There is always a song that will remind you of the past, touch your heart, and trigger your memories. Whether you admit it or not, whether you are hard on the outside or soft on the inside, the facts are there and have never changed.
From early morning till late evening, after more than ten hours, Liu Xun and others finally arrived in the capital. The engagement ceremony was tomorrow, so the convoy rushed to the Liu family compound. Di Yi and Mu Feiyan had already arrived and were chatting with Liu Shizong in the living room.
Although the Liu family is not a noble family, there are many villas around them, so the 800 people in the reinforcement camp will not be homeless on the streets! When Liu Xun and others came to the living room, Liu Shizong began to tell him what he needed to pay attention to tomorrow.
"Xun'er, tomorrow's engagement ceremony should be held at our Liu family, but our Liu family can't accommodate so many guests, so we can only borrow the ancient martial arts field of the Yang family!"
Liu Xun nodded after Liu Shizong finished speaking. He had been to the Yang family and had seen the ancient martial arts arena. It could be said to be the most complete arena preserved from ancient times to the present! It was very large, comparable to the size of dozens of squares.
"Also, the aristocratic families take this engagement very seriously. After all, this is a special period. The alliance between the aristocratic families and the Liu family will also promote the relationship between other aristocratic families! In short, there must not be any mistakes tomorrow. Do you understand what I mean?" Liu Shizong looked at Liu Xun and said.
"Don't worry, Fourth Grandpa. Xun'er understands." Liu Xun took a deep breath. He knew that this engagement was nothing more than a farce between the interests of the aristocratic families!
The Liu family and the Yang family have a very good relationship. Because of Liu Xun, the Zhang family is also tied to the Yang family. If Liu Xun and Wang Kexin's engagement is successful, the Wang family will also be tied to the Zhang and Yang families.
If three of the nine great families gather together, plus the Liu family, the other families will definitely choose them as the leaders. The leader here does not mean who is the boss, but the commander chosen to deal with future battles.
Therefore, if something unexpected happened, not only would there be a rift between the Liu and Wang families, but it would also cause dissatisfaction among other families towards the Liu family! This would also be extremely disadvantageous for future battles.
It is clear why Cheng Guoli chose to make the matter public at the engagement ceremony, because in this way, even if the Wang family did not want to deal with it, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with it.
After talking about engagement again, Liu Xun and the others finished their meal and went back to their room to sleep.
In the early morning, before daybreak, the Liu family drove a row of vehicles towards the Yang family. Due to the distance, when they arrived, the Wang family had already arrived.
The rules of the family are very strict. Before the ceremony begins, men and women are not allowed to meet each other. It is much more cautious than ordinary people's marriage. The engagement ceremony was held at ten o'clock in the morning. It was already seven o'clock and the guests were arriving slowly.
"Damn, brother, this aristocratic family is different. It's such a big place, but it's not cold at all, it's just like spring!" Dapeng followed behind Liu Xun, looking at the Yang family's buildings.
"This is the nano air conditioning technology used, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of air conditioners working at the same time. Do you think it can still be cold?" Wang Yikai looked at the open area. You know, this is an open-air area and there are no measures to maintain the temperature. Even if nano air conditioning technology is used, the cost... is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"This amount alone must be worth at least several million, right?" the madman licked his cracked lips and spoke.
"Are you talking about US dollars?" Wang Yikai smiled at the madman, ignoring the shocked expressions of Dapeng and others, and continued: "Even if it is US dollars, in a place like this, it can still maintain such a temperature. Millions of US dollars can only last for a few minutes."
"Haha, you are worthy of being the person who controls the country's economic lifeline. Even an engagement costs hundreds of billions." The madman laughed dryly a few times, his expression very unnatural.
"This is just what you know. There are things you don't know! Just wait and see at the engagement party! The food will be something you have never seen before." Liu Zhang was relatively indifferent.
"It's only a few hundred billion. The taxes paid across the country in a year are more than millions of billion." Liu Xun coughed lightly a few times. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little uncomfortable these days.
"Oh, today's protagonist is here?" Just then, Ye Tian and Zhang Shaoze came over. Ye Tian had arrived a long time ago, and the Zhang family was not far from here.
"Uh... just arrived." Liu Xun pointed at Dapeng and others around him and introduced them. It would have been fine if he hadn't introduced them, but after introducing them, he suddenly found that Diyi had disappeared.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Shaoze." Zhang Shaoze has obviously changed a lot. At least he is not as arrogant as before. He gestured to Dapeng and others.
After shaking hands with Dapeng and others, Zhang Shaoze smiled apologetically at Liu Xun and said, "I was wrong before. I apologize to you today. I hope you can let bygones be bygones."
"What are you saying, cousin? We are a family after all." Although Liu Xun used to be very annoyed with Zhang Shaoze, he doesn't feel anything about it now. After all, no one is perfect and everyone has some silly moments.
"Brother, you have a cousin? Do you have a cousin or something? Introduce one to me." The madman made a joke when he heard Liu Xun calling Zhang Shaoze cousin.
"Yes, but my sister may not like you." Before Liu Xun could speak, Zhang Shaoze said with a smile. Aristocratic families and secular families cannot marry each other. Zhang Shaoze definitely knew this, but he also knew that the madman was joking, so he answered like this.
"Oh, how sad." The madman shook his head and looked sad.
"Okay, stop making trouble! Liu Xun, the direct descendants of the other families are waiting there, why don't you go over and say hello?" Ye Tian put his hands in his trouser pockets and said softly.
"Let's go. By the way, where is Zitong? Why can't I see him?" Liu Xun asked Dapeng and others to do as they pleased, while he, Ye Tian and Zhang Shaoze walked towards the direct descendants of other families.
"Uh... I was pulled out by Zhang Tianfang. I don't know why." Ye Tian picked up a bottle of red wine on the banquet table, opened it and started drinking.
"Zhang Tianfang?" Liu Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, remembering what Yang Zitong had told him. If he remembered correctly, Yang Zitong should have had an affair with Zhang Tianfang's sister...
"By the way, where is your sister?" Liu Xun thought of Ye Huiling and asked casually, but it would have been better if he hadn't asked. This question immediately aroused Ye Tian's hostility.
"Liu Xun, don't try to get my sister's attention. In this way, we are still friends! If you dare to get my sister's attention, we will immediately become enemies!"
"..." Liu Xun was speechless. He was just asking. Isn't this basic etiquette? But he was too lazy to argue with Ye Tian. After all, if such words were heard by someone with ulterior motives, it would have a bad influence. (To be continued)
