Chapter 65 Preparing for the Wedding
Su Jinxiu readily agreed, and the Marquis's mansion began preparing for a grand wedding.
The entire Hou residence was filled with jubilation, and everyone's face was beaming with joy. Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling personally directed the wedding preparations, ensuring that every detail was perfect.
First, they set the wedding date, choosing an auspicious day that symbolized good fortune and a long and happy marriage. Then, they began inviting relatives and friends, from high-ranking officials in the capital to chivalrous figures from the martial arts world; the list grew longer and longer.
"We must make this wedding a grand event in the capital," Su Jinxiu said.
The Hou Mansion's kitchen was also bustling with activity. The chefs meticulously designed the wedding banquet menu, striving to ensure that every dish was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate. Meanwhile, the purchasing staff were busy at the market, selecting the finest ingredients.
Meanwhile, Su Jinxiu began selecting her wedding dress. She and her maids traveled throughout the capital's major silk shops, choosing the most luxurious fabrics and the most exquisite embroidery.
"How about this one?" Su Jinxiu asked, holding up a piece of red silk embroidered with a phoenix.
The maids nodded in agreement: "Miss, this is absolutely gorgeous."
Xiao Ling wasn't idle either; he personally oversaw the decoration of the wedding venue. The venue was adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations, and every corner was filled with a romantic atmosphere.
However, the process of preparing for the wedding was not smooth sailing.
Just before the wedding, the artisan responsible for making the wedding jewelry suddenly fell ill and was unable to complete the task on time.
"What should we do?" The manager in charge of the matter was extremely anxious.
Upon learning this, Su Jinxiu immediately sent people to search for other skilled craftsmen.
"No matter what, the jewelry must be finished before the wedding," Su Jinxiu said firmly.
After much effort, they finally found a craftsman willing to help, and together they worked overtime to produce the exquisite jewelry.
However, while setting up the wedding venue, the weather changed again. A sudden downpour damaged many of the newly erected decorations.
Xiao Ling looked at the messy scene, but was not discouraged at all.
"Don't be discouraged, let's start over."
With everyone's concerted efforts, the wedding venue was finally set up before the scheduled date.
But the troubles don't end there.
The wedding band that was originally scheduled to be unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances may significantly dampen the wedding atmosphere.
"Should we find another band to replace them?" Xiao Ling asked worriedly.
Su Jinxiu thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we organize our own band? There are quite a few people in the Marquis's mansion who are good at music."
So, under Su Jinxiu's organization, the Marquis's own band was quickly formed, and after intensive rehearsals, the results were surprisingly good.
With the wedding date approaching, all preparations are finally complete.
However, on the night before the wedding, Su Jinxiu received a mysterious letter.
The letter read, "Your wedding will be a disaster; be careful."
Su Jinxiu frowned, a sense of unease rising in her heart.
"Who wrote this? Is someone trying to ruin our wedding?"
Xiao Ling comforted her, "Jinxiu, don't worry, I'm here, I won't let anyone ruin our happiness."
Nevertheless, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling still strengthened security measures for the wedding.
Finally, the wedding day arrived. The Marquis's mansion was bustling with activity, filled with guests.
But behind this seemingly perfect wedding, will everything really go smoothly?
