Chapter 391: Chapter 377: The Wedding Date

"And there’s the phoenix crown and the xiapei, which was also made by a master craftsperson from Xiangjiang with twenty years of experience in making traditional wedding attire. I’ve even prepared the matching jewelry. So we’re not lacking in the most time-consuming preparations."

At this, Xia Yuan felt very proud of her foresight.

"You see, these are all quite nice. Making these dresses really does take a lot of effort, and they were only just finished recently. The makers haven’t even left yet, which is perfect because I’ve already asked someone to tell them to stay for another half a month."

"No wonder you had someone take mine and Shitou’s measurements back then; you already had this planned out. What about these? The more I look at them, the more they seem like classical European noble attire?"

Lu Yun couldn’t help but admire Xia Yuan’s foresight, thinking about how she had anticipated her wedding to such an extent that she began preparing the wedding dress and attire so far in advance.

"These are indeed classical European noble attire."

Xia Yuan felt a mix of pride and embarrassment, "A few years ago, wasn’t there a TV series about Princess Sissi? I thought the dresses looked beautiful and if you wore them, you would be as charming as Princess Sissi herself. So I had a few made casually. Later, I thought you wouldn’t wear them and there was no suitable occasion, so I kept them hidden. Now, it turns out that we can use them for you to change into during your wedding."

"Right, I remember now. Aren’t these just like the dresses from those Princess Sissi movies you loved so much?"

Lu Yun suddenly recalled the very popular "Princess Sissi" series from those years. Her mother loved the films and watched them over and over without getting tired of them, "These clothes you made years ago, will they still fit me now?"

"I didn’t make them exactly to your measurements back then, thinking that these could be worn for your wedding debut. What do you think, do you like them?" Xia Yuan looked at Lu Yun expectantly.

"Of course, I love them. Thank you, Mom." Lu Yun sincerely thanked her.

"Silly girl, there’s no need to thank Mom."

Xia Yuan was overjoyed and began to put away the clothing, "Go wash up, Mom will go downstairs first. Your father and the others are downstairs discussing the wedding details with your in-laws and Shitou. Your grandparents didn’t come back with us; they stayed in Yushu Village and have started preparing as well.

It’s mainly because we need to invite so many people from our hometown, we can’t have them all come to the Capital City, so the bridal feast on our side cannot be held there. Apart from a few close elders, the rest will just need to be invited to Yushu Village for the wedding feast."

"Won’t Yushu Village be quite lively then?" Lu Yun chimed in as she changed her clothes.

"Your wedding is a big event; it’s bound to be lively. Before we left, your grandparents were saying we’d have at least seven days of banquet," Xia Yuan said with a laugh.

"Seven days—won’t that be too long?" The thought of having to socialize in Yushu Village for seven days gave her chills.

"Don’t worry, we won’t make you stay for the full seven days, just one or two days will be enough." Xia Yuan could see what Lu Yun was worried about and laughed lightly, heading out the door and dropping a comment before leaving, "We wouldn’t let you exhaust yourself staying that long to receive guests, what if it took a toll on your health?"

Lu Yun stuck out her tongue and chuckled stealthily, then quickly went to the washroom to freshen up and headed downstairs, where indeed, Pei Qingyuan, Zhang Min, Lu Aiguo, and Shitou were all gathered in the living room.

She obediently called out to someone, and Shitou got up, taking her to the dining room. Her breakfast was already set on the table: a bowl of corn porridge, two fried eggs, a small dish of green leafy vegetables, and a cup of fresh fruit juice.

"Grandpa, grandma, and mom and dad are discussing the wedding preparations. The date has been set already—there’s a good day in twelve days time. We can start writing invitations this afternoon and send them out tomorrow. However, we don’t need to worry about these things. I will be busy starting tomorrow. I also need to find time to go back to the research institute, and I probably won’t be able to return until two or three days before the wedding. During this time, you’ll stay in the Capital City, following mom and dad back to the courtyard house to live."

Watching Lu Yun eat with relish immediately put Shitou’s mind at ease, as seeing her vomiting yesterday had been frightening. Thankfully, aside from yesterday’s incident, everything about Lu Yun seemed normal.

"I don’t want to stay behind; I want to go with you," Lu Yun said anxiously upon hearing Shitou planning to leave her behind.

"It’s best not to see each other before the wedding. Besides, there are so many things for girls to take care of: trying on wedding dresses, jewelry, shoes, accessories—all of that will be quite overwhelming. Ten days will fly by in the blink of an eye, so you need to be obedient and listen."

"We can only take our wedding photos when I return. Then we’ll have them rushed and hopefully, they’ll be ready just in time. However, I’m afraid we won’t be able to go on a honeymoon right after the wedding. We’ll have to make it up to you in the future."

Although Shitou was trying to comfort Lu Yun with these words, the expression on his face wasn’t relaxed as he suggested. In fact, he felt even more reluctant to part than Lu Yun did.

"Right, I almost forgot about that custom. Don’t worry, I understand. Anyway, I never really expected a honeymoon. Being together as usual is enough to be grateful for, isn’t it?"

Lu Yun’s face flushed, her initial reaction just a reflex. Once her normal thinking resumed, she knew that this separation of over ten days was inevitable.

With her and Shitou’s current workload, she had long since come to terms with having a low-key honeymoon.

Upon hearing this, Shitou touched her head and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, "I will personally make our wedding rings. Do you want a platinum diamond ring, or do you prefer a different gemstone?"

"For everyday wear, don’t use diamonds, or any gemstone for that matter, just plain platinum. Make it the simplest design, just engrave our names on the inside," she replied, raising her hand and spreading her five fingers to look at them without a second thought. "I don’t like to wear anything too intricate on my fingers. In fact, I think the simplest, most streamlined items are the most enduring to look at."

"Alright."

Shitou readily agreed, which was exactly what he had in mind.

Without requiring much worry from Lu Yun and Shitou, their wedding day finally arrived.

When the Pei Family and Lu Family sent out wedding invitations a few days earlier, everyone who received them was surprised, finding it quite sudden.

However, as Lu Yun and Shitou had previously held an engagement party, many guessed that perhaps it was because of Shitou’s age that the Pei Family was hurrying the wedding, and no one speculated about Lu Yun being pregnant.

Of course, this had something to do with how tightly the news of Lu Yun’s pregnancy was kept, known only to a very limited number of people.
