True to his word, He Jie actually squeezed in and settled in Li Yang's place. Even the two sisters He Shanshan and He Huan also moved in with him.
The house suddenly became a lot more lively, making Li Junshan and his wife smile every day these days.
Especially He Shanshan, who has a very sweet mouth. It was not convenient for Wang Jiajia to come here these two days, but she was forced to come here because of He Shanshan's relationship, and she was asked to call her parents in advance to Li Junshan and his wife.
Wang Jiajia's face turned red and when she called out her parents, the old couple was so happy that they were so excited that they didn't know what to say.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. On the day of the engagement, Li Yang was woken up by his parents early in the morning. Seeing that his parents were more nervous than him, Li Yang really couldn't laugh or cry.
Not only his parents, but also Li Cheng and his sister-in-law were sitting upright on the sofa with unusually serious expressions.
There was no way, ever since they learned the true identity of Wang Jiajia's father, they were both looking forward to and worried about this engagement. With such a big official as their in-law, they still couldn't believe it.
When waiting to go out, He Ailing gave Li Yang several more words of advice.
Li Yang has heard these words many times. When Li Yang agreed, he was also deeply moved in his heart. His parents are always the ones who care about and worry about him the most.
Maybe in the eyes of my parents, I will always be a child.
Several cars drove out from the villa, all the cars available at home were used, and they drove together towards the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, where today's engagement ceremony was still held.
Li Yang's car waited in front of the hotel for a while. After the old man and the others arrived, they drove in together.
Li Yang used Building 5 for his engagement, which is not far from Building 6.
The lobby of Building 5 has long been decorated with joy. Wang Jiajia and her family arrived earlier than Li Yang and were already waiting inside.
Today is an engagement day. There are many people who are not getting married, but there are also a lot of people. The Wang family has many close relatives and friends, plus some friends of the old man and Li Yang. The Wang family's villa cannot accommodate so many people, so in the end they simply rented it in Diaoyutai.
A building.
"Crack!"
Before Li Yang and the others arrived, He Jie and the others set off firecrackers. This is a custom in old Beijing. When getting engaged, you have to set off firecrackers in front of the woman's house. Now everyone regards the hotel as the woman's home.
.
There is also a saying for setting off firecrackers, which is called "nacai".
Liu Gang, Zhao Kui and the others hurriedly unloaded several large mahogany boxes from the car and carried them inside together.
These mahogany boxes contain betrothal gifts, which is also a custom in old Beijing.
In addition, these mahogany boxes may seem ordinary, but they are actually antiques. After Li Yang heard about this custom, he just remembered that his antique shop had several large mahogany boxes from the Qing Dynasty, so he asked Manager Su to give them to him.
Come here, just in time to catch the scene.
As soon as Li Yang and the others arrived, the hall suddenly became much livelier.
Wang Quanzhong also came back from Mingyang specially. His niece's engagement was a big event for them.
Wang Quanzhong has another identity today, that is, as a matchmaker. Li Yang and Wang Jiajia met through an accident, and later they fell in love themselves. According to the customs of old Beijing, a matchmaker is required for an engagement. For the first time, they brought
Wang Jiajia went to visit Wang Quanzhong in Li Yang, so she had no choice but to take on this important task.
There are many tedious rituals during the engagement, such as pressing the tea pot, stepping on the round stool, wearing the engagement ring, etc. Du Gui also came today and started making noises with He Jie and Wang Feng, which really troubled Li Yang.
Ichiban.
Just after ten o'clock in the morning, some relatives and friends who accepted the invitation also came. Li Yang didn't have many friends, and Licheng's hometown didn't invite anyone. Most of them were old friends of the old man and relatives of the Wang family.
"Boss, boss!"
Just when Li Yang was glad that he didn't have to receive guests all the time like he had the past few days, several roars came from the distance.
It was indeed a roar, and Chen Lei's loud voice could be heard from miles away.
Chen Lei, Li Can and Liu Junzheng ran over here quickly, followed by Zheng Kaida and Sima Lin.
Li Yang is engaged, there is no way they will not come.
"Boss, congratulations!"
Walking up to Li Yang, Li Can said excitedly that they arrived in Beijing yesterday and had been holding back their energy waiting to congratulate Li Yang.
"Boss, this is our congratulatory gift. The gift is light but the affection is heavy. Don't worry about it!"
Liu Jun handed over a few boxes with a smile. Compared with the gifts given by other guests, the gifts given by the three of them were indeed not very good. Given their financial conditions, it was impossible to give good gifts.
"Xiaojun, who do you think I am? I'm very happy if you can come!"
Li Yang laughed loudly, pulled the three of them and walked into the living room. Li Yang, who was a little depressed by the complicated ceremony, now felt completely better. Li Yang didn't have many friends around him. Seeing these
His old friends made him very happy.
"Brother Li, congratulations!"
Sima Lin and Zheng Kaida came over together, and the gifts they gave were very heavy. What Sima Lin gave was a pair of golden boys and girls from the Han Dynasty, worth several million. This golden girl was something Sima Lin finally got from others.
I snatched it from the auction in order to give it to Li Yang as a gift, and it took a lot of effort.
Zheng Kaida's gift was not much different. It was a Ming Dynasty jade carving to send Guanyin to his son. He also found this jade carving through hard work.
