Chapter 227: Hao Ji's affair is over, Zhao Li makes money (13)
In the Ming Dynasty, the powerful and wealthy were a privileged class.
The status of other classes is strictly arranged according to the standards of "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans".
For example, the community where Su Mingzhe lives in this sea view villa was defined as an official residence in the early stages of its construction.
What does that mean?
What this means is that if you are rich but do not hold a government-level position, no matter how much money you spend, you are not allowed to buy such a sea view villa.
This sea view villa is priced at over 100 million yuan in the same location in Shanghai.
When Su Mingzhe bought it, he only spent 20 million.
This is the privileged class.
Of course, the so-called privileged class only feels oppressive towards Julie, an ordinary person.
For people like Zhao Li and Xia Dongqing, the privileged class is of no use at all and they don't need to care about it at all.
A few people started chatting and talking about all sorts of things.
Su Mingzhe was getting married in ten days, and the topic came up at the wedding.
"Azhe, where will your wedding be held?"
"We'll do it in both places. Beijing is indispensable. I also promised Ah Xiu that we'll do it here as well."
As the grandson of the Duke's Mansion, Su Mingzhe is getting married, and most of the powerful people in Yanjing City will attend.
Such a scene must be huge.
Su Mingzhe’s friends in the Shanghai Stock Exchange are mainly classmates.
To put it bluntly, even though I invited them to participate, they themselves couldn't let go.
After all, the gap in status is too great.
After Su Mingzhe and Su Wenxiu discussed it, they decided to hold the wedding in two places.
Zhu Li suddenly asked, "Aren't Ah Xiu's relatives going over?"
"Part of the past."
Su Wenxiu's Su family is considered a scholarly family in Shanghai, that is, the "scholars" among the "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans".
Although a scholarly family is not as good as a powerful family, it is still pretty good.
At the very least, the contemporary Duke of Yan, Su Mingzhe's grandfather, agreed to the marriage between the two families.
Although Su Mingzhe doesn’t care about his parents’ attitude now.
However, marriages with the consent and blessing of elders have a greater chance of being happy.
Ten days passed quickly.
Su Mingzhe took Su Wenxiu and some of the Su family's relatives to Yanjing to attend his first wedding.
This wedding was held at the Duke of Yan's Mansion.
The guests who came to the wedding really lived up to that saying.
The whole family is rich and powerful, and all of them are scholars.
Ordinary business partners want to come to the banquet.
The Su family’s response was, sorry, the place is too small and we can’t accommodate so many guests.
Finally, the Su family rented a restaurant nearby to entertain these business partners.
As a bride, Su Wenxiu did not need to go through too many complicated etiquettes according to ancient customs.
As the groom, Su Mingzhe had to follow his father to entertain the guests.
The male guests of Su Wenxiu's family were arranged in the main hall, and the female guests were arranged in the backyard.
At first, with the warm hospitality of Su Mingzhe's family, the family chatted with the relatives and friends who came to offer their blessings and talked about family matters, and they felt quite comfortable.
When the auspicious time of dusk arrived and it was time to worship heaven and earth, the emperor of that day sent a couplet saying 'harp and zither sound in harmony, two people fly side by side'.
At this moment, Su Wenxiu's family could no longer remain calm.
Although it has undergone several reforms, the kowtow ceremony is no longer popular.
However, Su Mingzhe and Su Wenxiu received the emperor's blessings and had to bow and thank him towards the direction of the palace.
On the second day after the wedding, Su Mingzhe took Su Wenxiu to the Forbidden City to express his gratitude.
The emperor and queen held a banquet and treated the two to a lunch.
Su Wenxiu was so excited that she took out her cell phone and took a photo with the emperor and the queen.
After leaving the Forbidden City, if Su Mingzhe hadn't stopped her, she would have posted it on WeChat Moments to show off.
Afterwards, the two returned to Shanghai and held another wedding.
This wedding was not as grand as the one in Yanjing, but the relatives and friends who came to congratulate were all ordinary people, so there was no need to be so restrained.
