Chapter title: after new year''s day, when people were still immersed in the joy of the new year, one thing detonated the domestic atmosphere.
Xu Tianyin, the legitimate grandson of the Xu family, and Xia Shao, chairman of Huaxia group, got the good news of engagement!
This is not the first time I heard the news of their engagement in China. The last time I heard it was when the national treasure mural returned six months ago. At that time, I heard that they had long planned to get engaged, so they had to postpone the engagement event for the world auction summit. This event has triggered a heated discussion in China. Together with the grand event of the return of murals, it can be called the most eye-catching event six months ago. But after Xia Shao returned home, the good news of her engagement never came out again.
Over the past six months, many people have been wondering whether the news they heard at the beginning deceived people? [
But no one expected that when people gradually forgot about it, the good news of engagement came out so suddenly.
This time it''s not hard to tell whether it''s true or not, nor is it speculation and rumors from all parties, but the truth - can the engagement invitation sent by the Xu family be false?
Early in the morning, the people who received the engagement invitation were a little confused. They wondered if they had not woken up. When they opened it, they were even more shocked! The invitation was actually written by Xu Kangguo!
For the engagement banquet of his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, the old man personally wrote a wedding invitation to invite guests. The time was the night of the twelfth lunar month at the national hotel in Beijing. The signature was written by Xu Kangguo!
Some of the high-ranking people in the capital know Xu Kangguo''s handwriting. Even if they don''t know it, they know it must not be a joke - who dares to joke like this? Joke about the engagement of the Xu family''s legitimate grandson, and dare to sign the name of master Xu?
It''s true!
Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao will hold an engagement ceremony in Beijing the day before Chinese New Year''s Eve!
The people who received the wedding invitation from the top of the capital called the Xu family one after another. Those who dared not disturb the old man called Xu Yanshao and Xu Yanying''s brother and sister for confirmation. After hearing the unanimous positive reply from the brother and sister, the upper circle of the capital shook!
The people who received the invitation saw that it was still half a month away, so they hurried to prepare the gift! Although the Xu family had conveyed the old man''s meaning on the phone, there was no need to be extravagant. The wedding was mainly congratulations, and the gift was frugal and not allowed to exceed the regulation. However, the Xu family hadn''t had a wedding for 30 years. Who would go to the Xu family''s wedding banquet empty handed?
When the upper circle of the capital was shocked by the good news, the people who received the wedding invitation in Qingsheng, Xia Shao''s hometown, were also flattered!
"Oh, hey! Isn''t this really written by the old man?" among Xia Shao''s friends in the mall, only Xiong Huaixing and Hu Guangjin received the invitation. When they took the invitation, their hands were shaking. They had learned that the engagement would be at the end of the year after Xia Shao came back from England, but they were shocked when they received the invitation!
"This, this, if the old man autographs, I, I want to find a place to mount it!" Hu Guangjin walked around the room with wedding invitations, his face flushed with excitement.
"Look how excited you are. When you get to the capital, you can still see the old man himself!" Xiong Huaixing laughed and made fun of Hu Guangjin. As a state-owned enterprise, he often goes to the capital for meetings, and senior leaders in the capital have seen some of them. Of course, old man Xu is not as important as he wants to see. He is just a little more knowledgeable than Hu Guangjin.
"Then mount it too!" Hu Guangjin said. After half a lifetime, he could get the old man''s autograph and hang it at home. It''s all glory!
The fact that they received the invitation soon shocked Qingsheng. People in the circle found Xiong Huaixing and Hu Guangjin and asked to see the wedding invitation and bring a congratulatory gift to Beijing. There were so many people that they broke the threshold of their company and home.
At the same time, east city.
The Xia family are also busy preparing.
The good news spread that if there were not strict security in Taoyuan District, the threshold of Xia Shao''s home would have to be broken.
