Chapter 182 Engagement Banquet
"Yi Yi, come here, let grandma take a good look at you..." Old Mrs. Lu took Jian Qingyi's hand and looked her up and down.
"You've lost weight!" Old Madam Lu frowned. "My Yiyi has suffered so much. When we get to Beijing, Grandma and Aunt Wang will take good care of you."
"How can I be thin? I think I've gained weight!" Jian Qingyi looked down.
Some places have gained more than just one circle of weight.
"Not fat, not fat..." Old Mrs. Lu said hurriedly.
I’m afraid that the girls in Jianqing Yixueyuan will lose weight.
"Cough cough..." Lu Yaozong next to him coughed twice.
A wise child is better than his mother.
I know that her eldest son is unhappy.
I feel ignored by my daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Lu immediately pulled Jian Qingyi over and said, "Yiyi, this is your dad."
"Dad!" Jian Qingyi called out sweetly without any hesitation.
"Hey!" Lu Yaozong responded with a smile.
The secretary next to him, Xiao Li, cleverly took out a big red envelope from his briefcase and handed it over.
Lu Yaozong reached out and took the red envelope, then handed it to Jian Qingyi with a smile.
"From now on, this kid will be under your care. If he doesn't obey, you can beat him up. Your mother and I have no objection."
"Thank you, Dad!" Jian Qingyi took it generously.
Since she had decided to marry Lu Yujing, she took these red envelopes without hesitation.
As for beating that guy...
Let’s just forget it!
With her mediocre skills, she could only be pinned to the ground when facing him.
"Dad has already called him, so it's time for me as his mom to join in." Qin Mengjie came forward with a smile.
"Mom!" Jian Qingyi immediately called out sweetly.
"Hey!" Qin Mengjie responded with a smile and took out a big red envelope that she had prepared long ago from her bag.
Judging from the thickness, it should be about the same size as Lu Yaozong's.
"Yi Yi, this is your second uncle." Old Mrs. Lu introduced them one by one.
"Second uncle." Jian Qingyi said sweetly again.
I've already called Mom and Dad, so what about Uncle and Aunt?!
Lu Yujing followed behind to help get the red envelopes.
It was fine to hold eight or ten red envelopes in his hand, but how to handle twenty of them? Finally, Lu Yujing asked Jian Yiwei to take the large luggage bag from the car and hold it in his hand.
After one round, the luggage bags were full.
Heavy.
The gossipy women who were watching the fun nearby were staring with their eyes wide open.
Except for those younger than Lu Yujing, who did not receive any red envelopes, everyone older than Lu Yujing received a red envelope.
Look at their heads, they are not small.
Jian Zhonglan and He Xiaoyue were also very jealous.
Especially Jian Zhonglan.
She always felt that if she had spoken first that day, the red envelope in the luggage bag that Lu Yujing was carrying would have belonged to her Xiaoyue.
"Oh, by the way, my in-laws, Yu Jing called and only told us to prepare for the engagement, but didn't say what to prepare. We don't know what the rules are in Nancheng, so we just prepared a little bit casually..." Qin Mengjie signaled the orderlies to carry the things down.
"If there's anything wrong with the preparations, please forgive me."
As her voice fell.
Refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, tape recorders...
They were taken down one by one.
Someone in the crowd gasped.
Then the sound of inhaling came one after another.
"Isn't that a color TV?"
"And the refrigerator..."
"Look, there's a washing machine."
Those who are knowledgeable immediately share the knowledge with those around them.
How much is this, how much is that?
Those who are good at arithmetic will start to calculate the accounts silently.
"This must be worth thousands!" someone exclaimed.
This is just an engagement.
If I get married...
Then you have to give me a house as a gift!
Little did they know that just these few big items could be exchanged for two houses.
Jian Zhongliang looked at the pile of electrical appliances and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Who gives so many gifts for an engagement?!
It’s not a marriage!
Even if it’s a marriage, you don’t give such a big gift!
Glancing at the luggage bag Lu Yujing was carrying, Jian Zhongliang seemed to understand the Lu family's generosity.
The orderlies hurriedly carried the refrigerator, color TV and washing machine upstairs.
The luggage bag in Lu Yujing's hand was also carried upstairs by Jian Yiwei.
Jian Yiwei was worried about safety, so he left two orderlies to watch over it.
I’m afraid that thieves will take advantage of the opportunity.
After everything was packed, the group took a car to Pengju Hotel.
When the rear end of the last car disappeared in front of the gate of the family compound, the crowd watching the excitement instantly went wild.
"Who said that the Lu family doesn't like Jian Zhongliang's daughter?"
If this is not considered welcome, then what kind of welcome should be?!
"As expected of a Beijing native, he gave out such a huge red envelope. Look at the size of that red envelope. I guess it's enough to marry several wives here."
And those refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines...
This isn't an engagement, this is clearly a marriage!
"If I had a duffel bag full of red envelopes, I would just lie in bed, eat delicious food, drink spicy drinks, and do nothing else."
"Have you seen those people from the Lu family? They are all very capable, especially that old man Lu. He looks so impressive."
…
The buzz of discussion is not enough to describe the situation in the family compound at this moment.
The other side
Pengju Hotel
If the Lu family's generosity shocked the Jian family's relatives and friends, then the banquet at Pengju Hotel made everyone amazed.
Director Wu's wife had seen a bit of the world and had attended countless banquets, but she had never been to a banquet like the one held by the Lu family.
She had never seen those exquisite platings.
Steamed grouper, sea cucumber and chicken soup, braised prawns, bamboo fungus soup, pan-fried goose liver, braised abalone in abalone sauce, stir-fried asparagus with truffles, crab roe tofu, roasted venison...
If she hadn't seen them in a book before, she probably wouldn't even be able to name these dishes.
Jian Qingyi obviously didn't expect that Lu Yujing could organize such a grand banquet in just one day.
There was no need to distribute wedding candies at the engagement banquet, but Jian Qingyi still followed Lu Yujing to toast relatives and friends.
She held the wine glass and pretended to do so.
Everyone saw through it but didn't say anything.
after all……
Anyone with eyes can see how much Mrs. Lu values her granddaughter-in-law.
Not to mention, there was Lu Yujing standing next to her, eyeing her covetously.
So, after one round, Jian Qingyi brought back the glass of wine that she had taken out.
"Yi Yi, come here to grandma." Old Mrs. Lu patted the seat next to her.
In the past, this position belonged to Lu Yujing, but in the future, it will probably belong to Jian Qingyi.
By doing this, Mrs. Lu was also indirectly telling the younger generations of the Lu family that she treasures her granddaughter-in-law very much!
If you want to bully someone, you have to think carefully first.
As soon as Jian Qingyi sat down next to the old lady, hot soup was brought to her.
"Drink some soup first." Lu Yujing blew on it carefully, fearing that it would burn his young wife.
"My Yujing is able to take care of his wife now. It's not easy!" Lu Xingyue, the eldest daughter of Lu Yaozong and Qin Mengjie, and Lu Yujing's biological sister, joked with a smile.
