Chapter 1466: Four Funerals and a Wedding (End)
The chief state secretary who has served under the head of state for more than ten years, the first disciple of the Grand Magister, and the top student of the Central Academy of Magic and the National University, if you add up the above titles, you will soon be combined into a rich and handsome image of a winner in life and a social elite, right?
If there is another wife with a noble family, a rich dowry, a beautiful and gentle and virtuous wife, and even a very nice body, then it must be burned to death...... Ah no, that life is really perfect. A full and flawless life will then be filled with happiness every second, which makes people want to burn, no, and make people envious and jealous.
Where will the wedding of the above combination be held?
Under the deep and magnificent starry sky, feel the softness of the sea breeze, listen to the slow lapping of the waves, and step into the flower hall decorated with various flowers on the ancient castle square on the seaside, surrounded by the vicissitudes of life and the vast epic sense of monuments. At this time, the bride, who is the main character, slowly enters the scene. She wore a wedding dress with natural crystals and crystal clear rhinestones embellished with eternal patterns, and the back of the skull was dragged out several meters long, and was held by two angelic flower girls carved in pink and jade. Subsequently, the top band began to play, and the romantic notes floated into every corner of the flower hall, which was touching, it was really tear-jerking, and made Gu Ying's self-pitying singles even more sad, no, they were moved.
When the bridegroom, who was supposed to be burned, put a diamond ring as big and bright as a light bulb on the bride's hand, everyone raised their torches...... Ah no, start clapping and cheering. Fireworks, which are more gorgeous and brilliant than the bright stars, are constantly taking to the sky, blooming in a colorful color that covers the entire sky. In the joy of everyone, the couple will also officially start the loving married life that blinds everyone. What a joy!
Of course, it doesn't really matter how much resources are wasted and how much the environment is polluted. This loving and loving couple, the cost of a wedding is as high as the income of dozens or hundreds of low-level working people for a lifetime, which is also a normal expense, after all, there is nothing wrong with spending "your own money". They will completely become the meat eaters of the ruling class in the love year after year, but the herbivores who are fortunate enough to be present will still be moved by the envy and fascination of such a luxurious and extravagant wedding - even if there are old men who feel that something is wrong, they will definitely be moved by this romance supported by money and quickly suppressed by the old ladies, right?
Of course, herbivores can only watch from afar. The guests of a real wedding must be just as much meat eaters as the bride and groom. Between the staggering and the false blessings to the couple, they complete the process of struggle, compromise and mutual joy. Anyway, the bigwigs of high society are always used to turning all occasions into vulgar stores for the exchange of interests, whether it is weddings, birthday banquets, charity feasts or even funerals.
Thus, the class order of society was stabilized again.
The wedding of His Excellency Arantis Narcisss and Miss Leas Fil Greenheard, and the wedding celebration of the Führer's Secretary of State and the eldest lady of the Grean Heard family, a large federal businessman, if it is really the above style, is it understandable, right? Of course, if this is really the case, Lu Xi will definitely not participate.
What makes him very pleased is that although the real-time changes and the vicissitudes of life, Brother Alan has changed from a sour smell of a winner in life to a super winner in life who is about to marry Bai Fumei to the top, but there is no change in essence.
"Are you qualified to speak of me? Are you really qualified to speak of me? Look at the girls...... "The groom, who is dressed in a well-groomed but not extravagant dress, said angrily. He looked at Sesilu, Nicole and Lim who were chattering in the guest seats, and the three beautiful girls sat together, even more beautiful as if they were paintings, so the groom was even more angry: "This is not here yet, is it?" The Queen of Auckland, Princess Nord, and the young lady of the current King of the Night, what a luxury this is! ”
"Eh, did you gather good information? What's the matter, the state secretary has been in office for too long and wants to skin it, and the next step is to prepare to take over the squad of Admiral Makarov? In other words, if you really run away to be a dark and obscene secret police leader, can the bride accept it? ”
"I'm still only a colonel in the reserves, and even if I return to active duty and enter the military system, I can only go to a certain regiment to seek a deputy position in the third or fourth rank...... Wait, you actually showed it off at my wedding, right? Your Excellency the Twenty-One-Year-Old Admiral. ”
If I told you that if it weren't for some of Raushzi's "seniority problems", I would already be an archmage and automatically become a marshal, would you be even more sad?
