Chapter 25: Newly Married
The next morning, Zhao Xiaofei said to Jiang Xiaomei, "This afternoon, I'll transfer 30 million yuan to your card. I'll buy the house and recruit the people. Next time I come back, I think you'll be busy."
"Okay! I'll listen to you!" said Jiang Xiaomei.
"Also! Take good care of yourself when I'm not around. Buy whatever you need and don't be stingy with your money." Zhao Xiaofei said. Jiang Xiaomei said, "Enough!" and gave Zhao Xiaofei a gentle kiss before leaving.
Zhao Xiaofei sat on the bed, feeling like a complete jerk. He was busy marrying Li Sihong, and trying to coax Jiang Xiaomei into doing things for him, trying to get her to marry him. He was also going to marry the princess soon, and the days of having three wives and four concubines were getting closer and closer. He got a headache just thinking about the princess. He remembered that the man she married in history was called Zhou Xian, wasn't he? She eventually died of depression, and she was five months pregnant. Poor kid!
If he marries me, should I take her with me? Even if I take her away from the capital, her whole family will be wiped out. Can she still survive? I remember that she was only 17 years old when she died, just four years ago. Thinking about her appearance, she was quite cute, just like the daughter of Aunt Zuo who lives downstairs. If a girl like this suddenly encounters the death of her whole family, I guess few people can bear it. Oh no! Why think so much? Who cares! There will be a way out when the time comes!
Just as he was thinking this, his cell phone rang. It was from the agency. Zhao Xiaofei picked up the phone: "Hello! Who is this?"
"Mr. Zhao! Your house is now available. We had them move in overnight yesterday! Would you like to come over and take a look?"
"Okay! I'll be there in a minute!" After hanging up, Zhao Xiaofei drove to the location of Yanyulou. The store manager handed him the key. He opened the door and saw the floor in a mess. It was obvious that someone had left in a hurry.
"That's right! We'll go to the notary office later and get the power of attorney transfer notarized!" Zhao Xiaofei said. Because he didn't have time to go through the transfer procedures, Chongzhen was still waiting for him to come to the palace to express his gratitude!
"Okay!" said the store manager. That day, Zhao Xiaofei finished all his chores. He bought a cartload of goods and returned to Wanping City.
After traveling back in time, Zhao Xiaofei brought a cart of goods and hired a courier to return to the capital overnight. Zhao Xiaofei came to Li Sihong's house holding the wedding dress he bought for 800,000 yuan. Li Sihong was reading a book and saw Zhao Xiaofei walk in happily like a child holding a piece of clothing.
"Is this the wedding dress you wear in South Australia?" Li Sihong stared at it with wide eyes.
"Well! There is a phoenix embroidered with gold thread, and the eyes are made of jade. Look at this phoenix crown, it is gold-plated, doesn't it look good?" Zhao Xiaofei showed it to Li Sihong as if he was presenting a treasure.
Looking at Zhao Xiaofei's smiling face, Li Sihong hugged her dress and shed tears. Zhao Xiaofei saw that she was crying and asked, "Why are you crying?"
"I cried with joy. I never thought I could have such a wedding dress. But I can't wear it!" said Li Sihong.
"I gave it to you, why can't you wear it?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"If I wear this, it's against the regulations. I'll go to jail if I'm reported. I'll just put it away!" Li Sihong said as she was about to fold the clothes.
Zhao Xiaofei stopped her, held her hand and said, "No! You must wear it today! Because you are going to be my bride tonight, how can a bride not have a wedding dress?"
Li Sihong looked at Zhao Xiaofei, tears streaming down her face. Zhao Xiaofei said, "Are you women made of water? Why are you crying so much? Follow me from now on, and I don't want you to shed another tear. Even if you do, you have to wait until the day I die before you, and cry it over my grave."
Li Sihong quickly covered Zhao Xiaofei's mouth with her hands and said, "What nonsense! Why are you talking about life and death on such a happy day! If that day really comes, I will chase you." After that, she hugged Zhao Xiaofei and cried again.
At this time, Xiao Si said at the door: "Master! The things have been put into storage!"
"I got it! Ask your wife to prepare dinner! I'll call you later!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Yes!" Xiao Si agreed and left.
Zhao Xiaofei turned to Li Sihong and said, "Wipe your tears and change your clothes. Your husband will put on your makeup himself in a moment."
Li Sihong wiped away her tears, nodded, and went into the house to change her clothes. The wedding dresses of the Ming Dynasty were different from those of today. They didn't have as many buttons. Women in the Ming Dynasty wore a phoenix crown on their heads, a heavy and ornate crown with two phoenixes or 騷 (a type of phoenix) on top, each holding a string of pearls.
He was wearing a long-sleeved robe: a round-necked robe in bright red. The shoulders, sleeves, and knees were embroidered with various patterns, such as clouds, longevity mountains and seas, flowers, unicorns, lions, tigers, etc.
A diagonal cape is worn over the shoulders, and a leather belt is tied around the waist. The diagonal cape is made up of two colored ribbons, half on the front and half on the back. The cape is often embroidered with floral or cloud patterns, and a jade pendant or jade pendant hangs below. The belt is a leather belt of this grade.
Zhao Xiaofei's wedding dress can only be described in two words: tycoon! The dress itself is covered in phoenixes, shimmering in golden light. It's practically blinding Zhao Xiaofei's eyes. It's just that the people of the Ming Dynasty had never seen such a thing, so it felt fresh. The phoenix crown was even less embellished, but it still emphasized the tycoon's brilliance, glittering in gold!
Seeing she had changed, Zhao Xiaofei quickly pulled out his makeup kit and began applying Li Sihong's makeup, a technique he'd learned from watching Douyin (TikTok). First, he applied primer, blending it evenly. Then, he used concealer to correct any acne scars and redness. Third, he applied an appropriate amount of liquid foundation, patting it evenly with a damp, dry sponge. Fourth, he set the look with loose powder.
Next, apply eye makeup, starting with a light color that fills the eye sockets. Next, apply eyebrows. Using an eyebrow brush, dip the eyebrow powder in the powder and start at the end of the brow, then fill in from the outside. Finally, apply blush, sweeping it along the cheekbones from front to back, applying evenly and blending it naturally.
