Chapter 2 Finger Belly for Marriage
Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, also known as Jinling in ancient times, headed by the Purple Mountain with a height of 448 meters in the eastern suburbs, extends to Fugui Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, Arctic Pavilion, Gulougang, Wutai Mountain in the west, to the Stone Mountain, winds all the way up and down, wedges into the city. Stone Mountain still stands on the shore of the Yangtze River more than 1,000 years ago, and Sun Quan built a stone city on the mountain in the Three Kingdoms era, which is an ancient river defense fortress. Legend has it that when Zhuge Liang went to Eastern Wu on the eve of the Battle of Chibi, he observed the situation of the mountains and rivers here side by side with Sun Quan, and exclaimed: "Zhongshan Longpan, Shicheng Tiger Standing, is really the emperor's house." Therefore, Nanjing has always been known in history as "the dragon and the tiger". It is a place of outstanding land and beautiful scenery, and now it is one of the important cities in the Yangtze River Delta economic development circle.
Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, under the Purple Mountain, next to the Dongjiao Hotel, a private courtyard covering a large area is built around the mountain, looking at it from afar, the building is a retro atmosphere, the material is more wood, stone, bamboo, the eaves are far-reaching, all water, stone, bamboo color, simple and generous, the house goes along the stream, the courtyard of the corridor is extended, and the ancient road of green ridge and phoenix stone embedded with wild grass, the stone bridge of various types, the dam is full of dams, so that the environment of the few people and craftsmen's traces and the beautiful natural scenery of the mountains and forests are integrated, and the dust is out of the world.
But looking ahead, the open space separated by a natural stream is full of the most modern housing facilities, and the open area in front is a medium-sized private golf course, and next to it is a luxury villa, surrounded by swimming pools, green lawns, parking garages, and flower beds......
At this time, on the side of the retro building, in an elegant pavilion, there was laughter, and a group of people were sitting in it, drinking tea and gossiping.
In the middle sat three elderly people, next to them sat two couples and two young boys, two of whom were pregnant and looked to be close to giving birth.
I only heard an old man in a suit in the middle laugh heartily: "Brother, you are really a blessed land here!" Not only is the surrounding scenery elegant and beautiful, but it is also rare to be able to perfectly integrate the building into this natural beauty, which can be said to be natural and unique, every time I come, every time I feel different! β
"Hehe, where, where, Brother Qin, your Songhe Villa is not much worse than Brother Zijinyuan, in terms of architecture and construction, we all started in this business, if it is said that we can't even do it in our own nest, then we don't mix, haha......" The answer was an old man in simple clothes and strong spirits.
"Big brother, Brother Qin, don't you two get together and talk about this building or something, aren't you going to get engaged to our little nephew today? When this is done, you two can talk as much as you like, and I can make an appointment with a group of chess friends! The last one to speak, although he was about fifty years old, still had a delicate appearance, and from the point of view of his face, he vaguely resembled the old man in simple clothes.
The old man in simple clothes obviously couldn't do anything about him, but said with a smile: "Brother Qin smiled, my third brother is just a quick temper, he is so old, and he still hasn't learned any cultivation skills, don't be surprised." β
When the old man in the suit heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How come?" Brother Fang Lin is straightforward and fast-talking, he is really a person in love, hehe, we are still from Cambodia, hurry up and give this family business. β
The old man in simple clothes immediately continued: "Okay, okay, you and I have been friends for many years, this time it is kissing and kissing, after settling down, in the evening in the Zijin VIP Building, I have already prepared a banquet, and I have also invited guests to congratulate you and me on the happy event." This is a pair of Tianjing jade bracelets of our Chu family, and the right should be a personal token. β
While the old man in the suit took the jade bracelet, he also hurriedly took out a crystal clear white dragon jade pendant and handed it over, and said at the same time: "This is our Qin family's dragon jade pendant, and it is perfect to leave it to my unborn grandson-in-law." β
The two old men who received the tokens from each other both smiled, and they were still the brightest and happiest smiles, but the wrinkles brought by this smile and the look in their slightly squinted eyes were a little bit of cunning and calculating......
β¦β¦
The 'engagement' banquet was very lively and successful, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After the end of Qusan, in a chic small building in the Zijin Garden of the Chu family, one of the couples in the original pavilion sat on a quaint long rattan chair, the man was drinking tea, and the woman was eating fruit, supplementing the nutrition for the little life in the stomach.
