I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 471 The Big Wedding
It's 10 PM.

Fang Qingye began to explain.

Originally, wedding processions in Nanxin were divided into "Da Dai" and "Xiao Dai". The wedding procession that took place during the day was called "Da Dai", while the wedding procession that took place at night was called "Xiao Dai".

Whether it's a "big belt" or a "small belt" is determined based on the bride and groom's birth dates and times.

Fang Qingye's grandmother was a big believer in this, so she took the two of them's birth dates and times to an old monk at Dinghui Temple to help her calculate their birth time. The calculation went on until 10 p.m., and the monk said it was an auspicious time.

But Fang Qingye always felt that the old monk was talking nonsense and deliberately trying to trick him.

Didn't they say that Song Dahai and Qian Xiaoli's birth charts were compatible and that they could become husband and wife?
As a result, Song Dahai and Chen Meimei are already engaged and are expected to get married before the Chinese New Year, while Qian Xiaoli is still single.

After Fang Qingye's explanation, Qiao Yongfeng was dumbfounded. He had no idea such a custom existed. After a moment, he said, "Hehe, I'll definitely come and see for myself. I'll be welcoming the bride tonight!"

October 2nd arrived quickly, and the Fang family began to get busy early that morning. Although the wedding was scheduled for the evening, many relatives and friends arrived during the day.

Today is a holiday, so many working classmates and friends, such as Liu Dong and Yan Hua, came over with their wives to come and help.

The new houses in the lakeside villas couldn't accommodate so many people, so everyone gathered around the nursery, where there was plenty of space.

Fang Qingye was also here, but he had nothing to do and was bored.

The steward was in charge of all the affairs, both inside and outside the office. Originally, Song Dahai volunteered to be the steward, but the elders rejected him, thinking he was too young. As the saying goes, "a young man with no experience is unreliable." In the end, Zhao Wenjun took on the position.

Zhao Wenjun is a well-known figure in Nanxin County. She knows many people and is knowledgeable about various etiquette and customs, making this position very suitable for her.

In the end, Song Dahai could only reluctantly accept the position of deputy chief steward, who was specifically responsible for welcoming the bride, and of course, he also had assistants.

Shi Yong, the son of the owner of Linyuan Company, was one of them, and he was in charge of arranging wedding cars.

In front of the townhouses in the Lakeside Elegant Residence community, there were rows of luxury cars. There was no need to rent them from the Jinghai Wedding Company; Song Dahai had arranged for them all. He had the rich second-generation contribute all the luxury cars from their homes, and even made it clear in advance that he didn't want any that were only partially new or used!
The wedding car was a Rolls-Royce Phantom 7 with a gold emblem and the license plate number "8888"!
Fang Qingye actually thought her Mercedes ML350 was pretty good, and she had only driven it for two years, but it was collectively rejected by the rich second generation led by Song Dahai.

You're a second-generation rich kid from Nanxin, not a representative of first-generation rich. You think a car worth a million or so is enough to get rid of you?
It's fine for everyday use, but absolutely not as a wedding car.

In the end, Li Le had a way. He knew a friend in Jinghai city who drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom with the license plate "8888"!
Hearing that it was Fang Qingye's wedding, he generously lent him the money, and even said he would come back on the wedding day to ask for a cup of celebratory wine.

As for other things like banquets, ceremonies, and wedding processions, he doesn't need to worry about them. He can just follow along with whatever the head steward arranges.

In the afternoon, the nursery became even more lively, with guests from afar, such as those from Shanghai and Anhui, arriving one after another.

In Shanghai, apart from a few classmates like Liu Shuai, the attendees were all executives from several companies, such as Li Li from Tuofang Technology, Wei Xinghua from Tomorrow Cube, Xin Tiejun from Zhiyun Technology, and Zhang Xuhao from Ele.me. Zhang Yimin from ByteDance in Beijing and Wang Tao from DJI in Shenzhen were too busy with work and lived far away, so they made a special phone call to congratulate them, though they still managed to have gifts sent to them.

