Chen Mingyuan and Mu Jiayin's wedding banquet was held at the famous 'Bai Mansion' in Zhonghai.

This is an extraordinary off-white western-style building, located in the poetic Fenyang Road in the western district of the sea, the appearance is very eye-catching, the decoration style has a strong cultural taste, because of the 40s of the last century **** senior general Bai Chongxi, Bai Xianyong father and son lived and famous in China, known as the 'White Mansion', because the exterior wall of the building and the marble spiral staircase straight up to the balcony on the second floor are white, so it is also called the 'White House'.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was successively used as the site of the Chinese Painting Academy and the Yue Theater.

The former residence of the general in the past is still a gathering of celebrities today.

Today, this garden mansion has become a restaurant with a strong cultural flavor of classic Huaiyang cuisine.

The White Mansion is not very large, the retro box, solemn sù mu, at this time it sets off a festive mood, the Chinese lights are shining, the fluffy and shining, two red giant candles more than two meters high stand on both sides of the wedding table, setting off a thick wedding banquet background, vivid pilasters, crystal clear champagne towers, and the nine red peonies in full bloom on the wall, all of which create a strong festive atmosphere.

Several girls from the song and dance troupe played ancient music such as guzheng and pipa on the wedding stage, alternating with zither and flute, and silk and bamboo were melodious.

In terms of guests, because the Chen and Mu families were reluctant to do it too grandly, in addition to the immediate family members of the two families, they also invited their old friends in the political and military circles, but these people, each of them is not a powerful and powerful big man, although there are some political officials in power or busy with official business, or in order to avoid suspicion and failed to come to the scene in person, but they have appointed representatives to congratulate them, and even the leaders of the older generation, such as Qu Lao and Xiao Lao, also sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

On weekdays, although in the treacherous political circle, it is inevitable that there will be reservations and scruples in communicating with each other, but today, for the great joy of the two newcomers, everyone tacitly gathers together, even Cen Ruiwen, who has been in the political whirlpool recently, also left his troubles behind and talked and laughed with everyone.

"Mayor Chen, congratulations! The eldest grandson is married, and he can finally enjoy his life in peace! ”

"Your grandson is really extraordinary, he was able to marry the daughter of the Mu family, but he is glorious!"

"Recently, I heard that I just mentioned the deputy hall, I am not yet 30 years old, and the future is limitless!"

In the banquet hall, the old man and the old lady were smiling and greeting the old friends with the support of Chen Guoliang and other children.

There was an endless stream of greetings, of course, there were a few people called "Lao Chen", all of whom were old men of the same generation.

After greeting for a while, the people of the Mu family also arrived one after another, surrounded by Mu Lunyin, Mu Dingyin, Dong Zhenying and others, Mrs. Mu came slowly in a wheelchair.

The atmosphere of the audience was stagnant, the old lady of the Mu family has basically never appeared in public since the body was injured in the Great Revolution, it is said that she has been eating fasting and chanting Buddha at home, and closing the door to thank guests, that is, the old man of Xiao Lao's level can still see each other occasionally.

Old Man Chen's expression was awe-inspiring, and he immediately staggered up with a cane, came to the wheelchair, leaned down, and said sincerely: "It's really hard for you." ”

Considering Mrs. Mu's inconvenience, the Chen family didn't have much hope for the old man's arrival, but today, for the sake of her youngest daughter's marriage, she rushed to the scene at the expense of travel, and at the same time expressed her recognition of the Chen family.

Old Lady Mu's old face squeezed out a little smile, and said slowly: "As long as the children are happy, this is nothing." ”

Old Man Chen sighed, and hurriedly asked Chen Guoliang and others to arrange people to sit in person.

Due to the differences between Chen Mingyuan and Mu Jiayin in their respective family generations, during the wedding banquet, everyone tried to avoid the title of seniority. As for the seats, they are also arranged according to the seniority of the family, so as not to be embarrassed by the communication between the seats.

When it comes to seating, everyone seems to be sitting at random, but if you look closely, you can still find three obvious circles: the leaders of the older generation of political leaders, although they have all retired, are still influential, which belongs to the first circle; Several powerful relatives of Chen Mu's two families, including Cen Ruiwen, this is the second circle; The third circle belongs to the younger generation, and they don't pay much attention to the circle and strength, which really makes the eldest young master Mu Tianyu unhappy.

I think he is a brother and brother to Chen Mingyuan on weekdays, but when he got married, he had to squeeze together with a group of little children, but look at his cousin Mu Tianfeng sitting next to him calmly, his heart is more or less balanced.

In fact, such an arrangement will not wronged him, you must know that Mu Jiayin married into the Chen family, not only Zhang Zili, Chen Mingke and other brothers, but even middle school students like Xia Doudou, the seniority will ride on his head!

As for the protagonist, Chen Mingyuan is dressed in a black dress, Yushu is in the wind, extraordinary, and he is greeting and responding at the table.

In fact, according to etiquette, many people present today, as long as they send blessings, will not really stay to eat and drink, but at this time, no one is in a hurry to leave, everyone is sitting inside chatting at the same time, still listening carefully to the movement outside.

Obviously, with the status and influence of the Chen Mu family in the Chinese political arena, no matter how much they want to hold this wedding banquet in a low-key manner, it is difficult to keep a low profile, these people are sitting here, waiting for a more important figure to appear.

