Chapter 388: Guests are shocked by the amazing wedding car
Suifeng Hotel.
By the time the woman's group and the guests finished their dinner and midnight snack, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Then, they split into two groups. Deng Yunheng took his old leaders, old colleagues, classmates, alumni and others back to the Deng’s Community in Naye to rest.
Deng Shirong took the bride and the wedding guests to the hotel to rest.
It’s not that the houses in the Ye Deng community are too small to accommodate everyone. It’s mainly because according to the marriage customs in Bobai, it is not appropriate to let the bride and the wedding guests stay at home on the eve of the wedding. If that’s the case, how can we welcome the bride tomorrow?
Therefore, they had to stay in a hotel first.
Fortunately, after several years of development, Bobai County has changed a lot. In addition to the existing hotels and guesthouses, Xiyuan Restaurant (formerly Suifeng Hotel) and Fuhao Hotel opened for business at the end of last year.
In the previous life, Suifeng Hotel was just started at this time, and in this life, influenced by Deng Shirong, the hotel was completed and opened three months ahead of schedule. The total investment was 700,000 yuan. The exterior walls were decorated with glass mosaics, columns inlaid with marble, and brown glass windows. The decoration quality was still very good.
There are hotels on the third to fifth floors of the Xiyuan Restaurant where you can stay.
The Fuhao Hotel is even more awesome. It is located at the east end of Xinglong Street, covers an area of 900 square meters, with a construction area of 4,500 square meters. The main building has six floors, with shops and a savings bank on the ground floor, as well as a hotel service desk.
The second floor has a ballroom that can accommodate more than 110 people and a restaurant that can accommodate 400 people.
The third to sixth floors are guest rooms, with a total of 143 beds.
The guest rooms are equipped with bathrooms, hot and cold water, color TVs, wall lamps, etc.
In addition, there is a conference room on the third and sixth floors that can accommodate 200 people each.
The hotel's ground floor exterior walls are inlaid with marble, and the exterior walls above the second floor are decorated with glass mosaics. The windows are bronze aluminum alloy windows. The total investment in building decoration is as high as 4 million yuan. It is currently one of the most luxurious buildings in the county.
Such a hotel would certainly not be worth mentioning in later generations, but in the county town in the early 1990s, it was truly synonymous with luxury.
Because this is a newly opened hotel, the interior is not only luxuriously decorated but also very clean, so the woman and her group were very satisfied with the living environment.
After settling in, Deng Shirong said apologetically, "My dear relatives, I'll inconvenience you to stay here tonight."
Father Gu smiled and said, "You are too polite, my dear in-laws. The living environment of this hotel is already very good. The hotel I stayed in when I went to Beijing for a meeting was not necessarily better than this one."
Mother Gu also smiled with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you don't have to be polite, my dear. This hotel is luxurious and clean, it is already very good."
"Okay, it's too late today, so I won't say much. Let's go to bed early!"
At this point, Deng Shirong looked at his second daughter-in-law and said, "Weiwei, tomorrow morning at 5:30, Yunheng will come with a stylist to see you, and then do makeup and styling for both of you. This may take quite a while, so you should take care to rest."
Gu Caiwei nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Next, Deng Shirong said hello to the other guests who came to see him off and left the Rich Hotel.
…
On the other side, Deng Yunheng, his old leader and other guests walked from the Suifeng Hotel all the way to the Naye Deng Community.
Because Suifeng Hotel is not far from Naye Dengshi Community, only a few minutes' walk away, so everyone did not take a car but walked back. On the one hand, they could enjoy the night view of Bobai County (well, actually there is no night view to speak of in the county at this time), and on the other hand, they could help digest their food.
The guests present are not simple characters.
Either they are top students from Peking University, or they are heavyweights working in ministries.
Neither side will underestimate the other, including Zhao Jing and Li Haibo, who have impressive backgrounds.
We are all in the government, so who doesn’t know the importance of personal connections?
In the eyes of Zhao Jing and others, they don’t know where this group of top students will eventually reach, but they are clear about one thing: the small group of more outstanding ones among them will definitely be the backbone of the system in the future.
In the eyes of people like Li Haibo who graduated from Peking University, these people in the ministries and commissions also have a bright future. Those who can enter these key departments are either gifted people like them, or people with good backgrounds.
In short, no matter which one it is, it is worth making friends with.
So, since both parties were interested in making friends, they had a very pleasant chat.
A few minutes passed in a flash.
As they were talking, everyone walked to the south gate of the Naye Deng community.
Looking at this rather imposing gatehouse and the prominent words "Naya Deng Community", all the guests were shocked.
