While Beijing was blanketed in heavy snow, City S remained completely unaffected.
This is probably the difference between southern and northern cities.
Chu Yuan arrived in Beijing two days before her wedding. The nights were dry and cold, but thankfully the hotel was quite high-end and she slept well. Otherwise, what if she looked haggard on her wedding day?
Chu Yuan knew that Shen Xizhou's aunt, Lin Hanshuang, was very rich, but she never expected her to be so bold as to give a whole box of Mao Zedong's money as a gift!
A large pink gift box, with stacks of neatly arranged RMB banknotes, was carried up by Lin Hanshuang's burly bodyguard.
The box was adorned with ribbons and bows, a touch of pampering and romance that left Chu Yuan feeling flattered and overwhelmed.
Lin Hanshuang opened the box, stood to the side, raised her chin to Shen Xizhou, and smiled with her red lips, "How is it? Does my gift suit your taste?"
I don't know what your little wife likes.
You know how I am, I hate having to worry about things, so this way everyone can have peace of mind.
Go buy whatever you want later.
Oh right, have you booked your honeymoon yet? How about I book you a luxury European tour as well?
Chu Yuan, “!”
This is what true wealth and power look like!
Although she is quite wealthy herself, she can never quite live a life of extravagance.
Everyone is still at the hotel; the wedding hasn't officially started yet.
However, most of Shen's relatives and friends were very curious about Chu Yuan, and since it wouldn't be appropriate to give a gift at the wedding, they decided to go to the hotel together to see the bride first.
Therefore, Chu Yuan received so many gifts that she was almost overwhelmed.
The piece of jewelry that Shen Xizhou's mother gave him was a set of emerald jewelry, which he would wear at the wedding later.
His father gifted him a Porsche Ice Pink women's sports car, with a price tag of over 1 million RMB.
Adding to Lin Hanshuang's gift of 5.2 million, Chu Yuan felt like she wasn't getting married, but rather being "deceived into marriage."
Other relatives, even the least generous ones, gave gifts like gold earrings. There were several boxes in the room specifically for storing gifts, with one box filled with red envelopes of all sizes and another with boxes of all sizes, not to mention countless clothes, shoes, and bags prepared in advance.
Even Snow White and the prince's marriage couldn't be more perfect!
Finally, the auspicious time was approaching. Shen Xizhou bowed extremely gentlemanly, his handsome face full of smiles, and reached out to Chu Yuan, "Let's go, my little princess."
Chu Yuan lifted her skirt and stood up. Her pure white strapless off-shoulder wedding dress, adorned with a headdress, necklace, earrings, and bracelet, all in a refreshing emerald green, made her look like a little princess from an ancient forest who had just stepped into the human world—beautiful, dazzling, and otherworldly.
The direct and collateral branches of the Shen family were completely amazed, and looking around, all the guests had the same "I see" expression.
They even said that the academic genius young master of the Shen family, who had long declared that he would never marry or have children, was suddenly getting married. Apparently, he had found a fairy.
With such looks and such a temperament, even if her family background is average, it's hard to lose points!
The key is to win over Shen Xizhou and make him willingly wear the wedding ring.
Many wealthy women, like Ms. Lin, who were also troubled by their sons' marriages, couldn't help but gather around her and quietly inquire, "Where did you find your daughter-in-law? Do you have any others? Can you help my rascal find one too?"
Although these flattering words contained some exaggeration due to Lin Ruixue's status as the wife of the Special Commissioner, they still sounded quite pleasant to the ear.
Who doesn't want their family's wedding to be lively and joyous?
As a result, Ms. Lin's lips never left her mouth the entire time.
Once outdoors, a red carpet stretched directly from where the cars got out to the wedding stage, with champagne-colored roses blooming all around like a pink sea of flowers.
White chairs and stools were placed in the very center of the pink and green color scheme, with sheer curtains hanging to the ground, creating a beautiful scene.
Next is the solemn and quiet church. Chu Yuan and Shen Xizhou will first go into the church to take their oaths, and then they will come outside to chat with everyone, toast, and eat.
Lin Hanshuang personally selected a chef from a Michelin-starred restaurant; his Western-style pastries are exceptionally delicious.
Entering the church inevitably involves the father seeing the bride off.
Shen Xizhou had brought Jiang's parents over in advance. In fact, they didn't want to come, but Shen Xizhou didn't want Chu Yuan to miss this solemn moment, so he agreed to pay Jiang's mother a dowry of 100,000 yuan, as an appearance fee for the couple.
In addition, wedding candies were widely distributed in Jiangjia Village, with peanuts, melon seeds, longans, and dates being given away for free, so that everyone would know that Chu Yuan had married him.
Chu Yuan couldn't quite explain what her psychology was.
After receiving a large sum of money, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were quite cooperative.
As the hall bells rang and Qin Zhengming played the wedding march, Jiang's father, following the rehearsed plan, strode forward with his back straight, supported by Chu Yuan. Two little flower girls led Chu Yuan towards Shen Xizhou and the priest, scattering pink petals along the way.
She moved slowly with graceful steps, her skirt spreading out from her waist like ripples on water, a beauty that was breathtaking.
Shen Xizhou's eyes were like stars, as if there was no one else but her. Her parents sat on either side of her. Ms. Lin held Shen Jianzhong's arm, her smile tinged with tears, deeply moved.
Father Jiang had never experienced anything like this before, and now he was strangely blushing.
Jiang's mother looked a little unnatural, but everyone's attention was on the newcomers, so they didn't notice her.
Shen Xizhou: "I, shenxizhou, take you jiangyuan, in the presence of God, take you to be my wife; to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, so long as we both shall live. All this I vow and promise."
(I, Shen Xizhou, swear before God that Jiang Yuan shall be my wife, and from this day forward, we shall possess each other, support each other, and love and cherish each other in good times and bad, in wealth and poverty, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.)
Chu Yuan didn't want to recite that long oath, so as soon as Shen Xizhou finished speaking, she pounced on him and said three words:
I love you~
****
This dimension is almost over.
I'm racking my brains every day trying to figure out how to write the next story—a two-faced prince, a sunny boy and a bloodthirsty paranoiac.
