Li Yuanlang taught Gu Chuang his experience in playing with walnuts. When he noticed the Buddhist beads he was wearing on his right wrist, he couldn't help but shook his head and asked, "Cousin, are you wearing Buddhist beads?"

"Yes, I asked for this from the Great Lama of Yinghe Palace. Is there any problem with this?"

"There's nothing wrong with the beads themselves, it's the ones you wear that are wrong. The beads themselves are supposed to ward off evil spirits, but if you don't pay attention to the occasion and how to wear them, you not only lose the energy contained in the bracelets, but some people even wear the bracelets like handcuffs. This

Of course it is a very bad luck thing." Li Yuanlang said truthfully.

"Is it really as evil as you say? You won't lie to me, right?" Gu Chuang opened his eyes wide. Is Li Yuanlang making a fuss out of a molehill? Isn't he just wearing a string of Buddhist beads? Why is it so scary?

"Cousin, listen to me. When you are in a place where you are prosperous, or when you are participating in some festive and peaceful ceremonies, when you are visiting respected elders, or on important occasions when you want to get good luck and achieve good goals, you should wear the prayer beads on your left hand.

This can help you make further progress, take advantage of the situation, and smoothly increase your blessings. On the contrary, if you remove the Yin Qi, murderous Qi, and turbid Qi,

If you go to a place with heavy odor, or visit people full of negative energy, such as prisoners and drug addicts, you should wear the prayer beads on your right hand. This can help you ward off evil spirits, remove turbidity, and remove negative energy from your body. Today is

You are here to see your grandpa, and you are still celebrating the New Year, but you are wearing it on your right hand. Isn't it wrong and causing trouble for yourself?"

Gu Chuang sounded a little confused, but he felt comfortable wearing it on his right wrist. He didn't expect that there was so much knowledge about wearing Buddhist beads, so he couldn't help but asked dumbly: "Brother-in-law, are you a township cadre? How come you know everything?"

Li Yuanlang chuckled, pointed at his eyes and said, "I like reading and learning just like the old man, so I know a little more. It's that simple."

While the two brothers were talking, the three Gu family sisters and Shui Qingzhang came out of the house. The four of them were whispering to each other, and it seemed that they were discussing the engagement in the evening.

Gu Zhenggang was outspoken, but Gu Chuang was still lukewarm towards Li Yuanlang when he entered. Within a few moments, the two of them were chatting warmly, as if they had known each other for a long time. What kind of ecstasy soup did Li Yuanlang pour into Gu Chuang?

Shui Qingzhang was equally puzzled. The Gu family, especially the third generation, all looked at each other with their nostrils turned upward. They were always indifferent to the whole family. How could Li Yuanlang get involved with this rich dude in the blink of an eye?

Quite a hit with me.

Regardless of that, Shui Qingzhang called Li Yuanlang to another room alone to finalize the details of the engagement ceremony in the evening. In fact, it was nothing, just a family dinner together, and then Li Yuanlang proposed to Shui Tingyue.

Li Yuanlang originally planned to have a very romantic proposal ceremony, but after all, Mr. Gu is old and is not used to the things young people do nowadays. Besides, there are so many rules in this kind of deep house, so he had to follow Mr. Gu's intention and simply make the intention

Just show that you understand.

This is also Shui Qingzhang's idea. It seems that Li Yuanlang owes Shui Tingyue a romantic proposal ceremony, and he can only make up for it later.

Afterwards, Li Yuanlang simply drank some porridge in the small dining room. Before he put down his chopsticks, his sister Ye Qingrou and Wang Song arrived together.

I haven't seen my sister for a long time. I feel that she is much thinner than before, and her face has lost its former luster. However, she is in a good mood and has obviously gradually recovered from the sadness of her grandfather's death.

Wang Song was still so good at talking. Li Yuanlang was not polite to him. After meeting him, he punched him lightly and said half-jokingly: "Well, Wang Song, you don't even know if you don't tell me. You are Secretary Wang's son."

"Hey, brother, what's the matter? My dad is my dad, and I am me. There is nothing to promote. In fact, from the time I went to college to the time I work now, it is all due to my own efforts and has nothing to do with my dad."

Wang Song said very honestly.

"I believe this, but it is rare to find someone as low-key as you these days. My sister has you by my side, I feel relieved."

"Brother, I will be good to Qingrou now, in the future, and forever."

At six o'clock in the evening, in Mr. Gu's yard, there were two banquet tables in the large dining room in the east wing. The first table was Mr. Gu, his eldest son Gu Zhengchuan and his wife, his second son Gu Zhenggang and his wife, his daughter Gu Hongyan and his son-in-law Shui.

Qingzhang.

The other table is full of juniors, Li Yuanlang, Shui Tingyue, Gu Chuang and Gu Liuyan. There is also a boy in the third generation of the Gu family. His name is Gu Han. He is the youngest son of Gu Zhengchuan and the younger brother of Gu Chuang. He is currently serving as deputy director of a certain ministry.

Director.

Like Gu Chuang, Li Yuanlang's first impression of this cousin who was a little younger than everyone else was very unreliable. He was just thirty, and he didn't stand or sit with each other. He looked cynical. I wouldn't know if I didn't tell him.

He is a national cadre, and if he is deployed abroad, he will be at least the deputy county magistrate level.

