Chapter 356: The Family Banquet Begins at the Main Table
The Qin family's family banquet was huge, and when Zhen Jiabao lived in the Qin family's guest room, he saw the Qin family's subordinates busy coming and going along the way, making enough preparations.
In the evening, Qin Shan also came to see Zhen Jiabao once, after all, today to let Zhen Jiabao be alone by his secretary to hang out outside, if you really want to talk about it, it can be regarded as snubbing Zhen Jiabao, so Qin Shan is also afraid that Zhen Jiabao will be dissatisfied in his heart.
Fortunately, Zhen Jiabao has a big heart, knowing that that kind of occasion is not suitable for outsiders to be present, and he is afraid that if he is present, it will disturb their family to exchange feelings, so he didn't take it to heart at all.
Li Yu was left in his room by the old lady to rest together, Zhen Jiabao heard Qin Shan say that the old lady has now remembered the previous things and was very surprised-Li Zhiming has always felt very guilty about the old lady of the Qin family, and he must be relieved now.
Qin Shan looked at Zhen Jiabao with a smile and nodded approvingly.
When Zhen Jiabao woke up the next morning, he could hear the endless hustle and bustle outside in the guest room, and it stands to reason that the room where Zhen Jiabao was located was already very secluded, which was enough to prove how lively the Qin family's family banquet was.
Zhen Jiabao originally thought that even if he participated in the Qin family's family banquet, it would just be a family meal together, but he didn't expect that a big family like the Qin family would naturally have a large number of people, and he suddenly didn't want to participate.
But since they have all lived in the Qin family, Zhen Jiabao thought about it, but there was no good way to temporarily refuse Qin Shan's kindness, standing at the window and watching the flow of people coming and going faintly outside, Zhen Jiabao bit his lip and regretted it infinitely.
I knew that I should have rejected Qin Shan's invitation yesterday, although Helian Quan and the Qin family can be regarded as relatives, but what is the matter with the appearance of other people's family banquets.
Zhen Jiabao refused to admit that he was nervous because he was about to be introduced to the rest of the Qin family in public, but instead thought in his heart that his identity was not suitable.
It's a pity that Zhen Jiabao hasn't been entangled for long, Li Zhiming has already put on a full set of dresses and knocked on Zhen Jiabao's door.
It was already late at night when he came out of the old lady's room yesterday, although Li Zhiming originally wanted to say a few words to Zhen Jiabao to apologize, but he still gave up after thinking about it, so he got up early this morning and met Zhen Jiabao first after breakfast, and then went to the banquet hall together at noon for a while.
Zhen Jiabao looked behind Li Zhiming when he saw him, and when he saw Li Yu's whereabouts, he asked specifically.
Li Zhiming had a helpless smile on his face: "The old lady likes him, so she left him in her room for one night." ”
Zhen Jiabao nodded knowingly-it should have been like this.
Li Zhiming could see that Zhen Jiabao had some nervousness on his face, but he didn't break it, but took the initiative to talk to Zhen Jiabao about some more relaxed topics, and the time passed quite quickly.
Qin Shan attaches great importance to Zhen Jiabao, although today is the day of the Qin family's family banquet, he is busy with Zhang Luo's body and lacks skills, but in his busy schedule, he did not forget to tell the Qin family's housekeeper to send someone to serve Zhen Jiabao to change his dress and makeup.
Zhen Jiabao and Li Zhiming chatted for a while, and after chatting for a while, they did relieve the tension in their hearts a little, and when the maid of the Qin family knocked on the door, they found that there was only about an hour left before the banquet began.
In order not to dominate the crowd, the dress that Zhen Jiabao chose yesterday under the leadership of Qin Shan's secretary did not look too eye-catching, it was just a decent mid-length skirt, but because Zhen Jiabao's skin was white, it was still very amazing, at least the two strange maids who were responsible for changing the dress and makeup for Zhen Jiabao saw Zhen Jiabao after changing the dress
At that moment, there was a light of envy in his eyes.
After changing into the dress, Zhen Jiabao and Li Zhiming were taken to the banquet hall to sit down in advance - Qin Shan had already arranged everything in the banquet hall, the banquet hall of the Qin family's house occupied a large area, and Zhen Jiabao and Li Zhiming were attracted by the exquisite arrangement as soon as they entered the door.
The Qin family has a huge flower hall, Zhen Jiabao has never been here before, and he couldn't help but be startled when he walked in.
There are more than ten tables of banquets in the hall, there is a stage in front, more than 100 people are seated, and the next people shuttle back and forth, serving food, waiting for guests, densely packed, but it does not look crowded.
At this time, the hall was full of people, whether it was the main branch or the side branch, they were all sitting together and greeting each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
As soon as Zhen Jiabao and Li Zhiming entered the door of the banquet hall, they were all watched, these two people were fresh faces, and they were personally led into the banquet hall by Qin Shan, which was naturally the focus of everyone's attention.
"Big brother, I don't seem to have seen these two distinguished guests much, I don't know who they are?"
Immediately, some people raised their own questions about Qin Shan, and some people muttered a little in their hearts when they saw Li Zhiming's face.
Although there are not many people in the Qin family who remember Li Zhiming, it is definitely not nothing, of course Qin Shan knows about this matter, so he didn't answer their questions now, just smiled slightly.
