Chapter 2423 It’s useless to run
Mrs. Meng died. No one knew whether she died on the night of the Gregorian calendar or in the early morning of the first day of the New Year. No one knew what she was thinking at the last moment of her life. Judging from the expression of her eyes that were not closed in death, she must have had regrets and resentments. There must be hatred.
As for Meng's wife's death, only the people in the small village and the master who helped take care of the day knew about it. The people in Jiudao were celebrating their own festivals.
Classmate Le didn't know that Meng's wife was gone. She and Lan San were flying to the capital, rushing to attend the wedding banquet of handsome Liu Da.
The Liu family's mistress is finally going to be single, and the Liu family is naturally happy. It was originally planned to be done last year, but it was rescheduled midway. This time, the Liu family is taking care of it very seriously.
The Liu family in the capital had the New Year's Day holiday and divided their forces into two groups. One group was at home to set up operations, and the other group entered the paradise on the 30th and also stayed in the Haitang courtyard of the guest house.
A group of people living in the guest house of the paradise first cleared the snow and cleared the road from the west gate to the Hall of Heroes, and then cleaned the main road of the paradise to make it easier for guests to visit the park.
The hotel staff also entered the park on the 30th. Mr. Liu's wedding banquet was the New Year's Day luncheon. The ingredients were all available and there was no time to cook.
The wedding company went to the Paradise Hall of Heroes one day in advance to tie red silk, and early in the morning on New Year's Day they went to place flower baskets and some potted flowers.
Young Master Liu and Miss Geng were getting married and it was scheduled to be at five o'clock in the morning. Young Master Liu and his bride-grooming team got up in the middle of the night and went to Geng's house at night to pick up the bride.
The Geng family had few relatives and friends, so Mr. Liu arranged for several of his younger brothers to replace the Geng family relatives.
If you ask yourself how Tian’s mother feels about her girl getting married, she has only one idea - it’s quite sudden!
At the end of October, her daughter and Xiaoliu confessed to her that they loved each other and were planning to get married. She was confused for three or four days before she managed to calm down.
She never dreamed that Xiaoliu would become her son-in-law.
Of course she was extremely satisfied with this son-in-law. After all, she was used to Xiaoliu's existence and regarded Xiaoliu as one of her own.
Xiaoliu became a son-in-law, well, that was another kind of close relationship.
Therefore, after being confused, Tian’s mother happily accepted her prospective son-in-law.
However, her neighbors were not as calm as she was. From the time they received the invitation to New Year's Day, they always talked about it with envy and disbelief.
The Geng family has no relatives and has a good relationship with the neighbors. Over the years, the neighbors have often taken care of their mother and daughter. When Ms. Geng got married, she naturally sent invitations to her neighbors and said in advance that she would send a car to pick her up.
Miss Geng's bridesmaids were all her comrades in the army. They were all handsome and handsome. When they put on the bridesmaid dresses, they had a slightly cool temperament, which was even more eye-catching.
The Liu family also customized retro-style handmade wedding clothes for their two sons. In order to reduce the bulkiness, they were made of wool inside and red satin material on the outside, so they would not feel cold when worn.
The Liu family's first car was Young Master Yan's car, and it had a private license plate, so it was naturally not a public car for private use.
Mr. Liu took the groomsmen and the wedding group and set off in the dark. After arriving at Geng's house, he waited until an auspicious time to pick up the bride, pay homage to the bride and then leave the pavilion to go to Liu's house.
Tian's mother was not reluctant to give up. Her girl and Xiao Liu were married, not married. The two children made it clear that they would have two babies, one with the surname Geng and the other with the surname Liu.
As for which surname is Liu and which is Geng, let the first baby choose by himself. The child will be castrated when he is born, and he will have whatever surname he catches. The second baby will naturally have another surname.
When the newlyweds said goodbye, Tian’s mother smiled so happily that she shed tears as she smiled.