Although it was night, everyone could see the gatehouse and some beautiful scenery inside through the green lights.
Zhao Jing asked in surprise, "County Magistrate Deng, the name of this Naye Deng's Community is a bit strange. Is it related to your surname Deng?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Leader, Naye is the name of our village. It is also the birthplace of the Deng family in Bobai County. This community was built by our Naye Deng family a few years ago, so it was named Naye Deng Family Community."
Everyone suddenly understood what was going on.
While talking, everyone did not stop walking. They had already passed through the gatehouse and walked into the community.
The architectural layout of this community was designed by Deng Shirong with reference to those mature communities in later generations. Although the lighting beautification effect of this era was not as good as that of later generations, the use of various colored lights was also quite mature, and coupled with various green backgrounds, it looked quite nice.
In short, even though everyone present had seen the world, they were still a little amazed by this beautiful community.
Even in big cities like Beijing or Shanghai, there is no such mature and beautiful community yet! Of course, what shocked them the most was that this beautiful community was actually built by a clan of the same surname in the countryside, just a few years after the reform and opening up. This really surprised them.
"County Magistrate Deng, your Deng family is truly amazing!"
"That's amazing. County Magistrate Deng, how come your Deng clan is so rich?"
"A few years ago, the whole clan raised money to build such a beautiful residential area. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it."
“…”
Deng Yunheng explained with a smile: "In fact, this house didn't cost too much money, because the house was built by our people. The sand and stones were transported from our hometown. The fire bricks were provided by the people who run the brick factory at cost price, and the wood used was also transported from our hometown.
Therefore, the biggest expenses in building this house are land, steel bars, and cement, and other expenses are just small amounts.
Therefore, a 160-square-meter house in this community actually only costs 5,000 yuan, and there is even some money left over at the end!"
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although 5,000 yuan was a huge sum of money, it was still much less than the amount they had guessed.
Soon, Deng Yunheng led everyone to the first floor of Unit 1, Building 9, and said with a smile, "We're here. My home is right here. Come up with me!"
Upon hearing this, the guests followed Deng Yunheng upstairs.
Walking up to the third floor, Deng Yunheng took out the key, opened the door, and then turned on the light.
Suddenly, the scene in the room was presented to all the guests without reservation.
This floor belongs to Deng Yunheng. The decoration style is that of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The overall look is graceful, soft and elegant. Under the illumination of red and yellow lanterns, the entire living room is truly magnificent, antique and full of artistic conception.
In short, entering this place is like going back to the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Then, everyone saw the "Short Song" written in regular cursive script framed in the living room.
Most of the people present were top students from Peking University, and their cultural background was profound. They were all amazed at the calligraphy work that matched the decoration of the room.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoman from Guilin couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, this house is so beautiful!"
These words were like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, and the whole audience exploded in an instant.
Huang Shengjun from Sichuan Province nodded in agreement: "Yes, it is really beautiful. This is the most beautiful and artistic house I have ever seen in my life. The antique feeling is really great!"
Zhao Changzheng exclaimed: "I didn't expect a house could be decorated like this, it's amazing!"
Tang Mingjie also widened his eyes and said, "Oh my god, which dynasty's decoration style is this? It's so beautiful and exquisite, it's comparable to the imperial palace!"
Wang Limei continued, "If I'm not mistaken, this decoration should be in the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. You can tell from the calligraphy in the living room. It's the finishing touch. It's really beautiful."
Others were full of praise as well. They were really amazed by the decoration style that combines both modern and ancient elements.
Even with Zhao Jing's knowledge, she felt like she had opened her eyes: "County Magistrate Deng, your house is so big, how many square meters is it?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "This is 640 square meters."
Once these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement again.
After all, we had just entered the 1990s, and no one had ever seen a large flat like this one.
After everyone had a rough tour of the house, Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "With so many of us, this floor definitely won't be able to accommodate us. Whoever wants to live here can choose a room, and the rest can follow me upstairs to take a look."
Liu Xiaoman was surprised and asked, "County Magistrate Deng, there is a house like this upstairs?"
Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "To be honest, this unit belongs to me. The first floor belongs to my eldest brother, the second floor belongs to my eldest sister, the third floor belongs to me, the fourth floor belongs to my younger sister, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors belong to my three younger brothers."
It's numb!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was paralyzed!
Just one of the floors was enough to shock them for a long time. They didn't expect that this was just one of them. A house like this had six floors. It was simply incredible.
The first floor is 640 square meters, and the seventh floor is 4,480 square meters.
