Chapter 49: The Engagement Feast

Ye Cuo knew that with Nie Fan's weak character, even if he came back today, he couldn't change anything.

And his sister An Ran is also a good girl's character and has no ability to resist.

Otherwise, with her status as a martial arts college student, if she really became stronger, no one in the Nie family would dare to force her.

But it's a pity that An Ran is a child who was picked up and raised, and he has a well-behaved personality, plus he has been swallowing his anger since he was a child, and he is used to being obedient, and he was actually bullied by Nie Lan.

Ye Cuo sighed secretly in his heart: I can only be the bad guy today, otherwise these two sisters will be squeezed to death.

He can't think of any good way for the time being, but he has already decided in his heart that he will take one step at a time, and it will be a big deal to roll around, and he will also mess up this matter, and as for the consequences, he has no time to think about it now.

Ye Cuo and An Ran didn't have much contact time, but An Ran had helped him a few times, and Ye Cuo had a very good impression of her.

Such a soft and kind girl, if she is forced to marry someone she doesn't like because of the interests of the family, Ye Cuo doesn't want to see it.

Nie Lan heard Ye Cuo's words, and a pair of triangular eyes stood upside down, and few people had ever dared to talk to her, a pampered eldest lady.

"What did you say?" Nie Lan glared at Ye Cuo.

Ye Cuo also let it out anyway: "Sister Nie Lan, your brain is not good, and your ears are useless?" No wonder Sister An Ran can be admitted to Wuke University, but you can't get in." ”

Nie Lanqi's whole body trembled, and he pointed at Ye Cuo: "You...... You are a poor boy, you are bold! You dare to say that about me, I am indeed an inferior person, without any tutor!"

Nie Xiao also looked at Ye Cuo with a hint of threat: "Ye Cuo, your parents both live in this county, are you sure you want to make trouble in our Nie family today?"

Ye Cuo turned his head directly and said loudly to all the people at the banquet: "I am friends with Nie Fan, today is the day when Nie Fan's sister is going to get engaged, and I am sincerely happy for her."

But the Nie family dislikes my poor family, and they don't even let the door in, you dislike the poor and love the rich, it's too obvious, right?"

As soon as Ye Cuo's words came out, the noisy audience suddenly quieted down.

In the lobby, Nie Fan's grandparents sat down, as well as the uncle and his wife, Nie Fan's parents, his aunt and his wife, and the third uncle and his wife.

In addition, there is also a position reserved for the Xiao family to propose.

Except for these people, the younger generation, including Nie Xiao, were not eligible to enter the lobby seats.

The only third-generation Nie family member sitting in the lobby is An Ran, who has been groomed and dressed.

She sat there, dressed in red, like a beauty in a costume drama, but her expression was sad, and she obviously couldn't see any happiness.

At this time, hearing the noise outside, she slowly raised her head, saw Ye Cuo and Nie Fan, a glimmer of hope rose in her eyes, and she was about to stand up.

But thinking of Nie Fan's character and Ye Cuo's family background, he slowly sat back.

Obviously, she didn't think these two people could help her at all.

After all, the strength of the two of them, not to mention in front of the huge Xiao family, even in front of the Nie family, is not enough.

Nie Fan's grandfather Nie Tianming is almost ninety years old this year, he has had ups and downs in his life, and finally went from an ordinary man to a layman, to a city-level position, and played the foundation of the Nie family.

Although he shows his strength in the officialdom, he has a literati style, cherishes feathers the most, and often restricts his family not to be arrogant, so the Nie family's reputation in the county is not bad.

At this time, when I heard the commotion outside the banquet in the courtyard, I looked up and saw Nie Xiao and Nie Lan at the door, and couldn't help frowning secretly: "What's the matter? ”

The third uncle is the best at observing words and feelings, and said directly to Nie Xiao and Nie Lan: "What's the matter?"

Nie Lan preemptively sued: "It was Nie Fan who brought a poor friend and had to come in to make trouble." ”

She thought that her family would help her blast Ye out of the house, however, Nie Tianming's face changed, turned his head to look at his eldest son, and said in a low voice:

"Tianming, how can you stop guests from entering the door because others are poor for a while? Not to mention that they are still Xiaofan's friends, if you say this, people want to laugh at our Nie family for disliking the poor and loving the rich, and they will say that we are not good. ”

The uncle was sweating, and nodded hurriedly: "What my father taught me is that Xiao'er and Lan'er probably had some misunderstanding with that child, so I will call them over and criticize them a few words." ”

Nie Xiao and Nie Lan were pulled over and reprimanded, Nie Lan said quite unconvinced:

"That Ye Cuo is a poor ghost who came to eat and drink, and before he entered the door just now, he was clamoring to see An Ran, I don't think he has any good intentions, and he is obviously here to make trouble. ”

Nie Tianming's complexion changed slightly.

