Su Qingluan didn't know what Tian Xing'er was thinking. She felt a little hungry now - after all, although it seemed that a long time had passed, it was because Su Qingluan got up too early today.
The consequence of getting up too early was that even if she had eaten something in the morning and at noon, her stomach was now empty again.
But Yang, and later "Mrs. Shiquan" and all her aunts and uncles told her that every meal today could only fill her stomach, and she could not eat anything after noon.
Su Qingluan later asked Yang privately and found out that this was because there were many "procedures" required today, and there were guests coming and going all the time. The bride was not allowed to eat too much or eat gas-producing foods because if any embarrassing sounds or smells were produced during the process, it would embarrass the bride and make others laugh at her.
So Su Qingluan thought of a solution yesterday: she prepared a large pot of sugar and salt supplement liquid in advance. Although this thing didn't taste very good, it could at least prevent Su Qingluan from having low blood sugar due to not eating for a long time, or electrolyte imbalance due to excessive sweating.
The best part is that this sugar and salt water solution is in a completely liquid state and does not produce any food residue, so naturally there will be no feeling of flatulence or defecation. It is simply a life-saving panacea in such forced social situations.
But this is not completely without disadvantages. After all, this solution can only fill you up with water and does not provide any sense of fullness. Therefore, after that little bit of water passes through the stomach, you will still feel very hungry.
However, for Su Qingluan, who often had to undergo physical examinations on an empty stomach in her previous life and couldn't even drink a sip of water, this level of "starvation" was naturally not a big deal.
Several girls noticed that Su Qingluan had been drinking from a bamboo kettle connected to a straw from time to time. Liu Yunniang was the most familiar with Su Qingluan among them and got along with her most casually, so she asked, "Qingluan, what are you drinking?"
Su Qingluan explained the effects and proportions of this sugar-salt supplement to the girls in detail: "In short, if you can't bring any food with you, or if you're afraid of strange smells and sounds like me, you can drink some of this to prevent yourself from fainting from hunger. You can also drink it if you've been sweating too much."
"Is it delicious?" Zhaodi asked curiously.
Su Qingluan frowned and looked at the bamboo tube: "...Well, it tastes weird." In short, it's hard to comment.
Seeing her friends' eager expressions, Su Qingluan dug out a few spare microphone straws from the drawer that had been used in case of "emergencies" and handed them to them to satisfy their curiosity. Anyway, it would be easy for her to make some more of these things.
The three people had different expressions after tasting it. Liu Yunniang was a "widely accepting but carnivorous alien", so for this kind of thing, she "could drink it but didn't like it."
Zhaodi probably had the good chance to drink something "flavorful" and actually drank it with gusto. She said she wanted to go back and get some to drink regularly, but was stopped by Su Qingluan. After all, with the current level of medical technology, maintaining oral hygiene would be a big problem if this thing was drunk frequently.
But the one who couldn't accept it the most was Tian Xing'er. Her whole face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum bun, and she quickly took out a piece of jujube paste cake from her pocket and ate it to subdue the taste.
Su Qingluan smiled and said, "Why are you still carrying snacks with you?" In the past, this little girl always carried some beads or sachets with her, and she was very vain.
Tian Xing'er glared at Su Qingluan angrily, "Who am I doing this for? I was afraid you'd faint from hunger, so I secretly brought you some!" She stared fiercely at the rehydration water and said, "It seems I was worrying too much!"
Su Qingluan smiled and took her hand to stroke her hair: "Ah, our Xing'er is so cute that you can think so much about us. Your kindness makes me feel sweeter than eating the date cake."
Tian Xing'er felt the warmth of someone gently holding her hand, and looked at the girl opposite her who was dressed in a gorgeous dress with a deep and affectionate look on her face, and said words of gratitude to her. The sunlight outside the window shone into her eyes, reflecting tiny ripples of light, making her eyes look particularly sparkling, which made Tian Xing'er, who was also a woman, blush and her heart beat fast.
In an instant, the complaints that she had originally wanted to say were unable to be opened. She stammered for a long time, and her face turned red.
Zhaodi opened her almond-shaped eyes wide and looked at Tian Xing'er with some curiosity. She seemed a little annoyed the moment before, but became very well-behaved and even a little shy the next moment.
Liu Yunniang placed her hand on Zhaodi's shoulder and shook her head, "Qingluan, Qingluan, it's a good thing you're not a man. Otherwise, with such a sweet mouth like yours, wouldn't all the young girls and wives in the village be completely bewitched by you?"
After hearing this, Tian Xing'er quickly broke free from Su Qingluan and snorted at Liu Yunniang, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Although it was a complaint, it was obvious that she lacked confidence.
Su Qingluan shrugged to show that she was innocent - after all, Tian Xing'er was so cute that she looked furious but still didn't forget to bring snacks for her.
With the company of a few friends, the waiting time will not be too boring.
What's more, they are all young girls and not too old-fashioned, so Su Qingluan doesn't have to sit straight and stiff like she did when everyone was here just now. She can get up and walk around occasionally to exercise her body.
As the sun set outside, the auspicious time for the wedding was approaching. The jewelry and head ornaments that had been placed on the table were gradually added to Su Qingluan's hair. Su Qingluan felt her neck gradually stiffen.
Then, the sound of the wedding band came from outside.
In fact, there was originally a segment of "robbing the bride", but considering that the groom's legs were unchanged, if the original custom of "beating the son-in-law" was followed, Mu Xingzhi would probably only be beaten on the spot without any ability to fight back.
As for those "literary fighting" dramas - just kidding, in the whole Huaxi Village, there are not many people who can recognize big characters. Even Su Xuanhe, a half-grown child who only attended school for two years, is considered a "highly educated person". What's the point of literary fighting?
But the urging poem to go to bed still had to be recited. Su Qingluan, an outsider, had never heard of this new thing called a urging poem to go to bed. After listening to the discussions of the bridesmaids and "perfect ladies" who had experienced many weddings around them, she knew that the urging poem prepared by Mu Xingzhi was something none of them had ever heard of before. It was obvious that he had not copied it or had someone else write it for him, but had written it himself.
Then everyone gathered around Su Qingluan again, sighing that Mu Xingzhi really cared about her.
Su Qingluan nodded in her heart: Mu Xingzhi had said before that as a "partner" to conceal her identity, Su Qingluan was indeed very important in a sense. After all, it was very rare to find someone who could be completely trusted without arousing suspicion.
In this sense, the groom really values the bride, and there is nothing wrong with that.
