About two meters long and one meter wide, in a very narrow strip-shaped tea room, the low paper door was half-closed, and a woman dressed in ancient Chinese clothing was sitting opposite the door.
The wall behind her was bare and there was no photo, but there was a simple and crude pottery flowerpot hanging against the wall. In the Flowerpot, there was an ancient and elegant tree peony, a branch of three flowers, it was the long-lost Yao Huang, Wei Zi, and Ou Bi.
It bloomed quietly in the constant temperature tea room.
A luxurious Persian wool blanket was laid on the floor. In the corner of the rosewood tea table in front of her was a jade bottle with red glaze for sacrifice, and a white Lily of the valley was placed diagonally in it.
On the tea table were no longer yarrow grass sticks, but fifty rosewood sticks.
The woman knelt in front of the coffee table and looked at the divination drawn on the white paper in front of her. She was silent for a while.
Lower Xun, Upper Qian, divination.
“Madam, how about this divination?”

“The 44th divination, gou divination. Qian is heaven; Xun is wind. There is wind in the world, blowing across the Earth. Yin and Yang intersect, and all things flourish,”the woman muttered.
“AH? This… isn’t it good for people who get married?”The middle-aged servant said uneasily.
The woman sneered. “Gou is coitus, and the Lord of yin and Yang meet. But look at the specific divination. Five Yin and one Yang, Yin flourishing and Yang declining, it can’t last long. This divination is not good for marriage!”
The middle-aged servant:”…”
She glanced at the woman and said carefully, “But madam, you don’t seem to be calculating marriage?”
“Hehe, the way of the Yi follows the heart. How can you determine the range?”The woman put away the mahogany stick. “Where’s My Yarrow Stick? I want to do another divination.”
After switching to mahogany, it was always unstable.
She felt that she had to use Yarrow to do another divination.
Ten minutes later, looking at the divination in front of her, she took a deep breath and suppressed her excitement.
It was still gou’s divination. Five Yin and one Yang. Even the specific lines were the same.
“… This is great.”She stood up slowly and stroked her bun.
Her expression was calm as she stretched out her jade-white arm. “Where’s my dress? Are You Ready? I’m going to attend a high-level wedding rehearsal tonight. I don’t want to miss this show.”
She never regretted her decision.
Men weren’t the only ones who understood the country’s principles, and women were no worse than men.
..
The Huaxia Empire’s hottest news of late was, of course, “Your Life,”also known as “Second Life,”a large-scale online game that had once been very popular.
After being pushed into an unprecedented climax by the AI that had suddenly come to life, it had vanished into thin air overnight.
The shock it had brought to the online community was incomparable. It even overshadowed the upcoming wedding of the “National couple,”Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng.
These two names had been trending on the internet for a long time.
No one was keeping track of the progress of the wedding preparations 24 hours a day, and predicting the style of the wedding dress. Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Nianzhi woke up from a coma that had lasted for more than ten days. She was very happy to hear the news.
If possible, she hoped that her wedding would be small-scale, warm, and intimate, and that she would only celebrate with people she was familiar with.
However, with Huo Shaoheng’s current status and identity, this was impossible.
Moreover, her father, Lu Jin, would not let go of this opportunity to show off his girl in front of the whole world.
Therefore, she was willing to relish it and enjoy it.
After a good sleep and waking up, she was more than half recovered.
Her skin was fair and delicate, and a faint pink color seeped out from her flawless skin. It was even more tender than a lychee that had just been peeled.
She sat in front of the dressing table and looked at a row of newly bought lipsticks for a long time, but could not find a suitable color.
Huo Shaoheng leaned against her dressing table and leaned over, holding the back of her neck. He looked at her carefully for a while and said, “Let me help you.”
Gu Nianzhi thought that Huo Shaoheng was going to choose a suitable lipstick color for her, so she quickly pouted her lips.
Her lips were perfectly shaped and full to begin with. When she pouted, it was like a tempting kiss.
Huo Shaoheng did not want to choose a lipstick color for her, so he kissed her.
He kissed her lips and looked at himself in the mirror. He did not let go of her until he “Bit”a beautiful red.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her lips that were almost “Swollen”. She really wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
She pounded Huo Shaoheng’s chest with hatred and said angrily, “How am I supposed to see people at night when you’re Like This?”
Huo Shaoheng smiled and let her hit him. He said, “What’s wrong? You Don’t like the color? What’s wrong? I’ll fix it for you…”
As he spoke, he pretended to kiss her again.
Gu Nianzhi quickly pushed him away and said, “That’s enough. Enough is enough.”
She pushed Huo Shaoheng away and went back to the dressing table to look at her own lips. She found that they were indeed pretty.
No matter how good the color of lipstick was, it was still “Dead.”The color on her lips now was alive.
