Luo Song, with a red flower pinned to his chest, sat proudly on a tall horse, followed by an eight-person sedan chair, accompanied by dozens of chests filled with bridal gifts. Even in Shanggu Town, such an extravagant display of gifts was a rare sight.
The bridal procession made three rounds around Hua Village, and everyone joined in the procession for three full rounds as well, creating an atmosphere of joy that Hua Village had not experienced for years.
Then, led by the wedding matron, Hua Jin entered her husband's home, stepping over a fire basin symbolizing vibrant flames and prosperity. With the matron's loud singing, the ceremony reached its joyous completion, and Hua Jin was led to the bridal chamber.
Hua Jin stepped over a saddle that symbolized peace and blessings, dispelling bad luck and bringing good fortune until she sat on the bridal bed, finally exhaling a sigh of relief.
