Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Happy birthday, daughter-in-law."

Early in the morning.

Yang Yukun handed a brocade box to Xu Jingping. This was the birthday gift he prepared for Xu Jingping.

Today is the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, Xu Jingping’s birthday.

"I'm one year older." Xu Jingping said with a smile. Before she knew it, she was already 33 years old this year.

"Not old at all. My wife is always eighteen. I am always eighteen too."

"As one wishes."

"Qianlong wrote a poem as he wished."

Xu Jingping likes jade ornaments and jade ruyi.

Over the years, Yang Yukun has bought a lot of jade ruyi and mountain ornaments and other items to give to her.

"Let's go to Sister Hou's house." Xu Jingping put the gifts away, called the children, and the family set off for Hou Su'e's house.

Many neighbors have already arrived. After all the neighbors who came to help arrived, Yang Yukun began to arrange everyone to work.

The wine and beverages for his disciple and his wife's wedding were provided by him, their master.

He had already taken out the wine from his portable planting space, and prepared a thousand kilograms of Eight Immortals Drunk and Vast Sea Nectar, so that everyone could drink to their heart's content.

First, we arranged for a few people to go to his house to bring over tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, drinks and other things, and the kitchen also started to get busy preparing breakfast for everyone.

After breakfast, the neighbors who helped out performed their duties according to the arrangements, and those who had nothing to do gathered together to play cards and chat.

After breakfast, Yang Yukun and his party prepared to set off for Sichuan.

"Have you prepared everything you need? You must not leave anything behind. It will be troublesome if you leave anything behind on such a long journey."

"Xiao Kun, take a look."

"It's all done. Let's go. Don't delay any longer. Let's go."

"Let's go pick up the bride."

"Xiao Zongzi, Pingping, Xiao Yumi, Daddy and Mommy are going to pick up your brother Xiaohua and his wife. Grandpa and grandma will be back in the afternoon."

"Dad, Mom, we will listen to grandpa and grandma."

"Good boy."

"Xiaohua doesn't know anything. You should teach him more."

"Master, I'm here, so you can rest assured. I will ensure that your granddaughter-in-law is brought back smoothly."

"With you here, I am relieved."

"Boy, I hope you still remember the rules I taught you, how to kowtow, burn incense, pass cigarettes... Do you still remember?"

"Master, I remember it."

"Just remember it and go."

Yang Yukun and Liu Yunguang each drove a car, and a group of six people set off for the Imperial Capital Airport.

The person in charge of the wedding videography is an experienced master from Mona Lisa Photo Studio.

Zhang Bei knew that he needed a wedding videographer, so he specially sent a veteran photographer from the Mona Lisa Photo Studio's Qiongzhou Island Photography Base with the best equipment.

This veteran has had many experiences in shooting weddings and his technique is very steady.

The car drove directly into the Imperial Capital Airport and was driven to the Kunping private plane.

"Master Liang, you've worked hard. Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

The cameraman's surname is Liang, he is in his forties and works at the Mona Lisa Photo Studio's Qiongzhou Island branch.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang. I have filmed dozens of weddings, but this is the first time I took a private plane to pick up the bride."

The task of filming the wedding was assigned to him personally by his boss Zhang Bei.

Before setting off, Zhang Bei specifically told him to give his 200% effort and that he would give him a bonus after completing the mission.

In recent years, Master Liang has been involved in many wedding photography jobs, but this is the first time he has taken a private jet to pick up the bride.

This private jet is so luxurious and big, even bigger than the commercial airliner he took.

He didn't know Yang Yukun's specific physical identity, but he knew that a person who could own a private jet must not be an ordinary person.

"Don't be shy. Lao Zhang and I are very good friends. We have known each other for almost twenty years."

"Director Yang and our boss have known each other for so long?"

"Yes, when I met Lao Zhang, he was still the manager of the Imperial Capital Public Photo Studio, and I often went to the Dabei Photo Studio where he worked to develop photos.

Because I have good photography skills, he also wanted me to work as a photography instructor at Dabei Photo Studio.

At the end of September 1981, Lao Zhang resigned from Dabei Photo Studio and opened the first Mona Lisa Photo Studio in Dashilan.

"We now have 36 stores across the country, and we have also started international travel photography."

"Mr. Zhang is really capable. In just ten years, he has developed Mona Lisa Photo Studio into the number one chain store in the country."

After the plane took off, Yang Yukun chatted with Master Liang for a while.

It takes about three hours to fly from the imperial capital to Rongcheng, and it will arrive around two o'clock in the afternoon. The few of them talked about some details of the wedding again.

