Section 18 Scenery
The white Lincoln RV that was picking up the wedding has finally arrived. I wonder if this is the float provided by Kunlun Hotel for their wedding?
The crowds surrounding the foyer began to boil. Zhao Guodong consciously took Liu Ruotong and Linghu Chao and others back. This was a lively paradise for young people. Watching the doorman open the rear door of Lincoln RV, Lu Rui, who looked happy and charming, walked down, and there was a bridesmaid next to him. For a moment, Zhao Guodong seemed to be back to the moment he got married.
"Why, do you feel anything when you see it?" Liu Ruotong snuggled tightly to Zhao Guodong and asked softly.
"Well, maybe we should do it again, right?" Zhao Guodong fought back with a smile.
Liu Ruotong's face was hot again. Zhao Guodong's words had a rich meaning. It seemed that he and he had just crossed the last threshold of a formal couple. After so many years of marriage, they had not rarely had sex with each other. However, for some reason, both of them could survive these years.
A word left Liu Ruotong speechless. Zhao Guodong was in a good mood. Liu Ruotong rarely talked about her when talking to him, but when it comes to topics involving this, Liu Ruotong was far less "rich" than her own language.
With the arrival of the bride, the countdown of the wedding banquet entered. The groom and the bride stood in front of the foyer, smiling and waiting for guests from all sides.
According to the rules, if you think you have an extraordinary identity, you will start to send gifts first, and then enter the venue with your friends from both sides. Of course, parents of both sides are indispensable. After all, many guests come to their parents, and the invitations are also sent by their parents, which has formed a routine.
However, Lu Rui seemed a little thin in this regard. Seeing the Yang family's parents helping to greet the guests, almost all of them were well-known, and the gifts they presented were probably quite expensive. There were not many guests from the woman. At most, they were colleagues and friends in some of Lu Rui's units. Although no one cared about this on the surface, for some petty and thoughtful people, they naturally found the topic.
Zhao Guodong and his group were squeezed to the edge by the crowd that had been rioted before, and he didn't care. He even had the mentality of a bystander to see all this.
For him, his wedding seemed to end in a state of ignorance. He still didn't have much deep impression. Perhaps his mood at that time affected his attitude towards the wedding, so he was quite indifferent. Even when he recalled it now, he had no impression of many details.
Now that he saw Lu Rui's wedding, he seemed to have a kind of fragmentary memories that slowly dig into the depths of his memory, and recalled every bit of his wedding.
Although Lu Rui's face was still as bright as a flower, some of the words of some Yang relatives standing next to her still reached her ears.
She carefully put on makeup, but the discomfort in her heart was not gone for a long time.
Although the other party's conversations are true, the reality gap is still a bit hurtful. Lu Rui knows that Yang Ke doesn't care much about this, but his relatives seem to value this very much. Lu Rui even doubts that if she is not the secretary of the Deputy Minister of Culture but is just an ordinary company employee, will these people firmly oppose her marriage with Yang Ke, and will Yang Ke withstand the pressure from these people?
Walking out of the bathroom, Lu Rui adjusted her emotions and made her smile reappear on her face.
Guests are coming one after another, and Yang's family's guests account for more than 90%, and a considerable number of them are from Yang Ke's parents. Lu Rui tries to make her mood better. They say that during the marriage, her mood is easily affected by various small things, and maybe she is the same.
Gan Ping's arrival made Lu Rui feel much better. As the Deputy Minister of Culture, although he is a party cadre of the *** Party, it is necessary for Yang Ke's parents to treat him. Seeing Yang Ke's parents' humble expression in front of Gan Ping, Lu Rui found that her mood seemed to be much better all of a sudden.
Yang Ke saw the expression of joy from the heart on Lu Rui's face, and there seemed to be a spark that had never been seen before. He turned his head in surprise and saw two men and women walking over. The person who was in the first place had a faint smile on his face, while the woman next to him held the man's hand tightly, graceful and graceful, as if he had a unique temperament that was to be separated from the people around him.
"Lu Rui, congratulations, this is your other half, Xiao Yang, right?"
