The engagement banquet started at 11:18. The Tao family only sat in Jin Jiajia's room for a while, and then followed Jin Fei and Ren Dong downstairs to the banquet hall.
Today was just an engagement, and neither party was too fussy. There were twelve tables in total, six for each family.
For example, if the Qi family's business is said to be a big tree, then the Jin family is just a branch on the tree. There is no comparison between the two parties.
But at this engagement banquet, the Qi family gave enough honors to allow guests from her mother's family and her husband's family to have equal seats. This surprised and satisfied Jin Fei and Ren Hong.
This is obviously an act of respect from the Qi family to their own family, and it also shows how much the son-in-law values Jiajia.
Although the six tables are basically empty now, it is still early after all, and he has not seen many relatives and friends here, right?
Eleven o'clock sharp. The six tables for natal guests were all full. Relatives and friends of the Jin family, the Ren family, and Jin Jiajia's own friends were basically all present.
Qi Zi was there, but there were only two sparsely seated tables of people, all of whom seemed to be his classmates and friends.
This is nothing. Jin Fei comforted everyone while comforting himself.
Not to mention the old man of the Qi family himself, but also his relatives and friends, all of whom are wealthy, so naturally they have to make their final appearance.
Ten past eleven. The guests from my mother's family were all a little restless, because there were still the same people at the table belonging to the husband's family, no one more or less.
This is how the same thing?
Jin Fei dragged Qi Zizai over and asked in a low voice: "Why haven't they arrived yet, Master?"
Qi Zizai's face was very ugly. He shook his head: "I promised to come, maybe by car. I can't get through on the phone... I'll try again at the hotel door."
He went straight downstairs. Tao Le and others couldn't sit still anymore and went to the door to watch.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, there were two tall flower baskets earlier, and now there are several more.
These two flower baskets, both in terms of color and type of flowers, were much more dazzling and arrogant than the previous two. They did not match at all and looked very abrupt when put together, which aroused Tao Qizhan's interest.
He took Ren Hong's hand and jumped to the flower basket, and read the words on it like a showoff:
"Second brother, what kind of karma is it?"
Ren Hong smiled and read for him: "Second brother Qi Chengye respectfully presents this."
That’s how it was read! Tao Qizhan turned to the other side: "Third brother, what is your gift from Qi Yuan? Grandma, I recognize the last two words. Am I smart?"
Ren Hong's eyes were bent with laughter, and she praised repeatedly: "My grandson is the smartest! Come, grandma will help you read it again: Third brother Qi Yuanzheng presents it to you."
When she read these two banners, the expressions of Jin Fei's family of three changed slightly.
The Tao family looked at each other, and they all felt as if they had understood something in their hearts.
Of the three sons of the Qi family, they originally knew that the eldest was named Qi Zizai, but now they knew the names of the second and third sons, who were Qi Chengye and Qi Yuanzheng respectively.
This name is probably the path that the old man of the Qi family arranged for his three sons, right?
The second oldest child inherits the family business, the third oldest child goes off to war, and the oldest child is mostly free to fend for himself?
This is completely different from the last time Ren Dong came to play at home.
It is said that the eldest son is the eldest son. As long as he does a good job, the family business will naturally belong to him. He also said that coming to Yun City is to expand territory and serve as a vanguard.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all.
It was already 11:15, and there was still no movement at the door. Is this old man of the Qi family really ignoring his son?
He is obviously the eldest son, and he is also humble and polite. Is there something wrong with his identity and that he cannot be seen in the light?
Although the Tao family didn't say anything, Ren Dong's face turned red with embarrassment.
She naturally knew what was going on, but like Jin Fei, she didn't want to give up this opportunity to get into the Qi family. In addition, Qi Zizai was indeed sincere, so she agreed to the marriage.
In fact, if this were not the case, it would have been impossible for the Jin family and the Qi family to become in-laws.
Being a good match is more than just words. After marriage, it is difficult to integrate into people who are not on the same level as helping to take care of the property, running the house, and socializing.
I just didn't expect that the old man of the Qi family could really be determined and do it so brilliantly.
This time has not come yet, so I guess it’s hard enough to come.
Among them, only Tao Le Qi Zuizai's family affairs have been clear for a long time, and now he has roughly guessed the reason why he broke up on bad terms in his previous life.
"Dad, mom, eldest brother, sister-in-law. Even if there are fewer people coming from my brother-in-law's side, we still have to help hold on. My sister and brother-in-law are in a golden marriage, so we can't let these things delay us."
"That's what I said, but after all, marriage is a marriage between two surnames. The man's family is not here, so what's going on?" Ren Hong was very dissatisfied, and Tao Xingqian and Tao Zhi also had serious faces.
Jin Jiajia stood aside in her dress, her face turning red and white, and she said nothing.
She also didn't expect that her future husband's family would be so disrespectful to her even though she didn't dislike her comfortable background.
It was so embarrassing, and now she wanted to find a crack in the ground to squeeze in if possible.
Seeing the scene like this, Tao Le quickly smoothed things over:
"Mom, what age are these! Many young people just go to get a certificate when they get married, and don't even hold a wedding banquet. My sister and brother-in-law are just an engagement banquet. No one can be as serious as you said!"
Her words made everyone's faces light up. At this moment, a car horn sounded outside the window. Tao Le looked outside and immediately became happy.
I saw a row of luxury cars parked in front of the hotel's main entrance sequentially from far to near.
"Look, aren't they coming right now?"
Everyone, including Jin Fei and Ren Dong, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go down and greet them." Jin Fei said, pulling Ren Dong and Jin Jiajia downstairs in a hurry.
"Let's go back and sit down. We are guests of my mother's family, so we can't be too frivolous and let our husband's family look down upon us." Ren Hong said, and everyone went back to sit together.
Qi Zizai never expected that his idol Cheng Yue, who he once thought would never be able to stand up, would step out of the car without any problems and look at him with a smile.
He rushed up to help him: "Brother Cheng, are you okay?"
"Of course, it couldn't be better." Cheng Yue gently pushed his hand away, opened his arms and turned around.
"Thanks to you, Ayue can get better. Auntie will never forget this love." He Qingqian also got out of the car and smiled to Yan Yan.
"Me? What's my love?" Qi Zizai was confused. He never expected that after the last meeting, Tao Le helped Cheng Yue diagnose and treat him again, and the effect would be so fast and so good.
"We'll talk about this later. Today is your engagement day, and we are here to congratulate you!" Cheng Yue said, and walked into the hotel with He Qingqian.
In the car behind, more people got out one after another, all of them were well-known in Hong Province. Many people usually ignored Qi's father, but now they all smiled at Qi Zizai. , and even more praise from his mouth.
"You feel comfortable, right? The young man is really good. He has a bright future at first sight!"
"Of the three sons of Lao Qi, the eldest is the most promising!"
"I've heard a little bit about what happened back then. This Lao Qi is unreasonable!"
"Zi Zi, your father is blind to gold and jade. If you have any problem, just come to me, Shao Laosan, and I will settle both the black and white issues for you!"
...
Qi Zizai felt that the haze caused by his father in the past half hour had completely disappeared in this moment.
