Chapter 396

Engagement Banquet

The man: Lin Senmu, from Yancheng, Hunan.

The female party: Jiang Yuan, a native of Jiangnan.

The engagement process is that the man's relatives and friends bring betrothal gifts and presents to Qihu, while the woman prepares return gifts and arranges a banquet locally.

At the door of Banquet Hall No. 9 of the hotel, there was a display board with the following content printed on it: 'Engagement Party, Lin Senmu & Jiang Yuan. '

Jiang Yuan was wearing a red windbreaker and red boots, which made her look mature. She was looking forward to the arrival of Sen Sen's relatives.

During this time, she took out a small mirror from her pocket and checked her makeup and image several times.

Lin Senmu, dressed in a black suit and tie, got out of the car and supported his grandmother Qin Zhaomian.

Then, under the guidance of Zhou Zhiman, the family came to the second floor of the hotel.

When Jiang Yuan saw her fiancée appear, she walked forward shyly with ladylike manners and called out to the parents, "Aunt Ye, Uncle Lin."

"Hey, little kite."

Ye Qingyun smiled softly.

Lin Feng said cheerfully: "Little Zhiyuan, when are you going to play at uncle's house again?"

"During the long vacation this year."

Jiang Yuan really enjoyed communicating with Lin's father, and then glanced at her fiancé.

Lin Senmu knew it was his turn to help introduce them, so he pulled Jiang Yuan in front of the elders and said to them one by one: "Yuanyuan, this is grandma and grandma, this is grandpa, and this is grandpa."

Jiang Yuan called out obediently: "Grandma, Grandma, Grandpa, Grandpa."

"Hey, the girl is so pretty."

Qi Xiuyuan responded with a smile.

Qin Zhaomian smiled from ear to ear, and enthusiastically took Jiang Yuan's hand and chatted about family matters: "Granddaughter, grandma was also from Qihu, so it's okay for you to speak dialect with me."

"Okay."

Jiang Yuan smiled brightly.

Lin Mushi and Ye Huaian, the two old men didn't say much, but looked at their grandson's wife kindly.

After a brief meeting, Jiang Yuan led the elders into the banquet hall.

The interior space was filled with the word "囍" (囍) and the background was all in red. There were also today's date and Sen Yuan's last name written on them.

There is also an auspicious saying: "The two families are united in marriage, the contract is signed in one hall, the good marriage is forever, and they are a perfect match. '

Lin Senmu's parents are both only children, so his family members occupy less than half of the table.

At present, four elderly people sat down at the main table.

Lin Feng called on the employees of the branch office, and under the guidance of Zhou Zhiman, they carried in boxes of betrothal gifts and presents and placed them on the square table at the main stage.

Soon, they were displayed together with hardware and gifts for the bride.

Ye Qingyun was talking to Jiang Hanshan, "Senmu has been causing trouble for my father-in-law these days."

"It's no trouble. Senmu is an outstanding child. I like him very much."

Jiang Hanshan said that he didn't know why he could praise Lin Senmu so smoothly today.

Jiang Yuan's relatives occupied two secondary tables, where sat Zhou Zhiman and Jiang Hanshan's brothers and sisters, as well as their children.

There were two old men sitting at the main table, they were Jiang Yuan’s grandfather Jiang Dingguo and Jiang Yuan’s grandmother Zou Youmei.

After Jiang Yuan introduced them, Lin Senmu hurriedly called out respectfully, "Grandpa, Grandma."

Next, Jiang Yuan brought Lin Senmu to visit the table.

Lin Senmu shouted in various ways: "Hello uncle, hello aunt, hello uncle, hello aunt..."

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, cousin, younger cousin, younger cousin..."

After a circle, Lin Senmu also received respect from his peers.

For example: "Hello, brother-in-law..."

And: "Brother-in-law..."

The young people were very enthusiastic because the Lin family's betrothal gift of 1,314 pieces meant a lifetime.

"This brother-in-law must be treated more closely..."

"I want my sister to find a brother-in-law like this..."

Soon, the food was served in the banquet hall.

Lin Senmu and Jiang Yuan went from table to table to toast each relative.

Of course, what I drink is beverages instead of alcohol.

Then, under the host's arrangement, Sen Yuan went on stage to go through the engagement procedures.

"Now please invite the groom to present flowers to the bride to be..."

Lin Senmu held a bouquet of roses in his hand and walked towards Jiang Yuan with affection in his eyes. He handed it to her gently and said softly, "You don't want me to kneel again?"

“No.”

Jiang Yuan's smile is as beautiful as a flower.

The engagement process still requires the boy to kneel down on one knee, but she really doesn't like it at all.

This scene was recorded after she communicated with her parents and the host.

The flower laying ceremony is over.

The male host held the microphone and continued, "Now, please invite the groom to put the engagement ring on the bride. This small ring symbolizes the couple's holding hands and being connected in love..."

The next moment, Lin Senmu walked in front of Jiang Yuan, holding the wedding ring box in his hand, just like when he proposed to her.

Then he took one of her small hands and gently put the ring on her slender ring finger.

"A marriage certificate signifies a happy marriage. Please ask the two brides-to-be to come on stage and sign their names on the marriage certificate. Signing the marriage certificate means that the man and woman are officially engaged and will renew their lifelong commitment."

The host's voice fell.

Lin Senmu and Jiang Yuan walked forward side by side, signed each other's names with a red pen on the red silk table where the marriage certificate was placed, and then pressed their handprints on their names with red mud.

At this time, the waiter pushed over the festive cake.

Seeing this, the host said: "Please ask the groom to hold the knife, hold the bride to hold the hand, and cut the cake together. This is a declaration of eternal love and a silhouette of a beautiful future life..."

Lin Senmu and Jiang Yuan huddled together sweetly and cut the cake in half at the same time.

"Now let us raise our glasses together and toast to the happy life of the newlyweds."

Hearing this, all the relatives at the table stood up and offered their blessings in unison: "Happy engagement to our little girl Jiang Yuan..."

"Happy engagement, looking forward to having the most beautiful bride..."

"Grandson, granddaughter-in-law, we old people wish you a happy marriage and a sweet life..."

"Sister and brother-in-law, I wish you a happy marriage..."

"Brother-in-law, sister, congratulations on your strong relationship..."

Next, it was the groom-to-be Lin Senmu's speech: "Thank you all for coming to our engagement party. Your arrival has brought us joy, happiness and blessings..."

After Lin Senmu finished speaking, Jiang Yuan took the microphone and gave a speech: "Dear elders, dear relatives, thank you all for coming to the engagement party for Lin Senmu and me. I am very happy to have you witness this important moment..."

The host waited until the process was over and then invited them with a smile: "Now please invite the parents of both parties to come on stage and take a group photo with the newlyweds..."

Lin Feng, Ye Qingyun, Lin Senmu; Jiang Yuan, Zhou Zhiman, Jiang Hanshan, after they were positioned well, the group photo was taken with a click.

At the same time, it also marked the end of the 'Sen Yuan' engagement banquet.

Tonight, Lin Senmu can't stay at Jiang's house anymore. He has to stay in a hotel with his parents and relatives, and then fly back to Xiangchu tomorrow to celebrate the New Year.

Jiang Yuan took the opportunity to pull Lin Senmu to the stairs, threw herself into his arms and cuddled him, "Sesen, I will miss you."

"I'll miss my fiancée, too."

Lin Senmu hugged him tightly, his tone full of infinite tenderness.

"Sen Sen, my fiancé..."

Jiang Yuan's eyes were blurred and she murmured softly.
