On the sixth day of October, in the late hour of si. Wenhan and Wencheng's wedding procession appeared at the gate of the Xu family's residence. Wenchang, along with Wenxuan, Mingyu, and Ziwen, waited until the procession drew near and then lit the firecrackers that had been hoisted on wooden poles earlier.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the bridal sedan chairs arrived at the gate. Wenhan, being the elder brother, was to enter first, followed by Wencheng and his spouse.
At this season, the outdoors was already covered in ice and snow, so naturally, the ancestral worship ceremony would be held in the main hall. The patriarch and matriarch took their rightful places at the foremost seats, alongside them were the Zhixin and Zhiming couples.
The two pairs of newlyweds entered and stood side by side. After bowing to heaven and earth, and to their elders, and then performing the bows between spouses, they were ushered into their respective bridal chambers.