Deng Yunheng had just said that a 160-square-meter house costs 5,000 yuan. If we calculate based on this number, wouldn't the total cost of the seven-story house be 140,000 yuan? This is just the cost of building the house, not including the cost of decoration.
Even though they don't understand decoration and don't know how much it will cost to decorate the house like this, they know that it is definitely not a small amount of money.
In short, this seven-story house is worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and this is still a low estimate. It is possible that the price is even higher than this.
This was a few years ago. How could County Chief Deng's family spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to build such a house? How could they be so rich?
After a while, Zhao Jing came to her senses and asked, "County Magistrate Deng, are the other floors also decorated in the same way?"
Deng Yunheng said: "The building layout is the same, but the decoration styles are different. My eldest brother's house is decorated in the Qin and Han style, my sister's is in the European and American style, mine is in the Wei and Jin style, my sister's is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, my third brother's is in the Sui and Tang style, my fourth brother's is in the Song and Yuan style, and my youngest brother's is in the Ming and Qing style."
Hearing this, Zhao Jing couldn't wait to say, "Quick, take us up to have a look."
The others' expectations also skyrocketed after hearing this. Who would still want to choose a room now? They couldn't wait to go up and see what the different decoration styles were like.
Deng Yunheng naturally satisfied their curiosity and took them to visit floor by floor. The decorations were completely different but completely consistent in essence, which stunned the guests and directly refreshed their understanding of house decoration.
Even people with extremely wealthy families like Zhao Jing and Li Haibo are already thinking about getting a house like this to live in if they have the chance, which would definitely be very comfortable.
After taking the guests on a quick tour of the house, Deng Yunheng said, "Leaders, colleagues, classmates, alumni, and fellow villagers, it's already very late. I have to get up at five in the morning tomorrow, so I won't accompany you any more. You can choose any floor or room you like. I'll go downstairs to take a shower and go to bed first!"
"Well, go and have a rest. You, the groom, need to stay energetic. We can make our own arrangements."
"Yeah, go and get some rest. You don't have to stay with us. It won't affect us if we go to bed later."
"County Magistrate Deng, you don't have to accompany us, go and rest!"
“…”
Everyone spoke up, and Deng Yunheng no longer stayed with them, but went back to his room to take a shower and sleep.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The other guests observed some of the decoration details that interested them before choosing their own rooms, taking a shower and resting.
…
The next day.
Deng Shirong got up before dawn.
Although he has arranged the entire wedding process, as the father of the groom and the controller of the wedding, he still has a lot of things to do. No matter big or small, many things require his decision.
When we arrived at the Suifeng Hotel, the wedding procession was already parked there.
"Nine Lords."
"The clan leader."
Seeing Deng Shirong coming, the drivers all greeted him.
"Is the wedding car ready?"
"It's all done. Jiugong, come over and see the results."
Upon hearing this, Deng Shirong walked over to take a look. A total of 10 Santanas and 10 buses were used as wedding cars for his second son's wedding today.
Talking about the changes of wedding cars, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, brides were picked up in sedan chairs.
In the 1940s, donkey carts were commonly used to pick up brides.
By the 1960s, it was popular to pick up the bride by bicycle.
In the seventies, tractors and trucks were popular for welcoming brides.
In the 1980s, buses and vans were popular for picking up brides.
Now in the 1990s, it is very common to use Lada as wedding cars in big cities, and the most high-end car of this era is naturally Santana.
However, this is only popular in big cities. County towns like Bobai do not have such good conditions.
Without a market, naturally few people would know how to decorate wedding cars.
Fortunately, Deng Shirong had seen many wedding car decorations in later generations, and even asked a painter to draw the decorative effects of the wedding car according to his ideas, and then found a florist to cooperate with him and let the florist decorate the wedding car according to the picture effects.
It can be said that this wedding car decoration has set a precedent in Bobai County.
Deng Shirong walked closer to take a look and found that the decoration effect was exactly what he asked for. He nodded with satisfaction, especially the first car for the bride and groom. The decoration effect may be just ordinary in later generations, but in this era it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
As for the other wedding cars, although they are not as exquisitely decorated as the first car, they are also decorated and give a festive feeling at first glance.
"Okay, have breakfast first, and then drive the wedding car to the Regal Hotel around seven o'clock."
"Okay, Jiugong."
After the wedding car was ready, Deng Shirong went to the Regal Hotel to check on the progress of his second son and daughter-in-law's makeup.
…
In the county government staff quarters, the Song father and daughter and other county government leaders all got up early, prepared to have breakfast, and then went to attend Deng Yunheng's wedding.
