Chapter 546

Although Chu Chen wanted to see what was in the holding pot, it was certainly not convenient to check it now. So when Zhu Dafu and Zhao Xueyi came in, he had to press his mind and then stand at the door with Wu Ke to welcome the guests.

Next, Zhou Wenping and others came. When they saw chuchen's villa, they were very surprised. Although they knew chuchen was rich, the security of the community was not enough. Just the size of the villa shocked them.

When they came into the courtyard and saw the scenery of the small bridge, flowing water and other people in the courtyard, they were even more amazed.

When they walked into the villa, they saw that many of the guests sitting in the house were rich and not rich, especially the old revolutionaries sitting at the main table. They immediately became stiff. However, they were also full of vision for the future. Are they afraid that they will have no future if they work with a boss like Chu Chen?

At the same time, the three members of Zhao Qirui's family and a Chao also arrived.

Zhao Heyan wrinkled her nose and said, "Dad, you're a real man. That Mercedes Benz has been for several years. You don't know if it's a shame to change one. It broke down halfway."

"I said that you are a girl, whether you are finished or not. You have been mumbling all the time. Besides, be careful that I beat you!" Zhao Qirui vicious said, but a closer look will know that he is pretending.

"It's my responsibility that the car is not well maintained." A Chao is embarrassed to say.

"All right, all right! Don't talk about it! " Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said: "in the final analysis, the quality of the parts that we replaced last time is not up to standard. However, the car has been driving for several years, so it's time to replace it. Ah Chen, why don't we buy one together?"

"I have a car, don't I?" Chu Chen waved his hand.

"One car is not enough! Is Xiaoke not going to use it? " Zhao Qirui said: "and my sister's car has been driving for a long time. Let's change it then."

"Uncle, I'm going to study in England. It's not a waste to buy a car now." Wu Ke said quickly.

"It's the same here!" Zhao Qirui nodded: "let's change a car for my sister first. Ah Chen, what do you think?"

"Yes Of course, Chu Chen would not have any opinions on this matter.

"When can I buy a car?" Zhao Heyan muttered.

"When you graduate from college, what kind of car do you buy?" Gao Yiya stares at Zhao Heyan.

"Ah! That's not going to take years! " Zhao Heyan wailed.

"If you call again, you will pay for it yourself!" Gao Yiya said with a straight face.

As soon as she heard that she had to pay for the car herself, Zhao Heyan immediately flattered her mother, which made other people laugh.

"Ah Chen, this is my gift to you! See if you like it or not Then, Zhao Qirui smiles and hands the box to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen opened the box. What he didn't expect was that inside the box was not any antique calligraphy or painting, but a house property certificate and a bunch of keys. This surprised him a little. He raised his head and asked, "what is this?"

"Some time ago, I happened to see a Siheyuan for sale. The price of everything was quite suitable, so I bought it." Zhao Qirui returned with a smile.

"Siheyuan?"

People around are extremely curious, and then Chu Chen opened the property certificate to see, Wu Ke immediately exclaimed: "the area is 5300 square meters?"

"There is also a basement, which is nearly 5500 square meters." Zhao Qirui said with a smile.

Liu Sizhe and his family immediately took a breath of cool air. Even with their relationship, the value of such a large courtyard is more than 40 million. The key is that even if they have money, such a large courtyard is so easy to buy.

"Uncle, your present is too valuable for me to accept!" Chu Chen waved his hand and wanted to return the house property certificate to Zhao Qirui.

"You little boy, what's valuable here? Tens of millions are nothing to you

Zhao Qirui glared at Chu Chen, waved his hand and said: "also, the things I sent you have never been returned. You are so hypocritical. Be careful I'm angry!"

When Chu Chen saw what his uncle said, he had no choice but to accept it. However, he felt a little embarrassed. What should we do about the courtyard? Is it so empty? That's too wasteful. If he wants to move to a quadrangle, he's reluctant to give up the villa. Moreover, Mr. Liu doesn't live far away, so he can often visit and consult with him.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt!"

After a long time, Zhao Qirui said, "I'm afraid I'll be in trouble for you."

"That's what it should be." Chuchen said with a smile. Since Siheyuan is going to be demolished and rebuilt, it's better to move it or not, and then we can make a decision.

…………

Zhao Qirui's family was welcomed into the living room. Chu Chen and Wu Ke welcomed several more guests. Basically, the guests were almost there.

