After walking in, Zhou Changfeng bowed to Gao Lingling, who was walking slowly, and said, "My son-in-law has met Tai Shui."
The latter's brows relaxed and he replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Xiaoshi has just been packed up."
Next it was time for the bride to leave home and board the car, and several relatives had already begun to greet her.
In the west wing room, Xia Xiaoshi finally put on makeup and arranged her hair. When she heard that the team coming to welcome the bride finally arrived, she felt her heartbeat suddenly speed up.
Time after time, dong dong dong, very obvious. Excitement, longing, melancholy...all kinds of emotions are intertwined and lingering in my heart.
There is no need to describe the excitement and longing. As for the sudden feeling of loss that suddenly surged into my heart, it was simply the discomfort when abandoning the old identity.
The furnishings and decorations in this room, the various books on the bookshelf, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table, the guzheng in the corner, the wind chimes hanging in front of the window...
Many objects are carriers of memory, and together they constitute every bit of the girl’s cardamom years.
But now he has to separate from her and get married, which means that from now on, she will become part of the Zhou family.
Her gaze on the bookshelf gradually became blank, and she unconsciously wandered away.
She didn't come back to her senses until someone pushed the door open again from outside.
Xia Xiaoshi, who was thinking a lot, rechecked the hairpin to confirm that the bun was fixed, and then carefully put on the exquisite and fancy phoenix crown.
This thing weighs three kilograms, which is almost equivalent to a steel helmet. It can be said to be quite heavy for a girl.
When she walked out of the room, she saw Zhou Changfeng, who was chatting happily with Xia's father and mother.
Seeing this, her heart suddenly calmed down - with such a harmonious relationship, they will definitely be able to live in harmony in the future, and she will be able to return to her parents' home as she pleases.
"Are you nervous?" Zhou Changfeng reached out and took her hand, looked into her eyes and joked: "So serious? It's rare to see you look like this."
"Is there...is there any?"
The two slowed down their pace and crossed the threshold one to the left and the other to the right.
The door of the wedding car had been opened. Xia Xiaoshi got in first, followed by Zhou Changfeng.
Then, Xia's father, Xia's mother, and a group of relatives got into the other cars, and the motorcade set off again. The sound of gongs and drums weakened, but the sound of the suona was still loud.
The wedding car that was delayed due to breakdown was kicked out of the team. The wedding team who contracted the order knew that they were in the wrong and apologized repeatedly.
In this way, the long motorcade finally arrived at the Consultative Council on time.
Xie Wancheng and Yao Liangchuan, who were riding in the second off-road vehicle, submitted the approval document to the garrison stationed at the gate. The second lieutenant of the First Guards Division nodded and said solemnly: "The verification is correct, but only The wedding car can fit in.”
This is for sure. It is impossible to put the officers and soldiers of the 1st Marine Regiment into the Consultative Council.
So, everything went smoothly.
The majestic feeling brought by the main hall of the Consultative Council with double eaves and verandahs makes many people hold their breath. Hold a wedding here? It's really unimaginable.
The waiters of the Consultative Council who were well prepared communicated with Zhou Changfeng for a while, and then led everyone to climb the thirty-nine white marble steps from the side.
Although I have never had such experience before, it is not impossible to learn now. The Consultative Council is very particular and has decorated the auditorium to a very high standard.
Rows of red lanterns and strips of red curtains were hung above, and a wide red carpet was spread in the open space in the middle, leading directly to the high platform in front.
Under the guidance of the waiters, people attending the wedding came in one after another and took their seats. The person in charge of hosting the wedding today was also a very special person. It was Fang Shujun, the family leader of the Princess Mansion - the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and square glasses. people.
When the hour came, he blew the microphone gently, then stared at his watch and said loudly:
"The bride and groom have arrived at an auspicious time for their wedding ceremony. We sincerely invite you all to come and enjoy the harmony of the luan, the phoenix, and the music of the harp and harp together."
"Parents, Yousi, relatives and friends are in place."
"Heaven and earth are witnesses, mandarin ducks fly together, and new people are invited to take the stage."
A series of auspicious words poured out of his mouth as if they were free of charge. To be honest, Zhou Changfeng was wondering how he could speak these words so fluently and not be serious.
Later, the so-called "one bow to heaven and earth, two bows to heaven and earth" and the couple's bow to the high hall are actually a bit more complicated. Each link requires three bows respectively, and there are actually nine times in total.
