Everyone in the room held their breath subconsciously, perhaps because they were shocked by the beautiful jeweled wedding dress, or maybe they were attracted by the beauty of the bride-to-be wearing the wedding dress.
Zhao Lanxiang unconsciously tightened her waist and abdomen, raised her head and raised her chest. She touched the silky Xia 帔 on her body, which was extremely rare. The wedding dress is embroidered with auspicious patterns, and the cranes, lotus flowers, phoenix tails, bats and auspicious clouds form a harmonious pattern. A pair of large collars and fronts hang from Zhao Lanxiang's neck all the way down from the chest, like a shawl, and the tail is draped with a jade pendant, swaying and swaying when walking, luxurious and beautiful.
The eldest sister put the phoenix crown on her tentatively, because the hair accessories had not yet been tied, and the huge and heavy phoenix crown was shaky on her head.
The moment she put it on, Zhao Lanxiang felt her neck sink a bit. She subconsciously supported the phoenix crown with both hands, wearing such an expensive thing on her head, Zhao Lanxiang did not dare to take it lightly for fear of breaking it.
At this moment, Sanya smiled and dragged her eldest brother over to join in the fun.
He Songbai came in from outside the door and saw his daughter-in-law standing in the center of the room, his lacquer eyes darkened. He was immersed in this fiery red color, and the corners of his mouth were slowly raised.
"Are you trying your clothes now?"
He walked over and took off the phoenix crown on Zhao Lanxiang's head, and said with a smile: "I'll find someone with skills tomorrow to tie your hair, it's not appropriate to wear it now."
When Feng Guan left his neck, Zhao Lanxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly thanked her grandma, "Thank you grandma for leaving it to me."
"This phoenix crown is really beautiful. Wearing them to get married will feel worth it in this life."
Grandma smiled lightly and said, "Just like it."
"Come on, I'm tired too, you little husband and wife take the wedding dress away."
Zhao Lan hugged Granny's arm sweetly, rubbed her legs and massaged her shoulders.
She said, "It's been hard work, grandma."
At the beginning, Zhao Lanxiang felt that this old man was difficult to get along with, indifferent and difficult to approach. But after He Songbai told Zhao Lanxiang what happened to her grandmother, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the old man. In getting along gradually, she discovered that this old grandmother is actually a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, with a contrasting cuteness.
She is serious and serious, and she seems to be casual but actually sees everything in her eyes. It's just that the early death of her husband and son made her disheartened. Now life has brought her hope, she has become softer, and the occasional smile makes her heart warm.
Grandma sighed and said, "Your character is very good, and Brother Bo also knows how to be considerate."
"However... The most important thing to get along with a husband and wife is to be honest, and what is rare is to understand each other and consider each other's shoes. I hope you two young couples can last a long time. After quarreling and bickering, you can remember the difficulties of the past, and support each other for a lifetime. ."
Facing grandma's pre-marriage teaching, Zhao Lanxiang nodded earnestly and took it to heart.
She smiled and said, "Thank you grandma."
She and the eldest sister went to the back and carefully changed out the wedding dress, and then followed He Songbai to retire with the old grandmother.
He Songbai's voice contained a smile, "I won't quarrel with you."
"If you bicker with you in the future, remember to kiss me."
"Gag my mouth so I can't speak. As soon as you kiss me, I don't think about anything in my head, I just want to have fun with you."
Zhao Lanxiang's cheeks were hot, and her heart was pounding hot in her chest. She had seen the old man chasing after her, but He Songbai was embarrassed now.
"What do you do to be happy? You really... don't pay attention to the impact at all."
He Songbai let out a deep laugh, he grabbed her hand cheekily, and counted her one by one with his fingers.
"For example, sending you beautiful flowers, going outside to get some fresh air, watching a movie, cooking together... There are many, many, many."
Zhao Lanxiang was suddenly speechless.
…
The first month of the first month is also the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Just a few days after getting the certificate, this day is the best day in the whole January. There is a festive atmosphere everywhere in the city, cleaning the house, eating the New Year pig, and drinking Laba porridge.
Zhao Lanxiang was pulled up by Feng Lian before dawn. Because she was going to wear a traditional dress to get married, Feng Lian had to ask someone to help her daughter with her hair, face, and makeup.
