Chapter 246: Congratulatory Gift
The whole of Chai Mansion is filled with a festive atmosphere, and all parts of Chai Mansion are decorated with red satin. Lanterns are hung to reflect the tables and chairs in the courtyard. Even though it was completely dark, the servants were still busy.
The housekeeper walked around to check, doing the final checks. After all, tomorrow is the day of the wedding of his young master, and at that time, guests from all over the world will gather, and there is no room for mistakes. Welcoming guests, receiving gifts, drinks and refreshments, each item has long been assigned by the chief butler to divide labor, which is something they must pay attention to.
As for the main owner of tomorrow's wedding, Chai Murong, the eldest of the Chai family, who has a very good reputation in Yanxiang City, is in his father's study. Chai Ge, the head of the Chai family, is a middle-aged man who is not angry and arrogant, and his study is very well arranged. Everything is put in its place.
Chai Ge sat behind the desk, while Chai Murong stood in front of the desk.
"Tomorrow will be your big day. Although you have already performed the crown ceremony, a man can only truly become a man when he has a family. Chai Ge admonished Chai Murong.
Chai Murong's dress shows that he is very capable. He wasn't too tall, but that didn't affect his bearing. In fact, Chai Murong inherited his mother's appearance well. For tomorrow's wedding, he has long been prepared.
"Because you're a man now, there are some things that you have to know. Chai Ge looked at his son, and he had always been proud of his son. Chai Ge smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, it's just a small talk between father and son." ”
"Well, father, please. Chai Murong said.
"This marriage with the Ni family was decided for my father and your mother. I know you have your own ideas, but you are not an ordinary person, you will be in charge of the Chai family in the future. Your marriage will be related to the rise and fall of the Chai family. Chai Ge picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Then he raised his eyes and looked at his son, "You can associate with women who have had a relationship before after marriage, but you have to understand who your wife is." You have to prioritize clearly. ”
Hearing this, Chai Murong was a little surprised. Yes, as the eldest and youngest of the Chai family, he is not really as clean as the outside world rumores. The young master of a rich and noble family, who has not tasted the taste of a woman at the age of twenty, is probably an impossible thing in this world.
However, in order to maintain his image, he carefully hid these things. Unexpectedly, these things did not escape his father's eyes.
However, Chai Murong was quickly relieved. Although his own family is not as powerful as the Ning family in Shengzhou, but in Huangzhu County, especially in Yanxiang City, the Chai family's control can be said to be unparalleled. Even the Ning family can't compare.
Chai Murong didn't speak, because he really didn't need to care about these things.
Chai Ge only mentioned it and didn't delve into it. He continued: "Actually, my father also planned the year before last that the wife who can make the Chai family really take off should be Ning Zhitong, the eldest lady of the Ning family. ”
"Ning family......" Chai Murong frowned slightly, revealing a helpless smile. It can be said that it is the Ning family of the first family in the world. Ninglu Wang Li, who only needs a surname, can remind people of the existence of that family. As a family member of Tongshengzhou, Chai Murong fully understands the strength of the Ning family. Compared with the Ning family, the strength of the Chai family is still far behind. If you can really marry Ning Zhitong as your wife, then with the Ning family, a powerful family, why can't the Chai family prosper?
Seeing his son's wry smile, Chai Ge also smiled, "It's a pity that the head of the Ning family, one of the thirteen leaders, refused under the pretext of being young. However, later I heard that even the Fengzhou Wang family came to propose marriage, but they were also refused. This Ning Xibai, do you still want to leave the Ning family in charge of her daughter in the future?"
"Women in power? Chai Murong said.
Chai Ge waved his hand, "The difference between the Ning family and our Chai family is that they are businessmen, and they are also from the rivers and lakes. Just look at the doormen at home. This kind of thing is etiquette, and the people of the rivers and lakes have never paid attention to it. ”
"Definitely. Chai Murong responded.
"Ning Zhitong's thoughts, I don't know. But if you are good friends with Na Ning Zhiyan, you won't be wrong in the end. He is the son of Ning Xibai's elder brother, and I think that the Ning family is more likely to fall into his hands in the future. Chai Ge continued, "Recently, there was news that Ning Xibai was seriously injured in Lizhou, and after you and Xing'er got married, you should visit on behalf of our Chai family." We are in Shengzhou, and the Ning family is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. You have to keep that in mind. As long as the Ning family does not collapse, then our Chai family cannot show other thoughts. ”
"Yes, child, remember. Chai Murong said solemnly.
