Chapter 285: The First Day of the First Month
For ordinary people, the first day of the first lunar month is a day to visit relatives and friends.
For the upper class, this day is interpreted in a different way.
The people who visited were not so-called relatives, but countless various banquets, such as charity banquets and so on.
In short, such days are for some noble ladies to show their husbands' wealth.
Yan Qiluo is a member of the circle of wealthy ladies, and there will naturally be no shortage of such activities.
As early as a few days ago, several noble ladies had sent invitations to Yan Qiluo, inviting Yan Qiluo to participate in one banquet after another.
In the previous banquets, Yan Qiluo could push it, but in several banquets during the Spring Festival, Yan Qiluo couldn't push it, because the organizer was no one else, it was Mrs. Ji who initiated it.
With the relationship between the Wen family and the Ji family for generations, the banquet initiated by Mrs. Ji, Yan Qiluo, as the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Wen family, must not shirk.
Otherwise, this will make people speculate whether there is a rift in the relationship between the Wen family and the Ji family, which has a very significant adverse impact on the two families.
Therefore, Yan Qiluo rejected other people's invitations and gladly accepted the invitation of the Ji family.
Hearing that Yan Qiluo would attend the Ji family's banquet, other ladies, daughters, and celebrities were also moved by the news, and they all tried their best to ask for an invitation to the Ji family's banquet.
Outside, their husbands or boyfriends or fathers tried their best to sharpen their heads and couldn't see Wen Muyan.
Therefore, as a female dependent, being able to brush up on the favorability of the Wen family's grandmothers can be regarded as helping their husbands or fathers and brothers.
After worshipping his ancestors in the morning, Yan Qiluo returned to his room and called the Zhong family to pay New Year's greetings.
Out of politeness, Yan Qiluo also called the Gu family to pay New Year's greetings.
Just when Yan Qiluo was anxious and thought that he would be troubled by the Gu family, unexpectedly, the Gu family was unexpectedly enthusiastic about Yan Qiluo.
Especially Gu Zixin's mother, she is more enthusiastic about Yan Qiluo, who has never met, than her daughter.
Yan Qiluo wanted to ask, is Gu Zixuan really the eldest lady of the Gu family?
Why is the gap so big?
In fact, the reason why Yan Qiluo is popular with the Gu family is because she can do things.
She has always been a filial child, and she thinks about giving a copy to the Zhong family's parents when she has any good things.
Since he wants to ask the Gu family to hand it over, then Yan Qiluo will also give a share to the Gu family.
The gift is not much, but the heart.
The Gu family received Yan Qiluo's heart, and they were naturally much more amiable to Yan Qiluo.
In addition, Gu Zixin often mentioned Yan Qiluo in and out of words, and the blind man could also see that the heart of the Gu family had long been unbreakable on Yan Qiluo's body.
Gu Zixuan also has all kinds of admiration for Yan Qiluo, the Gu family listens to their sons and daughters every day Yan Qiluo, and Yan Qiluo is sensible and polite, so it is strange that the Gu family doesn't like Yan Qiluo.
After paying homage to the New Year one by one, Yan Qiluo took a little rest and prepared to go to the banquet.
Wen Muyan, like Yan Qiluo, had several socials, and after the couple separated in the morning, they each participated in their own activities.
With the help of assistant Xiao Wang, Yan Qiluo changed her clothes, and several stylists surrounded Yan Qiluo and delicately modified every detail of Yan Qiluo.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Xiao Heng knocked on the door outside: "Young grandma, I am still in charge of your safety today." ”
Yan Qiluo smiled at Xiao Heng: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Yan Qiluo's smile made Xiao Heng shake his eyes, but Xiao Heng didn't say anything.
Compared with a few days ago, Xiao Heng's recognition of Yan Qiluo is already very high.
Looking at Yan Qiluo, who had exquisite makeup in front of him, except for his slightly bulky body, who was still radiant, Xiao Heng seemed to have red ears without a trace.
"You're welcome, as it should be." Xiao Heng replied a little stiffly.
Xiao Heng actually knows how bad his attitude is.
He just wants to use this method to force out the real Yan Qiluo.
He wants to prove to Wen Muyan that Yan Qiluo is not worthy of Wen Muyan.
But no matter how bad his attitude was, Yan Qiluo didn't seem to be moving in the direction he hoped to develop.
Or maybe he's a little confused about what he really thinks now.
He seemed to like it a little, and Yan Qiluo looked at him with helpless eyes......
Shame on you!
He would have loved it!
She is Wen Muyan's wife!
When Xiao Heng noticed his intentions, a trace of panic suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he added: "You are the master, and protecting the master is the duty of an assistant." ”
Yan Qiluo smiled and stopped explaining to Xiao Heng.
Reaching out for the stylist to tie the wristband of the watch on his wrist, Yan Qiluo slowly stood up and said, "Let's go." ”
Today's banquet is not so much a gathering of famous ladies, but a blind date meeting that blatantly forced Ji Min and Fang Ya to go on a blind date.
Ji Min kept holding his neck and refused to agree to the blind date with Fang Ya.
But he can refuse a blind date, but he can't refuse such a banquet.
Especially this banquet is still a banquet led by the Ji family.
As the male host of the family, Ji Min must be responsible for the reception.
When the time comes, you have to go on a blind date if you don't go on a blind date!
