Chapter 105: Seeking Marriage (1)
Within a week, Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin had already done all the wedding preparations. They really worked hard for Qi Mi's wedding, and Qi Mi was particularly moved, because he only thought that it would be good if he could marry Katrin home smoothly, and now with the efforts of Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin, he will definitely have a very perfect wedding.
The wedding day is just around the corner, and Catelyn's family is ready. In fact, they have nothing to prepare, because they strongly disagree with Qi Mi and Katrin's marriage. Catherin's family still had their hearts and minds on the merchant in the country of Etos, and when the merchant pursued Catlin, they all received more or less favor from the merchant. They disagree with Catlyn's free love, but the merchant of Itos suddenly disappears, much to the regret of Catlyn's family.
At this moment, Katrin suddenly tells her family that she wants to marry the man she is in free love, and tells them that they have already cooked raw rice! In this rather conservative era, now that the wood is complete, there is nothing her family can do about it, although they are full of resentment. Besides, when they put Catlyn under house arrest before, some emergency team came to let Catlyn out, and they thought that it was the people that Catlinto's colleagues and friends had gone to see, even if they didn't say anything when they came to rescue Catlin, but they could see that they had come on order. Because they were afraid that there would be any more emergency team members to intervene, they had to agree to Catlin's family affairs, but until now they have not met with Qi Mi, of course Qi Mi knows what her family thinks, but Qi Mi doesn't care, when the time comes, he will let Catlin's family see what the person who Catlyn has entrusted her life is like!
Catelyn dressed herself up beautifully and prepared to come and get married. Today is their day of great joy, and Katrin is the happiest woman and the most beautiful. Only the two sisters-in-law in their family, who were more friendly with her, accompanied her here, and no one else, even her parents and brothers, came to ask, maybe they thought that Catlyn was just a poor boy, and it was not worth the excitement at all. Originally, they all thought that Catlyn would be able to get great benefits after marrying the Itos merchant, but now it's a good thing, the Itos merchant has come to naught, and the new son-in-law has never even met in person, only knowing that he works in the government affairs center of the Lion King Base, and that is only a maximum of ten or twenty lion king yuan per month.
Katrin's second brother has been doing business in Silver Tower City, and now there are two restaurants in fixed assets, of course he won't take those ten or twenty lion king yuan in his eyes! Catlyn's eldest brother also has some small businesses in the residential area, and now of course he has a few spare money. The most powerful is Katrin's brother-in-law, who has specially set up a horse team to transport oil from the oil mines in Xingjiamen to the Lion King Base Refinery, although there are several horse teams from Xingjiamen to the Lion King Base to transport oil mines, but it is not easy to be among them.
Katrin's brother-in-law's horse team has more than 30 carriages, and dozens of them have been leased out, and this fixed asset alone can make ordinary people's eyes extremely hot. This fixed asset is enough for her brother-in-law and sister to live a prosperous life for the rest of their lives, and their mining business is very profitable, so Katrin's brother-in-law has the highest status in their family and has the most important right to speak. Even Katrin's father, who had always been at home, did not dare to say a word to her brother-in-law, and he obeyed him.
Although Katrin's family did not support Catlyn's marriage, they could not lose face in front of outsiders. It's time to get all the housework done, and the reason they didn't go with Catelyn now is because they're discussing how to embarrass their new son-in-law. The new son-in-law was hated by them, even Caterin's brother-in-law, for he had negotiated a great deal with the merchant when he was pursuing Catlin, and then he had lost it, and that could not make him angry!
Even Catlyn's family didn't know that the complete disappearance of the Itos merchant was due to their new son-in-law, Qi Mi, but they still felt that if the wealthy Itos merchant would take a fancy to Katrin, it was possible that other merchants would also take a fancy to her. What now? Katrin is going to marry a small government minister who has little power, and if the other party is a powerful person, I am afraid that he would have come to Katrin's house to show off his might, which is simply a big disappointment for them! In fact, this is just their wishful thinking, what they don't know is that Qi Mi pursues an absolutely low-key principle, and it is impossible for him to use his power anywhere to show off his might!
Katrin's brother-in-law said hatefully, "I've always been the most optimistic about Katrin in our family, why? Because her natural beauty is particularly fascinating, whether she is looking for a rich or powerful man, but what is happening now? If we marry a rich or powerful man, we will all benefit from it, and our family will be stronger! Now it seems that that hope has been dashed......"
Katerin's father was also angry: "This Catlyn has been very well-behaved since she was a child, and she is also very well-behaved when she grows up. But when it comes to lifelong events, he is so obsessed, it really breaks the ****'s heart! Today, we can't let that kid marry Catelyn easily, it's not that we have to embarrass him, we want everyone to see, our family doesn't agree to this marriage, don't let people think that our family can tolerate anything! ”
Katrin's eldest brother and second brother also chimed in: "Yes, you can't just forget it, our family is not so easy for people to marry girls!" ”
The family has given a way to find a way to be embarrassed, and they all have the same opinion, and they must embarrass Qi Mi to death today! And they won't treat him as their own family in the future, as for Katrin, after marrying, they will marry out, they would rather not have this person later! They had prepared a very shabby dowry for Catherine, just some bedding and a little money at the bottom of the box, and they didn't care about the rest.
Katrin waited in her room, her heart thrilling, eager to marry her. The two sisters-in-law who had been accompanying her were talking to her beside her, telling her not to be nervous or afraid, in fact, Katrin was not afraid at all, because she usually stayed with Qi Mi all day long, and it was not the result of those fathers' marriages, because they didn't know each other, they were very nervous.
It was nine o'clock in the morning when Katrin suddenly heard the sound of a cannon salute not far away, and the sound of drumming. She knew in her heart that this was Qi Mi to marry her, and her heart, which had always been quite calm, suddenly became a little excited, and her heart was pounding in her chest, and now she knew the true mood of getting married soon.
