Chapter 356 The Wedding We Want

After leaving the Academy of Sciences, Zhao Yuxi's work focus shifted. The wedding was to be held in early December, but it was already the end of October. The invitations had to be sent out by the end of November at the latest, and before that, everything had to be ready.

On the high-speed train to Guyuan City, Zhao Yuxi made a simple wedding plan. She unfolded the realm of blinded perception and talked to Gu Tingzhou about it: "We will hold the wedding in December, and we will be a little busy next month. How about we choose the clothes first? My wedding dress, your suit. No, it doesn't matter whether you wear a suit or not, we don't have to be bound by all these red tape."

Zhao Yuxi had never seen Gu Tingzhu wearing a suit. When he met with directors and subordinates, he wore ordinary clothes, which could be described as generous and decent, but far from solemn and dignified. He probably didn't like suits very much. Therefore, after she proposed the suit, she changed this usually required option into an optional option.

Gu Tingzhou's work focus also shifted. Animation, story, recruitment, all these things had to be put on hold. The most important thing right now was the wedding.

"Will my relatives and friends have a bad opinion if I don't wear a suit?" Gu Tingzhou didn't want to wear a suit, but he didn't want to be criticized even more.

"The rules we set and are willing to abide by are called rules. Those that are not set by us may be cancelled at any time, and those that we are unwilling to abide by are called bad habits. The weddings we hold and participate in are the ones we want, not the ones that others want. Our ideas are dominant, and the ideas of others are not important."

Zhao Yuxi didn't say "yes" or "no", but she didn't completely change the subject. The correct answer is "yes." "Other people's opinions don't matter," which means that others will definitely have different opinions.

Gu Tingzhu asked Zhao Yuxi questions not to get answers, but to give her the right to choose and the responsibility. He wanted to find an excuse for his "willfulness". Even if he made the wrong choice, when he thought about it later, he would think that it was Zhao Yuxi who asked him to do so.

But Zhao Yuxi is a more "willful" person than him, and she has a more "clever" reason to avoid being "willful". Then, let's be willful together.

"Well. We don't have to do things according to other people's ideas. But besides suits, are there any other clothes we can wear?" Gu Tingzhou really wanted to wear his everyday clothes, but he didn't need to think about it to know that everyday clothes were not suitable for that occasion.

Zhao Yuxi understood Gu Tingzhou's concerns: The clothes you want to wear are not too formal. If you show up at the wedding in a T-shirt, not only will the guests have opinions, but I... I also have a little opinion.

"You can wear anything formal, but don't dress too casually. We are all adults, and adults and minors have different living habits and lifestyles. Although the difference is not that big, we can't confuse them."

Gu Tingzhou's thoughts were exposed, and he said dejectedly: "Yes, adults have adult pressures. I understand. This time I won't avoid it anymore."

"Not necessarily. We can avoid it. Let's skip the item of clothes for now, or skip the item of your clothes for now, and look at the future, such as where to hold the wedding, what activities to hold at the wedding, and who to invite to attend? We can also be more detailed, what to eat that day, and the price of the food. These things must be considered, and we have to consider them together."

Gu Tingzhou had not thought about such details. In his conception, there were only the time of the wedding, the person who would hold the wedding, and the people who would attend the wedding. Other items had not yet been included in his schedule.

"Invite our colleagues, classmates, family members, and friends?" These were the most obvious things Gu Tingzhou could think of regarding the people who would attend the wedding.

"This is just a general framework. The general framework alone is not enough. When we have time, we will write down the names of the people we want to invite and then send them invitations. The time and place should be written on the invitation. Of course, the location has not been decided yet. In addition to the location of the wedding, the location of the wedding room must also be determined, and it is best if both are in the same city. Is there a city you particularly want to settle down in?" A city you particularly want to settle down in? Youlong City in the north and the big cities near rivers, lakes and seas in the south are all places Gu Tingzhou once wanted to go. After entering the new era, there are many observatories deep in the mountains and on both sides of the rivers. These places are relatively safe and suitable places to settle down.

Transportation may be inconvenient in the deep mountains. Although people can go wherever they want with the element miscibility, their relatives and friends cannot use the element miscibility. In contrast, the banks of the river should be better.

Zhao Yuxi is the spokesperson for the King of Dongting Lake. Living along the lake and the Yangtze River should be the best choice. However, that place is under Ye Lianshi's jurisdiction. No, it doesn't matter whose jurisdiction it is. We just live somewhere, not to seize power.

"Youlong City, Guyuan City, Jujiang City, Hujiang City."

"Forget Youlong City. The Research Institute and the Academy of Sciences are there. You can stay there occasionally, but not for long. However, if you hold the wedding there, it should be no problem. I live in Guyuan City and you live in Jujiang City. You want to go to Hujiang City because it is close to the observatory of the King of Dongting Lake, right?"

"Correct."

Zhao Yuxi knew that living in Hujiang City had many advantages: Hujiang City was very close to the Observatory and not far from Jujiang City. When the jurisdiction was expanded to three provinces in the future, the area south of the Yellow River would be given to Xu Yingze and Mu Zhengguang, the area north of Dongting Lake would be given to Gu Tingzhou, and the area south of Dongting Lake would be mine.

"I'll try harder and see when Ye Lianshi can leave the institute, or ask the dean to transfer him to another place to be the dean of a branch. The wedding will be held in Youlong City or Hujiang City. Next, we'll think about the wedding process. We should cut down on all the red tape, keep the useful ones, and get rid of the harmful ones."

Zhao Yuxi doesn't like red tape. The purpose of holding a wedding is to inform relatives and friends that she is married, and to treat them to a meal, that's all. As for whether she can receive gifts, how many gifts she can receive, and what the families and friends of both sides need to do for her wedding, she doesn't care. She also doesn't like the rules for marrying a girl home, and those rules for good luck.

In her opinion, marriage is very simple. After receiving the confession, she and Gu Tingzhou immediately got the marriage certificate, without even having a wedding.

Gu Tingzhou agreed with Zhao Yuxi's view: marriage is a matter between two people and has nothing to do with other people. It is enough to hold a wedding and invite them to have a meal. If possible, the programs at the wedding can be omitted.

Gu Tingzhou said: "If we skip all the red tape, our wedding will be very simple."

"It's better to keep it simple. Weddings in the new era should be simpler. I want to issue a new decree after we get married. It will not be issued by me personally, but by my secretary. This decree is used to protect marriage. People in the Marriage Management Park have a major task, which is to promote the decree to protect marriage. This decree is much more complicated than the order to maintain dignity, and it involves more situations."

Gu Tingzhou could imagine why this decree was more complicated. Marriage was not as simple as dignity. The decree to protect marriage was more complicated, more comprehensive, and more beneficial to the world. He took the initiative to take on the responsibility of writing the decree: "The new decree is also written by us together."
