Chapter 8 Wedding (2) Word Revision
The two maids, one on the left and one on the right, from behind Qu Ning, held the long tail wing of the wedding dress.
Seven-inch silver high heels were on his feet, making Qu Ning look more and more elegant and slender.
Although it was the first time in her life to wear high heels, she had regained the feeling of her previous life in just a few steps, slowly walking out of the locker room and stepping on the long red carpet, walking steadily with every step.
The groom, who had also changed his clothes, had taken off his uniform, and was wearing a tuxedo and tie stood straight on the other side of the red carpet waiting for her, although his face was thinly veiled, Qu Ning still felt that the man's gaze fell on her face almost unobstructed, penetrating the thin fabric, and his eyes were burning as if he wanted to burn the skin she was watching.
But when she finally raised her eyes, she was just facing a pair of mellow eyes that seemed to be bottomless, those eyes were as quiet as a deep pool, and they reflected her appearance intently, as if only she was reflected.
At that moment, the hustle and bustle of the surroundings, the music of the wedding march, and even the eyes of the blonde and blue-eyed guests on the guest seat, the whispering of each other, and the clicking sound of the magnesium lights on the spectator seat all seemed to have become the background, and only their glued eyes were the eternity of time.
The man who stretched out his hand to her over there, wearing a formal tuxedo, tie and leather shoes, was more handsome than she had ever seen in newspaper photos, a black suit seemed to hide his anger and blood courage that had been forged by ten years of battlefield career, and at this moment, it seemed that the handsome and gentle man was almost not much different from the gentlemen she had seen in her previous life - at this moment when they looked at each other, time seemed to be staggered, through a hundred years of time and space, making it impossible to distinguish between illusion and reality.
This is a wedding that even in Qu Ning's previous life, he will be envied by countless women.
This groom, standing in front of the altar, with a handsome face and a tall figure, can almost be called Lang Yan's unique, the world's best groom, and no matter what woman, I am afraid that I will fall in love with at first sight. Even though he knew the meaning behind this wedding, the true meaning of the white wedding dress, and even the political tendencies he wanted to express in his suit and tie, Qu Ning still felt that it was difficult for his eyes to really take his eyes off his face.
The corners of the groom's lips bent invisibly, Qu Ning seemed to be confused by his smile for no reason, and he was firmly held by the hand as if the ghost had sent him to follow his will, and the two held hands hand in hand, standing in front of the altar with an extremely intimate attitude, and turned their heads together to Jesus, who was nailed high on the cross but looked at the world compassionately, and the priest who looked at the couple with a smile on his face. This wedding is a witness in front of God, but it is not only God who looks at them, but more importantly, the guests who are mixed with Chinese and Western at a glance, but mainly Westerners - envoys and their wives from various countries, big businessmen and some foreign guests with knighthoods, as well as classmates and friends of the groom when he studied abroad.
Qu Ning lowered her eyes, and her heart calmed down with the fading music. When she finally calmed down, she felt the constant warmth and faint wetness of the hand she was holding, and the man's fingertips were also oozing with a slight sweat - it seemed that this man was not as calm and indifferent as he seemed on the surface.
This is good. She said to herself. At least, I'm not the only one who is nervous.
The priest watched as they stood still, and the guests, who had been talking to each other at one time, dressed in Western-style evening dresses or long gowns, were distinct from each other, did not speak the same language, and did not communicate with each other. He cleared his throat, reached out and took the rings that had been given to him by the little flower girl, and handed them to the newcomers, smiling as they put rings on each other's ring fingers.
Then the blonde priest picked up the Bible offered on the altar and began to take the vow.
The pastor's opening remarks were slightly longer than those Qu Ning had heard in his previous life, but they also seemed to be more sincere.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to attend the wedding of Mr. Tang Zhong and Miss Qu Ning. Marriage is the sublimation of aiqing and mutual trust. It requires not only lifelong love between the two parties, but also lifelong mutual trust. Today, Tang Zhong and Qu Ning will solemnly announce to everyone their commitment to each other's aiqing and trust. β
The priest turned to the two of them, took away a kind smile, and said solemnly: "Tang Zhong and Qu Ning, now please announce your wish to marry to those present. β
After a pause, he turned to the groom: "Tang Zhong, whether you are willing to marry Qu Ning as your wife, whether you are willing to be in good times or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sorrowful, you will love her unreservedly and be loyal to her forever." β
Tang Shaoshuai did not hesitate, and his tone was heavy: "I am willing." β
The priest's brown eyes turned to the bride: "Qu Ning, are you willing to marry Tang Zhong as his wife, are you willing to love him unreservedly and be loyal to him forever, whether it is good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sorrowful."
Unreserved love, eternal loyalty.
If you make a vow, can you do it?
The most untrustworthy thing in this world is the oath, and the easiest thing to tear up is the promise. What's more, the man he wants to marry is not only a soldier, but also an ambitious politician. In this era of turmoil and war, people's hearts are fickle and the world is unpredictable.
