The pomegranate flowers that bloom in May are as red as fire and have a fire-like brilliance.
This is the only plant left at the base of the walls of the two courtyards after they were renovated, simply because pomegranates symbolize fertility and good fortune.
Xu Zheng got up at half past five in the morning.
"Bang bang..." There was a sound of hitting sandbags, like a gust of wind and rain, and then there was the sound of whip legs kicking the sandbags... This exercise lasted for an hour, and combined with the six-character mantra breathing method, many It's like I don't feel tired.
Can this breathing method really cultivate inner Qi?
Xu Zheng has never taught the Six-Character Mantra Breathing Technique to outsiders. The main reason is that persistence in the breathing technique is important. If it is not effective, even if you teach it to others, they will not believe it and they may think you are just copying it from the Internet.
Moreover, the breathing method produced by the system is definitely effective so far, and it belongs to the highest secrets of the sect. How would he explain it if he spread it to the outside world, and found it blindly on the Internet?
Ancestors of the Xu family?
When I was a kid, the mysterious beggar sold each book for two yuan?
This is not like simulated portraits and skull reconstructions. You can teach yourself based on your talent. If you say that you are self-taught in breathing method, who would believe it?
Besides, the more precious something is, the less likely it is to be passed on lightly. Perhaps in ancient times, the masters of various sects taught the secret skills and kept them for a while, or they could only teach them after three years of entry and three years of working. There is a certain truth to these regulations.
Therefore, Xu Zheng thought about it for a long time and did not pass it to Niu Panpan for the time being.
After an hour, grandma and the others got up one after another. Knowing that Xu Zheng and the others were going to take wedding photos today, grandma came over and gave him 20,000 yuan. Uncle Han gave him 5,000 yuan from his personal money, and Aunt Tian came over and gave him 20,000 yuan.
this?
Although they gave Xu Zheng money separately, the wedding photos cost more than 10,000 yuan. Xu Zheng didn't want to defraud them of their money. After asking, they found out that they wanted their two children to rent beautiful wedding dresses. Beautiful.
Or just buy a set.
Wedding dresses range in price. You can find them online for 200 yuan, but customized ones are more expensive, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, or even millions. Renting one for millions can cost thousands or even tens of thousands for a day.
She is beautiful, dragging a gauze skirt more than ten meters long, doesn't she look like a fairy?
Xu Zheng's opinion is that it's fine for tens of thousands of yuan, but not for more than 50,000 yuan. There is no other way. People who eat national food should keep a low profile.
When the time comes to get married, leaders and colleagues will definitely not be invited to the scene. Should the leaders from both sides be invited together or separately? Wait, thinking about these things gave him a headache.
During Han Rui's free time, the adults discussed their arrangements for Labor Day. Tian Xinyue had to work overtime as the deputy director of the subdistrict office. Han Dongwen had nothing to do, but he had already made an appointment with a friend to go fishing in the suburbs. Well , before leaving, he said that he would give everyone a big meal for dinner.
It's a pity that his fishing skills are not good. He has never brought back a fish weighing more than two kilograms. Even a pickled fish is not enough.
Grandma Su Tongyun also has something to do. She has to go to the supermarket to help. Supermarkets are busy during holidays. If they don't take wedding photos today, Han Rui will probably run over to help early in the morning.
After a while, Han Rui yawned and went downstairs. It was obvious that she had not slept well at night. The three adults looked at Xu Zheng and then at Han Rui. Well, the focus is on the stomach...
I don’t know if they are looking for her in such a hurry. It has not been a month since Xu Zheng and the two of them had a relationship. Even if they form a seed, it will take three or four months for their belly to show.
Before eating, Han Rui took out folic acid tablets and took one with Xu Zheng each before starting to eat. Han Rui still felt a little sleepy, "Mom, were you excited when you and my dad took wedding photos? I didn't feel like it all night. Have a good sleep.
Tian Xinyue did not answer directly. Instead, she looked at her grandma and said, "Xiaorui, have you bought a pregnancy test stick? Have you tested it?"
Grandma also said beside her: "Pregnant women tend to get sleepy, so I will buy it for you when I come back in the evening."
After such a long time, Han Rui is no longer shy about talking about this matter at home, "I don't think so. It's because I was too excited last night and Xiaozheng snored too loudly when he slept."
Xu Zheng lowered his head hurriedly, "My fault, my fault. I went to participate in the SWAT competition yesterday and came back too tired, so I was snoring loudly. I heard someone say that buying a U-shaped lock with a stuck nose online, It can cure snoring, I’ll buy one and try it later.”
