Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Wedding Proceeds (Part II)
After finally retreating from these tables in the military, Chen Yang, who was in a state of confusion in his mind, could not rest for a moment, and was immediately dragged by his mother Li Duanyu and his third uncle Chen Yaoguo to the round table of heavyweights in several major economic provinces on the southeast coast, toasted the leader, and introduced him to him.
The south has always been an important territory of the Chen family, and the current secretary of the Nanyue Provincial Party Committee is Chen Yaoguo.
Although Chen Yang basically didn't know each other, he still toasted the leaders one by one. But it's all clichés, and there's really nothing to say.
For Chen Yaoguo, who was full of red light, the wedding celebration of Chen Yang and other juniors was simply regarded by him as a cocktail party to communicate with dignitaries from all over the world to enhance their feelings. No way, although most of these high-level people are old acquaintances with each other, there are actually not many opportunities to get together like today.
When he came to the table in Jiangnan Province, Chen Yang saw a lot of acquaintances he knew. Zhao Gang, secretary of the provincial party committee, personally congratulated him, but the governor Zhang Xiaolian did not come, but several members of the provincial standing committee still came.
There are two high-ranking officials Chen Yang who know and are familiar with.
One is Ding Jianguo's father, Deputy Secretary Ding, he is now the third person in Jiangnan Province, if Zhao Gang is a clear stream, then Deputy Secretary Ding is obviously a member of the Chen family, when Chen Yang was turn to toast him, he happily said a lot of blessings, and even made a few jokes about his son Ding Jianguo, which seemed very familiar. Of course, his son is now a friend of Chen Yang.
The other is Secretary Xiao of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection who has a good personal friendship with Deputy Secretary Ding, because of Xiang Jin's relationship, Secretary Xiao is really a little related to Chen Yang, but he didn't say anything, he didn't even drink wine, just nodded to Chen Yang, and said hello.
Chen Yang didn't care about this either, especially knowing that Secretary Xiao had been working on the front line of the Commission for Discipline Inspection for many years, and it was normal for him to have a straight face. Some time ago, I heard Xiang Jin say that when this month is over, Secretary Xiao will be transferred to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to work. It's good that this kind of cattle is willing to appreciate their faces.
At about half past eight, Chen Yang basically finished turning the banquet hall around, and the voice of the master of ceremonies sounded on the stage, announcing the official start of the wedding.
Chen Yang knew that the only time he would be the focus of attention at tonight's political conference had changed.
Although he doesn't really want to be the center of attention, the cutscenes still have to go.
When he walked quickly to the stage, Chen Ruonan, who was dressed in red, also slowly turned out of the backstage in the sound of celebratory and melodious strings, and appeared in front of everyone in a generous manner.
There was an amazement in the audience.
It's no wonder that Chen Ruonan was born brilliantly, and today he is even more special to dress up, looking traditional and fashionable, with his hair coiled high, green silk like clouds, beautiful and dignified.
Although she is not wearing a white wedding dress like an ordinary bride and holding a large bouquet of flowers, it is no exaggeration to say that as soon as she appears, she immediately makes people feel amazing.
The old men of the Chen and Li families were very pleased, and looked at Chen Ruonan who walked into the stage with a kind face, and many of the older generations sitting there were also the same, they all came from those eventful years of bullets and bullets.
As for Chen Yaohua and Li Duanyu, they couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts, and the two stood side by side arm in arm, watching the newcomer enter intently, and there was obviously something shiny in their eyes.
Chen Yang's mood was also difficult to calm down, looking at Chen Ruonan who was walking towards him, for some reason, for a moment, there was an indescribable trance and dazedness in his heart.
He remembered very well that the wedding in his previous life was much more lively than today, although there were not so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but they were some of his classmates and friends, and Chen Ruonan was also wearing such a red dress that day, so beautiful that she was like a fairy coming out of a painting, and she put on that gorgeous red dress, it was more like a white and proud snow lotus being entangled by the red glow, like a dream, bringing people an unforgettable shock.
Chen Ruonan seemed to be a little embarrassed to be stared at by everyone, holding his skirt lightly in one hand and speeding up his pace slightly.
She didn't know how many times she had imagined such a scene in her mind, and she was fully mentally prepared, but when it came to this day, at this moment, she still couldn't hide the excitement and nervousness in her heart.
Indeed, in life, there is only one wedding ceremony. Except, of course, for second marriages.
"You're dressed up beautifully today."
After Chen Ruonan held his hand, Chen Yang smiled and praised his bride.
Chen Ruonan glanced up at Chen Yang, but he didn't feel the slightest joy, but a little bit of loss.
Yes, although Chen Yang is very honest during this time, he has been talking about getting married, and he has not lingered in some clubs and bars anymore. But she actually knows very well in her heart that Chen Yang has been very unhappy these days, to be precise, I don't know when there has been a looming rift between the two.
