Chapter 666: The Engagement Ceremony
The imperial capital Qi family.
Today is the day when Qi Wan'er, the eldest lady of the Qi family, and Zhao Hongkun of the Zhao family get married, according to the customs of the imperial capital, they must first hold an engagement banquet at the woman's house, and then get married at the man's house after a while.
Qi Wan'er's lungs were about to explode in the past few days, and she originally just wanted to go home to see her mother, stay for a few days and then go to meet Qin Haodong.
Unexpectedly, a master Yuan Tianren suddenly jumped out, and he actually said that he was a rare prosperous man in ancient and modern times, and then there was an extra marriage with Zhao Hongkun out of thin air.
She originally wanted to escape secretly, but she was sealed by Qi Yulong, who had been on guard, and now she is no different from ordinary people, and she is watched by the two bodyguards at the door, and she doesn't even have the slightest chance to escape.
I wanted to contact Qin Haodong, but there was not even half a reliable person around, and there was no phone, so no information could be transmitted.
She was annoyed here, but the Qi family was beaming.
Zhao Hongkun is the leader of the third generation of the Zhao family, the heir of the head of the family with the highest voice, after the marriage of the Qi family and the Zhao family, the alliance between the two families will be unbreakable, which will be of great benefit to the development of the Qi family in the imperial capital.
The Zhao family is also very enthusiastic about this marriage, and the two families have become friendly, and the relationship between the allies has become more stable after the marriage.
Second, Qi Wan'er is not only a country and a city, but also a rare prosperous life in a thousand years as Master Yuan said, such a daughter-in-law will definitely make the Zhao family soar after marrying home, and it is even possible to become the head of the seven great families.
Under the high attention of the two families, although it was only an engagement banquet today, it was extremely lively, inviting guests and friends, and all the families in the imperial capital who were ranked first received the wedding card.
Qi Yulong stood in front of the gate of the Qi family in a straight suit, welcoming the guests with a happy face, and the old man Qi Guofan was sitting in the lobby in a festive Tang costume.
Regarding the marriage between the Qi family and the Zhao family, although other families also dislike it, they have to do things in terms of face after all, so the other five major families are all in the family.
In addition, affected by the recent news that Qin Zongheng has become a sage, Chu Xuanyue's status has risen, and this time he has also been specially invited, and his status is the same as that of the heads of other major families.
After receiving the wedding post, she originally didn't want to come, because she didn't want to face Chu Shanhe, the head of the Chu family, but later, under Ye Qing's persuasion, in order to lay a good connection for her son to return to the imperial capital in the future, she finally came.
However, after coming to the Qi family, she still avoided Chu Shanhe far away and sat on the other side.
Chu Shanhe also saw his daughter, sighed with a complicated expression, and finally did not speak.
In the dressing room, Shi Zhixuan said to Qi Wan'er: "Girl, hurry up and put on makeup, the time is coming soon." β
Today, Qi Wan'er was wearing a brightly colored cheongsam, but her expression was very indifferent, she just sat quietly on the chair and said nothing.
"Mom, I've told you and dad that I already have a boyfriend, so why should I get engaged?
Shi Zhixuan sighed and said: "Girl, if you want to blame your mother for this matter, I shouldn't take you to count your fate, but the matter has come to this, we can only accept our fate, girls from big families, marriage has never been their own decision." β
Qi Wan'er said angrily: "I don't believe in fate, if I believe in fate, I would have died a long time ago, my life was given by Haodong, if I want to marry, I will marry him alone, and I will not marry anyone else." β
Shi Zhixuan said: "Daughter, my mother knows that you are bitter in your heart, but this matter was decided by your grandfather, and we can't change it, and I think Zhao Hongkun's child is not bad, and marrying him is not a grievance." β
"No, the family is the family, I am me, and I am in charge of my marriage, since the entire Qi family forces me, then it's no wonder that I don't show mercy. β
A hint of determination flashed on Qi Wan'er's face, and she said to the makeup artist next to her, "Come, give me makeup." β
Shi Zhixuan said worriedly: "Child, don't do stupid things......
Qi Wan'er said: "Mom, I am in charge of this matter, so you don't have to worry about it." β
At this moment, the Qi family's banquet hall was already full.
As today's male protagonist, Zhao Hongkun is wearing a black suit, and his upright posture exudes strong confidence.
As the core figure of the three generations of the Zhao family, he can be said to be the pride of the sky, and he has performed extremely well since he was a child, and he has reached the cultivation of the five grades of the grandmaster before he is 30 years old.
This kind of achievement is enough to make him proud of his peers from other families, as if he is the leader of the younger generation in the imperial capital.
In the Zhao family, Zhao Hongkun is also highly valued by the head of the family, Old Man Zhao, and has obtained a certain right to decide family affairs, unless there are major matters related to the life and death of the family, he has the right to make decisions.
As an outstanding man, the matchmaker who has come to the Zhao family to propose marriage over the years has almost broken through the threshold, and countless ladies have thrown olive branches to him.
