Chapter 1054 New Clothes, New People and New House

Tianmen City also had illustrated storybooks in the past, such as classic novels such as Water Margin, Romance of the West Chamber, and Investiture of the Gods.

However, most of them are text with illustrations, and there are very few pictures, and the painting skills are not satisfactory.

Really good paintings, such as physiological knowledge education manuals, are generally not available on the market and are only collected in the study rooms of wealthy families.

It is a high-end luxury product.

The comics published in Huanyu magazine were not only exquisitely drawn and vividly plotted, but also available in large quantities and with precise targeting of target customer groups, which immediately opened up the Tianmen market.

But the layout of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce goes far beyond this.

In this month, more than ten Federal films with additional Chinese subtitles were introduced into the country and screened in theaters. The content of these films is also varied, including the grudges and revenge of cowboys in the West, the entrepreneurial history of overseas Chinese, and various comedies and romances.

It immediately became a trend and the entrance of the Grand Theatre was crowded with people every day.

According to newspaper reports, a song and dance troupe will arrive in Tianmen by boat next month, and by then it will surely set off a new wave of fashion trends.

Under the successive rounds of information saturation bombardment, the people of Laotianmen were confused and stunned.

This is good news for Wang Yunxiao. He can ask Li Mumu to go to the movies without having to rack his brains over the time and place for every date.

When a girl says "whatever" to you, she doesn't mean that you can really choose whatever you want, but that you should eliminate the things that you are tired of eating and playing with in the past and come up with something new for her.

After returning to school, Wang Yunxiao rested in the dormitory for half a month with a legitimate reason, took the graduation exam, and successfully obtained his diploma.

This means that his junior high school life has officially ended, and another major event in his life has also been put on the agenda.

Go to Li Mumu's home for a visit.

In the past half month, the Navy has completed the first half of the three matchmaking and six hiring process for him.

That is to propose marriage, ask for the name, propose the good luck and propose the betrothal gift.

In layman's terms, it means going to the other party's home to propose marriage, asking the woman's name and date of birth, asking a fortune teller to calculate whether there are any conflicts between the husband and wife, and then sending the betrothal gifts to the door.

In ancient times, there were many considerations for betrothal gifts. Now that we live in a new society, those complicated and cumbersome customs are not encouraged, so everything should be kept simple.

The navy is wealthy and straightforward, and the betrothal gifts they offer to Wang Yunxiao are all very generous.

Twenty jars each of four kinds of fruits, four kinds of sugar, Shaoxing yellow, and lotus white.

Twenty boxes of dried scallops and sea cucumbers, and one hundred kilograms of glutinous rice and red beans.

Two buckets of pearls, twenty strings of coral and beeswax, eighteen sets of gold and silver jewelry, a cloisonné enamel dressing box, and ten kilograms of gold bricks.

When Wang Yunxiao saw the list, he was completely shocked.

is this necessary?

It’s not that Miss Li is not worth the price. To put it bluntly, her family really can afford these few things.

But I'm not worth the price!
Am I really not the Marshal's illegitimate son? Isn't the treatment you give me a bit excessive?
The navy said, don't worry about this matter, this is not your own face, but the face of the navy.

Besides, to put it another way, these things are actually nothing in the eyes of the navy.

Seafood such as scallops, sea cucumbers, pearls, corals, etc....if placed in other places, they are indeed valuable treasures and can be put on the table.

It's really nothing in the Navy.

If it wasn't for the sake of keeping a low profile, yes, it was because Boss Mu strongly requested that we keep a low profile and not make a big fuss and be talked about behind our backs.

Things like scallops and sea cucumbers can be counted by tons, and we drive trucks to their homes to deliver them.

This is purely for the sake of auspiciousness.

Now that the betrothal gifts are in place, the next step according to the formal process is the engagement date.

Boss Mu did not give in on this matter and insisted on letting the children make their own decision.

This is also the reason why Wang Yunxiao himself must go there.