This mode of respect for each other is definitely not what she wants, she would rather Chen Yang vent her unhappiness than hold it in her heart, even if it is like before, it is much better for the two of them not to say a word for a long time than now.
Soon, the master of ceremonies who presided over the wedding loudly announced that Chen Yang and Chen Ruonan were officially married in front of all the leaders.
As soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, the venue immediately resounded with warm applause and blessings.
And in front of the older generation, the two exchanged wedding rings with each other in this wave of applause.
The moment he put on the ring, Chen Yang sighed softly in his heart, what he thought in his mind was
Marriage is solemn and sacred, but the conscience of heaven and earth, at this moment, what he thinks of is indeed Xiang, Xian'er and so on.
After this most important ceremony is completed, the next step is to toast the leaders of each table in turn, as before. It's just that this time there is more Chen Ruonan.
However, to everyone's surprise, Comrade No. 2, who was the president of the Central Party School at the time, suddenly arrived during the wedding.
Before, the principal had asked Yu Qiang to transfer the congratulatory gift to Chen Yang, but at this time, he appeared at the wedding scene again.
Old Lady Chen and Old Man Li personally welcomed him into the banquet hall.
Chen Yang, who had been calm, finally couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and also pulled Chen Ruonan to take the initiative
The principal once again sent a painting of his own handwriting - "Grow old together".
There are not many words, and they are also very ordinary, but for Chen Yang, it is definitely the most important of all the gifts.
"Xiao Chen, I wish you two to grow old together and be united forever."
The headmaster had a kind smile on his face, in fact, he was only in his early fifties at this time.
Chen Yang didn't know what to say, just nodded vigorously. And he also noticed that when the principal talked to him cordially, the old man's eyes never left, and even had some unclear doubts.
The old man has been in the political arena for all these years, and he can naturally see whose world is in the future.
Indeed, with the rector officially taking over the most important scepter of the republic in the past two thousand years, the regiment will also become an important political force that no faction dares to underestimate, and it will officially enter the stage of history.
The appearance of the principal made Chen Yang's mood rise after being in the doldrums for more than two months, but soon, it dimmed again.
He knew very well that without the unreserved support of the Chen family, even if he had a deep background in the regimental lineage, he would definitely not be able to do Ye Cheng, who was also from the regimental line.
It's still the same old saying, what he wants to do is hegemony rather than career.
Next, the principal and several members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau, including Mr. Chen, went to the back hall to talk, and the wedding continued, and then Chen Yang only remembered that he was toasting at one table, although it was Moutai mixed with water, but after a cup of water, Chen Yang gradually became numb, and he couldn't hear Chen Ruonan on the side keep persuading him not to drink too much, but kept pouring himself until he finally became unconscious
By the time Chen Yang came to his senses, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.
Of course, he has already returned to his mother's new home for Zhang Luo some time ago.
His new home is located in Diamond Hill in the capital, not to mention the decoration or something, the location sits in the south and faces the north, with the mountains and the sea in the back, which is definitely a feng shui treasure.
There was a dim lamp in the bedroom, and at this moment, Chen Ruonan was sitting in front of the dresser, carefully removing the expensive set of jewelry he was wearing today.
In addition to the earrings, this set of jewelry is Li Duanyu's dowry back then, a set of antiques that are some years old. Legend has it that it was once used by the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Chen Yang stretched out his hand and pressed the swollen head, glanced at Chen Ruonan in front of the dresser, frowned and asked, "What time is it?" After asking, I couldn't help coughing a few times, and my stomach twitched uncomfortably.
Chen Ruonan tilted her head, and was busy removing the shiny earrings nailed to her earlobes, when she heard Chen Yang's question and uncomfortable dry cough behind her, she immediately frowned, hurriedly stopped what she was doing, got up from the low stool, and hurriedly ran back to the bed to sit down.
With a hook of his foot, he hooked out the basin that had been prepared earlier, and then helped Chen Yang up from the bed, reached out and patted Chen Yang's back, and at the same time took the hot tea next to him and fed it to Chen Yang, while frowning and saying with a displeased face: "Hurry up... Bell, I told you not to drink it, you just didn't listen, now you know it's wrong, you stay in bed honestly, and I'll go to the kitchen to help you cook some sobering soup later. ”
Chen Yang's throat was uncomfortable and he couldn't speak, but he couldn't spit it out, but fortunately, with Chen Ruonan's service, he drank a sip of hot tea, which was better.
When Chen Yang got better, Chen Ruonan got up and went outside.
Seeing that Chen Ruonan was busy, Chen Yang was a little stunned in his heart, his head was dizzy, and he simply fell down. (! )