Many people at the banquet also looked at Enron.

Everyone's eyes swirled a few times between Ye Cuo and An Ran, and the age difference between the two people was incomparable, both of them were young boys and girls, and they couldn't help but start thinking more.

Many people whispered a lot of discussions.

"This kid shouldn't be here to rob relatives, right?"

"It's impossible, Tai Sui's head is grounded, he doesn't want to live?"

"Young people, they don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and they still think that they are paying for love. ”

"Don't say it, you analyze it like this, it seems that this kid and Enron do have something. ”

"What if there is really something? Today is the engagement banquet between the Xiao family and Miss An Ran, this kid dares to make trouble, and his family won't be able to stay in this county tomorrow. ”

“......”

When the uncle of the Nie family saw his father's face and heard the sound of everyone's discussion in his ears, his heart was also abrupt.

The family couldn't help but look sideways at An Ran, but An Ran himself was simple-minded, he didn't expect this, he just thought that Ye Cuo was called by Nie Fan to help him out of the siege, so he looked at Ye Cuo with a hint of expectation.

Uncle Nie hurriedly pretended to be angry and scolded Nie Lan:

"Shut up! You bastard girl! A friend of Xiaofan is here to congratulate you! A full house of friends is a guest, how can you not accept someone else's family because they are poor? Our Nie family is also from a poor family, and we have only come to this day step by step, so we must not forget our roots!"

He dispelled everyone's thoughts with one sentence and told everyone that Ye Cuo was just here to congratulate.

After saying that, he turned his face to his father and smiled: "Father, the children are still young, and they don't understand these etiquettes yet." ”

The eldest aunt also protected her children: "Dad, the children are also doing this for the reputation of the Nie family." Even if it's not the right way, the heart is good, so don't be angry when you're old. ”

Nie Tianming's eyes flickered a few times, and he waved his hand: "Call the child surnamed Ye in and arrange a better position." ”

There was a wave of jealousy in Nie Lan's eyes.

On this occasion, even she has to sit far away from some ordinary guests, why can Ye Cuo sit down as soon as she comes?

She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but was quietly stopped by Nie Xiao.

When he turned his head to look, he saw a sneer on the corner of Nie Xiao's mouth, and shook his head at her.

Nie Lan immediately knew that his brother had already thought of a way, and immediately smiled at Ye Cuo, and silently stepped aside, ready to watch a good show.

Nie Xiao watched coldly as Ye Cuo and Nie Fan were led to the banquet, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: Boy, if you want to use the old man's good face to make trouble, I won't let you succeed so easily, today I want you to know that you are still too tender to play with your heart in front of me!

He waited until Ye Cuo sat down, and everyone's attention was still on Ye Cuo's body, and said:

"Welcome Xiaofan's friends to our Nie family's wedding banquet, everyone who comes is a guest, today is the Nie family's big day, the place where the hospitality is not good, please don't be surprised.

The main thing is that I have the task of entertaining guests, as the saying goes, courtesy and exchange is the rule of China since ancient times.

Today, I am responsible for writing down all the gifts given by the guests, so that I can have a gift exchange in the future.

I communicated with you just now, and it was also for the sake of being able to make you a friend in the future, so I talked a few more words, which was my offense. ”

After speaking, he said to Nie Lan: "Xiaolan, go and bring the gift list, and see what kind of gift Xiaofan's distinguished guest friend has given, our Nie family can't have no rules and not return the gift!"

With one sentence, he directly forced Ye Cuo into a desperate situation.

Ye Cuo came with Nie Fan this time, the two of them were like headless flies, and they didn't even know in advance that the Nie family was a wedding banquet today, how could they prepare gifts?

And even if he knew, Ye Cuo couldn't send anything good, because he had the most simple quality of working people - poverty!

Nie Lan also understood her brother's methods at this time, and immediately showed a happy smile and got the gift list from the housekeeper at the door.

"Let me look for it, huh, there's not a single leaf wrong on it!"

Nie Lan said in an exaggerated tone, with a hint of meaningful smile, and looked at Ye Cuo.

All the guests looked at Ye Cuo together, and many of them were unbalanced in their hearts.

This Nie family's banquet is not for anyone to enter, everyone gave a big gift and accompanied countless little faces in exchange for a qualification to enter the table.

Nie Xiao laughed secretly in his heart: I see how you can still sit!

He took a deep breath, frowned, and said to Nie Lan: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiaofan's friend, how can you be so ignorant of the rules?

Nie Lan directly spread out the gift list and faced everyone: "Brother, you have wronged me, everyone sees, it is indeed not." Why don't you find it yourself?"

Ye Cuo frowned, and only felt that the eyes around him were looking at him with unkindness.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the gate:

"The imperial capital is in Beijing, the medical family Yun family, and the big housekeeper Yun Fu has arrived!"
