Chapter 175
Jin Chaochao sat down at the eight-immortal table, took an orange and peeled it, then said to Fu Tingyuan, "How is it, are you satisfied with Yan Ma's arrangement?"
Fu Tingyuan's handsome face was full of smiles. "I didn't expect that Yan's mother actually knew everything. Whether it was Fu Xiaoan's apprenticeship banquet or this move, she arranged everything in detail. It really brought honor to the Fu family."
"Of course, she is grandma's most loyal servant."
Before she became a spirit, she was also a pet in an ancient marquis's mansion.
His knowledge and experience are even higher than those of some old experts in Chinese studies.
Jin Chaochao handed the peeled orange to Fu Tingyuan, "Let's go, I'll show you your room."
There were originally eight rooms on the second floor.
After Jin Chaochao's redesign, she connected four rooms into one big room.
The layout of Fu Tingyuan's room is similar to hers.
Looking at the huge room, it was filled with exquisite ornaments and the room was spotlessly clean.
Entering the bedroom gives you an unprecedented sense of comfort.
Fu Tingyuan likes it very much.
He took Jin Chaochao's hand and said, "It's great to have you. I never thought this house could be so lively now. I always felt that this house was too big and it didn't seem to be homely enough to live in."
Now it seems that he was overthinking.
There is no worldly air because he doesn't have a wife.
Jin Chaochao held Fu Tingyuan's hand in return, "Don't be so polite. Since we are getting married, we are already a family. It is my duty to contribute to this family."
Fu Tingyuan lowered his head and kissed Jin Chaochao's cheek, "It was my fault before. You were right in front of me, but I didn't cherish you. Now I hope you can give me a chance, Miss Jin, please marry me."
Fu Tingyuan took out a heart-shaped pink diamond ring from his arms.
He wanted to propose formally.
As for love, we can talk about it slowly.
Jin Chaochao didn't expect such a surprise, and she didn't react for a long time.
Fu Tingyuan solemnly knelt on one knee, straightened his back, raised the ring and looked at her affectionately.
The man looked focused, with handsome eyebrows and smiling eyes. There was only her shadow in his dark eyes.
Jin Chaochao slowly stretched out her hand, with the corners of her mouth curved up, "Mr. Fu, the proposal is successful."
Fu Tingyuan happily took her hand and put the ring on her ring finger.
Then he stood up and bent down to kiss her lips.
A clumsy, yet sweet kiss.
Jin Chaochao only felt her heart beating wildly, as if she couldn't breathe smoothly.
His lips were soft and cold, but they were like fire, making people's cheeks blush.
After a long while, Jin Chaochao shyly pushed Fu Tingyuan away, turned around and said with a red face, "It's getting late, the guests in the front hall should be here soon."
She didn't care about Fu Tingyuan's expression and turned around and ran away.
Her heart was beating fast and her cheeks were hot all the way.
Yan's mother just came to see her, "Miss, the guests have arrived."
In the front hall now.
The Lu family arrived first.
Mr. Lu, the head of the Lu family Lu Yan, the eldest grandson Lu Xingyuan, Lu Qingze who wanted to worship her as his godmother, and Lu Qingze's mother Ji Wanrou.
As soon as they arrived at the house, they were shocked by the scene before them.
"When I saw this house before, it was so ordinary. It's only been a short time. The house instantly looks brand new, and even the flowers and plants are growing exceptionally well." Ji Wanrou likes this kind of house very much.
It is highly private, yet grand and majestic, and has the flavor of a large family.
Compared with the Fu Mansion, she felt that the Lu Family was not impressive enough at all.
Jin Chaochao put a lot of thought into this house.
She set up a formation, making the climate of the entire mansion warm in winter and cool in summer, and it was most suitable for vegetation growth.
Therefore, flowers planted in the garden are more likely to survive and bloom more beautifully.
The grass and trees grow luxuriantly, which also suppresses the proliferation of mosquitoes. Looking from the inside, the whole house is sunny and full of flowers. Even the osmanthus trees are in full bloom, exuding fragrance.
What's more, there are many other flowers in the house, and the scenery is pleasant no matter where you go.
According to the rules of the wealthy family banquet, Jin Chaochao invited the ten largest wealthy families, as well as relatives and friends of the Fu family, friends of the old man, and friends of Fu Xiaoan.
At noon, everyone arrived one after another.
Zhang Yihua brought his parents and Zhang Ziyan to attend the banquet.
Zhang Wei Zheng also brought his parents, brothers and sisters.
Li Huailang brought the children from home.
As long as you enter the mansion, everyone will envy its beauty. For a moment, the entire Fu family garden was filled with people.
"The branches of this peony are thicker than my waist, and the flowers on the tree are so beautiful!"
"There are actually golden lotuses there. This is the first time I've seen one."
“This cactus is actually full of flowers.”
“Is this an orchid?”
"What is this purple flower? It's so big... Look, there are so many butterflies."
…
Everyone was discussing the colorful flowers in the garden, and everyone was attracted by the various scenery in every corner.
Old Master Fu was chatting with a group of old men in the main hall. They heard that the Fu residence was entirely managed by Jin Chaochao, and everyone envied the Fu family for having such a good mistress.
Jin Chaochao and Fu Tingyuan entertained the heads of various wealthy families and their ladies.
For a moment, the entire Fu residence was filled with noise and excitement.
At lunch time, the dishes served could be called a full Manchu-Han banquet.
The top-grade sake is made with Xuanmen's unique recipe, and Jin Chaochao usually doesn't drink it. Now that moving is a big day, she only took out some of it. The grain wine that has been treasured for more than ten years, once the bottle cap is opened, the aroma of the wine overflows. Not to mention drinking it, just smelling it makes people feel intoxicated.
The aroma of the wine is so strong that it makes people salivate.
People who don't drink on weekdays couldn't help but have a few glasses.
After dinner, Yan's mother also prepared entertainment activities in advance, such as singing Kunqu opera, pitching pots, playing Cuju on the lawn, passing flowers with drums, etc.
The elderly listened to music, the middle-aged people played Cuju, the young people played tossing pots, and the children played drums, passed flowers and told jokes.
For the first time, everyone felt that there was no comparison, no business, only fun and laughter at a wealthy banquet.
Compared to holding a banquet in a hotel, where everyone competes with each other, clinks glasses, and shows off boringly.
This banquet was truly a grand occasion.
As the host of this banquet, Jin Chaochao was really in the limelight. The mistresses of various families approached her intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to make friends with her.
Guan's parents also came to the banquet today.
When they saw Guan Zhike, they just gave him a few instructions and asked him to be obedient.
Afterwards, they happily greeted everyone with their eldest son Guan Jingyan, and couldn't wait to introduce this eldest son to outsiders.
Guan Zhike stared at Guan Jingyan, who was his biological brother.
But he only felt disgust towards him.
Because as soon as he came back, his parents who loved him the most actually ignored him and even sent him to Jin Chaochao to be bullied by outsiders.