Standing on the high platform, all you could see were relatives and friends, but these dozens of people only occupied a small corner of the auditorium, and the huge auditorium of the Consultative Council seemed empty.
Zhou Changfeng glanced at Xia Xiaoshi beside him. The latter was obviously quite nervous, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.
The two faced the front and bowed together three times.
"We worship together to heaven and earth. The first worship brings us a good relationship, the second worship brings us happiness in marriage, and the third worship brings us together."
"We bow to the high hall together. The first bow is to know our friendship, the second bow is to remember the kindness of relatives, and the third bow is to repay the spring sunshine."
Then he turned to face him and prayed three times.
"Husbands and wives bow to each other, bowing once to be united, bowing to each other to be united forever, bowing to each other to be united forever, and bowing to each other three times as if they were guests."
"The ceremony is completed——"
At this point, the grand wedding that had been prepared for a long time came to an end.
Zhou Roujia, Xia Bing and Gao Lingling also climbed onto the high platform and took photos with them.
After the dazzling spotlight flashed, the beautiful scene at this moment was recorded on the film forever.
Then there was a sumptuous wedding banquet. The waiters brought in many tables and chairs. As for the dishes, the chefs of the Consultative Council had already gone home for the New Year, so the meals were all ordered from nearby large restaurants.
Zhou Changfeng's original intention was to drink as little as possible so as not to miss the business later.
But... but everyone's enthusiasm was too high, and they finally managed to resist this person, and another person came over with a toast.
Fortunately, when he was half-drunk, his consciousness was not hazy, so he could have normal conversations and actions.
When the moon rises above the willow branches, the wedding banquet is finally over.
When Zhou Changfeng and Xia Xiaoshi returned to the red wedding room, they both felt that their bodies were about to fall apart after struggling all day.
Especially after taking a bath, my whole body felt relaxed, I couldn't gain any energy at all, and my thoughts on doing business were completely dissipated due to physical and mental exhaustion.
In the corner of the room, a heater installed in a wooden cabinet emitted wisps of heat, making the entire wedding room warm.
Xia Xiaoshi, with rosy cheeks, sat on the edge of the bed, while Zhou Changfeng lay on the soft big bed, complaining: "I tossed and turned until midnight last night before falling asleep. I got up before dawn this morning. I have been busy all day. I am tired. died!"
"Then...sir, let's... rest first."
"Okay, let's sleep for a while first."
As a result, this so-called "a while" suddenly came to the next day.
Zhou Changfeng spent a dreamless night. He obviously felt that it had not been long, but as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them, he found that the sky was already dim.
Then he was surprised to find that Xia Xiaoshi beside him had also woken up and was staring at the ceiling in a daze with her big eyes open.
"When did you wake up?"
"Well...just for a short while, a quarter of an hour."
Zhou Changfeng, who was smiling, squeezed the delicate little hand under the quilt, and then walked away wantonly.
Xia Xiaoshi curled up subconsciously, but soon realized that it was reasonable to give up her defense now, so she tried her best to stop her subconscious resistance.
After a while, Zhou Changfeng, who was full of interest, came to her ear and said, "Let's go and wash up, and then..."
Although there are no good nights, there are spring mornings.

When it was three o'clock in the morning, the two of them packed up and went to have breakfast.
Yesterday's tiredness disappeared without a trace after a good sleep, and the vigorous fighting in the early morning made people feel refreshed.
Zhou Roujia and Li Shuye didn't plan to stay long. The latter had to go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so they had to catch today's train to Jizhou, Beizhili.
Regarding the two choices given by Zhou Changfeng before, after several days of discussion, they finally made up their minds - they must seize the opportunity when it comes, and they will only regret it if they miss it.
In fact, Zhou Changfeng felt that they didn't need to worry so much, as if they were going to a dangerous place.
After all, he is also a large shareholder of a medium-sized company. How difficult is it to live a stable life? We need to change the stereotype of Shanghai.
After lunch, Zhou Changfeng drove them to Jiangbei Railway Station.
"Okay, go back quickly." Zhou Roujia waved her hand and told him: "We just got married, so spend more time with me."
The latter looked like "you can rest assured" and said, "After the Chinese New Year, I can spend at least half a month with you."
To be honest, thanks to being young, strong and energetic now, otherwise it would be really unbearable to fight day and night for half a month.