When combing her hair, Feng Lian looked at her slender daughter, and her heart turned back and forth, both happy and disappointed.
"As soon as you comb through your hair, you don't have to worry about wealth."
"Two combs to the head, no disease and no worries."
"Three combs to the end, more children and more longevity."
Two happy children, a man and a woman, applauded vigorously and grinned. One is responsible for holding the fruit plate, and the other holds the red hydrangea. These two happy boys are strong men caught temporarily by Feng Lian, but they are actually Xiaohuzi and Sanya. The lively days made the two of them participate in a little joy.
After the auspicious time, a car drove to the door of Zhao's house and took the bride to "Songlan" for the wedding banquet.
When Zhao Lanxiang went out, firecrackers and fireworks rang out, and fireworks were sprinkled in the air all the way. Several members of the Zhao family distributed wedding candy and cigarettes to the onlookers. Walking all the way, it was very lively, and I hooked up all the neighbors who lived in Laba at home.
Well now, everyone knows that Zhao Yongqing is going to marry his daughter. After the reform and opening up, Zhao Yongqing, a 10,000-dollar household in these streets, married his daughter!
This ostentation is extremely lavish, and it is the most lively ostentation they have seen in the past few decades for marrying a daughter.
Neighbors have all inquired about where the Zhao family's son-in-law is, what occupation, and how much his monthly salary is. As a result, when they learned that they were foreigners, all of them immediately beat their chests and feet, letting the fat water flow to the outsiders' fields abruptly.
The wedding banquet of the Zhao family's daughter was held in the fast-rising famous restaurant "Songlan" in G city, and a red sticker with the words "Congratulations on the wedding" written on gold-sprayed paper was hung on the door. The sound of firecrackers and fireworks is endless.
As soon as Zhao Lanxiang got out of the car, he was almost frightened by the pomp and circumstance played by his father. He asked him to keep a low profile, and he ended up with such a posture.
This wedding was particularly impressive in the memories of those old people of the century, and many of them mentioned it in their memoirs.
Because today "Songlan" is giving the whole city free wedding candy cakes, a full carload of wedding candy cakes, one pack per household, it took a long time to send out. The passers-by who met the wedding banquet were very happy, not to mention the people who brought invitations to the wedding banquet.
The door of "Songlan" was crowded, and the lively voices were endless.
The sumptuous and delicious food is mouth-watering, and the wine and wine are intoxicating.
He Songbai and Zhao Lanxiang toasted table by table, and the guests moved their chopsticks to eat like a storm. He Songbai accompanied Zhao Yongqing's business friends to drink and talk, and frequently mentioned the opening prospects of coastal cities. He Songbai escaped a lot of alcohol while he was talking.
Rao is a huge amount of him, and the day he became a bridegroom was also not light. There is no brother-in-law to help him stop drinking at the moment, his brother-in-law is still a little boy with a snot.
The banquet lasted from noon to the evening. After a wave of waiters, they cleaned up and greeted the evening banquet neatly and cleanly.
Zhao Lanxiang's classmates also came, and many of them knew for the first time that "Songlan" was the store she opened. The bridegroom was tall and handsome, and he was neither humble nor arrogant when talking to the businessmen of the city, and his demeanor convinced them.
Jiang Li also came in the evening. She came with Tang Qing. She specially gave a gift to Zhao Lanxiang at the wedding banquet, and a gift to He Songbai.
"I didn't expect you to move so fast," she said.
Jiang Li wanted to say something else, but seeing the happy and sweet smiles on the couple's faces, she swallowed the words when they reached her lips.
She jokingly said: "I used to think that we might become a family, and I can come to Songlan to eat and drink in an open and honest way... Alas." She changed her voice and said to He Songbai, "It's good to be right. she."
"It's not easy for her to get to where you are today."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, she chose a place to sit. She looked at Tang Qing in the crowd, and his eyes were fixed on the bride. She turned her head back, picked up the roast suckling pig of "Hong Pao Tian Fei" and ate it. This reminded her of one year when Zhao Lanxiang roasted pork belly rice in that dark and broken woodhouse.
Mouth full of oily fragrance, fat but not greasy.