This was Yang Yukun’s first time as a groom-to-be’s escort, and he felt a little nervous, after all, he had never experienced this before.

"Director Yang, the plane is about to land at Rongcheng Airport. Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts."

"it is good."

After two and a half hours of flight, the Kunping private plane landed at Rongcheng Airport. The group did not get off the plane, but drove directly out of the airport and headed straight for Yandu.

The entire journey from Rongcheng to Yandu is about 200 kilometers. There is no expressway yet, so it took three and a half hours. It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that Yang Yukun and his team arrived at Gao Min's home.

"Brother-in-law, take out the cannon and light it."

When they were almost at Gao Min's house, Yang Yukun stopped the car and asked Liu Yunguang to take out the prepared firecrackers and light them.

The firecrackers were bought at a store in Yandu. It was inconvenient to bring them all the way from the capital.

"it is good."

Liu Yunguang took the firecrackers down from the car.

"Leave some, don't use them all up. You'll need them when you pick Xiao Gao up tomorrow."

"I almost forgot, how much should I leave?"

"Leave half."

"it is good."

"Let's order. I'm hungry. I don't know if my in-laws have left any food for us."

"Master, don't worry. Sister Gao said she left some food for us. You won't starve."

It's five o'clock now and the banquet will start at half past three.

When the banquet started, Gao Min called him and asked where they were.

"Clicked."

"Click."

"Crackling... bang bang bang..."

After hearing the firecrackers on their side, firecrackers were also heard on the woman's side.

The car could drive directly to the bride's yard. Before Yang Yukun and his party got out of the car, Gao Min's parents and their party came to meet them.

"In-laws, we are here." Yang Yukun greeted Gao's father and mother with a smile.

Before, when his disciple came to report the date, he and Xu Jingping had come to his disciple's wife's house once.

"You have worked hard on the journey, come in and sit down."

"Dad, Mom, I'm here to pick up Sister Gao."

"it is good."

"Smoke, smoke..." Liu Yunguang took out cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, two cigarettes per person, in pairs.

"Xiaohua, Dad, Mom, Master, and Master's Wife." Gao Min ran out of the house.

"Hey, my brother-in-law is here."

"Brother-in-law is here to pick up Sister Xiaomin."

"Brother-in-law, where is the red envelope?"

Liu Yuehua laughed and said, "No way, you want a red envelope now?"

"Give me a big red envelope now, and I will give you a few fewer glasses of wine tomorrow and not participate in blocking the door."

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law, give us the red envelope now. When Xiao Min goes out tomorrow morning, we will not block the door, but open it for you."

"whee……."

"Is this true or not? You are not allowed to lie to me."

"Brother-in-law, you are an Olympic boxing champion. How dare we lie to you?"

"Remember to open the door for me." Liu Yuehua took out a stack of red envelopes and distributed them to the group of sisters-in-law, and also gave one to each of the little ones who were watching.

This time when he came to pick up the bride, he prepared enough red envelopes. After he distributed them to his father, mother, master and mistress, there were still some left.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. Don't worry, I will open the door for you tomorrow morning when you pick up Sister Xiaomin."

"It's agreed."

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely keep my word."

After chatting for a while, the food was heated up in the kitchen, and Gao's father invited Yang Yukun and his party to have dinner.

Knowing that Yang Yukun could drink a lot, Gao's father specially found a few brothers from the same village who were good at talking and drinking to drink with Yang Yukun and his friends.

"Is this Xiao Min's boyfriend's master? He can really drink. Both the deaf man and the drunkard are drunk."

"He drank at least five kilograms of corn liquor, but his face didn't even turn red, and he didn't feel drunk at all. His alcohol tolerance is really scary."

The neighbors, relatives and friends who came to help were amazed at Yang Yukun's drinking capacity when they saw that he drank five pounds of roasted corn without even blushing.

There are people in the village who can drink five catties of corn liquor, but there is no one who can drink it so calmly.

Corn liquor at over 60 degrees is just like drinking boiled water.

After eating and drinking, Yang Yukun and his companions chatted with Gao's father and mother.

As for that boy, he followed Gao Min and some of her cousins ​​from the village to go fishing and catching crabs in the river.

The weather had been dry for a while and the water in the river was not deep, with the deepest point not reaching the thigh level.

In addition, it is the hottest time of June, and the evening is a good time to go to the river to fish and catch crabs.

This kid was not the first time to come to Gao Min's house, and he had already become familiar with his cousins ​​in the village.

Even though I came here to pick up my wife this time, it was just a formality. Just like the previous times I came here to play, I would not become nervous or restrained just because I would be picking up my wife tomorrow. (End of this chapter)
