Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Wedding Ceremony

Now Xiurong City is very lively, a lot of rich businessmen and celebrities are gathered in Xiurong, because the famous Yaogang boss is going to get married, these people gather here to wait for the wedding to go to Yaogang conveniently. Also, it is a matter of fact that everyone is here before this wedding. Because it is rare in normal times, you can take this opportunity to gather here. At the same time, it is also a gathering place for all kinds of gossip. What makes these people talk about the most is why Zhang Zhimu wants to marry the mother of two children. This kind of thing can best exert people's imagination, and various versions of the story have also spread from here to all directions.

Lu Chengxiang spent a lot of effort for this wedding, he knew that Zhang Zhimu was not too interested in all this, but with the sensitivity of a businessman, he felt that this was definitely an opportunity to contact the gods of wealth from all walks of life. Therefore, he sent out a lot of invitations, even the prefect of Shanxi he sent an invitation, everyone in Shanxi has a head and face, and everything that can be sent has been sent. Those who don't have posts feel faceless, so they will try their best to pull relationships and find ways to get invitations. Once, my cousin asked Huang Yukun for ten invitations at once, and Huang Yukun told Zhang Zhimu about it, and Zhang Zhimu was happy and said, "It would be good if we sold invitations at the beginning." Huang Yukun bent down with a smile.

The wedding is finally about to start, for the needs of the ceremony, Huang Yukun, accompanied by his cousin the day before, first came to live in the courtyard of Xiurong Huwei Dart Bureau, the bride was going to pick it up from here, and the bride's dowry was also pulled to Xiurong. Zhang Zhimu said: "Oh, just pull a few things to do, what's the toss back and forth?" But Huang Yukun and his cousin firmly disagreed.

That night, Xiaoqing and Xiaohu were not with their mother for the first time. Zhang Zhimu coaxed them and said, "Tomorrow I will marry your mother back, and from today onwards, each of you will have your own room." Xiaoqing and Xiaohu were happy when they heard it. Xiaoqing asked, "Can we sleep in a new room today?" "It turned out that in the new building, the two children were arranged their own rooms, everything in the room had to be new, each room had their own desk, bed, chair and other utensils, all the teapots, cups, etc., all of which were brought back from Jingdezhen, and the wooden floor of the room was covered with Mongolian carpets. Xiaoqing and Xiaohu had long wanted to go into their own room and sleep, but Huang Yukun didn't let them and said to wait. In fact, when Huang Yukun wanted to get married, he was letting the children change their living environment. Seeing that the two children wanted to enter their rooms too much, Zhang Zhimu said: "Your mother is not at home, I have the final say, as long as you wash well today, you can go into the new room to sleep." The two children happily went to wash their faces and feet.

The only item that Zhang Zhimu insisted on at this wedding was that the bride's sedan chair should not be picked up, but should be picked up by a four-wheeled carriage. Lu Chengxiang asked people to choose a few big red horses, and tied big red flowers on the horses' heads, and the two four-wheeled carriages were also polished.

Before dawn in the morning, the team to pick up the bride set off, and when it came to Xiurong, the city gate had just opened, Zhang Zhimu personally gave the old gate army a red envelope, and the walnut pattern on the old door army's face smiled deeper, and hurriedly said: "Congratulations!" ”。

In this era, the rules for marriage are also set in one set, and Zhang Zhimu is very obedient today, so he can do whatever he wants. After a lot of tossing, finally the bride was ready to go. But Huang Yukun didn't expect that there was no sedan chair, and someone said in his ear, this is what Mr. Zhang has insisted on repeatedly, so you can get in the car. Huang Yukun had no choice, so he got into the carriage, and the carriage picked up the bride, which has also become a scene today. This has been passed on for a long time. Since then, many wealthy families have begun to use this red four-wheeled carriage to pick up the bride, and those who do not have a carriage must borrow the carriage, otherwise it will look faceless.

But at night, Huang Yukun asked Zhang Zhimu why he picked her up in a car instead of a sedan chair? Zhang Zhimu remembered that in his previous life, in film and television dramas, the sedan chair drivers made the bride bad, and said that he was afraid that those sedan chair men would make her bad and deliberately turn her upside down, so he didn't use the sedan chair. Many years later, Zhang Zhimu had a new saying, saying that you have already taken a sedan chair to get married, and this time you can't do it the same, so you use a car. The angry Huang Yukun pinched Zhang Zhimu fiercely.

The steel spring carriage pulling the wedding dress lined up in a long way, and the whole Xiurong City was like a festival. Zhang Zhimu felt that this was the best advertisement for the carriage. He didn't forget to remind Lu Chengxiang that if there are guests returning to Xiurong from Yaogang, try to use our car to send them, and if the four-wheeled car is not enough, use this steel spring carriage to send it. Lu Chengxiang understood and said Don't worry, when the wedding is over, we will have a surplus of customers. Zhang Zhimu said again: "After you go back, you go to Li Yunhe and paint those red and take out some pencils." When each guest leaves, they will be given two pencils in addition to the gift bag. Lu Chengxiang was happy and said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't forget to do business when you get married as a groom." Zhang Zhimu smiled and said, "Haha! I'm not delayed. ”

Zhang Zhimu went to Xiurong to pick up the bride. The kiln is also very lively. Chen Yufeng and others, who were busy with the reception, arranged five people to write congratulatory gifts, and people came in an endless stream, far exceeding the number of invitations sent, but fortunately, Lu Chengxiang was fully prepared and could cope with it.

