There was a strange silence in the room.
Jiang He opened his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Qing. Zhou Suzhi was stunned for a while and reached out her hand to Xu Qing. Xu Qing wiped the red booklet on his body and passed it to her.
"…"
"…"
Zhou Suzhi looked at the photo of the two people in the booklet. She looked confused for a moment.
"Married?"
"Ah." Xu Qing replied, "We just need to get our marriage certificate first. The weather is good now. We can hold the banquet after we get married."
"That … you're right." Zhou Suzhi looked out of the window.
The weather is good …
What a good dog egg!
I've never heard of such a reason!
After a moment of silence, she looked at Jiang He. Jiang He's hands were intertwined together and his head was lowered, as though he was caught eloping.
"It seems … a little urgent?" Zhou Suzhi felt dizzy.
"Urgent? You were the one who urged me the last time. "
"I did urge you, but … shouldn't you prepare more?"
"Prepare what?" Xu Qing asked.
"Prepare … erm … that …"
Zhou Suzhi thought for a while and tilted her head. "Betrothal gift?"
"Betrothal gift?"
Xu Qing and Jiang He looked at each other.
"Do you want it?" Xu Qing asked.
"I … don't … think so?" Jiang He hesitated.
"Don't …?"
"Then … do you want?" She looked at Xu Qing's eyes and asked slowly. "How much do you want?"
"Erm … just anything. About three to five hundred thousand. How about a car?" Xu Qing was deep in thought.
Jiang He's eyes widened instantly. He suspected that he had overheard.
"You …" Zhou Suzhi could not breathe. "Isn't this a discussion?"
"Aren't we discussing it now?"
"…"
Zhou Suzhi was puzzled.
The script did not seem right. Was betrothal gift discussed in this way? Never heard of it! Wasn't it always the woman who wanted more, and the man tried his best to lower the price …
They were obviously talking about marriage. How did it become like this young couple was plotting for the old couple's property?
"Mom, she wants three to five hundred thousand." Xu Qing tilted his head.
"…" Zhou Suzhi took a deep breath. "Isn't this what you want?"
"No, it's a betrothal gift."
"I …"
Zhou Suzhi didn't think so. Only Xu Wenbin could control him.
…
Xu Wenbin was in the office. After sorting out a pile of documents, he took off his glasses and wiped them with a cloth.
Suddenly, he felt a wave of annoyance. He frowned and thought that it was nothing.
However …
Xu Wenbin's gaze shifted to the car keys on the table.
Why do I feel a little reluctant?
It seemed like the car was about to leave him …
…
"Didn't we agree to elope?"
Jiang He walked on the road with a notebook in his hand, still mumbling to himself.
"They eloped, but they found out."
"You did it on purpose."
"I didn't do it on purpose. You're my wife now, and there's nothing shameful."
Xu Qing walked on the road with his pockets in his hands. He felt the cold wind and turned around to help Jiang He put on the hood of his coat.
"We're legally husband and wife now," he said.
"We haven't had a wedding yet." Jiang He felt that this was a conspiracy. Xu Qing just wanted to have sex with her.
"We're legally husband and wife even if we haven't had a wedding. After receiving this little notebook, we're a couple. We have the obligations and responsibilities of a married couple …"
Jiang He glared at him angrily.
"Don't think about all that nonsense. It's not healthy for your little brain to think about all day. I'm talking about supporting each other, sharing the property, and handling it together. Hmm … Anyway, it doesn't include the one you're thinking about." Xu Qing said seriously.
"If you're not thinking about it, how do you know what I'm thinking about?!" Jiang He was furious. He stuffed the little red notebook into his pocket and raised his hand to fight with him.
The passersby on the street couldn't help but look at him. Were these two martial arts actors?
"I suspect that you made me learn Kung Fu so that I could defend myself when you hit me, so that you won't be too bored."
Xu Qing waved his hand and complained. When they arrived at the bus stop, the two stopped fighting and stood there waiting for the bus to come.
"I'm teaching you Kung Fu."
"Aren't you afraid of being exposed now?"
"Who would believe it?" Jiang He looked sideways at the street and pointed into the distance. "As long as I don't fly up to remove that surveillance camera, others will only think that you're delusional."
"To be honest, I think I'm delusional now. Could it be that you're not from the Tang Dynasty and made up a lie to deceive me? "
"Well, to be honest, I grew up with a homeless old lady. That old lady even knows the Three Emperor Canon Fist and taught me, and I'm a one-in-a-million martial arts prodigy …"
Jiang He looked down at her palm. The thick callus between her thumb and index finger had long disappeared, but it was still a little stiff. She had been wearing hand cream on a daily basis, so the back of her hand had become much smoother and more delicate than before.
