National Tide 1980

It was also a coincidence that Jiang Nianyun, who was supposed to be happily arranging the wedding arrangements at this time, like Yao Peifang, was actually worried about Ning Weimin.

Moreover, Jiang Nianyun was obviously more anxious than Yao Peifang, and the old lady was so anxious that she almost got angry.

If not for anything else, just because what she encountered was urgent.

Who would have thought that something would happen to an important person who was indispensable for picking up the bride today.

What's going on?

Dare to love the people from the capital who are particular about getting married.

According to local customs in the capital, there must be a marrying wife in the team going to the capital to pick up a bride.

This role not only has a valuable status, but also has the meaning of seeking good luck and blessing the newlyweds. It is related to the newlyweds' future happiness in life.

Therefore, it is necessary to be a harmonious person with parents, spouse, and children, also called a "full blessing person."

Jiang Nianyun, who knew the importance of this matter, naturally did not dare to neglect it. From the moment she decided to handle this matter, she began to look for suitable candidates.

But since she doesn't have many connections in Beijing, she can only choose from a limited number of people.

Originally, she thought Song Huagui was the most suitable candidate. His parents were here, he was a harmonious couple, and he had two children.

Although her husband is a foreigner from Bulgaria and not a native of the country, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko also have an international marriage.

So looking at it this way, there is nothing more suitable than asking her to be the bride.

But the problem is that the woman's side still lacks a bride-to-be.

Considering that Matsumoto Keiko was not a local, she had to move to the Pierre Cardin Hotel on the first day of her wedding and treat the room there as her parents' home. The husband would pick up the bride from there the next day.

So it is logical that Song Huagui was assigned to the woman and took on the responsibility of sending the bride to the bride.

Therefore, Jiang Nianyun had to find another wife on the man's side, which was even more difficult, because it was not easy to find someone with the same status as Song Huagui.

Anyway, let's look around. Jiang Nianyun later settled the matter with the wife of a city government official.

This official is the person who specializes in foreign investment and personally gives Yunyuan Hotel instructions on legal procedures and preferential policies.

Her wife is also a person who likes fun and is very happy about this matter. She is undoubtedly destined to be the limelight when she becomes the married wife.

Especially because she learned from Jiang Nianyun that Ning Weimin, the major shareholder of Yunyuan, was also a shareholder of Pierre Cardin Company, and that the bride married Japanese star Keiko Matsumoto, she felt even more honored and felt that this matter was enough to bring honor to her face.

Jiang Nianyun had a good idea. She invited this official's wife, whose status was equal to that of Song Huagui.

Moreover, it can also take the opportunity to deepen the relationship. If you win the favor of this lady, it will be easy to deal with any official matters in the future, which will definitely be beneficial to the development of Yunyuan.

However, sometimes things just go against people's expectations.

Just two days before the wedding, because the Asian Games were approaching, in order to prepare for the organizing committee, the Olympic Council of Asia suddenly sent people to China.

The official's schedule was completely disrupted by this major foreign affairs event.

Not only did he have to participate in consultations with people from the Olympic Council of Asia, but because foreign guests often brought their wives with them, he also had to bring his own wife.

How unfortunate is this?

It happened that the official and his wife were so busy with business that they forgot about their promise to Jiang Nianyun.

It wasn't until last night that the official's wife suddenly remembered her promise to Jiang Nianyun and asked her secretary to call and apologize.

The secretary said that because of the sudden incident, the official's wife could not accept the invitation, so the marriage had to be abandoned, which was a pity.

So Jiang Nianyun's claws naturally became numb.

In fact, when the matter came to this, it didn't matter whether she was wronged or not, whether she was to blame or not. The key was what to do now?

Looking for someone to replace?

Then she didn't have a suitable candidate, and she tried her best to find the wife herself.

Even her son Shen Cun was worried for her, "Mom, didn't Yunyuan arrange for two more actresses from Hong Kong to stay yesterday? I think the older one among them is very elegant and seems to be a relatively famous actor in Hong Kong. Ah. I heard that "Crazy Rich Asians" hired her to play the second female lead and to play the role of Zunlong's mother. And I think you and she seemed to have a good rapport. How about... let's ask her to help. good?"

