Chapter 546 [Old 9 Gate 25]
At this time, Master Jie Jiu came in and looked at Youyou who was putting on makeup, his eyes full of reluctance and love. He slowly walked to Youyou, gently stroked her hair, and said with emotion: "Youyou, I still remember that you were sent abroad when you were so young. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you have grown into a graceful young lady. Now it's time for you to get married. Brother really can't bear to let you go."
Youyou was deeply moved when she heard what Master Jie Jiu said, but she still pretended to be strong and comforted him, "Brother, don't be sad. I'm just getting married, not running away. And the man I'm marrying is Zhang Qishan, and his family is in Changsha, not far from our home. If you miss me in the future, you can come to Zhang's house to see me anytime, or I can come back to see you."
After listening to Youyou's words, Master Jie Jiu felt a little better, but he still couldn't help but sigh and said, "But after all, you are a girl. After you get married, you will have your own family. You can't go home as often as before."
"Brother, don't worry, I will come back to see you often." Youyou said with a smile.
At this time, a teasing laughter came from outside the door: "Yo yo yo, which little crybaby is crying here?" Then, a woman in a red cheongsam with a graceful figure walked in.
When Master Jiu saw the person coming, he asked in surprise, "Sanniang, why are you here?"
The visitor was named Huo Jinxi, a member of the Old Nine Gates, and had a close relationship with the Jie family. She smiled and replied, "It's all because of Youyou. I have seen Youyou grow up, and I have always treated her as my younger sister. Now that my younger sister is getting married, of course I have to come and see her off as her elder sister!" After that, she walked in front of Youyou, carefully examined Youyou's makeup, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, Youyou is really beautiful today!"
Then, she took out an exquisite box from her bosom and handed it to Youyou, saying gently: "Little Youyou, this is a dowry gift that your sister prepared for you. It will be sent to the Zhang Mansion along with your dowry. I hope you like it!"
Youyou opened the box and saw a pair of crystal clear jade earrings inside, which were very valuable. She hugged Huo Jinxi gratefully and said, "Thank you, Sister Jinxi, this gift is so precious!"
Huo Jinxi patted Youyou's shoulder and said lovingly, "Silly girl, why are you being polite to me? As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied."
"Then I won't be polite to you, Sister Jinxi." Youyou said with a smile, her eyes full of happiness and expectation.
"That's right. I don't know how Zhang Qishan got so lucky that he could marry you. Our Youyou is like a fairy. Whoever marries you will be blessed." Huo Jinxi said with envy, a hint of emotion in her eyes.
"Sister Jinxi, you are exaggerating too much." Youyou lowered her head shyly, with a blush on her face.
"It's not an exaggeration, it's not an exaggeration." Huo Jinxi shook her head repeatedly and looked at Youyou tenderly, as if she was admiring a precious treasure.
"Sister Jinxi, it's been so many years, why don't you find a warm-hearted person to live with? The Huo family is so big and powerful, it's inevitable that you will feel lonely." Youyou raised her head and looked at Huo Jinxi sincerely, with concern in her eyes.
"You... haven't you been living like this for so many years?" Huo Jinxi sighed softly, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Sister Jinxi, we must always look forward. We cannot always stumble in the same place. Don't you think that maybe we were wrong from the beginning? The person who truly waits for you has always been by your side." Youyou held Huo Jinxi's hand, her tone firm and gentle, hoping to give her some encouragement and inspiration.
"Okay, let's not talk about me. Today is your big day, so let's not talk about this kind of thing." Huo Jinxi smiled and tried to change the subject. She didn't want Youyou to be distracted by her own affairs.
Youyou nodded, understanding Huo Jinxi's intention, so she responded with a smile: "Okay, then let's not talk about this. But Sister Jinxi, if you meet the right person one day, you must be brave and seize the opportunity." After saying that, Youyou blinked mischievously.
Huo Jinxi couldn't help laughing at Youyou's words, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that Youyou really cared about her, and this friendship made her feel extremely warm.
Huo Jinxi then said, "Master Jiu, you should go to the front hall. We are the only ones here."
Master Jie Jiu nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this to Sanniang."
Huo Jinxi smiled and said, "Okay."
After Master Jiu turned and left, Huo Jinxi looked at Yin Xinyue and Lin Yueyue and asked gently, "Xinyue, Yueyue, can I call you that?"
Yin Xinyue smiled and replied, "Of course."
Lin Yueyue also nodded to show her agreement.
Huo Jinxi smiled warmly and said, "You can call me Jinxi or Sanniang."
Yin Xinyue responded: "Okay."
Lin Yueyue also responded softly.
