Mr. Xu frowned, and the second generation of the Xu family smiled awkwardly. Then Liu Zhenghong secretly glared at his daughter, blaming her for talking too much, and said: "What day is today? There are no rules!"
Liu Lan was reprimanded by her father and was a little unconvinced. |i^They obviously wanted to know what grandpa was thinking, so she acted as their spearman, and they blamed her instead
But Liu Lan didn't dare to refute. Today is by no means a holiday for the Xu family, and there is no room for noisy at the dinner table. She knows this very well. Although her grandfather loved her, he attached great importance to the tutoring of the younger generation, which even she did not dare to be proud of. Grandpa would be unhappy if he talked back to his father at the dinner table on a day like this.
Growing up, my grandpa was dignified. Liu Lan admitted that she was always cautious every time she pestered her grandfather or made the old man happy. When she spoke at the dinner table just now, her experience growing up told her that it didn't matter if she said it. Because she was talking about cousin Tianyin. Grandpa always loved him the most and was always very tolerant to him.
The reason, of course, is that my uncle and aunt died early, and my cousin was in poor health. He had been raised in a private nursing home in Hong Kong since he was a child. He had not returned to the Xu family for more than ten years, and his grandfather felt very sorry for him.
Among the three generations of the Xu family, my cousin is different from them. He can make many exceptions outside of the Xu family's rules.
Liu Lan picked up the bowls and chopsticks. Facing his father's scolding, he shrank his neck and lowered his head to eat. The rest of the people also smiled, pretending that the topic had never been brought up before, and ate their own meals.
At this time, the old man put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "What do you want to say? Just say it."
As soon as the Xu family picked up their bowls and chopsticks, they couldn't help being surprised when they heard that the old man actually opened his mouth. They all put down their bowls and chopsticks and sat up straight.
In previous years, on this day, the old man never said a word and left right after eating. Why are you thinking about talking today
The Xu family looked at each other, but no one dared to speak first.
Hua Fang folded her hands and placed them on her lap, giving her a sense of solemnity as a daughter-in-law of the Xu family. Tiptoe secretly touched her husband under the dining table. Xu Yanshao smiled and moved his feet under the dining table to avoid his wife, but his face remained as usual. After the eldest brother passed away, he was the leader of the second generation of the Xu family. In terms of seniority, when the old man asked questions, he should speak first. Even if his wife doesn't remind him, he has to speak first whether he wants to say it or not. Therefore, my wife Hua Fang has worked in the archives office of the Procuratorate for so many years, but her temper has not calmed down at all, and she is still short-tempered.
well!
"Haha, dad, what can we say?" Xu Yanshao laughed, glanced at the three generations of the Xu family at the table, and said with emotion, "If Lan Lan hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have even noticed it. Xu Yanshao These children in our family have all grown up in the blink of an eye. Life flies by so fast!"
Xu Yanshao smiled and his tone was indeed quite emotional. But Liu Zhenghong glanced at Xu Yanshao secretly and cursed in his heart: Old oil man!
Xu Yanshao has always been like this, very skilled in the tact and sophistication of officialdom. In the Xu family, whenever the old man asked questions, according to his seniority, he was always the first to speak, but he never expressed his opinions when he spoke. Instead, he made some remarks and left the rest of the matter to others.
Whether you offend the old man or not is everyone else's business. He would only sit and listen, and then he would speak or comfort the old man after he figured out the old man's preferences. In short, he would not offend the old man.
This is exactly what Liu Zhenghong dislikes about Xu Yanshao. But he never said anything. He was the Xu family's son-in-law, not his son. Just like today, my wife, no matter how gentle she is at home, always comes second to speak.
The order of this speech was not dictated by the old man. Although the Xu family has strict rules, they are not so strict. The old man's treatment of his children is actually very fair and simple. He has the simplest idea of the first generation of leaders who have lived through the difficult years since the founding of the People's Republic of China - whoever contributes more to the country will receive more respect.
Therefore, for so many years, Liu Zhenghong's seat among the second generation of the Xu family was not at the bottom, but always in front of his wife. If it were a family meeting, he would be second only to Xu Yanshao and ahead of his second sister-in-law and his wife.
This was the respect the old man gave him, and it was also why Liu Zhenghong respected the old man in front of him.
But to be honest, the old man's simple thoughts are rare nowadays. For more than half a century after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has been constant intrigue and intrigue in the political arena. Even the second generation of the Xu family, who has a very important position, is inevitably infected with some bureaucracy.
