Probably no one at the scene expected Liu Qian'er to make this request. After she finished saying this, the whole place became strangely quiet. However, after a moment, the whole place became excited.
Those who can come to today's banquet, in addition to Zhao Jinyu's friends and classmates, a small number of artists from Tang Dynasty Entertainment or a small number of Chen Lixuan's business partners, are mostly from some well-known people in the Fourth/Nine Cities, and naturally they all know Chen and Liu. The family broke off their engagement last year, and now when they heard what Liu Qian'er said, everyone's eyes instantly lit up with gossip.
Liu Qian'er is an illegitimate daughter who is not officially recognized by the Liu family. Although she is beautiful, she has never officially appeared in Kyoto's social circle before. It can be said that very few people know her, but very few does not mean that there are none. , there are still some people who know her identity, and there are only a few people who know her identity at the scene today.
Such a girl who is very beautiful and has a pretty good temperament walks on stage to participate in this game, which naturally attracts attention. Both men and women are extremely interested in asking about her identity.
For a girl like Hu Mengyao, when they know her identity, most people will curl their lips or ignore her, and they will have some superiority mentality. No matter how beautiful she is, she can be seven or eight blocks ahead of her because of her background. .
In the eyes of some men, it would be a pity to know that a beauty has such an identity. Although the beauty is good, it is a pity that she cannot be married home. Even if the Liu family is not doing well now, as the daughter of the Liu family, even if she is an illegitimate daughter, she is not someone who can be played with casually. There is no need to cause trouble for yourself because of a woman. unnecessary trouble.
Liu Qian'er on the stage, after saying that, looked expectantly and nervously in the direction of Zhao Jinyu. Looking at her expression, it was clear that she very much hoped that Zhao Jinyu would agree to his request.
The people in the audience also followed Liu Qian'er's gaze and shifted their gaze in the direction of Zhao Jinyu. Needless to say, the people next to him, many of whom were standing far away, gathered around him at this time.
I have participated in such boring banquets countless times, but this is the first time I have encountered such an exciting event. I must not miss it!
Zhao Jinyu stood there holding the wine glass and did not move. She did not speak and just lowered her eyes slightly. She did not ignore Liu Qier's expectant eyes.
He didn't say anything, but those people around him who were doing good things and watching the fun couldn't wait any longer, so they all urged him loudly. Regardless of whether they know or do not understand the conflict between the Chen and Liu families, this group of young people will not care about this at this time. They only know that there is a lot of excitement now, and many of his classmates at Beijing University are urging him to come on stage.
"Master Jin, come on!"
"Fourth, what a beauty!"
"Let's do a four-handed bomb!"
"The beauties have already spoken, why don't you come up?"
…
Ouyang Jia saw that Zhao Jinyu didn't move for a long time. He didn't know whether he thought he was embarrassed, or he simply didn't want the beauty to fall into the current embarrassing situation, so he was busy helping out, "I heard that Yu Shao is good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting." Proficient, it’s a rare opportunity to have such an opportunity today, I believe everyone really, really wants to see it, right?”
"Yes!" Everyone answered loudly and uniformly to the same word.
Originally, a group of young people in the banquet hall became extremely excited because of Liu Qian'er's words. Now seeing that Ouyang Jia was obviously helping Liu Qian'er to shout to Zhao Jinyu, everyone seemed to have increased adrenaline levels, and some people were even more excited. He whistled sharply to express his approval and excitement.
Some older people are not as outgoing in their emotions as these young people. Although they also want to gossip, they may even be no less than the young people in front of them, but their expressions are more reserved.
While many people focused their attention on Liu Qian'er on the stage, or Zhao Jinyu on the other side, some people inadvertently focused on the Chen Lihui brothers, Liu Zongheng, Liu Anni and others, wanting to take a look at them. reaction, or they had already known about this matter in advance.
If Chen Lihui hadn't been engaged to Liu Anni and Liu Qian'er took the initiative to invite Zhao Jinyu to perform on stage together, maybe a good thing would have been accomplished. Even if the two of them didn't make it, everyone would just laugh it off. Young people have impulsive personalities and always do things according to their temper.
Liu Zongheng and Liu Anni were really wronged. They didn't say they knew Liu Qian'er would come so soon. They didn't know Liu Qian'er would come today at all. When they saw Liu Qian'er here earlier, they thought How did she get the invitation?
Now that I think about it, Liu Qian'er will know Zhao Jinyu because of their third uncle. Maybe this "good attention" was thought up by his good third uncle. Otherwise, Liu Qian'er probably wouldn't have the courage. .
