Chapter 35: The Banquet
I don't know if it's because time really flies or Si Ran thinks about things a lot, there is almost half a day left before the dinner, and he hasn't received any news from Chu Simo, he is actually still a little unhappy in his heart.
But he didn't do anything, he was just counting the remaining hours, looking at his phone every once in a while, he knew in his heart what he was waiting for, but unfortunately, Chu Simo didn't send him a message until five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was less than two hours left before the dinner began.
He finally stopped looking at his phone and sent a message to his father: Dad, are you going to the Chu family's dinner today?
The uncle didn't know what he was doing, so he replied to him in seconds: Well, what's wrong?
: I'd like to ask you to take me with you
Uncle: Yes, why do you suddenly want to go to such an occasion, are you physically able to bear it?
It can't be said that he is unwilling, after all, Si Ran's physical condition is there, and Si Father is afraid that his body will not be able to bear it, after all, it is not possible to sit and rest when he has to toast everywhere on that occasion For Si Ran's physical condition, this is too tiring.
: Yes, don't worry
Of course, the father knows his son's temperament, and he doesn't say anything when he says this: Okay, then I'll send someone to pick you up.
: No, I'll go over with Shao Zuo and enter the venue with you
When the priest saw Shao Zuo's name, he was half relieved: Okay, you come and I'll wait for you two
: Okay, thank you Dad
Father: Go clean up!
Si Ran was no longer replying to Si Yuanming's message, he was ready to get off work, and he also sent a message to Shao Zuo saying that he was going with him, so Shao Zuo didn't leave in advance, waiting for him to leave together.
Originally, Shao Zuo asked for leave, saying that he was going to dress up well, but Si Ran didn't want to leave, he wanted to wait for Chu Simo a little longer, but he didn't wait for anyone.
When the two of them reappeared, they were at the door of the banquet hall, and after the two of them got out of the car, they turned around and saw Sifu and Shao's father standing at the door talking here, they walked over side by side, and greeted them one by one, "Hello uncle." ”
The two fathers both turned around to say hello to the two of them, and then took them into the arena, the time for them to enter the arena was not yet the official opening time, Si Ran and Shao Zuo followed the elders around to drink and recognize people.
Because Si Ran rarely comes out to participate in this kind of occasion, many people don't know him very well, but Shao Zuo still knows many people.
Si Ran followed Si Yuanming and walked away, Si Yuanming saw an acquaintance or partner, someone would come up to say hello, at first no one asked who Si Ran was, they were just waiting, and when they met a more gossipy person, they looked at Si Ran on Si Yuanming's side and said with a smile, "Mr. Si, who is this?" ”
Si Yuanming looked at Si Ran next to him, and then turned back to the person who asked opposite and said, "This is a dog, Si Ran"
"Oh? Why haven't I seen it, I know that Ling Nu is very good! "This is actually a bit provocative, saying that Sister Si Ran is very good, what about Si Ran?
"Well, Ke Yin didn't come over today, Si Ran's health is not very good, and he usually doesn't come out much, so naturally you haven't seen him much."
Hearing Si Yuanming's words, the person opposite also had some faces on his face, because his words were taken back by four or two thousand catties, who could not hear it.
But because of Si Yuanming's face, he still had to laugh, "What I said is that Ling Gongzi looks like a very top talent." ”
Si Yuanming just smiled and didn't say anything to him, but Si Ran slandered in his heart: I don't know him, I can actually see what kind of top talent he is, why, can he read his face?
The man saw that none of the father and son wanted to take care of themselves, so he was not bored with himself, and raised his glass to Si Yuanming and made an excuse to leave, and Si Yuanming didn't keep it, because they weren't very familiar with each other, he was just one of these people who jumped out and gossiped about Si Ran.
After seeing that person hit a wall between their father and son, those who only had gossip in their hearts didn't catch up with the money very much, after all, Si Yuanming was famous for being a straight person.