Liu Zhenghong admitted that he himself had it. If not, there will be no success in the officialdom. So over the years, when the old man asked questions, he never answered first. No matter what opinions they have, let the children of the Xu family take the lead. After all, they are the real Xu family.
Therefore, the order of this reply is actually a consensus between the second generation of the Xu family. There is no explicit order, but everyone has acquiesced in the order.
Sure enough, the next person to speak was Xu Yanying. She knew that her husband had never been very dictating the Xu family's household affairs, and the second sister-in-law was a shrewd person. When her second brother spoke, she never followed immediately, for fear of appearing to be too oppressive.
Xu Yanying's heart was like a mirror, so in order not to be left in the cold, she had no choice but to answer the conversation. Moreover, what we are talking about today is Tianyin's marriage. As her aunt, she wants to say, "Dad, these two children have indeed reached the age to talk about marriage. Tianzhe's marriage, the second brother and the second sister-in-law Maybe he has a plan, but I don't worry about it. Even for Tianyin's marriage, my eldest brother and sister-in-law left early, so I couldn't make any plans for him. I originally thought that his temper would come to his senses at some point. But I didn't expect that he I have found the girl I like. I have learned about the girl’s background. Her family background is quite innocent and she is a good person. I just don’t know what dad thinks about this?"
As soon as these words came out, Hua Fang frowned slightly before Mr. Xu spoke.
What does this mean? What Lao Sanjia means is, agree
"Little sister, I also know about that girl's background. This family... haha." Hua Fang smiled and held up the black frame. She is from the Procuratorate, and she is usually more serious. Even when she smiles now, her smile is very light, and her words inevitably have a hint of reminder.
Hua Fang didn't directly say that Xia Shao's family was low-class, although that was what she meant. But she has been the daughter-in-law of the Xu family for twenty-seven years, and she knows that the old man often talks about the workers and peasants as a family, and does not like the Xu family's children to have high vision. Therefore, she had to think carefully about some words she said in her heart.
The whole family understood what Hua Fang meant, so they all looked at Mr. Xu. This matter mainly depends on what the old man meant. Not to mention Xu Tianyin's marriage, even Xu Tianzhe's marriage, you still have to ask the old man for permission in the Xu family.
The old man glanced at his children with a majestic look that made it difficult to read his thoughts, "What then?"
Then
The Xu family looked at each other, what does the old man mean
Not taking a stand? Still want to hear their opinions
Seeing this, Xu Yanying spoke, "That girl's family background is a little low. But I think she is quite good. The most important thing is that Tian Yin likes her."
"There are excellent girls everywhere. The most important thing is that they should be worthy of our Tianyin." Hua Fang carefully considered the words. What he meant in his words was that Xia Shao was not worthy of Xu Tianyin, but in other words, he was also talking about Xia Shao. Shao's background is not worthy of the Xu family.
"Tian Yin likes her, doesn't she deserve it?" Xu Yanying understood what Hua Fang meant, "Second sister-in-law, I think that girl is very good. Children from ordinary families can start from scratch and develop their assets into domestic assets in four years. The top ten are quite capable! I heard that Huaxia Group is in the antiques, auction, real estate and Internet industries. Speaking of the antiques industry, I quite admire this girl. There are several young people nowadays who are good at appraising antiques. Eyesight? These are all witnesses of the national culture. People who can do this industry have a profound background. K"; Not to mention the real estate industry. The country is encouraging the development of the real estate industry. How much of the economic growth is due to the real estate industry? Driven by it? And the Internet industry, isn’t it the Internet era in the future? Huaxia Group is a pioneer in domestic Internet companies. Let me tell you, this kid has ability and vision. Let’s not talk about background, only ability. Among the younger generation, who else’s girl is better than her? "
Liu Lan pouted at the side, why did she say it as if no girl in the world could compare to her? There are so many famous ladies in the capital, who is not better than her
Xu Yanying turned around and saw her daughter curling her lips, and sighed and smiled, "Our Lanlan is not as good as others. She is two years older than others, but her achievements are not comparable at all. She has a good background, but she is squeamish when compared with others. ."
Xu Yanying looked at her daughter with loving eyes, but sighed slightly. But Liu Lan frowned and looked at her mother.
