Chapter 734
The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. This was rare good weather on a cold winter day.
Beijing, Xue family.
At this time, red lanterns were hung on the lintels of the entire Xue family, as if it was a festive occasion.
Today is the day when Xue Rumeng, the young lady of the Xue family, and Tang Hao, the young master of the Tang family, get engaged. According to the custom in the capital, the engagement is on the woman’s side and the man is on the man’s side for marriage. Therefore, all the guests gathered at the Xue family today!
Xue Rumeng's beauty has long been heard in the capital, so being able to get a woman like Xue Rumeng as a wife is considered a big honor for the upper class in the capital.
In recent years, the power of the Xue family has not been as great as before, but the strength of the Xue family cannot be underestimated.
The Xue family, headed by Schrödinger, the third eldest son of the Xue family, has become increasingly prominent in the political world, while the Tang family is prosperous because of the support of the Li family. If it were not for Mr. Zhou being saved by Qin Muran and not dying, I am afraid that at this time
The Tang family has replaced the Zhou family and become one of the seven new major families in the capital.
Ever since the Tang family experienced the eldest son Tang Chuan having his hamstring broken and becoming a cripple, his younger brother Tang Hao took advantage of the situation and became the first heir, becoming the center of attention of the entire Tang family!
The rise of the Tang family is already unstoppable, not to mention that behind it is the Li family, which ranks among the top seven families in the capital!
In recent years, because of Li Haoran, the Li family has also reached great heights.
Qin Muran's departure allowed Li Haoran, a Chi You man, to monopolize power in Yanhuang. With Li Haoran, the Li family was promoted step by step and was involved in military, political and commercial affairs.
The first family, the Qin family, keeps a low profile and the Wei family doesn't offend me, and I don't offend others, resulting in the formation of an invisible network with the Li family as the center!
Today is an engagement feast, rather it is a party for the Tang family to test who is the one they can win over.
The older generation of the Xue family also went out together to send out wedding invitations. All those who could be named in the capital have been invited out. However, because Li Haoran is currently outside on a mission, the Li family only sent out a congratulatory gift.
, as for the people, they were not present.
As the current pillar of the Xue family, Schrödinger naturally had to be present on such an important day!
As a rising star in politics, his future prospects are limitless.
At this time, he was wearing a suit and standing at the door, greeting the guests with a smile on his face!
"Uncle Xue, why are you greeting me at the door in person?"
Not far away, Tang Hao, who had just stepped out of the car, saw Schrödinger at the door and quickly walked up and apologized.
"Haha! Xiaohao, today is your special day! Third uncle, I am very happy!"
Schrödinger looked Tang Hao up and down. When he thought that the Li family behind Tang Hao had helped him a lot in his promotion, Schrödinger was determined to tie the Xue family and the Tang family together.
"Uncle Third, not only am I here this time, but my grandfather is also here today!"
Having said this, Tang Hao stepped aside and saw an old man in Tang suit stepping out of the car behind him.
"That girl Rumeng is engaged to our Xiaohao. As a grandfather, why should I come and enjoy this joy?"
Tang Yunfei looked at Schrödinger with a smile and said.
"It is our Xue family's honor that Mr. Tang can come to the front door of my Xue family. We can only ask for it!"
Just an engagement was not enough to seduce Tang Yunfei, the old man of the Tang family, but now, Tang Yunfei came in person. This shows how much he loves his grandson, and at the same time, it also gave the Xue family a lot of help.
Face!
I think back then, Tang Yunfei was considered a powerful figure in the capital. Even though he is old now, his legend is still circulating in the capital!
"Haha, from now on, our Tang family and your Xue family will be in-laws, so we must have friendly relations!"
Tang Yunfei smiled and said.
"sure!"
Schrödinger nodded repeatedly, but his heart was already filled with joy.
Accompanied by Tang Hao and Schrödinger, they helped Tang Yunfei from left to right and walked into the Xue family's inner house.
