Shen Bing and I are getting engaged soon!
After this impulsive marriage robbery, our reservedness was finally broken. The phrase "I don't like you, you bumpkin" became a thing of the past. Now Shen Bing's words are: "You bumpkin, if you don't say the three words 'I love you', you can never have a chance to eat my swan meat!"
Damn, she's not modest at all.
In order to make the story of the toad and the swan become a "Wulin" legend, I shamelessly uttered the three words "I love you".
Although these three words were so vague and almost like a confession under torture, the girl was still very happy and asked my mother to let us get engaged. This is Shen Bing, a simple and happy person!
I have already mentioned the word engagement. That is what people in the city call it. In our countryside, it is called engagement. Originally, here, we would ask the matchmaker to deliver the betrothal gift, then bring back the return gift, and treat the matchmaker to a meal, and that would be considered the ceremony. But I am betrothing a swan, so it cannot be that simple.
Shen Bing notified her relatives and friends to come over. Among them, there was only one relative, the uncle I once joked about, Zhang Yunfeng. In addition, her college classmates and police colleagues, of course, Long Shaohui, Lao Yan and Lu Fei were also present.
I discussed with her that since so many people came from the provincial capital, we should hold a banquet in the county town, but she shook her head and said that when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so we held it in Shangcheng Town. Fortunately, Fan Xiaobing, this loser, had laid a good foundation before, and there was a decent hotel in the town. Although it was run by a new person, it was not much worse than before.
For the date of engagement, I looked up some Maoshan divination, which is my weak point and I have never learned much. According to our birth dates and the auspicious days of this month, the sixth day of the sixth lunar month was chosen, which is auspicious, good for marriage, groundbreaking and sacrifice.
On June 6, my mother also dressed very fashionably, which was all Shen Bing's masterpiece. We also invited neighbors, as well as high school classmates such as Wang Zijun and Qu Mo. They came to help early in the morning. Qu Mo seemed very happy. I couldn't see any displeasure on her face, which made me feel strange. Maybe my buddy was wishful thinking before, always thinking that all beautiful women would like me. However, I am not bragging. The three women in my life who liked me, Yaxue, Shen Bing, and Fu Xueman, take these three girls for example, which one is not a beauty
Fu Xueman is a little lower in class, but she is also the beauty of our town!
Zhang Yunfeng called us a long time ago. The relatives and friends from the provincial capital set off at 7am and were expected to arrive at around 10am. Long Shaohui didn't come this time. He might have felt ashamed for his own interests and for persuading Shen Bing to marry Gao Song. He was too embarrassed to come and see us. In fact, we had forgiven him a long time ago. After all, he had no choice. Besides, he always regarded Shen Bing as a relative, took care of her and protected her. He also helped me more than once. In general, he was a good person.
The hotel had a large wedding hall with ten banquet tables set up. It was already 10 a.m., and we were just waiting for the bride's relatives and friends to arrive. We all stood outside the hotel and chatted.
An elderly Taoist priest in a gray robe and a Taoist hat came from nowhere and passed by the hotel entrance. Although my family is an orthodox Taoist disciple, we have never been associated with Taoists. We can only be considered lay disciples. To be honest, I have never even been to a Taoist temple.
