The wedding chapel sits on the edge of the town, a Gothic building painted in a thick creamy white that juts sharply into the blue sky.

Every brick and stone of the church exudes sacredness and luxury, with ancient bells, devotional kagura, and white doves roaming freely through the sky.

The zenith towering into the clouds seemed to penetrate the sky to get a glimpse of the mysteries of heaven; The majestic corridor of the palace stretches to the far end, and all you can see are dazzling enamel painted window lattices and lifelike marble reliefs, like Rodin's hand, like Michel's soul, like Leonardo da Vinci's aura, like Raphael's free and easy.

The façade of the church is flanked by tall minarets, with solemn crosses at the tops and countless intricately carved minarets cascading on top of each other. But see every towering little exquisite minaret, beautiful lines, gorgeous ceilings light and elegant. More strokes are indispensable, less strokes are missing, but the softness can exude an immeasurable power. I am afraid that it is difficult to use such a general word as "masterpiece" to commend such an atmospheric architectural scene.

Walking up the stone steps in front of the door and turning into the interior of the church, it is as if you have stepped into an ancient temple. I saw that this cathedral is made of polished marble, and the carvings inside and outside look like a masterpiece of art. The tall stone pillars inside the church are proud, and the high sky dome seems to be connected to the heavens, making people's senses both illusion and reality.

On both sides of the church are colorful window paintings depicting biblical stories and several European versions of the zodiac. The sunlight is hidden outside the glass windows, making each glass pattern colorful.

In the temple, candlelight flickered, and chants burst out, for the believers to pray and repent to the God in their hearts; The loud organ music reverberates in the hall for a long time, bringing people in it to the dreams of the Middle Ages, into a deep and far-reaching artistic conception.

This is the wedding venue specially selected by Qiao Jian, if it is according to the requirements of the older generation, it is naturally the most reasonable to marry in the traditional chapel style, although Liu Yuner is a soldier, she is not a soldier after all, and Qiao Jian is a man, and it is normal for everything to be arranged by Qiao Jian.

The reason why Qiao Jian chose here is to show his power and background, in his mind, he believes that girls nowadays are all material, and the old-fashioned way of marriage is likely to not satisfy their aesthetics, of course, this is also according to the people Qiao Jian came into contact with, he is drunk every day, and naturally the more luxurious, the better.

Fortunately, Liu Yun'er's father is mixed in the political circles, and he appreciates such a novel church wedding, the two of them have a good appetite, one old and one young coincide, and the rest of the Liu family naturally does not care about these details, anyway, they are here to cheer when they come, they can't even drink the wedding wine, and they have to return to the army immediately after the end, and the wedding is just a formality in their opinion.

This wedding was presided over by Liu Yun'er's grandfather Liu Qingshan, and all the people who entered the church became unusually quiet, not daring to disturb the commander-level head of the Liu family.

Whether the people of the Liu family are soldiers or not, they are all wearing formal clothes at this time, not military uniforms, after all, this is a requirement within the army and the etiquette requirements of the church.

There are specialized

People are in charge of greeting outside the church, and the old housekeeper who delivered the letter to Ai Qing last time is with Liu Zejun, and his status in the Liu family is the same as Liu Zejun, because he has been following Liu Qingshan since he was young, and he has no children and no daughters in his life, so he stayed in the Liu family.

As an outsider, he also felt that Liu Zejun had done a good job and did not think about it, no matter what Liu Yuner said, she was also his daughter, at least she had to obtain the consent of the parties, he reflected this matter to Liu Qingshan, and the reply was "Young man, you can toss as much as you like." ”

What Liu Qingshan hates most now is the trivial matters of his juniors, because he had a very unpleasant experience before, leaving a psychological shadow, people are old, more things are better than less things, and he was also begged by Liu Zejun to come.

Relaxed music is playing in the church, the old clock is constantly swinging, the hour hand is between 11 and 12, the minute hand is moving closer to 12, and the relatives of both sides are already seated below.

Liu Zejun sat in the first row in a suit, next to him was Qiao Jian's father, that is, Qiao Wenye, the current chairman of Qiao's Group, who was also in a suit and leather shoes at this time, and the two were smiling, especially Qiao Wenye, who was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, but he was not happy because his son married a wife, but because he was about to get the most powerful backstage.

Liu Yun'er's grandfather Liu Qingshan was wearing a Mao suit and sat not far from the first row, and the people sitting with him were all soldiers of the older generation, they seemed relatively calm, and occasionally chatted a few words, which also had nothing to do with the wedding.

The two relatives in the back, the people of the Liu family are sitting in danger, and they are not very interested in such things as weddings, if it weren't for Liu Qingshan also coming, they would prefer to stay with their comrades in the army.

The relatives of the Qiao family are more scattered, because these people are not relatives at all, most of them are partners of the Qiao family, they came for two purposes, one is to give Qiao Wenye face and cooperate in the future, and the other is to witness the important moment when the Qiao family ascends to the sky.

A grand wedding does not have a festive taste, and some of it is the sour smell of money power, and it has become a large trading market.

