Stepping down the stairs on the soft carpet, Qi Yan saw countless celebrities in the hall, dressed and smiling. But although there were many people on the scene, everyone's voice was well controlled, and no one shouted.
CEN Baihe worried that Qi Yan didn't adapt to such an occasion. He deliberately lagged behind his family, accompanied Qi Yan and whispered to him who was on the scene.
"The birthday star is coming." Cen Qiusheng was ridiculed by several old friends as soon as he appeared. Some praised him for his spirit as he lived, others praised his children's filial piety and promising future. The whole atmosphere was hot and noisy, and the guests coaxed Cen Qiusheng to blush.
A strange young man suddenly appeared in the cen family, and he was close to the old five of the cen family. This scene attracted the attention of many guests, but he was embarrassed to ask about the identity of the young man.
"Old Cen, who is this young man?" old yuan, who has a good relationship with Cen Qiusheng, looked at Qi Yan kindly, touched his stomach and said with a smile, "the child looks beautiful and beautiful. He is really a good face."
"You say you are in your 70s and 80s and can't use idioms," Cen Qiusheng smiled and patted master yuan on the shoulder. "Zhong lingyuxiu, that's a word to describe people?"
"Almost that's what I mean." old man yuan was the same age as Cen Qiusheng, but he got married earlier that year, and his eldest grandson was not much younger than Cen Baihe. He had reached the age of marriage.
"This is our fifth best friend, surnamed Qi." Cen Qiusheng waved to Qi Yan, "Xiao, Mr. Qi, this is the master of the yuan family, Yuan Chongan."
"Qi..." old man yuan narrowed his eyes and seemed to think of something. He looked at Qi Yan more kindly. CEN Qiusheng, an old fox, only calls this young man Mr. Qi. I'm afraid many people present don't know. This soft smiling young man is a capable master.
"Hello, Mr. Yuan." Qi Yan bent down and shook hands with Yuan Chongan. "Just call me Xiao Qi."
"I've heard a lot about Mr. Qi. When I saw him today, I didn't expect Mr. Qi to be so young," Yuan Chongan shook hands with Qi Yan with a smile. "You and Bai He are good friends. Don't call me uncle yuan so unfamiliar."
Yuan Cheng, who followed yuan Chongan, couldn't help grinning. He was clearly Qi Yan's senior brother. How could he blink and be one generation shorter than him for no reason?
Many young masters and young ladies of rich families in the imperial capital are not much different from Cen Baihe's age, but his generation is one generation and two generations lower than him. No one can understand that kind of awkward and powerless feeling.
Qi Yan noticed that Yuan Peng and Yuan Cheng, who followed behind old man yuan, smiled and didn't answer this title.
CEN Qiusheng said, "it's so busy today. You young people can get together. We old men won't join in the fun with you."
As soon as the birthday man said this, many young people praised him for looking very young. Others said they were willing to listen to their elders more, which could benefit them a lot. Although they can't wait to put on their wings and fly away, there are many beautiful words on their faces.
CEN Qiusheng didn't take these young people's words seriously. He happily scattered them. He was very kind.
"Didn't eat at noon?" Cen Baihe and Qi Yan went to the food self-service area and saw him put some food on the plate. Unexpectedly, they also learned his actions and picked up a plate to eat.
"Eat a little," Qi Yan picked some clams, "you don't have to accompany the guests?"
"Everyone knows that Cen fifth master is not in good health," Cen Baihe whispered in Qi Yan's ear, "who dares to drink and greet me."
When Qi Yan heard this, he suddenly thought whether there were not many people who dared to play with Cen Baihe since childhood, because he was born extraordinary and in poor health. The parents of other children were afraid of taking responsibility, so they would specially ask their children not to be too close to the old five of Cen's family, so they couldn't afford to pay for an accident.
Human beings have the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, which is no different from their status. When he was a child, there was a classmate in the next class who was in poor health. The classmate didn't play with him. The child vowed that his grandparents or parents said that the child couldn't live long. Don't touch him.
No one wants to bear the disaster, but what kind of experience will it be for the excluded child?
Qi Yan could even imagine that the little Cen Baihe was wearing a full suit, sitting on the stool and looking at the picture of other children playing. Thinking of this, Qi Yan felt very uncomfortable. He gave a free hand and patted Cen Baihe on the back. "It's all right. I'm not afraid of what I want to play in the future."
CEN Baihe felt that the hand on his back was like a fire, which made his whole body hot. He opened his mouth, his throat seemed to be stuck with something, and it took a long time for him to "hum".
"Don't be too moved, brother, that's what I mean." Qi Yan patted Cen Baihe on the shoulder, then took the shelled shrimps with a clip and put them into Cen Baihe bowl. "It looks very fresh. Have a try."
At the banquet, many people were secretly watching Cen Baihe. When they saw Cen Baihe and an unknown boy go to the food area to look for food, they couldn't believe their eyes. Who doesn't know that the old five of the cen family is in poor health. They usually eat nutritious meals specially prepared by nutritionists. They don't touch such self-help food.
