Chapter 154 Wedding
After doing all these things, Wen Qing still didn't want to leave the space, so she simply unwrapped several pieces of jadeite raw stones that she bought in Gejiu at the beginning of last year. Two of them were stones, one contained a fist-sized yellow glutinous jadeite that could be used to carve ornaments; one was a 7 or 8 centimeter-sized ice-type positive green jadeite. From the largest piece of gravel, she actually unwrapped a piece of high-quality ice-type emerald jadeite weighing about one kilogram, which was no worse than the one that sold for 1000 million in Gangcheng last time.
She put the three pieces of jade into the small bamboo house and played with the collections in the study. Now there were more than twenty pieces of jade, seven pieces of bloodstone, more than ten pieces of calligraphy and paintings, and three boxes of gold in the study.
Her mood gradually calmed down, and she sat down to start practicing. Now her mental strength was getting stronger and stronger, and she could cultivate and harvest the crops in the space. She could also persist for longer and longer periods of time, which brought her a lot of convenience.
Before she knew it, she had been practicing until dawn. Wen Qing heard someone knocking on the door, so she came out of the space and ruffled the quilt on the bed.
After opening the door, they saw it was Zhuang Xien. They checked out of the room, went out for breakfast together, took their luggage to the train station, and bought train tickets back to Kyoto that day.
After 9 o'clock in the morning, Su Mei hurried over and asked the front desk, only to find out that the two had already checked out and left.
Wen Qing and Zhuang Xien spent the Spring Festival this year together. They were on the train on the first and second days of the New Year, and on the third and fourth days they went to Badaling and walked along the steep steps to the farthest point of the city wall.
Looking at the endless mountains, the mottled city walls, and the occasional eagle flying over the snow-capped ridges.
Although climbing up was a bit tiring, walking down from the city wall was very difficult because the steps were very narrow in some places. It took the two of them some effort to get down the mountain.
After staying in the small town for one night, listening to the sound of falling snow outside the window, Zhuang Xien brought up the idea of marriage again.
Wen Qing nodded, "Okay, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate when we get to work. Where will we live after we get married?"
Zhuang Xien held Wen Qing's hand and said, "Of course you will live with me after we get married."
After a pause, he said, "This is what I think about the wedding. Let's first invite friends to dinner in Pingjing, and then go back to my house to set up a banquet and meet relatives and friends. Is that okay with you?"
"Ok."
To get married, one needs a certificate from the work unit. The first thing Wen Qing did after starting work was to find the Personnel Department, explain the reason, and get a letter of introduction. Then the two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage.
It was just after the Spring Festival and there were not many people going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle marriage procedures. The two of them threw wedding candies at the staff and quickly got their marriage certificate.
Zhuang Xien took two marriage certificates with fresh seals and insisted on taking Wen Qing to the photo studio to take wedding photos. Seeing how happy he was, Wen Qing also sat down happily. The photographer used an old-fashioned camera, and with a "click", he captured the smiling faces of both of them.
Later, every time Wen Qing saw this photo, she always felt that she and Zhuang Xien were smiling foolishly.
Zhuang Xien's house was newly renovated and the furniture was also newly bought. Wen Qing and Zhuang Xien only bought new bedding, some candy and melon seeds, cut out big red wedding characters, and decorated the house.
The wedding banquet invited Chen Rui and her boyfriend, Zhu Hongying's family, Fang Yuan, Lin Qingyuan and his wife, as well as Liu Quan and his wife, Wang Jianguo and his wife, and Captain Liu and his wife. Everyone came to the courtyard to have fun, and the banquet was held in a restaurant outside.
Afterwards, Wen Qing took a wedding leave and returned to her hometown in Xijiang with Zhuang Xien.
Zhuang Xien's parents cleaned up his sister's room and made it into a new house. Wen Qing was a little unhappy when she saw that the sheets, quilts, washbasins, thermoses and teacups in the room were all old.
Zhuang Xien felt a little guilty. He had sent money home before and asked his family to help with the arrangement, but he didn't know why they didn't replace it with a new one. He didn't want to ask his parents in front of Wen Qing, so he just asked his father in a roundabout way.
As a result, his father said, "Big brother, your brother only has one room now. We are going to build a new house. We have already asked the production team to approve a piece of residential land. We just happened to buy bricks and tiles these days, so we didn't have time to take care of him.
Anyway, you won't be staying at home for many days, and your things in the new house have been cleaned and are clean, so just make do with it."
