The wedding of two children should be as lively as possible.
Only Li Xiujun didn't think so. After all, it was an arranged marriage. If it became too popular and they divorced, they would be criticized by others and would cause trouble in vain.
"Just invite a few close friends and family and have a simple banquet. It doesn't need to be too big."
The bride was arranged in a forceful manner, and Old Master Li could only curse in his heart that after his granddaughter got married, people would use the excuse that she got married but her husband's family had such a small banquet to poke her in the back.
The family has the means to host a few more tables. If that doesn't work, he can even use his pension to cover the cost.
Although I don’t plan to invite too many people, I can’t be too vague about the dishes.
One of the two old men helped to look after the banquet decorations, while the other quickly set off to the hotel to taste the dishes first.
Gu Qingming was also busy asking people to speed up the work on the wedding dress and diamond ring. As a result, after the wedding, it was Li Xiujun who had the most free time.
Since I couldn't find anyone around, I just went back and forth between the library and the hospital every day. When I had nothing to do, I would clean up the ornaments I had picked up at the antique market.
Life is quite comfortable.
The wedding banquet was scheduled for five days later, which happened to be a weekend to avoid any timing problems.
It was only 4:30 when Li Xiujun was pulled out of bed by the makeup artist. She opened her eyes in a daze and looked at herself in the mirror with a messy hair. It was a horrible sight.
She simply closed her eyes again and let them do whatever they wanted.
Fortunately, she has good skin, otherwise the stylist at the time would not have simply added a few strokes to her face.
Most of the time is spent on Chinese-style clothing and complicated hairstyles.
Li Xiujun couldn't remember how many times she'd heard the makeup artist's apology for accidentally pulling her hair. The burning sting on her scalp made her feel like a scalded rooster at the mercy of someone, about to have its hair shaved.
But the other person's attitude was too sincere, so she could only keep smiling and comfort him: "It's okay, it's okay."
The wedding dresses were chosen by the two old men. They agreed that the fancy white wedding dresses available outside could not compare to the red wedding dresses passed down by their ancestors.
Dozens of embroiderers were hired to work overtime, and the dress was finally completed on the eve of the wedding.
Even so, we have tried our best to choose the best red silk and patterns in terms of material selection and style design.
As for the gold and silver jewelry, there is no need to mention it. Mr. Gu directly took out a gold bracelet inlaid with agate from his late wife's jewelry box.
The eight-piece set was purchased at a high price in the market overnight.
The eight-piece set was fine, I could just return it to Uncle San when we divorced. But this gold bracelet was said to have been passed down through generations of the Gu family's mistress.
The degree of significance is different.
Li Xiujun wanted to find an excuse to return the gold bracelet to Mr. Gu, but Gu Qingming persuaded her to keep it.
She said that the old man meant well and that if she refused, grandpa would think she looked down on the Gu family, so she put it in her pocket without knowing what was going on.
The phoenix crown and those small pieces of jewelry were now placed on the table.
Facing the gentle sunlight shining in from the window, it sparkles with dazzling brilliance, as if silently telling its beauty and dignity.
Although this wedding was hasty, it was a thousand times more thoughtful than the wedding that Gu Ming and I had with us, which was a hastily found church and a casually rented wedding dress.
The dress was beautiful, but it was too troublesome to put on. It took several makeup artists to help her put this complicated outfit on.
Not to mention the headdresses, putting them all on made Li Xiujun's neck very sore.
Just as she was about to secretly take out a few hairpins, the makeup artist slapped her hand and said, "Don't move! It won't look good if you twist it!"
Looking in the mirror, I realized that beauty does come at a price. Even though it feels like a ten-pound brick on my head, it's not entirely without benefits.
Her long hair, once loose, now became smooth and straight. A strand of bangs was tied up, revealing her full and smooth forehead, and her delicate and three-dimensional facial features were modified to appear more profound.
Combined with the color of the dress, her whole aura suddenly became more impressive, and she looked just like a noble lady in a TV drama, making her wonder if she had changed her face.
The makeup artist stared at the person in the mirror with satisfaction, and kept praising her, "I guarantee that the groom won't be able to take his eyes off her when he sees her today."
It was obvious that the two had agreed to get married, perhaps because of what the other party said, or perhaps because the atmosphere was created just right.
Li Xiujun lowered her eyes and inexplicably began to look forward to what her uncle would see.
I have to say, the time for dressing up flew by and it was already eleven o'clock.
For fear of any accidents, she was only allowed to stuff a few bites of fruit into her mouth.
Li Xiujun had not eaten a single grain of rice from morning to night and was forced to carry such a heavy phoenix crown on her head. She was dragged to the living room to toast and serve tea to the two old men.
As the eldest brother and sister-in-law, Gu Yuanzhi and Zhou Juan naturally had to wait by the side.
The former sighed as he watched the girl he liked marry his younger brother, while the latter thought that marrying into the Gu family was a loss of status.
She didn't dare to complain in front of Mr. Gu, so she could only reluctantly take the teacup and stuff a red envelope into it.
The amount of money stuffed in it was also useless, which made Old Man Gu glare at the two of them and said: "What's wrong with you, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, you have made less than the amount of money covered by someone's fingernail."
They had no choice but to put a few more bracelets in it.
Li Xiujun was unaware of the undercurrents in it. She felt the thickness in her hand and smiled happily.
There are no other benefits to marrying into a wealthy family, except that the gift money is plenty.
Later in the evening, she would have to collect all the money and hand it over to her third uncle, but that did not hinder her satisfaction at the moment. After all, who could refuse red bills?
Both of them have cold personalities and rarely have particularly close friends.
Not to mention Gu Qingming, one of them was even driven to Africa, where he looked at the mine pitifully.
When Jian Guochao received the call, he scolded him for not being a good friend, but he was still very honest and sent him a high-quality diamond, saying that he would definitely treat him to a big meal when he returned.
After finally greeting the guests, Gu Qingming's face was flushed from being drunk. When he took a shower and returned to the room, his body was still damp from the drunkenness.
The room was specially decorated by Mr. Gu, and big red "囍" characters can be seen posted everywhere.
Li Xiujun hugged the bed quilt and looked at him helplessly: "Uncle San, you sleep on the bed. I'll just sleep on the floor."
"No need." Gu Qingming sobered up instantly and reached out to grab the quilt: "You are a girl, it is easy to catch a cold sleeping on the floor, so I'll sleep on the floor."
I almost forgot that their relationship is not that of an ordinary couple.
