Chapter 118: Everyone's Ladies Are Beautiful
Sister-in-law Xie Wanyan has received a knowledgeable education since she was a child.
This makes her never find fault with others, her personality is gentle and tolerant, and she can make each other feel comfortable with anyone she gets along with.
It's not graceful and luxurious, but it has a bit of the bearing of the old lady in charge.
Perhaps, after a few years, when you get older, you will be graceful.
After chatting, let's get to the point, tonight is Luo Jia'an's banquet for his sister.
Eating is always a science.
Who to eat with, why to eat, what to say when you eat...... All to consider.
Dinner is a very elaborate social occasion.
The Locke brothers and sisters don't just sit together for family affection.
Luo Jia'an and sister-in-law Xie Wanyan both like Chinese food, and the dinner is naturally Chinese food.
This is something that the guest can do as he pleases.
Lu Xiaochuan was a little surprised, you know, what kind of Renaissance-style manor this is, but Luo Jia'an built it specifically for his sister-in-law.
The day it was built was the time when the sister-in-law entered the door.
Back then, in Binhai, it was also the most romantic thing.
Therefore, the aesthetics of this manor naturally cater to the preferences of the sister-in-law.
A lady who likes Renaissance style, in terms of food, it is inevitable that people will misunderstand that she prefers Western food.
Following Luo Xingwan's employer, Lu Xiaochuan also participated in several business activities, and the number of Western meals was more.
As soon as the freshness at the beginning passed, Lu Xiaochuan felt uncomfortable, troublesome, and not very palatable.
At the beginning of the banquet, Luo Jia'an asked the maid to take out a bottle of liquor, the kind that is very old, and there are a lot of exquisiteness.
The atmosphere of the dinner suddenly relaxed.
"Shanshan, you have to have two drinks with your eldest brother tonight, Xiaochuan is still injured. ”
Luo Jia'an squeezed her eyes at her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, "Usually your sister-in-law is strict and doesn't let me drink liquor, you two are here, I have a chance to relax." ”
Luo Xingwan laughed when he heard it, Lu Xiaochuan's expression was a little unsuitable, but it was also in line with his character who had not seen too much of the world.
Sister-in-law Xie Wanyan lowered her head and pursed her lips and chuckled, and patted her husband's arm lightly.
This kind of transformation is extremely comfortable and smooth, and the atmosphere at the table has also begun to deflect towards ordinary family banquets.
Luo Xingwan didn't pay much attention to it, laughing with his eldest brother, and talking about interesting things from his childhood.
Lu Xiaochuan, who is the most sensitive to qi and atmosphere, noticed the change on the dining table, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, it is really a lady cultivated by a big family since childhood, and the means to control the atmosphere are a little scary.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to pour wine, Luo Xingwan took out the gifts that had been prepared a long time ago.
One for each person, the gifts of Luo Jiaan and sister-in-law Xie Wanyan are separated.
This time, Luo Xingwan mainly expressed his gratitude.
In the Liancheng incident, Second Brother Luo did too much of a circle, and he could completely punish him by not just using family law and other means.
Luo Xingwan sued her eldest brother Luo Jia'an at that time, and she had her own considerations.
The eldest brother acted fairly, and would definitely not let Second Brother Luo's behavior out of the circle, and would stop Second Brother Luo's follow-up actions as soon as possible, and would also report the situation to his grandfather in time.
Doing so is far better than Luo Xingwan directly complaining to his grandfather.
After all, the affairs of their generation were reported by Luo Jia'an first, and it was already a consensus and was tacitly approved by grandpa.
Moreover, after Luo Jia'an's hand, Luo's second brother's reputation will also suffer a big blow in the Luo family.
For the maintenance of the eldest brother, Luo Xingwan is affectionate, and naturally there is a thank you gift.
Luo Jia'an was very happy, saying that it was a gift from his sister, which was enough for him, the eldest brother, to show off for a long time with a group of pet sisters in the circle.
The sister-in-law also smiled, although she did not speak, her eyes were like water, but she appropriately expressed her appreciation and expectations.
Lu Xiaochuan found that this knowledgeable sister-in-law has eyes that can speak.
After the two boxes were opened separately, Luo Jiaan and his wife were really moved.
Sister-in-law Xie Wanyan first took out a white jade-like comb, classical carving, a phoenix carved lifelike, crystal clear, but not like jade.
If it is jade, for a wealthy son like Luo Jia'an, it is just an ordinary plaything, not outstanding.
Sister-in-law Xie Wanyan has an extraordinary background and will not care too much.
High-ranking and well-informed, Xie Wanyan was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise: "Shining, this comb is ...... Ivory?"
Luo Jia'an's box was also opened, a pipe, the same white jade texture, no need to introduce much, everyone present already understood.
Ivory...... It prohibits circulation and buying.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, these two things belong to the Republic of China. ”
Luo Xingwan explained in a timely manner that some things are taboo, and no one may care about them in private, but when they are put on the table...... It's a little out of place, and besides, sister-in-law Xie Wanyan has a different background from the people here after all.
"It's not a long time, it's not a collection, and it's very innocent. ”
"I deliberately picked them out and put them together as a pair. ”
Ivory products are not too rare for Luo Jia'an and his wife.
But Luo Xingwan carefully selected these two gifts and put them together as a pair, and the meaning was naturally different.
Coupled with the label of the Republic of China era, it adds a lot of legends and stories.
After all, in that turbulent era, everyone faced great changes, the whole society responded to challenges, and all people and all groups had to make choices, which is far from comparable to the current peaceful era.
Blood and faith intersect, struggle and suppression collide, and the waves are magnificent.
The most rare thing is that these two things are not very old, and they have nothing to do with taboos, so they can be used generously, but they are unscrupulously displayed to others.
Not to mention the pipe, the ivory comb is very compatible with Xie Wanyan's beautiful temperament, if he was born in that turbulent world, Xie Wanyan is estimated to be a famous lady in history.
The gift is right, sister-in-law Xie Wanyan really likes this comb, and her watery eyes are full of joy.
When his wife is happy, Luo Jia'an is happy, and the atmosphere of dinner is more and more relaxed and warm.
Luo Xingwan and Luo Jia'an, brother and sister, have a good amount of wine, and they clink glasses from time to time.
Lu Xiaochuan was injured and drank juice.
Sister-in-law Xie Wanyan stopped tasting it, and drank some white wine, and her cheeks were red.
Xie Wanyan has always been very quiet, eating with vegetables, her demeanor is impeccable, and she also gives Luo Jiaan a few mouthfuls of food from time to time, and the posture of a little woman is full.
On this occasion, Lu Xiaochuan has also learned how to deal with it, and he must maintain basic etiquette.
Although he did a good job, he was far from reaching the level of free retraction, and now when he saw his sister-in-law Xie Wanyan's every move, he suddenly realized that he couldn't learn that thing by himself, and he really couldn't get on the table.
But it doesn't matter, it is a weed struggling to survive in the wilderness, and it doesn't need to be compared with the precious flowers carefully cultivated in the greenhouse.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaochuan smiled and took another piece of roasted beef tenderloin and put it in his mouth, well, delicious.