After half a month of "rest", it seems that some results have been discussed. Wang Yunxiao is no longer of much use at this time, and he can finally get rid of the wheelchair and plaster and regain his freedom.

Wang Yunxiao was a little uncomfortable at first when he put on his new navy uniform in front of the mirror.

In the past, the uniforms of the police and secret service were mainly black, with long trench coats, and they also had to wear helmets and armor, which looked fierce and awe-inspiring.

The navy uniform is of a different style, with a blue-black suit-style jacket and trousers, double-breasted buttons, a white flannel shirt and dark tie, a white wide-brimmed military cap and black leather boots.

It looks casual and simple, yet elegant. After all, the navy is a high-level technical branch of the military, and cannot be compared with those cannon fodders on land.

When we walked out of the school gate, Uncle Zou, the driver of Li Mumu's family, had already parked the car across the street.

Seeing Wang Yunxiao coming over, he nodded and smiled, "Son-in-law looks better in this outfit."

Wang Yunxiao was puzzled and asked, "Didn't the previous one look good?"

I think that uniform is pretty cool.

Uncle Zou shook his head and said, "The previous ones were not good. They were too evil and not very human. This is so decent."

Wang Yunxiao thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

In the past, I had to deal with all kinds of demons and evil spirits every day. In addition to its practical value, the more important function of the equipment was to deter those who practiced evil.

Sometimes he gets splashed with blood and can't wash it off. That's because Li Mumu doesn't mind the pig's blackness. If it were anyone else, they would have been unable to bear it long ago.

"Please take me to the mall in front so I can buy some things."

"The boss told you not to bring anything with you. Just arrive."

"That being said..."

"Don't bother with these nonsense now. The important thing is to set a date as soon as possible."

"That's fine."

Since his future father-in-law had said so, Wang Yunxiao couldn't pretend anymore.

Not long after getting in the car, Wang Yunxiao frowned.

"Uncle Zou, where are we going?"

Didn’t you say you were going straight home? Why are you taking the wrong route?
"The boss moved to a new place. Didn't he tell you?"

???

It is understandable that Boss Mu wanted to move to a new house. His house was already quite crowded. It was okay when Li Mumu was not at home before, but now not only has Li Mumu moved back with her maid, but they also have a second daughter. The original house is indeed a bit cramped.

But Li Mumu, you are so tight-lipped. You haven't told me anything these days.

"Where do they live now?"

"Over at the Hexi Racecourse."

Wang Yunxiao nodded. It was one of the few good locations in Nantong District.

It turned out that the land was a meadow, and the troops stationed in Tianmen Prefecture raised horses here, so the locals called it a horse farm.

Fifty years ago, it was designated as a concession for foreigners, who spent a lot of money on construction there. Small Western-style buildings of various styles are side by side, so it is also called the International Conference Hall.

After the foreigners left, the land was abandoned for a while. Later, the president made the economy in Tianmen prosperous, and wealthy businessmen from all over the country gathered here, driving up the price of the land a lot.

Later, when the new government was established, many old people from the previous dynasty also moved here.

I wouldn’t say that every inch of land is worth a lot of money, but at least it is low-key, luxurious and full of connotation.

Given Boss Mu's current wealth and status, it is only natural for him to move here.

However, Wang Yunxiao's outfit seemed a bit shabby in that place.

Those pedantic scholars and literary men who had enjoyed great glory in the previous dynasties could not bear to see the soldiers showing off their might in such a way.

When Wang Yunxiao got off the car when he arrived at the place, he saw a huge mansion of several hundred square meters, a three-story white villa, green lawns in front and back, and even gardeners and doormen... The level of the house was immediately raised.

"Boss Mu has hired a lot of people again."

"Not much. Aunt Wu is now in charge of taking care of the Madam's daily life. She has also hired a cook, and there are a few little maids who take care of the Second Miss."

Uncle Zou whispered, "This would have been nothing in the past, but now there are new regulations. Otherwise, given the boss's wealth, it would have been much more than this."

Did you hire a few maids to take care of the second young lady?

Hearing this, Wang Yunxiao suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
