Chapter 322: Rongrong Wedding Banquet Kills Machine
Getting married is the most significant life journey for everyone, but Chen Mu can't be happy at all.
But even so, knowing that it was fake, it was still inevitable that there was a little excitement, after all, this was the first time in life.
Prussian and Baptiste still came, and they came to congratulate Tan Zhonglin together, and they all came, and even many people who had never met before came to hear the news.
Although the wedding card had already been sent out, except for some key figures, everything else was handled by Lin Sheng, Yang Zhaochun and others, and Chen Mu didn't bother at all.
He is full of expectations for the wedding, not because of the marriage, but after getting married, he will be able to explain the secret of the whole thing to Honglian.
He was like a puppet, with a slight smirk on his face, greeting the endless stream of guests, and what he didn't expect was that Yu Wanting also came!
Old man Gan pulled Chen Mu aside and complained.
"Boy, you're really unkind!"
"If you say that you are married to Honglian, it doesn't matter, that girl is much more beautiful than my granddaughter, and I can't say anything about the old man, but the eldest lady of the Song family is not as good as my family's evening court, do you fancy their family's money?"
"It's really a fall, I lost my money at a young age......"
Chen Mu couldn't cry or laugh, and he couldn't explain anything, but he said perfunctorily: "I was already with Miss Song...... I already knew Zhenshu first, how to say it, there is no way to reason with such a thing as fate......"
Before Old Man Gan could argue, Yu Wanting had already walked over and said generously to Chen Mu: "This is too sudden, prepare some small gifts, don't dislike it......"
Although she pretended to be calm, Chen Mu could still feel the sourness in her words, but the more she explained this kind of thing, the more entangled it became, it was better to pretend not to know.
"I'm glad that you're here, class master, please come in and sit down."
Yu Wanting was still thinking about saying something, but it could be seen that Chen Mu, the groom's official dress, had his lips moving for a long time, but in the end he just nodded and dragged the old man Gan in.
Old man Gan was still muttering something, and Chen Mu could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Wang Julou, Li Sanjiang and others came over early to help, and Huang Feihong also brought Liang Kuan, Huang Hansen and others to congratulate.
Tan Zhonglin also sent a piece of writing, and even Yu Deshou made people seal the gift, which can be described as a sensation in the city.
After returning from the kiss, Song Zhengzhun was much more nervous than Chen Mu, after all, most of the ceremony was going on, and it looked like the banquet was about to start, but the new governor of Liangguang, Duan Fang, was still not present, which made him lose face.
It's just that Chen Mu's attention is not on Song Zhengzhun, because he is always a little restless.
"Why are you still here, is there too much time?" Chen Mu couldn't help but ask.
Most of the wedding has been carried out, but Yang Zhaochun and the others have all stayed in the hall, shouldn't they mobilize personnel to attack the four mansions in Guangzhou?
Yang Zhaochun still replied in the same way: "Duan Fang has not yet arrived, this person is cunning, he has not appeared, we can't act rashly, besides, Guangzhou General Qingchang has not arrived ......"
Hearing such an answer, Chen Mu didn't think much about it.
Although the official authority is not small, Qingchang still came in the end, but Xu was worried about arousing public anger, and he didn't dare to travel with too much pomp and honor guards, and he traveled in civilian clothes, which was regarded as a private identity.
Rao is like this, Qingchang's arrival is still amazing.
The wedding of such a young man as Chen Mu actually worked on the Guangzhou general Qingchang, the former governor Tan Zhonglin, and the apostolic superintendent Prussia Town on the foreigners' side, and even the bigwigs and giants from all walks of life.
Although there is also the influence of the Song family in it, in any case, this wedding is unique enough to be passed on.
Seeing that the ceremony was about to end, Yang Zhaochun and the others had not left, and Duan Fang had not come, Chen Mu felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Could it be that the news has leaked?" Chen Mu inevitably asked Song Zhenshu in a low voice.
Although he was wearing a red hijab, Song Zhenshu still replied in a low voice: "No, if the news leaked, Duan Fang would have brought someone to arrest him a long time ago, so why wait until now......"
"He is a new official, and the shelf will always be full, and so on will definitely come." Song Zhenshu's voice trembled a little, which showed that she was also very nervous.
As soon as these words fell, the master of ceremonies really dragged out his voice and shouted: "Your guest has arrived!" ”
"It's the new Governor Duanfang!" The guests were in a commotion.
Duanfang is not the same as Qingchang, when the French invaded the city of Guangzhou, he had not yet taken office, and the people's anger could not be involved in his head.
As Song Zhenshu said, when the new official takes office, this official must be held high, and he actually relies on the opening of the way, and he thinks he is going out to inspect the place!
However, such a high specification gave the Song family and Chen Mu enough face, but Song Zhengzhun was a little unhappy.
Because Chen Mu and others didn't know that Song Zhengzhun also wanted to get the support of the end side, otherwise the construction of the arsenal would be blocked.
Of course, there are interests involved, and if you don't divide the benefits of the end party, it is impossible to get his protection, and it is because of this that it is not surprising that the end side is so swaggering to eat the banquet today.
What's more, Duanfang's life experience is amazing, and this shelf is also a matter of course.
