Chapter 207 We Are Here to Get Married

The next day, Su Siqi ran out again on the pretext that her classmate celebrated her birthday.

When I arrived at the hotel, it was 5 minutes before nine o'clock.After knocking once, the door opened in response, the man opened his arms towards her, and Su Siqi flung herself into his arms shyly.

In fact, no amount of kissing is enough. When the love is strong, I wish I could just kiss forever like this.

When both of them were a little distracted, the man let go in time, "Let's go, let's get married."

Su Siqi took his arm: "Okay, let's get married."

From Su Siqi's point of view, Shen Mengqing was just looking for an excuse to stay here for one more day.After running all the way here, and the weather is so cold, it's not that she is not moved. She also wants to have a good time with him for a day, so she listens to whatever the man says.

Yuxiang City used to be a county seat, but it has just been upgraded to a prefectural city. The place is not big, and there are not many places to play. Su Siqi spent three years in high school here, so she is very familiar with it. She plans to take Shen Mengqing to the busiest commercial area. Go for a walk in the street.

Unexpectedly, when she left the hotel, there would be a car waiting at the door, and Shen Mengqing opened the door for her personally: "Please, Mrs. Shen."

Su Siqi sat in very cooperatively, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

The car was not driving fast, and there were tall and low buildings on both sides of the road. Su Siqi pointed out the window and introduced the city to the man, "Do you see the tallest building? It is the telecom building in Yuxiang, and it is also the tallest building. It’s more than 100 meters away! The Weirong Department Store on the right is the most luxurious shopping mall in the city. It’s a high-end shopping mall. I heard that it was built by Hong Kong people, and the thieves are rich. Turn left in front of it and it’s an old road. There is a Yuxiang No. [-] Middle School inside. , that is my alma mater, and children from all over the world are proud to be admitted to Yuxiang No. [-] Middle School. Entering No. [-] Middle School is equivalent to stepping into college with half a foot... Hey, where are you going?"

Su Siqi was talking incessantly, when suddenly the car drove into a small alley, narrow road, rough road, seeing the car coming in, the people walking towards him stood far away from the wall, let them go first past.Inside the wall was a tall door frame, painted red or green, and the door was black with two rusty knockers.

Su Siqi knew where this was, "So you wanted to visit the old city, which has a long history. Walking from this alley to the inside, there is a cathedral called the Sacred Heart Cathedral, which was left over from the war years. I remember reading There was an old Portuguese man in the church who was very kind and gave us biscuits. This church is the most famous in Yuxiang City."

"Oh." Shen Mengqing seemed to be interested, "Why don't you introduce me to me."

Su Siqi pretended to cough twice, and said in a tone of voice: "I heard that the Sacred Heart Cathedral was built by the Spanish. It has pointed towers and lightning rods. It has a unique shape and is called a Tego-style building..."

Shen Mengqing raised his eyelids: "Is it a Gothic building?"

"Yes, yes, the Gothic architecture seems to have existed in the period of the Republic of China, at least for more than 100 years. There are many arches and pointed tops inside. There are colorful figure paintings on the window glass, which are some religious stories. , very beautiful..." Su Siqi racked her brains to describe the appearance of the Sacred Heart Cathedral to the man with the little memory left.

Before she finished speaking, the car had already stopped at the door of the church.Su Siqi smiled and said, "So you really want to come here to have a look."

Shen Mengqing didn't speak, but his expression turned serious, and he took her hand and walked in.

The church was quiet, no one was there.The huge stone pillars intersect to form a pointed arch, extending from the gate to the altar. There are a large number of circular rose windows on the surrounding walls. The colors are very strong, red, yellow, blue, green, and the sun shines in from the outside. Filtered by glass, it reflects strong colors, which are soft and solemn.

Walking in such a solemn place, Su Siqi suddenly became a little nervous, and asked Shen Mengqing in a low voice, "Why is there no one there?" After thinking about it, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, who will come to the church?

In fact, they were not alone. They walked past rows of wooden chairs. Su Siqi saw a priest standing on the altar from a distance. It was not the Portuguese old man she had seen before, but a Chinese man in his 30s. people.

He is slightly fat, with a smile on his face and a kind voice: "Welcome, I am Father Chen,"

Shen Mengqing said: "We are here to get married."

Father Chen said: "Bless you, please come to the front."

Shen Mengqing led Su Siqi forward.

Father Chen looked them over and said, "Report your names."

"Shen Mengqing, Su Siqi."

Father Chen poured some water in a white porcelain bowl, wiped it on their foreheads, put his right hand on a thick Bible, and read a long passage, "Lord, we come before you, Bless this pair of men and women who have entered the holy palace of marriage, according to the will of the Lord, the two will become one, and the wedding ceremony will be held, and they will grow old together forever. door, so that both husband and wife can benefit from great grace..."

