In the blink of an eye, it was Ding Qingyan's wedding day.
That day, Su Yi woke up early to the sound of the alarm clock. With sleepy eyes, he got out of bed and washed his face.
After changing into her dress, she rubbed her face, trying to wake herself up. Then she returned to the bed, bent down, and kissed Lan Fuchu's cheek in the morning light. "Honey, I'm going out."
"So early? What time?" Lan Fuchu opened his eyes slightly and reached out to pull her arm.
"It's only five o'clock, it's still early, you should sleep a little longer."
He squinted at the gray-blue sky outside the window, "Who's coming to pick you up?"
"Xiao and Jiayi, we are short of bridesmaids, so they can come and help make up the number."
"Yeah." He felt a little relieved. "Okay, be careful. I'll come find you later."
"Okay, go to sleep."

When they arrived at the Ding family, they were already in a festive mood, with the hall full of people, talking and laughing. When they saw Su Yi, Dad and Mom were not unfamiliar with her. It was Su Yi who helped Qingyan get rid of the scumbag Dong Xinyu. So Dad and Mom liked Su Yi very much. When they saw her, they talked to her for a long time and gave her many red envelopes.
The master was sitting in the main seat in the living room entertaining the guests. Those who came to his house today were all close friends and relatives. The children were running around the hall, making it very lively.
Su Yi and others followed the servant to Ding Qingyan's room. Yanyan was already dressed up and was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room. She was wearing a snow-white wedding dress and a snow-white veil. She was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
When Su Yi entered, Yanyan's secretary Xiao Zhu immediately asked them to put on makeup, "Hurry up, put on makeup, the groom will be here in half an hour."
Xiao Xiao is an actress and is used to wearing makeup when going out, so she is the only one who does not need to touch up her makeup. In fact, everyone does it themselves, especially the unmarried girls, who all dress themselves up brightly and attractively, hoping to meet one or two ideal husbands at the wedding banquet tonight.
Su Yi looked at the servants busying about and said with emotion, "It's so lively."
Fang Jiayi nodded, "Yeah, there are a lot of people."
"I wonder if it will be the same when I get married."
Fang Jiayi was infected by her smile and started laughing too, "Of course, it will be even more exaggerated."
Su Yi smiled, "Among the three of us, two have found their partners, and you are the only one missing." She was actually speaking in favor of the youngest, but she couldn't do it too obviously, for fear that mentioning the youngest all the time would make Jiayi feel disgusted.
When it comes to the issue of belonging, Fang Jiayi feels helpless. After Mu Ziyin forced her to accompany him on Saturday night, he never came to see her again... Tomorrow night is Saturday, and she doesn't know if she can avoid it then.
Ding Qingyan's room was filled with jewels, dazzling and dazzling. Those who came in to see her dowry were dazzled. Su Yi found it funny and asked her sideways: "Yan Yan, why do those women come in to see these jewels?"
Ding Qingyan smiled and said, "This is the custom of our ancestors. Before getting married, the woman has to display her dowry for the relatives to see."
"So that's how it is."
"Well, there will be children coming to see the bride later. You have to give a red envelope to each one who comes in." Ding Qingyan said, throwing a handful of red envelopes to Su Yi, "Take these, and if someone asks you for a red envelope later, you can give it out."
"Okay." Su Yi held the stack of red envelopes in her hand. Seeing that the makeup artist who was helping her with her makeup was working hard, she gave him one, "Here, this is for you."
"Thank you." The makeup artist accepted the red envelope and was obviously very happy. She turned to Ding Qingyan and said, "I wish Miss Ding a happy wedding and a long-lasting happiness."
"I love to hear that." Ding Qingyan smiled brightly and gave him another one. "I'm giving you one. My friend is a pregnant woman, and her husband is really amazing. You have to be careful and take care of her, and don't hurt her."
"Of course not. I know she's pregnant, so I used mild and non-irritating products for her." He also explained to Su Yi, "Miss Su, since you're pregnant, we won't put heavy makeup on you. You have good skin, so it doesn't matter if you don't put on foundation. I'll just put on some eye and lip makeup for you."
"OK, it does not matter."
It was a joyous day and everyone was in a particularly good mood.
Especially the Ding family, who were willing to spend money and purchase luxurious items, so everyone felt particularly comfortable.
Half an hour later.