"Yun'er, be happy, Mom has always been by your side. Liu Yun'er's mother Duan Shuling stood by Liu Yun'er's side, curling her hair for the last time for her daughter who was about to get married, and such a thing would be handed over to Liu Yun'er's lover in the future, but with such a wedding, how could her life after marriage be as she wished?

Duan Shuling's status at home is stronger than Liu Yun'er, a typical husband and godson type, and she has little say in front of Liu Zejun.

Liu Yun'er can still understand her mother, and said with a slight smile: "Mom, you don't have to worry about me, I can bear all this myself." ”

Duan Shuling took out a small box from her pocket, which contained a small ring, which was transparent emerald green, it did not have the luxury of gold, nor the sparkle of diamonds, but it was this small ring that carried the blessings of several generations.

"Yun'er, this is what your grandmother gave me when I got married, I don't want to pass on my daughter, I wear it to marry my beloved

, you will be happy in this life. Duan Shuling took out the ring with two fingers and put it in Liu Yun'er's palm.

"Mom, did you wear it when you married my dad at the time?" Liu Yun'er stared at the ring, and when it came to her beloved, her mind was full of Ai Qing's figure.

Duan Shuling didn't expect Liu Yun'er to ask like this, her eyes were a little fluttering, and she said with a little sadness: "Of course I wear it, your father is my favorite person, but he has changed a lot over the years." ”

She suddenly realized that she had lost her temper, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Come on, Yun'er, Mom will help you put it on." ”

The ring was held by Duan Shuling in her hand, and she just wanted to put her on Liu Yun'er's finger, but Liu Yun'er's body trembled, took two steps back, looked at the ring with a little horror, and finally murmured: "No, I can't wear it, I don't need such happiness." ”

Duan Shuling was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Liu Yun'er meant, so she didn't force it anymore, put the ring in the box and held it in the palm of her hand, what if Liu Yun'er changed her mind later?

"Yun'er, your dad is coming to pick you up soon, be happy, smile, it's my mother who can't let you get the happiness you want, I knew this, I shouldn't have given birth to you and suffered like this......" Duan Shuling said, tears welled up in her eyes, she was a person from the past, how could she not understand the pain that Liu Yun'er endured in such a family.

Liu Yun'er gently wiped away her mother's tears and said softly: "Mom, I'm living a good life, at least I already have someone I love, and I gave everything to him, my life is complete, this ring will be kept here by you first, and I will pass it on to my daughter." ”

Duan Shuling originally wanted to enlighten her daughter, but she didn't think that Liu Yun'er thought more thoroughly than her, but now it's the other way around, Liu Yun'er hugged her mother and gave her a loving hug.

Time passed in a flash, less than ten minutes before twelve o'clock, Liu Zejun glanced at the clock, said hello to Qiao Wenye beside him, got up and walked to the interior of the church, the father handed over his daughter to the hands of the groom, this is an essential process, and it is just a process.

Liu Zejun pushed the door in, and in the room, Duan Shuling finally sorted out Liu Yun'er's outfit, and both of them had already put away the sadness just now.

"Are you ready?" asked Yanagisawa.

"It's almost there. Duan Shuling and Liu Yun'er looked at each other, saw the strength in her daughter's eyes, and couldn't help hugging her again.

Liu Zejun saw the two women grinding and grinding, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Hurry up, everyone is waiting outside!

The mother and daughter didn't speak, and Duan Shuling motioned for Liu Yun'er to go over to Liu Zejun.

Liu Yun'er smiled, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and then walked to Liu Zejun's side indifferently, stretched out her little hand, and coldly held Liu Zejun's big hand.

Liu Zejun ignored his wife in the house, and walked towards the outside of the church with Liu Yun'er, saying as he walked: "When the wedding is held, don't be cold-faced, Qiao Jian, this child is very good, you don't have anything to be dissatisfied, as long as you get married, you can."

I won't restrain you after that. ”

Liu Yun'er smiled bitterly and agreed, he could feel the temperature in his father's palm, which was no longer a kind warmth, but a dry heat for interests.

As the bell rang and twelve o'clock came, the priest with a young face, dressed in black and holding a heavy book in his hand, walked calmly to the front of the church, looking at the guests below.

"Please stand as a whole. The priest's voice was full of power, as if it were truly blessed by divine power.

The church was replaced with pre-prepared music, sacred music that purified the hearts of all those present, leaving behind the worldly and devoting themselves to it.

Qiao Jian stood in front of the priest in a groom's formal suit, waiting for Liu Zejun to hand over Liu Yun'er to him with his own hands, thinking of this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, once the two were together, no one would be able to stop him.

After the priest finished praying, the music was changed to the most classic wedding repertoire, and as the music sounded, at the door of the church, Liu Zejun took Liu Yun'er's hand, stepped on the soft red carpet, and walked towards the church step by step.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, Liu Yun'er was as noble and beautiful as a holy goddess, her beauty was amazing, even Qiao Jian was moved, he thought to himself that maybe this was not just a political marriage, to be able to marry a beautiful girl like Liu Yun'er, for a man, there is no shortage of beautiful things.
