Chapter 135: Telling each other the truth, the Chinese people's implicitness

It's like it's stealing the show.

After the lunch banquet, Huang Mingming took Martha and a group of bridesmaids to the bride's house, while Liang Jianxin and a group of groomsmen carried Lin Yan back to the groom's house.

Originally Lin Yan thought it was just a formality, but when he saw Liang Jianxin taking off his bright red wedding dress and giving it to him, Lin Yan really felt that it was a bit too much.

"No, no, no, this is really no, brother."

Lin Yan waved his hands repeatedly and advised: "Today is your big day anyway, it's okay for everyone to get together and have fun, but if you, the groom, take off your wedding clothes, how can that be decent?"

Liang Jianxin laughed and said, "Hey, what's the big deal? Brother Yan, don't you want to see your sister-in-law wearing the same bright red wedding gown?"

Lin Yan was slightly stunned.

In order to better integrate into the atmosphere of China, Martha has always dressed herself in extremely slim and beautiful Hanfu. Although Martha is already beautiful enough in Hanfu, if she puts on this unique national costume of the Qiang people, and the carefully prepared bright red wedding gown, this...

If he said he didn't want to watch it, he would be lying.

Seeing Lin Yan wavering, Liang Jianxin immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Since it's a show, it's best to do it in full. Brother Yan, think about it, if your sister-in-law happily puts on her wedding gown and looks forward to you marrying her, but you don't take this wedding seriously and still wear the same clothes, think about how disappointed your sister-in-law will be? You don't want to make your sister-in-law unhappy, right? Brother Yan?"

Lin Yan was embarrassed: "Isn't Mingming fooling Martha in the same way over there?"

Liang Jianxin: “Ahem.”

Seeing that he couldn't hide it by just laughing it off, Liang Jianxin had no choice but to say earnestly:
"Brother Yan, Mingming and I have to stay in the village. We may not have the chance to meet offline in the future. This time, you helped me and the entire village. We should at least show some appreciation, right?"

"Our wedding is indeed a big event, but compared with the great kindness you, Brother Yan, have shown to our village, it seems insignificant. At least, let us help sister-in-law to show our appreciation."

"If sister-in-law doesn't mean that, just think of it as you and Martha coming to our village to experience the local customs and practices."

"If sister-in-law really means that, we will definitely not let you guys down, Brother Yan!"

-

It was like a replay of the scene at noon.

After both sides prepared for a while, a group of groomsmen - this time Liang Jianxin himself was even among the groomsmen - surrounded Lin Yan, who was the guest groom today and dressed in a wedding gown, and walked onto the bustling village streets.

"Brother Yan, this is it!"

Liang Jianxin introduced enthusiastically, "According to our tradition, this is about the distance between men and women for singing duets. Brother Yan, as long as you sing a few duets with sister-in-law, you will be able to win her heart!"

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Lin Yan was now at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He wanted to leave this ridiculous scene, but he couldn't help thinking that maybe Martha was really wearing that beautiful wedding gown, covered with that hazy red veil, waiting for him to take off the veil for her. Damn, I wanted to refuse, but the cake they painted was too delicious!
"The problem is, I can't sing your folk songs?"

Lin Yan said in a tangled tone.

Liang Jianxin immediately patted his chest and said, "Hey, it's not a big deal, Brother Yan, just sing the songs that you both like! As long as men and women can express their feelings through singing, everything else is just trivial!"

No, have you forgotten that Martha is from the Emirates, not China! She is not familiar with Chinese songs, and I am not familiar with Emirates songs, so how can we sing the same song?
Do I have to spend more legend points to redeem the "Complete Collection of Songs of Chief Alian"?
Calm down, calm down, this is just the first "level". If you can't even overcome such a small problem, it will spoil everyone's fun.

Lin Yan hesitated for a moment, and then the man took the initiative to sing:

"Have friends come from afar?"

Zhuangmiao Village & the people in the live broadcast room: "...Huh?"

Isn't this a classic quote from The Analects? When did it become a love song for men and women? Brother Yan, you are desperate and trying all kinds of methods to cure your own disease, right?

However, although this is a famous quote from The Analects, Lin Yan himself did compose a melody on the spot and sang this sentence in the form of a folk song, which also resonated with the surrounding mountains and rivers, as if the entire forest was singing the song -

My dear girl, you have come here from a very far country. It is such a joy for me to meet you, my guest.

Since the Chinese song Masha is not understandable, and the Alian song Linyan is not understandable, then why not just not use either song, and use the melody you composed on the spot, and perform a unique "duet" with the Chinese classics!

Only this, Lin Yan believed that Martha would understand what he meant.

After all, when he helped the old man up in the downtown area of ​​Chang'an and explained to Martha the famous saying of "Respect the old of one's own and the old of others", he spent the entire evening explaining to Martha these sentences that the Chinese are proud of and that are even deeply integrated into the Chinese national spirit.

He believed that with Martha's love for Chinese culture, she would be able to apply these words in the present!
In the bride's "wedding room", Martha, wearing a bright red wedding gown, was a little at a loss for a moment, but Huang Mingming and other bridesmaids held Martha's hands, encouraging her not to be afraid and to boldly express her feelings to her loved one.

Soon, a timid, yet firm and loud singing voice rang out.

"When a scholar has been away for three days, he will be looked at with new eyes."

When I came here, I was amazed at the tremendous changes in China over the past thirty years, and was deeply impressed by your changes. This land, this civilization, and this beloved person right in front of me all made my heart beat fast and I looked at them with new eyes!
Lin Yan smiled and guided Martha through their meeting, the hotel, the subway, the rain disaster in Chang'an, the sandstorm in western Xinjiang... Along the way, they used singing to express their feelings, used poetic and picturesque words to express their deep metaphorical sorrow, and sang to each other, deeply immersed in the song.

And when their singing voices came from far away and became closer, from the first time they met in Jinghai to now when they sang to each other, the line sung by Lin Yan immediately made Martha's heart beat faster, and her face under the red veil became more and more red!
"Guan Guan Jiujiu, in the river island, a graceful lady, a gentleman likes to fight."

This sentence was a famous line from the Book of Songs that Lin Yan had not explained to Martha that night. In theory, Martha should not know this sentence.

However, this sentence has such a huge influence in the Chinese cultural circle that even if Lin Yan had not mentioned it to Martha, Martha had already learned the true meaning of this poem from other places long ago, and her heart was beating fast for it!
——Yan, are you making a subtle confession to me?
She felt her heart pounding, as if she was standing in front of a crucial crossroads in her life. Once she made a choice, there would be no chance to regret!
Even so, she sang her answer without hesitation:
"The water chestnuts are uneven, and they are picked left and right. The graceful ladies are accompanied by bells and drums."

I've heard of this poem, Yan! I know what you mean!

If you really want to pursue me, then I will respond to every move you make! Your every word, every move, as long as I am by your side, can make me feel endless joy for you!
me……!
