Chapter 393: Stealing one's ears and stealing bells and the Qixi Festival
Ever since he saw Wu Jizong, the possible father-in-law, in front of Mrs. Wu, Gao Jingfei knew that if he really wanted to have an in-depth relationship with his senior sister, he must deal with this "mother-in-law" and win her favor.
In this way, life will be much easier in the future. There is a "father-in-law" who is afraid of his wife, and he is not afraid of what the father-in-law will do if he is jealous of his son-in-law.
Of course, if Wu Jizong could hear Gao Jingfei's inner voice, he would definitely retort:
"Am I afraid of my wife? I obviously respect my wife! You unmarried young people don't understand this at all..."
In short, under Mrs. Wu's deliberate arrangement, Gao Jingfei spent most of the next few days with Senior Sister Ziyi. There was basically no one else to disturb him. Only Wu Jixing occasionally came over to discuss spiritual issues with him, but he was far away.
Instead of occupying most of his day like before, it was only for an hour or two at most. It was obvious that he had received instructions from his sister-in-law and deliberately created time for the two young people to be alone.
It is obvious that his daughter is attracted to Gao Jingfei. Even if Wu Jizong is still a little reluctant, he will not do anything stupid like beating a mandarin duck, and his wife will not agree either!
Therefore, the head of the Wu family has been secretly sulking these past few days, asking him but he still won't answer. Wu Zhao Shuyuan understood clearly, but it was rare to see her middle-aged husband still be so childish, so she just watched it for fun and did not go.
Comfort. This inevitably made Wu Jizong feel even more depressed.
After passing the message domestically through Gao Jingkun, and then Gao Jingfei conveying the contents of the negotiations with Wu Zhixuan in the past few days, the two parties have initially determined the basic framework of the transaction and come up with a basic transaction plan that is generally acceptable to both parties.
The remaining details must be left to professionals to discuss.
In fact, they spend no more than an hour working every day these days. After all, there are only a few conditions. If they don't argue face to face, it will probably be settled in less than an hour.
The reason why the two of them spent several days was because Gao Jingfei was needed to be the intermediary messenger every time. When encountering some disagreements, the two sides would go back and forth for the whole day. In addition, Xia Guo wanted to slow down the pace.
After the basic trading plan was finalized today, even if the two representatives and the commissioner had no work matters, they still couldn't help but get together. After several days of communication, the ambiguous atmosphere between them seemed to become obvious.
heating up.
The current situation is that Gao Jingfei already vaguely knows the thoughts of Wu Zhixuan, a cheap senior. He also has that idea, but is still hesitating. Wu Zhixuan understands her inner thoughts. At first, she admired Gao Jingfei mostly, but then gradually began to
She likes this young boy who is three years younger than her, and she also sees that Gao Jingfei also has a good impression of her, but is not sure about his attitude.
It's just that the woman is too reserved to break through this layer of paper.
As a result, others watched and became anxious, but the two of them unexpectedly enjoyed this ambiguous relationship of "above AUO, but not yet in love".
Because Wu Zhixuan was precocious since she was a child, she felt very naive about the behavior of boys of the same age in front of her, so she had never had such contact with the opposite sex; while Gao Jingfei had two lives, one was a withdrawn middle-aged uncle, don't talk about it
When I fell in love, I didn't even touch a girl's hand. In this life, I was a dumb boy with no interest. I had fantasies in my heart, but I didn't realize them even after I graduated from high school.
This kind of secret affection and ambiguous relationship is a very novel and exciting experience for this couple who have never been in love before.
Therefore, they are not in a hurry to break the current delicate situation.
This made Wu Zhao Shuyuan, who was watching on the sidelines, anxious but unable to do anything. However, she also knew that at this time, she could not intervene too obviously, otherwise it would easily have a counterproductive effect.
This delay was postponed until a few days later, which was approaching the seventh day of the seventh month of the Chongzhen calendar, which was the day of the most grand festival celebration of the year, the "Qixi Festival", in Sanlikun and several surrounding cities where Xia people gathered.
No matter which country in the world we are in, festivals involving love between men and women are always one of the most celebrated festivals, usually second only to harvest festivals or new year festivals.
The Qixi Festival has also developed into a relatively widespread and distinctive festival in Nanyang due to the tradition of Xia people's immigration.
In the three days before and after the Chinese Valentine's Day, not only are floats paraded, every house is decorated with lights, and there is also a bonfire and fireworks display in the evening.
Of course, the most anticipated event is the blind date conference where men and women openly meet each other.
Even the local natives have been accustomed to participating in this festival for hundreds of years, and affectionately call the Chinese Valentine's Day "Flower Festival". Many of them are even more enthusiastic than the Xia people.
The sixth day of July is the first day when the floats officially start, followed by the begging for luck on the night of July 7th, the bonfire fireworks activities, and finally the blind date meeting on July 8th. The floats and the blind date meeting actually last for several days.
It's going on, but the 6th and 8th are the official days.
The day when the float parade begins is the day when Wu Zhixuan's birthday party is held, which can also be called the blind date party for the daughter of the Wu family in Sanlikun.
Although Wu Zhao Shuyuan, mother and daughter, and Wu Jixing, the second-ranking figure in the Wu family, have already approved Gao Jingfei as the son-in-law candidate, the banquet that should be held still has to be held because the invitations have been sent to familiar families in advance. If it is announced that it will be canceled now
, wouldn’t it refute the face of various wealthy families?
Of course, the Wu family would not do this because it would offend these Xia-origin families who had a good relationship with them, so the blind date conference will continue to be held.
Perhaps the ambiguity was enough, Wu Zhixuan couldn't help but make some changes. She invited Gao Jingfei, hoping that Gao Jingfei could be her male companion at this banquet.
This is almost an explicit behavior, but Wu Zhixuan explained:
"This is just a formality. Junior, don't think too much, just think of it as doing me a favor!"
Gao Jingfei also understood and pretended not to care, and agreed enthusiastically.
"Senior, don't worry, my handsome face will definitely put those guys who want to pester you to shame. If there are still those who are stalking you, you have to try my fists.
…”
Although Gao Jingfei was boasting, others couldn't refute him.
Of course, in the eyes of Wu Zhixuan, her parents, her second uncle, and others, this was still a cover-up, but the two parties involved deliberately pretended to be dumbfounded and didn't understand. There was nothing they could do, and the onlookers were really anxious.
who.
It's just that the whole Wu family is currently busy with Wu Zhixuan's birthday party and has no time to interfere with these two people.
As for the grand float parade and blind date meeting held every year in Sanlikun from Silk Harbor to Sangpu, naturally there will be city government officials in charge. As the rulers of the Wu family, they will only be in front of the public during the first and last two days.
Showing your face just means having fun with the people.
Therefore, Wu Zhixuan and Gao Jingfei also enjoyed their leisure time, especially Gao Jingfei. During this period, apart from having an affair with Wu Zhixuan, a beautiful senior, he also did not delay his practice.
Over the past few days, although his level has not improved, the secrets and techniques at hand have made great progress, making his strength slightly stronger than when he bombarded the gangster camp with fireballs on the border of Shan State.
