Chapter 332 A once-in-a-lifetime joyous occasion, how about... going a little crazy?
The proprietress's fingertips were beaming with joy as she counted the items twice, her eyes crinkling into slits with laughter.
"That young man is so straightforward! I'd like to share in your joy today!"
She turned around and took out two small packages from the camphor wood chest in the inner room, smiling as she handed them to Tang Xiaofu and Tang Xiaorui.
"Here, these are some extra dowry items from your aunt. I don't usually give these to just anyone!"
The two sisters opened it with a puzzled look, and their cheeks instantly turned red.
Inside were two silk bodices embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water and lotus scrolls. They were made of light and soft material, and the colors were delicate water red and light pink. The edges were also decorated with fine silver tassels. The style was exquisite and had a touch of allure.
Tang Xiaorui's eyes lit up instantly. She squeezed the soft fabric and secretly glanced at Lin Feng's face.
Tang Xiaofu's ears burned bright red, and she hurriedly stuffed her bodice into her bundle, her breathing becoming lighter.
The proprietress saw this and jokingly said with a smile:
"The bride will be even more adorable at night wearing this!"
Lin Feng stepped forward and smiled gently at the proprietress:
"Thank you so much for your kindness, ma'am. You're very thoughtful."
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it. The wedding dress, wedding clothes, phoenix crown, hairpin, shawl, and the two small bibs that had just been given were all rolled up by a gentle force and put into his personal space.
The proprietress's gaze towards Lin Feng completely changed:
"Turns out this young man isn't just rich and powerful, he's a hidden master! He even has the legendary magic pocket, that's incredible!"
Tang Xiaorui immediately reached out and tightly hooked her arm around Lin Feng's, raising her chin and saying crisply:
"Of course! My husband is the most capable and reliable person in the world! He even has a huge mansion, like a castle, in the Anning Quadrant!"
Tang Xiaofu quickly and quietly nudged her sister, giving her a quick look to signal her not to be so conspicuous.
The proprietress smiled and waved her hand:
"It's alright, it's alright, I wouldn't kidnap your husband, would I?"
"Good heavens! I thought you two sisters had married a human, but now it seems—you've clearly stumbled into the heavenly realm and married a truly important person!"
Lin Feng smiled calmly: "It's just a place to stay, not as important as the people around me."
The landlady gave Lin Feng a thumbs-up in approval: "You're a wise man! True happiness isn't about houses, it's about people's hearts."
........................
The three said goodbye to the clothing shop, chatting and laughing all the way to the general store deep in the market.
The shop owner was a kind-looking middle-aged man who was bent over making bamboo lanterns. He only looked up when he heard footsteps.
"What would you three like to say?"
He paused abruptly, looked Lin Feng up and down, and said with some surprise, "Oh, a human?"
Lin Feng nodded lightly: "Yes, it's for a wedding, so I'm here to buy lanterns and red candles."
"Oh, this way please!" The shop owner immediately stood up enthusiastically and pointed to the side, "We have all kinds of lanterns, including big red 'double happiness' lanterns, dragon and phoenix lanterns, and lanterns with tassels."
Tang Xiaorui immediately rushed over excitedly, picking up this to look at, then holding up that to examine it, and excitedly turned around and shouted:
"Sis! This one with tassels is pretty! And this one with gold trim!"
As Tang Xiaofu read, she silently began to calculate in her mind—
Tonight we'll be holding the wedding ceremony in front of our house, and we also need to decorate the courtyard and the bridal chamber; nothing can be done carelessly.
The red candles should be a pair of dragon and phoenix wedding candles for the wedding ceremony, and four small red candles should be placed in the room to symbolize a perfect pair.
As for lanterns, there are two at the main entrance, four inside, and six strings of small lanterns to decorate the corridor, which is both auspicious and beautiful.
After thinking it through, she whispered to Lin Feng:
"We'll buy a pair of dragon and phoenix wedding candles, four small red candles, two lanterns for the main entrance, four for the interior, and six strings of lanterns. That should be enough."
