Chapter 241 Marriage Certificate
January 25th, which is New Year's Eve, is an auspicious day for getting married, meeting with relatives and friends, traveling, and getting engaged.
The Golden VIP Lounge of Peking Hotel is brightly lit, and a festive atmosphere lingers among the carved beams and painted buildings.
Liu Shishi and Song Ci, a perfect couple, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked radiant. They stood in front of the hall door, smiling like flowers, welcoming the relatives and guests who came to congratulate them.
Liu Shishi had her hair tied up in a bun and had a graceful figure. She wore a Chinese-style Xiuhe dress that looked as if it was made from the flowing clouds in the sky. The dress was embroidered with intricate and exquisite patterns, and the phoenix pattern outlined in gold thread was lifelike.
The color combination is extremely harmonious, which makes her skin look like cream, and her beauty is beyond words, showing her gentle and virtuous temperament to the fullest.
There was a faint smile on her face and her eyes were as bright as stars, sparkling with happiness.
Song Ci was wearing a spotless white suit, looking handsome, tall and elegant.
The two stood side by side, like a golden boy and a jade girl, perfectly matched, attracting waves of admiration from relatives and friends.
"Brother, sister, you are so handsome and beautiful, I love you two so much!"
My little cousin Liu Yuqing is tall and graceful. She was dressed quite festively to attend the engagement party today. She was holding Liu Shishi's hand with great excitement.
"Gone are your previous cleverness. You have to change to calling me sister-in-law." My aunt smiled, her eyes full of kindness. She was wearing a royal blue cheongsam, looking elegant and generous.
"Yuan-Nan, Shi-Shi, congratulations to you."
Uncle Liu Xiaochen also sent his blessing and patted his nephew on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction on his face. Song Ci still remembered vividly his childhood, as if it happened yesterday.
Song Ci was beaming with joy, and the smile on his face never stopped: "Thank you, uncle and aunt! Grandpa and grandma are here!"
As relatives and friends arrived one after another, the auspicious time had arrived. The master of ceremonies, dressed in formal attire, solemnly announced the official start of the engagement ceremony.
Amid the melodious music, Liu Shishi took Song Ci's arm and slowly walked into the banquet hall to accept the blessings from all their loved ones and friends.
During the token exchange session, the atmosphere became more warm and romantic. Song Ci looked at Miss Liu affectionately and handed her an ancient Tianhuang jade seal engraved with "A gentleman is not an instrument"
This seal is a heirloom of the Song family, carrying the family's glory and expectations. He used it as an engagement token, expressing his feelings through the object, and it is a promise to Miss Liu's life.
Liu Shishi's eyes were slightly red, and she tenderly gave him an exquisite jade pendant in return. The jade pendant was warm and delicate, with pictures and texts that implied perfection and success, smooth lines and exquisite craftsmanship.
The voice was gentle: "Song Ci, this jade pendant is given to you. May our love be as solid as a rock and harmonious and beautiful."
The witness' speech was given by Song Zhang's mentor, the highly respected Academician Wu, who is known as the "Father of Hepatobiliary Surgery".
The old man is over 70 years old, but he is in good spirits and his eyes are bright. His words are full of blessings and wishes for the young couple. His words are sincere and touching.
Under the witness of Academician Wu, Song Ci and Liu Shishi solemnly pressed their fingerprints on the marriage certificate. From then on, they agreed to grow old together and their destinies were closely linked.
Then, Song Ci and Liu Shishi offered tea to both parents. Holding tea cups in their hands, the couple respectfully expressed their gratitude and respect to both parents, and the scene was warm and touching.
"Auntie, please have some tea."
"Good son-in-law!" Mother Liu quickly took the teacup offered by Song Ci, smiling from ear to ear, and looked at Song Ci with indescribable satisfaction.
He looked at Miss Liu again, feeling emotional, thinking that his precious daughter would belong to the Song family from now on.
At the main table, my aunt heard that Mother Liu had already begun to call Song Ci her son-in-law, and she couldn't help but chuckle: "Xiaochen, the engagement tea is not a change of name tea, you see that the mother-in-law can't wait."
The grandmother smiled when she heard this: "My grandson is so outstanding, which mother-in-law wouldn't like such a son-in-law?"
At the end of the engagement ceremony, Song Ci and Liu Shishi took a photo with their parents to record this unforgettable and beautiful moment.
Looking at his cousin's family smiling brightly and overflowing with happiness in front of the camera, Liu Yuqing said innocently: "Dad, Mom, look, except for my sister's dad who is a little bit ugly, my aunt, uncle, sister and mom are all very good-looking. This whole family is really beautiful."
"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about!" Seeing her daughter talking without thinking and saying that her father-in-law was ugly, the aunt hurriedly patted the girl's arm and signaled her to shut up. In an occasion like today, it would be very rude if such words were to get out.
