In fact, what can guests who come here not eat? However, the festive psychological effect of longevity peaches is real. If you share the longevity peaches of a prominent figure like Mr. Meng, how can you get some happiness?
Seeing everyone sharing the birthday peaches, Mr. Meng was very happy. He opened his hands and said, "Everyone, I believe everyone knows that besides being my birthday today, there is one more thing I want to announce."
Ji Kaiyang's heart suddenly tightened, his eyes were looking at Mr. Meng, and his hands were shaking a little.
Who would have thought that Mr. Meng actually sighed and said, "What is the old man's biggest wish in life? It is to see his descendants live a healthy and happy life. When I invited everyone to the banquet, I had already
As I said, my granddaughter Meng Xinhan’s engagement will be announced tonight.”
At this point, Mr. Meng sighed again: "However, some minor changes occurred in the meantime. I'd better ask Mr. Hu Mingxuan to explain the situation in detail."
Everyone was stunned for a while. They really didn't know how such a change could happen.
Song Xiaojia suddenly pointed at the person approaching Mr. Meng and said, "Look, isn't this guy the drunkard who broke into our private room?"
Lin Yuan took a closer look, and it was true that the Hu Mingxuan mentioned by Mr. Meng was the drunk man he met in the private room just now.
In an instant, Lin Yuan figured out that Hu Mingxuan must have had a certain purpose in going to the private room. Otherwise, how come it was such a coincidence that the waiters around him disappeared? If no one arranged it, these waiters would dare to leave their posts without permission.
He will definitely be fired.
Hu Mingxuan pretended to be a drunkard and went to the private room. He must have set it up himself, but what was his purpose?
At this time, Hu Mingxuan had already walked to Mr. Meng's side, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed several times: "I wish Grandpa Meng a long life."
Mr. Meng felt a little distressed and pulled Hu Mingxuan up, dusted his knees, and said, "Good boy, what age are you still doing this?"
"Hey, Grandpa Meng, only in this way can we express what I'm thinking."
"Okay, Mingxuan, just tell me."
Hu Mingxuan stood where Mr. Meng was speaking and said loudly: "Dear guests and friends, although my surname is Hu and my grandfather Meng's surname is Meng, my father has said more than once that without Grandpa Meng, our Hu family would not be what it is today. Hu Meng
The two families have been friends for generations. Therefore, when my father saw that I was not married and the lady of the Meng family was not married, he proposed that the two families should marry each other. "
Having said this, Hu Mingxuan paused and bowed to Mr. Meng again: "Grandpa Meng, thank you for supporting the Hu family for so many years. Logically speaking, we juniors should respect the decisions made by your elders.
However, sister Xinhan and I have no relationship foundation, so I feel that this marriage is not suitable, Grandpa Meng, so I think this matter should be considered in the long run."
The surrounding guests were in an uproar. This was equivalent to saying that Hu Mingxuan declined the Meng family in person. Is this a precursor to the rift between the Meng and Hu families?
But Lin Yuan understood that once Jing Mingming explained everything, the Meng and Hu families did not intend to stick to their own opinions and match up a pair of people who did not love each other.
Since Meng Xinhan has his own heart, forcing Meng Xinhan and Hu Mingxuan to marry will only make things worse and worse.
Today is not a society of feudal etiquette. In matters of marriage, the opinions of the parties involved must be respected. Even though many families still respect the previous etiquette, it is no longer as unchangeable as it used to be.
Both the Meng and Hu families were actually looking for a way to escape decently. Hu Mingxuan looked like he was refusing, but in fact this was giving the Meng family a step down.
To put it bluntly, Hu Mingxuan is a relatively pragmatic person. Instead of getting engaged to someone he doesn't love, he doesn't know whether he will be happy in the future, but it is certain that he will be in a lot of troubles.
Rather than being in trouble and not necessarily being happy, it's better to just quit.
From this we can also see that the Hu family are indeed smart people.
Without Ji Kaiyang in the middle, the marriage between the Hu family and the Meng family would naturally be a good thing. But with Ji Kaiyang, the marriage has changed. Meng Xinhan has no feelings for Hu Mingxuan. This is one of the reasons. Ji Kaiyang has the Yun family behind him.
The second one, plus the vague shadow of Mr. Song in this matter, if this marriage is forced to continue, it will definitely be more gain than loss.
Of course, the Meng family was actually at fault for the whole thing. After all, it was a girl from the Meng family who had a sweetheart, and the Hu family, where Hu Mingxuan lived, was not at fault.
What Hu Mingxuan did was actually to save the Meng family's face. With his rhetoric, it should be said that he took the responsibility on himself and did not embarrass the Meng family.
Lin Yuan blinked and noticed that Jing Mingming took the microphone from the side, cleared his throat and said: "Actually, I think what Mingxuan said is very reasonable. In today's society, the emphasis is on personal freedom and finding your own partner.
Individual opinions should be respected. I believe that there are no elders in the world who do not care for their younger generations. The Hu and Meng families have good intentions, but they are a bit subjective."
After saying that, Jing Mingming and Hu Mingxuan looked at each other and smiled.
Lin Yuan completely understood that when Jing Mingming was talking to him, he admired Hu Mingxuan very much. Jing Mingming must have done a lot of work.
