It was also a coincidence that Jiang Nianyun, who was supposed to be happily arranging the wedding arrangements at this time, like Yao Peifang, was actually worried about Ning Weimin.
Moreover, Jiang Nianyun was obviously more anxious than Yao Peifang, and the old lady was so anxious that she almost got angry.
Not for anything else, just because the matter she encountered was urgent.
Who would have thought that something would happen to an important person who was indispensable for picking up the bride today.
What's going on?
If you dare to love someone from the capital, marrying someone from the capital has the same values as the people from the capital.
According to local customs in the capital, there must be a marrying wife in the team going to the capital to pick up a bride.
This role not only has a valuable status, but also has the meaning of seeking good luck and blessing the newlyweds, and is related to the newlyweds' future happiness.
Therefore, it is necessary to be a harmonious person with parents, spouse, and children, also called a "full blessing person."
Jiang Nianyun, who understood the importance of this matter, naturally did not dare to neglect it. From the moment she decided to handle this matter, she began to look for suitable candidates.
But since she doesn't have many connections in Beijing, she can only choose from a limited number of people.
Originally, she thought that Song Huagui was the most suitable candidate. His parents were here, he was a harmonious couple, and he had two children.
Although her husband is a foreigner from Bulgaria and not a native of the country, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko also have an international marriage.
So looking at it this way, there is nothing more suitable than asking her to be the bride.
But the problem is that the woman still lacks a bride-to-be.
Considering that Matsumoto Keiko was not a local, she had to move to the Pierre Cardin Hotel on the first day of her wedding, treating the room there as her parents' home, and the man would go there to pick up the bride the next day.
So it is only natural that Song Huagui was assigned to the woman and took on the responsibility of giving birth to his wife.
Therefore, Jiang Nianyun had to find a wife on the man's side, which was even more difficult, because it was not easy to find someone with the same status as Song Huagui.
Anyway, let's look around. Jiang Nianyun later settled the matter with the wife of a city government official.
This official is the person who specializes in foreign-related investments and personally gives Yunyuan Hotel instructions on legal procedures and preferential policies.
Her wife is also a person who likes fun and is very happy about this matter. She is undoubtedly destined to be in the limelight when she becomes the married wife.
Especially because she learned from Jiang Nianyun that Ning Weimin, the major shareholder of Yunyuan, was also a shareholder of Pierre Cardin Company, and that the bride married Japanese star Keiko Matsumoto, she felt even more honored and felt that this matter was enough to bring honor to her face.
Jiang Nianyun had a good idea. In inviting this official's wife, her status was equal to that of Song Huagui.
Moreover, it can also take the opportunity to deepen the relationship. If you win the favor of this lady, it will be easy to discuss any official matters in the future, which will definitely be beneficial to the development of Yunyuan.
However, sometimes things just happen to go against people's expectations.
Just two days before the wedding, because the Asian Games were approaching, in order to prepare for the organizing committee, the Olympic Council of Asia suddenly sent people to China.
The official's schedule was completely disrupted by this major foreign affairs event.
Not only did he have to participate in consultations with people from the Olympic Council of Asia, but because foreign guests often brought their wives with them, he also had to bring his own wife.
How unfortunate is this?
It happened that the official and his wife were so busy with business that they forgot about their promise to Jiang Nianyun.
It wasn't until last night that the official's wife suddenly remembered her promise to Jiang Nianyun and asked her secretary to call her to apologize.
The secretary said that due to the sudden incident, the official's wife could not accept the invitation, so the marriage had to be abandoned, which was a great regret.
So Jiang Nianyun's claws naturally became numb.
In fact, when this matter comes to this, it doesn't matter whether she was wronged or not, whether she is to blame or not, the key is what to do now?
Looking for someone to replace?
Then she didn't have a suitable candidate, and she tried her best to find the wife herself.
Even her son Shen Cun was worried for her, "Mom, didn't Yunyuan arrange for two more actresses from Hong Kong to stay yesterday? The older one seems to me to be very elegant and seems to be a relatively famous actor in Hong Kong.
Ah. I heard that "Crazy Rich Asians" hired her to play the second female lead and to play the role of Zunlong's mother. And I think you and her seem to be very compatible when talking to each other. How about... let's ask her to help.
good?"
