Four Seasons Three Meals

The next day, the tailor who made the wedding dress came. It was an old couple who were almost 70 years old. There was a big fight, and they brought three assistants, who they said were apprentices.

The aunt wore glasses and had sharp eyes. She used a soft ruler to measure Jiang Huai's body, shoulder width, waist, and arms, from top to bottom. She took a notebook and memorized it clearly.

Cong Shan was sitting on the chair next to him, watching the fun, when it was his turn, the old tailor measured him carefully.

The aunt said: "You have a generous budget, and you can ask Chengdu to do the embroidery. The handmade Chinese dresses are usually half a year in advance, but it's okay to catch up."

Cong Shan said yes.

The old aunt said again: "For western-style dresses, we represent a big brand. It's a mouthful. What's the name?"

The assistant girl quickly answered the call and said, "Vera Wang."

The old aunt said: "This is the foreign brand, the American one, Wang Weiwei."

Jiang Huai smiled.

The old aunt is arrogant and disdainful of Western-style wedding dresses.

But the old aunt is still very professional, saying: "In addition to Chinese and Western dresses, there is also a set of evening dresses, which are made of high-end foreign brands, which is very good. Besides weddings, you can also wear them for important occasions. This set , our family can’t do it, so we have to go to Shanghai or Hong Kong to do it.”

Cong Shan listened patiently, and the old aunt asked Jiang Huai to choose the style of the traditional dress first.

Jiang Huai saw that the red dresses were all the same, so he pointed at the pattern casually.

Aunt Tailor said: "This one has a look, the groom will try it first."

The assistants didn't come here for nothing. Several large suitcases were opened, revealing bright red robes with gold thread.

Jiang Huai was startled, turned to Cong Shan and said, "Let's just make a western-style wedding dress, shall we?"

The old aunt laughed and said, "Why is the groom out of his mind? If you are getting married, three sets of dresses are not too many. The dragon and phoenix dresses are matched with gold pigs, diamonds, and emeralds, exactly three sets. The flowers are full of flowers, so foreign!"

Cong Shan smiled and said to Jiang Huai: "Huaibao, try it first, let me see."

The assistant girl took the Ming and Qing style dress, and accompanied Jiang Huai into the room to try it on.

Jiang Huai came out after getting dressed, feeling uncomfortable.

Cong Shan stared at him for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "Huaibao, take a look around."

Jiang Huai turned around to show him, feeling that the thick satin fabric, embroidered with gold thread, was very heavy.

Cong Shan said, "It's pretty."

Jiang Huai's face was a little red.

The old aunt raised her glasses, took a closer look, and praised: "It can be the signboard of our store."

Jiang Huai guessed that the old aunt said that to every new couple.

Aunt Tailor chose the dress style for Jiang Huai. There were too many details, and she had to choose the material. The accessories were embroidered with silver thread, or pearls and diamonds. It was extremely cumbersome.

Cong Shan sat beside Jiang Huai's dazed look, and said, "The simpler the better."

Aunt Tailor said: "You are very knowledgeable. The simpler you are, the more labor-intensive you will be."

Cong Shan laughed, and Jiang Huai laughed too. This is called hitting by mistake.

Jiang Huai tried on another evening dress, which he would wear to reward the guests after the wedding banquet.

The assistant lady helped him dress, he felt a little tired.

Just a wedding dress can hypnotize people like this.

Seeing that he hadn't come out for a long time, Cong Shan came in.

Jiang Huai turned to look at him and smiled at him.

There were ripples in Cong Shan's heart, and he became gentle in an instant, without saying a word.

Jiang Huai asked, "Is this all right?"

Cong Shan nodded with a smile in his eyes. This is when the words didn't convey the meaning, and the casualness disappeared, because the thoughts were broken.

Jiang Huai said, "That's it."

They choose the dress so quickly, the tailor aunt said: "I have never seen such a trouble-free newcomer. At least two tries are needed, and once it is done, it will be changed once, and it will be changed again before the wedding. Before the wedding, the couple will be under a lot of pressure and will lose weight."

Jiang Huai felt tormented, and asked Cong Shan: "Why don't you just go back to Jiangcheng and make a dress, it will save time and effort."

Cong Shan said with a smile: "Idle is idle, come and hang out more, as a tourist."

Jiang Huai smiled slightly.

The tailors packed up and left, and the room fell silent.

Cong Shan sat on the bed, pulling Jiang Huai to sit in his arms.

Jiang Huai looked at him with a smile.

Cong Shan suddenly said, "Sister Jiang fell from the sky."

Jiang Huai smiled.

In the afternoon, when the snow was a little lighter, they took a taxi to Ciqikou to play.

They avoided the crowd and walked on the bluestone path that existed thousands of years ago.

Jiang Huai hummed: "Dark clouds, dark clouds, go away, do you know that I never brought an umbrella."

Cong Shan told him: "Huaibao, Ciqikou used to be called Longyin Town."

Jiang Huai asked, "Why?"

Cong Shan said: "Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty was usurped by his own uncle and fled to a temple here. This is why the temple was named Longyin Temple and the town was named Longyin Town."

Jiang Huai looked at him adoringly: "You know a lot."

Cong Shan smiled slightly, and said: "Huaibao, there is an introduction to the place where we came in. You were greedy for little twists at the time, so you didn't look carefully."

Jiang Huai's face was a little hot.

He changed the subject and asked Cong Shan: "Where are we going?"

Cong Shan said, "Do you want to go to Soong Ching Ling's former residence and Bai Mansion?"

Jiang Huai nodded and said he wanted to go.

