Chapter 136 Wedding
In the season when flowers bloom, Lu Chuanxiong came to Taiyuan in late spring and early summer. In the temporary office of Mu Yaping of the Taiyuan Pacification Office, on the site outside, if you pay attention to the observation, there are still a large number of fireworks that have not been swept away. Yesterday, the Northwest Railway Development and Operation Company was established, and Ningxia, Gansu and Qinghai sent representatives to gather in Taiyuan.
Chairman Shang Zhen, as the chief president of the railway company, was very popular, and Mu Yaping, as a senior consultant of the railway company, served as the opening ceremony host and personally cut the railway company. As for the following operations, it is enough to implement the plan that Mu Yaping had already formulated, and the entire Taiyuan City seemed to be bathed in joy.
After the ribbon-cutting event, Mu Yaping's speech was even more shocking at the banquet to invite all the representatives to thank him. Although two days have passed, his words are still lingering in the hearts of representatives from all parties who came to the meeting. The central meaning of Mu Yaping's speech is that railway construction will surely drive economic prosperity and then form a pattern of great development.
Mu Yaping knew it well. Railway construction can solve a large number of employment problems, drive a large number of manufacturers to serve it, and bring a large number of orders. It can also promote Taiyuan railway maintenance factories, convert them into manufacturing enterprises, and produce its own steam locomotives and vehicles. One section of the railway repair and operation will surely drive the rapid economic development along the line. In short, business opportunities are unlimited. He called on people with knowledge to devote themselves to railway construction, and wealth will come...
The establishment of Northwest Railway Company, with its explosive news, and under the deliberate exaggeration of radio and newspapers, has set off a rush in Shanxi and even the northwest provinces. The key is that his new operating model has aroused people's appetite. Whoever invests will benefit, Mu Yaping announced in public at the banquet that he himself invested 10 million silver dollars as the start-up capital of Northwest Railway Company. People who follow this move are like a rage. On the same day, Northwest Railway Company raised an intention to invest 50 million oceans, and a good start means a good result.
A car stopped slowly at the Taiyuan Pacification Office. The door opened. Lu Chuanxiong walked out of the car with a red face. Lu Dahu, who went to the station to pick up his father, followed him out of the car. Mu Yaping, who was standing on the steps, walked down quickly, and happily held Lu Chuanxiong's hands and said, "Master Lu, why are you here alone? Why didn't your master's wife come?"
Lu Chuanxiong married another family, and he is currently the vice principal of Mudanfeng Military Academy. "The child is too young and the road is inconvenient, so he didn't let the mother come." Mu Yaping said: "It's a pity to not let the master's wife attend the happy event of Dahu. Besides, Dahu has never met his master's wife, which is wrong with you!" Lu Chuanxiong said: "Master, you will have opportunities in the future."
Several people walked into the house with a smile. When the office staff of the Pacification Office saw Mu Yaping mobilizing such a crowd to welcome a guest from Peking, they all guessed the identity of the visitor. They looked at Lu Chuanxiong curiously, and with a whisper, they probably could not guess correctly. Lu Chuanxiong's bronze face further increased their misjudgment.
When he entered the house, Lu Dahu said goodbye to his father because he only asked for an hour off. After Lu Dahu left, Mu Yaping said, "Master Lu, you have not changed at all, and you are still angry." Lu Chuanxiong smiled and said, "Master, you have changed a lot, it is really unimaginable. I recognized that you had a bright future and would have done something, and it turns out to be so."
Mu Yaping waved his hand and said, "Master Lu, if there was no Big Tiger's marriage, you would not have come to Taiyuan. It just happened to take advantage of this period to have fun in Taiyuan. Xiangyun and Heping and his wife were coming to pick you up, and they asked you to live at home. Heping told me that you are his master and hope I can help him."
Lu Chuanxiong said: "Master, this is probably inconvenient! I'm still comfortable living here with you." Mu Yaping smiled and said: "I'm afraid I can't do it. Please follow the guests as you please follow the arrangements! Today is Wednesday, and we will go to propose marriage tomorrow and strive to hold the wedding Sunday. The woman asked to live in her parents' home after marriage, so you have no objection!"
Lu Chuanxiong said generously: "Dahu is a soldier and is not at home all year round. I have some care in my parents' home. I don't worry, no, I have no objection. Besides, Dahu can marry such a good wife, which is his fortune. Dahu, Erhu, and my two girls, are so promising now, it is not a blessing for the eldest young master. The eldest young master, Lu Chuanxiong, will never be able to repay him in his life." Mu Yaping angrily said: "Master Lu, we are like a family, why are we seeing me?"
At this time, Lu Chuanxiong seemed to remember something and took out a map from his pocket. The map was painted with cloth, with many names and contact information on it. Lu Chuanxiong said seriously: "Young Master, you asked me to set up a secret site in Chengde area. The personnel have basically been in place. They were scattered to Chengde area in various identities. This map is a contact map."
Mu Yaping took it, looked carefully, then put it away carefully and said, "No one knows this picture!" Lu Chuanxiong said, "I personally handled it, and the staff were all selected by me, and no one knew about it." "Very good! People have no immediate worries, they must have long-term considerations, and they will definitely be useful in the future. Master Lu, let's drink."
