Invest 80,000 yuan in shares? Is this the so-called one person attaining the Tao and the chicken and dog ascending to heaven?

Li Shuye is not greedy for money, so such a good thing as pie in the sky seems to be a little far away for him, and he can't even dream of it.

If someone else were to say this to him, he would definitely have to worry about whether he was designed to trick people, but no matter how he looks at it, this brother-in-law is the kind of person who is more reliable.

Unreliable, can you get to this point?

"Brother-in-law, I think there are two choices." Zhou Changfeng compared a scissor hand and said: "First, if you simply invest and put up a name, we don't care; The second is that you resign from your current company and transfer to this Hengguang company. ”

Hearing this, Li Shuye replied with some hesitation: "Brother Lao has been promoted, but it's not good to make a decision in a hurry now, I'm afraid I have to discuss it with Roujia." ”

The scale of the food company he works for is not small, and he can mix from an ordinary employee to the middle management in seven years not only because of his popularity and good reputation, but also because of his own ability.

It is important to know that the average cost of living in Shanghai is 30% higher than that of Wuhan, and in some places it is even higher than that of Jingshi Yingtianfu, which is enough to discourage many people.

Do you want to give up all these years of network accumulation and go to the unknown economic capital?

One wins in stability, and the other wins in the future, and the future prospects are better, and it is really difficult to choose between them.

Zhou Changfeng didn't care, anyway, the basic needs were just to find a trustworthy person to hang on, and the extra suggestion that Li Shuye take advantage of the situation to work in Hengguang Company was just to seek better prospects, and the original intention was also to make Zhou Roujia's family live a better life.

There are only seven days left before the wedding date is finalized, and these hours are used to decorate the wedding room, and at the same time reconfirm whether there is any negligence in contacting the restaurant and planning the honor guard.

In the daily life of later generations, the misuse of bright red often gave people a sense of vulgarity and even ridicule, but today's Ming people don't care about this at all.

As far as weddings are concerned, according to the rules set hundreds of years ago, the weddings of the Ming Dynasty can be called dignified and unique among the dynasties, and the color of the dress of men and women changed from "male red and female green" in the Tang and Song dynasties to "male green and female red".

Men marry wives also known as "small Dengke", even the groom of ordinary people's families can wear a blue nine-grade official robe on this day, this so-called "big gift can be victorious", that is, important etiquette can legally transgress the hierarchy.

The clothes worn by the bride are generally the matching of the phoenix crown and the xiaxia veil, and the main color is auspicious and festive red.

So what to wear to your wedding afterward? The so-called sea is inclusive, and today's Ming Dynasty can see all kinds of wedding dresses, ancient champion clothes or official uniforms, modern official uniforms or military uniforms, if you want to experience exotic customs, the combination of wedding dresses and suits is not impossible to find.

Zhou Changfeng had long consulted Xia Xiaoshi, who preferred the ancient phoenix crown and xia veil to the more popular modern version.

This aspect must be according to her ideas, as for herself......

If you are low-key, choose a plain official robe, and if you are high-profile, choose a majestic and solemn dress.

Zhou Changfeng himself is not good at face, in his opinion, this is to a large extent to satisfy vanity, belongs to moving himself, and his experience in later generations of weddings is that in fact, most of the guests are purely going to the banquet.

Whether the bride is beautiful or not, whether the groom is handsome or not, can't compare to whether the meal in front of him is good or not, and no one cares how seriously the newlyweds put on makeup and how particular they dress.

Having said that, after all, it is a major event in life, and it is not good to attract gossip, and at the same time, Xia Xiaoshi's feelings must be taken into account, so the pomp and circumstance of the wedding naturally have to be bigger.

Before New Year's Day, he had already drawn up arrangements to welcome his relatives, and was consulting Xu Zhanwei, Yang Zhen and other seniors.

Xu Zhanwei's words directly woke him up - you kid, this is the first time in thirty years that a wedding has been held in the auditorium of the Advisory Yuan, and the rest of the process must be on par with it.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be quite anticlimactic?

Zhou Changfeng, who felt that it was reasonable, changed the arrangement of welcoming relatives again, and then submitted an application to the garrison command and envoy.

If it's high-profile, it's high-profile, anyway, he is a little famous today, so what's there to be restrained.

As the days passed, the closer we got to that day, the slower time seemed to be.

Zhou Changfeng asked for a five-day holiday, but given that it was the Spring Festival after that, it was actually equivalent to advancing the Spring Festival holiday by five days.

