Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

  Chapter name: Chapter 163 Engagement (Part 2) unfinished

   In the banquet hall, facing the gazes of important officials from the military, political, and business circles, Xia Zhiyuan and his wife stepped onto the stage. －》

The flowers were high on the stage, and the couple stood together behind the gilded red sandalwood podium, watching the golden jade and the crowds in the banquet hall of the State Hotel, nervous, emotional, and trance, all kinds of emotions were in their hearts. Unspeakable complexity.

  Daughter stood quietly under the stage. In the past, they watched her standing on the stage on the spot or on TV, facing the eyes of the world. Tonight, she stood there and looked at them.

In a daze, the experience of these years is surging in my heart. The division, the establishment of the Huaxia Group, and the family moved to Taoyuan District. From then on, I watched my daughter create one legend after another, walked through glory, walked through doubts, and too many thoughts. The course has been several lifetimes in the past few years. [

  Now standing here, the place with the highest treatment in the country, facing the eyes of important officials from all walks of life, Xia Zhiyuan is calm at the moment, and when he speaks, his voice is surprisingly calm.

"Dear guests, thank you for coming tonight to congratulate the little **** her engagement. Although it is just an engagement, as parents, we are also very emotional. I never thought that she dared to enter the mall alone when she was fifteen, but she did. I did not think about it. She will decide her life’s major events at the age of 20, but she has decided. Over the years, many people envy us, but in fact we also have distress. Parents in the world, regardless of high or low, worry about their children, and worry about their children. Yes. Back then, we worried that she would encounter setbacks in the mall. She always used her success again and again to tell us that her decision was correct. Now, we are also worried about her premature deciding on major marriage issues and what she will encounter in the future There will also be more wind and rain than children who get married late. But this time, we have no way to know whether her decision is correct. We can only bless and use the most sincere blessings from parents under the world to their children, and hope that they will be more happy in the future and less wind and rain. , Join hands once, spend a lifetime together."

  Xia Zhiyuan turned his head with emotion and looked down the stage. Xia Shao turned her head, with a smile on her face, and her smiling eyes were slightly sparkling. She knew that her age was a little younger for her parents after all. When most of her peers were still in college, she decided on her marriage, and she was still a family like the Xu family. They were worried, but they could only bless. .

  Xia Zhiyuan is a loyal and honest man. He has always said much to his wife and daughter. This is the first time Xia Shao has heard of this tonight. Regarding whether the people in the audience would think that there was a scene in these remarks, Xia Shao knew that his father was telling the truth.

This is enough.

  No need for others to understand.

  The audience still burst into enthusiastic applause, even if it is because of the intention of supporting the audience, the applause is also necessary.

  The applause fell, Xia Zhiyuan looked at his wife, smiled and squeezed her hand behind the podium. The husband and wife have been in communication for more than 20 years, and no language is needed to communicate, and the other person can understand with one look.

  Don’t be nervous, the old man has seen it all, and are you afraid of seeing these people?

  Li Juan smiled at her husband. She is wearing a tailor-designed beige dress tonight, with high-stranded hair, pearl earrings and accessories, which is gentle and dignified. Over the years, Xu is the reason for the Five Elements Fengshui Bureau deployed in the house. Li Juan not only feels that her body looks like she was young, but her dull complexion has gradually become fairer. Especially her body is well maintained, she has always been exquisite, standing next to her husband, except for a shy smile, she can't tell that the Xia family was still an ordinary family five years ago.

"Everything I want to say, my husband told me." Li Juan still referred to her husband as her husband for the first time, and she couldn't help but blush, but perhaps it was her daughter's words that worked in the afternoon, or what her husband said just now. It aroused some emotions in her heart. After a smile, she went on to say, "I don't have much to say, but as a mother, I have something to tell my daughter."

  Li Juan looked at the audience, Xia Shao looked back and smiled, her eyes encouraging.

Li Juan was a little embarrassed, but she still said, "When my mother got married, my maiden family was gone, and there were some things I could not listen to your grandma's instructions. But fortunately, I can tell you now. After getting married, you must honor your elders and be a man. Good wife."

  The words are simple, but they are passed down from generation to generation between mother and daughter. Before Li Juan finished speaking, her eye circles were red. She didn't know if she was in love with the scene, but she remembered the hardships and hardships of her youth.

  Xia Shao’s eye circles were also a little red, but when the atmosphere was quiet, she couldn’t help but smiled and said, “Mom, tonight is an engagement, not a marriage.”

