The solemn and majestic military compound on weekdays ushered in the enthusiasm and noise that has not been seen for a long time tonight. The flamboyant fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the inside and outside of the compound were decorated with lights and festoons. The red silk is shining brightly under the light, looking around, the eyes are full of joy!Even the vigilant soldiers hung up garlands and greeted visitors from all directions with smiles on their faces!

The Jin family courtyard located in the middle of the military compound was even more crowded with laughter and joy.Jin Xueliang let go of his majesty and sternness, laughed loudly from time to time, and went to the gate to welcome the guests from all walks of life and accept the blessings of the visitors.

4, night, engagement banquet!

Marriage night between the Jin family in Hubei and the Lin family in Beijing!

As early as during the Spring Festival, high-level executives from all walks of life in China received this surprising and even shocking news. Jin Xueliang met Lin Guoxiong, and the two families... married!

Four generations of the Lin family in the capital have been in politics, and until now three of them have entered the top leadership of the central government.The new generation Lin Yuebin is shrewd and capable, with a profound city mansion. He is recognized as the prince of the capital with a great reputation.

The Jin family in Hubei changed from government to army in the early years, and now the family members are all over the top of the two major armies in Hubei. Jin Xueliang's father, Jin Yongquan, was successfully awarded the rank of general three years ago, and the status of the Jin family rose again, becoming an upstart in the military circle.In addition, the Jin family has a close relationship with the Nangong family, the eight major families in the business world, which invisibly enhanced its status in the military world.Jin Xueliang's daughter, Jin Yixuan, is not only as beautiful as a lotus, but also versatile and intelligent. She is a rare woman in the new generation who combines beauty and intelligence.

This marriage has been widely recognized among their relatives and friends. Lin Yuebin's affection for Jin Yixuan is no longer a secret. The beauty he can embrace this time naturally receives warm congratulations from friends. The Jin family has long had a good impression of Lin Yuebin, let alone The couple will be blocked, and the title of "golden boy and jade girl, a perfect match" is given to this couple, and they are envied by many young men and women. You must know how difficult it is to marry someone you like and admire in such a big family.

However, the most important point of this marriage is the benefits brought about by the union of the two families. The Jin family joins the army, the Lin family joins the government, and the Nangong family is a friend in the business world. The alliance of the three major families will definitely affect the vital interests of many people Moreover, the formation of the political, commercial and military united front is not conducive to the stability of the national power structure.Therefore, this marriage has been obstructed by many parties from the very beginning, and even the central government has intervened. However, this time, the attitudes of the old men of the Jin family and the old men of the Lin family are extremely tough, and all the obstacles failed in the end.

Engagement night... finally arrived as scheduled! !

"Haha, Brother Jin, I'm really envious of getting this son-in-law." At the gate, several former friends patted Jin Xueliang on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

"You guys haven't seen me for more than two years. You should be punished. You must be fined. You must give me a few more drinks tonight." Jin Xueliang deliberately put on a straight face, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be stopped.

"Brothers give up their lives to accompany the gentleman tonight, as long as Brother Jin dares to get drunk, we brothers will dare to drink tonight." They patted their chests and promised.

"Haha, have a good time!! I remember your words, go in first, and I will find you to fight for wine later." Jin Xueliang greeted the younger generation of the family to lead a few friends in, and the smile on his face piled up again. He clasped his hands and quickly walked towards the couple who came over: "Guoxiong, brother and sister, you are here."

Lin Guoxiong, who was dressed in a Tang suit and showed a refined demeanor, hurried over with a smile and held hands with Jin Xueliang: "Brother Jin has been waiting for a long time, oops, we are in a hurry, but the plane was delayed a bit, sorry, sorry. "

Lin Guoxiong's wife smiled apologetically: "We have to apologize to you first. The old man was scheduled to come tonight, but suddenly the old problem of back pain happened again, and he was so painful that he couldn't straighten up. So tonight At once……"

Jin Xueliang waved his hands again and again: "We will be our own family from now on, why are you being so polite. Tonight's engagement banquet was supposed to go to the capital, but...you know, the little girl has a stubborn temper, and said that the engagement must be at her own home. Go to the capital. At that time, her mother taught her, no matter where you come from my house, it’s all her own. Haha..."