Su Siqi stood there bewildered, what is this Father Chen doing?Why do you have to wipe water on their foreheads, why do you have to say these weird words?Why did Shen Mengqing listen with a serious face?When did the church start offering visitors the game of getting married?
After finishing speaking, Father Chen asked Shen Mengqing: "Do you want this woman to be your wife and make a marriage contract with her? Love her, take care of her, respect her, accept her, and be loyal to her forever regardless of illness or health, or any other reason." Unswerving until the end of life?"

The man replied loudly: "I am willing."

"Ask the groom to print your fingerprints on this certificate to show his loyalty."

Shen Mengqing dipped his thumb in the inkpad, and pressed his fingerprint on a small piece of paper full of foreign letters.

Father Chen asked Su Siqi again: "Do you want this man to be your husband and enter into a marriage contract with him? Love him, take care of him, respect him, accept him, and be loyal to him forever regardless of illness or health, or any other reason." Until the end of life?"

Su Siqi's palms are sweating, it's just a game, do you want to be so serious?She glanced at Shen Mengqing at a loss, and the man also looked at her, with eager anticipation and nervousness in his eyes.

You know it's fake, why are you so nervous?Su Siqi swallowed involuntarily, and said softly, "I am willing."

Father Chen asked her to press her fingerprints on a small piece of paper.

"Now, the groom can put a ring on the bride."

Shen Mengqing took out a box from his pocket, inside was a pair of thin rings, not like wedding rings, but ordinary couple rings, he took one and put it on Su Siqi's ring finger.

"Bride, please put a ring on the groom."

Su Siqi put the remaining one on Shen Mengqing's ring finger.

Father Chen held the hands of Shen Mengqing and Su Siqi, and said, "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I declare that you are married. God has joined you together, and no one can separate you." He paused, smiling The meaning is deeper: "Groom, now you can kiss your bride."

Shen Mengqing really picked up her face and kissed her.

Su Siqi's heart skipped a beat. A man often kisses her, but it's the first time to kiss her in front of other people... Nothing is left behind in this ceremony!
She was very shy, but she didn't dare to struggle, because no bride would refuse a kiss at the wedding.

Finally, Father Chen carefully handed over the two certificates to them, and the ceremony was considered complete.

Su Siqi followed Shen Mengqing to the church gate in a daze, but the car that brought them was gone.She asked stupidly, "Where's the car?"

"That's the hotel's car. It sent us here and then went back."

"Where do we go now?"

Shen Mengqing raised his hand to check the time: "Well, there is still some time, let's spend half a day on our honeymoon."

Su Siqi was no longer nervous when she got out of the church. Hearing what the man said, she giggled, "Okay, let's go back to the honeymoon and make it look real. That priest can tell he's fake!"

"Who says it's false? Father Chen is a serious priest. He would not preside over a wedding for ordinary people."

Su Siqi blinked her eyes: "What does the priest mean?"

"It can be regarded as the leader of the priests, leading other priests and believers in the parish."

"Why...why does he want to participate in this game?"

"What game?" The man's face darkened: "Do you think it's a joke?" He held up the certificate in his hand: "This is the real marriage certificate. We have fingerprinted it, so don't rely on it."

Su Siqi looked at the certificate in his hand that he didn't understand a word, and stammered: "You, are you serious? We, this, this is considered married?"

"Yes, married." The man nodded: "This is recognized internationally."

Su Siqi also had one in her hand. She carefully identified the words on it, but still didn't recognize any of them: "It's not in English, what is it written on?"

"It's Greek, and it means to prove that we are a legal couple."

Su Siqi felt that she was dreaming, thinking that she was playing a game together, but she got married in a daze.

The man frowned slightly: "You don't seem very happy?"

She lowered her head and muttered: "I thought...you were joking."

"I'm not going to joke about getting married."

Su Siqi looked at her toes, the brown round-toed boots were shining in the sun, she still couldn't believe it, she just got married just like that!If you let the old man know, he will be scared to death, right?

"Really don't want to?"

The sun was shining brightly, but the surrounding temperature dropped suddenly. Su Siqi's heart was broken, and she raised her head: "I am willing."

The man looked at her carefully: "Just smile if you want."

Are you not laughing?She felt that she was laughing all the time, her gums were all exposed, isn't that too exaggerated?Just as she was about to adjust, the man suddenly kissed her and sealed her lips tightly.

Behind them is the majestic cathedral. The stained glass on the top is refracted brilliantly by the sun, like a colorful rainbow.

Su Siqi squinted her eyes to appreciate the beautiful rainbow light, and the unexpected man bit her lightly, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Concentrate."

She chuckled and slowly closed her eyes.
