Chapter 217: Marriage in Progress
July 20th is a good day for marriage.
Five o'clock in the morning.
The wedding team showed up at Shen's house on time.
Shen Tinglan had already washed up and was waiting obediently.
In fact, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night. Instead, Lin Zhiqiu next to her was sleeping soundly.
She also said that she would wake her up, but in the end it was Shen Tinglan who woke her up.
The costume designer first put on the dragon and phoenix gown for Shen Tinglan. The dragon and phoenix gown was a specially customized gown.
The silk has a delicate luster, with gold and silver threads interwoven, and the light flows as you move.
The chest line is slightly narrowed, the waist and abdomen are cut just right, and the three-quarter cuffs are tight, making the person look graceful and dignified, with a straight figure.
Next is the makeup. Chen Tinglan is naturally fair-skinned, so she uses the whitest foundation. She also has bright eyebrows and white teeth, and looks like a painting. The makeup artist hardly needs to apply, modify or cover up, just simple touch-ups to add the icing on the cake.
The bride is stunningly beautiful and has an unparalleled appearance.
Her hairstyle was just a simple low bun, with a custom-made nine-tailed phoenix hairpin.
"So beautiful!" Lin Zhiqiu exclaimed enviously.
Shen Tinglan looked in the mirror: "It's okay, but today I'm the bride, so I am beautiful."
Mother Shen heard this as soon as she entered the room, and said with a smile: "Shame on you."
Shen Tinglan looked up and saw that although her mother was smiling, there were tears in her eyes.
"mom--"
"Ting Lan, we are here." It was Wu Lili, Xiang Hui and Zuo Jia.
The sad atmosphere was broken at once, and Mother Shen retracted her thoughts, "I'm going to cook the dumplings, you guys can sit wherever you want."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Several people thanked her, and Wu Lili turned around and circled around Shen Tinglan: "Tinglan, you are so beautiful, you are the only fairy who has come down to earth."
Shen Tinglan laughed and hit her: "You're exaggerating."
"Thank you for coming to block my door today. The banquet in Jiangcheng will be in a few days, but I have prepared a big red envelope for you."
As the bridesmaid, Lin Zhiqiu swiftly handed the red envelope that had been prepared long ago to Shen Tinglan.
Xiang Hui felt a little embarrassed: "This is not good."
Wu Lili said quickly: "Sister Hui, just keep it. This is the rule. Don't we have to give gifts too? Haha."
Zuo Jia was not polite at all. He took the red envelope handsomely and took out the gift he had prepared long ago: "I won't be polite with you, Ting Lan, happy wedding."
Shen Tinglan took it with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Jia."
Afterwards, Wu Lili and Xiang Hui also presented gifts and expressed their sincere blessings.
Zhou Lu came later.
The time came to half past six in the morning.
The men responsible for blocking the door are Jiang Zhen, Shen Jianan, Wu Lili's boyfriend and the big guy Fu Zheng. It feels like this senior brother can do the work of three people.
There aren't many people, as long as there's something interesting going on. Shen Tinglan doesn't like too many people, for fear that the place will get out of control.
At 6:45, all the people on the female side arrived.
Mother Shen and Father Shen were busy in the kitchen cooking dumplings for everyone, and Aunt Ge came to help.
Shen Jianan held the bowl and kept looking downstairs, afraid that he would miss his brother-in-law and others entering the community.
"Knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.
The noisy room suddenly became quiet. Didn’t we say it was seven o’clock?
So early.
Shen Jianan was the first to rush to the door, ready for battle. His face flushed with excitement, he shouted towards the door: "That?"
"Shen Jianan, it's me."
Shen Jianan was stunned, opened the door, and without caring about anything, led Xiao Qing in.
The door slammed again.
Shen Jianan said stupidly: "I thought it was my brother-in-law and his family. Please sit down. I'll bring you some glutinous rice balls."
Xiao Qing's beautiful eyes turned, and while Shen Jianan went to the kitchen, she observed around and then walked towards the bedroom.
“Tinglan, happy wedding,” Xiao Qing handed a red envelope to Shen Tinglan who was sitting on the bed in a well-behaved manner.
Shen Tinglan smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Xiao Qing."
Xiao Qing smiled brightly: "Give me your shoes, I'll hide them for you and make sure Secretary Lin can't find them."
"Oh, okay." Shen Tinglan did as she was told, thinking about how the big boss couldn't find his wedding shoes.
She looked down and saw Xiao Qing wearing the gold bracelet that she and her mother had chosen on her wrist.
It seems that Mr. Xiao is serious.
"Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes..." Shen Jianan's nervous and excited voice roared in the living room.
Xiao Qing in the bedroom heard the sound and couldn't help laughing.
Shen Jianan, very interesting.
At the command.
All the men and women started moving. Fu Zheng was the biggest, so he was blocking the front.
It has the momentum of one man guarding the pass and ten thousand men unable to break through.
Shen Jianan was the most boisterous, shouting, "Brothers and sisters, we need to be patient and give him all the red envelopes that our brother-in-law prepared. Don't be afraid of him."
Everyone started laughing.
Only Wu Lili's boyfriend Luo Zeyang, who was unaware of the situation, echoed: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely hold on."
"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.
Shen Jianan asked first: "Who is it?"
Outside the door, Lin Zhizhou was dressed in a neat suit, looking very noble. He held flowers in his hands and spoke in his usual calm voice: "Here to pick up the bride."
If you listen carefully, you can still hear a subtle excitement in the calm tone.
A group of military men stood behind him.
Led by Guo Tunan, there is also secretary Chen Jing.
Inside the door, Shen Jianan said again: "You can pick up the bride, but it depends on whether the red envelope is sufficient. I have a lot of people here, and I want everyone to be satisfied with their seats."
Chen Jing held up the prepared red envelope and shouted, "Brother Zhou, here, let's knock them out with the red envelopes."
Then red envelopes were stuffed in from under the door continuously. For a while, everyone was busy bending down to pick up the red envelopes.
Father Shen and Mother Shen stood in the living room and laughed a little. It was lively and good.
In the bedroom, Xiao Qing accompanied Shen Tinglan.
Shen Tinglan pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside, why was there no sound?
Are you coming in?
She thought.
Shen Jianan's voice rang out again: "It's not easy. I'm so embarrassed to accept the red envelopes."
He then asked the people blocking the door: "Did you all get your red envelopes?"
Everyone was holding a handful of red envelopes and was at a loss.
I don’t know this either.
I've never met anyone so generous.
Only Fu Zhengwei, who was in charge of the door, said aggrievedly: "Brother Jianan, I haven't yet."
Lin Zhiqiu, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch: "Idiot, I got it for you."
"Okay, that's no problem."
Shen Jianan said, "Then let me ask a few more questions. The first question is, when is my sister's birthday?"
"The ninth day of the first lunar month." The senior leader outside the door answered almost immediately.
Shen Jianan cleared his throat and spoke again, "I don't believe it's difficult for you:" What is my sister's favorite food?"
"Spicy, spicy rabbit, spicy chicken feet, spicy shrimp, grilled squid..."
A series of non-stop answers.
Guo Tunan and Chen Jing looked at each other and said, "Awesome, really awesome."
This is almost the same as naming the dishes.
Shen Jianan was discouraged. "Then one last question. Who will manage your salary card from now on?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
“Hahahahahahaha…”
There was laughter both inside and outside the door.
Lin Zhizhou calmly replied: "My wife takes care of it."
Click...
The door opened.
The door opened too suddenly.
The two large groups stared at each other across the door frame.
Finally, someone shouted, "Charge, charge, charge..."
The two groups merged into one, with Lin Zhizhou walking in the front.
Although he seemed calm, his hands holding the bouquet had actually started to sweat.
There were too many people and it was a bit crowded. Guo Tunan was a soldier and was not particular about details. He walked with a swagger and hit Xiang Hui on the side with his elbow.
Guo Tunan turned around and looked, "Oh my god, what is that thing? It's so soft."
She saw the woman covering her chest and staring at her with some dissatisfaction, her eyes seemed to say "rude".
Guo Tunan's eyes widened.
"Let's go, brother." Someone pulled him.
As he walked, he looked back and saw Xiang Hui had already turned her back.
Lin Zhizhou walked into the bedroom. The little woman was sitting in the middle of the bed, her graceful almond-shaped eyes staring at him with a smile. His breathing slowed down.
A glance at the crowd reveals the colors of the world as dust.
Breathtakingly beautiful.
"Oh, my brother-in-law is stunned." Shen Jianan squeezed forward from the back and joked.
"Okay, brother-in-law, everything is yours after today anyway, and now we have to play games."
Everyone started to make a fuss again.
Lin Zhiqiu took the five balloons he had prepared.
Start by introducing the rules of the game: "Two of you groomsmen should face each other and pop the balloons. No hands are allowed."
As soon as she finished speaking, Guo Tunan, who was behind Lin Zhizhou, stood up and brought out a brother.
