Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After arranging the eunuchs who announced the decree, Wang Yuze's wedding did not proceed immediately.  Because, one after another, uninvited guests came to the door.  Moreover, their background was not small, and Wang Xiao and Wang Yuze had to receive them in person.

    ¡°His Excellency Mr. Zhu Erdian, Consul of the British Consulate in Chengdu, wishes the young marshal a happy wedding!¡± the guard outside the hall shouted loudly.

    Zhu Erdian was promoted to the Legation in Beijing two years ago, but because of his understanding of Chinese officialdom and the rapid rise of Western Sichuan, the British government made an exception and appointed him as the Consul General of the Consulate in Chengdu, in order to allow him to guarantee the British presence in Western Sichuan.  Interests.

    "Your Excellency, Marshal, congratulations!" Zhu Erdian said in fluent Chinese with a smile on his face.

    "Your Excellency, the Consul, can come to attend my son's wedding, which really brings glory to my family! Your Excellency, the Consul, please take a seat!" Wang Xiao said with a smile.  The consuls of these great powers stationed in China cannot be offended.  Sichuan West simply does not have the strength to compete with them now.  Especially Britain, the current empire on which the sun never sets has entered its heyday, with colonies on every continent and huge British fleets cruising in all major oceans to ensure British interests.  Although Western Sichuan is not close to the sea, it still has conflicts with the United Kingdom.  Britain has also coveted the Plateau Province under the jurisdiction of western Sichuan for a long time.

    ¡°His Excellency Lucas, Consul General of the German Consulate in Chengdu, is here!¡± Immediately afterwards, the German consul also came to join in the fun.

    "Your Excellency, Marshal, congratulations!" German Consul Lucas is a tall man, more than 1.9 meters tall, which is much taller than Wang Xiao and his son.

    "Welcome, Consul, to take the time to attend Quanzi's wedding!" Wang Xiao said with a smile on his face.  Before Western Sichuan and the great powers, the closest thing was undoubtedly Germany.  It has been less than twenty years since the reunification of Germany. However, after the reunification, Germany has developed rapidly and has become one of the most industrially developed countries on the European continent. It is not far away from catching up with the United Kingdom.  Today, Germany has huge funds and advanced technology, but it lacks overseas colonies and cannot provide a broad market.  At this time, China, with a population of 400 million, became a huge market in the eyes of Germany.  However, China's main market has been occupied by countries such as the United Kingdom. In order to compete with the United Kingdom, Germany took the initiative to contact the new regime in western Sichuan.  Germany wants the market in western Sichuan, and western Sichuan also wants German funds and technology.  The two sides hit it off immediately.

    During the development process of western Sichuan, Germany provided great help.  Especially in the process of heavy industry and weapons manufacturing, it provides great help.  Otherwise, it would be impossible for Western Sichuan to achieve self-sufficiency in weapons.  The 1888-style rifle used by the Western Sichuan Army was improved based on the German 1888 Committee rifle.

    Immediately afterwards, the French consul, the Russian consul, the American consul and the Japanese consul all came to congratulate.  However, Japanese Consul Yuichi Kawaguchi kept a straight face as if his mother had just died.  It's no wonder that their plan to assassinate Wang Yuze failed, and their intelligence agency in western Sichuan suffered a fatal blow and was basically destroyed. Only a few people escaped, but all of them were transferred to  Underground, afraid to show up again.  In the counterattack in western Sichuan, hundreds of Japanese were killed!  Therefore, it is no wonder that he has a bad expression.

    Next, many important officials of the Qing court sent people to congratulate him, such as Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and others, who also sent heavy gifts.  For a time, these people with pig tails behind their heads filled the entire hall.  In order to arrange these people, Wang Quan had to order a tour of the kitchen of the ambassador's house and opened twenty more tables, so that there would not be enough to entertain everyone.

    Wang Yuze¡¯s wedding can continue until no one comes again.

    "First bow to heaven and earth! Second bow to the high hall! Husband and wife bow to each other!" the master of ceremonies sang loudly.

