Dear president, love first

Chapter 15: Marriage of the Yan Family

The little girl is the daughter of Yan Jiyun's fifth aunt. She is only ten years old this year, and she is at the age of innocence and nonsense.Lai looked at Yan Jiyun with a smile in his arms: "My brother is so handsome... Yesterday my brother sent me to the school gate, and the female students in our class saw my brother... One of them even said that she wanted to be my brother's girlfriend... whee……"

"Girlfriend?" Yan Jiyun's face twitched slightly.

"Hee hee... Who made my brother look so good-looking, I want to find a boyfriend who is as handsome as my brother!"

"You're only ten years old..." Yan Jiyun was helpless, children matured too quickly these days.

Xinya pouted: "There are several couples in our class, but I haven't found a boy I like."

"Okay, okay, when Xinya takes a fancy to someone, remember to tell my brother, when the time comes, my brother will invite you to eat ice cream."

"Okay!" Xinya clapped her hands happily. She likes to eat ice cream the most, and only Yan Jiyun would take her to eat it, while her parents would only say that she would get fat after eating ice cream, so they wouldn't let her eat it.

The childish laughter drove away the awkward and dull air in the room, and it was time for dinner.

Walking down the stairs was a hale and hearty old man, dressed in a brown silk Tang suit, with gray hair but a ruddy complexion, not angry but mighty, domineering and awe-inspiring, and the wrinkles on his face were the traces of his vicissitudes.He is Yan Hongzhang.

The appearance of Yan Hongzhang made the living room quiet, and everyone stood up and looked at him respectfully, including Xiao Xinya, who also curled up obediently in Yan Jiyun's arms.

"Everyone is here, let's serve dinner." Yan Hongzhang's simple words were slow and powerful, showing the demeanor of the head of the family.

A dining table that can accommodate more than 20 people was filled immediately, with Yan Hongzhang sitting at the head and Yan Jiyun sitting on his left.Yan Zhui sat on his right side, and the rest of them sat in order according to their seniority, without the slightest deviation.

In the Yan family, even eating is based on seniority.This is the house rule.Family rules passed down from ancestors.Yan Jiyun is the most powerful person in the family besides Yan Hongzhang, so he sits on the left side.And Yan Zhui's position in the company was second only to Yan Jiyun, so he sat on the right side.

The Yan family has a strict family. Although this is an enlightened era, there are some rules that must be followed when born in the Yan family. These are all cultivated by everyone in the family since childhood, and passed down from generation to generation.

The dining table was full of delicacies, but no one would move their chopsticks first, because Yan Hongzhang hadn't spoken yet.

The atmosphere was very serious, and even those who had ridiculed Yan Jiyun before all maintained their polite attitudes and expressions.

Yan Hongzhang looked around the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Yan Jiyun. Seeing that he was calm and indifferent, and seemed a bit out of place with everyone, Yan Hongzhang frowned slightly: "Eat your chopsticks, the chef made a few new dishes today, try them out. Sample."

After the old man spoke, the others began to eat.Few people spoke during the banquet, and even if they did, they only praised the delicious dishes in a small way, and they didn't make any loud noises.And everyone eats as if they have been trained, gentle, light, chewing slowly.You won't see anyone's chopsticks sticking out to the other side of the plate, and they all consciously only clamp the plate towards the side in front of them.

If you want to drink soup, you can only scoop it into your own bowl with a spoon, and you cannot stick your own chopsticks into the soup bowl to stir it.

The servants are on hand at all times, and the food that needs to be cut with a knife and fork in the middle of the table will be cut by the servants and distributed to their bowls. They will not get up to do it by themselves, and they must maintain etiquette and elegance at all times.

During the meeting, Yan Hongzhang would ask about the work and study of everyone present, and report to anyone who asked.Yan Jiyun felt that this was not like a family banquet, but more like a company report and meeting... He couldn't feel the warm and harmonious atmosphere, only cold and boring.

Pretentious and uncomfortable, so Yan Jiyun was very disgusted with such a family banquet in his heart, buried himself in the food, and planned to withdraw after a while.He really couldn't bear this dull atmosphere, he would rather go back to his residence and cook a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach...

The Yan family was used to this kind of family banquet, and just before the table was finished, Yan Hongzhang spoke again.

"I asked you all to come back for dinner today because I have something important to say... about the marriage of Yan Jiyun and Yan Zhui. You are all elders. If you have any ideas or if you have a suitable candidate, feel free to bring them up." Yan Hongzhang He said it lightly, but these words undoubtedly brought quite a shock.