In the Xue family, Xue Rumeng's room, a lot of people gathered at this time.
"Rumeng! Please put on your makeup quickly, otherwise the guests will arrive soon, and if you don't go down, our Xue family will be a little rude!"
Xue Rulu sat aside, looking at Xue Rumeng who was sitting motionless in front of the makeup mirror, and said with some urging.
"What does it have to do with me that they are here? Sister, you know, I don't like Tang Hao, and I don't want to be a mediator for the Xue family and the Tang family to unite! Become a bargaining chip for their friendship!"
Thinking of being deceived by her mother and then having to compromise for various reasons, Xue Rumeng really regretted it. If she had known this, she would have hardened her heart and stayed in Zhonghai and never come back. This would not happen now.
thing!
Coincidentally, just when Xue Rumeng said such words, Xue's mother walked in and happened to hear her words. A trace of displeasure suddenly flashed across her face and she said: "Ru Meng, it's already like this, why are you still talking about this? Is it difficult?
No, are you just looking at the Xue family like this?"
"Mom, we are all daughters of the Xue family. Why can my sister have her own love, but why can I only become a tool of the Xue family? Just because she is my uncle's daughter?"
When Xue Rumeng saw her mother, she immediately poured out all her resentment.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Who are we doing this for? Isn't it for your own good? Do you think we don't want you to marry the person you love? But now we are forced by the situation. Look at your grandpa, he is not in good health.
I don’t know how long I can last, he loves you so much, why can’t you help him once?”
Seeing that Xue Rumeng's attitude was very tough, Xue's mother, as expected, brought up Mr. Xue to talk things over as usual.
"It's not that the Xue family can't live without the Tang family. I'll say it again! I don't want to marry Tang Hao!"
Xue Rumeng said firmly.
"Really? Can you not marry if you don't want to? Xue Rumeng, you think too highly of yourself! Now that things are like this outside, you tell me that you won't marry? Do you want the entire capital to look at our Xue family?
Is it a joke? Let me tell you, our Xue family cannot afford to lose such a big person!"
At this moment, a sneer came from outside the door, and then, a woman wearing a cheongsam and dressed up in a fancy dress came over.
Zhang Qin, Uncle Xue Rumeng’s wife!
"Haha, using my marriage as an excuse to win over a group of people, you are really making a plan!"
Xue Rumeng had a look of disgust on her face when she saw Zhang Qin.
If it weren't for the fact that her uncle was quite nice to her when she was young, she would have already broken up with this powerful aunt!
"Xue Rumeng, don't be ungrateful! There are countless people in the entire capital who want to marry into the Tang family! You have such an opportunity but don't know how to cherish it. You really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings!"
Zhang Qin said with some irritation.
"Haha! What a blessing! If you think it's a blessing, you can marry yourself. I see it through and I don't want to marry!"
After saying that, Xue Rumeng stood up suddenly and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
Zhang Qin roared angrily when he saw Xue Rumeng's move.
"none of your business!"
After Xue Rumeng finished speaking, she walked towards the door, but she found that at some point, two strong men in black suits had appeared at his door, blocking her way.
"I want to leave, let's see who dares to stop me!"
Xue Rumeng's eyes were firm and his face was extremely gloomy.
"Haha! Who dares to stop you? Your third uncle has long known that you might change your mind, so just in case, he sent them to watch you!"
Zhang Qin put his hands on his chest and looked at Xue Rumeng proudly.
"It's hard for you to fly in the Xue family today!"
Behind her, Xue Rulu looked at her sister like this, so helpless, but her heart ached involuntarily.
If I was in the same situation as Xue Rumeng back then, how could I be better off?
"If I insist on leaving, let's see who can stop me! I don't want to get married, and no one can force me!"
Xue Rumeng said, trying to break out without believing in evil.
However, she really underestimated the ferocity of her third uncle. For the future of the Xue family and for his own future, he must send Xue Rumeng to the door of the Tang family!
