Chapter 278 Chapter 278 Wedding 2
Some people say grapes are sour because they can't eat them, and they even mock and ridicule Xu Yunfan for being so powerful. He said that after marrying a husband, he would become rich and powerful. With General Qin and Prince Xiao as his father-in-laws, he would have avoided at least decades of detours compared to them. With two father-in-laws to support and protect him, it doesn't matter if Xu Yunfan has nothing, even if he is penniless and far away from home. He only needs to marry a husband, and he will have money and power. It can be said that he is soaring to the sky. In the future, they will have to bow to him when they meet him.
Damn it!
Whoever said that being good-looking is useless, that’s all bullshit.
Look at Xu Yunfan!
He is obviously a man, but he just shed a few crocodile tears, which makes me feel even more pitiful than other girls and boys.
Damn it!
They should have been jealous, but at that moment, they actually felt sorry for their competitors!
Oh my god!
It's crazy.
There's nothing you can do about it. It's because Xu Yunfan got married today, so he dressed up specially and he really has the capital to attract people's attention.
Before entering the restaurant, according to custom, the man's elders should loudly announce and recite the betrothal gifts that the man offers to the woman and her brothers' families, so that everyone can clearly know the man's background, thereby giving the woman and her brothers a certain amount of confidence, and also announcing to everyone present what kind of strength and capital the man's family has, and how strong its background is.
This part is the singing ceremony.
Singing rituals were not popular among the common people. Only the upper class did it for the sake of face. After all, ordinary people only had a little money in every household.
I can't sing in any way.
The only elder of Xu Yunfan here is Fang Zixi, so who else can be qualified to sing the ceremony except Fang Zixi?
Fang Zixi was ready.
After the guests were seated, Fang Zixi cleared her throat and read aloud. The guests did not pay attention to the long string of words beforehand. They just wanted to know how much betrothal gift Xu Yunfan could give since the Qin and Xiao families had given so much dowry.
Fang Zixi read out: "All the shops in the Food City, including the restaurants, music halls, and farms inside, are betrothal gifts."
"Also, the flour mill, meat canning factory, and food processing factory outside the northern suburbs... a total of 26 factories and 60 acres of land near the factories were all given to Qin Fulang as betrothal gifts."
"In addition, Yunrun Book Factory and its affiliated Yunrun bookstores in various places were all sent as betrothal gifts to Qin Fulang."
"The above are the 26 factories in the northern suburbs. The smallest factory has a daily revenue of 7,600 taels. The 26 factories have only been open for three months, and the revenue of the larger factories cannot be calculated yet."
"The Yunrun Book Factory has recently begun operations. The order we negotiated with the Imperial Academy Scholar earlier is worth approximately 260,000 taels, and a total of 130,000 books need to be produced. Since the factory is just beginning operations, the Yunrun Bookstore currently has no books for sale. Therefore, the bookstore's profits are currently unknown. None of the aforementioned factories, the food court, or even the shops have experienced losses. There is no fraudulent selling of inferior goods as superior ones."
As Fang Zixi finished speaking, everyone exploded in laughter.
What?
Are all the factories in the northern suburbs run by Xu Yunfan?
As far as they knew, the factory was a money-making beast. Every day, there were at least 200 horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts transporting goods from the northern suburbs to various city gates and docks.
They had guessed this before, and now Fang Zixi's words undoubtedly confirmed that the factory in the northern suburbs was really making a fortune.
"No, are you curious about these things now? We already know about the factory in the northern suburbs, and we've also seen the so-called Food City, but what kind of food city is it? It's true that the restaurant here is indeed luxurious and eye-catching, but the specific profits are still unknown."
Hearing this, a young man sitting next to him chuckled twice. Lu Fengnian said with a smile, "No matter how much the Food City earns, just look at the factories in the northern suburbs and the 260,000 taels order from Yunrun Book Factory. That's enough. We only need these two. It doesn't matter whether we look at the others or not, and there's no need to look at them."
"Yes, two hundred and sixty thousand taels! That's not twenty-six thousand taels, but two hundred and sixty thousand taels. And with the cooperation of Zheng Daxueshi, the deal is done."
"Apart from me, are you all the only ones who think of this? Isn't anyone as curious as I am about what the so-called book factory is? 130,000 books, that's no joke, and they're not all uniform books. Even if we hire a few hundred people to copy them, how many years will it take? This deal is done. 260,000 taels may seem like a lot, but the ink, paper, and inkstone are not cheap either. And then there's the labor costs. With this calculation, after copying 130,000 books, it's hard to say whether it's a profit or a loss. Don't let it end up like this, with profits in the northern suburbs and losses here at the book factory."
"What you said sounds very reasonable, but why do I taste a sour taste the more I taste it?"
