Bo Yuzheng is a military and political dignitary, Yisheng has been abroad, and the wedding date is quite tight, so the two held a new-style wedding, all the ceremonies are simple, and the auditorium is located in the dance hall of the Majestic Hotel.
The Majestic Hotel was originally the most luxurious Western-style hotel in Shanghai at that time, and it has always been a gathering of celebrities and celebrities, but today's grand occasion is even more distinctive.
In the huge dance hall, covered with white roses and lilies decorated with flowers, full of shine, in the middle of the east head with cypress red cloth and white roses to build a pavilion, behind the pavilion in the middle of the white flowers and green leaves decorated with the shadow, hang the portrait of the prime minister, the two sides of the statue are hung with the party flag and the national flag respectively, in front of the pavilion is placed in the middle of a rectangular mahogany platform, the stage is displayed with flowers, wedding books, ink boxes and other things, the pavilion side is equipped with a music seat, the White Russian orchestra in a black tweed dress is waiting to be played, and there are family seats and press seats in front of the pavilion. On the east side of the auditorium, there is also a row of lanes, long red felt paving, and flowers on both sides for the bride and groom to pass, and the whole auditorium is arranged in a simple, elegant and solemn manner.
"Show me your invitations, both of you. At the entrance of the Majestic Hotel, there was an endless stream of guests from all walks of life, and the inspection work of several uniformed guards was unambiguous.
At this time, the visitor was a young man in a suit and a fashionable lady in a dress, who was guarded in a column, so he had to stop and hand the invitation card in his hand, the guard took it, carefully checked the invitation number and name from a roster, and checked the private seal of Feng Shuai on the lower right side of the invitation, confirmed that it was correct, and returned the invitation respectfully with both hands, "Mr. Cao, Miss Cao, please inside." β
The young lady surnamed Cao took back the invitation, casually stuffed it into her bag, her eyebrows were a little impatient, she went inside without saying a word, walked a few steps, but suddenly heard someone calling: "Young Master Cousin, Miss Cousin is here, please inside." β
Miss Cao followed the prestige, but saw that the person who came was Bo Yuzheng's confidential secretary Qi Jianzhao, she didn't want to be petty in front of Bo Yuzheng's people, and smiled, but she still complained half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Secretary Qi, who arranged the guards outside this door, I don't even know my brother and I, and we have to investigate so strictly." β
It turned out that Miss Cao's name was Jing Yun, and she was Mrs. Feng's niece, Mrs. Feng had no daughters under her knees, so she loved this niece very much, and because of the early death of her parents, she only had one brother to depend on each other, so she often took her to Pingyang Shuai's Mansion to take care of her, and she was very bothered to upbring, this Miss Jingyun was very smart and clever, so even Feng Shuai liked it very much, and the entire Shuai Mansion treated her as if she was Miss Feng's family, and because she always loved to pester Bo Yuzheng, over the years, Qi Jianzhao also knew her.
Hearing her say this, Qi Jianzhao didn't want to say anything, just smiled, and said thoughtfully: "They are also for foolproof, for fear that someone will get involved, and please forgive Miss Biao." β
Before Cao Jingyun could say anything, Qi Jianzhao had already made a gesture of invitation one step ahead, and said politely to the Cao brothers and sisters: "Miss Cousin, Young Master Cousin, please come inside, when you enter the auditorium, there will be a reception to invite the two of you to the family seat, and Jianzhao has other things, so I won't accompany you." β
Cao Jingyun heard him say this, and she couldn't be obsessed anymore, so she had to walk to the auditorium with her brother, but she still couldn't help muttering: "Isn't it just getting married, as for being so popular?"
Her brother Cao Jingxing smiled, "It's the eldest cousin who is married, what is his identity, you just look at who are in this auditorium now, you won't say this." β
Cao Jingyun heard the name of her sweetheart mentioned, although she was extremely resentful because of his marriage, but in the end, because it was a word of praise for him, her heart softened a lot, and when she raised her eyes, she also smiled: " That is to say, you see that there is still a long time before this wedding, but almost all of them are here, not all in the face of the eldest cousin and uncle, this is a look, I am afraid that there are more than a thousand people, which one is not an important member of the party-state, now the party, government, military, business, and literature elites from all walks of life are gathered here, no matter who has an accident, it is enough for China to tremble, not to mention that there are consuls from various countries, and the managers of those foreign-funded foreign banks have personally congratulated them, and those who can't come have sent representatives on a special trip, and there are a lot of reporters scrambling, no wonder my aunt is so carefulγ β
Cao Jingxing nodded and said: "On such a big occasion, it's always good to be careful, besides, how much effort did it take for the eldest cousin and uncle to invite Commander-in-Chief Jiang to witness the marriage at this wedding, so how much face does it take, and naturally there can be no mistakes." β
He said, paused for a moment, and then smiled: "But then again, the eldest cousin has always disliked these luxurious pomp and cumbersome etiquette in my impression, and this time he actually rendered the guests of the banquet so much, it was really beyond my expectations, he has always been cold-faced and cold-hearted, and he was not even moved by the obsession you had when you were a child, I really want to see what kind of fairy appearance this Miss Sheng family is, and she can make people like him fall in love." β
Cao Jingyun was not happy when she heard her brother's words, and sneered: "What kind of fairy look, it seems to be true, she just hit the luck-my aunt told me before she came to Shanghai, this marriage is difficult to ride, and marrying her is just to plug the mouths of those who have a heart! A businessman's daughter, covered in copper smell, is worthy of a big cousin?" Now I don't want to make do with a couple for a lifetime, and after this limelight, it's not impossible to divorce, just let the Sheng family be proud for a while, the higher you climb, the heavier the fall will be......"
"Okay, okay, Jing Yun, you don't care about the occasion, what do you say!" Cao Jingxing saw that his sister was getting more and more disagreeable, so he hurriedly interrupted her, looked around nervously, and said, "You can settle down, come to the table with me." β
Seeing that her brother was so afraid, Cao Jingyun sneered a few times, but she didn't say any more, but she didn't go with him.
She lowered her head and took out a pen and notebook from her bag, and raised it to Cao Jingxing, "You go over by yourself, I'll sit in the press booth over there, and the newspaper is still waiting for my manuscript." β
