Wednesday, October 30, the 26th day of the ninth lunar month.
Jiangxia is overcast in summer with light rain.
No wind.
The temperature is low, no higher than 20c.
Today, one week after the frost festival, the autumn weather has gradually turned to cooler winter weather in most places across the country.
At early eight o'clock, Wen Liang had just finished breakfast with his parents when Wang Wanhua came to the table.
"Your image outside is usually too calm and not so young and energetic. Don't wear something so formal today. Just wear a cotton coat."
Wen Liang: "?"
I have never heard of such a requirement.
Don’t engagements and marriages have to be formal and appropriate?
For this reason, Wen Liang announced the beginning of summer as early as late August, and then he set up a private tailoring workshop.
Among them, we spent a lot of money to hire a few tailors who can be called national treasures. They usually mainly sew Mao-style tunic suits by hand.
We also invited a retired master who usually made clothes for Lao Pingtou and the others to take charge.
If it weren't for Wen Liang's connection, no one would be able to answer.
In addition, we have recruited several teams of designers from home and abroad, who usually specialize in custom-made designs, including men's and women's clothing, and mainly serve the co-founder team of Bolang Group and family members.
Anyway, the workshop has been set up and the money has been spent. Spending a little more is not a big problem. Besides, whether you are a designer or a collector, you have to be more hands-on to be good at it.
To be honest, Li Ze and the others didn't believe that Wen Liang was just trying to look more decent on the engagement day.
Even my aunt Wang Wanyu didn't believe it.
But that's the fact.
Normally, Wen Liang is really not that picky, because he rarely dresses formally, and most of the time he is more casual, at most in a business style.
Even if he was dragging his children around, he would still drink, chat and spank with the old man.
Wang Wanhua was a little stunned when she saw Wen Liang, and was quite surprised: "What?"
Wen Liang said a little aggrievedly for the first time: "I... started preparing clothes two months in advance, and even set up a private tailoring workshop to make several sets of Mao Mao tunic suits for me..."
"It's okay. It will come in handy when you get married. Anyway, it's only a little over eight months." Wang Wanhua waved her hand, "Be more energetic. Don't forget that Xiaojian is only 19 years old. The things she faces every day are not as complicated as yours."
.”
Then he said: "We won't accompany you there, you know."
"ah?"
"You have to face it yourself. Because you have an elder like Uncle Li and some strict customs, you have to visit Lao Li's house first. Then your dad and I will go there at lunch time, and the two families will have lunch together at Lao Li's house."
Wang Wanhua explained in detail.
"When you go, some of the main relatives of Lao Li's family will be there, but they won't have lunch with us. There will be a separate banquet to make amends, and we will all sit down together in the afternoon."
Wen Liang: "..."
Wang Wanhua added: "Originally, there should have been a matchmaker, but because you are so... high-status, it was difficult to hire one. The old Li family is also considerate."
"..."
Wang Wanhua explained in a ramble.
Finally, he emphasized: "Last point, today you are a gentle junior, not Mr. Wen. You must be modest and friendly in your speech."
Wen Liang quickly nodded obediently.
The actual process is not complicated.
Very simple.
The same is true for ordinary people's engagements. What may be slightly different is that they will be accompanied by parents, matchmakers, etc. The etiquette must be in place and the rules must not be exceeded.
For Wen Liang, it means not being as casual or as sharp as usual.
You have to act like a young man.
Mr. Wen is not like a young man. Even if the business and political circles just regard Wen Liang as a young man in their hearts, they probably don't know how he died.
Fortunately... Wen Liang has always been a carefree person in front of his acquaintances. As long as he restrains himself a little and is more honest and courteous, he will be a young man.
…………
At early ten o'clock in the morning, Wen Liang drove a relatively high-profile Bentley Continental to the compound where old Li Tou lived.
It's a little different from the past few times I've been here. There are cars parked inside and outside the yard.
All Audi.
The doors and a small number of windows from the yard to the houses inside were all open, and some not-so-noisy noises blew away the usual quiet.
There were no lanterns or festoons.
It's not exactly a joyous atmosphere, but it's somewhat lively.
When Wen Liang arrived by car, Su Jian's uncle Li Zheming had already come out to welcome him. He greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Xiao Wen has worked hard all the way."
Wen Liang opened his mouth, took the cigarette that was handed to him, and then thanked him: "Thank you, uncle."
In the past, he always said 'you're welcome'.
Hahahaha~
Walking into Lao Li's house, all I saw were familiar faces.
