I listened at the top of the stairs for a long time, until there was no more talking downstairs, then I took a few steps back gently, and then walked slowly down the stairs again.
When Mr. Chen Wu saw me, he immediately showed his kind signature smile and called me over.
"Changming, Mr. Yang and I just happened to be talking about you. Let me introduce you formally. This is Mr. Yang Bailiu, a famous Feng Shui master in Jiangcheng."
"Yang...Mr. Yang."
I quickly walked over with some caution.
As for the conversation between them just now, I pretended not to have heard it, but I felt a little more wary.
Yang Bailiu smiled slightly awkwardly and said nothing more.
This Feng Shui master is obviously a real person and cannot do things like that.
The three of us chatted casually for a few words without embarrassment, and then Yang Bailiu went to prepare the things needed for the ritual.
Mr. Chen Wu took me out the door.
After a while, we arrived at a shop called "Xiangyuange" in Kowloon City.
This Kowloon City is a famous antique city in Jiangcheng. It is full of antique calligraphy and painting, fish, insect, flower and bird shops. It is a place where the elderly and wealthy people in the city often gather.
It is said that store rents here are much more expensive than those in the most prosperous commercial streets in the city.
Here, Mr. Chen Wu has a two-story attic. There are three connected stores downstairs, a private room on the second floor, and a small courtyard at the back where people can live. Flowers and grass are planted in it, which is quite quiet and comfortable.
"Changming, what do you think of this shop?"
After entering the store, Mr. Chen Wu made a pot of tea, then looked at me with a smile and asked.
"fine."
I nodded, not knowing what the other person wanted to say. But I guess it was definitely not to show off to me.
"Then this shop will be given to you from now on, but I hope you can promise me one thing, that is, no matter what in the future, your marriage to Rou'er will not be annulled."
As he spoke, Mr. Chen Wu directly placed a bunch of keys in front of me.
This condition, to be honest, really makes me a little excited.
Putting aside the shop in Xiangyuan Pavilion, the value of this house alone is probably far beyond my imagination.
But I don't dare to accept this pie-in-the-sky thing easily.
"I still don't understand something."
I shook my head and looked at Mr. Chen Wu, my confusion written on my face.
I've actually wanted to ask this for a long time. With the Chen family's current financial situation, as long as they want to find a son-in-law, even if their daughter grows up to be a pig, there will probably be a lot of young people sharpening their heads to get in, right?
What's more, Chen Yurou is so beautiful. Looking at the whole Jiangcheng, she is one of the top beauties.
Under such conditions, why did you choose a poor boy like me from the countryside?
This is completely unreasonable.
"Let me tell you this."
Chen Wuye frowned slightly and said with a slightly solemn expression: "I have calculated some things that are related to the rise and fall of our Chen family, but there are some things that I can't tell you. You also know that there are many things in our industry.
Taboo, if the secret is leaked, it will be of no benefit to you or me. But one thing you can rest assured is that I will definitely not harm you."
I actually know a little bit about things like fortune telling and fortune telling. There are indeed many taboos in them, and I have always seen them through but never told them.
So Mr. Chen Wu shouldn’t deceive me in this regard, but will it harm me? That’s hard to say.
"Grandpa Chen, no matter what, I definitely owe you a favor. I will never go back on the engagement I made before, but I still want to know, what is my use?"
I looked at Mr. Chen Wu and asked sincerely.
Although I have already agreed to this engagement, I cannot keep it in the dark.
"Young people are just too curious."
Chen Wuye narrowed his eyes and smiled, then nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll explain it to you. In fact, I also have selfish motives. You have great luck, so your future achievements will definitely not be achieved."
I estimate that if I recruit you as my son-in-law now, when you become successful in the future, the Chen family will naturally benefit from it, just think of it as an investment!"
"If this is really the case, then I agree to this."
I said and picked up the keys on the table.
Although I also know that what Mr. Chen Wu just said was definitely deceiving me, I actually have no choice but to accept it.
Besides, with such a shop, even if the marriage fails, I will have a place to stay.
In this way, Chen Yurou and I's marriage was finally settled.
Moreover, Chen Wuye seemed very urgent about this matter and directly set the wedding for three days later, that is, October 9th.