January 28, just two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, is the official wedding day of the couple.

Last night, he couldn't sleep because of anxiety, and Zhou Changfeng couldn't fall asleep until midnight, but he was woken up by Zhou Roujia's shouting early this morning.

"The woman's family is here, get up quickly!"

Zhou Changfeng, who woke up suddenly, only felt dizzy and painful in his head, and tried his best to glance at the watch next to his pillow, and found that it was only half past five in the morning.

In the winter, the sky is still dark, come so early?

Winter days in the south are not necessarily warmer than in the north, and it would be an exaggeration to say that it takes no less courage to emerge from the warm bed and face the cold than to brave the fire of artillery to leave the shelter.

Zhou Changfeng, who was facing the sky on his back, took a deep breath of cold air, then sat up in one breath, and quickly dressed.

"Welcome, welcome, please, tea first."

"Where's the wedding room?"

The woman's family sent someone to carry out a small ceremony on the wedding day - to make the bed for the wedding room, they would carefully arrange the specially vacated wedding room, and they brought the three-piece set on the bed.

Customs vary from place to place, and some places may send people many days in advance, or they may not have this at all.

The people in the woman's family must be relatives such as Xia Xiaoshi's seven aunts and eight aunts, who were bustling and chattering at the moment, and walked into the main hall with bright red sheets, pillowcases, and quilt covers embroidered with lace.

The main house of this small courtyard house is double-storey, and the master bedroom, which serves as a wedding room, is located on the second floor, facing southeast.

It is capable to say that it sounds good, and it is sloppy to say that it is unpleasant, and Zhou Changfeng's breakfast on weekdays is often steamed buns, steamed buns, gruel, and fritters, and Zhou Roujia's arrival suddenly raised his living standard these days to a higher level.

Looking at his sister who was busy, Zhou Changfeng couldn't help but speak: "It's really troublesome, it's such a cold day, I get up early in the morning to get busy." ”

The former glared back at him, "Weird, now you feel distressed?" Why didn't you think so about it when you went to the house to uncover the tiles in the past? ”

Zhou Changfeng was embarrassed and couldn't answer.

Next, I had to go to the woman's house to greet the relatives, but because the wedding was planned to be held in the afternoon, I had to wait patiently.

The morning and noon of the day seemed longer than any other day.

At two o'clock, after changing into the 25-style winter dress, he hung up his saber at his waist, straightened his hat in front of the mirror, and pushed the door out.

If it was in ancient times, or in some economically less developed areas of the Ming Dynasty today, the man would rarely go to greet his relatives in person, and the matchmaker would do it for him.

On the other hand, if you go in person, it is a sign of extra respect. Usually only the woman is from a privileged family for the man to do so.

However, this rule will not work, at least in the Ming capital for now. When encountering a harder father-in-law, if the son-in-law dares not to come to greet him, he will withdraw from the marriage on the spot.

The well-dressed Zhou Changfeng was more energetic than ever, and just crossed the threshold, only to find that people in red clothes were already standing outside his small house.

There is a small red drum hanging in front of him, a suona in one hand, and a gong in both hands......

Like later generations, there have been such professional contracting teams for red and white ceremonies throughout the ages, and after paying the money, make an appointment with a time, note whether there are any additional requirements, and then it is a one-stop service.

A little farther away, nine white sedans lined up with large red flowers on the hood, door handles, trunk and more.

After Zhou Changfeng sat in the main wedding car in the middle, the convoy started and slowly drove out of Anpin Street like a long snake.

However, just as the convoy turned into Pishi Avenue, the driver of the lead car was shocked by the scene that caught his eye, and subconsciously braked to slow down.

I saw a long line of off-road vehicles and sidecar motorcycles, at least ten of them, parked beside the wide road, and next to them were officers and men of the 1st Marine Regiment dressed in winter uniforms.

Xie Wancheng, Yao Liangchuan and others were all waiting here, smoking cigarettes and talking about something at the moment, and when they saw the arrival of the convoy, they waved one after another.

The convoy of relatives stopped, Zhou Changfeng rolled down the window, and several of them stepped forward, clasped their fists and said with a smile: "The department is ordered to escort the whole process, when will it act?" ”

"Now."

"Order, front and rear guards, ready to go!"

As Chinese New Year's Eve approached, the army naturally had to take a holiday, but there were still a considerable number of officers and soldiers remaining at the station, so the 1st Marine Regiment dispatched more than 100 officers and men to form an escort detachment to support the scene.