Zhang Zhimu took back the bride, sent the bride to the house to rest, and came over to socialize with the guests, anyway, it was congratulations, and then there was the same joy, and countless people were introduced one by one, in fact, Zhang Zhimu's brain was numb at this time, and he couldn't remember one at all. But in the training of his previous life, Zhang Zhimu knew one thing, and at this time, he had to take a serious look at everyone and let the other party know that he remembered him. There is still no problem in dealing with the people of this era with this set. Everyone who has seen Zhang Zhimu can feel Zhang Zhimu's true feelings, and they all feel that this legendary kiln gang must remember themselves.

Zhang Zhimu's brain is wooden, but Lu Chengxiang's brain is getting busier and more sober, and he will go to say hello to every useful person. Zhang Zhimu's trick worked wonders this time. Every big and small cadre in the kiln gang has printed a beautiful business card. This is thanks to the villagers Lu Qi brought from the south, carved out the template for everyone, and used the unified logo of the kiln gang to color print. As soon as Lu Chengxiang's business card was handed over, those businessmen and celebrities who used to think they were good seemed to be very unpopular, and they felt that none of them showed their hands, and they looked very faceless on this occasion. At that time, many people were proud to know a few more cadres from the kiln gang, and the obvious sign was that there were many business cards in their hands, and the color of the business cards at all levels was different.

After this wedding, the whole Shanxi discussed for a long time, and later the habit of handing each other business cards also arose in the upper class. If you don't have a business card when you meet, it's a very undesirable thing.

People who came to Yaogang were interested in Zhang Zhimu's three-story cement building, especially the female guest door, who tried their best to come to the building to take a look, and were amazed by the decoration of the building. The terrazzo is covered with carpets, and it is very beautiful to set off each other.

These women who finished watching it, went back to talk about it, and those who didn't go into the building to see it felt even more unusual when they heard it.

The guests included people from all walks of life in Shanxi, and even the prefect of Taiyuan, the governor of Fenzhou, and the county of Xiurong sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

This time, Li Zhi didn't hand the business card to anyone, and Zhang Zhimu noticed that he and his people were mixed in the middle of the people who ran the hall to deliver food. Diligently memorize everyone they thought was important, and soon went back and wrote down something in pencil. It seems that Li Zhi is very suitable for his job. The people he trains look a little like him. His intelligence department, not counting the five or six domesticated pigeons, now there are more than a dozen in Yaogang, and there are four women in them, and among these four women is the wife of the third master of Wild Boar Ridge, she was originally a large family of Miss Qianjin, who was robbed to Wild Boar Ridge. After Zhang Zhimu led people to sweep the wild boar ridge, he didn't dare to go home, so he came to the kiln. Li Zhi knew her, knew that she was literate and hyphenated, and had some courage, so he asked her to come over. Now she has also quickly entered the role, and has been serving tea and pouring water in the crowd, familiar with these celebrities in Shanxi.

Later, Zhang Zhimu learned that he took this opportunity to record the faces and characteristics of these Shanxi celebrities, and Li Zhi said: "Their other preferences will be sorted out slowly later." I just don't know what any of these can do. Zhang Zhimu said: "The accumulation of intelligence work is also very important, this is to go through a process from quantity to quality, this time, at least you have trained the team, and they have performed well." Li Zhi said: "That is, we are slowly accumulating like this. But you said you were going to give us a lecture, but you haven't been able to do it. Zhang Zhimu said: "Wait until I'm ready." ”

When the master of ceremonies shouted, "The auspicious time has come." Then began a series of rituals such as worshipping heaven and earth, and then sent Huang Yukun into the cave room. The banquet began, and Zhang Zhimu deliberately put fish on every table. These Shanxi people, how can they fish at such a high-end banquet? Some people start eating as soon as they taste it, but many people don't touch a bite and don't want to watch others eat it.

