Starting from the morning of this day, a rumor spread out of the Qufu room, saying that a lady from the Confucian Mansion was getting engaged today.
Here in Qufu, the general news does not attract much interest from the public. At most, it is just a few chats after dinner, and the heat will soon dissipate. But anything related to the Confucian Mansion is big news. The whole Qufu They are all very curious. Qufu is the hometown of Confucius, so Qufu people regard themselves as half-Confucian people, and they all regard themselves as children of Confucianism and Taoism. Only with the development of the times and social progress, this idea gradually decreased. The middle-aged and elderly people still stubbornly believe that Confucius is still a kind of belief in their hearts, so the marriage of the young lady of the Confucian mansion has become a matter that Qufu people like to talk about.
For a while, this rumor spread widely in the market, and people were curious about who was able to marry the young lady of the Confucian Mansion. Then at noon, the name Shen Linfeng popped up. And his details have also spread to people's ears, it is only said that this young man named Shen Linfeng is a wealthy businessman in the south, very rich, but the news of Shen Wansan's descendants has not been spread.
This time, the people in Qufu felt a little tired, because in their hearts, the identity of the direct descendants of Confucius is very detached and respected. Although she is a woman, she represents the most orthodox Confucian family. One's identity should not marry a businessman full of money, even an official, of course, it is best to be an outstanding disciple of Confucius and Mencius, that would be perfect.
They felt that Kong Dejing and Shen Linfeng were not a good match at all. Even if he was a rich businessman, no matter how rich he was, it would tarnish the reputation of Confucius' descendants.
Just because of the news of the engagement, people in Qufu mourned all over the place. They were not worthy of Miss Confucian Mansion, and voices of opposition began to appear, but they were more reserved or whispered, and they were not widely publicized.
In the evening, there were more and more disharmonious voices among the people in Qufu, almost reaching the point where everyone was talking about it. At this time, the Confucian Mansion naturally got the news, and Mr. Kong Da's face was very ugly.
"Who leaked the news?" Mr. Kong Da asked dissatisfied.
"Elder Deacon, it's not a leak. On the day when the Shen family gave the dowry, many people from the Confucian House were there, and there were also many people from the Shen family. It's normal for one or two people to talk too much."
Deacon Kong Da let out a heavy snort, and said, "A group of ignorant common people, worrying about everything."
After all, what the people know is limited. They just don't want the young lady of the Confucian Mansion to marry a businessman covered in money, but if they know that she is married to the descendants of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, they probably won't object too much. When the wealth reaches an indescribable level, you can no longer simply say that you are a rich person, and you are no longer a pure businessman.
At night, the lights come on.
Three cars drove out from the old house of the Confucian mansion, and the people in them were the Kong family, Mr. Kong Da, Kong Dejing's parents, and Kong Deru who had become a wild crane. The car came down from the mountain of the old house and went straight to the city. At eight o'clock, Kong Dejing and Shen Linfeng held an engagement dinner in the star hotel in Qufu.
Originally, the meaning of the two families was that the two parties would gather together, and simply set up a few banquet tables for a meal. After all, the major matters had already been decided, but after the rumors spread during the day, the relationship between Mr. Kong Da and Kong Dejing The parents received many people who wanted to participate in the engagement ceremony. These people were basically local people in Qufu, including businessmen and government officials.
In this way, the simple purchase turned into a big deal, and the scale of several banquets became a dinner party. This is the result of the Confucian Mansion rejecting many people, otherwise there will be more people.
At the entrance of the hotel, Shen Linfeng stood outside with his hands behind his back, waiting for the people from the Confucian Mansion to arrive. Xiang Que mixed in with his entourage and was also wearing a Tang suit, standing behind Shen Linfeng.
"Your method is simply too dark, Xiang Que, I'm really worried about how dark that Mr. Kong Da's face will be when the time comes."
Xiang Que scratched his nose and said, "Why don't you worry about your father's face getting dark?"
"Compared to my poignant love story, it doesn't matter what color my father's face will turn into. Besides, this is Qufu and not Hangzhou. We can't lose face, but the Confucian mansion is really going to have a headache. "Shen Linfeng turned his head sideways and said in a low voice: "Hey, you said that Mr. Kong Da must know that you are behind this. Did he tear your heart alive?"
"Even if there is nothing today, he still thinks so, it doesn't matter anymore"
After more than ten minutes, Shen Linfeng received the news from Kong Dejing that the car of the Confucius Mansion was about to arrive at the hotel. He turned around and said, "Tell the master, he is coming."
A few minutes later, three cars stopped in front of the hotel one by one. Shen Tianchang and Shen Linfeng walked down the steps together and took the initiative to greet them.
But at this time, a lot of cars started to drive towards this side at the same time in the distance of the hotel, and they all parked in the parking lot of the hotel, and then all the people got down, and what was surprising was that all of these people had Wearing black cloth, many people even wear Xiaobu around their waists and wear white hats on their heads.
These people all understood at a glance, this is a matter of white affairs.
This group of people just got out of the car, and a few more cars drove over on the road and entered the parking lot. When the doors opened and people got out, many people were a little confused, because the people who came over were still doing things for nothing, and the people in the front and back None of them greeted each other, and it was obvious that there were two groups of people.
Mr. Kong Da frowned suddenly: "Where is the hotel manager?"
"Mr. Kong Da, you are looking for me" Afterwards, the manager came over.
"What's the matter? Have you accepted the funeral banquet?" Mr. Kong Da asked with a rather ugly face.
"Normal reception, they are all booked in the morning"
"Do you know that we are here today, you know? Why do you still have a funeral banquet when you know?"
The manager said helplessly: "Mr. Kong Da, when the hotel is open for business, you can't push the business outside, can you? Originally, this season is the off-season for the hotel. If we don't do any business, where will the profit of that year come from?" ah"
Mr. Kong Da snorted heavily, at this time Shen Tianchang said very seriously: "It's okay, we will do ours, and they will do theirs. They are not in the same hall and do not interfere with each other."
As soon as Shen Tianchang's words fell, two groups of people walked over from both sides of the road almost at the same time, and they were immediately stunned when they saw it.
This is another two groups of white people, and there are quite a few of them.
At this time, not only Mr. Kong Da, but even Shen Tianchang's face is not right. We are holding an engagement banquet and surrounded by a bunch of people who arrange funeral affairs for the dead?
