"Zhu Xi's Family Instructions" says: Those who are slanderous when they see wealth are the most shameful. Those who are arrogant when they are poor are nothing more despicable.
A small bureaucratic couple like Xu Bingquan and Yu Wanfen are undoubtedly a typical example in this world, a living portrayal.
The Hong family is naturally blessed to have such an in-law. Even if there is no fundamental friction in the future, disgust will definitely be inevitable. I'm afraid the only sensible thing to do is to be respectful and distant from them as much as possible.
Fortunately, the awkwardness of this day has finally come to an end.
Under the invisible pressure from the Hong family, the Xu family behaved themselves from top to bottom and restrained themselves a lot. No one looked down upon the in-laws any more, and no one dared to make trouble anymore.
Moreover, the "embarrassment" caused by self-humiliation is limited to Xu Bingquan and his wife's own psychological activities.
Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin have the same style as everyone else, and they treat others consistently. This not only makes Xu Bingquan and his wife look good, but also makes other guests feel as if they are not aware of it.
So the wedding ceremony that day went quite smoothly.
From Director Song as the officiant reading out the marriage certificate, to Li Fu leading the couple to bow, and then asking them to serve tea to their parents, and then Deputy Secretary Wang and District Chief He delivering congratulatory messages. Until the ceremony was completed, everything went smoothly.
.
Even the subsequent entertainment program had surprises far beyond expectations.
You know, not only are Zhou Manna and Su Xiaoming coming with Yang Weifan today, but there is also an additional guest, the young actor Cheng Lin who has just become famous in the group.
In addition, Shou Jingfang expressed his gratitude to the Yang family for his sincerity, but it was inconvenient to embarrass him in public, so he finally accepted the gift. Yang Weifan felt particularly happy.
In this way, after the wedding process is over, there will be a lot of fun in the Hong family courtyard.
In fact, Cheng Lin not only sang her famous work, "Little Snail Horn", which has been sung everywhere in Beijing recently. Yang Weifan and Su Xiaoming sang their latest hit song "Golden Shuttle and Silver Shuttle". Yu Wanyu performed Ying Jing'er's traditional auspicious opera
.Even in the end, forced by the situation, a close relative of the Hong family also spoke of Chrysostom.
So a special explanation needs to be made here.
First of all, the song "Golden and Silver Shuttle" has been popular for more than half a year since October last year.
But this time it was not plagiarism by Hong Yanwu. The reason why it was sung by Yang Weifan and Su Xiaoming was actually Hong Yanwu's "butterfly effect" that changed history.
It was precisely because of this boy that the pair of famous performing partners were created. As a result, once "Golden Shuttle and Silver Shuttle" was composed, the composer actually asked to sing the song to Yang Weifan and Su Xiaoming, instead of asking his boss.
Friends do it for you.
So by some strange combination of circumstances, the two classic songs that were originally supposed to belong to "Oriental Nightingale" became Yang Weifan's masterpieces.
Hong Yanwu is very proud of this. It should be said that he has a sense of accomplishment that he has become a superstar with one hand, and he is also greatly relieved.
Because if you follow this path, even without his special care, Yang Weifan will not be short of good songs to sing in the future.
Secondly, Yu Wanyu originally only planned to perform a piece of "Garden Gift" in which Wang Baochuan financed Xue Pinggui's love.
This scene is good, but it's a pity that it's just a female actor singing a cappella and it's too short. Many theatergoers didn't enjoy it and gave up.
So in order to get Yu Wanyu to sing a few more lines, and also wanted to listen to the next song "Colorful House Pei", everyone had to find someone to sing Xue Pinggui temporarily.
But no one had the ability to do this, and in the end because he didn't want everyone to be disappointed, Hong Lucheng finally asked Yuntai to do the job.
But what people really didn't expect was that Yuntai's bright voice, which is comparable to that of a famous actor, is simply hopeless.
These uncles from the Qingqing Hong family almost grew up in the theater when they were young.
In addition, the old lady of the Wanyan family also loves to watch plays, and she has her own stage in the half-acre garden. Many of the famous Liyuan masters who are now called "masters" have served their family's "ticket plays".
