Chapter 507: Family Banquet
"yes, why are you so surprised? I think the two of them are a good match! A handsome and handsome, a gentle and beautiful, what a match made in heaven! Zhao Xiaoshi said with a wistful expression. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Well, they're a good match, yes, but what do you mean by this longing? Could it be that you also thought about your future with someone......
"Oh, Sister Qian'er, aren't we talking about Brother Tang and Sister Jiajia? Why are you pulling on me again? Really! Zhao Xiaoshi hurriedly stopped Zhao Xiaoqian, who was still going to speak, and sped up her pace with some anger.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoshi seemed to be really angry, Zhao Xiaoqian hurriedly chased after her, and approached: "Oh, this is angry?" Look at this little mouth, you can hang a soy sauce bottle! Okay, Sister Qian'er apologizes to you, and promises not to make fun of you in the future, don't be angry, okay? ”
"Really? Then you have to talk about it! Zhao Xiaoshi was not really angry, and after hearing Zhao Xiaoqian's apology, she immediately forgave her, and then the two talked in a low voice again.
The group came to the Tianxia Restaurant, and Wang Kun personally took them to the No. 1 box. This was booked by Tang Wan herself, and this box is rarely rented out, basically becoming their exclusive box.
Zhao Xiaoqian was holding the menu in her hand at the moment, asking Zhao Xiaoshi which dishes were more delicious. Just when a few people had just ordered a few dishes, the door of the box was pushed open, and Tang Yuanqun and his wife and Tang Rong walked in.
"Hi guys!" Tang Yuanqun smiled and waved his hand.
"Oh, it turned out to be Uncle Tang, Aunt Jiang and Brother Tang? You're just in the right place, we're just starting to order, so let's take your opinion as well! To everyone's surprise, it was Zhao Xiaoqian who was the first to respond to Tang Yuanqun. I saw that she had already gotten up and came to the front of the three of them at this moment, holding Jiang Lan's arm with one hand, and pulled her to the seat.
"Uh, Zhao...... Miss Zhao, you ......"
"Oh, Aunt Jiang, didn't I tell you a long time ago? Just call me Qian'er, and call Miss Zhao not only twisted, but also ugly, you say yes? Brother Tang! Zhao Xiaoqian interrupted Jiang Lan, who wanted to speak, pouted dissatisfiedly, and smiled at Tang Rong, who had already come to her.
"Well, that's right! Uncle and aunt, since Qian'er said that she came to Jeonbei to play as an ordinary person, let's not be too restrained! It's better to relax a little! In contrast, Tang Rong is much more relaxed. He was even more relaxed than Tang Wan, and when he heard Tang Wan tell him that Zhao Xiaoqian was coming to Jeonbuk in the afternoon, he was only slightly surprised.
As for why this is, it is unknown. It seems that from the very beginning, he did not have the "fear" of other people for this noble lady of the Zhao family. This is very similar to Tang Chen, no, it can even be said that he performs better than him.
Because Tang Chen knew Zhao Xiaoqian's true details, he had a complicated mood of "fear with a hint of expectation". Tang Rong, on the other hand, is pure calm. For this, Zhao Xiaoqian found out from the first time they met, so they were very interested in this special pair of brothers in their hearts!
In her heart, in addition to Tang Chen, the "demon" who needs special attention, Tang Rong is also the focus of observation. That's why she was so surprised after hearing that Wang Jiajia was his girlfriend just now. After all, in her heart, such a "special" person would not easily fall in love with an ordinary woman.
"My brother is right! Mom and Dad, just relax! After all, tonight is a family banquet, and they will come to Secretary Chen later, if there is such an atmosphere at the table, then tonight's family banquet will be completely tasteless! Tang Chen also said with a smile at this time.
“…… Well, since Miss Zhao said so, then we might as well be respectful! Well, from now on, we will call you "Qian'er" just like Wan'er and them! Looking at everyone's reactions, Tang Yuanqun and Jiang Lan glanced at each other, then nodded and said.
"yes, that's the way it is! Wow Ka Ka! After listening to Tang Yuanqun's words, Zhao Xiaoqian on the side suddenly cheered excitedly.
