The capital in May is in the alternating season of spring and summer, and the morning belongs to spring, with a hint of coldness; Noon belongs to summer, and the baked house dog can't stop sticking out its tongue. Li Ruohua had already changed into a bright green hairpin dress under the service of the old mother and maid. Different from the impression, the color of the wedding dress of this era is mainly green, especially the women's wedding dress, which must use bright green as the main color. On the basis of green, it can be paired with some red or black, which is very different from the traditional Chinese red of later generations. Compared with the woman's green dress, the color of the man's dress is red, with red as the main color, with an appropriate amount of black.

No matter ancient or modern, women's immunity to 'wedding dress' is almost zero, and every woman begins to fantasize about the moment she puts on her wedding dress from the moment she first opens her love. And the most beautiful moment in a woman's life is the day of the wedding.

Getting married is a big event for Hongyuan Commercial Bank, and it has also set off a heated discussion in the entire capital. Especially for the many 'hated marrying girls' in the capital, after tea and dinner, the sisters get together, and the topic is always the great joy that is inseparable from Hongyuan Commercial Bank. When the whole capital was in full swing to welcome this marriage, Wei Hong, one of the protagonists, was nowhere to be found.

If it is someone else, when he is the groom's official, he will definitely wait at home in a proper manner, nervously welcoming the arrival of the great day. But Wei Hong, at this time, with Li Dejian, Cheng Chumo and a few other buddies, gathered in the Wei Mansion to plot something. Even when the maid and servant come in to bring tea, they must quickly put down and leave, and do not stay in the house for a long time. It wasn't until less than two hours before the start of marriage that Wei Hong and the others came out of the house.

Out of the house, Wei Hong whispered a few words in Li Dejian's ear, and then left the Wei Mansion quickly. Li Dejian summoned sixteen servants and ordered the servants to take out four large elm boxes from the house and secretly transport them to the vicinity of Hongyuan Trading House to hide. Subsequently, Li Dejian asked Yu Chi Baolin and Lei Chuhan to go to the best painting workshop in the capital to get something. Then send Cheng Chu Mo and Fang Yi to the major well-known Qinglou in the capital, and invite all the famous singers and dancers to the vicinity of Hongyuan Commercial Bank. When Li Dejian and Du He were about to leave, they ran into Luo Tong and Li Chongyi at the door.

As soon as they met, Luo Tong was overjoyed, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "I found the diamond that Mr. wanted!" That Taishi made Fu Yi so stingy, Chongyi and I started to ask him for it yesterday, and finally took out the relics that my father left for me paperweight jade lion to exchange with him, and he promised to give us the diamond! As he spoke, Luo Tongtong poked Li Chongyi's ribs with his elbow and asked Li Chongyi to take out the diamond.

Diamond is commonly known as diamond, in our country's oldest poem "Book of Songs" there is a record of "the stone of other mountains, you can attack jade", among which the stone of other mountains is the so-called diamond, that is, diamond. However, at that time, diamonds were extremely rare, and the world knew very little information. In this era, one day the monk Zhu used diamond to pretend to be a Buddha's tooth, which was indestructible and attracted everyone to worship. Later, the son of Fu Yi, the anti-Buddhist fighter Taishi Ling, shot the diamond down from the Buddha's mouth with an antelope horn, and so far, the diamond fell into Fu Yi's hands.

In his opinion, whether it is a Chinese wedding or a Western wedding, he should give his wife a diamond ring to express his loyal love for his wife. Wei Hong knew that Fu Yi had a diamond in his hand, so he asked Luo Tong to ask for it. Of course, diamond is not a cabbage, and there is a price to pay if you want to get it. As long as Luo Tong can come, no matter what he pays, Wei Hong will bear it. In order to become this family, Wei Hong can be regarded as having made a bloody investment.

Li Dejian took the diamond from Li Chongyi's hand and turned it upside down in his hand. This diamond is about the size of Li Dejian's small fingernails, which seems to be not big, but in the diamond, it is quite heavy. Li Dejian stuffed the diamond into his arms, put it close to his body, and asked Du He to take Luo Tong and Li Chongyi to Hongyuan Commercial Bank first, and then go to the jade shop by himself.

On the other hand, Wei Hong finally returned to Hongyuan Commercial Bank. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Wanniang standing in the yard with a big belly. Seeing Wei Hong, Wan Niang stroked her stomach with one hand and held her waist with the other, hurriedly greeted her, pulled Wei Hong's arm and walked back, and said urgently as she walked: "Your eyebrows are burning, why aren't you in a hurry at all?" What if the marriage is delayed? Hurry up, go back and change your clothes. ”

Originally, Wan Niang pulled Wei Hong, but Wei Hong was worried that Wan Niang's movements would flash, so he hurriedly turned around and walked back with Wan Niang. After entering the house, the two sisters-in-law of the Zhou family had been waiting for a long time, and they came up to take off Wei Hong's clothes without saying a word. Even Wei Hong, a swinger, couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly blasted the two sisters-in-law out and changed into clothes by himself. If the little maid waits for a change of clothes, it doesn't matter, after all, it is the two sisters-in-law of the Zhou family, and there is some mustard in her heart.

After changing his clothes, Wei Hong sat with Wan Niang in the house, waiting for the good time to come. Wei Hong helped Wan Niang to the chaise longue and sat shoulder to shoulder with Wan Niang. Wan Niang kept sorting Wei Hong's clothes, for fear that there would be wrinkles somewhere. Not long after, Li Zongren knocked on the door and walked in, telling Wei Hong that the auspicious time had arrived, and asked Wei Hong to go out with him first.

Because Wei Hong often lives in Hongyuan Commercial Bank, he and Li Ruohua are simply 'living together before marriage', and Wei Hong has no relatives, so there is no procedure to welcome relatives. Although everything is about rules and etiquette these days, the rules are set by people, and it is still necessary to adapt to changes. Otherwise, it will become a rigid rule, and the harm will outweigh the good.

followed Li Zongren to the backyard and saw that the backyard was full of servants, and dozens of boxes of all sizes were placed. Wei Hong was puzzled for a while, and then asked Li Zongren: "Sir, what are these boxes?" ”

Li Zongren smiled at Wei Hong: "The son's hometown is in Hangzhou, and he often lives in Hongyuan Commercial Bank, so the rules for welcoming relatives still have to go more or less." The owner knows that Childe is not a person who sticks to form, so these dowries and other things are prepared by the owner in advance. When the time comes, let's carry these things along the street outside, and then we will welcome our relatives. ”

Hearing this, Wei Hong suddenly realized. This is the same as the 'formalist' of Wei Hong's time, who likes to go through a form in everything. Since ancient times, this is probably a bad habit that is difficult for Chinese people to change. (To be continued.) )
