Chapter 450 I Love You(1/2)
Dingsi year, Gengxu month, Gengxu day.
Everything is appropriate today and there are no taboos.
It is autumn in October, the sun is shining brightly and the autumn breeze is gentle, making people feel refreshed.
The wedding of Guan Zhengfei and Xu Ruoqi is scheduled for 11 o'clock this morning, and the wedding ceremony will be held at St. Margaret's Church.
There are generally two ceremonies for getting married in Hong Kong, both of which are valid marriages recognized by law.
One is at the marriage registration office, where the registrar is responsible for officiating the marriage, and witnesses from both parties sign the marriage document.
The other is in the church, where the church priest serves as the marriage celebrant and presides over the wedding ceremony.
No matter which form of wedding is chosen, it needs to be held in the presence of two or more witnesses.
The traditional Chinese way of serving wine is considered a wedding ceremony, and is naturally not recognized by the law.
Lu Dongjie got dressed early in the morning and led the entire wedding team to the Guan family home.
Guan Zhengfei's home is an old-style tenement house in Yau Ma Tei. Today, it is decorated especially joyfully from the inside out.
This tenement house unit has a living room, a master bedroom, and two guest bedrooms. One of the bedrooms also needs to be built as a cubicle room.
From the lobby of the tenement building, looking out at the street scene, there is a broad vision, which will not make people feel dull.
Compared to housing estates in resettlement areas, where the entire residents use one public shower room, the environment here is pretty good.
Before the Hong Kong government built a large number of public housing, almost everyone except squatter residents were residents of tenement houses.
Many relatives and friends of the Guan family came here, and with the people Lu Dongjie brought over, there was almost extra space in the house for people to stay.
Therefore, a row of stools should be placed in the corridor for guests to rest, so as to avoid improper greetings and neglect.
Unlike the Lu family, which only has the son and Zhang Zhu, the Guan family is prosperous and has reached the average level of ordinary families in Hong Kong.
Guan Zhengfei is the eldest son of the family. He has two younger sisters who are about to graduate from middle school and a younger brother who is still in Form Three.
Guan's father was a sailor. He traveled to an unknown country and region more than ten years ago, and then there was no news from him.
Over the years, the Guan family has been raised by Guan's mother. It is not easy for an orphan and a widower.
Today is Guan's elder brother's big day. For this single-parent family, it is not too much to organize it in a grand and grand manner.
Guan's mother wore a dark blue satin cheongsam, paired with gold and silver jewelry, which made her look dignified and a bit noble.
She entertained the guests with a bright smile. Although she was so busy that she never had a moment to spare, there was still joy that could not be concealed on her face.
All the neighbors, whether they have any conflicts or not, came today to congratulate and say a few kind words.
The eldest son of the Guan family is now finally married, established and successful, and is proud and proud.
Ordinary people don't have the capital to put on such a big show, but it can't compare to having a wealthy cousin, who is envious.
Although their wedding room was located in a new house in Kowloon Tong, the wedding preparations were all done here.
At this time in the room, Guan Zhengfei was looking in the mirror, arranging his clothes with his hands, always feeling that something was wrong.
The suit he wears is custom-made by a tailor. It is made of fine cashmere material and matches the color of the tie very well.
Because he is relatively tall, he looks smart in a designer suit.
Lu Dongjie finally couldn't bear to look at it anymore, "Okay, okay, it's stylish and fashionable, and you won't be rude when you go out."
Guan Zhengfei continued to straighten his tie without looking back, "This is something you only do once in your life, how can you do it casually?"
Lu Dongjie smiled and said nothing. This usually carefree guy would also be nervous sometimes.
He turned his head and ordered: "Rongzi, please go outside and make arrangements. We will be ready to leave in ten minutes."
There are three best men today. In addition to Lu Dongjie, there is also this young man Zhang Guorong.
He has been very busy recently, and he has been working hard for his boss as always. He is always on call.
Although Zhang Guorong looked confused, he was not stupid. He helped his boss handle official and private matters, and he naturally had a backstage role in the entertainment industry.
In the spirit of making the best use of everything, Lu Dongjie also brought in a temporary advertising team to act as the wedding video team.
Even the entire wedding planning team was temporarily transferred from his record company and Tiantian Daily.
There will be a Western-style wedding in the morning, a small cocktail party at noon, and a grand wedding banquet in the evening.
With such an intensive arrangement, every link needs to be carefully and properly arranged. Lu Dongjie naturally does not have the head and six arms to handle it.
