When Sister Fu got married, she was a soy sauce person. After classmate Le played a song, everything was fine, because most of the first wave of guests were related to her, and some of the guests still had her hair.
invitations, so she and some members of the Chao and Xiao families accompanied the newlyweds to greet the guests.
Some of the people from the Xiao family and the Chao family greeting guests stood on the right hand side of the newlyweds, while others stood in front of the reverse seating room on the west side of the gate. Classmate Le Xiao and Meiren's brother also stood in front of the reverse seating room.
The young people from the Guxiu family were the fastest runners and were at the front of the queue. Naturally, they were the first to enter the park. The people walking together saw the little Lolita who was being protected by Master Chao like a chicken. They were all smiling brightly.
Flying.
Many of them were carrying congratulatory gifts, which were beautifully packaged. When they entered the garden, they first congratulated the couple in front of the screen wall, and then greeted everyone from the Xiao family and the Chao family who were standing to the west of the newlyweds.
After greeting the hosts, Mr. Xuan first gave the gifts and invitations to the clerks who were checking and receiving the gifts. Then he told the clerks that some families were not in the capital and he did not come. He asked him to pass on his blessings and send each family's gifts and gifts.
Register the document together with the list.
After he finished his work, he quickly moved to the south facing room and said to the little Lolita: "Little beauty, I just heard a familiar bird call. Is there another crane bird that has flown to the paradise as a guest?"
Young Master Xuan asked if any birds had come to the paradise. Le Yun wrinkled her nose. Before she could speak, Chao Jiamei's young man answered on her behalf: "Young Master Xuan guessed the truth as soon as he guessed it. Five red-crowned cranes came on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Paradise, our little dumpling said that there was an injured one that fell in the paradise last time and she had treated it. The red-crowned crane is in the lake behind. Master Xuan and others can go and enjoy it at any time if they are interested."
"Ha, that big bird is very understanding of human nature. It specially came to the paradise as a guest when the second girl of the Chao family and Mr. Xiao were getting married. The crane will bring longevity and five blessings will come to their door. It is a good omen. The second girl of the Chao family and Mr. Xiao will definitely be a loving couple and have many children and grandchildren.
”
"I would like to express my good wishes to Mr. Xuan." Mr. Xuan could speak, and everyone in the Chao family and the Xiao family expressed their thanks.
The young men in charge of greeting the guests from the two families passed out cigarettes and wedding candies.
"Mr.

"No problem. Helping in the kitchen is my strength, I will definitely report on time." Mr. Xuan patted his chest with a proud look on his face. Look, this is the benefit of learning to cook. You can be remembered by little lolita at any time.
p>
Hua Shao, Zhou Shao and others went to the front room and each took one or two candies. They didn't smoke, so they didn't take any cigarettes. When they heard that Xuan Shao had been assigned a job, they gave him a jealous look.
The hosts wanted to greet the guests. Mr. Xuan, Mr. Hua and others said a few words to the little Lolita, and then left the park first, then drove the car into the park and parked it, and evened out the space outside for the parking of subsequent guests.<

After the ancient cultivators are Mrs. Wang’s family and the Wang family, followed by Master Tong and his party.
Because her uncle was here, Mrs. Wang didn't have time to catch little Guaiguai and talk to her. She went to his uncle first and exchanged a few words with her peers from the Xiao family and the Chao family. Mrs. He and the people from the Liu family talked with Jay Chou, Wei Qiumeng, and Mr. Wei.
When others arrive, it will be inconvenient for her to occupy Xiaotuanzi, so she will go to the garden with her uncle first.
The He family was led by Mrs. He, and consisted of four generations, with a total of more than 20 people. In order not to cause trouble to the young doctor, the He family did not send out the whole family, and the wives with children did not attend. Otherwise, it would have been five generations.
Traveling together, there are more people.
There are also many people in Liu's family. Mr. Liu, his son and grandson, and his grandson and his children are also four generations.
Chao Erye's invitation to Jay Chou was to invite other families to attend. Jay Chou brought his wife, and their son also brought his wife or children.
Wei Qiumeng and her husband brought their two children with them. Together with her mother's family, Mr. Wei, his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren were also a large group of people.
A large group of people entered the garden and chatted with the owner for a few words. Most of them went to visit the garden, while some went outside and drove into the garden.
Mr. Xuan and others drove into the park, parked the car in the garage, and then went to enjoy the scenery in the park.
The car parked in the garage does not occupy the parking space in front of the house. When leaving, they have to stay behind and wait for the car parked outside to drive away before their car can be driven out.
After that group of guests, no guests came for the time being.
Student Le Xiao took the opportunity to sneak into the kitchen and make bread and dumplings.
About half an hour later, another guest arrived. They were Professor Zhai and his wife, Professor Wanqi’s colleagues, and Professor Fu and his wife.
Behind them are the group of medical madmen that Dr. Wanqi sent the invitations on behalf of the junior sister. Professor Lu, Qin Jiao and others also brought a few little tails - the three classmates of Senior Chen and Little Loli during military training, as well as Professor Lu Kang.
