Today is the engagement day between the eldest daughter of the Qi family, Qi Waner, and Zhao Hongkun of the Zhao family. According to the custom of the imperial capital, the engagement banquet must be held at the woman's home first, and then the wedding will be held at the man's home after a while.
Qi Wan'er's lungs were about to explode these days. Originally, she just wanted to go home to see her mother and stay for a few days before meeting Qin Haodong.
Unexpectedly, a master Yuan Tianren suddenly appeared, saying that he was a rare and prosperous husband in ancient and modern times, and then he created a marriage with Zhao Hongkun out of thin air.
She originally wanted to escape secretly, but Qi Yulong, who was on guard for a long time, blocked her cultivation. Now she is no different from ordinary people. The two bodyguards at the door looked at her so hard that they didn't even try to escape.
There is no chance.
I want to contact Qin Haodong, but there is not even half a reliable person around me, there is no phone number, and no information can be sent out.
She was very upset, but everyone in the Qi family was overjoyed.
Zhao Hongkun is the third-generation leader of the Zhao family and the most popular successor to the family head. After the marriage between the Qi family and the Zhao family, the alliance between the two families will be unbreakable, which will be of great benefit to the development of the Qi family in the imperial capital.
The Zhao family was also very enthusiastic about this marriage. Once the two families made good friends, the alliance became more stable after the marriage.
Secondly, Qi Wan'er is not only the king of the country, but also a prosperous husband, which Master Yuan said is rare in a thousand years. After such a daughter-in-law is married, the Zhao family will definitely flourish, and she may even become the head of the seven aristocratic families.
Under the great attention of the two families, although today was just an engagement banquet, it was extremely lively. Guests and friends were widely invited, and all the aristocratic families in the imperial capital who were ranked first received wedding invitations.
Qi Yulong, dressed in a crisp suit, stood in front of the Qi family's door, welcoming guests with a joyful face. The old man, Qi Guofan, dressed in a festive Tang suit, sat in the lobby.
Although some other aristocratic families were not happy about the marriage between the Qi family and the Zhao family, they had to do it for the sake of face, so all the heads of the other five aristocratic families were present.
In addition, due to the recent news that Qin Zongheng has become a saint, Chu Xuanyue's status has risen sharply. She was specially invited this time, and her status is the same as that of the heads of several other major aristocratic families.
After receiving the wedding invitation, she originally didn't want to come because she didn't want to face Chu Shanhe, the head of the Chu family. Later, under Ye Qing's persuasion, in order to build a good network for her son to return to the imperial capital in the future, she finally came.
However, after arriving at Qi's house, she still stayed away from Chu Shanhe and sat on the other side.
Chu Shanhe also saw his daughter, sighed with a complicated expression, and finally said nothing.
In the dressing room, Shi Zhixuan said to Qi Wan'er: "Girl, hurry up and put on your makeup. The time is almost up."
Today Qi Wan'er was wearing a brightly colored cheongsam, but her expression was very cold. She just sat quietly on the chair without saying a word.
"Mom, I've told you and Dad, I already have a boyfriend, why do you want me to get engaged? Just because of that bastard's nonsense?"
Shi Zhixuan sighed and said: "Girl, if you want to blame this thing, blame mom. I shouldn't take you to tell your fortune, but now that the matter has come to this, we can only accept our fate. For girls from big families, marriage has always been difficult."
You don’t make the decision yourself.”
Qi Wan'er said angrily: "I don't believe in fate. If I did, I would have died a long time ago. This life was given to me by Haodong. If I want to marry, I will only marry him. I will not marry anyone else."
Shi Zhixuan said: "Daughter, mother knows that you are feeling bitter, but this matter was decided by your grandfather, and we can't change it. Besides, I think Zhao Hongkun's kid is not bad, and you are not wronged by marrying him."
"No, the family is the family, I am me, and I have the final say in my marriage. Since the entire Qi family is forcing me, no wonder I am so unkind."
A look of determination flashed across Qi Wan'er's face, and she said to the makeup artist next to her: "Come on, put some makeup on me."
Shi Zhixuan said worriedly: "Child, don't do anything stupid..."
Qi Wan'er said: "Mom, I make the decision on this matter myself, so you don't have to worry about it."
At this moment, the banquet hall of the Qi family was already full of guests.
As today's leading actor, Zhao Hongkun wears a black suit, and his tall and straight posture exudes strong confidence.
As the core figure among the three generations of the Zhao family, he can be said to be the proud son of heaven, and he has performed extremely well since he was a child. He has already reached the fifth level of Grandmaster before he was 30 years old.
This kind of achievement is enough to make him look proud of his peers from other aristocratic families, making him the leader of the younger generation in the imperial capital.
In the Zhao family, Zhao Hongkun is also highly regarded by the head of the family, Mr. Zhao, and has obtained a certain degree of decision-making power in family affairs. Unless there are major matters related to the life and death of the family, he has the right to make final decisions.
