New Year's Day 2003 is destined to be an extraordinary day.

On this day, the third son of the Hou family in the capital has been married to Hou Delai, who is the deputy secretary of the Daheng Municipal Party Committee ~ Ji, and the woman is Mu Sizhen, the daughter of the famous General Mou.

Ye Zhiran and Wang Jingyu arrived at Houjia together.

Before leaving, Wang Jingyu had already told Ye Zhiran that he was going to make trouble at the wedding, of course, there was no need to say how to make trouble, the more Ye Zhiran knew, the more unfavorable it would be for him, and he only said that he had already written to Daojun ~ to pass the anger.

Then, when asked if they were going to Houjia separately, Ye Zhiran said: "We rushed to the capital from Shao'an together, and we deliberately separated, but let them think that we have a tacit understanding, and it is better to go together in a bright and bright way." ”

The place where Hou Lao lived was a palace in the previous dynasty, after liberation was divided into several areas, the Hou family was originally divided in a small courtyard, five or six years ago only took advantage of the defeat of the next door after the clever seizure, the two courtyards were opened, forming a grand pattern today.

At this time, the courtyard was full of huge "Xi" characters, and Hou Delai and Mu Sizhen stood at the door of the main hall in wedding dresses to greet the guests.

Hou Delai is not ugly, with a Chinese character face, sharp edges and corners, although he can't be compared with Ye Zhiran, but he also has a bit of appearance.

Mu Sizhen won't talk about her, she already has a face that is suitable for disgust and joy, coupled with a weak body, white skin is better than snow, and after wearing a wedding dress, she looks even more indescribably endearing.

Ye Zhiran was depressed.

"Ye Shu ~ Ji, sister-in-law, have you arrived? Hurry inside please. Hou Delai took half a step forward and said happily.

Ye Zhiran pretended to smile and arched his hand: "Congratulations." ”

Wang Jingyu kept a straight face and didn't speak.

Hou Delai, who is in good spirits on happy occasions, generously introduced Wang Jingyu to Mu Sizhen: "Sizhen, this is sister-in-law Wang Jingyu, sister-in-law is now the mayor of Shao'an City, Yangtze River Province. ”

Mu Sizhen was a little surprised at this time, called "sister-in-law", raised his eyes to look at Wang Jingyu, and didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Wang Jingyu's attitude towards her is not bad, Ye Zhiran also talked to her last time, he only knew about Hou Deni in Shao'an when he met Mu Sizhen, it can be seen that this Mu Sizhen and Ye Zhiran are very familiar with each other.

She smiled at her.

Mu Sizhen, who was dressed in bridal makeup, turned to Ye Zhiran with some expectation, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said, "Ye Shu~ Ji, I am very happy that you can come." "There is a special color in the eyes.

Through the hollow tulle gloves, when Ye Zhiran held her weak little hand, Mu Sizhen scratched his fingers in the palm of his hand.

Ye Zhiran, who was in a frustrated mood, didn't dare to behave abnormally in front of Hou Delai, stabilized his emotions, and said, "Congratulations." ”

Hou Delai asked: "Sizhen, you and Ye Shu~ should be very familiar, right?" Your industries in Watergate County, Shao'an City, and Lifeng City were all founded during the reign of Ye Shu~Ji. ”

Mu Sizhen was slightly moved, Hou Delai had made such a detailed investigation of her? She said as a matter of course: "That is, I have a friendship with Ye Shu~ for nearly ten years, and the relationship is much deeper than yours." ”

Hou Delai immediately felt like eating a sour grape, but after thinking about it, if Mu Si could really say this to his face, wouldn't it seem to be above board and unfeeling? It's just that in front of her identity as a secretary of the municipal party committee of a prefecture-level city~Ji, her posture is a little low.

He is also a person who can let go, laughed, and said: "Ye Shu~ Ji, then we are our own people, let's go inside to rest first, and I will toast you and your sister-in-law later." ”

People came in the courtyard one after another, and there were men scattered in all corners in twos and threes, probably plainclothes guards and the like.

Invitations were checked at every door.

Ye Zhiran and Wang Jingyu entered the hall, and no one in the waiting family greeted Wang Jingyu. Ye Zhiran calculated the time, she has been working in Yangtze River Province for more than ten years, and she has not returned to Houjia for about ten years, so there is no place for this sister-in-law in Houjia's heart.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, so it seems that Wang Jingyu and others will have a full reason.

The Hou family vacated a courtyard in the courtyard dedicated to entertaining guests, including a hall and two small halls.

At this moment, dozens of people had gathered in the hall, Ye Zhiran and Wang Jingyu walked into the hall, signed their names on the guest book, and some service staff had already come up attentively to guide him and Wang Jingyu to take their seats.

It stands to reason that the person who can enter the Hou family's house is either rich or expensive, and a department-level cadre like Ye Zhiran is not qualified to sit in a small hall, and as for the back hall, which is about the place where Hou Lao receives important guests, he can only look at the guards standing at the door from a distance.

To his slight surprise, he was placed in a small hall. This is closer to the back hall, and it is in the middle of Wang Jingyu's arms.

After sitting down, Ye Zhiran looked at the list of guests on the table, Wang Jingyu was not arranged at this table, and he was not familiar with the names of several other people, so he hesitated and asked, "You are sitting here?" ”

Anyway, Wang Jingyu and Hou Deshen are husband and wife in law, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hou family has no reason to squeeze together with him.

