Qi Xiaoyu's surprised appearance made Cao Zhen feel inexplicably happy.
It seems that my idea is not wrong.
Qi Xiaoyu is now, so what if she becomes Miss Ning's family, didn't she still grow up in the countryside?In the countryside, it would be nice to be able to eat enough and not go hungry every day. How can I have extra spare money to learn this and that?Let alone dancing.
In the words of the country people, dancing is something that is fancy but not useful.
What's really going to happen, can dancing be enough or nothing?So, even if the country people are really rich, it's not uncommon for their children to learn this. What's more, Qi Xiaoyu's adoptive parents, Cao Zhenzhen, know a little bit about the situation through Ning Mengzhi, and the other party doesn't care about this picked-up daughter. Being friendly, naturally she would not let her have the opportunity to learn to dance.
But the children of extended families are different.
What they pay attention to is versatility. Although they are not as proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as the children of the ancient people, dancing is a compulsory course!
And Qi Xiaoyu has just returned to Ning's house not long ago, how can he have the time to study dancing?It's not bad if you can learn etiquette and rules in a big way and don't make mistakes at the banquet.
Therefore, Cao Zhenzhen was sure that Qi Xiaoyu would not know it, and even if he could, he must be very unfamiliar!
"That's right, Miss Ning, I invite you to dance." Cao Zhenzhen was afraid that Qi Xiaoyu would go back on his word, so he repeated it quickly.
dancing
Qi Xiaoyu seemed to think of something, a flash of memory flashed in his eyes.
She looked at Cao Zhenzhen, and suddenly smiled: "Dancing, I don't think it's necessary, right?"
"How can it be unnecessary? It is very necessary!"
Cao Zhenzhen saw that Qi Xiaoyu wanted to refuse, and hurriedly said: "Miss Ning, this banquet is held for you, right?"
Seeing Qi Xiaoyu nodded, Cao Zhenzhen said again: "You are the protagonist of the banquet, and you are also the host. There is no reason to let the guests dance. You should watch from the audience?"
Seeing Qi Xiaoyu nodded again, Cao Zhenzhen said again: "Miss Ning, your dress is really very beautiful. When I saw it suddenly, I felt amazing. Wearing such a gorgeous dance dress, if you can't dance , What a pity! I think the other guests present must also want to see Miss Ning's dancing posture."
"I can not dance."
Qi Xiaoyu told the truth.
Cao Zhenzhen was even more excited when he heard the words, he can't dance, okay!I'm afraid you can dance!Didn't his wishful thinking come to nothing?
Cao Zhenzhen decided to make persistent efforts: "Miss Ning, what you said is wrong! Uncle Ning, Aunt Ning, should have told you about today's banquet, right? How could uncles and aunts not be prepared for such an important occasion? For a while, didn’t the Ning family invite a dance teacher? Isn’t this unrealistic? Even if you can’t dance a dance that is too difficult, you should be able to do a simple transaction dance, right? I don’t believe it, the dignified Miss Ning family, You can’t dance. I think the guests must not believe it either!”
"You really want me to dance?" Qi Xiaoyu frowned.
Cao Zhenzhen shook his head: "Miss Ning, I didn't ask you to dance, I wanted you to dance. Even if I didn't come out and mention this to you, someone else would invite you. You refused once, twice, and thrice. , Is it still possible to keep refusing? If this is the case, the guests can't say anything, and they may not know how to arrange you in their hearts!"
"Then how will they arrange me?" Qi Xiaoyu asked curiously.
Cao Zhen really thought: How do they arrange you, how does she know?However, in order to lure Qi Xiaoyu off the dance floor, she could only tell lies with her eyes open: "Miss Ning, dancing at a banquet is an unwritten custom that has been handed down unchanged for many years in the big families. Although There is no rule, everyone must dance, but as the host, in order to show your hospitality or win the friendship of other families, this dance is very necessary!"
"You mean, I have to dance this dance?" Qi Xiaoyu asked with raised eyebrows after listening to Cao Zhenzhen's nonsense narration.
Cao Zhenzhen nodded: "Yes, I must dance."
"If you don't dance, will you be said to be unenthusiastic, unhospitable, and impolite to other guests? It will even affect the relationship between families?" Qi Xiaoyu asked again.
Cao Zhenzhen nodded his face: "That's right, that's right."
"Well, since you insist, then I can only—"
Qi Xiaoyu was halfway through speaking, just when Cao Zhenzhen thought that he had persuaded her to dance, but he heard the other party suddenly shouted in one direction of the banquet hall: "Meng Yu, come to me!"
Ning Mengyu and Yun Lan were eating together in a corner of the hall, when they heard Qi Xiaoyu's voice, they rushed over with Yun Lan: "Sister, do you want to call me?"
Ning Mengyu asked directly.
Qi Xiaoyu kept Cao Zhenzhen in his hands: "Miss Cao just told me that as the host, if you don't dance a song at this banquet, you will be said to be unenthusiastic and inhospitable. Everyone will think that this banquet held by our Ning family A banquet is not sincere. Meng Yu, I just returned to the family not long ago, so I don’t know much about these things. Tell me, is that so?”
After hearing Qi Xiaoyu's words, Ning Mengyu's eyes flashed deep surprise, and he looked at Cao Zhenzhen in amazement: "Miss Cao? Why haven't I heard of such a rule?"
Cao Zhenzhen's face turned pale. It's okay to fool Qi Xiaoyu with her words, but Ning Mengyu is a serious young master. He has been trained since he was a child, so how could he be fooled by his own words?
She really didn't expect that Qi Xiaoyu would find her younger brother to confront her on the spot!
He scolded Qi Xiaoyu thousands of times in his heart, but he stammered back: "I may have misremembered."