"Our daughter still has foresight." Li Juan smiled happily at home[
After returning to the capital in early September, Xia Shao invited a designer to Dongshi''s home and customized dresses for the two old people and their parents to attend the Engagement Wedding Banquet. She also asked their parents to prepare as soon as possible. There was no need for Xia Shao''s instructions, and Li Juan was busy. She counted the days at home every day and prepared some when she had nothing to do. In six months, she had already prepared everything.
Before the wedding invitation was sent, Xia Shao called home again and asked her parents to pick up the two old people from Shili village to avoid being disturbed by some people.
Sure enough, as soon as the news spread, people outside could not enter Taoyuan District, and Xia Zhiyuan could not be found in Huaxia charity foundation, so they all crowded to Huaxia group and Xia Zhitao''s three families. All the people who came were congratulatory and gave gifts. The companies of Huaxia group were better. Those who wanted to make friends did not dare to disturb the normal order of the company, but there was no one blocking the door The most important thing is to send the greeting gift to the hall and put it down before the receptionist opens his mouth.
Xia Zhitao''s three families are a little overwhelmed. Many people sent gifts to their home and invited them to dinner. It''s better to send these gifts to Huaxia group. It''s really hot to send them to them. Xia Shao once warned the family that they don''t dare to accept them. If they can, they will send them to Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan.
Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan are preparing for their family''s trip to the capital. Unexpectedly, the wedding is approaching. Instead of preparing for the wedding, they are busy receiving gifts. These gifts are expensive. Many of them are luxury goods. The husband and wife checked them and recorded them. They received supplements and returned all large red envelopes.
The storm in the officialdom of Dongshi has just passed, and it is a sensitive period for the change of office. Courtesy is reciprocated, and everything is frugal.
The family originally planned to go to Beijing two days before the engagement banquet. As a result, the plan could never catch up with the changes. There were many congratulatory gifts in Dongshi. Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan decided to go a week in advance. When you get to the capital, you can help if you need anything.
Xia Zhiyuan and his wife should leave early. Of course, Xia Zhimei and Xia Zhitao should follow. They don''t want to stay in Dongshi and receive those gifts. If they accept anything, Xia Shao won''t like it, but it''s bad.
Xia Zhimei and Jiang Qiulin hurriedly asked for leave again with their unit. After hearing about it, Xia Zhiqin''s family in Qingdao also promised to go to the capital together. Zhang Ruman is studying at the military academy in Beijing and has just had a winter vacation, but the military academy has training tasks during the winter vacation. Even if Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin are not engaged, she can''t come back until the new year. Zhang Qixiang and his wife are going to see their daughter.
Xia Shao received a call from her parents in Beijing and arranged the hotel in advance. When the family arrived in the capital, they had a meal with the Xu family that night.
The old man and Xu Yanshao''s family, the Xia family, have met. Xu Yanying''s family is the first time to see each other, but both of them are good talkers. Even Liu Lan behaved appropriately at the dinner that night in order not to lose face for the Xu family, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
Xu Yanying even suggested that Xia Shao accompany her family to have fun in the capital for two days. They just have to work on the preparations for the engagement. What are Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan good? Finally, the old man patted the board, "it''s all a family. Don''t worry about it. Tianyin''s parents died early. His uncle and aunt should help him prepare for his marriage and let them be busy. You''ll see what hasn''t been done two days before your engagement. It''s still too late."
The old man opened his mouth and the matter was settled.
Xia Guoxi and Jiang Shuhui had not been out of Dongshi for a long time and had never been to the capital. Xia Shao personally accompanied the old man to visit the scenery of the capital in the next two days.
The Xia family split up. Zhang Qixiang and his wife went to live near the military academy in the capital to visit Zhang Ruman. Together with the rest, Huaxia group contacted the travel agency, chartered a special bus and took the family to visit the capital for three days.