"Mom!" Liu Lan protested in a low voice, not daring to speak loudly to her mother. It sounded like she was being coquettish, but it was definitely a protest in her eyes.
Xu Yanying smiled and looked at her daughter, "Look, isn't this just squeamishness?"
Xu Yanying knew that her daughter was squeamish. She had a good background since she was a child. No matter how strict the old man was on his children and grandchildren, she never suffered. No matter how hard she educates her, and she is surrounded by admiring eyes, she will inevitably develop a somewhat proud temperament. In terms of background, no one can compare with her. Her grandfather is a founding father, her father is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and her mother is also in politics. With comparable abilities, do you want her to work hard to start a business? Xu Yanying knew that was impossible.
Liu Lan was blocked by her mother and couldn't say a word. There was anger in her eyes, but she didn't dare to get angry on this occasion. So when she was hurt internally, she turned to look at Xu Tianzhe, gently pulled the corner of his clothes, and whispered: "Cousin , my mother said to me."
Xu Tianzhe smiled and was polite. His face showed no opinion on Xu Tianyin's marriage. It was as if this was a matter between elders and he did not express any opinions. But when he saw his cousin asking for help with a grimace, he smiled and nodded instead of helping her, "She's quite squeamish."
Liu Lan suddenly stared, then looked aggrieved, which made the Xu family smile. The two of them, brother and sister, have been close friends since childhood, so this is naturally a joke between the younger generations.
Xu Yanying sighed. The more he looked at his daughter, the more she looked like a child who had not grown up. But at this time, he was talking about Xu Tianyin's marriage, so he ignored her and continued: "The future of the country still belongs to young people, and the economic development is to a great extent." The first is the development of the enterprise. Not to mention those entrepreneurs of the older generation, among the younger generation, there is no one more accomplished than Huaxia Group. Our Xu family marries the most accomplished entrepreneur of the younger generation. It is not an insult to the family, right? ? That child Tianyin has a cold temperament, but he is affectionate. I think the person he likes must be a good child. As long as he is a filial and well-educated child, I think it is worth meeting him. "
Speaking of Xu Tianyin, Xu Yanying smiled. The crow's feet at the corners of his eyes looked like the accumulation of time, loving and peaceful.
Hua Fang couldn't help but frown when she heard Xu Yanying's statement. She knew that although Xu Yanying had a gentle temperament, he was by no means a soft persimmon on key issues. After all, she is from the Xu family.
Xu Yanying has a good relationship with her eldest brother and sister, so she loves Xu Tianyin especially, which is not surprising to Hua Fang. But she was determined to oppose this marriage. No matter how nice Ren Xu Yanying said it, it could not change the fact.
"Little sister, I understand what you are saying. How can I look down on someone of his origin?" Hua Fang smiled. Although she did look down on him, she couldn't say it so straightforwardly. If you want to object to that person coming in, without mentioning her origin, there is one thing that can make the Xu family collectively object, "I don't think it's appropriate because I heard something. I wonder if you heard about it?"
Xu Yanying looked at her, "What did Second Sister-in-law hear?"
Hua Fang smiled, as if this was really funny, and glanced at the table before saying, "When I asked about this girl's background, I also heard something. I heard that she was very popular in Hong Kong and Qinghai Province. Famous, what is... a Feng Shui master?"
"Pfft!" Sure enough, when Xu Yanshao and Liu Zhenghong were both stunned and Xu Yanying frowned, Liu Lan couldn't help laughing. But she immediately covered her mouth under her father's stern gaze and went to see Xu Tianzhe.
Xu Tianzhe still smiled humbly, did not express his position, and let the elders talk about it. The younger generation's gesture was very sufficient.
Xia Shao has the identity of a Feng Shui master, how could the Xu family not have heard of it? As early as the day of Xu Tianyin's proposal, Xia Shao's information was already in the Xu family as soon as the incident came to light.
Feng Shui master, this is not just a matter of family size.
"With this status, is it too sensitive to marry into the Xu family?" Hua Fang asked with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
This is also the biggest reason for her opposition.
She knew that with the old man's love for Xu Tianyin, it was no one else's turn to comment on his marriage. However, she must resolutely oppose it, even if it is not for the sake of the Xu family's face, it must be for the sake of her son's future.
