Although Chu Chen really wanted to see what was inside the holding pot, it was definitely inconvenient to check it on this occasion now, so after Zhu Dafu and Zhao Xueyi entered the door, he could only press his thoughts, and then stand at the door with Wu Ke to greet the guests.

Then Zhou Wenping and they also came, and when the group saw Chu Chen's villa, they were very surprised, although they also knew that Chu Chen was very rich, but the security of this community was not to mention, just the area of the villa shocked them.

When they walked into the courtyard and saw the small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard, they were even more amazed.

When they walked into the villa, they saw that many of the guests sitting in the room were both non-rich and rich, especially the older generation of revolutionaries sitting at the main table, they immediately became restrained, but their hearts were also full of longing for the future.

At the same time, Zhao Qirui's family of three and A Chao also arrived.

Zhao Heyan wrinkled her nose and said: "Dad, you are really, that Mercedes-Benz has been around for several years, and you don't know how to change it, break down halfway, and lose it!" ”

"I said you girl, it's endless, and you've been mumping and talking, and besides, be careful that I beat you!" Zhao Qirui said viciously, but if you look closely, you can see that he is pretending.

"It's my responsibility that the car wasn't well maintained." Ah Chao said embarrassedly.

"Alright, alright! Don't talk about it! Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said: "In the final analysis, it is the relationship between the quality of the parts that were replaced last time and the quality of the parts, but this car has been driven for several years, and it is time to replace it." Achen, why don't we buy one together? ”

"I don't have a car anymore!" Chu Chen waved his hand.

"One car is enough! Don't you need it? Zhao Qirui said: "And my sister's car has been driving for a long time. Let's swap it out when the time comes. ”

"Uncle, I'm going to England to study. Isn't it a waste to buy a car now! Wu Ke hurriedly said.

"That's too!" Zhao Qirui nodded: "Then let's change it for my sister first, what do you think?" ”

"Okay!" Of course, Chu Chen would not have any opinions on this matter.

"When will I be able to buy a car?" Zhao Heyan muttered.

"What car do children buy, wait until you graduate from college!" Gao Yiya glared at Zhao Heyan.

"Ahh That's not going to be years to wait! Zhao Heyan wailed.

"If you call again, you will pay for the car yourself!" Gao Yiya said with a straight face.

As soon as she heard that she had to pay for the car, Zhao Heyan immediately slapped her mother's ass, which made everyone else laugh.

"Achen, this is my gift to you! See if you like it or not! Subsequently. Zhao Qirui smiled and handed the box in his hand to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen opened the box, what he didn't expect was that the box was not an antique calligraphy and painting, but a real estate certificate and a bunch of keys, which made him a little surprised, raised his head and asked, "This is?" ”

"Some time ago, I happened to see a courtyard house for sale, and the price was quite appropriate, so I bought it." Zhao Qirui replied with a smile.

"Quadrangle?"

The people around were extremely curious when they heard it. Then Chu Chen opened the real estate certificate and looked at it, and Wu Ke immediately exclaimed: "The area is 5,300 square meters? ”

"There is also a basement, which is nearly 5,500 square meters!" Zhao Qirui said with a smile.

Liu Sizhe and the others suddenly gasped, such a big courtyard. Even with their relationship, it is worth more than 40 million, and the key is that even if they are rich. Such a large courtyard house is also so easy to buy.

"Uncle, your gift is too valuable. I can't take it! Chu Chen waved his hand and wanted to return the real estate certificate to Zhao Qirui.

"You kid. What's so valuable about this, to you, tens of millions are nothing! ”

Zhao Qirui glared at Chu Chen, waved his hand and said, "Also, the things I gave out of my hand have never been returned, you are so hypocritical, be careful that I am angry!" ”

When Chu Chen saw his uncle say this, he had no choice but to accept it, but what made him feel a little embarrassed was, what should I do with that courtyard house, is it so empty? That's too wasteful, if he wants to move to the courtyard to live, he is a little reluctant to live in this villa, and Liu Lao lives not far away, he can often visit and ask for advice.

"Xie Lu, Uncle Xie, aunt!"

Zhao Qirui nodded with a smile, and then said: "By the way, because that courtyard house is in disrepair, I estimate that it will be torn down and restarted, but this matter can only trouble you yourself!" ”

"That's how it should be!" Chu Chen said with a smile. Since the courtyard is going to be demolished and rebuilt, then make a decision when you move or not.

…………

welcomed Zhao Qirui's family into the living room, Chu Chen and Wu Ke welcomed a few more guests, and basically the guests were almost there.

Because it was just an engagement, the people who came this time were mainly Chu Chen's relatives and some friends, and in addition to the people from the division, there were also several of my father's colleagues, who happened to fill the living room.