  The beautiful atmosphere was broken, Li Juan suddenly made a big blush, and stared at her daughter with anger-is there anyone who demolished her mother's desk like this? This kid! She just didn't hear her mother's instructions when she got married. After getting married, she gave birth to a daughter and didn't let her worry about it. She finally waited tonight, whether she was engaged or married, and she enjoyed it. The child actually demolished her desk.

   stunned, Li Juan laughed, and the guests in the banquet hall were reminded by Xia Shao's words and quickly applauded.

  The couple walked off the stage in applause. After that, Father Xu Kangguo came to the stage to give a speech at the end of the ceremony, and then announced the start of the banquet.

The dishes in the National Hotel are unique, ranging from eight major cuisines to classic dishes from all over the world. Needless to say, the quality of the banquet dishes is only a matter for the guests. A toast to the guests and thank you. [

  Before the toast, Xia Shao needs to go back to the room and change into a dress. The stylist was waiting for Xia Shao in the room. Xu Tianyin didn't need to be accompanied by him, but since the man held Xia Shao's hand at the end of the red carpet, he refused to let go, and followed her all the way out of the banquet hall to the door of the room.

  Xia Shao walked all the way and smiled all the way. Xu Tianyin didn't know what she was laughing at, so he only held her hand and walked beside him. The more she smiled, the more he looked at her, his eyes were dark and his eyes were silent.

  Until he walked to the door of the room, Xia Shao couldn't help it. "Your Excellency, the youngest general of the Republic, let people know that you are so clingy to your fiancee. What can you do about your future image?"

   Xu Tianyin’s answer to her was to hug her, as if she was not embracing her at the end of the red carpet, and now she wants to continue. A waiter walked far away in the corridor, Xu Tianyin didn't care, and directly buried his face in Xia Shao's neck and rubbed it.

  Xia Shao was itchy by him, and when he saw someone coming, his cheeks blushed, and Xu Tianyin's cheeks blushed, "I'm going to change into a dress. You are not allowed to come in."

   After all, Xia Shao knocked on the door with a smile, glared at the man who wanted to follow when he entered, and when he was stunned, he shut him outside. In order to change the dress and go back to the banquet hall as quickly as possible, Xia Shao had no choice but to do so. If someone is in the house, it may be possible to linger.

   Outside the door, Xu Tianyin looked at the closed door, turned around and saw a waiter approaching, and said: "Room card."

  The waiter was taken aback, and said, "General Xu is going to enter the room? I will go down and make arrangements right away. However, I am here to spread a message. A guest who does not have a wedding invitation is outside the hotel and asks to see you."

   "No." Xu Tianyin's expression on his face, he refused without even being stunned.

  "General Xu, this guest is a lady, she said, her last name is cold." said the waiter. The National Hotel is not an ordinary high-class dance party. People of ordinary status can't come in, no one is invited, and no one comes. People like this Ms. Leng are rare, because she asked to see Xu Tianyin by name, and the receptionist saw her extraordinary temperament, so they agreed to ask questions.

   "No see." Unexpectedly, Xu Tianyin still said the same, but this time his voice became colder.

  The waiter was shocked, but was full of surprise, and the heart really told the lady Leng to say it right.

"General Xu, Ms. Leng said, I guess you won't see her. So, entrust us to hand this note to you. She said it has something to do with you and Miss Xia." The strips were scooped out and handed to Xu Tianyin.

   Xu Tianyin was slightly startled, his eyes fell on the note, and then he took it.

   Seeing him take it, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief, and while secretly telling the magic of the lady Leng, he retreated and helped Xu Tianyin open the door.

  Xu Tianyin stood in the corridor and opened the note.

  This note is just a piece of memo paper, folded neatly. After opening, only eight words were written on it.

   Xu Tianyin’s breath suddenly suffocated. In the bright corridor, only the man’s stiff back and the gradually white fingertips...

  When Xia Shao came out of the room, she saw Xu Tianyin with her back facing the door, with her head down, standing at the door like being abandoned, looking at her back, so pitiful. Xia Shao couldn't help but smile, when has this man been so obedient? She said she was going to change her dress. With his temperament, shouldn't she find a way to get in? Fortunately, she was afraid that he would come in and cleaned up as quickly as possible.

  "Brother?" Xia Shao called out from behind with a smile.

   Xu Tianyin did not respond.