In the middle of winter, there are not many tourists in the capital. Xia Shao was wearing regular clothes, a snow hat, a scarf and glasses. Most people who passed her didn''t recognize her. In recent years, Xia Shao seldom has such a time to relax and entertain. He accompanies his family, regardless of the company and master''s enemies. He just relaxes with his family and shows filial piety to his younger generation.
The winter in Beijing is colder than that in Dongshi. The two old people are old and can''t afford to work for a long time. After a three-day tour, Xia Shao asked his family to have a good rest in the hotel for two days.
Then, enter the final preparation stage of the engagement ceremony.
……
Since the wedding invitation was sent out, the news has spread all over the country in half a month!
Xu Tianyin, the legitimate grandson of founding father Xu Kangguo and the youngest major general of the Republic.
Xia Shao, chairman of Huaxia group, is the youngest entrepreneur in the business community and a famous feng shui master in the domestic circle. [
These two people actually got engaged.
From Xu Tianyin''s proposal at the opening ceremony of Jingcheng university to the engagement ceremony, it took them a year and a half.
This year and a half, the counterfeiting storm, the police storm, the collapse of the Wang family and the return of murals are all major events.
In the past year and a half, it was speculated that the family background gap could not make the Xu family accept Xia Shao, but Xu Kangguo personally took Xia Shao out of the police station and shook the capital.
In the past year and a half, it was predicted that Huaxia group would suffer a heavy blow, and the relationship between Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao might not end, but the return of the mural shattered all rumors and shocked the world! The news that they were engaged late surprised everyone.
In the past six months, it has been thought that Xia Shao has returned to China, but the news of engagement has not been heard again. The original rumors are likely to be false. However, Xu Kangguo''s Engagement Wedding invitation has shocked the country.
In Xia Shao, it seems that all rumors, speculation and slander are not credible. This girl has been a legend step by step since she started from scratch in Dongshi at the age of 15.
It is said that the wedding invitation for this engagement ceremony was written by Mr. Xu himself.
It is said that although not many guests were invited to the engagement ceremony, they were all senior officials from both political and business circles.
It is said that the venue of the engagement ceremony is at the national hotel in Beijing, which is a national courtesy.
Xia Shao seems to be using all this to tell the world that nothing is impossible. Family background and background are doomed to bow in front of one''s achievements and persistence.
The arrival of this day has attracted many people''s attention to the national hotel in Beijing. Although the engagement ceremony is not open to the public, you can see what a grand occasion it is. Although you know that the ceremony is in the evening, early in the morning, good people look forward to it outside the garden of the national hotel. Even if you are not allowed to take photos, you can''t see the gifts of Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao Where''s the car? The cold-faced young general of the Republic, in order to pursue his beloved woman, did not hesitate to propose to Beijing University. Today is the day of their engagement. How should he greet his fiancee ceremoniously?
The engagement ceremony began in the evening. Early in the morning, there was a heated discussion on the Internet. There are all kinds of things to say. Some people hate not to get a look at the scene. It''s a pity that there is no martial law on the scene. No one can get in without an invitation.
Nai''s people had to have fun and discuss on the Internet.
But I''m afraid no one will think of it. At a time when everyone in China is guessing how grand the engagement ceremony is, a pair of young people stand in front of the tombstone in the martyrs'' cemetery on the outskirts of the capital.
The winter in the capital is very cold. On this day, the wind is rare and quiet. There was no wind in the mountains, only the warm winter sun. There was a snow last night, and the sun shone on the snow, so that people couldn''t open their eyes.
In front of the tombstone, in the snow, a pair of young people held hands.
The man was dressed in a black "color" Zhongshan suit, with a straight back. The winter sun fell on his shoulder, melting the lonely cold, and the sharp facial features of the connecting strip were soft.
The woman wore a white "color" drag dress, which was graceful and delicate. She wore the dress for the evening ceremony now. She didn''t feel sorry or cold.
"Dad, mom, we''re engaged." in short words, the man''s hand held her tightly and clenched it several times.
