Chapter 662 Should I Call Him Uncle?

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Master Guan is here!"

"It's already six o'clock, the wedding ceremony is about to begin."

The old man of the Guan family and Guan Jingtan's mother, Mrs. Guan, arrived at the main hall one after another, exchanged a few words with some respected elders, and then sat on the two armchairs in the middle of the wedding hall.

On the altar in the middle are tablets of heaven, earth, parents, teachers, and ancestors.

Some people were wondering, is it possible that not even one elder from the groom's side came?

Could it be that both parents are dead?

The host looked at the distinguished guests and shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived! The newlyweds are coming home!"

"Here comes the bride!"

"Look at what kind of person the groom is. He actually won over Guan Jingtan, one of the two beauties in the imperial capital! He has become a phoenix on the tree!"

"Taking bribes is ultimately a disgraceful thing. The Guan family doesn't say it, but who among us doesn't know that this is taking bribes? Hahahaha..."

Some young gentlemen were indignant. If an unknown poor boy could marry Guan Jingtan, why couldn't they?

Main entrance.

Shen Xuanzhi was wearing a bright red Song Dynasty wedding dress, which made his usually cold face look particularly charming.

Guan Jingtan, who was standing beside him, was wearing a green Song Dynasty wedding dress and holding a fan to cover her face.

This is red men and green women.

Guan Jingtan is extremely beautiful. After dressing up so carefully, she has already left her fellow celebrity Lu Yingxue far behind.

Our ancestor, Guaerjia, was indeed a beauty who conquered the country and the city!

Many people gasped in surprise, and some young men who had drunk a lot of wine in advance beat their chests and stamped their feet! They were jealous of Shen Xuanzhi for getting such a big bargain!

"The newlyweds offer incense and worship heaven and earth!"

"Kneel down and pay respect to the elders!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Huo Sijiao stood in the crowd, looking at Guan Jingtan with her beautiful eyes.

Even she couldn't help but sigh that Guan Jingtan was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen in her life.

I feel sad.

"What a perfect match."

Huo Sijiao sighed softly, "No wonder... you don't like me."

Her sister-in-law and Guan Jingtan also had some friendship, and those few contacts made Huo Sijiao unable to find any fault with Guan Jingtan.

Huo Sijiao's eyes swelled up, and she tried hard to control the emotions that were surging in her heart.

She knew that it was absolutely impossible for her and Shen Xuanzhi to be together.

Huo Sijiao's gaze shifted to Shen Xuanzhi, watching him kneel three times and kowtow nine times, burning incense to his ancestors.

The guest of honor shouted loudly: "The ceremony is over!"

"Guests, please move to the banquet hall and take your seats to enjoy your drinks."

The servants of the Guan family led the guests out of the main hall and moved to the banquet hall. The banquet was already set up, all prepared by the master chef. The guests at each table were arranged in advance, and the servants reminded them to take their seats.

There were two people serving guests at each table, and the kitchen had already started serving the dishes.

Eight cold dishes were served first.

This was followed by eighteen hot dishes.

Together with the soup and fruit plate, it made up thirty.

Huo Sijiao happened to be sitting at the same table with Xie Xubai, and next to them were the mother and daughter of the Pei family. The mother and daughter had used some trickery to swap seats with others.

There were eight people at the table, and the rest were all sensible and polite people.

Newlyweds need to drink and socialize.

This was a procedure specially changed by Master Guan. The Guan family needed the newlyweds to show up in the front hall and leave an impression in front of many important people.

Mr. Guan did not hesitate to lower himself and took the two newlyweds to each table to drink and meet people.

Guan Jingtan became much calmer, even his eyes became firm.

Shen Xuanzhi beside her had a calm expression the whole time, and he looked somewhat unfazed by the insult. From their conversation, one could tell that he had extraordinary knowledge.

“A good match.”

“What a perfect match.”

Huo Sijiao's ears were always filled with the word "well-matched", and every compliment was like a knife stabbing deep into her heart.

She poured a small glass of red wine and drank it all.

The servant at the table tactfully refilled her glass.

Huo Sijiao held the wine glass, and the noise was getting closer. She turned around and saw Shen Xuanzhi and Guan Jingtan coming to toast.

Grandpa Guan raised his voice and introduced them to Shen Xuanzhi, saying: "This is Xie Xubai, the eldest son of the Xie family. He grew up with our Atan." These youngsters were not worthy of Grandpa Guan's personal introduction, but Xie Xubai was different.

Anyone with eyes could see that the Xie family was on the verge of great success.

Also, Huo Sijiao is at this table.

The old man also has some selfish motives.

"Thank you, Young Master." Guan Jingtan was wearing a Song Dynasty wedding dress, like a solitary orchid in a valley.

With a smile on her face, she held up her wine glass and said thank you, "I will rely on the Xie family for care in the future."

“You’re welcome.”

Xie Xubai was so polite and dignified, and his eyes turned to Shen Xuanzhi, "Congratulations, my grandmother's health is also thanks to you."

Shen Xuanzhi said calmly: "It's my job."

Xie Xubai said slowly: "My Xie family and Guan family are old friends. From now on, you will be one of us."

Old Master Guan shamelessly tried to establish a relationship with Xie Xubai. He took Xie Xubai's hand and said, "If we talk about the relationship of ancestral marriage, Xubai is one generation older. Maybe Ah Tan wants to call Xubai uncle, you are a few years older. I will sacrifice my reputation and let Ah Tan acknowledge me as his uncle."

I don’t know how much blood relationship we have with my uncle.

If you trace back these families in the imperial capital, you will find that they are all related to each other.

Guan Jingtan knew that her grandfather was paving the way for her, so she personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xie Xubai with both hands, saying, "When I was a child, I always liked to divide things among the generations. This time, you finally got what you wanted. Uncle Xie... please keep in touch with me in the future."

Xie Xubai did not take the glass of wine, but instead turned his gaze to Shen Xuanzhi.

Shen Xuanzhi clenched his palms, veins bulging on the back of his hands. There was a surge of emotion in his eyes, and there was almost a taste of blood in his mouth.

"Xuanzhi."

Guan Jingtan shouted in a low voice.

Shen Xuanzhi reached out and poured the wine, then handed it to Xie Xubai, his voice a little hoarse: "Uncle."

Xie Xubai took the wine glasses one by one and took a sip: "I accept your call of uncle. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me and I will do my best to help you."

The Xie family also wants to form an alliance, but the Zhong family cannot get close to them. The Pei family has an ambiguous attitude towards the Xie family. If the mother and daughter of the Pei family interfere, they will probably not live in peace in the future.

Only the family can be closed.

Only by cooperating with the Xie family can they resist the overthrow of other aristocratic families with deep roots.

Master Guan laughed at their happy scene and pointed at Huo Sijiao and said, "This girl is from the Huo family. She has made a name for herself in the imperial capital recently. The young are formidable. Atan Xuanzhi, please come over..."

Huo Sijiao stood up and held up the wine glass and said, "I am young, so I should be the one to toast the two newlyweds. There is no need to introduce them, old man. I know both Miss Guan and Shen Xuanzhi."

She glanced at Shen Xuanzhi and forced a bitter smile.

I drank the glass of wine straight down my throat. After drinking so much red wine, I realized how bitter it was.

The old man looked at her with great fondness and said, "Why didn't your brother and sister-in-law come? Aren't they coming today?"

"Maybe he'll come later, or maybe not at all."

"Well, we'll have some fun in private later. They're still making noises in the bridal chamber tonight, so don't leave in a hurry."

Huo Sijiao lowered her eyes.

"Okay, I won't leave."

Wedding night?

She just watched.