There were also guests living in Naye Deng’s Community who got up early.
Although I slept late last night because I was admiring the decoration of this house, those present were all leaders and had strong self-control. It was naturally impossible for them to sleep in and wait for others to call them. Instead, they got up early on their own initiative.
When the second brother, the groom, was unable to spare the time, Deng Yunsong, a student at Tsinghua University, was specifically responsible for receiving the guests.
Wait until the guests are up before taking them out for breakfast.
Deng Yunzhu likes photography, so she got up early and followed the invited photography team to capture today's wedding ceremony.
At the same time, the branch clan members of Naye Deng clan, those prominent figures, all got up early and set off for Naye Village to attend the wedding.
Those who received the invitations were all grinning from ear to ear. After all, this was a recognition from the head of the Yeteng clan. It was a matter of great pride. They were qualified to attend this wedding, which was enough for them to brag about in the clan for a long time.
…
6:30 in the morning.
The conference room on the third floor of the Regal Hotel.
Deng Yunheng and Gu Caiwei both had their makeup and styling done here.
At this point, the styling of both of them has been completed. I won’t describe the details, but it can be summarized in four words - a talented man and a beautiful woman.
At this time, Gu's father, Gu's mother and other guests who came to see the bride also got up.
Everyone gathered in the conference room, looking at Gu Caiwei's new look, and they all praised her highly.
As the saying goes, "30% is determined by fate, and 70% is determined by dressing up." This is truly a wise saying. Gu Caiwei is already a beauty without makeup, and after being carefully dressed up by a senior stylist, her appearance has reached a new level.
It is no exaggeration to say that she is not inferior to those beautiful stars.
Even her family and relatives saw such a beautiful Gu Caiwei for the first time.
As for Deng Yunheng, he was also confused. Such a beautiful, elegant and well-off girl was going to become his wife. As a man, he was naturally very happy.
When Deng Shirong came up and asked everyone to go downstairs for breakfast, he also saw his second daughter-in-law who was dressed up. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. It was worth it for him to invite a professional stylist from Guangzhou. The effect was really good.
In fact, this stylist is an old acquaintance. When Deng Yunzhen got married last time, Deng Shirong asked him to do her styling.
Of course, Deng Yunzhen's looks cannot be compared with Gu Caiwei, so although her look at that time was also beautiful, it was not as stunning as Gu Caiwei.
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "My dear relatives, it's getting late. Let's go to the second floor and have some breakfast. I have just instructed that the wedding car come around seven o'clock."
Father Gu nodded and said, "Well, let's go downstairs and have breakfast together."
So, the group moved to the restaurant on the second floor to have breakfast.
…
Seven o'clock in the morning.
People come and go in the county town, some are sending their children to school, some are busy going to work, some are out to exercise, some are out to buy groceries, and some are out to eat breakfast. On such an ordinary morning, all these people have witnessed history.
A total of 20 wedding cars drove from the Suifeng Hotel to the Fuhao Hotel. The first 10 were Santana high-end sedans of that era, and the last 10 were buses.
The wedding car in the lead was decorated very beautifully and festively, and the other wedding cars were also covered with "囍" characters. Even if it was the first time seeing such wedding cars, everyone would immediately react that this was someone else's wedding.
"Oh my god, whose wedding is this? This scene is so grand!"
"Although I have seen people use buses to pick up brides before, it was just one bus. Now there are not only 10 buses, but also 10 cars. This is really a big deal. Which family is so generous?"
"Comparison is really frustrating. When I got married a few years ago, my husband sent two bicycles to pick me up. Compared with this kind of scene, the gap is really huge."
"I didn't expect a wedding could be done like this. The car is decorated so beautifully. It looks so festive at first glance."
"Being able to get married in a wedding car like this is definitely something I can brag about for the rest of my life."
"Yes, it's really a great honor to be able to get married in such a luxurious wedding car."
"Hurry up and go and see which family is marrying off their daughter and which family is marrying their daughter-in-law."
"Let's go together. I want to see which family is so generous."
“…”
Seeing such a luxurious wedding procession, everyone was shocked and envious.
Those who had nothing to do followed the wedding procession, wanting to see which family was marrying off their daughter in such a grand manner.
…
PS: Dear relatives, good food is worth waiting for. The author must write this climax well to make everyone enjoy it.
County Magistrate Deng clasped his fists and said: "Thank you to all the relatives who gave gifts (rewards and monthly tickets). The wedding car has been dispatched. Please get on the car quickly. We will go back to our hometown for a feast^_^"