Li Yuanlang remembered that Dong Yiwan, director of the Provincial Tourism Bureau, once mentioned the topic of the Gu family having no successors. At first, he didn't understand it, but now he understands it. The way Gu Chuang and Gu Han are doing it, it's hard to put it bluntly.

Yes, without the protection of the Gu family's wings, it would be difficult to achieve great things in society.

The food was put on the table. The dishes were very rich but not large. It was the first time for Li Yuanlang to eat at the old man's house, and the first time to enjoy a family banquet of a high-ranking person.

In fact, the dishes served for high-ranking officials are not much different from those at high-end banquets. They are exquisite. No matter what dishes are put on the table, each dish is exquisitely prepared, and you will be appetizing just by looking at it.

For example, a simple cabbage needs to be poured with boiled stock, and the yellow cabbage heart leaves and white cabbage are added to the crystal clear soup, and then garnished with a few wolfberry berries, and the dish is served immediately.

The grade is euphemistically called: boiled cabbage.

This is a dish that has been passed down at state banquets, so it is not surprising that it appears on the dining table.

Before the meal, Gu Zhengchuan stood up and said a few opening remarks on behalf of Mr. Gu: "Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. The whole family is gathered together to celebrate the Spring Festival, to wish my father a long and healthy life, and to express my wishes to our family.

It is also a particularly meaningful thing to talk about. Tian Ren is importing, Xiaoyue is getting engaged to Yuen Long, and there are three happy things happening tonight. I suggest that everyone raise their glasses and toast to these three happy things."

Li Yuanlang disagreed with what Gu Zhengchuan said about adding people to the country. What does it mean? Does it mean that I will be your son-in-law?

Even his sister Ye Qingrou glanced at Gu Zhengchuan at the other table with dissatisfaction, and it was Li Yuanlang who stabbed her secretly, hinting her not to act rashly.

After all, it is a happy occasion. Don't let it end unhappily because of an inappropriate word. After all, tonight is also your engagement event.

After drinking the first glass of wine, Li Yuanlang proposed to Shui Tingyue under the attention of everyone. He walked to Shui Tingyue and knelt down on one knee, and like a magic trick, a small red jewelry box appeared in his hand. After opening it, a shiny

The diamond and platinum ring is displayed in front of everyone.

Li Yuanlang had bought this ring a long time ago. The diamond was not very big, only 0.5 carats. Even so, it cost him three months' salary.

Shui Tingyue didn't expect that Li Yuanlang actually prepared a diamond ring for her. She knew that Li Yuanlang's conditions were not very good, but he spent all his money to buy her such a diamond ring. Suddenly her eyes turned red with excitement, and she covered her mouth and looked at him affectionately.

My sweetheart cannot help myself.

"Tingyue, because of you, I know that the sun is brilliant during the day; because of you, I know the moon at night is warm; because of you, I know that I am happy now; because of you, I know

How important I am. My dear, marry me! Let me take care of you all your life, and let us walk the journey of life together." Li Yuanlang grabbed Shui Tingyue's right hand, looked at her expectantly, and calmed down

Waiting for her reply.

"That's great." Ye Qingrou couldn't help but clapped her hands and encouraged Shui Tingyue: "Sister Yue, please marry him quickly."

Wang Song also immediately echoed, shouting "marry him".

Gu Chuang didn't say anything, while Gu Liuyan stared at Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue, feeling quite moved by the scene. She was already old and alone. She thought of her ex-boyfriend, who had promised her love, but he didn't.

Due to various reasons, the seven-year relationship finally ended without any problem. I couldn't help but feel moved and felt sad and uncomfortable.

The Gu family elders at the other table, including Mr. Gu, all smiled and looked at the lovers in a happy manner.

Shui Tingyue was deeply moved. It took her a while to suppress the ecstasy and excitement in her heart, and she nodded and agreed with tears of joy: "I do."

Bang bang bang, there was a burst of warm applause in the dining room. From the moment Li Yuanlang put a diamond ring on Shui Tingyue, he officially entered the Gu family and became a member of the family. And Shui Tingyue also changed from his girlfriend to his fiancée

.

"Let's all have another drink together to congratulate Tingyue and Yuen Long on their official engagement." This sentence came from Gu Zhenggang's suggestion.

After Li Yuanlang finished drinking, he took Shui Tingyue's hand and walked to another table. He toasted to Mr. Gu and the people present one by one, accepted the congratulations and expressed his gratitude.

At the same time, Gu Chuang at this table had a slight change in his attitude toward Li Yuanlang. But Gu Han came later, and his impression of Li Yuanlang was still that of a countryman, and he looked down upon him from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Ye Qingrou at the same time, Gu Han, the little beauty of the Ye family, had already had an idea. But Ye Qingrou didn't call him at all. The Gu family had mentioned this marriage before, but Ye Qingrou rejected it directly. Now look

When Ye Qingrou and Wang Song sat together sweetly, exchanging love with their eyes from time to time, Gu Han became angry. While drinking, he greeted Wang Song: "Hey, I say Wang Song, let's have a drink."

Wang Song didn't have a good impression of the second son of the Gu family. He knew that Gu Han had pursued Ye Qingrou. He was very unhappy with her provocative drinking style and stubbornly refused: "Gu Han, let's have a drink together."

What’s the name of the drink? You have to give a reason.”

"Reason, what reason? I just want to have a drink with you. You won't deny me this face, right?" Gu Han said angrily, holding his neck.

"It's okay to drink. But it depends on whether the wine is worth drinking."
