Chapter 666 Engagement Ceremony
The imperial capital is home.
Today is the day when Qi Wan'er, the eldest miss of the Qi family, and Zhao Hongkun from the Zhao family get married. According to the custom of the imperial capital, the engagement banquet should be held at the woman's house first, and then the marriage will be held at the man's house after a while.
Qi Waner's lungs are going to explode these days. She originally just wanted to go home to see her mother, and then go to meet Qin Haodong after staying for a few days.
Unexpectedly, a master Yuan Tianren suddenly jumped out and said that he was a rare prosperous husband in ancient and modern times, and then a marriage with Zhao Hongkun was added out of thin air.
She originally wanted to escape secretly, but she was blocked by Qi Yulong, who had been prepared, and now she is no different from ordinary people. no chance.
He wanted to contact Qin Haodong, but he didn't even have half a reliable person around him, nor a phone number, so he couldn't get any information out.
She was annoyed here, but the Qi family was beaming with joy.
Zhao Hongkun is the third-generation leader of the Zhao family, and the heir to the most vocal patriarch. After the marriage of the Qi family and the Zhao family, the alliance between the two families will be unbreakable, which will greatly benefit the development of the Qi family in the imperial capital.
The Zhao family is also very enthusiastic about this marriage. Once the two families are friendly, the relationship of allies is more stable after the marriage.
Second, Qi Wan'er not only captivates the country, but also has a prosperous husband's life that Master Yuan said is rare in a thousand years. After such a daughter-in-law gets married, it will definitely make the Zhao family prosper, and even become the head of the seven aristocratic families.
Under the high 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 noble families who were ranked the highest in the imperial capital received wedding invitations.
Qi Yulong was standing in front of the door of Qi's house in a straight suit, welcoming the guests with a happy face, while the old man Qi Guofan was sitting in the lobby in a festive Tang suit.
Regarding the marriage between the Qi family and the Zhao family, although other aristocratic families are also unhappy, the matter of face is to be done after all, so the other five major families are all in attendance.
In addition, due to the recent news that Qin Zongheng has become a saint, Chu Xuanyue's status has risen, and she was specially invited this time, and her status is the same as that of several other great family patriarchs.
After receiving the wedding invitation, she originally did not want to come, because she did not want to face the head of the Chu family, Chu Shanhe. Later, under Ye Qing's persuasion, in order to make a good network for her son to return to the imperial capital in the future, she finally came.
But after coming to Qi's house, she still avoided Chu Shanhe far away and sat on the other side.
Chu Shanhe also saw his daughter, sighed with a complicated expression, and finally did not speak.
In the dressing room, Shi Zhixuan said to Qi Wan'er, "Girl, hurry up and put on your makeup, it's about time."
Today Qi Waner was wearing a brightly colored cheongsam, but her expression was very indifferent, she just sat quietly on the chair without saying a word.
"Mom, I've already told you and Dad that I already have a boyfriend, so why should I get engaged? Is it just because of the nonsense of that idiot?"
Shi Zhixuan sighed and said: "Girl, if you want to blame this matter, blame Mommy, I shouldn't take you to do the math, but this is the end, we can only accept our fate, a girl from a big family, marriage has always been Not on my own."
Qi Wan'er said angrily, "I don't believe in fate. If I believed in fate, I would already be dead. Haodong gave me this life. If I want to marry, I will marry him alone, and I will not marry anyone else."
Shi Zhixuan said: "Daughter, mother knows that you are suffering, but this matter was decided by your grandfather, and we can't change it, and I think Zhao Hongkun's child is not bad, and you are not wronged to marry him."
"No, the family is the family, I am me, and I am the master of my marriage. Since the entire Qi family is forcing me, then it is no wonder that I am not sympathetic."
A look of determination flashed across Qi Wan'er's face, and she said to the makeup artist next to her, "Come on, give me makeup."
Shi Zhixuan said worriedly, "Child, don't do stupid things..."
Qi Wan'er said, "Mom, I'm in charge of this matter, you don't have to worry about it."
At this moment, the banquet hall of the Qi family was full of friends.
As today's male protagonist, Zhao Hongkun wore a black suit, and his tall figure showed strong confidence.
As the core figure in the three generations of the Zhao family, he can be said to be the favored son of heaven, and he has performed extremely well since he was a child.
This kind of achievement is enough to make him look down on his peers from other aristocratic families, and he seems to be the leader of the younger generation in the imperial capital.