It was the brightest shade of red among the blooming flowers of peonies. It was also the color of Rouge that reflected the sunset sky. It bloomed quietly on her lips. It was a natural beauty that no lipstick could bring out.
Gu Nianzhi looked at herself in the mirror for a while and felt that she really didn’t need to wear lipstick anymore.
She got up and went to the closet to get her custom-made dress.
Although Tonight was a rehearsal for the wedding, the guests were no different from the next day, and all the ceremonies were exactly the same.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi also carefully prepared the dress.
It was a puffy dress from France’s Haute Couture brand Chanel. It had an ivory-white body and a hollowed-out waist with a small diamond-palm-wide waistband. It made her look even taller and longer.
Her slender neck was like a swan, and the shoulder-to-neck ratio was perfect. She wore a full set of Van Cleef & Arpels Ruby Jewelry, a four-leaf clover-shaped Ruby Diamond Necklace, the same earrings and bracelet, and the engagement ring that Huo Shaoheng had given her, she was like a walking crystal flower branch, shining brightly.
However, no matter how beautiful the jewelry was, it could not suppress her bright and Bright Eyes.
She walked out of the suite. Her eyes seemed to have light in them, full of vitality and eagerness to try.
Tonight was her night.
Lu Jin, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, walked up to her happily. “My Girl is so beautiful!”
He held Gu Nianzhi’s hands and looked her up and down.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and smiled. She held Lu Jin’s arm and said softly, “Dad, the tracking video of the system AI that you showed me was real, right?”
“Why would I lie to You? But why would you want to see these things?”Lu Jin led her downstairs. “Dinner wasn’t even good.”
“I’m really not hungry.”Gu Nianzhi actually had no appetite at all because her attention was elsewhere.
“Okay, I know what you’re going to do now.”Lu Jin patted the back of her hand helplessly. “Tonight is your wedding rehearsal.”
“So What? It’s not a formal wedding.”Gu Nianzhi grimaced. “Of course, we have to clean up the venue so we can have a carefree wedding!”
Lu Jin laughed heartily and walked down the spiral staircase with her.
Huo Shaoheng was already waiting downstairs in a custom-made black tuxedo.
Gu Nianzhi had never seen Huo Shaoheng in a tuxedo before, so she couldn’t take her eyes off him.
“Huo Shao, you look so good in this…”Gu Nianzhi’s eyes flashed with a hint of amazement and infatuation.
Huo Shaoheng leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. “Nianzhi, you look so beautiful, especially the lipstick. This color is so beautiful.”
“Of course.”Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly. “This is called beheading a man.”
Huo Shaoheng glanced at her and calmly led her into the car.
Gu Nianzhi sat in the middle of the backseat, while Huo Shaoheng and Lu Jin sat beside her.
Gu Nianzhi held Huo Shaoheng in one hand and Lu Jin in the other. She sighed in satisfaction. “My life is complete.”
She was a contented girl.
Contentment was bliss.
..
Not long after, they arrived at the venue for tonight’s wedding rehearsal.
The Huaxia Empire had once been one of the centers of power in ancient times. The walls were red, the tiles were green, and the lights were on.
Rows of comfortable sofas, tables, and chairs were arranged in a semicircle on the spacious venue.
The guests arrived early, holding red wine and food from the rows of long tables around them. They ate, drank, and chatted casually.
These were all meticulously prepared by the world’s top chefs for tonight’s wedding rehearsal.
Time ticked by, and Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng stepped into the rehearsal venue. The symphony orchestra hidden in the dark quickly played the “Wedding March.”.
The guests quickly looked up and saw the groom-to-be, Huo Shaoheng, and the bride-to-be, Gu Nianzhi, walking down the red carpet.
The couple’s looks were simply too good. Their temperament was even more outstanding, but they were not high and mighty. People envied them, but they also felt a sense of closeness.
No one paid attention to the newlyweds’clothes and jewelry.
All the jewelry that Gu Nianzhi was wearing today was worth tens of millions of dollars. It was not as eye-catching as her simple smile.
Lu Jin followed her and looked around. Finally, he found a seat between Zhao Liangze and Chen Lie and sat down. He did not sit next to Lu Yuan and song jinning.
Zhao Liangze and Chen Lie were completely in awe of him. When they saw him sitting next to them, they wished they could worship him like a bodhisattva.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng walked in and did not notice them.
Lu Jin saw Gu Nianzhi’s eyes sweep across the room and finally land in a corner for a few seconds.
Most of the guests sitting there had been invited by someone.
For example, Wula Emma, who was born in India, grew up in London, studied in the United States, and suddenly became the largest federal military contractor in the United States at the age of 30.
There was also Mayako Yamaguchi, the president of Yamaguchi Corporation, who lived in the mountains of Ohio in the United States all year round.
Of course, there was also the Chilean mining tycoon, Ms. Yuan Jianan, who wore a dark purple cheongsam and had an elegant and virtuous temperament.
