The Rise of Manjianghong

Chapter 107 Traditional--

The splashed foam of champagne made Ji Li's nostrils itchy. She ** her nose a few times, and the smile on her pretty face for a day was still not faded. She didn't expect that she would be with him again.

In the past week, in addition to staying together for a few hours every day, today the two even took a carriage and went to the beach for a whole day. Even when she looked at him playing the piano at this time, her beautiful eyes were filled with a kind of happiness. Occasionally, she couldn't even believe that it was true. In the past few days, the two of them were playing outside the concession and the concession like a couple.

The beautiful melody echoed in the room. At this time, there was only one sound left in the room: the sound of the piano. A series of notes, crisp and tinkling, flowed out. Chen Moran's hand flew over the keys, and finally, the song was over.

Ji Liqiao, with a smile on her face, sat up from the sofa with a smile and walked towards Chen Moran.

"The same as in the past!"

Under the soft smile, Ji Li's beautiful eyes showed some mischieous look.

"The music is great, but the piano is not so good!"

Chen Moran just picked up the glass from the piano with a smile. The crystal clear champagne slowly flowed to Chen Moran's tongue and turned to look at her. His heartbeat began to accelerate. The girl in front of him, with long golden hair, fell on her perfect round buttocks and swayed with the pace of her body.

The charming smile on the pretty face reveals an elegant and charming temperament, which makes him almost unable to control himself.

"You are so beautiful."

As soon as she walked to Chen Moran, Ji Li's eyes flashed slightly and looked a little surprised.

"What?"

At this time, Chen Moran's words blurted out.

"For the past few months, I have been thinking about you all the time. Although I tried hard, I couldn't get you out of my mind.

His words only made Ji Li's face a little pale, but her eyebrows revealed unconcealed joy. A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Chen Moran. At this moment, she could hardly believe her ears.

"I must admit that this is the biggest mistake I have ever made."

Chen Moran seemed to shake his head helplessly.

"I knew what I missed before - maybe you won't talk to me anymore, but I have to say, I love you."

Ji Li stared at him, as if it had been a long time.

Her silence made Chen Moran couldn't help muttering in his heart. This time I really messed up.

Looking at him, Ji Li's eyes were very focused.

"I think it's the wrong time, or it's too late."

There was some depressed expression on his face, but Chen Moran sighed.

Ji Li still didn't answer, just looked at him.

"God! Is this a dream?"

"Can we go back again?"

Chen Moran smiled helplessly.

"It's as if nothing has happened, okay?"

"You can't go back again."

"That's exactly what I'm worried about."

"And all this has happened."

"Yes, it has already happened."

"You will regret it."

Ji looked at this man seriously, perhaps the separation in the past few months, which made her realize the gap between her and the man she fell in love with because of his talent.

"You want me to get out of here?"

Chen Moran put down the glass in his hand. This is not Chen's house, but Ji Li's home, or Catherine's home.

"No, I want you to kiss me!"

When Chen Moran realized it, his arms had already hugged the girl tightly, and Ji Li's hands had touched the back of his neck. The softness between his mouth only made Chen Moran, who had been abstinent for several months, tremble.

When the two kissed, Chen Moran seemed to feel breathless. At this moment, he had never experienced such a heart-shocking collision. The two kissed deeply for a long time. Chen Moran began to tremble. He couldn't control the instinctive reaction of his body, even with a crazy reaction.

The fingertips are a little numb, and the heart beats with the ups and downs of the chest. Her hands took off her dress excitedly and roughly, kissed her neck, and kissed her smooth abdominal skin. Ji Li's body trembled and fell down with the opportunity, taking him to the floor.

The two hugged, rolled and kissed deeply. At this time, Chen Moran seemed to feel that his soul floated up and left the body. At this time, there was only his own body and Ji Li's body in Chen Moran's consciousness. He stroked Ji Li's smooth and soft skin, and the beautiful skin touch made him more excited. His hand stroked her wildly, which was the kind of rough and not gentle caressing, while Ji Li stretched out her hand on his head, and his throat was seductive. The sound of moaning. Chen Moran wanted to kiss her like this, touch her, and continue over and over again.

"I love you."

Jili's long eyelashes trembled gently, and her watery eyes showed that she had been moved. She bit her lips tightly, and his flushed face looked at Chen Moran emotionally. The beautiful eyes full of water were full of encouragement. At this moment, I'm afraid that even Buddha could not control it.

... Open your eyes and stare at the ceiling. The sunset glow is projected into a crimson beam of light through the window. Ji Li, who was ** all over her body, quietly curled up in his arms like a koala. She had woken up and stroked her slender jade fingers on his chest. Ji Li, with a smile, looked at Chen Moran, who had just woken up. Chen Moran also looked at Ji Li. Under her thin eyebrows, there were a pair of beautiful eyes like two pools of spring water. The emerald-like eyes and the slightly red face on her face formed a fairy-like appearance.

There is no denying that she is very beautiful! But... In fact, the two didn't say a word for a few minutes. But the silence is too long. She moved slowly, and her beautiful spring-like eyes stared at Chen Moran and stroked his cheeks.