"So, Colonel, as the bridegroom today, I may permit you not to salute. But then again, I was invited to come over to witness the marriage, right? Well, is there a speech? Without me, I would have improvised......"
"Please don't! If you bring the energy to make trouble in the council, my only wedding today will become a nightmare of a lifetime. The groom smiled bitterly and said, "In short, please sit in the first row honestly, if you are bored, eat some snacks first, and don't make trouble!" Count me brother, please! ”
Lu Xi sighed and sat back in the first row. In the back row of him is Sesilul, on the left is Sister Andrel, and on the right is the oldest Mr. Jerry Nahis, who is 70 years old and the grandfather of the groom.
Well, when getting married, the witnesses are the most respected elders, the relatives and elders of the newlyweds, or the leaders who don't know how to drag them from that corner, in fact, they also reflect the attitude of the newly established family towards life. What made Lu Xi even more relieved was that Brother Alain's marriage witness was neither him, nor the parliamentarian or minister, nor any big tyrant from the woman's family, or his grandfather, Mr. Nahis, a carpenter master who didn't know a few big characters, but was very famous in his hometown.
Perhaps because of this, the guests who came to the wedding this time did not have any so-called "big names on the table" and "friends" in the circle of relationship interests, and only immediate family members were present on both sides of the family, plus caring about the best friends and girlfriends who were particularly close, there were only forty or fifty people in total, and the majority were young people. Lu Xi is the biggest of them, but this time he is wearing simple civilian clothes. If he doesn't say it himself, who knows that this young man will be an admiral?
Master Russell, of course, was not present. If he comes, the wedding will be of a different nature entirely.
At the age of seventy, Mr. Carpenter, who was still in good health and full of energy, stood on the stage and took out the draft of his speech, but looked at everyone in the audience and seemed a little hesitant, probably not knowing what kind of tone to use to read the opening statement. Although he was still a decent person in the town, he had no experience of being watched by such forty or fifty people, and seemed to be a little at a loss, and stood for several seconds without speaking. Seeing that the atmosphere of the scene was about to become awkward, the old man finally came to his senses, he looked at his grandson who was standing in front of him, and suddenly laughed out loud without knowing why, and then slowly put down the manuscript paper in his hand.
"I thought about when Alain was a child. His mother left too early and entrusted the child to me very early. At that time, I prayed to the goddess Natya, this child must grow up healthy and strong, as long as it is a healthy and energetic child! Then, the goddess promised me. The old man looked at his grandson and his granddaughter-in-law in a wedding dress, his face full of smiles, and every wrinkle was full of happiness and contentment.
"Brother Alan was raised by his grandfather?" Lu Xi asked Andreel beside him in a low voice.
"Alain is a widow, and his father was a junior officer who died on the front lines. His mother gave birth to him bleeding profusely and was not resuscitated. He was actually brought up by his grandfather, Mr. Jerry, himself. Andrell said.
“…… What about Grandma? What about grandparents? ”
"I haven't heard who Alain's grandparents are. As for my grandmother, it seems that my mother died before she got married. ”
This is not surprising. In this era when it is not easy to live, this is the average life expectancy of ordinary working people.
Lu Xi couldn't help but be in awe of this old carpenter who smiled heartily, don't look at his old man smiling so heartily now, but as long as he thinks about it a little, as long as he thinks about it a little, he can understand the hardships and greatness of it. It is not easy to raise a child, let alone raise a child so well, let alone rely on an old man to raise it independently with a handful of and urine......
"Fortunately, Alain still has three uncles, who have lived together since they got married, and their aunts are also good people, and they treat Alain as if they were their own, and they are a warm and lively family. Mr. Jerry is also a very attractive and handsome old man, as far as I know, there are four confidantes, the youngest is not a few years older than Alain, and they are all very good to him. Hehe, that guy's background is really pitiful, but he has never lacked love since he was a child. ”
Even an elderly winner in life should be burned to death! Also, can you give me back my impressions first?