When Liu Anni and Chen Lihui had just settled their engagement, someone in the Liu family had the whimsical idea of marrying a daughter of the Liu family to Chen Lihui. Among them, Liu Baocheng, the third eldest son of the Liu family, was the most active, but was strongly suppressed by the old man of the Liu family. .
Liu Zongheng didn't even know that his third uncle had no brains. He couldn't move his feet when he saw a beautiful woman. He probably thought that others were the same, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with such clumsy attention.
After finally taking advantage of the last opportunity, the relationship with Li Xuan has eased a bit. Now that it's happened all of a sudden, I don't know if Li Xuan will blame him.
No wonder they say that if you are not afraid of opponents who are like wolves, you are afraid of players who are like pigs. He feels that his good third uncle is his opponent who is a pig. He knew it was wrong for a junior to have such thoughts, but looking at Liu Qier on the stage, he felt that he really couldn't be blamed for having such disrespectful thoughts.
well!
Because she is the daughter of her boyfriend Hu Jinsheng, Liu Anni also knows that many people are secretly laughing at her during this period. Even so, Liu Anni still appears in front of people normally, insists on working, and attends some social banquets as usual, just not wanting to be seen by others. flat.
If it were Liu Anni in the past, she would not have come to this banquet. However, her experience over the past year has given her a deeper understanding of the reality in the circle.
She came with her cousin just to let others know that even though the Liu family and the Chen family are no longer related by marriage, the two families are still family friends for many years, and they have contacts, so others will be more or less scrupulous about it.
Liu Anni never cared about her uncles and brothers, as well as her own father's illegitimate children outside. Of course, even if she wanted to, she couldn't. She had always adopted a ignoring attitude.
She never thought that something like this, which she had never noticed, would slap her in front of everyone today, and slap her hard.
Growing up, she felt that she had never been as embarrassed as she is today. She was the one who took the initiative to resolve the engagement with Chen Lihui last year. Unexpectedly, today, an illegitimate daughter of her Liu family took the initiative to pursue someone from the Chen family, and even Is there anything more embarrassing than this?
Different from the uneasiness and embarrassment of Liu Zongheng's brother and sister, although the Chen Lihui brothers were a little unhappy with Liu Qian'er's sentimentality and the host's cleverness, they had no other ideas.
Anyway, when something like this happens, more people will laugh at the woman, and it will be the woman who is embarrassed. As a man, he naturally has a certain gender advantage.
Even if modern people shout about equality between men and women every day, it is useless. When it comes to the relationship between men and women, not only men, but also women themselves, consciously or unconsciously, are more tolerant of men than women.
Murong Ze touched Chen Lihui's arm, "Hey, why don't you go help Jin Yu out of trouble, or find someone to talk to?" Even if the eldest nephew was forced to go on stage in the end, it would be inevitable for rumors to spread.
Chen Lihui chuckled and shook his head, "No, Jin Yu can handle this little thing by herself!" Jin Yu may seem gentle, but in fact he has a tough side in his heart. No one can force him to do anything he doesn't want to do. With a joint performance like this that could easily arouse ambiguity among others, and with such a classic love song, it was impossible for him to be on stage.
Ouyang Jia saw that the piano and violin were ready. Zhao Jinyu had not moved yet, so he smiled and pointed at Liu Qier who was waiting aside and said, "Young Master Yu, you see that the beauty is ready and waiting for you. You can't bear to disappoint such a beautiful woman? Oh, as a grown man, don't be shy and give one to everyone!"
People in the audience who know the situation want to say to this "white-eyed" host that he is so shy. Does that person look shy?
Zhao Jinyu had no intention of playing with Liu Qian'er, so she didn't intend to go on stage, but she couldn't hide in silence all the time, so she just signaled Wang Qiang, who was following him not far away, to get him a microphone. .
He took a few steps toward the stage with the microphone, raised his hand to signal to Ouyang Jia, and then began to speak, "Thank you very much, Miss Liu and Miss Ouyang, for your appreciation of me. Thank you! Compared to Miss Liu, who majored in music, My little level can only be said to be a bit of a business hobby, and it really doesn't make sense. If two people are of the same level and play together, they can achieve a complementary effect. On the contrary, forget it.
They say it’s better to hide one’s humility than to show off one’s ugliness, so I won’t show off today, so that everyone won’t have to worry about whether you should cover your ears later or insist on saying something nice against your will to avoid hurting my face. That’s not good! "
