Chapter 55
May 12 of the first year of the Republic of China
The weather is clear and the wind is beautiful, and it is a rare good weather in this rainy season.
Today is also the day of great joy for Lu Shaoyou, the son of Lu Staff Officer, and Zhou Heguang, the only daughter of the Zhou family, a wealthy businessman in Shanghai. Lu Mansion and Zhou Mansion are separated by two streets, because of the happy events of their children, they have to decorate the whole street with a lot of money, the streets are full of red silk, and there are many people standing on the side of the road waiting to see the Lu family pick up the bride.
The entrances of the Lu Mansion and the Zhou Mansion are decorated with red silk cloth to be extremely festive, and there is a housekeeper standing at the door leading the subordinates to receive an endless stream of guests. Since the two families have determined the wedding date, the people with heads and faces in Shanghai have all got the news, whether it is for the face of the Zhou Mansion or the Lu Mansion, there are many guests who come to cheer today.
It's just that because the Zhou family is the one who marries their daughter, although a banquet is also arranged, most of the guests sent congratulatory gifts and went to the Lu Mansion to have a banquet, and they will not stay in the Zhou family for a long time. There are also some high-ranking and powerful people who only gave congratulatory gifts, and they still went to the Lu Mansion as guests first, after all, the Zhou family said that Potian was just a businessman, and the Lu family's face was naturally bigger.
Therefore, the Lu Mansion is even more lively, and Staff Officer Lu is entertaining guests in the living room at the moment. Most of the people who were personally entertained by him were the people in power in Shanghai, and among them were Bai Xiangsheng and Bai Yuyi.
Although Staff Officer Lu secretly fought with Bai Xiangsheng to the death, he was still amicable with him on the surface, and now the two of them were talking and laughing with the teacup, which seemed to be very harmonious.
"This staff officer can bear it." Zhang Xubai sat beside Bai Yuyi, saw the scene, turned his head slightly and whispered to Bai Yuyi. Zhang Xubai knew some of Staff Officer Lu's actions in secret, Bai Yuyi didn't hide it from him when he planned all this, and even analyzed the current situation with him carefully, so he also knew about the battle between Staff Officer Lu and Bai Xiangsheng, so he had this sentence.
"He has prepared a big scene today, you can follow me later, don't run around."
Bai Yuyi also noticed the movement over there, but he didn't care about those two people, he was just a little worried about Zhang Xubai's safety. Originally, he didn't plan to come with Zhang Xubai, but as early as three days ago, he took the evidence to lead the way, and used some covert means to spread the Lin family's actions to the Lu Zhou family.
In order to regain the evidence in Lin Chang's hands, Staff Officer Lu smuggled a batch of arms with the Zhou family, not to mention, but also invited Bai Xiangsheng, Lin Chang, and himself, presumably to take the opportunity to eradicate his enemies in one fell swoop. It was not what he wanted to follow, but he was powerless to stop it, so he had to give a few more instructions now.
"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, I will personally kill Lin Feizhuo."
Zhang Xubai turned his face, looked at Lin Feizhuo diagonally opposite, half of his body hidden in the shadows, and his tone was cold.
————————————
An hour later, the Lu family's welcoming procession set off from the Lu Mansion in a mighty manner. Due to the change of dynasty and the fact that the Lu family had to take the lead in spreading the new civilization in politics, they did not continue the traditional wedding custom of welcoming relatives with a sedan chair, but adopted the specifications of Western-style weddings.
Just for the sake of excitement, the welcoming team still uses gongs and drums to open the way, playing joy and adding joy to go away from evil. Behind the ensemble were three cars decorated with flowers and red silk, followed by several groups of soldiers with guns, and at the end of the group were the festively dressed Lu Fu family members, all carrying bamboo baskets covered with large red cloths on their arms.
Lu Shaoyou sat in the second car, wearing a very elaborate suit and a top hat, handsome and graceful, but he couldn't see the joy of marriage on his face, but he looked like he was going to the battlefield.
About two quarters of an hour, the welcoming team arrived at Zhou's mansion. Lu Shaoyou got out of the car, the housekeeper welcomed people into the front hall, and Lu Shaoyou said goodbye to Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou with the thrush before taking the car to Lu's house.
"Don't be afraid for a while, follow me." Lu Shaoyou and Thrush sat side by side in the back seat of the car. The faint scent of the woman's body caused him to look sideways. The woman wore a traditional Xiuhe dress, her red and bright colors made her complexion fairer, with two Ruyi gold bracelets on her wrists, a gold collar of the same style hanging on her slender neck, and a pair of gold earrings hanging from her round ears.
On weekdays, thrushes often wear jade and rarely wear gold, Lu Shaoyou originally thought that only transparent and refined jade ornaments were the most suitable for her, but she didn't expect that cheesy gold could be worn by her so beautifully. Today, her makeup is also painted extraordinarily gorgeously, her cheeks are pink, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her small mouth is red, which is different from the charming style of the past.
Because it was a Western-style wedding, she replaced the phoenix crown with white yarn, and her jet-black hair was coiled up to the top of her head, with a white veil stuck on it, and she was lying on the ground for a long time, and now she was holding her hands in her arms, so as not to be dirty.
The gorgeous red and flawless white decorated her with extra beauty, Lu Shaoyou sat beside her, and the tension in his heart dissipated a little, and at this moment there was a happy atmosphere of marriage.
Thinking about what was about to happen, Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but hold the thrush's hand and comforted him softly.
Hearing this, the thrush lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, but did not make a sound. Lu Shaoyou felt even more pity in his heart, and clenched her hand tighter. Father chose to do it today, since there was no way to bypass him and the thrush, so she also knew, and now she must be scared.
The thrush sat next to him with low eyebrows, and he was really in no mood to deal with Lu Shaoyou. It's not that she's afraid of the chaotic scene later, after all, it's a man's business, and she can't help, and naturally it's not her turn to worry. What really worried her was her wedding night with Lu Shaoyou.
Although I am afraid that nothing will happen today because of major events, but I can hide from the first day of the new year, I can't hide from the fifteenth, although the Lu family used today's marriage as a cutdown to eradicate dissidents, but she did become Lu Shaoyou's wife, and it was only a matter of time before the round house was rounded. Now she is not complete, if this matter is known by Lu Shaoyou, then she has only one way to die!
Thrush and Lu Shaoyou had their own thoughts, and there was no conversation along the way, and the carriage was quiet and depressing.
However, it was a very lively scene outside, the orchestra team banged and beat all the way without stopping, there were many people on the side of the road pushing and shoving to see the bride in the car, and the Lu Fuxia at the end of the team grabbed the happy candy in the basket and sprinkled it into the pile, all the way over it was not lively! Because the in-laws are the Lu family, Master Zhou gave the thrush a lot of dowry. A long procession, carrying mahogany boxes to follow at the end of the greeting procession, looks like flowing red silk from a distance, and can not be seen at a glance, such a large battle is very rare in Shanghai, so it attracts the crowd to boil.
Lu Shaoyou and the thrush arrived at the Lu Mansion in such a festive atmosphere, as soon as the car stopped, Lu Shaoyou raised his hand to pull down the thrush's veil to cover her face, and waited until the next person opened the car door, he got out of the car first, turned around and hugged the thrush down with his own hands, and hugged the person down until the Lu Mansion living room.
Staff Officer Lu and Mrs. Lu had already sat in the living room, waiting for the newcomer to bow down.
Lu Shaoyou and Thrush stood upright in the center of the living room, and under the gaze of everyone, they successfully finished worshipping.