Early the next morning, Mu Yaping, Lu Chuanxiong and Lu Dahu and his son drove to Du Yafen's house to formally propose marriage. At the same time, they agreed on Sunday's wedding. Since the Du family had already prepared for the wedding, the proposal today was a formality. The elderly people from both sides met and became familiar with each other.
It was a light rain in the morning, and the air was particularly fresh. In the early summer, the ground quickly became dry, and soon the sun showed a smile in the cracks of the clouds. At this time, there were obviously more people on the streets of Taiyuan. In front of the Du Mansion, dozens and a half-year-old children stood at the intersection and suddenly started running, shouting "Come on! Come on!"
Today, there were lights and decorations in front of the Du Mansion, and the seven aunts and aunts in the city were present. Although the Du Mansion is an engagement day today, the relatives who came here witnessed the style of the new aunt, after all, they were lieutenant generals and young. Another reason is that Mu Yaping will propose marriage together as a parent. At present, Mu Yaping's name is well-known in Shanxi, especially in Taiyuan City, and is almost known to everyone.
The owner of Du's mansion, Mr. Du and his wife, got up early in the morning and arranged the tables, chairs and benches in the house. The maid wiped the yard several times, and the servants swept the yard several times. Du Yafen's elder brother also rushed back to Taiyuan from Baotou and his wife and children. The Du's mansion was silent in joy. Especially with the joining of relatives, the atmosphere became even more lively.
The Du family stood in front of the door and heard the children calling for the guests, they looked up one after another, and everyone showed joy and expectation gazes on their faces. As the figure of the car appeared, Mu Yaping, Lu Chuanxiong and Lu Dahu appeared in front of everyone... There is no need to repeat the process of proposing marriage, and the two sides agreed without any objection to hold the wedding.
First, the wedding ceremony was held in the military camp. After all, Lu Dahu was a soldier, and he promoted the new style of revolutionary soldiers to handle new things and new things, and then went to the Du Mansion to follow traditional etiquette. This not only demonstrates the example of modern civilization, but also does not lose the ethics of tradition and morality. Try to make everyone satisfied. In addition, Mu Yaping wants to announce a decision to be beautiful in adulthood at the wedding.
On Sunday, all officers gathered in the auditorium. With the sound of firecrackers, the car that welcomed the bride entered one after another. The groom Lu Dahu and the bride Du Yafen first got out of the car. Lu Dahu was wearing a straight school uniform, tall, burly, and handsome face was particularly eye-catching. Du Yafen was wearing a red cheongsam, and his beautiful face was slightly pink, making him look youthful and beautiful and charming.
There was a red flower on each of their chests, indicating the reconciliation of the newlyweds. Followed by a pair of groomsmen and bridesmaids. Surprisingly, the groomsmen was Li Yunlong, the bridesmaids were Bai Suzhen, and a pair of golden boys and jade girls. Then everyone entered the auditorium and stood in turn on the rostrum as the band played the wedding march.
When the parents of both sides stood up, the host Mu Yaping walked to the center and said with a smile: "Today is the happy day for Mr. Lu Dahu and Miss Du Yafen. I sincerely wish them a hundred years of reconciliation and happiness. I also sincerely wish them to respect and love each other and grow old together in their future life journey." Thunderous applause burst out below.
Mu Yaping also said: "Today we hold a new wedding, which is to demonstrate the modern civilization of revolutionary soldiers and reflect the sentiments of revolutionary soldiers. Today, I will use this platform to announce a decision. After the wedding today, we will set up a military marriage agency, and even above officers can register. This move is to solve the marriage problem of our officers." Cheers burst out below, and then thunderous applause sounded.
After a while, Mu Yaping waved his hand and said, "Now I'll ask the director of the marriage agency, Ms. Liu Xiangyun speaks." The beautiful Xiangyun seemed to be unprepared and her face turned red. She walked out of the crowd, first bowed to everyone, then looked at Mu Yaping with a angrily glance and said, "The marriage agency is located outside the girls' school, everyone can sign up enthusiastically. Remember to truthfully report your true age and hometown. The marriage agency will definitely satisfy everyone." Cheers came from below.
Then Mu Yaping announced that the bride and groom would go to the guests, parents of both sides... After the bride and groom left, all the officers began to enter the banquet, and the dinner of more than 500 people was very lively. Then a traditional wedding was held in the Du Mansion. Mu Yaping did not attend, but stayed in the military camp to celebrate with all the officers.
As night fell, the lights in the new house were soft. The bride Du Yafen stroked Lu Dahu's strong chest with her hands, and a happy expression rippled on her face. After a long time, Du Yafen whispered: "Dahu, after the military training, I want to go with you?" Dahu laughed and said: "The place in Wuyuan is difficult, I'm afraid you can't stand it." Du Yafen said firmly: "We are husband and wife, I'm not afraid of sharing joys and sorrows, what I'm afraid of is the pain of lovesickness." Lu Dahu was a little moved and hugged her tightly again.