Lu Fengnian shook his head and sneered, "Before you say these things, please go and investigate first. Where did the bamboo paper that the Qi family recently launched come from?"
Not to mention, if Lu Fengnian didn’t have that kind of relationship with the Fang family, he might not know about this relationship.
Those who heard this nearby immediately looked at the Qi family sitting at another table.
"Master Qi, can you explain this to us all?"
Qi Yuanyang glanced at the person asking the question and thought to himself, this group of people really won't give up until they see the Yellow River. Lu Fengnian's hint is not very obvious, but they are still unwilling to give up and have to confirm with him.
Then he would satisfy these young men, so that these young masters who usually don't know what to do would know that just because they are of the same age, what they can't do doesn't mean others can't do it. This is what it means that there are always people better than you.
"Just as Young Master Lu said, the bamboo paper that our Qi family has just launched is indeed due to our cooperation with Xu Xiucai. In addition, the candles we launched a few months ago were also purchased from Xu Xiucai."
Wow!
This is what it means when a single stone causes a thousand ripples.
Was bamboo paper made by Xu Yunfan?
In this case, how could he still be short of paper?
He even made the candles. Damn, is there anything this guy can't do?
This guy, it can be said, makes whatever is expensive and popular in the market.
Look, the canned meat that Yunrun store has put on the shelves recently is not enough to sell even if thousands of pieces are put on the shelves every day. Everyone has to scramble to buy it.
Damn it, they didn’t dare to ask other questions, for fear that the more they asked, the more hurt they would be.
Not only the men didn't ask anymore, but even the boys and girls didn't ask anymore.
There is no way. The more I know, the more envious and jealous I become.
Same guy, why is Qin Run so lucky that she can marry such a good man like Xu Yunfan?
Not to mention how Xu Yunfan stood out in the teacher competition and won the top three, and how great he would be in the future, just the unforgettable wedding he prepared for Qin Run today and the betrothal gifts were enough to make them imagine.
It's really hard not to be moved by such a good man.
If I were standing next to Xu Yunfan today, being led down the bridal sedan by him, walking down the red carpet with him, and the one making him cry with joy, how happy they would be! I'm afraid I would wake up laughing even in my sleep!
When they saw the newlyweds bowing to each other, the boys and girls, who were getting more and more excited, felt as if their eyes were burned, and they frowned and retracted their obscure gazes.
Someone like Xu Yunfan is not something they can dream of.
No matter how shocked others were by the betrothal gift Xu Yunfan gave to Qin Run, and how envious they all were of Qin Run, the Qin family, and the Xiao family, Xu Yunfan didn't care at this moment.
After taking a few sips of wine, Xu Yunfan felt a burning sensation in his throat.
As night fell, the guests, who had eaten and drunk their fill, felt heavy on their butts and refused to move.
Let’s go, why should we leave? The young master of the Qi family said that there will be a fireworks show to watch tonight.
Fireworks! Whether they had seen them at the Qi family’s old man’s birthday party or had heard of them before, they all couldn’t forget them and were full of curiosity.
However, a group of children couldn't sit still and ran out calling their friends, picking up the petals that fell on the red carpet and putting them in their pockets. They wanted to take the petals back as souvenirs.
Some children, curious, gazed for a long time at either side of the red carpet where the balloons were flying, discussing how the white smoke and bubbles came from and why they weren't coming out now. They wanted to see the beautiful bubbles again; they were so beautiful and fun to play with.
The time was up, and Xie Baizhou shouted at the door of the restaurant, asking all the guests to move to the open space outside.
"No, it's so dark outside, shouldn't we go upstairs and take a look?"
"Yes, I remember seeing fireworks at Mr. Qi's birthday party. We watched it upstairs."
"Wow, Dad, Mom, come out and see! It's so bright outside, so beautiful! It's so beautiful! Dad, Mom, big brother, big sister, come and see!"
Several children ran in, shouting and insisting that their parents go out to see the shiny and beautiful things.
As for what that thing was, they didn't know, but they knew that the brightness was something they had never seen before, something that made people happy at the first sight.
When everyone heard this, they ran out impatiently.
As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, everyone had the illusion of stepping into a fairyland.
"What...what are these?"
They originally thought that the outside of the restaurant, which should be pitch black, was actually brightly lit.
The food city is filled with light strips and lanterns hanging three or four meters high. Light strips are also hung on both sides of the cement road. In the flat food city, a group of children are running around happily, chattering non-stop to express their excitement at the moment.
The adults' chests rose and fell.
Damn it!
Just because of these things, there is no need to worry that the food city will have no customers in the future. Even for them, they will walk to see it for a night before going back to sleep.