"Can you still remember this kind of thing wrong?"
Next to him, Yun Lan looked at Cao Zhenzhen suspiciously: "I've never heard of it, you will offend people if you don't dance."
Cao Zhenzhen said stubbornly: "You are not from a big family, how do you know?"
Yun Lan snapped back rudely: "Even if I'm not a child of a big family, I know that it's a personal freedom to dance or not! What does it mean to force the master to dance? Don't you know an idiom called "Guests do as they please"? Or are the current guests so arrogant?"
After saying these words, Cao Zhenzhen was speechless, she could only look at Qi Xiaoyu: "Ning Mengxue, just say a word, do you want to dance this dance? If you really don't want to dance, then I don't want to dance." Way. I don't have the right to force you, do I?"
Qi Xiaoyu took a deep look at Cao Zhenzhen, and suddenly lifted the hem of her skirt: "Whether I want to dance or not, I have to dance now. Cao Zhenzhen, is this your purpose?"
As she spoke, she motioned the people around her to look around.
It turned out that at some point, the place she and Luo Qi were in was surrounded by people on the inner, third and outer floors, and even when Qi Xiaoyu finished saying this, the people around booed one after another: "Jump!" Branch! Jump one!"
"We haven't seen Miss Ning's dance!"
"I remember that Miss Ning from before, she danced so beautifully! By the way, why didn't I see Miss Ning at today's banquet?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's because the family doesn't let it go! Didn't you see that the Leng family didn't attend this banquet?"
"When you put it that way, I really noticed a little difference. It seems that no one came to the Jiang family!"
"And the Cao family."
"Brother, please open your eyes wide to see, isn't that the daughter of the Cao family!"
"So what if we come! The Cao family is no longer among the four families."
"That's true. That is to say, the Lengjiang family didn't buy into the banquet held by the Ning family this time? They also think too highly of themselves? You know, although the Ning family is weak now, they have not fallen out of the four major families. In the rankings, who are they looking down on by doing this?"
"Who knows! Maybe it's because she doesn't like Miss Ning who has returned to the family."
Qi Xiaoyu listened to the discussions of people around him.
No one from Leng's family came, it was because their company's business had problems, they were too busy to take care of themselves, how could they have time to attend the banquet of Ning's family?As for the Jiang family, they had no friendship with the Ning family at all, so it didn't matter much whether they came or not.
When this banquet was held, my father had already anticipated this situation. Even if no one from the three major families came, it would be fine.At least, their purpose of holding a banquet has been achieved.
Everyone in the world knows that the Ning family has an extra real lady, and that's enough!
As for outsiders' speculation about using the daughter who returned to the family to get married in order to get support from her family——
Ning Zhengping said: Are you kidding me?How long had his daughter been home?How could he be willing to marry her off so soon?As for marriage, it is even more impossible!
The daughter already has someone she likes. How could he, a father, do such a thing for the benefit of the family?Unless, the object of marriage with the daughter is the daughter herself likes, then it is a different matter.
There are more and more people around.
Seeing that Qi Xiaoyu hadn't moved for a long time, those guests who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal began to get impatient, and each of them said loudly like a gong: "I said Miss Ning, isn't it just a dance? As for this Twitchy?"
"That's right! Is it not bad to dance well? It's really a waste of this dress!"
"Isn't it? This Miss Ning puts on such extravagant clothes as soon as she returns to Ning's house, Ning's will really slap fat people with swollen faces!"
"Why don't you say it's this Ning Mengxue who, relying on Patriarch Ning and Mrs. Ning's love, tormented the little family property left by the Ning family?"
"Hey, reincarnation is also an art! If I were the daughter of the Ning family, I would definitely abide by my duty and never ask for such things beyond my normal ability!"
"Actually, it's not that it's not good for her to wear this dress. The point is that she is a girl who returned to the family for nothing, and she didn't make any contribution. The money from the Huo Huo Ning family, even if it is her parents' money, I despise her too! Although the dress on me is far inferior to the one on her, I bought these with the money I earned from part-time jobs during the summer vacation, and I didn't rely on my family at all!"
"Yeah, what a prodigal! Whoever marries such a woman will probably need gold and silver to pay for it."
"Which family dares to let her be so rambunctious! Even a big family can't afford to be extravagant! How expensive is it to wear such a dress! I think the Ning family's expectations this time may be in vain. Everything is reversed." If you don’t understand the basic principles, that’s enough.”
The people around spoke more and more undisguisedly, and more and more people gathered, and even alarmed Ning Zhengping and Mu Xinxue.
"Ma'am, something seems to have happened to Xiaoxue's side. Most of the customers are women, so it's not convenient for me to go there. Go and have a look."
Ning Zhengping was worried that Qi Xiaoyu would deal with so many people alone, so he specially asked Mu Xinxue to speak in a secluded place.
Mu Xinxue was also worried about her daughter: "I'll go over and take a look. If it's not a big deal, I'll help solve it by the way."
"Aunt Mu!"
As Mu Xinxue said, she moved away from the crowd, and just a few steps away, she suddenly heard someone greet her. She turned her head and saw a tall, handsome person walking towards her, wearing a light silver evening dress with sequins The skirt wrapped the slender figure, and there was an indescribable gracefulness when walking.
"Zhang Wen!" Mu Xinxue greeted her with a smile on her face, and warmly held the other's hands, "You are willing to come. If Xiaoxue knows that you are coming, I am afraid that she will be so happy that she will be lost!"
A smile appeared on Zhang Wen's face.
It seems that my idea is not wrong.
Qi Xiaoyu is now, so what if she becomes Miss Ning's family, didn't she still grow up in the countryside?In the countryside, it would be nice to be able to eat enough and not go hungry every day. How can I have extra spare money to learn this and that?Let alone dancing.