Thirty-eight wedding cars stopped at the door of the Ding family on time. Lin Jishen and a few friends got out of the car. The groom wore a neat black suit, and the other groomsmen all wore gray. Xiao Xiao took a look at the window and ran back to say, "The groom is here, and there are so many wedding cars. It's really a big scene."
Everyone suddenly became hurried.
Xiao Zhu yelled in the room, "Bridesmaids, hurry to the door and gather. They're going to tease the groom!"
Su Yi heard this and said to the makeup artist, "Xiao Zhu is calling people, I have to go over and gather them."
"It's almost done, sis. Don't move. I'm just short of putting blush on you." After a while, the makeup artist changed her address to Su Yi from Miss Su to sis. I don't know why, but people in their industry always feel like they can easily get along with others.
"Gather quickly!" Xiao Zhu urged everyone again.
"Okay." Su Yi responded, stuffed the phone into her small perfume bag, hung it diagonally on her body and went to gather at the door.
Seven bridesmaids, including Xiao Zhu, were standing at the door blocking the way, laughing and making it quite lively.
The groom arrived soon, surrounded by his groomsmen.
After knocking on the door, one of the best men said, "The groom is here! Open the door!"
"No." Xiao Zhu used his body as a door, "If you want to come in, you need a red envelope."
The best man asked, "How much?"
Xiao Zhu smiled and said, "There are seven people here, 9999 for each, you can calculate it yourself."
Best man: "Wow, you guys are robbing..."
Xiao Zhu: "It's up to you, otherwise you can't come in."
The best man half-jokingly said, "Make it cheaper. There are so many of you, so 99 per person."
"No!" Xiao Zhu refused without allowing any bargaining. "This is not like picking cabbages in the vegetable market. You are still bargaining and raising the price. No, no, you must pay 9999, otherwise the groom can't take the bride away."
After he finished speaking, all the girls in the room laughed.
Su Yi asked Xiao Zhu, "9999 per person, is this too much?"
Xiao Zhu blinked and said, "No, Miss Su, this is the price that Madam asked me to set. Our Miss Yanyan is worth this price."
"Okay, then if you don't give it to them, then we really won't let them in."
"Yes, you must give it. If you don't, you won't be allowed in."
"Is this also a custom?"
"Yes."
Su Yi nodded, looking like he had learned something.
Several groomsmen outside the door discussed for a while and said, "Forget it, it's so expensive, we won't go in, bye bye."
"Hey! Don't do it, wife!" Su Yi couldn't help but say when he saw them turning around to leave.
Through a small piece of glass, Su Yi saw Gu Benmo turned his head and looked at her through the glass, then he said with a smile: "Then if you open the door, the groom will be able to take the beauty home, right?"
"Wow, this best man is so handsome!" Xiao Zhu said infatuatedly.
Su Yi smiled and said, "No, I have to collect 9999 before I can open the door."
"Okay then, I'll give you 9999 alone, you open the door."
"No, no." Su Yi waved his hand and made the number seven. "There must be seven people, and each person must count 9999 before the door can be opened. This is the rule."
Several groomsmen immediately said, "We have no money. How about we give you a kiss each and you let us in?"
The bridesmaids burst into laughter.
Su Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "You wish for that. Of course it won't work."
"Yes!" Xiao Zhu replied, "If you don't have money, then you can only accept the test. What do you think? Do you want to give money or accept the test?"
"It's a test, your entry fee is too expensive, we can't afford it."
"Well, let's test how well you know the bride." Xiao Zhu brought some cards and asked the groomsmen outside the door, "There are three kinds of food. Guess what the bride likes to eat? A, mango, B, durian, C, carnation."
As a result, people chose ABC.
Xiao Zhu shook his head and said, "No, no, you can only choose one. You guys should agree on which one to choose."
Su Yi felt that these questions were very confusing, so he asked Xiao Xiao who was standing next to him, "Xiao, I don't understand why you ask the groomsmen to guess the bride's favorite food? Shouldn't the groom be the one to guess?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, you don't understand. The groom is not being teased for testing. He is asking those questions to liven up the atmosphere. The groomsmen and bridesmaids don't know each other. If they don't build a relationship with each other through some things, you will know how awkward it will be when the wedding comes. They will just be looking after themselves and won't say a word."
“So there is such knowledge.”
"Of course, but there is also a test for the groom, but it's a little later, when the atmosphere is up, then the test for the groom will begin."
Su Yi nodded, feeling that he had learned a lot today.