Who is this lengtouqing? He eats with Cen Wuye. He's brave enough to go to heaven.
There is a large lawn outside the banquet, on which there are many exquisite and beautiful tables and chairs for guests to drink tea, chat and eat.
Qi Yan, who carries whole food in both hands, is not too unusual in the circle of young people. Only with a Cen Baihe around him, he has attracted much attention. After Qi Yan sat down in his chair, he whispered to Cen Baihe, "I think the eyes of those people around me are like a group of black beans staring at the lentils falling into them."
CEN Baihe picked his eyebrows and didn't quite understand Qi Yan's meaning.
"It's different," Qi Yan cut a piece of meat and put it into his mouth with a silver fork. "After living for 22 years, I'm finally going to be famous."
"Don't make trouble," Cen Baihe was amused by his words. "When my father introduced your last name, someone already guessed your identity. The things in hongliangshan and lvluo community have been solved by you. Do you think those big families won't pay special attention to you?"
Qi Yan giggled and bowed his head to eat dinner quietly. He was really hungry.
Since he could see other people's luck with his naked eye, he was especially able to eat. It may be because his spiritual power has increased a lot. Of course, it may also be the reason why his height can go up.
People with a net height of only 178.5 cm always want to strive to get one meter eight.
The breeze blew his hair. He looked up at the swimming pool not far away. He remembered that more than ten years ago, the old man took him to swim by the river. The river was very clear. He could catch some small fish and go back to make soup.
He looked up and saw that Cen Baihe was staring at the things on the plate with a tangled expression. He looked intently. It turned out to be some shredded carrots. He used chopsticks that he had never had a chance to use next to him to help Cen Baihe pick the shredded carrots into his bowl. He said, "what a good thing carrots are, you don't like it."
"Hey..." seeing Qi Yan's quick eyes and hands, he picked out all the shredded turnips. Before Cen Baihe could say anything, he swallowed them all back. In fact, he has planned to try again, but since money has picked out things, he'd better give up this attempt.
After they were full, cen Baihe wiped the corners of his mouth, took warm boiled water and drank two mouthfuls: "money, is there a problem between my third brother and my third sister-in-law?"
Qi Yan didn't expect Cen Baihe's observation to be so powerful. He just said a few words to Cen sanshao and his wife, and he noticed that there was something wrong with the music. "There's no big problem. I just think Cen Sansao seems to be a little unsure."
CEN Baihe thought for a moment: "I know."
Although the conditions of the third sister-in-law's family are quite good, there are still some gaps compared with the cen family. Most importantly, when the third brother and the third sister-in-law fell in love, the third brother was chased by the third sister-in-law. Therefore, after the two married, some people said that the third sister-in-law had a deep mind and could do anything for the wealth of the cen family.
But for the cen family, what they see is the good of the third sister-in-law. Those messy statements from the outside world are just jokes for them. Can't their Cen family even see who is sincere and who is false. But I didn't expect that the third sister-in-law still cared about what their Cen family didn't care about.
"The third brother should be blamed for this. If he were more careful, the third sister-in-law wouldn't have such an idea." Cen Baihe sighed, "I'll go back and communicate with the third brother. Money, thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know if there would be an irreparable mistake between the third brother and the third sister-in-law."
"I told you earlier that my good brother didn't thank me," Qi Yan joked, "but you can look at things from the perspective of female compatriots, which shows that you are a good man who can think of women. Sister-in-law Cen will be lucky in the future."
"What's the fifth sister-in-law Cen," Cen Baihe frowned with a faint tone, "you think far. You're a Taoist. Do you want to get married and have children?"
"My master and I are both layman disciples. Although the technique originates from Taoism, it is not a real Taoist. There is no stress," Qi Yan looked at the plate in front of him. "What's the difference between a life that can't eat meat and salted fish."
"So you have someone you like?" Cen Baihe squinted at Qi Yan and waited for his answer.
"I'm still young," Qi Yan raised his eyebrows. "You're not in a hurry for a man about to enter middle age. What's my hurry?"
CEN Baihe, who was about to cross the threshold of 29 and enter the 30-year-old mark, felt that his hands were itchy. He almost couldn't help slapping Qi Yan on the forehead. It was a pity that someone interrupted their conversation and let him not breathe out.
"Mr. Cen, Mr. Qi," Ruan Youyi, wearing a beautiful dress, stood at the table with a smile, "do you mind if I sit down?"
Qi Yan looked at Cen Baihe and saw that he didn't respond. He smiled and got up to open the chair for Ruan Youyi: "Miss Ruan, please sit down."
Ruan Youyi glanced at the two empty plates on the table and raised her red lips. "Am I disturbing you two?" she looked at Cen Baihe with a cold expression and felt a little bitter. Even if he took the initiative to approach, he wouldn't have another expression for himself, as if she was just an irrelevant passer-by.
"Two distinguished guests, do you want me to remove the dishes for you?" a waiter came up to the three and bowed to them.