    Wang Yuze and the three brides followed the steps step by step to worship heaven and earth, worship in the high hall, worship each other as husband and wife, etc.  The whole set of rituals made him very tired.  However, amid the fatigue, there was also a hint of excitement.  When the whole ceremony is completed, it marks that he is also a man with a wife.

    "Sent to the bridal chamber!" In Wang Yuze's expectation, the master of ceremonies shouted this loudly.

    Wang Yuze immediately held the red silk in his hand and sent the three brides into the bridal chamber that had been prepared.  Of course, since there were three brides, the bridal chamber also prepared three.  Wang Yuze originally seemed to have sent all three brides to the same bridal chamber to have a great sleep together.  But think about it or forget it, this is a bit too shocking.  If word spreads, he will definitely become synonymous with a debauched and immoral king, which will make his already not good reputation even worse.  However, Wang Yuze believes that his dream of being slept with will definitely come true in the future.  Although he was a soldier in his previous life, he has also watched many Japanese love action movies  After all, most men like this.  Wang Yuze himself is no exception.

    After sending the bride into the bridal chamber, Wang Yuze had to return to the front hall to greet the guests.  At this time, the front hall was already open.  In the auditorium of the visiting ambassador's house, dozens of sumptuous wedding banquets were prepared, and all the guests who came to attend the wedding were already seated.  However, the groom hasn't come out yet, and Wang Xiao hasn't touched his chopsticks yet, so naturally they can only endure it.

    Fortunately, Wang Yuze did not waste much time and soon appeared in the auditorium. Under the leadership of Wang Xiao, everyone began to toast table by table.  At this time, the auditorium resounded with blessings for Wang Xiao and the sounds of people drinking wine.  Especially the soldiers who came to attend the wedding drank like water, drinking large glasses of Jian Nanchun, the special wine provided by the ambassador's house.  They rarely get to drink such good wine.  Although Wang Xiao has always been kind to soldiers and government officials, such good wine cannot be purchased with their military pay and salary.  Therefore, taking this opportunity, they can just have a feast.

    The first person Wang Xiao toasted to was the three pairs of father-in-law and mother-in-law.  They were quite satisfied with this son-in-law, including Xiong Wu.  Although Wang Yuze's character is somewhat distasteful to him, Wang Yuze will undoubtedly be a good man. As long as his daughter can be happy, he will have no complaints.  Yang Hua and his wife, Zhou Rongxuan and his wife, were even more happy. Being able to become the young marshal's father-in-law and mother-in-law was a good thing that they had never dreamed of.

    Next, the consuls of various countries also became the targets of toasts.  Although not everything in Western Sichuan and other countries is in harmony, at this time, they all expressed their blessings to Wang Yuze.  Wang Yuze also attaches great importance to the consuls. If Western Sichuan wants to develop and unify the country, it is inevitable to deal with these consuls.

    Among the guests at the back, the government officials were more polite and no one would drink from Wang Yuze.  The situation was different for the military generals. Even with Wang Xiao present, Wang Yuze was poured a lot of wine.  After all the guests had paid their respects, he was already a little dizzy.  Fortunately, Wang Wei, who had been following him, blocked a lot of wine for him, otherwise he would have been drunk.  Even so, it was only after Wang Xiao spoke that the generals let Wang Yuze go.  However, Wang Yuze's performance also made these military generals somewhat satisfied.  Of course, although Wang Yuze was not a very good drinker, he did not deliberately refuse to drink the wine they offered.  For Wang Yuze, a young marshal, to be able to do this is already very good.

    After the toast, Wang Yuze took a while to regain his consciousness. With the help of the girl Xiang'er, he walked towards the bridal chamber.  His room was decorated as the bridal chamber of the eldest lady Xiong Menghan.  The other two ladies are in other rooms in Wang Yuze's courtyard.  Fortunately, his yard is big enough and there are many rooms.  Originally Wang Xiao suggested that he find two other courtyards to house Yang Shilan and Zhou Rui, but Wang Yuze refused.  Only by living together can the relationship between everyone be enhanced.  He hopes that his three wives can get along harmoniously. If they live far away, there will inevitably be disagreements.  In addition, this is also to satisfy another evil idea in Wang Yuze's heart.  If the three ladies lived too far away, wouldn't he have to run a long way every night?
