Chapter 324: Ceremony
As soon as it came to making money, Chen Wenhui put away her jokes and said to her eldest brother: "Originally, I wanted to choose a good day to open a store and be auspicious." However, I heard the Tang shop owner of Jinming shop say before, these days because of the day after tomorrow ceremony, there are many more people in the Black Iron City, it is a good opportunity to make money, if we want to make our Central Plains specialties in the Black Iron City to make a reputation, I think it is better to start selling things first, it is a trial operation, and after the ceremony, our Chen family is famous on Yizhou Island, and then invite people from all walks of life to attend the opening ceremony of our firm, so that it will not delay making money, and begin to gain popularity, and you can choose a good day, and it will be auspicious, without delay, Luckily? ”
This idea was strongly praised by Chen Wenjun and Wan Meizhen, Chen Wenjun left Wan Meizhen and Chen Wenhui to arrange the shop, and he took advantage of this time to go to say hello to Ding Chuan City Lord, after all, he hadn't greeted Ding Chuan when he arrived this time. The two of them discussed the ceremony procedures of the ceremony in detail, and Ding Chuan also gave Chen Wenjun a list of attendees, so that Chen Wenjun could first familiarize himself with the names of the various forces, and invited their family to attend the banquet held in the City Lord's Mansion in the evening.
By the time Chen Wenjun returned to his house after finishing these, it was already dark, Chen Wenjun hurriedly went back to change his clothes, only to find that his wife and sister had already changed their clothes and dressed up.
Although it is winter at the moment, it is not cold at all on Yizhou Island, a bit like spring in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Wan Meizhen and Chen Wenhui are both wearing beautiful spring clothes, Wan Meizhen is wearing gorgeous and noble purple clothes, and Wen Hui is wearing bright cherry red, both with green skirts, which look very beautiful. In particular, both of them were wearing gorgeous shawls and dragged all the way to the ground, looking very luxurious. Chen Wenjun couldn't help but nodded, his family members are all masters in this regard. Probably thanks to the training of his mother. What is rare is that Wan Meizhen, who was born in a businessman, is also a master, and she does not have the cheesiness of a businessman at all, but looks as noble and generous as being born in the prince's family. It's still my mother's vision.
It was not early, and Chen Wenjun hurriedly took his wife and sister to the city lord's mansion in a carriage. This dinner was held in the garden of the Lord's Mansion. Because there are a lot of people, so, there are banquets in many places, some of us are in the pavilion, some are in the attic, and some are simply under the flower trees, and there are some elegant artistic conceptions in the noise.
Chen Wenhui was also not clean at this dinner, and she was still looking at the natives in traditional clothes with great interest, but she was entangled by a group of black family members and began to ask questions again. Answers, questions, answers. I was not idle at all, and I didn't even eat a few bites of food.
I took a look at my brother and sister-in-law in my busy schedule, and I was immediately envious. I saw these two people dressed luxuriously. The appearance is generous and elegant, and the appearance is so handsome and beautiful, among the natives, it seems to stand out from the crowd, even those arrogant black family members are amazed.
Chen Wenjun usually looks a little boring, but as soon as he enters this kind of occasion, the demeanor of the son of a family who has been deeply rooted in his bones since he was a child is revealed. He and everyone smiled. polite, kind and noble, making people look up to him and want to get close to him at the same time.
Originally, these natives were all honest after hundreds of years by the black family, but I really can't figure out what kind of person can make the arrogant black family think the master? Those big families, such as the Gu family and the Huang family. The Liang family, although it is one of the four major families on Yizhou Island alongside the Hei family, is only an external statement, the Hei family has never been alongside them, and they have always lived under the control of the Hei family. Annually. When the Hei family was in a good mood, they bought more of their specialties and sold more of the various farm tools, clothing, porcelain, tea and other daily necessities they urgently needed. Even the carriage had to be built by the black family. If the black family is unhappy, sorry, your family's food, salt, and sugar are all bad at home, and people don't care about it, and they don't sell anything to you, then these three families are about to be in a big disaster, so they have to obediently run to Black Iron City to ask for guilt.
Of course, the city lords of the past dynasties married women from the three major families, and the hall masters of each hall and the disciples of each hall also married women from the three major families and men from the three major families. But the Hei family still controlled and oppressed them in the same way, and after a long time, the three major families, like those indigenous leaders, were accustomed to obeying the Hei family, and were used to taking the Hei family as the head and looking at the face of the Hei family.
Now the Hei family is actually like the Chen family, an outsider, bowing their heads and acknowledging the lord, this is really a bolt from the blue, these patriarchs and leaders of Lei are numb all over their bodies.
Now seeing the best couple of the Chen family, the young Xinguang City Lord and his wife, they suddenly found that if the Hei family is arrogant, Chen Wenjun and his wife are noble. This noble air soon made everyone who attended the dinner party praise and envy.
