048 Rituals at the banquet
In addition, there are already many people in the venue at the moment, most of them are dressed up, men's suits and leather shoes, women's dresses and long skirts, showing the color of aristocracy.
When I saw this scene, my face immediately turned red, because except for me and Lin Feng, no one present was wearing clothes like ours, and even the waiters who poured wine were wearing bow ties in a serious manner.
Lin Feng on my side didn't seem to care much, he just stared at the delicious food on the long table with a pair of eyes, and the rest didn't seem to have anything to do with him.
I suddenly remembered something and pulled Lin Feng's sleeve.
"Do we have to prepare red envelopes when we come to the banquet? Isn't it okay to come empty-handed? ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a square table in the middle of the grass filled with gift boxes of all kinds of sizes, and at this time several guests happened to enter the venue, only to see that each of them was carrying a delicately wrapped gift box, and the gift box was placed on the square table under the guidance of the waiter.
At this time, a waiter happened to walk up to Lin Feng and me.
"Did the two gentlemen just arrive? This side please. ”
He looked at us first, as if he was strange at what we were wearing.
He led us to the gift table, and the waiter looked at us with a smile and didn't speak.
Of course, I knew what he meant, and I immediately felt embarrassed, and I, a person with no social experience, came to this kind of occasion for the first time, and I could only stammer.
"Well, we came here in a hurry today and forgot to prepare a gift."
As soon as I finished speaking, the waiter's face was pulled down, and he was just about to say something, but Lin Feng, who was beside me, suddenly laughed.
"Hey, hey, little brother, we forgot to buy this gift, but I prepared a red envelope, please accept it with your boss Nie."
After this guy finished speaking, he took out a long red envelope from his jacket pocket, which was bulging and swollen, and it seemed that he had a lot of money.
The waiter immediately changed his face again, and said with a quick smile.
"Yes, yes, Mr. is too polite, please put the red envelope here, we have a lottery tonight, I wish Mr. can win the jackpot."
Lin Feng pressed the red envelope under a gift box as the waiter intended, and then pulled me to the long table full of snacks and drinks.
I was stunned by him, and when I saw the waiter walking away, I hurriedly grabbed his arm and asked.
"What's going on? When did you prepare the red envelope? ”
Lin Feng grabbed a glass of orange juice and drained it in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said.
"Look at you like that, you don't have any social experience at all, how can you come empty-handed to the birthday party, I was ready before I came."
"Isn't it, where did you get all that money?"
"Khan, what's the money, I just stuffed a few pieces of red paper in it and said 'Happy Birthday'."
"Damn, how can you do this?"
"Shhh, you keep quiet, people will have to wait until the banquet is over to open the red envelope, by then we will have slipped away, the host must not know who put it, and besides, their family is so rich, what does it matter if we have a meal."
"That's not good, people kindly invited us to come, how can we make trouble like this."
"Khan, let's make it up when we have money, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and try this, it's really delicious."
Lin Feng said and directly stuffed a piece of mung bean cake into my mouth.
I was about to say something, but at that moment, the saxophone music next to me stopped, and then there was a burst of passionate music, and the crowd of people who were talking in groups of people paused to look at a white granite staircase not far away.
At the same time, a middle-aged man walked out from behind the stairs, only to see him waving his hand and smiling to greet the guests around him, Lin Feng and I didn't have to guess when we saw this scene, this person should be the host of tonight's banquet, Nie Zhensong, the director of Guangming Bank.
After Nie Zhensong waved his hand and walked down the stairs, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl appeared at the top of the stairs, only to see that the girl was wearing a light blue short skirt dress, stepping on a pair of white high heels, and wearing a shiny headdress on her delicate conch hairstyle.
Lin Feng and I were dumbfounded, although this girl's appearance cannot be said to be a sinking fish, but it can be regarded as a big beauty, I saw that she had an elegant aristocratic temperament between her gestures, especially when she greeted the guests with a smile, the two shallow dimples on her face simply intoxicated me.
"Dongxun, the best!" Lin Feng said involuntarily beside me.
I agree with him, to be honest, this girl suddenly gave me a heart-pounding feeling, which I had only had with Li Yan'er before, and tonight when this feeling flashed through my heart again, I suddenly had an indescribable excitement.
However, I quickly put away my nymphomaniac mentality and returned to reality, pulled Lin Feng, who was drooling, and pulled him aside, saving me from being seen and embarrassed.
"That should be Nie Zhensong's daughter, right? If you are rich, let's not worry about it. ”
Lin Feng wiped his mouth, glared at me and said.
"What's wrong with the rich man, if this girl is soaked by us, then we don't have to struggle, just go to the door to be a son-in-law and eat soft rice."
I glared back at him.
"You know how to eat soft rice, can you have a little interest?"
At this time, Nie Zhensong had already led the girl to the middle of the crowd, only to see him clear his throat and say loudly.
"Thank you for taking the time to attend Zhensong's birthday banquet tonight, and Zhensong would like to thank you for coming. Please enjoy a snack first, and the banquet will begin soon. ”
Nie Zhensong paused and glanced at the crowd, then continued.
"But then, please allow Zhensong to take this opportunity today to make an announcement to you."
The venue was silent, and people all looked at Nie Zhensong, who was smiling in the venue.
"Today, the little girl Anya will be engaged to Jiang Tao, the son of the Jiang family of the Rongsheng Society, and when the little girl reaches the age of 18, our two families will marry Qin and Jin, now let us invite Mr. Jiang Wenbin and Mr. Jiang Tao."
As soon as Nie Zhensong's words fell, the surrounding crowd suddenly burst into warm applause, and under the cheers of everyone, a middle-aged man led a boy about the same age as me to Nie Zhensong's side, Nie Zhensong smiled and pulled the boy named Jiang Tao to the girl in the light blue dress. Seeing this scene, everyone let out another burst of enthusiastic cheers.
Seeing this, I pulled Lin Feng's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"Can you get married at 18? Isn't the legal age for girls 20? ”
"Do you really not understand or are you pretending to be stupid? Do you think this is the mainland? In Macau, both men and women can get married at the age of 16, and they can marry late at the age of 18. ”
I stuck out my tongue and regretted exposing all my ignorance again.