If it weren't for the strict control of the family, which only allowed ticket sales and no "going to the sea", in fact, Yuntai could have played a role. So this export is naturally good.
As the saying goes, if you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent.
Yu Wanyu was also energetic at this time. She and Yuntai sang each other's words almost perfectly, which was extremely enjoyable.
Think about it, the professional actors themselves feel good about it, but how do the audience feel?
It must be a big win. Even Mr. and Mrs. Smith didn’t know whether they really understood or pretended to understand, so they clapped their hands.
Just like that, the mood at the scene was high and the atmosphere was very lively. The atmosphere reached the climax without any pause.
While everyone was feasting their eyes and ears, Li Fu also arranged for people to prepare for the banquet.
Unknowingly, the teacups, teapots, melon seeds, peanuts, wedding candies, and wedding cigarettes were all removed one by one. Instead, the objects on the table were gradually replaced by a pot of red wine, a pot of white wine, and two plates of black pickles.
, one soy sauce pot and one vinegar pot.
Soon, in front of each seat, there was a four-inch cloth plate, a pair of chopsticks, a copper spoon, a small porcelain wine cup that could hold three coins of wine, a glass, and three or four pieces of white paper.
Keep it under the plate for guests to use.
When the "Five Star Beer" and "Polar Bear" soda that had been artificially chilled early were placed on the oil table next to them along with the iron buckets, the teahouse was completely transformed into an official seat.
In this way, the kitchen can officially start cooking.
Today's banquet consists of eight large bowls, four tables and four sweets.
The eight bowls are, in order, Yuanyang Kou (Yuanyang Kou with taro meat), fish in sauce, braised chicken nuggets, sea cucumbers braised with green onions, dried croquettes, water chestnuts and shrimps, crystal elbows, and chestnut cabbage.
The four-pressure table cold meat is, fish cubes with black bean sauce, barbecued pork, cold skin of shredded chicken, and pine flowers in vinegar sauce.
The four sweets are rose dates, fried red fruits, yam cakes, and milk rolls. The staple food is two large plates of steamed buns with the word Xi.
Even though Hong Yanwu's people had never done this before, after Li Fu's orderly division of labor and advance drills, there was no chaos at all.
On one side, there were people carrying vegetables from the kitchen to the oil table in the yard, shouting as they walked, "Excuse me, please turn around! Watch out for oil!" On the other side, there was a special person waiting at the table.
, and present the dishes from the oil table to each table one by one in order.
It should be said that by today's standards, these dishes are indeed simpler. Even before liberation, they could not compare to the "Four Four to the End" feast.
But in this day and age, eggs, poultry, fish and meat are all available, as well as seafood such as sea cucumbers and shrimps, which is already an extremely rich feast.
Of course, the key is that Chef Pang's skills are really outstanding. Not only the regular dishes are of good quality, but the rare thing is that the seafood, which is not Kouzi's specialty, is also cooked extremely well.
In particular, the dish "Roasted Sea Cucumber with Scallions" is on par with the old restaurant "Seafood Restaurant" in "Bincheng" and "Fengzeyuan" in Beijing.
Not only Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan and several "Hai Bangzi" were pleasantly surprised, but the ordinary guests also praised it endlessly.
Also, the four desserts were all made by Li Fu. Especially the two snacks, which were the special tea dishes of "Yanmeilou" that were famous in the capital.
You can’t eat it anywhere except Hong’s shop. Most of the guests have never tasted it, so how can it not be delicious?
So the whole courtyard was in a state of joy, changing cups and cups. No one was polite, and everyone was eating with great enthusiasm.
At this moment, the sunlight can almost reach the entire courtyard of the Hong family. Not only does it make the cups, plates and utensils on every table shine, but the dishes also make people more appetizing.
But soon, there was a new movement in the dazzling banquet. As usual, the family began to go from table to table to thank each other. The groom and the bride also came to toast, serve dishes, and say some kind words.
What's interesting is that every time after finishing a table, everyone can always hear Li Fu's energetic and concluding speech.
"That's so polite. I would like to thank you!"
Fierce, lively, and full of joy, this is how it is exaggerated to the extreme...