Huang Hua and Liu Ximeiduo also came, and Li Ye and Liu Xigesang also made a special trip from western Sichuan. One of the sisters is from her parents' home in Bai'ou, and the other is from her husband's home in Fang Qingye's area. Meiduo also served as a bridesmaid and was very happy.

Another example is Lin Guangmao and his group who invest in futures.

Fang Qingye had only invited Shi Guangrong and had not notified Lin Guangmao and the others. However, the others came uninvited after finding out, so Fang Qingye gave them a warm welcome.

On the evening of the wedding day, there is a series of ceremonies and banquets. Sweet wine is served (for the bride's family and elders), and a banquet is held before the bride departs for the wedding procession. All those involved in the wedding procession will attend, and preparations for the procession will continue until 9 p.m.

Bai Ou's home is in Bihai Garden, usually only a ten-minute drive from Lakeside Residence, but this time it took more than half an hour. The car fleet consisted entirely of luxury vehicles, with the Rolls-Royce VII attracting particular attention; pedestrians on both sides of the street stopped to watch.

"Whose child is getting married? Why such a big fuss?" an elderly woman asked her companion after returning home from square dancing.

“You don’t know, Fang Jianwen, the principal of Chengguan Middle School, has a son named Fang Qingye,” his companion said.

The old woman was a little puzzled. "Even the principal's child doesn't need such a grand wedding, does he? It's even more extravagant than the weddings of the children of wealthy families!"

"Such a grand display isn't just because his father is the principal. He himself is successful; he's the president of Jinghai Bank, and I've heard he owns several other companies," his companion said.

"Oh, it's him? I have some money deposited at Jinghai Bank. The interest rates are high and the service is good!" the old lady replied immediately.

"Hmm. I'm also planning to save more. I heard that the interest rate is higher when you save money through mobile banking, but I don't know how to use it."

"Have your daughter teach you; the interest rate for a three-year term is 0.1 percentage points higher."

"I'll go back and look for my daughter."

The building is leaning to one side.

The wedding car entered the residential area. Fang Qingye, dressed in a suit and tie and holding a bouquet of flowers, took the elevator to the 16th floor surrounded by a group of people. Fortunately, Nan Xin did not have the habit of squeezing through doors. He quickly picked up Bai Ou, who was sitting on the bed in a white wedding dress, in a princess carry and prepared to go downstairs.

According to custom, the bride's feet cannot touch the ground, so Fang Qingye has to carry the white lotus root downstairs and put it on the wedding car.

No elevator allowed! You have to carry me down.
Damn it.

Seeing her bride surrounded by her bridesmaids at the elevator entrance, laughing and joking, Fang Qingye gritted her teeth and, with the help of her bridesmaid Mei Duo, carried her on her back down from the 16th floor.
By the time I got downstairs, I was drenched in sweat; my back was killing me.
It seems I need to exercise more in the future.

The wedding cars went directly to the Chundu Hotel, where the wedding ceremony will be held tonight.

The entire hotel lobby and the private rooms on the second floor were booked out, totaling eighty-five tables!

This doesn't even include those who were invited but didn't attend the banquet. Immediately following was the ceremony and toasting, which kept them busy until 12:30 before finally ending.

The guests gradually dispersed, and the guests who had come from afar were arranged to rest at the Chundu Hotel. Fang Qingye and Bai Ou were sent back to their new house. They were already exhausted, and Fang Qingye collapsed onto the wedding bed, not wanting to move at all.

Bai Ou had already changed into a red Chinese-style wedding dress. After removing her makeup, she changed into casual clothes. Seeing Fang Qingye still lying in bed, she couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"Hey, Yezi, tonight is our wedding night! Haven't you been wanting to do 'that' for a while? Why can't we?"

shit
They actually said I'm not good enough?!
Upon hearing his wife's teasing, Fang Qingye jumped up.

"You wait, I'm going to take a shower, and then I'll see how I deal with you!"

"Go wash up, I'd like to see how you clean up," Bai Ou said, her eyes sparkling.

On the very night of Fang Qingye and Bai Ou's wedding, Xia He, thousands of miles away, had just finished get off work.