When the guests walked to the open space, the lights went out instantly. Just as everyone was startled, the light strip spanning the restaurant and the music hall suddenly lit up in mid-air.
The little dots of light from the stars suddenly gathered together to form a sentence.
It's a very vulgar and straightforward sentence. Compared with those beautiful, elegant and subtle words, this sentence is completely unpoetic.
But such a simple, easy to understand, ordinary sentence is so romantic at this moment.
"Qin Run, let's get married!"
The moment this sentence came out, it caused a burst of gasps and became the focus of the whole audience.
"Bang", as the light came on, as if afraid that it would not be eye-catching enough in the dark night, thousands of stars exploded in the sky behind the light strip, and the meteor shower illuminated the reality.
Qin Run looked up, his eyes became hot, and he quickly raised his hand to cover his lips. His breathing became uncontrollable and his chest heaved rapidly.
Not only Qin Run cried, but all the boys and girls present were also crying with envy.
Xiao Hengzhi stared at the sentence in a daze, his eyes fell on the envious Qin Feiyu, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Lin Xiaoran looked at the children running around in the food city, clapped his hands, and asked them to return to their adults first to watch the fireworks show.
"Okay, brother, we'll be good and you can set off fireworks for us to watch."
They had also heard of fireworks, and according to friends who had seen them, they were very beautiful.
As the children were caught by their adults, they illuminated everything in sight, which was an eye-opener for the guests. They were reluctant to blink, fearing that the light strips in front of them were just a dream and would suddenly dim.
As the light strip dimmed, everyone was about to ask what was going on when a bright light shot up into the sky and cut through the night sky.
With a bang.
Hey yo!
People who have never seen fireworks are just scared by the blink of an eye.
After blinking, they quickly opened their eyes again, afraid of missing something, and saw the fireworks lighting up in the sky. The scene was so beautiful that it made their breathing stop for a moment.
There was a muffled bang, and thousands of stars came into view. The shock was enough to make everyone present exclaim in surprise.
Xu Yunfan has put a lot of effort into tonight's wedding banquet.
Just these fireworks, in modern times, would be worth at least 10 million.
But the suitcase was so annoying, probably because it was happy for him, that it had been "spitting out" these things for several days. What could he do? He could only accept them "reluctantly".
Xu Yunfan was busy for two days just for this fireworks show. He took into account which type of fireworks to put where, how to arrange them to make them look good, etc.
Thanks to his careful preparation, tonight's fireworks show is truly unforgettable.
Bang!
The entire food city was illuminated.
After a few bangs, there was a beeping sound in the air, and colorful fireworks exploded. Rays of light with tails crossed the sky, as if to compete with thousands of stars, and with unstoppable momentum, they forcefully invaded the guests' sight.
It is no exaggeration to say that this scene is the most beautiful scene they have ever seen.
Even the Qi and Qin family members who had seen what fireworks were were stunned.
What are the fireworks I’ve seen before?
The fireworks show I saw tonight was truly unforgettable.
Xiao Hengzhi looked up at the colorful fireworks flashing in the air, holding Qin Feiyu tightly in one hand, with complicated feelings in his heart.
It has to be said that even though it was only a fleeting moment, it was deeply imprinted in their hearts, enough to make people never forget it. If he also had the ability to prepare such a wedding for Qin Feiyu, he would definitely be very happy.
Not only Xiao Hengzhi thought so, almost everyone present thought so.
Unmarried men and women secretly thought that if they got married in the future, their husbands would be able to prepare such a wedding for them.
They didn't ask for much, and they didn't want much. As for betrothal gifts, they didn't compare it with Xu Yunfan. They just wanted an enviable wedding like the one Xu Yunfan prepared for Qin Run.
Look at the wedding dresses that Xu Yunfan and Qin Run are wearing today. They are gorgeous, luxurious, and grand. In short, they are extremely beautiful. You can tell at a glance that the texture is extraordinary. The aura makes people feel that the other person is looking down on them.
Looking at the red carpet they walked on and the so-called wedding photos placed at the entrance of the restaurant, they are all pleasing to the eye.
Whether it was the clothes or the details, it was enough to see how much thought Xu Yunfan put into this wedding.
As a husband, how happy Qin Run must be to have a man take such great care of his wedding!
The fireworks show ended, and the guests looked back every few steps and left reluctantly.
The Qin, Xiao, and Fang families were arranged to stay in the VIP rooms on the sixth floor of the restaurant.
Several families checked in under the arrangement of Qi Xiu Ze and others. As soon as they entered the room, they saw the layout of the room and their hearts started pounding. Wow, is this the so-called VIP room?
This arrangement is truly worthy of the title of "VIP".
In the supreme VIP room.
Xu Yunfan poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Qin Run, and urged: "Run'er, hurry up, let's drink the wedding wine quickly."