At about the same time, thousands of miles away in Thuringia, at the foothills of the Thuringian Forest Mountains southwest of Gotha...
A Thuringian wolfhound with black back fur stepped nimbly across the snow, sniffed next to a bush, then raised its head and looked around warily.
"Belize, what do you smell?"
Chrissy, wearing a thick gray woolen long coat, trudged through the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The snow covered most of her leather boots.
Carrying a double-barreled shotgun and an old Kar98b carbine slung on her back, she came to the bush and looked around.
Although she is an atheist, Chris has always felt as if she has been cursed recently and has been particularly unlucky.
That time in Spain, she thought she had justifiable reasons and shot the Republican major on the spot. However, it later aroused strong protests from the Spaniards. She was also recalled by the General Investigation Bureau and given an administrative penalty as a sign of criticism.
Despite internal discussions within the Stasi that her actions were excessive, she has refused to admit her mistakes and stuck to her guns.
After that, Chris was injured again while participating in an operation to hunt down British agents, and she was the only one injured, which was quite unlucky.
A .32ACP pistol bullet hit her abdomen. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured. The experienced doctor only removed 1.5cm of her small intestine, leaving a scar the size of a small finger.
The General Investigation Bureau generously gave her a three-month vacation, which is why she can now leisurely hunt in the foothills.
"Woo-woof!"
Suddenly, Belize roared, and Chris raised the 6×30 Zeiss telescope hanging on her chest in alertness. Then she was surprised to find a huge figure moving slowly in the woods a hundred meters away.
Is that... a grizzly bear?
It is really rare to see a grizzly bear in action at this time of year.
Bears are known to hibernate, but they may occasionally wake up from hibernation and resume activity and hunting if temperatures warm during this period.
I have only hunted two hares and one deer in total in the past few days. I was complaining about my bad luck when I didn't expect such a big guy to come to my door.
Chrissy, who couldn't hide her joy, quickly took out the loaded buckshot in the double-barreled shotgun and replaced it with two single-point bullets.
Then, she pulled off the strap of the shotgun and hung it in front of her, took out the Kar98b carbine from behind, and inserted a bullet.
Chris slowly sat down on the snow, took off her leather gloves, revealing her hands that were so pale that they were bloodless. She put her left arm on her left knee and aimed the gun at the grizzly bear a hundred meters away. .
To hunt such a large beast, you can use a rifle, so that you can shoot it from a safer distance; if you use a shotgun, you have to get close to dozens of meters away, which is not only more dangerous, but also easier to scare off the snake.
"boom!"
The luck accumulated over the past few months seemed to be condensed into this moment?
The 7.92mm S-type light-point bullet flew out of the muzzle and accurately hit the black bear's right eye and penetrated through the back of the head.
The huge beast was not killed on the spot, but struggled for more than ten meters before falling to the ground.
Chrissy threw away the carbine after shooting, and instead picked up a double-barreled shotgun to stay on guard. Once the grizzly bear was about to fight back, survival would depend on those two single-head bullets.
Belize barked "bark", but she remained unmoved and kept her gun in a alert posture for a few minutes before walking over cautiously.
After confirming today's windfall, she couldn't help but stretch, then breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand: "Let's go Belize, we can't get rid of such a big guy."
Chris's father, a native of Gotha, worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Erfurt, but died while participating in the battle against the British and French intervention forces; her mother, a native of Gothenburg, Sweden, died of malnutrition caused by food shortages.
Therefore, Chris had to live with his grandfather when he was very young. To this day, the memory of her parents has faded in her mind.
Under the soft sunshine, she rode a BMW R12 motorcycle all the way. When she returned to her home in the small town, her grandfather was nowhere to be seen.
She thought for a while and walked to a house diagonally across the street. There was a lot of noise inside. She knocked lightly and pushed the door open.
The fireplace made the whole house warm as spring, and as expected, her grandfather was playing mahjong with a group of elders and aunties at the moment.
Looking at it like this, it must have been another whole morning of fighting.
"You're playing this game again, is it really that fun?"
"certainly."
Chris, who was very helpless, said, "I knocked down a grizzly bear next to the cedar forest at the foot of the mountain. Let's get everyone together to transport it back."
"Grizzly bears this season? It's really rare. By the way, after you left in the morning, someone sent a letter asking you to open it in person. Go and read it."
