Chapter 390 This wedding is so magnificent

In front of the Deng Clan Ancestral Hall in Naye.

“Dear guests, relatives, friends, colleagues and classmates, ladies and gentlemen, hello!”

Deng Shirong, the groom's father, was the first to speak on stage: "Today is the wedding day of my son Deng Yunheng and daughter-in-law Gu Caiwei. I sincerely thank you for coming from afar to witness their marriage.

The wedding is warm and grand because of your presence, and the newlyweds are happy and sweet because of your blessings.

On behalf of our whole family, I would like to express once again our warmest welcome and most sincere gratitude to all the leaders, relatives, friends, colleagues and classmates for coming! "

There are quite a few leaders here. They all give speeches frequently, so they naturally know when to listen and when to applaud.

Now that this was said, all the leaders began to applaud, and the other guests followed suit, and thunderous applause instantly broke out at the scene.

Deng Shirong waited for the applause to subside before continuing, "First of all, on behalf of both parents, I would like to send my best wishes to the newlyweds: I wish Deng Yunheng and Gu Caiwei happiness, a lifetime of love and companionship, and a long life together! Your holding hands today means future responsibilities, obligations, trust and loyalty. As a father, I first hope that you and your spouse can be tolerant, forgiving and calm.

Be tolerant of each other's minor flaws, tolerate each other's minor tempers, and deal with minor setbacks calmly.

Always follow the principle that making the other person happy is your greatest happiness.

Another thing is that we can be of one mind, one strength and one direction in facing the future life.

We are of one mind in everything we do, work with one strength, and have the same goal.

Always remember that the warmest and safest harbor is your home.

We also hope that you will be loyal, enthusiastic and pious in your career.

With a firm, loyal and persistent sense of professionalism, a continuous and enthusiastic enterprising spirit, and a sincere and ardent heart of gratitude, we will encourage and support each other, work together and achieve continuous success in our careers!

Finally, I hope that you can be kind, generous and honest when dealing with others and your relatives and friends.

Be kind, generous, loyal, respect your elders, and protect and cherish the perfect home you have built together.

Once again, I would like to thank all the guests and all the brothers and nephews in the family. I wish you good health, smooth work, happy family, and happiness. Thank you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous sound was heard again at the scene.

In later weddings, there will be a wedding host, various wedding segments, and even a grand wedding banquet with various performances interspersed throughout. It is no longer a new thing for the bride and groom to perform their talents on stage, and it is made like a cultural evening party.

However, Deng Shirong simplified many procedures in today's wedding. He only planned to let the parents of both parties and the bride and groom go on stage to give a speech. There was no need to have so many complicated procedures like in later generations.

So, after Deng Shirong came down, Gu's father, the girl's father, came on stage and gave another speech.

All the guests who were officials already knew the identity of Gu's father. When they saw the leader taking the stage to speak, they all sat upright and looked very focused.

There is no doubt about the speaking level of this provincial leader. In just a few minutes of speech, he drew applause from the audience several times, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

After Mr. Gu finished speaking, it was the turn of the bride and groom to go on stage.

Deng Yunheng held Gu Caiwei's hand and also delivered a high-quality speech.

After all, he was a top student from Peking University and was the county magistrate. He was naturally adept at reciting various speeches, and his speeches were applauded by the whole audience.

Gu Caiwei was no bad either. She was also a very talented college student of this era. With her temperament nurtured by her good family background, her well-decorated speech also drew rounds of applause.

After giving his speech, Deng Shirong ordered people to start serving the dishes.

The dish was naturally extremely rich, with everything from flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. Not only did it fill up the huge table, but the dishes continued to be piled up until there was no more room.

In order to cater to the tastes of guests from all over the world, Deng Shirong invited more than ten chefs who are good at various cuisines. No matter where the guests come from, there are always a few dishes that they like.

At the table of the wedding guests, Gu Caixiao swallowed the food in her mouth and said with emotion: "Weiwei's wedding was really magnificent!"

Mother Gu said with a smile on her face: "My in-laws are really particular. They created such a big scene without making any noise. But this is only possible in the countryside. If it were in the city, we would still have to consider the impact."