Chen Wenhui is also proud of having such an excellent brother and sister-in-law, of course, it would be nice if these fly-like black family members around her could be far away. But when he thought of the house, restaurant, shop, and exquisite decorations that the black family gave to his family, he pressed the impatience in his heart and explained it seriously. After all, eating other people's mouths is short, and taking other people's hands is soft.
really patiently explained the knowledge to the black family, Chen Wenhui had to admit that the black family's yearning for knowledge is still very commendable. It's all a bunch of Frankenstein.
The dinner didn't end until late, and the guests and hosts were very happy.
The next day, Chen Wenhui's brothers and sisters and Wan Meizhen did not go out, because the ceremony was about to be held, and they had to bathe and change their clothes according to the regulations. That's how respectful it looks.
Finally, the day of the ceremony has arrived. Chen Wenhui was picked up early in the morning, dressed up, brought heavy jewelry of red gold, put on a big dress, and spent heavy makeup. But Chen Wenhui really couldn't look at this makeup, so she asked Qiu Bi to wash it off for her, and then she spent a beautiful heavy makeup herself, although it was all heavy makeup, but the one painted by the Hei family before was like a dancing god, and the beautiful and generous and luxurious flower she spent, the Hei family agreed to such a change at a glance. Chen Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she went to her brother and sister-in-law's place again, and found that her brother and sister-in-law had successfully transformed into Lei Gongdian Mother under the influence of the black family, Chen Wenhui instructed the maids to fetch water to wash off the heavy makeup on her brother and sister-in-law's face, and then personally gave them a beautiful heavy makeup.
At this moment, Wan Meizhen's vision of Wen Hui was different, full of eagerness. Chen Wenhui didn't pay attention, and continued to be busy with other things, who knew that today, she showed this stunt and found her a lot of work to do. Since then, Wan Meizhen has often pestered Chen Wenhui to ask for advice on various makeup methods. and the people of the Heijia Meixiutang didn't pestering Chen Wenhui originally, but only pestering Chen Wenhui's maidservant, and since then they have also begun to pester Chen Wenhui to study makeup skills.
Chen Wenhui regretted it countless times, if she couldn't bear it, she would make a big plan, if she endured it, she would use the thunderous makeup painted by the black family to see people, and there would be no such thing.
This is a later story, at this moment, Chen Wenhui is almost annoyed to death, because the ceremony table is too long.
All kinds of red tape have made Chen Wenhui go from irritability to numbness, and then from numbness to irritability, but before the end, Chen Wenhui peeked at it, her brother was still straight, and her sister-in-law was still well-mannered, and she had no mirror to look at herself, but she must be like ashes. It's really more popular than people.
Out of boredom, Chen Wenhui began to secretly study the costumes of the black family members standing next to her. It's really beautiful at first glance. The black family is worthy of being a black family, and the clothes they wear are all black, but they are all inlaid with a wide border, some are white, some are red, and some are gold.
The young disciples here were all in black robes with white trim. The rank of the deputy hall master is inlaid with gold edges, and the most honorable ones are inlaid with red edges. There are a lot of people at the level of the deputy hall master, not only the few deputy hall masters I have seen, but I think it should be someone who has a position in the black family. In addition to the different colors of the sides of the robe, there were threads of the same color on the sleeves of their robes, some one, some two, and some three. For example, the city lord Ding Chuan is a black robe with red trim and three red lines at the cuffs. I think this is the highest level. As for the heads of the halls, they were all in black robes with red trim and two lines at the cuffs.
Chen Wenhui thought to herself, this is a good way, so that you can see your personal level and identity at a glance. It's a pity that these black family members usually don't like to wear this formal dress that is only worn at the ceremony, so it would be more convenient for outsiders to understand the black family.
In fact, this is the same as the effect of the epaulettes of the army in Chen Wenhui's previous life, it is really a good idea, and it can also inspire people to move upward. In fact, there are more and more people in the Chen family system now, and most of them have taken off their slave status, such as Ziyu and Feiguang, how to lead these people, it is really a problem, whether to get this uniform to wear, so that these people can have a greater sense of belonging and the family will be more cohesive. I'm going to find a chance to talk to my brother about this. Actually, I should talk with my father, mother, and brother, but unfortunately, I can't go back to Qingyang City for the New Year this year. Because it's too far away from the sea. Thinking of this and looking at the eldest brother standing together on the stage, Chen Wenhui suddenly missed her parents very much.
At this time, it was finally the last part, first the city lord of Ding Chuan said something, probably the Chen family brought the Hei family knowledge beyond the predecessors, it was a huge wealth, therefore, the Hei family decided to serve the Chen family as the lord and swore allegiance for fifty years. In addition, there are some words of encouragement, which boil the feelings of the children of the black family of the crows below.
Then Chen Wenjun gave a speech, Chen Wenjun said that he would definitely respect the children of the Hei family and lead the children of the Hei family to glory. I have to say that Chen Wenjun is still very leader-like, and when he said this, the black family applauded thunderously, and it seems that there are many people who agree with him. Then the black family swore allegiance, Chen Wenhui was overjoyed, haha, it was finally time to end this devastating ceremony.
