Chapter 191 Wedding
"Are you done?" Shen Xiaoxiao's voice was filled with a hint of coquettishness. She closed her eyes tightly, her mouth slightly curled, and seemed a little helpless, but you could see the happiness on her face without looking closely.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now." Xiao Yan smiled, and Shen Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes. Although she already knew what Xiao Yan was doing, she couldn't help but be shocked when she really saw it. He actually made it, and each one was very exquisitely made.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at herself in the mirror with a phoenix crown, hairpin and other exquisite jewelry, and her eyebrows became softer.
These were all made by Xiao Yan according to her requirements, and they were all gold. She didn't have much hope at first, but later Xiao Yan went to many places to find gold, and he learned to forge. At first, the ones he made were very rough, but slowly he became more and more skilled, and now he can even make some very fine ones.
It took him a long time to make the ones she wore on her head, and each one took a lot of thought.
Xiao Yan hugged her from behind, his eyes full of smiles, "Xiao Xiao, let's hold the wedding."
"Okay." Shen Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile. She knew that he had always been thinking about this matter, and she had already made the wedding dresses for the two of them. Now the tribe grows a lot of cotton every year, and the tribe has used cotton cloth. Even winter clothes are made of cotton. They also wear cloth shoes on their feet. In winter, they will add a layer of velvet inside to keep warm. In summer, they wear clogs, and straw shoes are rarely worn.
"I will definitely not let you have any regrets." Xiao Yan promised.
Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head. What he did made her feel that she did not choose the wrong person. She has been here for so long and can be said to have not suffered any grievances. She lives a very comfortable life. Except that it is not as convenient as modern times, everything else is good.
The two set the wedding date for three days later. In the past few days, they hung red silk and red lanterns in their home. Others came to help when they knew they were going to hold a wedding. They were very curious and wanted to know what the wedding would be like. They all knew how much preparation Xiao Yan had made for this day. Not to mention the jewelry he made, it took a long time to weave and dye the wedding dress made by the goddess, and embroider patterns on it to make clothes.
They had seen the wedding dress made by the goddess, which looked better than what they usually wore, and it was more grand. They couldn't imagine how beautiful the goddess would be in this wedding dress.
Three days passed in a flash. On the wedding day, Shen Xiaoxiao got up early in the morning, washed her face, and put on a simple makeup. Other people who came to help also came in from the door. Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao applying something on her face, curiosity flashed in their eyes. When she finished all the steps and put on lipstick, they felt that the goddess was like a different person.
"Goddess, you are so beautiful."
"Yes, the goddess put it on her face and she seemed to be a different person."
"Do you want to learn?"
"Yes." Everyone looked at her with bright eyes. This thing is too powerful. They also want to be beautiful.
"Then I will teach you." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled, "This is called makeup. What I have in my hand is cosmetics, which can make me look better." This is made by herself. Lipstick, foundation, eyebrow pencil... She made all the things needed for daily makeup. Although it is not complete, it is enough.
"Great." They couldn't help cheering.
"But we have to wait until after the wedding. I will teach you then." Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing.
"Okay."
"Goddess, what is the wedding like?"
"You will know later." After a pause, "When two people make a covenant, they can hold a wedding to announce to the heaven and earth, ancestors and parents, and let other people know that you two have made a covenant." He added, "Of course, this is just a formality, not a must."
She put on the wedding dress. Because it imitated ancient clothing, it was a bit complicated to put on. After putting on the phoenix crown and hair accessories, she put on the outer robe. The peony, dragon and phoenix and other patterns on the wedding dress were mostly sewn with gold thread.
If it were according to the ancient process, there should be a full-blessed lady, but she also forgot how to say those auspicious words, so she saved a lot of procedures. Hearing the sound of firecrackers outside, Shen Xiaoxiao covered her head with a red veil.
Soon Xiao Yan came in with people. They also set up some door-blocking games at the door, but they were just for the sake of festivity and they would soon pass the level.
Looking at the person sitting there quietly, Xiao Yan was excited. Although they had already made a covenant, he couldn't control himself on the wedding day.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm here to pick you up." Xiao Yan handed the other end of the handkerchief to her. Shen Xiaoxiao took it and stood up. The two walked out of the door. For this day, Xiao Yan even rebuilt a house, just because Shen Xiaoxiao said that she had no family here, and she could marry anywhere.
He didn't want Xiaoxiao to regret not marrying from her own family when she remembered this matter in the future, so he rebuilt a house as a new house, and this one was Xiaoxiao's. If he made Xiaoxiao angry in the future, she would not be homeless. Of course, he would never do that.
He led Shen Xiaoxiao to the sedan chair, and Xiao Yan also rode on the horse. There were several flower girls in front of him scattering flowers, and the people who sent the bride followed behind. Of course, they were all people from the tribe. It can be said that Xiao Yan made full preparations for this day.
He circled the tribe according to the route that had been planned long ago, blowing and beating along the way. When the people in the new house saw the team, they lit the hanging firecrackers. Xiao Yan led Shen Xiaoxiao down from the sedan chair, and the sound of firecrackers stopped after she entered the new house for a long time.
Then they worshiped heaven and earth. Xiao Yan's parents were no longer around, so they worshipped his parents' tablets. After the ceremony, Shen Xiaoxiao returned to her room and changed into a set of convenient clothes to entertain the guests. She had brewed wine in the past few years, and now they would drink a little when they were happy. Today was such a big day that they would not miss it.
All the wine they offered to Shen Xiaoxiao was blocked by Xiao Yan. After they finished toasting everyone, Qingshan and others directly pulled Xiao Yan aside and poured him one cup after another. On such a happy day, Xiao Yan did not refuse, but until they were all a little drunk, Xiao Yan was still as calm as a rock.
After they were drunk, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It was already evening when the banquet was over, so he asked others to send the drunk people back. Xiao Yan then returned to the bridal chamber, and Shen Xiaoxiao had already washed up.
Xiao Yan walked towards her with a somewhat frivolous step, and then hugged her, "Xiao Xiao, now, are we a real couple?"
Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, "Silly, even if there is no wedding, we have already been a couple."
"This is different." Xiao Yan shook his head. He wanted to have her completely according to her rules, so that she could accompany him forever, right? In fact, Xiao Yan has always been worried in his heart, but he just didn't show it.
"What's different?" Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile. Seeing that he didn't speak, she patted his shoulder again, "Okay, go wash up first, I've already prepared water for you."
"Then wait for me."
"Okay."