Xia Shao lifted his eyes and smiled, squatted down gently and put down flowers in front of the tombstone. The soft and bright bouquet is not usually used for tomb sweeping. It is used for the evening ceremony. I believe our ancestors didn''t mind and were happy.
Looking deeply at the photos of men and women on the tombstone, Xia Shao got up slowly. She didn''t speak, just smiled softly, leaned against the man and held his hand. Believe that this moment is better than a thousand words.
Xu Tianyin bowed his head and met Xia Shao''s smiling eyes. Since the year he saw her, her smile has always had the magic to make his heart quiet and peaceful. Especially at this moment, she wore his dress in the evening and smiled at him in the mountains, so beautiful, so beautiful
But he couldn''t bear to appreciate it more. He just took a deep look, remembered her at the moment, and said, "let''s go."
In the middle of winter, the mountain was too cold. Because of her persistence, he allowed her to get off and stand in front of the cemetery for a while, but he didn''t want to freeze her for a moment.
Xia Shao smiled, which she insisted. On this day, she always wanted his parents to see them, even if she wore thin clothes. In fact, she is not cold. Today''s cultivation is cold in winter and hot in summer. Xu Tianyin must be the same, but she can''t stop him from feeling cold.
They turned around holding hands and walked down the steps.
There was a sudden wind in the mountains and forests behind him. The sun was clear, the sky was dark blue, and light snow fell on the bright flowers in front of the tombstone. It was white and crystal.
……
Xu Tianyin''s car drove directly into the National Hotel, where Xia Shao has been arranged a room.
The national hotel in Beijing was built in a royal garden of the Ming Dynasty. It is the palace of several emperors. After the founding of the people''s Republic of China, as a national hotel for foreign guests, it was expanded. Chinese style, western style, Islamic style, and Oriental national style. The palace is connected with modern architecture. In the ancient wooden royal garden, it is like a fairyland on earth.
The Xia family is arranged in the Chinese suite. All the furniture in the room is carved with red sandalwood. The presidential suite where Xia Shao lives is even a landing palace lantern. Even the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are authentic from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The room is magnificent, graceful and magnificent.
Xia Zhimei and Xia Zhitao, who had seen this scene, were invited in early in the morning. After checking in, they were flushed and walked around the room excitedly. Xia Zhiqin''s family has never been so philistine before, so they seem calm. They accompany Li Juan, help her sort out the process of the evening, and count the things Xia Shao needs for the engagement ceremony in the evening.
Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin didn''t stay long on the mountain, but the martyrs'' cemetery was in the suburbs. The road took a long time. When Xia Shao returned to his room, it was already noon. The Xia family has had lunch under the hospitality of the hotel.
As soon as Li Juan saw Xia Shao coming back, she quickly put her hands on the matter and greeted the cold and warm, "how''s it going? Is it going well along the way? Is it frozen? Haven''t you eaten at noon?"
Several questions fell down, and Xia Shao smiled and helped his forehead.
Jiang Qiulin smiled happily, "sister-in-law, look what you said. You don''t know how considerate Xiao Xu is to our Shaozi. Can he keep Xiao Shao frozen?"
"In this cold winter, wearing such thin clothes up the mountain, how can Xiao Xu say that she can''t freeze if she doesn''t let her freeze?" Li Juan said back.
"Mom, I went up the mountain in a down jacket. It''s not cold. Do you think I look frozen now?" Xia Shaonai smiled at her mother and motioned her to look at the clothes she was wearing.
Xia Shao was thin when he went up the mountain at this time? She was clearly wearing a long white "color" down jacket, wrapped from her neck to her lower legs.
This is all Nai''s move. She doesn''t dress like this. How could her mother allow her to go out in a dress this morning? Even if she told her that she had been practicing martial arts with her master over the years, her mother was not at ease. Moreover, Xu Tianyin had an air conditioner in her car and agreed to wrap her like this when she went out.
