Chapter 444: The Gift

Huang Zicong's words are to release a message to the people in this banquet: You are more close to my daughter, it is obvious that you have plans to get married.

You know, for a woman, the saddest thing is not that she has no wealth, but that she does not have the right to pursue happiness.

However, compared to the ancient arranged marriage, it is still much better, at the very least, she did not directly designate a partner, and she didn't know what her man looked like until the wedding night.

There is still the right to let Huang Xiaoyan have a choice, but the people who choose are among the people who attended the banquet today, of course, not everyone in this can be Huang Zicong's son-in-law, and it must be confirmed by the Huang family in the end.

Everyone at the scene, although Yun Tao did not see it completely at once, but through the observation of sitting in the corner just now, not to mention much, at least six or seven out of ten young people have problems with their conduct, and these are all wealthy families, once the conduct is poor, there must be no happiness after marriage, isn't this the most cruel punishment for a woman?

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Huang Xiaoyan on the stage, her original shining eyes suddenly dimmed, and although her face did not show it, Yun Tao knew that she must be extremely sad at the moment.

Most of the guests who came today were young people, and the proportion of men was six or seven out of ten, after hearing the news, they were obviously very excited, and many of them were flushed, staring at Huang Xiaoyan on the stage with burning eyes.

Of course, a small number of people did not behave so badly, and looked around with gloomy faces. However, when he looked at Huang Xiaoyan on the stage, there was still a flash of heat and desire! Hope. Apparently. They are all people who want to kiss each other.

For such marriages between large families. Yun Tao was very ashamed, but fortunately, Yun Tao saw that Huang Xiaoyan's mother did not express the slightest attitude towards what her husband said, but still looked at her daughter with a loving face, and the gaze in her eyes never changed. And Huang Xiaoyan also looked at her mother from time to time, obviously, the relationship between mother and daughter is very good.

For Huang Xiaoyan's mother, Yun Tao did not have the slightest blame in his heart, after all, in this kind of big family, the daughter-in-law who married had little right to speak.

Moreover, Yuntao also learned that because the old man of the Huang family is the traditional older generation, the idea of patriarchy is extremely serious, which also causes the Huang family to carry forward this tradition to the extreme.

Listen to Jing Ting and Liu Yiyi. The elders of Huang Xiaoyan's family, as well as the younger generations. None of them are free to fall in love, they are all arranged marriages by the family, and the most democratic is to hold such a birthday party, let the female children of the family choose a few girls they like, and then after the family weighs the pros and cons, pick out the boy who the family thinks is the best to do the marriage.

"Wife, didn't you say that Huang Xiaoyan has a boyfriend? What's going on? ”

Yun Tao asked a little incomprehensibly, since Huang Xiaoyan has a boyfriend, her father shouldn't say such things.

"I didn't say that Huang Xiaoyan has a boyfriend, I said that she has a boy she likes, and that man also likes her, but they haven't really confirmed the boyfriend and girlfriend relationship." Jing Ting said.

"Does Huang Xiaoyan's family know about this?" Yun Tao asked.

"I know, just because I know, Uncle Huang is so anxious to promote his daughter." Jing Ting said.

"Why? Could it be that the boy's family background is not good, and Huang Xiaoyan's family looks down on him! Yun Tao asked, after all, this wealthy nobleman is the most particular about coming to the door.

"That's not it, that boy's name is Liu Haiyang, and he is also a child of a big family, but this family is a political enemy of the Huang family, so the Huang family doesn't agree with her and Liu Haiyang at all, so they hold such a big birthday party, just to choose a target for Xiaoyan today, so that Xiaoyan will die of being with Liu Haiyang." Jing Ting said.

"Oh, it looks like another poignant story!"

Yun Tao said with some emotion, it seems that this is the sorrow of the children of wealthy families, and when they enjoy material satisfaction, they will also lose some freedom.

"Husband, when is it, you are still talking about cool things!" Jing Ting said a little depressed.

"I'm just a little emotional, it seems that Huang Xiaoyan is really pitiful, she can't live her life with the person she likes." Yun Tao said.

"Husband, you have to think of a way to see if you can help Xiaoyan, she is really pitiful, she can't be with the man she loves, if I can't be with you, I guess I don't have the idea of living." Jing Ting looked at Yun Tao pleadingly and said.

"Wife, this is someone's own family matter, your husband is an outsider, what can he do to help!"

Yun Tao said depressedly, his wife really regards herself as omnipotent, and even wants to let herself deal with this matter, she really overestimates herself, you must know that even Qing officials are difficult to cut off family affairs.

"Husband, can't we watch Xiaoyan jump into the fire pit?"

Jing Ting said, Jing Ting must come with her man this time, she wants her man to find a way to help her good sister, if there is really no good way, let her man chase Huang Xiaoyan, jump into someone else's fire pit, it is better to jump into her own man's fire pit, at least her own man is the best man in the world.