The ceremony of engagement and marriage is really simpler, but it is actually similar in other places. It's just that a family like Chu Chen, under normal circumstances, whether it is an engagement or a marriage, it is best to choose Chinese style for the ceremony, of course, in comparison, Chu Chen also prefers Chinese etiquette.

However, Wu Ke is a girl after all, and she still prefers ceremonies full of romantic tones, in this regard, Chu Chen can only say sorry to her, and then make up for a romantic honeymoon!

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the engagement ceremony of Mr. Chu Chen and Miss Wu Ke......

At 11:58 p.m., the engagement ceremony officially began, Chu Chen and Wu Ke, the newlyweds, although they had rehearsed for a while yesterday, they began to get nervous when they arrived at the scene, and then the two were like puppets, listening to the host's command, and proceeding step by step according to the process.

In the end, when the newlyweds toast tea to the fathers of both parties, this relatively Chinese-style engagement ceremony is completed.

After the ceremony, several respected old people were invited to a specially set table in the back room, and the atmosphere of the scene immediately became lively.

"Come, you two come in together......" Chu Zhengrong beckoned to the two.

Chu Chen and Wu Ke hurriedly followed in.

"This thing is for you, when you get married, it's best to have a multiple baby!"

The old lady pulled Wu Ke to her side, took out a jade pendant from her pocket with a kind face, and put it in Wu Ke's hand.

"Grandma, this multiple birth is not something that can be born if you want to!" Chu Chen smiled bitterly.

"Then it's up to you to try!" The old lady said with a smile.

When Chu Chen heard this, he was speechless and said, "This thing doesn't come by working hard!" ”

"That's it! It's up to Xiaobao and their creation! ”

Chu Zhengrong smiled and took out a very old fountain pen from his pocket, put it in Chu Chen's hand and said: "Xiaobao, I have treated you badly all these years, and there are no good things around my Lao Tzu, this fountain pen has been by my side since I participated in the revolution, and I will pass it on to you now!" ”

"Grandpa, this is your beloved thing, how can you give it to me!" Chu Chen hurriedly excused himself.

"What's wrong with that!" Chu Zhengrong waved his hand and said, "I'm eighty-four, and I don't have a few years to live, so I'll leave this thing with you as a souvenir!" ”

"Xie Lu, Grandpa Xie! ……”

Chu Chen also knew that the old man was stubborn, and it was difficult to take back the things he decided, so he accepted it respectfully in the end. However, he also secretly decided in his heart that when he succeeds in learning, he must help his grandfather take care of his body.

"It's really a little family!"

Old Man Zhao muttered in a low voice, and then took out something from his pocket, handed it to Chu Chen, and said:

"Xiaobao, this thing was snatched from a bandit before I joined the revolution! I think back then, when I was fighting devils, the table above helped me a lot. However, because I didn't pay attention when I was fighting, there were some injuries on it. ”

When Chu Chen saw the thing in his hand, he was slightly surprised, it was actually a snuff box with Western enamel.

Cantonese enamel is a kind of metal tire enamel process in Lingnan, the main method is to chisel flowers on metal tires, paste gold and silver patterns, and then cover transparent enamel glaze firing.

This snuffbox is a copper-tied, flat-flagged, oval-shaped flat-footed. The whole body is pasted with silver flowers, with translucent carmine glaze on it, and the pearl purse-shaped light is inlaid in the middle of both sides, and the flowers are painted in the middle. On both sides, there are five bunches of gold flowers, green glaze and inlaid pearl grapes, forming a petal pattern near the foot.

The cap of the snuff box is set with a clock, the white enamel dial, the two hands, the full Roman numerals, the lid can be opened and closed, the pearl is set on one side, the copper spoon is on the side, and the top of the spoon and the rim of the bottle are affixed with gold flowers.

This kind of snuff bottle with a clock has not been handed down very much, and Chu Chen has the impression that there are only two or three pieces in the museum, all of which were tributes from abroad to the Qing court in the 19th century.

The value of a snuff bottle like this is still very expensive, although there is some damage on the surface, but because Mr. Zhao has used it for most of his life, not only does it not affect its value, but it has increased a lot.

Of course, unless Chu Chen had a problem with his brain, how could he take this snuffbox out of it and sell it, he was going to use the pen and snuffbox as family heirlooms!

Subsequently, Chu Chen hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Old Zhao and his son. ……

Outside, the parents of both sides took out the gifts that had been prepared and gave them to the young couple, although the gifts of both sides were not very expensive, but they were carefully selected, after all, this is an engagement ceremony, not a competition to show off their wealth.

Next, it's time to toast, although there are not too many guests here today, but they can drink, and those who can drink are everywhere, everyone's combat effectiveness at the wine table is amazing, plus Chu Chen has blocked Wu Ke countless times for wine, even with his powerful physique, he is a little dizzy after the most Lu.
