Chapter 142 "Xiaoxiao, I'm here to pick you up!"
Late at night, Li Xiaoxiao lay in bed, gazing at the starry sky outside the window. She silently said to Yun Che in her heart, "No matter how far away you are, I will be here waiting for you until you return with happiness."
Meanwhile, Yun Che was galloping towards the capital, his heart equally filled with longing and anticipation for Li Xiaoxiao. He knew that the woman he was about to marry wasn't just a woman, but also a person of deep affection and commitment. Though separated by thousands of miles, their hearts remained firmly connected.
After Yun Che returned to the capital, he immediately threw himself into the busy wedding preparations. He knew that this wedding was not only related to his personal happiness, but also a major event for two families, and there was no room for carelessness.
Inside his residence in the capital, Yun Che summoned the housekeeper, the accountant, and the servants responsible for all matters related to the wedding to review every detail. From confirming the guest list, to selecting the banquet menu, to arranging the wedding ceremony, he personally oversaw everything, striving for perfection.
At the same time, Yun Che also sent a special person to Jiangnan to select the finest silk as the material for the wedding dress. He knew that although Li Xiaoxiao came from the countryside, she had a unique pursuit and taste for beauty, and he hoped that she could become the most dazzling bride at the wedding.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaoxiao was also busy in Lijia Village. Although she couldn't travel to the capital to participate in the wedding preparations in person, she kept in close contact with Yun Che through letters, keeping an eye on the wedding's progress. She decided to prepare a special gift for Yun Che before the wedding—a hand-painted painting of the capital's scenery.
Every day, just as the sun rose, Li Xiaoxiao sat in the courtyard, spread out the rice paper, picked up the paintbrush, and began to depict the capital city in her mind. With the help of her description of Yun Che and what she had seen and heard in the capital city before, she blended the prosperity and simplicity of the capital city into one, pouring her heart and soul into every stroke.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, only two weeks were left until the wedding. Yun Che sent over the wedding invitations, an exquisite wedding dress, and a jade pendant inlaid with gemstones as a token of love. Li Xiaoxiao was filled with excitement and anticipation when she received these gifts.
She carefully examined the wedding dress, seeing it embroidered with intricate patterns in gold thread, each stitch and thread revealing the craftsman's exquisite craftsmanship. The jade pendant, as smooth as jade, seemed to illuminate the soul. Li Xiaoxiao knew that these gifts were not merely material gifts, but a reflection of Yun Che's deep affection for her.
To thank Yun Che for his dedication, Li Xiaoxiao accelerated her painting of the capital's scenery. Working day and night, she finally completed the piece a week before the wedding. The painting captured the capital's beauty, encompassing both magnificent palaces and quaint streets, each radiating its own unique charm.
Li Xiaoxiao carefully rolled up the painting and prepared to give it to Yun Che as a surprise on their wedding day. She believed that this gift could convey her love for Yun Che and her beautiful vision of their future life.
Meanwhile, Yun Che was also busy making final preparations for the wedding. He personally inspected the layout of the wedding venue, ensuring that every detail met his requirements. He also invited the most famous musicians and dancers in the capital to add to the festive atmosphere.
Yun Che also prepared a special surprise for Li Xiaoxiao—a manor on the outskirts of the capital. This manor boasted beautiful scenery, encompassing both mountains and water, and was a place Yun Che had chosen specifically for Li Xiaoxiao. He hoped it would become a haven for their souls amidst the hustle and bustle of life in the capital.
As the wedding approached, the capital was filled with a festive atmosphere. The love story of Yun Che and Li Xiaoxiao spread to every corner of the capital, becoming a popular topic of conversation.
Yun Che brought the wedding procession from the capital to Xiangmanlou in advance. The two of them had discussed that in order to show respect to Li Xiaoxiao's family, they would first treat guests to a meal in the town on the seventh day of September. The guests who came to eat were all from Lijia Village. They were all told in advance that they would only treat them to a meal and would not accept gifts. Most of the people in the village had never been to a restaurant to eat. This time, thanks to Li Xiaoxiao, they could eat at the largest restaurant in the town, and everyone was very excited.
In the early morning, Yun Che had already arrived with his wedding procession. He was dressed in a gorgeous formal attire, adorned with various precious ornaments. He sat before the mirror, his appearance arranged by a professional dresser. A happy smile filled his face, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Meanwhile, in Lijia Village, Li Xiaoxiao was also frantically preparing. She wore the wedding gown Yun Che had sent her, a phoenix crown on her head, and a shawl on her body, looking like a fairy descending to earth. Her face was delicately painted with makeup, a sweet smile on her lips, and her heart was filled with longing and anticipation for the future.
With the arrival of the wedding procession, Lijia Village erupted in excitement. Villagers flocked out of their homes to witness the grand wedding. Yun Che, riding a majestic horse, led the mighty wedding procession, which, accompanied by music and drums, headed towards Lijia Village.
When the wedding procession arrived at the entrance of Lijia Village, Li Xiaoxiao, surrounded by the Bai family and others, slowly walked out of the house, led by the matchmaker. She walked down the red carpet, step by step, towards Yun Che. She felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement. She knew that at this moment, she would become Yun Che's wife, and together they would begin a new chapter in their lives.
When Yun Che saw Li Xiaoxiao, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly dismounted, walked over to Li Xiaoxiao, held her hand affectionately, and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, I'm here to pick you up."
Li Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, tears glistening in her eyes. She softly replied, "Yun Che, I do."
Amidst the crowd's blessings, Yun Che and Li Xiaoxiao boarded the bridal sedan together. As the sedan slowly started to move, the wedding procession once again played cheerful music and headed towards the town.
The people of Lijia Village also followed the wedding procession to the town. Along the way, the procession formed a long line, shocking the people in the nearby villages. Even the people in the Li family's old house shamelessly followed the procession, preparing to go to Xiangmanlouhai for a meal.
When they arrived in town, Xiangmanlou was already decorated with festive decorations, red silk hanging high, lanterns shining brightly, and every corner exuded a strong festive atmosphere. Everyone's face was filled with smiles, congratulating each other, and witnessing the happy moment of the newlyweds together.
Yun Che and Li Xiaoxiao, surrounded by a crowd, entered the lobby of Xiang Man Lou. A grand banquet had been prepared for them, the table laden with a variety of delicacies, the aroma filling the air and making everyone salivate. Guests took their seats, enjoying this rare feast while also offering their most sincere blessings for the couple's bright future.
During the banquet, Yun Che and Li Xiaoxiao toasted to every guest, thanking them for coming and their blessings. Their faces were always filled with happy smiles, as if the whole world had become a better place because of their love.