"Hey, what's this? We can handle it, give it to you."
"Oh, all right."
Lin Zhiqiu handed one over.
Every second, bang.
Then there were a series of bangs, bangs, bangs.
The people inside hadn't reacted yet. Xiang Hui, who was standing behind them, rubbed her chest and said, "Oh my god, no wonder it hurts so much. This guy's body is like iron."
Shen Jianan smirked and said, "Okay, here are the tonics we specially prepared for you."
The so-called tonic was specially prepared by Shen Jianan, with soybean oil, salt, vinegar, chili powder, and bitter melon juice added to it. In short, the ingredients are rich.
The groomsmen each had a small cup, and when it was Lin Zhizhou's turn, he had an extra cup.
Shen Jianan smiled strangely: "Brother-in-law, drink it."
Lin Zhizhou took the lead, holding the paper cup, and kept looking in the direction of the little woman.
Shen Tinglan could hardly sit still. Who knew what weird things that bastard Shen Jianan had come up with?
However, Lin Zhizhou looked at the worried eyes of the little woman and smiled. The next second, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp without even frowning.
Shen Jianan:......
He took the paper cup and smelled it. Yes, it had not been switched.
Until the sound of the groomsmen collectively vomiting.
Shen Jianan looked at his brother-in-law as if he were a ghost.
This is a divine man.
The next step is to find wedding shoes.
A group of people searched the entire house inside and out but couldn't find it.
While they were separated to look for shoes, Shen Tinglan reached out to pull Lin Zhizhou: "Are you okay? Is it hard to drink?"
Lin Zhizhou looked at her and pressed his throat: "It's okay."
"I'll tell you in secret, the shoes are with Xiao Qing." Lin Zhizhou turned around and gave the little woman a sly smile.
He squeezed her palm and restrained himself.
He responded in a low voice: "Okay."
The two of them whispered to each other.
The man who was looking for the shoes returned empty-handed.
Lin Zhizhou walked straight towards Xiao Qing, "Boss Xiao, should I take it myself or do you take it?"
Xiao Qing laughed and took out her wedding shoes from her bag: "Secretary Lin is smart."
"Thanks."
After thanking her, Lin Zhizhou walked towards the young woman with the wedding shoes.
He knelt on one knee, lifted her ankle with his right hand and gently held it in his palm. He looked up and gazed at her affectionately, his eyes meeting a pair of bright dark brown pupils.
The man's eyes did not move, and the white instep of the foot in his palm slowly moved up. He suddenly lowered his head and placed a solemn and passionate kiss on the instep of the woman's foot.
"oh……"
"Oh yo..."
Suddenly the room was filled with noise and the photographer captured this warm moment.
Then, the wedding shoes landed steadily on her feet.
The big boss was already thinking of leaning over to hug someone.
Brother-in-law Shen Jianan hurried over and said, "According to the rules, I have to carry my sister downstairs."
Lin Zhizhou looked back and saw Shen's mother standing at the door, feeling a little embarrassed: "This is the rule, but it's not really..."
Lin Zhizhou didn't say anything and gave his seat to Shen Jianan.
The meaning is self-evident.
Shen Jianan happily squatted down, "Sister, come up."
Shen Tinglan laughed so hard that he couldn't help laughing, and glanced at the expression of the big leader beside him.
Let Shen Jianan carry him on his back.
Shen Jianan was walking in front, carrying his sister on his back. He turned his head and said, "If your brother-in-law bullies you, come back. If he doesn't let you come back, tell me and I'll pick you up."
The senior leader beside him took over and said: "That day will never come."
"Hi, brother-in-law, you're here." Shen Jianan said angrily.
Shen Tinglan patted his forehead: “Don’t worry, I’m the only one bullying him.”
"Wife, you're right."
"Tsk, this will take a lifetime."
Lin Zhizhou said calmly: "Then please ask my brother-in-law to supervise you for the rest of your life."
We talked all the way, got into the elevator, and went downstairs.
Lin Zhizhou took her beloved child and held it horizontally in his arms, walking towards the wedding car outside the community.
Shen Jianan stood there, feeling very uncomfortable.
I feel sad.
How come his sister got married?
Snap...
He was slapped on the back of his head by Mother Shen again.
"What are you doing, Mom?"
Mother Shen hurriedly handed him the bag in her hand: "Why are you in a daze? There are still many things to do. If you are any later, we will be on the plane and you should not go."
A group of people took the elevator down in several batches.
Mother Shen apologized to her daughter's friends who couldn't go to Kyoto: "Thank you all for today. I will hold a wedding banquet here in a few days and invite everyone. I have booked a meal at the hotel today. You must go over to eat later. Thank you for your hard work."