"Yixue, Dad just gave our unborn junior life events like this, you have no opinion, in fact, ......"
"Thunder, needless to say, I know, from the day I married into your family, I knew what should not be done, what must be done, used to be a deep as the sea when I entered the Hou Gate, but now I am as deep as the sea when I enter the wealthy family, while being prosperous and rich, I feel more constraints and helplessness!"
"Yixue, I, I know that I have suffered you in the past few years, giving birth to children, and wronging you, a talented girl from Peking University back then......"
"Minglei, don't say this, you know, I never regret marrying you, and looking at Tiancheng, Tianfeng is so cute, growing up day by day, I don't think it's a burden, on the contrary, I think this is a woman's greatest happiness......" After speaking, he caressed the baby in his womb with a touch and a look of pity.
"Yixue ......" Chu Minglei hugged his wife lightly, silently conveying his love and pity.
Long......
Chu Minglei picked up his wife and asked as if he remembered something: "Yixue, you said that your father wants to cooperate with the Qin family, even if you are engaged, you don't need to give us the third child who was not born, which one can't be Tiancheng or Tianfeng?" β
Yi Xue glanced at her husband, and said angrily: "Minglei, you are too decent to be a person and do things." β
Chu Minglei was puzzled by what his wife said, looking at her husband's expression, Yixue couldn't help but laugh: "You! It's just an elm head, hee-hee, but what...... What I like is you, not your identity as the eldest young master of the Chu family......"
Chu Minglei obviously had no way to take his wife, so he had to smile and not answer, making a gesture of continuing to listen.
Sure enough, after Yixue joked, she continued: "Although our Chu family looks infinitely beautiful on the surface, although it cannot be said that there are many holes behind the big business, there are also many loopholes, my father's generation, three brothers, the second uncle is just fighting with us for power and profit, and the internal friction continues, and the third uncle likes acrobatics, and his ambition is not in business, and now only my father is struggling to support it, in order to revive the Chu family, He secretly invested most of the funds into the sixth-generation information super sensory simulation technology and several large urban construction land jointly developed by the subsidiary Thunder Technology and Thunderbolt Technology, so this time in the face of several transit real estate predators, our Chu family really can't spare a hand to deal with it, just the Qin family that dominates Zhejiang, that is, Fudu Industry, they have abundant funds, but they suffer from no market and investment opportunities, so this helpless 'marriage', that is, the shopping mall to take what they need. β
"I know all this, in fact, this is a tacit business agreement, but why bother to engage in any clichΓ©d things for marriage, innocently involving two unborn children in?"
"So you're an elm head! First, this is to make a close posture between the Chu and Qin families, the so-called military strategy, the soldiers who surrender without a fight, and fight hard in business wars, even if we win, it is estimated that we will be greatly damaged, so it is better to use the marriage of our two families to show our position and determination, first of all, in terms of momentum, it is better to outperform the other party, with the foundation and market of our Chu family in the Yangtze River Delta, plus the Qin family's funds, anyone must consider whether there is a need for a war. This is the second, why do you give us the unborn junior engagement instead of Tiancheng and Tianfeng, this is Dad's cleverness, to be honest, solve the current crisis, not to mention whether the Chu and Han families can always cooperate, that is, for these two children, who can guarantee that after 20 years, what is their situation, if they can get together, it is the best, if they can't get along, it is better to have an air-to-air, what kind of fingertips for marriage, leave a way out for everyone to dissolve this marriage contract in the future, and find an excuse for the hasty decision of the two parties at that time, I don't think Old Man Qin has any objection to doing this, and he probably has the same idea......"
After hearing this, Chu Minglei let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized: "I see, I see!" Wife, you are really a female Zhuge in the middle, you are like a god, you deserve to be the first talented woman in the Department of Economics and Management of Peking University, admire, admire ......"
Hearing her husband's praise, Yixue was a little embarrassed and said, "I just said that you are an elm, but your mouth is like oil, and you are very ......poor."
"Hehe, if you don't be poor with your wife, who are you asking me to be poor with? Do you want to go outside......"
"You dare?"
"Oh...... Hehe......"
