Chapter 111 King Wen's Wedding 1

Chapter 111 The Wedding of King Wen of Zhou

When Cheng Benqing arrived at the stadium with Wang Chengen and others, the entrance was already crowded with people.

Fortunately, Cheng Benqing was deeply respected by the people of Hanshan because of the city entry tax, and they consciously made way for him and his companions.

Wang Chengen followed behind Cheng Benqing. Upon seeing this scene, he was amazed. He never expected that Mr. Cheng had such a reputation in Hanshan.

When the yamen runner, Old Wu, saw Cheng Benqing, he quickly greeted him, "Mr. Cheng, you've arrived! Please come in!"

Cheng Benqing pointed to Wang Chengen and introduced him: "This is Wang Cheng, a friend I just met."

Old Wu nodded and said, "Mr. Cheng, please don't make things difficult for me. You are a VIP, and if you bring one person to the VIP section, I will pretend I didn't see it. But you brought so many people, isn't that making things difficult for me?"

"Brother Cheng, it's alright. Just let my few young men go in and have a look at the fun. They don't need to come with us," Wang Chengen said with a smile.

"Master, you mustn't!" Sun Bing said in a low voice, fearing something might go wrong.

"It's alright!" Wang Chengen waved his hand with a smile, and Sun Bing dared not object any further.

Cheng Benqing said with a smile, "Just the two of us, is that alright?"

Old Wu quickly cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Cheng, please excuse me, please come in!"

Cheng Benqing said to Sun Bing, "When the event ends, you two should wait for us here. Otherwise, with so many people, it'll be hard to find each other if you get separated."

"Understood." Sun Bing nodded.

Cheng Benqing led Wang Chengen to the VIP section.

Geng San and the others quickly greeted Old Cheng: "Mr. Cheng, you've arrived! And who is this?"

Cheng Benqing introduced them one by one.

"Greetings, fellow brothers!" Wang Chengen greeted them with clasped hands.

As soon as Wang Chengen sat down, he saw an old man pulling a policewoman in the distance, the two of them arguing and pulling at each other.

"Grandpa, what are you doing? I still have to be on duty!" Zhang Jiao tried to shake off Old Zhang's hand.

"Jiaojiao, listen to me, you can't act up today!" Old Zhang dragged Zhang Jiao to the VIP section.

"Haha..." Cheng Benqing laughed, "Old Zhang, you've come to your grandson-in-law's wedding too?"

"Pfft..." Geng San covered his mouth and laughed, secretly glancing at Zhang Jiao, thankfully she didn't see him.

Old Zhang ignored Old Cheng's sarcastic remarks. He held his granddaughter Zhang Jiao firmly and said earnestly, "Jiaojiao, Grandpa knows you're unhappy that your husband has taken a concubine. But you must understand that jealousy is one of the seven grounds for divorce. On the day of the courtesan competition, you went on stage and hit your husband. Is that what a woman should do? You made Grandpa lose all face!"

"Grandpa! Wang Wenzhou married a courtesan! Not a concubine! Mother is almost driven to her death by him! That fatso is shameless, immoral, disloyal, and unfilial, and he doesn't even acknowledge Mother!" Zhang Jiao said viciously.

"Jiaojiao, be good. Don't worry, Boxin promised me that this woman will not enter the Xinjian Earl's mansion, nor will she be included in the Xinjian Earl's family genealogy. She will only be considered his mistress. It's normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. You must not cause any more trouble!" Old Zhang glared fiercely at his granddaughter.

Wang Chengen initially had a good impression of Wang Wenzhou, but after listening to the conversation between Old Zhang's granddaughter and Wang Wenzhou, he frowned. Wang Wenzhou was a dissolute and unambitious man; what a waste of his talent!

As the auspicious time approached, Li Yajing, the wedding emcee, quickly walked to the center of the stage.

"Wow……"

"Please! Please don't sing today!"

The crowd in the stadium immediately erupted in cheers. Many people had enjoyed Li Yajing's folk songs and were very "fond" of her singing skills, wishing she would get off the stage right now.

Li Yajing wore a bridesmaid wedding dress today, a light pink skirt with countless pleats. A layer of light gauze softly veiled the pleats. The uneven lace at the cuffs added to the delicate beauty. Red roses, spiraling from the shoulders downwards, adorned the dress. The well-tailored gown and the full skirt made her look like a princess in the clouds, elegant and gorgeous.

The wedding dress was, of course, designed by Wang Wenzhou. He was utterly exasperated by the goddess! She went through dress after dress, but none of them suited her taste! Frustrated, Wang Wenzhou had no choice but to design a "wedding dress" for her. Whether in ancient or modern times, goddesses' aesthetic sense is largely the same; this goddess loved wedding dresses, so for today's wedding, the wedding dress became the gown.

"Quiet!" Li Yajing pouted, feigning anger, and said, "If you don't quiet down, I'm going to sing!"

"brush!"

As soon as Li Yajing finished speaking, the gymnasium fell silent. The threat of the "out-of-tune king" was very effective.

Li Yajing smiled slightly, pointed to her wedding dress, and asked, "Fellow villagers, do I look beautiful in this dress today?"

"nice!"

"Pretty!"

Li Yajing nodded proudly and said, "Tingermei Apparel, making women feel good. Today's wedding attire for the two newlyweds is entirely provided by Tingermei Apparel. Love is sweet, time flies, longing lasts a long time, and life is short. If you love, please dress her in a Tingermei wedding gown, hold her tightly, never leave her, and be devoted to her until death! Let the pure white wedding dress witness your eternal love! Tingermei wedding gown, a lifetime of love!"

Wang Chengen was dumbfounded. Was this a wedding speech? It sounded so awkward!

The people of Hanshan, however, were used to it. They understood that this was the "advertisement" Wang Qingtian had mentioned, a way of spreading the word. Wang Qingtian was genuinely good to Miss Sheng; he even promoted his brother-in-law's clothing store at the wedding.

At the edge of the stage, Wang Qiang gestured to Li Yajing, who nodded in agreement.

Li Yajing began by saying, "The auspicious time has arrived. Now, please welcome the bride and groom to the stage!"

"Ding ding ding... ding ding ding ding..." The policewoman band played the wedding march.

Wang Wenzhou held Sheng Lan's little hand and entered the venue through the aisle of the audience seats.

"I will hold your hand and grow old with you!" Wang Wenzhou said softly.

"Mmm!" Goddess Sheng Lan secretly glanced at Wang Wenzhou beside her and nodded with emotion.

Today, Wang Wenzhou wore a well-fitting black suit with a crisp white shirt and a red tie. If we disregard his overweight physique, Wang Wenzhou did indeed look somewhat like a male god. Wang Wenzhou doesn't actually like wearing suits, but since the goddess was wearing a wedding dress, the "male god" had no choice but to wear a suit to match.

The goddess Sheng Lan wore a pure white wedding dress with a long train trailing behind her. Sheng Lan was a little nervous, tightly gripping Wang Wenzhou's large hand, which was covered in sweat. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was deeply moved. Her husband was so good to her, holding such a grand wedding for her and inviting the entire population of Hanshan. With such a husband, what more could a wife ask for!

"Hmph!" Zhang Jiao snorted coldly, clearly annoyed.

"Jiaojiao, what do you want to do?" Old Zhang grabbed his granddaughter, afraid that she would cause trouble.

"Grandpa, I need to go to the outhouse!" Zhang Jiao said, both amused and exasperated.

Old Zhang nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Zhang Jiao wasn't going to the restroom at all. She left the VIP section and angrily charged at the newlyweds who were entering the room.
