Chapter 184 Wedding
On August 8th, the courtyard of Qinchuan's house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and there was a joyous scene everywhere, because today will be Qinchuan's happy day!
Qin Chuan will hold a wedding today, which means that from today on, he will officially become a "married" man.
Regarding Qinchuan's wedding date, because Tang Yifei's family was far away in Peiping at that time, they did not interfere with the wedding date. Qinchuan's elder brother and sister-in-law set the wedding date at the end of July. However, due to the war, the Tang family came to Shanghai to seek refuge, so they naturally had some concerns about the wedding date.
According to the request, Mother Tang tactfully told Qin Chuan that although the date chosen by the Qin family was also very good, she had found someone to calculate that August 8 was an auspicious day for marriage.
Regarding the selection of the wedding date, Qin Chuan did not have any requirements. Regarding the so-called auspicious days, Qin Chuan, like his elder brother, did not object or advocate. Regarding Tang Mu's suggestion, the two of them naturally accepted it and corrected it immediately.
All invitations are withdrawn and then resent.
The atmosphere in Shanghai was enlightened. At this time, young people's weddings were held more openly and romantically than in later generations. As long as they received the marriage certificate, they could find a beautiful place to hold a song and dance party in a park or on the beach to celebrate.
, read out the marriage certificate on the spot and it will be considered a ceremony.
Of course, in hotels and restaurants, there are many people there to entertain guests and have a good meal, without the complicated etiquette of the past.
Regarding such new etiquette, Brother Qinchuan naturally cannot make the decision without authorization. He must discuss it with the Tang family. Fortunately, the Tang family is very open-minded and has no objection to these popular practices. He only proposes to serve tea to both parents and does not do anything else.
All complicated etiquette can be eliminated.
Regarding Qinchuan's wedding, apart from Brother Qinchuan, the most enthusiastic people were Mr. Du, Qi Lanfeng and Fu Sinan. After these three people discussed with the elder brother, according to Mr. Du's suggestion, the wedding venue was set up in the Concession Ma
The French Park on Sinan Road, also known as Gujiazhai Garden, has beautiful and quiet scenery. It is a typical French classical garden and the earliest park in Shanghai.
Just when Brother Qinchuan was still thinking about how to choose a spacious place in the park to hold the wedding, Mr. Du generously took care of it, saying that there was no need to go to such trouble. The park would be fully booked and he would find it.
The French say that the wedding will be in the form of a buffet, and all operating expenses will be borne by him, and this expense will be regarded as his gift.
The wedding was held grandly and smoothly. As soon as Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei's motorcade arrived at the gate of the park at eight o'clock in the morning, they could feel the strong festive atmosphere. First of all, both sides of the gate were crowded with people who loved to join in the fun. Among them
Most of them are young people and students, making the originally quiet Masinan Road very noisy. Qin Chuan estimates that most of these young people are his fans.
There were flower baskets on both sides of the main entrance, and a red carpet was laid from the entrance to the wedding venue. Both sides of the road were lined with relatives and friends of the Qin family, mainly from the Qinchuan side. There were not only off-duty personnel from the inspection room, but also "Global
When Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei passed by the staff of "Business Group" and "Life Herald" and students of Qin Chuan, bursts of flowers fell in the sky, and the newlyweds seemed to be walking in a sea of flowers.
Although it is a sunny and sunny day today, in the garden surrounded by green trees, it does not feel very hot. On the contrary, the fragrance of flowers, plants and trees permeates the air, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
The distinguished guests who came to watch the ceremony include Mr. Du and all members of the "Hengshe" in Shanghai headed by Lu Jingshi and Chen Guangfu, members of the "Qingping Club" headed by Yu Qiaqing, Zhou Yunqing and Yan Zhendong, as well as the "Spring and Autumn Go Association"
and "Spring and Autumn"
All members of the "Foundation" and the national Go players in Shanghai, as well as some professors from "St. John's University" headed by President Bu Hangji, and several major division chiefs of the Shanghai Police Headquarters headed by Deputy Director Zhen
and the directors of each branch.
Qi Lanfeng, Fu Sinan, and Wei Ningbo were naturally more likely to be present, and Fu Sinan and Wei Ningbo were not alone. They both brought their wives, and their wives were from the same family as Tang Yifei.
They were very familiar with each other, so the two of them rushed to Qin Chuan's house early to help Tang Yifei dress up and put on makeup.
