Chapter 1: The Unfinished Rite of Marriage

In the 20th year of Guangxu, Japan took advantage of helping Korea to provoke the Sino-Japanese war, which was endless, and the Qing government was completely defeated, ceded land and paid reparations, and was humiliated.

On a beautiful isolated island on the shore of the smoky market, there lived a family of people who had fought with the Qing government for many years, and who had endured hardships and hardships, and who were now tired of war and determined to live a life free from the world.

At this moment, no one in the world of cigarettes outside will notice that on this beautiful island, the wedding is being prepared with joy, which is the wedding of Minghao and Weiyi.

"Put some flowers here, Minghao likes Western-style weddings, don't hang red cloth here, it's too old, and this, this, this ......" Mrs. Mo was busy dotting the wedding scene.

"Only this girl is going there, she will get married in two days, and she doesn't know where to run, and she hasn't tried the dress yet!" General Mo blamed with doting in his tone.

"Ming Hao took Weiyi to play early in the morning, and we were the only ones left!" said Mrs. Mo with a smile, unable to hide her joy.

General Mo smiled and shook his head, "These kids!"

On the other side of the island, Ming Hao and Wei Yi sat on a large green grass and looked at the sea, and a brand-new British official ship was moored on the seaside, the ship was small but looked magnificent, and the handrails on the deck were swept with a piece of gold paint, which looked particularly eye-catching. The bow of the ship is also golden, a different color from the hull, and it looks like it is very imposing, and the ship stands tall sail pole with the English inscription: Made in England.

"Minghao, everything is too happy, is it true, I'm afraid I'm dreaming!"

Ming Hao pinched Weiyi's nose and said with a smile: "Little fool!"

"It hurts!" Wei Yi was coquettish, in fact, it didn't hurt at all, how could Ming Hao be willing to hurt Wei Yi.

"It hurts, it's not dreaming, I want you to be the happiest bride in the world, and I will love you for the rest of my life!" Minghao hugged Weiyi tightly, eager to put her in his heart.

Weiyi buried her head in Minghao's shoulder, enjoying the sweet happiness of bitterness.

"Minghao, what's the name of this island?" asked Yuiyi.

"Well, I don't know, it's actually a desert island, I saw it in HNA and I've always wanted to take you to play, or you can name it. Ming Hao said.

Wei Yi smiled and said: "It is in my heart, this is our love nest in the future, we have to give it a name, otherwise our children will ask us where we live in the future, and we won't know?"

"Yes, let's give our island a name!" Minghao thought seriously.

"I wish our children and grandchildren would be able to live here in seclusion for generations to come!" said Weiyi, happily looking forward to the future.

"This is our love nest, let's call it Love Island!" Ming Hao announced.

"Okay, it's Love Island from now on. Wei Yi said, my heart is very satisfied, everything is like a dream happiness.

"Come!" Ming Hao took Weiyi's hand, and the two ran down the hill to the edge of the island.

"Where have you been?" asked Yui with a giggle of laughter.

"Get on the boat!" Ming Hao took Yuiyi's hand and jumped briskly to get on the boat.

The two stood in the middle of the boat, next to the thick sail pole.

The sea breeze blew "whirring", and the laughter of the two of them messed up their clothes and hair.

"Minghao, what are we going to do?" asked Wei Yi with a smile, his voice passing by in the wind.

Pretending to be mysterious, Ming Hao took out a folding knife from his pocket and began to engrave the words "Made in England" on the sail underneath.

Wei Yi looked at the words engraved by Ming Hao seriously, and read them word by word, "Love-Love-Island" After about 5 minutes, Ming Hao finished, and Wei Yi's heart was full of sweetness.

……

At dusk, the island is quiet, with the sound of seagulls and waves crashing against the island's edge and beautiful music. This is the paradise of General Mo's family, away from the hustle and bustle of the world outside, away from the world full of killings outside.

It was getting late, Ming Hao took Weiyi's hand and walked home, in the center of the island, there are a group of luxurious buildings ready to be completed, the center is a courtyard, it is estimated that 100 people can live here, next to a high hall, a bit like a Western-style church, it was a new thing in China at that time, imitating the architecture of foreigners, even if it is a building that is rarely seen in Shanghai and Beijing, there is actually a building on this island. This hall was built under the guidance of Ming Hao, who said that he wanted to give Wei Yi a happy wedding and make her the happiest bride, so he built this church.

Minghao and Weiyi passed through the center of the courtyard, and in the middle was a flower pond, and the flower pond was planted with the most flowers on the island, which was the big water lotus.

Such a huge project was built after they came to this island.

General Mo brought his family's gardener and his subordinates, who had lived and died with him for many years, to settle down on the island. Some of his subordinates came to this island with their wives and children, and they were willing to listen to General Mo's dispatch and live a self-sufficient life on the island.

"You two are finally back, just ......take care of playing" Mrs. Mo came out of the main house, took Weiyi's hand, smiled and reproached, "Just know to play, hungry, I asked Sister-in-law Lin to cook immediately, but I don't know when you will come back, so you haven't cooked yet......"

Wei Yi looked at Ming Hao and stuck out his tongue mischievously.

General Mo heard the voice coming out of the study, Wei Yi and Ming Hao looked at General Mo's face, although they were not too serious, they were still in a hurry to say hello.

"I'm back, now that I have time, let's take a picture and release it on your wedding day, and try to see if the clothes fit by the way!" General Mo said.

"Okay, I like to take pictures the most!" Wei Yi immediately rushed into his room.

Mrs. Mo followed behind and said, "Your clothes are here, this girl, she looks reckless, how can she be a wife in the future!"

"That's why I'm going to live with my mother after I get married!" said Yui in the room.

