The banquet hall was ablaze with lights, and the guests were filled with laughter and joy. Ren Zhenghui stood in the center of the stage. The lights dimmed, and the spotlight shone on Xiao Huilin. Xiao Boyang, holding her hand, slowly walked toward the stage.
When Ren Zhenghui saw Xiao Huilin coming, a happy smile appeared on his face and he quickly walked towards her.
"Hui Lin, you're here," Ren Zhenghui said gently, holding Xiao Huilin's hand. Xiao Huilin returned Ren Zhenghui's hand with a sweet smile on her face. Under the light, her scarlet brocade jacket and skirt looked even more vibrant and charming.
At this time, the guests in the hall cast their congratulatory glances and whispered to each other, praising the couple's good match.
Xiao Boyang cleared his throat, holding the microphone, and spoke in a resonant voice, "Dear friends and relatives, today is the wedding day of my brother-in-law, Ren Zhenghui, and Xiao Huilin. They held their wedding in Kuozhou City the day before yesterday, and today we are having a three-day banquet. Thank you all for coming. On behalf of the couple, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude to everyone. Because it is a three-day banquet, the ceremony will be simple. There will be no ring exchange or performance. Only the cake cutting and bouquet tossing will be retained. Let's have dinner first, and then the cake cutting and bouquet tossing will be held later."
The guests under the stage applauded and congratulated one after another. The atmosphere was very lively. It was unexpected that the meal would start so soon. In fact, many people did not care much about what the program was like. After all, eating was the most important thing.
In the hall, the lights were adjusted to soft and bright, and the warm yellow light sprinkled on each round table covered with a red tablecloth, creating a warm and festive atmosphere.
Hanging from the ceiling of the hall are several gorgeous Chinese palace lanterns, painted with exquisite floral and bird patterns. The light shines through the red lampshades, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
With the sound of a gong, the serving ceremony officially began.
Leading the way were two waitresses wearing red cheongsams embroidered with elegant plum blossom patterns. The fitted cut accentuated their graceful figures, and each of them was holding a classic red lantern.
Next, a waiter arrived with a tray bearing a delicious Chinese dish: a roasted whole pig with a lucky charm. The skin was roasted to a golden, crispy finish, gleaming with an alluring sheen, and a large red silk flower adorned the pig's head.
The waiters behind followed in pairs, carrying other dishes.
In a corner off the stage, Liu Jingze whispered in Ren Zhenghui's ear, "Cousin Hong, the Shen Shigen father and son who called me at the farm gate just now are now in the box. He wants to see my uncle. Do you think I should tell my uncle?"
Ren Zhenghui frowned slightly, took a look at the lively scene around him, and said, "Today is a good day for Brother Hui. He knows that everyone in our Ren family is here. It seems that he came here specifically to stop my father. You should calm him down first. I will go to see him later."
Liu Jingze said confidently: "I told him that if my uncle doesn't see him, you will definitely see him."
Liu Jingze's calm and affirmative tone made Ren Zhenghong so angry that he wanted to do something. This cousin really knew his temper and actions well.
He stretched out his hand and wanted to pinch Liu Jingze's ear (pinching people's ears was probably a habit of the Ren and Liu families. Liu Jingze had been pulled by those people several times and had reached the stage of not avoiding or dodging them. Anyway, those people generally wouldn't pinch him and hurt him). Thinking about the current situation, Ren Zhenghong had to stop his hand in disappointment.
Xiao Boyang on the stage said: "The ceremony is simple, but toasts are still necessary. My brother-in-law said he has very good brothers and cousins, and they will toast with us tonight. You guys come up. Friendly reminder, there are three handsome guys who are single and don't have girlfriends. How can you tell them apart? Look to see if they are wearing wedding rings."
The four cousins of the Ren family and Liu Jingze took the stage one by one. There was loud applause from the audience. Is this what you call watching handsome guys while eating?
In fact, the line "Friendly reminder, there are three handsome guys who are unmarried and have no girlfriends. How to tell them apart? See if they are wearing wedding rings" was an impromptu performance by Xiao Boyang. Looking at the ambiguous looks of the three unmarried brothers, Ren Zhenghui wondered if he should try to rescue them?
But someone shouted from the audience, "The bride's brother, the eldest brother-in-law, is also unmarried. There must be four handsome unmarried men." Very good. Ren Zhenghui felt less pressured. His three younger brothers wouldn't blame him, right? Someone had already dragged Xiao Boyang into this.
The audience laughed. Almost everyone present knew Xiao Boyang, and what he said was true.