  Xia Shao smiled more intensely, changed her words, "Fiance?"[

  The man still did not respond.

  Xia Shao was stunned, walked to Xu Tianyin's side, and reached out to take his arm. Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched Xu Tianyin, he suddenly shocked, as if he had just recovered from his senses, and turned his head suddenly. Xia Shao was taken aback, before he could see clearly, the man spread his arms and hugged her in his arms. He hugged extremely tightly, his big palms rubbed deeply behind her, his strength was deep and heavy, and his face was buried in her neck for a long time without moving.

  Xia Shao was stunned, "Brother, what's the matter?"

  Xu Tianyin’s mood is not right, he will not be suffocated by her after being locked outside the door for five minutes.

"Brother?" Xia Shao asked tentatively, feeling the man's hot breath in the neck, his mood fluctuated so intensely, except when he mentioned his parents, and when he fell out with Xu Yanshao's family. Through such a wounded emotion. This emotion made Xia Shao a little uneasy, "What happened?"

  Perhaps feeling her anxiety, the man's body was slightly stiff, then he shook his head, lifted his face from her neck, and breathed the air in the corridor.

  The lights in the corridor were warm yellow, shining warmly, but the man’s eyes were bloodshot. He still hugged the woman and prevented her from seeing it until he took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, his expression was clear. Then he shook his head and said, "It's okay, go back to the banquet hall."

  His voice was as cold as usual, but Xia Shao's eyes stayed on his face, not quite convinced, "Really all right?"

   "It's okay." The Buddha was afraid that she would not believe it, so he focused on her changing red dress.

  At this time, a service staff walked over from the banquet hall, and when they saw the two men, they said, “General Xu, Miss Xia, it’s time to toast the guests.”

   "Okay, I see." Xia Shao replied, then looked at Xu Tianyin and took his hand. Xu Tianyin's fingers stiffened slightly, but they quickly returned to normal, and Xia Shao, who was so close to focusing his attention on his face, didn't notice, "Let's go then."

  Xia Shao didn't believe that Xu Tianyin was okay. She always felt that he was in a bad mood. The guests were still waiting. After the toast, there were some gifts to receive. There were too many things. She planned to finish tonight and ask him carefully when she went back.

  The two held hands, as when they left, and when they returned to the banquet hall again, the atmosphere of the banquet was strong.

  Tonight is not a wedding. Xia Shao did not wear the traditional wedding dress. He only wore a decent red dress. He also changed his hair accessories and neckwear. It was still amazing when he entered the door. Xia Shao smiled, standing beside Xu Tianyin with a smile, just as he eased his loneliness and indifference, seeing that he was a natural pair of Bi puppets.

  Before the toast, Xu Kangguo wanted to come up on stage to say something more. Just as he came on stage, Xia Shao smiled and winked at the person behind, and the service staff respectfully handed over two letter papers. The words were clearly written on it, and the guests were taken aback, not knowing what was going on.

  Xu Kangguo was also stunned on the stage, and forgot to talk about the prepared speech.

  This is not a previously stated procedure.

  Xia Shao smiled and handed out the letter paper, saying: "Master, this is the application form for the two of us."

  Application form?

"Didn't you keep talking? Engagement was not popular in your days. Let us write an application form, and you can always sign and approve it. No, we have written it. Please sign and ask for approval." Xia Shao smiled. The eyebrows were crooked, making Xu Kangguo confused.

  Only Li Juan knew about this, because she was going to prepare something for her daughter to use at the engagement ceremony. The two applications were specially confessed by her daughter. She was curious at the time and asked. But apart from Li Juan, even Xia Zhiyuan didn't know about this, let alone the Xu family.

  Xu Yanying chuckled. The old man had said this. She called Xia Shao and said it. It happened more than half a year ago. She actually remembered it?

After Xu Kangguo was dazed, he seemed to remember that he had said this before, and he couldn't help but smile, and then he raised his face in majesty, like a leader, "Really? Take me to see. The writing is not standard, not sincere. , I do not approve."

  At this time, the guests also reacted and couldn't help but smile. Most of the people in it came from that era. In that era, they had to write an application to the leader to get married. It's just that after so many years, most of the simple era was buried in the bottom of my heart. I didn't expect to revisit it tonight. Once, some people couldn't help but sighed and looked at the stage.

