December 26 is the tenth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar.
Nine twenty minutes in the morning.
Holy Trinity Church.
Representative Gu and his wife greeted the guests with a smile.
In fact, they were extremely anxious.
In about half an hour, the wedding will officially begin, and Gu Qingcheng is still missing.
Most of the guests who came to the wedding were relatives and friends of the Gu family.
Although he is the only Chinese detective in the British Concession, the gap between Representative Xu Siqi and Representative Gu is obvious when it comes to status.
Gu Linglong quickly came to her parents and said anxiously: "The wedding is about to start, and Qingcheng hasn't come back yet. What should I do? Father, mother, can you make up your mind?"
Representative Gu frowned and racked his brains but couldn't come up with a good solution.
Mrs. Gu suddenly said: "This matter can't wait any longer... Linglong, please hurry up and prepare."
"What are you preparing for?" Gu Linglong was confused.
Mrs. Gu said: "Hold your sister's wedding."
Gu Linglong was stunned and speechless.
Mrs. Gu said: "The guests are here. Anyway, let's deal with the situation first. It's just a ceremony, nothing more. Maybe Qingcheng will be back in the next minute. There is no other way to deal with the situation first.
Already."
Representative Gu couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He certainly understood the meaning of "obeying authority in urgent matters".
Gu Gongguan was marrying off his daughter, but the bride stayed out all night and missed the auspicious time. If this spread, it would become a joke on the streets.
In order to save the face of the mansion, I can only do this now.
Moreover, Representative Gu is away from the country all year round, so Mrs. Gu basically has the final say on everything inside and outside the Gu residence.
The mother suggested it, but the father acquiesced. Gu Linglong could only obey unconditionally. She was a filial child.
Change shoes, wedding dress, freshen up, everything will be ready soon.
Xu Siqi was completely in the dark about Gu Qingcheng's affairs.
I received a call from Gu Linglong last night, saying that my sister had had a few too many drinks and had already fallen asleep when she got home.
Xu Siqi didn't think much about it.
With Gu Qingcheng's character, it's not surprising that this happened.
At this moment, he solemnly stood aside with Xu Siqi and said in a low voice: "Basically all the leading figures in Shanghai are here. I heard that many distinguished guests also came from Nanjing, and people were appointed to send congratulatory gifts... Tsk, tsk, Si
Qi, you are so proud!"
"It's not my face, it's Gu Gongguan's face." Xu Siqi said calmly.
"It's all the same. As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats. For example, Gu Mansion is like water, and you are like a boat..." He said solemnly and gestured.
Xu Siqi interrupted: "Have you received Wu Yanhui?"
"Got it."
"how do you feel?"
"It's okay, she looks quite shrewd. What do you care about on the big day... It's here, it's here, the bride is here! Sister Gu is so beautiful today!"
Gu Linglong, wearing a white wedding dress, held her father's arm and walked slowly into the church to the sound of "Wedding March".
Under the attention of everyone, Representative Gu stopped.
"Qingcheng is the apple of my eye. I have taken care of her for twenty-one years. Now, I leave her to you. No matter what kind of ups and downs you go through, whether you will be poor or rich in the future, I hope that you will always be able to love each other and work together.
Live a long life." Representative Gu said to Xu Siqi.
Xu Siqi said respectfully: "I will."
Representative Gu patted the back of his daughter's hand and said Wen Yan, "Go ahead."
Even though she was going through the motions for her sister, Gu Linglong almost shed tears after listening to her father's words.
She took Xu Siqi's arm, and the two of them walked toward the pastor.
"Wedding March" stirred people's hearts, and was surrounded by the blessing eyes of relatives and friends.
In a daze, Gu Linglong had the illusion that this was her wedding...
Xu Siqi suddenly asked: "What happened?"
"..."
"I mean, where is Qingcheng?"
"Don't worry. She'll be back soon."
"last night……"
"She drank too much and stayed at a classmate's house..."
Xu Siqi could understand the Gu family's approach.
Dignity is always one of the things that important people value most.
The pastor held the Bible in his hand, stood in front of Xu Siqi and Gu Linglong, and said loudly: "Mr. Xu Siqi, Ms. Gu Qingcheng, may God bless you. Today, the church gathers in front of God and performs holy sacrifices for you in the church.
Another grand wedding. Marriage is blessed, sacred, and extremely precious, so it should not be taken lightly. It should be respectful, grateful, and devoutly swear an oath before God to fulfill the requirements of Christian marriage..."
"Mr. Xu Siqi, on behalf of the church, I ask you in front of the most high, holy, pure and loving God, are you willing to sincerely marry Gu Qingcheng, obey God's commandments, and live a godly life with her for the rest of your life, no matter what happiness or happiness?
Poverty, rich or poor, prosperous or adverse, healthy or weak, you help her, care for her, love her wholeheartedly, build a family with her faithfully throughout your life, glorify God and benefit people, are you willing?"
"I do."
"Okay. Xu Siqi, are you willing to accept Ms. Gu Qingcheng as your legal wife?"
"I do."
"Ms. Gu Qingcheng, are you willing to accept Mr. Xu Siqi as your legal husband?"
"I do."
"Please exchange wedding rings."
"In the name of God, I now declare that you are officially legally married! Xu Siqi, you can kiss your wife."
Xu Siqi hesitated for a moment, then kissed Gu Linglong's lips gently like a dragonfly.
He solemnly said with a smile: "The groom is obviously not pious enough. This is too confusing. Should we do it again?"
"He seems to be right," the pastor said with a smile.
Xu Siqi felt quite embarrassed.
After all, Gu Linglong was just going through the motions for her sister.
Formal things are easy to deal with. Kissing between a man and a woman is not a casual thing.
The guests all stood up and looked at the two people with smiles.
Gu Linglong blushed and whispered to Xu Siqi: "It doesn't matter, just think of me as Qingcheng..."
Xu Siqi took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and leaned down... (18,600 words omitted here)
The guests responded with warm applause.
Zheng Zheng was suddenly curious about what Gu Linglong would look like at this moment.
He stretched his neck and looked around, but did not see Gu Linglong's figure. He couldn't help but murmured: "Strange, where did Gu Xiaoniu go?"
Representative Gu frowned, glanced at Mrs. Gu, and whispered: "How do I feel, Linglong and Xu Siqi..."
"Your feeling is right. I will talk to you in detail about this later."
