So in the next two days, all the families were actively preparing.
The annual reception was scheduled for January 6, three days after receiving the invitation.
The invitation letter stated that the owners and their families were invited to attend. Therefore, the women's family members spent two days buying clothes and one day doing maintenance.
The men were focused on choosing gifts. For this first meeting, everyone also worked hard to win the first place in gift giving, so as to make a good impression in front of the governor and his wife.
In order not to be compared by other aristocratic families, everyone is trying to collect treasures everywhere, how valuable and how to come.

On January 6, the national government.
For this annual reception, the whole house was decorated, of course, with the focus on the backyard.
Although it has always been called the backyard, in fact, this backyard is only a general term, which does not mean that there is only one yard in the backyard.
In fact, the area of the backyard is wider than that of the front yard. Zeling and his wife live in the main courtyard of the backyard. In addition, there are several large and small courtyards in the backyard.
The venue of this annual reception is set in the courtyard near the small garden. There is just a corridor between the two, so they are arranged together.
In this way, the area of the venue will be widened and the space for guests' activities will be wider.
Earlier, Qin Yiling, the flower in the small garden, had been taken care of by people. It was full of colorful flowers, which also added a beautiful scenery to the cool winter.
Fruit cakes are placed on the stone table in the small garden. It is worth mentioning that Qin Yiling also specially placed a phonograph in a corner of the small garden, playing melodious classical music.
In an instant, the whole small garden becomes more elegant and full of a different kind of interest.
As for the courtyard, Qin Yiling directly designed it as a western style self-help afternoon tea party, because the time for inviting everyone is set from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Originally, she wanted to arrange it in the evening and make it into a dinner party, but Yan Ze rejected it. She didn't have a good rest in the evening. What kind of party was she going to do? And isn't it cold in the winter night?
As a wife slave, Yan Ze doesn't want his daughter-in-law to suffer at all.
Therefore, the annual reception was set as an afternoon tea party. Of course, Qin Yiling still asked people to prepare a lot of meals.
The whole courtyard is surrounded by flowers and green leaves. The colorful colors make the whole courtyard bright. The surrounding areas are decorated with pink and blue ribbons. Walking into the courtyard has a feeling of spring.
Around the courtyard, Qin Yiling also asked people to install a heating board, which always exudes heat, so that the whole courtyard is warm.
Since it is to frighten the "local snakes" in Chengdu, Qin Yiling certainly has to show his hand. Otherwise, how can he show the prestige of the national government?
Anyway, there is also a research institute and an industrial technology department under the name of the national government, which are engaged in industrial R & D. besides, there are not many people who know her own origin, so there is room to borrow it.
Anyway, there will be more high-tech industrial products in the future. Now we might as well shock everyone first.
On both sides of the courtyard, there are two long wooden tables decorated with beige broken flower tablecloths, on which there are two high mouth vases with flower branches scattered outward.
Two large vases are placed on the table, much higher than any object, so they are very eye-catching, but they are not abrupt at all, but they have a sense of elegant style.
On the table, there are many exquisite delicacies, snacks, fruits and nuts. On the other side of the long table, there are red wine bottles that look very expensive.
Why does it look expensive?
That's because the wine bottle is not placed directly on the table, but on two wooden shelves. It seems that it is specially designed to hold the wine bottle.
Many rich people have also drunk red wine, but they have never seen such a way to manipulate red wine.
Such a fiddle gives people a very high-grade feeling, and naturally feels that the price is more expensive.
Secondly, there is another reason. Now red wine has entered the sight of Chinese people. It is only because foreigners raise prices that the price of foreign wine is generally high.
Qin Yiling put out two wooden lattices of red wine. There are more than 20 bottles, not including the spare ones.
Of course, these red wines are really first-class red wines, which Qin Yiling specially prepared.
Although many people don't taste red wine at all, and most of the time they just want to follow the crowd, even so, she doesn't want to fool people with some inferior products. Instead, she is losing her worth.
In addition to red wine, we also prepared some cocktails and champagne, followed by fruit juice and tea.
Under the eaves around, small round tables and chairs are arranged to facilitate people to rest or sit and talk.
Finally, a small stage was built directly opposite the door of the courtyard, all decorated with flowers and wooden screens. A banner was also pulled above the stage: year-end reception to celebrate the new year.
At this time, in front of the screen wooden column on the stage, the players are playing folk instruments, and the melodious music slowly fills the whole courtyard.
In order to add a ethereal stage effect, Qin Yiling also specially made a smoke machine to diffuse out from the flowers behind the stage.
The white fog is ethereal, like a lost fairyland.
Outside the courtyard, a long red carpet was laid, and a check-in office was set on the red carpet.
The high wooden frame built a background wall, surrounded by dark red curtains, and then dotted with light colored flowers.
Each guest who arrives will first show the invitation letter to the staff to verify his identity, and then write his name on the sign in wall.
At the same time, a cameraman was specially arranged at the check-in office to take photos for each guest.
Qin Yiling dares to guarantee that this move can absolutely frighten all the guests.
Take the red carpet, sign, take pictures
Won't such a scene make people feel that they are the focus of attention?
The effect she wants is that the scene is large, there are battles, and the novel and unique way of attending the meeting can definitely shake their hearts and satisfy their vanity.
At the same time, it can also show the attention of their national government to each guest.
——
At 1 p.m., two female officers of the publicity and liaison department stood at the gate in decent clothes to welcome the distinguished guests, which was also to show their welcome to the national government.
Today's annual reception is not a private banquet for the Zeling couple. It is mainly held in the public capacity of the national government, so it is not the home of the couple.
