Chapter 392: Chapter 378 Praise

On the day of the wedding, Shitou got up early, dressed up, and at the auspicious hour, he, along with the groomsmen and the photographer, led a convoy of more than a dozen cars mightily out the door to the Lu Family villa to fetch the bride. After a bustling scene, he successfully brought Lu Yun back to the courtyard—

The evening banquet was held at the Capital City Grand Hotel. The streets were packed with cars and people, and the hotel was filled to the brim.

Contrary to the clinking of glasses and the roar of conversations outside, there was only the sound of Feng Sijia’s voice in the resting room.

"Xiuyu must be so annoyed now. Just when she decided to go on a trip, she missed out on the chance to be your bridesmaid, and she didn’t have the pleasure of seeing you in these sets of traditional Han wedding attire. Just you watch, when school starts again, she will be green with envy, haha."

Feng Sijia followed next to Lu Yun, unable to lend a hand and could only watch several makeup artists, hairstylists, and assistants carefully help Lu Yun change out of the previous complicated set of phoenix crown and wedding robe.

Watching them help her change into another set of beautifully embroidered bright red wedding clothes, and finally redo her hair and put on jewelry... Soon, a bride that seemed to step out of a classical painting, full of festive joy, emerged fresh and new.

"Oh my, I originally thought the set you were just in was already perfection, but this set... although it doesn’t look as formal as the one before, it looks even more beautiful."

Feng Sijia’s eyes shone with admiration, "You’ve really changed my perception. Although I always knew our ancestors’ clothing was beautiful, I’ve never seen the real thing. Who would have thought it could be this magnificent? And to think I used to believe that wearing a wedding dress was the pinnacle of bridal beauty."

She stared dreamily at Lu Yun’s clothes, saying, "When I read Cao Zhi’s ’The Goddess of the Luo River,’ where it says ’Her cloud-like hairdo is high above, her brows finely arched. Her bright red lips shine, her white teeth sparkle fresh. Her clear eyes glance wisely, dimples sweetly on her cheeks. Her beauty is unmatched, her presence is serene. Her tender grace surpasses all, more enchanting than speech. Her unique garments are unparalleled in this world, her charm vivid as if sprung from drawings. Adorned with glittering fabrics, she wears dazzling jewels. Her headgear is of gold and emerald, her body reflected by shining pearls.’ I felt it was an exaggeration, but today I am truly witnessing a living Goddess of the Luo walk before my eyes."

"You haven’t stopped talking since this morning. Don’t you ever get thirsty, perhaps you should take a break and have a drink of water?" Even though Lu Yun thought herself to have a thick skin, she blushed red with embarrassment from Feng Sijia’s praise.

"I’m glad I’m not a man, or I really would be parched," Feng Sijia laughed heartily at Lu Yun’s flushed face and couldn’t resist teasing her.

Her words made the busy makeup artists and assistants laugh along with her.

Lu Yun looked around and saw several bottles of mineral water next to the vanity mirror. She gestured to an assistant to bring a bottle over and directly thrust it into Feng Sijia’s hands, "Stop your jabbering. Since yesterday, I’ve been hearing you chatter nonstop, and now your talk is getting more and more outrageous."

"But everything I’ve said is heartfelt."

Feng Sijia unscrewed the bottle and took a few sips of water. She hadn’t noticed her thirst until the cool, slightly sweet water flowed down her throat, and she swiftly drank over half the bottle in just a few gulps.

"Even drinking water can’t keep your mouth shut," Lu Yun scolded affectionately.

"Hehe, alright, I’ll stop talking if you like. I’m afraid if I keep praising you, you’ll get angry with embarrassment. How strange that there are people who don’t like being praised."

Feng Sijia was overjoyed. The idea that Lu Yun would ask her and Wu Xiuyu to be her bridesmaids had been beyond her wildest thoughts, which was a pity because Wu Xiuyu had just happened to go out traveling and certainly would have come otherwise.

Every time Feng Sijia thought back to the moment she received Lu Yun’s phone call, and her aunt, who had always boasted in front of her mother about her own son working at the Lu Group and insinuated that her college degree was of little use, heard that the daughter of the Lu Group was her classmate and had even invited her to be a bridesmaid, Feng Sijia found great satisfaction in her aunt’s ghost-like expression.

"Aren’t you going too far, even bringing up ’The Song of the Fairies’? I was afraid you’d run out of words if we continued, so I kindly let you catch your breath. What else could you possibly complain about?" Lu Yun rolled her eyes.

"Alright, alright, heaven and earth are vast, but today the bride is the greatest."

Feng Sijia chuckled and turned her head towards the door just in time to see Shitou entering in a bright red brocade robe; she let out an exaggerated "wow" and made room, "Here comes the groom, more handsome than Zijian, looking like Pan An."

Lu Yun couldn’t help but laugh when she entered, and Shitou, facing Lu Yun, was also taken aback and looked over.

Feng Sijia shook her head in amusement, obviously proud of her ability to draw attention with just a few words.

"Wife, you look especially beautiful today. At your previous appearance, everyone was full of praise, and they were all asking which master crafted your clothes. If they saw this set on you now, wouldn’t they be absolutely dazzled?"

Shitou quickly turned his gaze back to Lu Yun, reached out his hand, led her out of the resting room, and whispered with a smile as he bent down.

Feng Sijia followed behind, nodding in agreement enthusiastically, yet wisely chose not to speak up this time.

"Really, you’re not just flattering me, are you?" Lu Yun giggled.

"More real than pure gold, there were so many guests offering compliments. Both grandparents from each side were extremely pleased, feeling it brought great honor, and kept boasting about how mother had great foresight. It even made Mom consider having you wear today’s outfit for tomorrow’s wedding in Yushu Village, but she also couldn’t bear the thought of those wedding gowns and dresses not getting their chance to shine."

Talking about Xia Yuan’s dilemma made Shitou laugh even harder.

"Previously, Mom had a hard time deciding, but finally, she took everyone’s suggestions to have a Chinese ceremony here in Capital City, and to use a western wedding dress back in Yushu Village. This way, we get the best of both worlds. And now that the wedding venue decorations are all set up, there’s no going back even if she regrets it."

Lu Yun laughed silently, "Besides, if we really followed her current idea and used the same dress for both, I guess she would regret it afterward all the same."

"That’s what I thought too. I have to say, the clothes and jewelry Mom had made for you this time are just perfect, whether Chinese or Western. But I still prefer the Chinese style. We might as well make a few more sets of modified Hanfu for wearing around the house occasionally," Shitou suggested excitedly.

"Hmm, I also prefer Hanfu. It’s really full of classical charm, and these accessories are indeed more suitable for us Easterners. This is actually a good idea to consider," Lu Yun mused, and suddenly the idea popped into her head to set up a siheyuan with a garden in her own space to live in.