General Mo said to Steward Deng beside him, "Go and call Ge Sheng over!" Steward Deng immediately nodded and went to pass the word.

Ge Sheng was a college student studying in Japan, an intellectual in the army, and after returning to China after completing his studies, he participated in General Mo's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and solved many technical problems for the army.

General Mo patted Ming Hao on the shoulder and motioned for him to change his clothes as well.

In the main room, General Mo, Mrs. Mo, Ming Hao, and Wei Yi all changed into dresses, all in preparation for marriage.

Ge Sheng adjusted the camera in the room, and Steward Deng was busy holding the camera's bracket to align it.

"Oh, just like getting married today, everyone is eye-catching, beautiful, beautiful......" Ge Sheng said with a smile as he watched everyone walk out one by one.

Mrs. Mo was busy helping Wei Yi sort out her clothes, and General Mo had already sat down to take pictures.

"In the future, when it is your turn to get married, Mrs. Mo will help you prepare!" Mrs. Mo said kindly, in fact, General Mo and Mrs. Mo treated their subordinate comrades-in-arms as if they were their own family.

"How can I be so blessed!" said Ge Sheng with a smile, a little shyly.

Mrs. Mo immediately walked over and said, "I think Zheng Laozi's daughter is very good, she is smart and beautiful......

"Madam, don't say it, Ge Sheng's face is red, talk about this slowly!" General Mo said.

"That's it, Mrs. Mo, how can people look up to me! Okay, if everyone is ready, you can start!" Ge Sheng cleared his throat and said, in everyone's hearts, Ge Sheng is a shy and hot-blooded young man.

General Mo, Mrs. Mo, sat on a stool in the center, with Ming Hao and Wei Yi standing behind her.

Everything is ready to go.

"Ready, one, two, three, eggplant!" said Ge Sheng, burying his head in the blackout cloth of the camera.

The happy moments are forever preserved with the blink of a flash.

The day finally arrived, a fantastic wedding, full of long-awaited happiness, and they went through one thrilling ordeal after another, creating a vigorous love.

The empty mine in Love Island is full of flowers, and the large water lotus flowers are calmly emerging from the sludge of the flower pond, and a patch of red roses is sprinkled on the path between the flowers, turning into a thick and wide old brick wall aisle, and the soft and bright red silk is hung in clusters under the ceiling.

Although they are family members who live together, they still retain the traditional sense of greeting relatives, and early in the morning, Minghao dressed up neatly and came to the main house with a mighty welcoming team with extraordinary bearing.

It was the most festive and joyous thing the island had ever seen, with steward Deng busily setting off firecrackers, the band playing joyful music, the children running happily, and the women busily going in and out, busy with the food to be delivered to everyone tonight.

Today, everyone is here to have fun.

In the future, they have to live like this every day, and everyone's heart is full of sweetness and longing.

A couple of newlyweds put on a red dress, Ming Hao held Weiyi's hand tightly, and ran side by side on the love road, and the people around them scattered flower petals to them, and walked into the gorgeous palace in the love island in praise and blessings.

The hall is beautifully decorated with a combination of Chinese and Western designs, and Wei Yi likes it very much, all of which is like a dream.

"Thank you, Minghao!" said Yui with emotion when she saw everything in the hall.

"Fool, as long as you are happy, I am willing to do anything for you!" Ming Hao said with a smile.

A pair of bright red lanterns accompanied them through the printed red carpet, and the festive items on the table were waiting for this moment.

"Thank you, let me know you, thank you, let me fall in love with you, thank you, become my wife, I will tie the knot with you and write the most beautiful love legend in the world-" Ming Hao held Weiyi's hand, facing face, took the ring from his pocket and put it on Weiyi's ring finger.

Everyone cast their blessings to the couple, their eyes were full of good wishes, and they really wished that time could stop at this happy moment.

It was a gunshot that broke this beautiful vow of love.

"There are a lot of Japanese people outside, with guns ......," Steward Deng shouted outside the hall.

"Prepare for battle, protect the children and women!" General Mo reacted in a hurry and gave an order.

The group immediately dispersed and went to prepare cautiously for the battle, because on this day, no one brought a gun to the ceremony.

This sudden attack took the entire island by surprise.

The courtyard and the hall made a loud noise, and all at once, everything exploded.

Yui and Minghao's dream wedding has since become a yellowed picture.

A piercing piece of music sounded in Er Qing's ears:

The time is too short

The dream gift is not yet complete

Just for a moment

Everything is ruthlessly cut off by time

It's too late to hug you

I can't catch the feeling of love

Can't keep your body temperature

The past has been ruthlessly sealed

My body will be frozen for you from now on

The feelings are too deep

My heart is overwhelmed

The thousands of you in my heart

It has long been dissolved with my body

Guarding you, guarding your immortal soul

Waiting for you, waiting for you to come back again

Loving you, loving you to the next life

I would like to guard the body of Ice Jade for you

The soul travels through the afterlife that loves you

……

With this sad and desolate song, those old colors seem to be colored again.

In 2014, in the era of the integration of technology and fashion, people were busy shuttling through high-rise buildings.

Er Qing is the daughter of Huaxia Group, she likes to read books and listen to music, and she is full of a mysterious classical grace.

Er Qing stood up, walked to the old player, took out the film she had just listened to, and felt an indescribable sadness in her heart, which was Er Qing's favorite music, because she always felt that it was a poignant love story.

Er Qing looked at his watch and wondered if his Wenzhe was coming back from a business trip.

Wen Zhe, Er Qing's fiancé, is the crown prince of a jade family, and in order to take over the family business, he often goes out to pick jade and increase his knowledge.