"Seeing that this child is so healthy, I hope that he will grow into a beautiful and handsome young man. So, I prayed to the goddess again. As a result, what did you do, by the time he was twelve, he was the most handsome boy in the school, and he had to bring back several love letters every day. The richest man in our town, the granddaughter of old Tom, who had two cargo ships and a mill, had been thinking all the time that she would marry Alain when she grew up. I'm sorry, Lias Field, but that miller's arrogant girl is far worse than you. ”
There was a burst of laughter, applause and cheers at the wedding scene, even the dignified and elegant Lias Fell couldn't help but laugh, only Alain shook his head with a helpless and embarrassed wry smile.
"Then, Alain really grew up, and I was really insatiable and really wanted him to have a chance to achieve his ideals. If he wants to go to the capital to study, then go for it. He wants to be a magician, so go for it. If he wants to be a politician, then try his best. So, I prayed to the Goddess again. As insatiable as I was, the Goddess still fulfilled my rude request. Then, I found out that he had awakened his spiritual powers...... Uh, that's the term you magicians, right? Then, he was favored by Master Clement and became a disciple of the Grand Magister. Now, he is a politician again. ”
Not yet a politician in the strict sense of the word, but a secretary of a politician. However, the chief secretary of state of the dignified head of state has more authority than a local county governor and senator.
"Goddess bless, my Alain eventually grew up to be such a child, in the eyes of outsiders, it should be considered excellent and successful." At this point, the old man paused, and the smile on his face faded. He looked at a pair of perfect beauties, and said slowly and earnestly: "However, I always feel that you are always missing the most important point!" ”
The applause and laughter slowly stopped, but everyone didn't think this turn was blunt, and it was common sense that the elderly would always bring a few heavy words of teaching and advice when they blessed the young. In this process, of course, everyone also needs to behave seriously, which is the etiquette of being a human being.
So I began to pray...... No, I sincerely hope that Alain, and Lia Sfair, will make a happy family. Happy every day in the future. The blessing and favor of the goddess can make you successful, but whether you can be happy or not can only depend on you to fight for it. The old man pointed to Alain's heart, and his tone was serious and sincere.
In the eyes of others, the Führer's chief state secretary and disciple of Arantis is already a superman who can climb to the sky. In the eyes of many people, although the bride's Gray and Heard family is rich, it is only a merchant family, and marrying her daughter to Alain is completely high. If it weren't for the fact that their ancestors had the blood of an Auckland wealthy family, this marriage would have been ridiculed by many people, right? However, in the eyes of the old carpenter who has worked hard all his life in this town, no matter how successful the big man is, it is still his little Alain, who has grown up with one hand, and will always be the child he needs to worry about. Conversely, why not Alain? You know, no matter who you become now, or who you will become in the future, but how happy it will be to have such a dear elder who can always scold you, teach yourself, and tolerate you.
"Don't worry. I'll be happy to show you. Alain's voice seemed a little small, but his attitude was solemn and solemn, as if he were a general who had taken the oath under the national flag.
The old man nodded, and once again showed a smile like a narrow old urchin, "Then, I'll give you this lucky boy, Lias Fair." As you can see, it was not easy for the goddess and me to make him like this. Don't mess it up! ”
The laughter rang out again, and a cheerful, romantic, yet hopeful atmosphere enveloped the entire wedding scene. The smile of the beautiful and dignified bride was especially bright, but she could not hold back the tears of emotion in her eyes. Then, in the midst of the bells of the temple of Mara in the suburbs, in the cheerful singing and romantic music, and in the blessings of all the people in the audience, the eldest lady of the Grean Heard family, a wealthy merchant of the Federation, and the bridegroom, Arantis Narciss, kissed each other tightly.
"Well, that's great. The teacher should actually come. Andreil wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and she couldn't see the sassy and cold before.
“……”→_→
"What, this kind of look. I'm also a normal girl, is there anything wrong with seeing this scene? ”
"No, I'm just thinking, instead of being moved by such a hypothetical feeling, shouldn't the priority be to have a boyfriend first? Master Russell was very attentive and asked me if there were any outstanding young men in the Fourth Legion that I could introduce to you. ”
“…… Brother Lu Xi, has anyone ever said that you are actually quite underbeaten sometimes. ”
