Old Madam Liu stood up excitedly, then sat back down, her eyes sparkling.
When she saw Bai Shan and Zhou Man holding the red silk as they entered, Old Madam Liu's eyes were full of comfort. The matchmaker and Bai Dalang guided them to the front, and Bai Dalang stood beside Old Madam Liu smiling broadly and shouted loudly, "Here come the newlyweds—"
Today he was the attendant.
The auspicious words had been written down earlier, and he just had to read them. Bai Dalang had practiced privately many times, so now he read them fluently, shouting, "The bride and groom pay respects to their elders, kneel—"
Manbao and Bai Shan knelt down holding the red silk, and Bai Dalang shouted, "Bow your heads—"
The two bowed to Old Madam Liu, who nodded repeatedly and extended her hand, saying, "Quickly rise..."
Bai Dalang shouted, "Bow again—"
The two changed position slightly and bowed to Ms.Zheng, who was also very excited, nodding repeatedly and raising her hand to let them rise.
