"Listen, the two people above are chatting happily, talking and laughing." Yong Jie listened to the movement upstairs with a smile, and looked at Zhao Kezhen who was immersed in writing and said.
"Why, are you taking it seriously?" Zhao Kezhen said without raising his head.
"Alas," Yong Jie sighed, "It would be great if Zhou Xuanhe was not a spy this time. He is young, well-educated, and the librarian of the Yan University Library. The people he usually interacts with are senior scholars. If such a person
If you leave it outside, I’m afraid there will be many people asking to marry you within half a year. I heard from Er Sheng that many female students like to go to the library when they have nothing to do!”
"My daughter is crazy, are you crazy about your mother?" Zhao Kezhen finally raised his head, with a hint of jealousy on his face, "You women are prone to being emotional. Tell me, have you already acquiesced in this marriage?"
"That's not true. I was thinking about Er Sheng's future. If the limelight passes after such a marriage, what will she do in the future?" Yong Jie had a trace of sadness on her face.
"You are overthinking, your daughter is much stronger than you think," Zhao Kezhen put down his pen and looked at Yong Jie seriously, "This child is very smart!"
"I hope what you said is true!" Yongjie sighed again, glanced upstairs, stood up and said, "It's not a short time. I'll go up and see if the young people don't cause any trouble."
"Whatever happens, I'll have to live there from now on, can you see?" Zhao Kezhen looked at Yong Jie's leaving back and muttered something, but did not stop her.
However, just as Yongjie took a few steps, she heard the sound of the door opening above. Immediately afterwards, Geng Chaozhong walked down with brisk steps. Yongjie stopped and sat back down.
"Have you finished chatting?"
She rolled her eyelids and glanced at Geng Chaozhong, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
"I told Er Sheng a few jokes." Geng Chaozhong was a little unsure of Yong Jie's meaning. He glanced at Zhao Kezhen, but found that Zhao Kezhen didn't even raise his head. He paused and then said: "Two elders, if not
As for other matters, I will take my leave and go back."
"Go back now? When will you get married, when will you get married, where is the matchmaker, and where is the bride price? There is nothing, just come here and forget about it?" Yong Jie rolled her eyes and said.
Geng Chaozhong was a little speechless. He said he was just going through the motions, so why are he so serious?
But after thinking about it, I really had to go through the cutscenes seriously, which I had neglected, so I immediately said: "I have prepared the bride price. The house is near Xisi Hutong. I just bought a bungalow from a foreigner. I am getting married."
Someone has been found to organize the ceremony, and as for the date, two elders will be asked to decide on it."
"There is no need to choose a date, just set it on the Lantern Festival." Zhao Kezhen, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head, "This was a good day for two people to be happy in ancient times, and it is perfect for getting married. Besides,
, didn’t you just say that you were going to have a new-style wedding? Why are you making so much fuss about it?”
"Chinese and Western, Chinese and Western." Geng Chaozhongqian laughed several times.
"What about the integration of China and the United States? Are you as popular as Principal Chang?" Zhao Kezhen followed Yong Jie's example and rolled his eyes.
Geng Chaozhong suddenly understood that this was their true attitude.
They were unwilling to give in, but they had no choice. Since their daughter had no objection, they had to keep pretending.
"Okay, let's go. Come over to get married on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Don't make too much noise. I don't want too many people to know about this. Send a car, tie it with red silk, and set off a few firecrackers. Anyway, no one will notice the cannons during the first month.
That's it!" Zhao Kezhen waved his hand and gave the order to expel the guests.
"Okay, then my son-in-law has resigned."
Geng Chaozhong made a bow. This was pure bad taste.
After leaving the Zhao family, Geng Chaozhong felt relaxed. When he came back to the Zhao family, he had long been prepared to be criticized by thousands of people. Unexpectedly, the two couples did not make things difficult, and Er Sheng was even more...
.
Thinking of Er Sheng, an indescribable taste suddenly surged into his heart. It seemed bitter, sweet, sour, and spicy. This made Geng Chaozhong's originally relaxed heart become worried about gains and losses. It was very unusual for him.
He was so distracted that he didn't notice anything going on around him, and just walked back to his residence like a zombie.
.........
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. At 5 o'clock in the morning, when it was still dark, two black cars tied with red silk drove to the door of Zhao's house. Immediately afterwards, the second car got on
A few young men came down, dressed in suits that looked like they had just been made, and also tied in red silk. They took out several large boxes from the back seat and placed them on the open space in front of the door. Then they stood there without saying a word.
