Chapter 784: Waltz
Benjamin knew that his wife was comforting him, and he didn't take it to heart. The Jia family really treats him as a family, especially the character of the Jia family...... It's just ......
The Jia family has never cheated outsiders, and if they want to cheat, they will trap their own people. They are polite to the outside world, once they treat you as their own, then you don't want to cheat.
Before Benjamin married Yingchun, the Jia family called him a Rumu Spring, and after marrying Yingchun, he began to be unkind.
First of all, a few small ones, if there was nothing to do, they would run to the foreign company, and if there was anything missing, they would ask him to find out, which made him think that he was about to become a vegetable market.
And then there is his father-in-law, who began to raise his eyebrows at him, no matter how he looks at it, it is not pleasing to the eye. Even his mother-in-law spoke from time to time to slap herself, and she began to teach him a lesson at every turn.
Benjamin was a little worried at first whether his father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't like him anymore, but when Daiyu returned to the door, he saw the polite attitude of his father-in-law and mother-in-law towards his brother-in-law, and he knew in his heart that he still liked this undisguised way of getting along.
So he was happy to be pitted by his father-in-law's family, and then he began to learn to pit his brothers and sisters who welcomed the spring. The two sides pit each other, and the fun is endless. The happiest thing is to be able to grasp Jia Cong, a painter, and endlessly want to paint from him.
Secondly, Yingchun also followed him to pit his mother's family, and the guys of the foreign bank and the subordinates in the family wore the uniforms that Yingchun asked for directly from Sister Feng. Sister Feng complained that she beat her mother's autumn breeze, but she still sent someone to send it, and it seems that it has been prepared for a long time.
Benjamin actually likes this "mutual pit" model very much, which shows that everyone is thinking about each other at the same time, and they will not be polite.
This is not possible in England, even between brothers, and it must be very clear.
Benjamin knew that this was also rare in the East. There is a saying in the East that "new brothers settle accounts", but the Jia family is different from other people's families.
The Jia family is rich, it can be said that they regard money as dung, but everyone is keen to make money.
From his wife to the youngest Jia Jin, everyone is busy, and all walks of life are accounted for.
And the wife's maiden family, the Xing family, is also the largest salt merchant today, and there is no shortage of money to spend wherever she goes.
So such a person, it can't be said that anyone takes advantage of whom, everyone has money, what you want, you take it. What I want, I take it directly from you.
Holding a banquet is even more insignificant, and foreign banks will either not open and eat for three years. Benjamin has made a lot of connections with the Jia family, and his lots are safe and reliable, and he collects lots quickly and opens quickly.
So in the past few years, Benjamin has also been very rich, but few people outside know about it.
The handling fee for those lots alone is sky-high.
In addition, over the years, Jia Cong's paintings have become more and more popular, both Westerners and Orientals are keen to collect Jia Cong's paintings, Benjamin deliberately praised him a few times, and also found someone to raise the price, so that now Jia Cong has become a hot painter inside and outside.
The Jia family in Guangzhou, who doesn't know it in Liangguang now? No, it should be said, in the whole country, who does not know?
Benjamin's feast was prepared after only a few days of preparation. It happened that there was no auction during this time, so the first floor was emptied, and the entire place was used as a banquet.
The information desk in the middle of the entire first floor was removed, and I don't know where Benjamin got a Western band to play the whole room. The area facing the information desk was vacated as a dance floor, and there were rows of long tables with food from all over the world, and behind the long tables was a preparation table and a small red clay stove to help heat up the food.
In addition to Western food, there is also Chinese food, which Benjamin is afraid that his mother-in-law will not be used to if she has not been to England. As for the rest of the Jia family, except for the youngest brother Jia Jin, who has never been abroad, everyone else is used to eating Western food.
In addition, even the candles of the foreign company are replaced with the best Western candlesticks, which illuminate the entire hall, and even at night, it can be lit up all night.
On this day, Benjamin went to his house to pick up people in person, and Xing Shuang took the family over and had a good time.
Hearing the Western band, Xing Shuang was quite satisfied, after all, she didn't understand Cantonese opera very well, and there was no Peking Opera to listen to here.
And when she saw the dance floor, Xing Shuang's eyes lit up, but it was a pity that Jia Liang was still in the yamen during the day, no one could dance with her, and no one knew that she could dance Western ballroom dance.
Watching the children dancing happily on the dance floor, Xing Shuang said in her heart what is the meaning of this old-fashioned hand-raising dance, which is far less elegant than a waltz.
Benjamin and the others had a lot of fun, and even Jia Jin followed her brothers and sisters to learn this old-fashioned group dance.
It wasn't until Jia Liang came back from the yamen in the evening, arrived at the foreign bank, and pulled his wife into the dance floor, that the others looked at the couple in amazement.
Jia Jin is quite calm, when his mother was in modern times, he had seen his parents waltz. At that time, he refused to learn, and his mother laughed at him, saying that he did not understand the beauty of waltzing.
At this moment, seeing his mother dancing happily with his father on the field, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, so he took a plate of things, hid on the stairs and sat down to eat.
Tanchun Yingchun and others looked envious, they didn't know that this kind of dance was actually invented later, they just thought it was created by their mother, and they pulled their mother to force her to teach it.
In the end, a good banquet turned into a teaching conference, Xing Shuang taught the girls to dance the women's dance steps, Jia Liang taught the men to dance the men's dance steps, and finally the two of them tried to dance again.
At first, either this one stepped on that foot, or that pair hit this pair's waist. After a few songs, everyone gradually became proficient, there were fewer cases of stepping on feet and hitting people, and the man also knew how to take the woman in circles.
So when I got to the back, the audience was full of large pieces of dresses flying, which made the band playing on stage pleasing to the eye, and playing extremely seriously.
This time the game didn't end until nearly twelve o'clock in the evening. There was already a curfew outside, and everyone had to go back to Benjamin's house to stay overnight.
By the next morning, Xing Shuang felt a little uncomfortable when she got up.
Jin Chuan was anxious to die on the side, but Xing Shuang stopped her; "Don't get in the way, maybe I was tired yesterday. It's been a long time since I've been active like this, and I'm not exhausted for a while. ”
Jin Chuan felt that this was the case when he heard it, so he listened to his wife's words, did not alarm anyone, and did not go to the doctor.
But after returning home, Xing Shuang's body has been very lazy, and she didn't get better until the Chinese New Year was approaching, which made Jin Chuan frightened. So regardless of his wife's obstruction, he quickly called a doctor to come to the house for consultation.