"You'll know when you should know, just wait in your seat now, and you'll find the answer in a while."
Although the expression on Qin Shan's face was kind, it carried an indisobedient meaning, even if someone still had the heart to coax, but looking at Qin Shan's face, he didn't dare to act rashly.
There were people in the banquet hall who noticed this scene, and they all hid their own thoughts in their hearts, and they were even more surprised to see Qin Shan bring these two strangers to the main table.
You must know that a large family like the Qin family pays the most attention to the patriarchal law of generation, and being able to sit at the main table to participate in the banquet means that their identity can be said to be supreme in the Qin family.
"What are these two people coming from, and how can they sit at the main table as soon as they appear here?"
"Who knows, looking at that girl's appearance, it's not a ......"
The people below talked about it, but they didn't dare to openly express their dissatisfaction - you must know that although Qin Shan said that he was usually quite generous to his family, if they really angered the head of the family, there would be no good fruit to eat.
"Whatever, today's occasion is not the biggest for the head of the family, wait for the old lady to come out and see what Qin Shan says."
……
Zhen Jiabao and Li Zhiming didn't know anything about all their discussions, but since entering the banquet hall, Zhen Jiabao didn't ignore any of them, and he was a little restless.
"Mr. Qin, isn't there something wrong with me sitting here? After all, I'm just ......"
"What did Miss Zhen say?"
Before Zhen Jiabao finished speaking, Qin Shan interrupted her unspoken words, and his expression was very serious.
"Letting you sit here was said by my mother yesterday, and you also have a great favor to our Qin family, so it is reasonable to let you sit here."
Zhen Jiabao still insisted on refusing: "Even if that's the case, it's okay to find me a place next to the main table, but I can't sit here anyway......"
Qin Shan no longer listened to Zhen Jiabao, and after taking the two of them to the seat, he went to Zhang Luo to do other things, Zhen Jiabao could only reluctantly sit on the seat of the main table with Li Zhiming.
Now the main table is empty except for the main seat and the next two seats, and the rest of the seats are gone
The scripture was filled with faces that Zhen Jiabao was unfamiliar with, and among them was a young woman with a baby in her arms, presumably Qin Shan's grandson who had just reached the full moon.
Zhen Jiabao smiled awkwardly at them, not knowing how to greet these orthodox Qin family members, but these people sitting at the main table had a very good attitude towards Zhen Jiabao - these people had already met Li Zhiming yesterday, and naturally knew Zhen Jiabao's identity.
Zhen Jiabao and Li Zhiming were arranged at the lower seat of the main table, which was not too public, and the young woman sitting next to Zhen Jiabao happened to be the young woman holding the baby, and greeted Zhen Jiabao cordially.
"Miss Zhen looks a little reserved, but it's all unnecessary, our whole family is very grateful to Miss Zhen, if Miss Zhen can't accept our thanks, we really don't know what to do."
Zhen Jiabao only smiled awkwardly when he heard this, thinking to himself that sitting here I don't know what to do for a while.
According to the usual practice, Qin Shan must first give a speech before the family banquet begins, and this year's Qin family's family banquet is also relatively special - because Qin Shan's new grandson has a full moon, the time of the family banquet will be postponed for a few days, so after the banquet officially began, when Qin Shan picked up the microphone, everyone tacitly stopped talking.
Since the death of the old man of the Qin family, the family banquet every year has been presided over by Qin Shan, and for this more formal occasion, Qin Shan's attitude has always been serious and respectful, but at the beginning of this banquet, everyone found that Qin Shan's expression was much more relaxed than in previous years.
It seems that the arrival of this grandson really made Qin Shan happy, almost everyone thought so silently in their hearts, but some careful people found that when Qin Shan gave a speech, the old lady had not yet entered.
According to the rules of previous years, the old lady should have been sitting in her seat at this time, and I don't know if it was because the old lady was in bad spirits this year, so she didn't show up.
Qin Shan said some polite words on the scene with a happy face, and then announced that he had risen in rank in the eyes of everyone, and calmly accepted their congratulations about his new grandson.
However, for Qin Shan, becoming a grandfather was not the happiest thing for him, so after the repeated congratulatory voices lasted for half a minute, he raised his hand to stop them from continuing.
"Actually, in addition to my grandson's full moon wine today, there is another happy event that needs to be celebrated with everyone——"
How can there be any happy event besides the full moon of the grandson? Everyone became curious, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qinshan gourd.
Zhen Jiabao has strangely calmed down now, and is no longer nervous, since it is inevitable to show her face in front of the Qin family today, she simply made up her mind to face it calmly, anyway, today's protagonists will also be on Li Zhiming's father and son, and many people should not notice her.
Qin Shan looked at the puzzled expressions on the faces of everyone present with satisfaction, and looked back at the old lady slowly walking out from behind the carved screen in the flower hall with Li Yu's support.
Before, those people thought that the old lady should not appear at the banquet, but they didn't expect that this was an arranged scene, and they were all a little surprised.
"Big brother, don't go around the bend anymore, look at what everyone is curious about."
I don't know who shouted such a sentence, everyone's eyes were turning on Li Yu with inexplicable meaning, and I don't know what the identity of this young boy who appeared out of nowhere was.
Qin Shan seemed to be very satisfied with their curiosity, and it was not until everyone's curiosity was aroused that he announced it after the old lady sat down.