After the wedding, Su Wenxiu returned to the wedding room and immediately hugged the man:
"Husband, getting married once and holding two weddings, aren't you tired?"
"Okay."
This is not the first time Su Mingzhe has been married. He has been married several times in previous worlds. Although it is a bit tiring, he's used to it.
"Hey, I'm really tired, please help me take off my clothes."
Su Wenxiu is now wearing the phoenix crown and bridal robe bestowed by the current emperor. It is very heavy. The clothes and jewelry together weigh a full six kilograms.
It took more than half an hour to put on my makeup and dress.
Su Mingzhe helped take it off bit by bit and put it on the dressing table.
After taking off her wedding dress, Su Wenxiu was held by the man and took a hot bath. Only then did she feel much more relaxed.
"Honey, what are you doing?"
Su Wenxiu didn't expect that she would be thrown onto the bed by the man while her hair was still wet.
"After taking a shower, you promised me that we would sleep together."
Su Mingzhe looked innocent. It was clearly the daughter-in-law who agreed to it just now. She wouldn't go back on her word, right?
Su Wenxiu looked shy, and quickly pushed the man away, took out her casual clothes from the closet and put them on, then smiled and said:
"Hubby, have you forgotten that my parents-in-law are still here? You don't want me, the new daughter-in-law, to leave a bad impression on them right after I get married, right?"
"Tsk, they're eager for it. They urged us to get married and have kids before we even graduated. How could they blame you for this now?"
Although Su Mingzhe said this, it was difficult for him to force his wife, so he had to accompany her to change her clothes and go downstairs.
Su Mingzhe's parents are still alive in this life and are in very good health, all thanks to the good care of Yang Yunu, Sanqi and Zhinu.
"Dad, mom."
Su Wenxiu saw two elderly people sitting on the sofa, chatting with some guests, and hurried over to greet them. "Hey, why are you guys here? Didn't Xiaozhe say he was tired and wanted to rest?"
Su Mingzhe's biological mother definitely felt sorry for her son. When she saw her son's disapproving look, she immediately understood what was going on.
"Mom, I'm not tired."
Su Mingzhe wanted to say that he was tired, but after Su Wenxiu glared at him, he had to lie against his will.
Su Mingzhe's biological mother couldn't say anything when she saw her son being controlled by his daughter-in-law.
Now that her son is married, she, as his mother, can no longer pamper him as she did before.
Su Mingzhe took Su Wenxiu aside and introduced several guests to her again.
These people are all powerful people in Shanghai and old relatives of the Su family. Although the relationship is a bit distant, they still interact frequently.
When he graduated, his family gave Su Mingzhe a sinecure position as "Du Langwei" in the government.
At that time, Su Mingzhe went to visit these relatives.
A few people sat and chatted for a while, and then felt that it was about time, so they said goodbye and left.
Su Mingzhe's parents also found excuses and went to other places to rest instead of staying in this sea view villa.
It would definitely be inconvenient for a newlywed couple to have their parents-in-law live next to them.
Sure enough, after seeing her parents-in-law off, Su Wenxiu felt much more relaxed.
After getting married, Su Mingzhe took Su Wenxiu out for a trip.
The two of them traveled all over the world, saying that they were going to experience exotic customs, but in fact they were just eating, drinking and having fun everywhere, enjoying the wonderful life on vacation.
After the honeymoon, Su Mingzhe and Su Wenxiu began to live a normal life again, only occasionally going out to party with friends on weekends.
On this day, a group of people gathered in the sea view villa that Zhao Li had just rented, and the topic returned to the incident when Zhao Li was arrested.
"Zhao Li, who wants to harm you?"
"Hideyoshi Toyotomi's adopted daughter, Gouji, and Tsuchimikado Ichiro."
When Zhao Li talked about this, he felt a little unhappy:
"The puppet inside is Hao Ji, and Tsuchimikado Ichiro is Dr. Lin from Qingshan Hospital. They hid in Qingshan Hospital to conduct human experiments in order to create a new body for Hao Ji. It happened that I was in charge of the soul ferry work nearby, so I got into a fight with them."