Because the seasoning is sufficient, the roast suckling pig in front of you will be more delicious. When the chopsticks are poked in, the oil will "snack", and the oil of the suckling pig will be fried with a knife. The outside is crispy and the inside is soft and tender, crisp and soft, as if it is moistened with cream. Sprinkle onion balls and roll up the dough to taste delicious. It is also delicious when eaten with sweet noodle sauce.
There are acetic acid sauce, sweet sauce, and salty sauce on the dishes, which makes people eat very rich.
After Zhao Lanxiang finished her toast, it was time to go back to the lounge to touch up her makeup. She told He Songbai, "Don't drink so much, eh?"
He Songbai smiled and held her hand back, "Go and rest, I'm afraid you'll be drunk too if you're late."
When Zhao Lanxiang returned to the lounge, she was so hungry that her chest was on her back. On this day, she changed her wedding dress twice in total. Before going out, she wore the phoenix crown given by her grandmother, and when she toasted, she wore the wedding dress bought by her parents. She took off her shoes and socks and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I got married in winter, otherwise I wouldn't know how hot it would be."
Feng Lian was unpacking the guest's gift money red envelopes, and when she opened Jiang Li's share, it was incredible, she was speechless.
The red envelope, which was originally thought to be a thin envelope, was opened, and a check with a denomination of tens of thousands was shaken out and signed Jiang Jianjun.
Feng Lian's hands almost didn't tremble.
"What's the matter with this person? We dare not accept so many gifts."
Zhao Lanxiang glanced at the signature of the check and groaned.
She said, "I'll ask Bo Ge'er to go back."
Outside the "Songlan" Hotel.
Jiang Li walked out of the gate full of food and drink, and walked to a black military vehicle.
She raised her chin and said, "I've given you the gift money, why don't you go in and sit?"
The man in the driver's seat said lightly, "You're full, it's time to go home."
But his fists were clenched, and the veins were bulging.
Jiang Li sighed, "You're not as good as Tang Qing at this point. She's married, so you should stop thinking about it."
Jiang Jianjun pursed his lips tightly, and said after a long while, "You don't understand anything."
They were once a family, once blood-connected children, once had happiness...
Jiang Li added: "You didn't cherish it at the beginning, but what's the use of regretting it now. Go and drive."
…
After the wedding banquet, He Songbai was able to escape.
He was driven home by his father-in-law, and a few young people carried him to the new house while he was drunk.
"Let's go, I'll leave you a couple of good things."
"Really, why are you so drunk?" a young man muttered.
After they delivered the people, they exited the new house.
Another young man said with a guilty conscience, "Student Zhao shouldn't blame us for making the groom so drunk on the wedding night."
"On a big day, you should be drunk before you can enjoy yourself."
The voice outside the door was getting quieter. Zhao Lanxiang twisted the towel to wipe He Songbai's face. She pursed her lips and smiled: "I knew you weren't drunk, get up."
"It's not like that when you're drunk, so cunning."
He Songbai was suddenly startled, he wrapped his arms around his daughter-in-law and kissed her twice, with a strong aroma of wine.
Zhao Lanxiang put the towel on his face, "Since you're not drunk, just go take a bath yourself, the smell of alcohol, oh!"
She pinched her nose in disgust.
He Songbai laughed and kissed her again, "No matter how stinky your man is, he is still your man."
After he finished speaking, he picked up his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower and take a shower, and entered the room with a fragrance all over his body.
He Songbai satisfactorily hugged his daughter-in-law, who was also clean and tender, in his arms, and murmured, "We are married!"
"I finally brought you home."
The warm yellow light was softly sprinkled on her clean face, and she was dizzy with a thin layer of water vapor just after taking a bath. The sense of water made He Songbai's heart tickled.
She showed a smile, pressed her face to his chest, and said softly, "I'm also very happy to marry Bo Ge'er."
He Songbai's blood seemed to boil when he heard this, and his face flowed upstream.
He put his arms around his newlywed wife, breathing heavily, kissed her quickly, bit her, and possessed her with the utmost tenderness and ferocity.
The night was thick, the soft moonlight sprinkled on the streets, and there was silence all around.
The rapid and enthusiastic heartbeats of the two of them seemed to constitute a noisy world.
