Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 474 Wedding Record

May 16th is a big day, and the Chen and Fang families hired someone to calculate the date, not only to make sure it is suitable for marriage, but also to match the horoscopes of the newlyweds.

Choosing a good day for getting married is a traditional custom rather than superstition. It expresses blessings and expectations for a bright future for the newlyweds and is more of a psychological comfort. Any day will do, so why not choose one that everyone thinks is good?
This is just like going into a temple to worship Buddha. Whether you believe in it or not, you won’t lose anything by worshipping. What you want is the spiritual enjoyment.

Chen Yi hadn't slept all night. He got up from bed at four o'clock and quickly put on his groom's suit. He prepared to drive to pick up Jiang Fanlei and Xu Can without even eating.

"Happy wedding, Xiaoyi."

Aunt Zhang gave her blessings and then went back to her room to rest and recuperate. She needed to clean the house again today to ensure that it was clean and tidy when guests came.

"Thank you, I'm leaving now."

Chen Yi left home and got in the car.

The newly created WeChat group has become lively. The bridesmaids sent videos and photos to the group, and Fang Shuyu was putting on makeup at home.

Wearing a red dress, she looks noble and beautiful. From the video, we can see that all of Lin Chen’s relatives are there, with smiles on their faces.

It's a pity that the bridesmaid herself did not appear on the show, which made Jiang Fanlei and Xu Can feel a little regretful. They could only wait and see.

At four o'clock in the morning, Yangcheng had not yet fully awakened. It was pitch black, with only faint traces of white in the distance, vaguely revealing the vitality of a new day.

The streets were empty, with only the occasional passing vehicle emitting exhaust fumes and the sound of rolling wheels echoing in the streets.

The street lights were still on, providing a dim light for early risers.

In the corners of the city, some breakfast stalls have already started to be crowded with people, and a bowl of porridge and a few fried dough sticks is their breakfast.

I didn't see anyone doing morning exercises. The temperature difference has been quite large recently, and it's about the same around seven or eight o'clock.

Good days are shared by everyone. There should be quite a few couples getting married today. Chen Yi can see some passing vehicles with pink balloons hanging on their rearview mirrors, symbolizing happiness and joy.

While waiting for the red light, Chen Yi took out his mobile phone and received the transfer from Jiang Fanlei and others.

The amount is too large to be put in a red envelope, so I chose electronic payment.

In the circle of rich second-generations, the gift money would definitely not be more than one thousand eight hundred. Leaving aside his colleagues, the minimum red envelope Chen Yi received was six thousand six hundred and sixty-six, the most common was eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, and the highest was eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand.

The 188,000 yuan was given by Jiang Fanlei, and the other 88,000 yuan was given by Xu Can.

The gift money is mutual. When Jiang Fanlei gets married in the future, he will definitely give more than 200,000 yuan, and Xu Can will give more than 100,000 yuan.

Gifts are intended to express blessings and care, and have become an important bond of emotional connection between people in this country.

Of course, there are also a large number of people who do it for money. For example, if a classmate you haven’t contacted for a long time suddenly tells you that he or she is getting married, that would be quite embarrassing.

Those who are too shy to refuse will just give two hundred yuan as a token of their appreciation, while those who are thick-skinned will simply choose to ignore it or even directly start a fight.

You didn't come to my wedding, but you asked me to go to your wedding. How does that make sense?
Chen Yi quickly picked up Jiang Fanlei and Xu Can, and then rushed to Fang's house.

The groomsmen's suits were specially bought by the two of them. They were very expensive and they were only worn today. They looked very handsome, but their greasy hair seemed a little exaggerated. It might be because they were not completely dry yet.

"Chen Yi, judging from the bridesmaid's voice, she should be pretty, right?" Xu Can spoke first.

Without waiting for Chen Yi to speak, Jiang Fanlei immediately complained: "That's too much, you have a girlfriend!"

