Chapter 36: Details and Preparation

Lu Ling'er and Gu Yichen were currently in the shop next to the cloth pile they'd been in earlier. This section of the shop was dedicated to wedding supplies. Several red lanterns hung on the exterior walls, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance. Inside, the shop was filled with a variety of festive red fabrics. Light streamed in through the windows, illuminating each piece of fabric with a warm glow. The shopkeeper greeted them warmly, a friendly smile on his face.

The two chose a bright red men's wedding suit, which stood out under the bright lights. The fabric shimmered, the exquisite embroidery seemed alive, and the delicate textures showcased the exquisite craftsmanship. Lu Linger chose a bright red fishtail wedding suit for herself. The tailoring was perfect, the lines were smooth, and it perfectly showcased her elegant temperament. Although the fabric and craftsmanship in the small town were a bit rough, she silently told herself: "Just like our small town life, these clothes may not be perfect, but they are also a testimony to our love."

They also ordered two sets of silk inner garments and two sets of red silk pajamas for each person. The shopkeeper smiled and explained, "Wearing red pajamas at a wedding symbolizes good luck and prosperity." Lu Ling'er and Gu Yichen nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with anticipation.

In addition to the attire, they also meticulously selected a complete set of wedding pillowcases, quilt covers, and bed mats. The fabrics were carefully selected to enhance the festive atmosphere. The shopkeeper meticulously took their measurements to ensure all items met their requirements.

When she walked out of the cloth shop, the streets were still bustling with people, and the green hills in the distance were shrouded in a layer of mist, appearing particularly peaceful. However, in this tranquility, Lu Linger's heart gradually sank. Her smile faded slightly in the sunlight, and her face became solemn. She took a deep breath, and her tone was filled with a hint of worry: "Yi Chen, do you really want to marry into our family? If you are just grateful, then there is no need. It is not too late to find your family to pay back the medical expenses when you have money in the future. Don't waste your life just for a favor."

A trace of astonishment flashed across Gu Yichen's face. His hands trembled slightly, clasped together, and he lowered his head in silence for a moment. He recalled every day he spent with Lu Ling'er. That sense of belonging and warmth was his only support after he lost his memory. He slowly raised his head, his eyes full of determination and sincerity: "Ling'er, I didn't make this decision out of gratitude. Although my memory is not complete, I felt a true sense of belonging and warmth during the days I spent with you. I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you, not just because of your help, but because I really want to live with you."

Lu Ling'er's eyes softened. She looked into Gu Yichen's, sensing the genuine affection he held deep within. A warmth welled up in her heart, mingled with worry about the future. She sighed softly, her voice tinged with fatigue and determination. "If that's the case, then let's continue this journey together. I hope we can spend the days ahead together, facing whatever difficulties we encounter together."

Gu Yichen smiled and nodded, holding Lu Linger's hand tightly, feeling her warmth and support. His voice trembled slightly: "I do."

A trace of worry crossed Lu Ling'er's face. She took a deep breath, her gaze cast into the distance, a hint of sorrow in her voice: "Yi Chen, my father and mother are still in the capital. I don't know if my mother has found a way to rescue my father." She recalled her childhood with her parents, her father's warm smile, her mother's gentle care, which was the warmest corner of her heart. She sighed slightly, her brow furrowed. "Our marriage must wait until they return. I can't marry you without them by my side. And my brothers and sisters also need to be notified and asked to return home from the academy."

Gu Yichen looked at her gently, his eyes revealing understanding and concern. He said softly, "I understand how you feel. These preparations are for our future, and the real future, of course, is shared with our family. I believe that no matter what difficulties we face, we will overcome them together."

Lu Linger nodded, a smile gradually returning to her face. She gently held Gu Yichen's hand, feeling the warmth and support he gave her. "Thank you, Yichen. We will get through this together. No matter what, I will be by your side."

The two gazed at each other, their hearts filled with hope for the future and deep longing for their family. They knew that this journey was not only for their own happiness, but also for laying a solid foundation for their family and their future. Although the road ahead was full of unknowns, the preparations and each other's companionship at this moment had already brought them endless warmth and determination.

Afterward, they went to a nearby grocery store and bought seeds, colorful beans, and some seasonings and spices. Lu Ling'er gently caressed the seeds, as if caressing hope for the future. Next, they went to the grain and oil shop to buy rice and flour, and finally, at the butcher's stall, they bought leftover pork and unsold bones. Returning to the parked pony, Gu Yichen loaded his purchases into the carriage and drove back to his home in Taohua Village.

However, they were unaware that, throughout this process, a mysterious figure was secretly observing them from outside the cloth shop. Dressed in black, his gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, and he held the reins tightly in his hand. He followed on horseback from a distance, silently following them all the way until Gu Yichen and his companions returned to Taohua Village. Only then did the mysterious figure stop and watch them disappear down the path at the village entrance. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes, fearing that Gu Yichen would notice. After all, Gu Yichen's martial arts skills were unmatched in the Tianqi Dynasty. As smoke from the village's cooking stoves curled up, the mysterious figure's horse disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.