It is undeniable that when Yan Qiluo came today, he was in a mood of schadenfreude.
She really wants to see how Ji Min, who has been making trouble for herself, will react and respond to such trouble now.
By the way, when he turned around and talked to Su Lingyu, he could continue to fall into the well.
Who told Ji Min that some time ago, he desperately troubled himself for money?
I haven't been going to take revenge, so I'm already very merciful, okay?
When Yan Qiluo arrived at Ji's house, he found that many people had already arrived.
It was Wen Xuemo who got out of the car almost at the same time as Yan Qiluo.
Wen Xuemo obviously knew that Yan Qiluo would come, so the moment she saw Yan Qiluo, her eyes turned around Yan Qiluo's body.
When she was sure that her luxurious outfit was not as valuable as Yan Qiluo's pair of earrings, the anger in her eyes became more and more obvious.
Yan Qiluo also saw Wen Xuemo.
Yan Qiluo hasn't forgotten what happened yesterday.
However, now that he is outside, there is no need to expose his ugliness outside, so Yan Qiluo just glanced at Wen Xuemo coldly and did nothing.
Wen Xuemo's eyes flashed, she gritted her teeth secretly, forcibly suppressed the resentment against Yan Qiluo in her heart, took a step forward, grabbed Yan Qiluo's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, didn't we say that we would come over together?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Yan Qiluo raised her eyebrows.
Say you want to come together?
Don't make a fuss, okay?
I didn't plan to be with such an arrogant and domineering lady!
Yan Qiluo pulled out his arm and smiled extremely lightly: "I don't remember when you made an appointment with me, I remember that you just returned to China yesterday, and you have spoken to me less than ten words in total since yesterday, and none of them seem to have anything to do with me." I'm probably not mistaken, right? ”
Wen Xuemo didn't expect Yan Qiluo to slap her face in public, although the two of them had very low voices, only each other could hear them, and Yan Qiluo said it with a smile on her face.
Wen Xuemo endured and endured, but finally couldn't hold back her jealousy and hatred for Yan Qiluo, and said in a raised voice: "That's right, I just look down on you!" Even if my parents have to beg Wen Muyan, I still won't look down on you! ”
Yan Qiluo shook his head speechlessly.
This woman must have had a convulsion in her head.
It's not easy to live to be this big.
It's not a bad thing to be so blatantly arguing with yourself.
It's much better than Qian Keran's woman who hides a knife in her smile and attacks her tears.
Yan Qiluo no longer paid attention to Wen Xuemo, and took Xiao Wang and Xiao Heng in.
Wen Xuemo gritted her teeth and looked at Yan Qiluo's back, she really wanted to scratch the face that was always smiling.
"You want to shave her face too, don't you?" A cold voice sounded from behind Wen Xuemo: "Me too." I wanted to shave that face more than anyone else. ”
Wen Xuemo turned her head suddenly, just in time to see Fang Ya's vicious gaze staring at Yan Qiluo's back.
"Who are you?" Wen Xuemo had just returned from Norway, and she was not familiar with Fang Ya at all.
The daughter of a distant second uncle is not qualified to brush up on her presence in front of Mrs. Wen all the time.
The reason why I was able to brush my sense of existence yesterday was because Mrs. Wen had the intention of beating Yan Qiluo.
"Like you, people who hate Yan Qiluo." Fang Ya's eyes swept over Wen Xuemo, she could clearly feel that Wen Xuemo was the same kind of person as her, that is, someone who hated Yan Qiluo a lot.
Huh.
They're really the same kind of people.
Not only do they all hate Yan Qiluo, but they are also a group of people who are foxes, tigers, and dogs.
One is a pseudo-daughter, and the other is a stupid daughter from a third-rate family who insists on pretending to be a first-class wealthy family.
Most of the people around only knew Fang Ya and didn't know Wen Xuemo.
However, it is very happy to be able to stand and chat with Fang Ya, and it is estimated that it is not a real wealthy family.
For the sake of Ji Min and Fang Ya going on a blind date, everyone will give Fang Ya a little face.
After all, during the period of a year ago, Fang Ya was crazy about a blind date, but it was the talk of many people in the upper circles.
Yan Qiluo This is the first time to come to Ji's house.
Compared with the splendor of the Wen family and the novelty of the Fang family, the architectural style of the Ji family is more inclined to the Gothic architectural style.
It is said that Madame Ji grew up in France as a child, so she was particularly fond of this kind of spire-shaped architecture.
The gate of the Ji family is already very lively.
Mrs. Ji and Ji Min stood at the door to welcome the arrival of the guests.
When Yan Qiluo approached with his assistants Xiao Wang and Xiao Heng, Ji Min's eyes obviously swept around behind Yan Qiluo, and he didn't see the figure he wanted to see, and a trace of disappointment suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Once upon a time, the woman he hated turned out to be a bridge for him to meet his sweetheart.
When Mrs. Ji saw Yan Qiluo, she immediately smiled gracefully, took the initiative to hold Yan Qiluo's fingers and said, "Qiluo, it's great that you can come!" I have long wanted to invite you to come and sit down, but Mu Yan has been reluctant to let go, and I am not embarrassed to ask for someone with a shy face. Now that it's the New Year, he's willing to let you out! Don't be polite when you come to the house today! ”