"This, wife, husband, I really don't have any good way."

Yun Tao said, Yun Tao didn't want such a beautiful girl as Huang Xiaoyan to end up in the arms of others, but he was not qualified to say anything about Huang Xiaoyan, he was able to participate in this drinking party, and he was still stained with the light of Jing Ting and Liu Yiyi.

"Then husband, are we just making Xiaoyan miserable, she is my good sister?" Jing Ting said a little unhappily.

"It depends on the situation, maybe she can find a man she is satisfied with in this drinking party, and you don't have to worry about it." Yun Tao comforted his woman and said.

"Husband, there is some truth in what you said."

Jing Ting thought about it and felt that what her man said also had a certain amount of truth, and she couldn't figure out that her good sister Huang Xiaoyan really found her Prince Charming at this banquet, it seemed that she was really a little too worried.

That's it. A large three-tiered cake was pushed from outside the hall. Twenty candles were inserted. said that Huang Xiaoyan is twenty years old this year.

"Okay, next, let's let the little girl blow out the candles first." Huang Zicong was obviously in high spirits and said happily to the people in the hall.

Huang Xiaoyan stepped forward, blew out the candles, and before making a wish, her eyes glanced deeply at Yuntao's side, and then slowly closed her eyes.

These ceremonies soon came to an end. As for eating cakes, who wants to eat and cut them by themselves when the time comes, it can be seen that Huang Xiaoyan has no intention of cutting cakes for others.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you young people, you are all young talents, and you have a good exchange together."

After Huang Zicong finished speaking, he stepped off the stage and stood not far away to talk with people of the same generation, this kind of banquet. It is for everyone to connect with each other and enhance their relationship. As for his daughter, it is obvious that Huang Zicong is ready to leave these scenes to the young man to deal with.

Huang Xiaoyan's mother glanced at her daughter lovingly, but she still reluctantly followed her husband away, and in a blink of an eye, Huang Xiaoyan was the only one left on the stage, and that figure looked extremely lonely.

Huang Zicong's words made Yun Tao very contemptuous, what is the young generation of talents, to be precise, "money talents" and "official talents"......

All of them are people who rely on the family's shadow to gain benefits, of course, not all of them rely on the family, but the people here, Yuntao dare not say all, but there are also seven or eight out of ten who are completely gentlemen, and they are also the kind of low-level gentlemen, who are not high-grade at all.

"Sister Xiaoyan, I'm here!" Jing Ting waved her arms and shouted to Huang Xiaoyan in the distance.

"Hehe, wife, you lady, a lot of people are watching?"

Yun Tao said with a smile, his woman shouted loudly at such a high-level banquet, which made many people see it, but Yun Tao didn't think there was anything bad, Yun Tao just liked Jing Ting, frank and not pretentious.

"Husband, don't you like my unladylike appearance?" Jing Ting didn't care about the strange eyes of the people next to her, but cared about her man's thoughts.

"Hehe, wife, I like everything you look like, I was joking with you just now." Yun Tao said.

"Really?" Jing Ting asked with some disbelieving.

"Really, really." Yun Tao said.

"Jing Ting, you're here, I thought you weren't coming?" Huang Xiaoyan came to Yuntao, and said happily beside them.

"Xiaoyan, today is your twentieth birthday, as your good sister, why wouldn't I come?" Jing Ting said.

"I'm very happy that you can come, but it's a pity that Yiyi didn't come, otherwise our three sisters would have come." Huang Xiaoyan said with some regret.

"Yiyi is also here, where are you chatting with old friends?" Jing Ting pointed to Liu Yiyi, who was chatting happily with a few young men and women in a corner.

"It's really good, our three sisters got together today, you can drink with me in the evening, let's not get drunk." Huang Xiaoyan said with some sadness.

"Well, we don't get drunk at night." Jing Ting said.

"Hello Huang Xiaoyan, I wish you a happy birthday!" Yuntao said to Huang Xiaoyan.

"Thank you!"

Huang Xiaoyan looked at Yun Tao deeply and said, although Huang Xiaoyan didn't have a good impression of this man who secretly took advantage of his good sister Liu Yiyi last time, but after all, he was the man of his good sister Jing Ting, and people also came to attend the birthday banquet, Huang Xiaoyan didn't give Yun Tao a bad color, just found such a good one for his good sister! Lustful men are not worth it.

However, when she thought of herself, Huang Xiaoyan's face was a little gloomy, she may not be as good as Jing Ting, after all, Jing Ting and this man are what she likes, and she feels very happy.

And what about yourself? What kind of man is his future, I don't know, maybe it's not as good as this Yuntao, after all, this Yuntao is very good to his good sister Jing Ting, which can be seen from the eyes between them.

"Husband, give her the gift you want to give to Xiaoyan." Jing Ting hugged Yuntao's arm and said. (To be continued......)
