Chapter 183 Live Broadcast Starts
While Shen Minghui was busy looking for a companion for his father in his later years, Lin Yuxi was also busy.
Without hesitation, she sought help from her fourth brother and asked for several professionals with rich experience in filming, editing and self-media account operation, thus starting her first live broadcast journey in this world.
Lin Yuxi chose an antique Chinese courtyard as the venue for her live broadcast. There were pavilions, towers, and winding paths here, making it seem as if she had traveled back to ancient times.
The live broadcast room is decorated exquisitely and elegantly, with various ancient utensils and calligraphy and paintings displayed, creating a strong cultural atmosphere.
Lin Yuxi sat in front of the dressing table, surrounded by professional makeup artists and stylists.
"Ms. Lin, what do you think of this makeup?" the makeup artist asked softly.
Lin Yuxi opened her eyes slightly, looked carefully at herself in the mirror, and nodded gently: "Not bad, it fits today's theme very well."
The stylist then handed over a gorgeous ancient costume: "This is something we prepared specially for you. It is made of the finest silk fabric and has exquisite hand-embroidery."
Lin Yuxi stood up and put on her ancient costume, her sleeves fluttering like a fairy descending from the earth. She smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, thank you for your hard work."
Before the live broadcast began, Lin Yuxi took a deep breath and adjusted her state.
As the staff countdown ended, the camera lit up and Lin Yuxi smiled and gracefully greeted the audience: "Dear friends, hello, welcome to my live broadcast room, I am Lin Yuxi."
A large number of viewers immediately flooded into the live broadcast room, and comments like "The goddess is so beautiful!" and "This scene is amazing!"
Lin Yuxi cleared her throat and said, "Today, I want to share with you the etiquette culture of ancient times. In ancient times, etiquette was very important. It not only reflected a person's cultivation, but was also an important part of social order."
As she spoke, several actors in ancient costumes walked out beside her. They followed Lin Yuxi's explanation and began to demonstrate various etiquette movements.
"First, it's the greeting. In ancient times, when peers met, they usually bowed." Lin Yuxi demonstrated as he spoke, and the actors followed suit.
"In this hand-to-hand greeting, men make a fist with their right hand and cover their left hand with their right hand, while women do the opposite. This is a common greeting etiquette that shows respect and friendliness."
Viewers left comments one after another: "So that's how it is, I've learned something new!"
“When the younger generation sees the elders, they must bow to show respect.” Lin Yuxi’s voice was clear and pleasant, and her explanation was very detailed.
Someone in the barrage asked: "Then was the court etiquette in ancient times more complicated?"
Lin Yuxi nodded and said, "That's right. The court etiquette is even more complicated and strict. Take the court ceremony for example. When ministers see the emperor, they have to kneel three times and kowtow nine times. The movements must be standardized and neat. If there is any mistake, it may be a crime of disrespect."
At this time, actors played the roles of ministers and the emperor, vividly presenting the scene of worship, which the audience watched with great interest.
Lin Yuxi continued, "There are also dining etiquettes. In ancient times, there were strict rules for seating arrangements and tableware use during meals. For example, the elders sat at the upper seats, and the younger generations sat at the lower seats in order."
The audience in the live broadcast room said that they had learned something new and kept sending gifts.
Lin Yuxi was secretly happy in her heart, and she became more devoted to her explanation: "Let's talk about wedding etiquette. In ancient times, there were six ceremonies in a wedding, namely, Nacai, Wenming, Naji, Nazheng, Qingqi, and Qinying. Each link is full of ritual sense and beautiful meaning."
During the explanation, Lin Yuxi also interspersed some short stories about ancient etiquette, allowing the audience to have a deeper understanding of the charm of ancient culture.
"Do you know? In ancient times, if a person did not know etiquette, he would be called a 'rude person' and be despised and rejected by everyone.
In that era, etiquette was like a yardstick to measure people's character, regulating people's words and deeds in meticulous detail.
There are etiquettes for walking, sitting and lying down. When walking, one must walk steadily, not hurriedly or messily; when sitting, one must sit upright, not crookedly; even when sleeping, there is a set of strict etiquette standards. If someone loses sense of propriety in these aspects, he will be regarded as uneducated and his family will be disgraced.