Liu Yuqing stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "I'm just telling the truth, and we're all family here."
After the photo shoot, the music started again and the sumptuous engagement banquet officially began.
Relatives and friends raised their glasses to celebrate, and the engagement party ended successfully amid laughter and joy, adding a brilliant stroke to the love story of Liu Shishi and Song Ci.
On the night of New Year's Eve, at Liu Shishi's home, a family of three sat on the sofa, with several plates of fresh fruits and exquisite snacks on the coffee table in front of them, watching the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Ox.
Uncle Benshan's skit "We're Not Short of Money" was playing on TV. The humorous performance and witty lines made Liu's father and mother laugh out loud.
Although Miss Liu's eyes were also on the TV screen, her mind was obviously not on the skit. From time to time, she took out the auspicious and festive marriage certificate in her hand and glanced at it. The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose and she smiled foolishly.
Mother Liu had noticed her daughter's absent-minded state and shook her head helplessly. After the engagement ceremony ended at noon, her daughter was immersed in joy and laughed non-stop.
After the reunion dinner, while watching the Spring Festival Gala, she held the marriage certificate tightly in her hand and treasured it like a treasure.
"Okay, Shishi, put away the marriage certificate. If you don't want to watch the Spring Festival Gala, go back to your room and get some rest early."
Miss Liu held her head high, with a proud look on her face: "I have tricked my childhood sweetheart into getting married, so I can't be happy."
Mother Liu rolled her eyes at her daughter and said, "Look at what you are capable of. When you become the daughter-in-law of the Song family, don't be willful. Your mother-in-law is not someone you can get along with easily."
Now that they were engaged, Liu Shishi toughened up and said with a smile, "It's okay. Yiyi and I don't usually live with my parents-in-law. If we see them occasionally, I will definitely give in to her."
Father Liu had been sitting quietly by his side, watching his daughter's every move, with a look of reluctance on his face. The apple of his eye, whom he had taken care of for many years, was now about to marry.
Although he felt that Miss Liu was only 22 years old and wanted to keep her for a few more years, he and his wife knew what his daughter was thinking and it was not easy to stop her from pursuing her own happiness.
Although Father Liu doted on his daughter, he still gave her a serious reminder: "Shishi, take good care of your husband and be filial to your parents-in-law in the future. Come back more often when you have nothing to do."
Liu Shishi was speechless, curled her lips and said helplessly: "Dad, can you stop being so sad! I just got engaged, and I will be married to a building in front. I don't have to leave the community and can come back anytime. Why are you like this!"
After chatting with her parents about family matters and the skit "We're Not Short of Money", Liu Shishi felt that the Spring Festival Gala was boring. She couldn't help yawning, stretching, and preparing to go back to the bedroom to surf the Internet for a while and then rest.
After entering the house, Miss Liu first opened the cabinet door, her eyes full of cherishment, and carefully placed the marriage certificate that carried the promise of a lifetime of love inside.
Then he sat at the desk, turned on the computer, supported his chin with one hand, and waited for it to boot up.
The computer started up quickly, I opened the browser and clicked on the Weibo homepage, and looked at the trending searches. Without exception, the first ten were all news related to the Spring Festival Gala.
"1 "We Are Not Short of Money""
"2 Xiao Shenyang"
"3" Compendium of Materia Medica"
"4 Jay Chou, Song Zuying chorus"
. . . . . .
After randomly clicking on a few trending searches, Liu Shishi returned to her Weibo homepage, intending to send New Year greetings and interact with fans on a daily basis.
She now has more than three million followers on Weibo, although her popularity is still slightly lower than that of big stars such as Fan Bingbing and Zhao Zhatian who have been famous for a long time.
But among the new generation of female stars, she is already firmly in the first echelon, second only to Liu Yifei, and on par with Yang Mi and Wang Luodan.
She was replying to fans' messages in a casual manner, when suddenly a fan's comment caught her attention.
"@Liu Shishiv, your idol Song Ci is getting engaged today, are you sad?"
Miss Liu was suddenly curious. How could her fans know about her engagement with Mr. Song? The people invited to the engagement dinner at noon were all close relatives of the family. Outsiders should not know about it.
Just when I was about to reply to find out what was going on, I found that other netizens were also discussing Song Ci's engagement. Suddenly, an epiphany came to my mind: Could it be that Mr. Song has announced the good news of his engagement?
Quickly returning to the hot search page, as expected, the entry "3 Song Ci Engagement" came into view. In just a very short period of time, it rushed to the third place on the hot search list, and the popularity continued to rise, with a tendency to overshadow the topics related to the Spring Festival Gala.
Liu Shishi's fingers trembled slightly as she excitedly clicked on the topic page, and sure enough, she was redirected to Song Ci's Weibo homepage.