Several neighbors of the Geng family got up early to watch the ceremony at the Geng family, and the scene was quite lively.
Mr. Liu received his wife and returned to Liu's house in the dark. He arrived at home before 7:30 to worship, had breakfast with relatives and friends, and then rushed to the paradise.
When the couple left the park, they also notified the motorcade waiting near Geng's house to pick up the woman's neighbors.
The in-laws of the Liu family and the neighbors of the Geng family arrived at the park first, and their cars were parked in the park. The parking spaces outside the park were available for non-relative guests.
The Liu family's invitation stated that they would officially receive guests at ten o'clock, but most of the guests had arrived before ten o'clock.
The guests are actually here, so naturally they cannot be allowed to drink the northwest wind outside. Please come and sit in the west pavilion of the Hall of Heroes.
Cooking was being done in the kitchen of Wuweilou. The stove, which was connected to the heating system of Qunying Hall through a secret passage, kept smoking day and night. The hot air entered the underground heating passage of Qunying Hall from the secret passage, and the whole hall was warmed.
The five-flavor cabinet was not idle either. The two kitchens and the Hall of Heroes were scorched by the heat. The snow on the roof melted due to the heat, and water dripped along the tiles, bit by bit, like broken pearls.
Snow melting in some areas will not have any impact on the wedding banquet work.
In order to accommodate all the guests, Mr. Le evened out the west room of the main hall, and combined the three rooms in the west pavilion into four rooms, and still separated it from the main hall with a screen.
The weather was cold, so of the four rooms in the west pavilion, only the two partition doors facing south were opened. The bride and groom, as well as the Liu family, were waiting at the door to greet the guests.
In addition, personnel were arranged to inspect the stickers at the west gate of the park.
When Miss Chao Er married Mr. Xiao, there was no strict name verification, which allowed people to take advantage of the loophole, and hundreds of people were added to the marriage.
There are only so many tables set by the Liu family. If there are dozens more tables, not only will there be no place to sit, but there will also be no food.
Although the Liu family stated on the invitation that they would only accept invitees, they did not rule out the possibility that some people would take chances and "bring" people to occupy the seats.
Therefore, in order to prevent the embarrassing situation of not having enough seats at the time, the Liu family made preparations in advance and arranged for personnel to stand at the door to check the stickers.
If there are two people written on an invitation, then only two people are allowed in, regardless of whether they are present in person. If the invitation only invites a certain person, that invitation will only allow one person to enter.
The people who checked the posts included the hotel waiters and several of Mr. Liu's disciples, and they all followed the rules strictly.
There are indeed some people who are lucky and want to fish in troubled waters and bring one or two people into the park to "gain experience". When they get there, they find that the host wants to "verify their names" before letting them go, so they can only quietly send away the people who are following them. .
After the guests enter the garden, they give congratulatory gifts to the newlyweds. They can sit in the west pavilion of the Hall of Heroes, sit in the "Jiahe Zhai", or go to the garden to enjoy the snow.
There are heaters in the West Pavilion and "Jiahe Zhai" where you can play chess and chat. Tea, nuts, fruits, and snacks are provided. There are also kotatsus in several pavilions and waterside pavilions in the garden, and fruits and nuts are available on the table.
Neither the stone boat on Yinyue Lake nor the Guanlan Pavilion has a kotatsu.
The elderly like to be elegant, but unfortunately they are too old to bear the cold, so they can only chat and play chess with their old friends indoors. The younger and middle-aged people go to the garden to hang out if they are afraid of being bored.
The Liu family's post said that everyone should be seated at 12 o'clock, and most of the guests arrived before 11 o'clock.
Classmate Le Xiao and Handsome Lan hurried slowly and finally returned to the park when the clock passed 11:30.