Of course I have no objection to this. Anyway, I have already agreed to the marriage. It would be nice to get married as soon as possible, so at least I don’t have to lay the floor.
After lunch, Chen Wuye asked Chen Yurou to take me to buy some clothes. Before leaving, he specially gave me a bank card.
As a result, I spent an afternoon shopping in the mall. I didn't buy a few clothes for myself. Instead, I bought a lot for Chen Yurou, and I acted as a coolie and followed her to carry bags all afternoon.
This gave me a sense of déjà vu as I entered married life ahead of schedule.
But there is nothing wrong with going shopping with such a beautiful woman. At least when the men see me, they all look very envious.
When I came back in the evening, the house was covered with talismans, and Yang Bailiu also arranged a fatan in the living room.
As soon as I saw this posture, I knew that it was definitely not just a casual ritual for peace of mind. It was obvious that this was something serious.
Everyone from the Chen family was also present, and all of them looked very ugly. The second young lady of the Chen family was even wiping away tears. The atmosphere was indescribably depressing.
"What happened?"
When I saw that the situation was not good, I quickly asked Yang Bailiu in a low voice.
"I don't know for sure. It seems that the second son of the Chen family offended some big shot and had someone get him in."
Yang Bailiu shook his head and said with a slightly solemn expression.
When he said this, I realized that only the second eldest child of the Chen family was not present. No wonder the second young lady was wiping tears there. It turned out that something had happened to her father.
The three brothers of the Chen family each gave birth to a daughter. Chen Yurou is the eldest daughter of the Chen family, the second daughter is Chen Yuxin, and the third daughter is Chen Yuxi. They are all slim and pretty, but in comparison, Chen Yurou is the tallest.
Be the most beautiful.
A wealthy family like the Chen family is bound to do a lot of business, and it is inevitable to offend others.
However, such a big family must have some background. If someone can directly get the second son of the Chen family into it, it is definitely not an ordinary person.
If this is the case, then the Chen family may be in big trouble.
"Rou'er, please take Chang Ming up to rest first, and take a look at the wedding room decorated for you. Don't worry about things at home. After tonight, everything will be fine."
Mr. Chen Wu still had a kind smile on his face, and he patted me on the shoulder as he spoke.
After all, this was a family matter of the Chen family, so I didn’t have much to ask, so I could only follow Chen Yurou upstairs.
The room on the left hand side of the second floor was indeed decorated as a wedding room. It was decorated with lights, bright red happy characters, and a bright red bed, making it look festive.
It's just that there are yellow symbols on the windows and door beams, which gives people a somewhat weird feeling.
"Do you know why my grandfather insisted on getting us married in a hurry?"
Chen Yurou looked around the wedding room, then looked at me puzzled and asked.
"This...I don't know either."
I shook my head and looked at her blankly.
"Then I still say what I said, just don't take this matter too seriously."
Chen Yurou didn't ask any more questions. After finishing speaking, she turned around and went out.
"Then...then where will I sleep tonight?"
I asked her quickly.
"Sleep in the wedding room, you can get used to it in advance."
Chen Yurou said, giving me a meaningful look, and then returned to her room.
I was stunned for several seconds and couldn't react because I was too unsure. What did she mean by asking me to adapt in advance?
Should I be allowed to adapt to the environment of the wedding room in advance, or should I be allowed to adapt to sleeping alone in the wedding room in advance?
I'm afraid it's obviously the latter!
In fact, her intention is very obvious. Even if she really marries me, she will sleep in a separate room with me.
So what’s the point of what I did as a door-to-door son-in-law? We’re married but it doesn’t seem to be married, so we might as well build a bed on the floor!
I lay on the bed and tossed and turned, but I didn't feel sleepy at all.
Originally, I was getting married, which is something I should be happy about, but now I can't be happy at all.
Time passed by minute by second, and it was midnight in the blink of an eye, and my stomach started to growl. Only then did I remember that I hadn’t eaten at night.
Just when I was hesitating whether to go downstairs to find something to eat, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock."
"Who?"
I quickly asked cautiously.
"it's me."
Chen Yurou's voice came from outside the door.
She deliberately kept her voice low, as if she was afraid of being heard by others.
I was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped out of bed and opened the door as if I had been given a shot of blood.