As an outstanding man, the number of matchmakers who came to the Zhao family to propose marriage over the years has almost crossed the threshold, and countless ladies from famous families have extended olive branches to him.
But Zhao Hongkun refused them all. At best, they were just acting on the occasion. He thought that those women were not worthy of him, until Qi Wan'er appeared.
In his opinion, with his ability and talent, he and Qi Waner, who has a rare and prosperous husband for thousands of years, are a match made in heaven.
He has already surpassed the younger generation in the imperial capital. If he gets Qi Wan'er's help again, his future achievements will be limitless.
Originally, he proposed marriage to the Qi family because of Yuan Tianren's words, but when he saw Qi Wan'er's peerless appearance, he was immediately shocked. After the two families made a marriage contract, he could laugh out of his dreams.
If a man wants to succeed, the woman behind him is absolutely extremely important. Because of this, the words "a prosperous husband's life" are full of endless temptations for everyone. There are countless people who come to the Qi family to propose marriage, but only Zhao Hongkun finally gets it.
Had the last laugh.
Just as he was getting more and more proud, an experienced Taoist walked in from outside. It was Yuan Tianren, the most famous mystical master in the imperial capital.
Yuan Laodao is about sixty or seventy years old, with long white beard, green Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and looks like a fairy.
Yuan Tianren was extremely popular in the imperial capital. Wherever he went, he was immediately cheered by, and countless people stood up to greet him.
After seeing him, Zhao Hongkun immediately greeted him: "Master Yuan, you are here. I would like to thank you for your guidance."
Yuan Tianren stretched out his hand to straighten his beard and said with great style: "The old Taoist dare not be greedy for the merits of heaven. It is also your luck to be able to obtain a prosperous life that is rare in thousands of years."
Zhao Hongkun said respectfully: "After all, I still have to thank the master for his guidance. Your great kindness will never be forgotten. When you have time, Hong Kun will thank you alone and ask the master to appreciate it."
"A child can be taught and has a bright future."
Yuan Tianren nodded with satisfaction, threw down eight words and walked inside.
Zhao Hongkun turned around and saw Qi Wan'er putting on makeup and walking into the hall.
She was wearing a bright red cheongsam, which highlighted her beautiful figure. Her long hair was tied up high, revealing her white neck and shoulders, just like a peacock with its tail open, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire hall.
Ever since he met Qi Wan'er, Zhao Hongkun felt amazed every time he saw her. He smiled slightly, cheered up, and walked towards his future wife.
"Wan'er, you are so beautiful today."
Zhao Hongkun walked to Qi Wan'er and stretched out his hand to take her hand.
After getting engaged today, they will become a prospective couple. In the eyes of such a wealthy family, the engagement ceremony is far more effective than the small booklet of the marriage certificate.
As long as today's ceremony is completed, Qi Waner will be Zhao Hongkun's wife.
But Qi Wan'er obviously didn't think so. She took a step back slightly, and Zhao Hongkun took advantage of it.
She said coldly: "Don't touch me."
Zhao Hongkun smiled casually and said: "Wan'er, we are going to become a family soon, why are you so shy?"
Qi Wan'er said: "Zhao Hongkun, let me tell you, my participation in this engagement ceremony today is not of my own free will. I have someone I like. Even if you can get my person, you can't get my heart."
After a pause, she said to the stunned Zhao Hongkun, "Besides, you may not be able to get my person."
Faced with Qi Wan'er's rejection, Zhao Hongkun didn't care after he came to his senses, smiled and said: "Wan'er, I know you have feelings for me now, and I understand it very well, but I believe that as long as we become husband and wife, I will be able to
Let you see my excellence, and I will definitely make you fall in love with me."
Qi Wan'er shook her head and said mercilessly: "It's useless. No matter how hard you try, you can't compare with him."
Zhao Hongkun said with a proud look: "Wan'er, although I don't know who that kid is, he only met you a few days before me at most. If we talk about excellence and talent, I don't think he can compete with me anyway.
Compare."
Qi Waner smiled coldly and said, "You are overthinking. He is ten thousand times better than you in every aspect."
Zhao Hongkun smiled indifferently. He did not take Qi Wan'er's words seriously at all. In his heart, he was a direct descendant of the Zhao family in the imperial capital and a proud son of heaven. How could there be any young man better than himself?
"Wan'er, today is our happy day. I don't want to argue with you. Please believe me. I will definitely touch your heart in the future."
"This is absolutely impossible. He is the only one in my heart."
Qi Wan'er said and turned around, as if she wanted to leave, but suddenly thought of something, turned around and said, "By the way, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, I am now his."
Zhao Hongkun could have ignored what he said before, but this sentence suddenly hit his pain point. For an extremely proud man, his fiancée suddenly said that he had slept with other men. This was undoubtedly
What a huge insult!
He clenched his fists fiercely, and the veins on his forehead popped out.
Qi Wan'er took in his expression completely, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. If she wanted to steal her as his wife, she would make him unhappy!