Grandma nodded quickly, "Then buy it quickly. The more tired you are, the louder your snoring becomes. You really need to be treated. Otherwise, if you have a child in the future and the child is fussy, how can Xiaorui sleep if you continue to snore?"
Snoring is indeed a disease, and it is difficult to cure. You can take Chinese medicine or Western medicine. However, as soon as the medicine stops, the snoring starts again. Xu Zheng can only try the physical method mentioned on the Internet. If it doesn't work, then he will no solution anymore.
Anyway, removing nasal polyps to treat snoring is probably not the best method.
How is this different from having a vasectomy for contraception?
Whoever does it will regret it!
Han Rui cleverly avoided the topic, "Mom, you haven't said where you and my dad took the wedding photos?"
Tian Xinyue thought for a while, "I think it seems that we have been taking wedding photos for 30 years. Time flies so fast. It seems to be 2005, when your dad and I just started working. Yes, Old Han, that year We went to Lianyungang beach to take wedding photos, right?
Now that I think about it, going outside to shoot is not only tiring but also tiring. "
Han Dongwen added next to him: "Back then, when we went to shoot in other places and added four sets of clothes, it seemed like it was only 6,000. Now it has doubled."
Tian Xinyue suddenly thought of something, "Xiao Rui, it seems you have to buy strapless underwear or something, don't forget it. There is no need to be nervous when taking wedding photos. When the time comes, professional photographers will become cross talk masters and will definitely amuse you. It’s a joy and a joy.”
"Aunt Tian, they say that men are like pillars when taking wedding photos. Is this the case?"
Han Dongwen was happy first, "Xiao Zheng, what else are you thinking about? If you can stand the pillar well, you are an excellent husband!"
Tian Xinyue was not happy, "That's because you are ugly. If you were as handsome as Xiaozheng, I would definitely take a few frontal photos of you."
Han Rui lowered her head and smiled to herself, and explained in a low voice to Xu Zheng, "Except for the big one in the bedroom, my parents' wedding photos were all from the side, hehe..."
However, Xu Zheng felt that this was nothing. Men thought that these wedding photos were of no use and basically wouldn't worry about them. Therefore, handsome or ugly didn't matter to Xu Zheng.
Arriving at the Elephant Wedding Photography Studio at eight o'clock, Huang Xinyi was already waiting here. After being polite, Xu Zheng settled the balance and decided whether the wedding dress on the wedding day would be customized or rented.
As for the wedding photos that were taken for the wedding day, Xu Zheng took all of them. It’s not far from here anyway, so don’t take them for nothing.
The next step is to choose three indoor outfits to warm up the two newcomers.
When he walked into the fitting room of their photo studio, not to mention, the clothes were no less than those found in big shopping malls. Without a nameplate, Xu Zheng couldn't recognize it, and it seemed like he wouldn't recognize it even if there was a nameplate.
Accompanied by the makeup artist, Han Rui and Huang Xinyi began to choose clothes, but there were too many clothes, and they both didn't know what to choose.
The makeup artist and assistant were obviously very experienced. They took out a tablet and said, "Ms. Han, this is the effect of our new sets of clothing. These sets are not our models, but our models this month." Clients, because the photos are so beautiful, with their permission, we only show them to prospective clients.”
Han Rui opened the booklet and saw that they were indeed very beautiful.
Can it not be beautiful?
This is a wedding photo. Even if you are not beautiful, the makeup artist's skills can make you look like a fish.
"Come on Xiaozheng, you can help me choose." Han Rui waved her hand to Xu Zheng.
Han Rui, who was indoors, wanted to take a group of colorful wedding dresses, a group of festive flower arrangements, and finally a group of landlord-style photos.
To be honest, Xu Zheng was not interested in this, but he was not willing to let go of the opportunity to see a beautiful woman in such an open and honest manner, "Sister Xiaorui, you let me see this."
Han Rui said angrily: "Hurry up and see if we can finish filming today."
The group of photos on the tablet were particularly beautiful, but Xu Zheng saw that it was easy for occupational diseases to occur in such photos, so he liked to return to his true nature in the photos where he wore heavy makeup and selected them on the computer.
Therefore, at this time, Xu Zheng stared at a photo with squinted eyes, which was a bit abnormal no matter how you looked at it.
Han Rui and Huang Xinyi looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Xu Zheng's problem made people speechless. If it weren't for the fact that there were many sketches of men in his studio, Han Rui would really suspect that he was secretly looking at beautiful women in the name of work. .
