Chapter 1297: The big wedding (End)

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

The celebrity guests had all arrived!

It was a star-studded event!

There wasn't a lot of them, but those who were here were all big names!

Soon, the reporters requested that the celebrities separately have their pictures taken with Zhang Ye.

Ning Lan.

Zhang Xia.

Chen Guang.

Lillian.

They had their pictures taken two by two, and it was capped off with a group photo.

Especially for an international superstar like Lillian, the media would definitely give special attention to her. If it weren't for the security lines that demarcated the reporters' activity area, the big group of them would have already rushed up to her. Zhang Ye's junior martial sister, Yang Shu, and several security personnel were over there holding them back. Anyone who came into the restricted area would be pushed back by Yang Shu, leaving quite a few the security personnel casting sidelong glances and wondering who this mysterious bodyguard of Zhang Ye's was. With just a few simple movements from her, it was enough to deduce that she was definitely a very skilled expert. Over there, Zhang Ye had just had two pictures taken with Lillian when his three sisters excitedly came flying over to request a group picture with her. When Lillian learned that these three were Zhang Ye's younger sisters, she naturally obliged.

On the large screen display in the open-air garden, congratulatory video messages by the different celebrities were being shown as well.

The Heavenly Queen Zhang Yuanqi's video recording appeared onscreen. "Zhang Ye, congratulations on getting married. I'm overseas and can't make it back for your wedding." The video turned to show buildings in the style of Western architecture behind her. "See, I wasn't lying. I really couldn't make it, so here's my blessings to the both of you. Don't pick on me about this, alright?"

Next up was A-list celebrity Huo Dongfang's video. The setting was a hospital. "Teacher Zhang, I injured my leg two days ago while filming and am currently hospitalized. I'm sorry I couldn't attend your wedding, but I'll be discharged in another few days. Let me make it up to you with a meal for my absence. So then, may you be blessed with a child soon, congratulations!"

The celebrities who couldn't make it to the wedding had all sent blessings in their place.

It was almost time.

It was also getting more and more boisterous.

Finally, Shanshan raised her microphone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen."

Yu Yingyi smiled and said, "Our honored guests."

A hush fell over everyone in the open-air garden as they looked at the two wedding ceremony emcees.

The reporters knew that the main event was about to begin and couldn't help but feel invigorated!

Dong Shanshan scanned the crowd and said, "Next, we'll welcoming the most beautiful bride as she makes her appearance. Is everyone looking forward to seeing her?"

"Yes!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

"Wow!"

"The bride will be coming out soon!"

"Where's the applause!"

Screams!

Applause!

Everyone was cheering unreservedly!

Zhang Ye was also greatly looking forward to it. He did not see Old Wu try on the wedding dress yesterday as she and her family deliberately did not allow him to see it. And this morning, he hadn't seen Old Wu yet either, so he was really curious about how his wife would look in the wedding dress.

Yu Yingyi said loudly, "Now then, let's have the bride make her glamorous appearance!"

The applause was very enthusiastic!

However, there was no sign of any activity on the red carpet.

Dong Shanshan laughed and said, "Let's welcome her again!"

Applause and cheers rang out again, but there was still no one to be seen.

Dong Shanshan was amused. "Oh, it looks like our bride is not so easy to invite out."

Everyone laughed, knowing that this meant there should be some door games 1 happening.

As expected, they immediately saw some people from Wu Zeqing's side of the family appearing on the red carpet. Her best friend, Xin Ya, and her sister, Fat Sis, were walking over with a large group of other women.

Zhang Ye was looking all around for Wu Zeqing. "Where is she?"

But he watched as Xin Ya, who was leading the group, broke into a smile. "Professor Zhang, if you want to see the bride, you'll have to get past us first."

Zhang Ye said with a chuckle, "You have games lined up?"

Xin Ya smiled and said, "Do you know what it means by life has its ups and downs? You've offended me in the past, so it's time that you paid me back for it."

Everyone laughed and jeered.

"It's time for the games!"

"Teacher Zhang, do your best!"

"Zhang'er, don't wuss out!"

"It'll be really shameful if you lose!"

"If you lose, you won't be getting married today!"

Most of the people here had heard about the fight between Peking University and Tsinghua University. The ones who led the groups that fought over the students were Zhang Ye and Xin Ya, respectively. But who could have thought that of these two youngest bright mathematicians of China, one turned out to be Wu Zeqing's husband, while the other was her best friend? This was such a dramatic development, but also what everyone loved seeing. The media also felt very excited!

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Sure, Professor Xin. Please lay down the rules of the game."

Xin Ya nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, I'm gonna say them then."

Zhang Ye said domineeringly, "Sure, I'll accept anything."

Fat Sis raised her fingers and said, "There are three tests."

A niece 2 of Old Wu's said, "Uncle-in-law, if you don't successfully complete the three tests, my aunt will not be coming out. At that time, you can return to wherever you came from."

Three tests?

So they were really serious about it?

But do you all think that this bro is afraid?

Zhang Ye shrugged and said, "Alright, I accept the challenge."

