Chapter 316 Return
Upstairs, Zhao Qianqian, who was dressed up in full bloom, had already taken off her white wedding dress and changed into a Chinese wedding dress. She was sitting in front of the dressing table, tidying her headdress and hairstyle. Seeing Bai Xiao coming up, she waved to her and said, "Xiaoxiao, come and help me see, is this headdress worn in a crooked manner?"
Bai Xiao walked over, looked down at the headdress on her head, and was slightly amazed. It was a vivid three-dimensional carved jewelry with a phoenix crown in the center, and drooping tassels on both sides. The flowers gathered together, and the complex shape complemented the bright red tight dragon and phoenix jacket on her body, which perfectly highlighted the beauty of the bride.
According to legend, this "phoenix crown" was originally the highest ritual crown for Chinese women, and the shifeng was also the ward of the concubines. As for worshiping heaven and earth, it was even more of the emperor's suburbs of heaven. It was not something that ordinary people could practice? However, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Ma, who was born in a civilian, was particularly kind to allow folk women to commit usurpation on the day of marriage, which meant that gorgeous and wealth was like a "king". From then on, married with a shifeng crown and shifeng became the symbol of the Ming media's formal marriage.
Therefore, even women who use Western wedding dresses often change back to Chinese dresses when they are toasting.
"I didn't wear it in a crooked manner." Bai Xiao reached out and put his hand on the phoenix crown to support him. By the way, he took two long hairpins from Zhao Qianqian's hand, carefully inserted them to both sides of her hair bun, and took a step back to watch, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"
Although I had seen Zhao Qianqian wear today's look yesterday, after putting on makeup, it really gave people a completely different feeling.
After hearing this, Zhao Qianqian raised her lips slightly and showed a smile on her face: "Isn't you complimenting me?"
"Of course not." Bai Xiao shook her head quickly. She really felt beautiful and made people shine.
Zhao Qianqian smiled, turned her head in the mirror, and flirted with the golden chain tassel that drooped to her ears with satisfaction, and said to Bai Xiao: "There should be a hurry to wait below."
"That's right, the guests are waiting for the bride and groom to come over to toast." Bai Xiao replied with a smile.
Zhao Qianqian stood up and said to Ye Jing, who had already changed into a Chinese wedding outfit on the side: "Then let's go down, toast early, and to rest early."
It takes a long time to toast, and because it is a banquet for the man, it is relatively not so rush, so it is often hard to prevent some kind-hearted difficulties from the elders. "Okay, let's go down."
As he said that, Ye Jing and Zhao Qianqian walked to the main hall of the auditorium. Seeing this, Bai Xiao carried his bag and followed him.
According to traditional etiquette, the toast of the newcomer starts with the groom's uncle's table. This is because among the people's closeness and distantness, the uncle has had a special status since ancient times. As the saying goes, "The most delicious thing is the dragon meat, and the most close thing is the uncle", it refers to the relationship between the nephew and the uncle. A simple logic is that, as a relative of the mother, the uncle has the least natural conflict between the uncle and the nephew, compared with the uncle who has direct conflicts in the distribution of property with the newcomer, the uncle and the nephew have the least natural conflict, and at the critical moment, it is the best candidate to uphold justice.
Therefore, when a newlyweds get married, first of all, respecting their uncle is equivalent to asking them to make a promise to help them in the future.
During the toast, the best man and bridesmaid were accompanied throughout the whole process, and Bai Xiao was naturally accompanied by her. In addition to carrying her bag, she also held two spare small wine glasses in her hand.
After going down from table to table, some guests had to hurry back after drinking, so they said a few blessings to the newlyweds and left.
Several important guests were sent out of the auditorium by the newlyweds.
After returning, he continued to toast those who had never given him a drink. In this way, the lively wedding lasted until eight o'clock. Ye Jing took Zhao Qianqian and then sent the guests away one by one. During this period, the best man and bridesmaid were about to leave. The two newlyweds gave them souvenirs prepared in advance and arranged for them to stay at the nearest hotel.
Bai Xiao also had to go back to rest after taking the gift. At nine o'clock in the evening, when she walked out of the auditorium with Bai Zhendong, the stars in the sky were shining, and the bright moon finally revealed its true appearance from the dark sky. This was a crescent moon. From a distance, it seemed like a big cake that had been eaten away, half-dead hanging in a corner of the night sky, looking deep and regretful.
Bai Xiao had worked hard for a day, and was raising her head to praise her, but suddenly she shivered and felt her lower abdomen swelling slightly. She lowered her head and thoughtfully, and turned to frown. She instantly seemed to be a general who had suffered a defeat, and her expression suddenly became unhappy.
It's the end of the month again, and this damn trouble came as promised. She didn't have time to think about it anymore, so she quickly urged Bai Zhendong to return to the hotel.
"What's wrong?" Bai Zhendong asked in confusion when he looked at his daughter with a strange look.
"Ahem, it's okay." Bai Xiao stuttered and said with a dodge. She didn't know how to tell her dad about such a thing. Her eyebrows looked at the auditorium, and suddenly a flash of inspiration told Bai Zhendong: "I'll go back first, wait for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, she ran back without waiting for Bai Zhendong to react. Bai Zhendong looked at her back suspiciously, frowned slightly and thought about something, took out a pack of cigarette from his pocket, took out a piece of cigarette, lit it, and stood at the door of the auditorium to smoke.
After a while, Bai Xiao came back, no different from when she left, but Bai Zhendong noticed that her cheeks seemed a little rosy.
