It's been almost an year now, since Wei Ying and Lan Zhan parted at the hill just outside the territories of Gusu, now Lan Wangi often finds himself playing their song at night instead of Inquiry and the change is soothing for the whole Cloud Recess...
Their entry into Yunmeng is full of blast. All the streets are full of joyous children throwing red paper or flowers on the sedan, laughing and running all around while the elderly shower flowers from the roof of each building.
Gongs, pipas, souna, dizi and drums ring loud with each step they take. Wei Wuxian smiles, waving at the children and some people as they threw red paper and flowers on them. Fireworks went off everywhere, welcoming the new arrival. The entourage took a tour of the place- letting people see the sedan and greet the Lans.

Lan Wangji couldn't believe he had not passed out from all the noise. He had always known weddings to be full of sounds- something he had hated from the start. His own wedding is overflowing with it. But the barest glimpses of small feet and the joy of people which radiates in every action and smile keeps him from recoiling from it all. Somehow he finds himself smiling, his heart going rampant at the thought that this is for him and Wei Ying. The people are happy for them.
As soon as the Wei Ying and their retinue had reached Lotus Pier disciples and servants alike had hurried to get him to his waiting room where his servants fussed over him for a while before leaving him in peace. He waited, knowing tangjie would arrive only a few hour into the evening and it was noon right now. At least the entrance had been okay.
In absence of any immediate female family member (or any immediate family) related to the main Jiangs or Weis, it had been Jiang Wanyin and an old Jiang elder who welcomed him, helping him step over the saddle. Wei Ying had been there and that was the last Lan Wangji felt his presence before he was ushered to freshen up and have some rest before the ceremony. Soon Lan Zhanshi arrived and helped him with his hair and few wrinkles in his robes before an attendant came to tell them it was time.
"Nervous?" "Mn" "Then think of your Wei Ying. I am happy for you didi. Shijie wishes you a happy and prosperous marriage."

They make their way together towards the yard where a platform has been made for the occasion. Lan Xichen takes Lan Zhanshi's place near the entry and the woman nods the brothers once before going to join the others.
