The climate in Shenzhen in January is mild, and the temperature is between ten and twenty degrees, which is suitable for shopping.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, the couple, their mother and uncle, plus two assistants Zeng Ni and Lu Tao, as well as personnel from the purchasing department of the wedding company, started a journey of purchasing materials for the wedding.
The two sisters Zhang Shaohan and Zhang Hanxuan were also there. They got together with the couple on the day of the "Star You" press conference, spent New Year's Eve with Zhou Jielun, and went to Sister Hua's house to spend New Year's Day with the couple, and then came to Shenzhen.
Play together.
The family also knew that Zhang Shaohan remembered the kindness of that public opinion reversal incident, and also knew that the wedding day was the busiest time for their family, so they thought of helping to share the worries and create a festive atmosphere in advance, so they brought
My sister and I came together excitedly.
In a large supermarket in Shenzhen, there is an area dedicated to selling candies.
The purchasing staff responsible for wedding celebrations worked with the store owner to introduce various candies.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and the others were listening and sizing up the candy, and they were also choosing the candy that suited them.
There are two types of candy for wedding banquets, one is served on a plate, and the other is wedding candy packaged in a box.
If it were just based on the wedding banquets of the Song Dynasty, there would be no such thing as wedding candy. Only the cakes served on the plate could be regarded as candy.
Regarding this etiquette, her mother Liu Xiaoli thought it would be better to be festive, so she combined it with the wedding candy model that only appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the wedding plating model of the Song Dynasty, which was mainly cakes.
According to the notes discussed by my mother and my uncle, the pastries on the plate are mainly candied fruits, honey candies and osmanthus cakes from the Song Dynasty, and the packaged wedding candies are mainly caramels, rock candies and pastries from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
"Chu Xuan! Liu Yifei!!"
"And Zhang Shaohan!!"
In a crowded supermarket, tourists and passers-by immediately recognized them and surrounded them one after another.
"Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, are you shopping here?"
A girl with long hair shawl asked excitedly, while a large group of men and women were nearby taking pictures with their mobile phones.
Chu Xuan held a piece of Dragon Beard Crispy in his right hand, took a bite, and said with a smile: "Buy wedding candy."
Wedding candy?...The eyes of the people nearby were all bright.
The long-haired girl kept tapping her feet excitedly, holding her face in her hands, her eyes widened with surprise and happiness: "Ahhh! You are really getting married!!"
"When are you going to get married? Give me a date!" A woman booed in the crowd.
A man then shouted: "Publish the card number, I will follow you!"
"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter in the whole area, attracting more people to join in the fun.
Liu Yifei turned around and smiled: "Didn't the movie talk about the date? Everyone who has watched "Sky Curtain" should know it, right?"
"In the movie...?" Passers-by couldn't help but groan, and then a woman reacted, with a face full of surprise and said: "In the last Easter egg! It's the part where Wei Ran and Lin Yi discuss the wedding date, March
No. 5! Ah - my God! I should have thought of it earlier! It’s your birthday, Chu Xuan!"
"No! Is this true? Isn't it a plot!" Many people were surprised.
"Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, you are so good at playing! You fooled us all! We thought it was just a plot!" someone shouted.
Chu Xuan turned to face the crowd, spread out his hands, and said with interest: "I said it was an Easter egg, so there will be surprises. You just didn't notice it yourself. I didn't lie to you."
Seeing this interesting interaction, Liu Xiaoli, the aunt, Zhang Shaohan and others all couldn't help laughing.
The onlookers were dumbfounded. At that time, they were only eating dog food in the cinema. They never expected that the plot at the end of the movie, where the male and female protagonists set their wedding date, turned out to be a real interpretation.
After hearing what Chu Xuan said, everyone was really surprised when they thought about it.
"Wow! What is that!" A short-haired girl pointed to a box on the candy cabinet.
"Wedding candy box." Zhang Shaohan picked up the box and handed it to the female fan to see.
On the red cube box, there are colorful printed patterns printed on each of the four fronts, namely Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv, Lin Shu and Princess Nihuang, as well as the real wedding photos of the two people in the Song Dynasty.
"I want this box!"
"This is so romantic!!"
"Can we still make wedding candy boxes like this? I can keep this box for a lifetime!"
"It's so sweet! I need to take insulin!"
"Ancient wedding! I love you so much!"
Seeing a group of female fans grabbing a box, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli quickly went into battle to grab it.
"Hehehe! It won't happen, it won't happen!"
"Oh, it's just a box, don't do this!"
"Girls, stop, stop, stop!"
The family of three repeatedly tried to dissuade them, and Zeng Ni, Lu Tao and Zhang Shaohan also came forward to help, and the female fans stopped fighting.
Liu Xiaoli was helpless and realized that taking the couple out was a mistake.
She clapped her hands and said softly: "In this way, it is fate to be here together. As their mother, I am also very grateful for your love and support for them all the way."
"The store owner has only made two hundred wedding candy boxes so far. We have just selected the wedding candies. The boss will put the candies into the boxes and give them to you later."