"You mean Wang Mingquan? No, no, how can she do it? Although she is beautiful and famous, she doesn't even have children..."
Seeing Jiang Nianyun shaking her head and denying it without hesitation, Shen Cun could only say, "If it doesn't work out, you'd better discuss it with your cousin quickly. Although the old man doesn't like to deal with powerful people, no matter what you say,
, I know the bosses in the capital better than you, right? For such a big matter, don’t worry about face, it’s better to sum it up and resolve the matter first, so as not to make a joke tomorrow.”
So Jiang Nianyun thought about it and told Kang Shude everything about the situation to see if he had the ability to invite any "Bodhisattva" to come to the rescue.
Kang Shude also didn't expect that the marriage would come to this stage and such trouble would arise, but it was hard to blame.
After all, such an accident is beyond human control.
We can neither blame her for breaking the appointment nor blame Jiang Nianyun for not doing things well.
To be honest, Shen Cun really thought highly of him.
Because don’t forget, Quanfu is a woman, so how can we get to know him as a lonely old man?
So after thinking hard, he could only think of two people who could almost save him from this emergency.
One is Miao Yujuan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family in No. 2 Courtyard of Shan'er Hutong, and the other is Liu Weijing, Zhang Shihui's daughter-in-law.
But there is one thing to say, these two people are far from satisfactory.
First of all, one of them is a female worker, and the other’s husband is Song Huagui’s subordinate. Their social status is definitely not comparable to Song Huagui’s.
Secondly, regarding the issue of heirs, due to policy restrictions, both of them have a son and lack a daughter.
For this reason, Kang Shude also spoke frankly to Jiang Nianyun, "If you have a better candidate, use yours. Anyway, these are the only two candidates I have, and I can't think of one more. And I have to
Let me remind you, if you want to use someone, you have to say hello quickly. As the old saying goes, three days to invite and two days to shout, don't wait until tomorrow to 'pick up' someone again. Fortunately, these are all relatives and friends who are really living a good life. Today, I only need
Once you understand what you said, you will never stand idly by and watch our jokes."
Needless to say, things have come to this, what else can be done?
Jiang Nianyun chose Miao Yujuan because of the expediency of the two.
At least being older makes you look more stable, right?
And there is a big age difference between Liu Weijing and Song Huagui.
In this way, that night, they called Luo Guangliang and paged her. Kang Shude and the Luo family explained the situation clearly on the phone and that Miao Yujuan was needed to come to the rescue. The matter of marrying his wife was settled.
Jiang Nianyun finally felt more at ease.
But the problem is that good things take a long time. No, the sun is high today and there are still no people coming.
So Jiang Nianyun couldn't be more anxious, her heart suddenly became anxious again.
She was restless and suppressed her anxiety until nine o'clock in the morning. She couldn't wait any longer.
You know, the car will leave here at ten o'clock at the latest to pick up the bride, and when the person arrives, you have to put on makeup and dress up.
After much deliberation, she felt that Kang Shude might have failed to explain things clearly to others, so she rushed to Kang Shude's courtyard.
She just wanted to ask him if he knew the time arrangement here and whether he had made it clear to the Luo family yesterday.
Unexpectedly, when she eagerly walked into Kang Shude's yard, she was unexpectedly surprised and saw an incredible scene.
Kang Shude was moving things from the wing of the east room to the west room where he lived.
You Qi didn't know why, but looking at him with his back on his back, looking around, hurriedly rushing to the west room with his things in his arms, he seemed to be dodging and dodging, and not very upright.
Looking at the things he moved, they were quite big and covered with sheets. It seemed that he deliberately didn't want people to see what they were, which made it even more secretive.
What you know is that he was moving items in his own home, but those who don't know must think that he is a thief.
Just because she encountered such a strange thing, Jiang Nianyun put her purpose behind her mind and forgot all about herself.
She approached quietly, opened the door gently, and followed Kang Shude into the house without making any sound.
I saw Kang Shude put the things he just brought over in the back room, turned around and opened the cabinet, as if he was looking for a place to hide them.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing this scene, Jiang Nianyun finally couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.
As a result, Kang Shude was shocked by his words.
When he turned around and saw it was her, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I said, why are you walking so silently? It scared me. Even when I opened the door, there was no movement."
"Hey, is it my fault?"