"You mean Wang Mingquan? No, no, how can she do it? Although she is beautiful and famous, she doesn't even have children..."

Seeing Jiang Nianyun shaking her head and denying it without hesitation, Shen Cun could only say, "If it really doesn't work, you'd better discuss it with your cousin quickly. Although the old man doesn't like to deal with powerful people, no matter what you say, , I know the boss better than you, don’t I? For such a big matter, don’t worry about face, let’s work things out first to avoid making a fool of ourselves tomorrow.”

So Jiang Nianyun thought about it and told Kang Shude everything about the situation to see if he had the ability to invite any "Bodhisattva" to come to the rescue.

Kang Shude didn't expect that the marriage would reach this stage and that such trouble would arise, but it was hard to blame.

After all, such an accident is beyond human control.

You can't blame her for breaking the appointment, and you can't blame Jiang Nianyun for not doing things well.

To be honest, Shen Cun really looked up to him.

Because don’t forget, Quanfu is a woman, so how can we get to know him as a lonely old man?

So after thinking hard, he could only think of two people who could almost save him from this emergency.

One is Miao Yujuan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family in No. 2 Shaner Hutong, and the other is Liu Weijing, the daughter-in-law of Zhang Shihui.

But to be honest, these two are not satisfactory.

First of all, one of them is a female worker, and the other's husband is Song Huagui's subordinate. Their social status is definitely not comparable to Song Huagui.

Secondly, on the issue of offspring, due to policy restrictions, both of them have a son and lack a daughter.

For this reason, Kang Shude said to Jiang Nianyun very frankly, "If you have a better candidate, use yours. Anyway, I only have these two candidates, and I can't think of another one. And I have to remind you that if you want to use someone, you have to say hello quickly. As the old saying goes, three days for invitation, two days for call, never wait until tomorrow to "promote" someone again. Fortunately, these are all real relatives and friends. As long as we make it clear today, they will never stand idly by and watch us laugh."

Needless to say, things have come to this point, what else can we do?

Jiang Nianyun compromised and chose Miao Yujuan.

At least being older makes him look more stable, right?

And Liu Weijing is much older than Song Huagui.

So, that night, Kang Shude and the Luo family explained the situation to Luo Guangliang on the phone, and they needed Miao Yujuan to help them out. The matter of marrying a new wife was settled.

Jiang Nianyun finally felt more at ease.

But the problem is that good things take time. Look, the sun is high today, but no one has come yet.

How can Jiang Nianyun not be anxious? Her heart is hanging again.

She was restless and suppressed her anxiety until nine o'clock in the morning. She really couldn't wait any longer.

You know, the car will be sent to pick up the bride at the latest at ten o'clock, and she will have to put on makeup and dress up when she comes.

After thinking about it, she felt that Kang Shude might not have made things clear to others, so she ran to Kang Shude's courtyard.

She wanted to ask him if he knew the schedule here, and whether he had explained it clearly to the Luo family yesterday.

Unexpectedly, when she eagerly walked into Kang Shude's yard, she was surprised to see an incredible scene.

Kang Shude was moving things from the wing of the east house to the west house where he lived.

Especially for some reason, seeing him looking around with his back to the west, anxious and hurried, and running to the west house with things in his arms, he actually showed a sense of evasion and was not very upright.

Looking at the things he was moving, they were also big enough, and they were covered with a sheet, as if he deliberately didn't want people to see what they were, which made him even more evasive.

Those who knew that he was moving things in his own home would think he was stealing.

Because of such a strange thing, Jiang Nianyun put her purpose behind her and forgot it completely.

She approached quietly, opened the door gently, and followed Kang Shude into the house without a sound.

I saw Kang Shude put the things he had just brought in the inner room, and then he turned around and opened the closet, as if he was looking for a place to hide.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Jiang Nianyun finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

The result was that Kang Shude was shocked by his words.

He turned around and saw that it was her, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. "I said, why are you walking so quietly? You scared me. There was no sound when you opened the door."

