Findings at sea

The Du family and the Du family's influence spread all over Shanghai, extending to Songzhe; the Mu family controlled the lifeline resources of the country, and the rich and wealthy businessmen competed for cooperation.The marriage between the two families is not only related to in-laws, but also benefits.

Bai Xiaohong neglected the matter of Haoguan, and many people in the venue withdrew their shares one after another, and those who were willing to stay were close friends who had died together. If this continues, Haoguan will collapse sooner or later, and they will go away separately in the face of disaster.The gang forces in Shanghai changed from Bai, Du, and Yan to Du, Yan, and Bai in an instant.

During the Lantern Festival, the sky is filled with colorful lights.

Ji Xingtang asked his confidant to send Ruoyu to Wang Shaoqing's place, and after the wedding was over and Ruoyu had finished his apprenticeship, he would go to see him by himself.

The Mu Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the grand occasion was indescribable. Those who could enter the Mu family's threshold were either wealthy or powerful.Standing far away from the door, Ji Xingtang saw two rows of bodyguards in black suits and leather shoes.Mu Ke's bosses, those old warlords, came directly with their personal guards in a truck. Brown and green figures jumped out of the car one by one, and there were two more rows of guards with guns at the door.This is not over yet, Du Wanxiang's second brother-in-law is the chief of the police department, and a policeman in police uniform and holding a baton is also standing at the door with his hands behind his back. This is not like getting married, but like a gesture of welcome to the president.

People from all sides, black and white, gathered together.

Ji Xingtang thought to herself: Can Wanxiang be happy?

Ji Xingtang presented the invitation card and entered the door, and saw a lonely figure from the back, even though there were many people around, that figure was still lonely in the colorful world.In the past, Ji Xingtang always felt that the word "heartbreak" was too exaggerated. If the heart was broken, wouldn't the person also die?Now he knows that even if he dies, he will not be wronged. He is a desperado chasing this person, and if he doesn't chase him, he can really die.

Surrounded by laughter and laughter, men and women held wine glasses and mingled with each other. Everyone had sophisticated shrewdness and cunning on their faces.

On the wedding table next to the water pavilion pavilion, a man sat opposite Bai Xiaohong.This man was not sitting on a stool but a wheelchair, and his legs were covered with a mattress of just the right size. He was dressed in plain brocade and satin, which made his already pale face look like a layer of frost, and his eyes were as clear as Du Wanxiang's. She was beautiful, but her eye sockets were slightly sunken, her thin lips were also pale, and she looked sickly.But he is smiling, that smile makes people think: If he is healthier and richer, he must be a refined and handsome young man.

Du Ziming was Du Jinming's sick nephew, paralyzed and consumptive.His mother had just given birth to him, and his father and uncle were brothers and sisters who were pregnant with ghosts. In order to scare Du Jinming, his father deliberately gave him a name with "Ming". Later, when his father was killed, Du Jinming adopted him and four Sister, there is always a estrangement from him.Du Ziming is at a young age, but he is weak and can't bear the wind and cold. He stays in the side pavilion of Du mansion to keep his health all day long. No one has expected anything from him. Anything has to come out.

Du Ziming knew that this name would make Du Jinming angry. When he was young, he was lucky enough to meet a bachelor who came to visit him. Mr. En was a real bachelor, and he changed his name bluntly in front of Du Jinming. Mr. En said: The word "Ming" can be separated from "Sun" and "Moon". "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Tianbao" has a saying that "as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun."Such as the longevity of Nanshan, neither Qiang nor collapse.Such as the luxuriance of pines and cypresses, there is nothing but success. "As constant as the moon, as rising as the sun" is even more sublime, implying strong vitality and a bright future. It is better to change the name to "Tianbao". longer.Sure enough, once the name was changed, he survived for 25 years, and his uncle treated him more kindly.

That's why Du Ziming is also called Du Tianbao, and Ji Xingtang calls him Brother Tianbao. He likes to call these three words, as if calling him one more time can make him live another day, Tianbao Tianbao.

When Du Ziming saw Ji Xingtang coming, he smiled and waved at him, "Ah Tang."

Ji Xingtang also hasn't seen Brother Tianbao for a long time, he looks thinner than last time.Bai Xiaohong turned his head when he heard the words, and saw the person he had been thinking about day and night, but he couldn't get over his love even if he didn't see him for a day.

Ji Xingtang responded and entered the table, and sat beside Bai Xiaohong, facing Du Ziming. Du Ziming handed him a cup of hot tea, stretched out his arms and exposed his wrists, almost skinny.Ji Xingtang greeted, "Brother Tianbao, how is your health recently? You are not willing to let Eisen take a look at it for you. This disease cannot be delayed, and sitting paralyzed all day is not a solution after all."