"To express my gratitude to you, it can also be regarded as your advance blessing to them. What do you think?"
Hearing this, many fans were filled with joy.
"Mother Liu, you are so good!" Many fans praised.
I saw a woman pulling on the fence on the fifth floor and shouting downstairs: "Sun Suqin!! Hurry up and eat Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's wedding candies! Hurry up!!"
No one knows who Sun Suqin is, but she is probably this woman's best friend.
But the woman's roar was probably heard by the entire supermarket covering an area of 10,000 square meters.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other. They both had only one thought, they had to run away quickly!
"Let's go quickly." Liu Xiaoli tugged on her daughter's sleeves and said to her fans and friends: "Take one for each person."
Chu Xuan took Liu Yifei's hand and walked quickly to the elevator entrance.
Liu Yifei also turned around and said: "Friends, promise us that each of us will just take one, okay?"
"OK!!" Many fans said in unison, everyone was very excited.
It wasn't until he walked into the elevator that Zhang Shaohan breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "It's too scary to go out with you. Your fans are so awesome. The so-called kings and queens in Baodao are not on the same level as you."
"Can the kings and queens be the same as international superstars?" Zhang Hanxuan said matter-of-factly.
After this experience of going out, in the next few days, whenever they went to such large public places, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were jointly requested not to go out.
Even if you go out, you are not allowed to get off the car.
This made the couple laugh and cry, and they could only follow them to some purchasing venues in relatively closed environments.
“Wow, this wine vat has so much personality!”
This is a craft equipment factory that specializes in making and producing traditional cultural crafts.
As soon as Liu Yifei came in and took a look, she was attracted by a wine vat.
The wine tank is very old-fashioned, made of ceramics, and is all black. What makes it stand out is that there is a silver faucet at the bottom.
"Is this what is used to hold and pour wine at weddings?" Zhang Shaohan asked curiously.
"Yes." The wedding purchaser introduced: "According to the requirements of the two sisters, all utensils must conform to the ancient wedding environment, and the wine vessels must also adapt. My team and I designed such a wine jar.
Adding a silver faucet also looks vintage.”
"Sister Liu said there are five kinds of wine at the wedding banquet, white wine, red wine, champagne, cocktails, and beer."
"We plan to prepare 40 jars, divided into 4 groups of two, and they will be arranged in two rows on both sides of the banquet in the backyard of the villa facing the sea."
"Then, the corresponding wine and drink names are labeled with red paper on the tank. We only need to pour the purchased wine and drinks directly into the tank, and finally drink them from the tap."
"This is good." Chu Xuan was very satisfied with the design, folded his hands and said, "In those costume dramas and movies, restaurants and pubs are like this, isn't it? The wine jar is an indispensable prop in this scene, and it is always the same.
They are piled up in rows.”
"When the time comes, in our big backyard, we will place 40 wine jars in rows on both sides, and the wine seats will be between the wine jars on both sides. The ancient feel will be very strong, and the atmosphere will come immediately. Even those who don't drink much will probably drink more.
Two or three cups.”
Everyone nodded slightly, and when they thought about the scene, they felt that it was very ancient.
"Where are the vegetable bowls, rice bowls, chopsticks and wine bottles?" Liu Xiaoli asked.
"This is ready-made. This appliance factory has stock. You can get it directly without customizing it." The purchasing staff led the way.
Everyone followed and came to a workshop that resembled an office, with a dazzling array of traditional gadgets.
"According to my eldest sister, porcelain was the most valuable item in the Song Dynasty, followed by gold and silver."
"So our recommendation is to use porcelain for bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses and other utensils."
"In the Northern Song Dynasty, porcelain was valued for its azure color, with a smooth and translucent surface. It was very beautiful and artistic."
"This is the set we recommend to you, take a look."
Everyone looked at the things on the table, and they were really very artistic.
Azure color is like light blue and light green emerald color, crystal clear.
Just look at the large bowl, vegetable plate, vegetable bowl, small rice bowl, chopsticks, etc., all of this color, neat, clean and beautiful, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Chu Xuan picked up a small azure wine bottle and said with great interest: "This wine bottle is made like the Four-Yang Square Zun, a smaller version of the square bottle."
"This is based on the prototype of Siyang Fangzun." the purchasing staff said.
"No wonder, I just said it looks so similar." Chu Xuan nodded.
The purchasing staff then introduced: "The small wine bottle in Mr. Chu's hand has a capacity of 1 liang, which is the same capacity as the small wine glass we usually use to drink liquor. The wine bottle in Mr. Liu's hand has a capacity of 2 liang, just like the capacity of liquor.
The capacity of the wine dispenser is about the same.”
"Ah? Is this a wine divider?" Liu Yifei was surprised, and then said with great interest: "I thought it was a larger Siyang Fangzun, which is just a tripod. You tell me this is a wine divider?"
"Let me take a look." Liu Xiaoli became interested and took the piece of porcelain to look at it.