"Oh, you blame me for this?"

Jiang Nianyun laughed, "What good stuff is this? You treat it like a treasure and hide it? If people see it, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Kang Shude said, "Don't hide it? People will laugh at me if I don't hide it. I wish I could hide it quickly and not let anyone see it. There are still many things in that room. It's just right that you are here. Help me put it in this room so that no one can see it. Tomorrow I will let Wei Min decide what to do."

"Hey, what do you mean? What on earth did you bring in? What makes you so mysterious? Could it be explosives?"

"What is it? A gift. But it's almost like explosives!"

Kang Shude still said unhappily, but this time he revealed the main culprit before Jiang Nianyun asked.

"That Zhang Shihui is such a headache. How vulgar! He is so vulgar! He actually sent something like this to Wei Min today. Come and take a look! How can such a thing be shown to others?"

As he said this, he lifted the sheet covering the thing, and a dragon boat that was about one meter long and one meter and twenty-three meters high was revealed.

The color of the dragon boat was quite beautiful, golden and a little red.

It was actually made of paper, with a pavilion on the boat and a sail on the mast.

From the perspective of origami crafts, it can be regarded as lifelike.

But from the perspective of a wedding gift, it is a bit like useless waste.

It must have taken a lot of time, but it is just of no practical use. In terms of craftsmanship and shape, it certainly cannot be compared with serious wood carvings, ivory carvings, stone carvings, and jade carvings.

To put it bluntly, it is a child's toy.

Jiang Nianyun was immediately happy, and without further ado, she advised him in a positive way, "Why are you angry? It's the child's gift, I think it's good, although it's not worth much, but it takes a lot of time to fold the paper, I think it will take at least ten days and a half to fold it into this shape. What do you dislike? I think Wei Min is not a materialistic person, he values ​​friendship more than material things, he naturally understands that the gift is small but the sentiment is great, he will not mind."

But it turned out that she was wrong. Kang Shude said, "Do I dislike the small gift? Take a closer look. What was it made of? I'm not saying that your eyesight is not very sharp!"

After hearing what he said, Jiang Nianyun had to look at it again. This time, she must have looked more carefully.

As it turned out, she could easily tell that it was something special.

"This, this... this, why are there numbers on it? Fifty? This... this, this... could this be..."

"Yes! That's right! This is made of banknotes! All the parts on this boat are made of the fourth set of new RMB banknotes issued by the country in April this year - fifty yuan. What can you say about Zhang Shihui! If you say he has no brains, he can actually come up with such an idea, and he can fold such a big thing with a fifty-yuan banknote! It's really unconventional. But if you say he has brains, doesn't he think about what it will look like to put such a thing in the bridal chamber! Is this decent? You say he doesn't think about it either, if today's guests see this vulgar thing, what will people think of Wei Min?"

Kang Shude's words really stunned Jiang Nianyun!

Just such a boat, that's at least 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.

It seems that if there are not a thousand banknotes, it is impossible to fold it.

It should be said that, whether from the heart or the amount of the gift, Ning Weimin is a very considerate friend, and he has done his best.

But it is just this form...

Don't say it, this taste is really low, it is really vulgar.

She has never seen such a mercenary thing in her life!

However, having said that, she still has to persuade him, "Forget it, why get angry about this. After all, you are still young, and sometimes you don't think carefully. But your heart is always good..."

However, Jiang Nianyun's words not only did not have the desired effect, but she was once again surprised by Kang Shude's next words.

"I know he means well. If it's just one or two, it's fine. I'm angry at Zhang Shihui, that brat. He actually tried to collude. He even gave this idea to others and asked everyone to do it together. Go to the east room and take a look. There are many big and small ones in that room. Gu Si'er, Xiao Tao, and even Guangliang are doing this! These brats are all troublesome. These are not just one or two boats. There are boats ranging from one cent to one hundred yuan. They are almost catching up with the Beiyang Fleet!" "Ah!" Jiang Nianyun was really shocked. If that's the case, how many boats would it take? If they are arranged from large to small, how much money would it cost to fold these dragon boats made of banknotes!
