It was almost eleven o'clock when the guests began to arrive.

Jinxiu and Gu Nianhua followed the parents and elders of both sides to the door to greet the guests.

Today's weather is good, the sun is shining, and there is no wind, but it is still a little cold standing at the door. The splendid cheongsam is equipped with a white fur shoulder, which is warm and good-looking.

Gu Nianhua was not at ease, so he turned back and took a coat and draped it on his shoulders.

"I'm not cold. "She is carefully dressed, and with such a coat, she looks nondescript. "My shoulders are warm, I don't believe you touch it. ”

As she spoke, Jinxiu took Gu Nianhua's hand and felt it, and sure enough, it was hot under her shoulders.

"That's not good, your cheongsam is still showing your legs. What if you catch a cold?"

Jinxiu looked down at his legs that were covered in a cheongsam and occasionally exposed by the wind, and he didn't know how to explain the existence of the "bare-legged artifact" to him, so he had to obediently put on his coat.

This "bare-legged artifact" was naturally stuffed to her by Wang Tingting, flesh-colored stockings, which look thin, but in fact, a thick layer of velvet is added to it, which is comfortable to wear, and does not feel restricted, the key is that it really looks like bare legs!

In addition to those in his own family, there are only a few classmates and business friends left on Jinxiu's side.

There are few friends in this business, that is, the director of the garment factory, Sun and a few leaders, and a few other suppliers with good relationships.

Originally, these business friends Jinxiu didn't plan to invite, after all, the Gu family is in the army and politics, and an engagement wedding is too big and too eye-catching. But Gu Nianhua said that when she does business, she pays attention to personal relationships, and it is impossible to say such a big happy event without notifying others. Send the invitation over, whether you come or not is your own business. Besides, Old Man Gu has retired now, and he is not so eye-catching, and this little movement is not in the way.

So Jinxiu sent an invitation, but I didn't expect that they all came.

"Boss Zhang, congratulations. ”

These friends in the business field almost arrived before and after, and as soon as they came, they greeted Jinxiu and sent the congratulatory gifts they had prepared.

Jinxiu and Gu Nianhua accepted the congratulatory gifts and beckoned them to come in and sit.

Wu Yin and a few of them arrived after these people, and as soon as the girls came, they pulled the splendid and chattered and laughed. Wang Hanying also came with her, and Jinxiu invited her. Not to mention the previous things, the two can be regarded as having a friendship, so now that she and Wu Yin live in the same dormitory, she will also invite them.

While laughing, Jiang Shan came over and said with a smile: "Jinxiu, Nian's uncle, aunt and a few cousins and aunts are here." ”

Gu Yuanchao is an only son, but Old Man Gu has other brothers and sisters. These brothers and sisters are not as good as him, but their descendants rely on the big tree of Old Man Gu, and they are doing well.

Jiang Shan's mother's family is stronger than the Gu family, Jiang Shan's parents are cadres, and she and her only brother are also cadres. Her brother's official is quite big, and now he is the second-in-command of H Province.

These relatives all arrived yesterday and arranged to stay in the troops' guest house.

Jiang Shan led the splendid over and introduced it to everyone: "Come, let me introduce to you, this is my splendid family." ”

A woman in her fifties, who looked about the same age as Jiang Shan, smiled and said, "This is Jinxiu, she looks much more beautiful than in the newspaper." I'm your aunt, and this is your uncle. ”

"Uncle, aunt. Jinxiu greeted with a slightly red face.

This couple is Jiang Shan's only brother and sister-in-law, Jiang He and Yuan Xiangjun. Jiang He has a unique posture of being a leader, Yuan Xiangjun is gentle and elegant, and she looks like a cultured woman.

"Knowing that you are going to get engaged, I have prepared a gift for you early, and I don't know if you like it or not? ”

Yuan Xiangjun took out a box from his pocket and opened it to see that there was a thin gold bracelet inside.

"Thank you, aunt. Gu Nianhua took it with a smile and put it on for Jinxiu neatly. The style of the bracelet is simple, but the effect of wearing it is very beautiful.

Yuan Xiangjun nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it's so good-looking." When I went to buy a gift, I liked this one at first sight, and I thought you must look good wearing it. ”

Jinxiu said with a smile: "Thank you, aunt, I like it very much, but I just let my uncle and aunt break the bank." ”

Yuan Xiangjun smiled and waved his hand: "What's the cost, we are a nephew and daughter-in-law like you, who do you hurt if you don't care?"

Gu Nianhua put one hand around Jinxiu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Our aunt has a lot of private money, so I don't feel sorry for this star." ”

Yuan Xiangjun scolded with a smile: "Virtue, when I was a child, I knew how to cheat money from my aunt." Your two cousins can't leave for the time being, so they asked me to bring the gift money, Jinxiu, you put it away, don't let that kid go. ”

Gu Nianhua touched his nose and muttered, "Is there a difference between giving her and giving it to me?"

"Of course, there is a difference, if you give it to Jinxiu, then these are Jinxiu's private money. I gave it to you, and when I turned around and let my mother take these things away, would she still have her share?"

"Sister-in-law, look at what you said, can I still cheat the child into spending the money?" Jiang Shan couldn't stop laughing, turned her head and introduced to Jinxiu again: "This is your second uncle and second aunt, third uncle and third aunt, fourth uncle and fourth aunt, this is your aunt and uncle, this is your sister-in-law and uncle." These young ones are all children of their family, and these are the cousins and cousins of the second uncle's family......"

This bunch of uncles and aunts are all descendants of Old Man Gu's brothers, and two of Old Man Gu's brothers passed away a few years ago.

Jinxiu relied on his ability to recognize people that he had exercised on weekdays, and he remembered all these people. These uncles and aunts also brought their own gifts, but they couldn't compare with the bracelet of Jiang He's husband and wife.

"All right, everybody go in and sit and talk. ”

Jiang Shan and Gu Yuanchao led a large group of people in, and Liu Jinxiu and Gu Nianhua continued to wait at the gate.

After a while, several military vehicles drove over, and Old Man Gu got out of the car and walked over with General Zhu and his party on crutches.

The heads of the military districts of the S province are here.

Gu Nianhua led the splendid to greet him.

"Xiao Gu, Jinxiu, congratulations. General Zhu said with a smile.

The leaders next to him said the same thing.

Jinxiu thanked Gu Nianhua one by one.

Each of these leaders took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Jinxiu.

General Zhu said with a smile: "We rough people don't know what to give, thinking that it is most appropriate to give some gifts, you can watch and buy by yourself, and buy what you like." ”

Jinxiu smiled and said, "Thank you, leaders, please come in." ”

Gu Nianhua led several leaders into the hotel, leaving Jinxiu alone to wait here for the time being.
