Reborn As Super Heiress-Chapter 1685 - 1679: Jiufeng Four-Phoenix Crown

Which is more captivating to the public media, the Olympic opening ceremony or the grand wedding of the Gu Family?

It’s hard to say for certain.

In any case, on August 8th, all over the internet, television, news, newspapers, and official media, there was news about both the Olympic opening ceremony and the wedding of Gu Huo.

Several media outlets even provided live broadcasts of the wedding, from the entrance of the bridal car to the groom inviting the bride out of the car.

The bride, Huo Sining, wearing a specially made elegant wedding gown, with two flower children holding her train, exchanged vows with the groom in front of the priest. Finally, in front of everyone, the groom Gu Xu lifted the veil and bent down to give the bride a kiss full of love.

At that moment, all the guests stood up and applauded involuntarily. The live broadcast swept over the guest seats, revealing familiar faces. Many were surprised to see political giants, business elites, medical hereditary families, and even some foreign celebrities, such as the English Earl and WGC tycoons, at the wedding.

The union of Huo Sining and Gu Xu indeed garnered widespread attention. Although Huo Sining wished to keep a low profile, given her current status and the prominence of the Gu Family, staying low-key was nearly impossible.

Huo Sining was not part of the entertainment industry, yet many celebrities came to show their support. Due to the high praise for her new program on CCTV, several directors and TV producers also made appearances.

In addition, the family of the Gambling King Song Lifeng, Caesar and his father, as well as Adrian, attended. It can be said that there were people from all walks of life present. The grand wedding rented an outdoor golf course as the banquet venue, yet it still seemed a bit crowded.

After the Western wedding ceremony was completed, the traditional Chinese ceremony followed.

Huo Sining changed into a traditional red Chinese dress. Sister Hu, with her sharp eyes, had already spotted the box containing a set of jewelry that Huo Sining brought. While changing Huo Sining’s hairstyle, Sister Hu adorned her with the jewelry set.

Although not well-versed in jade, Sister Hu could tell at a glance that this jewelry set was worth a fortune.

Sister Hu marveled inwardly at the wealth, noting that even a simple set of jewelry for the rich could be worth millions.

The jewelry was a dowry set given to Huo Sining by Mr. Liang and Huang Chengxiang. When Gu Xu drove the bridal car to pick up people from the old residence, Huo Sining had tucked the box into the storage ring and brought it along.

Since she had to change into a Chinese dress, Huo Sining deliberately took out this jewelry set.

Although Mr. Liang and Huang Chengxiang could not attend her wedding, their jewelry set was a token of their affection. Huo Sining hoped to wear it during the Chinese portion of the wedding, as if receiving blessings from her elders.

The green jewelry against the bright red Chinese dress accentuated Huo Sining’s fair skin like snow. The fitted design of the dress, with a tightly tied belt, made her slender waist appear delicate and fragile, like a lady from an ancient painting, both classical and ethereal.

During the bowing ceremony, in the absence of Mr. Liang, Huang Family’s eldest uncle and her master Zhou Shitao represented Huo’s side. The saying goes, once a teacher, always a father; Zhou Shitao standing in for Huo’s elders was appropriate.

After bowing to each other, Gu Xu lifted the red veil. The emcee had already prepared tea, and the newlyweds offered tea to both sides’ elders.

Gu Xu took the teacup from the emcee and followed Huo Sining to kneel before the eldest uncle Huang Chengyi.

Huang Chengyi smiled throughout, accepting their tea. Hearing Gu Xu call him eldest uncle alongside Huo Sining, the old man nodded approvingly and took a sip of tea.

After finishing the tea, Huang Chengyi reached into his pocket and handed a red envelope to Huo Sining. Smiling, Huo Sining took the envelope, sweetly thanked her uncle, and then stood up to offer tea to Zhou Shitao.

Zhou Shitao took the teacup, and for some reason, his gaze suddenly fell on the jewelry set Huo Sining was wearing.

Zhou Shitao initially thought it was just an eye-catching set, recognizing its considerable value at first glance. However, he knew his student had many good things, so a full set of jewelry wasn’t particularly surprising.

But just a moment ago, his gaze caused him to pause unexpectedly.

This jewelry set was entirely different from ordinary ones, its crown framed with lacquered bamboo and adorned with jadeite. It was embellished with nine jadeite phoenixes and four golden phoenixes, each with pearls in their beaks.

The sides featured pearl trees and large beaded peonies, each tree with one blossom and a half-open bud, with nine green leaves.

The bottom had small beaded flowers like their larger counterparts, with each branch having a blossom and half-open bud, and five green leaves.

The double sideburns, four fans in total, were adorned with phoenixes, each trailing pearl droplets, with a pair of jade collars and beaded circular pendants, and a gold phoenix pattern on the frontal band using twenty-one beads.

Upon seeing the elaborate config of this headpiece, Zhou Shitao’s eyes revealed surprise and curiosity: "Huo girl, this jewelry set is really quite unique. Where did you get it from?"

Huo Sining, not understanding the implication, laughed and explained: "A gift from family elders, just a keepsake."

Zhou Shitao had assumed Huo Sining either got it as a bargain or spent a hefty price. Hearing it was a gift from elders, he was taken aback: "Jiufeng Four-Phoenix Crown, your elders are not only generous but also quite discerning!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Zhou Shitao’s words puzzled and intrigued Huo Sining: "What is the Jiufeng Four-Phoenix Crown?"

Zhou Shitao laughed: "It’s part of ancient royal ceremonial attire - one of the accessories of the phoenix coronet and robes. The clothing and accessories for various statuses were strictly regulated. The Jiufeng Four-Phoenix Crown was standard for princesses and consorts. It seems your elder treasures you greatly, treating you like a cherished gem."

Zhou Shitao had long known that Huo Sining had once apprenticed under an eccentric guru in Bashu, whose students were spread across the country. Later on, Huo Sining managed to retrieve a collection of artifacts from Dongdu National Museum with the help of a senior brother in Dongyang.
