Chapter 4 Key Money
At the end of the ceremony, the dishes will be served.
Because of the mixture of Chinese and Western, I believe that soon the bride and groom will start toasting one by one.
As soon as Zhang Xiaojian picked up the pink cloth bag, a white hand pressed on his shoulder.
Looking back, it was Su Yu.
Su Yu had a smile on her face, the kind of professional smile she had as a flight attendant, she smiled beautifully, but if you look closely, you will find that it is not very sincere.
Since Zhang Xiaojian and Bai Yang came here, Su Yu would observe the two of them from time to time.
Through observation, she soon noticed that Zhang Xiaojian was carrying a pink cloth bag.
She knew that Zhao Linlin liked pink, and she liked it too.
She was curious about what was in it, and of course, more importantly, why did Zhang Xiaojian appear here?
It wasn't until she heard Zhao Linlin's happy voice of 'I do' and saw Bai Yang and Zhang Xiaojian clinking glasses that she noticed that things didn't seem to be good.
She knew them too well, and she felt that the two men's clinking glasses were like the beginning of some plan.
No matter what kind of plan it is, it is obvious that Zhao Linlin will make a fool of herself in the wedding banquet.
She couldn't let these two make a fuss, she had to stop what was about to happen.
So she came behind Zhang Xiaojian, pressed it with her hands, but pretended to just say hello, and said, "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Zhang Xiaojian raised his good-looking sword eyebrows, looked at Su Yu inexplicably, and said, "I think you may have some misunderstanding." ”
Su Yu asked rhetorically: "I'm most afraid that it's not a misunderstanding." ”
The people at this table were confused in the conversation between the two, but they all vaguely felt that the reason for the-for-tat between the two was the old relationship.
Zhang Xiaojian didn't bother to explain, and was about to break free of Su Yu's hand, Su Yu looked down at the pink cloth bag in his arms and said, "What is this, don't tell me it's a souvenir." ”
The people sitting on Zhang Xiaojian's side all found the pink cloth bag and couldn't help laughing.
"Su Yu, take care of the heavens and the earth, can you still control other people's shit and fart?" There was some anger in Bai Yang's eyes, not only because of Su Yu's actions now, but also because she had changed a lot.
Su Yu didn't look at Bai Yang, his brain was thinking quickly.
In a flash of light, she felt that she knew Zhang Xiaojian's plan.
The bag doesn't look small, it's bulging inside.
Since Zhang Xiaojian came here with a cloth bag, of course it can't be a real souvenir.
Then most likely it is a gift.
Zhang Xiaojian and Zhao Linlin gave each other gifts or letters when they were in love.
The two of them must have wanted to stop Zhao Linlin, who had retreated from the stage, and handed over the bag to her, but they didn't know whether they were going to break it or be unwilling.
But none of this is important, the important thing is that Zhao Linlin knows that even if the two don't make trouble, they can't let Zhang Xiaojian give Zhao Linlin this pink cloth bag.
Because Zhao Linlin's current husband, Gu Yande, who is only forty-five years old, never wants to see Zhang Xiaojian and Zhao Linlin in contact, with the experience of this company executive, even if nothing happens, he can see through the historical relationship between Zhang Xiaojian and Zhao Linlin at a glance. It's not good.
So Su Yu decided to break it, only in this way could Zhang Xiaojian be ashamed and retreat.
"In this cloth bag, I'm afraid it's the gifts you and Linlin gave each other before, but I came to pay her back today? I don't think it's necessary, those worthless things are embarrassed to take out." ”
She plucked up some courage when she said this, because even she felt bitter and mean.
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaojian's face was full of question marks, but the next second he understood that Su Yu wanted to be crooked.
None of the people at the table laughed, because the words had already been made clear, and it was not big to say that it was small, and it was not small to say that it was small on this happy day.
Zhang Xiaojian laughed, he looked at Su Yu and said, "You, you have to be strong since you were a child, but your mind is always crooked." ”
As he spoke, he looked up at the twilight, which was approaching six o'clock, when the sun was about to set.
