Chapter 91: A Church Wedding
An Ge praised: "Madame is really ice and snow smart. β
Tong Yuqing asked again: "Ziting has been living on the island, who is in charge of the affairs of Lingfang?" β
An Ge replied: "Because I am the first woman to be taken in by Childe, and because Childe does not dislike An Ge's vulgarity, so over the years, when Childe was away, I was taking care of Helingfang." β
Tong Yuqing said with a smile: "The girl is really too modest, the person who can take care of a song and dance workshop is not a vulgar person, but it is not enough to have a delicate heart." β
An Ge Waner smiled, "Madame is truly extraordinary, otherwise how could she get into the eyes of the son?" Just like those of us who have known Childe for so long, none of them can get Childe's favor. I heard Gongzi Qingyi say that Gongzi only saw you once, and he was moved by your true feelings. β
A trace of loneliness flashed in Tong Yuqing's eyes, but she still smiled flawlessly on her face, and she pulled the topic elsewhere without a trace, "Qingyi Gongzi? Did the girl actually know the world-famous Qingyi son? β
An Ge was a little surprised, "Didn't Childe mention it to you?" Young Master Weiqing's name is Qingyi, he is also a frequent visitor to us and Lingfang, and he likes to compose music for our son-in-law. The lyrics and songs that the two of them collaborated on are very popular in Ningtai, and some even sing them from family to family, just like the song "Dust". β
Tong Yuqing was very surprised, she had heard of Gu Weiqing's composition, but she didn't expect him to be Qingyi's son, "It's really unimaginable that such a pleasant tune is actually from him!" β
An Ge smiled: "Don't look at the fact that Young Master Yi doesn't have a positive shape on weekdays, and composing music is not an ordinary calm." β
Tong Yuqing couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a person who can't look good, and the sea water can't be measured." β
As the two spoke, they felt that they had arrived at the house soon. Because An Ge has never been to Jindu, so for a few days in a row, Qing Ziting took her to visit Jindu, Tong Yuqing would accompany her if she was not busy in the Financial Secretary, and Gu Weiqing would follow them if she heard that it was a particularly beautiful scenery, otherwise she would go to Caijin Pavilion with a group of fox friends and dogs in Jindu to have fun in a place like Caijin Pavilion.
Time passed like flowing water, and it was the end of April in a blink of an eye, Gu Weiqing and An Ge considered that the tenth day of the fifth month was Lu Xi's wedding, so they simply stayed in Qing Ziting's mansion and waited until her wedding was over before going back.
Zhong Shunhua has been very quiet since he had a big quarrel with his daughter that day, and Liang Yue has been grounded in the house by his father Liang Yiming because of his public disgrace. All the forces that have the ability and the heart to stop this wedding have been suppressed, so when the midsummer season comes, guests from all over the world gather in Jindu, resulting in a full number of guests at Guangfeng Hotel, from the manager to the waiter, who are very busy, eager to learn the art of separation.
While everyone was busy going to the Overseer's Mansion to move around, a special guest came to the Qingziting Mansion. The name of this guest, Qing Ziting and Tong Yuqing are not unfamiliar, but her arrival makes the two of them difficult to distinguish.
Qing Ziting put down the name post, looked at Tong Yuqing's face, and said softly: "If you don't want to see her, I will send someone to send her away." β
Tong Yuqing raised her eyebrows slightly, "See." Why not? It's rare that she still remembers my old master when she soars, if I don't see it, don't I know how to lift? β
Qing Ziting hesitated for a while, Tong Yuqing felt that it was better to talk to him straight to the point, "She has been by my side for many years, and she has some little wisdom, but looking at the things she has done, I also know that she has no great wisdom." I was deceived by her in the past because I believed her, but now if she still wants to deceive me, it is impossible. You can go to the study to read books and paint with confidence. β
Qing Ziting asked Shuque to invite Yao Yao in, and then went to the study step by step.
Yao Yao was dressed in plain clothes, and when she saw Tong Yuqing, she wanted to kneel down to pay the salute of the master and servant, Tong Yuqing raised her hand slightly, "You are now the little aunt and grandmother of Baifu, a serious master, don't give the old rites in the past, I can't afford it, and I shouldn't bear it." β
Yao Yao listened to Tong Yuqing's strange words, her heart couldn't help but hang, she still bent over and said: "Miss said this, I would have seen the outside, if it weren't for Miss Meticulous*, Yao Yao would not have today's status, so this gift, whether it is for old love or kindness, Yao Yao should be given." Saying that, Yao Yao knelt down and made a big salute, but she didn't hear Tong Yuqing let her get up for a long time. She looked up at Tong Yuqing nervously, only to see Tong Yuqing concentrating on the fragrance of tea, as if she had forgotten that there was such a person as her.
