From the morning of the 7th, firecrackers crackled all night long. The long street in front of the Lu family mansion was lined with opera stages that stretched to the horizon. Although Commissioner Zhang wanted to keep everything simple, almost all the most famous opera troupes in Northern Xinjiang, as well as several major opera troupes in nearby Longbei, were invited, and the opera would be performed in shifts for a month.
From this point alone, we can see Commissioner Zhang's strong financial strength. He has a total of more than 30 opera troupes, and supporting them for one month for free is higher than his usual income.
The politicians of the Montenegrin Group all sent generous gifts. If it weren’t for the order from Prince Montenegrin Castle, many people would have rushed over.
But then again, if all the civil and military leaders of the Black Mountain Group gathered in Wu'an and were slaughtered by someone, they would become a laughing stock.
On the morning of the 8th, a long convoy set out from Wu'an and headed to the Han family in Beining to pick up the bride. Han Annie returned to the Han family a day in advance, but for the sake of caution, Xiao Guo and Da Guo stayed with her the whole time.
In a traditional wedding, Han Annie wore a phoenix crown and a red veil, and she and Lu Ming worshipped heaven and earth.
Afterwards, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber.
In the evening, there were laughter and joy everywhere inside and outside the Lu family mansion. Not to mention the wedding banquet dishes, there were even jade shrimps as thick as arms, which were difficult to eat in the Northern Frontier, not to mention ordinary people, even dignitaries and nobles.
Lu Ming toasted at each table. When he came to a table of young men and women, a girl scolded him, "Groom! I thought Annie would wear a wedding dress and I would be the bridesmaid! It's all because of you. You ruined my beautiful dream. You have to drink one more glass!"
This table was filled with Han Annie's close college and middle school classmates, all of whom came from other places.
Lu Ming drank the wine in his glass without saying a word, and everyone applauded immediately. Lu Ming sat down, clinked glasses with them and chatted for a while, then gave each of them his business card, inviting them to develop in the Republic of Northern Montenegro.
What the Montenegrin system lacks most nowadays is actually talents in all aspects. These are not talents of national importance, but various leaders in ordinary positions, outstanding civil servants and technical personnel at the grassroots level, and so on.
…
In the red bridal chamber, the lights were off and a long red candle wishing a happy marriage was burning on the table.
Looking at the pretty figure in a bright red bridal gown sitting on the edge of the moon-shaped bed, Lu Ming scratched his head.
This year, there are two serious weddings, one at the beginning of the year and one at the end of the year.
Later, will Hanzhu and Liuli also have a wedding? After all, they are the East Palace and the West Palace.
But when I think about the beauties around me, I’m afraid even God would be jealous of me.
Suddenly, seeing Han Annie seemed to move, Lu Ming's heart tightened. He quickly took two steps forward and gently lifted the veil with both hands, fearing that this guy would become impatient and pull the veil off himself and ask: Is the show over
Then this ceremony would not be perfect.
Under the veil, Han Annie's pretty face is revealed. She is an oriental beauty. Under the shadow of the phoenix crown and bridal robe, she has a kind of classical beauty that can shame the moon and flowers.
"Lu Ming, where am I?" Han Annie suddenly looked up and asked in surprise.
A cute snow-white knitted hat, revealing her long, slightly cold brown hair with highlights on the temples, a hair color that was popular in her previous life, very pretty and cute.
Lu Ming was startled. When he looked again, Han Annie was sitting there quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.
She is a beautiful bride wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, with an ancient charm and an alluring manner.
Lu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart. Was he daydreaming
Sitting down next to Han Annie, Lu Ming whispered, "From today on, we are husband and wife..."
"Yes, the man I married is called Zhang A Ming." Han Annie smiled, "So, Your Highness, it's night, you should go back to your room and rest."
Lu Ming coughed and said, "There are not many rooms here. If I go out, someone will see me. Just stay here for one night. I won't do anything to you."
Han Annie curled her lips and said nothing.
Lu Ming sighed softly, "It's been five years since we first met. It's been a long time since we met. Annie, don't you think that we are destined to be together?"
Han Annie was amused and laughed: "Then you have too many predestined relationships."
Lu Ming's face turned red, and his emotional expression was completely useless. Instead, he was ridiculed. This little girl really saw through him completely.