Etiquette in socializing is even more numerous and important. When visiting someone, you need to hand in a visit card in advance and not go rashly; when meeting someone, you need to bow and kowtow, be polite and courteous, and speak humbly and gently. If you use foul language and behave arrogantly during conversation, you will be severely reprimanded by others, or even cut off from contact.
In public, etiquette is equally strict. At a banquet, the seating order is based on seniority. When eating, you need to chew slowly and not eat fast or make indecent noises. If you violate this rule, you will not only be criticized on the spot, but you may also become the laughing stock of the street.
In short, the importance of etiquette in ancient times was beyond imagination. People who did not understand etiquette could hardly take a single step in society. ..."
Just when the live broadcast was in full swing, a comment suddenly caught Lin Yuxi's attention: "Host, you speak so well, are you also a time traveler?"
Lin Yuxi's heart tightened, but she still kept a smile on her face and replied calmly: "Haha, I just have a strong interest in ancient culture. After a long period of study and research, I have achieved today's results."
As the live broadcast was coming to an end, Lin Yuxi smiled and said, "Thank you all for watching and supporting me. If you like my live broadcast, please follow my account. See you next time."
After the broadcast, Xiao Min ran over excitedly: "Sister Yuxi, you are so awesome! We won our first battle today, the number of viewers has exceeded 10,000, and the number of likes is countless!"
Lin Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is just the beginning. We have to keep working hard."
She knew very well that she did live broadcasts not only to become famous, but also to let more people understand ancient culture, especially when Su Yao had already been valued by the country.
From her experiences in ancient times, she was well aware of the profoundness of ancient culture. She also knew how much harm would be caused if a selfish person like Su Yao used ancient knowledge for personal gain.
Even though Su Yao is under supervision now and the degree of harm may be zero, we still have to try our best to do what we should do. This is called preparing for a rainy day!
……
At this time, Lin Yuxi's fourth brother called and said, "Little sister, you did a good job! I didn't expect you to be so talented in this area."
Lin Yuxi smiled and said, "Fourth brother, thanks to the professionals you found for me. Without them, I wouldn't be able to do so well."
The fourth brother laughed heartily on the other end of the phone: "Haha, we are family and we don't have different opinions. But we have seen your efforts and dedication. You can't let down your guard and keep up this momentum."
Lin Yuxi nodded solemnly, even though Fourth Brother couldn't see it, "Fourth Brother, don't worry, I know what's going on. By the way, how is your family doing recently?"
"Everything is fine at home, but our parents are always thinking about you. You should come back more often when you have time." Fourth brother's voice was full of concern.
"Yes, I know. I'll go back after I'm done with this period of time."
……
In Jinghe Community, the former hustle and bustle no longer exists. Under the proper arrangements of the state, the residents have all moved away, and now there is only silence.
Officials were busy in the community in an orderly manner. Cleaners carefully cleaned every corner, leaving no dust behind; technicians were concentrating on installing various advanced prevention and control systems and security systems, raising the confidentiality level here to the highest level.
In order to provide a comfortable and suitable research environment for Su Yao, the daughter of Marquis Jin'an who traveled through time from ancient times, the relevant personnel made careful arrangements.
The original high-end villas in the community have been renovated and decorated to have a more ancient charm. The houses are filled with antique furniture, from tables, chairs, beds to calligraphy and painting ornaments, all of which are exquisite and elegant.
Flowers, plants and trees familiar to Su Yao were also planted in the courtyard, in an effort to make her feel a sense of familiarity here.
……
At the same time, the research team's office area is also being prepared in full swing. The spacious and bright room is equipped with the most advanced research equipment and data storage facilities to ensure that the research on ancient humanities and history can be carried out smoothly.
The entire Jinghe community seems to have awakened from a deep sleep, ushering in a new mission, and is about to unveil a mysterious chapter of the fusion of ancient and modern times.
The residence specially arranged by the state for Su Yao is warm and elegant. The study is filled with various ancient books and modern research materials for her to consult at any time. The bed in the bedroom is covered with soft brocade bedding, and there is an exquisite dressing table beside the bed, as if people have traveled back to the ancient boudoir.
In the public area of the community, a new antique garden was built. Pavilions and towers were arranged in an orderly manner, rockery and pools complemented each other, and stone tables and stone benches were placed in the winding paths for Su Yao to rest and enjoy the scenery in her spare time.
