The parents of Qin San Lang were both deceased, so in the place of honor sat only Elder Qin and two ancestral tablets placed side by side.
The tablets bore no names, only the family surname, yet no one paid any attention to such a detail; everyone was focused on the bride and groom, playfully urging, "Hurry and bow, bow quickly! Once you're done, we can kick off the wedding night fun!"
The sleeves of the bridal gown were voluminous, so Gu Jinli secretly held Qin San Lang's hand to comfort him.
Qin San Lang came back to his senses, gently squeezed her hand, and together they knelt and bowed to Elder Qin and the two tablets.
"Rise!" called out County Magistrate Zheng, and then he announced, "Husband and wife, bow to each other!"
Qin San Lang and Gu Jinli turned to face each other and solemnly bowed... A thump echoed as they ended up knocking their heads together, causing the whole room to erupt in laughter.