Xin Ya clapped her hands in glee. "Serve up the Four Treasures of the Study!"

The staff who were helping out immediately went to bring out the items one by one. Clearly, it was prepared in advance. Moreover, Zhang Ye and his studio's staff were not in the know. Obviously, Old Wu's friends and relatives were deliberately doing this to Zhang Ye, and it was also one of the more traditional activities that took place in Chinese weddings. No one was unfamiliar with the practice.

When everyone saw the items being carried out, they were taken aback.

What was this?

What were they going to compete on?

Xin Ya had already opened her mouth to explain. "For the first test, let's compare our literary skills."

Zhang Ye chuckled hard. "Who's competing with me?"

"I'll compete with you," Xin Ya answered with a giggle.

Zhang Ye smiled without saying anything.

Xin Ya smiled and said, "Don't be too happy yet. Have a look at the topic first before you say anything." She then laid out an already written scroll. "For the first test, we're going to compete on— one-syllable essays 3 ."

One-syllable essays?

What was that?

A lot of people could not understand it.

Only those teachers from Peking University's Chinese Department had an expression of shock on their faces.

Seeing this, Xin Ya explained, "I'll give everyone an example first. This is a one-syllable essay that I wrote earlier. As long as Teacher Zhang can come up with a similar one, it'll be considered my loss."

Zhang Ye sneered and said, "You wrote that?"

"Yeah," Xin Ya said unashamedly.

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes at her. "If you wrote this, I'll swallow this piece of paper whole!"

Xin Ya said, "Don't worry about who wrote it. Are you going to accept the challenge or not?"

Next to them was a projector, a computer, and a large screen. That scroll was very quickly displayed for all to see. When everyone saw it, they gasped!

The original writing was: X? x? x?, x? x? xì. Xí x? x? x? x? x? x?, xí x? xì xì xí x? x?. X? x? x?, xì xí x?. Xí x? x? x? x? x? xì. X? x? x? x? x? xí x?.

Its meaning was: The rhinoceros (x?) of the Western (x?) River (x?) loves (x?) to play (x?xì). Xi Xi (name: Xí X?) brings (x?) the rhinoceros (x?) out to the river (x?) every evening (x? x?), and carefully (xì xì) washes (xí x?) the rhinoceros (x?). The rhinoceros (x?) sucks up (x?) water from the river (x?) and sprays it playfully (xì xí) onto Xi Xi (name: Xí X?). Xi Xi (name: Xí X?) laughs (x? x?) and hopes (x?) that the rhinoceros (x?) will stop (x?) its antics (xì). Unfortunately (x?), the rhinoceros (x?) carried on (x? x?) playfully (x?) teasing (x?) Xi Xi (name: Xí X?). The essay depicted a scene where a child named Xi Xi was playing with a mischievous rhino on the Western River.

So this was what a one-syllable essay 4 was?

The entire essay only consisted of words of the same syllable?

And it even had to link up into a coherent story?

What the heck!

Wasn't this too difficult!

Who could come up with a reply against that!

A lot of the media's personnel were floored!

Many of the celebrities saw stars from the array of homophones on the scroll!

They had all seen their fair share of relatives and friends of brides who did their best to make things difficult for a groom. There were cases where they would be made to drink a lot, or eat an apple in an awkward way, as well as many other types of wedding games that were played. But it was the first time they witnessed anyone being put in such a difficult spot by a literary question. These people were indeed learned; they were a bunch of psychos!

Chang Kaige, the dean of the Chinese Department at Peking University, said, "I know this essay. Wasn't it written by Tsinghua University's Old Wang? When did it become your work?"

Old Wang?

The famous language professor at Tsinghua University's Chinese Department?

Xin Ya was not embarrassed by this at all. "In any case, the topic has already been given. It's a one-syllable essay. Let me have a look at my watch." She looked down, then said, "We're getting close to the auspicious hour. Professor Zhang, you can slowly think of how to answer it. Take your time, or you could also have your friends and relatives discuss it with you. But if you don't come up with an answer before the auspicious hour, the bride will not be coming out."

Dong Shanshan laughed from the stage and spoke into the microphone, "The bride's team has made their move. Will the groom be able to accomplish this test?"

Yu Yingyi said with a laugh, "This doesn't look good."

"Zhang'er!"

"Go for it!"

"Think hard!"

"This topic is too difficult!"

"Does anyone have an idea? Help him out."

"This person from Tsinghua is terrible!"

"Any friends from Peking University? Quickly help Teacher Zhang out!"

Zhang Ye's friends and relatives were all shouting.

But faced with this kind of crazily difficult topic, they couldn't offer any help at all. Even people like Peking University's Chang Kaige, Su Na, and Professor Zeng were unable to do anything about it.

Looking at them, Xin Ya gave a smug smile.

The bride's team was also smiling.

But Zhang Ye just looked at the topic and turned to Xin Ya, Fat Sis, and the others with a smile. He said, "Is that it?"

Xin Ya was taken aback. "Ah?"

Old Wu's niece was startled. "What?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "This is the question you're talking about?"

Xin Ya said, "Yes, it's this one. Give it a try if you dare."