People walked in one after another at the door, and they still didn't see Chu Simo and them, but there were several close friends of Si Yuanming, who were talking to people, and when they saw Si Yuanming, they nodded to the person they were talking to, and then walked over to Si Yuanming and Si Ran.
Si Ran smiled when he saw the person coming over, and spoke first, "Uncle Yu"
"Hey, Ran Ran is also here, your father is finally willing to bring your baby out, ah-hahahahaha" Uncle Yu is a friend that Si Yuanming made in business ten years ago, and the relationship between the two of them has become better and better over the years, causing the two of them to become closer and closer.
Si Yuanming listened to his friend's words, smiled, and touched his glass, "Why is it just one person, sister-in-law and Wei Wei?" ”
"Over there, I went to chat with Lao Ma's family."
"Oh, I thought you came alone"
"No, why are there only you and Ran Ran, but Yin and her younger siblings didn't come?" Yu Zhenghua looked around and didn't see Si Yuanming's wife and daughter, so he turned around and asked curiously, after all, Si Keyin will always attend on this occasion, the two children of the Si family, Si Ran is inconvenient to see people and doesn't want to see people because of physical reasons, so it can only be Si Keyin who comes out.
"I didn't come, but Ke Yin went abroad a few days ago with a list over there, and her mother went with her if she wanted to travel, and she won't be back in a few days."
"Oh, that's okay, I'm afraid the Chu family's wedding this time is the first time I've seen it!" Yu Zhenghua and Si Yuanming gossiped and talked about the Chu family's affairs, after all, the people who could come to this banquet were all famous people in the capital, and almost everyone who was present at the Chu family's wedding would be there.
Si Yuanming nodded after listening to the words, "It's almost, the marriage between the Chu family and the Fu family, especially the children of the two families are still in that place, it should be regarded as a strong alliance." ”
Yu Zhenghua also nodded in agreement, the two of them were not talking and were a little quiet, Si Ran suddenly spoke, "Fu family?" ”
Listening to his questioning tone, Si Yuanming didn't have time to say anything to him, so he heard Yu Zhenghua explain the "Fu family" to Si Ran again, and he said these two words with certainty.
Then Si Ran looked at him, waiting for his next sentence, Yu Zhenghua didn't sell it, and continued to speak, "The Fu family and the Chu family are two giants, you don't know these things if you don't come out much, it's okay."
After he said this, he didn't speak, Si Ran was a little helpless, how could Uncle Yu say half of what he said, was he curious about this?
Si Yuanming looked at his son a little helplessly, and smiled, "Your Uncle Yu is joking with you?"
Yu Zhenghua also smiled and continued to talk, "The three generations of the Fu family have been passed down, and there is only one daughter in your generation, called Fu Tongxing, the girl who is going to marry Chu Sibai" He paused for a moment before continuing, "That child is also fighting for their family, it is not easy for a girl to get mixed with that status, and she has almost always followed Chu Sibai." It's not easy. ”
After saying that, he sighed with emotion, and discussed some things with Si Yuanming, Si Ran was thinking about the girl he saw at dinner that day, it turned out that the girl in the Fu family was Fu Dongxing, the person he had seen that day.
Although he knew that Fu Dongxing and Chu Sibai were going to get married, he didn't expect the Fu family to go up at all.
He stayed with Si Yuanming and Yu Zhenghua for a while, and felt that he couldn't understand the topic they were talking about now, so when he was about to go around by himself, he saw Shao Zuo walking towards him.
He said to Si Yuanming and Yu Zhenghua, "Dad, Uncle Yu, I'll go over to find Shao Zuo first, and I'll come to you later."
Si Yuanming nodded, "Go ahead, you don't want to stay with us two old men."
Yu Zhenghua smiled and said, "They are all young people, and they definitely don't want to stay with us old men, that's the one from the old Shao family." ”
"Uh-huh" Si Ran nodded in affirmation.
Shao Zuo came to him as he spoke, he naturally knew Yu Zhenghua, after all, the relationship between their families was not very bad, and they didn't live far away. He greeted the two elders.