Hu Mingxuan first vaguely raised the issue, and Jing Mingming responded with a stab. What was originally a very embarrassing matter was resolved invisible.
You know, Jing Mingming is like a giant in the audience. He is the representative of super successful people. His words can be viewed by many people.
Jing Mingming has said so, who can still laugh at the Meng and Hu families?
Meng Lao naturally knew all this, and sighed: "It seems that I am really old, and I still cling to very old ideas about many things."
Jing Mingming said with a smile: "Mr. Meng's words are wrong. When it comes to caring about the younger generation, who can compare with the insights of the older generation? In fact, everything arranged by the older generation may not be unreasonable. But who in the younger generation can understand it?
What about the old man's psychology? Don't talk about others, let's talk about me. Back then, I always had a rebellious attitude towards everything my father arranged for me. Well, I won't understand the old man's painstaking efforts until I get older. I won't talk about it anymore, but I wish Meng Meng
The old fortune is as good as the East China Sea, and the longevity is as long as the Southern Mountains."
Lin Yuan secretly pointed out that these people who were experienced in the world were so considerate. He thought of countless ways, but he never thought of such a beautiful solution.
What was originally a matter that the Meng and Hu families should find embarrassing may become a good talk.
Hu Mingxuan's father, Hu Jinhai, walked up to Mr. Meng and said, "Mr. Meng, look, I originally wanted to get closer to you, but I didn't expect this to happen. When my son gets older, he can't help himself."
Mr. Meng held Hu Jinhai's hand tightly and said, "Xiao Hu, stop talking, I'm really making things difficult for you. If you hadn't taken care of my old man back then, how would the Meng family be today?"
"Oh, old man, you have broken me, and I can't bear it. Mr. Meng, I wish you good health and live another hundred years."
Mr. Meng clapped Hu Jinhai's hand, sighed constantly, and asked his son to invite everyone to the dance, but he pulled Hu Jinhai and retreated with Jing Mingming.
Hu Mingxuan said something to Hu Jinhai, turned around and walked to Lin Yuan.
"Master Lin, hello, I am Hu Mingxuan. I just made a joke to you, please don't mind." With that, Hu Mingxuan stretched out his hand.
Lin Yuan reached out and held Hu Mingxuan's hand and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Hu. You praise me too much. Master is just a compliment. If Mr. Hu can treat me as a friend, just call me by name."
Hu Mingxuan smiled brightly, then looked at Ji Kaiyang and said with a smile: "You are Ji Kaiyang, sister Xinhan's suitor, right? You have great vision, I wish you all the best."
At this time, Ji Kaiyang was so excited that he liked everything he saw and immediately smiled back: "Thank you, Mr. Hu. If you can treat Lin Yuan as a friend, treat me as a friend too."
"Haha, we two can't be friends."
Ji Kaiyang was stunned by Hu Mingxuan's words. He really didn't know why the other party said that.
Lin Yuan laughed and said: "Haha, Mr. Hu regards Meng Xinhan as his sister, and we are relatives, so of course we cannot be friends."
"Lin Yuan is indeed worthy of the name of a master. No wonder Uncle Jing is full of praise. He really hits the spot." Hu Mingxuan has a very high emotional intelligence. With just a few words, he got closer to everyone.
Ji Kaiyang laughed a little embarrassedly. He was a soldier. No matter what he did, he was straightforward. When his superiors told him something, he would complete it without hesitation. However, when interacting with others, he often did not have a multi-dimensional way of thinking.
"Brother Ji, sister Xinhan is waiting for you at the dance. Go over and invite her to dance. Lin Yuan, you have a dance partner, so I won't accompany you."
After saying that, Hu Mingxuan walked up to Lin Keer and made a standard bowing gesture: "Charming lady, can I ask you to dance?"
Lin Ke'er looked at Hu Mingxuan with complicated eyes, suddenly stepped back, and said lightly: "Young Master Hu, I'm feeling a little unwell. I'm sorry, but I can't accept your invitation."
After saying that, Lin Keer turned around and left.
Hu Mingxuan looked embarrassed. He had not expected such a scene. Fortunately, he had seen many scenes before, so he quickly said: "Lin Yuan, you go ahead and dance. I'll go and see what's wrong with Ms. Lin Ke'er."
It seems that Hu Mingxuan has a very good impression of Lin Keer, and this guy wants to pursue Lin Keer.
Lin Yuan stopped Hu Mingxuan and first said to Zhang Lianfei: "Lianfei, take Xiaojia to see Sister Ke'er, Xiaomeng, let's talk to Mingxuan."
After saying that, Lin Yuan took Hu Mingxuan to one side and whispered: "Mingxuan, since you said we are friends, tell me, is it premeditated that you pretend to be a drunk tonight?"
Hu Mingxuan nodded and said: "Yes, it was premeditated. After Uncle Jing told the matter, I talked to sister Xinhan. Emotional matters are not forced. What's more, the relationship between our Meng and Hu families is through
The test of vicissitudes of time, how could we have a falling out because of marriage? As a result, sister Xinhan strongly recommended her best friend to me."
"Haha, so you want to see for yourself, how is Lin Ke'er?"
"Yes, Miss Kerr is beautiful and kind-hearted. If she is willing to help a drunkard like me, it means she is not pretending. I originally wanted to get to know her, but who knew that such a thing would happen."
