"Alright, you two get up and let's go. Don't miss the auspicious time."
The two kowtowed three more times to the two elderly people before Ping An helped Hu Peizhen up.
Wu Hui walked behind, feeling jealous as he looked at Hu Peizhen being held in front of him.
Once outside, seeing the luxurious motorcade, she felt even more envious. She was no less than Hu Peizhen, so why couldn't she find such a high-quality man?
Hu Peizhen didn't tell her, how could her husband not know whether he had money or not?
Seeing the most elegant one get into the car, I quickly went over and got into that car too.
Wu Hui's idea was that since she was so beautiful, she had to make a good impression on high-quality men, and maybe she could even rise to a better position. She wouldn't have to calculate every penny she spent anymore.
Liu Chongyu paid no attention to outsiders. Even if he knew someone was watching him, he ignored it.
The car started slowly, and the sound of firecrackers came from behind.
Ping An put his arm around Hu Peizhen, and the two sat in the back.
"Don't cry, this is just a formality. We'll come back every week from now on."
Hu Peizhen nodded. Her mother had also told her not to look back after getting on the bus. Actually, she really wanted to turn around and take a look at the home she had lived in for twenty-two years.
When the car arrived at the Cheng family's house, the firecrackers outside went off for a full half hour.
Er Ya and Cheng Guangxu, along with their relatives, all came out to greet them.
Ping An and Hu Peizhen got out of the car. Hu Peizhen was wearing a veil, and Tian Ling and Gan Ping were helping her. When they were told that her parents-in-law had come out to greet them, Hu Peizhen quickly called out, "Mom and Dad!"
Two red envelopes were stuffed into my hand. "Alright, alright, let's go inside."
Hu Peizhen was helped to the living room, where Er Ya and Cheng Guangxi sat down next to Liu Maocai and Li Cuihua.
Ping An helped Hu Peizhen and the other person kneel down.
"Grandma and Grandpa." He then kowtowed three times.
Liu Maocai and Li Cuihua were grinning from ear to ear. "Get up quickly." After saying that, Li Cuihua leaned over and handed Hu Peizhen a wooden box and two red envelopes.
Hu Peizhen handed the gift to Tian Ling beside her, and then kowtowed to Cheng Guangxu and Er Ya.
This time I received two boxes and two red envelopes.
Seeing that it was already 10:15, Song Zigan hurriedly told the young couple to go back to their room and that the veil should be lifted.
Hu Peizhen's childhood friends, classmates, and Zhiyuan followed the couple inside.
Li Cuihua had already prepared the scales, and Hu Peizhen sat on the bed while Liu Qiang and the others cheered.
Ping An lifted the veil, and the beautiful bride appeared before everyone's eyes.
There was another burst of laughter, but it didn't get too out of hand.
All the female relatives came to see the new bride and praised Hu Peizhen for her beauty.
At 10:45, everyone set off for the restaurant.
Hu Peizhen's three college classmates were sitting in one car. "Hu Peizhen's in-laws are really rich; they actually held their wedding banquet at a restaurant," Wu Hui said with a smile to the other two.
"Yes, I saw it. All the appliances in their house are top-of-the-line, and their relatives all seem to be wealthy, dressed very well. There are even two military officers among them."
The other one remained silent, but was also envious.
"If I had a boyfriend with such good qualities, I would also be willing to get married early."
When the three of them got off the bus and saw the most luxurious hotel in the capital, they were truly envious. They had only ever passed by here before and never dared to go in for a look. They never expected that someone would actually be holding a banquet here.
The hotel manager personally greeted us outside, and a waiter came to lead us around.
The three girls were a little reserved. They were all from ordinary families and had never seen such a scene before.
There were three cameras in the lobby alone, and three photographers. It was quite a scene.
There weren't many tables, only about twenty. At 11:15, Liu Jingze and the young couple stood together on the high platform in front.
"Welcome everyone to Cheng Ping'an and Hu Peizhen's wedding banquet."
Among you are their elders, relatives, and friends.
Today, we've gathered here to offer our heartfelt blessings to the young couple.
Today I am honored to be their emcee, and like everyone else, I witness this unforgettable moment.
Now, please welcome their officiant to the stage.
Applause erupted from below, and Zhang Hongmei pulled Zhang Shouyi onto the stage.
Didn't you say I didn't need to get involved?
"Now I need your help."
After the two went on stage, the audience fell silent.
The manager personally brought over two microphones and respectfully handed them to the two men.
"You go first," Zhang Hongmei nudged Zhang Shouyi's arm.
Zhang Shouyi picked up the microphone and was genuinely a little nervous.
"Welcome everyone. Although Ping An isn't my son, he's no different from my own. So I thank you all for coming." After saying this, Zhang Shouyi glanced at Zhang Hongmei, as if to say, "It's your turn."
"I feel the same way. Thank you all for attending their wedding. My husband is right. Although Ping An is not my biological son, he grew up by my side since he was little. I am happy to be the officiant for this young couple today."
Ping An held Hu Peizhen's hand, and the two of them faced Zhang Hongmei and Zhang Shouyi, bowing deeply.
Zhang Hongmei and Zhang Shouyi smiled and helped the two of them up.
Zhang Shouyi picked up the microphone and said, "Now, my wife and I are here to witness Cheng Ping'an and Hu Peizhen becoming husband and wife."
As soon as Zhang Shouyi finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted from below.
Liu Jingze waited a moment, then coughed and said, "Alright, the young couple and their family have received everyone's blessings. Now, please take your seats. I hope you all enjoy the food and drinks."
Another round of enthusiastic applause followed. Everyone was a little excited; they had actually met a high-ranking leader on this occasion. This Cheng Ping'an was truly not to be underestimated.
Hu Peizhen's childhood friends and classmates didn't recognize Zhang Shouyi and his group, but judging from their imposing presence, they knew they must be important figures. Hearing the whispers among the people below, they realized that these were high-ranking leaders.
Wu Hui was taken aback by the unexpected handsomeness of the man.
After Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Hongmei came down from the building, they went directly to a private room where the entire Zhang family was present.
The dishes at the wedding banquet were served very quickly. The nine children rarely ate out, so they were naturally curious, and Zhang Shouyi patiently explained things to them.
“Mom, I’ll go with Ping An to offer the toasts.” Gu Yaozu stood up.
"Fourth son, with you following Ping An, how will others dare to drink?" Zhang Hongmei asked her son.
"Hehe, Mom, I think this is even better." Zhang Weiyu said with a smile. With the fourth brother by his side, no one dared to give Ping An any more drinks.
Gu Yaozu and his mother smiled and went out to look for Ping An. As good brothers, they had to help each other at this time.