"Yes, yes, they are all from my family." With a smile on his face, Lin Guoxiong held Jin Xueliang's hand tightly, and his usual majesty had long since disappeared.

"Uncle... No, Dad, hello." Lin Yuebin walked up under the signal of his mother, and bowed deeply to Jin Xueliang.

Jin Xueliang quickly pulled him up, and said with a smile, "I just said you're welcome, look... this kid is here again. Haha, let's go, let's go home first."

With Lin Guoxiong's arrival, tonight's banquet entered its first climax, with congratulations and bursts of laughter filling the entire courtyard.Today is just an engagement banquet, so Jin Xueliang invited friends who are close to each other. There is basically no restraint with each other. Abandoning the usual masks, tonight is only for friendship.

However, while congratulating many government officials who had never met Lin Guoxiong before, they also seized the opportunity to show themselves to the utmost. People who are valued by Jin Xueliang can't let go of such an opportunity. If they rely on the Jin family and gain the favor of Lin Guoxiong and other central magnates, their careers will surely embark on a broad road.

"Big brother, big brother, hey, I found you." Zhao Minghui, who had just arrived, rushed in front of Lin Yuebin.

"Who came with you?" Lin Yuebin left his father's circle and followed Zhao Minghui to the neighborhood.

"You're engaged, of course it's my parents who are here." Zhao Minghui looked around the bustling courtyard and smiled: "There are a lot of beauties tonight, do you want to have one last madness before the engagement?"

Lin Yuebin said angrily: "Don't come up with bad ideas, if my father-in-law sees it and takes his precious daughter back, I will be totally blind."

Zhao Minghui raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not married yet, so my father-in-law called me. How about it, I'm so beautiful now. Huh, let me just say, what should be yours is yours after all, what is that called Di?" You dare to fight with us? I don’t know what is good or bad, but I am still dead and can’t die anymore.”

Zhao Minghui's family background is prominent, and the news of Chixiang Prison's burial has naturally been known long ago. Although Di Cheng was not tortured to death, being buried alive is barely acceptable, so he was in a good mood. Invite friends.

However, before the burial in Chixiang Prison, the news that a large number of prisoners escaped was blocked by the high-level officials. They, young masters, did not know about it, nor did they know about the news that was blocked by the Jin family...Jin Yixuan once committed suicide because of Di Cheng's death. .

This marriage was proposed by the Jin family, and Zhao Minghui and others naturally thought that Jin Yixuan had changed his mind and accepted Lin Yuebin's feelings.Although Lin Yuebin always thought that something was wrong, his beloved woman was finally going to be his wife, and that joy buried all doubts.

"I don't want to hear the word Di Cheng again." Lin Yuebin's face changed slightly.

"They're already dead anyway, so what are you worried about?" Zhao Minghui shrugged, put his arms around Lin Yuebin's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Shall I help you find Jin Yixuan's room? See the bride in advance?"

"The people in the Jin family are staring at me. I don't want to be too impatient. When everyone is here, Yixuan will come out. Don't rush at such a short time." Lin Yuebin replied pretending to be relaxed, but the tension in his heart He was the only one who knew best, and he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the window on the second floor covered by the red cloth.

Wrapped in a fleece sweater, a little sad, the emaciated Jin Yixuan stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the noisy people outside the curtain.

Before I knew it, it was already April [-]th, and this day finally came.

Two lines of tears silently slid down the emaciated face, that year cardamom, who made the misty promise, the fate just started, but the yin and yang separated in a blink of an eye, is it a trick of fate, or the love is over.

The first time I smiled sincerely was because I met you and cuddled with you. The first time I cried sadly was because you left and you passed away. At this moment, I am smiling and crying because I can no longer have You, you can no longer have me.

Recalling the past, recalling the scenes of the trance, recalling that face, that figure, feeling the pain like a broken heart, Jin Yixuan's thin body trembled slightly.

You said you would come back to me, you said...

But...why...
