Agents of the Republic of China

The sixth day of June was the wedding date arranged by the Dong family for Lin Xiaotang and Dong Jiayi.

Earlier, Lin Xiaotang quietly rushed back to Thailand from Myanmar, contacted Fatty Shen, Datou and others, and carefully planned the action of proposing to Dong Jiayi. Daughter became his fiancée.

During that time, the guests frantically flocking into Dong's mansion were organized by Datou, Fatty Shen, and Ma Qixiang and his wife who were running around in Thailand.Of course, most of them came from the admiration of the Dong family's transcendent status in Thailand, and people from various factions of the national government were always paying attention to Lin Xiaotang's every move, and thus knew the reason why Lin Xiaotang rushed back to Bangkok urgently, so So he couldn't wait to pay a visit, hoping to further win over Lin Xiaotang and the Dong family behind him in this way.

And the Japanese also followed closely. Lin Xiaotang didn't expect to come to the door to give gifts. When Dong Jiayi mentioned it, Lin Xiaotang realized that this might be Takashimasuke's way of expressing his gratitude. Lin Xiaotang felt relieved. After all, the Japanese do not take advantage of it.

The Dong family has a history of nearly 300 years in Thailand. Although they are Chinese, they also pay great attention to local customs and traditions.Ever since he learned that Lin Xiaotang proposed to his daughter in this way, Mr. Dong Zhennan was a little dissatisfied. This was not because he had any objections to the marriage contract between the two, but rather that he did not agree with the process of the proposal. In the eyes of an elderly man like him, even if two people are engaged, they must follow the corresponding traditions and rituals.

So from a month ago, the two performed the marriage proposal and engagement ceremony again in accordance with Thai customs, and the old man smiled happily.

On the day of the wedding, a highly respected elder of the Thai royal family specially invited many eminent monks from Bangkok to Dong’s house to attend the wedding ceremony, bless the couple, and give Dong Jiayi and Lin Xiaotang a small royal manor on the outskirts of Bangkok as a gift. For the Dong family, it is definitely a supreme honor.

According to the custom in Thailand, the salutation starts at four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the weather is not too hot, and the sea breeze is blowing, which does not have a cool and refreshing feeling.

From the bottom of his heart, Lin Xiaotang disliked these cumbersome customs the most. Originally, when the eldest brother and sister-in-law got married, they set up two tables of banquets at home, and invited some acquaintances and friends to come to the house. Admire this simplistic ritual.

But now, in Thailand, Dong Jiayi's family is a prominent local family, and a large number of dignitaries from the political, business and even the royal family will come to congratulate her, and the wedding must be carried out in accordance with local customs.There is no way, in order to successfully marry a beautiful woman, Lin Xiaotang had to hold his nose and admit it.

The tedious wedding went on until the evening. The two knelt on the low couch in the new house, accepting the blessings of the guests, wearing double happiness gauze rings from the guests on their heads.

The double-happiness yarn circle is also called "auspicious yarn circle". It is two yarn circles made of yarn, which are as big as the mouth of a bowl. Another holy yarn connects the two yarn circles and the holy water bowl, and then passes through the hands of every monk attending the wedding.The double happiness gauze circle should be worn on the heads of the bride and groom respectively by the wedding host or the elders of both parties before the sprinkling ceremony.Thais believe that after the monks read the scriptures or spells, they will produce a certain amount of mana.According to the custom of the Thai people, if the groom's gauze is taken off first, it indicates that the husband will take over the power of the family in the future; if the bride's gauze is taken off first, the wife will be in charge.So Ma Qixiang specially reminded Lin Xiaotang before the wedding that he must find a way to let the elder take off the one on his head first, so as to save everything from looking at his wife's eyes in the future.But Lin Xiaotang always felt that he was talking about himself. I heard that after he married Miss Ji's family, he was often taught by his wife, and all the previous bad habits disappeared.

After wearing the double happiness gauze ring, it is the most sacred watering ceremony in the wedding.Before sprinkling water, Lin Xiaotang and Lin Xiaotang first lit incense and worshiped Buddha, and then both sat on the prepared low couch with their heads facing the prescribed direction.The two put their palms together and stretched out forward, ready to receive the water, and there is a basin of receiving water below.The host of the sprinkling ceremony sprinkled snail water on the hands of Lin Xiaotang and the two, wishing the newlyweds love each other and grow old together.Then the guests who attended the wedding came forward one by one to sprinkle water to bless the two, and then the relatives sprinkled water to bless them.Finally, Yugong, who is the elder of the groom Lin Xiaotang, took the auspicious yarn coils for the couple and ended the watering ceremony.

After the moment was over, relatives and friends left the room temporarily, leaving only Lin Xiaotang and Dong Jiayi, as well as their parents and elders. The servants placed coconut wine and worship cloths. After worshiping the ancestors and gods, the next step is to kneel down and worship the parents and elders of both parties.

Lin Xiaotang's parents were long gone, and his eldest brother and sister-in-law also passed away in Nanjing, so Yugong Zeng Yijiang became Lin Xiaotang's elder without hesitation.

Seeing the two newlyweds in full attire bow down in front of him, Yu Gong's heart was ups and downs, but his eyes were a little wet unconsciously, and he suddenly felt a deep regret in his heart.Back then, I didn't attend my daughter's wedding because I was angry, and I didn't even send a congratulatory gift. Now that I think about it, I realize that I was a bit too much at the beginning. Until now, I want to save it, but it is no longer possible.