How long can this vow last?
Although, in her status hereafter, whether or not she must swear here, she must and must be loyal to this man.
So she is the only one who is really bound by the oath.
How unfair, and how ridiculous.
The corners of Qu Ning's lips were slightly hooked with a little sneer, and her voice faded: "I am willing." β
"Then now, I declare that Tang Zhong and Qu Ning have become husband and wife. Now, the bride and groom can kiss each other. β
Qu Ning lowered his eyes and waited quietly for this contract kiss.
Tang Zhong slowly reached over, slowly lifted the peach-shaped hollow veil on her face, and looked deeply at his delicate and beautiful bride in front of him: she was very beautiful, and she was unexpectedly suitable for this white veil.
The white wedding dress was picked by him himself, and he personally directed people to make it later.
But the moment he really saw the wedding dress on her body, and she slowly walked towards him, he felt that this wedding dress was worn by her.
He didn't expect that this outfit would feel so good on her.
Maybe after today, when those photos are published in the newspapers, she will start to lead the trend of this era.
He was glad that she had chosen this oneβnot because of the political considerations that had preceded it, but because of the beauty that caught her eye and indulged him at this moment.
He knew that she was a clever woman who made his heart move, but he could hear that during the wedding speech, she was still distracted and absent-minded.
When she said the words "I do", she was sincere, but not sincere.
What is marriage to her? What is he to her? Tang Zhong suddenly felt that he was not satisfied.
He wanted more. Even the sad expression of her angry denunciation that day seemed to be real to the smile on her face now.
Facing her slightly drooping eyes, Tang Zhong frowned slightly.
Qu Ning's heart was beating fast, he gradually got closer, his eyes fixed on her face, and then got closer and closer, seeing her nervous heartbeat, but the man was very bad, and he didn't kiss her immediately when she was waiting for a nervous mood.
At the moment when the two of them breathed and smelled each other, Tang Shaoshuai suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered: "If I don't live up to my god one day, I won't live up to you one day." β
Unexpectedly, he suddenly added such a sentence, Qu Ning was stunned, and only then did he raise his eyes and look at him in a daze, the two of them looked at each other, and saw the complexity in her eyes, Tang Zhong reached out at this time and gently supported the back of her head, and his lips touched her lips lightly.
As soon as her lips touched, Qu Ning's blank mind slowly regained her senses, she looked at the man who had taken away her first kiss in this life, and her complexion returned to calm and cold in an instant, in a complex and unspeakable and unclear mind, she heard herself involuntarily whisper to him and added: "Then, one day I will not live up to my country, and one day I will not live up to you." "This is my promise back to you.
Hearing her oath, Tang finally looked at her in surprise, and when he saw the stubborn focus and refusal to admit defeat in her eyes, he suddenly laughed and nodded.
Sure enough, it was unexpected, he personally agreed to marry the bride back home.
This is the real vow they really give to each other, exchanged with each other.
***
After the Western-style wedding, there was also a Chinese-style wedding held in the Tang family's mansion.
After a long toss, the sunset had already set, and Qu Ning, who had been busy preparing since midnight the day before, almost felt that he was going to be tossed apart by these red tape.
Fortunately, there was Tang Shaoshuai's evil spirit, no one dared to come to the cave room, she was surrounded into the new house with a stop in decoration, this day's busyness was finally coming to an end, and she was able to take a breath.
Fortunately, there should only be such a marriage once in this life.
Lifelong trust, hope not to be disappointed.
Being helped to sit down on the edge of the bed, Qu Ning looked at the festive red, but suddenly felt his heart pounding in his chest.
Tonight is the night of candles in the cave room.
Their cave room is spent on candles...... What kind of performance will that man be?
Just thinking about his unpredictable eyes, Qu Ning couldn't stop blushing and heartbeat, and a hot flush faintly appeared on his cheeks.
Even if the man is not here now, he still can't ignore his presence in this sea of red that seems to be full of masculinity.
Qu Ning patted his cheek lightly and ordered himself to settle down.
Although it is said that it is a Chinese-style wedding, in fact, at this time, compared to decades ago, the wedding ceremony has been greatly simplified.
Therefore, Chinese weddings are roughly the same as worshipping in the hall, toasting, and sending them to the cave room.
At this time, Tang Shaoshuai was still greeting guests outside, and in the new house, he could faintly hear the noisy voices from the front yard.
It is estimated that there will be a period of time before he really comes back to the "cave room", so she can be alone, and it just so happens that she also needs to sort out her chaotic thoughts and cool down her brain that has been messed up by male hormones into a pot of porridge.
Qu Ning looked back on today's full day, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When she really got married, she found out that the shijie she imagined sitting in the palace was very different from what she found after she really got married.
It's like that the Tang Shaoshuai she described by herself is not the same as the real Tang Zhong.
But no matter what, since they are already married, life is lived by people, they have a good start for the time being, and what kind of life can be lived after that only depends on how she manages it.
She needs ...... Good haode think about it.
