Next to the envelope was written vertically: From Jiuyang my grandson.
Judging from the font, it is undoubtedly my grandfather’s handwriting!
But what does this mean?
This is a relic left by my grandfather, and everything in it must be for me, but I never imagined that there is a marriage letter. Could it be that my grandfather has already arranged a future wife for me?
My first feeling was surprise.
The second feeling was that I was a little confused!
Then there is something unacceptable!
Anyway, I never dreamed that this kind of bloody novel plot would appear in my life.
What the hell is this age?
But then I thought about my grandfather's age. He was different from the time we lived in. This kind of thing was relatively common in their time, and my grandfather's character was that of a stubborn old man who refused to change.
It's a very strange feeling. I have an inexplicable disgust in my heart. I don't know why. Since I have a little expectation at the same time, I don't know what kind of girl my grandpa has arranged for me?
The eyes of Huzi and Fatty also fell on the marriage letter at the same time.
"Holy shit! Jiuyang is getting married!?" The fat man also looked surprised.
I glared at the fat man, not knowing how to answer his words.
Hey! Let’s take a look first and then talk about it?
I reluctantly picked up the envelope. The envelope was not sealed and there were two pieces of letter paper inside.
I randomly picked up a piece of paper, unfolded it, and was surprised to find that the person who wrote the letter was not my grandfather.
I frowned and read it.
The content of the letter was very simple. An old man who called himself Hu Yuanqiao voluntarily betrothed his granddaughter to me, the grandson of the fourth master of the Zhang family, but he did not write my name.
Judging from the paper and handwriting, I guess this is a marriage letter written a long time ago, at least ten years ago.
The information revealed between the lines is that this person named Hu and my grandfather should be of the same generation, and he seems to be a cultural person. His writing style is vigorous, powerful and majestic, which is pleasing to the eye.
The relationship between the two should be good, and they are probably life-and-death friends, because in the end they were called elder brother.
Judging from the emotions revealed in the letter, the old man named Hu seemed to be quite happy. He was very optimistic about the marriage and told my grandfather not to forget the agreement. When the agreed period comes, he must let me go to the provincial capital with the letter.
The Hu family proposed marriage.
After reading this letter, I finally believed that this was an arranged marriage.
Then another piece of paper was opened, and the familiar handwriting belonged to grandpa.
It's just that in comparison, Grandpa's handwriting is a bit unappealing, and he can only be regarded as an entry-level person.
What grandpa wrote is even simpler. The meaning is basically the same as that of Hu. He is also very happy that the two families are getting married.
The letter explained two points. First, before the third day of March, you must go to the Hu family in the provincial capital to propose marriage.
I couldn't help but feel speechless when I saw this date. As the saying goes, three ghosts circle in March. This is the Ghost Festival. Is the date set by grandpa so random? It's not like marrying a ghost wife.
Second, on September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, we must get married!
Moreover, grandpa, don’t tell me seriously, I must agree to this marriage, otherwise, there will be big trouble!
Both are dead rules, and they echo Grandpa’s character.
The final date of payment was actually written last year!
Last year, that is, when my grandfather was ill, I don’t remember seeing the Long family at my house during this year. After all, this secret box was given to me by Mother Long herself.
Throwing the two letters on the table, I sat beside them and felt a little confused.
I fully felt what caused trouble to come from heaven for people at home.
I couldn't help but look at Huzi, "Did you already know about this?"
Huzi scratched his head, "Fourth Master did call me to explain this matter to me before he died, but I have never seen this letter."
I nodded. No wonder Huzi told Long Shuiyao that he couldn't fall in love with me. It turned out to be because of this incident!
But I always felt that things were not that simple, so I asked:
"What else did grandpa tell you?"
"Fourth Master said, let me supervise you, and you must get this marriage done! Otherwise, even if you are a ghost, I will not let you go."
"Okay Huzi, this is why you are with me!" I glared at him fiercely.
Huzi was a little panicked when I glared at him, "Master, you can't think like this, these are completely two different things, okay?"
Seeing the aggrieved and wronged expression on his face, I really couldn't vent my anger on him. After all, his father was my grandfather's disciple. In his generation, the emphasis was that one day he was a teacher and he was always a father.
It must be for this reason that he followed me. If I blame him for this matter, it will appear that I don't know the importance of it.
The fat man picked up the letter on the table with a curious expression. After reading it once, he couldn't help but frown.
"Hu Yuanqiao, where have you heard your name before?"
The fat man kept repeating the name. After a while, he suddenly shouted, "I remembered it!"
Huzi and I immediately looked at him at the same time.
"The Hu family, the Hu family in the provincial capital!"
"Which provincial capital is the Hu family?" I asked in confusion, "Is it very famous?"
"Of course he is famous. He often appears on TV. Do you think he is famous or not?"
"What's the big deal about being on TV?" I rolled my eyes disdainfully.
But the fat man grabbed my hand and said, "Brother, you are going to be rich! You are going to be very rich!"
I was confused by the fat man's nervousness, so I asked him to explain quickly.
"Jiuyang, do you know who this Hu Yuanqiao is?"
"who?"
"The old man of the Hu Group! He has been to Jiangcheng before and was personally received by the city lord. Have you forgotten?"
"Damn it, the city lord met me!" I gasped.
"It can't be the Hu Group, one of the world's top 500 companies, right?" Huzi asked.
"Yes, it's the Hu Group. Jiuyang, you are going to be the uncle of the Hu Group. Come here, please give me a hug and support. From now on, I will follow you to enjoy the hot and spicy food!"
The fat man suddenly opened his hands, hugged me hard, and kissed my face with a pout.
"Asshole, what a pervert!" I pushed him away with a wry smile.
"What are you doing? So busy?" A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.
I looked back and saw that Lin Wan was here!
"Why are you here? Didn't Mr. Long call you?" I asked.
"You're beaten, so I'm here to pick you up?"
Lin Wan walked over with a faint smile.
I found that she was in poor spirits, her eyes were red, and her face looked haggard.
"Is your brother okay?" I asked quickly.
"It's okay for now. I did what you said and the thing didn't appear again."
"That's good!" I also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry too much, things will be solved eventually." I comforted.
"Well, I believe you!" Lin Wan looked at me and smiled sweetly.
Lin Wan is really beautiful. Looking at her flower-like smile, I suddenly felt that time flies so fast.
Seeing that my expression was abnormal, Lin Wan's face turned slightly red and she shyly looked away.
