Chapter 256 Wedding Banquet
Chapter 256 Wedding Banquet
The wedding date of Gong Qi and his little cousin has arrived, and everyone is invited to attend their wedding.
Song Ruize's injuries had almost healed, and he was able to walk again. Qin Huiyin had specifically asked him about it, and she heard that he had also received a wedding invitation and had taken him shopping for his clothes two days in advance.
When Qin Huiyin and Song Ruize arrived at the banquet together, Tang Yichen, who was originally talking to the person next to him, stopped smiling and looked at Song Ruize coldly.
Song Ruize noticed the gaze and followed it. When he saw Tang Yichen, he turned back indifferently.
"Here, here..." Tang Yi smiled and waved to Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin looked at Song Ruize and asked, "Brother Erzhu and the others are on the left, and Brother Chen Yong and the others are on the right. Do you want to go find them?"
"They want to drink..."
"Then you should sit with me. I have to keep an eye on you. Even though your wound has scabbed over, you still can't touch spicy food."
Tang Yi smiled as he saw Song Ruize appear and said, "Sorry, there's only one spot left."
"It's okay, we'll sit at the table next to us." Qin Huiyin said as she was about to leave.
"No, no, I just came here to ask Brother Tang a few questions. Now that I'm done, I have to go back to my classmates." The scholar who was originally sitting next to Tang Yichen stood up.
As soon as he left, there was a seat left next to Tang Yichen, and another empty seat next to Tang Yixiao. If Qin Huiyin sat next to Tang Yixiao, Song Ruize would have to sit next to Tang Yichen. If Qin Huiyin sat next to Tang Yichen, Song Ruize would have to sit next to Tang Yixiao. In short, there was an obstacle between the brother and sister.
Qin Huiyin looked at the table next to her and wondered whether to take Song Ruize to sit there. It was quite empty there, so he could sit wherever he wanted without having to worry about it like he was doing now.
Li Taohua couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she said to Tang Yi with a smile, "Xiao brother, move aside."
"I want to sit with my sister." Tang Yi smiled unhappily.
"Your eldest sister is right next to you. Isn't it enough for you to stick to her? Why do you insist on having your second sister accompany you?" Li Taohua said unhappily, "Hurry up."
Tang Dafu urged: "What are you dawdling for, little brat?"
Tang Yixiao stood up reluctantly and walked to the seat next to him.
Qin Huiyin hesitated for a moment, then sat next to Tang Yichen, leaving the other seat for Song Ruize.
If she sat on the other side, she could sit next to Tang Yixiao, which would just satisfy Tang Yixiao's wish of "I want to sit with my sister", but she was really worried about arranging Tang Yichen and Song Ruize together.
Only she can be the dividing line.
The wedding ceremony officially began.
Qin Huiyin pulled Song Ruize up and said, "Let's go and take a look. I haven't seen it yet!"
When Li Taohua married Tang Dafu, the ceremony was simple, unlike the grand ceremony when Boss Ning married his daughter. Even weddings in the village were not this grand, and today was her first time witnessing a wealthy ancient wedding.
"Brother Gong Qi looks so handsome today!" Qin Huiyin exclaimed.
Li Taohua looked at this scene, then looked at the children in front of her, and suddenly felt a little sad.
"Brother Chen is already fifteen. If he hadn't taken the imperial examination, he would have been looking for a girlfriend by now. In a few years, Lu Wu and Yin Yin would also have to look for a girlfriend..."
Thinking of this, Li Taohua frowned.
She looked at Qin Huiyin's exquisite face, then at the mediocre and unremarkable young men in the room, and suddenly felt that her daughter didn't have to marry. None of these people were worthy of her. There were two men nearby who were talented, good-looking, and had good temperaments, but they were both her brothers. Now she could only pin her hopes on Chen Ge'er. If he became an official, he would be in contact with officials in the future, and perhaps he would meet someone worthy of her daughter.
Anyway, her daughter is so outstanding that she must not be fooled away by those mediocre and incompetent people.
Li Taohua looked at Song Ruize, thinking that she had been his stepmother for a year after all, and now his temper was not so strange, so maybe she could help him arrange his marriage.
Song Ruize was wearing a gold hairpin on his head. The style was simple, but the patterns on it were very delicate. Paired with the dark blue robe, he looked more like a young master from a wealthy family.
Tang Yichen, who was equally outstanding as him, was still wearing silver clothes. Unlike the usual solid colors, this time the silver clothes had a red lining, which made him look even better.
"Whose boy is that over there? He's so handsome."
"Which one?"
"One is dressed in blue, the other in silver..."
"Oh, forget about those two. One is a scholar who's known for establishing a career before starting a family. The other is the dam's chief. Don't underestimate his youth; he's very capable!"
"That scholar doesn't want to get married, and the other one hasn't said he doesn't want to get married either. Why doesn't he want to get married? My daughter is very pretty and about the same age as him."
"He didn't say he didn't want to get married, but he has a strange temper. No girl dares to approach him. Your daughter is so timid that she won't have this blessing!"
The ceremony ended and everyone returned to their seats.
After the banquet started, many people appeared around Song Ruize and Tang Yichen, trying to make friends. However, Qin Huiyin blocked all the social drinks.
Gong Qi quickly came over to toast.
"I apologize for the poor hospitality!"
"Congratulations, Brother Gong Qi. I wish you and sister-in-law a happy marriage, a son soon, and a long life together..." Qin Huiyin said a long list of blessings.
"Hahaha, thank you for your kind words." Gong Qi couldn't stop smiling. "There are guests over there. I'll go and entertain them. You guys take your time eating."
Tang Yichen and others did not drink alcohol, so they said goodbye to the host after eating and drinking.
On the way back, Li Taohua stopped Song Ruize and said, "This place is close to Chuan Chuan Xiang. Come over and sit for a while. I have something to ask you."
Song Ruize: "..."
He looked around and saw no one else except Qin Huiyin, which meant that Li Taohua was talking to him.
He couldn't help but feel confused and followed the Tang family to eat Chuan Chuan Xiang.
Tang Luwu lowered her voice and asked, "Yinyin, what does mother want to say?"
"I don't know." Qin Huiyin was also confused.
Li Taohua hardly ever paid attention to Song Ruize. Even if she did, it wasn't because of him, but because of herself. This time, she took the initiative to find Song Ruize. Was she trying to cause trouble for him?
probably not.
There hasn't been any conflict between the two recently.
It was too late now, so Tang Yichen did not return to the academy, but went to Chuan Chuan Xiang.
Tang Yixiao could have gone back to the clinic, but everyone was there today, and Li Taohua also called Song Ruize. He really wanted to know what Li Taohua wanted to talk to Song Ruize about, so he followed her.
"Mom, what do you want to talk to Brother Ruize about?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"I want to discuss some private matters with him," Li Taohua said. "You all should go about your own business and don't join in the fun."
Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu looked at each other.
Li Taohua actually wanted to drive Qin Huiyin away. What kind of private matter was this that even she couldn't listen to?