Professor and two young descendants of Professor Qin’s family.
Then, Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao’s old colleagues and friends in the education field also continued to arrive.
Still further behind are the leaders in the jewelry industry. Mr. Ji, Mr. Li, Dongtang, Mr. Li and Mr. Qian, Mr. Ji brought a middle-aged man, and Mr. Li, Dongtang, Mr. Qian and Mr. Li may have brought along their children or wives.
The cars of the big guys in the jewelry industry also drove into the park and parked in the parking area outside the garage.
After them, Mr. Zhou, some juniors from the Yang family, and then Dabo Li Shao’s parents and the Li family, the elders of the Luo Shao family, the Deng family, Wang Yuzhe and his family, as well as Mr. Xiao, colleagues of Sanjun of the Chao family, Lu
Arriving in groups one after another.
The post from Xiao and Chao's family stated that they would officially receive guests at nine o'clock, and the people who received the post were curious about the paradise and wanted to see it, so it was better to do it sooner rather than later.
It was agreed to receive guests at nine o'clock, but in fact, 90% of the guests invited by Xiao Chao's family arrived before nine o'clock. Even Mr. Wu and the Liu family entered the park before the nine o'clock line.
Mr. Wu did not bring Le Shiyun or anyone from the Le family this time, but only one of his sons.
After nine o'clock, the neighbors of the park also arrived in groups.
Le Xiao’s classmate, whose cat is in the kitchen, is in the kitchen, but her consciousness is spread out, and she knows every corner of the entire paradise. She can clearly hear the voices everywhere, and she also knows who is malicious and who is targeting her and her.
Be friendly to the Xiao family and the Chao family.
When the neighbors came in, she also counted the number of people. Not counting the kitchen and waiters, as well as her, Mr. Li Leshan, Brother Qian, Brother Jie and Brother Fu, there were 1,553 people in total.
That number is not the final number, there are still some people who have not arrived yet.
The park is very wide, and more than 1,500 people rushed in at once. Although it was not overcrowded, it was still very noisy. There were people in twos and threes everywhere in the park.
Some people strolled around the garden or went to the academy, or sat leisurely in Ning Cuixuan, Qinghe Hall, attic pavilions and corridors, some went to play in the turrets, and the younger ones sunbathe leisurely in the canal or on the grass.
There were no guests coming for the time being, so the beautiful young man went to Wuwei Kitchen to find Xiaotuanzi and whispered: "Xiaotuanzi, can you help me look around and make a rough estimate of the number of people?"
Leyun kept moving, wrapping dumplings smoothly, and calmly reported the number: "No need to wander around, I counted the number of people, not counting the people in the paradise and the kitchen waiters, including the guests and the Chao family and the Xiao family themselves.
Inside, there are now 1,553 people.”
"What? There are more than 1,500 people? The invitations sent by my family and Brother Xiao's family, the number of people counted is within ninety tables. According to past practice, some people may bring children, so the budget is about five tables, and more can be prepared
Ten tables were prepared for emergencies, how come there are so many more than the budget?" The beautiful boy's eyes widened in shock, and three words came to his mind: Damn it!
They estimated the number of people at about ninety-five tables. Later, Xiao Lele sent an invitation to Mr. Xuan and others. They estimated that there would be about five tables, which is about one hundred tables. There is still a surplus in the budget for one hundred and five tables.
.
As a result, the number of people now far exceeds the budget. Where will the food come from?
We can't blame them for having a small budget, mainly because both the Xiao family and the Chao family have people in important positions, and the banquet arrangements cannot be based on one's own temperament. Generally, the banquet is limited to less than fifty tables.
Since Mr. Chao is engaged in business, the restrictions on him marrying off his daughter or holding banquets are not so strict. No one will find fault with the banquets for seventy or eighty tables, and the joint banquet with the Xiao family for more than one hundred tables will not exceed the standard.<
/p>
In view of the nature of the Chao and Xiao families, the Xiao family and the Chao family carefully considered when issuing invitations and strictly controlled the number of people who were not particularly friendly and could not be uninvited. The invitations only included their own names and specified the number of people.
It is Mr. or Ms. XX who is attending. It is a special person who writes to invite the couple to come.
Because of the precise calculation, the budget can basically be determined to be within 100 tables. The neighbors in the park are temporary additions of guests, and the number of tables will not exceed five. The budgeted number of tables is still sufficient.
As a result, there are now more than forty tables of guests. Who are these extra guests?
It was rare that the beautiful brother was also a little confused. Le Yun bared her teeth and said: "Brother Chao, stay still, don't panic."
"I don't want to panic. The problem is that there are already more than forty tables, and at least five tables of people have not arrived yet. Where does this food come from? Now even if I ask other hotels to deliver food, it will be difficult to get it together."
The little dumpling didn't panic, but the handsome boy kept scratching his head. Let's not ask where the extra four hundred people came from. The same lunch dish is enough to make people worry about baldness.
