Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years.

After a heart-to-knee conversation with Professor Li Mingguang, Zhang Tianyuan went home satisfied, and handed over the design drawing to Tie Ruisheng the next day.

In the rest of December, Zhang Tianyuan stayed in the courtyard to read and study, and the experience of Dongjiaomin Lane made him understand that he was still far away, even if he had a six-character truth, if the social experience was not good, then he would still be deceived. Nowadays, the accumulation of social experience cannot be so fast, so it will be easier to read books, see how others are doing, and remind yourself.

Nie Zhen Nie eldest prince is talking about his marriage and the Chinese garden, and he doesn't even call Zhang Tianyuan, which makes Zhang Tianyuan feel a lot more leisurely, since playing with antiques, there are few such idle days, if you don't hurry up and adjust it, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future.

With the arrival of cold air, the imperial capital finally ushered in its first snow, at first it was still sleet, thinking that it would not rain much, but at night, it turned into goose feather snow.

A man sits behind a curtain of snow and mist, listening to the sound of snow falling. The falling dead leaves were quickly covered by the snow, like a speck of dust that disappeared in an instant, and along with Zhang Tianyuan's memory, he fell into contemplation.

It seems like it's been a long time since I've had a winter like this, those years of college. I've never seen snow in Nandu, and now I'm back in the north, and this is the first winter I've experienced. Curled up in his warm room, with the soft fluorescent lamp on, listening to music, sipping steaming tea, reading his favorite book, and watching the wind, frost, rain and snow gliding outside the window. If he can do it year after year, Zhang Tianyuan really wants to live in his castle like this. Quietly watch the years. Like water flows.

This kind of comfortable life is indeed desirable, but it's a pity that Zhang Tianyuan knows that he can't do it. There's more to do.

It's time for the next day. The snow has already turned the entire courtyard into a blanket of snow. The entire courtyard is as if it has been transformed into a hermitage. All the walls and bricks are covered in silver robes, and the flowers, trees, pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard are also silver and white, and the whole thing is like a fairy tale world.

Zhang Tianyuan simply didn't leave the house. The weather was too cold, so he instructed Liu's mother to bring the food to the house to eat.

Two days later, the snow stopped, and Zhang Tianyuan stepped out of the door in the morning, looking at the world covered in silver, and he really felt refreshed.

The snow in the yard was so thick that stepping on it had reached the ankle level, and in the thick place, even the calves were almost submerged. Brother Meng, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu are shoveling snow in the yard, such a thick snow, it is definitely not possible to sweep it, it must be shoveled, otherwise, once it freezes, it will be unsafe for people to walk.

Seeing a bird flying over the tree, Zhang Tianyuan inevitably remembered the Baili Night Cry, the last time Nie Qinglan left the imperial capital, he took the Baili Night Cry with him, and he didn't see him for a while, and he really missed the little guy a little, I don't know how the little guy is now.

Such a good snow scene, it would be nice if someone came to enjoy it together, snowball fights, building snowmen, are good entertainment, the more this time, the more he misses Liu Mengxun in Hong Kong, probably Liu Mengxun can't see such a snow scene.

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the snow scene, and then sent it to Liu Mengxun who was far away in Hong Kong.

"It's beautiful, I hope I can spend this winter with you every year in the future!"

"Christmas is coming, I bought you a gift, be sure to receive it. ”

Seeing Liu Mengxun's message under the photo, Zhang Tianyuan suddenly remembered that he was not used to Christmas, but Liu Mengxun was a treasure island native, and he had worked and lived in Hong Kong for a long time, so he should attach great importance to Christmas.

So, Zhang Tianyuan ran out in a hurry, bought a Christmas gift and sent it to Liu Mengxun, this gift is not expensive, but there are love poems written by him, which can be regarded as a unique place in this materialistic world.

After An Ansheng enjoyed a comfortable single life for a few days, Zhang Tianyuan had to be busy again, because there will be two weddings waiting for him next, one is the wedding of Nie Zhen and Ye Yulan, he was invited to become the best man, this is the result of Nie Zhen and Ye Yulan's discussion, although the people who lined up to be their best men, but Zhang Tianyuan was the only one who won this honor.

Zhang Tianyuan has never done such a thing, it is the first time to be a best man for someone, although he used to have a lot of friends when he went to school, but at that time, no one held a wedding, so when it came to being a best man, he was afraid that the eldest girl would go to the sedan chair, and he was afraid in his heart.

As a best man, the stage of makeup must be indispensable, but Zhang Tianyuan naturally hates any cosmetics, and even doesn't like the smell of perfume very much, unless it is a light fragrance, you must know that he never smears anything on his face and body on weekdays, relying on the transformation of the earth, his body is better than anyone else.

But this makeup artist had to give him a little white face, just applying a lot of powder on his face, obviously healthy complexion, and finally became like a zombie, white and gray, and his hair was shiny, and he didn't know what the hell was going on.

However, for the sake of his good brother Nie Zhen, Zhang Tianyuan endured it, fortunately, Xu Gang's wedding was to be held in the countryside, and it was a traditional Chinese wedding, so there was no such thing as a zài best man, Zhang Tianyuan was also relieved, so just endure it once.

