Chapter 362 Having the Courage to Stand up Is Another Matter

It was the first time for Xu Chuan to be a best man.

However, there were not so many requirements and work in the countryside. Generally speaking, he would follow the convoy to pick up the bride, help the groom solve some obstacles set by the bridesmaids, and block the wine at the wedding.

After getting up early and having breakfast, Xu Chuan rushed to Xu Hou's house.

At this time, Xu Hou was already dressed in a suit and tie and busy with various things.

Xu Chuan went up to help a little. Time passed little by little, and other friends in the village also rushed over.

Following the convoy, the group went to the county hotel to pick up the bride.

Although the bride was also from Baling, Baling was very big, so after discussion, the bride and her relatives and friends went to a large hotel in the nearby county one day in advance to stay overnight and wait for the wedding.

In the hotel, Xu Chuan and the other two best men solved the problems set by the three bridesmaids, broke open the door, and rushed in.

The bride wore a white wedding dress, looked beautiful and delicate, and looked at the group of people who broke in with a happy smile on her face.

Playing games, opening challenges, after finding the bride's shoes from another bridesmaid's thigh, Xu Hou got on the wedding car with his own world, and the group returned to Xujia Village from another road.

In his hometown, there is a saying when picking up the bride, not taking the same road when going and coming back. This is called not going back, which means that the newlyweds will have a happy and happy life in the future.

After returning to Xujia Village, the matter of picking up the bride came to an end for the time being, and then it was time to receive guests and other things.

Xu Chuan wanted to go up to help, but Xu Hou's parents and relatives were enough, so he simply found a corner in the living room on the second floor to sit down and rest for a while.

Compared with the lively first floor, the second floor received the bride's family and friends, and the number of people was smaller.

Xu Chuan sat in the corner, cracking melon seeds and chatting with another best man.

This was a classmate Xu Hou met in college. He came here from another place today, but he didn't seem to recognize Xu Chuan's identity, just thinking he was Xu Hou's childhood friend from the same village.

Although the name Xu Chuan is very famous in China, there is more than one person with this name in the country. Who would have thought that he would meet such a big man in a mountain village like Xujia Village?

Just then, the door of the room where the bride and bridesmaids were staying opened, and two bridesmaids changed out of their bridesmaid dresses and walked out.

"Excuse me, are you Academician Xu Chuan?"

A girl with long black hair, a beige long coat and light gray wide-leg pants, who looked quite fresh and elegant, walked up to Xu Chuan and asked softly.

Hearing the voice, Xu Chuan turned his head, smiled and nodded, and replied: "It's me."

Confirming the answer, another bridesmaid hugged her friend's arm and exclaimed with joy: "Qingqing, I said I didn't recognize him wrongly! It's really Chuan Shen! Today we see the real person!"

Then, she threw away her friend's arm, came closer, and asked excitedly: "Chuan Shen, can I add you as a friend on WeChat?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Sure."

After adding each other as friends, another bridesmaid named Qingqing came up, with some surprise and excitement, and said: "Incredible, I didn't expect to meet you here today."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "This is my hometown. Xu Hou is my childhood friend. I just came back for the New Year to catch up with his wedding, and was pulled here to be the best man."

Aside, another best man was a little confused at the moment. He really didn't recognize that the person who ran all the way to pick up the bride and played games was the famous domestic academician Xu.

Thinking of how much he had just boasted in front of this person, his face turned red.

Let him crawl into a crack in the ground!

You can dig out a three-bedroom apartment with your toes.

After recognizing Xu Chuan's identity, the atmosphere became much colder after several people added each other's prestige. It was not as relaxed as when they were joking and playing together when they were welcoming the bride.

Even the brother who had been bragging around was embarrassed and didn't dare to brag anymore.

After all, the difference in status between each other was so great that the people who were originally quite relaxed were now a little restrained.

However, the curious eyes from the bridesmaids never stopped.

Xu Chuan shook his head slightly and didn't care too much.

In the process of growing up, people always lose a lot of things.

He was no exception.

Time passed little by little, and soon, the auspicious time arrived.

The wedding process began. Although the wedding was held in Xujia Village, there were still professional wedding hosts and etiquette personnel, and even the wedding boy who delivered flowers and rings was arranged.

After Xu Hou and the bride walked onto the stage, the staff of the professional wedding host team invited from outside came over from the side of the festive red shed and found Xu Chuan.

"Well, Academician Xu, today is the wedding of your childhood friend Mr. Xu Hou. Would you like to go up and say a few words on behalf of your childhood friend and the groomsmen?"