"Hey, Wen Liang."
"Here we come."
There are very few relatives of Lao Li's family who can come here on such an occasion.
Wen Liang knew them all.
The elders are Su Jian's uncle and aunt, Li Zheming and his wife, and two uncles, Su Hean and Su Chao, came with their respective spouses.
There are also a few of my peers, all young, around ten, seven or eight years old.
Of course, Su Jian's parents Li Zhekai and Su Hongxue were also there.
There was also an old lady who rarely showed up, Lao Li Tou's wife.
Although they are all acquaintances, Wen Liang still obeys the nagging arrangements of his family friend Ms. Wang Wanhua and treats him as his junior honestly.
If someone mentioned it, he would say nothing, otherwise he would put on a smile.
As for...Su Jian?
Wen Liang didn't know where she was either.
While chattering, time passed quickly. At about 11:20, Li Zheming and his wife left here with a room full of relatives.
Li Zhekai and his wife also walked out of the yard and drove outside the community to welcome Wen Ruiguo and Wang Wanhua.
Only then did Wen Liang meet Su Jian.
Like Wen Liang, Su Jian did not dress up to attend...if she wanted to dress up, Wen Liang would definitely help.
She was also wearing a simple autumn jacket and jeans today, which was different from usual. She had light makeup on her face.
The two families sat together, and Old Li Tou said formally: "Wen Liang, you are very good. From now on, Xiao Jian will be left to you."
"The child is not very sensible yet. Uncle Li has given me a compliment." Wen Ruiguo quickly answered.
Li Zhekai also said a few words: "..."
Lao Li waved his hand and spoke again: "Our two families should stop talking about this."
"When it comes to public affairs at my level, I will try my best to deal with them. Zhekai, you and Zheming should both emphasize that you should not go to Wenliang for anything you encounter at work. You must know how much you weigh and how much you weigh.
Understand the situation, and when the water is full, it will overflow."
Li Zhekai nodded repeatedly: "I understand, don't worry."
Old Li Tou has real wisdom and knows that if there is no accident, he can still move up. But after him, within thirty to fifty years, the Li family will not be able to get into the official position again.
Under the current system, there is no talent in officialdom.
Therefore, Lao Li Tou was actually the first to understand that Wen Liang was determined to realize some of his ideas through business.
If I have to look back on the past, I can only say that Wen Liang was really lucky.
First, the profound wealth left by Grandpa Wen Liang was very useful. When Wen Liang had the ability and skill, Old Li Tou gave him 100% support.
The second is that Lao Litou is truly reasonable and can understand the unreasonable behavior.
"..."
Lunch will begin soon.
At the dinner table, after Wen Liang and Su Jian served tea to their elders as juniors, the marriage was confirmed.
Later in the afternoon, Li Zheming returned to the courtyard with his entire family.
The content of the discussion this time was a little more relaxed, and of course not that serious.
It's a little different from ordinary people.
The concern is not about past glory or current situation, but basically aiming at future development.
As the old saying goes: use your energy in one place.
The old Li family and the old Su family will fully support Wen Liang's development in the coming time, striving to complete the last trembling accumulation faster, so that Wen Liang himself has the foundation to confront the boss, the boss and others.
Many rules were trampled into chaos by our boss and others as early as this past October, or even earlier.
Wen Liang is not a good man. Originally, he and Bolang walked on two legs, with little other external support. Even if there was, such as the article posted by Lao Litou in Hubei, it was almost a forced statement, not a direct end.
.
As for Lao Miaotou, he didn't even show up.
Otherwise, the previous mobile hearings one after another would not have happened at all.
Those things are all the internal affairs of Lao Miaotou, who is in charge of one-third of an acre of land, and can be decided with one word.
from……
Probably starting from the 12-minute report at seven o'clock, Wen Liang's views and ideas changed.
Even after that, Goldman Sachs fully intervened, eight mobile hearings were held, and the Log4j2 vulnerability was not reported to the Industrial Information Technology Co., Ltd. for more than ten days. After a series of events, some people, including Lao Miaotou, no longer ‘deceived themselves’.
So, from now on, Wen Liang will have three legs to walk on.
…………
…………
In the evening, the middle-aged elders of the old Li family, the old Su family, and the old Wen family left separately. Su and An even took the opportunity to go back to Yangcheng.
Wen Liang and Su Jian naturally left Lao Li's house.
He didn't go back to Lao Wen's house, nor to Su Hongxue's house, nor even to the top floor of Tiandi Yujiangyuan, where he had stayed several times. Instead, he went to a villa community.
