Chapter 574: The Banquet Begins with Turmoil
Today is the traditional festival of our country, the Flower Dynasty Festival, according to the annual practice to hold the Flower Dynasty banquet, but this year is the first time I have presided over such an occasion, if there is anything inconsiderate, I want the ladies and ladies to mention it. ”
Unexpectedly, although the prime minister's wife was dignified, she was very kind when she spoke, Zhen Jiabao blinked his eyes and secretly drank juice while listening to everyone present say to the prime minister's wife that today's banquet was really well organized.
The Prime Minister's wife, who was sitting on the throne, listened to the beautiful words of everyone in the audience and knew that she couldn't really go to her heart, but the smile on the corner of her mouth became higher and higher, and after waiting for a while, she waved her hand to stop and continued.
"In previous years, I was a guest at banquets, and now sitting here I know what it feels like to be flattered by my own wife, and I am really tired of it."
While talking, the Prime Minister's wife signaled to the entourage beside her, and the person immediately moved to the side, and everyone flattered him again, only Zhen Jiabao was curious about what the Prime Minister's wife had ordered that person just now.
A short time later, two attendants approached with a board in hand, and gave each guest a delicate brocade box filled with boxes full of air-dried unknown flower petals, and a gold brooch in it.
The delicate gold leaf water lily pattern, the center of the flower with a number of tiny red coral beads together, extremely exquisite, the lady sitting in the front first opened the box, after seeing this brooch, directly to the prime minister's wife praised: "Your thing is fine, it is difficult for such a small thing to have such a careful design, it looks really good." ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the guests sitting at the end were all eagerly waiting, just waiting for the attendants to hurry up and send the things to their side, so that they could also hurry up and praise a few words.
After the entourage handed the box to Zhen Jiabao, it was opened by Zhen Jiabao, but after seeing the brooch, Zhen Jiabao did not show the same surprised expression as the others, but just accepted the gift with a smile, and did not say anything about the rainbow fart.
In Zhen Jiabao's opinion, although this brooch is good-looking, it is somewhat cheesy, and the pure gold shape with the red coral dotted in the middle can only be suppressed by the fifty or sixty-year-old lady sitting in the first place, and a young girl like her can never take it.
It's just that Zhen Jiabao didn't expect that the prime minister's wife sitting on the throne paid attention to her expression intentionally or unintentionally, and seeing that Zhen Jiabao didn't seem to have much interest in this gift, she immediately raised the corner of her mouth and greeted Zhen Jiabao.
"I don't think Miss An's interest is very high, I wonder what Miss An thinks of this gift I have prepared?"
Zhen Jiabao had no doubt that if he said his true thoughts now, he would definitely become the target of public criticism, so in the face of the Prime Minister's wife's question, he just tried to show surprise.
"The shape of this brooch is exquisite, and the coral beads in the middle are also exquisitely carved, and it looks like it took a lot of thought to design, which is really difficult for your heart."
It's really hard for you to pick me out of these twenty people, and I really don't know what I have to pay attention to.
Zhen Jiabao complained silently in his heart, but on the surface, he lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, as if he was really moved by the gift of the Prime Minister's wife.
The Prime Minister's wife smiled and said: "In this case, then you can wear it directly, maybe everyone didn't know each other before today, and then you have to get along well and have more contacts." ”
After all, today is the Flower Dynasty Festival, so even if the Prime Minister's wife is dissatisfied with Zhen Jiabao, she can only suppress it, at most she just uses words to test Zhen Jiabao's character.
The Prime Minister's wife's words have stirred up a pool of spring water, and everyone here is basically familiar with it
Who is new to this?
It wasn't just Anderson's niece.
The implication of the Prime Minister's wife's words is just that Zhen Jiabao is the one who has broken his head to attend the banquet with them.
Except for Zhen Jiabao, which of these people here hasn't been upright since childhood? Where is there such a person like Zhen Jiabao who was introduced to the world by Anderson.
So as soon as I heard this, some people already understood what the prime minister's wife had intentions, and directly laughed, and then looked at Zhen Jiabao and said gently: "Miss An has indeed never attended such an occasion before, but don't feel restrained, we are all acquaintances, and we like to joke without scruples when we speak, don't mind." ”
The smile on the corner of Zhen Jiabao's mouth was about to stiffen, and he looked at the girl who spoke for a long time, and then pursed his lips and whispered embarrassedly: "Although I said that, I just don't know what to call you?" ”
The girl's face turned green immediately, and then the old lady who was sitting in the first place said leisurely: "It seems that I am really old, I don't know if I don't come, as soon as I came to this banquet today, I knew that there was such an excellent and beautiful daughter in our country G, and it is not unreasonable for Mr. Anderson to protect Miss An so well in the past." ”
"But even if Mr. Anderson wants to protect Miss An, there is no need to even let Miss An learn interpersonal communication, this is our upper-class people...... I don't know it, but it's a little too much to say. ”
Isn't it just trying to say that I squeezed into some so-called high society?
