Chapter 42 Since we have to arrange marriage...
Since we are getting engaged, it’s time to prepare the house.
So the next day, Gu Ruyi went to Xiang Caier again to ask about the house.
It was the same familiar operation, but this time Gu Ruyi gave a milk powder ticket.
Xiang Caier, who had just given birth to a big fat boy, smiled so much when she saw the gift.
However, when Xiang Cai'er heard Gu Ruyi's request, she could no longer laugh.
"Sister, I'm not saying this, but your request is a bit too much. Nowadays, every family doesn't have enough houses to live in, so how can they sell their houses to others?"
"If there really was such an opportunity, I would have bought it long ago, and I wouldn't have to squeeze into a 30-square-meter house with six or seven people from my husband's family."
Gu Ruyi smiled: "I also know it's a little difficult, so I'm bothering you to help me pay attention."
Gu Ruyi was not in a hurry at all, because the ten-year movement would soon be over and many innocent people would be rehabilitated.
Those people were frightened by this movement, and after being rehabilitated, many of them chose to sell their assets and move abroad.
By that time, as long as you have money, you can buy any house.
As for her upcoming marriage, Gu Ruyi plans to continue living in the house she rents to get through this period.
This request was indeed not difficult, and Xiang Caier agreed immediately.
After separating from Xiang Caier, Gu Ruyi went to the nearest bookstore.
The purpose of going to the bookstore was simple, she planned to get a set of high school materials.
The college entrance examination is about to be resumed, and the quality of the first batch of college students is incomparable to countless subsequent batches.
The key is that you don’t have to work when you go to school.
Gu Ruyi doesn't like working at all, so she decided to go to this university.
After a ten-minute walk, Gu Ruyi successfully arrived at Xinhua Bookstore
As soon as I reached the door, the system started to ding again.
【bite! Spend 1 sign-in point and you can sign in at Xinhua Bookstore to get a complete set of primary school materials. 】
[You can sign in for a complete set of junior high school materials at Xinhua Bookstore by spending 5 sign-in points. 】
[Spend 10 sign-in points to sign in at Xinhua Bookstore and get a complete set of high school information. 】
Gu Ruyi: ...
This price increase is a bit outrageous.
A set of high school information is actually comparable to a technical inheritance. She wants to see why.
Gu Ruyi bought it without hesitation, and then she quickly went home.
After checking the information, Gu Ruyi was convinced.
As expected, products produced by the system must be high-quality.
This systematic set of high school information actually covers all subjects including Chinese, mathematics, Russian, English, physics, chemistry, etc.
Moreover, the answer to each question is easy to understand. Even people with poor basic knowledge can understand it after reading it several times.
It can be said that having this set of materials is equivalent to having a senior teacher teaching you step by step, so that going to college is no longer a dream for you.
Very satisfied, Gu Ruyi turned around and went back to the bank.
Although there is no news about the house for the time being, it is still necessary to prepare the money.
The little money she had was not enough to buy a good house. Gu Ruyi didn't want to go to the black market for the time being, so she could only rely on the system.
【bite! Sign in at the bank once and you will receive a ten-yuan note, a five-yuan note, and a one-yuan note. 】
Tsk, it’s only sixteen dollars in total.
Gu Ruyi was not very satisfied.
She signed in again and got the full set of notes.
Gu Ruyi: ...
Nowadays, the largest denomination of banknotes is ten yuan, and there are not many in a complete set.
Forget it, it seems that relying on the bank is a waste of check-in points, she should find another way!
Gu Ruyi went back home, but she never expected that there was still a surprise to come.
After returning home, Gu Ruyi took the money out of the system and prepared to put it together with her savings.
Even though this amount of money is not much, a mosquito leg is still meat!
But when Gu Ruyi took out the money, she found something wrong.
It turns out that the so-called complete set of banknotes in the system is not one set, but three editions of banknotes from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present.
This is nothing. The key point is that the three sets of banknotes signed in by the system are numbered "Qilin".
"Qilin", also known as "Tongtian", is an extremely rare collection.
The note features a digital serial number consisting of eight identical digits, for example 000000000 to 99999999.
Needless to say, this kind of continuous banknote number has great collection value.
And Gu Ruyi has three sets.
Make a lot of money.
The corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK, and Gu Ruyi quickly put the banknotes back into the system warehouse.
It was also because of these sets of RMB that Gu Ruyi remembered that there were many things of collectible value in this era.
One of them is stamps.
The most valuable monkey stamp has not yet been issued, but apart from the monkey stamp, there are many other valuable stamps.
For example, there are blue army stamps that can only be used by soldiers, and there are also red stamps, the first "substitute stamps" in my country.
In short, there are a lot of valuable things, so she must find a way to get a few sets.
With this thought in mind, Gu Ruyi fell asleep.
However, these stamps are not easy to get in this era. After all, there were relatively few of them when they were issued, and many years have passed, so even fewer can be preserved well.
Gu Ruyi was not in a hurry either. If I get it, it’s my fate. If I lose it, it’s my luck. If I get it, it’s a gain. If I don’t get it, it’s no loss.
————
Time flies, and the wedding day is here in the blink of an eye.
Most weddings in the 1970s were simple, but the Qi family was not an ordinary family after all, and if the wedding was too simple, outsiders would find it embarrassing.