How could a Feng Shui master, who sounds like a charlatan, marry into the Xu family? How sensitive is this identity? Political struggles are characterized by intrigues and intrigues, and this identity can easily be used by political opponents to make a fuss. The big hat of feudal superstition is thrown off. Does the Xu family, the founding father's family, still want to lose their face
The Xu family was a political family, and their descendants were all involved in politics. Only Xu Tianyin, a misfit, entered the military world alone. Generals in the military region pay attention to military literacy, which is different from officials in the political arena. In official circles, you should not get involved in these sensitive matters! It's true that Tianyin hasn't been in the Xu family since he was a child, and he doesn't have much relationship with the family. He also messes around with marriage matters. Don’t you know how to think about your brothers and sisters
Even if the old man dotes on Xu Tianyin, there must be a limit. It is necessary to remind the old man about this. After all, there is not only one Xu Tianyin among the three generations of the Xu family. Moreover, the Xu family is a political family, and Xu Tianyin is in the military area. Doesn't this political family have to be inherited by Xu Tianzhe in the end
Therefore, it is necessary to consider Tianzhe's political future.
Xu Yanying didn't know what to say for a moment, and the family looked at the old man again.
The old man was drinking tea from his teacup, but he still didn't seem to want to express his opinion.
Hua Fang was a little anxious. She really didn't understand what the old man was thinking. It was rare to talk about this matter today, so she had to find out what the old man was thinking. So she smiled and said, "Dad, we know you love Tianyin, and we also love him." He. It’s not that we don’t care so much about family status, we just think that Tianyin’s temperament is suitable for finding a girl with a gentler temperament. Even if he doesn’t like some ladies from official families in the capital, some from military families are also suitable. In this way First of all, the experience is similar, and the two children have a common language together. We thought, no matter what, we are better than this businessman, right?"
Xu Yanying frowned and said, "Second sister-in-law, what do you mean, do you want to be a matchmaker for Tianyin? I won't say whether he likes it or not. I just said that you have found the right one. Who will tell him? You?"
Hua Fang suddenly suffocated and was slightly confused.
She was thinking about her son, but she forgot that Xu Tianyin's child was different from other juniors. To be honest, she, as an aunt, was afraid of sitting with him.
Let her speak? She wouldn't dare!
So this matter has to be decided by the old man! The old man didn't like that girl, so everything was solved!
"Tian Yin, this child, has been suffering since he was a child. I thought he didn't know whether he could get married in this life. Isn't it good now? He has fallen in love with someone... "
"Little sister, I'm talking about the girl's identity..."
"You can find a solution to the identity issue! Whether it's a big or small matter, it all depends on how the second sister-in-law takes it. In fact, it's not as serious as you think."
"Why is it not serious? The Qin and Jiang factions are currently fighting fiercely. The Xu family has always been considered to be close to the Qin faction, so it is better at this time. Who can guarantee that this matter will not be used as a handle, and who can take a bite? "
"That's easy to handle! Then, can't we wait until the factional dispute is settled and then admit the girl to the outside world? In this case, no one will dare to bite the Xu family, right? Who dares to take a bite and try?"
"..." Hua Fang was suffocated again, unable to speak.
There were only two women at the table talking to each other, while the men lowered their heads and were deep in thought, but did not express their opinions. It seems that women should worry about the marriage of younger generations.
"Second sister-in-law, can you not let Tianyin take this road of marriage? I just think that he can have a good family, marry a good girl he likes, and live a stable life. Let the eldest brother and sister-in-law, Quan Xia, be able to shut up their knowledge. It's up to my eyes." Xu Yanying's face darkened rarely.
Hua Fang hurried to see the old man, feeling a little annoyed that Xu Yanying was playing the emotional card at this time. You know, the old man has not expressed his position yet, and her words are likely to make him soft-hearted.
So, in a hurry, Hua Fang said: "Little sister, how do you know that Tianyin doesn't like other girls? Besides, in a big family, how can we not make some sacrifices?"
"boom!"
As soon as Xu Yanying finished speaking, before she could frown, she heard a heavy sound.
Xu Yanshao and Xu Yanying were both startled, and then they realized that the voice came from the old man.
The people at the table looked up and saw the old man placing the teacup in his hand heavily on the table. He raised his eyes majestically and looked at his second daughter-in-law. His eyes were stern and slightly angry. He patted the table and said, "He is three years old! Parents." When he died, he had already made sacrifices for the Xu family in dealing with the murderer!"
Hua Fang turned pale and quickly lowered her head, secretly thinking that she had said the wrong thing just now in a hurry.
