The phone was quickly connected, and Li Xiaona's joyful and excited voice sounded on the other end: "Brother, is it you? Are you here?" I was about to call you and ask if you have arrived. Li Rui smiled slightly and said, "Your sister and I have already arrived, just sit in the banquet hall, where are you?" Li Xiaona said: "I am also in the banquet hall, you go inside, there are two private rooms in the innermost, I am the one on the left, and Lao Xu is also there." I...... It's not convenient to go out and walk around, you can find it yourself, okay?" When Li Rui heard her mention Xu Gengnian, she used the title "Old Xu", and her tone was casual and natural, it sounded like she and Xu Gengnian were already very familiar, and she couldn't help but feel a little delicious in her heart, but what was the point of eating again? ”

He hung up the phone, stood up, and said to Dong Jieyu, "Let's go, Xiao Na is in the private room inside." Dong Jieyu sighed and stood up.

The two walked out of the round table, walked along the corridor between the seats to the depths of the hall, and when they came to the end, they saw two inconspicuous private rooms, the door on the right was closed, and the door on the left was open, and Li Xiaona, who was wearing a big red cheongsam wedding dress, was looking out excitedly.

When Li Rui walked to the door of the private room, he happened to bump into her, and the two of them looked at each other, almost at the same time, staring at each other, and no one spoke.

But Li Rui soon found that Xu Gengnian was greeted inside, and he hurriedly shifted his gaze from Li Xiaona's face, took two steps, and greeted: "Governor Xu......" Xu Gengnian greeted him, took the initiative to reach out to him, and said with a smile: "There is no Governor Xu here today, only Lao Xu." Also, in the future, as long as it's not on an official occasion, Xiaorui, don't call me Governor Xu, if you call me like that, you won't recognize me as a brother-in-law, haha. ”

This vice governor, who is about 50 years old, today wears a suit and leather shoes, wears flowers and red stickers, and even bakes his hair in oil, he looks a lot younger, with an indescribable smile on his face, and even his eyelashes are blooming, it can be seen that he is really happy today. In fact, he also has reason to be happy, if he is an old man who is over half a hundred years old, he can marry such a charming little beauty as Li Xiaona, I am afraid he will laugh.

Li Rui saw that Xu Gengnian said it wittily and politely, and he was also happy in his heart, so he stretched out his hands and shook hands with him, saying, "Uh...... I don't dare to call you brother-in-law, I'd better call you big brother. Xu Gengnian smiled and nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, just call it big brother, there is no problem with this title, hehe." Come on, sit inside, who's that...... Xiao Dong, Xiao Na's sister, Jieyu, you see, I patronized and greeted my brother-in-law, but I forgot about you, sister-in-law, hehe, please come in. As he spoke, he turned sideways and moved out of the door and beckoned Li Rui and Dong Jieyu to come in.

Dong Jieyu had a reserved and elegant smile on her face, and said as she walked inside: "Then I will also learn from Xiaorui and call you big brother." Xu Gengnian smiled and said: "Okay, good, I'm very happy that you call me that, it makes me feel a lot younger, hehe." Cortana, beckon your sister and brother to sit down. ”

When Li Xiaona heard this, she walked up, took Dong Jieyu's hand affectionately, called Sister, and pulled her to the house.

The four of them walked into the private room and sat down separately, Dong Jieyu and Li Xiaona sat together affectionately, muttering private words.

Li Rui saw that the two sisters were chatting affectionately, so he had to chat with Xu Gengnian and ask about the wedding. Xu Gengnian gave a brief introduction, and took the initiative to talk about Li Xiaona's work.

After Li Xiaona and Xu Gengnian came to the provincial capital, Xu Gengnian loved and cherished this young and beautiful fiancée very much, and found her five good jobs in one go, and asked her to choose the most desirable job to do. But who knows, the jobs he is looking for are good, but the relative requirements are also high, and Li Xiaona's academic knowledge and technical ability are not qualified at all, so none of them were selected. The two discussed, and finally decided that Li Xiaona would not work in the short term, and would be a full-time wife at home to serve Xu Gengnian's daily life. Anyway, with Xu Gengnian, the vice governor, even if she doesn't work for the rest of her life, she definitely doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking. Of course, if Li Xiaona is tired of being a full-time wife at home, she can also find a job to pass the boring time, but then I will talk about it then, anyway, there is no hurry now.

Li Rui nodded when he heard this, this is a matter for the two of them, what should they do to discuss it themselves, it is inconvenient for them to express their opinions, and they are not qualified to express their opinions, and said with a smile: "Big brother, I have something I want to talk to you about in private, is it convenient for you now?" Xu Gengnian was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "It's convenient, it's convenient, let's go, let's go out." ”

The two of them walked out of the private room and went to the empty private room next door.

