Chapter 11 Pomp and circumstance
"The third child, you take a look, there is still something missing, this time your kid is caught in the marriage formation, and it looks like the founding ceremony, but you have to be suffocated, but your kid is stuck, Lao Tzu is tired enough, just thinking about writing an invitation to your kid, how many cells do you have to die!"
Xue Anyuan rubbed his eyes, leaning on the sofa with a stack of invitations more than a foot high, shaking his neck, he was really painful and happy at this moment. Originally, he really hoped that Xue Xiang's wedding would make some pomp, but he never expected that the final pomp would be so big, and such a core organ would take over a wedding, which really surprised him a little.
Xue Xiang stood up, walked behind Xue Anyuan, stretched out his hand on his shoulder, rubbed his mouth lightly, and said with a smile: "Uncle wants me to say that you just like to worry about the people's office, Director Ning said that you want you to help handle the invitation matters, it is nothing more than a kind word, it is to give our family a face, let you make a list of relatives and friends who you think you should invite, and then add them to the list of others as appropriate, and then you really think that this time I am married, I think it is clear that they took the opportunity to have a meeting!" ”
Hearing this, Xue Anyuan, who was being pressed by Xue Laosan and shook his head, snapped and threw a stack of wedding cards on the coffee table: "Okay, you third child, your kid has already figured out the reason, why didn't you tell Lao Tzu Ming, so that Lao Tzu almost didn't die on this." ”
As he spoke, Xue Anyuan reached out to grab Xue Laosan, but Xue Laosan easily avoided it.
Fleeing into the distance, Xue Laosan said with a smile: "What I said is just guessing, don't take it seriously, besides, let's get married for the second time, so they will borrow a donkey on the slope to make our wedding a venue." You said that we would sit together as a family and discuss which guests to invite. Isn't it just to create a wedding atmosphere? ”..
The first half of Xue Laosan's sentence is purely perfunctory, but the second half of the sentence is the truth, after all, it doesn't matter if it's a big or small household. Whose family got married was not a lively affair for several days, but when it was his turn to Xue Laosan, this marriage was given to Bao Yuan by the temporary wedding company.
The host's family, not to mention, has no power to study the banquet and set up the venue. Even with half of the power left in this treat, it is no wonder that Xue Laosan wants to nag a few words.
"Alright. You kid, don't just talk a little soup, you kid, this wedding has been handled by the Central Committee, but don't think that the organization wants to borrow your wedding to do a deal, Yunyun is just a coincidence, and more importantly, several major leaders think that it is really time to find an opportunity to get the old comrades together. Happy, plus your kid's exploits in Qin and Tang have not been paid, and the organization has always been concerned, so I gave you a big face. Don't get cheap, sell obediently, hurry up and help see who else missed for a while, that Director Ning should call again! ”
Xue Laosan, the head of the Xue family, knows more inside information than Xue Laosan.
Reward Qin and Tang for their merits?
Xue Laosan almost forgot that he had done such a thing, and he didn't know where to throw the "special merit" and "special hero" certificates he received from Old Man An at the beginning. At first, he purely thought that these were two pieces of waste paper that were made to fool him, and he had made such a big contribution, and it was difficult for Xue Laosan, a selfish guy, to believe that the organization would remember his merits, and at this time, he suddenly heard Xue Anyuan mention this matter, and Xue Laosan was impressed, and he even wondered if those few had thought about it at the beginning, and when he got married, he would get a pomp and show for himself.
But how big of a show will it be? Xue Laosan suddenly looked forward to it!
…………………………
At 7 o'clock in the evening of August 15, the wedding of Xue Xiang and Su Fengxue kicked off in Building 18 of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Speaking of this fishing y Taiwan State Guesthouse, people in later generations may not be unfamiliar with it, after all, at the beginning of the new century, the fishing y Taiwan State Guesthouse was open to the outside world for commercial use, but no matter how open it is, there are always some forbidden places that are not accessible to mortals, and this 18th building is the highest forbidden place!
In the spacious hall, the marble floor, the huge crystal chandelier is pink, obviously it is a temporary replacement, the eight gold-painted marble pilasters in the hall that four people hug together are also strung with bright red flowers, the brilliant hall is actually lit with red candles, two red candles several meters high are lit on both sides of the wedding, and eighteen red lanterns are hung high on the top of the main hall.
At this moment, for the first time, this hall, which only entertains heavyweight foreign heads of state, is decorated with a strong wedding atmosphere.
On the wedding stage paved with red carpet, the pillars of the eight snow-skinned General Political Art Troupes were scattered, each according to one side, drumming and playing the sheng, tuning the piano and flute, and the hall was full of melodious silk and bamboo for a while.
In the left hall, there are eight immortal tables of Nanmu, which are arranged vertically and vertically, and each seat is eight seats, which can accommodate a full four hundred people.
