154 When the engagement is in progress
"Young master, it's time, it's time to go down." Han Gan urged.
Han Gan seemed to be very energetic, and after following Situ Nan to see the world, he was also a lot calmer. Situ Nan's presence on such an important occasion today is a challenge to his security work.
"Good. Let's go down" Situ Nan got up, rinsed his saliva, covered up the smell of wine on his body a little, and walked down the stairs after tidying up his clothes.
This is a high-level banquet, and there are not many people in attendance, only hundreds of people in total, just a big man with a lot of weight.
Representatives of the Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago and other consortia came.
The Vanderbilt family, which made their fortunes in the Gilded Age, and other big families in New York were also present, most of these snake families came because of the Mellon family, and had little connection with Situ Nan, the upstart of the West, except for the Roosevelt family.
Of course, there are also important members of the Mellon family, and the number of seven aunts and six mothers-in-law has come a lot. There are no relatives on Situan's side, but Los Angeles is too far away, and time is so tight, so some people Mary and Little Tom can't attend today's engagement.
The members of the William Consortium were unable to attend today's banquet because they had to complete the planning and arrangement of the William meeting that Situ Nan had recently held on the William.
This engagement was indeed a bit hasty, and it coincided with the month when the United States had just declared its entry into the war, and it was normal for the company to be unable to leave.
But it doesn't matter, no one is there, Situ Nan is still very happy when the ceremony arrives.
Although Dennis? The Fargo man presided over the Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco, and the Fargo family in Buffalo, New York, received an invitation, and many people came.
Well, the gift is also very powerful, giving Situ Nan a set of precious gold coins, which is a souvenir specially collected by the Fargo family when they ran a gold panning business in the west, which is very valuable.
In addition to the Fargo family, Hantec who happened to be on business trip in New York? Mr. and Mrs. Brown were also present, and his wife Molly has been able to contribute a lot these days.
"Girl, you are so beautiful today, make sure that Stoney kid is stunned haha" In Laura's room, Molly looked at the newly dressed bride-to-be and smiled, her face was full of happiness, like a mother, feeling relieved and a little reluctant.
Situ Nan and Laura are two good young people that Molly met on the Titanic, and now they can come together, which also makes Molly happy.
"Isn't this lipstick a little lighter? Isn't your hair a little messy? Laura looked at herself in the mirror and felt a little nervous, feeling that she was not perfect enough.
"No, just don't be nervous, just think of it as an exercise in getting married. Today you're the prettiest in the show," Molly cheered up. As a person who has come over, she naturally understands Laura's mood at this moment.
"Okay, I'm going to go down, otherwise your sweetheart will be in a hurry." Molly gently took Laura's hand and walked out the door.
People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, as today's protagonist, Situ Nan looks more heroic than usual. Dressed in a crisp white suit, his leather shoes were polished, revealing his upright figure.
Leonardo's hairstyle, well-defined contours, confident eyes, and a charming smile on his lips, the handsomeness here is not only reflected in the heart, but also in the appearance.
No, I was recognized as soon as I went downstairs.
"Hey, congratulations, Stoney is so handsome today" Situ Nan just walked down and saw Franklin who was singing with his wife? Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt.
"Thank you." Situ Nan replied generously, "Franklin, I didn't expect you to come, I'm so glad." ”
Situ Nan was a little surprised by the arrival of the other party, you must know that as an important figure in the US Navy, Franklin? Roosevelt was a great deal of opportunity.
"Doesn't this happen to be in New York? It's still possible to take a little time out for your engagement wedding. ”
Franklin? Roosevelt was honest that one of the projects he had come to New York from his busy schedule was also related to Situ Nan.
After a few words of greeting, Situ Nan said to Eleanor? Roosevelt said: "Madam, there has been a breakthrough in the preparation of the school, and substantial work will soon be available." But now I'm going to miss the company, and we'll find time to talk after the meeting. ”
"Okay" Eleanor? Roosevelt replied decently. She was a little curious about what Situ Nan said about the preparation of the school, which had made progress so quickly.
