The little girl is the daughter of Yan Jiyun's fifth aunt, and she is only ten years old this year, which is the age of innocence and childlike speech. Lai looked at him with a smile in Yan Jiyun's arms: "Brother is so handsome...... Yesterday my brother took me to the school gate, and the female classmates in our class saw my brother...... One also said that she wanted to be her brother's girlfriend...... Hee-hee......"

"Girlfriend?" Yan Ji Yunjun's face twitched slightly.

"Hee-hee...... Whoever makes my brother look so good, I also want to find a boyfriend who is as handsome as my brother! ”

"You're only ten years old......" Yan Jiyun was helpless, the children now are maturing too fast.

Xinya pouted: "There are several pairs in our class, and I haven't found a boy I can look at yet." ”

"Okay, well, when Xinya has a crush on someone, remember to tell my brother, and my brother will invite you to eat ice cream when the time comes."

"Okay!" Xinya clapped her hands happily, she liked to eat ice cream the most, and only Yan Jiyun would take her to eat it, and her parents would only say that she would gain weight after eating ice cream, and would not let her eat it.

The childish laughter of the child drove away the awkward and dreary air in the room, and it was time for dinner.

Walking downstairs, an energetic old man, dressed in a brown silk Tang suit, with gray hair but a ruddy complexion, not angry but mighty, domineering and awe-inspiring, the wrinkles on his face are also traces of his vicissitudes. He is Yan Hongzhang.

Yan Hongzhang's appearance made the living room quiet, and everyone stood up and looked at him respectfully, including Xiao Xinya, who also obediently shrank in Yan Jiyun's arms.

"Everyone is here, let's eat." Yan Hongzhang's simple words, slow and powerful, show the demeanor of the head of the family.

A dining table that could accommodate more than twenty people was suddenly full, Yan Hongzhang sat in the chief, and Yan Jiyun sat on his left. Yan Cone sat on his right side, and the rest of the people sat down in order of seniority, without the slightest deviation.

In the Yan family, even eating is based on seniority. It's a house rule. Family rules that have been passed down from ancestors. Yan Jiyun is the most powerful person in the family except for Yan Hongzhang, so he sits on the left side. And Yan Cone's status in the company is second only to Yan Jiyun, so he sits on the right side.

The Yan family is strict, although this is an enlightened era, but there are some rules to abide by when you are born in the Yan family, which everyone in the family has been cultivating since childhood, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.

The table is full of delicacies, but no one will move the chopsticks first, because Yan Hongzhang has not spoken yet.

The atmosphere was very serious, and even those who had sneered at Yan Jiyun before maintained a polite attitude and look.

Yan Hongzhang looked around at everyone, Zuihou's eyes fell on Yan Jiyun, seeing that he was not shocked and indifferent, and looked a little out of place with everyone, Yan Hongzhang frowned slightly: "Let's eat chopsticks, the chef made a few new dishes today, how about you try it." ”

The old man spoke, and the others began to eat. Few people talk during the meal, and even when they do, they only whisper praises for the deliciousness of the dishes, and do not make loud noises. And they all eat as if they have been trained, gently, chewing slowly. You won't see anyone's chopsticks reaching out to the other side of the plate, and they will all consciously only pinch the side of the plate towards the side in front of you.

If you want to drink soup, you can only use a spoon to scoop it into your own bowl, and you can't put your chopsticks into the soup bowl to stir it.

The servants are always on the side, and the food that needs to be cut with a knife and fork in the middle of the table will be cut by the servants and distributed to their bowls, they will not get up and do it themselves, they must maintain etiquette and grace at all times.

During the banquet, Yan Hongzhang would ask everyone present about their work and study, and report to whoever they asked. Yan Jiyun felt that this was like a family banquet, more like a company making a report and holding a meeting...... He didn't feel the warmth and harmony, only coldness and boredom.

Restrained and uncomfortable, Yan Jiyun was very disgusted with such a family banquet in his heart, buried himself in eating, and planned to withdraw after eating for a while. He couldn't stand the dreary atmosphere, and he would rather go back to his residence and cook a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach......

The Yan family was accustomed to such a family banquet, and before they were about to finish the table, Yan Hongzhang spoke again.

"There is an important thing to say about calling you all back for dinner today...... It is about the marriage of Yan Jiyun and Yan Cone. You are all elders, and if you have any ideas or suitable candidates, you can put them forward. Yan Hongzhang said lightly, but his words undoubtedly brought quite a shock.