Xu Zheng's weirdness made the makeup artist and assistant look at each other in confusion, but the boss personally ordered them not to treat Miss Han lightly, especially Miss Huang who came with her.
What also makes them feel strange is that Miss Huang seems to be fawning over the two newcomers, but Miss Han's boyfriend is staring at the tablet like this. Is he sure his girlfriend won't be angry?
Although Xu Zheng suffered from an occupational disease, he also knew that this was not the time to carefully study the appearance of the women in these photos. Therefore, after looking at several photos of women, he handed them to Han Rui, "Sister Xiaorui, I really like this." There's nothing you can do to help, you and Huang Xinyi can study it, I'll go out and make a phone call."
Han Rui felt that Xu Zheng obviously had a problem, but at this time today, she hesitated and let Xu Zheng handle it by himself. If there was an emergency, it would still be the same if the wedding photos were taken another day.
As a police family member, time is not all yours. In principle, Han Rui supports Xu Zheng's work. Of course, if Xu Zheng runs away because of work on the wedding day, huh, he will be punished by not being able to go to bed for a month!
No, this seems like punishing myself again.
Han Rui thought about it again and again, and could only comfort herself first. Even if Xu Zheng went to perform the mission at that time, the leaders of the police force would not let him go. The world would continue to turn around no matter who left it.
Seeing Han Rui's silence, Huang Xinyi hurriedly stepped forward to explain to him, "Xiao Rui, what's wrong? Are you worried that Xu Zheng will come to work again? Don't worry, I asked that stupid guy Xu Zheng to go to their colleagues' group yesterday. Sent a message.
At this time, their leaders should also know that Xu Zheng is taking wedding photos, and they will definitely not contact Xu Zheng for tasks that are not particularly urgent. "
Han Rui was not worried about this, she was just worried about the wedding day, but she didn't explain it to Huang Xinyi. Did she also tell Huang Xinyi that she was worried that Xu Zheng would run away from the wedding on October 1?
This is so embarrassing!
"I saw the look on Xu Zheng's face. From what I know about him, he saw these photos. Sister Xinyi, today's wedding photo shoot may be in trouble."
Xu Zheng went out because he had just seen the wedding photos of six or seven couples. Among them, there was someone who clearly caught his attention. What profession was he? He was a senior simulation portrait artist, a criminal police officer, and he had an expert memory.
In addition, he had sketched the criminals on the A/B level arrest warrants released by the Ministry of Public Security over the years, as well as the fugitive suspects in the intranet. Not just once or twice.
There is no way, other people's leisure and entertainment time is to browse Douyin and various short videos, but Xu Zheng is either sketching or carving. Most of the carvings here are bone carvings. Bone carvings, as the name suggests, are skilled in this game, human skeletons. The ability to identify injuries will also be greatly improved.
In addition, after becoming a criminal police officer, Xu Zheng no longer had time to go to the night market street in the university town. He could only draw the people around him. After drawing the people around him, he would draw these arrests and fugitive suspects.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Zheng put down his phone and returned to the fitting room. He wanted to ask clearly before speaking, so as not to make a mistake and ruin a good marriage.
Seeing Xu Zheng come in so quickly, Huang Xinyi thought nothing happened and put down her worries. However, Han Rui knew Xu Zheng well, and it was obvious that Xu Zheng was hiding something in his heart at this time.
Xu Zheng came in and didn't mention what happened just now, "How's it going, Sister Xiaorui, have you chosen? When will I choose my clothes? I have to pick something handsome."
Huang Xinyi snorted, "You don't understand this. The groom should choose the clothes that match the bride. Why are you in a hurry? I will let the makeup artist accompany you to choose."
Han Rui did not stand up to choose the two new clothes she had already chosen. Instead, she took the tablet over and found the seven or eight couples' wedding photos that Xu Zheng had just seen. "Xiao Zheng, are you Found a fugitive in here?”
Xu Zheng was not surprised by Han Rui's understanding of him. There was no way around it. The two had grown up together, and Xu Zheng had grown up with Han Rui. She knew Xu Zheng's every move very well.
For example, when two people are playing sports, Han Rui will know exactly what position Xu wants to play when Xu slaps his hand, and is usually willing to satisfy him.
This is why Huang Xinyi complained about Han Rui's love for Xu Zheng all day long, making this man no longer able to tolerate another woman in his heart.
