About two meters long and one meter wide, it was a very narrow long teahouse. The low paper door was half closed, and a woman wearing ancient Chinese clothing sat opposite the door.
The wall behind her was bare. There were no photos, but there was a simple terracotta flowerpot hanging against the wall. There was an elegant peony in the flowerpot, with three flowers. They were the long-lost Yao Huang, Wei Zi, and Ou Bi.
They bloomed quietly in this constant temperature teahouse.
There was a luxurious Persian wool carpet on the floor, and a red glazed jade vase on the corner of the red sandalwood tea table. There was a white lily of the valley in the vase.
On the tea table, there were no longer grass sticks, but fifty small mahogany sticks.
The woman knelt in front of the tea table, looking at the hexagram drawn on the white paper in front of her.
Lower Xun, Upper Qian, Xi hexagram.
"Madam, what do you think of this hexagram?"
"The forty-fourth hexagram, Xi hexagram. Qian is the sky; Xun is the wind. There is wind in the world, blowing across the earth. Yin and Yang meet, and all things flourish, "the woman murmured.
"Ah? This … isn't it good for people who are getting married? "The middle-aged servant said uneasily.
The woman sneered, "Xi is the meeting of Yin and Yang. But look at the specific hexagram, five Yin and one Yang. Yin flourishes, and Yang declines. They can't live together for long. This marriage divination is not a good divination at all! "
The middle-aged servant was speechless.
She glanced at the woman and said carefully, "But madam, you don't seem to be calculating marriage?"
"Haha, the Dao of Yi moves according to the heart. How can I determine the range?" The woman put away the small mahogany stick, "Where is my grass stick? I want to read another hexagram. "
After changing to mahogany, it was not very stable.
She felt that she should use grass to read it again.
Ten minutes later, looking at the hexagram in front of her, she took a deep breath and suppressed her excitement.
It was still a Xi hexagram, five Yin and one Yang. Even the specific lines were the same.
"… That's great." She stood up leisurely and stroked her hair that was tied up in a bun.
Her expression was calm, and she stretched out her white arm, "Where's my dress? Are you ready? I have to attend a high-standard wedding rehearsal tonight. I don't want to miss it. "
She never regretted her decision.
Men were not the only ones who understood the importance of family and country. Women were no worse than men.
…
The hottest news in the Huaxia Empire recently was, of course, "The Life You Want.
Second Life, "also known as" Second Life "
This was once a very popular large-scale online game.
After being brought to an unprecedented climax by the sudden resurrection of the AI, he was once again reduced to ashes overnight.
The shock it brought to the online community was unparalleled. It even overshadowed the popularity of the "national couple" Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng's upcoming wedding.
These two names had been on the hot search list for a long time.
There was no longer anyone tracking the progress of wedding preparations 24 hours a day and predicting the style of wedding dresses. Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Nianzhi woke up from her 10-day coma and was very happy to hear the news.
If possible, she wanted her wedding to be small, warm, and intimate. She wanted to celebrate it with only the people she was familiar with.
However, with Huo Shaoheng's current status and identity, this was impossible.
Moreover, her father, Lu Jin, would not let go of this opportunity to show off his daughter in front of the world.
Therefore, she was willing to endure it and enjoyed it.
When she woke up from a good sleep, she had recovered most of her energy.
Her skin was fair and delicate, and a faint pink color seeped out from her flawless skin. It was more tender than a freshly peeled lychee.
She sat in front of the dresser and faced a row of newly bought lipsticks. After a long time, she couldn't pick a suitable color.
Huo Shaoheng leaned against her dresser and leaned over to hold the back of her neck. He looked at her carefully for a while and said, "Let me help you."
Gu Nianzhi thought that Huo Shaoheng was going to choose a suitable lipstick color for her, so she quickly pouted.
Her lips were perfectly shaped, and they were already very plump. When they pouted, they looked like a seductive kiss.
Huo Shaoheng hadn't wanted to choose a lipstick color for her, so he kissed her.
He sucked on her lips and looked in the mirror as he kissed her. He didn't let go of her until a beautiful red color appeared.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her lips that were almost "swollen". She wanted to cry but had no tears.
She beat Huo Shaoheng's chest fiercely and said angrily, "How can I face people at night if you're like this?"
Huo Shaoheng smiled and let her hit him. "What's wrong? You think the color isn't good? What's not good? I'll give you some more … "
As he spoke, he pretended to kiss her again.
Gu Nianzhi quickly pushed him away and said angrily, "That's enough. Enough is enough."
After pushing Huo Shaoheng out, she returned to the dresser and looked at her lips again. She found that they were indeed good.
No matter how beautiful the lipstick color was, it was "dead". The color on her lips now was alive.