In the Zhao family, Zhao Hongkun is also highly valued by the patriarch, Mr. Zhao, and has obtained a certain right to decide family affairs. Unless those major matters related to the life and death of the family, he has the right to make final decisions.
As an excellent man, the matchmaker who came to Zhao's family to propose marriage in recent years has almost stepped over the threshold, and countless ladies and ladies have thrown olive branches to him.
But Zhao Hongkun refused all of them. At most, it was just a show. He thought that those women were not worthy of him until Qi Waner appeared.
In his opinion, with his ability and talent, it is a match made in heaven with Qi Wan'er, who has a rare prosperous husband for thousands of years.
He has already overwhelmed the younger generation in the imperial capital. If he gets the help of Qi Wan'er, his future achievements will be limitless.
Originally, he proposed to the Qi family because of Yuan Tianren's words, but when he saw Qi Wan'er's peerless face, he was immediately shocked.
If a man wants to be successful, the woman behind him is absolutely very important. Because of this, the three words "prosperous husband's life" are full of endless temptations for everyone, and there are countless people who come to Qi's family to propose marriage, but only he Zhao Hongkun finally Had the last laugh.
Just as he was getting more and more complacent, an old man walked in from outside, it was Yuan Tianren, the most famous master of the imperial capital.
Yuan Laodao is about sixty or seventy years old, with long hair and white beard, blue Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and looks like a fairy.
Yuan Tianren was very popular in the imperial capital. Wherever he went, he immediately shouted and hugged, and countless people stood up to greet him.
After seeing him, Zhao Hongkun immediately greeted him: "Master Yuan, you are here, the junior would like to thank you for your guidance."
Yuan Tianren stretched out his hand to straighten his beard, and said with full style: "Old Daoist does not dare to be greedy for the merits of heaven, and it is also your luck that you can obtain a prosperous life that is rare for thousands of years."
Zhao Hongkun said respectfully: "In the end, I still have to thank the master for his guidance. Your great kindness, Hong Kun, will never be forgotten. When you have time, Hong Kun will thank him individually and invite the master to appreciate it."
"Ruzi can be taught, and the future is promising."
Yuan Tianren nodded with satisfaction, dropped eight words and walked inside.
Zhao Hongkun turned around and saw that Qi Wan'er had done her makeup and walked into the hall.
She was wearing a bright red cheongsam, which set off her beautiful figure incisively and vividly. Her long hair was pulled up high, revealing her fair neck and shoulders, like a peacock that was always open, and the dazzling brilliance illuminated the entire hall.
Since meeting Qi Wan'er, Zhao Hongkun has been amazed every time he sees it. 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's side and reached out to hold her hand.
After getting engaged today, they will become a prospective husband and wife. In the eyes of such an aristocratic family, the engagement ceremony is far more effective than the small book of the marriage certificate.
As long as today's ceremony is completed, then Qi Wan'er will be his Zhao Hongkun's wife.
But Qi Wan'er obviously didn't think so, she took a step back slightly, Zhao Hongkun grabbed a blank.
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, it's not my volition to participate in this engagement ceremony today. I have someone I like, and even if you can get my people, you can't get my heart."
After a pause, she said to Zhao Hongkun who was stunned, "Besides, you may not be able to get my people."
In the face of Qi Waner's rejection, Zhao Hongkun didn't care when he came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Waner, 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 it 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 to him."
Zhao Hongkun said proudly: "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 match me anyway. Compare."
Qi Wan'er smiled coldly and said, "You think too much, no matter what point he is 10,000 times stronger than you."
Zhao Hongkun smiled indifferently. He didn't take Qi Wan'er's words seriously at all. In his heart, he was the direct descendant of the Zhao family in the imperial capital, the favored son of heaven, how could there be a better young man than himself.
"Wan'er, today is our big day. I don't want to argue with you. Please believe me. I will definitely touch your heart in the future."
"It's impossible, he's the only one in my heart."
Qi Wan'er turned around as she spoke, as if she wanted to leave, but suddenly thought of something, turned around and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, I'm already his person now."
Zhao Hongkun can ignore the words he said before, but these words hit his pain point all of a sudden. For an extremely arrogant man, the fiancée suddenly said that he had slept with another man, which is undoubtedly a huge insult!
He clenched his fists violently, and the veins on his forehead burst.
Qi Wan'er had a panoramic view of his expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. If she wanted to rob her as a wife, she would make him unhappy!