These words could be considered as comforting to the eldest son-in-law. After all, when the eldest daughter got married, the wedding was far less grand than that of the younger daughter, and she was afraid that the eldest son-in-law would feel embarrassed.

Chen Donglai continued, "This Naye Deng family is really amazing. I have already inquired about it before. The area we saw along the way that has just started to build basic buildings is a group of villas built by the Naye Deng family. When the villas are built and the cement road is greened, I wonder how beautiful it will be!"

Gu Caixiao was surprised and said, "Are they building a villa complex in that area? Oh my god, this Naye Deng family is really amazing!"

Lu Wei was also shocked when he heard this. He had seen what this villa looked like. In this era, it was already amazing for a family to build a villa. Now the whole family was building a villa together. This was simply incredible.

While they were talking, Gu Caiwei and Deng Yunheng came over.

Mother Gu greeted directly: "Weiwei, Yunheng, come over and eat something first."

Gu Caiwei sat down and said, "We have to eat something quickly, as we will have to toast the guests soon."

Deng Yunheng took a bowl and served his wife some rice. He smiled and said, "Eat slowly. There's no rush. It's okay to toast later."

Gu Caiwei took the bowl and chopsticks and said, "We can't keep the guests waiting for too long."

Father Gu nodded and said, "We really can't keep people waiting for too long. Let's just eat something to fill our stomachs first. We can come back to eat after we finish toasting."

Deng Yunheng winked at his wife, then served himself some rice, sat down and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Soon, Deng Shirong came over with a bowl and asked, "My dear, do you like today's meal?"

While making room for his in-laws, Father Gu said, "The food is good, with a variety of cuisines. I'm sorry for the trouble."

Mother Gu said, "My dear, you have really put a lot of effort into arranging Yunheng and Weiwei's wedding today. Thank you for your attention to our Weiwei."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "You are too polite. We are all family, so let's not talk nonsense. As parents, our greatest wish is for them to live happily."

The parents of both sides ate and chatted, and after quickly finishing half a bowl of rice, Deng Shirong took his son and daughter-in-law to toast the guests.

The first table we honored was the table of Deng Yunheng’s colleagues from the ministry.

Deng Yunheng came to the left of Zhao Jing, the old leader, holding a glass of mild glutinous rice wine, and said with a smile: "Leader, thank you for taking the time to come thousands of miles to attend our wedding. We toast you and wish you all your wishes come true and you will be promoted step by step."

Zhao Jing also stood up with the wine in her hand and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Deng, Madam Deng, I also wish you a happy family and a son soon."

After both sides toasted, Deng Yunheng then toasted other colleagues. After toasting everyone, he moved to the table next to him.

This table was filled with Peking University alumni. Deng Yunheng first toasted to the county magistrate, Li Haibo: "County Magistrate Li, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend our wedding. We toast to you and wish you a prosperous career."

Li Haibo also stood up with his wine in hand and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Deng, Madam Deng, I also wish you a happy marriage and a son soon."

Next, they toasted everyone one by one before moving on to the next table.

This table was filled with fellow Peking University students. Deng Yunheng first toasted to District Chief Song Yu: "Sister Song, there is no need to say more. Everything is in the wine."

Song Yu stood up with the wine in his hand and said with a smile, "Well, everything is in the wine. I wish you a son soon."

Then, it was the table of Peking University classmates. Deng Yunheng first toasted his roommate Tang Mingjie: "Brother Jie, we haven't seen each other for a while. Anyway, you have already quit your job in the system. Don't rush back after you come here. I will find time to have a few drinks with you tomorrow."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Tang Mingjie was very moved when he heard this. Although his family had some background, this background might be difficult to touch for Deng Yunheng who was still a student. But for Deng Yunheng who was already a director-level cadre and had a provincial-level father-in-law, it was nothing.

Under such circumstances, Deng Yunheng still treated him as a good brother and called him Brother Jie, which of course touched him.

"Since County Magistrate Deng has spoken, I'm definitely not in a hurry to go back."

At this point, Tang Mingjie raised his glass and said, "I wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon."