"He who has light in his heart sees light everywhere, and he who has a dark heart thinks everything is a conspiracy. ”
Zhang Xiaojian stood up: "Don't worry, I will only follow the salute, and I will leave after the salute." ”
Then he walked to the ceremonial table not far away, holding his cloth bag.
Su Yu couldn't stop it.
Because Poplar grabbed her arm, pinching her hurt.
Bai Yang silently looked at Zhang Xiaojian's back, and only he understood that even if the page was turned over, Zhang Xiaojian definitely had his own reason to throw this money.
Although he didn't know exactly what that reason was.
But Bai Yang knew that Zhang Xiaojian was the one who hadn't said anything bad about his ex-girlfriend for three months, and even he would stop him if he wanted to complain.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaojian wanted to use this money, not to slap the face of the Zhao family's mother and daughter, let alone because of Su Yu's language.
So what exactly is this reason?
Poplar didn't figure it out.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it's not a marriage robbery, he will support Zhang Xiaojian in whatever he does.
————
After the ceremony ended, the scene was noisy, and few people noticed what was happening in this corner.
The bride and groom had already gone to change their dresses and prepare for the next toasting session, and the six beautiful bridesmaids sat not far away, looking at Su Yu curiously, looking at the young man with extraordinarily good-looking eyebrows.
Some people who know each other have complicated expressions, and some people who don't know each other don't know why.
Behind the ledger sat a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, who was not important, only responsible for bookkeeping.
The important thing is that standing next to him happened to come to see the ceremonial account, the woman in a silk dress with a saffron pattern.
She is Zhao Linlin's mother, she is not only wearing festive clothes today, but her rich smile is also very festive.
It's just that after seeing Zhang Xiaojian, this festive smile came to an abrupt end.
Zhang Xiaojian came to the front of the ceremonial account table and said politely: "Hello, Auntie." ”
Although Mother Zhao didn't smile, she still nodded, but some gestures on her face couldn't hide it.
Such as condescending, such as indifference and detachment.
Recalling a year ago, Zhang Xiaojian and Zhao's mother met for the first time.
Presumably at that time, she was condescending and too lazy to talk to Zhang Xiaojian, because she knew that they would always become strangers, so what was the point of talking so much?
Her indifference and detachment is to express her firm attitude to Zhao Linlin, she must not marry Zhang Xiaojian, or never marry a poor person.
This is because Zhao's mother lost her husband when she was young, and she has suffered a lot in order to support Zhao Linlin, she knows that the world is hot and cold, and she also understands how vital material conditions play a role in happiness.
And it is never wrong to wish your daughter to be happy, and to hope that your daughter will marry a man with good conditions in the future, which is very right.
Zhang Xiaojian understands this
So after that trace of unwillingness disappeared, he found that he didn't seem to hate Zhao's mother, who was the initiator.
After saying hello, he was still in the mood to praise: "Auntie is very beautiful today." ”
This is true, because he has never seen Zhao Mu smile.
Coupled with today's big joy BUFF, this middle-aged mother finally got her wish and let her daughter marry her favorite son-in-law, from now on she doesn't have to worry about her daughter, she doesn't have to worry about material things, the heavy burden that has been pressed on her body for many years has finally been put down, how can people not be beautiful?
Mother Zhao was a little stunned when she heard this, for some reason she suddenly felt that the kid in front of her was not so annoying, from his relaxed tone, Mother Zhao knew that he should let go, and the slight guilt in her heart because of breaking up her daughter's love disappeared.
She said unprecedentedly: "You are still very young. ”
There are many meanings in this sentence, you are still young and there are great times waiting for you in the future, but Zhao Linlin is not suitable for you now.
You are still young, and you will have a lot of struggle in the future, but now your conditions do not meet my criteria for choosing a son-in-law.
Or maybe you're young and don't have to be discouraged.