"Thank you. Thank you."
When the waiter removed the plate, he didn't know why he looked a little trance. The sauce in the plate splashed on Qi Yan's coat, which scared him to change his face. He wanted to wipe the stain for Qi Yan himself, but he knew that it was too late to wipe it again now.
"It's all right," Qi Yan smiled at the waiter. "Don't care."
The waiter bowed to him again and then left in three steps.
"Sorry, I didn't expect this to happen," Cen Baihe took out his handkerchief. "It seems that I can only go back and wash it."
"It doesn't matter to you. Your family just booked a banquet in this hotel. Can you still be responsible for everyone's words and deeds?" Qi Yan stretched out his arm and let Cen Baihe wipe his sleeves. "Fortunately, I went out today and chose a gray cover instead of white."
CEN Baihe wiped it a few times, but he couldn't wipe it off, so he had to give up. He put away his handkerchief and said with a smile, "that's lucky?"
"Of course," Qi Yan nodded solemnly, "luck is reflected by comparison."
"Crooked reasoning," Cen Baihe shook his head and smiled, "I don't know where you find so many crooked reasoning and heresies all day."
"This is not a fallacy, this is the crystallization of wisdom," Qi Yan said with an expression of "you don't understand me." I won't tell him most people. "
Ruan Youyi silently watched Cen Baihe tease his friends and felt that he knew too little about him. She didn't know he would hurt each other with his friends, he would also gently help his friends clean their clothes, and even didn't know he would gently say sorry.
In her impression, CEN Wuye has always been good-looking, elegant, noble and indifferent. She can't imagine the picture of him joking with others, which is completely different from Cen Wuye in her imagination. However, such a Cen fifth master seems more vivid and makes her feel that if she can be loved by such a man, it must be the luckiest thing in the world.
Before, a female artist dared to hype Cen fifth master and hinted in front of reporters that Cen fifth master was not in good health and would not be very happy with him. At that time, when she saw this report, the whole person was almost blown up. Later, she put pressure on the female artist's boyfriend's family, so that the female artist had no chance to marry into a rich family in her life.
It's ridiculous. If you hype the identity and health of an irrelevant person, you should be prepared to be retaliated.
"Mr. Qi doesn't drink?" Ruan Youyi noticed that there was a cup of freshly squeezed juice in front of Qi Yan.
"I don't like drinking very much, let alone driving without drinking," Qi Yan picked up the orange juice and touched Ruan Youyi with a spray cup. "Miss Ruan, don't mind."
"It turned out that Mr. Qi drove here by himself," Ruan Youyi sipped champagne slightly, and his smile was a little light. "It's right not to drink." on such occasions, everyone can't avoid drinking a little wine, so few people drive here in person.
Mr. Qi, who doesn't know where he came from, doesn't even know this?
"Qian Qian," Cen Baihe said coldly, "the sun is a little sunny outside. Let's go in."
"Why don't you let the waiter hold an umbrella here?" Ruan Youyi asked with a smile.
"No," Cen Baihe's eyes swept from Ruan Youyi without a trace of emotion. "I happen to take money to meet some people."
"Oh," said Ruan Youyi with an embarrassed smile, "then I won't bother you two."
Qi Yan followed Cen Baihe to the inner hall. When stepping on the steps, he looked back in the direction of Ruan Youyi. The other party sat alone at the table, with a perfect posture like a goddess.
"What are you looking at?" Cen Baihe stopped and looked back at him.
"Nothing," Qi Yan took back his eyes, shook his head and said casually, "Miss Ruan is so beautiful."
CEN Baihe said expressionless, "really, I didn't see it."
"People like you who don't understand customs are really alone," Qi Yan shook his head. "I won't discuss this aesthetic problem with you."
CEN Baihe didn't answer this question. After entering the inner hall with Qi Yan, he took him to greet several leaders of the family with extraordinary status and made it clear to everyone that master Qi, whom you secretly checked, has a good relationship with their Cen family. It's best not to make any impolite little moves.
As for other upstarts or small families, cen Baihe felt that even if he didn't say hello, he couldn't suffer any loss with Qi Yan's ability.
"Dad, Bai He and master Qi have really become good friends," elder brother Cen said with emotion as he watched his brother spend almost the whole time with master Qi. "He has never been with me like this since he was young."
"Friends are different from brothers," said Cen Qiusheng, who drank a little wine and turned red. The whole person looked happy. "But seeing him like this, I felt a lot more secure."
"Yes......" elder brother Cen looked at his soft brother. He hadn't seen such a relaxed brother for a long time.
I really hope master Qi and Bai He can be friends all his life, so he doesn't have to worry about his brother's health.
Qi Yanzheng was talking to Cen Baihe. He suddenly felt that his eyes fell on him. He looked back suspiciously and found that the waiter who had just soiled his coat was secretly looking at him.
Seeing that he found himself, the waiter quickly dodged.
Qi Yan frowned. The waiter's eyes were not guilty, but looked at him.