At this time, Katlin's family also heard the commotion outside, as if it was not far from their house. Katrin's father asked a little strangely, "Strange, which big family is marrying here, how can I marry Katrin for a day!" It seems that today is still a good day, and there are many people who get married. He couldn't have imagined that this was the salute and drum music to marry Katrin, and the drum music was specially brought by Cheng Lei to find some of the best performers in the Lion King's Army's drum band.
Of course, the head of the greeting team is Zheng Bin, and all the greeting work is arranged by him. And Cheng Lei stayed in the military zone to prepare for the rest of the wedding and banquet, and they had already divided the work. Originally, Cheng Lei wanted him to bring someone to greet him, but Qi Mi and Zheng Bin resolutely objected, because his stinky temper would not be a joke if he saw those people in Katrin's family, after all, this was Qi Mi's marriage, and he wanted to finish the wedding smoothly. Although Cheng Lei repeatedly promised that there would be no moths, Zheng Bin and Qi Mi still forced him to settle him at home, which also made him regret it very much.
Katrin's family couldn't sit still when they heard the drums getting closer, and Katrin's eldest brother said, "I didn't hear that there are other people in our neighborhood getting married today, brother and sister, you go out with your sister-in-law to see what is going on, is there something festive outside of other people's houses, why is there such a big commotion!" ”
Katrin's sister-in-law and sister-in-law were ordered to go out to check, and when they came to the door, they saw that the street outside the door was already bustling with people watching the excitement. The two of them looked in the direction of the drum music, and saw that at the front of the drum band were eight tall horses dressed in red and colored colors, and behind them was a drum band of about thirty people. There was something beyond that, but it was too far away to see clearly.
As the procession slowly walked to Catelin's house, they saw dozens of heavily armed Lion Army officers behind the drum band, all armed with pistols of the kind pinned to their waists. This is a pistol team specially arranged by Cheng Lei to prevent any accidents or someone from making trouble, and of course, it is also to deter Katrin's family. The officers of the pistol team were led by two colonels, Li Changcheng, the commander of the Cheetah Infantry Regiment, and Pan Jin, the commander of the Viper Infantry Regiment. Behind the two of them were all majors, and these majors were personally selected by Cheng Lei from among those officers at the level of deputy battalion commander and battalion commander.
Such a high specification can be said to be absolutely a long face for Qi Mi, of course, they did not come on foot, there were more than a hundred pickup trucks and newly developed military jeeps behind them, and they only got out of the car and walked over when they were about to arrive at Katrin's house to show their grandeur. Behind the pistol team are the officials of the Lion King Government Affairs Center, they are all Qi Mi's direct subordinates, so they must be present, and the four ministers of the Logistics Department, the Foreign Affairs Department, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Personnel Department of the Lion King Base are also all present, and behind them are the directors of each factory and other leaders, and then the following officials are below.
The people in the vicinity of Catelin's house, who were on the spot, couldn't help but exclaim, they had never seen or heard of such a procession of people. And there are also the pistol teams of more than thirty officers, they are rare to see even a team of thirty ordinary soldiers, and no one has the ability to find them, let alone so many officers!
Looking further back, they were even more stunned, hundreds of pickup trucks and military jeeps! These cars have never been seen by ordinary people, who is this person who is coming to greet their relatives, and which girl is they marrying! Just then, the drum band stopped in front of Katrin's house, and split into two rows at the door to continue playing.
Zheng Bin took Qi Mi, Li Changcheng, Pan Jin and the four ministers of the Lion King Base towards their doors. Looking at Zheng Bin and them, Katerin's sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were stunned, but Katrin's sister-in-law reacted faster, and the second sister-in-law who pulled Katrin ran into the yard, and after entering the living room, she shouted desperately: "No...... Oh no! There are a lot of people who came to our house...... A lot of people and cars......" she began to speak incoherently with excitement and fear.
Katrin's eldest brother-in-law said, "Why are you so excited, isn't it because they don't know where to find a drum band?" What is there to show off, as long as I am willing to spend money, I can find ten drum bands! ”
"It's not...... No, there are a lot of soldiers! The second sister-in-law also said with an earthy face.
This sentence attracted everyone's attention, and the eldest brother-in-law immediately stood up: "What? And the military! He knew that the highest status in the entire Lion King Base was of course the soldiers of the Lion King Army, if there were no soldiers, the Lion King Base would not have developed to the point where it is now, the second sister-in-law actually said that there were still soldiers who came to greet him, he didn't want to have any unpleasantness with those Qiu Ba because of any contradictions and misunderstandings. Although he didn't eat soldiers' meals, everyone knew that messing with the soldiers of the Lion King Army was not a joke.
Originally, they had already agreed to let Qi Mi and them come directly to beg them to release Katrin and hand her over, but now it seems that this is not the case, and the eldest brother-in-law took Katrin's parents and two older brothers out of the house to meet the party who came to greet them. What they are most afraid of is that those Qiu Ba will come to make trouble, so of course they can't give those soldiers an excuse to make trouble.
After they came out, they happened to meet Zheng Bin and them, of course the eldest brother-in-law didn't know Zheng Bin, but Zheng Bin's back Qi Mi, who was wearing a new groom's clothes, of course he could see that this was the groom. and the people behind them all had the aura of a superior, which made the eldest brother-in-law suddenly feel half a head shorter. He glanced at the two officers among them again, and the more he looked at them, the more strange he felt, he also knew a few officers of the Lion King's Army, all of them were company commanders and platoon commanders or something, that is, they were all lieutenants and captains, but he couldn't tell the rank on the epaulettes of these two officers, because he had never seen even a colonel.
