Huang Jingming was a little confused. The expert did something different and actually asked for gifts. This kind of non-conventional character made Huang Jingming even more impressed by the fourth elder in front of him. Ordinary people chase stars, and practitioners also chase stars.
Moreover, if you worship them blindly, you should look like a superior person. If you can't understand it, then it's because your own level is not enough.
"Here, take a look."
Huang Jingming took out the gift list from his pocket and handed it over with both hands, with a pious attitude, as if he was offering an offering to his ancestor.
The fourth elder took the gift list and read loudly: "Taoist Lu Ming Guan Ming Jing gave me a gold and jade bronze mirror, and the heavenly official gave me a blessing jade belt."
"Senior, please don't be so loud, right?" Huang Jingming blushed and said embarrassedly.
The fourth elder shook his head, "It's okay. When you come, you are a guest. It's all about your heart. After all, etiquette is less important than affection."
"Li Qing?" Huang Jingming almost sat on the ground and looked at the fourth elder with a rich expression. He wanted to tell the origin and meaning of his two gifts, but he was interrupted by the fourth elder before he could open his mouth.
"Ding Jing, right? I've accepted your gift list, but what about the gifts? Just two things. Bring them here before other guests come. I'm open for business now."
"Is it open?" Huang Jingming was speechless again, and secretly said that what came out of the Liangren Bureau was indeed different. He quickly agreed: "Senior, please wait a moment, I will go get it right away."
Huang Jingming hurried back to his room to get the gift he had specially prepared. When he saw the gift, the fourth elder couldn't help but look at Huang Jingming, nodded secretly, and then asked the two women behind him, an old man and a young man, to accept it.
stand up.
"Okay, Big Mouth, put your things away, and then take the guests to sit in the back and witness Tan Xuan's happy moment."
"Okay." Dazui waved to Huang Jingming, "You come with me, and go to the back first to drink some tea and eat some snacks."
Huang Jingming waved his hands hurriedly, "No, senior, girl, you don't have to be so polite. Listen to me, although I am friends with Mr. Tan, I am not a guest. This club is also the property of my disciples. I
I’m quite familiar with this place, so I’d better stay and help my seniors pick up the guests.”
"Really?" The fourth elder looked at Huang Jingming and hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "That's okay. You've arrived. Have you brought the gifts? Leave them to Chun Gu and Dazui."
"Okay." Huang Jingming was very happy to be able to help his idol. He immediately stood at the door happily. Annie wanted to come over to help her but he drove her away.
"Are you kidding? How can you, a worldly person, interfere with this kind of reception?"
Soon someone from the Xiao family came over. The leader was Xiao Zhenzhong, followed by his two sons and one daughter. Seeing the fourth elder who was the concierge at the door, Xiao Zhenzhong was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Wang Weixian behind him, who walked a few steps behind.
Bu arrived at the door first, while Mr. Xiao stood beside the car and looked at the sky. He didn't move, and others didn't dare to move casually, so they also followed him and looked at the sky.
"Elder Lei, you are here. Can you please take a moment to speak?" Wang Weixian clasped his fists towards the fourth elder and said politely. Because of work, although there are not many opportunities to meet, they have also been in contact, so they are no strangers.
The Fourth Elder shook his head and said, "Deputy Director Wang, if you have anything to say, please talk here. I have orders to be the concierge and cannot leave my post without permission."
Wang Weixian glanced at Huang Jingming, who very wisely went to Annie to explain the following work.
Wang Weixian lowered his voice and asked: "Elder Lei, Tan Xuan and Xiao Di have been missing for two days. Do you know about this?"
"Yeah!" The fourth elder's face darkened and he nodded, "I heard about it, so I came here in advance." "Did something happen to these two children? What's the news about you?"
The fourth elder shook his head, "I don't know about this. My boss asked me to come over as a concierge in advance, saying that there were a lot of guests today, and I had to hold on to the occasion to avoid losing our reputation as a good person. But my boss also asked me
Let me give you reassurance. She said that Tan Xuan and your Xiao Ni are safe and will not miss today's good things. You can rest assured and wait for them to come back. If you still have any questions, you can wait for my leader to come.
I asked her face to face."
"Director Yao is coming too?" Wang Weixian asked in surprise.
The fourth elder glared at his bull's-eyes and said with some displeasure: "What are you talking about? The old master is not here. How can my leaders not attend such a big event as Tan Xuan's engagement? Not only my leaders are here, but several of us are here."
All the elders will also come, and some of the old master’s old friends will also come, otherwise what do you think I’m doing here, being a doorkeeper?”
"Okay, okay, I understand." Wang Weixian knew the character of the person in front of him. No matter what, he at least heard good news and immediately returned to the car to report to the old man.
Mr. Xiao led everyone and briefly said hello to the fourth elder and went in. Soon, the Xiao family also set up a set of tables and chairs on the other side of the door. After all, engagement is a matter between a man and a woman.
It's not a guest on one side, and no one can neglect the guests. It's just that they didn't put up a gift account because their custom is to accept gifts when they get married, but not when they get engaged.
The sun rose higher and higher, and there were more and more guests. The club gradually became lively, but cars came one after another, and those who got off were all relatives and friends of the Xiao family. Xiao Tengfei and Xiao Tengfei were greeted at the door.
The smile on Liu Shaojun's face almost froze. There were more guests than expected today. Some distant relatives who had not been informed of the news came unexpectedly. They were guests when they came, and of course they had to treat them with courtesy.