"Brother Sima, Brother Zheng, please come inside!"
Li Yang was not polite to them, and took them into the hall after collecting the things.
Wang Jiajia also came over. Today Wang Jiajia is wearing a white dress. Although it is not a wedding dress, it looks more beautiful than a wedding dress. The special contrast with Wang Jiajia makes her look like a fairy in the sky.
Especially the purple eye necklace Wang Jiajia wore around her neck. Even Wang Jiajia's mother Liang Fengying couldn't help but ask a few questions when she saw the necklace. She seemed a little disappointed when Wang Jiajia said it was the only one.
"Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful!"
Li Can, Liu Jun and Chen Lei were all in a daze. Wang Jiajia did not deliberately dress up, which gave her an unearthly beauty. Not to mention them, even Li Yanggang was stunned for a moment when he saw Wang Jiajia.
.
"Thank you all for coming!" Wang Jiajia said with a slight smile, which brought the three people back to their senses.
Compared with the three of them, Sima Lin and Zheng Kaida's performance was much better. After all, they were experienced people, but they were also shocked in their hearts, and they were even more envious of Li Yang.
After settling down the first few friends who came, Li Yang went out again. Friends and relatives of the Wang family and old friends of the old man also began to arrive. The number of guests today was not as large as the previous birthdays, but it was not as lively as before.
Difference.
"Brother Li, haha, congratulations!"
Bai Ming, Mr. Mao, and Teacher Cai came hand in hand. The three of them all carried a gift box in their hands. When they saw Li Yang, Bai Ming came forward with a big smile.
In the antique circle, Li Yang is the only one who can be called his true friends, especially Bai Ming. They are true friends of the same generation, unlike other seniors who always have a generation gap in age.
Li Yang hurriedly came over, said thanks with clasped fists, and took Bai Ming and the others into the hall.
"Brother Li, you also know that you, Brother Bai, and I are poor, but you are engaged, so I can't help but care about it. This treasure is not of high value, but it is still a little bit of my heart!"
Bai Ming handed over the gift box in his hand and said with a smile. Mr. Mao and Teacher Cai also hurriedly handed the gifts to Li Yang.
"What did Brother Bai give you? You look like you're still reluctant to part with it?"
Li Yang laughed, opened Bai Ming's gift box, and immediately revealed a blue and white porcelain bowl. Seeing this blue and white porcelain bowl, Li Yang was slightly stunned.
This is a genuine Jiajing official kiln baby play bowl. It is much better than the bowl that Li Yang deceived the liar in the countryside of northern Shaanxi. Li Yang knew that this bowl was Bai Ming's favorite and most precious collection.
He even showed off to Li Yang several times.
Now Bai Ming took out his favorite collection and gave it to Li Yang. Needless to say, this feeling.
"I don't want to part with it. If I don't want to let it go, I won't bring it to you, kid!" Bai Ming scolded with a smile. There was really a bit of reluctance in his eyes. Disrespect is his favorite treasure that he has treasured for more than ten years.
"Brother Bai, thank you!" Li Yang looked at Bai Ming and said softly,
Li Yang could feel Bai Ming's thoughts, and he accepted the gift generously without being polite. Li Yang knew Bai Ming very well. If you don't want him to break a gift, he won't take it back.
"Haha, are you being polite to me? I really want to thank you. Please bring out some wine for Mr. He's birthday that day and let us have a taste."
Bai Ming waved his hand and was a little reluctant to give away his most beloved collection, but he liked Li Yang more. Things are dead and people are alive. Who made Li Yang the most quarrelsome with him?
"No problem, there isn't much wine today, but I will let you drink enough another day!"
Li Yang also laughed. This time it was Bai Ming and the others' turn to be stunned, and then they all showed their surprises. Since drinking that glass of wine a few days ago, they no longer have the same taste when drinking other wines.
, no matter how good the wine is.
Bai Ming just said casually, he didn't expect that there would be that wine today, and it seemed that Li Yang still had a lot of it, which was really an unexpected surprise.
After greeting Bai Ming and the others, Li Yang went out again. Dean Huang, Mr. Liu and several seniors from the Forbidden City came. They are old friends of the old man, and Li Yang is his apprentice. I should come to congratulate you on this engagement.
.
Later, old man Chen Wuji came over alone. Li Yang did not dare to neglect and ran out quickly to pick up the old man. The old man looked at Li Yang and showed a bright smile.
"Mr. Li, congratulations!"
As soon as Li Yang came out, another acquaintance came. Sandara and two people were looking at Li Yang with a smile. Li Yang didn't know when Sandara came to the door of Building 5. It was probably that he was talking to Chen just now.
When Wuji speaks.
"Thank you. You're so far away, so you don't have to come!"
When Li Yang got engaged, he sent an invitation to Sundala, but he didn't expect Sundala to come. After all, there were a lot of things going on in Myanmar, and the mining of mineral veins had reached a critical moment.

Xiaoyu wrote a lot about the engagement section. It originally had more than 6,000 words, but because she didn’t know much about some processes, she deleted those tedious processes and wrote them all in one stroke. My writing capacity is really limited, so please forgive me!
In addition, we would like to thank our friends, we are finally back in the top ten! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at ***(***.***),***
