Chapter 405: Tricks
There was only one nanny room at Bihu Tiandi, and with everyone else busy at the wedding room, Gu Lanxi only brought Aunt Wang to take care of her in the days leading up to the wedding.

When the doorbell rang, Aunt Wang was working in the laundry room, so Gu Lanxi came over to open the door herself.

Looking through the peephole, I saw that the doorway was empty and no one seemed to be there. I asked again, "Who is it?", but still no one answered.

Fearing that sasaeng fans might come knocking on her door, Gu Lanxi, just to be on the safe side, first pulled up the surveillance footage and checked it.

Then Lu Nanting, wearing a hat and mask, like a thief, left a bag at the door and ran away.

Well, the two hadn't seen each other for four whole days, and they had just been flirting with each other on video. He finally couldn't resist and followed her here.

Fearing that people might hide and not leave, Gu Lanxi went back inside, found a hat and mask, put them on, and then opened the door, bringing the things in as quickly as possible.

A large paper bag with a luxury brand logo was inside, containing a box. Based on her experience, Gu Lanxi deduced that it was probably a handbag.

I was speechless.

She took out her phone and sent a voice message to Lu Nanting: "You have so many bags at home, and you've never even used most of them. Why did you buy this one?"

Lu Nanting replied immediately, her tone unusually affected: "What did you say? What bag? When did I buy a bag?"

Gu Lanxi made the call directly.

Lu Nanting answered immediately.

"You know there are security cameras at the entrance, right? You think I won't recognize you just because you're wearing a hat and a mask? What are you thinking?"

Lu Nanting chuckled and then admitted, "Didn't we say we couldn't meet? If we don't have time to run away and you just open the door, then it won't count as us meeting."

"quibble!"

As Gu Lanxi took the box out, she scolded him, "Four days have passed, there are only three days left, so don't do anything reckless and break the rules!"

"I know, otherwise why would I be wrapped up so tightly? You little superstitious thing, hurry up and open it to see what your brother has given you?"

Gu Lanxi had already opened the huge cardboard box. Lifting the lid, she saw a small rubber mallet on the table.

I couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you sending me a hammer so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"Take another look? There's anything else."

Gu Lanxi casually placed her phone on the coffee table, knelt down on the fluffy carpet, and lifted the cardboard box from the trunk with both hands.

Then I saw a gleaming gold plate.

It's neither thick nor thin; it feels like a piece of cardboard when you pick it up.

Gu Lanxi became even more curious: "Why are you sending me gold?"

"We've both been at home these past few days, and it's rare for us to have some free time, but we haven't been able to meet. So I found something interesting I wanted to do with you. Get your tools out and take a look at the instructions I sent you..."

Gu Lanxi took out everything as instructed.

She understood at a glance.

"I made the template. You need to cut the gold plate, control the weight, and then use a rubber mallet with a pad underneath to slowly hammer out the letters."

The two had already registered their marriage and their birth dates had been calculated. Going through the six rites was just a formality. Because they were both too busy to choose a proper date, they had to specially select an auspicious time and carefully go through all six rites.

Due to the limitations of reality, the two were unable to perfectly recreate the ancient wedding ceremony process, but they did their best to do so.

Two days ago, during the betrothal ceremony, the Gu family, represented by their clan head and close elders, received the jade goose, the "marriage agreement," and gifts such as silk, animal hides, and wine sent by the matchmaker from the Lu family. They then sent a "reply letter" in return, confirming their intention to form a marriage alliance.

Yesterday, when the name was inquired, Madam Lu sent a matchmaker to the woman's home with a "Name Inquiry Letter," asking for the woman's name, birth date and time, etc. Madam Gu replied with a "Name Response Letter," detailing Gu Lanxi's birth date and time, as well as her birth order in the family.

Today, we invited a master to perform a divination to determine the compatibility of our marriage. It is destined to be a very auspicious and prosperous marriage, a rare and wonderful union.

Tomorrow is the day for the betrothal ceremony. The Lu family will inform the woman of the auspicious signs of the marriage and send her a pair of animal skins, as well as red and black silk, a list of betrothal gifts, and a "letter of betrothal." The Gu family will also reciprocate with gifts according to custom.

