Chapter 262: Dowry
The main guests who participated in the engagement ceremony were the guests of Anjia, as the host, An Zhenbang naturally had to give a speech on stage, and other processes were not cumbersome, under the active mobilization of the two hosts, the atmosphere was very active, and the guests gathered together and laughed constantly.
The last part of the engagement ceremony, which is also the most popular part of the guests, is the dowry display, and the sharp-eyed people have already noticed that there is a row of items neatly placed at the back of the stage, but unfortunately because of the red silk cover, there is nothing to see inside.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that the dowry for the engagement between Ling Gongzi and Miss An is not only 50 million cash, but the red silk that is covered in the back is the key point.
50 million cash was a dowry promised to An Jia in advance, but Chen Cheng felt that it was not sincere enough to only take out cash, so he privately prepared another part, what it was, and even his parents didn't tell him before that.
Hearing the host talk about this, Chen Guotao glanced at his son a little overwhelmed, and after getting Chen Cheng's eyes to confirm, he smiled and nodded to the host, and walked towards the back of the stage.
"This Chen family too, it's not easy to come up with 50 million, and even prepared other bride price, guess what it will be?"
"It can't be a souvenir!"
“......”
Anji is engaged, and there are a lot of people in the An family, not everyone knows Chen Cheng's true identity, and they think that Chen Cheng's family is just running a weight loss center, and those uncles and aunts, as well as those cousins, all think that the 50 million dowry is already Chen Cheng's everything.
When the host mentioned that there were other dowry gifts, many people began to exchange words. Although the words were not too ugly, they still looked down on Chen Cheng's family in their hearts, and felt that An Zhenbang married his daughter to Chen Cheng. Pure irresponsibility.
Seeing that Chen Guotao had already walked to the end of the stage, the host Li Qian also joked, "Everyone, pay attention! Next, the moment to witness the miracle is coming! What will it be? Have you guessed it?"
As soon as Li Qian's words fell, Chen Guotao had already grabbed the end of the red silk, and he also wanted to know what treasures his son had prepared, but he was not worried that Chen Cheng would make jokes. Because these days, my son takes out some inexplicable things from time to time, all of which are treasures that can't be bought with money, and he can't estimate the value of those items.
After a brush. With Chen Guotao's arm waving suddenly, the red silk flew up lightly, and then slowly fell to the ground, and the obscured thing inside was finally presented in front of everyone's eyes.
Under the illumination of the light. T-shaped gold bricks were neatly stacked on top of ten sturdy iron boxes. In a long line, and in the middle of it is a special eye-catcher, which are six diamonds of different colors.
The T-shaped gold brick is refined by Chen Cheng according to 400 ounces of standard London gold, with the help of the fire spirit, the purity will only be higher than the standard London gold, a full 100 pieces, a total of one ton heavier. If the stage is not reinforced in advance, it is estimated that it will collapse.
The six diamonds are also the finished products that have been cut by well-known jewelry companies. Each one is the size of a walnut and has different shapes, placed in a tray with a blue velvet bottom, which is crystal clear and dazzling, and has touched the hearts of countless people.
"Wow!"
"Oh my God, how many carats does a diamond of this size have to ......"
"Yafei, help me! I feel like my heart is about to jump out, such a big diamond, or six, I ......" Li Qian covered her heart, her face flushed, she couldn't blame her for not being calm enough, but diamonds have the power to kill most women in an absolute instant, not to mention these rare treasures.
"It's not fake, is it?"
"Shh......h What kind of eyes do you have, and you don't look at this occasion, can it be fake!"
The whispered discussions of the two hosts did not attract everyone's attention, because they were both attracted by the jewels on the stage, and their faces were full of envy.
There is a little chaos at the scene, don't look at many people who are worth billions of dollars, hundreds of gold bricks may not be in their eyes, but there are few people who can take out dozens of carats of diamonds, let alone six at a time, this thing can't be bought with money!
"Money has a price, love is priceless, although gold and diamonds are precious, but we believe that Mr. Chen Cheng's love for Miss Anji is far beyond all this, let us bless them silently......"
The professionalism of the male host Yafei is very good, after a short period of distraction, seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, he quickly took Li Qian's hand and walked to the center of the stage to make a final summary.
Under the guidance of the host, the high tide set off by the dowry display gradually calmed down, until the entire engagement ceremony was successfully concluded and all the guests were sent away, and Chen Cheng and Anji were idle.
The parents of both sides sat together to drink tea and chat, and all the dowry gifts were also handed over to the staff of the club for safekeeping.
Before Chen Cheng and the others sat down to rest, they were called aside by Zhu Huaqing and Amway, Amway is the eldest brother, and Chen Cheng is very familiar, and he spoke very casually, "I said brother-in-law, you have so many diamonds, and you are willing to take them out now when you hide them, don't you think it's a bit excessive?"