Wang Jingyu didn't, and said with a bow: "I don't want to see the people waiting for the family, so I make do with it first, and I don't know when I will leave." ”

The number of guests in the small hall gradually increased, and three people soon came to this table, who were familiar with each other, and came in with a smile, and saw that Ye Zhiran and Wang Jingyu were already sitting at this table and introduced each other. Ye Zhiran's introduction was very simple, he reported his name, and then said that he came from Shao'an City, Yangtze River Province. The three of them suddenly lacked interest, said a few perfunctory words, and talked about the affairs of the capital by themselves.

In the atmosphere of high-ranking officials all over the capital, Ye Zhiran still has self-knowledge, and he knows that his weight can't hold down the scales, so he is very calm.

Counting them on their fingers, if the leaders of the Central Committee and the State Council all came, they would not be able to accommodate every inch of land in the huge Hou Mansion. Not only does this country have the largest population, but it also has the highest proportion of leading cadres in the world. Looking at these men who are not messy with their hairstyles and can still talk and laugh in the small hall of the waiting family, they are either the children of the family who are upright and young, or the leaders of the ministries and commissions who are out of the rising period, and they are used to seeing the big leaders who will stomp on the capital and the earthquake, and local cadres like Ye Zhiran can't get into their noble eyes.

The Central Committee of the Communist Youth League ~ Records of the Office ~ Sima Zhan was also arranged in this small hall, and seeing him walking in slowly, Ye Zhiran hurriedly stood up and met him.

"Ye Shu ~ Ji, are you here too?" Sima Shu ~ Ji was very happy, came over and shook his hand, and asked, "Where are you arranged?" ”

Ye Zhiran pointed to a table next to him, and introduced Wang Jingyu to him by the way: "Sima Shu~Ji, I'll sit at this table and introduce to you, this is Wang Jingyu, the mayor of Shao'an City." ”

The relationship between the cadres of the regiment and the Hou family was not harmonious, so he nodded and said, "You and I can share a table, they are all your own people over there." ”

Naturally, one's own people are people who are politically aligned.

Wang Jingyu saw that Ye Zhiran was a little hesitant, and said with a smile: "Ye Shu~Ji, you sit at the table of Sima Shu~Ji, and I will sit in your place, so that the number of people at our table is just right." ”

Wang Jingyu sat in this position, her eyes were facing the door of the back hall, and she could observe the movement, and she was reluctant to leave.

The rest of the people at the same table saw that Sima Shu ~ Ji and Ye Zhiran in the center of the group were so familiar with each other, but they regretted that they had snubbed him too much before, and they had already heard Ye Zhiran introduce Wang Jingyu to Sima Shu ~ Ji.

Mayor of Shao'an? So Ye Zhiran is probably the secretary of the municipal party committee ~ record? It's just a department-level cadre, and officials who have not reached the provincial and ministerial level are usually not in the sight of the people in the capital, but Sima Shu~Ji is so enthusiastic about him, is there anything else? In other words, Ye Zhiran and the Wang Jingyu in front of him are also people with family backgrounds.

One of them tactfully inquired to Wang Jingyu: "Mayor Wang, you are very familiar with Sima Shu~ Ji?" ”

"Well, it's not familiar."

"Then what is your relationship with the Hou family?"

Wang Jing's words were amazing: "I am Hou Sanqiang's eldest daughter-in-law. ”

Surprised.

The three of them glanced at each other, forgiving the little mayor of Shao'an City, who did not dare to be mad enough to make such a joke. The man cautiously asked again, "Then how did you sit down at this table?" The relatives of the waiting family are in another small hall. ”

"Well, I don't deal with the Hou family, I don't bother to sit with them, my eyes are dirty."

Another surprise!

This eldest daughter-in-law is a rebellious character of the Hou family? This one? But he couldn't get too close, and he was hated by his family for no reason, and the person who asked the question involuntarily shrank his body, and seemed to be a little farther away from Wang Jingyu.

Wang Jingyu drank tea calmly, not caring about the attitude of the other people, and said in his heart, looking at the way these people are babbling, Shizhi is keen to spread gossip, and when there will be something that makes them stunned, it is okay, they can let more people know that they and the Hou family have broken off.

There were more and more guests, and after a while, their table was already full of people, and when they introduced each other, Wang Jingyu still said in a very low-key manner that he was a cadre in Shao'an City, Yangtze River Province, and the rest of the people didn't care at all, only the three people who arrived first looked at Wang Jingyu from time to time, and saw that she was sitting indifferently drinking tea, and she was a little entangled in her heart, and she didn't know what attitude to take.

After a while, Hou Delai and Mu Sizhen, who were standing at the door to greet them, returned to the hall, and walked through the small hall to the back hall.

Mu Sizhen has a good appearance, and his posture is the kind that can best seduce men's reverie, and the wedding dress dragged to the ground and walked gracefully, which suddenly became a hot topic.

"Hou Delai, this kid is so blessed!"

"Yes, I actually married such a stunner after two marriages."

This is the language that only gentlemen use.

"Look at it, only a character like Hou Shu ~ Ji is worthy of the daughter of the Mu family."

"It's a perfect match!"

This is the tone of a sanctimonious person.

Wang Jingyu had been carefully observing the guests passing through the small hall, and saw that at this time, two groups of people had entered the back hall and came out of the back hall, all of whom were shaking the ground.

After about five minutes, I saw two high-ranking officials from 60 miles away passing by with an elderly man in his seventies and eighties, and the people at the same table all showed respectful eyes.

Wang Jingyu recalled that it was the character Lu Daojun was talking about, she took a sip of tea, stood up and walked to the back hall. rs！。
