Chapter 658: Sense of Ritual
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan looked at the big red wedding invitation in front of them and were stunned.
Previously, when Tang Guixi said she was getting married the next day, Yu Niaoniao thought that she was joking. She did not expect her to be serious.
In such a short time, she had even made a wedding invitation.
Yu Niaoniao could not help but admire her. “As expected of a great general.
You’re so efficient.”
Tang Guixi crossed her arms and was very proud.
“Of course!”
Xiao Juan said, “You’re getting married tomorrow, but you and Shen Xu haven’t made your wedding clothes or prepared the ingredients needed for the banquet. Are you sure you can make it?”
Tang Guixi waved her hand. “These are all small matters. It doesn’t matter if there’s a wedding gown. I’ll just wear a red shirt. There’s even less of a need for a banquet. I plan to set up a table at home and let the few of us sit together for a meal.”
Even someone as carefree as Yu Niaoniao could not stand it anymore. “Marriage is a big deal. You’re too sloppy.”
Tang Guixi said, “It’s fine. Shen Xu and I are not the kind of people who care about such a small matter. As long as the two of us can live well, isn’t it better than anything?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Although that’s the case, you still have to have the necessary ritual. When you’re old in the future, this will be an important memory.”
Tang Guixi stroked her chin thoughtfully. “You have a point. Alright, I’ll prepare now.”
With that, she ran away again.
Yu Niaoniao watched her leave. For some reason, she had a bad feeling.
“Ah Juan, will Guixi mess things up?
Xiao Juan patted her shoulder and comforted her silently.
Although Tang Guixi expressed that she wanted everything to be simple, it was still a wedding. Yu Niaoniao was still worried. She specially got someone to buy a large number of red lanterns and red satin and decorated the General’s Mansion overnight.
She also bought the necessary dragon and phoenix candles, fruits, and snacks. Only the wedding dress was more troublesome. It would definitely be too late to make it now.
Yu Niaoniao could only get someone to buy a ready-made red dress from the ready-made clothes shop and ask Granny Xiu Yan for help. She embroidered the hem of the dress with the pattern of a dragon and phoenix.
The night passed quickly.
Yu Niaoniao looked at Tang Guixi in the red wedding dress and realized that the dress length was still a little short.
However, Tang Guixi was very satisfied.
“That’s good. If it’s too long, I can’t move.”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless. “You’re getting married, not fighting a war. There’s no need for you to move around. You just have to sit quietly in the carriage.”
Tang Guixi said, “That won’t do. I’m going to ride to pick Shen Xu up later.”
Yu Niaoniao was in disbelief. “You’re riding a horse dressed like that?”
Tang Guixi asked, “Can’t I?”
Yu Niaoniao was furious. “Of course not! Who wears a red wedding dress to ride a horse? That’s too ugly!”
“I see. Then I’d better change.” 𝓯𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝒃𝓷𝓸𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝙤𝙢
With that, Tang Guixi began to undress.
Yu Niaoniao quickly stopped her. “Don’t change! It wasn’t easy to put it on. If you take it off, won’t it be a waste of effort? Besides, we only prepared this wedding dress. If you take it off, what are you going to wear to get married later?”
Tang Guixi was very innocent. “You were the one who said that riding a horse like this is too ugly.”
Yu Niaoniao held her forehead in pain.
“Forget it, forget it. Just pretend I didn’t say anything. Stop fussing and wear it like this.”
Tang Guixi was very happy. “Then I’ll pick him up now.” Yu Niaoniao quickly stopped her. “Wait, your hair isn’t combed yet!”
Tang Guixi touched her bun. “Isn’t it already combed?”
“You’re just wearing a bun. You’re not wearing a hair accessory.” Yu Niaoniao raised her hand and pointed, looking very imposing.
“Go sit there. Hurry!”
Tang Guixi could only sit obediently beside the dressing table.
Originally, the bride should wear a phoenix crown, but Yu Niaoniao really could not find a suitable phoenix crown for the time being, so she could only replace it with a peacock golden hairpin and a hibiscus flower.
Tang Guixi felt her head sink.
She could not help but turn to look at Yu Niaoniao and ask pitifully. “Do I have to wear so many things?”
Yu Niaoniao pinched her chin and forcefully turned her face back. “Yes!”
Granny Xiu Yan walked in with a tray.
“It’s still early. Eat something to fill your stomachs.”
Yu Niaoniao and Tang Guixi happened to be hungry. They thanked Granny Xiu Yan and picked up the pastries to eat.
Granny Xiu Yan looked at Tang Guixi and smiled. “General Tang is so beautiful today.”
Tang Guixi chuckled. “Thanks to these clothes and accessories you prepared for me.” freewebn(o)vel
However, Tang Guixi’s situation was too special, so Yu Niaoniao and Granny Xiu Yan did not mention these words.
They only reminded Tang Guixi to drink less water in case she had to go to the toilet during the wedding later.
Tang Guixi not only thought of something, but she suddenly said. “By the way, remember to help prepare some raw glutinous rice balls.”
Yu Niaoniao was puzzled. “Why do you want to raw glutinous rice balls?”
Tang Guixi said, “For me to eat. When we enter the bridal chamber later, bring me the raw glutinous rice balls and ask me if they are raw (where I want to give birth). I’ll say yes. Isn’t this the custom for wedding nights?”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
“Where did you hear all this strange customs?”
Tang Guixi said, “It’s in the books.” Yu Niaoniao said, “You can’t take what’s in the book seriously!”
Tang Guixi was very disappointed. “I see…”
Granny Xiu Yan smiled and said, “Since General Tang wants it, I’ll prepare some raw glutinous rice balls later.” Tang Guixi immediately became happy again.
“Thank you, Granny!”
Yu Niaoniao sighed. “I really don’t know what to do with you. Hurry up and do your makeup.”
Tang Guixi finished the last pastry and sat down obediently. She did not forget to remind her, “Don’t put too much makeup on me. I don’t like heavy makeup.” Yu Niaoniao replied, “Alright, alright, alright. I understand.”
Tang Guixi had relatively healthy honey-colored skin which Yu Niaoniao found to be quite good-looking. In addition, her skin was smooth and there were no flaws to cover. Yu Niaoniao did not apply powder for her and only applied a thin layer of rouge to her. Then, she traced her eyebrows and applied red lip gloss.
However, this made it seem like there were too many decorations on Tang Guixi’s head.
Yu Niaoniao simply helped her take off the hibiscus flower and those extra hair accessories, leaving only the peacock golden hairpin and golden bead hairpin for her.
This accentuated Tang Guixi’s facial advantage.
Tang Guixi herself felt that this was easier.
Coincidentally, it was almost time. Tang Guixi stood up and prepared to go out to pick her husband up..