After toasting the classmates, they came to the table of the county government. The first person to toast was naturally Song's father, the county magistrate: "Uncle Song, thank you for coming to our wedding. We toast you a glass and wish you good health and a happy family."

Song's father also stood up with the wine in his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you. I also wish you a happy marriage and a son soon."

After toasting to the county leaders, they went to the table of township leaders.

Then, it was as if springs were installed under the buttocks of all the township leaders, and they were all bounced up in an instant.

The officialdom is so realistic. Before, when Deng Yunheng toasted, he would only stand up after he toasted to the person he was toasting.

Now, when Deng Yunheng came here to toast, none of the township leaders dared to sit there openly.

After all, Deng Yunheng's current rank is already at the deputy director level. To all the township leaders, he is a real big shot. Even if they do not work in the same county, his rank is there. How dare they sit there waiting for the leaders to toast them!

Deng Yunheng certainly would not be arrogant, and he and his wife also toasted one by one.

Next, we pay our respects to the Deng clan members.

Although those who are qualified to attend today's wedding are all prominent figures among the clan, they are still far inferior to someone of Deng Yunheng's status.

Moreover, even if we don't consider the official positions, just considering the seniority in the clan, few people present are qualified to sit and wait for Deng Yunheng to toast, not to mention that the head of the Deng clan, who is of higher seniority, is also beside them. As juniors, how can they sit still? In addition to these branch clan members, the same is true for toasting other people in the clan. Basically, when the bride and groom walk over, they all stand up with wine in their hands.

There is no need to be so polite with clan members. Just toast each table directly instead of one by one.

In this way, the speed of toasting is much faster, and it takes basically ten seconds to toast a whole table.

However, it took more than two hours to toast to hundreds of tables, and I was still very tired.

Fortunately, I only drank a little more at the beginning when I toasted to my leaders, colleagues, classmates, alumni and fellow villagers. Later on, I was basically casual when toasting to my clansmen, so I didn't drink too much.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Weiwei, you didn't eat much just now, so you must be hungry now. You and Yunheng go over and sit down first. I'll have someone heat up the food."

Gu Caiwei smiled sweetly and said, "Dad, you've been busy all day and you've worked hard. I'll serve you the meal and you can come and eat quickly."

Deng Shirong responded with a smile on his face: "Well, I'll be right there."

As for Deng Yuntai, Zhang Xiuping, Deng Yunzhen, Zhu Junjie, Deng Yunzhu, Deng Yunsong, Deng Yunhua, Deng Yunheng and others, they were not idle. They were distributing five flavors to the clan members, one piece of five flavors and a bag of wedding candy (containing candies, cakes, melon seeds, peanuts and the like) to each person. This is the rule for holding weddings in Shuangwang Territory.

Of course, this was only the case during that era. In later generations, as packaged food became more popular, people no longer prepared the five flavors separately.

Families who are more particular will prepare an extra bowl of braised pork for each person.

The bowl is a relatively large iron bowl, which is filled with braised pork and given to the customer to take away together with the bowl.

The five flavors can only be given to clan members, clan members, relatives and friends, and county leaders, but not to guests who have come from afar. It's not that I don't want to give them, but it would be a waste if I gave them. I can't let people carry a bag of five flavors back to the capital, right? It would have rotted a long time ago.

After Deng Yunheng and his companions had their meal, relatives, friends and members of the Deng family came to say goodbye, and as the bride and groom, they had to see them off.

While the bride and groom were busy, Gu's father also started chatting with Zhao Jing and Li Haibo, two younger generations with good backgrounds. The county leaders were also not idle and also chatted with this group of colleagues who graduated from Peking University.

Leaders of ministries and commissions also joined in, and everyone exchanged ideas. Although it was unknown whether they would have the chance to meet again after this meeting, it certainly did no harm to make more friends. Who knows, one day these relationships might be useful? They chatted until about four in the afternoon, and then everyone got on the wedding car and returned to Bobai.

Tonight, Deng Shirong and his family did not plan to spend the night in their hometown, but instead went to Bobai County to spend the night.

At the same time, many guests will be sent to Bobai to spend the night, and then sent to Nanning tomorrow.
