That night, Xiang Que, Kong Dejing and Shen Linfeng conspired for a long time, taking every detail into consideration to make sure everything was flawless. Both the Kong family and the Shen family have been aristocratic for thousands of years, so there is no doubt that the interests of these two families were affected. It's dancing on the tip of a knife. If you're not careful, you may offend these two giants. You must do everything in detail.
Xiang Que has no intention of taking on any more debts at this time. He will offend one less person if he can. He just wants to solve all the problems step by step. After all, he will face the biggest crisis in his life in almost a year and a half. If you can survive a catastrophe safely, it will be great, but if you cannot survive it, everything will be in vain.
One day later, when the Shen family's motorcade was about to return, Shen Linfeng approached Shen Tianchang and talked to him about getting engaged.
"The betrothal gift has already been given, which is equivalent to an engagement, why bother..."
Shen Tianchang had just finished speaking when Shen Linfeng directly interrupted and said, "Dad, that's what happened. First of all, getting engaged is also the custom in our family. It's not an overstep. And then I've been getting along with Xiao Jing'er these two days. It's quite good. The relationship is growing day by day, which is a bit like meeting someone late. I talked to her yesterday and the girl felt that as a wedding event, it is always better to be formal. A betrothal gift is a betrothal gift. An engagement is an engagement. Do you know that a woman can have a different birth background? Noble, but she is still a woman. She always wants to marry in a glamorous way. Isn’t that the only thing a woman can think about? As for the engagement, we don’t want to make a big fuss. Let the two families have a meal together and find someone with a little bit of fun. It’s enough for the people with the weight to just go through the motions, and there’s no need to make a fuss about it. It’s enough to set up a few banquet tables.”
Shen Linfeng thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, look at the date and say hello to the Kong family. I'm going back to Hangzhou first. If you agree on a day when you get engaged, you can give me the news and I'll fly over again."
Shen Linfeng suddenly laughed and said, "Hey, I have full authority to handle it?"
"I'm so busy all day, do I still have to worry about everything?"
"Okay, Dad, I will stay in Qufu for the time being."
At the same time, Kong Dejing approached Mr. Kong Da and his parents at the Confucius Mansion, and almost said the same thing as Shen Linfeng.
"Dejing, you have been with the Shen family's young master these past two days, right? How are you getting along?" Mr. Kong Da asked.
A faint smile appeared on Kong Dejing's face, and she said with superb acting skills: "It's quite harmonious. I can't say whether Lin Feng is a young master of aristocratic family. I really can't find anything wrong with him."
Kong Dejing's mother covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It's only been a few days, and Lin Feng has already called me. You are making pretty fast progress."
Mr. Kong Da nodded slightly and said: "We have been a big family for more than seven hundred years. There is nothing to be said about it. The family has long since fallen into decline. After more than ten generations, there will always be a few outstanding children. The combination of you and Shen Linfeng It should also be passed down as a good story. You are well-informed and sensible, and he is very generous. It is indeed right."
Kong Dejing continued: "But Lin Feng mentioned it to me yesterday. He said that in addition to the betrothal gift, our two families should also hold an engagement ceremony. After all, the names of the Kong family and the Shen family are there. , it’s best not to skip the necessary procedures, and I agree. Let’s have a meal together, find someone with weight to witness it, and just set up a few banquet tables.”
Mr. Kong Da was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "This is also true."
There is a saying in both the north and the south about the engagement meal. The man and woman who have almost decided on their lifelong event will gather together symbolically a few months before the wedding. Once the engagement meal is eaten and the betrothal gift is eaten, the marriage will be finalized.
The countdown stage has begun.
Kong Dejing and Shen Linfeng, before they decided to get married, their horoscopes, attributes and five elements must have been calculated long ago. Even if they are not a perfect match, they are definitely not incompatible. In addition to paying attention to the well-matched family, rich families also pay attention to whether their horoscopes are compatible.
In fact, it is more important. If the horoscopes are not compatible, it will be more helpless than a stubborn melon, and there is no way to get together.
The engagement day is one week later.
During this week, Xiang Que, Shen Linfeng and Kong Dejing met three times in total. Each time they met, they perfected the details and discussed every step until all plans were finalized.
One night before the engagement, on the top floor of the inpatient department of Qufu City Hospital, the doctor on duty was lying on the counter playing with his mobile phone. There was no one in the corridor. This floor is where the hospital morgue is. At night, unless there are patients who have just died,
It will be sent in, otherwise no one would come to this floor free.
Suddenly, the lights on the ceiling flashed a few times, and then suddenly went out. The doctor on duty put down his mobile phone and frowned, got up and walked out of the counter and pressed the switch on the wall twice.
"Short circuit?" The doctor muttered a few words silently, then walked to the stairwell to check the switch.
After the doctor left, the elevator door happened to open. Xiang Que quickly walked out of the elevator, took out a bunch of keys from the counter, went to the morgue door, opened the door, then turned around and put the keys back.
"Bang Dang" Xiang Que entered the morgue and closed the door.
The corpses in the hospital morgue are usually those that have just died one or two days ago and have not yet had time to be sent to the funeral parlor for cremation. Basically, they have to wait until their family members have taken care of the hospital's affairs before they are sent away.
The morgue was gloomy and cold, with a total of seven corpses covered under white cloths. Xiang Que opened a white cloth, and there was an elderly man wearing a shroud lying on the bed. The old man's expression was quite peaceful, which should be a normal death.
"The gate of heaven is open, the gate of earth is not closed, the living souls have dispersed and the dead souls have dispersed, the ghost gate of Fengdu is wide open..." Xiang Que took out a piece of talisman paper and covered it on the old man's face. Suddenly,
A dark wind suddenly rose in the balance room, and a faint shadow appeared out of thin air in front of the old man.
The shadow's eyes were blank at first, until after a while, he looked down and saw himself lying on the bed, covered by a white cloth, with a sad look on his face.
Anyone who sees his own death with his own eyes will inevitably show a look of nostalgia. People always have too many worries.
Xiang Que walked to the second body covered by a white cloth, and then lifted the white cloth.
A few minutes later, there were seven newly deceased souls in the morgue. Before the first seven days after death, the souls had not been taken to the underworld and had been wandering in the world. They would only wait until the first seven days after the family burned the ladder to heaven.
Complete separation between yin and yang.
"Only seven? It's a little less..." Xiang Que shook his head helplessly, put away the seven talismans, and the seven dead souls in the morgue disappeared instantly.
