Chapter 281: Ilikat
Soon after, the Yun family's dinner table was prepared in Western style.
It is said that the high-level officials of the Yun family greeted each other with smiles, but in fact, the only people sitting at the dinner table were the people of the Yun family and the friends invited by Yun Shao.
Zhang Xin's eyes were rolling everywhere, trembling nervously, and he didn't know which hand held the knife and which hand held the fork.
Xiao Yusheng looked at the knives and forks he had here, a total of three sets. It seems that the Yun family is very well prepared, and even the moonlight with the tablecloth and dinner is exquisite and impeccable.
Xiao Yusheng knew how to eat, but he still wanted to observe. The position of the head of the family is a big acquaintance, and it is not surprising that it is the old teacher of the teaching department in the school. And not far away there are a total of five foreigners, which should be the so-called distinguished guests, and there are four people at the table. There was a person standing next to him standing with his chest straight, and this should be the butler of these distinguished guests.
His eyes were on the doll-like girl from before, who was using a French meal, cutting from the left very carefully. It's strange that she didn't sit next to Yun Shao, and sitting next to Yun Shao was a girl who was 80% similar to her.
Speaking of which, Yun Shao is full of beauties, both Chinese and Western, and this kind of glamorous blessing is really not shallow.
And Xiao Yusheng's hands couldn't hold this knife and fork, as if they weighed tens of millions of pounds. In fact, this is not the case, family dinners like this are all commercial in nature, and the two families negotiate, and the engagement after discussion is equivalent to selling the children of both parties for bundled sales. The purpose is simple, to make benefits for both parties' families.
Then, of course, he is sitting here as an outsider.
His hand tried to touch the dishes, and suddenly he felt a gaze. He looked up and saw Ellie winking at him with her big, beautiful eyes.
It's not like he can speak, it's just saying to him, "Please don't care."
He shrugged his shoulders without a trace, and he couldn't smile at all. Thanks to Ellie, he was able to pick up the knife and fork.
"Hey, the sound of the rain, why don't you have chopsticks?
On the side, Zhang Xin tilted his head cautiously.
Xiao Yusheng didn't say a word, turning a blind eye to his problems. As a guest, he took care of every detail, and when he ate fish, he also paid attention to eating with a silver knife and fork.
After a meal, although this meal is not a full meal, at least everyone except Zhang Xin is quite satisfied. Xiao Yusheng was very amazed by the skillful skills of these foreigners, there was hardly any garbage and broken bones on their table, and a whole fish was cut and completely shaved off the flesh on the bones. And the turkey, Xiao Yusheng didn't know what to do to cut the meat pieces intact.
thought that this would be the end, but he didn't want Yun Shao to grab Xiao Yusheng and beg him to go to the living room with him to listen to the discussion.
He really wanted to refuse, but he didn't have the right to refuse for any reason. The living room is brightly lit, with French sofas and fine wooden tables made from German craftsmanship, and Persian handmade carpets, everything is really too luxurious.
Especially the red wine placed between the two goblets on the table, although Xiao Yusheng didn't know the words on the package, he looked at the shape .......
There is no doubt that this is Romanée Conti wine, the number one red wine in the world. I didn't expect Director Yun to take it out so casually, maybe this meeting is very important to him.
Yun Shao tilted his head and said to Xiao Yusheng.
"I thought my daddy was going to come out with '82 Lafite. It seems that he also values this marriage. You know, my fiancée is a fourteen-year-old girl. ”
Xiao Yusheng's eyes widened, he didn't expect that he was more than two years younger, and the girl opposite him, who was about eighty percent similar to Elle, seemed to be a little taller than Elle, and the long skirt she was wearing was also very similar to Elle.
Then, he recalled that Ellie seemed to be only about 1.54 meters tall, and she was much shorter than him when she stood up. Because of the noble and elegant temperament she exuded, he felt that there was not much gap.
After talking for a long time, Xiao Yusheng listened a lot as a serious substitute for the absent-minded Yun Shao. In addition to the exchange of interests, there are many other things, at least the woman who talked to Yun Shao's father was from a certain capitalist family in the United Kingdom.
It was the first time he had heard of the Ilicat family, and it was strange to have a strange surname in many foreign countries. For example, someone's surname 'Gern' is also a transliteration of meadow.
So it's not surprising that there are a lot of oddities, and more importantly, both sides speak English. Fortunately, Xiao Yusheng's spoken English is good, and his hearing is not bad.