"The three wheels are leading, the two cars are following, and the rest are trailing!"

"Order!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the momentum was like a rainbow, causing passers-by around to be stunned.

Two sidecar motorcycles were driven in the front as the lead car, followed by two off-road vehicles, the nine sedans of the welcoming convoy were sandwiched in the middle, and finally the six off-road vehicles were pressed into the formation.

Such a large-scale convoy can be said to be very rare, stretching for 200 meters in front and back, attracting the attention of citizens along the way.

The capital was originally strictly controlled, not to mention that it has not been long before the turmoil at the end of last year, so it stands to reason that it is indeed inappropriate to make such a big battle at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Zhou Changfeng also felt that it was likely to be rejected at first, but Xu Zhanwei asked him to try boldly, and after a long wait, the application finally succeeded in getting the approval of the garrison commander, and this is the scene in front of him.

At the same time, the Xia family.

The Spring Festival is approaching and the New Year is approaching, and the major official offices of the imperial court have closed their doors one after another.

Xia Bing and Gao Linglu are preparing for marriage with several relatives. It is only now that the former, as a father, has instructed his daughter a few of the most important words.

"Now that the four people are equal, and they do not preach the inferiority of men and women, you juniors disdain the words of the "Female Commandment" and "Internal Training", which is a good thing."

"But correspondingly, you must change your concept, it is not easy to be a wife, and if you don't want to live a confused life, you have to take care of the family's trivial affairs."

"When socializing with other people's wives, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not get carried away. Remember, you're here to live, not to be happy. ”

Xia Xiaoshi, whose eyes were fluttering, said "um" for a moment, and whispered, "I remember." ”

Outside the house, many people are gathering around to watch the excitement, it is human nature to watch the excitement, and the neighbors near Xia's house are the same.

After all, it is a marriage of an official's family, and it should be very lively in theory, especially the Xia family's precious daughter, who is naturally as much as she can spoil.

However, the Xia family's situation at the moment disappointed the neighbors, except for some relatives, there were few supporters, only a few friends.

So some of the people with broken mouths began to mumble.

"Who was that the year before last... Lin Tong of Shangyuan County sentenced to marry a daughter, and there were people inside and outside the house. ”

"The popularity is good, and if you don't drill the camp for officials, you will be isolated, and it is almost impossible to be promoted like this."

"Also, this is an excellent position in the matter, but it's a pity that ......"

"As long as you talk a lot, people are happy and free, and what are you meddling in."

"Heh, then if your son is freewheeling, are you willing?"

In public opinion, if you don't want to try to climb up but are content with the status quo, you will be despised.

Although the neighbors usually show respect for Xia Bing, the gossip behind it is indispensable. In their mouths, given such a good official position, as long as they work hard, they have a very good future, and they are expected to become members of the imperial court, but they are wasted.

And in the room in the courtyard, Xia Xiaoshi, who was finally dressed neatly, was putting on makeup with the help of her friends.

"This makeup is too thick, do you want to continue?"

"On the big day, heavy makeup is heavy makeup, the more beautiful the better."

"What time is it, will it be too late?"

"There's no hurry, it's right away, at most a cup of tea."

This kind of thing who believes and who loses, especially when it comes out of a woman's mouth, such as... Immediately, soon, out of the door.

Time passed minute by minute, and three o'clock was supposed to be the time when the convoy arrived, but it was completely nowhere to be seen.

People were in a hurry all of a sudden.

Now there are no portable phones, so if you want to get in touch, you have to send someone to find it, and then someone set off on a bicycle.

The convoy was late, a quarter of an hour late in the eyes of the people who were waiting for it.

But the momentum contained in the mighty procession instantly dispelled everyone's dissatisfaction with being late - it stretched for nearly half a mile before and after, and such a large array of welcoming relatives was really unheard of.

This kind of pomp and circumstance is enough to discourage ordinary people, and some people who plan to block the way and ask for money quickly dispel their thoughts when they see this.

The gongs and drums were noisy, and the sharp sound of the suona was even more deafening, and the atmosphere created by these instruments instantly spread to every inch of the Xia family.

"I'm so sorry Taishan, there was a wedding car with an abnormal engine, and it turned off twice in a row, and then it went straight to the nest." Zhou Changfeng, whose face was full of helplessness, arched his hand.

Xia Bing waved his hand, pointed behind him and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you arrive on time, you will have to wait for her to put on makeup." ”

Both burst out laughing.

This is an update to make up for yesterday, and there will be a change in the evening.