Others don't know, but Yao Yao knows Tong Yuqing best. Tong Yuqing will never make any rude acts unless she is seriously injured. There must be a reason why she is doing this to herself today. Yao Yao pondered for a while, when she learned that she had married Bai Qiaoxuan as a concubine, Tong Yuqing had not been so hostile to herself, so what else could make her treat herself so harshly......
Some pictures flashed in Yao Yao's mind, did she know......
Thinking of this, Yao Yao slammed her head on the ground and said, "Miss forgive your sins, Miss forgive your sins......"
Tong Yuqing put down the teacup, looked at Yao Yao for a long time, and sneered: "Seeing him go to seduce Lu Xi, you even forgot about the fact that I would definitely arrest Tong Baiyi, and only thought about how to deal with Lu Xi, where did you go when you spilled the medicine on the sheets?!" β
Yao Yao's body shook, kept kowtowing, and cried: "Miss spare your life...... I was fascinated at the time, and I couldn't stop Tong Baiyi's coercion and temptation, thinking that as long as I ruined my intentions, my son would be mine, and I never thought of betraying Miss. Miss forgive ......"
Tong Yuqing was sad in her heart, "You didn't think about betraying me? How many times have I told you? You are my personal maid, your words and deeds are my words and deeds, and my words and deeds are also your words and deeds. I ask you, did I tell you to destroy Yoyo? I told you at the time, did you want to betray Qiu?! β
Yao Yao opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word, and Tong Yuqing asked coldly: "From the moment you were with Tong Baiyi, did you think that once you failed, everyone would think that I instructed you to do this?" Have you thought about me in the slightest? No. You don't even think about whether the parents who gave birth to you and raised you will be implicated. You are really affectionate towards Bai Qiaoxuan, so affectionate that you don't hesitate to deceive him and give him such a big green hat to achieve your own goals. If I hadn't been forced to leave him, I'm afraid you'd have used all your tricks against me......"
Yao Yao shook her head violently and cried, "Miss, please spare me...... Don't tell Childe about these things, I don't want to leave him......"
Tong Yuqing smiled sadly, "Alas...... For the sake of a man, your little cleverness has disappeared without a trace. You don't want to think that if I had to tell him, would you still be safe before me today? β
Yao Yao was stunned and looked at Tong Yuqing blankly, "Little ...... Miss, you ......."
Tong Yuqing looked indifferently at this girl who had been with her for more than ten years, "Remember." You only have to promise me three things, and I will take them to the grave and never mention them to others. β
Yao Yao nodded hurriedly, only to hear Tong Yuqing say: "First, from now on, don't call me Miss again, I am not your Miss, and I no longer have anything to do with you." Second, no matter what the situation, never appear in front of me again, I don't want to see you again, remembering how stupidly I once believed in you. Third, never do anything to hurt Luhi. If you can't do any of these three things, I'm not only going to spread out your ugly things, I'm going to kill you, remember? β
Yao Yao hurriedly said: "Remember." β
Tong Yuqing picked up the celadon teacup again and said lightly: "Then get out." β
As soon as Yao Yao wanted to say thank you, Miss, she was shocked to realize that she had almost said the wrong thing, "Yao Yao said goodbye to the second young grandmother, and please take care." β
Reims Shinghoku Cathedral on the outskirts of Jindu is the largest church in Puxi, and there are never a few believers who come and go, but today, there is no sound of prayer here, but a few melodious Western music......
Everyone in the courtyard is dressed in the most solemn Western-style dress, or whispers to friends, or sits with relatives, or strolls with lovers.
A man in a silver-gray suit whispered to the woman in a moon-white dress next to him, "Are you okay?" Do you want to sit down and rest for a while? β
The woman shook her head and replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Later, when I watched the service in the church, there was time to sit. But you, can your body still hold on? β
The man's eyebrows and eyes were full of distress, "Anyway, today is Xi'er's wedding." Even if it is squeezed, I will also squeeze out a smiling face to bless her. β
Tong Yuqing bowed, "If you are okay, I will go to say hello to the leaders and elders of the division first." β
Qing Ziting said: "Okay, you can go." I also walked around, and in two quarters of an hour we would meet here and go back to church together. β
Qing Ziting was walking with a sad heart, when she suddenly heard a woman's voice from behind, "Why is Childe here alone?" β
An Ge was dressed in a royal blue long skirt and a royal blue gauze hat on his head, with a graceful posture like a dream.
Qing Ziting was not in the mood to appreciate her beauty, and replied lightly: "I came a little early, and I couldn't sit still inside, so I came out for a walk." β
An Ge looked around and asked, "Didn't Madame accompany you?" β
Qing Ziting replied: "She went to greet the visiting guests. You know, I have never had the intention of dealing with those people, and I don't deal with them. β
An Ge smiled: "In this way, Madame has really done you a great favor. Anything you don't want to do or won't do, just leave it to her. β
"She did help me a lot......"
