Chapter 156 The Fifth Miraculous Landmark
"Banquet in the snow, can't you? The chairman of Anmin Real Estate is a bigwig in the industry and I heard that the woman's family status is not simple. You let these bigwigs have a feast in the snow?"
Some netizens couldn't help following this comment after seeing it.
"I also think it should be impossible!"
"It's true. It is said that at that time, Mingsha Labor Service and Xiang's family had decided to have a banquet in the small square in front of Tengwang Pavilion. It could be regarded as a disguised form of hosting a Tengwang Pavilion poetry banquet, but they encountered such weather."
Seeing that the netizens didn't believe it, the insider explained again.
"Then it won't be placed in the restaurant of Qixia Town or Wudi City? Must it be in the open air?"
Some netizens continued to question.
"Oh, why don't you believe it? It is said that when the relatives and friends of the two families heard that they were going to use the Wangong sedan chair to get married, those who didn't plan to come also made time for it.
There are more guests than before, can the restaurants in Qixia Town and Wudi City hold it? After all, wedding guests are better off sitting together, aren't they? What does the east family and the west family look like? "
"How can this be done?"
Until this time, some netizens finally began to believe in the snow feast.
"Wait, I said, what does it have to do with you if you have an open-air feast or not? You are Xiang's guests, and you are worried that you won't be able to hold your chopsticks in the snow?"
"I just feel that the last banquet part is a bit imperfect."
"How can there be such a perfect thing in the world, let's just wait and see the fun. I guess the web anchor will definitely broadcast the whole wedding live."
"That's right. Let's just watch the excitement."
Time passed quickly, days passed by in a flash,
As the Internet continued to ferment, the real estate boss Xiang Anmin gave his son a wife and even posted hot words on the website. In addition, the original tourists in the homestay area and nearby people came to watch the excitement, so that it was more than 7 o'clock in the morning on the wedding day. At that time, the gate of No. 256 Hongshagang Village was already overcrowded.
Various anchors and many media reporters also set up their equipment early in order to take pictures of this highly-watched wedding.
The weather forecast is honest,
At 7:50 in the morning, snowflakes were already falling in the sky, but at this time, not many people paid attention to the weather, but they were so shocked by the scene in front of them that they had no time to think about other things. Keep patting, patting, patting.
I saw that the ancient buildings on both sides of the five-kilometer green brick avenue have been stretched with red silk flower belts. Looking around, it really feels like everything is red.
This arrangement alone far surpasses the flower basket aisle in Western-style weddings.
Some tourists even lamented,
"I've lived half my life, and this is really the first time I've seen this kind of scene."
That's not counting,
The first B&B at the entrance of the city gate is extraordinarily decorated, and the ground is paved with a red carpet, not to mention even the outer fence has been wrapped with red cloth.
This also made both the tourists at the scene and some viewers in the live broadcast room more and more looking forward to the upcoming wedding ceremony.
now,
Unlike the tourists who were vying to take pictures, a woman who had just seen the surrounding environment and was very expensively dressed glanced at the man beside her.
"Is this where our Sissy gets on the sedan chair?"
"Well, the person in charge of Mingsha Labor Service said that this decorated homestay is Sissy's boudoir, and then Sissy gets on the sedan chair from here and walks along the blue brick avenue, and finally arrives at the place where the worship ceremony and guest banquet are held."
The man nodded.
"Is it the square in front of Tengwang Pavilion? It would be great if there is no snow in this weather."
The woman glanced at the slowly falling snowflakes in the sky.
Although the combination of blue bricks, red silk, and snowflakes made the whole blue brick avenue very beautiful, but she couldn't be happy no matter what.
without it,
Just because she is the mother of the bride, when Xiangjia proposed to change the place temporarily, they actually refused but they couldn't hold back the child. Fortunately, when they came to Mingsha, they were very satisfied with the dress of Qingzhuan Avenue, otherwise it would be matched with this snow. Naive will regret it to death.
"It should be. Didn't Lao Xiang say it before? All guests should be prepared to have a feast in the snow."
The man frowned slightly.
The man is the father of the bride, no matter how beautiful the dress in front of him is, he must be in a bad mood today.
"By the way, shall we go up to accompany Sissy now?"
After a pause, the woman asked again.
"The higher-ups have specially arranged a room for us. When it's over, the two of us will follow behind as sedan chairs."
The man took out his mobile phone and clicked on an electronic file, looked at it and said.
"Shall we go there too?"
"Well, although Mingsha Laowu is talking about an ancient wedding, some customs have been changed to be more in line with modern etiquette. Parents of both parties are also worshiped."
The man said again.
"oh"
Just when the woman's mother was about to say something more, a man dressed as a housekeeper came to the two of them,
"Excuse me, are you the woman's parents?"
the man asked.
"We are, you are."
"Hi, I'm a staff member of Mingsha Labor Service. My name is He Long. This time I'm in charge of all the procedures for our woman. According to the procedure, the man's wedding team will start from the place where the banquet ceremony is held at nine o'clock in the morning and come to our side. It should be 10:10! The time for the bride to get on the sedan chair is 10:28, and it is 10:33 for your elder brother and other ladies and guests to get on the sedan chair. Do you think there is any problem?"
After the man introduced himself, he spoke.
"This is no problem, you can arrange it according to your needs, it's troublesome!"
Seeing that He Long's introduction was very professional, the man nodded heavily.
"Okay, one more thing is that our Mingsha Labor Service has packed the dowry that you and your wife sent in advance, and it will be delivered to the backyard of the hotel in ten minutes. Please check with your wife to see if there is any omission or loss."