Franklin? Roosevelt knew about his wife and Situ Nan's plans to build a school, and he was very supportive of it.
After Stuart walked away, Franklin? Roosevelt naturally socialized with the rich people in attendance, and as a politician (or politician), he knew how to package and sell himself at all times, let alone Franklin? Roosevelt hadn't yet reached that height
"Hello Mr. Roosevelt."
Not long after Situ Nan walked away, an unspoken English sounded behind Roosevelt. When he looked back, he saw a middle-aged man in a Tang costume standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile on his face, his expression a little respectful.
Franklin remembered that he looked a little familiar - "Mr. Szeto, I didn't expect to see you here."
"Yes. I didn't think about it. Situ Meiden said happily, just now he was afraid that the other party would not recognize him
Who would have thought that the hairy boy who worked as a legal consultant at Anliangtang in New York would become a shining star in American politics ten years later
Now the status of the two sides is naturally different, which can't help but make Lao Situ sigh.
Today's guests are either rich or expensive, but not just anyone can come in, and Situ Meiden's mood has also experienced some twists and turns: the first surprise, the second joy, Fang Rong, and the later sadness.
Just now he stood next to him for a long time, and no one came to take care of him, he was indeed a little different in a Tang suit, and the eyes of others were also a little surprised.
Although the twists and turns of Situ Meiden still maintained his demeanor, he did not feel emotion in his heart.
"Now that the heroine hasn't come out yet, let's go sit over there" Franklin? Roosevelt said gently, and his tone did not have the arrogance of being in a high position.
For Stuart Mailin, who gave himself his first job after college, Franklin? Although Roosevelt was not grateful, he finally had two old feelings, and the other party was still a guest invited by Situ Nan. From this point of view, it also shows that the relationship between the other party and Situ Nan is close.
"Good"
Although he knew that this was a polite sentence, even the superficial kung fu made Situ Meiden feel like a spring breeze.
In fact, the reason why Situ Nan invited Situ Meiden was not deliberate, but just thought of building a school to recruit international students from Chinese mainland, and on a whim remembered Situ Meiden, who had a "shallow friendship".
There are two flowers, one on each branch. Gaze back to our protagonist Situ Nan.
"Why haven't you come down yet?" Situ Nan leaned on the spacious and luxurious staircase of the hotel, feeling a little anxious
Due to someone's stubborn insistence, the middle staircase of the hotel lobby became the most elaborate place for the engagement.
The white and shiny floor, the precious oak staircase, the wall clock embedded in the wall, the elaborate carved patterns, and the crystal lamp hanging from his head are all familiar, making Situ Nan have a kind of romantic expectation.
Just like when Situ Nan followed Jacket and Jasmine to attend the first-class banquet of the Titanic, Rose walked down the stairs, and today, Laura, who was dressed in a clean white dress, appeared on the railing on the second floor, looking at the heroic man on the middle platform of the stairs below.
Well, although the expression is impatient, it is so handsome and chic in Laura's eyes.
The beautiful figure is outlined by the tight-fitting dress, dragging the long skirt corners, like a mermaid.
The blonde hair was coiled high, showing off a slender neck, and the delicate collarbones, like a proud swan.
Dignified and noble, beautiful and generous, God gave all his favor to this woman
The autumn waves were rippling, and every step was on Situ Nan's heart, and he was stunned
With a "hey", Laura sighed lightly, revealing her white and shiny teeth, and Situ Nan came back to his senses. Although the two are already very "familiar", their moods are a little different today, and the shock that Laura gave Situ Nan just now is still in his mind for a while......
"Honey, you're so beautiful today. Oh, my goddess gave me the world, and I can't change a smile from you. Situ Nan praised
He grabbed Laura's hand and kissed the white lace glove. Looking at each other affectionately, the two smiled tacitly and walked down the stairs side by side, holding hands.
At this time, the audience below responded with warm applause. It's really a pair of beautiful people, and many people thought to themselves.