An Ge looked at Qing Ziting's expression and asked softly, "Actually, does Gongzi want to take his wife to leave Jindu and return to Yaochen Island?" β
Qing Ziting smiled and sighed: "Ge'er, you still know me best." But now it's not like I want to go back, so I can go back. I don't know what Ruo Wan means, let alone my father, who never wanted me to go back. β
An Ge asked again, "Did the son ask Madame?" β
"Nope. She was very busy in the Financial Division, and I didn't know how to ask her. β
An Ge couldn't help but feel strange, "What is there to ask here?" Just ask Mrs. if she wants to go back to Yaochen Island. β
Seeing that she was so naΓ―ve, Qing Ziting lowered her head and smiled, "That's what you said." β
An Ge smiled: "The sisters in the workshop are also looking forward to the return of their son every day." If we add Madame, we are even more powerful. By the way, Childe, I don't know how Madame's talent is? β
Qing Ziting shook her head and said, "I don't know, I've never seen her perform a talent." β
Before An Ge could speak, he heard the scoundrel's voice, "It turns out that you are hiding here quietly, and you don't call me, it's not interesting enough." β
Seeing his disgraced face, An Ge knew that he was being trained again, and smiled gloatingly: "You didn't say you were coming to look for us." β
Qing Ziting sighed: "I heard that another woman is looking for death and life for you?" β
"I said you two have no conscience, and you don't say comfort and comfort me? I ......" Gu Weiqing pretended to sobbed and said, "I just finished being scolded, woo woo ......"
Qing Ziting and An Ge scolded in unison: "You deserve it!" β
An Ge said angrily again: "Who let you mess with flowers and grass outside all day long? Isn't it good to choose someone seriously to die old? It's no wonder that Master Gu doesn't scold you. β
Gu Weiqing argued: "There are so many women who love me, why should I only love her?" You are my friend, not her friend, how can you help her speak? I've never told her any swearing, if she has to, is she self-inflicted? Saying that, Gu Weiqing pointed at Qing Ziting and said to An Ge: "You still want me to be honest like him and put it on a woman for the rest of my life, how is this possible?" β
Qing Ziting said impatiently: "Okay, okay, if you say it's impossible, it's impossible." The key is that you don't pull one back, just cry, make trouble, and hang yourself. Uncle Gu cherishes the reputation of the Gu family, and of course he will not sit idly by. β
Gu Weiqing sighed: "Gu, Gu, Gu...... I've really heard the word Gu since I was a child, when can I not listen to these two words......"
"It's too late in this life, so let's wait for the next life to be reincarnated." Saying that, Qing Ziting looked at his watch, "I should go back, just now I told Ruo Wan to see you at the Flower Pavilion in two quarters of an hour, do you want to go back with me?" β
An Ge bowed slightly, "Okay, so as not to miss the wedding and make Xi'er unhappy." β
Gu Weiqing also walked back, and said as he walked: "Ziting, when it comes to the one in your family, I just saw her talking to the old men from the Overseer and the Financial Department, she is really articulate and good at dancing with long sleeves!" Even my father said she was a rare talent. How do you fall in love with such a person? I thought that what you liked would be those simple and gentle beauties in the bell shop. β
Qing Ziting stared at him like staring at a dead fish, Gu Weiqing hurriedly apologized, "Okay, okay, you don't want me to say bad things about her, I just don't say it." β
Qing Ziting said coldly: "I'll tell you again, don't fight the ideas of the girls in Helingfang!" β
Gu Weiqing hummed unhappily, "There are so many beauties, you don't touch them yourself, and you don't let others touch them, you are a tyrannical thing!" β
An Ge slapped him hard, "You say another word to the son!" See if I spare you?! β
Gu Weiqing pretended to cry again, "You will bully me, woo woo woo woo ......"
Qing Ziting and An Ge both turned their heads to the side, ignoring the scoundrel, until Qing Ziting's afterglow swept to Tong Yuqing's figure, he turned his head back and walked quickly towards the beauty.
After Tong Yuqing, Gu Weiqing and An Ge greeted each other, the four of them walked into the church together and sat down. Tong Yuqing looked at the corridor in the middle that resembled a corridor, which was full of flowers at this time, and the pure white flowers set off the church more elegant and holy, which was admirable. This is where Bai Qiaoxuan wants to take an oath, and where he wants to swear to love other women for the rest of his life. And she can only sit here and do nothing. Tong Yuqing couldn't help laughing, this is what you asked for, and you can't complain about others at all......