Du Ziming said calmly, "Western medicine treats people like objects. I still believe in the method of my ancestors. Don't worry, I can drag you into a family with my bones."

After finishing speaking, he coughed twice, and the people at the table looked worried whether it was true or false, or there was a lot of truth, after all, what could such a sick person compete with himself.The little girl next to him tightened his warm woolen coat, and Du Ziming hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile, "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, it's an old problem."

While eating tea and drinking, Ji Xingtang didn't say a word to Bai Xiaohong.

The sound of firecrackers crackled, and the rituals and music were noisy, wishing Hongluan respectfully.Mu Rusong was wearing a black robe, a dark red brocade mandarin jacket, with waxed hair and a smiling Du Jinming on crutches to welcome the guests.Mrs. Mu and Sister Xiang sat and talked with Du Wanxiang in the wedding room, and the red quilt was sprinkled with red dates and peanuts.

Ji Xingtang had been dating people from all directions for a week, and left the meeting with an excuse. He had something to ask Mu Ke.

As soon as Ji Xingtang left, Bai Xiaohong followed him, and followed his steps to the quiet place behind the rockery, where only the faint laughter could be heard.

Bai Xiaohong stood quietly in front of him, grabbed his hand and looked at it, the cut on his hand was covered with a thin layer of scab, and the red mark on his wrist still had some faint marks, he was at a loss for words for a moment.After a while, he said, "Xingtang, you didn't say a word to me just now."

Ji Xingtang slowly withdrew his hand, and said calmly, "I'll send him away, don't talk nonsense about things you don't have. I also know about Haoguan, and the savings in the bank plus the relief from the old man and Yan Zhaoling can make up for the shortfall." I'll go back in a few days, and I'll accompany you home to build the ancestral hall, and start the company when I'm free." He paused and said, "You go back first, I still have some things to do."

Bai Xiaohong hugged him tightly, "You are accommodating me like this again."

My heart is with you, what should I do if I don’t accommodate you?Ji Xingtang looked around for him to let go.

Mu Ke was drinking with Du Zihao and the others, and they were drinking upside down.Du Zihao put his arms around Mu Ke's neck and hiccupped at him, muttering, "Brother-in-law, a good brother has become a brother-in-law", and then laughed out loud.

Mu Ke was also delirious, he lifted his robe and stepped onto the wine table, kicked off the wine pot, patted Du Zihao's face twice with drunken eyes, and said with a smile, "I know you, you are my uncle! "

Ji Xingtang bent down and picked up the jug that had rolled to her feet and put it aside, looked at Mu Ke and said, "Mu Ke, you come out first, I have something to say to you."

Mu Ke cast a contemptuous look at him, then patted the other half of Du Zihao's face, grinning, "Who is your brother-in-law, he is my brother-in-law."

Mu Ke wobbled and stood in front of Ji Xingtang, put his hands on his shoulders, and asked, "Ye Quer asked you to congratulate me, didn't you? Tell him that he is married and has a child today." Let’s see if he dares to say that I’m not doing my job, eating, drinking and having fun, and he won’t be able to cross the threshold of my Mu family even if he cries and kowtows to me!”

"You drank too much." Ji Xingtang didn't pay much attention to him, and took out a jade pendant from her bosom--the whole body of transparent white jade is exquisitely carved with a dragon playing a phoenix, and the dragon is a rising dragon. She opened her mouth and turned around, looking back Phoenix; the phoenix is ​​a flying phoenix. It spreads its wings and raises its tail to look at the dragon. It is surrounded by auspicious clouds, which is peaceful. The edge of the dragon and phoenix is ​​plated with a layer of gold. There is a string of tassels under the silver rope jade belt.

Ji Xingtang returned the things to him, "If you can't afford it, don't force it. Since you promised to marry Wanxiang, this thing should belong to her. You are a man and you can't be trapped in love. You must first establish your heart and take responsibility for it." It is your own responsibility, you must not take the incense to anger yourself. Besides, you can't give Zixuan what you want, so why should you provoke him. In short, don't lose your head, this is a lifetime thing, if you bully Wan Xiang, don't say that her uncles, aunts and brothers can't forgive you, I can't forgive you, and Zixuan won't look down on you either. Take care of yourself."

Just as Ji Xingtang finished speaking, the noise behind him stopped suddenly. Mu Ke turned around and saw that Du Wanxiang was helped out by two maidservants wearing a red hijab. She raised her hand and handed the other end of the big red firework to Mu Ke. Weeping uncontrollably, he held his voice to stop his sobs.