The corners of Zhen Jiabao's eyes twitched, and then he looked at the lady who spoke in the first place and smiled: "What this lady said is that in fact, my uncle also introduced me to many contacts, but when my uncle introduced people to me, he chose some in order to avoid ineffective social interactions, so he only let me know some of his business partners." ”
Anderson didn't introduce these ladies to Zhen Jiabao because he didn't pay attention to her, but because he looked down on the wives and ladies who stayed at home every day and had nothing to do, holding a banquet all day long, talking, drinking tea and chatting.
The young lady who was talking to Zhen Jiabao at the beginning was so angry that she clenched her teeth, in fact, she had been invited to the banquet as early as when Anderson introduced Zhen Jiabao to everyone, including the last celebration she also attended.
It's just that even so, Zhen Jiabao didn't take her seriously, what should this young lady who is naturally pretentious think?
The Prime Minister's wife sat on the throne and watched the wind and clouds below, and only then interrupted after watching everyone present die down because of Zhen Jiabao's words, looked at the sun and said: "It's still early, it's better to ladies and ladies, Miss will move freely first-the flowers on the side of the manor are blooming very well, and there are many places that are novel and interesting, everyone can walk around casually, or you can walk to the statue and worship before the feast." ”
The last sentence of the Prime Minister's wife seems to have been deliberately said to Zhen Jiabao, although there is no trace on his face, but among these people present, only Zhen Jiabao has never worshiped the statue before.
Zhen Jiabao is still pregnant with a child, and among the people present, she is the only one who has the most reason to worship the statue.
And Zhen Jiabao also just as the prime minister's wife said, took the little leopard sleeping on his lap into his hand, stood up with great effort on the table, watched the ladies and ladies leave here in twos and threes, and after estimating his physical strength, he also decided to walk to the statue.
Helian Quan had just retreated to the back after the Prime Minister's wife had entered, so as not to attract their attention
Meaning, when Zhen Jiabao was made difficult by those ladies and ladies in turn, although he almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, he still forcibly held back, God knows that Helian Quan's hand holding the gun just now has turned white.
At this time, as soon as he saw that Zhen Jiabao was going for a walk, Helian Quan immediately consciously followed behind Zhen Jiabao, looked at her high stomach and said worriedly: "Miss, it's better to stay here and wait for the banquet to start, but don't be tired." ”
Zhen Jiabao didn't have any thoughts about Helian Quan's warning, put the little leopard in his hand that had already sobered up on the ground, and then raised his waist and said to Helian Quan: "It's just a walk, where is it so fragile - little cky, come with my sister quickly." ”
The little leopard had a short sleep just now, and at this moment he was running around Zhen Jiabao's body, and he was very happy.
Seeing that Zhen Jiabao's attitude was really resolute, Helian Quan could only follow her with a gun and protect her safety with the two guards assigned behind Zhen Jiabao.
There were no people on the way to the statue, but the scenery was indeed exceptionally good, Zhen Jiabao looked at the flowers and trees planted next to him all the way, but he didn't feel any fatigue along the way.
The outline of the idol could already be seen in the distance, Zhen Jiabao stood in place and moved his ankles, which were a little sore, looking at the idol proudly with his stomach straight, wanting to show off to Helian Quan, but found that a dark shadow was gradually approaching in the distance.
“…… Yes...... Yes! ”
Before Zhen Jiabao could alert Helian Quan that there was someone behind him, the black shadow had already come out of the bushes and pulled the trigger on Zhen Jiabao with his muffler hand q-ia:ng.
Zhen Jiabao's heart was shocked, and he almost couldn't control himself from falling to the ground, but fortunately, he grabbed the trunk of the tree next to him on the way to avoid falling a butt squatting - if he really let himself fall to the ground, I am afraid that the child will be more auspicious.
Zhen Jiabao quickly hid behind the tree trunk, but found that there was not only one black-clothed person who came from the direction he came, but as many as four or five.
Zhen Jiabao immediately squatted down with his stomach in his arms, and the whole person tried his best to hide behind the trunk of the tree and did not dare to move easily, while watching with concern Helian Quan and the two guards fighting with those men in black.
After all, Helian Quan has been in the mercenary base for so long, although he has not been touched by human life in the mercenary base, but at this time he is extremely bloodthirsty with a submachine gun in his hand, and he directly eliminated the four or five black-clothed men with two guards, and only one guard was shot in the arm halfway.
It's just that Helian Quan cares about it is that all the communicators they use have gone silent, and there is no way to contact other guards to inform them of what is happening here.
After dealing with these men in black, Helian Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately went behind the tree to help Zhen Jiabao up—the poor little girl was now pale, and she looked at Helian Quan's eyes with horror.
He ...... They ......"
"They're all dead." Helian Quan briefly answered Zhen Jiabao's question, the most important thing for him now is Zhen Jiabao's safety, and whether the rest of the people live or die is really not that important to Helian Quan.
What's more, the four or five people who died are still gangsters who tried to hurt Zhen Jiabao, even if they left a life at this moment, Helian Quan probably won't let them live too comfortably.
Zhen Jiabao was taken aback by Helian Quan's bloodthirsty tone, but it was not because he felt that he was cruel, but because he vaguely felt that people like him should not be involved in human life.
"......" Forget Zhen Jiabao, don't forget that he is a soldier! What's not shā&039;re:n? They're killing gangsters who want to hurt you!