For now, if Han Rui is selfish, she should follow Xu Zheng's words and not mention what happened just now, but she still feels that since Xu Zheng has discovered the problem, as a police officer, she should try her best to protect the life and moral safety of law-abiding citizens.
If you can take wedding photos in the early stage of May Day, there is a high probability that you will get married during Labor Day. As a woman, if the husband you are about to marry has broken the law and becomes a fugitive suspect, if it is such a heinous crime, Xu Zhengneng can remind you as early as possible , then the harm this woman suffered would be much less.
In the flower country, as long as the wedding does not take place, it is not considered a marriage morally. Of course, legally, if two people get a marriage certificate, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
As both women, and as women about to get married, Han Rui found out about this through Xu Zheng, and she wanted Xu Zheng to figure it out now.
Han Rui took the tablet and asked the makeup artist, "Xiaoxiao, I'll take you for a while. My boyfriend is a criminal police officer from the city bureau. I want to ask you some questions. Don't be nervous."
Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment and soon understood what Han Rui was thinking. He didn't say anything and held Han Rui's little hand under the table.
Chu Xiaoxiao was really stunned. She didn't know what to do for a moment. She felt a little urgent to urinate, "Then...sister Han, can I go to the bathroom first?"
Huang Xinyi still doesn't understand what Han Rui and Xu are playing in riddles, but it doesn't matter. She can just sit here and eat melon. It seems normal for Xu to catch a criminal here, otherwise how could it be him? What about the man you want to sleep with?
Xu Zheng saw that the makeup artist was very nervous. She clamped her legs together so hard that she was shaking a little. "Don't be afraid, I'll just ask you something."
As he spoke, Xu Zheng turned to a wedding photo, pointed at the two people and asked, "Are you sure the wedding photos of these two newlyweds were taken at your place?"
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Zheng and asked himself with a smile. It was obviously not looking for him. Also, I didn't break the law, so why did I feel guilty?
She calmed herself down, glanced at Han Rui and Huang Xinyi again, saw them nodding, and then said: "These two newcomers were filmed here. Let me tell you the truth, these two people are my clients. These clients We generally don’t leak information out of fear that they will turn around and hold us accountable.”
Xu Zheng understood what she meant. She just took out this tablet to attract customers for herself. Everyone knows these unspoken rules. "Do you know when their wedding will be held? By the way, do you know the names of these two people?"
"Let me check the names. Their wedding is today. I remember it very clearly. Their wedding photos were taken at our place during the Qingming Festival last month." Chu Xiaoxiao took out her mobile phone and operated it for a while, "This couple The boy’s name is Sun Jun, the girl’s name is Qian Zhiqi, and they are about 26 years old.”
Han Rui saw Xu Zheng getting entangled and asked quickly: "Xiao Zheng, do you have any worries? Are you worried that if they get married today and make a mistake, their wedding will be delayed? It depends on what this man has committed. , if it is a major criminal case, why are you hesitating?
We can also take our wedding photos another day. "
As soon as Huang Xinyi heard Han Rui's statement, she immediately stood up, walked towards her, glanced at the tablet in her hand, pointed at the man in the photo and cursed: "As soon as I saw this man, I knew he was wearing glasses to pretend to be honest. Man, I don’t know what’s going on in my stomach...”
Xu Zheng was speechless, "When did I tell you it was this man? This woman is obviously a fugitive suspect, but I remember she seemed to have committed quite a minor crime." As he said this, he took out his mobile phone and took a photo , sent it to Qi Guangyuan, the city bureau's simulation portraitist, and then sent him a voice message, "Brother Qi, you remove the bridge of this woman's nose, shorten her chin, replace her double eyelids with single eyelids, and add more fat on both sides of her face." One point thicker. Then match it with the portrait of the fugitive suspect."
Han Rui and Huang Xinyi waited for Xu Zheng to finish the arrangements and asked quickly: "Xiao Zheng, you mean this woman, haha, I thought it was a man? What on earth did she commit? Can you tell me?"
The focus of Huang Xinyi's questions is never something that ordinary people can guess, "Xu Zheng, it's wrong for you to only check this woman. What if this man is also an accomplice."
Xu Zheng thought about it for a while, and if this man was the same, he couldn't rely too much on his own opinion. He took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the man and sent it to Qi Guangyuan.
"Actually, this man may not be. If I remember correctly, this woman committed crimes of fraud and organizing paid sports for both men and women.
I can't remember the others, but they seemed to be involved in the smoking trade.
If the man she is now married to knows what she has done and is still willing to marry her, this is definitely true love. "