But Zhao Hongkun refused everything, at most he was acting on the spot, he thought that those women were not worthy of him, until Qi Wan'er appeared.
In his opinion, with his own ability and talent, it is a match made in heaven with Qi Wan'er, who has a rare and prosperous life for thousands of years.
He has already surpassed the younger generation of the imperial capital now, and if he gets Qi Wan'er's help again, his future achievements will be limitless.
Originally, he proposed to the Qi family because of Yuan Tianren's words, but when he saw Qi Wan'er's peerless face, he was immediately shocked, and after the two families made a marriage contract, he could wake up with a smile in his dreams.
If a man wants to succeed, the woman behind him is absolutely extremely important, and because of this, the three words "Wangfu Life" are full of endless temptation for everyone, and there are countless people who come to the Qi family to propose marriage, but only he Zhao Hongkun finally had the last laugh.
Just as he was becoming more and more proud, an old Taoist walked in from outside, it was Yuan Tianren, the most famous occult master in the imperial capital.
Yuan Laodao looked like he was about sixty or seventy years old, with long hair and white beard, a cyan robe, and a whisk in his hand, looking like a fairy wind and bones.
Yuan Tianren's popularity in the imperial capital was extremely high, and wherever he went, he immediately hugged him, and countless people stood up to greet him.
After seeing him, Zhao Hongkun immediately greeted him: "Master Yuan, you are here, and the juniors have to thank you for your guidance." β
Yuan Tianren stretched out his hand and straightened his beard, and said with a full face: "Lao Dao doesn't dare to be greedy for the merits of heaven, and he can get a rare prosperous life for a thousand years, which is also your luck." β
Zhao Hongkun said respectfully: "After all, I still have to thank the master for his guidance, your great grace Hong Kun is unforgettable, when you have time, Hong Kun wants to thank him alone, and please appreciate the master." β
"The children are teachable, and the future is limitless. β
Yuan Tianren nodded with satisfaction, threw down the eight words, and walked inside.
Zhao Hongkun turned around, and just saw Qi Wan'er have finished painting makeup and walked into the hall.
She was wearing a bright red cheongsam, which set off her beautiful figure to the fullest, and her long hair was coiled high to reveal her fair neck and shoulders, like a peacock that had been opening the screen, and the dazzling brilliance illuminated the entire hall.
Since seeing Qi Wan'er, Zhao Hongkun has a feeling of amazement every time he sees it, he smiles slightly, lifts his spirits, and walks towards his future wife.
"Wan'er, you are so beautiful today. β
Zhao Hongkun walked to Qi Wan'er's side and stretched out his hand to take her hand.
After today's engagement, they will become a quasi-couple, and in the eyes of this kind of family, the engagement ceremony is far more effective than the small book of the marriage certificate.
As long as today's ceremony is completed, Qi Wan'er will be his Zhao Hongkun's wife.
But Qi Wan'er obviously didn't think so, she took a step back slightly, and Zhao Hongkun grabbed a void.
She said coldly, "Don't touch me." β
Zhao Hongkun smiled and said, "Wan'er, we're going to be a family soon, why are you still so shy." β
Qi Wan'er said: "Zhao Hongkun, let me tell you, I didn't want to participate in this engagement ceremony today, I have my own favorite person, even if you can get my person, you can't get my heart." β
After a pause, she said to Zhao Hongkun, who was stunned, "Besides, you may not be able to get my people." β
Faced with Qi Wan'er's refusal, Zhao Hongkun didn't care after coming back to his senses, smiled and said: "Wan'er, I know that you have emotions for me now, and I understand it very well, but I believe that as long as we become husband and wife, I will definitely be able to let you see my excellence and make you fall in love with me." β
Qi Wan'er shook her head and said mercilessly: "It's useless, no matter how hard you try, you can't compare with him." β
Zhao Hongkun said with a proud face: "Wan'er, although I don't know who that kid is, he met you a few days earlier than me at most, if you talk about excellence and talent, I don't think he can compare with me anyway." β
Qi Wan'er smiled coldly and said, "You think too much, no matter which point he is, he will be ten thousand times stronger than you." β
Zhao Hongkun smiled indifferently, he didn't take Qi Wan'er's words seriously at all, in his heart, he was the descendant of the Zhao family in the imperial capital, the pride of the sky, how could there be a young man who was better than himself.
"Wan'er, today is our big day, I don't want to argue with you, please believe me, I will definitely touch your heart in the future. β
"It's impossible, he's the only one in my heart. β
Qi Wan'er turned around as she spoke, as if she wanted to leave, but suddenly thought of something, turned around and said, "By the way, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, I am already his person now." β
Zhao Hongkun didn't care about what he said before, but this sentence hit his pain point all of a sudden. For an extremely arrogant man, it is undoubtedly a huge insult for his fiancΓ©e to suddenly say that she has slept with another man!
He clenched his fists violently, and the veins on his forehead flare.
Qi Wan'er took in his expression, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, if she wanted to rob herself of being his wife, she would make him unhappy!
