Jiang Xiu laughed out loud: "You're about to get married and you still don't understand these things?"
Lin Xuanjiao shook her head: "I thought only my family members would come with you to send me off."
Jiang Xiu looked at the people in the courtyard and then at Lin Xuanjiao, her tone hesitant. "Strictly speaking, these people are also your relatives, related by blood."
Lin Xuanjiao was silent. It was only at this moment that she raised her wrist to check her watch to confirm the time.
Lin Xuanjiao's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the time: "It's already three o'clock?"
Because she was so surprised, Lin Xuanjiao looked up at the sky and asked a very stupid question: "Is it three o'clock in the morning, three o'clock in the afternoon, or three o'clock in the morning?"
Jiang Xiu was speechless after hearing Lin Xuanjiao's words. She rolled her eyes and said, "I'd like to ask, what's the difference between three o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the morning?"
Lin Xuanjiao covered her face with her hands and said weakly, "It's different from my brain."
Jiang Xiu laughed out loud, "Xuan Jiao, since you're awake, go clean up early! By the way, are you hungry? The food is still warming in the kitchen!"
Lin Xuanjiao touched her stomach. To be honest, she woke up this time only because she was hungry, otherwise she could continue sleeping.
Lin Xuanjiao turned to look at Jiang Xiu: "Xiu Xiu, you haven't slept all night!" It was already this late and Jiang Xiu was still so energetic, she must have not slept all night.
Jiang Xiu nodded and pointed at the group of people sitting in the courtyard: "Not only am I awake, these people are also awake. They are all busy preparing for your wedding!"
Lin Xuanjiao was a little confused: "What are you busy with?" She really didn't know that marriage could be so important that it made these people stay up all night. She didn't understand it at all.
Not only Lin Xuanjiao didn't understand, Jiang Xiu was also very confused: "I don't know either! They haven't stopped discussing it since they sat together."
Lin Xuanjiao was silent. Then she looked at Jiang Xiu and asked, "Then why didn't you sleep all night?"
Jiang Xiu put her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open: "This is the first time I'm sending a good friend off to get married. I'm so excited that I can't sleep."
Lin Xuanjiao yawned and patted Jiang Xiu on the shoulder: "You've worked hard. I'll do the same when you get married."
Jiang Xiu slapped Lin Xuanjiao's hand away with a shy look on her face: "It's too early for me to get married! I don't want to get married so early."
Lin Xuanjiao yawned again, her expression unchanged. "Then tell me when you're getting married."
Jiang Xiu pinched Lin Xuanjiao's face and said, "Of course I will tell you. Don't worry, your share of the red envelope will not go away."
Lin Xuanjiao thought about the red envelopes she had received in the past few days, her face very serious: "Xiu Xiu, I feel that the red envelopes I received in the past few days can keep me alive for a long time."
Jiang Xiu was not surprised at all. After all, it was the same ceremony when her sister got married, and she even helped her sister count the money for a long time.
When Jiang Xiu thought about the days when she used to count money, she felt her fingers trembling a little. That memory made her, a person who loved money, dislike money a little bit.
To avoid a repeat of the tragedy, Jiang Xiu quickly changed the subject: "Xuan Jiao, why don't you get ready? Comrade Song will be here to pick you up soon."
Lin Xuanjiao looked up at the pitch-black sky, and then thought about Jiang Xiu's words and suddenly felt speechless.
Looking at Jiang Xiu's sincere eyes, Lin Xuanjiao also asked sincerely: "Excuse me, my dear Xiuxiu, what should I prepare so early in the morning?"
Jiang Xiu looked at the time on her watch, her face showing no embarrassment at all. "It's almost four o'clock. Comrade Song will come to pick you up at dawn. Why don't you hurry and get ready now?"
Lin Xuanjiao was a little speechless. In this era, weddings were not allowed to be extravagant, and one had to dress conservatively. Moreover, there were no skin care products and cosmetics like those in later generations. What could she prepare for her wedding?
Jiang Xiu understood the meaning on Lin Xuanjiao's face and pushed her towards the house. "Don't take marriage for granted. I saw Brother Yuanxi bring a camera over. He's definitely going to take pictures of your wedding. Don't you want to dress up?"
Lin Xuanjiao was pushed into the house and asked, "Did you see my third brother holding a camera?"
Jiang Xiu pushed Lin Xuanjiao to sit in front of the dressing mirror and said, "Yeah! Brother Yuanxi showed off to us for quite a while when he came here! It's hard not to know."
Lin Xuanjiao sat on a wooden chair and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling very satisfied. Her face was very beautiful even without makeup. The dark circles that were previously annoying had disappeared a lot after a good night's sleep, leaving only faint traces. She would just need to put on some powder to cover them up later.
Jiang Xiu looked at Lin Xuanjiao's face closely, his eyes full of envy: "Xuanjiao, your face is so beautiful. I wish I could be as beautiful as you."
Lin Xuanjiao smiled softly. Being praised by her best friend made her feel even better. "You are also very beautiful. Everyone has their own unique style. As long as you think you are the most beautiful, then you are the most beautiful. Don't deny your appearance just because of other people's opinions."
Jiang Xiu chuckled: "I understand all of this! It's just that sometimes I envy you a little."
Lin Xuanjiao smiled and didn't continue speaking.
Jiang Xiu didn't continue the conversation. She looked at Lin Xuanjiao's pigtails with some confusion: "Xuanjiao, don't you take your pigtails off before sleeping?"
Lin Xuanjiao touched her pigtail and said, "I left it in place on purpose because it was my wedding hairstyle."
Jiang Xiu looked puzzled: "Does this have anything to do with your wedding hairstyle?"
Lin Xuanjiao has already started to remove her pigtails, thinking it's time to dress up. While there's no curling iron available, people always find a way! The curls she created with pigtails won't last long, but they'll last her until she's married.
Just as she finished untying her hair, Lin Xuanjiao suddenly remembered an important issue. She hadn't washed up since she woke up, and it was all because Jiang Xiu kept talking to her.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuanjiao gave Jiang Xiu a glare, which made Jiang Xiu feel confused.
Jiang Xiu thought back to what he had said before that had offended Lin Xuanjiao, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why: "No... I don't think I have offended you in any way, right?"
Lin Xuanjiao withdrew her gaze and stood up, which scared Jiang Xiu.
Seeing Jiang Xiu so frightened, Lin Xuanjiao burst out laughing. "I blame you for pulling me aside to chat when you saw me getting up, making me forget to even wash up. Are you really that timid? Is it really necessary to be so frightened?"
Jiang Xiu rolled his eyes at Lin Xuanjiao: "Can you blame me for this?"
