I drove non-stop all the way to the Haicheng Bund and arrived at the entrance of the lobby of the Peace Hotel. As soon as I parked my car, a parking boy came to greet me.
Lu Shouyue got out of the car and gave the key to the parking boy, and took Lin Wanwan into this key cultural relic protection unit.
The Peace Hotel, known as Haicheng's city card, was founded in the fourth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of a hundred years.
As soon as you enter the door, you will feel the historical charm. This kind of building with cultural heritage has a completely different look and feel from ordinary modern hotels.
However, for Lin Wanwan, who often attended the banquets of Tang nobles, the nobility of the Peace Hotel did not intimidate her.
After all, those aristocratic families in Luan County are the real aristocratic families, and they play their nobility clearly. After the Tang Dynasty, there have been no real aristocratic families in China.
It is a pity that the ancient buildings of the aristocratic houses in Luang County have all been lost in the long river of time, without leaving a single trace. Otherwise, future generations would be amazed when they see it.
At that time, every door and every window was a carefully crafted work of art, far beyond the reach of ordinary buildings. The scenery and the nearby mountains and forests were just the basic design. It truly made it possible to live in a busy city and enjoy the scenery of forests and springs.
interest.
Therefore, in terms of knowledge, Lin Wanwan is already very broad.
The place where Lu's mother Ye Yinyin held her birthday banquet today was at the Dragon and Phoenix Hall of the Peace Hotel.
When taking the elevator up, Lu Shouyue raised his wrist to check the time, and said to Lin Wanwan: "Wanwan, you haven't rested all the way here, are you tired? Why not go to the suite to rest for a while? How about you? The banquet hasn't been held yet.
We started so early and now we have to socialize."
"Okay." Lin Wanwan said happily, "I'm tired but not tired. You drove the car. But it doesn't hurt to take a rest."
It was just time to tidy up her makeup. She said she spent all the time fixing her makeup all the way here, and she didn't want to socialize with people she didn't know.
"Then wait for me." Lu Shouyue took out his mobile phone and whispered a few words. When the two of them walked out of the elevator and came to the door of Suite 520, the person who came to deliver the room card also arrived.
"Master, I'll give you the room key. My wife and husband are resting in the Chinese suite."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, Uncle Wang."
After the person left, Lin Wanwan looked at the other person's back and raised her lips and said, "Teacher Lu, is this a member of your family? Your family has quite an ancient custom. I didn't expect that people in modern times would still call them young master."
"Well, Uncle Wang and his family have been following my grandfather and then my father since the old society. You know that once a person stays in a place for a long time, he will treat the old habits of that place as the common laws of the outside world.
In psychology, this is called the projection effect." Lu Shouyue casually took a bottle of mineral water from the entrance, unscrewed it and handed it to Lin Wanwan, "Drink some water?"
"Thank you." Lin Wanwan took the mineral water and said, "The projection effect refers to the fact that humans always assume that others are similar to themselves, right?"
"Not bad." Lu Shouyue replied with a smile, "You sit down for a while while I go to the bathroom."
"good."
After Lu Shouyue entered the bathroom, Lin Wanwan visited the suite.
The area here is quite large, it feels like 1,670 square meters. The overall emerald green pattern and decoration are very exotic, and it is filled with the flavor of Asan, gorgeous and sentimental.
Looking out from the window of the living room, you can see the invincible river view and the towering Oriental Pearl Tower.
In addition to the bathroom outside, there is another bathroom in the bedroom.
Lin Wanwan walked inside with her bag and looked at her makeup in the mirror. Her skin was in excellent condition. Three hours had passed and she didn't take off her makeup at all. She didn't need to touch up her makeup.
Except for her hairstyle, which was a little flat when she leaned back on the seat, she was still radiant, and she was ready to meet guests at any time.
Lin Wanwan simply tidied up her hairstyle, restoring her fluffiness and laziness.
When Lu Shou asked to come over, the two casually ate some fruit in the small restaurant in the suite, chatted for a few words, and after checking that the time was almost up, they got up and walked to the banquet hall upstairs.
There are already many people sitting in the seats upstairs. Apparently Lu Shou made the appointment just right.
.
Because she came in with Lu Shou, as soon as she entered the room, Lin Wanwan was sensitively aware of the countless probing glances cast on her.
But she didn't know anyone here, so she just followed Lu Shou's promise without looking back.
Anyway, as the saying goes, guests do as they please. Lu Shouyue can sit wherever Lu Shouyue arranges for him.
The two went straight to the main table. Today's birthday girl, Mother Lu, had already stood up and greeted Lin Wanwan. With a lively smile on her face, she opened her arms and gave Lin Wanwan a warm French hug: "Wanwan, you are here today,
I'm so happy. Aren't you tired from the journey? Come on, come on, sit down and have some snacks to satisfy your hunger."
Ye Yinyin is wearing a modern improved version of Hanfu made of silk today. It is tailored to fit her body and looks like it has been tailor-made. It especially complements her temperament and looks very graceful and luxurious. Even compared to those aristocratic ladies of the Tang Dynasty, she is no less generous.
.
"Aunt Ye, I wish you a happy birthday!" Lin Wanwan smiled and handed over the generous gift she had prepared. The latter happily took it with both hands, then pulled Lin Wanwan to sit next to her, and directed Lu Shouyue to move a chair for Lin Wanwan.
drinks.
Lu Shouyue is a good and obedient son.
The eyes of the rest of the people at the main table rested on Lin Wanwan's wrist for a few seconds, with some complicated expressions flashing in their eyes. Everyone was extremely curious about this beauty who was as beautiful as a star.
This bracelet was often worn by Ye Yinyin in the past. The people at the main table were all relatives and friends of Lu Shouyue, so of course they all knew the origin of this bracelet.
Now that it appeared on Lin Wanwan's wrist, it would be strange not to be curious.
Lin Wanwan was a little embarrassed by Mother Lu's enthusiasm, but enthusiasm was better than indifference, so she just smiled. Anyway, she was not the protagonist today, so she didn't need to socialize or anything like that. After the courtesy was returned, she felt relieved.
After Ye Yinyin sat down, Lu Shouyue's aunt, Lu Junyue, who had met Lin Wanwan once, smiled and said: "Shouyue, why don't I introduce Wanwan to everyone? This is the first time you have brought a girl here."
A blush flashed across Lu Shouyue's face, and then he introduced Lin Wanwan calmly. Sitting at this table were his father, aunt, uncle, uncle, aunt, and cousins of the same generation.
The whole family is all relatives, Lin Wanwan is the only outsider.
Lin Wanwan laughed a little awkwardly, this scene was different from what she had imagined.
At first, she thought that the modern celebrity banquet was a Western-style one, where you hold a wine glass and help yourself to find delicious food. This makes communication easier! Isn't that how it is shown on TV? How come it is actually so Chinese-style?