An ancient city is often a mixture of fiction and reality, the real is what you see in front of you, and the virtual is what you think.A place with allusions is half the fun.

In the evening, they went to listen to Sichuan Opera.In the dim yellow street lamps on the street, the lines of the willow trees are so thin, and the rain and snow are falling.

Jiang Huai was a little out of it.He felt like he was dreaming, and the feeling of unreality intensified.

Cong Shan called him.

Jiang Huai came back to his senses and said, "That's great."

Cong Shan said, "Huaibao, let's go to more places together in the future."

Jiang Huai let out a "hmm".

They went to a hall-style theater with few seats, turned off their mobile phones when they entered the theater, and sat down to drink tea.A few narcissus branches are placed obliquely in the vase on the tea table, transparent and pale white, with faint fragrance.The play lasted about one and a half minutes. The actors sang purely with their voices without using a microphone.

Jiang Huai looked at Cong Shan's profile occasionally, but didn't speak.

A few days later, the group finished their business and returned from Chongqing.

In the parking lot under the office building, the prince of the Li family was pulling on the door of Cong Shan's car.

"Cheng Song doesn't want to see me."

"and then?"

"Aren't you friends for many years?"

"Whatever you want, just say it."

"You let him see me."

"He doesn't accept disciples."

Cong Shan directly refused.

The prince said: "I don't care, I won't leave if I don't see Cheng Song today."

Cong Shan smiled, feeling that he was whimsical, and asked, "Young Master Li, are you threatening me now?"

"I don't, I want to see my wife, it's only right and proper."

They stalemate for a long time, Cong Shan said: "He has gone back to the temple."

"Thank you, you are my second parent."

"Satisfied? Get out of here."

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

The prince let go, closed the car door for Cong Shan, and waved goodbye cordially.

Cong Shan didn't care about this living treasure at all.

Jiang Huai sat aside and smiled.

He used his mobile phone to make business news. A trading company sold expired imported milk, secretly modified the shelf life in the warehouse, and put it on the market. It was detected by supervision and more than a dozen people were sentenced to prison.

The investment department behind it, although it does not have to bear criminal responsibility, has been criticized.

The investor is Cong Yue.

Cong Shan said: "There are many black swan incidents in food companies. If it is not that there are no projects in hand and nowhere to go for energy, there is no need to do this at all."

Jiang Huai let out a "hmm".

Cong Shan said: "The people of the Cong family are scattered now, and now is a good time to gobble up the shares of the Cong family."

Cong Shan must know the details of the Cong family.In the acquisition war, outsiders can't estimate how much money the Cong family can mobilize and whether the stock price is worth it. Of course, he knows it well.

Jiang Huai let out a "hmm".

The Li family initiated the acquisition of the Cong family. In fact, it was Cong Shan who was in charge. Mr. Li still had some prestige. With the help of Cheng Yang and Cheng Song's help, the equity battle continued for several months.

When the Cong family made the announcement, the Li family was already the second largest shareholder.

The wedding was being prepared day by day, like building blocks of a castle. By the time the wedding invitations were sent out, it was already late spring and early summer.

Jiang Huai lays his Kung Fu Panda on his pillow at home, watching cartoons, and waiting for Cong Shan to get off work.

In the evening, the two of them went to the private garden for dinner and looked at the courtyard buildings. The garden was full of camellia trees.There is a sparrow on the flower branch, a small nipple, which sings very delicately.

They eat Sichuan cuisine, and there is a dish of boiled cabbage, which Jiang Huai only saw in books when he was in college.

The soup is cool in color, fresh and elegant, with a rich and mellow aroma. The soup has a strong taste, but it is fragrant and refreshing, not greasy or greasy.

Looking at the food notes, Jiang Huai wanted Jinhua's ham, Guangdong's Yaozhu, and Fuzhou's abalone. They were precious ingredients, just to accompany a Chinese cabbage.

After eating, they stood on the wooden bridge with carved railings and watched the carp swimming around under the window.Among them was a big carp with black head, white body and red tail.

Cong Shan said, "Huaibao, that carp looks like you."

Jiang Huai asked, "Where does it look like?"

Cong Shan said: "Simple, but also a bit different, don't follow the trend."

Jiang Huai didn't listen to his nonsense, took out a coin from his coat pocket, threw a small stone bowl in the middle of the water, and missed.

Cong Shan stretched out his hand, and Jiang Huai put the coin back in his palm.

He threw it slowly, and the coin hit the stone bowl, making a crisp sound with each throw.

Cong Shan said, "Huaibao can make a wish."

Jiang Huai said: "The whole family is safe and happy."

Cong Shan said: "This is also a big problem."

Jiang Huai thought for a while and said, "Then you will always like me."

Cong Shan smiled, kissed him, and said, "Then this has been realized."

After the summer solstice, the Li family and the Cong family were competing for equity. Outsiders were worried that the Li family's funds would be broken and they would not be able to swallow the Cong family. It was expected that the stock price would plummet.

Everyone has a bearish attitude.

Cong Shan saw that the stock price was about to fall, so he borrowed Mr. Cong's personal name to do the opposite, and started to buy. Once he entered the market, he would get billions of dollars.

The direction of the wind reversed instantly, and retail investors followed suit one after another, as if reassured.

Even some big chaebols followed suit.

Cong Shan entertained himself, and after half a month, he quietly sold it.

This round of fast in and fast out, the floating profit is very impressive.

In the end, a small part of the equity was left, which can be advanced or retreated, and almost got a board seat for nothing.

Jiang Huai asked, "What does this mean?"

Cong Shan hugged him and kissed him, saying: "This means that we have won Cong Yue, and we can get married with peace of mind."