Like Tang Wan, her performance as if she had changed into a different person also made Tang Yuanqun's and his wife's eyes full of incomprehension. Even Li Xiangqin and Zhao Xiaoshi were full of doubts in their eyes at the moment. Is this "funny" Zhao Xiaoqian really the "cold" little princess of the Zhao family they knew before?
Tang Chen and Tang Rong still had calm faces. Tang Chen had known her true face for a long time, and as for why Tang Rong was so calm, even Tang Chen was a little curious.
As for Wang Jiajia, who saw Zhao Xiaoqian for the first time, her face was also very calm after noticing the strange atmosphere on the table. After all, she is a relatively silent person, and on such occasions, she generally plays the existence of a spectator.
With Zhao Xiaoqian's drive, the atmosphere in the box quickly became lively. When she ordered several dishes in succession and handed over the menu to Tang Yuanqun, there was a knock on the box door again.
"It should be Secretary Chen, they are here, I'll go open the door!" Tang Yuanqun got up and said a word, then quickly left his position and went to open the door. For such a number of courtesies, it is still necessary for him to do it.
Hearing Tang Yuanqun's words, everyone present also subconsciously stood up, even Zhao Xiaoqian was no exception. The more people who come out of the big family, the more they pay attention to etiquette. Although she was born tall, she is also a junior, isn't she?
For example, when Tang Yuanqun and them came in just now, wasn't she the first to walk over to greet them? Therefore, no matter what face she shows, in the most basic etiquette, it will not change. It's just a little different in the way it is expressed!
For example, in the past, Zhao Xiaoqian also achieved these most basic etiquette, but it gave the impression of a "procedural" performance. The smile on his face also seemed to be squeezed out.
But today it's different! The smile on her face today gives people a feeling of spring breeze! This is also the reason why Tang Wan, Tang Yuanqun and others feel like she is a completely different person!
……
Wang Kun, who was standing on the side and remembering the name of the dish, originally wanted to go over and open the door, but found that Tang Yuanqun was much faster than him. However, after he heard the words "Secretary Chen", he immediately became stunned. In the entire Jeonbuk, I'm afraid he is the only one who will let this head of the Tang Dynasty group personally get up and go over to open the door for him, right?
Tang Yuanqun opened the door, and it was Chen Lihua's family who appeared at the door. Next to him, there was also a staff member who was supposed to lead the way.
"Secretary Chen, Mrs., and Xiaoxiao, you are finally here! If it's a little later, we'll finish the dishes! Tang Yuanqun said with a smile.
"Haha! Brother Donald is sorry, we're late! But when it comes to ordering food, you are in charge, anyway, we are here to eat and drink, and we will not be picky eaters! Madam, Xiaoxiao, what do you say? "Chen Lihua's relationship with Tang Yuanqun is already very close, so he is also very open in private.
"Well, Lao Chen is right! Brother Donald, we only brought our mouths here, and we don't care about the rest! ”
"Uncle Tang, I also have the same meaning as my parents! Hey! ”
"Your family is really cooperative! Oh yes, why did we talk at the door. Zhao ...... Well, Xiaoqian is already waiting inside, let's go in and talk slowly! After Tang Yuanqun finished speaking, he beckoned the three of them into the box.
When the three of them entered the box, they immediately found that all the people inside had stood up to greet him. Among them, he also saw a familiar figure inside, that is, Zhao Xiaoqian.
This is naturally not surprising. His backer was originally Zhao Wenyu, how could he not know Zhao Xiaoqian? Not to mention other times, even if it is a New Year's festival or something, their family will also visit. In other words, their family will be no stranger to Zhao Xiaoqian.
"Why are you all standing? Sit down! It's not the first time we've eaten together, so why are we still so polite? Oh, and Xiaoqian, you girl came to Jeonbuk without notifying Uncle Chen in advance. If Wan'er hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it by now! Uncle Chen is going to criticize you for this! Chen Lihua greeted everyone with a smile, and then began to "attack" Zhao Xiaoqian.
"Oops! Uncle Chen, the reason why Qian'er didn't say it was just to surprise you, but she didn't mean not to tell you! If you don't believe it, ask Sister Wan'er and Uncle Tang, they also found out not long ago! Zhao Xiaoqian pleaded with an aggrieved face.