  Xu Kangguo accepted the two applications, and the old man's eyes brightened and he smiled. Two applications, one with cold and stern handwriting, with sharpness in the tactful part, and one with graceful handwriting, but strong in the tactile part, with a hidden edge. Both of them are good at writing, and the format and content are exactly what people remember and miss in those days.

  A certain unit, what kind of work it is engaged in, who introduced it, met and fell in love, sincere feelings, and apply for marriage, please be approved. The applicant and the year, month and day are clearly marked at the end.

  The old man laughed, these two children!

  The guests in the banquet hall rarely saw Xu Kangguo smiling from ear to ear, and could not help shaking. It seemed that the old man was really satisfied with Xia Shao’s grandson-in-law.

   "Pen!" Xu Kangguo looked at the audience, and Xia Shao smiled and passed the pen.

  The atmosphere under the stage was shaking again, really signing?

  In this era, with a marriage certificate, documents signed like this are no longer useful. But the identity of the old man is here. How can the marriage certificate of the Civil Affairs Bureau compare with the marriage certificate of the Civil Affairs Bureau? If this were put in the old society, it would be almost the same as the imperial edict. As long as Xia Shao keeps the application form signed by the old man, she will be the upright grandson in Xu's family in the future, and no one can take her position away!

  Of course, after seeing Xia Shao’s contacts, few people present thought that Xu's family would consider others when it came to choosing grandson-in-law. However, Xia Shao had this thing in his hand, and if there were people in the Xu family who were dissatisfied with her, this would indeed be a constraint.

  But Xia Shao really didn't have the thoughts of these guests on this matter. She was just teasing the old man to start school this time. As for restraining the Xu family? Now that they are afraid to lend the Xu family's second room courage, they don't dare to pick things up.

The guests had their own thoughts, and everyone looked at the old man on the stage who was smiling and lowering his head to sign. No one noticed. In the brilliant lights, the lonely and indifferent man looked deeply at the two applications, and his eyes seemed to be There was pain flashing, just for a moment, when the woman next to him looked at him, he was already looking as usual. It's just that when the old man signed the name and handed over the application, the man put it away, put it in the pocket close to his chest, and gently stroked his palm, as if he was touching his heart...

  After this after show, Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao began to toast the guests one by one at the table. The politician Jiang Qin came tonight from both lines. After Xia Shao came to the capital, it was the first time he saw so many politicians. Through the toast, she also met many people, and everyone was very polite towards her prospective grandson-in-law of the Xu family. No one mentioned the identity of Xia Shao's Fengshui Master during the dinner.

  As the chiefs of the two lines of Jiang and Qin, Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao first respected the table of Qin Chiyu and Jiang Shan. These two Xia Shao have met for the first time. The old man Qin Chiyu seems to have a more cheerful temperament. Qin Hanlin’s temperament is 80% inherited from the old man. On the contrary, Qin Hanlin’s father, Qin Anming, is a very calm person, wearing glasses and a literary man. Temperament, but quite majestic. When Xia Shao saw it, she sighed inwardly. Such a family, with Zhang Ruman's temperament, is indeed not suitable.

  As for Jiang Shan, the leader of the Jiang family, his temperament was unexpectedly hearty, and he could hear him all over the hall when he laughed. Xia Shao and Jiang Xia had a feast, even if Jiang Xia didn't know that Xia Shao had seen the plan some time ago, they should also know about the feast of the Wang Family and Xia Shao. The destruction of the Wang family has greatly damaged the Jiang family's strength. It stands to reason that Jiang Shan should not be too hot when seeing Xia Shao, but he seems to have never had any unhappiness between the two parties, and praised Xia Shao's young and promising.

  As a Feng Shui master, Xia Shao is a loyal person or a traitor, so it will be obvious at a glance.

  But tonight, Xia Shao really couldn't understand at a glance.

  Jiangshan’s physique and bones are definitely not rich and noble!

  This person is thin, looks difficult to be elegant, and belongs to a poor pattern, but this person is actually a member of the committee, and he is in a high position. The leader of the Jiang family!

  Xia Shao doesn’t need to look at Jiang Shan’s Bazi to see if there is a great pattern in numerology. The face of a person often reflects the information of the eight characters. People with the eight characters are also expensive, and this will not change. But Jiang Shan's face is definitely not a noble person, or even a poor and humble face!

  What's going on?

  Xia Shao raised her eyebrows lightly, and could not help but take a closer look while talking and laughing with Jiang Shan. At this glance, he found that his eyebrows were thick and his eyes had triangles.