"I told you, you will regret it!"

"No! I won't!"

Holding her waist, Chen Moran hugged her tightly in his arms, and then looked at her seriously.

"Now we are the closest and most loving time. No one can lack anyone. Marry the chicken. I want you to follow me step by step."

With a look, Ji Li looked at Chen Moran in surprise. After a while, she put her hands around his neck.

"What you said is true!"

"Hmm! That's it."

"How can anyone propose like this? You don't have to be lazy."

Ji Li, who looks charming and naive, looks reluctant.

"What do you want me to do?"

Holding her tightly, Chen Moran asked again.

"Do you want me to pick a rose and kneel on the ground and beg you?"

"I don't want roses, you Chinese, you don't like to knock..."

When the words came to her mouth, Ji Li still took it back. She knew that this man was very ** for something in his heart. Chen Moran just leaned over and kissed the girl in his arms, sipping the tip of her soft and delicate tongue. Listening to the seductive moans in his ear, Chen Moran was happy in his heart when his desire rose. It seemed that everything was going well.

The next second, the seductive moan came out of Ji Li's bedroom again. At this time, the two people who were immersed in desire did not suppress their inner joy, but shouted out to their heart's content... Kaiser, who lowered his head and looked at her sister with happiness on her face. Last night, the sound from her room came from her room. The sound entered her ears without a sound. The sound only made her sleep well all night. Until the early morning, she accidentally saw a person leaving her sister's room.

"Ji Li, you have been in a good mood recently. Are you with him?"

"Sister, he is very good to me now, and..."

Ji Li, who was full of happiness in her heart, lowered her head and nodded shyly.

"He has proposed to me, I..."

Somehow, when she heard this sentence, there was a sour smell in Catherine's heart.

"You promised!"

"No! You are my sister and my only relative. I want to ask for your permission first.

"You know, even if I object..."

Catherine shook her head helplessly and sighed.

"Women don't stay!"

"Bang!" With a sound, a newspaper was thrown in front of Chen Moran. Looking up, Chen Moran clearly saw what was written on the headline of the newspaper.

"Miss Ji Li: It's not a mental illness!"

Looking at the news, Chen Moran just smiled. The sensation caused by his and Ji Li's wedding in Shanghai was unexpected, but it was unexpected.

"Wei Yang, I have seen this news!"

When he spoke, Chen Moran casually threw the newspaper into the trash can beside him.

The news in the newspaper is not news. Yesterday, two British people went to the British consulate to pay a visit to the vice-consul and asked him to stop their wedding with Ji Li. One of the British also claimed.

"Miss Ji Li must be mentally abnormal. She should ask a doctor to treat her."

Their reasons are very simple. Miss Ji Li is a nobleman. Although she has not inherited the title, her noble bloodline cannot be changed. A British nobleman will marry a Chinese, which is definitely a mental abnormal reaction. The British Vice Consul William just replied, "British law is not allowed. It is not convenient to interfere with the provisions of British citizens marrying Chinese.

But after that, Vice Consul William personally visited Chen Moran, "I hope Mr. Chen can consider the wedding with Miss Ji Li rationally."

"Oh! By the way, you can read this newspaper!"

As if to show off, Chen Moran pointed to another newspaper on the table, which was in the face of doubts and difficulties from the outside world. Ji Li said, "Chen Moran is a lonely son, and he is the wife of the two wives." The response.

Chinese customs allow concubines, and the law stipulates that an only child can marry two wives. Therefore, someone intervenes and asks Ji Li, who has a noble blood. Although the second daughter of a declining nobleman, when she married a Chinese, she signed a reputation with Chen Moran to give up the power to inherit the two wives and take concubines, but Ji Li was categorized. I refused. After knowing it last night, he was so moved! I asked for it several times that night.

"I've seen it! It's not "If the law does not allow me to be Chen's wife, I would like to be his concubine until I die." I admire Miss Ji Li's courage, but..."

Xiao Yuren looked at Chen Moran helplessly. From the beginning, he opposed Chen Moran's forced plan.

The marriage of the two of them caused an uproar in Shanghai and shocked the whole of Shanghai. In the end, in the eyes of some British, this is no longer a matter of the reputation of the British aristocracy. In essence, it is based on the national prejudice of the Western colonists and believes that the noble whites in the West should not marry China. Yellow people. Those people rudely interfered in their marriage, and even trampled on Ji Li's surname dignity, but made the originally opposed Chinese public opinion support the marriage, while Ji Li was not coerted to defend her marriage happiness, and won applause. "Miss Ji Li and Chen Moran married for the problem of personal love, and the third People have nothing to do with it. Nowadays, some British people force them to withdraw from marriage with words, saying that women in strong countries refuse to marry the people of weak countries, and women in weak countries can be the toys of the wives of the people of strong countries. Oh, it's a great sigh. Today, Miss Jili is inseparable from her dear. She is so patient that she is really worthy of being a British woman, which is respectable and lamentable.

In this marriage, Ji Li comes from love, and what about Chen Moran?