Everyone was waiting for him to respond, all eyes could not see his thoughts, Mu Ke held his jade pendant tightly and also held the red silk handed over.The eight-foot man is ashamed of his red makeup.

The house was full of relatives and friends, and the red candles were weeping.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

Mu Ke knelt on the ground, and Ruoyu knelt down and paid homage to the patriarch.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

Mu Ke knelt down to his father and mother, Ruoyu lifted the hem of his robe and bowed again.

"Bye husband and wife!"

Mu Ke said that Bai Ruoyu was the only one who knelt down.

Du Wanxiang also stood still.

Mu Rusong and his wife looked at each other, "Ke'er..." The wedding secretary who was in charge of the ceremony shouted again.Mu Ke was so at a loss for the first time in his 20 years of life, he regretted it, he couldn't kneel, he was scared.After a pause for a while, Du Wanxiang took off the scarlet hijab by herself, her face was covered with tears, her eyes that should have been resentment were replaced by panic, she ran out of the hall with the hem of her wedding gown, "Wanxiang!" My sister called her from behind.

Du Wanxiang was running back and forth in the yard, shoulder to shoulder with people. She knew that everyone was watching her jokes, but she didn't care. She didn't stop until she saw Ji Xingtang, and knelt down in front of him.

"Wan Xiang, what are you doing? Get up!" Ji Xingtang looked astonished, and hurriedly held her arm to make her stand up. Du Wanxiang cried and shook her head, "Third brother, I was wrong, it's too late, hurry up It’s too late to go to the Tianchan stage.”

Du Wanxiang was crying so hard that her voice was intermittent, which probably meant that she wanted to gain a future for herself, and for a moment she had a wrong idea, Xiaoqing Xiaoli bribed the villain to harm Ruoyu.She knew that today Ruoyu was apprenticed to a teacher on the Tianchan stage, and he always moistened his throat before opening his voice for an audition. The water he drank was dissolved in morphine, and that thing would ruin his voice and his personality sooner or later.

"What?" Ji Xingtang turned pale in shock after hearing this, and secretly clenched her fists, "Wan Xiang, you are confused."

The people around watched a farce, the bride and the young minister were fighting for the groom, and Du Jinming's niece and the despicable young minister were fighting for the man from their Mu family.

Passing by the bustling crowd, the perpetrator finally appeared, and suddenly shot coldly on the stone slab, mercilessly rubbing and hurting Du Wanxiang's ankle, she only shed two lines of tears and held back her silence, the mother and girl hurried forward lift up.

A gunshot caused the guests to panic, some men couldn't stand their feet, and some women screamed loudly.

Ji Xingtang rushed over and grabbed Mu Ke's double-breasted mandarin jacket, waved his hand and punched him in the face, "What are you doing! It's all your fault, why did you hurt her!"

Mu Ke was punched, his eyes burst into flames, and his teeth chattered in anger. This wicked woman secretly plotted to hurt the person he liked.

The guards at the door rushed in immediately when they heard the gunshots. They were dumbfounded, and the groom shot at the bride.Mu Rusong hurriedly followed behind.The scene was chaotic for a while.

The two glared at each other, seeing that Mu Ke and Ji Xingtang were about to fight, Mu Ke was wrestling with Du Zihao, Bai Xiaohong broke through the crowd, walked in and pulled Ji Xingtang away, "Xingtang, don't be impulsive."

Du Ziming also came, turning the wheel of the wheelchair. He was out of breath, but he tried his best to dissuade him, "Calm down, now is not the time to fight." He coughed and ordered the servant girl, "Go and send your lady into the room. Find someone to treat the wound quickly."

He looked at Ji Xingtang and said, "Ah Tang, Mu Ke was impulsive, how can you be so confused, hurry up and go to the Tianchan Stage with Xiaohong to see the situation, and don't let Pan Xiang commit crimes."

Thinking of Ruoyu, Ji Xingtang came to his senses, turned around and ran out the door, Bai Xiaohong quickly followed.

Du Ziming said to Du Zihao, "Zihao, watch over Mu Ke, he is very confused now, don't let him do stupid things again."

Just as Du Zihao nodded in agreement, Mu Ke shook his hand and ran out.Mrs. Mu called him heart-piercingly from behind, and at the end she only said, "Sin!"

Gunshots, ceremonies, music, cries, howls, and the sounds of all beings were all extinguished.The whole of Shanghai knew about this marriage, and Miss Du Si lost to a little rabbit who took morphine.
