Suddenly, Yang Jinglin borrowed a 1915 Ford Model T from nowhere and took Fei Jingting to a courtyard in the old city to exchange tokens.
For this step, the south is served with hairpins, cakes and fruits, and the woman writes with pen and ink and inkstone. Of course, if she is from a famous family, she will have to pay tribute to the goose.
If there is no goose, a goose or a rooster will be used instead, and the woman will use a goose or a chicken to match it. At this time, discussions about the bride price and the wedding date begin. Of course, for Fei Jingting, this step is just a formality.
He is a time traveler and a practitioner, so he does not need to adhere to such secular rules so closely. The reason why he follows the steps at this time is mostly to give an explanation to Guan Xiyi and Ni Qiufeng.
As for Fu Yunzhao, this girl has no worldly etiquette in mind, and maybe she doesn't even want to hold a wedding banquet.
After this formality, two days later there will be a personal wedding. It is also a formality. The so-called personal wedding is not a wedding, but a wedding ceremony at the woman's home.
After the bride price, the wedding date was finally decided.
At this time, the wedding invitations can be sent out. Most of the wedding invitations have to be sent by Yang Jinglin's housekeeper, and only a few of the wedding invitations need to be sent by Fei Jingting himself.
The first one is Yang Jinglin. Without Yang Jinglin's help, the inexperienced Fei Jingting will definitely be in a mess.
On the afternoon of the day of the welcome, Fei Jingting sent the wedding invitation to Yang Jinglin's house. Director Yang was very happy and talked to Fei Jingting for a long time. Unfortunately, the time was wrong. Fei Jingting was busy getting married at this time.
Yang Jinglin didn't ask for his opinion on the situation.
Finally, he said that Fei Jingting was too intrusive, so he could just ask the butler to bring the wedding invitations back, and there was no need for Fei Jingting to deliver them himself.
Fei Jingting said a few words of thanks and then went to the second house.
At Mr. Yan's house, Mr. Yan was surprised to hear that Fei Jingting was about to get married.
"So fast? Jingting moves so fast."
Fei Jingting joked: "There's no rush, I'm already twenty-seven."
Mr. Yan laughed and said: "You must have a woman to control you, otherwise you, Sun Wukong, may cause a lot of trouble. Tell me, you, a good university teacher, shouldn't you act inappropriately?"
Only in this matter did Fei Jingting feel sorry for Mr. Yan, so he immediately apologized and said: "I really can't help Mr. Yan's love, but that's not my intention."
A happy event is imminent, so Mr. Yan can't say much: "It's okay, young people have to go out and have a try. But let's forget about this novel. It's something to pass the time. Jingting must not make mistakes."
Fei Jingting couldn't explain too much to Mr. Yan, and he looked like he was happy to be taught, so Mr. Yan couldn't find any faults.
After coming out of Mr. Yan's place, Fei Jingting went to Mr. Liang's house first. In terms of relationship, Fei Jingting and Mr. Liang were not that close, but they couldn't stand up to Mr. Liang's high status in modern history, so the wedding invitation had to be delivered to his door.
Mr. Liang happened to be at home, and he welcomed Fei Jingting in for a chat. When he saw Fei Jingting handing over the wedding invitation, Mr. Liang first congratulated a few words, and then asked: "The woman... is she still that woman?"
Fei Jingting nodded: "Yes."
Mr. Liang was quite sorry: "Jing Ting is a very affectionate person."
Fei Jingting was secretly happy, thinking that Mr. Liang was holding a grudge. When Fu Yunzhao mistakenly thought Mr. Liang was the housekeeper he was applying for, Mr. Liang turned around and said that Fu Yunzhao was not suitable to be a wife.
In fact, Mr. Liang didn't have any bad intentions, he just felt that Fu Yunzhao was too lively to be a big woman. Fei Jingting was gentle and had extraordinary insights. Mr. Liang directly regarded Fei Jingting as a rising star among his peers, and said Fu Yunzhao's petty remarks.
Maintain the meaning of Fei Jingting.
But the deal was already done, and Mr. Liang couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only be happy for Fei Jingting. He asked some miscellaneous matters, and even sent his son to help in his spare time.
Fei Jingting sat for a while, and when Mr. Liang urged Fei Jingting to write a book again, he stood up and left. The matter of writing a book was not urgent, and he would discuss it with Fan Wenlan after the marriage.
In the evening, Fei Jingting went to the eldest son's house.
The eldest son is notorious. Now he lives in Jinmen. Although he has the title of Kailuan Mining Bureau, he does nothing serious all day long.
No matter what the eldest son is, at least to Fei Jingting, this man is his benefactor. If the eldest son had not been generous and gave Fei Jingting a jade slip, Fei Jingting would not know how long he would have stayed in the realm of foundation building.
Woolen cloth.
The eldest son became a little disheartened after the incident involving his third concubine. He no longer had any thoughts about keeping concubines, and he focused entirely on elegant matters such as opera, calligraphy and painting.
When Fei Jingting came, the eldest son had just written a calligraphy. When he saw that it was Fei Jingting, he immediately called out: "Jingting, come quickly, let's take a look at the calligraphy."
Fei Jingting smiled and said: "This is because I am blind. My handwriting is worse than that of a young child. How can I have the ability to appreciate it?"
The eldest son shook his head: "You'd better practice your calligraphy, you really can't get it right." After a pause, he added: "I haven't seen you for two months, and I heard that you have gone out? Why did you want to come to my door today?
?”
Fei Jingting didn't say anything and handed over the wedding invitation with a smile.