She had taken off the hat of an ancient person. Next, she had to live a good life in the modern world.
"Now you're not worried that I'll run away, right?" Jiang He suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Xu Qing tilted his head. "I've never been worried."
"Then why are you in such a hurry to get married with me?"
"The weather is good, so I got it."
"That's all?"
"What else?"
"The weather is very good." Jiang He looked up and smiled. She reached out and held Xu Qing's arm.
"Xu Qing."
"Hmm?"
"I like you so much." She leaned closer and whispered, holding his arm tightly.
“me too。”
"What rabbit?"
"The foreign devil's words mean that I'm the same."
Xu Qing stretched out his other hand and rubbed her hair. This little heroine was sweet and gentle. He had earned a lot.
The bus came from afar. It was not the evening rush hour yet, so there were many empty seats. The two of them found a seat and sat down. Jiang He took out the red booklet and looked at it.
It was a very magical certificate, a marriage contract issued by the government.
And it was free.
She looked at it happily. She took out her mobile phone and took a photo. Then, she used a small sticker to blur the information of the two of them and sent it to her WeChat Moments.
"You've learned bad things." Xu Qing looked at her and said.
"Hmm?"
"This is a problem of modern people."
"I'm happy to!"
Xu Qing had no choice. What could he ask of the little old lady from the Tang Dynasty?
When they arrived at Beiwang Road, he saw Zhao Shu sitting at the door. Xu Qing took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket, one pack of Hua Zi and one pack of Soft Yuxi, and happily gave them to him.
"Oh, this is good!"
"Hehe, don't smoke too much."
Xu Qing greeted him. Jiang He also smiled at him and followed Xu Qing to walk away. She looked back and asked curiously, "Why did you give him two packs?"
"He helped us."
"Oh."
"When I gave you this access card, I mentioned to Auntie Cheng that your identity hasn't been settled yet. You can only get married after you find a way. Auntie Cheng must have told him … Although they don't know what's going on, when the police asked them, they must have known what's going on and helped you intentionally."
"Do you want to give it to Aunt Cheng too?"
"She doesn't need it. You just need to teach Xiaoyan how to do his homework during the winter vacation."
"…"
Jiang He thought of Xiaoyan. During the summer vacation, the two of them studied primary school knowledge together.
Humph, she can't teach them. Although she has now finished learning junior high school by herself, she only has a superficial understanding and can only do exercises.
When they returned home together, Xu Qing was lying lazily on the sofa. Jiang He fumbled on the sofa and found the switch. The back of the sofa was flat. She also squeezed onto it and leaned against Xu Qing.
After getting the marriage certificate, she felt that a big problem had been solved, but she did not feel relieved. She always felt that there was something in her heart that wanted to get closer to him.
"You don't seem right." Xu Qing felt her breath on the side of his face and keenly sensed that something was wrong.
"I'm not right."
Jiang He denied. She closed her eyes and thought carefully for a while. She also felt that something was wrong. The thoughts of ancient times and modern times collided in her mind. After a while, she suddenly got up and did not want to continue like this.
"It's almost three o 'clock. Let me check the reverse repurchase."
"Okay."
Xu Qing also got up and opened his account. Since the last time he heard Zhao Shu mention the fund, he felt that it was over. In the past two months, he had been slowly reducing his holdings. Now that the fund's shares were almost cleared, he looked at the balance in his account and transferred another 50,000 yuan to Jiang He.
"Why are you giving me so much?!" Jiang He was shocked and turned to ask Xu Qing.
"Anyway, you only play this game. It's not like you will lose money. Earn more money to buy groceries."
"What about you?"
"I have already left the casino. If I stay any longer, I will lose money." Xu Qing looked at the only real estate stock in his account. He thought for a moment and did not touch it. He would just leave it there.
"How did you know?" Jiang He felt that it was very magical. She climbed up from the chair and looked at Xu Qing's head. "Can you really predict the future?"
Although this ability was very incredible, it made sense when he thought about his identity.
The world was big and full of strange things.
She had also seen Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's push-ups … on Baidu. Of course, she did not see it in Kaiyuan.
It said that Wu Zhao was in power and Di Renjie was forcing the Emperor to abdicate. It was the most amazing of all. Now, Jiang He suspected that he also had a similar ability. It was clearly a casino, but he knew in advance that he was going to lose and not play. Wasn't this bullying?
