In the very narrow long teahouse, which is about two meters long and one meter wide, the low paper door is ajar, and a woman wearing ancient Chinese costumes is sitting opposite the door.
The wall behind her was bare with no photos, but there was a simple stoneware flowerpot hanging against the wall. There was a quaint peony planted in the flowerpot, with three flowers on one branch. It turned out to be the long-lost Yao Huang, Wei Zi and Ou Bi.
Bloom quietly in this constant-temperature tea room.
A luxurious Persian wool blanket was spread on the floor, and in the corner of the rosewood coffee table in front of him was a red-glazed jade pot and spring vase, with a white lily of the valley inserted diagonally inside.
What was on the coffee table was no longer yarrow sticks, but fifty small mahogany sticks.
The woman knelt down in front of the coffee table, looking at the hexagrams drawn on the white paper in front of her, and was silent for a while.
Xixun and Qian, Xia Gua.
"Madam, how do you like this hexagram?"
"Hexagram 44, Hexagram Xiu, Qian is the sky; Xun is the wind. There is wind in the world, blowing all over the earth, yin and yang are intertwined, and all things are prosperous." The woman murmured.
"Ah? Isn't this... very good for married people?" the middle-aged servant woman said uneasily.
The woman sneered and said: "Jie is about to marry, and the yin and yang meet. But look at this specific hexagram, five yin and one yang, yin is strong and yang is declining, so we can't get along for a long time. This hexagram is not a good hexagram for marriage at all! "
Middle-aged servant: "..."
She glanced at the woman and said cautiously: "But madam, you don't seem to be thinking of marriage?"
"Haha, Yi Zhidao can move as he pleases, how can he determine the range?" The woman put away the small mahogany stick, "Where is my yarrow stick? I want to do another fortune telling."
After switching to mahogany, it was always unstable.
She thought it would be better to use yarrow to calculate again.
Ten minutes later, looking at the hexagram that came out in front of her, she took a deep breath and suppressed her excitement.
It's still the Jiao hexagram, five yin and one yang, and even the specific line positions are the same.
"...That's great." She stood up and stroked her bun.
With a calm and calm expression on his face, he stretched out his jade-white arm: "Where's my dress? Are you ready? I have to attend a high-profile wedding rehearsal tonight, and I don't want to miss this good show."
She never regretted her decision.
Not only men understand the justice of family and country, women are no worse than men.
…
To say what is the most popular news in the entire Chinese Empire recently, it is of course "Your Life", also known as "Second Life", this large-scale online game that was once very popular.
After being thrown into an unprecedented crisis by the sudden emergence of AI, it disappeared overnight.
The shock it brought to the Internet society was unparalleled, and even overshadowed the upcoming wedding of "National CP" Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng.
These two names have been on the hot search for a long time.
Many people are relieved that no one is tracking the progress of wedding preparations and predicting wedding dress styles 24 hours a day.
Gu Nianzhi woke up from a ten-day coma and was very happy to know the news.
If possible, she would like her wedding to be small, warm, and intimate, with only people she knows well to celebrate with.
However, with Huo Shaoheng's current status and identity, this is impossible.
And her father, Lu Jin, would not let go of this opportunity to show off his girl in front of the whole world.
Therefore, she enjoyed it very much.
After a good night's sleep, when she woke up, she had already recovered most of her energy.
The skin is fair and delicate, with a faint bright pink color showing through the flawless texture, and it is more tender than a freshly peeled lychee.
She sat in front of the dressing table and spent a long time choosing from a row of newly bought lipsticks, but she couldn't choose the right color.
Huo Shaoheng half leaned on her dressing table, leaned over, held the back of her neck, looked at her carefully for a while, and said, "I'm here to help you."
Gu Nianzhi thought Huo Shaoheng was going to choose a suitable lipstick color for her to put on, so her lips pursed slightly.
The shape of her lips was a perfect rhombus shape, which was already full and plump. When it was puckered, it looked like a seductive kiss.
Huo Shaoheng didn't want to choose a lipstick color for her, so he kissed her.
He held her lips in his mouth and looked in the mirror while kissing her. He didn't let her go until he "bited" a nice red color.
Gu Nianzhi saw that his lips were almost "swollen" and he felt like crying.
She beat Huo Shaoheng's chest bitterly and said angrily: "How can I see people at night if you are like this?"
Huo Shaoheng smiled and let her beat him, and said, "What's wrong? You think the color is not good? What's wrong with it? I'll make up for it again..."
As he said that, he pretended to kiss her again.
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly pushed him away and said angrily: "Okay, enough is enough."
Pushing Huo Shaoheng out, she returned to the dressing table and looked at her lip color again, and found that it was indeed good.
No matter how beautiful the color of the lipstick is, it is "dead", but the color on her lips now is alive.
