October 1, 1969, Hong Kong City, Victoria Peak.
On one side of the mountaintop park, several adjacent villas are all decorated with lights and look festive.
The road from the mountainside to the top of the mountain has also been decorated.
The trees on both sides were all wrapped with red ribbons.
There is a string of big red lanterns hanging every few steps.
Several villas on the mountainside were also freshly painted, with bright red everywhere.
He Jingxian, wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe, stood in the bedroom and complained.
"Mom, this hat weighs five or six kilograms.
Why do I carry this thing with me? Isn't it tiring?
It was originally just a matter of walking a few steps and entering from one door to another.
You have to go to the mountainside to get married. Aren't you tired of all the hassle?"
He's mother hit her angrily and said:
"You blame me? It's because Dongzi is afraid of injustice to you, so he insists on holding the wedding according to the Ming Dynasty's rules.
I don't know where they found this phoenix crown.
There are hundreds of pearls on it, and hundreds of pieces of colored glass. How could it not sink? "
He Jingxian smiled and said, “Oh my god, those are not stained glass.
They are gems, real rubies and sapphires, heavier than glass."
"What? That's a gem? How much is this hat worth?
I'll lend it to you with confidence, but what if it breaks?"
"It's broken, so what? It's ours, there's no need to compensate for it."
"Our own? When did you buy it? It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"Mom, this is something the Queen once wore, but there's nowhere to buy it.
I don't know how much it's worth, but I do know that today's craftsmen can't make it, and the craft has been lost."
"Then where did you find it from? Will there be any trouble?"
"Don't worry, Mom. This is a gift from an American to Brother Dong. Don't worry about it.
There are firecrackers going off outside, it must be the bride's party coming, you should go and get busy."
He Jingxian was afraid that her mother would keep asking questions, so she found an excuse to push her out.
When He's mother went out and saw Zhang Xudong, who was wearing the top scholar's uniform, with a big red flower on his chest and riding a big red horse, she was so happy that she forgot everything.
Zhang Xudong sang the opening poem, stuffed a lot of red envelopes, and went through several levels before finally picking up the bride.
After He Chaoyang carried his sister onto the eight-man sedan chair, the people who had just blocked the door turned around and became the people who came to welcome the bride.
Firecrackers blasted, fireworks filled the sky, accompanied by the sound of dragons and phoenixes playing on suona.
Zhang Xudong, dressed in the uniform of the top scholar, led the way in front of the sedan chair.
He Chaoyang, wearing the uniform of the top martial arts champion, was guarding the sedan chair from behind.
The wedding procession slowly walked towards the top of the mountain.
Following behind the sedan chair was the dowry.
This time, Zhang Xudong mobilized a large number of security personnel and Huaqing employees.
Because he wants to have a real ten-mile red wedding.
There is not a single piece of fake stuff in the ninety-nine loads of red makeup, and the lifting poles creaked all the way under pressure.
Grandma and Mr. Lin looked at the team winding up the mountain and said happily:
"Acheng, I've finally waited for this day. I've finally done justice to the Zhang family."
"Sister, today is a happy day, so don't think about those unhappy things.
Dongzi and Jingyatou are both filial children and capable.
You have endured hardship and now have sweetness, so just wait to enjoy happiness!"
“Humph, I don’t know how capable he is, but the effort he puts in is quite great.
If this had happened last year, it might have caused some trouble.”
"Alas, I heard that those people in the mainland are much more powerful than those in Hong Kong.
Fortunately, Dongzi sent you here early.
Otherwise, you will suffer a lot.”
"Even now, those people in Hong Kong City are still unwilling to give up.
We are in Repulse Bay. If we were in Tsim Sha Tsui, I’m afraid those people would also cause trouble after seeing this situation.”
The old man snorted coldly and said:
“They dare to do that, but since we are all Chinese, I can ignore them.
But if they mess with us, Dongzi will not let them off.
The workers started off well and received a lot of support.
But after those people joined in, they even resorted to acts of smashing, looting, arson, and assassination.
What’s the difference between this and the underworld?
The originally well-planned things were ruined by their disturbance.
The road to return is still long, we don’t know if we can wait until then.”
"I, your elder sister, am almost seventy years old. Can I still live to be a hundred?
I can’t think that far ahead, I’ll just take it one day at a time.
In a few years, my younger sister will be married, and then I won’t have anything to worry about.”
"Looking at the situation Yan is in, I don't know what will happen in ten years.
I heard from the girl that she wants to marry someone like her brother.
Haha, sister, this is a bit difficult!"
"What's so difficult about it? Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. It's not okay to be an old maid without getting married.
When she reaches the age, as long as her brother tells her to, she will marry him even if she doesn’t want to.”
"His brother, his brother is extremely protective of his own shortcomings, I'm afraid he will be even more picky.
Being your granddaughter's son-in-law is not an easy job. If you don't handle it right, you'll get beaten."
Grandma sighed and said, "Acheng, you are right.
If anyone dares to treat the girl badly, the people who will beat him up will line up from here to Kowloon City.
The girl herself is not someone to be trifled with. Her temperament is completely different from when she was a child.
Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, let them do whatever they want.
As long as I can raise my great-grandson, I will be satisfied."
"Sister, the bridal sedan will be here soon. I'll go see if the firecrackers and salutes are ready.
Oh, and there are helicopters, we have to start them too.
It's okay to waste some fuel, but we can't delay Dongzi's arrangements."
"Walk slower, you're already over sixty and you're still acting like a child.
There are so many people in Nandu and Beiping waiting for you, what are you afraid of?
No, I have to go check if the dumplings are ready."
As the sedan chair approached, the top of the mountain immediately became busy.
The opera troupe also stopped, making room for the dragon and lion dancers to perform.
A row of stoves were emitting red flames, preparing for the feast.
Two rows of beauties in palace costumes also stood in front of the villa, ready to welcome the bride.
The famous host from Hong Kong City TV who was invited to be the host was feeling a little nervous at this moment.
Having seen many big scenes, he didn't take the role of a wedding host seriously.
But when he arrived at the mountaintop villa, he became more serious in his heart.
After seeing the current scene, he, a veteran, felt a little nervous.
Not to mention anything else, just the hundreds of men in black carrying the dowry made him realize that this boss was probably very powerful.
As firecrackers were set off and salutes were fired, the groom walked slowly onto the red carpet holding the bride's hand.
A helicopter also flew overhead at this time.
Colorful petals fell from the sky, turning the entire scene into a fairy tale world.
A grand wedding officially began.