Other distinguished guests include the owners of Shanghai's large and small cigarette dealers and dens and some gang leaders, as well as Xue Gengshen, Cheng Ziqing, Lu Liankui and other prominent figures in the concession. There are very few foreigners, only Smith and Little Mercedes.
, Satomi Fu, Cheng Tian Yuzhi and others, what surprised Qin Chuan was that Ji Yunqing also came to attend his wedding.
The wedding was held in a tree-lined glade, with a full set of Western bands playing. The wedding was hosted by Bu Hangji, president of St. John's University, with Wei Ningbo and Fu Sinan as witnesses.
After reading two people
After receiving the marriage certificate, Qin Chuan, who was wearing a white suit and red tie, and Tang Yifei, who was wearing a white wedding dress, served tea to Tang's father, Tang's mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the wedding process was completed.

From then on, it was completely in the form of a buffet. Among the green trees, there were more than a dozen snow-white tables filled with food, mainly various seasonal fruits, cold drinks and various Western pastries. Dozens of waiters pushed various dishes filled with them.
The trolley with special drinks is constantly shuttling among the crowd, so that guests can take drinks at will.
More than a hundred people in the inspection room who had been mixed in the crowd, led by Wang Xiaoyong, Li Mingzhe, Qian Tong, Liu Daoming and others, were wandering around among the chatting and laughing crowd with drinks or plates.
There are two tasks, one is to prevent assassins from borrowing
The other is to prohibit people from taking photos. Qin Chuan has always been very careful about his own photos. Although he knows very well that it is difficult to prevent the photos from leaking out. After all, candid photos cannot be avoided, but at least these candid photos will not
Feel free to flow out.
Not only were the people from the inspection room led by Wang Xiaoyong and others, there were also many of Mr. Du's subordinates mixed in the crowd. Judging by their faces, Qin Chuan estimated that there were at least dozens of them, all of whom were always paying attention to the movements among the guests.
After the wedding ceremony, the sister-in-law, Fu Sinan, Wei Ningbo’s wives, and Niu Meibo accompanied the smiling Mother Tang and Tang Yifei’s two sisters-in-law to talk.
Niu Meibo came here with Su Xiwen. She is indeed a famous social butterfly in Shanghai. With her around, Qi Feng immediately became more lively, making the old lady laugh happily.
After Mr. Du greeted some of the important guests who came to watch the ceremony, he, Wei Ningbo, Fu Sinan and others chatted and laughed with Tang's father. Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei still had no time to relax at this time, holding hands with each other.
You have to carry the wine glass around to greet the guests, accept their congratulations and blessings, and often take a sip.
Zhao Yi and Li Fei followed them closely, watching the surrounding situation vigilantly. For today's wedding, Zhao Yi and Jiao Huang had discussed it two days ago. In such a chaotic occasion today, they must ensure that
Qinchuan's safety.
The grand and grand scene of the wedding had already made Tang Yifei's cheeks flush with excitement. Her soft and smooth bare hands held Qin Chuan's hand tightly, for fear that Qin Chuan would run away if she let go.
The two finally moved to a small building near the wedding scene, which was a place dedicated to collecting gifts from guests. Xu Mingda, along with Tang Yifei's two brothers and a dozen people from the inspection room action team, were responsible for recording the collection.
When receiving gifts, they must put a label on each gift or gift and write down their name.
Tang Yifei's eldest brother was pretty good, but the second brother's face was already flushed with excitement. He never expected that his brother-in-law would be so prosperous in Shanghai. Not only did a large number of famous bosses and rich people in Shanghai come to
, the chiefs of the Shanghai Police Department were very polite to the people under my brother-in-law even when giving gifts.
The wedding did not end until after 11 noon. After returning home, Qin Chuan did not bother to greet Xu Mingda and others who were escorting them home. He ran alone to the bathroom upstairs and took a quick shower before going downstairs.<

This is their family's reunion dinner. This meal is not for the Qin family, including Tang Yifei's family. The adults and children are divided into two tables. One table is for their family members, and the other table is for Zhao Yi's several bodyguards and those two.
The female student who has been busy helping Tang Yifei since morning is with the maid.
Although the cook and two servants at home, as well as the two female assistants who had just graduated to help Tang Yifei organize Qin Chuan's novels, had already arrived at Qin's house, the food and drinks for this meal were still ordered from the hotel.<
/p>
Except for his eldest brother and sister-in-law, Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei's parents and his brother and sister-in-law all changed into looser clothes.
