Chapter 485 Tie the Knot
Most people in ancient times liked to marry relatives. As a time traveler, she knew the interests involved, which would directly affect the physical and mental health of the next generation. No matter how much she liked him, it was impossible for her to have a relationship with Si Chengxu.
She could feel that Si Chengxu cared about her very much and was very good to her family, but feelings were not something that could be repaid.
"I don't think so much about it. The fact is right in front of us, you just don't admit it. Having said that, I think you two are quite suitable. Do you want to consider it?" Zhou Lingfei really cared about Li Xiaoxiao. Now that she was engaged, of course she had to care about her good sister.
"What's there to consider? Matters like feelings are hard to predict." Li Xiaoxiao did not deny it, but did not admit it either.
Blood relationship is a huge gap between her and Si Chengxu, and it cannot be crossed.
As the two were talking, they heard the sound of gongs and drums outside. It seemed that Gu Feiyan had arrived.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm going to tell you something, and you are not allowed to laugh at me." Zhou Lingfei looked outside, unable to conceal the excitement in her eyes.
"Tell me, I promise not to laugh at you." Li Xiaoxiao was happy for her from the bottom of her heart when she saw her happy look. Zhou Lingfei had been waiting for so long, and finally she got what she wanted.
"I'll tell you." Zhou Lingfei leaned close to Li Xiaoxiao's ear and said a few words with a blushing face. After she finished speaking, her face turned even redder.
"Don't worry, girl. I will only laugh at you openly, not behind your back." Li Xiaoxiao laughed after hearing this.
Zhou Lingfei said that she liked Gu Feiyan. She liked him to such an extent that she had dreamed of marrying him several times.
"Hmph, I should have known not to tell you. Now you come to make fun of me again." Zhou Lingfei was annoyed and pretended to hit her.
"Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you anymore. This kind of thing is very normal. What's there to not talk about?" Li Xiaoxiao finally stopped and stopped playing with her.
The betrothal gift sent by Gu Feiyan could be considered extremely generous in the capital. Although it was not as generous as a ten-mile red wedding dress, it still consisted of sixty-six large mahogany boxes.
Gu Feiyan was the only son in the family, and his wedding was naturally a grand occasion. The two families were well matched, and of course, the wife of the censor prepared a lot of dowry for Zhou Lingfei.
Gu Feiyan was wearing bright red clothes today. He had been looking for Zhou Lingfei since he came to the Censorate. However, according to the rules, the two could not meet now.
The housekeeper who came with Gu Feiyan read the long list of betrothal gifts for a long time before he finally finished it. The Censor's wife and the Censor were laughing so hard that they couldn't stop.
The reason why they were happy was not because the betrothal gifts were large, but because the marriage was chosen by their daughter herself. As parents in the world, which one does not want their child to marry the husband of their dreams?
The bigger the family like theirs, the harder it is to find true love. Most marriages are family alliances to consolidate the status of the two families.
When Zhou Lingfei came out, Gu Feiyan wanted to glue his eyes to her. After just one day's absence, he felt that Zhou Lingfei had become much more beautiful.
Of course it looks good, and all this is thanks to Li Xiaoxiao. As a time traveler, she has a lot of cosmetics in her space. With just a little modification on the original basis, she can achieve unexpected results.
Noticing Gu Feiyan's naked gaze, Zhou Lingfei was too embarrassed to look up at him. She lowered her head and held Li Xiaoxiao's arm tightly with both hands.
The Censor's wife looked at her daughter's little action and smiled with satisfaction, but at the same time she felt quite emotional, as she remembered that the last time the Censor almost betrothed Zhou Lingfei to the son of the Marquis of Dingguo.
Zhou Lingfei was firmly opposed at the time. Fortunately, the son of Marquis Dingguo got into a scandal later, otherwise her daughter would have been jumping into a fire pit if she married him.
What she didn't know was that all of this was secretly operated by Li Xiaoxiao.
Everything went smoothly, and in the blink of an eye, it was their wedding day.
It was a sunny day with not a single cloud in the sky.
Li Xiaoxiao took great pains to give Zhou Lingfei wedding gifts. There were quite a few things in her space, but none of them were presentable.
At that time, gold and silver were the most valuable and also the best way to show sincerity, so she asked Si Chengxu to buy two sets of pearl and agate head ornaments for her, and she also ordered two sets of head ornaments from the most famous silver shop in the capital.
They were made of pure gold and were finely crafted, all of them of superb quality, almost comparable to those worn by the ladies in the imperial palace.
Since coming to the capital, Zhou Lingfei and she have developed a life-long friendship. As Zhou Lingfei's marriage is an important event, gift giving naturally cannot be careless.
The wedding was very lively. Li Ruolan also came and gave Zhou Lingfei a set of jewelry, which was also of the best quality.
"Thank you, Sister Ruolan." Zhou Lingfei was particularly beautiful today. Her figure was graceful, like a blooming flower, so beautiful that one could not take their eyes away.
"What's there to thank me for? It's not a valuable thing. Just as long as you like it." Looking at Zhou Lingfei's bright red wedding dress, Li Ruolan's eyes darkened and she felt a little bitter in her heart.
In fact, there is someone living in her heart, but she dare not tell anyone because she doesn't know whether that person likes her as well.
Even if we don’t talk about it now, we still run into each other occasionally, but if we make it known, I guess in the future even if we walk on opposite sides, we will deliberately avoid each other.
So, even though Li Xiaoxiao asked several times, she kept silent.
When returning home the next day, Li Xiaoxiao and Li Ruolan came to the banquet together.
On the wedding day, a banquet will be held at the man’s home. When the bride returns home the next day, another banquet will be held at the woman’s home to entertain relatives, friends and guests.
Li Xiaoxiao, Li Ruolan, and several other women from Beijing sat at the same table.
Si Chengxu also came today, and Si Yi and Si Er followed him. The table was not far away from them.
Because she was sitting next to Li Ruolan, Li Xiaoxiao noticed that Li Ruolan would occasionally look at the male guest over there.
Looking in the direction she was heading, it was actually Si Chengxu's table. Because there was only one table of guests in that direction, Li Xiaoxiao was sure that Li Ruolan was looking at them.
Li Xiaoxiao calmly withdrew his gaze and secretly glanced at Li Ruolan. Seeing her lowered head and a look of resentment on her face, he suddenly had an idea.
Could it be that Li Ruolan has always refused to get married because she likes Si Chengxu?
With this thought, Li Xiaoxiao immediately lost her composure. She and Li Ruolan were sisters, and were also blood relatives to Si Chengxu, so she could not marry him.
But looking at Li Ruolan's expression, it was obvious that she had liked him for a long time. Since she knew that things could not be done, she could not let it happen.
She must stop it, even if Li Ruolan will blame her.