There is no way, Xu Yunfan has to be anxious!
He found that Qin Run was really handsome today. Wearing a wedding dress, he was so handsome that people couldn't take their eyes off him. If Qin Run appeared on the streets of modern times like this, I wonder how many young ladies would fall in love with him.
It is undeniable that men’s desire to conquer is sometimes not limited to any occasion.
Right now, Xu Yunfan just wanted to quickly pin this handsome man down, to make him express any expression he wanted, whether it was unbearable or blushing with shame and forbearance... In short, tonight he wanted to do whatever he wanted, to tear Qin Run apart and devour him. He wanted to make him cry.
Otherwise it would be a bit unfair. He urinated a few drops of horse urine today, but Qin Run just had red eyes.
Xu Yunfan is narrow-minded and petty, and he feels that it is unfair. He wants to get revenge on Qin Run.
Qin Run drank the small half cup of wedding wine in one gulp without even having time to put it back on the table. When Xu Yunfan looked down at the wine glass he had thrown away and had not yet looked up to ask him why he had thrown it away, perhaps because he had been holding it in for too long, and now there was no one else in the room except them, he could not help it anymore, and the suppressed desire burst out and rebounded. Qin Run pressed the confused Xu Yunfan onto the bed.
God knows, from the moment he saw Xu Yunfan in his bright red wedding gown, when he saw how much he had prepared for the wedding, and when he noticed that the guys who came to the wedding banquet were looking at him with envy, he wanted so much to have Xu Yunfan for himself.
He longed for Xu Yunfan so much that he only wanted to use this method to prove that Xu Yunfan belonged to him, only to him, and no one could take her away from him.
Such a good man belongs to him alone!
He longed so much for possession, to satisfy that dark and unrevealable possessive desire, to unite with the one he loved. There must be sex where there is love, and that was right in itself. So, he wanted to indulge himself once, and his rationality temporarily ran away from home.
"No, what are you doing?" Xu Yunfan was confused by the pressure.
Qin Run was silent. At this moment, talking was a waste of time. He preferred to use actual actions to tell Xu Yunfan what he was going to do and what he wanted to do.
What else could he do? Of course, he had to do the things that a newlywed couple should do in their bridal chamber.
Xu Yunfan was dumbfounded after being pinned down on the bed and being mistreated by Qin Run. This shouldn't be the case. This was not what he had imagined.
Until Qin Run was riding on him, Xu Yunfan no longer had time to think about those trivial things.
The person on her body sprinkled kisses on her chest, and then kept stroking his cheek. The face of the person under her was clearly reflected in her tender eyes, and her unconcealed love flowed out like a trickle.
There is no place to hide the love.
"Yunfan, I love you, I love you so much!"
The voice that suddenly rang in his ears was so hoarse that it made his scalp tingle. There was a hint of low sexiness in the hoarseness, which was lazy and seductive, making Xu Yunfan's ears itch and his body soften.
"Yunfan, be good and I'll make you feel comfortable, okay?"
"I'll be good." Xu Yunfan immediately gave up "struggling". In fact, it didn't matter who was on top and who was on the bottom. He was not a big brother anyway. It was actually quite good to lie down and let others "serve" him.
Qin Run just looked at Xu Yunfan tirelessly, lifted his chin, and kissed him tenderly over and over again in the tangled and hot breaths.
Xu Yunfan couldn't resist such naked and deep love at all, and responded passively. When Qin Run kissed him, he kissed him again and again. Several times, Xu Yunfan held Qin Run's thin lips, kissing him completely, and making slight sounds from time to time, showing how passionate their kiss was.
Xu Yunfan's hands were restlessly on her body. The girl was not that perky, but in his opinion it was just right, and the touch was great. He rubbed and pinched her buttocks, which he couldn't let go, and opened his mouth, allowing Qin Run to explore and take.
After being tossed by the red waves all night, Xu Yunfan fell asleep exhausted only when the sky turned white.
After the intense exercise, when the rapid breathing subsided, Qin Run got up, dressed, went into the bathroom, filled a basin with water, and carefully washed Xu Yunfan.
"Hmm?" Xu Yunfan moved dazedly as he felt a cold touch on his body. One of his hands habitually reached up and down beside him, but he couldn't touch the person who was supposed to be lying next to him. Xu Yunfan shuddered and immediately woke up.
Qin Run quickly said, "I'm here, you go to sleep obediently." He pushed Xu Yunfan down, and seeing that Xu Yunfan was really sleepy, he couldn't help but feel distressed.
Xu Yunfan tugged at Qin Run's wrist in frustration, "What are you doing? Why don't you sleep with me?"
Doing this will make me look unmanly, you know?