On this festive day, the bodyguards and domestic servants, including the two hired female assistants who have been helping Zhang Luo today, naturally have to express their feelings. This matter can only be done by the hostess Tang Yifei. Tang Yifei was on the spot.
A bulging red envelope was given to everyone. Each red envelope contained one hundred French coins, which Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei had agreed upon in advance.
The servant and the two Tang Yifei assistants who received the red envelope were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.
As for the children, including their nephew who was already studying at St. John's College Preparatory School, each of them was given the same red envelope. Under the urging of the adults, the children happily came to Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei and called their uncle affectionately.
and aunt.
Since both Qin Chuan and Tang Yifei drank some red wine at the wedding, Tang Yifei's face was still flushed and she looked even more beautiful, so Qin Chuan, Tang Yifei and their sister-in-law all chose beer, while the eldest brother accompanied Qin Chuan's "father-in-law"
"Mother-in-law" and two uncles opened a bottle of fine Fenjiu worth more than fifty yuan, and just drank a small glass of wine. "Father-in-law", who had been smiling all day today, solemnly said to Qin
Chuan said.
"Son-in-law, Mr. Du is really a generous believer. He has such a big career, but he is busy with you. I heard from your elder brother that he spent a lot of money to arrange this wedding for you. We must remember this friendship.
Come on!"
Qin Chuan really didn't know how much it would cost to organize such a wedding, so he couldn't help but look at his elder brother.
The eldest brother smiled bitterly and said, "Kawako, don't say anything else, but those drinks, except beer, are all imported wines, champagne, brandy, and red wine. Each of them is valuable. I quietly asked someone about this wedding.
The cost was no less than 200,000 yuan, not to mention that he sent more than a hundred apprentices to maintain the safety of the wedding venue."
"Two hundred thousand!" The eldest brother's words made "father-in-law" almost jump in shock.
Tang Zhennan, Tang Yifei's second brother, took over the words excitedly, "Father, you are so scared of two hundred thousand yuan. You don't know that the American is so heroic. His gift was six hundred and sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six yuan. He was so scared on the spot."
I reported it myself, and the people who gave the gifts were so surprised that they kept pointing and talking about the American. I heard that the American was a real estate tycoon, and it was he who developed this house for my brother-in-law."
"Also, those police chiefs, some have tens of thousands, some have hundreds of thousands, but these people are very careful, they always leave after handing over gifts. If you don't believe it, the gift slip is at my sister's place.
The gifts are all in my brother-in-law's study. In addition to French currency, they are American and British money and some jewelry. The rest are hundreds of large yellow croakers, all of which are pure gold."
Tang Zhennan's words not only shocked Tang Yifei's father's face, but Tang's mother and Tang Yifei's two sisters-in-law also covered their mouths with their hands in surprise. Even the usually calm eldest brother Tang Zhenbei was shocked.
Smith's gift of 660,000 yuan was given by Qin Chuan to his sister-in-law for two purposes. One was to let people, especially the bank where Smith took the loan, know that Smith was very rich; the other was to show others that Qin Chuan
Having a special relationship with this American will make it easier for Qin Chuan to help solve any troubles in the future.
Before the eldest brother could speak, the eldest sister-in-law said with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, our family has shares in the real estate company founded by the rich American man. He was very busy when he opened the company Kawako, and now this villa is Kawako Flower."
I bought it from him for 600,000 yuan. He
I owe Kawako a favor, so these gifts are not too much, and he is very rich. He has developed a large piece of real estate behind this with tens of thousands of residences. If he rents it out, the monthly rent will be
Several million, this amount of money is nothing to him."
Tang Yifei was afraid that she could not explain clearly, so she asked her father to reprimand Qin Chuan on this happy day, and hurriedly said, "Mom, Dad, although Chuanzi is the deputy general manager in the company, the chairman and general manager are not interested in anything."
, the company’s affairs are all handled by Kawako. Those police chiefs and those rich people have either received gifts from Kawako or have business dealings with them.”
With the explanation from the sister-in-law and Tang Yifei, the "father-in-law and mother-in-law" family finally felt relieved.
After the eldest brother toasted Qin Chuan's father-in-law for two more glasses of wine, he said to Qin Chuan, "Kuanzi, it's not convenient or safe to keep so much money at home. Just deposit it all in Citibank and I'll convert it into US dollars for you.
The same goes for those gold bars. The safe at your home can't fit them either. Just leave some for emergencies."
