Chapter 639 Wedding Invitation
Chapter 639 Wedding Invitation
After having a meal at Fang’s house, Cheng Xuyuan and Meng Fanjin discussed the time of the wedding.
In Meng Fanjin’s opinion, since the two of them have already obtained their marriage certificate, the sooner the wedding is held, the better.
The two young men could not help themselves and their daughter was already pregnant when she got married.
That’s not a good thing to say.
What’s more, October is better than winter anyway.
Cheng Xuyuan also had no objection to this time.
However, after the wedding date was set, Cheng Xuyuan started to get busy.
After all, there is only a little over a month left until the wedding.
In the past month or so, he had a lot to prepare.
Fortunately, the house and other things are already there, so all we have to do is clean them up.
As for other items, he had no shortage of them as he had a lot of foreign exchange coupons in his hands.
The most important thing for him now is to invite the guests for the wedding and send out the invitations.
For ordinary people, this is naturally a concern of the elderly in the family.
However, Cheng Xuyuan was not familiar with Cheng Jiaxing, his current friend, so Cheng Xuyuan had to handle this matter by himself.
Cheng Jiaxing could only arrange the wedding in his hometown.
Fortunately, his main friends now are in Yanjing, so sending invitations is quite easy.
With the start of the new semester, Cheng Xuyuan’s wedding invitations began to appear in the hands of many people.
For example, Mr. Wan and Zhang Guangnian, many of them began to receive invitations from Cheng Xuyuan.
The Yenching Literature and Art Editorial Department, which has been renamed Yenching Literature, is still a place that many young literary people yearn for.
Manuscripts poured in from all directions.
So there are a few new faces in the editorial department.
Zhang Dening, who had already started to take charge of some work on his own, put down the manuscript in his hand and said to Liu Heng who was sitting opposite him: “Have you heard the result of the literature award?”
Liu Heng smiled and said, “I heard that they have been chosen.”
While speaking, he whispered about several works, and then continued: “This time, I have to congratulate Cheng Xuyuan.”
Zhang Dening smiled and said, “This guy has double happiness this time. I heard that he is sending invitations everywhere.”
Liu Heng said with a hint of envy: “Getting married and winning an award is really a double blessing.”
“He chose a good time to get married.”
Zhang Dening asked, “Have you heard who he sent the invitations to?”
“Master Wan, and Director Xie, and…”
In one breath, Liu Heng mentioned seven or eight people to whom Cheng Xuyuan had sent invitations, and each of them was very famous.
After saying this, he asked with a hint of doubt: “Why are you asking this?”
“Now I heard some people say that if you can’t get an invitation to Cheng Xuyuan’s wedding, don’t call yourself a famous person.” Zhang Dening said leisurely.
Hearing this, Liu Heng smiled and said, “I need you to be absolutely sure of what you said.”
“Whether a famous person is famous or not, what does it have to do with this wedding invitation?”
“The invitations Cheng Xuyuan sent were all for relatives and friends. How could he say that?”
Zhang Dening also said: “Yes, some people are just so boring.”
“But I also think that this statement makes some sense.”
“Look, those who were invited by Cheng Xuyuan to attend the wedding, for example…”
After saying a few names, she said solemnly: “Which of these people is not a great achievement.”
At this point, she suddenly whispered, “Do you think our two editors-in-chief can also be invited?”
Liu Heng was a person who didn’t like to talk about things behind others’ backs. But when Zhang Dening said that, he immediately started to think quickly.
After a while, he said, “I think I should be invited.”
“After all, both of them, whether in terms of achievements or…”
Just as Liu Heng was speaking, he heard a knock on the door.
He casually stopped what he was about to say and said “Come in” to the outside. As he said this, Liu Heng saw Cheng Xuyuan walking towards him with a smile on his face.
In his hands, he was holding a few red invitation cards.
When Liu Heng saw Cheng Xuyuan, he was startled. After all, he had just talked about this person’s marriage, but he didn’t expect that he would come directly over.
This is really like speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao will appear.
Because of what happened just now with Cheng Xuyuan, Liu Heng didn’t know how to greet Cheng Xuyuan for a moment.
But Zhang Dening smiled and said, “Cheng Xuyuan, you still remember to come.”
“You’re getting married, which is such a big thing, but you didn’t even come and tell us about it. Are you a good friend?”
Facing Zhang Dening’s question, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, “Didn’t I send you an invitation, Dening?”
“Please take time out of your busy schedule to attend my wedding on that day.” As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan handed over an invitation.
The invitation card is actually words written on red paper. At that time, unlike later generations, there were printed wedding invitations that were exquisite and convenient.
Zhang Dening took the invitation and looked at his name written neatly on the red paper. A smile immediately appeared on his face.
Although she didn’t quite believe that receiving Cheng Xuyuan’s wedding invitation was a recognition of her status.
However, the fact that Cheng Xuyuan sent her a wedding invitation still made her feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
No matter what, this is a recognition of myself.
She smiled and said, “Xuyuan, congratulations!”
“I will definitely go there when the time comes.”
While thanking him, Cheng Xuyuan asked, “Is Teacher Zou here?”
“Teacher Zou is out for a meeting today. Just give me the invitation and I’ll pass it on for you.” Zhang Dening said this and then continued, “Both editors-in-chief are here today. I’ll take you there.”
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, “Then I’ll trouble De Ning.”
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Dening returned to his office with a happy face.
Liu Heng looked at Zhang Dening, who was full of joy, and said with a smile: “De Ning, congratulations, not only did you receive a marriage invitation from Cheng Xuyuan, but it was also sent by him personally.”
“Amazing!”
Zhang Dening waved his hand gently and said, “Cheng Xuyuan and I are old friends. How could he not invite me to his wedding?”
“You know I was the one who sent him his first novel, right?”
Liu Heng smiled and said, “I remember that Cheng Xuyuan’s first work was published more than three years ago.”
“Come to think of it, when I looked up Cheng Xuyuan’s information some time ago, I couldn’t believe it was true.”
“After all, he has written so many works now. When I mention him, I feel that he is an old author who has been writing for many years.”
After expressing his feelings to Liu Heng and Cheng Xuyuan, Zhang Dening opened the invitation sent to him.
Although it was just handwritten, the names of Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing were so obvious on it.
When seeing this name, Zhang Dening thought of his good friend Shen Yumo.
What kind of mood is Shen Yumo in at this moment?
Did she know about Cheng Xuyuan’s marriage? Did she see the wedding invitation? And…
Thinking of what happened between Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo, she sighed helplessly.