Li Rui closed the door with his backhand, walked in front of Xu Gengnian, considered the wording, and said: "Big brother, that's the case, Xiao Na got married today, and it is her blessing to marry such an excellent and outstanding person as you as big brother, and Jieyu and I are both happy for her in our hearts." As Cortana's mother's family, Jieyu and I have prepared some dowry money, not much, only 500,000 yuan, and I plan to give it to your husband and ......wife."

He babbled about this, and suddenly saw Xu Gengnian's brows, and hurriedly explained: "Governor Xu, I know that you don't think you have less money, you just think we are doing this too much, right? You listen to me explain to you, first of all, you marry Xiao Na, Xiao Na's mother's family has more or less a dowry." Xiao Na's family must also understand the situation, I won't say more, I just say, her mother's family is now only me and Jieyu, so I and Jieyu have the responsibility and obligation to pay this money; secondly, although this money is not much, but it is a heart between me and Jieyu, I and Jieyu are not her brothers and sisters, better than her brothers and sisters, we come out of this marriage, but also to make her life more comfortable and easier in the future; , maybe Xiao Na will have no face in front of your group of relatives and friends, for the sake of her face today and in the future, it is necessary for us to come out with this dowry. I still think that this dowry money should be handed over to you and your husband at the wedding ceremony later, which can be regarded as earning a little face for Cortana......"

Xu Gengnian frowned and listened to him, and when he finished speaking, his thick eyebrows had already stretched, he sighed with a smile, raised his hand, patted him lightly on the shoulder twice, and then said with emotion: "You have a saying that is very right, you and Jieyu are not Xiao Na's brother and sister, they are better than brother and sister." If nothing else, I am deeply moved by your consideration. The two of you are very thoughtful, and you also think about Cortana from the bottom of your heart, compared to your heart, the 500,000 is not worth mentioning. ”

In fact, Xu Gengnian still didn't say something to Li Rui, that is: He also thought about Li Xiaona's face, and this wedding ceremony was completely for Li Xiaona alone, and it was done for her face.

As Lu Qingman once analyzed, Xu Gengnian, as the vice governor, is married for the second time, and he is married to a young and beautiful girl like Li Xiaona, although it is a good thing, but it will not be too good to hear, Xu Gengnian himself knows this, so he didn't plan to hold a wedding at all, just thinking that he got a certificate with Li Xiaona, and then called two relatives, sat at two tables for a meal, and everyone got to know each other, forget it, if it is really a big deal, everyone will know it, but it will make everyone embarrassed. But as he became more and more familiar with Li Xiaona, and his relationship became deeper and deeper, he also liked this girl more and more, and began to think about her wholeheartedly, and then thought that although he was a second marriage, he was a first marriage; After thinking about it like this, I finally decided to hold a wedding for her, so that she could marry in style. Of course, even if you want to have a wedding, you don't have to do it much, just keep a low profile as much as possible.

This is also the origin of today's wedding scene, which is not too big.

Xu Gengnian is wholeheartedly thinking about Li Xiaona's face, to put it bluntly, he loves her very much, so after hearing Li Rui's consideration of supporting Li Xiaona's face, he is very emotional in his heart, happy that Li Xiaona has such a good brother, and he also recognizes Li Rui's character more and more. However, he is a high-ranking vice governor, much older than Li Rui, and he is still Li Xiaona's official husband, so he will not tell his consideration for Li Xiaona. It's a matter of course to think about your wife, do you need to tell others?

Li Rui smiled and said, "Then did you agree with my proposal?" Xu Gengnian nodded with a smile and said, "Agreed, I will talk to the master of ceremonies later, and let him leave a little time for you when you recognize your relatives at the wedding ceremony." Li Rui was very happy and said, "Okay, then it's decided." Xu Gengnian patted him on the shoulder again and praised: "Xiao Rui, you are a brother, you look like a brother, very good." Li Rui said modestly: "Speaking of which, Xiao Na still hurts." Xu Gengnian smiled and said, "You go back and talk to Xiao Na and them, I'll go out to socialize." Li Rui said: "Okay, you can do it yourself." ”

The two walked out of the private room one after another, and Li Rui saw Xu Gengnian go to greet the guests and friends, so he went back to the private room next door.

When Dong Jieyu saw him coming back, she got up and said, "I'll go to the bathroom." He walked out. Li Rui watched her pass by, and almost couldn't help but say, "Why do you pee so much today?"
