Chapter 170: The Betrothal Banquet
Chapter 170: The Betrothal Banquet
On the way back from the Phoenix Tower, Wei Condensing couldn't help but take out a small bronze mirror from time to time to check whether his red lips were flawed, and brushed his hair again.
No matter how Shen Youchai praised her.
Wei Lengshu looked at the method of making tea, and then turned to study the paper on the front and back, enjoying it.
Wei Ling's two younger sisters were far from being as sharp as in the original book, and Chu Xujun was relieved.
Bidding farewell to Wei Ling's brothers and sisters at the gate of Chu Mansion, Chu Xujun didn't notice that Wei Ling didn't seem to have something to say, and turned around and entered the mansion.
As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother, and she "served" the two little sisters outside for a while, and she didn't feel a little tired.
When she returned to Youyu Pavilion and went to Hua Liancheng's side, she realized that she and Wei Ling were just "fake marriage contracts", why did she "cater" to her fiancé's family like that.
Probably arrived at the Phoenix Building, as the boss's self-consciousness.
Wei Condensing is indeed a good makeup "model", Wei Lengshu is good at painting, and is also interested in tea making, Wu Yue has a lot of top teas in later generations, maybe she can help find more good tea.
After Chu Xujun "brainwashed" himself, he wilted beside his mother and refused to move, watching Guoguo turn over lazily in the basket.
Hua Liancheng hugged his daughter: "The Wei family has no in-laws, but those two sisters-in-law don't get along?"
Chu Xujun shook his head.
"That's what kind of elders are not easy to get along with over there?"
Chu Xujun was stunned: "Wei Ling, he didn't say. I have not seen it today."
Hua Liancheng: "I've heard that it's my aunt who raised the young daughter of the long house when I was a child, and I came with me this time. It's like my body is not used to the waterway, so I changed to the land route, and I don't know why it's late, and I haven't entered the city yet."
When Chu Xujun heard this, his face collapsed: "Mother, can you not hold this engagement banquet?"
Hua Liancheng smiled gently, "In the past, maybe we could have done it without it. But now that your Phoenix Building is opened, the paper is sold, not only our Zhen'an, but the entire Zhongzhou has heard the news. In the near future, I'm afraid that people from several other states will come to buy it. Even if we don't do it, we will think of ways to squeeze in, and even your father has received a lot of posts.
Besides, a good son-in-law like Prince Xufeng, don't you book it early, aren't you afraid of being snatched away?"
Chu Xujun: "It's mine, even if there is no wind, it will fall on my head. It's not mine, it's all my wealth, and people may not be willing to take care of me."
Hua Liancheng: "It's good that you're willing to think so. Leave the engagement banquet to me, and whoever comes you will only talk about business, can it be successful?"
Chu Xujun thought about it like this, and it was much simpler: "Then it's hard for Auntie."
"It's not hard, I'm just a daughter like you. When your engagement is over, we plan to go to Jeju Cheonghwa, which is called a long journey."
Chu Xujun: "What? Father, did he agree?"
Hua Liancheng's eyes when he looked at his daughter were full of mockery: "He's still hesitating, so I'll take him to see it first."
If you say this, Chu Xia will agree if she doesn't want to agree at that time, but it's just a back and forth.
Chu Xujun: "It's just this side of the Phoenix Tower, I don't know if I can spare two or three months of space......
Hua Liancheng: "You stay. Your father and I will take the three little ones with me, and it will be done."
Chu Xujun disagreed: "How can that work?"
"The feed at home is under your control, Phoenix Building has just opened, and as soon as you get engaged, Wei Ling can't leave Zhongzhou, how can you go away? Just when I have been married to your father for so long and travel together, what is there to worry about?"
Chu Xujun knew that Hua Liancheng was right, and he was quiet for a while.
There is still not enough time left for her, and this is the only way to deal with it now.
Later, Chu Xujun regretted more than once that she didn't insist tonight.
**********
Chu Mansion, engagement banquet.
At present, the Chu family is in the limelight in Zhen'an County for a while, and a small piece of paper has caused an uproar in Zhongzhou.
If paper captures the men's market, then ice drinks, jewelry, and makeup subdue the women's market.
In the past, there were only tofu snacks that flowed among the common people, but now before and after going out, there is talk about the fresh objects of the Phoenix Tower.
Outside, for the Phoenix Building, a chip with a front number on the second floor is willing to pay a high price to buy it.
Wei Ling and Chu Xujun's engagement banquet is even more difficult to find.
The old lady of the Chu family now has too many cards to count, and even the elders of the family often come to talk to her.
But the old lady also learned to be obedient, only playing cards and talking, once it comes to the sale of paper and so on, she has a headache and can't understand.
Those old women sold her old goods in their hearts, but they didn't dare to really offend, let alone not come directly.
Chu Qiu's daily meals are so many that he is afraid to see bear paws and roasted meat, so he eats green vegetables and tofu and his stomach is more comfortable.
He thought that the eldest brother Chu Xia was lazy here, and found that the eldest brother would also go out to talk to people in addition to writing tutorials.
Chu Qiu had nowhere to go.
At the engagement banquet, Wei Ling sat in the men's seat, and he was always calm.
The female guests, Wei Lengshu and Wei Condensation, were surrounded by other noble girls, but their hearts were full of their future sister-in-law Chu Xujun.
The ladies of the Wang family surrounded and scolded: "I don't know what kind of enchanting method she has used, even Wei Ling's sister is so slapping her."
"What nonsense, don't stop talking about it." Wang Sanniang also came with this time, her husband's family had not bought paper many times, and her mother-in-law pointed out that Sang scolded Huai and implied that the little girls of the Wang family had repeatedly offended the eldest lady of the Chu family, which led to their family being implicated.
Wang Sanniang has a weak heart, and she came over with a mission, where did she dare to let her sisters make trouble on the Chu family's table.
"Third sister, why are you so afraid of her?"
"When you can get into the Phoenix Tower, it's not too late to question me again."
"Who is rare......
"You're not rare? Fathers and mothers are rare, I am rare, and your brothers-in-law are rare. Can you shut up now?"
Without the little ladies of the Wang family taking the lead in making trouble, Chu Xujun's side was much cleaner.
The headache is Hua Liancheng, the county lord of the Hua family took Hua Jin'er to attend as usual, she thought of greeting everywhere, and was always called back by the county lord to sit with her.
The seasick aunt who took the carriage to Zhongzhou arrived as scheduled this time, a half-old, very charming, wearing a dark purple curly robe, which was quite eye-catching.
She casually looked at Chu Xujun, and after giving a wide bracelet, she opened her mouth to praise Wei Ling in the seat second only to the old lady of the Chu family and the county lord of the Hua family, and taunted his deeds back and forth three or five times.
The old women and girls on the partial banquet all like to listen to the things of Xu Feng Gongzi when he was a child, and they are very popular.
Aunt Wei's family is dominant, and she is full of red faces, drinking soy milk is too light, eating a few mouthfuls of ice cream and ordering several more before continuing to praise Wei Ling.
Even Chu Xujun listened to it with relish, and asked Wei Congning in a low voice, "Did Wei Ling really do this when he was a child?"
Wei Condensing couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Sister Xujun, when Brother was a child, I was not born yet."
Wei Lengshu added: "If you go back to Sister Xujun and ask Brother for verification, you must tell our two sisters who are curious."
Chu Xujun touched the big bracelet on her hand and was immediately happy.
