Chapter 267 Wedding
October 8th is a good day for marriage.
Wen Yan was woken up early in the morning. She even felt that she had not slept for five hours last night.
The first third generation of the Meng family to get married, the old man requested that the wedding must be held in the old house. Therefore, after careful consideration, the Wen family spent 200 million to buy a two-story courtyard house in Beijing.
The property certificate is written in Wen Yan’s name, and it serves as Wen Yan’s dowry.
The house was not far from the Meng family, so they did not take a wedding car. Instead, they actually built a sedan chair carried by eight people to welcome the bride into the house.
All the steps of the wedding were completed.
On the fourth day of October, the betrothal ceremony was held.
Since it was impossible to hunt wild geese now, Meng Qinghe went to a breeding farm in Kyoto and personally caught two geese that looked like a pair and brought them back to the Wen family.
Wen Yan hasn't seen Meng Qinghe since October. They said it was best for the couple not to meet a few days before their wedding. There was no other way. In order to complete the whole process, he had to be kept at home by his elders.
Seeing the two lively geese, Wen Yan smiled happily and teased them. When she couldn't see her loved ones, she could only tease them.
On the fifth day of October, ask for your name.
This part was written by an elder, asking about the woman's birth date and name, and also included a letter from Meng Qinghe to Wen Yan with some personal messages.
It was delivered personally by Meng Jiaqing early in the morning, and for this purpose he even took out his bicycle which he hadn't ridden for hundreds of years.
In the past, transportation was slow, mail was even slower, and a lifetime was only enough time to love one person.
Open the letter written by your loved one.
"There is a beautiful woman, I never forget her after seeing her. If I don't see her for a day, I miss her like crazy.
My dear, let me welcome you in."
In the afternoon, Wen Yi personally delivered the woman's reply letter. Wen Yan thought for a moment, then wrote a few words. "Here, send it to your brother-in-law."
Wen Yi was almost dying of jealousy from these two people. "Can't you just send messages on your phones? Just because we can't meet doesn't mean you can't send messages. We should have been following the proper procedures, but you two turned them into carrier pigeons."
"Are you the pigeon?" Wen Yan asked back, leaving Wen Yi speechless.
Well, he shouldn't talk too much.
He ran to the Meng family again. The Meng family opened the door to welcome the woman's reply.
After finishing the important work first, Wen Yi curled his lips under the expectant eyes of his brother-in-law and took out another letter.
Meng Qinghe didn't care about him. She picked up the letter and walked aside, then took it out and read it sweetly.
When he saw what Wen Yan wrote, the smile on his face suddenly deepened.
Meng Jiaqing and Wen Yi next to them shook their shoulders as they watched, "Tsk tsk, these two are so jealous."
There were only two sentences in the letter.
"There are trees on the mountain and branches on the trees. I love you but you don't know it."
Meng Qinghe was a little nervous in the days leading up to her wedding. All sorts of ridiculous scenarios popped up in her mind, such as running away from the marriage. Not to mention not being able to see anyone, which made her even more panicked.
After seeing Wen Yan's reply, he was quickly calmed down.
She has me in her heart, and so do I.
On the sixth day of October, Najib was skipped. After all, prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony are important. Feudal superstition is not acceptable.
The main reason is that Meng Qinghe feels that he and Wen Yan are the best match in the world, a perfect match.
Therefore, the sixth day is the day for proposing marriage.
Most of the guests came to watch the ceremony on the sixth day.
Close friends and relatives stayed at the homes of the newlyweds, while those who were more distant stayed in hotels.
The alley was bustling early in the morning. At nine o'clock, the betrothal gifts from the Meng family were sent out.
First, there was the betrothal gift, and above it was a share transfer document. Meng Qinghe transferred all of his assets to Wen Yan, including real estate and shares. In addition, as a token of the Meng family's sincerity in marrying a new bride, Meng's parents transferred 5% of Meng's shares to him.
Meng's is a company founded by Meng's uncle and father when they were young. Uncle Meng holds 55% of the shares. After Meng Jiaqing became an adult, he transferred 5% of the shares to him and 5% of the shares to his parents. Father Meng holds 30% of the shares, and he also transferred 5% of the shares to Meng Qinghe after he became an adult.
