Chapter 182: Qing Mo
The night is as cool as water, and the sky is full of stars.
The room had already been cleaned up, and Yu Xuan opened the suitcase and divided the gift into two parts for people to give out.
He took a shower, changed his clothes, and walked towards the courtyard where Shang Mengshu lived.
It was a separate courtyard where servants were coming in and out, carrying things.
Walking into the living room, Shen Jiao was actually there, and she looked surprised: "Why is Yuxuan here?"
"Auntie, I'm looking for my cousin, where is she?"
"Trying on clothes upstairs!"
Shen Jiao is Shang Zhijian's wife, and gave birth to a son, Shang Yuqing, her eyes are sharp, and she saw the rosewood box in Luoluo's arms for the first time, and wanted to ask, but in the end she didn't speak.
"Then you're busy, I'll go find her!"
Yu Xuan avoided the room full of furniture and walked up the stairs to the bedroom.
He knocked on the door: "Cousin, I'm Yu Xuan!"
"Oh, wait a minute!"
There was silence inside for a while, and then the door opened, and Shang Mengshu walked out in a white wedding dress.
"Cousin is so beautiful!" Yu Xuan said with a smile.
Shang Mengshu's expression was a little impressive, and she turned sideways to let him in and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this late hour?"
"Tomorrow is your big day, and grandpa can't come in person, so he asked someone to send some things to add makeup to you!"
Yu Xuan beckoned, Luoluo stepped forward and handed her the mahogany box, and Shang Mengshu took it in surprise.
"What is this?"
"Just open it and see it!" Yu Xuan said with a smile.
Shang Mengshu put the wooden box on the table, opened the copper buckle, and it was full of jewelry.
Thumb-sized pearl necklaces, purple diamond jewelry, emerald jade bracelets...... Each one is worth a fortune!
"This ......"
Shang Mengshu was at a loss, Yu Xuan closed the lid and said, "Cousin accepts it with peace of mind, this is a piece of grandpa's heart!"
Shang Mengshu's eyes were slightly red.
She is not married to a wealthy family this time, but an ordinary person, at most from a wealthy family. The two were college classmates, and they have always been in touch and slowly came together.
This is obviously not in line with his father's wishes, Shang Zhijian has always been resolutely opposed, and even locked her up and confiscated her mobile phone and computer.
It wasn't until she escaped and cried to beg her grandfather that Shang Chengdong spoke, and Shang Zhijian gritted his teeth and agreed.
But he obviously won't give his daughter any good looks, he doesn't have a dowry, he doesn't care about it at all, everything in the wedding is handled by the second uncle and aunt.
Shang Mengshu doesn't care about money, she just feels cold!
For Shang Zhijian, she no longer holds out any hope, but fortunately, there are other relatives to rely on.
She wiped her eyes and said, "Thank you uncle for me!"
"Hmm!"
When the things were delivered, Yu Xuan was inconvenient to stay longer, so he asked Shang Mengshu to stay and turned around and went downstairs.
……
The next morning, just after dawn, the manor was lively.
Servants were busy coming and going, the large lawn was covered with a red carpet, tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and flowers were lined with flowers on both sides of the road.
Yuxuan changed into a brand-new dress and was pulled by the Yuhong Yuguang brothers to stand at the gate to welcome the guests.
The groom also came, Xu Wenshuo, an associate professor at the Department of Political Science and Law at the University of Lyon, wearing a pair of round-framed glasses and looking polite.
He was wearing a blue suit, standing next to Shang Mengshu who was dressed up, and he looked very matched!
Guests arrived one after another to send their blessings to the couple, and the band played melodious tunes in a harmonious atmosphere.
The wedding started on time, the bride and groom walked on the red carpet, and with the blessing of the priest, the two exchanged rings, and everyone gave a standing ovation.
From beginning to end, Shang Zhijian, as a father, did not appear, and Shang Zhicheng had to participate on his behalf.
After that, because there were many guests, it was divided into two places, and Shang Zhicheng and Shang Zhijian were entertained separately.
By this time, there was nothing left to do, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw the bridesmaids and groomsmen grabbing the bouquets together.
He took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and just went to touch the lighter, he heard a voice behind him: "Do you smoke a lot?"
Yu Xuan turned her head to look and found that it was a girl in her twenties, wearing a white gauze dress, long hair with loose hair, long braids on sideburns, and a bright smile.
"Uh, occasionally!"
Yu Xuan recognized him as one of his cousin's bridesmaids, but couldn't name him.
"It's better to smoke less, it's not good for your health!" she said.
Yu Xuan thought for a moment and put the cigarette back: "You're right!"
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, a little playful: "My name is Ye Qingmo, hello Mr. Shang!"
"You know me?" Yu Xuan was surprised.
"Of course, Mr. Shang is very famous in China, and even in France, there are often news reports that you are a business wizard!"
"Honor!" Yu Xuan smiled humbly.
Ye Qingmo tilted her head to look at him, her eyes were bright and thorough, and she suddenly asked, "You really don't remember me?"
"Uh, we've met before?"
"Forget it!"
Qing Mo waved his hand and skipped it directly.
After chatting, Yu Xuan learned that she was of French-Chinese descent, and like the Shang branch, her ancestors migrated to France and then settled.
It's just that unlike the Shang family's business, the Ye family chose to engage in politics, and the highest Zeng official was promoted to a political official, and he was awarded the title of viscount.
After a hundred years of development, the Ye family has now been successfully promoted to the French aristocracy and has great influence within the government.
Ye Qingmo, as the pearl of the Ye family, has been pampered since she was a child, and her innocent personality was taken out of the family by Yu Xuan in three or two sentences.
"I'm studying fine arts, and I'm studying at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, and when I have time, I'll paint a portrait of Mr. Shang!" she gestured with her hand.
Yu Xuan smiled: "Then I'll thank Miss Ye first!"
As they were talking, there was a sudden confusion on the other side of the banquet, and shouts could be heard from far away.
"My daughter is married, and I don't even have the qualifications to speak, so what should I raise her for?"
"In the presidential election, everyone is biased towards Shang Zhicheng, where can I compare to him?"
"Separation...... I'm going to break up!"
Yu Xuan frowned, listening to this voice, it seemed to be his cousin Shang Zhijian.
The shouting quickly died down, and Hirohiro ran out to reassure the guests, looking embarrassed.
Yu Xuan pulled him aside and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Uncle was drunk and said a bunch of crazy things, and now he is being dragged away by my dad!"
"Where's my uncle?"
"Grandpa was so angry that he almost fainted, and he had already called the doctor!"
"I'll take a look!"
Yu Xuan walked quickly towards the backyard, Qing Mo thought about it and followed.
The hall was full of people, the family doctor was helping Shang Chengdong to do an examination, Shang Zhicheng next to him looked angry, Shang Mengshu blamed herself and was aggrieved, crying with red eyes.
"Uncle!"
Yu Xuan walked over quickly, squatted beside him and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's an old problem!" Shang Chengdong's face turned pale.
Qing Mo looked at everyone, the Ye family and the Shang family were world friends, and everyone didn't treat her as an outsider.
She walked up to Shang Mengshu and whispered comfort.
Yu Xuan looked at the doctor: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"Shang Lao is just emotional, it's not a big deal, just take a rest!" the doctor replied.
Yu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked Shang Zhicheng, "Isn't Uncle entertaining guests, how can he get drunk?"