Sensing Yugong's melancholy, Dong Zhennan, who was sitting beside him, stretched out his palm and patted Yugong's shoulder, "Old guy, don't think about those unhappy things, Youzhong is your nephew and your child, today is his You can’t shed tears on a happy day, you know?”

Yugong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiled and nodded, "Do you still need to remind me? I'm so happy!"

Dong Zhennan burst out laughing, "That's right, we people are happy to be grateful for our enemies. When we were young, there were winds and rains, swords and swords, but we just wanted to get drunk. Why bother to be entangled in pride by ordinary things!"

Dong Zhennan looked at Lin Xiaotang, "That matter, I just made a suggestion, have you discussed it with Jiayi?"

Lin Xiaotang and Dong Jiayi looked at each other, Dong Jiayi's face flushed slightly, but they still nodded firmly.

"What's the matter?" Yu Gong was taken aback, "I said Dong Zhennan, you are not allowed to talk about business now, Xiaoqi and Jiayi just got married...!"

Dong Zhennan waved his hand, "Let Youzhong talk to you!"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaotang adjusted his posture, knelt in the direction of Yugong, and took Dong Jiayi's hand, "Jiang Bo, Jiayi and I have discussed that our first boy will be named Zeng !"

"Ah!" Yugong's hands trembled, and the life in his hands fell on the floor. Chang Yao behind him hurriedly supported him, but he looked at Lin Xiaotang with surprise and gratitude.

Dong Zhennan gave Yugong a white look, "You old fellow, I find that you are not as good as you were then, but you were adopted as a child of our family, so you are going to be like this?"

"Old Dong, are you really sure that you want to adopt Xiao Qi and his children to me?" Yu grabbed Dong Zhennan's arm.

Dong Zhennan sighed, "Old Zeng, we are not too young now, what we are looking for now is the safety and joy of our children, Sun Nandi and his daughter are in love with each other, do you think this makes sense? I have been an old brother for decades, and I still I don't understand the pain in your heart. In the early years, I followed Mr. Zhongshan to fight all over the world. Now that I am old, let these young people do these things. Yuehua and Xiaojun left early, and they didn't leave a son and a half. Youzhong is Xiaojun's younger brother, that is, your son, and if his child comes to you in the future, he will also be your grandson!"

Dong Zhennan pointed to Chang Yao, "In these years, you and A Yao have been two people, and the two old guys will inevitably think about some things in the past when they get together. I'm afraid that the more you think about it, the faster your body will grow old. So Well, I just came up with this idea, and as you have seen, Yuzhong and his wife also agree that the child will be handed over to you to raise the child after the age of three, and the abilities of you and Ayao have also been rejected. Bring it into the coffin, it’s all cheaper than my grandson, haha!”

Amidst Dong Zhennan's laughter, Yu Gong and Chang Yao couldn't help crying, they understood Dong Zhennan's intentions very well, he wanted to leave a bloodline for Zeng Yijiang and the Zeng family!

Soon, Yu Gong also laughed, "Okay, it's a deal, I won't go there when my grandson is born, I will stay in Bangkok and teach him to read and write with Ayao. You can't keep anything private at all, and give it all to him, and I dare not say that for him to achieve a great career, at least he must be a man of indomitable spirit!"

As soon as the ceremony was over, Yu Gong and Chang Yao, who were in a good mood, took Dong Zhennan to the banquet to have a good drink. Then, Lin Xiaotang in the new room looked at Dong Jiayi, who was slim and graceful like a fairy in a painting, in the new room. The mind is distracted.

But it didn't happen, and before he could say a word to Dong Jiayi, Dong Jiayi's cousin, cousin, and several aunts rushed in, followed by Datou and others with a smirk on their faces.

Lin Xiaotang was a little confused at the time, "What is this for? Where are you taking my wife?"

Dong Jiayi's aunts were taken aback, "Grandpa, did no one tell you? According to the local customs in Thailand, the bride and groom are not allowed to share the same room on the first day of marriage. The groom has to guard the new room alone until the auspicious day a few days later. The bride was sent to the bridal chamber!"

"There are still such foolish rules?!" Lin Xiaotang was stunned for a moment.

A group of female relatives immediately sneered.Dong Jiayi smiled and pursed her lips, "Stupid!" As she said, Dong Jiayi took out two sets of pajamas and pajamas that had already been folded from the cabinet behind the bed and handed them to Lin Xiaotang, gently whispering in his ear, "Don't worry, I will be back on the ninth day of the lunar new year!"

Lin Xiaotang sat down on the carpet, "What! I will guard the bridal chamber for three days!"

Dong Jiayi and a group of female family members backed out with smiles, Datou, Ma Qixiang, Jason, Guo Zhui and others rushed in, Datou's mouth could not wait to grin to his ears, "You are stupid, you are scared, you kid? Recruit! This is a thousand-year-old rule in Thailand. Do you think it’s so easy for a girl like a flower to enter the bridal chamber with you? Seventh, don’t do anything these three days, just stay with your brothers drink it!"

Ma Qixiang shook his head, "Hey, if you suffer, you will gain wisdom!"