Xu Yanshao frowned and looked at his wife. Xu Tianzhe's smile that he wore all the time also faded away, and even Liu Lan, who was enjoying watching the show, kept silent and lowered his head, not daring to raise his eyes.
"Which of you can send your children to recuperate for ten years and then send them abroad to perform missions for ten years?" Mr. Xu glanced at his children and spoke sternly, "In terms of sacrifices and contributions to the country, , none of you are as good as you! Don’t think you are the Xu family!"
The group of people lowered their heads, and no one dared to raise their eyes. Even Xu Yanshao, who had always been smooth and sophisticated, did not dare to persuade the old man to calm down at this time.
"Do you know why the seats at home are arranged like this? Do you want me to bring out the files on Tianyin's missions abroad for you to see! Do you want you to study and study how much benefit the successful execution of these missions will bring to the country?" Xu The old man got really angry, stood up, took the empty chair on his right, and placed it heavily on the first chair on his left! The voice was like a bell, "The military rank on his shoulders was exchanged for his life! How do you still want him to sacrifice? Only when he died for the country is he finished? Brother! Tell me, what did you pay for peace!"
The Xu family was immediately shocked. The old man took Xu Tianyin's chair, but the chair was moved from the top of the third generation of children to the place on the left where the second generation elders were sitting, and was placed below the old man. He has a higher status than his uncle Xu Yanshao!
What this means is self-evident.
Hua Fang turned pale at first, but at this time, no one dared to speak.
When Xu Yanshao was called, he sat up straight and lowered his eyes. He was over fifty years old and a member of the Central Committee of the Republic. In front of his father, he still looked like a student answering questions in class. "Peace is bought with blood and sacrifice." ."
This scene may seem a bit funny, but Xu Yanshao couldn't laugh it off. The three brothers and sisters, except for the eldest brother, have not experienced the war years, but they were born when the country was just founded. Living conditions were very poor at that time. Even if we lived in this red wall, the meals during the holidays were only four dishes and one soup. Before eating every day, their father would tell them stories about the war years, telling them that peace was bought with blood and sacrifice, and political power emerged from the barrel of a gun.
"Political power comes from under the barrel of a gun! In peacetime, people also have to make sacrifices! Your generation is enjoying the country won by our ancestors, and you are not satisfied! You are enjoying a stable life in the capital, playing with your pen, and just asking others to go. Sacrifice? Are these still my Xu family members?!" Mr. Xu angrily scolded.
Hua Fang lowered her head, her face turned from pale to red, "Dad, I was wrong."
The old man looked at his daughter-in-law, his anger not diminishing at all, "Do you think others have a low status? My old man is from a farmer! You are marrying a farmer's son! Do you even dislike me? Do you dislike Yan Shao too?"
Hua Fang blushed so much that she almost bled.
"Go back and ask your parents! Go back three generations and see if your Hua family is from a farming background! I think you are so noble that you don't even know what your last name is!"
No matter how Hua Fang lowered her head, the room was quiet, not even the sound of breathing.
The old man stood, leaned on his cane, knocked on the ground, and looked at his children and grandchildren, "Are Feng Shui masters funny? Have you read "The Book of Changes"? Can you understand it? Domestic universities have started to offer elective courses on Feng Shui, and even foreign countries have started to do so. We have paid attention to this knowledge, but you people are still laughing at the people who inherit the culture of your own country? Shame on you! Do you still want to wait until others have thoroughly studied our own culture and laugh at us like we did before? "
The old man looked at his daughter-in-law first, then glared at Liu Lan. Liu Lan lowered her head. When she heard the old man calling her, she almost jumped out of her chair and trembled with fear.
"Does your university offer an elective course on Feng Shui? Go and sign it up for me! Get to know the country's culture! Don't laugh every time I say it! Why are you laughing? You are a college student and you are still so ignorant!"
Liu Lan opened her mouth, more surprised than aggrieved at the moment. She wanted to say that the school seemed to have this elective course, but now that school has started, all registrations for this semester’s courses have long been completed...
But before she spoke, Xu Kangguo turned around, abandoned the table of children and grandchildren, and left.
Until the old man disappeared, the dining table was still quiet.
Both families were so reprimanded that they were so confused that they couldn't react for a moment.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xu Yanying turned around and looked at each other with her husband Liu Zhenghong. The couple were doing better, after all, the old man was not angry at them.
