Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 214

Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan’s wedding was scheduled on October 14th, the first weekend after the Open, and it was also an auspicious day for marriage.

Gu Jialing took the initiative to take care of the wedding preparations with all his strength, and the venue was naturally his resort that had been completed but not yet officially opened.

In his resort, as he planned, three-quarters of the area had been built into a botanical garden, lined with trees, combined with mountains and rivers, very suitable for leisure. The remaining quarter was an ancient garden designed by Gu Jialing himself. After posting the beautiful pictures he took on the Internet, some netizens misunderstood that it was a classical garden in the south of Yangtze River.

Because Gu Jialing said that he had a surprise for the three of them, Su Miaomiao and the others were not allowed to visit in advance, so it was not until the afternoon before the wedding that Su Miaomiao and other relatives and friends finally moved in.

Gu Jialing said, “The announcement will be made tomorrow night, you should concentrate on preparing to be a bride first!”

If Su Miaomiao were a cat, she would have explored the entire resort to find the surprise Gu Jialing hidden. But as a human being who was busy preparing for a grand wedding, even if she spared a little time, the resort was too big to be explored in half a day.

She didn’t have time to explore, and Xie Jingyuan was also busy, so he couldn’t help her if he wanted to.

Xu Shou was free, but he was not interested in that kind of thing. Anyway, Gu Jialing would show them the surprise the next night, so there was no need to think about it much.

Su Miaomiaon, who was about to go to bed, was still messaging Gu Jialing: What kind of surprise is it?!

Gu Jialing: Go to sleep. The dark circles under your eyes will not look good in pictures tomorrow.

Xu Shou: If you don’t tell her in three minutes, I’ll go over and beat you.

Gu Jialing: You people! How can it be a surprise if I tell her?!

Gu Jialing: Forget it, I’ll tell her. I built a temple that looks exactly like Qingxu Temple in the most beautiful place in the garden where visitors are not allowed to go!

If it wasn’t for the fear that the group of relatives and friends would not be able to accept the wedding in the temple, Gu Jialing would have wanted to make it there.

Gu Jialing: Don’t go too far! Without building the temple, the Taoist master and his wife’s temple will just be virtually made!

Su Miaomiao thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she admitted the surprise.

After her curiosity was satisfied, she quit chatting and went to sleep peacefully.

Gu Jialing: Taoist Master, are you nervous? Let me tell you, I also spent a lot of money to carve statues of the patriarch and Sanqing Tianzun (three highest Taoist deities), which are exactly the same as the ones in the temple, and they have been moved there, so that they could witness your wedding with Su Miaomiao together.

Xie Jingyuan did not speak for a long time.

Gu Jialing: Taoist Master, did you fall asleep? Xu Shou?

Xu Shou was silent.

Although he felt that the Taoist master married Su Miaomiao for a good reason, and that he deserved to be worthy of the patriarch, he felt that something was wrong.

At that time, Xie Jingyuan finally sent a message: Send me the address, and I will consecrate (state formally that a place or an object can be used for religious purposes) the patriarch and the others.

In the middle of the night, Xie Jingyuan, the groom-to-be, led two connoisseurs who were not Taoists, and went to consecrate the four statues.

The consecration ceremony was over at one o’clock in the morning.

Gu Jialing yawned after walking out of the side hall dedicated to the patriarch.

If he had known that there would be a consecration, he would have told the Taoist master in advance, so that he would not have to worry about it that night.

He was so sleepy that when going down the mountain, Gu Jialing slipped and fell. Luckily, Xu Shou pulled him up on time.

Gu Jialing was not injured, so Xu Shou turned his head to look at the temple hidden in the darkness, and asked in a low voice, “Taoist Master, won’t the patriarch be angry?”

“Why would he be? In the future, the patriarch will only be happy to be here.”

Xu Shou observed his expression, and saw that the Taoist master was as indifferent as ever, so he dispelled the doubt in his heart.

At dawn, Su Miaomiao got up early to get dressed.

The bridesmaids were already by her side, including her cousin Tang Yan, her roommates from the university, and Cheng Yue and Feng Xiaoyu whom she had known since kindergarten.

The wedding was a Chinese-style one, so naturally Su Miaomiao wore a phoenix crown and Xiapei. (embroidered wedding dress) 

The wedding dress was dotted with sparkling jewels and decorated with gemstone flowers.

“Miaomiao is the most beautiful and luxurious bride,” Cheng Yue commented enviously while taking pictures.

Su Miaomiao stretched out her two feet and was very satisfied with that pair of beautiful shoes.

She was a white cat, and she preferred that kind of snow-white wedding dress. Gu Jialing insisted on holding a Chinese-style wedding. In order to happily wear the phoenix coronet and Xiapei, he could only let her pick the wedding dress she liked. Fortunately, both Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan could afford the luxury.

When the auspicious time came, Xie Jingyuan drove a BMW to the garden where Su Miaomiao was staying.

Originally, Gu Jialing wanted to prepare real horses and sedan chairs, but the real horses could get out of control easily, so he compromised at that step.

The bride Xie Jingyuan received was covered with a veiling embroidered with red and gold thread.

Su Miaomiao wanted to lift the veil to look at him, but Xie Jingyuan took her hand first and said, “Wait a little longer. I will help you remove it by then.”

Su Miaomiao obediently sat beside him.

The car slowly drove to the wedding venue.

The relatives and friends had gathered together.

Su Mingan, Tang Shiwei, Xie Rong and Qiao Lili both sat in the main seats because they wanted to pay homage to the high hall.

Xie Rong was really happy and always had a smile on his face.

Qiao Lili also tried her best to smile like a loving mother instead of putting on a flattery smile.

In the past, Xie Jingyuan was very good, so good that she was envious and jealous, jealous that Xie Jingyuan took away all Xie Rong’s attention from their children.

But Xie Jingyuan, who had studied in university, was so outstanding that he developed a super hair growth serum.