"All smart people know this. Little friend, you have to read more." Xu Qing moved her hand away and rubbed Jiang He's head. "This is not predicting the future. It's looking at the general trend."
"I want to learn too."
"Haven't you been learning?"
"No way."
"To understand this world."
Xu Qing moved the mouse and smiled. "See more, observe more."
"For example?" Jiang He felt that this guy was too bad. He taught him martial arts, but he didn't teach him how to make money.
"Times are always changing. For example, in the past, celebrities were extremely popular and they could make money easily. Later on, there was a movie that failed and that was the beginning of the decline. Although they were still popular, they were already going downhill. That was when a new hot topic rose up, like this." Xu Qing took the linkage bucket that White Gourd had ravaged. "A few years ago, it was funny to want to compete with celebrities in this kind of event. But the last time we went there, the celebrity endorsement set was crushed by the 2D world, and the celebrity posters piled up on the counter and couldn't be sent out. This is the general trend."
He remembered that there was a game designer who beat the celebrities in the celebrity rankings. Unfortunately, Jiang He played the game too late and didn't catch up.
"The general trend of the world is vast and mighty. Those who go with it prosper, and those who go against it die. That's how it is."
"Why are you reading so much during a meal?"
"This is the accumulation of life. Look at these two, it's the opposite. One was very popular during the survey, but when the event came out, it was all fake fans. There were even people who bought it and returned it. The other was not played during the survey, but when the event came out, it was packed. Fake fans will always be exposed. Of course, they will always have a group of core fans. One of them can pretend to be ten people. A forty-year-old mother of two children or something. "
"This is for you." Jiang He pinched a sweet potato and fed it to him. "A forty-year-old mother of two children, I …"
"You what?"
"I definitely won't."
Jiang He rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat. She still couldn't learn what Xu Qing said, but now that she was married, it was time to consider it …
She sighed quietly. After the wedding, she was going to have a child …
Second Mother said … Second Mother didn't say anything about having a child.
It was over.
Xu Qing opened the property market in Jiang City to do some research. The two of them had already confirmed that they were going to live in a high-rise building, so they would prioritize the ones with balconies. This way, the scope would be much smaller, and the few unfinished buildings could also be considered.
After they bought the house, it would be time for the wedding. The wedding would be complete, not just with a red booklet.
According to Xu Qing's understanding of wedding customs, ancient people like Jiang He valued the form the most. The significance of holding a booklet was far less significant than the significance of the wedding.
Inform the heavens, the earth, and the parents. Inform everyone that they were married and let the heavens know. Then, the husband and wife would bow to each other. This was called a legal marriage. As for only holding a red booklet, it was no different from eloping.
Chinese wedding … He had to start learning about the wedding planning companies in Jiang City, or else he didn't know when his virginity would end. This little old lady, she obviously had the marriage certificate in her hands, but she was still holding on to her belt.
Could it be that she was afraid of having a child? She should know about birth control products … It was better to be conservative.
Xu Qing scratched his head. He loved and hated her identity as an ancient person. The main reason was because of her strength. If she was slightly weaker, she should be able to get it done after some persuasion. He would only be afraid if he didn't try it. After trying it, it would definitely be delicious.
They were busy until almost four o 'clock. Jiang He was still holding a small booklet and studying something. Now that she had more than eighty thousand yuan in her hands, she had to be more serious.
That was the money that she and Xu Qing had saved up bit by bit … Well, it was mainly Xu Qing who had saved up bit by bit. Jiang He knew that the money that she had earned had almost been used to pay for the wedding.
At first, she had to pay for the television, then the tea leaves, and Xu Qing's laptop. They should all be counted as her expenses, and so on …
No.
"Where's my dowry?"
"Huh?" Xu Qing was stunned.
"Pfft! How much money did I save? "Jiang He turned her head to look elsewhere.
Xu Qing pondered for a moment, his expression strange. "You saved up for your dowry?"
"I saved up."
"Dowry."
"Money."
"Marry …"
Bam!
Jiang He slammed the table and stood up, glaring at him. "Xu Qing, don't go overboard!"
"…"
Seeing her angry look, Xu Qing was amused. "It's in your hands."
"I saved up so much?"
"Yes."
"I'm going to run away with it."
Jiang He couldn't stand Xu Qing's gaze. She turned off the computer and went into the bedroom.
After a while, she came out again, as though nothing had happened. She took a piece of paper and said, "I want to deliver the goods. How do I do it?"
She had finally sold her first order of dried sweet potatoes.