Therefore, mass power was mobilized and everyone brainstormed, with Lu Dongjie acting as the backstage commander.
No one had any problem with the boss wanting to use official equipment for personal use. We had food, drinks, a big bag of cash, and we didn't have to go to work, so why not do it.
"The auspicious time has come, let's go out to meet the bride."
Suddenly someone shouted, and there was a commotion in the room. Everyone rushed to get ready to go out to meet the bride.
There were more than a dozen cars in the convoy welcoming the bride today, among which two Rolls-Royces appeared as floats.
This formation naturally caused passers-by to guess which wealthy family was getting married.
In addition to using his own car as a float, Lu Dongjie also borrowed one from He Zuozhi.
Although Guan Zhengfei is a police officer, especially in this special period, there is no need to be so extravagant.
But these two cars have names and have been publicized on many occasions, so naturally there is no such scruple.
Sitting in the car, Lu Dongjie suddenly remembered an interesting anecdote. Sir Shao's Rolls-Royce was hit by someone a few days ago.
Fortunately, he was not in the car at the time, otherwise Rolls-Royce would have lost another important customer.
Vivian Hsu got married at her home on King's Road in North Point. The wedding convoy set off from Kowloon and went straight to North Point on Hong Kong Island.
The journey to the Xu Mansion was smooth sailing, all etiquette was followed, and then the bride was blocked from the bride's boudoir.
Zhang Guorong stepped forward and patted the door gently with a smile, "Girls, open the door, let's welcome the bride."
"Hmph, if you don't follow the rules, you can't even get in." A grunt came from across the door.
Lu Dongjie looked at the groom, who was still giggling, and pushed him, "Boss, do it."
Guan Zhengfei came back to his senses and took out a stack of red chips, "Girls, open the door and get lucky, everyone has a share."
The door suddenly opened a small gap, and Miss Lu stretched out her hand with a smile, "Bring it here!"
Guan Zhengfei hurriedly handed it over and smiled flatteringly, "Little cousin, please help me."
Lu Xiaomei took it with one hand and smiled coquettishly, "Cousin, we need to inspect the goods. You can wait here for a while."
"Bang" the door was mercilessly closed again.
Guan Zhengfei stood there rubbing his hands with a stiff smile on his face. He wanted to knock on the door to urge him but didn't dare.
After a while, Miss Lu opened the door again and showed her face, "No, sister said what you gave is not enough. You need to add icing on the cake."
Guan Zhengfei handed in a red envelope with a check and said with a smile on his face, "No problem, everything is up to you."
The girl's surprised voice came from inside, "Hey, nine hundred and ninety-nine, you have some new ideas."
Guan Zhengfei glanced at everyone with a smile on his face, telling them to be ready to rush in at any time.
"It's not enough to have new ideas. The most important thing is to have a heart. Sisters, don't you think so?"
"Yes, we agree, but we need to put some special thought into it so that we can let you embrace this beauty."
Listening to the voices of the girls discussing inside, it seems that they are not willing to let the groom succeed so easily, and have increased the difficulty.
Sure enough, the girl continued to shout towards the door: "Brother groom, did you hear that? The sisters all agreed, please express your gratitude quickly."
Guan Zhengfei stepped forward and approached the door, asking in a good voice: "Then what do you want?"
The girl thought for a while and said, "In ancient times, talented people matched poems with words, so if you just sing a love song for us, you will pass."
Guan Zhengfei was startled and waved his hands, "Singing? You can't. This is too difficult for me."
He winked at Lu Dongjie and asked the best man to be ready to help at any time. He felt that he could not handle these girls.
The girl said angrily: "This is out of discussion. If you want to take the bride away smoothly, this is the last hurdle."
Guan Zhengfei looked at the best man anxiously for help, signaling him to think of a solution quickly, and he was just about done.
Lu Dongjie made a silent gesture to him, giving him a hint and hinting him to take action quickly.
Guan Zhengfei grimaced when he heard this and shook his head desperately.
Lu Dongjie shrugged and said that it's up to you. You want to marry the bride anyway, so I'm not in a hurry.
The others burst into laughter, "Brother Fei, don't be afraid of being ugly. The auspicious time will pass soon."
Guan Zhengfei hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind and cleared his throat, "Then listen carefully."
All the girls in the room became quiet and listened carefully to what the groom was singing.
The onlookers outside stopped cheering and urging. They all folded their arms and prepared to watch the show.
Guan Zhengfei bit the bullet and started singing:
I can only say one sentence that contains my sincerity
Please recite poems with your heart, please~