Xu Can turned his head and said, "Am I being too much or are you just a filthy person? I'm just asking. You can't even look at it, right? I don't even have the right to look at it? It's a man's instinct to pursue beautiful things."

Jiang Fanlei: "Go home to see your girlfriend!"

Xu Can: "Your..."

He wanted to mention Zou Ying, but he immediately realized that scolding someone is not exposing their shortcomings. Chen Yi's wedding day cannot make his brother sad, so he changed his words: "Okay, okay, it's all yours. By the way, the bridesmaid is not a forensic doctor, right?"

Jiang Fanlei's heart tightened, and he quickly went to see Chen Yi, waiting for his answer.

I almost forgot about this. He has a psychological barrier towards forensic doctors. They can be friends but definitely not girlfriends! Chen Yi can hold him but he doesn't have that ability.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "He's not a forensic doctor, but a college classmate. He looks... not bad."

Jiang Fanlei finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't a forensic doctor.

"I like being silly, and I hope not to be too smart," he began.

They haven't even met yet, but Jiang Fanlei has already started making associations. I don't know if he is joking or really wants to turn Chen Yi's wedding into his own blind date.

Chen Yi: "I don't know if he's smart or not, but I was able to stab you dozens of times in the middle of the night and still have the injury diagnosed as minor."

Jiang Fanlei's hair stood on end: "What the hell?"

Chen Yi chuckled and said, "Doctor."

Jiang Fanlei said angrily: "A doctor is just a doctor, why are you talking so scary?"

Chen Yi: "Is it scary? I'm telling the truth."

Xu Can was gloating on the side. Forensic scientists and doctors are actually similar. They both have the possibility of coming into contact with corpses.

After bragging all the way, they arrived at the Fang family.

He could see the wedding convoy was already waiting, and Fang's relatives were gathered outside chatting. Chen Yi didn't know many of them, so he saw Lin Chen at first sight.

Lin Chen also saw him and quickly told his parents, and the whole family walked over quickly.

Chen Yi politely called them uncle and aunt, and it was not time to change his words yet.

Lin Chen's parents were even more polite, thanking Chen Yi for taking care of Lin Chen in the past two years, especially the provincial department's research. They knew that Chen Yi had helped a lot. With this experience, Lin Chen had some shining points and more capital to brag about, and his future path was much broader.

Apart from the Lin family, everyone else came over to talk after seeing Chen Yi. Fang Songping had no son, so it was obvious who would be the pillar of the Fang family in the future.

It’s the son-in-law’s world.

The main reason is that Chen Yi himself is very hardworking. Ninety percent of his success was due to his own efforts, and he almost lost his life.

It is said that the family members of those who received first-class merit can receive second-class merit without doing anything else. Casualties have a huge impact on merit, and this has become a common practice.

It would take several hours to pick up the bride, so after chatting with everyone, Chen Yi found a place to sit down and wait for the flowers to bloom.

Around seven o'clock, Chen Yi, who had just finished smoking a cigarette, caught sight of Fang Yanjun out of the corner of his eye. The other party was standing in an inconspicuous corner, chatting with several elderly people who were about his age.

Fang Yanjun also saw him and waved his hand.

Chen Yi quickly stood up and walked over.

"Xiao Yi, let me introduce you to you."

Fang Yanjun introduced his friend to Chen Yi with a smile, without saying his name or what he did, only his surname.

It can be seen that Chen Yi is definitely not an ordinary person. Even in his seventies, he still has a straight back and looks vigorous, with a sharp gaze. It is estimated that he has experience in military service.

Probably an old comrade.

Chen Yi wondered in his heart whether the ground would tremble if these old men stomped their feet.

Although retired, but the network is still there, Fang Yanjun has a Gu Jingfeng who calls himself his teacher? I haven't seen Gu Jingfeng yet, maybe he is still sleeping.

