The next day, Su Siqi ran out again under the pretext of a classmate's birthday.

When I arrived at the hotel, it was five minutes before nine o'clock. After only knocking, the door opened, the man opened his arms towards her, and Su Siqi threw herself into his arms with a shy face.

In fact, no matter how much you kiss, when the love is strong, you can't wait to kiss like this until you are old.

When both of them were a little confused, the man let go in time, "Let's go, let's get married." ”

Su Siqi took his arm: "Okay, let's get married." ”

In Su Siqi's opinion, Shen Mengqing is just looking for an excuse to stay here for one more day. Running all the way around, and the weather is so cold, it's not that she is not moved, she also wants to play with him for a day, so she listens to whatever the man says.

Yuxiang City used to be the county seat, but it has just been upgraded to a prefecture-administered city, the place is not big, and there are not many places to play, Su Siqi spent three years in high school, so she is very familiar, she plans to take Shen Mengqing to the most prosperous commercial street to take a walk.

Unexpectedly, when she got out of the hotel, there was a car waiting at the door, and Shen Mengqing personally opened the door for her: "Please, Mrs. Shen." ”

Su Siqi sat in very cooperatively, and smiled smartly: "Thank you, Mr. Shen." ”

The car was not driving fast, and there were high and low buildings on both sides of the road, Su Siqi pointed out the window and introduced the style of the city to the man, "I saw that the tallest building is not the telecommunications building in Yuxiang, and it is also the tallest building, more than 100 meters!" The Weirong department store on the right is the most luxurious shopping mall in the city, it can be high-end, I heard that it is made by Hong Kong people, thieves have money, the front left turn is an old road, there is a Yuxiang City No. 1 Middle School, that is my alma mater, the children of ten miles and eight towns are proud to be admitted to Yuxiang No. 1 Middle School. Entering a middle school is equivalent to stepping into a university with half a foot...... Hey, where is this going? ”

Su Siqi was talking endlessly, when suddenly the car drove into a small alley, a narrow road, a rugged road, and when she saw the car coming in, the oncoming people stood far away against the wall and asked them to go first. Inside the walls are tall door frames, painted red or green, and the doors are black, with two rusty knockers on top.

Su Siqi knew where this was, "It turns out that you want to visit the old town, it has a long history, from this alley all the way to the inside, there is a cathedral, called the Sacred Heart Cathedral, or left over from the war years, I remember going to study with my classmates, there is an old Portuguese man in the church, very kind, and give us small biscuits to eat." This church is the most famous in the entire Yuxiang City. ”

"Oh." Shen Mengqing seemed to be interested, "Why don't you introduce it to me." ”

Su Siqi coughed twice pretendedly, and said in a tone: "I heard that this Sacred Heart Cathedral was built by the Spaniards, with a pointed tower and a lightning rod, and its appearance is very unique, it is called Tego-style architecture......"

Shen Mengqing raised his eyelids: "It's a Gothic building, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the Gothic building seems to have existed since the Republic of China, not to mention more than a hundred years, there are arches in it, it is also a pointed roof, there are colorful character paintings on the window glass, it is some religious stories, very ......beautiful" Su Siqi racked her brains, with the only remaining memory to describe the appearance of the Sacred Heart Cathedral to the man.

Before she could finish speaking, the car had already stopped at the entrance of the church. Su Siqi smiled and said, "It turns out that you really want to come here to have a look." ”

Shen Mengqing didn't speak, her expression became a little serious, and she took her hand and walked in.

The church was quiet, and there was no one. The huge stone pillars cross to form pointed arches, extending from the gate to the altar, and the surrounding walls are dotted with a large number of round rose windows, the colors are very strong, red, yellow, blue, green, the sun shines in from the outside, the light is filtered by the glass, reflecting the strong colors, soft and solemn.

Walking in such a solemn place, Su Siqi suddenly became a little nervous, and asked Shen Mengqing in a low voice: "Why is there no one?" "On second thought, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, who will come to church?

In fact, it was not a person, they walked past the rows of wooden chairs, and Su Siqi saw a priest standing on the altar from a distance, not the old Portuguese man she had seen before, but a Chinese in his thirties.

He was slightly chubby, smiling, and had a kind voice: "Welcome, I'm Father Chen,"

Shen Mengqing said: "We are here to get married. ”

Fr. Chen said, "Bless you, please come to the front. ”

Shen Mengqing led Su Siqi forward.

Fr. Chen looked at them and said, "Give them your names." ”

"Shen Mengqing, Su Siqi."

Father Chen lit some water in a white porcelain bowl, wiped it on their foreheads, put his right hand on a thick Bible, and read a long paragraph, "Lord, we come to you, and bless this man and woman who enter the temple of marriage, according to the Lord's will, the two become one, and celebrate the wedding, grow old together for life, for eternity, and walk the way of heaven together, love each other, help each other, teach each other, trust each other, and the Father blesses the door, so that both husband and wife will be blessed with the ......."