Song Ci v: Make private romance public. From then on, the nagging thoughts on your lips finally become the things around you year after year.
For fear that netizens might not understand the connotation, he thoughtfully attached a picture.
Miss Liu looked closely and saw that the content on the picture was exactly the marriage certificate that she and Mr. Song had signed to stay together forever.
Although she had read the marriage certificate countless times in the living room just now, every word and every stroke were deeply engraved in her heart.
But at this moment, looking at the picture of the marriage certificate on the screen again, the beautiful memories of the past emerged, my heart was filled with mixed feelings, and my heart was filled with a huge sense of happiness.
She couldn't help but read out the words on the marriage certificate, her voice soft and soothing, as if she was telling of the beautiful love they had experienced along the way.
Marriage Certificate
I have heard that where there is love, mountains and seas cannot separate; where there is fate, time cannot change.
Today we have the Gentleman Song Ci, who is gentle and elegant, with lofty aspirations;
The beautiful lady Liu Shishi is as gentle as jade and has outstanding talents.
The two met at a young age and became childhood sweethearts.
As the seasons change, we are together, our friendship grows stronger and our love grows more intense.
I recall the 25th of January, 2009, which was New Year’s Eve. The lights were on and the house was filled with auspiciousness.
The heads of the two families were moved by their sincere love and promised them a marriage, thus forming a harmonious union.
From now on, my heart belongs to someone, my feelings depend on someone, day and night;
They are all beautiful expectations, and as time goes by, my heart remains unchanged.
I hereby take this marriage certificate as witness, the sun and the moon as witnesses, and the gods of heaven and earth as bless.
May the love between us be as evergreen as pine and cypress, and as endless as rivers.
The day of our engagement, January 25, 2009, which was also New Year’s Eve, will be engraved in my heart and will never be forgotten.
Writers: Song Ci, Liu Shishi
After reading the marriage certificate, Liu Shishi was immersed in sweet memories, her thoughts flying, galloping in the good times she spent with Song Ci in the past.
From our first meeting in our naive childhood, to our harmonious friendship when we danced and you read in our teenage years, to the shyness and excitement when our fingertips occasionally touched in our youth, and finally to the true confession in Yanyuan under the starry sky.
He was in a daze like that, with a dazed look in his eyes, for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Miss Liu shook her head slightly, adjusted her sitting posture, and browsed the comments of netizens.
"This is too fast. Proposing on New Year's Day and getting engaged on New Year's Eve. Song Ci, do you really need to be in such a hurry to get married? You are the richest man, and you have a handsome face. You can find any woman. You have to act smart."
Seeing this, Miss Liu snorted lightly, with a look of both anger and complacency on her face, and said to herself: "Bad review! I have been waiting for this for four years, and you netizens know nothing and are just talking nonsense here."
After that, gently scroll the mouse to view the next comment.
"No, Boss Song, if you want to send out the marriage certificate, just send out the marriage certificate. Why cover up the woman's name? You are being too distant with the majority of netizens."
Liu Shishi couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Song really understands me and left the opportunity for the official announcement to me."
When she saw the next message, Miss Liu blushed instantly. It turned out that a netizen boldly guessed that she was pregnant.
"I feel like this is a little odd. The proposal and engagement were so hastily arranged. I think the girl might be pregnant and they need to get married before her belly becomes obvious."
"Now that you mention it, the woman is quite cunning. She used her pregnancy to gain power. She is very scheming."
"The above is pure nonsense. Didn't you see that it's stated in the marriage certificate that the two were childhood sweethearts? And hasn't it been rumored online that Song Ci's girlfriend is his childhood sweetheart? The two have been together for a long time."
"Damn it, blocking the name makes me feel itchy. There are so many capable people on the Internet, but no one can dig out the woman's true identity."
"Even if they know, they won't tell anyone. Song Ci didn't make it public, obviously to protect the woman's identity. If you expose it, you will offend the richest man. Think about it yourself."
"How romantic! When I get married, my future husband and I will write a beautiful wedding certificate like Song Ci did."
Seeing this hopeful comment, Miss Liu smiled sweetly, as if her happiness was also infecting others.
Time passed quietly, and there were more than a dozen new comments almost every minute. Liu Shishi squinted her eyes and read them carefully for half an hour.
Among the many comments, except for some of Mr. Song’s usually annoying wife fans who made sour remarks, most netizens still sent their blessings to Song Ci on his engagement.
After all, Song Ci has always paid great attention to reputation and public image. Whether it is his outstanding achievements in the business field or his image as a modest gentleman in daily activities, he has left an excellent impression on everyone.
Especially last year's disaster, the generous donations have doubled the people's favor towards this young richest man. Liu Shishi looked at the screen full of blessings, feeling touched and happy.
