Of course, He Ruixue did not show off her wealth like a fool, and she collected food coupons from everyone.
When someone wanted to default on their debt, she would cry poor and say that the food for the dinner was borrowed from others and would be paid back slowly in the future.
Everyone understands this. After all, how much food can a family store these days? No matter how high the salary is, people have to live off the food they are supplied with.
Otherwise, you can only spend money to buy expensive grain, but that would be a huge loss, and you would just be wasting your money. No one would do that unless they have no other choice.
To thank the neighbors who came to help, He Ruixue distributed the leftovers.
In fact, everyone at the banquet was scrambling to eat, and if they couldn’t finish it, they would just take the bowl back home.
The so-called leftovers are just the excess food in the kitchen, which are all clean.
He Ruixue sent a lot to her eldest brother, his wife and third brother's homes, and gave the rest to each of her neighbors, a bowl full of meat.
They were all very happy and praised her generosity. They all felt that her decision to stay and help was the right one.
After finishing everything, the sun had already set in the west and the sky was filled with sunset glow.
The courtyard gate was locked, and the relatives tacitly agreed not to come and disturb them.
Jiang Yanxu changed into a red robe with black stripes. There were large embroidery on the cuffs and collar, and the small braid at the back was tied with a headband of the same color.
His clothes were very fine, with faint golden cloud patterns floating on the satin.
Red is a very challenging color. It complements beauty, is clean but not gaudy, clear but not gaudy, and is far less dazzling than the lights.
In a Taoist wedding, the other half should be of similar ideals, and the wedding gown for women should also be worn to match.
But He Ruixue has no faith, and Jiang Yanxu is not a person who follows the rules, and they never impose their preferences on their partner.
So at this time she was wearing a full set of phoenix crown and bridal robe, which fulfilled her little fantasy of a Chinese wedding in her previous life.
The golden crown with pearl buttons and silver bracelets creates a fragrant breeze and jingles the bracelets when walking.
He stretched out his hands and saw two pairs of bracelets on his wrists, one pair of gold and one pair of jade, symbolizing a perfect match.
He Ruixue took cautious steps, moving forward little by little.
How could one not be cautious? This thing was the last work of a famous embroidery master, and it had been kept in the bottom of a box at his daughter's house. She spent a lot of money to get it back.
There are also the phoenix crown, phoenix hairpin, and gold hairpin on her head, the shawl, shawl pendant, and fishing ring on her body.
A small part of them were made by someone she had melted down her gold bars, and most of them were recycled antiques. Each piece was so exquisite that it was dazzling. She would be heartbroken if she broke one.
Even if Jiang Yanxu wanted to touch her sleeve, she would not let him, and instead took the initiative to pull his hand.
You can shape your claws however you want, but you can’t make wrinkles on clothes.
Taoist weddings are actually quite complicated. The preliminary preparations alone involve various rituals such as "Buxuyun, Jutianzun, Diaoguayun, Gaogong Shuowen, Yaotanyun, and Xiaodanghui".
Its function is to clear away evil spirits and pray for good luck.
Jiang Yanxu worked alone for a long time. He Ruixue didn't understand, but expressed her respect.
The next step was to invite the gods, which was to be done in the Taoist temple, but considering the practical situation, they only arranged small wooden statues and portraits in the house.
Holding three incense sticks, one first worships heaven and earth to thank them for witnessing the alliance, then worships the ancestors to thank them for their blessings and protection.
In fact, after worshiping the gods, one should invite a high-level master to come and "welcome the truth and invite the saints." Jiang Yanxu also came by himself.
According to him, it was actually a message to heaven, indicating that the believers were getting married today and asking them to help with the registration.
To He Ruixue, what she said sounded a bit like a work email sent in the future, which was filed away by the relevant personnel as a voucher.
As expected of a local religion, everything has to go through procedures, and even when you get to heaven you still have to work.
After that, the groom is crowned and the bride is given a hairpin, and they help each other.
All procedures are simplified as much as possible, and finally we worship in front of the gods and pay our respects to heaven and earth.
Jiang Yanxu recited the vows on the marriage certificate with a solemn expression.
For Taoists, having the witness of their ancestors may be more effective than any oath.
In this way, this private wedding was completed.
In ancient times, weddings were held at dusk. By the time the ceremony was over, it was already pitch dark outside, which was just the right time to walk to the bridal chamber.
After drinking the wedding wine, the two looked at each other, both quite nervous.
He Ruixue may be better than him. After all, they live in later generations and are all experts in theory.
No one taught me how to write Jiang Yanxu, so I could only look for some obscure ancient editions of short stories with color.
He removed all the accessories from the two people and placed them neatly aside.
When he untied her belt, his hands were shaking slightly. He Ruixue was feeling quite uncomfortable.
Seeing his performance, I suddenly calmed down, took the initiative to hug him and started kissing him, but the force was too strong and his face was covered with saliva.
After stumbling a lot, the two novices finally got on the road smoothly. When they were getting better, the system suddenly appeared to show its presence.
[During the event, you coaxed a high-quality man to spend the rest of your life with you. Special critical hit, and obtained two [Sharing Weal and Woe] cards. Congratulations to the host on your wedding.]
System, you will feel uncomfortable if you don’t play tricks on me, right?
Can you please pay attention to the occasion when speaking? And how can she be coaxing?
Of course, the grave of marriage should be buried together by two people, and it is fair to compact and fill each other's soil.
Jiang Yanxu noticed that she was distracted, and unwillingly nudged her collarbone and bit her chin.
…
In the end, all that remained in He Ruixue's memory was the red tent roof, embroidered with a pattern of entwined mandarin ducks and surrounded by clusters of blooming rose-red lotus flowers.
When she opened her eyes the next day, He Ruixue felt that half of her arm was numb.