Wait, after all, the Xiao family has always been based on rules. In contrast, the fourth elder opposite the door is very leisurely. The only one who can talk to him is Huang Jingming. The old man and the young man behind him sit like
It's like falling asleep.
"The same goes for Tan Xuan. You've been in Jiangzhou for so long and you haven't made two friends yet?"
"Mr. Tan has an arrogant personality and likes to be alone. He doesn't usually make many friends. However, he does have a friend. When the venue was selected, he came with Mr. Tan. I don't know why he hasn't come today. He should
almost."
"Just one?" The fourth elder's face turned black.
"Counting me, there should be two. I haven't seen the others." Huang Jingming defended without confidence.
Huang Jingming understood the mood of the fourth elder. After all, they were all relatives and friends of the Xiao family who came in and out. It was lively chatting and laughing over there, but it was deserted here. Without comparison, there would be no harm. With contrast, that is
Constant hurt.
Either because they have been waiting for a long time, or because the environment here is so good, many guests start to wander around, especially when they know that this place is only for entertaining them today, and everything is casual, they really become casual. The Xiao family's
Relatives are not necessarily rich or noble. Of course, their quality may be high or low. Of course, there are also many envious and jealous people.
"This place is built like a palace. How much will it cost to take over the whole place?"
"Isn't it the old man who pays for all the money? He has been an official for so many years. What does this mean to their family? That is to say, if the old man retires, he will not be able to arrange an engagement for Xiao Di in Yanjing. He is really rich.
People, an engagement is such a big event. Did you see that hall just now? It’s so beautiful..."
"Yeah, I don't know which kid can actually marry Xiao Di, who has a beautiful and good family. He must not be an ordinary person. I just saw the photo of them. They are really talented and beautiful..."
"What's so unusual? I heard that the man was a driver. I don't know how he deceived Xiao Di."
"Can't you?"
"What can't be done? Didn't you see those people at the door? The big black guy seemed to be on the wrong track at first sight, the old lady looked like a waiter, and the one wearing a mask, I don't know what he was doing.
What about those who don’t want to see others working?”
"Yeah, then why did Xiao Di follow such a person? It's a pity that a good cabbage was lost to a pig?"
People can't be idle. When they are idle, they tend to gossip, and gossip is what idlers love to hear and spread. So soon there were signs of human-to-human transmission, and the scope of the spread became wider and wider.
Guang, no longer limited to a few middle-aged women, the people sitting in the hall began to whisper to each other, and gradually became convinced that Tan Xuan was a pretty boy, and wanted to take advantage of the Xiao family's plan to gain power, and some were even filled with righteous indignation and had begun to prepare.
Tan Xuan's ugly face was exposed at the engagement scene.
hear oneself
The young master was said to be so bad, Chungu was very angry. She opened her eyes and stared at the people who were gossiping. She muttered something as if she was cursing those people, but she closed her mouth after being looked at by the fourth elder.
, but his eyes were always full of dissatisfaction. He wanted to defend Tan Xuan's reputation but was stopped by the fourth elder. Even Liu Shaojun who wanted to defend his son-in-law was dissuaded by the fourth elder.
"Don't get angry over a few gossips on your big day. We are all relatives, just treat it as a joke. Tan Xuan doesn't care about other people's gossips anyway."
"What Mr. Lei said is that those who are clean will be clean themselves. Some people just can't see others being good."
While he was talking, three cars stopped in front of the door. A white-haired old man with a cane got out of the car in front, followed by a graceful middle-aged woman. The two cars behind got out of the car and four young men holding gift boxes in their hands.
When the old man saw the fourth elder at the door, he immediately picked up his crutch and clasped his fists, and said loudly: "Haixi Lu Fangzheng, congratulations to Mr. Tan on your marriage."
"Same joy, same joy." Seeing the old man, the four elders immediately stepped outside the door.
"It's just a small gift, just to express my feelings." Lu Fangzheng took out the gift list and handed it to the fourth elder.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." The fourth elder was polite and handed the gift list to Huang Jingming behind him.
Huang Jingming immediately entered the state of mind, unfolded the gift list, brought good luck to the Dantian, and read Gao Sheng: "The Haixi Lu family gave me a pair of Dongzhu soft bracelets and an auspicious jadeite..."
Huang Jingming's voice was very loud, calming the guests who were whispering inside and outside, and drawing everyone's attention to the door. Following Huang Jingming's voice, the young people walked into the door one after another holding gift boxes.
Chun Gu and Dazui took them one by one, checked them and put them aside. However, there are many discerning guests among the guests of the Xiao family. Even if they just glanced at it from a distance, some people were already uneasy and regretted that they just followed the crowd.
.
The fourth elder nodded slightly, "Mr. Lu is interested, please come in."
"Please come with me." Annie immediately came over to lead the way. This was the arrangement Huang Jingming gave him just now. It was not her turn to pick up people or things, let alone support. The old man had someone who was dedicated to assisting him, who was more professional than her.
There are too many, but it is still okay to lead the way. After all, he is also the department manager of the club, so his level is not very low.
Before Lu Fangzheng and others had taken a few steps, another shout came from behind, "Bei Moyan Yingfeng, congratulations to Master Tan on the alliance."
The approaching Huang Jingming's voice sounded again, "The Beimo Yan family is sending a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bottles, and a pair of mutton-fat jade unicorns..."
Lu Fangzheng turned around and looked around, waving to Anne with his cane, "Girl, wait a moment, let's wait for her."
