It was also a coincidence that Jiang Nianyun, who was supposed to be happily arranging the wedding arrangements at this time, like Yao Peifang, was actually worried about Ning Weimin.
And Jiang Nianyun was obviously more anxious than Yao Peifang, and the old lady was so anxious that she almost got angry.
Not for anything else, just because what she encountered was urgent.
Who would have thought that something would happen to an important person who was indispensable for picking up the bride today.
What's going on?
Dare to love the people from the capital who are particular about getting married.
According to local customs in the capital, there must be a marrying wife in the team going to pick up a bride in the capital.
This role not only has a valuable status, but also has the meaning of seeking good luck and blessing the newlyweds. It is related to the newlyweds' future happiness in life.
Therefore, it is necessary to be a harmonious person with parents, spouse, and children, also called a "full blessing person."
Knowing the importance of this matter, Jiang Nianyun naturally did not dare to neglect it. From the moment she decided to handle this matter, she began to look for suitable candidates.
But since she doesn't have many connections in Beijing, she can only choose from a limited number of people.
Originally, she thought Song Huagui was the most suitable candidate. Her parents were here, her husband and wife were harmonious, and they had both children.
Although her husband is a foreigner from Bulgaria and not a native of the country, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko also have a transnational marriage.
So looking at it this way, there is nothing more appropriate than asking her to be the bride.
But the problem is that the woman still lacks a send-off wife.
Considering that Matsumoto Keiko was not a local, she had to move to the Pierre Cardin Hotel on the first day of the wedding and treat the room there as her mother's home. The husband would pick up the bride from there the next day.
It is only natural that Song Huagui was assigned to the woman and took on the responsibility of giving birth to his wife.
So Jiang Nianyun had to find another wife on the man's side, which was even more difficult, because it was not easy to find someone with the same status as Song Huagui.
Anyway, let's find out. Jiang Nianyun later negotiated the matter with the wife of an official in the municipal government.
This official is the person who specializes in foreign investment and personally gives Yunyuan Hotel instructions on legal procedures and preferential policies.
Her wife is also a person who likes fun and is very happy about this matter. She is undoubtedly destined to be the limelight when she becomes the married wife.
Especially because she learned from Jiang Nianyun that Ning Weimin, the major shareholder of Yunyuan, is also a shareholder of Pierre Cardin Company, and that the bride married Japanese star Keiko Matsumoto, she felt even more honored and felt that this was enough It adds luster to the face.
Jiang Nianyun had a good idea. In inviting this official's wife, her status was equal to that of Song Huagui.
It can also take the opportunity to deepen the relationship. If you win the favor of this lady, it will be easy to talk about any official matters in the future, which will definitely be beneficial to the development of Yunyuan.
However, sometimes things just happen to go against people’s expectations.
Just two days before the wedding, because the Asian Games were approaching, in order to prepare for the organizing committee, the Olympic Council of Asia suddenly sent people to China.
The official's schedule was completely disrupted by this major foreign affairs event.
Not only did he have to participate in consultations with the Olympic Council of Asia, but because foreign guests often brought their wives with them, he also had to bring his own wife.
How unfortunate is this?
It happened that the official and his wife were so busy with business that they forgot about their promise to Jiang Nianyun.
It wasn't until last night that the official's wife suddenly remembered her promise to Jiang Nianyun and asked her secretary to call and apologize.
The secretary said that because of the sudden incident, the official’s wife could not accept the invitation, so the marriage had to be abandoned, which was a pity.
So Jiang Nianyun’s claws naturally became numb.
Actually, when this matter comes to this, it doesn’t matter whether she was wronged or not, whether she is to blame or not, the key is what to do now?
Looking for someone to replace you?
Then she didn't have a suitable candidate, and she tried her best to find the wife herself.
Even her son Shen Cun was worried for her, "Mom, didn't Yunyuan arrange for two more actresses from Hong Kong to stay yesterday? The older one seemed to me to be very graceful. She is a relatively well-known actor in Hong Kong. I heard that she was hired to play the second female lead in "Crazy Rich Asians" and to play the role of Zun Lung's mother. And I think you and she seemed to have a good rapport. How about... Can we ask her to help?”