……
In order to ensure Su Yao's living needs, a service team is specially equipped.
The team members include professionals from various fields. There are not only stylists who are proficient in beauty and makeup, but also they can create exquisite makeup and design unique hairstyles for Su Yao at any time according to her preferences and temperament, allowing her to show her charming style.
There are also skilled chefs who carefully prepare all kinds of delicious dishes every day. Whether it is the eight major Chinese cuisines or romantic Western meals, they can satisfy Su Yao's taste buds and let her fully experience the richness and diversity of modern food culture in her diet.
There is also an experienced and thoughtful housekeeper who arranges every aspect of Su Yao's life in detail, from a comfortable living environment to thoughtful daily reminders.
……
The members of the research team are also actively preparing. They repeatedly discuss the research plan, hoping to obtain more valuable information about ancient humanities and history from Su Yao and fill the gaps in historical research.
Every corner of Jinghe Community is full of expectations and hopes, waiting for Su Yao to open this door of knowledge connecting ancient and modern times and write a unique chapter of history together.
As time went by, the renovation work of Jinghe Community was nearing completion. Under the guidance of the staff, Su Yao walked into this "new home" carefully built for her.
Members of the research team also moved into the community one after another. They looked forward to communicating with Su Yao with awe and curiosity.
……
On this day, sunlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Su Yao, wearing an elegant ancient costume, was looking at her makeup carefully in the mirror.
"Miss Su is dressed very beautifully today." Wu Mengqi said softly.
Su Yao nodded slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "Of course, my demeanor should be outstanding no matter when and where."
Wu Mengqi smiled and agreed: "Miss Su is absolutely right."
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Wu Mengqi went to open the door. It turned out that it was a member of the expert group who came to invite Su Yao to explain ancient etiquette.
Su Yao walked out of the room with an elegant posture, and the members of the expert group cast admiring glances at her.
"Miss Su, today I'd like you to teach us the secrets of ancient etiquette." An expert said politely.
Su Yao smiled gently, her voice as sweet as a yellow oriole: "You are welcome, it is my honor to contribute to the study of ancient culture."
Humph, let these so-called modern people see how powerful I am!
In the lecture hall, Su Yao stood in front of everyone, behaved dignifiedly, and began to explain in detail the various etiquette norms of ancient times. Her every movement and every look seemed to carry the charm of ancient times.
"In ancient times, when women saluted, they had to bend their knees slightly, fold their hands at their waists, and lower their heads slightly..." Su Yao said as she demonstrated.
Everyone listened attentively, nodding in praise from time to time.
After the explanation, an expert stood up first and said, "Miss Su, the etiquette for women you just talked about is quite similar to some etiquette norms of the Song Dynasty in my country, but it is also unique in details. I wonder if there are differences in this etiquette between different classes in your Tianqi Dynasty?"
Su Yao nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes: "This gentleman asked a good question. In the Tianqi Dynasty, the etiquette of officials and civilians is different. The daughters of officials are more dignified and elegant, with small and precise movements; civilian women are relatively casual, but still polite."
Another expert immediately asked, "Miss Su, what are the etiquettes for men? Compared with the etiquette of men in ancient my country, what are the characteristics?"
Su Yao flicked her sleeves and said slowly: "Men usually bow with their fists clasped. However, in formal occasions, such as in the court, they need to kneel down. Compared with women, the etiquette of men in the Tianqi Dynasty pays more attention to the uprightness of their bodies and the display of their momentum."
The experts took notes, discussed among themselves, and asked Su Yao new questions.
"Miss Su, is there anything special about the wedding etiquette of the Apocalypse Dynasty?"
Su Yao raised her lips, revealing a look of reminiscence: "Weddings are a major event in life, and weddings in the Tianqi Dynasty are extremely grand. The bride needs to wear a phoenix crown and a red robe, and the groom needs to ride a horse to welcome the bride. When worshiping in the hall, it is important to bow three times and kowtow nine times, and the etiquette is thorough."
At this time, an elderly expert said thoughtfully: "From what Miss Su said, the etiquette culture of the Tianqi Dynasty seems to have integrated the characteristics of multiple periods and formed its own style."
"This provides us with new perspectives and ideas for studying the evolution and development of ancient rituals."
Su Yao responded with a smile: "I am very pleased to be able to help you with your research."