Su Siqi stood there inexplicably, what was this Father Chen doing? Why rub water on their foreheads, why do you say these strange words? Why did Shen Mengqing listen with a serious face? When did the church start offering visitors a wedding game?

After Father Chen finished speaking, he asked Shen Mengqing, "Do you want this woman to be your wife and enter into a marriage contract with her?" Love her, care for her, respect her, accept her, be faithful to her until the end of her life, whether she is sick or healthy, or for any other reason? ”

The man replied aloud, "I do." ”

"Ask the bridegroom to put your fingerprint on this certificate as a sign of loyalty."

Shen Mengqing dipped his finger in the ink and pressed his fingerprint on a small piece of paper filled with foreign letters.

Fr. Chen then asked Su Siqi, "Do you want this man to be your husband and marry him?" Love him, take care of him, respect him, accept him, be faithful to him until the end of your life, whether it is sickness or health, or any other reason?"

Su Siqi's palms are sweating, just playing a game, do you want to be so serious? She glanced at Shen Mengqing at a loss, and the man also looked at her, with eager anticipation and a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

I know it's fake, why are you so nervous? Su Siqi's throat swallowed involuntarily and said softly, "I do." ”

Father Chan asked her to press her handprint on a small piece of paper as well.

"Now, the groom can put a ring on the bride."

Shen Mengqing took out a box from his pocket, which contained a pair of thin finger rings, not like wedding rings, but like ordinary couple rings, and he picked one up and put it on Su Siqi's ring finger.

"Bride, please put a ring on the groom."

Su Siqi put the rest on Shen Mengqing's ring finger.

Father Chen shook the hands of Shen Mengqing and Su Siqi and said, "In the name of the Holy Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I declare that you are married, and God has united you, and no one can be separated. He paused, and the smile on his face deepened: "Groom, now you can kiss your bride." ”

Shen Mengqing really picked up her face and kissed it.

Su Siqi's heart jumped, men often kissed her, but it was the first time to kiss in front of others...... This ritual really doesn't leave anything behind!

She was shy, but she didn't dare to struggle, because no bride would refuse a kiss at a wedding.

In the end, Fr. Chen carefully handed over the two certificates to them, and the ceremony was completed.

Su Siqi followed Shen Mengqing to the church gate in a daze, but the car that drove them was gone. She asked stupidly, "Where's the car?" ”

"That's the hotel car, take us here and go back."

"So where are we going now?"

Shen Mengqing raised his hand to look at the time: "Well, there is still some time, let's spend half a day on our honeymoon." ”

Su Siqi was not nervous when she came out of the church, and when she heard the man say this, she giggled, "Okay, it's a honeymoon, it's like the real thing, that priest is fake at first glance!" ”

"Who said it was fake, Father Chen is a serious priest, and ordinary people will not come forward to officiate at the wedding."

Su Siqi blinked: "What does priest priest mean?" ”

"Consider it the leader of the priests, the other priests and believers in the parish."

He ...... Why should you participate in this game? ”

"What game?" The man's face sank: "What do you think is a joke?" He held the certificate in his hand: "This is the real marriage certificate, we have pressed the handprint, don't think about it." ”

Su Siqi looked at the certificate in his hand that he didn't know a word, and stammered: "You, you mean it really?" We, this, this is considered married? ”

"Yes, married." The man nodded: "Internationally, this is recognized." ”

Su Siqi also has one in her hand, she carefully identified the words on it, but she still didn't know any of them: "It's not in English, what is written?" ”

"It's Greek, which means to prove that we are both legally married."

Su Siqi felt that she was dreaming, thinking that she was playing a game together, but she didn't expect to tie the knot in a daze.

The man frowned slightly: "You don't seem to be very happy?" ”

She lowered her head and snorted: "I thought it was ...... You're kidding. ”

"I'm not joking about getting married."

Su Siqi looked at her toes, her brown round-toed boots shining in the sun, she still couldn't believe it, so she tied the knot like a play! If you let the old man know, he would be scared to death, right?

"Really?"

Obviously the sun was shining, but the temperature around her dropped sharply, Su Siqi's heart was crossed, and she raised her head: "I am willing." ”

The man looked at her scrutinically: "If you want, just laugh." ”

Not laughing? She felt like she was laughing all the time, her teeth were exposed, wasn't it too exaggerated? Just as she was about to adjust, the man suddenly kissed her and blocked her lips tightly.

Behind them was the majestic cathedral, the stained glass on the heights refracted by the sunlight, like a series of rainbow lights.

Su Siqi squinted her eyes and admired the beautiful colored rainbow light, and the cold man bit her lightly, and muttered dissatisfiedly and vaguely, "Concentrate." ”

She chuckled and slowly closed her eyes.
