Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Chapter 529 Wedding Banquet

At this time, the Lin residence had become a completely different world.

The place was bustling with activity, with carriages and horses constantly passing by.

The vermilion gate was wide open, and red silk hung from the eaves to the ground, fluttering gently in the sea breeze.

Guests arrived in an endless stream, all dressed in fine clothes, their laughter and greetings filling the air.

Lin Ke, fearing that Xu Yiyi would feel embarrassed, specially invited Qingshan over as well.

Right now, she's cuddling with Wuyuan and Qingshan, happily eating their food together.

Besides the four appetizers prepared by Fatty Wang, the other main dishes were divided into eight categories, namely the Eight Treasures of Mountains and Seas Stew, as well as four kinds of staple foods such as cakes and pastries, refreshing vegetables, fruits, flowers and fruits of the four seasons, and finally, a soup to finish the banquet.

And this main course, as the name suggests, includes everything that swims in the sea and crawls on land.

One of the dishes is lamb ribs with sea urchin sauce, which is called a stew of land and sea delicacies.

The lamb ribs are first stewed and then roasted, resulting in a uniform amber-colored caramel sheen on the surface, but with a milky and creamy flavor.

There was also a braised pig's trotter with abalone. The pig's trotter was tender and the abalone was chewy and bouncy. The two of them ate without even looking up.

"The chef is quite skilled; every dish is delicious..."

Qingshan pointed at the dishes on the table with his chopsticks. "Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to attend our Captain's wedding banquet."

You should know that the social hierarchy is based on scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. Even if someone from Qingshan has a large and wealthy family, they are still looked down upon.

Xu Yi smiled and said, "It's more than just having some skill; it's already quite skillful."

In an instant, the rich aroma of wine, the steam of food, the scent of cosmetics, the fragrance of flowers, and the unique smell of new lacquer and colorful silk blended together, creating a joyous atmosphere.

The banquet was held in the open front courtyard and connecting corridor, with tables and chairs linked together and covered with scarlet brocade.

Servants moved about like a flowing stream, bringing wine and fruit one after another.

According to wedding customs, the ceremony is over, and now it is time for the celebration.

Musicians played festive tunes like "Urging to Dress Up" and "Removing the Fan" under the eaves, with the sounds of sheng, xiao, drums, and other instruments creating a lively and harmonious atmosphere.

They even hired people to perform acrobatic tricks, dressing up in comical ways to amuse the guests and solicit rewards, which drew bursts of laughter.

Wu Yuan was too young to walk yet, so he was trapped beside her, wrapped in a soft little cloak, with only his pink and tender little face showing. His dark, round eyes darted around, and he was drooling over the delicious food at the banquet, but unfortunately, he couldn't eat any of it.

Sanchuan and Sihai were different; they only ate a few bites before transforming into two nimble little fish and diving into the bustling crowd.

They followed the other children who were also there to join in the fun, running around between the tables and chairs, looking up at the magicians performing tricks, and stealing glances at the musicians playing instruments and singing under the eaves. Occasionally, a kind-looking uncle would offer them a piece of sweet cake or fruit, which they would happily accept with bright, excited eyes.

Her gaze swept over the throng of people and landed on the protagonist of the day.

Lin Ke shaved off his beard, making him look much younger, finally resembling a young man in his twenties.

Today, he has taken off his usual clothes or official robes and put on an extremely solemn crimson official robe, the color of which is deep red and almost purple, highlighting his status.

He wore a three-tiered crown and a gold belt, and his posture was upright.

Although he remained calm, there was a noticeable gentleness and joy in his eyes compared to usual.

And the bride...

The eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion was dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, a magnificent and elaborate blue deep-colored gown, layer upon layer, embroidered with exquisite phoenix and intertwined floral patterns, which shimmered with a delicate luster under the lamplight.

The jeweled hairpins and crown on her head almost covered half of her forehead, and the beaded curtains hanging down revealed a face with exquisite makeup and stunning beauty.

With an elegant posture, she stood beside Lin Ke with her head slightly bowed and a smile on her face. Her demeanor exuded the air of a great master, and her nobility was beyond compare.

Just as A-Yue said, she was stunningly beautiful.

The newlyweds stood side by side in front of the main seat, receiving rounds of congratulations from the guests.

The cheerleaders sang celebratory words, the guests raised their glasses in celebration, and waves of laughter and joy surged forth.

Attendants in red and maids in green surrounded him, attending to him attentively.