During the banquet, Zhang Zhimu was a table of toasts, among the people who came this time, Zhang Zhimu was more interested in three people, one was a former eunuch in the palace, and he returned to his hometown to retire, and ordinary Shanxi people rarely can enter the palace as eunuchs. This time, Zhang Zhimu's kiln post was too famous, and the old eunuch Li Lianxi and Li Gonggong couldn't help but come to join in the fun. Gonggong Li saw that Zhang Zhimu came to toast, and said: "Zhang Yishi, you have made too much credit now, and you will definitely have the opportunity to enter the palace in the future, and if you don't understand the etiquette in the palace, you can come to me, if there is anything that needs to be dredged in the palace, you can also come to me, there are people in my palace." Zhang Zhimu hurriedly thanked him and said, "In the future, if there is something to do, it is indispensable to trouble Gonggong Li." And left a contact address. There is also an old general who returned to his hometown after illness, in fact, he was excluded, he heard that Zhang Zhimu led the people of the dart bureau and dared to fight hard to break into the thief army, and even sent food to Kaifeng in the army of ten thousand horses, and relieved the siege of Kaifeng. The old general must come and meet this legendary figure. As soon as they met, why couldn't the Ming army defeat the thief army, both of them suddenly felt that this was not the place to talk about it, so they made an appointment to have a chance to talk about it. The old general's surname is Yang, and his name is Yang Dingcheng. Another is a businessman, Sun Renyun, who has a copper mine and a lead mine, and Zhang Zhimu said, "You have two good deals. Who knew that Sun Renyun sighed and said: "My family came to me, it is the third generation to run this smelting business, and now I can't do it anymore, and earning a little money is not enough to give taxes to the government and the benefits of officials." Zhang Zhimu said: "When we have time, we will talk about business." ”

In the evening, the troupe performed a Hui opera "The Drunken Concubine". Zhang Zhimu asked Li Yunhe to separate the biogas into two ways, and the two biogas lamps specially separated illuminated the stage. Although many people in Shanxi couldn't understand the language on the stage, Xiao Hongyu's touching singing still touched everyone, especially the musical accompaniment of more than 30 people made the music magnificent, which made these people who had seen the world before also admired.

The well-prepared wedding greatly increased the prestige of the kiln people. Originally, the donation of rice by the people of Yaogang in Shanxi has made the entire Shanxi people grateful to the people of Yaogang. The people who attended the wedding this time said what they saw back, and the reputation of the Yaogang people was even worse.

Lu Chengxiang saw that everything was about the same, and said to Zhang Zhimu: "Don't worry about anything else." Rest early. Zhang Zhimu drank a little softly, so he staggered up to the third floor and entered the cave room.

Huang Yukun in the house had already taken off the hijab, and when he heard Zhang Zhimu's footsteps, he quickly put the hijab on again. As soon as Zhang Zhimu entered the room, his eyes were stunned for a while by the light of several big red candles before he got used to it. I saw that Huang Yukun's hijab hadn't been lifted yet. He checked all around, including under the bed, and closed the windows of the car. He was afraid that someone would come to make trouble. Before I came up, I had locked the downstairs door. This time, he locked the doors of the house again, and then came to Huang Yukun. At this time, Huang Yukun was angry, this Zhimu grinded and rubbed, and he never lifted his hijab, and he couldn't lift it. It can be regarded as Zhang Zhimu coming to the front, but he didn't do it in front of him. Huang Yukun couldn't help it and asked, "What are you doing?" Zhang Zhimu said: "I'm looking at what you look like with your hijab?" Huang Yukun couldn't help but laugh and said, "When do you want to lift the hijab?" Zhang Zhimu said: "This good thing can't be done all at once. Let's go ahead tomorrow morning! Huang Yukun said: "Okay, let's see how long you can survive!" Zhang Zhimu suddenly lifted the hijab in the past, and Huang Yukun, who was carefully dressed, looked even more beautiful. Zhang Zhimu couldn't help but hug Huang Yukun and began to kiss, Huang Yukun broke out and said, "You be quiet, don't let outsiders hear?" Those bad guys, they are listening to the wall roots at this time. Zhang Zhimu knew that although this was the third floor, there was no glass, and the window paper was not soundproof at all. Those guys can't hear the sound, and they'll make up something tomorrow to talk about it; If you hear something, it's news tomorrow. Zhang Zhimu and Huang Yukun both quietly took off their clothes and lay on the bed, just hugging each other. Zhang Zhimu said: "I'm too tired this day, let's sleep for a while." Huang Yukun nodded, Zhang Zhimu was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he touched his head on the pillow. At this time, Huang Yukun couldn't sleep, looking at the person next to him, he felt like a dream. I wondered, is this happiness really my own? There was something unreal in my heart.

In fact, there are two people who can't sleep tonight. One is Yang Yulin, and the other is Xiao Hongyu who has taken off her costume. Both of them felt uncomfortable, and both of them fell in love with Zhang Zhimu. And I can't extricate myself from love, but I can't say it, and the pain in my heart can only be endured. In fact, Mrs. Cai had long seen that Yang Yulin had something on her mind. Because since Yang Yulin returned to Yaogang, she has been unhappy. Ask her why? Yang Yulin didn't say anything.

Zhang Zhimu slept until the second half of the night, he woke up the dazed Huang Yukun, took off her clothes one by one, starting with a kiss, and then up and down his hands, making Huang Yukun panting, holding Zhang Zhimu tightly with both hands, Zhang Zhimu turned over and got on the horse, and started the "tent with tassels, red was turned over the waves". This night, the two can finally share the joy of life without any scruples. Several times in a row, I reached the peak of happiness.

Zhang Zhimu was immersed in the Spring Festival that was worth a thousand gold, he didn't know that something big was going on outside. His companions patted and disturbed him, and had quietly gone out on the march.