  Xiang Xueyun: The eye is the king, the eyebrow is the minister. People with thick eyebrows have many heartfelt temperaments and good popularity, but Jiang Shan's eyebrows are thick and narrow, and they are hidden in his eyes. His eyes are typical triangular eyes, and they are still standard three white eyes.

  The so-called three white eyes refer to the first impression of a pair of eyes with the pupils very close up or very down. There are a lot of white eyes on three sides. In physiognomy, the three white eyes are divided into triangles, circles, magical dew, peach blossoms with drunkenness, etc., but in a big way, they are only divided into the upper three whites and the lower three whites. The pupil is relatively high, and the person with the white eyes below is the lower three whites. Jiang Shan's eyes are the typical triangle lower three whites.

  This type of person is usually bold, likes to control others, has a strong sense of self, and is quite strategic. If you have good intentions, you are a military teacher, but if you have evil intentions, you must be insidious and cunning. But whether it is good or evil, they are all types that are easier to get ahead.

   But, even so, the pattern of eyebrows and eyes alone cannot change Jiang Shan’s bones. This person shouldn’t be in a high position...

  Xia Shao rarely sees through, but she has a natural expression. She respects this table, and she respects the table with Xu Tianyin.

  Just when he went down to the table to toast, Xia Shao was still thinking about this, so he raised his eyes and glanced at the table over there. With this sweep, Jiang Shan turned his head and looked here. His seat turned his back to the back, and he didn't even move when he turned his head.

  Xia Shao was startled, and the lion looked back?

  The so-called lion looks back, that is, the head can be turned without moving the body, this is the appearance of great nobleness!

  This kind of noble appearance, very few people have it, almost never seen it in history. Xia Shao had only heard of a general in the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was just because she was too rare to see it. She was just listening to the story when she heard the master, but she didn't expect to see it with her own eyes tonight.

  No wonder, such a physical appearance can be in a high position. It turns out that the secret is here. This noble aspect is rare in the world, and it is not the body that can hinder it. Therefore, the Jiang family's prosperity has reached this point, and the general trend is in it.

  It’s just...

   Xia Shao's eyes fell. If she hadn't seen Jiang Shan, she still felt that Qin and Jiang were fighting for each other's own interests and could not be based on good and evil. But after seeing Jiang Shan tonight, she is bound to help the Qin family.

  Political games and factional fights, although it cannot be said that the people of the Qin family must be good, but the Jiang family must be evil. Everyone is just fighting for their own interests. But from the perspective of a superior person, a superior person with good intentions will naturally be better than a person with evil intentions in the future for the country and the people. Although Xia Shao had no shortage of calculations during the feast with the Jiang family, she never used it to determine how the head of the Jiang family was. But when she saw Jiang Shan tonight, she knew that this man was treacherous. The amount of equipment is not large, and it may not be suitable for being in a high position.

  If he is in power, people who have fought with him will definitely not end well!

When    made this decision in his heart, Xia Shao's toast was still going on. After respecting these military and political leaders, she and Xu Tianyin went to the table of friends.

  The first person to respect is naturally Tang Zongbo's table.

  Tang Zongbo sat at the front of the women’s table. Seeing Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao approaching, they all stood up and toasted to congratulations.

   "It's so beautiful tonight!" Luo Yue'e smiled and praised, and asked Xia Shao, "How is it? My designer is still satisfied with it?"

Xia Shao’s dress tonight and her parents’ dresses are from Luo Yue’e’s designer. This designer is very famous in the British fashion industry. When she was studying in Hong Kong, Xia Shao attended the press conference and the dress for the ball. I'll tell her, this happy event, of course I can't let it go.

   "lr is the designer who knows me the most. I am certainly satisfied with the dress from her." Xia Shao smiled, not thanking Luo Yue'e, lest she should blame her for being polite.

   "You are a living sign in this suit, and it is free to promote to our company." But Luo Yue'e was not at all polite with Xia Shao, and she was full of joy and authenticity. It wasn't until Chen Da coughed and pulled her around that she remembered that tonight was an engagement ceremony. It’s hard to say that, so she hurried to a toast to congratulate, “I’ll give you a gift, you can check it out later, you’re sure you like it. !"

  Xia Shao smiled and nodded. At this moment, Old Burton, Adam and Li Liangjun made a toast to her, and she toasted and sipped lightly.

  I looked up and saw Gong Muyun.

  Unfinished, I will finish this chapter at eight tomorrow morning