Chai Ge sighed and opened another conversation, "As for the matter of your Uncle Yao's family......"
Chai Murong knew that his father was thinking of his best friend, Yao Rulin. The two of them have been friends since they were young and have a deep friendship. However, at that time, the Chai family was already a well-known and wealthy family in the local area, and the Yao family was still very poor. It was an accident that the two of them were able to become friends. Later, his father inherited the Chai family's family business, while Yao Rulin went to Linzhou. Years later, he has made a lot of names. The Yao family is not a big one in Linzhou, but it is also a well-known business.
My father often mentioned these past events, so Chai Murong knew it completely.
For as long as he can remember, at the end of every year, Yao Rulin would bring his wife and children to visit. At that time, my father would also be happy to reunite with old friends. And Chai Murong himself and Yao Rulin's son Yao Shaoyan can be regarded as having known each other since childhood. When Yao Shaoyan got married, Chai Murong also went with his father to congratulate. But they couldn't attend their wedding.
Three months ago, Chai Ge personally wrote a letter informing Yao Rulin that his son was also getting married, and invited Yao Rulin's family to attend the wedding. Yao Rulin quickly replied with a letter, congratulating him in advance, and said that he would prepare a big gift as a congratulatory gift.
Then, two months ago, Chai Ge overheard the news from the north, saying that the caravan of the Yao family in Linzhou had received Star Tears. Hearing the news, Chai Ge wrote a letter to remind Yao Rulin to be careful, and asked Yao Rulin to come to Shengzhou early, which was not only to participate in the wedding, but also to take refuge.
This letter is the letter that Li Mu found in Yao Shaoyan's package.
Unfortunately, this letter was not replied to, because the Yao family had already suffered a great disaster. According to the news from the north, the Yao family was wiped out. When Chai Ge heard the news, he locked himself in his room and smashed everything in the room. Chai Murong remembered that it was the first time his father was so angry.
Even today, when it comes to Yao Rulin, Chai Ge is still a little sad. "I will keep tracking, whether it is the Red Shark Gang or the God of Wealth in the Northland, there are some things that I know I can't do, but I still can't give up. Your Uncle Yao is also very concerned about your marriage. Although he is gone, he has already prepared a congratulatory gift for you. The gift arrived a month ago, and I didn't have the heart to open it, so I put it in the storeroom. That's also a relic of your Uncle Yao, no matter what it is, you have to collect it. ”
"Yes. Chai Murong agreed.
Chai Ge stood up, he walked up to Chai Murong and patted him on the shoulder. "I will eventually grow old, and in the future, you must bear this burden well. ”
"Good. Chai Murong said.
Chai Ge said, "Let's have a good rest tonight." You'll be busy tomorrow. With that, he waved his hand. Chai Murong got up and left.
Looking at the courtyard that was reflected in a red light, Chai Murong felt a little trance, as if what was in front of him was not auspicious, but with a bit of solemnity. He shook his head, dispelling the idea. He yawned and headed for his room. I have to go to greet my relatives tomorrow, although the bride has already arrived in Yanxiang City, but I still have to do the step of welcoming my relatives.
The sky was completely dark, Li Mu thanked the host for his kindness and closed the door. This is a small old house, the owner of the house is a native of Yanxiang County, this house is an ancestral house, and there is an empty one. Recently, the Chai family in the city has chartered all the guest rooms, so that foreign guests can only find private houses to rent.
However, even so, the rooms in the city are very tight.
"That said, the three of us had to squeeze into a room. Yi Fan lay on the bed loudly and said in a helpless tone.
Li Mu glanced at him and said, "You don't mean to squeeze a little bit like this." Let's get out of the way. The bed is for Shen Li. ”
"Hey, I said, are you so partial to your wife?" Yi Fan said angrily.
Shen Li scolded back: "What's wrong with favoring my wife?
Li Mu held his forehead with his hand on the side, "Don't fight, don't fight." Raise your spirits, we will go to Chai's house tomorrow. Yi Fan, like you said, you will be able to eat and drink tomorrow. ”
"Good, good, for your sake. With that, Yi Fan jumped out of bed. "You guys, that's what you can stimulate me now. Wait until I marry Jiang Chengxue. Let's see who envy whom!"
