Chapter 152: Reasonable and Unexpected
The sound of firecrackers makes people smile happily.
An atmosphere of joy gradually rose with the occasional sound of firecrackers. The child's face was red, but there was no hint of coldness.
"Everyone, today is the 30th of the New Year, and all of you here are members of the Wang family. The Wang family's current business this year is all thanks to your hard work. On behalf of the Wang family, I would like to thank you all here."
Wang Yunshan did not get up, looked around with his glass in his hand, and said his first words since he took the seat.
Everyone stood up, held the wine glasses, saluted Wang Yunshan and the four elders in the clan, and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Everyone, everyone, don't be restrained tonight..." Wang Yunshan smiled and nodded at everyone.
This sentence also means that the New Year's Eve family dinner has officially begun.
"Grandpa is happy today. It doesn't matter. Just let it go as soon as you see fit." Wang Zhao secretly looked at Wang Yunshan's table. Several elders in the clan were all smiling. Wang Yunshan, who usually doesn't drink much, also took the initiative today.
He picked up the wine glass, showing that he was in a high mood.
"Wait a moment. When the uncles toast, it's our turn. Let's go together then." Wang Xinghe looked at the noisy scene, but he was not interested at all. His eyes moved from the uncle's table to Jiang Ning's table.
Come to the table.
The two of them were on pins and needles, and even several cousins who flattered the two of them were paying attention to the activities of Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan from time to time.
Wang Ruoyan has taken over part of Dafang's business. Although it is not much, compared to these cousins, he can be said to be in charge of his own affairs. He has a sense of proportion in his behavior and knows what should be fought for and what should not be fought.
, and there is harmony within.
Therefore, she and Jiang Ning sat two tables away from her father. At the same table were several more important shopkeepers in the big house. Jiang Ning had also seen them in the past few days. During the exchange of drinks, there were mostly words of thanks, which represented that
Wang Ruoyan said some things about the scene.
Wang Yunshan seemed to be in a very good mood. His father-in-law, Wang Gongyong, was also very satisfied with Jiang Ning. During this period, Wang Gongyong looked at him twice and seemed to have said something to Wang Yunshan. Wang Yunshan then turned to several other clan elders and said
He got up and looked towards Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning didn't pay attention to this, but it was noticed by Wang Xinghe and Wang Zhao. On this occasion and in this atmosphere, of course you can say nice things, but you can also laugh and curse others?
"Come on, come on..." Wang Xinghe tugged on Wang Zhao's sleeve, and the two of them sat upright, watching their father and uncle get up. It was already time to toast.
After the elders walked around, it was time for the juniors to make a toast.
The first ones to get up were naturally Wang Ruoyan and Jiang Ning, followed by the cousins.
Wang Xinghe and Wang Zhao were waiting for this moment. They stood up, picked up their wine glasses and followed them.
"Haha, forget it, let's forget it today. It's rare to be happy. You juniors don't see each other very often. Let's talk more. After the New Year, we have to go our separate ways with our elders." As soon as everyone walked up to Wang Yunshan, they heard
Wang Yunshan opened his mouth and said that he wanted to get rid of this red tape. He was really happy and that's why he said this.
Such situations are rare, even on New Year's Eve. In Wang Xinghe's memory, it only happened once, and today is the second time.
"If anyone has finished eating and drinking, he can just leave on his own. There is no need to say hello today." Wang Yunshan continued, picked up the wine glass, gestured to everyone, and drank it all.
"Oh..." After hearing this sentence, especially the children, they all jumped for joy and ran and made noises between the banquets.
Jiang Ning and Wang Ruoyan stood where they were, but they were stunned for a moment, then turned back and sat down again.
Wang Zhao just stood up and could only go back again.
"What happened this year..." Wang Xinghe complained, missing this opportunity, it will not be easy to cause trouble for Jiang Ning.
"Nothing, I have good relations with Du Huanbing from the Donglin Club. When the time comes, he will come forward. The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month will also be a good opportunity." Wang Zhao thought about it and could only do this.
Wang Suwen smiled and said, "Are you still thinking about it?"
"You know shit." Wang Xinghe scolded: "If he really has real talent and knowledge, we can test it. If not, then it will just let grandpa and uncles know what kind of thing this guy is, so as to avoid it when the time comes.
Sister Ruoyan fell into his trap."
"That's right, that's what you should do based on emotion and reason."
"We will also go when the time comes. I know Guang Anjun, maybe I can invite him to go too..."
"Okay, okay, let's set it on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. We must let him show his true colors..."
Everyone, who was still a little dull just now, reached a consensus on this matter. They felt that they had made plans for a big event in their hearts, and started drinking. The elders of the clan were all there. Although they didn't drink and drink, they couldn't drink.
few.
Wang Xinghe even wanted to call Jiang Ning by his first name and refused to give up. He was stopped by everyone and sent back.
In the night sky, a firework rose into the sky with a whistle, exploded with a pop, and turned into stars all over the sky. The crackling sound was heard, leaving a trace of radiance.
Then the second and third fireworks took off, bringing the New Year atmosphere to its climax.
Most merchants like the Yang Family and the Wang Family would set off fireworks, but their location and time were not today. Judging from the colorful starry sky, it was the location of the Governor's Mansion.
As the seat of the political core of Hangzhou, this fireworks also marks that all the political and military officials in Hangzhou have gathered at the Prefect's Mansion to start the dinner today.
That is the center of Hangzhou. As the richest place in southern Zhejiang, Hangzhou has naturally become the center of southern Zhejiang.
Jiang Ning raised his head and took a look. He had never really appreciated such fireworks in the past. In this era when nightlife was basically in brothels, without feasting and feasting, fireworks became the most splendid existence.
Wang Ruoyan was also watching the fireworks, and the beauty emanating from his pupils was as gorgeous as fireworks.
Liu Sisi stood outside the kitchen on the second floor, watching the fireworks above her head with Ping'er. This time last year was the busiest time for the two of them. Although they are leisurely now, they are much happier than last year.
"Ping'er..."
A man suddenly appeared downstairs, holding a four-story lunch box in his hand, and waved to the two of them.
The man was tall, with a rugged face, even a bit tough, but his words did not match his appearance.
"Zheng Tu, come up..." Ping'er turned around and said, "Miss, I specially asked Zheng Tu to buy a delicious New Year's Eve dinner, hehe..."
"What I said..." Liu Sisi scratched the bridge of Ping'er's nose. Although her face was happy, she was always a little disappointed in her heart. Although it was not as good as in Zuiyuxuan, this feeling had never happened before.
of.
The fireworks covered the bright moon, and the smoke and dust dissipated. There was no bright fragrance, only the smell of explosives was left, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
