Chapter 316, Banquet, Gift Giving (Third Update)
"Sit down, everybody."
Gu Qian looked at the guests who got up, and said in an understated tone.
The crowd sat down.
Gu Qian took Jiang Li's hand and came all the way to the main table, and everyone who looked at the main table said, "Elders, this is my future wife Jiang Li. β
The voice fell.
The crowd at the main table was silent.
Gu Qian's eyes were a little colder, and he glanced at Gu Yao, his voice was low with a touch of anger: "Don't you know what to call someone?" β
Gu Yao frowned, but he still looked at Jiang Li: "Hello sister-in-law, I'm Gu Yao." β
"Hello."
Jiang Li nodded slightly, and her voice was gentle.
She glanced at the second young master of the Gu family, and the other party's appearance was also very similar to Gu Qian, but between her eyebrows and eyes, she was a little less calm and a little more flamboyant.
Gu Yao finished greeting.
The old men of all veins and the uncles who had been silent at the main table glanced at each other, and they knew that what Gu Qian had just reprimanded Gu Yao was actually said to them.
"Miss Jiang, I've admired my name for a long time."
"Miss Jiang is as beautiful as on TV."
ββ¦β¦β
Several uncles spoke one after another.
Gu Qian introduced in a calm tone: "This is my second uncle and third uncle......
"The second uncle is good, the third uncle is good."
Jiang Li greeted very politely, and looked at the two old men at the main table: "These two are the second grandfather and the third grandfather, right?" β
"Xiao Jiang, sit down and eat, the food will be cold in a while." The second grandfather looked at Jiang Li and said in a calm tone.
But there was still a hint of majesty in the words.
This is the majesty of the elders and the majesty of the wealthy families in the capital.
Jiang Li and Gu Qian sat down together.
The crowd began to move their chopsticks.
The banquet hall of the entire Gu family is exceptionally quiet, and "eating without saying anything and sleeping without speaking" is also one of the family rules of the Gu family.
Jiang Li ate the dish that Gu Qian sandwiched in the bowl, pulled the corner of the other party's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't everyone speak?" β
"They advocate "eating without sleeping", you don't have to worry about it. β
Gu Qian stretched out his hand and took another piece of meat and put it in Jiang Li's bowl.
Jiang Li sighed, and didn't say anything again, but felt a little depressed after eating a meal, and there was no feeling of "home" at all.
This is a wealthy family?
She began to understand why Gu Qian and Jin Lanting left various prestigious schools in the capital and went to City A to go to college.
If she lived in such a depressed family, she would probably have run away a long time ago.
The end of a meal.
The old people at the main table have a relatively average appetite, and they just eat two bites casually. @Β·error-free start~~
The uncles and uncles would glance at Jiang Li from time to time, and the look in their eyes was a little strange, but they didn't say anything.
If placed in other families.
As an artist in Jiangli's entertainment industry, I am afraid that the elders of the family have long disagreed with each other to eat at the same table.
However, in the "Heir Competition", everyone has seen the thunderous methods of Gu Qian, the eldest young master of the lineage, and no one in the family dares to touch this moldy head.
Jiang Li ate quietly, and as she ate, she found that the atmosphere was not quite right.
The uncles and uncles basically put down their chopsticks, only they were still eating unhurriedly, and everyone else seemed to be waiting for them.
ββ¦β¦β
"It's okay, leave them alone."
Gu Qian was not in a hurry to sandwich the dishes for Jiang Li, and he didn't intend to pay attention to the other family members who had already stopped their chopsticks.
Follow the rules of the house.
Before the head of the house at the main table or the heir of the head of the house has put down the chopsticks, the others cannot leave the table even if they have eaten enough.
"Forget it, I'm full......"
Jiang Li refused a little embarrassed.
Gu Qian glanced at Gu Yao coldly, and his voice was low: "Gu Yao, you are still growing your body, accompany your sister-in-law to eat for a while." β
Gu Yao: "......"
Gu Yao's face was full of reluctance, but he still silently picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish casually.
Place in a bowl.
Ten minutes later.
Jiang Li waved her hand again and whispered, "I'm really full, it's okay." β
"Okay."
Gu Qian slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at everyone and said in a flat tone: "Let's go back and rest when everyone is full." β
said.
Gu Qian's eyes looked at the people at the main table: "Second grandfather, third grandfather, uncles, Lili has brought you some gifts, let's go to the garden and sit together." β
"Okay."
Everyone got up and left the banquet hall together.
The ancestral house of the Gu family, in the garden.
The two old men sat down on the chairs first, after all, they were old, and they would inevitably feel tired if they stood for a long time.
"Bring the stuff up."
Gu Qian said casually.
One of the subordinates immediately took the "meeting gift" that Jiang Li bought in the Liuli Factory, and each one was beautifully repackaged.
"Antiques from the Liuli Factory?"
"It's worth a lot."
"Can Miss Jiang's salary be affordable?"
Everyone was slightly stunned, their eyes looked at the more than ten beautifully packaged antiques, and then looked at Jiang Li's gaze changed slightly.
If it's an antique, I'm afraid the price won't be cheap.
Gu Qian could see at a glance what these people were thinking, and explained in a flat tone: "This is Lili's own salary to buy, which can be regarded as a little bit of her heart for the elders." β
"Let's take a look, if you don't like it, you can return it to me directly."
As soon as these words came out.
The uncles' faces were also a little strange, and a smile appeared on their faces: "Then thank you Miss Jiang for your kindness." β
Antiques were given to everyone one by one.
Among them, the second grandfather and the third grandfather are two pieces of porcelain that seem to be the most "valuable".
However, these two didn't look carefully, their eyes were not good, and they didn't bother to ask someone to identify them, but they just asked someone to bring a gift.
"The first time we met, this is a gift from the old man to Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang should not be disgusted."
The second grandfather spoke.
The third grandfather also made people come up with a gift.
Both of these are expensive antique jewelry, and they are worth at least more than five million at auction.
"Thank you second grandfather, thank you third grandfather."
"Qian'er, we're a little tired, so let's go back and rest first." The second grandfather looked at Gu Qian and said, he didn't plan to stay long after giving the meeting gift.
"Okay, the two grandfathers will go back and rest first, I'm going to take Lili to the Jin family in the evening, so I won't eat at home."
Gu Qian nodded slightly.
The two old men, supported by the members of the family, left first. _o_m
The uncles and uncles opened the antique calligraphy and paintings given to them by Jiang Li one by one and tasted them carefully.
"Hey, isn't the genuine copy of this Southern Song Dynasty's "Wandering Pictures of Streams and Mountains" in the family's warehouse? This one is ......"
Some people looked at the calligraphy and painting in their hands, frowning slightly and showing doubts.
Gu Qian's tone was nonchalant: "The one in the family warehouse is a fake, this one is real." β
Everyone: "......".