It was the brightest touch of red in the first bloom of a peony, and it was also the rouge color that was reflected in the sky by the sunset glow. It bloomed quietly on her lips, and it was beautiful without any lipstick. It was a good complexion that no lipstick could bring out.
Gu Nianzhi looked in the mirror for a while and felt that she really didn't need to put on lipstick anymore.
She got up and went to the closet to get the dress that she had already customized.
Although tonight was a wedding rehearsal, the guests were no different from tomorrow, and the ceremonies were exactly the same.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi had also carefully prepared a dress.
It was a top French Haute Couture dress.
She was wearing a Chanel puffy dress with an ivory body and a palm-wide belt around her waist that was carved with small diamonds. It accentuated her high breasts, slender waist, and long legs.
Her slender neck was like a swan, and her shoulders and neck were perfectly proportioned.
&
Arpels' ruby jewelry, a four-leaf clover-shaped ruby and diamond necklace, the same earrings and bracelet, and the engagement ring that Huo Shaoheng had given her, made her look like a walking crystal flower, dazzling and radiant.
However, no matter how beautiful the jewelry was, it couldn't suppress her bright eyes.
She walked out of the suite. Her eyes seemed to have light in them, and they were full of vigor and vitality.
Tonight, it was her turn.
Lu Jin, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, happily went up to her. "My girl is so beautiful!"
He held Gu Nianzhi's hands and looked her up and down.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and chuckled. She held Lu Jin's arm and said softly, "Dad, the tracking video of the system AI you showed me was real, right?"
"Why would I lie to you? But why do you want to see these things? "Lu Jin led her downstairs." You didn't even have a good dinner. "
"I'm really not hungry." Gu Nianzhi actually didn't have an appetite at all because her attention was focused on something else.
"Okay, I know what you're going to do now." Lu Jin patted the back of her hand helplessly. "Tonight is your wedding rehearsal."
"So what? It's not a formal wedding. " Gu Nianzhi grimaced. "Of course I have to clean up the venue so that I can have a carefree wedding!"
Lu Jin laughed and walked down the spiral staircase with her.
Huo Shaoheng was already waiting downstairs in a custom-made black tuxedo.
Gu Nianzhi had never seen Huo Shaoheng in a tuxedo before, so she couldn't take her eyes off him.
"Major General Huo, you look so good in that …" Gu Nianzhi's eyes flashed with amazement and infatuation.
Huo Shaoheng leaned over and kissed her on the lips. "Nianzhi, you're so beautiful, especially the lipstick. This color is so beautiful."
"Of course." Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly. "This is called seduction."
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and calmly led her into the car.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the middle of the back seat, while Huo Shaoheng and Lu Jin sat on either side of her.
Gu Nianzhi held Huo Shaoheng's arm with one hand and Lu Jin's arm with the other. She sighed in satisfaction. "My life is complete."
She was a contented girl.
Contentment led to constant happiness.
..
Not long after, the group arrived at the venue for tonight's wedding rehearsal.
This used to be one of the ancient centers of power of the Huaxia Empire. It had red walls and green tiles, and the lanterns were lit.
On the wide venue, rows of comfortable sofas, tables, and chairs were placed in a semi-arc.
The guests had arrived early. They were holding red wine and food from the long dining tables around them. They ate and drank as they chatted casually.
These were all carefully cooked by the world's top chefs, specially prepared for tonight's wedding rehearsal.
Time ticked by. Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng walked into the wedding rehearsal. The symphony orchestra hidden in the dark quickly played the "Wedding March".
The guests quickly looked up and saw the bridegroom, Huo Shaoheng, and the bridegroom, Gu Nianzhi, walking over on the red carpet.
The newlyweds were too good-looking, and their temperament was outstanding, but they weren't superior. They made people envious, but also made people feel close to them.
No one paid attention to the newlyweds' clothes and jewelry.
All the jewelry Gu Nianzhi was wearing today was worth tens of millions of dollars, but it wasn't as eye-catching as her simple smile.
Lu Jin walked over and looked around. Finally, he found a seat between Zhao Liangze and Chen Lie and sat down. He didn't sit next to Lu Yuan and Song Jinning.
Zhao Liangze and Chen Lie were full of admiration for him. When they saw him sitting next to them, they couldn't wait to serve him like a Buddha.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng walked in, but neither of them noticed.
Lu Jin saw Gu Nianzhi's gaze sweep across the venue. Finally, it landed in a corner and stopped for a few seconds.
Most of the guests sitting there had come in with invitations.
For example, Ula Emma, who was born in India, grew up in London, studied in the United States, and suddenly became the largest federal military contractor in the United States at the age of 30.
There was also Minako Yamaguchi, the president of Yamaguchi Corporation, who lived in the mountains of Ohio in the United States all year round.
Of course, there was also the Chilean mining tycoon, who wore a dark purple cheongsam and had an elegant and virtuous temperament, like an orchid in an empty valley.