“No, no, how can she? Although she is beautiful and famous, she doesn’t even have children...”
Seeing Jiang Nianyun shaking her head and denying it without hesitation, Shen Cun could only say, "If it really doesn't work, you'd better discuss it with your cousin. Although the old man doesn't like to deal with powerful people, no matter what, "I know the boss in the capital is better than you, right? For such a big thing, don't worry about face. Let's work it out first to avoid making a fool of ourselves tomorrow."
That's it. Jiang Nianyun was eager to follow Quan, so she told Kang Shude everything about the situation to see if he had the ability to invite any "Bodhisattva" to come to the rescue.
Kang Shude didn't expect that the marriage would come to such a stage, but he couldn't blame it.
After all, such an accident is beyond human control.
You can't blame her for breaking the appointment, let alone Jiang Nianyun's inability to do things well.
To be honest, Shen Cun really thinks highly of him.
Because don’t forget, Quanfu is a woman, so how can we get to know him as a lonely old man?
So after thinking hard, he could only think of two people who could almost save him from this emergency.
One is Miao Yujuan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family in No. 2 Courtyard of Shan'er Hutong, and the other is Liu Weijing, Zhang Shihui's daughter-in-law.
But there is one thing to say, these two people are not satisfactory.
First of all, one of them is a female worker, and the other’s husband is Song Huagui’s subordinate. Their social status is definitely not comparable to Song Huagui’s.
Secondly, regarding the issue of heirs, due to policy restrictions, both of them have one son and lack a daughter.
For this reason, Kang Shude spoke frankly to Jiang Nianyun, "If you have a better candidate, use yours. Anyway, these are the only two candidates I have, and I can't think of one more. And I have to Let me remind you, if you want to use someone, you have to say hello quickly. As the old saying goes, it takes three days to invite someone and two days to greet them. Fortunately, these are all relatives and friends who are really living a good life. Once you have said it clearly, you will never stand idly by and watch our jokes.”
Needless to say, what else can we do now that things have come to this?
Jiang Nianyun chose Miao Yujuan as it was expedient.
At least you look more stable when you are older, don’t you?
And Liu Weijing and Song Huagui are also very different in age.
In this way, by calling Luo Guangliang that night, Kang Shude and the Luo family explained the situation clearly on the phone and that Miao Yujuan was needed to come to the rescue. The matter of marrying his wife was settled.
Jiang Nianyun finally felt more at ease. But the problem is that good things come in a long way. No, the sun is high today and no one has come yet.
Can Jiang Nianyun not be anxious? Her heart suddenly became anxious again.
She was restless and suppressed her anxiety until nine o'clock in the morning. She couldn't wait any longer.
You know, the car will leave here at ten o'clock at the latest to pick up the bride, and when the person arrives, you have to put on makeup and dress up.
After much thought, she felt that Kang Shude might not have explained things clearly to others, so she rushed to Kang Shude's courtyard.
She just wanted to ask him if he knew the time arrangement here and whether he had made it clear to the Luo family yesterday.
Unexpectedly, when she eagerly walked into Kang Shude's yard, she was unexpectedly surprised and saw an incredible scene.
Kang Shude was moving things from the wing of the east room to the west room where he lived.
You Qi didn't know why, but looking at him with his back on his back, looking around, hurriedly running towards the west room with his things in his arms, he seemed to be dodging and dodging, and not very upright.
Looking at the things he moved, they were quite big and covered with sheets. It seemed that he deliberately did not want people to see what they were, which made it even more secretive.
What we know is that he was moving items in his own home. Anyone who doesn’t know must think that he is a thief.
Just because she encountered such a strange thing, Jiang Nianyun put her purpose behind her mind and forgot about everything.
She approached quietly, opened the door gently, and followed Kang Shude into the house without making any sound.
I saw Kang Shude put the things he just brought over in the back room, turned around and opened the cabinet, as if he was looking for a place to hide them.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing this scene, Jiang Nianyun finally couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.
The result was a sentence that shocked Kang Shude.