This means that Wen Yan now directly owns 10% of Meng's shares.
The house the old man gave was a house in Kyoto, which was the house he had bought for Meng Qinghe before. It was the newlyweds' home in Kyoto, not far from the old house. It was bought when Meng Jiaqing and Meng Qinghe were born.
Everyone present was dumbfounded. The Meng family was really willing to do this. They were not afraid that the bride would run away with the money. If the younger daughter-in-law was treated like this, then the eldest daughter-in-law, who actually had power over the Meng family's main company, would get even more. Everyone's eyes began to flicker.
Looking at Meng Jiaqing who came with Meng Qinghe to deliver the betrothal gifts, his eyes were burning with desire.
Of course, the Meng family is not stupid. There are rules in the share transfer agreement. If the relationship between the couple breaks down, if it is the man's fault, all the shares will be handed over to the woman for disposal. If it is the woman's fault, when they divorce, the man has the right to use the same amount of funds to exchange for the value of the shares.
As for the assets and real estate under Meng Qinghe's name, there are no such restrictions. The restrictions on Meng's equity are actually to ensure that the Meng family's company is not controlled by outsiders.
Meng Qinghe felt that the assets under his name added together might not be as rich as his wife's. Including the working capital of Meng's company, it was not as rich as Wen Yan's Yanhua Capital. Therefore, some rules can only be followed when the relationship between husband and wife is good.
If the two really divorce in the future, given their understanding of each other over the years, it shouldn't be a mess.
The Meng family's shares are certainly valuable, but Wen Yan is not really that rare. After all, she has more money than she can spend in her next lifetime.
As for Wen Yan's money, Meng Qinghe was not a money-minded person. His family education had destined him to be a gentleman who knew how to make money.
The other three items are two pairs of chickens, two males and two females, and pork weighing three to five pounds, served in pairs, that is, one piece connected and two separated, to express sincere respect for the abundance.
The old man specially took out four bottles of 40-year-old Moutai.
Fruit, fish, coconut, four kinds of fruit, and four-color candy.
Tea, sesame.
Two dou of rice, twelve jin of glutinous rice, and three jin and two liang of sugar are used to make glutinous rice balls. Wen Yan eats glutinous rice balls before getting married to achieve perfection.
On the seventh day of October, the dowry is delivered.
Leading the way were two wild geese, the pair sent by Meng Qinghe. Wen Yi had been taking care of these two geese for the most part, keeping them inside even when he slept, to prevent them from flying away. To prevent any mishaps at the wedding due to them, Wen Yi had been watching over them like ancestors for the past two days.
Then there were the betrothal gifts, real estate shares, etc. given by the Meng family. The Wen family had no intention of keeping any of their daughter's betrothal gifts.
The Wen family has grown rapidly in the past two years. Although the shares are not valuable, before Wen Yan got married, Wen Mingxiu and Yu Qiu called the siblings together and agreed that the family money would belong to both of them in the future without favoring either of them.
The Wen family and the Yu family did business, and the three siblings finally divided the profits equally. Wen Yan, as the only girl in the family, took 40%, and the two boys each took 30%.
Although no one is interested in this money, after all, let alone Wen Yan, Wen Yi is a top star, and Yu Hua is doing very well in Yanhua Capital. In the year when Yu Hua graduated from university, as an older sister, she transferred 3% of Yanhua Capital's shares to each of her two younger brothers, mainly as pocket money.
In addition, if Yu Hua becomes the president, he will also have power and shares.
So no one cared about the money at home.
The most eye-catching item in the dowry was the gold bars that Yu Hua and Wen Yi specially exchanged.
Neither of them was short of money. Yu Hua was doing very well in the financial market, so he and Wen Yi each exchanged 50 million gold bars.
Piled on boxes, rich and charming.
The guests' eyes were fixed on the pile of gold.
The two brothers were very proud of this. "Sister, see, this is the charm of gold. Gold will never depreciate. The day when antiques can be sold like cabbage, gold will never be."
All that's left are clothes and bedding.
In fact, all the guests knew that the focus was not on the superficial dowry, but on the bride herself, after all, she was holding the gold mine of Yanhua Capital.