While Yang Ke was thinking about who this person was, Lu Rui was already in surprise and pulled herself to meet him, "Minister Zhao, are you here? Is this Ruotong? Linghu, Chu Li, are you here too? I thought you really had to wait until the wedding banquet began."
At this time, Lu Rui was as excited as if she had met her family, and hurriedly introduced to Yang Ke: "Yang Ke, this is my former senior, Minister Zhao. He is now working in the Organization Department of the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee. This one is Linghu Chao, my former colleague, and now the deputy county magistrate of Anyuan Guining County."
Yang Ke looked at the person in front of him in shock. Of course, he could not have known Zhao Guodong's name. He had also heard Lu Rui mention it, saying that Zhao Guodong was very young and was not a few years older than him. He is now the Minister of Organization. However, until he saw himself, he realized that he was completely different from the old-fashioned and conservative Organization Minister in his mind. Such a man who looked more like an ordinary clerk who was a certain unit was not very penetrating, but he really couldn't see anything special.
Yang Ke never thought that Zhao Guodong would come to Beijing from far south Yunnan to attend his and Lu Rui's wedding. This shocked him and was quite touched. No wonder this person was able to climb to such a high position so young, so naturally there was something extraordinary.
Shocked, Yang Ke immediately reacted and hurriedly held the other party's hand, "Hello Minister Zhao, I have heard of you from Lu Rui long ago. It is also a honor for me and Lu Rui to come to our wedding!"
Yang Ke still reacted quickly. While shook hands with Zhao Guodong, he greeted Linghu Chao again. Zhao Guodong and Linghu Chao also gave their own red envelopes of congratulations. This is human nature.
Several people were greeting each other, and Yang Ke’s parents had already started calling, “Yang Ke, Lu Rui, come here quickly, Mr. Lin is here!”
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Yang Ke's face, and Zhao Guodong waved his hand generously, "Xiao Yang, Lu Rui, today is your big happy event, hurry up, we can just go there ourselves."
Yang Ke quickly expressed his gratitude, and while using his eyes to signal Lu Rui to go over with him, Lu Rui was a little reluctant. Guests like Zhao Guodong are regarded as guests of honor everywhere, and at least they should be sent to the hall by two of them or other courtiers. However, at this moment, several groups of guests were busy, and it was a bit inappropriate to throw Zhao Guodong down.
"Okay, Lu Rui, go quickly. Yang Ke has passed, otherwise your future father-in-law will be angry!" Zhao Guodong glanced over there, and a black Audi A8 parked in front of the foyer. It seemed that he was also a character with a background. No wonder Yang Ke's parents were so nervous.
Lu Rui apologized with embarrassment and asked Zhao Guodong and others to go directly to the banquet hall to take the seat. Just now, Liu Ruotong looked over there thoughtfully and held Zhao Guodong's hand, "Guodong, have you not felt like this for a long time? When has our Minister Zhao become an optional foiling role? It's really a matter of human heart."
Zhao Guodong glared at Liu Ruotong, "You seem to be afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Do you think my mind will be so narrow?"
Princess Liu Ruotong smiled sweetly, and the Linghu Chao couple next to her also thought it was very interesting. People like Zhao Guodong were not surrounded by stars, but now there were only a few people around him. Even if they went in for a meal, they had to find a seat by themselves. This was the first time that was unprecedented.
The main entrance of the banquet hall of Kunlun Hotel is surrounded by a flower door, which is quite exquisite and beautiful. When two men and women, who should be friends of the groom, saw Zhao Guodong and his party walking over, they politely greeted the group and took them in.
When he entered the hall, there were crowds of people. It looked like most of the guests had come in. Zhao Guodong felt a little dizzy. He disliked the most in such occasions, especially now he had to find a seat by himself. Most of the seats were full. Of course, some tables were still vacant, and one or two seats were all considered to check for missing and fill in the gaps.
Linghu Chao and Chu Li were obviously much faster than Zhao Guodong and his wife to adapt to this kind of occasion, and soon found their own position. The table should be a guest from Andu. Linghu Chao happened to know one of the provincial governments, and should be a best friend who was quite strong with Lu Rui. He traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to attend Lu Rui's wedding banquet, so he naturally sat down.