The helicopter enters the park from the gate and flies very low. Even if the helicopter cannot be seen, the sound of the helicopter propeller can still be heard. The best man and bridesmaid, the newlyweds, and everyone in the Liu family who were in the colonnade of the Hall of Heroes were the first to see the helicopter. The young and old men of the Liu family secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the owner of the park was not at home, the guests kept asking the little girl sideways questions. Everyone knew that those people wanted to know whether the little girl would attend the Liu family's luncheon.
Before, the young and old of the Liu family did not dare to say that the little girl would definitely come. They only told the truth that the little girl would go home to spend the holidays with her family. Now that the little girl has rushed back to the paradise, the Liu family's reputation has been stabilized.
The handsome guy Lan drove the helicopter to the front of the hangar and landed, then taxied into the shed to park, and then got off the helicopter.
The little Loli got off the helicopter, put on a purple silk mink fur cloak, put on a bonnet, carried her backpack, and returned to the east courtyard first.
Lan Santi picked up her backpack, walked around to the Wuwei Cupboard, and asked Brother Fu to get the key to open the door and put the backpack in.
Brother Fu threw the key to his room to Lan San and asked, "Did you have fun going home, little beauty?"
"I'm very happy." Lan San took the key and left.
Brother Fu and Brother Qian also understood. Lan San said that little Lolita was very happy in her hometown, which meant nothing happened. If she said "fair" or "not bad", something unpleasant must have happened.
Lan San put his backpack in Brother Fu's room, locked the door, and went to the Wuwei Cupboard to help with work.
Student Le Xiao returned to the east courtyard, opened the east corner door to enter the courtyard, went to the upper room and opened the door of Langhuan Hall, then took out a large three-legged round-belly copper furnace from the storage container and placed it in the center of the inner room. There were ashes in the furnace, so there was no need to use it. Then fill in the ashes, put some yak dung, light it, and add silver frost charcoal when it is burning.
It will take a while for the silver frost charcoal to burn through. First, open the bedroom door and put away your backpack, unbutton the cloak and put it aside, and put on another half-sleeved fox fur with a straight placket.
Find a small box, put some gems in it, and tie it with a ribbon.
After preparing the gifts, he stuffed the small box and the red envelope that others entrusted him with into his sleeves. Then he went to the central hall and stacked the red-hot silver frost charcoal into a rack, and added more silver frost charcoal.
Then cover the furnace lid. The lid of the copper furnace is in the shape of a hollow mountain, which can be split into two layers. There is a beam in the middle of the first layer, and a semicircular copper bowl hangs in it, which is used to store spices.
The top layer is the mountain peak. When the lid of the copper furnace is closed, incense is placed in the furnace, and the incense is burned by the charcoal into smoke. The smoke comes out of the hollow holes, and the smoke is lingering. The hills are looming or appearing, like a fairyland.
Le Yun put two fragrant balls into a small copper bowl, closed the stove lid, straightened her clothes, went straight to the outer courtyard, exited the gate of the Concubine's Paradise, and locked the east corner door.
If you don't lock the door, you can take care of it, but if you lock the door, you don't have to pay attention all the time.
People who were enjoying the snow and scenery in the garden saw the helicopter and knew that the owner of the garden was back. In addition, it was almost time to sit down, so they all returned to the Hall of Heroes.
When Mr. Le came out of the east courtyard, the northeast, east, and southeast corners of the park were all empty. Those who walked slower also quickly reached the west gate area.
Le Xiaoxiao took his time and walked along the main road that had been cleared of snow, passed through the snow-covered lawn, and went from the garden path behind the screen wall to the avenue facing the Hall of Heroes.
All the guests have already entered the West Pavilion, and the guests in the hall also went to their seats.
Mr. Liu, who was dressed in auspicious clothes, saw the little Lolita who was slowly approaching in an orange dress with her hands folded in her sleeves. She smiled so much that her eyes almost narrowed into slits. When she stepped on the steps, she turned to the West Pavilion and held her daughter-in-law's hand. He greeted her with his hand: "Happy New Year's Day, little beauty!"