"That's it! I haven't worked hard for the shipping company in the past two years! Why should I give some rewards! I don't want to be too much, just the standard of ten carats, your sister-in-law must have one, and your niece will not be less in the future......
"Fuck off! Your daughter is less than two years old, what are you fooling up here!"
After Amway finished scolding Zhu Huaqing, he turned to Chen Cheng and said, "Brother-in-law, I am much fatter than Zhu Xiaochuan, as long as one, just like the one just now, just one!"
"I'll wipe it! You can go home directly or you'll have it, as for robbing me!"
"Go home and ask for it! Do you think you can give me those things? With my mother's temperament, when they get married, they will all be dowry......
Amway and Zhu Huaqing did not hesitate to tear each other down in order to get diamonds, and they pestered Chen Cheng unrelentingly, saying that they had to get the diamonds in their hands, they didn't believe that there were only six in Chen Cheng's hands, this kid said that he was going out to cultivate, and now he analyzes it, I'm afraid it's true to dig diamonds, otherwise he will conjure up such a thing as soon as he comes back, who believes it!
Since he dared to take out the diamonds in public, Chen Cheng had already prepared gifts for these guys, he didn't even attend the wedding of Amway and Zhu Huaqing, and it was nothing to send a few diamonds per person, these things were useless to keep in his hands, and it was easy to get them, and there was no pressure in his heart when he agreed.
When they chatted happily, the parents of An and Chen also got together to talk and laugh, drinking the spiritual tea sent by their son-in-law, thinking about the surprise given to him at the engagement ceremony, An Zhenbang was also full of emotion, feeling that he still underestimated this unusual son-in-law.
"In-laws, the two children will have a wedding in half a year, what do you need help with, such as a wedding banquet or something, we also have a company that operates a hotel, it's really not good, and it's not a problem to hold the wedding banquet on our side." An Zhenbang said sincerely.
"Then where is it!" Chen Guotao immediately waved his hand and said, "I have discussed with Chen Cheng, the wedding banquet is going to be placed at home, and as for the chef and service staff Hua Tianzong, it will not be bad!"
The Chen family bought a manor in Yunwu Mountain, and Anji had already told his parents that An Zhenbang himself knew the situation there, whether it was the environment or the general layout, there was no problem, and the biggest problem was to hold it in the open air.
The weather is unpredictable, the date of marriage is the middle of April of the next year, it is possible to be windy or rainy, if it is really placed outside, this influencing factor must be considered, An Zhenbang expressed his concerns.
What An Zhenbang didn't expect was that the other party had already thought about this problem, and Chen Cheng also promised his parents that he would absolutely guarantee that the wind and the sun would be beautiful when the time came, so there was nothing to worry about.
After the engagement ended, Anji had to continue to work, Chen Cheng also went to Panlong Island from time to time, Xiaolu and Zhu Huaqing returned to the shipping company, and the infrastructure construction of Panlong Island also allowed him to speed up the progress and choose a reliable construction company to settle in according to Lin Wanru's requirements.
Chen Cheng's suggestion is to install at least 1,000 kilowatts of wind turbines first, and then supplement 5,000 kilowatts of photovoltaic power generation systems in the later stage, the biggest problem in the early stage is the wind source.
Because of the protection array of Panlong, the island is like spring all year round, and there is basically not much wind, and if you want to solve the wind source, you still need Lin Wanru's help, her formation level is much higher than Chen Cheng, and she should be able to come up with a way, but if it doesn't work, she can only use photovoltaic power generation systems.
Lin Wanru's mood of loss is much better than when he first came back, and in his spare time, he will even give some advice to the little ones trained on the island.
Because of the convenience of the flying boat, Chen Cheng will return on the same day every time he goes out, and in the eyes of everyone, there is not much difference from the normal commute, and there is still time to accompany Anji or his family at night, but it is a happy scene.
More than two months have passed in a flash, the Spring Festival is coming soon, and Chen Cheng is still preparing to have a peaceful New Year, but Yang Zhenhua came to the door.
"Uncle, why do you have time to come over? My dad happened to be there, just in time to accompany you over tea and chat. After getting engaged, Chen Cheng also changed his name when he saw Yang Zhenhua, but the head of the special department was busy all day long, and this was the first time he came to Chen Cheng's new home as a guest.
"It's good to have money! Not only is the environment good, but the area is about to catch up with our barracks. After Yang Zhenhua got out of the car, he and Chen Cheng walked all the way inward, and said with emotion.
"I have a lot of empty rooms, if you like it, just move in, the family is so lively. ”
"I'm not that blessed, by the way, I'm going to talk to you alone for a while, don't run outside!" (To be continued......)