Compared with the bridesmaids and others who were late to realize it, the professional wedding host team knew Xu Chuan's identity.

Maybe Xu Hou had told them that he was afraid that the wedding host team would rashly do something weird or invite the groomsmen to play some games that were not very good but livened up the atmosphere.

After all, this kind of thing is quite common in rural weddings, such as bridesmaids and groomsmen holding balloons, biting apples together, passing cards, etc.

These games are nothing in a rural wedding, but Xu Chuan's identity is quite special, and it is hard to imagine such a top player participating in such a game.

Hearing the invitation from the staff, Xu Chuan was slightly stunned: "I'm not prepared. Isn't it a bit too hasty to go up?"

The staff smiled and said: "Just say a few words, just send a blessing. Of course, if you are really not prepared, we can also cancel this link."

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said: "Then go up and say a few words."

As a childhood friend and best man, he should support him at least. It's just that this scene is supported, so don't steal the limelight when the time comes.

After all, he is not the protagonist today.

Not far away, on the wedding stage, the host continued to host the wedding after receiving a positive response.

"Next, please invite our groom's childhood friend, world-renowned scholar, and national academician Professor Xu Chuan to represent the groom's best friends and best men to send the most sincere blessings to today's newlyweds! Everyone, please welcome with the warmest applause!"

Applause rang out at the wedding scene.

For the guests who came to the wedding today, most of them were relatives and friends of Xujia Village or Xu Hou's family. They all knew or heard that Xujia Village had a great professor and scientist.

After hearing the name from the host, these people looked around the stage with excitement, searching for the legendary great scientist with their eyes.

And the other part who didn't know much about this was stunned when they heard the host's words.

Even in rural areas, many people have heard of the name Xu Chuan. Maybe they don't know those scientific problems, but the Nobel Prize, an international award that almost everyone knows, is basically known to everyone present.

And the name Xu Chuan has appeared repeatedly on the news broadcast and TV.

So even if these people have never seen or known him, they have heard of this name. Compared with the familiar people in front, they searched the entire wedding scene with more expectant eyes.

After all, it is also an honor for them to meet people of this level.

Hearing the host's invitation, Xu Chuan stood up from the best man group and walked onto the stage, standing next to his childhood friend Xu Hou, looking at the many guests in the audience.

As a scholar who has hosted countless lectures and even large international conferences, it is impossible for me to be stage frightened in such an occasion.

Taking the microphone from the host calmly, Xu Chuan glanced at his childhood friend who was full of expectation, and then at the bride who was full of peach blossoms, and slowly said:

"The two families are getting married, and the contract is signed in one hall. The good marriage is forever, and the match is the same. Look at the red plum blossoms blooming today, which is suitable for the family. I predict that in the future, the descendants will continue to grow, and you will be prosperous. I hereby write this promise of white hair on the red paper, so that the red leaves will be recorded in the genealogy of mandarin ducks."

"I am happy that the wedding ceremony is completed today, the red rope is tied, and it is a perfect match. I predict that in the future, we will be together forever, with the fragrance of osmanthus and orchids."

"From now on, we will conclude a good marriage, become a good couple, tie the red rope early, and live together forever. The flowers are in full bloom, and I am happy to swim in the sea until the rocks are rotten. I point to the mandarin ducks and make the first alliance. I hereby sign this contract!"

"The same ceremony is judged, the two families are united to make a good marriage, the poems are suitable for the family, and the peace and goodness of a hundred years are here!"

For Xu Chuan, this is not the first time he has spoken on stage.

However, it was the first time for him to stand at someone else's wedding and send his blessing as a best man and childhood friend.

He couldn't think of any perfect blessing words on impulse.

After all, he had been a single dog in his two lives, and he really didn't know how to say those dog food words.

But just now, off the stage, he suddenly thought of some Republic of China wedding speeches he had seen before, and read them out on the stage.

Using the romance of the last century to send blessings to today's newlyweds is probably the most beautiful thing.

Off the stage, the three bridesmaids in the bridesmaid group stared at the figure on the stage.

The first bridesmaid who came up to Xu Chuan for prestige stretched out her hand to poke her bestie next to her and whispered: "Qingqing, I heard that Academician Xu doesn't have a girlfriend yet, do you want to try to chase him?"

Su Muqing stared at the stage without saying anything. After a while, she shook her head silently and said: "Impossible, the gap is too big."

Honestly speaking, which girl would not like such an excellent boy?

But how could a person of his level lack excellent girls around him? Liking is one thing, and having the courage to stand up and pursue is another.

At least, she doesn't have the courage.