No matter which one it is, it doesn't matter to Zhang Xiaojian.
He didn't plan to continue talking to Zhao's mother, he put the pink cloth bag on the table and said: "With the woman, Zhang Xiaojian, the bow is long Zhang, the size is small, and the sword of the sharp sword." ”
The elegant middle-aged man with gold-framed eyes opened the woman's gift account, quickly wrote down the three big characters 'Zhang Xiaojian', and asked very casually: "How much?"
"Two million. Zhang Xiaojian's tone was flat.
————
Thunder on the ground is the best way to describe the scene now.
With the ceremonial table as the center, the number was heard within a radius of about thirty meters - two million.
Although Zhang Xiaojian's voice was not loud, it was not loud.
But because it was a slight quarrel with Su Yu before, which attracted the attention of many people, all his actions fell in the eyes of people, so that the words he said naturally made people who were interested in watching the excitement hear it very clearly and clearly.
The middle-aged man with myopic glasses looked up, his eyes full of questions, and he thought he had misheard: "How much?"
"Two million. ”
Zhang Xiaojian's voice was still so breezy and calm.
Some people who didn't hear clearly before, but silently watched the excitement want to thank the middle-aged man, but this time they heard it clearly, and the excitement seemed to be very noisy.
Mother Zhao's face became ugly at this moment, of course she didn't think that Zhang Xiaojian had the ability to come up with two million, if he could, she might not break him up and Linlin.
But she was sure she heard it right, so what Zhang Xiaojian showed before was fake?
Of course Zhang Xiaojian didn't come to smash the field, he just had his own reasons, he untied the tight rope of the cloth bag and put it in front of the middle-aged man, meaning you see.
At this time, Su Yu finally arrived, she lowered her voice, and said angrily in a reprimanding tone: "Zhang Xiaojian, can you stop making trouble, no one's face looks good if you make a big fuss, how thick your skin is, aren't you ashamed?"
But even when Su Yu said this, although his voice was as low as possible, because the volume of anger was slightly louder, there were too many people with their ears pricked up now, and even some hotel staff who were busy around stopped by.
And the stop of these people naturally attracted the attention of more people.
For a time, the ceremonial account table gradually became the central focus of the audience.
The sunset of dusk hit the face of Zhang Xiaojian, the protagonist of this incident, and he was puzzled: "I really don't mean anything else, you guys are thinking too much." ”
Bai Yang, who was accidentally broken free by Su Yu before, came to Zhang Xiaojian's side,
Feeling the burning eyes around him, listening to Su Yu's words, Bai Yang was very angry.
He felt that Xiao Jian must be very uncomfortable now, Su Yu, when did you become like this?
So, Poplar decided to do something to quickly end the situation.
He grabbed the cloth pocket that had been opened upside down.
————
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the table.
Because there was a man named Topol, who was pouring things upside down, very hard.
As can be seen from his physical performance, he is angry now.
But that doesn't matter, it's what's poured out of the bag.
Stacks of neatly bound banknotes poured from the mouth of the bag.
Because the strength of the aspen was great, some of the bundles of bills smashed on the red cloth table, and some fell on the grass.
The process of this fall is quick.
But in the eyes of the people, it is slow.
Because what falls is a stack of money.
Pouring out all the two million in one go, Bai Yang glanced at Zhang Xiaojian.
Zhang Xiaojian didn't feel like it was good, but since Bai Yang had done this, the matter was over, and he spoke: "Let's go." ”
So the two brothers disappeared from people's sight in full view, ignoring the stunned people.
At this time, a pink sunset pierced through the heavy clouds, illuminating the pink cloth bag and illuminating the pink banknotes.
There was a strange silence on the wedding lawn, and pins could be heard.
The breeze in the distance caressed it, and on the ledger and in the grass, the "rustle" sound of these bundled banknotes was particularly harsh.
It's like the sound of a flip book.
But it's better than flipping through a book.
