Chapter 183: The Engagement Banquet
The marriage between Qiu Ming and the Xu family is purely a transaction of interests, Qiu Yuze needs the support of the Xu family and the Wen family to obtain the position of the young patriarch, and the Xu family and the Wen family need the resources of the Qiu family to strengthen their family.
The big families in Kyoto Base City are not idiots, this is something that anyone with a discerning eye knows, but it is just that it will not be put on the table for the sake of face, and as for whether the two young people have feelings, it is obviously not something that the two families need to consider.
But there are still some people who have found a very interesting secret after secret investigation, many years ago, Xu Zinuo did not live in Kyoto Base City, but lived in Suzhou and Hangzhou Base City for a long time, and a lot of things happened during this time.
When she was a child, she encountered an attack by a strange beast and was rescued by a young man in Suzhou and Hangzhou Base City, and later the two became classmates and had a good impression of each other, and Xu Zinuo was forcibly brought back from Suzhou and Hangzhou Base City by her mother Wen Yuan a year ago.
But as for who that young man is, then there is no interest in investigating, if there is any background and energy, Xu Zinuo will not be easily taken away, and the weak will not attract their attention.
As the head of the Qiu family, Qiu Jing is one of these caring people, he once investigated the information of this young man, but when he saw his family background, he tore it up directly, but he vaguely remembered the name, as if the young man was Lin Xi.
"Hehe, Wen Yuan's woman is full of calculations in her head, and she can't imagine that she was smart but was mistaken by being smart and let go of such a young man." Qiu Jing confirmed this and couldn't help laughing, "I wonder if this Lin Xi may help Shaoze unconsciously." ”
"Oh? How so? Xin Qi asked.
"If Lin Xi is really here to grab the bride, what do you say will happen at the engagement banquet tomorrow?" Qiu Jing looked at his wife.
"If this is the case, then there will definitely be a conflict, and maybe it will stand on the opposite side of our Qiu family."
"Yes, this is not a good thing originally, although this Lin Xi is only a junior god of war, but you have to know that he is only 20 years old now, God knows how far he will grow if he is given another 20 years, no, even ten years. However, Shaoze played a balance in this matter. ”
"You mean, because of Shaoze, even if Lin Xi has a conflict with the Qiu family, it will not affect the entire family, and it is very likely that it is only Qiu Ming's line that is targeted?"
"That's right, quite possibly! With the wolf ambitions of the two fathers and sons, it is absolutely impossible to let this happen, this is not only the relationship between their interests, but also the relationship between their faces, so conflicts are inevitable. ”
"But...... But you also said that Lin Xi is the strength of the junior god of war, and at tomorrow's wedding banquet, there will be more than a dozen strong people with this strength, these guests will definitely not turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, he may not be able to deal with so many people, right? And that ...... the other."
"Do you think he can reach such a height at the age of twenty, and there will be no shadow of half a person behind him? Even if he doesn't, he definitely has amazing hole cards, and I think he has a better chance of succeeding! I don't know why, Qiu Jing has an inexplicable trust in Lin Xi.
"There's some truth to what you're saying. But Brother Jing, after all, we are also members of the Qiu family, now that we know about this matter, do we have to watch it happen? ”
"We treat them as family, but do they treat me as family?"
Qiu Ze asked Xin Qi speechlessly, they all knew in their hearts that if Qiu Ming and they became the head of the Qiu family, then the fate of their family would not be very good, sometimes, kindness is cowardice, which will harm their own lives.
"And, if possible, I think it's best if we can help Lin Xi!"
"What?" Xin Qi looked at her husband incredulously, not only did he not help the Qiu family, but he also had to help Lin Xi?
Qiu Ze smiled and asked rhetorically: "If we can get the favor of a young man who has the potential to become like Luo Hao, what do you think will happen to the future development of our family?" ”
......
In the afternoon, Qiu Shaoze took them to walk around the Qiu family's manor, the Qiu family is very large, the area is probably about the same as a school, and the population is prosperous.
In addition to Qiu Shaoze and Qiu Yuze in this generation, Qiu Shaoze also has a cousin named Qiu Jin, Qiu Jin's age is similar to Lin Xi's sister Lin Ling, both of them are a little playful and lively, and it is a rare thing to be able to maintain such innocence in such a growth environment.
Maybe this is the benefit of being a girl, if Qiu Jin is also a boy, then the situation of the Qiu family becomes more complicated.
Compared with Qiu Ming's family, Qiu Jin's family is also more willing to get closer to Qiu Shaoze and them, after all, no one wants to get along with a poisonous snake every day, and greet each other with a smile on the surface, who knows when Leng Buding will stab him in the back.
When he first arrived, Lin Xi didn't prepare any greeting gifts, so he simply loosened Qiu Jin's pendant made of a small piece of golden dragon soul wood, and no one had ever found a golden dragon soul wood yet, so he was not afraid that someone would be able to recognize it, and it was estimated that it was just a treasure that would help him cultivate.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he is discovered, with Lin Xi's current identity as the god of war, anyone who wants to move him has to weigh it, after all, he is no longer the weak person who can let people eat at the beginning.
Qiu Shaoze's villa was very large, and there were many spare rooms, so Lin Xi spent such a night full of excitement and anxiety.
In the early morning of the next day, many of the family representatives who were invited had already come one after another, and in the morning they were all relatively small families, and the only one in charge of welcoming them was the butler of the Qiu family, and as for those giants, I am afraid that they would not come until the engagement ceremony was about to begin.
Lin Xi's heart was beating rapidly, he knew that Xu Zinuo would soon appear in this manor, and he might even be prepared somewhere.
It's just that the Qiu family is too big, there are too many buildings to count, and many important places are built with special building materials, even if his spiritual power is now enough to cover the entire manor, he can't find where Xu Zinuo is.
But he is not in a hurry now, when the engagement ceremony begins, Xu Zinuo, as one of the parties, will definitely appear, so he just needs to wait quietly now, and if he is too anxious, he will lose his square inch.
In the evening, most of the guests had already arrived, and everyone was sitting in the seats in the garden lively, chatting and laughing, while Lin Xi sat gloomily in the corner and looked at all the guests present.
These people may be going to stand against him in a few hours, but there isn't even a god of war among those who appear now, which is not enough to attract his attention.
"The King of Kyoto has arrived!"
Finally, those people from the big family came, the Wang family, an enduring God of War family in Kyoto, and the old family owner Wang Wei is a God of War powerhouse.
Although Wang Wei is over 100 years old, he looks like he is just a middle-aged man, he handed over the congratulatory gift in his hand to the master of ceremonies, as for what is inside, the thing that the God of War powerhouse took out is definitely not a garbage product.
Qiu Yuze's father and son, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurriedly greeted him, Qiu Yuze's right hand holding the wine glass was still a little unclear, obviously the injury left by Lin Xi yesterday had not fully recovered.
"Grandpa Wang, thank you for being able to appreciate your face, and your nephew is grateful."
"Hehe, Yuze, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, you're going to get married, hahaha!" Wang Wei smiled and walked with a few people from the family to a few seats specially arranged for them.
"Kyoto Liu's family has arrived!"
"Kyoto Su's family has arrived!"
......
One after another, the God of War family entered the table, and each of them was greeted by Qiu Yuze's father and son.
"Elder Yan Huang, Lu He has arrived!"
Suddenly, everyone stopped the chopsticks in their hands, and no one continued to talk and laugh loudly, and everyone's eyes converged on a white-haired old man.
That peak god of war powerhouse has finally appeared!