"Dad, are you smoking?" Looking at Bai Zhendong with a cigarette butt in one hand, Bai Xiao frowned. Bai Zhendong is not addicted to smoking, and because he knows that his family doesn't like to smoke second-hand cigarettes, he usually doesn't smoke in front of his family.
Seeing that Bai Xiao expressed his dissatisfaction to him, Bai Zhendong smiled and snatched the cigarette butts: "Looking at you going back, I thought it would take a lot of time, so I smoked a cigarette to relieve my boredom."
"What, it's done?"
"Um."
"Let's go." Bai Zhendong smiled lightly and shook his head, walked side by side with Bai Xiao, patting her shoulder, "I'm so irritable, I'm already a girl, can I forget such an important thing? Remember to prepare in advance next time."
"Well, ah?" Bai Xiao nodded subconsciously, suddenly opened his mouth and exclaimed, looking at his dad incredibly.
"Don't, how can I not know this little bit?" Bai Zhendong smiled, "Before he came, your mother told me, asking me to remind you, I originally thought you were all a big girl, and I had several more experiences that should be clear. I thought the father and daughter said this was not good, so I didn't mention it. Who knew you really forgot."
Bai Xiao's pretty face turned slightly red when she heard this: "I remembered everything I had already brought it, but it was a bit uncomfortable to cushion in advance, and there was no such sign..."
Bai Zhendong nodded understandingly: "Then didn't stain my pants, right?"
"No, I haven't come yet." Bai Xiao shook his head subconsciously, and suddenly reacted. She glared and said, "Oh, no, why are we talking about this? This is not like the topic that father and daughter should talk about."
"I'm still shy." Bai Zhendong smiled leisurely. Looking at his daughter's angry eyes, he scratched Bai Xiao's head, "Let's go, I'm exhausted today, go back and have a good rest."
"Yes." Bai Xiao nodded and walked towards the hotel with Bai Zhendong.
...
The next morning, Bai Xiao came to Ye Jing and Zhao Qianqian's new house early.
Zhao Qianqian was the bride for the first time, because she had her own new family and new house, she was busy lighting up the decorations inside the house. Seeing Bai Xiao coming in, she hurriedly invited her to sit down.
"How is it? Have you had breakfast?" Zhao Qianqian asked with a smile while filling her a packet of brown sugar water.
Looking at the brown sugar water handed to him, Bai Xiao frowned and said, "I have eaten it. I came here to see you, but seeing how you look, I seem to be happy, so I should say goodbye after sitting for a while."
"No, it's rare to come here and talk to me." Zhao Qianqian said hurriedly.
"Where is my cousin's husband?"
"He is still asleep..."
"Did you work hard last night?"
"Go, what are you talking about tigers and wolves?" Zhao Qianqian was stunned, then she gave Bai Xiao a blank look and cursed: "If I hadn't known that you were a woman and my aunt happened to come, I would have beaten you!"
Bai Xiao laughed and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhao Qianqian had no choice but to do anything to her. Moreover, because they were both girls, they didn't care about her making such dirty jokes.
"Did you buy the ticket?" Zhao Qianqian asked instead.
After attending Zhao Qianqian's wedding this time, Bai Xiao will set off to return to Donghai Province. Of course, Bai Zhendong is also with her. The first stop of the two was Quanting City, the capital of Donghai Province. The Bai family wanted to increase their efforts to train Bai Xiao, so Bai Zhendong would take her to the Donghai Branch of the Yuling Administration Bureau to implement it.
"Well, the high-speed rail is more than five hours in the whole journey. Fortunately, it is a business seat and you can rest."
After hearing this, Zhao Qianqian said nothing, and was silent for a while, saying, "I originally wanted to keep you here for a few days, but it's September in a blink of an eye, so you should go back to school."
"Yes, I'm going to school again." Bai Xiao sighed, feeling that his summer vacation seemed to have just begun and ended. But thinking about it carefully, it was not the case. I calmed down and recalled that Bai Xiao found that he had done a lot of things in the past few months and was indeed quite busy.
Moreover, after the start of school, I will be a senior student. The academic burden in the last year of my senior year is not particularly heavy, but for biology students, how to do a good job in graduation design is also a headache. Shortly after I go back, I will probably choose a tutor to prepare a graduation design proposal report, and then write a essay to conduct on-site defense of the defense group. After the defense is passed, the experiment will be carried out according to the plan. The experiment cycle will be as fast as half a semester and one semester will be slower. Finally, I will write a graduation thesis based on the experimental results and pass the graduation defense.
Bai Xiao has already predicted that he will spend most of his time in school in the laboratory.
After sitting at Zhao Qianqian's house for a while, at about ten o'clock, Ye Jing came out of the new house and saw Bai Xiao coming, he hurried forward and greeted her enthusiastically.
Of course, Bai Xiao joked about him again, then got up and prepared to say goodbye. Zhao Qianqian did not try to keep him this time, and it was noon soon. She would clean up later and go out to visit her parents-in-law as a "bride".
He sent Bai Xiao to the door, and Bai Xiao waved his hand and told them not to send him off. Then he put his hands in his pockets and left with great ease.
When he returned to the hotel, Bai Zhendong had already returned and was packing his luggage inside.
"Dad, the vehicle is checked out?" Bai Xiao stepped forward and asked.
When Bai Zhendong saw her coming back, he nodded and smiled: "It's done! I'll be able to deliver the car tomorrow morning!"
This time they took the high-speed rail back to Donghai Province, and Bai Xiao's Maserati had to find a special consignment company to consign 1,300 kilometers and transport it directly from Luojing City to Quanting City.
Bai Xiao nodded and packed up his belongings a little. After confirming that there was no omission, he with Bai Zhendong and rushed to Luojing Railway Station.
