Ye Mingcheng consulted a master to determine an auspicious day. He gave the master the birth dates of Ye Tong and Tian Tian and paid two hundred silver dollars to calculate the auspicious day, the 28th day of the first lunar month.
"There won't be such an auspicious day again for the next three years. Getting married on this day will surely bring prosperity to your descendants, good health and longevity to your elders, a loving and devoted marriage to the newlyweds, a thriving career, successful children, a prosperous family, and wealth through harmony..."
The master said a lot of auspicious words, and Ye Mingcheng was so pleased that he couldn't stop smiling. Originally, it only cost one hundred dollars, but he voluntarily added another hundred. The master was so happy that he revealed his business secret for free: "You have to book the hotel now. Don't wait until you're about to do the business, or it will be too late."
"Impossible. There are so many hotels in Pingjiang City, at least several thousand. There are still almost three months until the 28th of the first lunar month. There's plenty of time." Ye Mingcheng felt that this was a bit of an exaggeration.
"This day is an auspicious day that you won't get to experience for the next three years or so. Many people rush to get married on this day. If you believe me, I'll book the banquet right now." The master smiled mysteriously. If it weren't for the hundred silver dollars, he wouldn't have been so kind.
Recently, he has been telling all the newlyweds who come to him for fortune telling that the 28th day of the first lunar month is the best day for them. Although he is a charlatan, he still has professional ethics. The 28th day of the first lunar month is indeed an auspicious day, suitable for both weddings and funerals. Other days are not necessarily so. Therefore, charlatans like him usually tell people to hold their weddings on this day.
Even if you're swindling money, you have to be able to do it with a clear conscience. You can't cheat people. You have to act with a conscience, and the same goes for charlatans.
Seeing the master's confident assurances, Ye Mingcheng believed him and called Ye Qingqing, asking her to book the banquet.
"Okay, I'll take care of the banquet. Jinjiang Hotel will handle it." Ye Qingqing readily agreed, as she had already planned to hold the banquet at Jinjiang Hotel.
Although Jinjiang Hotel is not the most luxurious, it is the most prestigious. The government holds banquets for VIPs at this hotel, so ordinary people are not qualified to hold banquets here. Only people with status and position can make reservations.
Ye Tong is a world champion with a high enough status, and with Lu Mo's social standing, the Jinjiang Hotel is definitely not a problem.
"Has Xiaotong come back yet?" Ye Qingqing asked.
"Not yet. I called a couple of days ago and they said they won't be back until next month. Sweetie is coming back around that time too."
"They didn't go out to play, did they?" Ye Qingqing thought it was highly likely.
Ye Tong is fine now. Tian Tian has quit her job abroad and is still arranging her job in China. She's currently in a break, so the young couple must have gone on an early honeymoon.
Ye Mingcheng laughed, "They did go out to have fun, but they didn't say where they went. Let them be. They're getting married soon, let them have as much fun as they want."
Ye Qingqing then inquired about the new house. The new house was a villa arranged by the government for Ye Tong, making him a neighbor of Master Nie. Ye Tong had entrusted all his bonuses over the years to Ye Qingqing to manage. She asked her cousin Sang Liangping to help invest, and the investment multiplied several times. Ye Qingqing also bought several properties for her younger brother because Ye Tong did not want the property left by Xu Yali. He was no longer as naive as he was when he was a child and knew a lot of things.
Therefore, Ye Tong refused to sign the property transfer agreement, saying that he could earn money on his own and that Ye Qingqing should leave the property to Xiao Zhu and the others, as he didn't want it.
Ye Qingqing didn't force him, so she bought another property and put it in Ye Tong's name. Ye Tong was someone she had raised herself. Although he was her younger brother, she treated him like her son, just like Xiao Zhu and the others. Naturally, she had to make proper arrangements for him.
