"Then you're not planning to wait until after graduation to hold the wedding banquet?" Qin Anyu couldn't help but ask. "The banquet and all that isn't really important," Tang Yue replied, facing Qin Anyu's astonished gaze. She said, "If two people are happy together, even without a banquet, they'll still lead a sweet life together for a lifetime. If they're not happy together afterwards, no matter how lavish the banquet is, it will still end in divorce." "So whether life after marriage is happy or not really has nothing to do with the banquet." Tang Yue thought for a moment and added, "Moreover, being too extravagant and wasteful isn't good either." "That's true," Qin Anyu agreed, acknowledging that Tang Yue's words made sense. "But, for a marriage registration, when both families sit together, you still have to eat, right? What will you wear?" Qin Anyu asked. She had originally thought that Tang Yue would want to wear a wedding dress, but it now seemed that Tang Yue hadn't even considered wearing one. "A cheongsam," Tang Yue replied without hesitation: "The red one." But it was a modified version of the cheongsam. She made some modifications to it since short dresses might not be all that popular currently; therefore, she replaced the bottom part with a long red chiffon skirt. "Have you had it made?" Qin Anyu asked subconsciously. Tang Yue asked with a puzzled expression, "I know how to make clothes, why would I need someone else to do it?" Hearing that she made it herself, Qin Anyu insisted on seeing it. When the partially completed cheongsam was brought out, Qin Anyu was stunned. The mandarin-collared cheongsam, with short sleeves suitable for summer, had the upper half in the style of a cheongsam, while the lower half was made of a red chiffon long skirt. Even without putting it on, one could tell that it would look ethereal and beautiful when worn. The waistline of the cheongsam was nicely done, and when paired with the red chiffon skirt, it looked magical and beautiful. "These flowers on it, you didn't embroider them yourself, did you?" Qin Anyu asked incredulously while looking at the pattern. "No," Tang Yue shook her head, "I'm not that versatile. An old lady I met in Su City who specializes in embroidery did this for me, and I think it's beautiful." The pattern was beautifully done, but not over-the-top, just the style she liked. "You really like it?" Tang Yue asked. "I love it," Qin Anyu nodded like pounding garlic, her eyes round and fixed on Tang Yue. Even without speaking, Tang Yue knew what she was thinking. Tang Yue said, "Actually, I made two sets, and the other is a long cheongsam." Tang Yue went into the house and brought out another cheongsam. This one was a traditional cheongsam, except that the skirt was lengthened, and the slit was lowered a bit. The mandarin collar and the frog buttons were all delicately made. "It's beautiful," Qin Anyu said, hugging both pieces of clothing, unwilling to let go. She looked at Tang Yue with anticipation and said, "Xiao Yue, you can't wear both at once, why not give me one?" In terms of body shapes, hers and Tang Yue's were similar, and even their heights differed only slightly. Often, when Qin Anyu ran out of clothes to wear, she would just slip on Tang Yue's. "Sister An Yu, this is mine," Tang Yue pulled the clothes back in her possession. Qin Anyu threw herself, clothes and all, onto Tang Yue, pleading in a pitiful voice, "Xiao Yue, how can you be so cruel, not even giving me one piece of clothing?" "Xiao Yue, my wedding is coming up soon, and I want to wear a cheongsam as well," Qin Anyu had been eyeing the cheongsam for a while but hadn't taken action yet. To put it accurately, Qin Anyu had not yet seen a cheongsam that felt suitable for a wedding. "Yueyue, I'm your sworn older sister after all. You're saying that when your sworn older sister gets married, you won't give her something?" "How about gifting me one piece of clothing," Qin Anyu begged earnestly for the beautiful cheongsam, throwing all caution to the wind. Tang Yue was amused by Qin Anyu's gesture, grinning as she said, "Sister An Yu, when you get married, I'll give you a dress. As for money and other gifts, I won't be giving any." "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh," Qin Anyu nodded vigorously. She had been earning a lot of money herself now, and wasn't short of it. Besides, she and Xiao Yue were so close, it would seem too insincere to give money for the wedding. On her travels with Chu Hong, she had come across a stunning jade bracelet. They say jade nourishes the person, and she planned to give it to Xiao Yue as a wedding gift. Tang Yue said begrudgingly, and seeing Qin Anyu's eager face, she couldn't help but laugh. Qin Anyu was really easy to please. Tang Yue thought that the qipao must be made to fit well and look nice, and although the wedding dress was pretty, in her eyes, it could be even more beautiful. She took the wedding dress and said, "Sister An Yu, this wedding dress, could you help me alter it again? I'll give it to you afterwards." "Sure," Qin Anyu trusted Tang Yue's talents wholeheartedly. While Tang Yue was making the qipao for Qin Anyu, she was also wondering how to alter the wedding dress and what to give as a wedding gift. Giving just a dress would surely be too stingy. Just four days away from August 3rd, Zhang Hualian was tidying up the rooms, to ensure they could accommodate the big family gathering. Qin Anyu was very enthusiastic, "Chu Hong has a house next to Jianan Prefecture, which can also accommodate people." "Good, if we're still short then, I'll ask you," Tang Yue replied with a smile. In reality, the wedding house could accommodate them, but she and Mo Siyu had yet to live there. Moreover, concerning the wedding house, Zhang Hualian had said before that after the young couple moved in, they would stay for a few days, to add to the festive atmosphere. Until then, no one else was allowed to stay in the wedding house. In the alley, when seriously considered, there were a few beds, but not enough. Tang Mingli had some empty rooms, and since it's summer, with a mattress laid down, they could house people. She discussed with Zhang Hualian that if there wasn't enough space, they would have others stay in a guesthouse. Anyway, both of the old ladies wanted to stay in the alley. On the evening of July 30th, Mo Xiaoyu arrived with her daughter Xie Tiantian. The current Mo Xiaoyu, compared to last summer, had undergone a drastic change, becoming much more confident. Plus, with the business in her shop getting better, she was naturally beaming. Her daughter Xie Tiantian was the same—well cared for by Mo Xiaoyu and dressed up prettily. The slightly chubby Xie Tiantian looked even more adorable than before, wearing a cute princess hairstyle and a poofy dress, resembling a little princess. "Tiantian," Tang Yue recognized Xie Tiantian immediately, who, aside from growing taller, hadn't changed much in appearance. "Pretty sister," Xie Tiantian said, batting her big eyes as she threw herself at Tang Yue.