Several elderly people looked at Chen Yi, and their scrutinizing eyes made Chen Yi feel somewhat uncomfortable. Soon their eyes softened, and they began to praise him, whether politely or sincerely.

Chen Yi felt a little embarrassed by the praise. I was so outstanding?

"Xiaoyi, leave your phone number." An old man asked.

He did not ask Fang Yanjun for it, but asked Chen Yi directly face to face. It was obvious that he had his own way of doing things.

Chen Yi first looked at Fang Yanjun and then took out his cell phone.

"It's the world of young people. You can get more exposure to it." Fang Yanjun's words jump out and need to be guessed.

Chen Yi understood that he was probably talking about the descendants of these old people.

That’s how you build your network of contacts. You may know friends of friends, friends of relatives, and the children and grandchildren of your elders.

In a few decades, when Chen Yi's generation is over 50 years old, everything that needs to be replaced will have been replaced, so it is still necessary to become friends in advance.

This is not only beneficial to others, but also to Chen Yi. Who knows what the future will be like.

Others think that Chen Yi has potential, and Chen Yi also thinks that others have potential. The country is so big and there are so many positions, there will always be some top talents and people with powerful backgrounds.

Fang Yanjun, who is trying to pave the way for himself but has half of his body buried in the earth, accidents can happen at any time.

When people leave, the tea gets cold.

Chen Yi accepted this favor. Although they were not related by blood, since he and Fang Shuyu were married, they would become a real family in the future.

He only left his phone number, and the other party did not take any other action after writing it down. Chen Yi guessed that there would be some strange phone calls after marriage.

Or, they will contact you only when they need help.

In fact, he can't do anything in his current position. It's useless to ask him for things that these people with backgrounds can't solve, unless he works as a private detective to catch a mistress or investigate infidelity, which he is good at and can find out in minutes.

As time went by, Fang Shuyu was almost ready, and the staff from the wedding company came over to remind the groom to come in.

The door-closing ceremony is a marriage custom, originally intended to express a woman's reluctance to leave home. Now it has developed into a part of a game, with the groom's family knocking on the door.

Chen Yi had never been married in his two lives and had no experience, but Jiang Fanlei and Xu Can seemed to have made a strategy in advance and created a very successful atmosphere. After a symbolic tug of war, they directly took out a very thick red envelope, and used the excuse that the red envelope could not be stuffed in to trick the bridesmaid into opening a gap. Before the red envelope was taken away, they quickly pushed open the door.

Under the leadership of Jiang Fanlei and Xu Can, Chen Yi easily overcame the difficulties of the closed-door ceremony.

"Well done, I must praise you."

When we arrived at the room, Fang Shuyu was sitting quietly on the bed with a smile on her face. The hem of her fiery red skirt spread out into circles, as light as clouds, like an exquisite painting, with an indescribable solemnity.

The situation quickly fell apart, and the bridesmaid began to "attack" the groomsmen.

Chen Yi silently stepped back pretending to be an invisible person, listening to the "screams" of the two people, and mourning for Jiang Fanlei and Xu Can in his heart.

The two bridesmaids looked good indeed, especially after putting on makeup, but they were still a level lower than Fang Shuyu. There was no embarrassing situation where the bridesmaids looked more glamorous than the bride.

These are all old-fashioned games, but Jiang Fanlei's pain doesn't seem to be fake. Chen Yi can even see his distorted expression and bulging veins. In contrast, Xu Can's personality is much more stable than Jiang Fanlei's, and he is not so relaxed.

Man, you really work hard...

I recorded this scene and will take it out to watch it when I want to in the future. It will also be a sweet memory of the past.

Marrying off a daughter is different from marrying a wife. Fang Shuyu is truly leaving home, so Fang Songping and his wife were a little serious when taking the photo. When Chen Yi took Fang Shuyu's hand and walked out of the room, he looked back and saw Fang Songping wiping tears.

A daughter is a treasure in the palm of her hand, and no father can resist her.
