Chapter 267: Toast
() With Ji Wanyi taking the initiative first, Xu's mother-in-law, who is the future mother-in-law, can't be disrespectful, and she also raised her glass.
Meng Shi also immediately followed suit.
For a while, the three of them seemed to be harmonious and had an excellent relationship.
This made those who had been waiting to see the excitement dumbfounded.
"It's not like what was rumored!" The wife of a certain clerk sitting below bit her ear at her best friend. "Didn't you say that these two families didn't get along because of the marriage? I look like I'm on a good relationship! β
The best friend of the little official's wife said: "I'm also wondering, I heard that these two families almost didn't go to the palace to withdraw the marriage, why did they suddenly ......"
The wife of the little official said: "Shhh, be quiet, maybe it's just for show, they, the upper-level officials and wives, just like to make some face." β
The best friend said: "I heard that the lady of the Zhao family also has a bad deal with the Ji family, you said that the two of them are here today, will they make a fuss?" β
The little official's wife smiled thiefly: "Then who knows?" Let's just wait and see. β
The two of them, you look at me, and I look at me, both obviously looking like they want to see the excitement.
Zhao Zhen'er also lived up to what these two people thought, sitting there and watching Ji Wanyi talk and laugh with Ji's mother from time to time, and her heart became more and more unhappy.
One didn't hold back, so she opened her mouth: "Yo, Wanyi, the day of your marriage is coming, right?" Why don't you stay at home and get married? β
There is no previous friendship between the two of them, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to call their names affectionately, and Zhao Zhener's word "Wanyi" is obviously provoking trouble.
Ji Wanyi also understands Zhao Zhen'er's temper very thoroughly, if Zhao Zhen'er can really hold back and don't do anything today, then Ji Wanyi will feel that something is wrong.
Ji Wanyi smiled and said: "The wedding is naturally managed by the people in the family, even if I stay at home, it is just to pass the time, it is better to come out and gather with everyone, but it can be more lively." β
Ji Wanyi said very naturally, as if she really didn't feel Zhao Zhen'er's bad intentions, calm and atmospheric, which made her aside
Xu Shi, who watched it, was quite satisfied.
"I heard that your fiancΓ© Xie Xiaohou has not come back yet, the wedding of the two of you is getting closer and closer, and I don't know if Xie Xiaohou can come back in a hurry?" Zhao Zhen'er said innocently.
Ji Mu, Meng's eyes, and Xu's eyes became cold at the same time.
At this moment, the Xu family somewhat understands why the Ji family is so dissatisfied with this family business. Ask yourself, if she has a baby daughter herself, but she is so humiliated by the man in marriage, she is afraid that it will be even more excessive than what the Ji family did!
Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she was about to speak, but she didn't expect Ji Wanyi to speak one step ahead of her.
"Xie Xiaohou Ye is at the border pass, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country, this is what he should do as a citizen of Yongsheng and as a marquis, and only in this way can he be worthy of the emperor's trust in him."
"Nowadays, the people at the border pass are still living in difficulty, and from time to time they will be harassed by the Huns, as a general, he should be in the front, first have a country and then a family, how can he ignore the safety of the country and the people because of the personal feelings of his children? If he comes back alone just because he wants to get married, I, Ji Wanyi, will look down on him! And now"
Ji Wanyi's tone was firm, her eyes were burning, and she calmly and confidently swept towards everyone present one by one:
"He's a hero and I'm so proud to be married to someone like that! This is a royal marriage, and the emperor's grace is vast, even if he can't come back in time? He is defending the people of Yongsheng, and I, and all of you here, are also the people of Yongsheng, and for me, he is the same whether he is at the border or in the capital! β
Ji Mu and Meng had to look very proud of Ji Wanyi for saying such things, but in their hearts, their hearts seemed to have been scratched a few times with a knife, and they were sparkling with blood!
Especially Meng, this is her daughter who was raised by thousands of pets, how could she have been wronged like this?
If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of outsiders waiting to see the excitement now, she would just want to have a big fight with the mother and daughter of the Xu family and the Zhao family!
And the Xu family was deeply shocked by Ji Wanyi's words.
Regardless of whether Ji Wanyi's words were sincere or to calm the scene, she had to admit that these words saved the face of the Xie family, the Ji family, and the emperor!
The Xu family was really scared at the moment, she didn't dare to imagine that if the marriage of the two children at today's banquet changed again because of the Zhao family's frivolous words, what kind of thunderous anger would the emperor treat the Xie family!
Xu sneered and looked at the mother and daughter of the Zhao family, and at the same time, she stretched out her hand and applauded Ji Wanyi slowly and rhythmically:
"What a country first and then a family, Wanyi is worthy of being the daughter of General Ji, and she really has the style of a father! My Xie family can marry such a daughter-in-law, it is really a blessing for my Xie family! β
Today is Ji's mother holding a banquet, and Zhao Zhen'er's obviously provocative words did not take Ji's mother and the Ji family in his eyes. Ji's mother's impression of Zhao Zhen'er has deteriorated a lot. At the same time, I was secretly glad in my heart, fortunately, my son did not fall in love with such a girl!
Ji's mother picked up the wine glass and said: "Master Xie Hou protects the family and defends the country, it is worthy of admiration, Miss Ji is young and open-minded to the people, and she is also a model for women of my generation, let's all toast to these two young people!" β
Seeing this, everyone also raised their glasses, except for the mother and daughter of the Zhao family.
Zhao Zhen'er still didn't realize what she had done wrong again.
She was just angry, why was the benefit taken away by Ji Wanyi in the end no matter what?
Obviously, Ji Wanyi should be the one who should be ridiculed the most, and obviously Ji Wanyi just said a few high-sounding flattering words!
Why did everyone suddenly start toasting her?
It's not fair!
Zhao Zhen'er gritted her teeth and stared at Ji Wanyi with resentful eyes.
"Why don't you raise your glass quickly, what are you doing there?" Mrs. Zhao urged in an angry whisper.
"Mother, how can you ......" Zhao Zhen'er's attention was always on Ji Wanyi's mother and daughter, and she didn't notice her mother's actions for a while.
Suddenly, she was stunned to hear her mother urging her like this.
"Shut up! Hurry up and do what I say! Mrs. Zhao scolded in a low voice as she looked at the people around her. She didn't want anyone around her to notice the little movements of their mother and daughter.
"If you don't want to cause trouble, give me a toast!" Mrs. Zhao urged again.
