Jiang Li was still entertaining guests at the front door when he was suddenly poked by the servant at home.
"Miss, look over there."
Jiang Li looked up and saw several members of the Cheng family approaching, carrying many things and grinning.
Not only were they dressed neatly, but Mrs. Cheng and her daughter-in-law also put on custom-made dresses, and even wore complete jewelry.
Jiang Li felt relieved and walked over calmly.
Mrs. Cheng came over to greet her first, took out three thick red envelopes from her bag and placed them on the table.
"Ms. Jiang, we were rude just now. Now, I'm here to apologize to you. Today is your grandfather's birthday after all. It doesn't look good if everyone is so stiff, right? We only need two seats.
.”
Jiang Li took a look at the three red envelopes and estimated that there should be 20,000 yuan in each.
She smiled lightly.
"But Aunt Cheng, you just said clearly that you can't come. There are a lot of guests today, so I will make room for you."
In the past, people would get bored after just a few minutes at a banquet house, but after staying at Jiang's house for half a year, they still felt unsatisfied.
Sister Zhao and Sister Chen had some conflicts, and one of them was assigned to the back hall and the other to the front hall.
"My words are serious. You really didn't worry about the meeting today. They also know that you have been busy with the studio recently. How can you have time to take care of that?"
An energetic voice came over, and everyone looked up and saw Jiang Zhaoyuan, who was leaning on a dragon-head crutch.
How did you contact Mrs. Meng afterwards? I heard that Mrs. Meng had recently set up a studio, so I quickly came over to contact you, saying that I wanted to increase orders for Mrs. Meng.
Jiang Li smiled slightly and went back one by one and said hello one by one.
Of course, that's the previous story.
Beyond your understanding, we basically have nothing to do with rural people.
"Old man Cheng, your girl invited him with bad intentions. He bit Lu Dongbin because he was a bad person. If you put your words out there today, no one from his Cheng family will even think about stepping back from your Jiang family!"
The faces of the Cheng family members were turning blue and white. They were standing there and walking, and they were staying.
Mrs. Meng did sigh, "After all, this is the marriage arranged by the old man. He said that you and Lao Ba are a perfect match. Of course, you juniors have nothing to say."
"Yes, it's your son, Li Li. You will end the arrangement in a few months. The snacks they eat and the tea they drink are all chosen by you."
At that time, listening to the people in Qizhou praising the mother and son of the Jiang family, Bu Chenguan ate a large piece of pastry, glanced at Qizhou twice, then twirled his orchid fingers and clutched the tea cup, deliberately changing the subject and saying:
Her black hair was pinned up with a white jade hairpin, and round Australian white pearls hung from her ears, making her face look whiter and brighter.
"No matter how bad your health is, you can still get sick so often, right? It's the old man's 70th birthday, and he brings it back all year round?"
This man named Wanzhi got into such a bad marriage and still gave him face.
Mrs. Meng sighed, "I came back when I was still in the countryside. I called and said that the twins were sick again. It was hot and it was a bad thing. These two children were born prematurely. They have been suffering from minor and serious illnesses since birth. They are quite pitiful.
.”
"Ah? Who arranged this? It can always be his younger brother and sister, right?"
Mr. Cai, who had eaten sweets due to illness, was given sweet snacks.
"Manru, their family's arrangement today is wrong. It's not in order."
Mrs. Meng smiled from ear to ear.
"The eldest sister of the Jiang family is still sensible. She is young this year. Have you fallen in love yet?"
"I just saw his seventh sister-in-law talking on the phone in front of me. It's quite bad. I know she's back. Where is his eighth sister-in-law? Why would she come out to help for a while during such a dinner?"
"They even invited Mrs. Li to their house. You have the worst temper. You come here all the time for a meal like that. But you actually came here today. It's because their family has such a low reputation."
It really feels like home.
Right now you have to be busy taking care of those distinguished guests.
The bad thing is that you are unprepared if you delay. Almost everyone made a list based on their likes and dislikes, and then asked the Master to recite them sentence by sentence.
It happened that all the people who came in and out of Jiang's house today were shameless people. We were really embarrassed about that person, so we could only take our things and leave in despair.
His dignified appearance and appearance attracted praises from a circle of ladies.
"Yeah, yeah, I was thirsty and I asked for water so I handed it over."
When Mr. Cheng saw this, he quickly stepped forward, behaved like an elder and began to scold Jiang Li.
So for several days, Bu Chen didn't see any movement coming from the villa opposite.
"What's the matter with you little girl? You're so incapable of doing things? Do you have the final say at such a big meeting? It's not your turn to speak in your family, right?"
Her hair has also been carefully taken care of, and she is full of energy, just like a 70-year-old man.
You are a primary school classmate of Mrs. Meng and Jiang Minghai, and we have known each other for a few years.
The heating is on outside the villa, and you are only wearing a light pink filigree cheongsam, embroidered with pearl silver thread underneath, which was specially designed by Mrs. Meng and complements your slim waistline.
Mrs. Meng laughed angrily twice and said, "Wanzhi sent something here."
"It's been a long time since I've seen him, and his girl is becoming more and more energetic."
Bu Chenguan laughed again and looked at the sisters next to him.
It happened that Bu Chen came over at that time.
"Li Li can really say something in your family. Does he have any objection?"
Mrs. Cheng's face froze, and her words were stuck in her throat.
Suddenly, all the ladies in the circle were full of praise for Jiang Li.
Lin Manru's family background was very poor. She married a husband worth over 100 million yuan directly after graduation, and her life was going smoothly.
"They still know, don't they? The eighth daughter-in-law of our family is strange. She is obviously from a rural background, but unfortunately she flew off the branches and turned into a phoenix due to difficulties. As a result, before she gave birth to the child, she returned to her parents' home every once in a while. Or she was the eighth daughter-in-law in our family.
What’s worse, marrying a rural wife who is illiterate and living a bachelor’s life will still make no difference.”
People around were surprised.
Jiang Zhaoyuan came over with a warm grunt and gave the first order to expel guests.
Lin Manru laughed and put the cup up.
"That snack is delicious. Where did you buy it? You can arrange it for your family during the Chinese New Year."
I was wearing a dark purple Chinese-style jacket with blessing patterns embroidered on the bottom, which was solemn and stingy.
As a young lady, Mrs. Meng naturally received criticism from everyone. A circle of noble ladies gathered around the sofa she was sitting on.
But he remembered that Mr. Jiang used to hate this eldest granddaughter the most. How could he leave all the arrangements for his birthday banquet to her?
It was Mrs. Wu who hated drinking green tea and got a cup of black tea.
The person sitting closest to Mrs. Meng is Lin Manru.
Mrs. Meng, who is a bad friend of a young man, also agreed and even invited you over.
"How did Mrs. Jiang train her? He is good-looking and capable. He is like your boy. He only eats and sleeps outside the house every day."
