Xu Qingluo saw Xu's mother's red eyes and quickly sat down beside her. Xu's mother put her hands on the corners of her eyes and then smiled.

"It's okay, Mom just feels uncomfortable in her eyes. She'll be fine after a rest."

Xu Qingluo looked at Xu's mother. Xu's mother thought she had concealed it well, but Xu Qingluo could see the tears in the corners of her eyes clearly.

She knew that this was an excuse made by Xu's mother, so she didn't expose it.

"Mom, you have to have a good rest. You are going to be a mother-in-law."

"If I'm not in good shape by then, others will laugh at me."

Xu's mother laughed when she heard her words, then poked her forehead in annoyance: "You are the only one who can say that."

"Mom will wash your skirt and then you can take a rest."

"Let me wash it."

As soon as Xu Qingluo finished speaking, Xu's mother sternly refused, saying firmly, "No, I must come."

After saying this, Xu's mother took the two finished skirts to the backyard to wash them. Xu Qingluo looked at her back as she left, feeling a little sad and reluctant.

Xu's mother washed it very carefully. When it came to Xu Qingluo's wedding dress, she did it all herself, without anyone else doing it.

---

Time passed quickly, and Xu Qingluo's dowry was ready, including the dowry box, new bedding, new pillows, new watches, new clothes, passbooks, two sets of dresses, wedding shoes, and new clothes for the groom.

Xu Qingluo's entire dowry box was stuffed to the brim, and things like new bedding and pillows were placed separately, which she would take to Kyoto.

The time has come to August 16th. Today is not the day Xu Qingluo officially gets married, but just a day to have a banquet and entertain guests.

Now she doesn't have to stay in the room anymore. She can meet people and attend her own banquet.

Xu Qingluo was wearing a red dress and a pair of small leather shoes. Her hair was braided into a fishbone braid and placed on the right side of her shoulder. She looked less fairy-like than usual and more bright.

When Zhou Yuheng came home, he was dazzled by her outfit. His father and mother were also amazed by Xu Qingluo. His mother excitedly pulled his father's arm.

Oh my goodness, such a beautiful girl is her daughter-in-law!

Xu Qingluo usually dresses in a ladylike style, but her bright outfit today is even more eye-catching.

"do I look good?"

Xu Qingluo asked Zhou Yuheng, and Zhou Yuheng's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes were staring at her nakedly without any concealment.

His eyes were filled with admiration, amazement, and many other emotions, but they lacked the most primitive male desire.

He has always respected women, and respected his wife even more.

Zhou Yuheng nodded, his eyes full of seriousness, and answered her question very honestly: "It looks good."

Xu Qingluo's face was full of smiles when he heard his praise. The four elders told them to go out and toast later, and then went out to entertain the guests.

Many people came to the wedding banquet one after another, and everyone gave a red envelope. Some friends who had a good relationship with Xu's father and mother also added a dowry to Xu Qingluo.

Although the dowry added by Xu's parents' friends was not something precious, just a piece of red cloth or a box of cold cream, it was all blessings from them as elders to her.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu don't accept all gifts from everyone, but the ones they accept are only from their trusted friends and colleagues.

Zhou's father and mother were also there to warmly entertain the guests. The ingredients for today's wedding banquet were all bought by Zhou's father and mother after running around these days.

Moreover, each table has ten dishes, which means perfection. Five of them are meat dishes, and they are all big dishes.

"welcome."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Congratulations on finding a son-in-law."

Everyone who came to the banquet expressed their congratulations. Xu's father and mother welcomed the guests with a smile and accepted everyone's blessings one by one.

"thanks, thanks."

"Please come in quickly."

There were always smiles on the faces of Xu's father and mother. Everyone could tell at a glance that the Xu family was very satisfied with their son-in-law.

Soon the guests arrived one after another and the banquet officially began. Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng walked out to toast each guest one by one.

The guests who came to the wedding were all from government departments and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and they all had the most basic knowledge.

Everyone thought that the Xu family let their daughter marry a soldier to keep her away from disputes, but when Zhou Yuheng stood in front of everyone in military uniform with an imposing manner.

Everyone knows that the son-in-law of the Xu family is probably too simple-minded. His aura is not that of a young man raised by an ordinary family.

No one knows Zhou's mother. She basically does the rear-area work at home, but Zhou's father often appears at national meetings.

In addition, many senior officials from Shanghai government departments and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had previously gone to Kyoto to attend meetings and had met Zhou's father from afar.

At this moment, everyone knew that the marriage between the Xu family and the Zhou family was a perfect match. Xu's father was now under attack from all sides, so marrying his daughter to the Zhou family was a good move.

When the mayor of Hai City saw this, he narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but suppress the smile on his face. Then he stood up with his glass in hand and said a few words of congratulations to Xu's father.

"Congratulations to Vice Mayor Xu on finding a good son-in-law."

After seeing this, Mr. Xu also stood up, holding up his glass, and said a few official words: "No, no, the mayor's son-in-law is also very good."

Father Xu raised his hand to avoid hitting the mayor in the face. Mayor Hai curled his lips and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Father Xu then drank it in one gulp as well.

Then the mayor of Hai City toasted Zhou's father with another glass of wine. Zhou's father smiled and drank it in one gulp.

Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng were toasting at another table, and they were unaware of the bloody situation at the main table.

After toasting a few tables of wine, Xu Qingluo was a little drunk. Zhou Yuheng saw that her face was red and her steps were a little unsteady, so he found an opportunity to change her drink into boiled water.

"Will anyone find out?"

Xu Qingluo saw that Zhou Yuheng had replaced the wine in the bottles with warm water, and looked around worriedly, afraid that someone would see him.

"will not."

Xu Qingluo looked at him in confusion. This is warm water. Wouldn't others be able to tell by touching the bottle?

At first Xu Qingluo didn't understand why he was so firm, but she knew that throughout the whole toast, the bottle of warm water never left Zhou Yuheng's hand.

He always seems to be sure and confident in everything he does.

Xu Qingluo looked at the tall man beside her who gave her a sense of security, with indescribable admiration in her eyes. She admired his ability to grasp the overall situation.

After the toast, Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng also returned to the main table. In Xu Qingluo's bowl were the dishes picked for her by Xu's mother and Zhou's mother. Xu Qingluo sat down with a blushing face and lowered her head to eat.

After eating and drinking, Xu Qingluo began to feel a little drunk. He squinted his eyes and looked at everyone dazedly, and his sitting posture tilted a little towards Zhou Yuheng.
