Chapter 68 At the Wedding
Qin You looked at the table full of dishes and the three people sitting around him, Li Zheng, Gu Chengze and Bao Ge'er, and felt as if he had returned to the past, when his mother and father were still alive, as if the days of joy and laughter were still there.
"Hey, Qin You, don't you want to eat?" Gu Chengze's voice brought Qin You back to reality. Looking at Gu Chengze in front of him, he regained his usual playful smile and said, "Oh, I won't leave until I'm drunk tonight. If I get drunk, I won't leave today."
Bao Ge'er was happy, "Okay, Brother Qin will sleep with me today."
"Okay, okay." He didn't expect that Qin You was quite popular among children. However, in the end, Bao Ge'er's wish did not come true. Qin You was already carried back home.
The next morning, the first day of the new year, Baoger opened his eyes and immediately reached under his pillow. Sure enough, he felt a red envelope and put it excitedly in his money box. This was his first private money. He was seven years old this year and could have his own private money.
It was time to visit relatives on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Their family didn't have many relatives to visit, so they paid homage to their distant parents on this day. After the second day of the Lunar New Year, they became busy. They had to take out red cloth to decorate the house, put up cut wedding characters, send out invitations, prepare the banquet for the guests, and work overtime to make wedding clothes for Li Zheng and the others.
Finally, with the help of Mrs. Wang, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Li Zheng sat in the room, listening to Mrs. Cheng muttering beside her, "Go out of the mansion tomorrow, take a walk outside and come back. When you come back, just do what you learned before. Don't worry about other things. We will make good arrangements for you tomorrow, and you can just be your bride." Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Wan both had children at home and could not spare the time to come over at night, so they sent Mrs. Cheng over.
Li Zheng was curious. They should have finished talking, so why didn't they leave? And seeing Mrs. Cheng's expression, she seemed a little embarrassed. Suddenly, an idea came to her. She stretched out her hands and said, "Give it to me."
Li Zheng's words flustered Madam Cheng, and she looked evasive. "W-what?" Li Zheng found it a little amusing. Madam Cheng was usually the most daring, but she didn't expect her to be shy at a time like this. "Isn't it just something we'll watch the night before the wedding?"
"Ahem." Madam Cheng took out a book from her sleeve, hiding it. She had originally thought that the three of them would come together to read the book, but she ended up being the only one left. Li Zheng took the book and was about to open it, but Madam Cheng stopped her immediately, "Oh, this is not for reading now, wait until tonight."
"In short, just listen to what Gu says. Okay, I won't stay any longer, you should get some rest too, you have to get up early tomorrow!" After saying that, she hurried away, fearing that Li Zheng would ask her some questions that she couldn't answer. Li Zheng saw that it was the same, and quickly told A Yue to go and see her off. Seeing that there was no one in the room, she picked up the ancient legendary fire avoidance map. She didn't know what it was, and she was shocked when she saw it. The person looked too weird, and was this posture a human could do? She flipped through it a few times and threw it into the box without paying any more attention to it.
Lying in bed, as soon as she closed her eyes, she could think of every little detail of her time with Gu Chengze. She even imagined that if they were not suitable for each other, if their relationship was not good, he would bring back another woman, and she would be heartbroken. Or, if she had a child, but he cheated on her, and she would divorce him and leave with the child, and so on and so forth.
Li Zheng sat up, poured a glass of cold water and drank it, instantly sobering up a lot. She thought, this can't be allowed, I should just go to sleep, he treats me very well.
"Miss, Miss, it's time to get up." Li Zheng sat up with two pairs of dark circles under her eyes. She couldn't sleep at all. She woke up not long after closing her eyes. She glanced at the sky outside and saw that it was still dark. She complained, "Ayue, isn't it still dawn?" It was no wonder that she was up before going to bed so early.
"Miss, it's getting late. You still have to put on makeup and wear your wedding dress later. It's a lot to do!" Seeing that the young lady looked sleepy, he thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you close your eyes and take a nap when the bridesmaid comes to put on makeup later?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
"Miss, rinse your mouth first." A Yue brought a cup of tea and passed it to her mouth. Li Zheng rinsed her mouth while thinking that this corrupt life was really comfortable. At this time, Xiao Zi also came over with a plate, put the plate on the table, and said to Li Zheng: "Miss, have some wontons later. Fill your stomach first, because you won't be able to eat when the bride comes later." Li Zheng saw that the wontons were only the size of a thumb, and knew that this maid was also attentive. "Okay, let's try your cooking skills today. By the way, where is Bao Ge'er?"
"The young master went to bed late last night and hasn't gotten up yet! Du Hai is watching him." Last night, he was muttering that he must pick the most difficult questions and not let him in. Li Zheng understood immediately. Bao Ge'er had been muttering about collecting questions for the past few days.
"Well, there are a lot of people at home today, so you should all look after them more."
"Yes, miss."
When the bridesmaid arrived, Madam Cheng, Madam Yang, and Madam Wang all arrived one after another, watching the bridesmaid put makeup on her. "Ah," Li Zheng couldn't help but scream out. This face pinching was too painful. "Ouch, Zheng, you have to bear with it. When I got married, the bridesmaid pinched my face and I almost kicked her away." The bridesmaid trembled a little as she listened. Was this referring to her?
Madam Yang heard that what she said was not proper, so she stopped her and said, "Alright, A Zheng, this is the wedding process, just go through it."
"Okay." After she finished scrubbing her face, she felt it burning, but she endured it because she was getting married today. But then she saw the makeup the bridesmaid had put on her. It looked like a monkey's butt. Was it bridal makeup? She couldn't stand it, so she asked Ayue to get a basin of water to wash it off.
The bridesmaid saw that this was not acceptable and said, "Miss, this is not acceptable. It is not reasonable."
"It's okay. I just asked the bridesmaid to put on makeup. You just need to help me with the last step. It will be considered as yours. Besides, does this face with a monkey's butt look good?" She really couldn't bear to get married with a pale face and a red cheek.
Isn't this how everyone goes through life? But it's not easy to say it like that. "But this..." Mrs. Cheng couldn't bear to see it. "Yes, just draw the last step. I was like this when I got married, but it didn't make me look ugly. Who would do this if they could be prettier? It's okay, A Zheng, you draw it."
"Yes, wait until A Zheng finishes her class. You can touch up the painting later. It will be your own work. Come on, Xiao Zi, help the bride to have a good rest."