"Auntie, you are so polite."
Xiao Qing said: "Auntie, don't worry, I will entertain my friends, you guys hurry up and follow."
Mother Shen was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Okay, then I'll trouble Xiaoqing, and I'll leave this side of the house to you."
After saying the word "home", Xiao Qing smiled.
The group of people were busy with their own things.
Inside the wedding car.
The rear seat backrest had already been raised.
Lin Zhizhou couldn't wait to hold the little woman in his arms and kiss her.
Shen Tinglan didn't dare to move too much because there was a driver in front.
He secretly pinched the soft flesh on the leader's waist with one hand.
Let him know when to stop.
During the two-hour drive, Shen Tinglan felt that Lin Zhizhou was a pervert.
He kept his eyes fixed on her without blinking, and when he had looked enough, he hugged her and kissed her, and when he had kissed enough, he stared at her again without blinking.
At ten o'clock in the morning, a team of wedding cars arrived at the airport on time.
Zhengli Group’s special plane.
She never touched the ground and was carried onto the plane by a senior leader.
She glanced around and saw the receptionist standing in front of the plane. The scene was formal and grand.
Being wealthy and powerful is no longer a good explanation, it can only be said to be a reflection of the carrier of wealth.
Two hours later.
The plane landed at Kyoto Airport.
Before Shen Tinglan had time to sigh, she was carried into an RV again.
The planning team began to touch up her makeup, fix her hair and clothes, leaving her with no time to think.
The leader's clothes were simple and could be put away quickly.
He brought over the dry pot spareribs that Aunt Ge had prepared in advance.
"Are you hungry? Eat something first. We'll have a ceremony at the hotel later, so we'll have to eat later."
"I'm not hungry, just leave it there." Shen Tinglan didn't have the heart to think about whether he was hungry or not.
She was refurbished.
Enter the hotel venue on time at 12:30.
Lin Zhizhou came over to comfort her: "We need to separate for a while now. I'll wait for you on the stage."
"Yeah, I know."
The big boss wanted to come over and kiss her, but then thought she had just put on her makeup, so he just squeezed her hand and said deeply: "Good girl."
Shen Tinglan stood outside the gate, ready to enter.
The person beside him changed from Lin Zhizhou to Shen's father.
"Old man, are you nervous?"
"Why am I nervous?"
"Then why are your hands shaking?"
Father Shen choked and didn't say anything. His eyes felt a little uncomfortable, probably because of sand.
The host is speaking.
The door of the venue was opened in advance, and Shen Tinglan was led to the flower stand by the staff holding her father's hand.
The host on the other side was still speaking.
Then the big leader followed the instructions and came on stage.
He stood on the platform, tall and straight, his suit well-tailored, and his temperament steady and restrained.
The man on the high platform is her lifelong home.
She was not nervous at the moment, but her heart was burning with excitement.
The man she loved at the age of eighteen came to marry her.
She turned sideways to Mr. Shen and said, “Dad, my daughter is very happy.”
Father Shen held his baby daughter's hand: "Dad knows, Dad wants to tell you that your family will always be your support."
"Yeah, I know."
As the music played, a tall, well-defined, and handsome man walked towards her step by step with steady steps, holding flowers in his hands.
She smiled, tears welling up in her eyes.
Lin Zhizhou walked up to Mr. Shen and said, "Dad, don't worry and leave Tinglan to me."
Father Shen took his daughter's hand and placed it in Lin Zhizhou's palm: "Dad wishes you happiness."
Father Shen stepped down from the stage and stood shoulder to shoulder with Mother Shen behind him.
On the stage, Shen Tinglan took Lin Zhizhou's arm and walked to the center of the stage.
Lin Zhizhou held her hand and never let go.
Because of the identity relationship, the procedure is relatively simple.
The host spoke very little, and the process was almost entirely dominated by the top leaders.
As the music started again, Lin Zhizhou took the wedding ring prepared by the emcee, knelt on one knee, took her left hand, put the ring on her ring finger, and stood up.
"Wife, I married you."
Shen Tinglan looked at the incredibly handsome man in front of her, took the men's ring handed to her by the emcee, her hands shaking a little, and Lin Zhizhou held her wrist and put it steadily on her ring finger.
When Shen Tinglan looked up again, tears streamed down her cheeks, smudging her makeup.
The eighteen-year-old Shen Tinglan made a wish to marry Lin Zhizhou without knowing her place in the world.
It happened today.
