On the Seven Towers

As spring draws to a close, the weather has warmed up in the Black Hills.

On a sunny morning, many people gathered in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Hewan New Town. They were all here to attend a wedding. A few months ago, when most of the functional groups had been registered as ministries, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was also established at the same time. The secretariat of the committee was finally not responsible for matters as minor as approving marriages.

The crowd gathered outside the Civil Affairs Bureau today is divided into two categories. The first category is Chinese people who are very modernly dressed, including Xiao Chen, Luo Ling, Ye Zi, Tang Feng, Li Tianrui, Liu Yisheng, and even the vice chairman of the committee like Chang Lin. exist. The other group is the locals wearing traditional green dresses. One of them, a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous short robe, a cape, and a ceremonial sword, turned out to be Count Carlos, who had left the royal capital long ago.

At this time, the count's excitement was palpable, and he looked beaming and reluctant to leave. Most of the people surrounding him were nobles subordinate to the Earl of Montenegro. These people looked intently at the two people who had just stepped into the door of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They were Li Jia and Selinda.

Today Li Jia is wearing a suit brought from Earth, which makes him look sunny and handsome. Selinda was wearing the small green floral dress that Li Jia gave him. According to local customs, the man's clothes should be brown when getting married, and the woman's clothes should be green. They are two kinds of earth. Mother gives birth to the color of life, so this dress with past memories is suitable for the occasion.

The two walked into the small auditorium of the Civil Affairs Department specially used for weddings. In front of the auditorium was a small podium. Guo Qian, chairman of the committee, was standing behind it, waiting for the two to come.

The auditorium is very small, less than thirty square meters, and there are no seats in it. Li Jia and Selinda stood in front of the small podium, with other guests standing behind them.

Guo Qian looked at the two carefully dressed newcomers, smiled and congratulated: "Li Jia, Selinda, congratulations to you two. It's amazing that two people from different cultures and backgrounds can finally come together." I hope you can support each other, trust each other, and start a better life together. Now I want to ask you whether you are ready to face the difficulties you will encounter in the future. Can you understand your differences together? Responsibilities in the family?”

Li Jia and Selinda looked at each other and nodded together: "We can."

Guo Qian said: "Then on behalf of the China Hewan Municipal Government, I will issue you a marriage certificate."

Guo Qian took out two small pieces of paper, on which were printed the busts of the two of them, their names, ID numbers and a few words proving their marriage.

Li Jia's ID number is a rewritten 18-digit number, and Selinda, as a native spouse, was also given a temporary number. If she can be naturalized in a few years, she will obtain a formal ID card. Number.

Guo Qian picked up a seal, stamped it on the two marriage certificates, and then handed them to Li Jia and Selinda respectively.

Selinda gently stroked the cardboard with her photo printed on it and whispered: "It's like a dream."

"It's a dream that has become a reality." Li Jia said.

There was a sound of chanting behind them, and Li Tianrui shouted loudly: "Kiss me, kiss me!"

Li Jia turned around and said, "This is a government department! What are you shouting about!"

Li Tianrui said reluctantly: "Don't pull the tiger's skin to pull the flag, Chairman Guo doesn't have any objections, right, Chairman?"

Guo Qian immediately said: "Of course I have no objection. This is a happy moment. You can celebrate in any way. Young people should be more passionate."

"Me neither. Expressing love in public is something that will get everyone's blessing." Count Carlos also said with a smile.

Under the cheers of the onlookers, Li Jia could not withstand the pressure and quickly gave up. He hugged Selinda and moved his mouth towards her unnaturally. However, his movements were too slow, which made Selinda uncomfortable. Linda's face turned red with embarrassment. She couldn't bear the slow waiting. Li Jia's squirming look made her heart itch even more. She grabbed the other person's arm, put her face close to it, and directly Kiss him on the lips.

There was a burst of cheers around, and many people shouted not to stop...

"Your committee chairman is so calm. He is still in the mood to host a wedding here." Liu Yisheng, who was standing in the crowd at this time, said to Luo Ling beside him.

"The news has not spread yet, so we still have to do what needs to be done," Luo Ling said.

"Some things are really difficult to change." Liu Yisheng said with emotion, "For example, Li Jia's fate is to marry a foreign woman."

"Oh? What did you remember?" Luo Ling asked, clapping her hands gently.

"Yes, today's scene reminded me of something." Liu Yisheng nodded, "I have seen Li Jia's weddings like this several times, and all the people opposite were locals. It seems that he is really not ordinary hungry. ”

"Haha, is it Selinda?" Luo Ling asked.

Liu Yisheng stared at the two kissing people for a while and said: "No. At least not in my memory. It seems that one is the daughter of a small businessman, the other is the daughter of a nearby farmer, and the third is sold here. Female slaves are not important figures in any case. As for Li Jia, she did play some role in the battles in several worlds. But..."

Liu Yisheng suddenly hesitated.

"But did he make bad choices in other worlds?"

Liu Yisheng said: "In a certain world, he is one of the leaders of the surrender faction. In another world, he is a murderer."

"Who did he kill?"

"His wife, a woman who cheated on him when he was away fighting, and another teacher at the magic school, his wife's lover." Liu Yisheng glanced at Luo Ling and asked curiously, "It seems that you don't feel anything?"

"Li Jia is a person who looks shy and honest, but has deep feelings. Whether it is love or hate, it is much stronger than ordinary people. According to his personality, I don't think it's strange that he did such a thing. Including surrender, he doesn't have too many persistent beliefs in his political stance, but is more easily influenced by personal emotions. If in a certain world, someone like Chang Lin manages his relationship with him well and makes him follow him wholeheartedly, it is not difficult. But in the final analysis, none of this happened."

"Hmm...very insightful." Liu Yisheng praised, "Then tell me, what do you want to do after knowing these things?"

"Tell him." Luo Ling answered very straightforwardly.

"I thought you wouldn't say anything."

Luo Ling said: "Why can't you tell him? Isn't this a lesson learned from the past? There is no more valuable reminder than knowing in advance the mistakes you made in another world."