"Wedding invitation? Jing Ting is getting married? Haha, what a great thing." The eldest son smiled and said, "Caiyun also said earlier that Jing Ting has reached the age to get married, and he wants to match you up with... well. Forget it, I don't want to.
Jing Ting is getting married now. Well, I will definitely be there then."
After saying some polite words, Fei Jingting left in a hurry. This time there was only one family left - the Bian family.
I wanted to send the wedding invitations the next day, and went out to check the time, but it was only after six o'clock. Fei Jingting thought it would be better to choose a different date, so he might as well send them all at once.
So we took a rickshaw and went to the Bian family's bungalow.
The servant had seen Fei Jingting several times and knew he was an honored guest, so he immediately led Fei Jingting into the bungalow. Unfortunately today, Mr. Bian went out to socialize, and only Mrs. Bian was left at home.
"Jingting is here?" Mrs. Bian was very happy and hurriedly asked Fei Jingting to sit down and asked the servants to serve tea.
"Hey, I was still talking about it a few days ago, saying that there was no news about Jingting since he was out for more than 20 days, and he didn't know when he would come back."
"Mr. Bian misses me so much. I just came back a few days ago."
"It's good to come back. It's not as chaotic as Jinmen outside. I heard that there was a severe drought in Qilu. Not even a single snowflake fell all winter, and there were no green seedlings in the fields. Many people from Qilu came north to Jinmen to make a living.
.”
"It's really messy outside."
In the former Qing Dynasty, it was important that imperial power should not be extended to the countryside. Now in the Republic of China, the soup has been changed but the medicine has not been changed. The scope of Beiyang's jurisdiction is only at the county level. The vast countryside is managed by landlords, gentry and even bandits.
In the land outside the pass, no matter where you leave the city, bandits appear all over the place. Even if you take a train, you may be robbed. People who are usually kind in the village can turn into demons immediately when they enter the mountains. This is still the case under Zhang Dashuai's unification
Now that we have moved to the Northeast, it is no longer possible to describe it as a warlord separatist regime in Guanzhong, selling officials and conferring titles. It is simply that the people are living in dire straits.
After chatting with Mrs. Bian for a few words, Fei Jingting found an opportunity to send the wedding invitation.
"This is?"
"Wedding invitation."
Mrs. Bian's face immediately turned cold. She opened the wedding invitation, took a look at it, and then covered her chest. Poor Mrs. Bian had previously thought of getting through the relationship with the provost Ling Bing and asked him to help match up her daughter Bian Wenjie and Fei Jingting.
.
First, I didn't expect that Fei Jingting would resign, and then now, when we meet again, Fei Jingting is getting married!
Mrs. Bian couldn't take a breath, and suddenly she felt a little dizzy.
"Oh, I understand. Teacher Fei, I have a headache, so I won't keep you longer."
"Okay, then please take care of yourself, Mrs. Bian."
Fei Jingting stood up to say goodbye. It took a long time for Mrs. Bian to calm down. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then immediately threw the good tea cup to the ground.
There was a commotion, and the surrounding servants were too frightened to say anything. Naturally, no one dared to step forward to deal with it.
After a while, there was a sound at the door, and Mr. Bian and Bian Wenjie came back. The father and daughter had just attended a party, and upon entering the house, they immediately noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"What's going on?" Mr. Bian asked.
Mrs. Bian snorted coldly and said nothing.
Mr. Bian winked at Bian Wenjie, who immediately went over and said coquettishly: "Mom, who made you angry again? Just tell him, and my daughter will teach him a lesson for you!"
"You're still teaching me a lesson...what do you know? Well, see for yourself!"
The wedding invitation was thrown in front of Bian Wenjie. She picked it up and looked at it twice. Her eyes suddenly turned red, she covered her face and ran upstairs.
Mr. Bian went over and took a look, and was suddenly surprised: "Fei Jingting is getting married?"
Mrs. Bian was filled with evil anger and had nowhere to vent, and immediately scolded: "We have to socialize and socialize every day. Now it's better. Fei Jingting is getting married. What do you want Wen Jie to do?"
Mr. Bian said sarcastically: "You can't blame me... OK, OK, it's my fault. But isn't it the reason why I go to socialize to earn money for my family? Besides, Fei Jingting is too outstanding and very lucky, so I
It doesn’t look like he’s a good match. I’ll turn around and ask around, and I’ll definitely find Wen Jie a satisfactory husband.”
Mrs. Bian hummed and said nothing more. Now that the matter has come to this, what else can be done? You can't stop Fei Jingting from getting married, right?
Some people are sad, and naturally some people are happy.
But in the courtyard, Li Zhizhang had just returned from get off work pushing his bicycle that evening. A few months after he was promoted to inspector, his salary was half salary, but he could not support the large gray income. After a few months, he had saved some money, but he was still far away from buying a house. No time in sight.
Previously, Li Zhizhang wanted to rent somewhere else, but his wife stopped him, saying that he would rather live in this large courtyard for a year than buy his own house earlier.
After making a show of greeting the neighbors in the courtyard, as soon as Li Zhizhang entered the house, someone who looked like a servant came to the door.
"Li Zhizhang, Inspector Li, are you at home?"
Li Zhizhang yawned and pushed open the door. He looked at the boy and said, "I am. Do you have anything to do with me?"
The boy handed over the wedding invitation, told Li Zhizhang to attend on time, and then ran to the next place.
Li Zhizhang unfolded the wedding invitation and read it for a long time before he realized that it was his good brother Fei Jingting who was getting married.
This guy immediately said loudly: "Hey, my brother is getting married!"
He shouted loudly and could be heard in the front and back yards.
