Since the morning of this day, a rumor has spread in Qufu's room, saying that a young lady from the Confucius family is getting engaged today.
Here in Qufu, ordinary news does not arouse much interest among the people. At most, it is just a few casual chats after dinner, and the excitement will dissipate quickly. But anything involving the Confucius Mansion is big news, and the entire Qufu They are all very curious. Qufu is the hometown of Confucius, so the people of Qufu regard themselves as half Confucius, and consider themselves as disciples of Confucianism and Taoism. Only with the development of the times and the advancement of society, this idea gradually decreased, but The middle-aged and elderly people still stubbornly believe that Confucius is still a belief in their hearts, so the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Confucius family has become an event that Qufu people talk about very much.
For a time, this rumor spread widely among the people. People were curious about which young talent could marry the eldest lady of the Confucius family. Then at noon, the name Shen Linfeng appeared. came out, and his details were also spread to people's ears. It was only said that this young man named Shen Linfeng was a wealthy businessman in the south and very wealthy. However, this news about Shen Wansan's descendants was not spread.
At this time, the people in Qufu felt a little bored, because in their hearts, the identity of a direct descendant of Confucius and Confucius was very transcendent and respected. Although she was a woman, she represented the most orthodox Confucius family. With Kong Dejing I shouldn't marry a businessman who is full of bad reputations, even if he is an official. Of course, it is best to be an outstanding disciple of Confucius and Mencius.
They felt that Kong Dejing and Shen Linfeng were not a good match at all. Even if he was a wealthy businessman, no matter how rich he was, it would still tarnish the reputation of Confucius' descendants.
Just because of this news of the engagement, the people of Qufu cried out in mourning. They felt that the eldest lady of the Confucius family was not worthy of it. Opposition voices began to appear, but they were more reserved or whispered and were not widely publicized.
In the evening, there were more and more discordant voices among the people in Qufu, almost reaching the point where everyone was talking about it. At this time, the Kong family naturally got the news, and Mr. Kong Da looked very ugly.
"Who leaked the news?" Mr. Kong Da asked dissatisfied.
"The Archdeacon is not considered to have leaked out. On the day when the Shen family sent the betrothal gift, many people from the Kong family were there, and there were also many people from the Shen family. It is normal for one or two people to be talkative."
Deacon Kong Da snorted heavily and said: "A bunch of ignorant Shengdou commoners are worrying about everything."
After all, what the public knew was limited. They just didn’t want the eldest daughter of the Confucius family to marry a businessman full of copper odor. But if they knew that the descendant of Shen Wansan, the richest man in Jiangnan, would marry him, they probably wouldn’t object too much. After all, they didn’t want her to marry. When a person is rich beyond description, you can no longer simply say that he is a rich person, and he is no longer a pure businessman.
At night, the lights are on.
Three cars drove out from the old house of the Kong family. The people inside were all the Kong family, Mr. Kong Da, Kong Dejing's parents, and Kong Deru, who had become Xianyun Yehe. The cars came down the hill from the old house and went straight to the city. At night At eight o'clock, Kong Dejing and Shen Linfeng held an engagement dinner at the star hotel in Qufu.
Originally, the intention of the two families was to gather together and simply set up a few tables for a banquet. After all, the major matters had already been decided. However, after the rumors spread during the day, the relationship between Mr. Kong Da and Kong Dejing My parents received a lot of people who wanted to participate in the engagement ceremony. These people were basically local people in Qufu, including businessmen and government officials.
In this way, what was intended to be a simple purchase turned into a big deal, and the scale of a few banquets turned into a dinner party. This was the result of the Confucius Mansion rejecting many people, otherwise there would be even more people.
At the entrance of the hotel, Shen Linfeng, well-dressed, stood outside with his hands behind his back, waiting for the people from the Kong family to arrive. Xiang Que mingled with his entourage, also wearing a Tang suit, standing behind Shen Linfeng.
"Your method is simply too dark, Xiang Que. I'm really worried about how dark Mr. Kong Da's face will be by then."
Xiang Que scratched his nose and said, "Why aren't you worried about whether your father's face will be dark?"
"Compared with my poignant love story, it doesn't matter what color my father's face will be. Besides, this is Qufu, not Hangzhou. We can't lose our shame, but the Kong family is really going to have a headache. Shen Linfeng tilted his head and said in a low voice: "Hey, if Mr. Kong Da knew that you were behind this, would he tear your heart out alive?"
"Even if nothing happened today, he would still think so. It doesn't matter."
Ten minutes later, Shen Linfeng received news from Kong Dejing that Kong's car was about to arrive at the hotel. He turned around and said, "Tell the master, he is coming."
A few minutes later, three cars parked in front of the hotel one after another. Shen Tianchang and Shen Linfeng walked down the steps together and took the initiative to greet them.
But at this time, many cars from far away from the hotel started to drive towards us at the same time, and they all parked in the parking lot of the hotel. Then all the people got down, and what was surprising was that these people had all their arms Wearing black cloth, many people even wore filial piety cloth around their waists and white hats on their heads.
These people all understood at a glance that they were just doing nothing.
This group of people had just gotten out of the car, and several more cars drove up the road and entered the parking lot. When the door opened and people got out, many people were a little confused, because the people who came over were still doing nothing, and there were people from both sides. No one said hello to each other, it was obvious that they were two groups of people.
Mr. Kong Da suddenly frowned: "Where is the hotel manager?"
"Mr. Kong Da, you are looking for me." Then the manager came over.
"What's going on? Are you having a wedding banquet?" Mr. Kong Da asked with a rather ugly face.
“Reception is normal, they all made reservations in the morning.”
"Do you know that we are here today, right? Why do we still accept the wedding banquet if we know it?"
The manager said helplessly: "Mr. Kong Da, if the hotel is open for business, you can't push the business out, right? This is the off-season for the hotel. If we don't do any business, where will the profit for that year come from? ah"
Mr. Kong Da snorted deeply. At this time, Shen Tianchang said very seriously: "It's okay. We will handle our affairs and they will handle theirs. We are not in the same hall and we will not interfere with each other."
As soon as Shen Tianchang finished speaking, two groups of people walked over from both sides of the road at about the same time. When they saw it, they were immediately confused.
These are two groups of people doing nothing, and there are quite a few of them.
At this time, not only Mr. Kong Da, but also Shen Tianchang's expression was wrong. We held an engagement banquet and were surrounded by a group of people who arrange funeral arrangements for the dead?