Tong Yuqing suddenly felt that her left hand was being held, she turned to look at the man, and showed him a flawless smile, but Qing Ziting replied with an extremely ugly smile from her. Tong Yuqing held his cold hand back, but he didn't know that his hand was also cold, and he couldn't cover his hand warm.
The clock hanging in front of the beam ticked and ticked. Finally, after it had been chiming a long bell, the priest entered the church with the groomsmen and bridesmaids, and the guests all stood up and handed the wedding ring to the priest. Wagner's wedding march was played melodiously, and two pillars of light were illuminated on both sides of the church door, and the guests turned to look at the two pillars of light, only to see the prince under the pillar of light on the left with a majestic face like a crown of jade. Even if he stood there motionless, he could still make people feel the royal aura emanating from him, that kind of natural nobility, which could not be given by a person's surname and identity. Under the pillar of light on the right side stands an old man and a young man, a man and a woman, the man is as calm as a mountain, resolute as a peak, and the girl next to him is completely different from him, a snow-white dress lining her skin is better than snow, noble and refined, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are full of joy, making people feel that she is an angel with wings in the mortal world, able to brush away all the sorrow on their bodies.
The two pillars of light slowly approached until they finally merged. Lu Tiansheng handed over his daughter to Bai Qiaoxuan, and said in a low voice: "I handed over my daughter to you, you have to treat her well in the future, if I find out that you have bullied her, I will definitely skin you and cramp!" β
Lu Xi wanted to say something, but was appeased by Bai Qiaoxuan, and he smiled slightly: "Qiao Xuan remembers his father-in-law's words. β
Lu Xi burst into tears, and Lu Tiansheng gently pinched her little face, "On the big day, you are not allowed to cry." With that, he left the crowd's gaze and returned to his seat.
Bai Qiaoxuan and Lu Xi held hands and strolled forward. When they stood still before the priest, all the music was gone.
"Today we are gathered in front of God and our guests for the sacred wedding of Mr. Bai Qiaoxuan and Ms. Lu Xi. This is a precious treasure left by God from the foundation of the world, and as such, it should not be entered at will, but respectfully and solemnly. The two can be united at this sacred moment. If anyone knows of any reason why this marriage cannot be consummated, speak up or remain silent forever. β
Qing Ziting and Tong Yuqing's hands tightened again, and the priest looked at Bai Qiaoxuan and asked, "Mr. Bai Qiaoxuan, are you willing to marry Ms. Lu Xi?" β
The little woman's surname is Tong, she is a friend of this white boy, and she is here to greet her friend from afar today......
I know that you are different in my heart. I don't want you to suffer a little bit because of me......
My marriage has always been a bargaining chip, a bargain. Since I was born, I have long been destined that my Tong Yuqing can only live for the family all my life......
Scenes of the past passed through Bai Qiaoxuan's mind, but unfortunately no matter how reluctant he was, now he could only say: "I am willing." β
The priest asked: "In good times and bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sorrowful, will you always love her, cherish her, respect her, be loyal to her forever?" β
Bai Qiaoxuan's eyes were endless deserts, but he clearly heard those three words popping out of his mouth.
The priest turned to Lu Xi, "Ms. Lu Xi, are you willing to marry Mr. Bai Qiaoxuan?" β
Luci smiled beautifully, "I do." β
"In good times and bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sorrowful, will you always love him, cherish him, respect him, and be faithful to him forever?"
"I do."
The priest turned to the crowd and said, "Are you all willing to testify to their marriage vows?" β
The crowd replied in unison, "We do." β
The priest said, "Ask the bride and groom to exchange rings." β
Bai Qiaoxuan turned to face Lu Xi, the afterglow was just enough to sweep to the guests of his mother's house, he seemed to feel two eyes full of tears, his hands couldn't stop trembling, Lu Xi thought he was too nervous, and comforted him softly. Bai Qiaoxuan finally stabilized his mind, put the wedding ring on the ring finger of Lu Xi's left hand, and the teardrops fell on the ring without warning, Bai Qiaoxuan hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and said loudly: "I give you this ring that represents a symbol of love, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, give you everything I have." β
Lu Xi thought that he was crying because he was too excited, and her eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of mist, and she also trembled and put the wedding ring on Bai Qiaoxuan's left ring finger, "I give you this ring that represents a symbol of love, and in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I give you everything I have." β
The priest took their right hands and said in a loud voice: "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I declare you married. God has united you so that no one can be torn apart. β
Tong Yuqing's tears that had been holding in her eyes finally dripped down, and she clearly realized that from this moment on, Qiao Xuan really didn't belong to her anymore......
Mendelssohn's high-pitched wedding march began, and Bai Qiaoxuan and Lucy left the church and headed for their new house in the rain of petals sprinkled by the groomsmen and bridesmaids.
The guests also got up and left with the couple......