He Long said again.
"no problem."
This is the case on the woman's side,
On the man's side, looking at the scene in front of them, Xiang's father and son no longer knew what to say.
I saw a square high-rise platform in front of me, and above the platform was a five-story wooden building with pointed roofs and layers of cornices, looking in all directions, stretching out in the air, all covered with yellow glazed tiles, majestic and steady,
The whole is about fifty or sixty meters high.
In addition, the outer eaves columns on the ground floor of the wooden building have a diameter of 30 to 40 meters. There are four-sided corridors on the second, third, and fourth floors, and there is a lookout loft on the fifth floor. It looks like the pattern of five outside and nine inside. The row of eaves on each floor is shaped like the ancient auspicious animal Suzaku in the Dragon Kingdom, spreading its wings to fly, which makes the whole building majestic yet delicate, with a great variety of charm and beauty.
That's not counting,
At this time, the four corners of the wooden building have been covered with red silk and brocade, and the stone steps in front of the main entrance of the wooden building have also been paved with red carpets, extending all the way to the gate of the wooden building. A dreamy feeling.
"Mr. Xiang?"
It wasn't until Luo Peng next to him repeatedly reminded Xiang Min'an and Xiang Fei that they gradually recovered.
"Mr. Luo. This. This should not be the Tengwang Pavilion!"
Xiang Min'an hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking.
Although he has never been to Mingsha, the communication on the phone is very clear. The venue for the wedding ceremony and banquet is in the small square of Tengwang Pavilion. If this wooden building is really Tengwang Pavilion, the front of the wooden building must have been covered with red carpets. ,
But now the red carpet has been extended to the inside of the gate of the wooden building. Obviously, the place where the ceremony and banquet are held is not outside.
"Um!"
Looking up at the magnificent wooden building in front of him, Luo Peng nodded.
"Isn't it Tengwang Pavilion? Then this magnificent wooden building is"
Xiang Anmin and Xiang Fei were shocked again.
Before that, they had only heard of Tengwang Pavilion and Tingchao Pavilion on the side of Mingsha Cultural Tourism. Besides, there was no third wooden building landmark, and it was certain that this wooden building was not Tingchao Pavilion.
"It was newly built by our Mingsha Cultural Tourism. Mr. Xiang has chosen our Mingsha labor service. Although the weather is unpredictable, how can we really let Mr. Xiang's distinguished guests sit in the snow for a feast!
There are nine floors in this building, and each floor is a place for banquets and guests, which is enough to accommodate the guests of Xiangzong's family.
not only,
We also specially reserved a ancient pavilion-style wedding room on the first floor for the groom and his wife to rest and change clothes. "
Luo Peng took a deep breath,
When he mentioned this wooden building, he also had a lot of admiration in his eyes.
The matter began a week ago when he and Zhu Qiang couldn't handle this matter and started calling Xu Hao.
When Xu Hao came to the office of Mingsha Cultural Brigade and confirmed that there was really no way to coordinate the banquet guests, he immediately made a decision that directly scared Luo Peng and Zhu Qiang.
Xu Hao said that if there was really no other way, he would find a way to gather all the manpower of the entire Mingsha Cultural Brigade within a week and build a wooden building for banquets and guests.
then,
More than an hour later, the address of Mulou was determined to be at the sandy depression of a dead and dry oasis behind the two sand ridges on the south side of Qingzhuan Avenue, 2.5 kilometers away.
The reason for choosing this place is that there is Tengwang Pavilion in the north and northeast, Tingchao Pavilion in the southwest, and Langya Pavilion in the northwest, which just echoes these three places to form a square.
Moreover, as long as this dried-up sand depression oasis is well managed, the bottom of the sand depression is likely to have water again. The most important thing is that it is not far from the south side of Qingzhuan Avenue, and the road is also well repaired.
two hours later,
Zhu Qiang and Luo Peng began to mobilize all available machinery and labor, while Xu Hao began to draw blueprints.
The weather is cold and the construction time is short,
This building specially used for entertaining guests can only choose pure wood structure.
And in order to save time, the main structure of this wooden building basically refers to the Yellow Crane Tower, one of the famous buildings, but some details have been modified.
It's not that Xu Hao doesn't know the structure of the Yellow Crane Tower, but completely copying the Yellow Crane Tower will arouse some people's discussion, just like Tengwang Pavilion.
then,
On the first night, the foundation was excavated, the drawings were completed, and most of the parts of the attic were numbered and sent to the carpentry department of the village head of Hongshagang Village to start processing.
On the second day, various fireproof and anti-corrosion treatments were carried out on the wooden beam base columns and all other structural components used.
Because it was not a complete restoration of the ancient Yellow Crane Tower, Xu Hao used modern processing methods. At night, the foundation pillars and beams had been transported to Sha'ao.
At the same time, the construction of Qingzhuan Road connecting Sha'ao and Qingzhuan Avenue began to be laid, and the heating-related pipes and equipment for the wooden building were also transported to Sha'ao at the same time.
On the third day, the foundation was dug, and the underground part of the wooden building officially started.
On the fourth day, nearly 300 carpenters showed up on the construction site and began to erect beams under the guidance of Xu Hao.
On the fifth day, more than 300 carpenters worked for another whole day, and at night they began to install glazed tiles, fire-fighting equipment and so on.
On the sixth day, the carpenters left. The cleaners entered. At the same time, other people responsible for the wedding decoration began to dress up the whole wooden building.