"After marriage, I will set up a company in London, which will be run by her. At least nominally, isn't the British Empire still the most powerful country in the world? Ji Li is of British aristocratic blood. Now the United States is in the stage of being rich and noble. Americans seem to be free, but they yearn for aristocrats in their bones. Even if they are a declining aristocrat, this identity will be very helpful for Ji Li to carry out mergers and acquisitions in Mexico! And only in this way can we keep our oil company from being the prey of others!"

When Chen Moran mentioned this marriage, his words echoed in Xiao Yu's ears. Thinking of Ji Li, who defended her love, and the essence of this marriage, he couldn't help sighing.

Xiao Yu's strong sigh made Chen Moran frown. Only he knew the essence of this marriage.

"Wei Yang, since I chose her, I will definitely respect this marriage!"

Marriage is like this. It may be out of love or out of need. Even a hundred years later, millions of Chinese people get married, even simply because of the need to get married, which has nothing to do with love, but just need.

Maybe it's a need. Since I chose this marriage, I will respect her, and I will also respect myself.

"I hope so!"

Xiao Yuyu shook his head helplessly and said softly. As a traditional Chinese, he clearly knew that marriage was only a need for the vast majority of Chinese people. As for love, it was just an unattainable luxury.

Thinking of this, a person came to his mind. Xi Yun, his cousin, when she read the news of Chen Moran's marriage in the newspaper, he became depressed. His little cousin, perhaps... shook her head and threw the idea out.

Looking at Chen Moran, who was dealing with official business in front of him, Xiao Yuren couldn't help thinking of a sentence.

"Those who achieve great things, regardless of trifles!"

On October 27, 1901, on September 16 of the lunar calendar, in the voice of "never be blessed by God", the wedding of Chen Moran and Ji Li was held in Chen's garden. Xiao Yuren, the manager of the company, presided over the wedding.

When Ji Li, who combed her head in a high bun, wore a golden hairpin, and dressed in a red traditional Chinese wedding dress, stepped down from the carriage, when Shi Shi Shi came, the famous figures who came to support her, especially the faces of the ladies were full of amazement.

"What beautiful clothes!"

Ji Li is wearing a red chest-length skirt dress found by Chen Moran from the magazine. The dress is all made of tulle and red silk. The skirt is made of brocade woven by Jiang Ning, which is the "treatment" of Chen Moran from the official title of the third grade.

The British consul's wife, who had never seen Chinese clothes, even let her eyes shine. The elegant beauty in the elegant skirt and shawl made of the heavy gauze made of Ji Li like a fairy. Even those who were going to see Ji Li wearing a "funny cheongsam ugly" after choosing a Chinese wedding were also This elegant and luxurious Chinese costume was stunned.

And the Chinese people at the wedding were also surprised by the beauty of Chinese clothes. When some local Shanghai gentry who came to celebrate the gift looked at the big Chinese-style auspicious clothes with a black background and red embroidery on Chen Moran's body, they showed some shame in their eyebrows. They even looked at Shanghai Dao Yuan Shuxun, who came to congratulate him again. The horse coat also has a little helplessness between the eyebrows.

Or more than ten years ago, the single Han-style wedding and the Han-style auspicious clothes were enough to make Chen Moran lose his head. Even if he had all kinds of excuses, he has just lost 450 million taels now. The capital still needs eight countries to garrison the Qing Dynasty to "protect friendship". The last point of air, with the Gengzi service and the treaty a month ago. With one sign, the face is all gone.

Originally, some people said that this Chinese-style wedding was not in line with the law, but this wedding was held in the concession, and Chen Moran also pushed the matter to Ji Li. His husband was really helpless. In short, it had nothing to do with him. It was Ji Li's idea.

And Ji Li's identity as a British aristocrat is the best shield. Even Cixi, who was preparing to return to Yanjing because of the signing of the Xinchou Treaty a month ago, not only did not say anything about the sudden thought of the "aristocratic lady", but even specially sent someone to send a congratulatory gift to the "British aristocrat". In short, the British The identity of the aristocracy, even if it declines, can still shock the scene in this Qing Dynasty.

After Ji Li got off the carriage, Chen Moran, who wore a big right-handed Han-style suit, wore a crown and greeted him by the door. The golden gauze back, the brass road guide, the ground collapsed like the Han Dynasty, with bronze wine lords, the cumble incense burners and other objects... In the golden sunshine of late autumn, this time has been ten years after the Ming Dynasty, and 246 years later, China The Chinese wedding that reappeared on the earth is not only full of strong classical culture, but also shows endless elegance and romance.

During the wedding, looking at the couple in Han's clothes, as one of the students who came to congratulate Huangpu Sports School, Zheng Chengying kept wiping away the tears from his eyes with his hands. Although he sang "My Han's clothes all day long, I rejuvenate my etiquette." From the day he was born, he had never seen what Han's clothes looked like. Today, he saw it and burst into tears in his eyes.

Somehow, looking at the Han family's clothes on a pair of newcomers in this middle, Li Pingshu, who came to congratulate him, couldn't help humming the song that was designated as "great rebellion" by the court in his heart.

"... The clothes are indelicate, and it finally becomes a masterpiece."