The day after tomorrow, Lu asked for the wedding date again, and informed the Gu family, who gave their permission.

The day after tomorrow, take a day off to rest and maintain good condition. The next morning, get up early to do your makeup and hair. In the afternoon, you will finally take the last step of the six rites – “the wedding ceremony”.

For safety and convenience, Gu Lanxi will have her wedding ceremony held in one of the courtyards of the manor. Lu Nanting will ride a horse around the manor to pick her up.

Once they arrived at the wedding venue, the six rites were completed, and the formal ceremony began.

Throughout the process, many documents were involved, all of which were written by highly respected individuals.

But Lu Nanting always felt it wasn't quite perfect.

That's why they secretly prepared this golden marriage certificate, which they made together.

Gu Lanxi tidied everything up, then looked at the template over and over again, and was deeply moved after reading it.

"You have to make a vow of eternal love with me, brother!" "Our love is stronger than gold, isn't that wonderful?"

"Have you been carving this for the past few days? Doesn't your hand hurt?"

"I'd like to, but I don't have the skills. I've ruined several wooden boards with my carving. In the end, I had no choice but to look into laser engraving."

These words inexplicably struck a nerve, and Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh, laughing for a long time without stopping.

Lu Nanting was a little embarrassed: "Don't laugh. Isn't the purpose of technological development to bring happiness to people? We don't need to suffer without trying."

"But didn't you want to endure hardship, only to find that hardship didn't yield results, and then you settled for laser engraving instead?"

They're quite good at comforting themselves.

"Alright, Teacher Gu, you can start working now. Don't forget to turn on the video so I can keep you company."

"This is the first time I've heard someone describe a foreman so nicely."

"Where is it?"

"Hey! Don't speak in a high-pitched voice!"

"Let me sing you a song!"

Seeing that she had taken out a tablet to look at the guide, Lu Nanting, who was sitting there bored, took the initiative to make a suggestion.

Gu Lanxi thought for a moment and came up with a new idea: "I'll move the coffee table to the doorway, open the door a crack, and you can come downstairs and sing for me."

"Wow, so greedy?"

Gu Lanxi didn't say anything, just threw her phone on the sofa and started collecting the things on the coffee table. Once she finished, she immediately moved the coffee table towards the door.

Aunt Wang came out after hanging up the clothes and saw that she was having trouble carrying them, so she quickly came over to help.

Upon learning that Lu Nanting had also come here, the young couple planned to chat and do crafts through the gate, which made Aunt Wang want to laugh!

After the coffee table was moved over, Aunt Wang brought over a rug and cushions and laid them out inside and outside the door.

Then I went to the bay window in the master bedroom and moved a rectangular kang table over, putting one end inside the room and the other end outside.

Just as we were getting ready, the elevator doors opened, and Lao Xiao came downstairs carrying a tray.

When the two met, they couldn't help but laugh.

Old Xiao placed a pot of fruit tea on the kang table, along with a plate of small pieces of pastry. He chatted with Aunt Wang for a few minutes before going upstairs.

After putting his things away, Lu Nanting also came downstairs carrying his guitar.

The two sat down across the door.

Through the open door, if you listen carefully, you can almost hear each other's breathing.

For several days in a row, we could only communicate through video calls. Suddenly being so close to each other feels quite surreal.

Gu Lanxi was meticulous in her work. She took out a small scale to weigh it, and after weighing it, it was about 53 grams. She asked him, "Should we cut it into 52 grams?"

Lu Nanting hummed in agreement, casually strummed a few keys, and sang whatever came to mind, relaxed and carefree:
Tonight I've come to your window again.

How lovely your shadow is on the curtains

I've secretly loved you for so many years.

The song ended abruptly after three lines.

Gu Lanxi stopped singing: "Why did you stop?"

Lu Nanting was extremely annoyed and sped up his strumming, his tone somewhat exasperated: "I sang the wrong one, I'll change it!"

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh.

Because it's an old, overused song that she's heard before.

The next line of this song is "I'm leaving tomorrow," and there's also a very famous line, "Goodbye, my beloved dream girl."

So he said he sang it wrong.

I am always moved by the details in life.

Just thinking about that scene makes me want to laugh.

good evening.