Xu Yanshao also raised his head. He did not look at his wife, but looked in the direction where the old man was walking away, frowning slightly in thought - is the old man really angry today or does he have an ulterior motive
He didn't speak much from beginning to end, so he could see the old man's expression clearly. The old man didn't have much reaction before, but his anger suddenly broke out. Every reprimand was filled with refutation. It sounded like the old man didn't care about the family differences or the girl's status as a Feng Shui master.
They all know about the girl, and it is easy for the old man to find out.
Could it be that the old man had known the identity and background of the girl for a long time, and today he deliberately asked his children to express their opinions. In fact, he just wanted to see who agreed and who disagreed, and then reprimanded the children who objected
hiss!
If this is really the case, that means that the old man agreed in his heart that the girl should enter the Xu family
The Xu family members speculated and remained silent, but Xu Kangguo walked slowly back to his residence with a cane.
The residence within the red wall is an ancient building with great history and culture, but the study room is equipped with many modern facilities. The old man sat behind the desk. There was a computer on the desk.
The video was placed on the desktop. The old man opened it and looked at the proposal scene. The picture was frozen in a certain moment.
At that moment, the man raised his head and looked at the girl, his eyebrows were warmed by the brilliant lights, his eyes were soft, and he smiled happily.
The old man looked at him with kind eyes. Then he opened the drawer and took out a black and white photo. He turned the photo over and faced the screen, as if to let the couple in the photo see their son's smile.
Immediately, the old man stood up, looked out the window with his hands behind his hands, and looked past the towering red wall towards the direction of the Martyrs Cemetery.
…
At this time, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin had already left the Martyrs Cemetery. They bought vegetables on their way back to the villa. At noon that day, Xia Shao was the one cooking.
Xu Tianyin always eats more when she cooks. In just two days, there is a lot of warmth in this house.
After lunch, the two sat on the sofa and watched TV to rest. Xia Shao said, "There will be a charity auction tomorrow."
Her eyes were a little worried. She didn't know it before, but she found out today that tomorrow is the death anniversary of Xu Tianyin's parents. But the date for the auction was set half a year ago, and the invitations had already been sent out.
"I'll go with you." Xu Tianyin held Xia Shao's hand, put his thumb on the ring she was wearing, and looked at her, "They will be happy that I accompany you."
Xia Shao was stunned, knowing that they he was referring to were his parents.
Xia Shao smiled slightly and found that Xu Tianyin's hands were still a little cold when he mentioned his parents, but he didn't break out in a cold sweat, and his expression was much warmer than before.
"Okay." Xia Shao smiled and nodded. She didn't ask what the Xu family's reaction would be if Xu Tianyin accompanied her to attend the charity auction tomorrow. She only cared that the man in front of her could get out of the shadow of childhood and that he was happy. As for the Xu family, the old man must also understand. Xia Shao hasn't seen the other people yet, so she doesn't worry about the people she hasn't seen yet.
…
October 2nd, the National Day has just passed, but it is still a grand day.
On this day, Huaxia Auction Company, Aida Real Estate Company, Huaxia Entertainment Media Company, and Huayuan Private Club under the Huaxia Group held their settling ceremony in the capital! Together with Fu Ruixiang Antique Shop, we invite celebrities from all walks of life to hold a charity auction!
Six months ago, when Huaxia Group sent out invitations, the celebrities who attended came because of Huaxia Group's reputation in shopping malls in recent years and Xia Shao's status as a Feng Shui master.
Half a year later, people came with another purpose - to confirm a piece of news.
More than half a month ago, a video of a proposal at the opening ceremony of Beijing University exploded on the Internet and caused an uproar in the upper class.
It is said that the young major general who proposed marriage is the direct grandson of the founding father of the Republic of China, Xu Kangguo!
When the news came out, celebrities from all over the country who came to support the charity auction were shocked, but the business CEOs in Qing Province were all calm.
Is this very new news? We knew about this as early as when General Xu was the commander of the Provincial Military Region in Qing Province. It’s just that we didn’t spread the word outside!
But when it came out at this time, it still had a great influence. I heard that the bosses of Qing Province had known about this for a long time, and others couldn't help but inquire a lot. However, because what happened in the police station involved the subsequent changes in the political situation of Qing Province, no one who was not stupid would tell anyone about it. Most of them just mentioned that Xu Tianyin attended to deliver flowers on the night when Huaxia Auction Company settled in Qing Province, which aroused countless shocks.
