The little girl is the daughter of Yan Jiyun's fifth aunt. She is only ten years old this year, which is the age when she is innocent and innocent. Lai looked at Yan Jiyun with a smile in his arms: "Brother is so handsome... Yesterday, my brother sent me to the school gate.

, the female classmates in our class met my brother...one of them even said she wanted to be his girlfriend...hehehe..."

"Girlfriend?" Yan Jiyun's handsome face twitched slightly.

"Hehe... Who makes my brother so good-looking? I also want to find a boyfriend as handsome as my brother!"

"You are only ten years old..." Yan Jiyun was helpless. Children nowadays must have matured too quickly.

Xinya pouted: "There are several couples in our class, but I haven't found a boy I like yet."

"Okay, okay, when Xinya falls in love with someone, remember to tell your brother, and he will treat you to ice cream."

"Okay!" Xinya clapped her hands happily. She loved ice cream the most, and only Yan Jiyun would take her to eat it. Her parents would only say that she would gain weight after eating ice cream and would not let her eat it.

The childish laughter drove away the awkward and dull air in the room, and it was time for dinner.

An energetic old man walked downstairs, dressed in a brown silk Tang suit, with gray hair but a ruddy complexion. He was calm and powerful, domineering, and the wrinkles on his face were also traces of his vicissitudes. He was Yan Hongzhang.

The appearance of Yan Hongzhang made the living room quiet. Everyone stood up and looked at him respectfully, including Xiao Xinya, who huddled obediently in Yan Jiyun's arms.

"Everyone is here, let's eat." Yan Hongzhang's simple words were slow and powerful, showing the demeanor of the head of the family.

A dining table that could accommodate more than twenty people was filled immediately. Yan Hongzhang sat at the head table, Yan Jiyun sat on his left. Yan Zui sat on his right, and the others sat down in order according to seniority, without any deviation.

In the Yan family, even eating is based on seniority. This is a family rule. A family rule passed down from the ancestors. Yan Jiyun is the most powerful person in the family besides Yan Hongzhang, so he sits on the left. And Yan Zui is in the company.

His status is second only to Yan Jiyun, so he sits on the right side.

The Yan family is a strict family. Although this is an enlightened era, one has to abide by certain rules when one is born in the Yan family. This has been cultivated by everyone in the family since childhood and is passed down from generation to generation.

The table was filled with delicacies, but no one moved their chopsticks first because Yan Hongzhang hadn't spoken yet.

The atmosphere was very serious, and even those who had previously ridiculed Yan Jiyun all maintained polite attitudes and expressions.

Yan Hongzhang looked around the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Yan Jiyun. Seeing that he had a calm and indifferent expression, which seemed a bit out of place with everyone, Yan Hongzhang frowned slightly: "Everyone, use your chopsticks. The chef has made a few new dishes today. What do you want to try?

Sample."

After the old man spoke, others began to eat. Very few people spoke during the dinner. Even if they did, they would only praise the deliciousness of the dishes in a low voice without making any noise. And everyone seemed to have been trained to eat, politely and gently.

, Chew slowly. You won't see anyone's chopsticks reaching to the other side of the plate. They will consciously only pick the side of the plate facing them.

To drink soup, you can only use a spoon to scoop it into your own bowl. You cannot put your chopsticks into the soup bowl to stir it.

Servants are always on hand. Food that needs to be cut with knives and forks in the middle of the table will be cut by the servants and put into their bowls. They will not get up to do it themselves. They must maintain etiquette and elegance at all times.

During the dinner, Yan Hongzhang would ask everyone present about their work and study status, and report back to those who were asked. Yan Jiyun felt that this was more like a family dinner than a company report meeting... He could not feel the warm and harmonious atmosphere.

, only cold and boring.

He was reserved and uncomfortable, so Yan Jiyun was very disgusted with such a family banquet in his heart. He immersed himself in eating food, planning to leave after a while. He really couldn't stand this dull atmosphere, and he would rather go back to his residence and cook a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach.

…

The Yan family was used to such family banquets. Just before finishing the meal and leaving the table, Yan Hongzhang spoke again.

"I asked you all to come back for dinner today because I have something important to say... about the marriage of Yan Jiyun and Yan Zhui. You are all elders. If you have any ideas or if you have a suitable candidate, feel free to put it forward." Yan Hongzhang