"Has that Tsuchimikado Ichiro been caught?"
"No, he has not shown up since he ran away that night. I suspect he has left Shanghai."
Zhao Li felt very upset because he failed to catch the murderer who murdered him.
Today, there are more than 50 Han Chinese countries on this earth, with a Han Chinese population of more than 4 billion, accounting for half of the total population of the earth.
Although Ichiro Tsuchimikado is a Japanese, he can speak Chinese and is no different from the Han people. It is extremely difficult to find him among four billion people.
"don’t worry."
When Su Mingzhe heard that Zhao Li had not yet caught the man, he gave an idea:
"Here's what I think. Although this Tsuchimikado Ichiro has left Aoyama Hospital, I guess he will most likely still use the identity of a doctor after he escapes to other places. Now the information of doctors around the world can be found on the Internet. If we compare them, we should be able to find some clues."
"This is a good idea."
Zhao Li's eyes lit up and he quickly took out his Apple phone and started searching online.
There are 17 million registered doctors in the world with a population of 8 billion.
Select Male.
Select your age.
Select a relevant major.
Soon, after layers of screening, the list in Zhao Li's hand was reduced to only more than 2,000 people.
Looking for one person among eight billion people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But finding one person among two thousand people is too easy for a thousand-year-old ghost catcher like Zhao Li.
Soon the next day, the soul ferryman from a nearby city provided Zhao Li with information that there was a suspicious doctor in his jurisdiction.
Zhao Li took Wang Xiaoya and Sanqi and drove directly over to check it out.
I have to say, this Ichiro Tsuchimikado is really cunning.
As soon as Zhao Li and his two companions arrived at the hospital, he realized that something was wrong and fled without any hesitation.
Fortunately, Sanqi had the ability to see through illusions, so he transformed into his true form and carried Zhao Li and Wang Xiaoya on his back to track them in the sky.
The chase lasted for more than a hundred kilometers.
Ran from one city to another.
Ichiro Tsuchimikado thought he was safe in the new hideout, and just as he was breathing a sigh of relief, he was blocked at the door by Zhao Li and his two companions.
Needless to say, the outcome of the battle.
Wang Xiaoya, the weakest among the three, can completely defeat Tsuchimikado Ichiro.
Facing three people, Ichiro Tsuchimikado didn't even have the ability to resist and was beheaded directly.
Zhao Li finally got his revenge, but he was not at ease.
To be precise, Zhao Li has been very short of money recently.
Shortly after Xia Dongqing resigned, the No. 444 convenience store in that area was demolished.
Household owners like Zhu Li's family lost two houses and received a large sum of demolition compensation.
However, small business owners like Zhao Li who rent shops only received tens of thousands of yuan in compensation.
This amount of money is not enough to cover the decoration cost of his new store.
In addition, Zhao Li spent his daily life eating, drinking and having fun, and was a groom every night, so he didn't save any money. Therefore, after the convenience store was demolished, Zhao Li had been living off his savings.
Zhao Li was not an honest man and he soon came up with some crooked ideas.
Just like the plot, the roadside telephone poles are covered with small advertisements for "exorcism".
In order to maintain his own image and avoid being recognized when visiting nightclubs, Zhao Li also borrowed Xia Dongqing's photos and contact information.
Because there are so many flyers posted, Xia Dongqing receives 10 to 20 consultation calls every day.
Xia Dongqing was so annoyed that he complained to his girlfriend Zhu Li.
Zhu Li complained to Su Wenxiu again.
When Su Wenxiu returned home, she inevitably asked Su Mingzhe who this Zhao Li was.
"This Zhao Li is going too far."
After Su Mingzhe heard about this from Su Wenxiu, he also began to stand up for Xia Dongqing.
Su Wenxiu's expression changed slightly. She looked at her boyfriend and asked, "Honey, I heard that Xia Dongqing can really see ghosts. Is that true?"
