Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 185 Ancient Times (39)

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the wedding.

Prior to this, Li Xiangyi specially wrote a letter and sent someone to Qingyun Town to sincerely invite Ji Xiao's uncle and his family to attend their wedding ceremony. At the same time, the two parties also agreed to meet at a specific location, and Li Xiangyi would personally go to welcome them to the clan's land.

The route chosen for this trip was not the old route, but a new one. However, because Li Xiangyi used his unique skill, the Posuo Step, he could easily climb over the mountains and ridges, and his speed was amazing. Because of this, when others had not yet arrived, Li Xiangyi had already arrived at the destination first.

After arriving, Li Xiangyi did not sit around and wait, but immediately purchased a large number of wedding supplies. After sending these items home and letting others help to sort and arrange them, he returned to the original place and waited for his uncle's family to arrive.

On this auspicious day, the sky is clear blue and cloudless; the breeze blows gently across your face. It is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival again, and the whole village seems to be magically glowing with a new splendor. Every household is decorated with lights, big red lanterns are hung high, colorful silks flutter in the wind, and lanterns of various shapes are dotted in between, and the atmosphere is filled with joy, festivity and peace.

In the early morning, the sun was still shining brightly in the clouds, revealing a hint of reddish glow. Ji Xiao was gently awakened from her sleep by her aunt and a group of female elders from the clan.

Then, surrounded by them, a series of tedious but ritualistic processes began: when bathing, the warm and clear spring water rippled layer by layer, like a poem or a painting; when doing the face, the delicate and gentle movements made people feel comfortable and happy; when dressing, the exquisite hair accessories and makeup complemented each other, beautiful beyond words. Each step was like a visual feast, intoxicating and inextricable.

From bathing to dressing, and finally changing into the gorgeous wedding dress, this series of lengthy processes actually took more than two hours!

An ordinary person might have been overwhelmed by the burden long ago, but Ji Xiao did not show any signs of fatigue.

Firstly, as a practitioner, it goes without saying that she has a strong body and abundant energy; secondly, today is another journey in her life, which is of great significance, so how can she slack off at all?

After everything was ready, Ji Xiao finally put on the wedding dress that had taken her clansmen two months to make, working day and night.

Despite the rush of time, the wedding dress was still exquisite and gorgeous, especially the dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered on it, which were so lifelike that they seemed as if they were about to burst through the clothes.

This pair of dragon and phoenix not only symbolizes auspiciousness and wealth, but also carries the most sincere and deepest blessings of the entire family, young and old, to the two.

After everything was ready, Ji Xiao took a deep breath and slowly sat down in front of the exquisite dressing table. She gently stroked the smooth mirror surface and stared at herself in the mirror, her eyes revealing endless tenderness and joy.

That beautiful face was filled with happiness and anticipation, as if the whole world became especially beautiful because of the upcoming wedding.

At this moment, a light sound of footsteps came into my ears. It turned out that my aunt came in, holding an exquisite fan in her hand. The fan was carefully placed aside, and it was obviously specially prepared for this special day.

The aunt handed the fan to Ji Xiao with a smile, and whispered, "Child, use it to cover your face."

"Okay, thank you, aunt."

Ji Xiao took the fan, feeling its delicate texture and faint fragrance.

This fan is not just a decoration, it also carries Li Xiangyi's deep love for her.

Because every pattern and every accessory was made by him bit by bit with great care. These details all show his delicacy and affection.

On the other side, Li Xiangyi had also been dressed. He was wearing a gorgeous red wedding gown embroidered with ancient auspicious beasts and sprinkled with gold. He looked handsome, elegant and dignified.

He had a gorgeous gold-inlaid jade belt wrapped around his waist, shining with dazzling light; on his head he wore a jade crown carefully carved from the finest red jadeite, with a matching jade hairpin inserted on it.

Today his attire is more elegant and luxurious than before, appropriately showing his noble temperament and graceful demeanor.

Such demeanor reminds people of the poem: "The man on the road is like jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world."

At this time, he was followed by a group of happy people who came together to pick up Ji Xiao, and at the same time they also accepted the test from Ji Xiao's brother.

Along the way, students from the primary school also gathered around and gave their sincere blessings. Amidst the laughter and joy, Li Xiangyi led everyone to successfully pass many tests.