Everyone knows that there are only two of the three generations of Xu family. But the one who often appears in everyone's sight is Xu Tianzhe, the youngest mayor of the Republic, a humble man with an unlimited future.
As for Xu Tianyin, many people only heard of his name but never saw him. Even in the circle of young masters and daughters in the capital, there are very few people who have seen him. It was only when he went to serve in the Qing Province Military Region that some news came out that he had been on missions abroad and rarely returned home. Now he was awarded the title for his meritorious service and after three years of local experience, he was transferred back to the Beijing Military Region to take charge of the 38th Group Army in Beijing and hold military power.
It is said that Major General Xu has a very cold temperament and never appeared in social situations in political and business circles when he was in the Qing Province Military Region. The only time he attended was at the inauguration ceremony of the auction company under the Huaxia Group.
Today is another inauguration ceremony for a company under the Huaxia Group. Will he come
Although there are many people speculating, the Xu family has not expressed its position on this proposal, which means that the Xu family may not recognize Xia Shao, their grandson-in-law. This is the capital after all, and if Xu Tianyin is coming, the attitude of the Xu family must be taken into account.
But I didn't expect that he really came!
At nine o'clock in the morning, in front of the majestic building of the Huaxia Group's Beijing branch, Xia Shao, the chairman, attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony dressed up. When she appeared, she was holding a man's arm.
The two walked to the door on the red carpet from the building. The girl was wearing an elegant light green cheongsam, with snow-white peony blossoms blooming. She walked indifferently, as if midsummer had passed, and she was waiting for the tranquility of autumn. There was a slight smile on her lips, and her hair, which was pulled up by a yellowish fox jade hairpin, framed her jade-like cheeks. Those who saw her in the sunshine could not help but hold their breath. She wore a transparent aqua bracelet on her wrist, and held an arm dressed in military green.
The owner of the arm is tall and handsome, with a straight military uniform and golden epaulettes that make people dizzy. What makes people even more afraid to look at him is the man's face, his stern and sharp facial features. He is extremely handsome, but also extremely cold. His lips are pursed like a thin knife, and his breath is as cold as a lone wolf.
In a daze, some people felt that they had seen the wrong time. This modern and majestic building seems to have changed from the era of warlord rule. Stepping on the red carpet, a newlywed couple holding a wedding walked out.
Except for Xia Shao, who was dressed plainly.
But even so, the people present felt it. The two came out of the building. Within a short distance, Xu Tianyin was already swearing ownership.
Otherwise, today's private scene would not be suitable for attending in military uniform. But Xu Tianyin was clearly telling the world about his identity, not allowing anyone to guess, and clearly told the celebrities and media reporters present today that he was Xu Tianyin, the direct grandson of the Xu family, the man who proposed to Xia Shao.
Xia Shao glanced at the man next to her with a subtle smile. How could she not understand what he was thinking? Thanks to him, she was immersed in all kinds of surging eyes and atmosphere throughout the ribbon-cutting process. It is estimated that the ribbon-cutting will be over in a while, and today she will be surrounded by more enthusiastic greetings than before.
Today's charity auction will be held in the afternoon. After the ribbon-cutting in the morning, guests will be invited to visit the exhibition hall. The collections on display today are all the collections that will be auctioned in the afternoon. The collections on display are not only from Fu Ruixiang Antiques, but also from other antique guilds.
At noon, Huaxia Group hosted a banquet for guests attending today's charity auction. There was a charity auction in the afternoon and a celebration dance in the evening.
Today is a busy day with a full schedule.
As soon as the ribbon-cutting was over, as Xia Shao expected, everyone gathered around to congratulate him enthusiastically, and there were endless compliments. But before Xia Shao had greeted all the guests, an employee came over from behind and whispered something in Xia Shao's ear.
Xia Shao was stunned for a moment, then apologized to the guests and asked the staff to lead the guests to the exhibition hall to view the antique collection. She and Xu Tianyin took the elevator and went to the reception room.
In the reception room, a handsome man wearing a white Tang shirt was looking out the window with his hands behind his hands. His eyes fell on the bottom of the building. He had obviously just watched the ribbon-cutting ceremony here.
When Xia Shao pushed the door open and came in, the man turned around, looked at Xia Shao with a smile on his slightly raised eyes, and turned his eyes to Xu Tianyin.
Well, I finally had a little more otz today.
