Chapter 102: The Birthday Banquet
Xiao Yan received an aristocratic elite education from childhood to adulthood, and his children continued his life, boring learning day after day. When Jiang Ni proposed to stop the tutoring class, he couldn't understand, but looking at An An's changes, he gradually agreed with Jiang Ni's education concept in his heart.
An An is becoming more lively and cheerful day by day, no longer as cowardly as before, all because of Jiang Ni.
Xiao Yan's heart moved, and after playing with An An for a while, he went upstairs.
Jiang Ni was holding the tablet in the bedroom to study something, the hand holding the pen was carefully recording on the paper, stopping from time to time to think about it, and then picking up the pen again.
Xiao Yan looked quietly for a while and walked over: "What are you doing?" ”
Jiang Ni noticed Xiao Yan at this time: "Why are you walking silently?" ”
"I see you're serious, what are you doing?"
Jiang Ni raised the paper in his hand, the words on it had been painted many times, and the master's entanglement could be seen.
"Am I not in charge of grandma's birthday party this time? It always has to be carefully planned, but it is a little difficult. Jiang Ni held his head, his face full of sadness.
She really hadn't organized a birthday party, and the impression that remained in her mind was the few banquets she had attended.
If you want to stay in the Xiao family for so many years, you will definitely have to meet during the New Year's holiday, and you can't make the relationship very stiff. Through this birthday banquet, Jiang Ni happened to get to know other people in the Xiao family, and it was best to be harmonious, and if the other party was really prejudiced against her, she would not be reluctant, just like Chen Zhen.
"Preparing a birthday party?"
"You don't know that Mom gave me the job of preparing the birthday party?"
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and then came to sit down next to Jiang Ni: "Do you have any thoughts about this banquet now?" ”
"I don't know anything about organizing a banquet, but I've just asked a few friends and I've learned a lot about it."
Xiao Yan nodded and told her about the process of the banquet and the points that need to be paid attention to. He is very good at grasping the key points, and every sentence has benefited Jiang Ni a lot.
Jiang Ni worked harder in her heart, the more Chen Zhen wanted her to make a fool of herself, she would definitely not do what Chen Zhen wanted.
"Grandma's birthday banquets in the past were to invite most of the dignitaries in the capital to celebrate, but grandma is old, I don't think there is necessarily a need to toss so much. We can omit the complicated procedures such as speaking on stage, and only invite close relatives and friends to celebrate in the old house, and be able to chat with our children and grandchildren who are busy with work, and I believe that grandma will be very happy. ”
After Jiang Ni finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yan slightly and asked his opinion: "What do you think?" ”
"Sounds very good, it's much warmer than the previous birthday party, grandma should like it."
Xiao Yan took the paper from Jiang Ni's hand, and then helped her write down many names, and carefully noted the family and other news.
Xiao Yan's handwriting is not at all consistent with his gentle and cautious appearance outside, faintly revealing a bit of casualness and madness.
Jiang Ni glanced at Xiao Yan, and for a moment she couldn't tell which one was the real him.
Xiao Yan wrote a few lines of words: "These are families that are related to the Xiao family, I will list them for you." In addition to these people, there are also old friends of my grandmother, but most of them are old, and it is probably a little difficult to invite them over. ”
Jiang Ni took it, like a treasure.
Xiao Yan told her about the layout of the banquet and the selection of dishes.
Jiang Ni looked at Xiao Yan with a bit of admiration in his eyes: "How can you understand everything?" ”
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Anything." ”
"These are really...... Thank you, Xiao Yan. ”
Xiao Yan got up and said in a light tone: "If you want to thank you, make me a sweet soup that is not very sweet." ”
"You don't like sweets?"
Xiao Yan turned around in an instant, his eyes staring at her tightly: "I said it last time, did you forget?" ”
Jiang Ni scratched his head: "I'm sorry, my memory is a little poor, I'll make it for you at night." ”
Xiao Yan's face was no longer very good.
Until Xiao Yan walked out of the room, Jiang Ni was seriously analyzing why Xiao Yan suddenly became angry.
Maybe it's because I've been sought after and flattered, so I can't tolerate other people's negligence, right?
Jiang Ni didn't waste a lot of time on this matter, and quickly rethought the preparations for the banquet.
*
The day of the banquet came quickly, and Jiang Ni set the location in the old mansion and only invited people close to him. The layout of the venue is very warm, Jiang Ni knows that Hu Suhua likes longevity flowers, so he bought a lot of them to decorate the scene. All the complicated banquet steps were omitted by Jiang Ni, the old man should not toss back and forth when he is old, Jiang Ni thinks about Hu Suhua's preferences the most.
It was still early in the morning, and the guests had not arrived.
Chen Zhen looked at the old mansion and looked at the big change, and found Jiang Ni angrily: "What are you doing here?" Why change the old house to look like this? Where are you booking a hotel? We've got to get there early! ”
Jiang Ni was directing several servants to place longevity flowers, and she glanced over: "The location of the birthday banquet is in the old mansion." ”
"Old mansion? How can this fit so many people? You're deliberately mad at me, aren't you? ”
Chen Zhen covered her chest, although she had long known that Jiang Ni would mess things up, but when this moment really came, she still felt that she couldn't breathe.
"I only invited people who are close to the Xiao family to this banquet."
"You're just fooling around! The birthday party is not just a simple birthday, a lot of business is discussed at the banquet, and it can also envelop everyone's feelings. ”
Jiang Ni glanced at her: "When you can't talk about business, it's better to let grandma and her old people have a good rest, and having a good time is the most important thing." And haven't you already entrusted me with the organization of the banquet? Since it was handed over to me, it should be my sole responsibility, and there is no room for others to interfere. ”
Jiang Ni smiled: "Excuse me, let's go over there and take a look, it's too much of a hindrance for you to stand here." ”
Chen Zhen gritted her teeth in anger, but she couldn't do it to Jiang Ni, it was indeed she who handed over the banquet to Jiang Ni, and now she really shouldn't interfere.
"Sister-in-law?" A crisp and pleasant female voice came, wearing casual short sleeves and shorts, with a healthy wheat complexion and a confident and cheerful smile on her face.
Jiang Ni's first impression when she saw her was that she was full of energy.
Before he could react, he was hugged: "Long time no see." ”
Her personality is lively and enthusiastic.
"Jingjing?"
"It's me." Xiao Jing let go of her arm: "I just came back from the airport." ”
Xiao Jing is Xiao Yan's own sister, she went abroad to study a few years ago, but the personalities of the two are very different, if it weren't for the similar facial features of the two, Jiang Ni would almost not recognize her.
I don't know if it's the reason why Xiao Jing rarely went home in the first two years, but she has a good impression of herself.
Thank you for the monthly pass support of Qi Feng Xiang and the two treasures of Zi Linger on a moonlit night~