"Don''t you still have legs and feet? Aren''t your feet cold?" Li Juan''s words completely made Xia Shao laugh.
Fortunately, Xia Zhiqin said, "sister-in-law, Xiaoshao dressed like this when going out. They designated that they can''t eat outside at noon. Quickly ask the hotel to send some meals. If you''re afraid that Xiaoshao is cold, let the hotel send a bowl of cold ginger soup."
Li Juan was stunned, and then smiled shyly. Only then did she find that she was concerned and "chaotic".
Xia Shao ate a little and drank ginger soup. The stylist came to the room to help Xia Shao make up and dress up finely.
Li Juan arranged and ordered all the things Xia Shao needed in the evening on the table, so she came to one side and talked about some etiquette that Xia Shao should not forget in the evening.
The women of the Xia family looked at her and smiled, "sister-in-law, how many big scenes has Xiaoshao experienced? Can she make mistakes? She knows the etiquette of seeing guests better than we do! If you have time to remind her, you might as well recite words again. You have to speak on the stage in the evening."
"Yo!" as a reminder, Li Juan became nervous again. She turned around "disorderly". Before she was allowed to speak, she began to be nervous. "What if I forget my words in the evening?"
Tonight, Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan, as the woman''s parents, even at the engagement ceremony, they have to say a few words in front of so many guests to congratulate. These words have long been thought out. Li Juan even wrote them down. She recited them very well at home, but today, she began to be nervous. Don''t say it at night. Now let her think about those words. Her brain is blank and she can''t remember anything.
What can I do?
The stylist was going to adjust the decoration in the hair room of Xia Shao. Xia Shao looked at his mother in the mirror and said with a smile, "forget it, improvise."
impromptu?
Li Juan turned back and stared at her daughter and gouged out her smiling face twice. Improvisation. Think she''s her? When you speak in a world "sexual" scene like abroad, you don''t bring a speech. She doesn''t have the ability to be a mother. She gets nervous when she stops in a crowded place, not to mention that those guests tonight are high-level officials from both political and business circles.
"If you can''t stand on the stage without improvisation and can''t speak, what if you lose face?"
Xia Shao glanced at his mother in the mirror, drooping his eyes, smiling lightly and leisurely. "My parents, even if they don''t speak, should be respected. Who dares to say shame?"
Li Juan was stunned. The atmosphere in the room was quiet. I don''t know how long it took, Li Juan smiled, and her smile was somewhat gratified and moved.
Isn''t it? The greatest pride of their husband and wife in their life is their daughter. Outside, I don''t know how many people envy them and say that they have trained their children well. In fact, from childhood to childhood, they didn''t "fuck" much. Until now, they sometimes feel like a dream. They can''t remember how they came to this day.
But today, her daughter''s achievements are step by step. There is nothing to hide. They are aboveboard. They should be proud of today and should not feel inferior.
Xu was awakened by Xia Shao''s words. Li Juan''s tension soon decreased, and her mentality gradually adjusted. She didn''t mention it anymore, and turned to continue to be busy.
……
At five o''clock in the afternoon, the guests came one after another. Xu Tianyin, accompanied by Xu Yanshao''s family, came outside the hotel to meet the guests.
Xu Yanying''s family greeted the guests coming in to celebrate in the banquet hall, while Xia''s family won''t enter until all the guests arrive. Xia Zhiyuan wanted to accompany his daughter on the red carpet. The closer the time was, the more nervous he was. He asked Li Juan to help him adjust the tightness of his tie several times and said it was hot.
Although it was an engagement ceremony, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin discussed it, and they entered according to the western style. When they got married, they discussed a new wedding.
However, although tonight''s engagement ceremony is western, it has something special.
Outside, guests arrived one after another, and the welcome took nearly two hours.
At seven in the evening, the waiter knocked on the door of the room.
The ceremony can begin.
The engagement paragraph is difficult to write. I don''t want to waste it. It''s almost worn out and badly stuck.