It's not the city center, it's a suburb.
This will be Wen Liang and Su Jian's new house in Jiangxia. It has been renovated from the inside out, and the style was decided jointly by Wen Liang and Su Jian.
It's just that Su Jian didn't know where the decoration plan they decided on was used.
When Su Jian arrived at the new house with Wen Liang, Su Jian was slightly surprised. Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a manor, not a simple villa yard. It should cover an area of more than ten acres.
The supporting facilities are even better than the images in film and television works.
There are two helipads on the east and west sides of the manor, supporting hangars, and a small green to build a golf course for outdoor entertainment. In addition, there are tennis courts, swimming pools and other necessary facilities.
Not small anyway.
The overall style is a combination of Chinese and Western. For example, several buildings in the manor have a relatively obvious Western design style, and the structure of the courtyard is more garden-style.
In this regard, Wen Liang said: "Just live there."
To be honest, this new house is mainly convenient for the housekeepers, aunts, nannies, and security guards who have been living and serving here for a long time, not Wen Liang and Su Jian.
They can stay here for twenty days all year round, which is considered too much.
After all, distance is not a problem. With a gentle temperament, I will choose to live in a villa in Yangcheng that has already started to be renovated.
…………
In the small restaurant, Wen Liang and Su Jian had their first meal together.
After taking a short rest, the two began to visit the main design of the main building. The main building has three floors plus an attic. The number of rooms on each floor is actually not many. The first floor is slightly more because there are multiple restaurants.
There are six rooms on the second floor, including a piano room, gym, children's room and three guest bedrooms.
The third floor is a bit more special. The entire floor can be said to be one big room, with a dressing room, a large bathroom, a small bathroom, and a dressing room all integrated into the master bedroom.
There are only two doors leading to the corridor, one leads directly to the bathroom and one leads directly to the master bedroom.
After a busy day, the two naturally entered the bathroom directly.
After a while, Wen Liang lay down in the bathtub, which was not very big, and soaked in the warm water, relieving the pressure all over his body.
Then Su Jian, who was wearing a bathrobe, also lay in the bathtub fully clothed.
Looking at Wen Liang, Su Jian's eyebrows turned up in excitement: "God is so kind to me. I counted my life more than a month ago, and today it is just right..."
"You understand correctly. Eleven did it on purpose. He also deliberately teased you before you went to the capital. Girls always want to leave a little sense of ceremony."
Wen Liang smiled slightly: "I know, I vaguely understood it after you came to the capital on your birthday."
"Baby, you're so smart~" Su Jian deliberately changed the title, then grabbed Wen Liang's hand that was about to move, "Say a few more words."
Wen Liang struggled a little and said seriously: "No delay."
"Hmm~" Su Jian's face turned red slightly, and he spoke quickly, "Can I ask some disappointing questions?"
Wen Liang played with Su Jian's long hair: "Ask."
"Hmm...will you like me?"
"Why do you think I don't like you?"
"Maybe I can't feel it, or the words of love, love, and love are very precious to you. It's not like people opening and closing their mouths to express love. You can't hear it, so you feel like you don't feel it."
"Take your time, don't rush."
"Um."
"..."
"Originally, I was actually just competitive. I thought that as long as I liked you, you would definitely like me, but... now I find that I seem to really... love you."
"I feel very good. I can love someone very much and get this person in my life. I have no regrets."
"Um?"
"Apart from careers such as Bolang, don't I only have feelings for you as a man or woman in my life? This year, or even earlier, every part of my life is written by you."
"yes!"
Su Jian immediately stopped embarrassing himself.
"We have long shared weal and woe."
She no longer cares about things that may not necessarily have answers. She doesn't talk about earlier things. She has arranged and planned every part of Wen Liang's life since New Year's Day.
Except for work, Wen Liang gives almost all the control over his time to himself.
In Wen Liang's current life, apart from her, Su Jian, not even her parents, aunt and other relatives have much involvement, of course...except for Xiao Li Rang.
When Su Jian finished speaking, he turned directly to Wen Liang: "The water is a bit hot~"
"Baby~"
Early the next morning, the sun was rising.
Wen Liang opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the familiar pretty face, reached out and poked it, and said with a smile: "Good morning, Xiaojian."
"Morning." Su Jian blinked his big eyes, moved his neck, and kissed Wen Liang on the mouth.
Neither of them got up for a long time.
There is nothing I can do, my calves, waist and eyes are all getting weak...
