Chapter 676: He Who Loves His Wife Prospers
On the eve of the wedding, Su Man was extremely nervous and anxious.
Although she has been married twice, she still feels like this is her first marriage.
you do not say?
There was no wedding ceremony before, we just got the certificate directly.
The first time was an exchange of interests with Xiao Beisheng.
The second time was to escape Xiao Beisheng and put on a show with Qiao Shiyan.
And this time, she actually wanted to go through the entire process.
It's not just a matter between her and Xiao Beisheng, but both sides' parents and relatives are also involved.
Su Man originally planned to skip the marriage proposal ceremony, but Madam Xiao firmly disagreed. "Since ancient times, marrying a wife requires three matchmakers and six betrothals, and the bride must be brought into the family in a sedan chair carried by eight people. How can the rules of our ancestors be abolished? These rules cannot be omitted. If we don't follow the rules, who will know that Su Man is the daughter-in-law of our Xiao family who was married off in a formal ceremony? Naturally, I don't want to let Su Man down."
Just like that, on the day of the proposal, a row of luxury cars parked outside the gate of Man Garden.
Su Changhai and Bai Lan welcomed Madam Xiao into the house. Behind them was a long line of people delivering betrothal gifts. It seemed that only the head of this long dragon could be seen, but the tail was not. The waiters were carrying red boxes and red gift boxes, and they entered Man Garden in an endless stream.
"Fortunately, we inquired about Madam Xiao's intentions in advance, and we also prepared a lot of dowry for Manman early on, otherwise Manman would be so embarrassed. My daughter can't lose to others." Su Changhai whispered to Bai Lan.
Bai Lan glanced at him sideways, warning him with his eyes not to talk nonsense in front of his in-laws.
Su Man was wearing a new Chinese-style cheongsam with a nipped waist and lotus pink today. The refreshing light pink color matched her fair skin very well, and the slim cut made her look even more graceful. Standing by the lotus pond, she looked like a goddess in charge of the lotus flowers in the pond.
These days Xiao Beisheng was busy preparing the betrothal gifts and hadn't seen Su Man for several days. Now when he saw Su Man, his heart still felt like it was pounding.
I couldn't help but quicken my pace and come to her side.
He seemed to be very interested in her pearl earrings. He raised his hand to adjust them, then rubbed her earlobe. He leaned over and whispered seductively in her ear: "Come stay at my place tonight."
Suman glared at him.
On a day like today, with all the elders here, he's still acting unruly.
He curled the corners of his mouth, held her hand tightly, and kissed the back of her hand.
Madam Xiao wanted to do things in a grand manner, so she brought in the betrothal gifts and asked Aunt Mei to read them out loudly:
"Hardware—a gold Lily Ruyi ring, a gold Lucky Cloud pendant, a pair of gold Moon Laurel earrings, and a pair each of a Magpie on a Plum Blossom and Double Happiness Phoenix bracelets..."
On the red silk in the box, there are pieces of pure gold jewelry that gleam with golden light.
Just by looking at its heavy weight, you can tell that it weighs a lot.
Su Changhai and Bai Lan remained calm.
They can still afford this little bit.
"Gift money—a black card with no credit limit, a trust fund of 1.88 billion, a set of emerald jewelry inherited from the family, and 18 boxes of handcrafted pure gold coins for peace, good fortune, and blessings..."
"In addition, I'll give you a half-mountain villa at Helong Villa, a view house on Qingyu Island, and eight properties in downtown Haicheng..."
Su Changhai's face began to turn a little blue, and Bai Lan's brows also frowned slightly.
Aunt Mei continued.
After finally reading out the six-meter-long betrothal gift list, Madam Xiao smiled and lifted Su Man's hand, asking her, "Su Man, you don't think these things grandma gave you are too little, do you? The length and width of this gift list are carefully considered. Six meters, six is auspicious, and it is auspicious."
"Of course not. Grandma cares about me very much. I feel very happy to have her blessing."
"Good, good boy."
Su Changhai seriously felt that Old Madam Xiao was being Versailles.
What the old lady meant was that if there wasn't a six-meter limit, she could add more.
He coughed twice, not wanting to show weakness: "Ahem! We gave Manman quite a bit of dowry, let's order some..."
"Are you going to stand like this forever?" Su Man had a headache. Was this an engagement or a financial competition?
Bai Lan was very polite: "I asked Ye Ling to prepare some refreshments in advance. Let's go in and have some tea together."
The elders from both sides sat down to discuss matters. There was no objection to the betrothal gift, and the next step was to discuss the wedding process.
The old lady believed in supernatural powers and planned to invite a fortune teller from Hong Kong to help her calculate an auspicious date for the wedding.
After setting the date, the next step is to determine the location, ceremony, wedding banquet format, and both families will draft the guest list for the invitation.
"As for the rituals, it depends on what they like. As for the rest, our two families will cooperate with each other and clearly divide the work to ensure that we get twice the result with half the effort."
Xiao Tian was originally listening along, but began to lose focus as she listened.
"Why is getting married so difficult? It makes me not want to get married anymore." She muttered softly.
After hearing this, Madam Xiao said to Su Man, "You can go out with Tiantian too. Leave these trivial matters to our elders. If all else fails, there's Beisheng. Tell him what kind of wedding ceremony you want and let him take care of the worries. You just need to be a beautiful bride."
Xiao Tian jumped up from her seat as if she had been pardoned, and went over to hold Su Man's hand, "Sister-in-law, let's go!"
Madam Xiao glared at her: "If you don't want to learn these things, then get married early while I'm still strong and can help you manage things! Otherwise, you can learn it yourself."
"Then I don't want to learn it at all. I hope my grandma is healthy and lives a hundred years!" Xiao Tian looked playful.
He made a face at the old lady and quickly slipped away from the back garden with Su Man.
Madam Xiao was helpless: "I just hope that Tiantian can find a husband like her cousin, who doesn't need her to worry about anything. Otherwise, I really don't know how to be at ease with her childish temper."
Xiao Beisheng listened from the side and glanced at Gao Xun who was waiting outside.
Gao Xun didn't know what he was thinking and looked a little dazed.
…
The days of wedding preparation passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day.
Early in the morning, Suman sat in front of the makeup mirror and put on her dressing gown makeup.
While she was doing her makeup for the makeup artist, she complained to Xiao Tian next to her:
"You don't know, my most exaggerated day was when I changed my makeup and hairstyle eight times just for one dress. I sat in a chair for over ten hours before I finally reached a win-win situation that satisfied the venue planner, stylist, photographer, and myself."
During this period, Su Man did not need to worry about the trivial procedures, but she was very busy just taking wedding photos, trying on wedding dresses, choosing makeup, and changing makeup.
"My cousin is even more exaggerated. He called an emergency meeting and actually asked his employees to make a wedding plan for him. Now the whole company is secretly saying that he is the love-brained man of the century. He was very proud when he heard it, and his personality in the company has changed. I'm really afraid that if he continues like this, he will lose his dignity in front of his employees. However, his personality as a loving wife has created a good public image for the company. The company's stock has been rising in the past few months." Xiao Tian said.
The makeup artist and hairstylist laughed together:
"This is called loving my wife and making it big!"
