Chapter 703: Ceremony
That night, Lang Sheng lost his status as a legendary wizard. A great sage no longer, Sage and Zhu Jiao donned a far simpler set of clothing than the day before. He donned a red tang suit which was actually quite casual with only a couple layers, while Zhu Jiaos dress was a cheongsam, or qipao, with high slits on either side. After Zhu Jiao donned that qipao, he ended up immediately taking it back off her and delaying the start of their day.
The morning was dedicated to introductions. Zhu Jiao was supposed to meet everyone on Sages side, especially since she was now Lang Jiao. They ran into the three Tiankong brothers, the groomsmen, and then Lang Jiaos four friends, her bridesmaids. They laughed and teased the newlyweds and soon more and more people gathered back within the giant chamber from the day before. The gatecrashing event had introduced the men and women to each other so they had been talking a bit after the wedding ceremony the day before. Traditionally, now that she had officially become his wife, Lang Jiao should now be taken to meet everyone in his family, but that was a very short list. She already knew all of the Tiankong siblings, and the Lang Clan was already wiped out.
Even so, there should still be a wedding banquet held at the grooms home and the afternoon was dedicated to it. Most of the Zhu Clan members that had come the day before had already left, as they had to hold their own wedding banquet during the evening. They were faced with a busy day full of celebrating. It would be an exhausting affair except that there just werent many people at their own feast, mainly their closest friends, which meant they could have an intimate celebration before having to attend a large formal party with all the important folks of the city coming to pay their respects to the Zhu Clan.
Is your whole body hairless?
One of the bridesmaids asked Tujiu with a coquettish gleam in her eyes. The brute laughed and leaned towards the woman with interest and they started bantering. One of the others was teasing Juzui about what he can do with his large mouth and dance moves, while the other two were being chased around by Jiyao.
Poor things, they dont realize that Zhu Clan women can only flirt, I hope they dont get their hopes up.
The event was set to start along with the fall of night, and the Zhu Clan was no stranger to holding wedding banquets. As a Clan who specialized in making marriages for benefit, they had an amazing set of large open walled buildings with an enchanting water garden connecting them. Each of these buildings had a slightly different theme and were placed like islands between a fairy-tale atmosphere of mirrored silvery water, giant brilliant green lily pads and lotus flowers, and cranes dancing in the moonlight with fireflies.
Despite holding so many weddings in this area, the Zhu Clan always managed to find a way to make each and every one of them feel unique and different from the rest. For this wedding, the Lang Clan had very few in attendance, and on the Zhu Clan side, Zhu Jiao had lost their trust. She was a promising talent when she was young, but she refused to follow their strict training regimens over and over again. Eventually, they stopped giving her chances and she was chosen to fulfill an agreement from long ago. For the higher ups of the Zhu Clan they were merely selling off a failed investment for pennies on the dollar.
Yet, even with all of this in mind, that didnt stop them from making Zhu Jiaos wedding banquet into a spectacle. There werent many people in the Lang Clan to attend and there werent many in the Zhu Clan who wanted to attend, but didnt that just mean there was lots of room to work with?
The Zhu Clan used this wedding not to honor the family they were marrying into, or to show off their own wealth like when a man was marrying into their family. Instead, they used this as an advertisement of their skills. Many rich and influential figures were invited from the neighboring cities and provinces, hundreds of them coming to make better relations with the Zhu Clan and hoping to snatch some for themselves.
In the central pavilion area, the main wedding banquet was being held. Massive tables with many times more food than these guests could ever eat. Each of the dishes were prepared by true Chefs, using imported Demonic Beast materials from far off places. The guests eyes went wide from the sight of so many unusual delicacies and delicious treats.
On the adjoining pavilions, separated by a short stroll over one of the many picturesque bridges over the water, they would enter an entertainment venue. Some of them had elaborate stage shows, others had beautiful Zhu Clan members singing solo, or in groups while others had dancers in a dozen variations of style and composition. There were even a few of the islands dedicated to those with rougher tastes with sporting events and sparring matching being held. In short, this wedding banquet was more like an impromptu fair or festival, showing off the splendor and grandeur of the Zhu Clan as well as their ability to plan and execute such festivities.