"Even if that's the case, you should have let us know in advance! After all, although the current law and order are much better, there are still some lawbreakers lurking in the shadows......"
"Okay, okay, Uncle Chen, I know you care about me. But if you think about it yourself, Dad is relieved that I will go out alone, and he will naturally ensure my safety, right? ”
Zhao Xiaoqian explained again. This can't be helped, after all, Chen Lihua is a family member in Jeonbuk. If she wants to play in peace for the next two days, she'll have to convince him! And the most effective way is, of course, to move out of Zhao Wenyu directly!
It turned out that she was the most effective. After listening to her half-truths, Chen Lihua thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that he was a little "salty and don't worry about eating radishes".
After solving this stubble of Chen Lihua, Zhao Xiaoqian said hello to Wang Meiling and Chen Xiaoxiao, who had been smiling at her. The two of them naturally had to chat with her.
After the greetings, it's time to order the whole thing. Since Zhao Xiaoqian has already ordered, the next people are often coming to eat, so the order is also very fast. A few minutes later, Wang Kun walked out of the box with the menu.
While waiting for the meal, the box began to be lively again. Especially Zhao Xiaoqian, Zhao Xiaoxiao and Chen Xiaoxiao, three girls who are close in age, have been chatting together in a low voice, and they still let out a hint of laughter from time to time.
It stands to reason that the three of them are usually people who can't beat the eight poles, and they haven't seen each other a few times, and it's the first time for the three of them to get together! Tang Chen couldn't understand where did the three of them come from the common topic?
Fortunately, it was not the first time that Tang Chen had seen the "magical friendship between girls", so he only sighed slightly, and teased Tang Rong on the side.
The meal was a great pleasure! As today's protagonist, Zhao Xiaoqian has completely incarnated into a "big foodie". For the food on the table, she is completely "sweeping" like a storm, and she does not have the demeanor that a famous family should have.
However, the people present were very relieved by this situation. Because Zhao Xiaoqian was able to let go of her usual "cold" posture and show her truest side. That means that this time she really wants to spend two days in Jeonbuk as an ordinary girl, as she said herself!
Of course, red wine is also inevitable at today's family dinner. After all, there were several men on the field, how could there be less alcohol?
Although Zhao Xiaoqian is the protagonist tonight, she is still young after all, so the people present did not plan to let her drink, but asked her to drink instead when saluting her. But who knew that she waved her hand, poured a glass of red wine directly, and gave a sip to everyone who respected her.
I only drank a little more than one glass in total, and with the degree of this wine, I don't think it was too problematic, so after persuading her for a while, I saw that she seemed to be really a little drunk, so I didn't persuade her anymore.
"Senior Brother Tang Chen, how about we have a drink?" As soon as Tang Chen had a drink with Tang Rong, Zhao Xiaoqian picked up her glass and said.
"Aha? Do you mean a toast? Tang Chen said with a surprised expression.
"That's right, it's a cup! In the next two days, you will have Brother Lao to take care of you, so I naturally want to toast you! Zhao Xiaoqian smiled.
"Oh, is that so? But you've already drunk one and a half cups, if you drink another half of it......" Although Tang Chen hadn't finished speaking, the meaning was already very clear.
"What, are you afraid that I'll get drunk? Don't worry, my amount of wine is not as bad as you think, and a few glasses of red wine can still handle it! Besides, even if I'm drunk, it's a big deal to let Xiaoshi and Sister Wan'er carry me back, what do you say? Zhao Xiaoqian said heroically.
"Uh...... What you say makes sense, tomorrow is a holiday anyway, and it's really no problem to get drunk! Then let's have a drink! Listening to Zhao Xiaoqian's words, Tang Chen looked at her, and then didn't say anything more, directly picked up the wine glass and touched her, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Don't underestimate these, they largely reflect the situation in the real officialdom. Therefore, Tang Chen's thoughts cannot be said to be pure YY. Anyway, since Zhao Wenyu told him, more than half a month has passed now. But now there is no movement in the officialdom of Guicheng, that is to say, the Zhao family and the other side have not finished ripping their skins!
Of course, it's only a matter of time. I believe that it will not be long before a major earthquake will occur in the Guicheng officialdom, which has been calm for a long time. And all this also shows that (to be continued.) )