Chu Xuan was also full of interest. He glanced at the dazzling array of objects on the table and said: "The Four-Yang Fang Zun is one yuan, and the Four-Yang Fang Zun is two taels. These are people who drink white wine, and there must be others who drink beer and red wine."
After saying that, his eyes lit up, he picked up a porcelain and said, "This is for drinking beer, right? By comparison, the capacity is at least five taels, which is enough for drinking beer."
"Mr. Chu is right," the buyer praised.
"It's okay to drink white wine. It's just a small cauldron, which is called elegance." Chu Xuan was very interested. He picked up the Four-Yang Fangzun with a capacity of five taels and made a toasting gesture: "It's not like this. It's really a cauldron. There are all the things in it."
You can burn incense and put out candles, and then your friends will carry a cauldron like this and drink wine. Come on, drink it all in one gulp! This is called being superior!"
Zhang Shaohan slapped Chu Xuan and was so happy that he said it.
Liu Yifei also smiled broadly, waved her hand, and made a decision directly: "This is it, let's use the tripod to drink wine! Or the Siyang Fangzun Ding, the national treasure to drink wine, who else?"
Liu Xiaoli also looked very happy and nodded: "Then let's do this, it's quite interesting."
…
Another day of shopping was over, and everyone returned to the hotel by car.
"Drinking with a tripod, it's funny when I think about it." Liu Yifei raised her hands to smooth her hair, with a cheerful look on her face.
Chu Xuan next to him, and Liu Xiaoli and Zhang Shaohan who were in the same car also felt a sense of fun.
"Go see the flowers tomorrow." Liu Xiaoli said from the passenger seat.
"Okay!" Liu Yifei was very excited.
Liu Xiaoli continued: "In addition to the normally placed potted plants, according to the wedding ceremony of the Song Dynasty, flowers should also be placed in the middle of the wine table, mostly flowers symbolizing love. What kind of flowers do you want?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What kinds are there?" Chu Xuan asked.
"Which kinds..." Liu Xiaoli thought for a while and said: "In ancient times, there was just one kind of peony. In modern times, there are many, such as roses, lavender, tulips, and lilies."
"Rose." Liu Yifei chose rose.
"Peony." Chu Xuan held a different opinion.
Liu Yifei tilted her head and raised her eyes: "Rose!"
"Tsk." Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's an ancient wedding. Naturally, we have to follow the ancient tradition and put roses on the wine table with a pile of porcelain. It's awkward when you think about it."
"Why is it awkward?" Liu Yifei said unhappily: "Why can't it be a different kind of beauty?"
Chu Xuan looked at her and said: "The utensils we chose are azure, blue and green. If you put red roses on it, will it match?"
"Roses are not only red." Liu Yifei said: "There are also blue and purple."
"The blue rose and the purple rose are both dark colors, and the sky blue is a light color, so they don't match." Chu Xuan objected.
"How do you know that we are not compatible? How can you, a man, be better than me, a woman, when it comes to picking flowers?" Liu Yifei said.
"What does this have to do with being a man or a woman?" Chu Xuan opened his mobile phone to search and handed it to Liu Yifei to see: "Look, the beautiful woman is curled up in the beautiful curtain at night, and the lady is leaning against the jade tower with her fragrance in her arms. The wind is warm and the moon is bright, and she is falling.
, vaguely lingering in Yangzhou. This is used to describe peony. It has a lot of charm. Do your roses have this charm?"
Before Liu Yifei could read the whole story, she heard Zhang Shaohan in the back row getting suspicious: "Are you sure this isn't Xiao Huang's poem?"
Chu Xuan looked confused, turned around and said helplessly: "You should read more books!"
Liu Yifei covered her stomach and crouched with laughter, saying: "Angela, tell me honestly, did you fail the Chinese language test?"
Being hit by the couple in turn, Zhang Shaohan pursed his lips with a "hum" sound.
Liu Yifei calmed down and said interestingly: "It has charm, but the charm was destroyed by Angela, so my rose is better."
"Now, look at this." Chu Xuan found another poem: "The pure soul is surrounded by smoke, the skin is rich and greasy, and the graceful spring breeze is graceful. Isn't this word describing you? Peony is so good."
Being praised suddenly, Liu Yifei didn't expect it. She looked at Chu Xuan happily, raised a finger to lift Chu Xuan's chin, and said with great satisfaction: "Then it's peony."
"That's right." Chu Xuan said.
"There is no peony in January." Liu Xiaoli's voice came from the co-pilot.
The couple was startled, and Chu Xuan said, "I didn't tell you earlier."
Liu Xiaoli said: "I'm tired of watching you show affection every day. Now it's fun to hear you bickering. I'm very happy."
"Hahaha..." Zhang Shaohan, who was in the back seat, spread out on the seat and said happily, "Auntie, you are amazing!"
She was laughed at by the couple just now, and now she is laughing to death from both of them. This is called a turn of events.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei met a pair of joking eyes that turned around. They were really on the verge of tears. They had mixed feelings when meeting such a precious old lady.