The atmosphere between the three was harmonious and warm.
"Yueyue, I heard that you and Chenpi are about to get married, but I'm a little curious why you fell in love with that naughty boy Chenpi. He is unruly and unruly. How can you stand him?" Huo Jinxi asked with a smile.
"Sanniang, I think he's okay. He's very gentle to me and takes good care of me. He's not as rebellious as he appears to be. I think he's a nice guy." Lin Yueyue said shyly, lowering her head.
"Since you said so, then I wish you happiness. Although Chenpi seems a little unreliable, he is still a good person." Huo Jinxi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Sanniang." Lin Yueyue said gratefully.
"By the way, Xinyue, what kind of man do you like? Do you want Sanniang to introduce one to you? The Huo family also has many handsome young men. I guarantee you will like them. We accept all types." Huo Jinxi turned to look at Yin Xinyue and asked with a smile.
"Really? Sanniang, then please introduce someone to me. I want a handsome one, not an ugly one." Yin Xinyue's eyes lit up and she said quickly.
"Of course it's true. Don't worry, Sanniang will find you a perfect husband." Huo Jinxi promised, patting her chest.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Sanniang." Yin Xinyue smiled happily, her eyes full of expectation and trust.
"Youyou, it's almost time. Come on, let Sanniang comb your hair." Huo Jinxi said to Youyou gently.
"Thank you, Sister Jinxi." Youyou sat obediently in front of the mirror, waiting happily.
Huo Jinxi picked up the comb and gently combed Youyou's beautiful hair, muttering: "Comb your hair once, and you won't have to worry about wealth. Comb your hair twice, and you will be healthy and worry-free. Comb your hair three times, and you will have many children and a long life." Every word was full of good wishes, which made Youyou feel deeply warm.
Yin Xinyue on the side asked curiously: "Sanniang, I remember that shouldn't it be 'comb the hair all the way to the ends, comb it twice until it's as long as the eyebrows, and comb it three times until you have many children and grandchildren'? How did it become what you said?" She blinked her big eyes and looked at Huo Jinxi with confusion.
Huo Jinxi smiled and explained, "You're talking about this. The way we say it is different in each place, but they are all good wishes for the bride. Different regions have different customs. Although the expressions are slightly different, the meanings are similar."
Yin Xinyue nodded in sudden enlightenment: "So that's it." She understood the deep meaning behind these blessings and also felt the charm of traditional culture.
"Okay, Youyou, hold this, it has a special meaning! It symbolizes that your future life will be full of prosperity and happiness! Remember, don't eat it in advance, wait until you can share this sweetness with your new husband~" Huo Jinxi smiled and handed a red apple to Youyou, her eyes full of blessings.
"Well, I understand, Sister Jinxi. Thank you." Youyou took the apple obediently and held it tightly in her arms. She understood the good wishes that the apple carried, and she couldn't help but feel touched.
"Okay, our beautiful bride is about to put on the red veil!" Huo Jinxi said gently, her eyes falling on Youyou.
Yin Xinyue, who was standing by, quickly picked up the bright red veil and gently handed it to Huo Jinxi. Huo Jinxi carefully took it and gently put the red veil on Youyou's head.
In an instant, Youyou felt a fiery red in front of her eyes, as if the whole world was filled with this passionate color. She lowered her head slightly, feeling the mysterious atmosphere brought by the red veil, feeling both expectant and nervous.
At this moment, a joyful voice came from outside: "The auspicious time has arrived, please invite the bride to come out."
Hearing this voice, everyone in the room smiled with joy. Huo Jinxi said to Youyou gently, "Come on, Sister Jinxi will help you out."
Youyou nodded and said softly, "Yeah."
Outside the door, Master Jiu had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When he saw Youyou being carefully helped out by Huo Jinxi, his face was filled with a happy smile. Master Jiu walked to Youyou and said softly, "Let your brother carry you on his back for the rest of the journey." After that, he bent down and gently carried Youyou on his back.
Huo Jinxi looked at this scene, her eyes full of emotion and blessings. She handed Youyou to Jie Jiuye, who carried Youyou on his back and walked out the door step by step. Every step seemed so solemn and firm, as if announcing their love to everyone.
Huo Jinxi and the others followed the footsteps of Master Jie Jiu and walked out of the room together. Zhang Qishan, dressed in a bright red Zhongshan suit, was handsome and had been waiting at the door for a long time. His eyes always stayed on Master Jie Jiu, with a gleam of expectation and blessing in his eyes. When Master Jie Jiu walked to the door carrying Youyou, Zhang Qishan's face showed a bright smile.