It seems to be waiting for some order.
"What are you doing? Why are everyone so silent? Today is Brother Six's happy day. Why don't you just keep a stony look on your face and think this is a mission? You all made me laugh!"
At this moment, a young man wearing a robe and a top hat suddenly walked up next to him, with a ball of white gauze tied on his left hand. He seemed to be the leader of these people. He scolded everyone, and then the men in suits woke up.
Everyone smiled brightly.
The man looked at the sky and looked at the watch on his wrist from time to time. After more than half an hour, there was another group not far away holding trombones, accordions, clarinets and other Western instruments, wearing gold-embroidered clothes.
The band in standard uniforms came over, and the leader was surprisingly a blond foreigner!
The foreign commander nodded to the man, indicating that he was ready. The man also nodded and suddenly shouted:
"The auspicious time has come, let's set off fireworks and firecrackers! The band will play!"
As soon as the words fell, the group of men in suits standing next to them immediately took action, lighting fires and alerting. In a blink of an eye, firecrackers were blasting, gongs and drums were noisy, and the front door of Zhao's residence immediately turned into a sea of fireworks.
A Western band was playing hard next to it, and the whole streets and alleys suddenly became agitated. Soon, countless people and onlookers gathered around to watch the excitement.
"Isn't the movement a bit too loud..."
In the first car at the door, Geng Chaozhong, who was wearing a long robe, a bright red silk tie around his waist, and a big red flower on his chest, was muttering to himself.
Before coming, Wang Jianqiu said he wanted to give him a surprise. Unexpectedly, it was this surprise. Wang Jianqiu found a group of Western bands from nowhere and actually put on an orchestral performance during the wedding!
As soon as the commotion became louder, the second floor of Zhao's mansion also lit up. Immediately afterwards, the door of the first floor opened wide, and several servants of the Zhao family ran out. Each of them looked puzzled, as if they were not ready yet.
Understand what's going on.
Not long after, Zhao Kezhen walked out wearing a royal blue mandarin jacket, bowed to everyone around him and said:
"Hello dear friends, today is my daughter's happy day. Because of my special status, in order to respond to the principal's idea of keeping everything simple, I don't want to make a fuss, so I didn't notify the neighbors before. I'm sorry to bother you. Please bear with me.
, a lot of congratulations!"
After a few casual remarks, everyone finally understood that Director Zhao was going to marry his daughter. Why hadn't they heard anything about it before?
At this moment, two more people appeared at the door. Yong Jie was wearing a purple cheongsam, holding her daughter who was wearing a red Chinese embroidered dress and a big red cloth on her head and walked out. Geng Chaozhong thought for a while and took out a
He put on his sunglasses, then opened the car door, held a bouquet of flowers, and walked to the door of Zhao's residence under the guidance of a matchmaker.
"Dad, Mom, my son-in-law is here to pick up Er Sheng!"
Geng Chaozhong bowed to Zhao Kezhen and his wife who were standing at the door.
"Okay, let's go!" Zhao Kezhen nodded, looked around, and whispered: "Hurry up, you are making too much noise, and the Japanese will probably come over soon!"
Geng Chaozhong nodded. Zhao Kezhen now has a good relationship with the Japanese. For such a happy event of marrying a daughter, Japanese consul Keiji Koizumi and Peking Super High School Director Kawasaki are likely to be present. Because of this, Zhao Kezhen hid everything including
Everyone including the servants in the house.
Zhao Kezhen looked at Yong Jie and motioned her to hand over her daughter to Geng Chaozhong. Yong Jie hesitated for a moment and seemed to have something else to say to Er Sheng. It seemed that she really took this wedding seriously!
"Hurry up, don't waste time." Seeing that Yong Jie was still hesitating, Zhao Kezhen reminded her again.
"Well, daughter, go ahead. Be good and learn to take care of yourself in the future." Yong Jie gently stroked her daughter's back, with a few tears flashing in her eyes.
Zhao Kezhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and urged: "If you don't leave, the Japanese will come!"
Only then did Yong Jie come to her senses and quickly handed her daughter over to Geng Chaozhong. Geng Chaozhong took Er Sheng's hand and felt a slight movement in his heart.
"Let's go, Er Sheng!"
Geng Chaozhong took Er Sheng's hand, and the two walked slowly towards the car.