"It looks good, why am I a little envious?" Robles muttered.
"Envy? You're going to have such a day, too" A girl in the same white dress next to her smiled, with big watery eyes and curved eyebrows, and a little playful in her smile.
"Still not keeping up?" Seeing that Robles was still inking, the girl urged.
Robles then remembered his role, the best man, and when he thought of this, he immediately took the girl's hand and followed Stuart Nan and Laura to the arranged auditorium.
This qiē looks so romantic and warm, Situ Nan doesn't know that there is a pair of beautiful eyes staring at him in the corner not far away.
The scene at the staircase in the distance was so familiar that it had appeared in her dreams countless times, and there was once a man who gave her unforgettable love.
She thought she could bury it well, but when the dream "reappeared", she still couldn't let go, and she had an urge to escape.
With a snap, a plate fell to the ground, and one of the hotel's waiters hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
"Sorry" Before he could react, a gust of incense wafted by, splashing a few teardrops, and the beautiful woman suddenly rushed out of the door.
"Who was that just now?" Before the waiter of the hotel could recover from the fragrance, a tall man walked up to him and asked, his hair combed in the middle, his eyes still in the direction of the door, as if he was remembering something.
"Rose, is that you?". He muttered.
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't know. The waiter replied. Picking up the plate from the floor, he looked up to see a green piece of paper stuffed into his pocket.
"Ah, I remember, it was an invited guest. There should be a registration form at the front desk. The waiter rolled his eyes and said quickly.
"Oh? Help me get the list, this one is yours. The tall man said.
The waiter wanted to refuse, but the weight of his pocket was much heavier.
"Okay," he said, gritting his teeth.
This was just a small episode, which did not cause too many waves, and the wedding was still carried out according to the scheduled script.
Since it is an engagement, it is not as strict as marriage. The hotel temporarily arranged the auditorium, so that Situ Nan and his family did not have to rush to the church that was far away. A prominent pastor of the Northern Baptist Convention was invited to the hotel to officiate the engagement.
Before that, Situ Nan, a religiously free person, was baptized, well, he could be regarded as a lost little lamb who received the Lord's bright grace.
In this regard, Situ Nan doesn't care, he just follows the customs, and even if he joins the church, he is not the kind of pious people.
It's not like ten years later, in order to marry a rich and powerful royal sister, a certain old man not only divorced his wife, but also studied the doctrine of Christ seriously.
Situ Nan looked at the white-bearded pastor on the stage, his mouth kept mourning, he was really not very interested, and his eyes rolled and secretly looked at Laura beside him.
This woman is very beautiful, today Situ Nan feels that he can't see enough of it?
How can words be more direct than actions? Didn't you see that Situ Nan's eyes were full of tenderness?
Situ Nan's love finally caused Laura's response, she secretly glanced at Situ Nan, and immediately dodged away, listening intently to the priest's speech, and praying silently.
The eyebrows of the two newcomers just now did not escape the priest's eyes, and although he had a solemn expression on his face, the old fellow was still very sensible, and as the frequency of the opening and closing of his mouth increased, the blessing of the Lord was soon completed.
The whirring ceremony is finally over
Situ Nan put the ring that had been prepared on Laura's finger, and when she was not paying attention, he suddenly picked up the delicate face and gnawed it.
"Ahh
Laura was a little annoyed with Situ Nan's "monkey urgency", and secretly pinched Situ Nan's waist, five, four, three, two, and soon she also let go of her shyness and responded to Situ Nan warmly.
There was a round of applause.
"One more, one more," Robles coaxed. He laughed exaggeratedly. This kid has just had a rare serious look as the best man, but he has seen Situ Nan's "ugliness" just now, and now he is finally relieved, why not be presumptuous?
"Why don't we get a preview as well? Unknown Miss Bridesmaids? Robles suddenly said to the girl next to him.
"Okay, my fist would love to taste the taste of your mouth, do you want to try it?". The girl gave Robles a blank look, turned around and gave him the back of the head.