"Brother Liu, beautiful lady Geng, happy wedding." Le Yun smiled at the newlyweds who were surrounded by the best man and bridesmaids. She took out a bunch of red envelopes from her sleeve pocket and handed them over: "This is the Xuanjia Jijia among my friends in the world. The Hua family, the Zhou family, the Ren family, the Duan family, the Dantai family, the Lu family, the Jiang family, the Xin family, the Jiangnan family, the Chen family, and the C city’s Tang family and Gushao family sent them congratulatory gifts. You didn’t send them invitations because you were afraid that you would be embarrassed when they came, so you asked me to send you a congratulatory gift. I wish you a happy wedding.”
The red envelope was thick and not thin at all. Mr. Liu took it and handed it to the groomsmen who were collecting the red envelope. He thanked her and said, "Thank you very much. Please help me, little beauty, to thank you in advance. From now on, my wife and I will They’re all on vacation, let’s make an appointment to treat them to a meal.”
"Okay, I will convey it." Le Yun nodded and took out a small box from her sleeve: "This is my wedding gift to you.
I don’t know what style of jewelry you like, so I’ll give you a few gemstones and design your own style. ”
"Thank you, little cutie." Geng Jingxin took the box and stretched out her hand to pinch the cutie's pink cheeks.
As soon as she stretched out her claws, Le Yun knew what she was going to do. She jumped up and jumped over the threshold and ran in: "Brother Chao, someone is bullying your sister!"
The little Loli escaped and even complained. Geng Jingxin couldn't laugh or cry: "Senior Chao's little cutie, I didn't do anything. I didn't bring you to accuse me like this."
"You pinch my face every time you see me. This time I am running fast. If I were half a second slower, my face would be in your hands."
Le Yun was afraid of being intercepted by others on the road, so she ran very fast and went straight to her beautiful brother who was sitting at a table in the west room of the main hall.
Mr. Liu saw the little girl running towards the corner as if flying, and laughed loudly: "Little girl, it's useless for you to run, you will still come to us later."
"Please, Mr. Liu, please let me go. In the past two months, I was caught by the old professors at school every day to exploit the labor force, which caused me to have a psychological shadow. I fainted when I saw the elderly. I even contacted Grandpa Chao and Grandpa Zhou. I dare not go anywhere.
I need to watch handsome guys and beautiful girls to cure my visual fatigue. I need to sit with handsome guys like my handsome brother and Brother Li to have a beautiful and good mood. ”
"I don't care, you have to come here even if you are dizzy." Mr. Liu announced his decision willfully.
"Old Liu, don't go too far. With old guys like us here, you're still not satisfied. Why are you forcing the little guy to do it?"
"That's right, do you think us old guys are no longer handsome and don't have the eye-catching looks of little dumplings?"
Mr. Chao, Mr. Zhou and others happily went to help Xiaotuanzi.
Old Liu glared at a group of old guys. These old guys were too unkind. They didn't help him keep Xiaotuanzi, but they still sided with Xiaotuanzi. He really wanted to roll up his sleeves and reason with them.
Young Master Wanqi, who was sitting next to Young Master Chao, was very smart. When he saw his grandma's little girl running towards him, he quickly gave up his seat and ran to the spare embroidery pier placed against the partition screen. Hug yourself and sit.
With the Chao family elders helping her to shield Old Liu, Le Yun walked around several tables without stopping and rushed to Brother Meiren. When she saw the seat reserved for herself, she sat down and hugged Brother Meiren's arm. It's like a sloth hugging a tree trunk and never letting go.
"Brother Chao, your sister is frightened and needs chicken soup for the soul."
"Xiao Lele, come to Brother Li. I have a lot of chicken soup for the soul. I want to drink a few bowls of it."
"Little beauty, come to me."
"Little beauty, I'll give you chicken soup for the soul. How many bowls do you want?"
All the handsome boys at the same table and next to her were eager to take away Mr. Chao’s precious girl.