The wedding was held in the Fangfei Hall of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, and it was not as luxurious as Zhang Tianyuan imagined, which was probably because the country recently advocated frugality and did not allow guests to be feasted, so this wedding was not only not luxurious, but also present. Those are all on a very good relationship with Old Man Nie, as well as relatives of the Nie family, as for those who want to take this opportunity to give gifts, they will be exempted, because they can't get in, Old Man Nie doesn't want to be ruined when he gets old, not to mention that as one of the leaders of the country, he also has to take the lead in frugality.

After Zhang Tianyuan graduated, he worked as a waiter in a hotel for a few days, and he also met a wedding for the children of high-ranking officials, of course. The so-called high-ranking officials can't be compared with the Nie family. But the extravagant Cheng dù was much bigger than Nie Zhen's wedding this time.

Zhang Tianyuan had just graduated from college that year, and because of his poor employment form, it was difficult for him to find a job in his major. There is no way to work as a waiter in a five-star hotel in Nandu. At that time, the monthly salary was only 2000. Although the salary is low. And it's very hard to stand from morning to night every day. But thinking about it, it is better than the old hometown father with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky.

And at that time, Zhang Tianyuan still had hope in his heart, if I cut back on food and clothing, I could set aside 1,500 yuan a month. In this way, I have a sum of savings in a year, and after a year, I will use this money to take a certificate, and it is estimated that I will be able to become a foreman or lobby manager in a few years, and my monthly salary is estimated to be quadruple or tripled.

For this goal, Zhang Tianyuan is really frugal enough, living in a four-person dormitory for 100 yuan a month, eating instant noodles, commuting to and from work on a bus that squeezes people to death, living a down-to-earth life, and thinking that if you work hard, you can live a meaningful life.

However, on the third day after he worked, a wedding held in the hotel completely made him feel a bitter taste, and at that time he even had a kind of misanthropy.

This person got married, didn't look at the food at all when he ordered, didn't ask the price, said that he would do it according to the highest standards, paid the deposit and left. This table of banquets is enough for me to cut down on food and clothing for two years, and the most terrible thing is that there are 36 tables for one invitation. Not only that, but also chartered the entire first and second floors of our hotel, plus six VIP rooms, so that the hotel reserved at least 50 parking spaces on the day, especially the rewards and gifts were actually with ultra-high-end beer, I was shocked!

Later, I learned that the family was the son of a high-ranking official to get married, and his parents came from afar to invite friends in the circle, and this family is from the imperial capital, and it is said that after returning to the imperial capital, a bigger wedding will be held than this. The cost of this wedding is Zhang Tianyuan, and I am afraid that these waiters will not be able to earn it in a few lifetimes.

At that time, when I was young, I would inevitably complain, and at night I would get into the bed and shout: "What is the point of me working so hard and painstakingly to manage my so-called beautiful tomorrow? This world is really unfair!"

There is a Le Cordon Bleu 1844 on every table of this wedding, and there are dozens of tables in total, and one bottle per table is definitely not enough, and new ones must be added during the meal.

Zhang Tianyuan finally witnessed the Ninety-Five Supreme at that time, so famous cigarettes are unfortunately not sold in the southern capital and the imperial capital, I heard my colleagues say that it is almost 2,000 yuan a piece now, and the guest brought two boxes by himself, even if he didn't smoke, he knew that the people around him were smoking cigarettes for five yuan at that time.

There is also a gift box for the guests attending the wedding, this gift box has two bottles of Cordon Bleu 1844, hundreds of people, one gift box per person, how much it costs to calculate by yourself, Zhang Tianyuan didn't dare to think about it at that time, this person is really angry than people. And at that time, when the guest said that he was preparing this gift box, the hotel was kind enough to say that it was better to find the manufacturer directly for such a large amount, which would be much cheaper, and they directly said "forget it, save the trouble".

No way, there is money, it is so capricious.

The hotel manager hurried to transfer the goods, which hotel do you think will save so much high-end wine.

Working in a five-star hotel, although I have also met a lot of rich people, but in terms of Zhang Tianyuan's feelings, they are all quite reliable, at most, they live in a presidential suite at a young age or something. Such a luxurious wedding like this high-ranking official is like not asking for money, which makes Zhang Tianyuan really have a feeling of being evil and daring, and wants to rob this family, but fortunately he didn't do that at the time, otherwise, there would not be today's happy days.

At that time, the wedding ceremony was held on the second floor, and the first floor was a place for ordinary guests to rest and chat, and there would be a lot of pastries and tea around, and the colored silk was tied all the way from the first floor to the second floor, and the lanterns were hung with lanterns.

One of the six VIP rooms, the first floor and the first floor are for resting, who this is for, the waiter doesn't know, but it's certainly not an ordinary person.

The table is full of foreign beers, and the beer alone is this pomp! Take a closer look, it's shocking, led by Le Cordon Bleu 1844, which was the highest grade beer in the five-star hotel at that time, and the market price seems to be close to 401 bottles, and as you all know, the price of wine in the hotel must be much more expensive than outside.