At five in the morning, Gu Ruyi was pulled out of bed by the makeup team hired by the Qi family, and then they began to perm her hair, style her hair, and put on makeup.
To be honest, before this, Gu Ruyi had never thought that there would be a makeup team in the 1970s.
She is also a makeup artist who specializes in doing makeup for TV stars.
Sure enough, no matter what era it is, those with money and power can do whatever they want.
I just don’t know if the painting is good or not.
Gu Ruyi was worried. In fact, looking at her flawless face, the makeup artist also felt embarrassed.
The bride has a divine face, she looks even better than those with elaborate makeup. When putting makeup on her, the makeup artist is only worried that she will make her look ugly and ruin the bride.
But if nothing is done, then the money spent would be totally unworthy.
In the end, the makeup artist could only apply a little thin blush and a little light lipstick on Gu Ruyi to make her look better.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Ruyi changed into a red long pleated skirt with a waistline and then put on a red windbreaker.
Both pieces of clothing were made by Gu Ruyi herself, and they were embroidered with Suzhou embroidery.
That’s right, Suzhou embroidery.
This was her first marriage in two lives, so Gu Ruyi took it very seriously.
Then she came up with the idea of making a wedding dress herself.
The main reason is the wedding dresses of this era...Gu Ruyi doesn’t like them very much.
Then Gu Ruyi took action.
But originally she wanted to get a simpler piece, but she didn't expect that when she accompanied Qi Lian to order a suit, she would sign up for the Suzhou Embroidery Heritage.
Suzhou embroidery! It is a luxury item that has been passed down for more than two thousand years. With just a needle and some silk threads, lifelike patterns can be embroidered. Who wouldn't like it?
Anyway, Gu Ruyi couldn't refuse a Suzhou embroidery wedding dress, so during that period, she learned Suzhou embroidery in the system whenever she had the chance, day and night.
After much haste, Gu Ruyi finally made her favorite dress before her wedding.
Because of time constraints, Gu Ruyi only embroidered some of her favorite peonies on the chest and hem of her skirt.
The peony flower is graceful and elegant, and wearing one of them is absolutely perfect for a wedding.
The windbreaker was much simpler; Gu Ruyi only embroidered two lifelike swans on the chest.
Logically speaking, one should choose mandarin ducks when getting married. After all, there is a poem that goes, "I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the celestial beings."
However, in reality, although mandarin ducks are monogamous, they are temporary couples. Generally, they will separate after the mating season and the birth of cubs.
Swans, on the contrary, are monogamous for life. As long as they are together, they will never separate for the rest of their lives. If one swan encounters an accident, the other swan will "remain faithful" to it and live a lonely life for the rest of its life.
So after understanding this situation, Gu Ruyi embroidered a swan. Although it is hard to say what the future will be like, it is at least a good omen.
Of course, if given the chance, Gu Ruyi would actually prefer to wear a phoenix crown and bridal bridal gown.
However, it is not easy to make a high-quality phoenix coronet and bridal bridal gown. The production period can take as short as three months to half a year or as long as several years. She simply does not have enough time.
Another thing is that now is a special period. Ordinary people usually wear a red suit or military uniform when they get married. If she wears a phoenix coronet and bridal gown, it would attract too much attention.
The ten-year period is about to end, and at this final moment, try to keep a low profile.
After putting on her clothes, putting on her specially made red leather shoes, bunning her hair up, and putting on a fresh rose, Gu Ruyi's outfit for the day was complete.
The outfit is simple, but inexplicably eye-catching.
Xu Ruyu, who was the bridesmaid, couldn't help but circle around Gu Ruyi and asked, "Ruyi, where did you get your dress made? It's so beautiful."
"Especially the embroidered peonies and swans, they look like real ones."
When she puts it on, she looks like a rich lady from ancient times, elegant, dignified and noble.
Being praised for her craftsmanship, Gu Ruyi couldn't help but smile shyly, and said with a little pride: "I made it myself. If you like it, I will make one for you when you get married."
Xu Ruyu: "You really are talking about something irrelevant."
What's good about getting married? Not only do you have to work like a slave in someone else's home, but you also have to have children.
The key point is that she would be exhausted but still earn no money. It would be a pure loss-making business, so she would not do it.
Skipping this unlucky topic, Xu Ruyu gently touched the material of the clothes and said, "Since you made it yourself, I won't be polite with you. Ruyi, do you mind selling the style of your clothes to our factory? Your clothes will definitely be very popular after they are put on the market."
"Don't worry about the money. I will fight for the best benefits for you and won't let you suffer any loss."
Gu Ruyi: “…”
You think of money whenever you see something. You are just like that.
But this kind of temper is just what Gu Ruyi likes.
Who can not like a little cutie like Qianqian!
Anyway, Gu Ruyi can't.
Thinking this way, Gu Ruyi began to discuss with Xu Ruyu how much money the cotton mill could pay for the pattern, and what other styles she had.
Of course, embroidery has to be ruled out. After all, she is just one person. Even if she had ten pairs of hands, she couldn't embroider one piece a day, and mass production is totally impossible.
The two were talking excitedly, but the makeup artist and Wang Shengnan and others were dumbfounded.
No, who would discuss how to make money when getting married?
Shouldn't you be so embarrassed as to hide in your room and not come out?
“Crackle…”
Before we knew it, the bride-picking party arrived.