However, it is not time for dinner or wedding, and all the guests present are not in the left hall or the main hall, but in the spacious right hall, where they sit and drink tea, talk and laugh.
Indeed, Xue Laosan's wedding time was chosen too coincidentally, it was the year of the big change, and the party congress was imminent, and representatives from all parties had already gathered in Sijiu City!
Xue Laosan's wedding was held at this time, almost providing the most perfect platform for all parties in the game, coupled with the beginning of the reform, it has been nearly five years, the road is tortuous, but in general, the achievements are gratifying, the prospects can be expected, and during this period, the debate is non-stop, the contradictions are continuous, many old comrades have also made trouble, and this time Xue Laosan's wedding has become a ribbon, the parties are perfectly connected, there is an opportunity to meet, there is the possibility of dialogue.
And this is the Xue family's wedding, it is a time of celebration, and the strong festive atmosphere is the best factor to resolve grievances, and this wedding has a unique and unique meaning.
At half past seven, all the guests who should have arrived and who can arrive have basically arrived!
Looking around, but seeing the big guys gathering, the stars are shining, and more than 200 people here walk out casually, and one is a remarkable person.
Xue Laosan was called by Xue Anyuan to stand outside the right hall as a welcome doorman, after all, no matter how the Central Office of the Central Committee operated, no matter how different the significance of this party was, it was essentially Xue Laosan's wedding.
Since it was a wedding, Xue Laosan, the groom, had to greet guests in front of the door, and Su Fengxue, the bride, seemed to have other privileges, and was invited by the officials of the Planning Department of the General Political Art Troupe early.
Speaking of which, Xue Laosan thought that he had seen the world and opened his eyes, after all, he had seen a lot of the big chief, but today Xue Laosan knew what it meant to be crowned and gathered, and the big guys were like rain.
In the past half an hour, Xue Laosan met two old commanders, forty-six founding generals, in addition to a few members of the Standing Committee, the political situation was all to the fullest, Xue Xiang even met the wife of the former prime minister, the kind and kind old mother, and even more real, because of his advanced age, the old comrades who had been relegated to the second line for many years looked at the names that used to only shine with golden light in the history books, and turned into real people one by one, standing in front of you, patting your shoulders and touching your head, and exclaiming, "Good boy", "Great brother", how many people can not faint, at least Xue Laosan, who has the strong heart of the master of national arts, is a little unable to hold it.
Looking back under the bright lights, Xue Laosan really couldn't find the sense of reality, as if he was in a dream.
"Third child, you wait outside, no matter if there is anyone present, we can't be rude, I'll go in and entertain!"
Xue Anyuan patted Xue Xiang on the shoulder and spoke, and entered the right hall, but his steps were not allowed to be strict in the past.
Xue Xiang could see that the uncle was also very excited today, and he thought that although the Xue family was called the banner, it was not enough after all, and after today, the theory of the foundation became empty words.
"Congratulations, Brother Xue!"
Xue Laosan was looking at the royal garden under the moon, stunned, but a familiar voice came from behind him.
Xue Laosan didn't look back, and he knew who was coming: "Secretary Jiang is here, Peng Sheng is shining, Peng Sheng is shining!" ”
The person who came was Jiang Chaotian, and he came with Jiang's political situation. In detail, the standard of this wedding is very high, although the level is not specified, the central office has always been the most provocative! Take how to set up the candidates for the banquet, except for the retired fathers of the older generation, the provincial and ministerial level is almost an iron bar, and the military system only invites cadres above the level of the large military region.
Of course, the Central Office has drawn a line, but it can't ignore the feelings of the Xue family, in the final analysis, this banquet is to participate in the Xue family's wedding, Director Yi Ning also considered the list submitted by Xue Anyuan as appropriate, and talked with Xue Anyuan tactfully for a long time, and only then did the best friends who were not enough at the third or fifth level be admitted.
And since it is a wedding banquet, women and children, it is naturally difficult to decide, it is better to really hold a meeting, forget this, the Central Office naturally takes into account the number of people who are bound, of course, the seniority is very old, the high-level of the bunch of the Central Office will not commit this taboo, fortunately, the people who come know the number of etiquette, and they know the meaning of this wedding banquet, and it can be said that there are very few children with children, and there are very few people with their families, and this Jiang Gongzi is following his father.
But said that when Xue Xiang was transferred from Xiaoshan, Jiang Chaotian also changed from the county magistrate of Jiang to the secretary of Jiang. However, Xue Laosan never forgot to say a few words to this Jiang Gongzi, this is not a person, Jiang Gongzi just opened his words to say hello, and this guy's bad words blurted out.
"Blooming !!"
After listening to Xue Laosan's words, Jiang Gongzi almost didn't get here, if it was Peng, would there still be a mansion in the world?