Because it was just an engagement, the people who came this time were mainly Chu Chen's relatives and some friends. Besides the teachers, there were several father's colleagues who just filled the living room.The engagement and marriage ceremonies, apart from being simpler, are similar in other places. It's just that for a family like chuchen, generally speaking, whether it's engagement or marriage, the best ceremony is Chinese style. Of course, chuchen also prefers Chinese etiquette.

However, Wu Ke, after all, is a girl and prefers romantic rituals. For this, Chu Chen can only say sorry to her and make up for a romantic honeymoon at that time!

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the engagement ceremony of Mr. Chu Chen and Miss Wu Ke..."

At 11:58 at noon, the engagement ceremony officially began. Although Chu Chen and Wu Ke had rehearsed for a while yesterday, they began to get nervous when they arrived at the scene. Then, like puppets, they listened to the direction of the host and proceeded step by step according to the process.

Finally, when the couple offered tea to their fathers, the Chinese engagement ceremony was completed.

After the ceremony, several respected old people were invited to a special table in the inner room, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

"Come on, you two come in together..." They waved to Chu Rong.

Chu Chen and Wu Ke quickly follow in.

"This is for you. When you get married, you'd better have multiple births."

The old lady pulls Wu Ke to her side. With a kind face, she takes out a jade pendant from her pocket and puts it into Wu Ke's hand. Chu Chen has a look at it and knows it's a jade pendant. But when he hears what the old lady says, he is speechless.

"Grandma, this multiple birth is not born when you want to!" Chuchen said with a bitter smile.

"It depends on your efforts." The old lady said with a smile.

Hearing this, Chu Chen said in his heart, "it's not something that you can work hard to do."

"All right! It's up to Xiaobao and their fortune! "

Chuzhengrong took out a very old pen from his pocket with a smile and put it into chuchen's hand. He said, "Xiaobao, I've treated you badly these years, and there's nothing good about me. This pen has been around me since I joined the revolution. I'll pass it on to you now!"

"Grandfather, this is your favorite. How can you give it to me?" Chuchen quickly declined.

"Why not?" Chu Zhengrong waved his hand and said, "I'm eighty-four years old, and I don't have many years to live. I'll leave it with you as a souvenir."

"Thank you, grandpa!..."

Chuchen also knew that the old man's temper was stubborn, and it was difficult to take back what he had decided. Finally, he accepted it respectfully. However, he was also determined to help his grandfather take good care of his body when he was successful.

"What a small family!"

Zhao murmured in a low voice. Then he took something out of his pocket and handed it to Chu Chen, saying:

"Xiaobao, I snatched it from a bandit before I joined the revolution! Back then, when I was fighting ghosts, the watch above helped me a lot. But because I didn't pay attention when I was fighting, there was some damage on it. "

When Chu Chen saw what he was holding, he was slightly surprised that it was a snuff bottle with broad enamel.

Canton enamel is a kind of metal body enamel technology in Lingnan. Its main method is to carve flowers on the metal body, paste gold and silver patterns, and then coat transparent enamel glaze.

This snuff bottle is made of copper with flat bottle shape and oval flat feet. The whole body is pasted with silver flowers, with translucent carmine glaze on the top, pearl inlaid in the middle on both sides, purse shaped light, and flowers painted in the middle. There are five strings of golden flower, green glaze and Pearl grape inlaid on both sides, forming petal pattern around the foot.

The bottle cap of snuff bottle is inlaid with clock and watch, white enamel dial, two needles, all Roman numerals, the watch cover can be opened and closed, with pearl inlaid around the side, copper cigarette spoon on the side, and gold flowers pasted on the top of the cigarette spoon and the edge of the cigarette bottle.

This kind of snuff bottles with clocks and watches is rare. Chu Chen has the impression that there are only two or three snuff bottles in the museum, all of which were tribute from foreign countries to the Qing government in the 19th century.

The value of snuff bottles like this is still very high. Although there are some surface damages, because Mr. Zhao has used them for most of his life, they have not affected their value, on the contrary, they have increased a lot.

Of course, unless Chu Chen has a problem with his head, how can he sell this snuff bottle? He's going to use the pen and snuff bottle as his family heirloom!

Later, Chu Chen quickly expressed his thanks to Zhao and his son

On the outside, the parents of both sides took out their already prepared gifts and gave them to the young couple. Although the gifts of both sides were not very expensive, they were all carefully selected. After all, it was an engagement ceremony, not a show off contest.

Next, there's a toast. Although there are not too many guests here today, there are plenty of people who can drink. Everyone's fighting power at the table is amazing. In addition, Chu Chen has blocked Wu Ke's drinking for countless times. Even with his strong constitution, he has fainted in the end.
