Nine hundred and sixty-fifth missionaries pick the day
"Are you sure you can read the almanac?" Li Jinde asked in disbelief when he saw that his subordinates not only did not bring back the Feng Shui master, but instead brought back an old white-bearded missionary.
"In the early years of Xia Wanli, he came to the east with the fleet. He was familiar with the almanac here. He was not afraid to say that he was proficient in astronomy and knew the movement of the stars in the Zhoutian." The missionary Piro had to bite the bullet and become a Feng Shui master for the sake of Spanish silver dollars.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, that their missionaries were working in the imperial court's imperial prison, and they were even better at observing the celestial phenomena than ordinary Feng Shui masters." Roberts defended the old missionaries on the side.
Li Jinde was half-believing and half-doubted: "Which day do you think is suitable for getting married in the last month?"
Old Piro wore reading glasses, looked through the old calendar, pointing to one of the days: "Yi Hai, Jiashen month, Yimao day, it is advisable to marry, travel, and set up a bed..."
Li Jinde came to see the day the old missionary pointed at: "July 7th, isn't this the Qiqiao Festival?"
"The Book of Changes: Fu Gua says that the way is repeated, and the way is repeated for seven days, and the sky is moving. The woman comes from the West and lives a completely different life here in the future, that is, start over, and you have a new pursuit, which is in line with the cycle of the way of heaven. The number of seven and seven can be said to be in accordance with the will of heaven." Old Piro said confidently.
When Li Jinde saw that the old missionary analyzed the almanac and the Book of Changes, he did not doubt him. The most important thing was that the day he chose was very close, which made Li Jinde, who could not wait, feel acceptable.
"It's just that Qiqiao Festival is a women's festival. Does it seem strange to get married at this time?" Li Jinde asked worriedly.
"You are married to a Western woman, what's so strange about it..." Old Piro muttered.
"Shopkeeper, we all think this life is good!" Several subordinates seemed to have discussed it secretly and said together.
"Since that's the case, then set the marriage time to next month's Qiqiao Festival." Li Jinde thought that Qiqiao Festival would be a festive festival in the end and nothing happened.
The most important thing is to decide the marriage as soon as possible and give Salina a title. After all, he didn't know how excessive it would be after he got drunk last night.
"Let this missionary go back and give him some rewards. We'll wait until the Qiqiao Festival." Li Jinde said.
"Shopkeeper, are we going to prepare invitations, wedding candles and other items?" asked a married subordinate.
"Yes, I almost forgot. These are all headaches. We have met many people in the capital and will invite them at that time. Even the military leader has to send an invitation. Although he is busy, he will never come." Li Jinde had no connections in the capital, but his reputation has been gaining popularity for a while and he has been preparing for a Western company. Now he has met many businessmen and upstarts active in the capital.
"The person who invited the invitation may ask the shopkeeper to confirm it personally, but we can help the shopkeeper purchase festive items such as candles." Several subordinates volunteered.
"It's your fault." Li Jinde thought that getting married was really a headache, and it's a blessing that he has a group of subordinates who can help.
"Some colleagues in Western companies need invitations, and there is also an invitation to the military master's house symbolically..." Li Jinde was thinking about who needed to invite to participate in his marriage.
"Would you like to take Aunt Li to the capital? At that time, you will worship the heaven and earth, and then you will worship the high hall." An apprentice said.
"It's too late to go, and she might even become what she is when she comes... Let's just kill her first and then play..." Li Jinde was a little afraid of what kind of uproar would cause at the wedding if her mother arrived.
I'm afraid Aunt Li will become even more angry after realizing it... She had been following Li Jinde's subordinates long ago and said to her heart.
Li Jinde set the time to Qiqiao Festival and informed Salina.
Salina heard that she would get married next month, and she was a little shy and was full of interest in the origin of the Qiqiao Festival. This was the first time she knew about this festival. And she knew that behind every Eastern festival, there was an ancient story.
"Every year, the seventh day of the seventh month is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge. Women will look for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on both sides of the Milky Way under the moon, hoping to see their annual meeting, and beg God to make themselves as clever as the Weaver Girl, praying that they can have a happy and satisfactory marriage..." Li Jinde introduced to her ancient festivals that were found in the Han Dynasty.
"What a romantic festival. If you can get married on this day, you will definitely be happy." Salina does not understand the auspicious days of the lunar calendar, but she just feels that the story behind the Qiqiao Festival is extremely romantic and is extremely attractive to young women.
The missionary was quite powerful, at least he would think about the thoughts of the women in the Western world. Seeing that Salina was concerned about the story itself and ignored the hexagrams, Li Jinde thought in his heart that he would need to pay more attention to romanticism when dealing with the other party in the future.
"Can I invite Princess Sophia over on the wedding day?" Salina asked after Li Jinde made the wedding time clear.
"Of course, it would be a great thing if the princess of a country could attend our wedding banquet." Li Jinde said.
"And Mr. Chu, I begged him to help me stay..." Salina mentioned Chu Yun, and then seemed to realize something, and quickly kept silent.
"At that time, you asked the army leader to let you stay?" Li Jinde finally understood why Chu Yun stood up in time that day and asked Sir Greenville to keep Sir Slena. It turned out that it was Salina who pleaded with Chu Yun.
"You won't blame me, do you?" Salina said worriedly.
"Of course not. You should have told me directly at that time that I would keep you even if I beat Sir Greenville..." Li Jinde said this and found that the other party seemed to have become his father-in-law, and it seemed that he was not good to beat him.
"We also want to give Mr. Chu an invitation, he has helped us." Salina said.
"This is natural. Even if no one invites us, we will still invite the military leader. He is the benefactor of both of us. I am afraid that he will not care about our affairs every day. Even if he sends someone to give us a gift, it will be our honor." Li Jinde said.
"Yeah." Salina also knew that the two of them could not alarm a person like Chu Yun.
When Li Jinde reached the peak of his life, Chu Yun, whom they mentioned, came to a secret factory, a factory that crossed the ages, and did not even have a formal name. Only the engineers inside knew that the field they were studying was called aircraft.