Jiang Nianyun was amused, "What a good thing, you treat it like a treasure, and you want to hide it? If people see it, you are not afraid of others laughing at it."
Who knew that Kang Shude said, "Don't hide it? It would be a joke if you didn't hide it. I wish I could hide it quickly without seeing anyone. There are many things in the house. You came just in time to help me get in."
Enter this house and don't let others see you. Tomorrow I'll let Weimin make up his own mind about what to do."
"Hey, what did you say? What on earth did you bring in? To make you so mysterious? Could it be explosives?"
"What is it? A gift. But it's almost the same as explosives!"
Kang Shude still said angrily, but this time he revealed the main perpetrator before Jiang Nianyun took the initiative to ask.
"That Zhang Shihui is really a headache. How vulgar! He is so vulgar! He actually sent something like this to Wei Min today. Come and take a look! How can such a thing be seen by people?"
With that said, he opened the sheet covering the thing, and a dragon boat that was about one meter in length and one meter and a half in height was revealed.
The color of the dragon boat is quite beautiful, golden and a little red.
It is actually made of paper, with a pavilion on the boat and a sail on the mast.
From the perspective of origami crafts, it is also very lifelike.
But as a wedding gift, it's a bit like useless trash.
It should take a lot of effort, but it is of no practical use. In terms of craftsmanship and shape, it certainly cannot be compared with serious wood carvings, ivory carvings, stone carvings, and jade carvings.
To put it bluntly, it’s just like a kid’s thing.
Jiang Nianyun was immediately happy, and tried to persuade her not to look too much, "Why are you angry about this? It's also the child's wish. I think it's quite good. Although it's not worth it, the origami effort is quite time-consuming. Come to think of it,
It would take ten and a half months to fold like this. Why do you dislike it? I think Wei Min is not a philistine. He values friendship more than material things. He naturally understands that etiquette is more important than affection, so he won't mind.
"
But it turned out that she was wrong, and she heard Kang Shude say, "Am I dissatisfied with the etiquette? I said you should take a closer look, what is this folded with? I'm not telling you, your eyes are a bit strange."
What a great inspiration!"
Hearing what he said, Jiang Nianyun had no choice but to look at it more intently. This time she must have looked more seriously.
The result was really good, and it was easy to see that it was unusual.
"This...hey, why are there numbers on it? Fifty? This...this...could this be..."
"Yes! That's right! This is made of banknotes! All the parts on this boat are the fourth set of new RMB banknotes just issued by the country in April this year - fifty yuan. What do you think of this Zhang Shihui?
! You have to say that he has no brains, but he actually came up with such an idea, and actually used fifty yuan bills to fold out such a big thing! It’s really unconventional. But you want to say that he has a brain, right? He just
He doesn’t want to think about what it would look like to put something like this in a new house! Isn’t this appropriate? You said he doesn’t want to think about it, if today’s guests see such a vulgar thing, how will they think about protecting the people?”
Jiang Nianyun was really stunned by Kang Shude's words!
Just such a boat would cost at least 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
It seems that if you don't have a thousand or so banknotes, you won't be able to fold them.
It should be said that no matter from the perspective of his intentions or the size of the gift, Ning Weimin is a very interesting friend, and he has done a good job.
But this is the form...
Don't tell me, this style is really low and vulgar.
She has never seen such a philistine thing in her life!
But having said that, I still have to persuade, "Forget it, why bother getting angry about this matter. After all, we are still young people, and sometimes we do things without thinking carefully. But our hearts are always good..."
However, Jiang Nianyun's words not only failed to have the desired effect, but she was once again surprised by what Kang Shude said next.
"I also know it's a good intention. It's just one or two things. I'm angry with Zhang Shihui, a brat, for actually engaging in a series of connections. He also gave others this idea and asked everyone to do it together. You go to the east room and see
Look, there are several large and small ones in the room. Gu Si'er, Xiao Tao, and even Guang Liang are all here to do this! Just these brats, no one can worry about it. This is not just one or two.
Ships range from a penny to a hundred dollars, and they are almost catching up with the Beiyang Navy!"
"ah!"
Jiang Nianyun was really shocked now.
If that's the case, how many ships will we need?
If we arrange them in order from big to small, how much money will these dragon boats folded with banknotes cost?