"Isn't it me?" Le Yun calmly kneaded two more dumplings, blinked her eyes, and said with a well-behaved face: "The Chao family and the Xiao family have ordered nineteen dishes, while the chef and I
It is prepared with the specifications of 190 tables. I plan to save the food for my friends to gather at the park in the evening if there are extra dishes. Even if there are more than 150 tables now, at most we will not be able to gather again in the evening.
It’s enough.”
"Does Lele Xiaotuanzi have the power of predicting the future? That's why he solved our family's problems so easily!" The beautiful young man was excited and held Xiaotuanzi in his arms. With Xiaotuanzi at home, everything is worry-free. Having a little sister is really a blessing.
OK!
"There is no such thing as a prophet. Brother Chao, shouldn't you go talk to the handsome waiters about adding a table?"
Le Yun was not happy about being pressed on the head by the beautiful brother. If she continued to be pressed, her little head would collapse to her shoulders and she would turn into a monster without a neck.
"Okay, I'll go talk to the chef and the handsome waiters." The beautiful boy pinched the cute little face affectionately and hurried to Wuweilou.
The chefs who were busy in the kitchen of Wuweilou were not surprised at all when they heard from Mr. Chao how many guests there were and how many tables they needed to prepare.
The waiters were not too surprised and quickly went to the Pearl Pavilion and moved the table into the Hall of Heroes to place it.
The beautiful young man went to the kitchen and walked around, then returned to the west gate and told the elders of the Chao family and Xiao family how many guests were there now.
Everyone in the Chao family and the Xiao family were shocked. There were forty or fifty extra tables of guests?
I was relieved to hear that Xiao Lele had made two preparations. Fortunately, Xiao Tuanzi was smart, otherwise it would not have ended.
Because there are also guests in Jiahe Zhai, it is not convenient for them to discuss too much. They will study who the extra people are when they get back.
All the latecomers finally arrived before half past ten.
Young Master Xuan went into the Wuwei Cupboard before half past ten to report. Young Master Hua Shaoji and Young Master Zhou also followed suit. The Fourth Young Master took an apron and tied it himself. He prepared the cutting board, kitchen knife, and disposable food gloves, and helped to heat the food.
Dishes.
Brother Fu, Brother Qian, and Brother Jie lit a fire at nine o'clock, heated the pottery and stone jars, and heated the braised whole lamb made two days ago.
Some dishes are served in the steamer after 10:30.
After 10:30, guests gradually gathered from all directions to the Hall of Heroes. They first looked at the seating arrangement in front of the hall and then took their seats.
Those uninvited guests who are not included in the invitation and are brought into the park privately by someone with an invitation will naturally not have their names on the seating list. They will sit at tables with only table numbers and no fixed personnel.
The Hall of Heroes is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there are potted plants and ornaments in the corners and beside the pillars. Many of the ornaments are either jade, agate, amber, crystal, or precious rosewood, rosewood, or Davidia agarwood, and each piece is exquisitely crafted.
The hall is filled with a faint fragrance, not the smell of spices, but the natural fragrance emanating from the wood.
Sitting in the splendid hall like an ancient palace, people feel that they instantly become a distinguished relative of the emperor, with a respected status.
The partitions separating the east and west pavilions were all folded, and the main hall became a whole. There were two rows of Taishi chairs and flower tables outside the middle room of the central hall. Five tables were placed in front of the throne, with an oversized round table in the middle and another
The four tables are standard tables for ten people, forming a four-star ring with five blessings.
Mr. Chao Er, Father Xiao and others also entered the Hall of Heroes and led some highly respected elderly people to sit at the high seats in the middle of the middle hall. For example, Mrs. He and his son and daughter-in-law had a place among the five seats in the middle of the main hall. The grandchildren of the He family
The seats for He Wuye and others are in the East Pavilion.
Professor Yang, Li, Liu, Lao Wanqi and others also had a seat among the five tables, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were the bride's grandparents. They sat at the big table in the middle of the five tables.
Mr. Wu didn't get a seat at the fifth table because he was neither a relative nor a friend of the Chao Xiao family, or the He family, because Mrs. He was the widow of a revolutionary martyr, and an in-law of a granddaughter-in-law of the He family was also related to the Xiao family.
, speaking of it, the He family and the Xiao family are also related. If we look at the distance from the capital, the relationship is probably as far away as the tenth ring road.
Although the relative element has gone through several circles, in the end it is just about being relatives.
Mr. Wu, who was seated in the East Pavilion, was helpless even if he felt resentful. After all, the Wu family, the Xiao family, and the Chao family could not find a single in-law even if they counted up to eighteen generations.
There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, the Wu family is rooted in Province S, the three provinces of Jiangnan. His predecessors only moved to Beijing to develop. Mrs. He’s ancestral home is from Linhai in present-day Province F and she moved to Songhai City.
In terms of residence, the Xiao family and the Chao family are both from the north, and the Wu family and the Chao family and the Xiao family are incompatible with each other.
