Amidst the bustling day that passed, Lin Wanwan gained a wealth of knowledge, experiencing the rural wedding customs of the Great Tang a thousand years ago. For the wedding guests, the most impressive sight of the day was the three-tier fresh cream cake.
Even though they tried to buy a larger size, the cake was still insufficient to go around.
When a man gets married, the first thing is to hold a clan feast. Each household sends a representative to the feast, with no need for a gift—since they are of the same family, there's no distinction. Everyone needs to help each other, with each household sending someone to assist with the work.
In Lin Family Manor, it is considered few to have three generations living together; most families have four generations. Since the elders don't move, the younger ones cannot split the family, so according to household counts, Lin Family Manor has a total of forty-two families. The clan feast has four tables, which were tightly squeezed together.