Listening to her well-organized arrangements, Lin Feng secretly praised her, thinking that she was indeed the deputy director and that she could plan everything so clearly and meticulously.
He looked up towards the zoo and slowly began to speak:
"Since this is a once-in-a-lifetime joyous occasion, why not... go a little crazy?"
Tang Xiaofu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Lin Feng smiled faintly, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable certainty:
"I don't just want to decorate the front door; I want the entire zoo, from the gate to the roadside, to be covered with red lanterns."
"Just give me three hundred lanterns."
Upon hearing this, all three people on the spot were stunned.
Tang Xiaofu subconsciously tugged at his sleeve: "Three hundred? Isn't that too many? We won't need them at all..."
But Tang Xiaorui's eyes lit up instantly, and she grabbed Lin Feng's arm, her face flushed with excitement.
"Wow! This is so romantic! The whole zoo is decorated with red lanterns, it's so beautiful and so ceremonial! I agree, I agree!"
The shop owner was startled, his gaze towards Lin Feng instantly shifting from that of an ordinary customer to one of awe, and he quickly calculated in his mind—
Three hundred lanterns, plus red candles and the character for "double happiness"—this is the biggest order we've had in a while!
If he succeeds, it will be enough for him to make a living for half a year!
He quickly rubbed his hands together, his tone becoming more respectful: "Sir, you are very generous! I have three hundred lanterns to spare, and I guarantee they will all be sturdy and beautiful!"
Tang Xiaofu still hesitated: "It's really too much, it'll be a waste..."
Lin Feng looked down at her, his voice gentle yet firm:
"It's not a waste. You are the two best girls in the world, and you deserve all these lights in the garden!"
With just a few simple words, Tang Xiaofu felt a warmth in her heart, her eyes welled up with tears, and she could no longer say anything in protest. She simply nodded.
Lin Feng added, "Give me one hundred 'double happiness' stickers."
"Alright!" The shopkeeper was overjoyed, quickly calculating, "Sir, three hundred lanterns, one hundred 'double happiness' characters, plus a pair of dragon and phoenix wedding candles and four small red candles, totaling ten thousand ghost coins!"
Lin Feng nodded, then, remembering the limited capacity of his personal space, said:
"We have too much stuff, could you please deliver it to our door, right to the zoo entrance?"
"No problem! It will definitely be delivered within an hour!" The shop owner patted his chest and readily agreed.
Lin Feng casually took out two thousand ghost coins and handed them over: "This is the deposit. I'll pay you the remaining eight thousand when the goods are delivered."
"Okay! Okay!" The shopkeeper quickly took it, his eyes crinkling into slits with a smile. "Don't worry, sir, I'll definitely pick the best for you!"
........................
After leaving the general store, the three of them went into a shop in the market that specialized in wedding gifts and drinks.
Just as Tang Xiaofu was about to pick according to the number of people, Lin Feng stepped forward and asked the boss to prepare a large quantity of the best quality wedding candy, wine, and cigarettes, enough for everyone in the zoo to use.
The shopkeeper quickly packed everything up, and Lin Feng paid without saying a word.
He then waved his hand and put all the wedding candies, wine, and cigarettes into his personal space.
The shopkeepers were amazed, remarking that the groom was a man of great talent.
........................
Walking along the forest path on the way back, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light, and a warm breeze caressed my face.
Looking at the two girls beside him, their eyes sparkling with joy, Lin Feng suddenly thought of modern weddings—
Luxury cars led the way, flowers paved the road, while they could only follow along the mountain path.
A slight softening of my heart, and a trace of guilt welled up within me.
He stopped and spoke softly:
"I'm sorry to trouble you, there are no luxury cars, no entourage... How about I carry you for a while?"
Tang Xiaorui's eyes lit up instantly. Without thinking, she jumped in front of him, raising her little hand high:
"Me first! Me first!"