At the end of the meeting, the red wine in the goblet was used as a witness, and the English names of both parties were signed and notarized on a white piece of paper. The inevitable procedure was finally over, and the housekeeper of the Ilikat family led them to their family's rest area.
To be honest, it really scared Xiao Yusheng, I didn't expect this place to be so big, and even the rest area was very well repaired.
Elle sat on the French sofa and took a small sip of black tea from a bone china teacup. The white porcelain face turned around and asked with a gentle smile.
"Erin's talk is over?"
The girl, named Erin, screamed at her sister and threw herself on her cheeks with red cheeks. Elle didn't hesitate to get up and help her sister.
Xiao Yusheng felt more and more that this world was wonderful, and from that point of view, the girl named Erin was like a sister. After all, Erin looks relatively mature, and Ellie is more like a fourteen-year-old girl.
"Erin introduces herself to the two of you, presumably you and your fiancé haven't gotten to know each other well. ”
Elle is indeed very much like a gentle big sister, but she is really a little out of line in front of Erin, who is about 1.65 meters tall.
Erin was shy, and she sat down with a shy bow on her face to introduce herself.
"My name is Erin Illikart. Dublin, Ireland, UK. He is fourteen years old. ”
Yun Shao and Xiao Yusheng introduced themselves with a very standard gentlemanly ceremony. Although Zhang Xin, who was following behind, tried his best to follow suit, it was a pity that he knew almost nothing about this aspect, and he didn't know what he was wrong about.
After Xiao Yusheng and the others sat down, Zhao Ying seemed to be coming in. When she knew that Xiao Yusheng was inside, she hesitated, and finally chose to retreat.
Doubts are doubts, Xiao Yusheng knows that now is not the time to pay attention to these.
After a simple joke, Xiao Yusheng found that Elle is actually a good girl, but this elegance and calmness have penetrated into her soul, maybe it looks contrived in the eyes of others, but in fact, this is her greatest degree of nature.
"Miss Ellie, I found a very interesting place. ”
Ellie stared at Xiao Yusheng's eyes, "Please speak." ”
"You and your sister's names are two words, what does it mean?" Xiao Yusheng took a sip of black tea.
"Huh. She smiled softly, causing Xiao Yusheng's heart to skip a beat.
"Indeed, my original name was Emily. But I don't like it very much, and the kind at home is not very formal, so I simply agreed to change it to Ellie. ”
She reached out and grabbed Erin's palm, "Later, she became sensible. I also learned from my wayward sister to change Elena to Irene. In fact, there was a smaller one named Amice, who didn't let her come because she was too young. ”
Xiao Yusheng nodded.
"So, sir, it's your turn. Do you have any interesting things to share with us?"
Xiao Yusheng smiled bitterly under his face, this shrewd girl actually came to him to exchange gifts. Fortunately, he is a Chinese.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a very interesting person and I don't have any special experiences. ”
"Allow me to interject. The little girl holding a heavy book on the other side, Xiao Yusheng still regarded her as Amise just now, if it weren't for the second half of Elle's words.
She looked at Xiao Yusheng with no expression.
"Sir, there are many, many things hidden in your breath and eyes, and the deepest light is so bright but so cold. The black one seems to be a monster's huge mouth, and I don't know which target to swallow when I see it. You've probably let go of something very important, and this kind of resolution is not something that is usually available. ”
While Xiao Yusheng was shocked, he spoke again.
"I'm sorry, but I've felt the smell of you and the likeness, and I've been thinking about you all the time at the table. It's a pity I was wrong, you are more intimidating than me. ”
Xiao Yusheng stared at the child stubbornly, and he felt it from the table just now. Her resemblance to him, except that she can think, is simply an empty shell. But the difference is that this child has no purpose to speak of, he is blind, he has no pursuit, he does not know what it means to pursue.
"Let me introduce you, this is ......"
The little girl interrupted Elle by raising her hand, and he jumped off the couch to introduce himself with the standard gentlemanly courtesy.
"Allow me to tell you about it. My name is Kale Edward. That's right, my surname is Edward, and my family name comes from a sailor who was once under the notorious Edward Titch, and because I admired the fact that I didn't have a surname at the time, I immediately used his first name as my surname. Other than that...... I'm sorry, I'm a boy, and I'm sorry I look like a girl and confuse you. ”