Looking back, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was her. "I said, why are you walking silently? I was shocked. Even when I opened the door, there was no sound."
"Hey, is it my fault?"
Jiang Nianyun was amused, "What a good thing, you treat it like a treasure, and you want to hide it? If people see this, you are not afraid of their jokes. "
How could I know that Kang Shude said, "Don't hide? It would be a joke if you don't hide. I wish I could hide there without seeing anyone. Come on. Just in time, help me get into this house, don't let others see it. I'll let Wei Min decide what to do tomorrow."
"Hey, what did you say? What did you bring in? Could it be something mysterious? "
"A gift, but it's almost like explosives!"
Kang Shude still said angrily, but this time he revealed the main perpetrator before Jiang Nianyun took the initiative to ask.
"That Zhang Shihui is really a headache. How vulgar! He is so vulgar! He actually sent something like this to Wei Min today. Come and see too! How can such a thing be seen by people?"< br>
As he said that, he opened the sheet covering the thing, and a dragon boat that was about one meter in length and one meter and a half in height was revealed.
The color of the dragon boat is quite beautiful, golden and a little red.
It is actually made of paper, with a pavilion on the boat and a sail on the mast.
From the perspective of origami handicrafts, it is also very lifelike.
But as a wedding gift, it’s a bit like useless waste.
It should take a lot of effort, but it is of no practical use. In terms of craftsmanship and shape, it certainly cannot be compared with serious wood carvings, ivory carvings, stone carvings, and jade carvings.
To put it bluntly, it’s just like a child.
Jiang Nianyun was immediately happy, and tried to persuade her in the right direction without looking too much, "Why are you angry about this? It's also the child's wish. I think it's quite good. Although it's not worth anything, this origami It takes a lot of work. It takes ten and a half months to fold it like this. I think Wei Min is not a philistine. He values friendship more than material things. He naturally understands that etiquette is more important than affection. , I won’t mind.”
But it turned out that she was wrong, and she heard Kang Shude say, "Do I dislike the etiquette? I said you should take a closer look. What is this folded with? I'm not telling you, your eyes are a bit strange." What a great spiritual light!”
Hearing what he said, Jiang Nianyun had no choice but to look at it again, and this time she must have looked more seriously.
The result is really true, it is easy to see that it is unusual.
"This, this...this, why are there numbers on it? Fifty? This...this, this...could this be..."
"Yes! That's right! This is it. Made of banknotes! All the parts on this boat are the fourth set of new RMB notes issued by the country in April this year. How can you say that Zhang Shihui has no brains? He actually came up with such an idea and used fifty yuan bills to fold out such a big thing! But you think he has a brain, right? He doesn't want to put such a thing in his new house. What does it look like here? Isn’t this decent? You said he didn’t even think about it. If the guests today see such a vulgar thing, what will they think of Wei Min?”
Jiang Nianyun was really stunned by Kang Shude's words!
Just such a boat would cost at least 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
It seems that if you don’t have a thousand banknotes, you will never be able to fold them.
It should be said that Ning Weimin is a very interesting friend, both in terms of his intentions and the size of the gift, and he has done a good job.
But this is the form...
Don't tell me, this style is really low and vulgar.
She has never seen such a philistine thing in her life!
But having said that, you still have to persuade, "Forget it, why get angry about this matter. After all, you are still a young man, and sometimes you act without thinking carefully. But your heart is always good. ..."
However, Jiang Nianyun's words not only failed to have the desired effect, but she was once again surprised by what Kang Shude said next.
“I also know it’s a good intention, it’s just one or two pieces. I’m angry with Zhang Shihui, a brat like him, for actually engaging in a series of connections. He also gave this idea to others and let everyone do this together. Go and have a look in the east room. There are several of them in various sizes. Gu Si'er, Xiao Tao, even Guang Liang are here to do this! , these are not just one or two ships, they range from one cent to one hundred yuan, they are almost catching up with the Beiyang Navy!”
"Ah!"
Jiang Nianyun was really shocked now.
If that’s the case, how many ships will we need?
If you rank them from big to small, how much money will these dragon boats folded with banknotes cost? (End of this chapter)