It is the brightest red color among the first blooming stamens of peonies. It is also the rouge color reflected in the sky at sunset. It blooms quietly on her lips. It is gorgeous without smearing it. It is natural and cannot be painted by any lipstick. Good looking.
Gu Nianzhi looked in the mirror for a while and felt that there was really no need to put on lipstick anymore.
She got up and went to the closet to get the dress she had customized.
Although tonight is a wedding rehearsal, the guests are the same as tomorrow, and the various ceremonies are exactly the same.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi also carefully prepared the dress.
This is a tutu skirt from the top French Haute Couture brand Chanel. It has an ivory white skirt and a palm-width girdle with hollow carvings and small diamonds around the waist, which makes her look taller and slimmer. The legs are long.
Her slender neck is like a swan, with perfect shoulder-to-neck proportions. Paired with a full set of ruby jewelry from Van Cleef & Arpels, a four-leaf clover-shaped ruby and diamond necklace, earrings and bracelets of the same style, and the engagement ring given to her by Huo Shaoheng, she looks like A walking crystal flower branch shines brightly.
But no matter how beautiful those jewelry were, they couldn't suppress her dazzling eyes.
She walked out of the suite, her eyes seemed to be shining, full of vitality that was eager to try.
Tonight is her home court.
Lu Jian, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, happily greeted her, "My girl is so beautiful!"
He took Gu Nianzhi's hands and looked up and down.
Gu Nianzhi pursed his lips and chuckled, took Lu Jin's arm, and said softly: "Dad, that system AI tracking video you showed me back then, is it true?"
"Why did I lie to you? But why do you want to see these things?" Lu Jin led her downstairs, "Dinner was not even delicious."
"I'm really not hungry." Gu Nianzhi actually had no appetite at all, because her attention was on other things.
"Okay, I know what you are going to do again." Lu Jin helplessly patted the back of her hand, "Tonight is your wedding rehearsal."
"So what? It's not a formal wedding." Gu Nianzhi made a face, "Of course the venue must be cleaned so that the wedding can be held without any worries!"
Lu Jin laughed loudly and walked down the spiral staircase with her.
Huo Shaoheng was already waiting downstairs, wearing a black custom-made tuxedo.
Gu Nianzhi had never seen Huo Shaoheng wearing a tuxedo, and he couldn't take his eyes away from it.
"Master Huo, you look so good dressed like this..." Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and obsession.
Huo Shaoheng leaned forward and kissed her lips, "Nianzhi, you are so beautiful, especially the lipstick, the color is so beautiful."
"Of course." Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly, "This is called killing men."
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and took her into the car calmly.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the middle of the back seat, while Huo Shaoheng and Lu Jin sat beside her on the left and right.
Gu Nianzhi held Huo Shaoheng in one arm and Lu Jin in the other, sighing with satisfaction, "My life is complete."
She is a contented girl.
Contented, therefore always happy.
…
Not long after, the group arrived at the venue for tonight's wedding rehearsal.
This place was once one of the ancient power centers of the Chinese Empire, with red walls and green tiles, and colorful lanterns.
On the spacious site, rows of comfortable sofas, tables and chairs are arranged in a semi-arc shape.
The guests came early, taking red wine and meals from the rows of long tables around them, eating and drinking, and chatting casually.
These are carefully prepared by the world's top celebrity chefs and specially prepared for tonight's wedding rehearsal.
As time passed, Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng stepped into the wedding rehearsal scene. The symphony orchestra hidden in the dark quickly played the "Wedding March".
The guests quickly looked up and saw tonight's groom-to-be Huo Shaoheng and bride-to-be Gu Nianzhi walking up the red carpet.
The appearance of this newlywed couple is so good, and their temperament is even more outstanding, but they are not condescending. In addition to being enviable, they can also feel close to each other.
No one paid attention to the clothes and jewelry of the newlyweds.
All the jewelry Gu Nianzhi wore today was worth tens of millions of dollars in total, but her simple smile was not as eye-catching as hers.
Lu Jin followed and walked over, looked around, and finally found a seat between Zhao Liangze and Zhan Zhan, instead of sitting next to Lu Yuan and Song Jinning.
Zhao Liangze and Chen Chen both admired him so much that when they saw him sitting next to them, they wished they could worship him like a Bodhisattva.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng walked in over there, neither of them noticed.
Lu Jin saw Gu Nianzhi's eyes sweeping around the whole place, finally settling on a corner and setting the time for a few seconds.
Most of the guests sitting there came in with invitations made by others.
For example, Ulla Amar, who was born in India, grew up in London, studied in the United States, and suddenly became the largest federal military contractor in the United States at the age of thirty.
There is also Minako Yamaguchi, the president of Japan's Yamaguchi Co., Ltd. who lives in the mountains of Ohio all year round.
Of course, there is also the former Canaan lady who is a Chilean mining tycoon and is wearing a dark purple cheongsam. Her temperament is as elegant and virtuous as the orchid in the empty valley.