Then, Li Xiangyi carefully pushed the slightly open door. At this moment, the sunlight outside shone through the crack of the door onto him, outlining a golden outline. He slowly walked towards Ji Xiao who was sitting in the room.

His steps were steady and graceful, each step was full of strength and determination, and also revealed his deep affection for Ji Xiao.

As he got closer and closer, Ji Xiao's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and an indescribable expectation and joy surged in her heart. She stared at Li Xiangyi, her eyes sparkling with joy, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

When their eyes met again, time seemed to stop for a moment. Their eyes contained endless tenderness and love, as if they could penetrate the depths of each other's souls.

His steps were as light as if he was treading on clouds, as if he was afraid of waking something up. He walked slowly into the room, approached Ji Xiao step by step, and finally stood in front of her.

When their eyes met again, it was like two lightning bolts colliding in the air to create brilliant sparks. Their eyes were filled with deep affection and endless attachment, as if they wanted to integrate each other into the depths of their souls.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze and no longer flow; everything around them gradually became blurred, only their gazes staring at each other were clearly visible.

The whole world seemed to be shrouded in the hot and rich emotions between them, and everything else seemed insignificant and unimportant.

In this small space, there were only the two of them, and the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeats intertwined into a beautiful symphony. Their hearts were connected at this moment, and they could understand each other's thoughts and feelings without words.

This tacit understanding makes them feel extremely happy and satisfied, but at the same time it also makes them afraid - afraid that this beauty will suddenly disappear.

However, despite all the worries and anxieties in their hearts, they still choose to face the relationship in front of them bravely and cherish each other.

And in this wonderful moment, Ji Xiao deeply felt that the man in front of her - Li Xiangyi, was exactly the ideal husband she had always dreamed of!

Because at this stunning moment, he was like a peerless hero wearing golden armor and stepping on colorful clouds. He descended before her like a god and came to marry his sweetheart home.

At this moment, Ji Xiao was even more beautiful in Li Xiangyi's eyes, very different from her usual self. Today, she was like a blooming peony, revealing a different kind of charm in her coldness, graceful and beautiful, making people unforgettable.

Li Xiangyi didn't know if others felt the same way, because this was the first thought that came to his mind when he saw her. At this moment, he just wanted to hide her deep inside, so that this unparalleled beauty would be his alone.

However, all this happened in a flash, and in a flash, the people around them interrupted the two people's affectionate gaze. Because time was tight, they did not have time to immerse themselves in this deep affection.

"Okay, we all know that you two love each other, but time waits for no one, you have to hurry up!"

"Yes, yes, quick, quick!"

Everyone got busy. Originally, Ji Xiao was supposed to be carried on her brother's back when she went out to get married. But Li Xiangyi, possessive, did not let Ji Xiao's uncle's brother carry her out, but picked her up and walked out. After he placed her on the beautiful flower car he designed and built, he personally drove the flower car around the village, and finally took her back to the ancestral hall to hold the wedding ceremony.

Ji Xiao was quite amazed by the shape of the float! This was her first time seeing it, with layers of red silk hanging all around, embroidered with beautiful peonies and hibiscus.

The outside of the float is full of flowers, it is simply a small mobile flower bed. The space inside the float is also very large, with thick cushions embroidered with ancient mythical beasts, which is really luxurious and grand.

And Ji Xiao knew at a glance that Li Xiangyi had driven this float here himself, because four horses were used at the same time, and she believed that it attracted countless people's attention along the way!

So Ji Xiao whispered in his ear, "Xiang Yi, the word thank you can no longer express what I am thinking, but I am very happy to marry you!"

Li Xiangyi responded to her in a low voice, "Xiaoxiao, from now on there is no need for us to thank each other. For the rest of my life, I will do my best to give you what I can."

"Well, holding hands, the love is as deep as the sea."

Everything that happened today was a brand new experience for Ji Xiao, because she had never had such an experience in the several worlds she had been through.

Because her previous weddings were all Western-style, although there were also traditional Chinese wedding scenes, they could not compare with this one.

Because everything she was experiencing at that moment was so solemn, grand and spectacular.

The emotions of young people are always passionate and beautiful, so Ji Xiao cherishes all the present time.

And she will remember this wedding for the rest of her life.
