Chapter 134 The Surprise Prepared by the Villagers
Accompanying the new ceremony?
What is this thing you haven't heard of?
Martha showed her usual puzzled expression and looked at Lin Yan unconsciously, wanting to ask if this was also part of the unique wedding ceremony of the powerful tribe?
She was too focused on Lin Yan and didn’t notice that, not to mention Lin Yan, even the villagers in the village were confused. It seemed like they had heard of the term “Ban Xin Yi” for the first time!
Huang Mingming secretly elbowed Liang Jianxin, and the groom suddenly seemed to "wake up from a dream". He slapped his forehead and shouted loudly as well.
"Oh, something bad has happened! It is indeed something bad!"
Lin Yan was also a little confused: "Jianxin, don't panic if there is anything. If you need my and Martha's help, we will definitely be willing to help as long as we can."
Although he knew a lot of knowledge, he was not a member of the Qiang tribe after all. It was normal that he did not understand some less famous ethnic customs.
"Hey, it's not a big deal."
Liang Jianxin smiled cheerfully and said, "In fact, our village hasn't performed the wedding ceremony for a long time. To put it simply, when a family member gets married, it is best for the man and woman to each invite a friend of the opposite sex from outside the village, and then let the friends of the opposite sex go through the same process of our wedding ceremony."
"The word 'ban' here means 'companion' as in 'best man and bridesmaid', and also means 'dress up' or 'act as'. If the pretending 'couple' can complete the wedding ceremony smoothly with the cooperation of the whole village, it naturally means that the newlyweds will have a smoother life in the future. It can be regarded as a small ceremony to bring good luck."
Lin Yan: “???”
Find a man and a woman from other places and ask them to act out the role of a newlywed couple and go through the same wedding process. The smoother the acting process is, the smoother their marriage life will be in the future?
There is such a unique wedding custom? Why do I feel that there is something wrong? It doesn't make sense from the concept to the process!
At this moment, the surrounding villagers seemed to have understood what was said and all showed an expression of "sudden enlightenment".
"Oh my, that's right, it's been so long since anyone has been willing to visit our poor place, and I almost forgot the procedures our ancestors left behind!"
"I was wondering why I always have conflicts with my wife as I approach middle age. It turns out it's because I didn't do this back then... uh..."
"Accompany the new ceremony."
"Yes, yes, yes. My marriage is not going well. No matter how I think about it, it's all because I didn't arrange a wedding ceremony when I got married!"
"Oh, it's a rare coincidence that Dr. Lin and Miss Martha have come all the way to attend Jianxin's wedding today."
"No, no, no, it's not easy to play the role of a couple. It would be best to find a couple who are truly in love to participate in the wedding ceremony. Doctor Lin and Miss Martha haven't even established their relationship yet. It's too much to ask them to play the role of a couple and go through the wedding ceremony!"
"That's right. Although everyone knows that this is a performance, it's hard for outsiders to accept it, and it's hard to force anything."
All the villagers sang in unison and made the "New Ceremony" very realistic.
Martha is dumbfounded now!
She really didn’t know whether the Qiang tribe really had such a special marriage custom, but, but...!
Can I play a newlywed couple with Yan?
Can I experience the entire process that I was so envious of just now with Yan?
Let me wear a red veil, let Yan carry me through the door, sing songs, bow to each other, and even enter, enter...
“Isn’t this too bad…?”
Thinking of that romantic scene, Martha suddenly felt her blood boiling, her breathing became heavy, she unconsciously held Lin Yan's hand, her cheeks flushed, "After all, Yan and I are not that kind of relationship... Suddenly getting married, worshiping in the hall, entering the bridal chamber, etc., it's really not good, right? Right? Yan? Right? Although I feel a little sorry for Jianxin and the others, there is no way, I have to refuse, right?"
No, if you want to refuse, just refuse. Why are you pinching my hand? It hurts...
Lin Yan was dumbfounded by Martha's reluctant look.
Even though Martha kept saying that it would be better to refuse, Lin Yan had no doubt that if he really dared to say no, Martha would be so angry that she would sprain her wrist!
"Ahem, Martha, I don't think this is right."
He immediately said righteously: "Jianxin said it very clearly. This is not a real wedding. We are just following their special wedding customs and playing husband and wife for a period of time. No one would take the acting seriously, right?" "Yes, yes, Brother Lin is absolutely right."
Huang Mingming immediately gave a thumbs up happily, "If acting can be taken seriously, then the film and television industry would have been in chaos by now, right? Since it's acting, just think of it as helping a friend and putting on a show. No one will take it seriously..."
Hiss, that’s not right, there’s murderous intent!
"I mean, no one would really think of this as a formal wedding ceremony, right? I guess everyone thinks so!"
"Exactly, absolutely! That's right!"
"Martha, please just consider it as helping Jianxin this time, please!"
The surrounding villagers cheered as hard as they could.
Martha could hardly control the overwhelming joy on her face, and said hurriedly: "This, this... since everyone says so, how can I refuse... Yan, what do you think? What do you think?"
How dare I say no?
Lin Yan sweated profusely as he looked at Qian Qian's slender hands pinching him harder and harder.
and!
Act out a couple scene with Martha and get married?
This doesn't seem to be a bad thing, does it?
not bad?
The live broadcast room was in an uproar. The stake and noose that had just been prepared for Liang Jianxin, the traitor who had escaped from singlehood, suddenly made all netizens feel that they did not quite meet their current urgent needs.
"Where's my guillotine? Where is the guillotine? I feel like hanging and burning to death isn't enough to describe the way Lin Yan, the bastard, deserves to die."
"Do you need one made right now? I'm from Lanxi, and I'm an expert at this."
"Don't rush to remove the noose. I have horses at home, and the noose is just enough to tie up five horses for old thief Lin Yan."
"We can also keep the stake, and tie the pieces to it and roast them to make oil for lighting sky lanterns."
Lin Yan: Hey, hey, hey, what scary stuff are you guys discussing? Don’t ban my livestream, you bastards!
However, no matter how many torture instruments the live broadcast room prepared, it was thousands of miles away from the isolated Zhuangmiao Village! Distant water cannot quench nearby fire!
"A word is settled!"
Seeing Lin Yan and Martha nodding in turn, the villagers of Zhuangmiao Village immediately became excited. They almost wanted the two to sign and seal their agreement, and they immediately started to get busy.
"Oh, it's the Huang family girl who has the most clever ideas. No wonder she passed the exam that year... Ahem, since the two benefactors are willing to help Jianxin with this big favor, we will definitely cooperate with them to leave the most unforgettable memory for Dr. Lin and Miss Martha!"
"That's right! We are definitely not thinking of ways to repay the two benefactors. We definitely don't have such an idea!"
"You're so stupid, shut up! Someone, sew his mouth shut!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