He was a native of Manchuria, and his great-grandfather was the Admiral of the Nine Gates of Prince Zheng, who had been succeeded as his uncle Gui Qing as his heir as a child, and Gui Qing was the teacher of the Tongzhi Emperor.
Rao is like this, Duan Fang did not receive the grace of the illustrious family, but passed the serious imperial examination and achieved his own fame.
He was originally a reformer, but after the failure of the reform, he was not punished, but made a great contribution in the process of escorting Lafayette.
Later, he ran schools everywhere, and everywhere he went, he would inevitably open dozens of new-style schools, and also sent many batches of students to study at sea.
With all these achievements, it is not surprising that he can have the status he has today.
"You're finally here!" Song Zhengzhun hurriedly greeted him, Duan Fang was still holding a horse whip, but he just asked someone to send a small box and said to Song Zhengzhun.
"Brother Song, the foolish brother is busy with official business, and he came here after he dispersed, I hope to forgive me, the little meaning is not respectful, please smile."
Although he looked arrogant, it was already commendable to be able to call Song Zhengzhun a brother.
Chen Mu took a look, there were two whiskers on this end, high cheekbones, fleshless cheeks, but a pair of eyes were not angry and arrogant.
Xu felt Chen Mu's eyes, Duan Fang also glanced at Chen Mu, and then walked over.
"This is Brother Song's fast son-in-law, right? is really a good-looking talent, and he started a family at such a young age, which can be regarded as a young man's pride. ”
Song Zhengzhun hurriedly became humble, and Chen Mu also said to Duan Fang: "The handsome man is praised, the kid doesn't dare to be it." ”
"Of course you don't dare to be!" Duan Fang's face was a little serious, and his eyes stared at Chen Mu like a blade.
Chen Mu saw the horsewhip in his hand, and he was also chuckled in his heart, could it be that he had already noticed it?
Song Zhenshu also subconsciously held Chen Mu's hand, and Chen Mu could clearly feel that her hand was trembling slightly!
At this time, Duan Fang spoke.
"Your Chen family is not a famous family, but this official heard that Miss Song is as beautiful as a flower, and she can't be a treasure, you kid can be regarded as climbing a high branch and picking up a treasure! Hahaha! ”
Chen Mu heard him joke like this, and his heart could be regarded as landing, and he smiled awkwardly at Duanfang: "Yes, what the big handsome said is true, but ...... But the kid isn't too bad......"
Duan Fang was slightly stunned, then laughed, and said to Song Zhengzhun: "Not bad, the courage is commendable, but the young man is still calm and serious, with Brother Song's family, he will live in peace in the future, and he will not worry about anything." ”
There is a gun and a stick in these words, which is nothing more than a hint that Chen Mu must be honest in the future and can no longer lead the community to stir up the wind and rain, it seems that Song Zhengzhun should have promised to Duanfang.
Hengzhi came to this point, Chen Mu knew how to act, and immediately replied obediently to Duanfang: "Yes, the handsome man taught it well, and the kid remembered it." ”
Saying this, Duan Fang also nodded.
"Okay, the son can be taught, and the official is also relieved."
Song Zhengzhun heard this, worried that Duan Fang would teach Chen Mu a lesson again, and said to Duan Fang: "The big handsome man is just going to drink a glass of water and wine, please join the chief!" ”
Duan Fang nodded, and followed Song Zhengzhun in, and only then did he glance at Lin Sheng.
Although Lin Sheng is also a little famous, he is not enough to see in front of the Song family, let alone in front of the governor, it is even less worth mentioning.
After all, he was the governor, and Song Zhengzhun was also prepared early, and put the banquet in the inner courtyard, and Tan Zhonglin and Prussian were also present.
Seeing Tan Zhonglin, Duan Fang was also a little surprised.
"I didn't expect Lord Tan to be here, how did I hear that Lord Tan couldn't come out behind closed doors?"
Tan Zhonglin is a conservative, and he doesn't deal with Duan Fang very well, but it's all in the past.
Now that he has stepped down, Duanfang is in the limelight, there is no comparison, and there is no conflict of interest, so he smiled and said: "Although Chen Mu is young, he is open-minded and steady, and he and I are also friends. ”
Duan Fang smiled and said, "To get such high praise from Lord Tan, it seems that Brother Song is the one who has picked up the treasure......"
Song Zhengzhun also accompanied him, sat down, and everyone dared to sit down.
Chen Mu accompanied him with a glass of wine, but seeing that Yang Zhaochun and the others still hadn't left, he was also very surprised, so he found a spare time and walked out.
"Mr. Yang, why haven't you seen any movement?"
Yang Zhaochun looked at Chen Mu, then at the end of the inner courtyard, and then at the door, his face became solemn.
"Chen Mu, the plan has changed, let's take a risk......"
Hearing this, Chen Mu's heart was also tight, and when he saw Yang Zhaochun's eyes full of murderous intentions, a bold conjecture came to his heart!
"You...... You guys...... Is it ......?"
Yang Zhaochun's eyes turned cold, and he nodded slightly, which can be regarded as an acknowledgement.
Chen Mu was also shocked, this is a wedding banquet, if they really let them come, I am afraid it will become a funeral banquet!