"You don't have to be embarrassed, but you should use your tricks to coax other girls." Han Annie glanced at Lu Ming, "But I know that you still treat me a little differently. Maybe it's because I wanted to put you in jail before, so you feel particularly accomplished if you conquer me?"
Lu Ming frowned: "Annie, am I really so unbearable in your eyes? To be honest, I remember my past life. You were my first love in my past life. I was about to confess my love to you and treat you to a meal, but I failed. Then, I died and came to this world! Do you remember the first time I saw you in the East China Sea? I just wanted to treat you to a meal!"
Han Annie was about to sneer, thinking that this guy would dare to say anything to please a girl.
When a person's status reaches a certain level, he may become shameless to a degree that is hard for ordinary people to imagine. Because when power is not restrained, he will gradually expand and feel that everything he does is justified.
Lu Ming looked at her seriously: "You don't believe it, right? Then let me tell you a secret that only my closest relatives know. The me in Black Mountain is not my substitute at all. The me now is my body outside of my body. My consciousness can return to my body in Black Mountain at any time, and this body will stop breathing and heartbeat and become a corpse. Of course, this corpse will not rot and deteriorate. It may be more appropriate to describe it as a puppet!"
Han Annie had already stood up and was ready to leave, thinking that this guy had gone crazy.
Lu Ming said, "Okay, I'll prove it to you. It'll take half an hour, but don't be afraid, and don't call anyone over, or else Zhang will really die of illness in the bridal chamber, and your reputation will be bad..." He coughed and said, "Alas, I seem to be very excited when I'm with you, and I love to talk nonsense about everything."
Han Annie stopped and sneered: "You mean you can die for half an hour, without breathing or heartbeat? Well, you can prove it. Don't worry, I'm not afraid!"
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back to Montenegro, and I'll call you to chat! However, there is no dedicated line here, so in order to avoid being eavesdropped, I will simply congratulate you on your wedding as the Prince of Montenegro Castle. I was originally looking for Commissioner Zhang, but when you answered the phone, you said that Commissioner Zhang was drunk and couldn't answer the phone. I will hint you the content of our conversation just now. You see, I can't send a message to Montenegro, right?"
Han Annie was a little surprised when she saw how serious he was.
Lu Ming had already said, "Okay, I'll go!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly leaned back and fell into the bed...
…
An hour later, still on the edge of the moon-shaped bed, Lu Ming was happily sitting with his legs crossed, sipping tea from a cup in his hand.
Han Anni was still in extreme shock, sitting blankly at the head of the bed without saying a word.
Lu Ming waited for a long time, shook his head, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Han Annie's pretty face, "Hey! Wake up!"
Han Annie's body trembled slightly, and she slowly came back to her senses, but when she looked at Lu Ming, her face was still full of fear. It was naturally because everything that had just happened completely overturned her understanding of the world.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask. Generally speaking, I can only tell you that I also believe that there are no ghosts or gods in this world, but some ancient mysterious techniques are difficult to explain clearly. However, human development still requires science to explore the mysteries of the universe. This is definitely not wrong."
Han Annie asked softly: "Previous life?"
Lu Ming said: "Yes, I remember my past life, but from my feeling, not everyone has a past life and an afterlife." He reached out and gently held Han Annie's hand, and his heart trembled slightly. Her smooth jade hand and slender fingers seemed as soft as onions. In past and present lives, he could finally hold hands with her.
"What did I do in my previous life?" Han Annie asked in a daze.
"We are both law school students and often compete in moot courts. You usually beat me..."
Han Anni bit her lip and said, "You lied to me, didn't you? I don't believe that anyone can beat you?!"
"We are about the same level, you were great, just as good as you are now!"
Han Annie snorted: "So, I definitely can't beat you."
"Why bother about these..." Lu Ming said helplessly.
Han Anni laughed dumbly, "Yeah, I'm really stupid, but, I, I don't know..."
"Have a good sleep, you'll be fine tomorrow!" Lu Ming could see that in such a short period of time, Han Annie's inherent worldview had suffered a severe blow, and in fact her mind was still very confused.
Sighing, Lu Ming said softly: "Have a good rest today. Alas, I don't know whether it is right or wrong to tell you this."
A few minutes later, Lu Ming felt that what he said was completely correct.
He helped Han Anni take off her embroidered shoes and helped her onto the bed. Han Anni did not resist. He even lay down next to her and gently held her in his arms. She was so distracted that she did not resist. Instead, she curled up in his arms and soon fell asleep.