The people had not been sitting in it for a long time, and then they heard a movement outside, and then someone came in and said, "Some of the chiefs have come."

Everyone stood up and walked out together, but the order was orderly, and this was what everyone was waiting for.

Walking out of the house, there were already two rows of men in black suits and sunglasses standing on both sides of the steps, and two Hongqi cars were parked at the door.

Chen Guoliang and Cen Ruiwen hurriedly ran down the steps and opened the doors of the two Hongqi sedans respectively.

A person dressed in a Mao suit got out of the car in front of him, and he bowed his hand to the top to congratulate him, it was none other than Comrade He Xiangdong, the former general secretary of Huaxia.

And in the back car is the current first vice president/chairman of the country Zong Kaitai!

These two, which can be described as the world-famous Chinese leaders, suddenly came, causing many people to secretly speak, since the change, He Xiangdong rarely appeared in public, no one would have thought that he would attend this wedding.

Cen Ruiwen and Chen Guoliang opened the road left and right, He Xiangdong and Zong Kaitai slowly walked up the steps side by side, waving to colleagues and friends on the table from time to time, and when they walked to the door, He Xiangdong held the old man's hand with both hands and said with a smile: "Teacher, congratulations." The respect between the demeanors can be seen.

The old man didn't say anything, just patted the back of He Xiangdong's hand with his hand on crutches, this tacit understanding of being a teacher and a friend has long surpassed most friendships in the world.

Zong Kaitai also stepped forward in a timely manner to send congratulations, he should be the 'most unexpected' guest tonight, not to mention that he is holding the power of a country and busy with official business, now, the relationship between him and the Chen family is also quite delicate, this time he is willing to accompany He Xiangdong to come in person, what is the hidden meaning?

"I'm here today to ask for a cup of wine to drink, and I don't talk about business." Zong Kaitai looked around and asked, "Where is today's main master?" ”

Chen Guoliang hurriedly beckoned to Chen Mingyuan, who was standing behind the crowd, and said, "Mingyuan, come up and thank you Grandpa He and Grandpa Zong." ”

Chen Mingyuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and said respectfully: "Grandpa He, Grandpa Zong, you two are good."

He Xiangdong looked very pleased, and said to Zong Kaitai with one side of his face: "Look at it, I remember that Guodong was like this back then!" Okay, the Chen family has a queen! ”

Zong Kaitai smiled.

After greeting the other older generations, everyone returned to the banquet hall, where the old man sat with He Xiangdong, Zong Kaitai, Old Lady Mu and others, and there were plainclothes guards from the Security Bureau in the middle.

After chatting for a while, we had to cut to the chase, the marriage ceremony officially kicked off, and after some prevarication, Zong Kaitai finally served as the witness.

The wedding began to be held, when Mu Jiayin, who was dressed in red, appeared on the stage, there were exclamations in the field, Chen Mingyuan was even more shaken, he had never seen Mu Jiayin such a gorgeous dress, a gorgeous and dazzling red dress, traditional and fashionable, long hair coiled high, green silk like clouds, beautiful and dignified.

It is as beautiful as the Qiong Yao fairy in the painting, dressed in a gorgeous red dress, just like a white and arrogant snow lotus, entangled by the red glow, like a dream, captivating the country and the city, bringing people an unforgettable shock.

The two stood side by side in front of the master of ceremonies, and Zong Kaitai read out the marriage testimony, and when it was announced that Chen Mingyuan and Mu Jiayin were officially married, there were warm applause and blessings in the venue.

Looking at each other, at that moment, Chen Mingyuan captured the happiness and satisfaction that were so rich that they almost couldn't be dissolved, as well as the crystal bright tears, from Mu Jiayin's bright eyes hidden behind the tulle, at this moment, he suddenly deeply felt the meaning of marriage, it is solemn and solemn, unforgettable, and it is a lifelong commitment!

This life is broad, and the son is said; Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son; Forever as a couple!

Next, Chen Mingyuan and Mu Jiayin toasted and thanked the guests one by one.

He Xiangdong's table was full of old comrades, and most of them had been banned by their respective health care doctors, so it was naturally impossible to drink more, Chen Mingyuan simply toasted three glasses in a row, and the old comrades smiled.

He Xiangdong waved his hand, and the secretary immediately stepped forward to present a piece of pen and ink, and pulled it out, with four big characters in italics: a match made in heaven!

"I wrote it myself, with a little heart, don't dislike the two young people of the new era." He Xiangdong half-jokingly caused everyone to laugh in unison.

"Courtesy is light, affection is heavy." Mu Jiayin had no stage fright, and smiled generously: "Our new home is lacking such pen and ink calligraphy and painting, and I will inlay it and hang it in the hall when I turn around, and it will be the treasure of the town." ”

Mrs. Mu glared at her and muttered, 'It's not big, it's not small', but the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but rise, overflowing with pampering.

According to the previous plan, most of the people planned to leave after the marriage ceremony, but seeing that He Xiangdong and Zong Kaitai were still sitting there talking and laughing, no one could leave.

However, this was 'painful' to Chen Mingyuan, no one got up to leave, so he had to toast from table to table.

Those elders are okay, they are all high-powered figures, and they won't compete with the junior characters. But the continuous drinking still made Chen Mingyuan bitter.

When it was the turn of the younger generation at the table, Chen Mingyuan was already drunk, and subconsciously, only Mu Tianyu's crazy dancing noise and his own mechanical program were clinking glasses......
