Chapter One Hundred and Eight
The third day of the third month of the tenth year of the Republic of China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
My sister got married.
When I wrote these words in my diary, the four-cornered relationship that had been haunting my heart for half a year officially ended. What these words mean to me is something I think my family members who have spent more time with me will understand.
My mother didn't want me to go to the wedding, and as a mother, she knew what it was like for me to see my sister marry my beloved's father. That was a girl's initial yearning for love, and it was also ...... The last despair.
The wedding between my sister and Gu Rulin is not easy for me to be a memorial service, a memorial service for love.
In the morning, the Gu family's wedding car drove to the gate of the Liu family in Jiangning Fang, the new-style wedding, there was no rule that the elders were not allowed to marry in the past, so when the sister walked out of the house with Gu Rulin in a wedding dress, the relatives of the Liu family also followed the band and drove to Ningyuan.
On this day, the peach blossoms on Cuifeng Mountain are the same as in the past.
My sister wore a dress made of red Hangzhou silk, and Mr. Gu shuttled between the banquets of everyone. She was already Gu Rulin's rightful wife, and they exchanged vows and rings in the presence of the priest, and brought the rings symbolizing each other's identities to each other's hands.
I stood behind everyone in a plain cheongsam, like an incompatible intruder, at that moment, looking at the smiles and applause of the guests in the audience, I really wanted to be impulsive and shouted that everything stopped, but unfortunately, until my sister slowly pushed the last bit of the ring to the bottom of Gu Rulin's ring finger, my voice was still motionless and did not make a sound.
No one cared about an intruder who was out of place, just as the guests were all dressed in festive costumes.
Standing in the peach blossom Ning Garden, the air seems to be contaminated with the aroma and taste of peach blossoms.
The wedding banquet in the morning has passed, and although it is a family wedding, because the protagonist of the marriage is the Minister of Education, who is currently the hottest political scene, many newspaper reporters still came to interview and report.
Although the marriage notice of Gu Rulin and his sister has long been published in major newspapers, people seem to be more willing to listen to what Minister Gu, the protagonist of the protagonist, has to say.
"Mr. Gu, your marriage to Miss Liu has been rumored for a long time, and now that your dream has come true, do you have anything to say?" The reporter of the "Daily News" asked.
"Mr. Gu, it was rumored that the eldest young master of your family had a relationship with the second miss of the Liu family in the previous paragraph, what do you say about this?" Another tabloid focused on peachy news asked.
"Mr. Gu, you took over as Minister of Education at the end of the ninth year of the Republic of China, and you threatened that the government would work on education reform and encourage girls to go to school. Now that your wife is a well-educated lady from a scholarly family, and she also studied at the Shanghai Chinese and Western Girls' School, does this mean that your reform is in full swing and the education sector is expected to usher in the spring of reform? ”
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, your eldest son disappeared mysteriously three months ago, and has not been accounted for so far, before he disappeared, you announced at the birthday banquet that you and Director Fei's family were married to their children, is this relationship still counted? Why haven't you given an official explanation for a long time? Whether the eldest prince Gu is temporarily missing or has long since died, please give us a reasonable explanation of the facts. ”
"Mr. Gu, we heard ......"
Everyone asked questions, like a hot pot that suddenly exploded, and there was a big mess for a while, Gu Rulin's secretary saw this, and hurriedly stopped him: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet." Today is a good day for our husband and wife, and if there are any questions, as long as they are sincere and sincere, our husband will answer them one by one. However, if there are deliberate slanderers, self-critics, sorry, Mr. has the right to remain silent, and those with ulterior motives are invited to do their own thing. A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and a villain has the heart of a subordinate. Thank you, sir, in advance. After the interview, Ningyuan has a special lounge for you to take a rest and wait for the dinner in the afternoon. Next, please come one by one. The reporter of "Ta Kung Pao" please. ”
As he spoke, he bowed to the crowd.
"Mr. Gu, first of all, congratulations on your new marriage. I'm a reporter for Ta Kung Pao, and we all know that you have always been reluctant to take over the post of Minister of Education. What made you accept the offer last winter? ”
Gu Rulin thought for a moment and slowly spoke, he listened to a lot of questions from everyone just now, some people really wanted to ask him what he thought, and some people deliberately did it with a difficult intention, he didn't know the hidden secret, but he didn't seem to care, as if he hadn't heard it at all, with a just right smile: "As the saying goes, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people." All of you have listened to your high-minded talk Gu in your heart and remembered it in your heart. Rulin is grateful for everyone's care and attention to my family, today is a good day for me and my wife, and it has always been the principle of caring for someone not to talk about official business in front of the family. As for the question raised by this "Ta Kung Pao" reporter, Ru Lin wants to say that ten years is not enough for an era, and now, the Republic of China has just entered its tenth year. What's more, Mr. Liang Qichao once said that my China today is all in my youth. Education is the top priority in the life of the whole people of a country, and as a citizen of the Republic of China, Gu has the responsibility to devote my life's learning to the country's education. All of you here have this responsibility, so I think my answer is self-evident. ”
As soon as his words fell, there was a round of applause in the audience, and even more so, he stood up directly from his seat, pointed to the reporter of "Ta Kung Pao" and said: "Mr. Gu is so righteous, take a picture quickly."
"yes, you're taking pictures."
Whiskers abound.
Immediately afterwards, another reporter asked: "Mr. Gu, please forgive us for wanting to leave this question to Mrs. Zun, I wonder if we are lucky enough to hear Mrs. Gu's opinion on today's family wedding?"
Gu Rulin smiled generously, took his sister's hand, and said kindly: "Of course, my wife has a good Chinese and Western education, which is also one of the reasons why the two of us are in love. Madame, just say a few words. ”
My sister nodded, and her gestures revealed the dignity of everyone's ladies: "First of all, thank you for your attention to me and Rulin, I have always wanted to say a word of thanks, and today I just took this opportunity to say it together, it is my blessing and luck to be able to marry him."
"We heard that you and the eldest young master of the Gu family are in a relationship of senior sister and brother, from senior sister to mother, what do you think of the transformation of this relationship?" The reporter just now continued to ask.
"I'll answer that."
Just when everyone was waiting for their sister and Gu Rulin to react, a low male voice outside the venue suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked back and saw Gu Shaoqing, who had disappeared for more than three months, coming slowly from outside the door without knowing when (to be continued. )