Lin Zhizhou held her in his arms and said in a low voice, "Don't cry, my dear."
The lights suddenly came on.
The makeup artist came forward to touch up the makeup while the staff on stage were setting up the work.
Next is the cost of changing your statement.
Before Shen Tinglan could feel sad for a while, she met her father-in-law, Lin Zhenhai, whom she had never met before.
Lin Zhenhai's face was flushed and his laughter was deafening.
Her emotions changed rapidly, and the big boss beside her put his arm around her waist.
He whispered to her, "That's Daddy."
Shen Tinglan nodded: "I know."
At this time, Shen's father and mother also came on stage.
The host was about to speak.
Lin Zhenhai waved his hand and said, "Let's get straight to the point. Tinglan, come here and get your red envelope."
Shen Tinglan: ...
Lin Zhizhou explained: "Lin Sling is like this, you just have to get used to it."
Shen Tinglan stepped forward obediently and called out in a clear and bright voice: "Dad."
"Hey, my good girl."
"Take the red envelope, red envelope. Ask that kid to give you his red envelope later. Hahahaha..." Another loud laugh. There was no need for a microphone. The voice was so loud that the guests in the audience could hear it clearly.
Shen Tinglan took the red envelope with a smile: “Thank you, Dad.”
"Okay, okay."
Shen Tinglan turned to Zhou Qingtang again: "Mom."
Another red envelope was received, "Thank you, Mom."
Zhou Qingtang smiled gently: "Good boy."
It's the leader's turn.
He stood in front of Mr. Shen and said in a steady voice, "Dad."
Father Shen responded and gave a red envelope.
He called Shen's mother again: "Mom."
Mother Shen also happily agreed and gave a thick red envelope.
Lin Zhizhou held two red envelopes in his hand and handed them to his wife before he stepped down.
Shen Tinglan was very happy holding it in his hand. Who would complain about having too much money?
The two were taken backstage by staff to change clothes.
Lin Zhizhou narrowed his eyes when he saw her smile: "You are so happy to have a red envelope. I will let you count it slowly tonight."
"Really?" Shen Tinglan's eyes lit up.
Lin Zhizhou reached out and pinched the tip of her nose, "Really, little money-grubber."
While speaking.
The clothes and makeup have been packed.
She changed into a bright red sleeveless slim dress with gold threads and diamonds on both sides of the epaulettes and a hollow back.
The temperament is graceful and noble, stunning and luxurious.
Lin Zhizhou changed into a black suit with dark patterns. The overall change was not big. He looked stern when looking at others, but gentle as water when looking at little women.
The two appeared in the hall hand in hand.
Instantly attract everyone's attention.
What a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
They didn't need to toast at every table, so Zhou Qingtang led the newlyweds to the old man's table first.
Whatever Zhou Qingtang introduced, Shen Tinglan followed suit.
Then they went to a table of elders and the wine was toasted.
It's so fast that it's unimaginable.
Lin Zhizhou arranged for her to eat at the main table: "You eat first, I'll go over there and have a drink with you."
"Well, go ahead."
Lin Zhizhou then reminded Zhiqiu: "Take care of your sister-in-law."
"I know, I know." Lin Zhiqiu said and sat next to Shen Tinglan.
Everyone at this table knows each other.
The most shameless one was Shen Jianan, who was eating with oil dripping from his mouth.
She looked towards the table where the senior leader was sitting. Grandpa Lin, her parents, and her parents-in-law were all drinking happily.
Only now did the son have time to observe the hall carefully.
There are not many tables, only about twenty or so, but they are very good.
She couldn't name some of the familiar ones, having only seen them on TV.
They are all big shots. Judging from their temperament, they are basically important politicians.
He looked away very tactfully.
Lin Zhiqiu picked up some food and put it in the bowl.
"Try it, it's delicious."
"Good, um... delicious!"
Lin Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Then eat more. You must be tired today. I think you are tired."
Shen Tinglan took the goblet in front of him and took a sip: "Hey, this is also called drinking."
"This has a strong aftereffect. Drink less. My brother asked me to watch you."
Shen Tinglan took another sip: "Really? I didn't feel that way."
Although the big boss was entertaining guests during the meal, his eyes would occasionally turn to the little woman.
Occasionally, strangers would come up to her and toast her, and she would politely accept the toast without being servile or arrogant.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The wedding banquet is over.
Shen Tinglan was dizzy from drinking.
What Lin Zhiqiu said was true, this wine has a strong aftereffect.
She didn't have time to feel sad during the entire wedding.
She got drunk at her own wedding.