Zhuang Xien didn't say anything else. The two of them went to the town to buy some things and change their clothes.
However, Zhuang Xien's mother was also very happy to see that they bought a lot of new things. She thought that they could still use them after they left, so she said, "Dad, go to the Wang family at the end of the village and ask about tomorrow's banquet. Have you bought the meat and vegetables for the banquet? I'll help Xiaoqing clean the room."
Zhuang Xien's father went to find the people in the village who were helping to organize the banquet to arrange the banquet.
His mother helped Wen Qing put away the clutter in the room, wiped the table and windows, put out the newly bought wedding quilt, and pasted wedding characters on the room. Finally, the room looked like a new house.
Wen Qing didn't have to decorate the new house, but if she compromised in everything, people would inevitably look down on her. Appropriate persistence would also make people pay attention to her.
The new clothes worn at the wedding banquet were brought by Wen Qing from Pingjing. It is March now and Xijiang is no longer cold.
Wen Qing sewed an ancient-style Xiuhe dress with rouge-colored plum blossoms embroidered on the bright red skirt, which was both festive and beautiful.
On the wedding day, Wen Qing put on her wedding dress. The waist-hugging design made her look very slim, and with her makeup on, she looked radiant.
Zhuang Xien's sister gave birth to a child last year. She came home today and held Zhuang Xien's mother and whispered to her.
After a while, the two returned to the bridal chamber. Zhuang Xien's mother secretly opened the suitcase that Wen Qing brought back, took out a pink woolen dress, handed it to Zhuang's sister, and said, "Today is a good day for your brother. Even if your sister-in-law sees it, she can't make a fuss."
Zhuang Xien's sister is shorter than Wen Qing. Her hair was originally knee-length, but it grew to her calves.
She followed Wen Qing's example and put her hair behind her head, and it really made her look much neater.
Zhuang Xien's sister said happily: "Mom, how is it? Does it look good?"
Mother Zhuang also smiled and said, "Of course my daughter is pretty. Let's go out."
There is no ceremony at rural weddings. They just introduce the newlyweds to everyone and toast to each table.
Wen Qing raised the wine glass and just touched her lips slightly. Zhuang Xien was teased by his elders and friends and drank a lot of wine, his face flushed.
All the money for the wedding banquet was paid by Zhuang Xien. There were ten tables in total, with braised pork with preserved vegetables, braised pork, fried pork tenderloin, fried dried fish, braised lamb with scallions, stir-fried shredded pork, stewed chicken soup, eight meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, and plenty of rice.
Banquets of this level are second to none in the village. People in the village say that Zhuang Xian has made a fortune in Pingjing and found a wife who is a college student, young and beautiful, which makes the young people yearn for the outside world even more.
After the toast, Wen Qing went back to her room to change clothes, only to find that her suitcase had been opened and the pink wedding gown was missing. Upon further checking, she discovered that her new shirt and a pair of trousers were also missing.
Wen Qing found Zhuang Xien, who was chatting with classmates from the same village. Wen Qing pulled him aside and told him about the lost clothes.
Zhuang Xien felt embarrassed and said goodbye to everyone in a hurry. He returned home, found his mother, and saw that his sister was wearing Wen Qing's skirt and showing off to the relatives.
He was immediately furious, "Zhuang Xiyin, you are going too far. Why did you steal Xiaoqing's clothes?"
Zhuang Xien's mother said unhappily: "How can this be called stealing? What's wrong with my sister-in-law borrowing clothes to wear? Shouldn't family members help each other? My sister-in-law should give in to my sister-in-law."
Seeing that her mother was backing her up, Zhuang Xiyin also said, "Shouldn't a sister-in-law give something to her sister-in-law and brother-in-law?"
Zhuang Xien said, "Didn't your sister-in-law buy you fabric and candy?"
Zhuang's mother said dissatisfiedly: "It's just a piece of clothing, why are you fussing?"
Zhuang Xien said: "You shouldn't take other people's things without permission."
When Zhuang's father heard the commotion, he rushed over and said, "Boss, stop talking. I'll ask your sister to apologize to your wife later."
Zhuang Xien went back to comfort Wen Qing and explained, "Xiao Qing, I'm so sorry, they are used to taking things from home."
Wen Qing nodded without saying anything.
There was actually nothing valuable in her suitcase, and she put the skirt in the suitcase because she was going to wear it, but this behavior was really excessive.
