EBE Chapter 20 Toast
Chapter 20 Toast
She felt a little regretful that she had not asked her sister more before.
While Zhao Yang was daydreaming, his aunt came in again and said it was time for a toast and asked her to pack up and get ready to go out.
Guan Lei opened the closet and put on the dress her sister gave her.
The cheongsam style has long sleeves and the fabric is very drapey, which shows off your figure very well when you wear it.
Sure enough, as soon as she went out, she attracted everyone's attention.
Zhao Yang also felt honored, so he walked over and took her hand.
Zhao Yang is not tall, probably a little over 170cm. When she puts on 10cm high heels, they are almost the same height.
But because of the money filter, she felt that Zhao Yang was very tall, and she felt safe standing next to him.
"First, kowtow to the ancestors of the Zhao family. When we toast later, we don't need to arrange them according to seniority. Let's start from the table on the left." The old butler with a long beard said loudly, "There is no need to go into the house. Let's kowtow directly in the yard."
A teenage boy promptly brought the old felt pieces folded into large squares to the center of the yard and laid them out according to Whitebeard's instructions.
Zhao Yang immediately knelt on the side of the felt.
Guan Lei pulled the hem of her dress and wanted to kneel down, but the slit of the dress was a little low and a little tight at the knees, so she hesitated.
"Kneel down." Zhao Yang said in a low voice.
"This dress..."
"Oh, what are you afraid of? If you get it dirty, I'll buy you a new one." As he said that, Zhao Yang pulled her to kneel down.
The dress didn't tear, but Guan Lei's knee still felt a sharp pain.
She bit her lip to prevent herself from making any sound.
Rich people don't care about trivial matters, and Zhao Yang is just like that. She kowtowed with Zhao Yang and said to herself in her heart.
"Okay, after you've finished your kowtow, stand up," Whitebeard said, "and start toasting."
After Zhao Yang got up, he didn't help Guan Lei, but walked straight to the table on the left.
Wearing high heels and a tight skirt, Guan Lei put her hands on the felt and barely stood up.
She was a little angry. What kind of shabby clothes did her sister buy for her? It was not convenient at all. Was she doing it on purpose to embarrass her?
She walked over quickly and stood beside Zhao Yang.
The first table on the left happened to be occupied by some of Zhao Yang’s friends.
According to their local customs, those present during the toast can give the bride difficult questions, and only when their wishes are met can the bride successfully get the money for the banquet.
These people usually take pride in telling all kinds of obscene jokes, so now that they have encountered such a good opportunity, how could they not show it off?
"This is Liu Xianglong, one year older than me. He is my sworn brother, and we call him Brother Long." Zhao Yang pointed to the man sitting next to him and introduced him to Guan Lei.
The man put away his cigarette and grinned, revealing his yellow teeth.
Just the lustful look he gave her made Guan Lei feel uncomfortable all over.
Seeing the big yellow teeth at this moment, she really wanted to vomit.
"My sister-in-law is so beautiful, and has a great figure, with curvaceous curves. My brother Zhao Yang is so lucky."
Everyone at the table burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, is Brother Long envious?"
"Brother Long, have you drunk too much? How can this be considered a feast? This is Brother Zhao's wife, can you really eat her?"
"Isn't it just a delicious treat? What do you know, little brat?"
All kinds of obscene language were used, which was disgusting, but no matter whether it was the guests at other tables or the host who served the dishes and wine, everyone seemed to be used to it and just laughed it off.
Guan Lei's face turned red.
In her previous life, when she married Gu Errong, she also toasted and met people who gave her problems, but she had never met someone so outrageous and disgusting!
She didn't know what to do and looked at Zhao Yang.
Who knew Zhao Yang said calmly: "Brother Long, tell us what you want quickly, the others are waiting."
"Me." Liu Xianglong took a deep puff of his cigarette, extinguished it, patted his thigh, and said, "I want my sister-in-law to sit on my lap and light a cigarette for me."
"How can this be possible?" Guan Lei couldn't help but say.
"It won't work in the future, but it really works today." A bald man next to Liu Xianglong smiled obscenely and said, "Sister-in-law, you are still a girl now, too shy. After tonight, hehe, you will become a woman..."
Everyone started laughing and cheering again, and some even whistled.
Guan Lei really wanted to pick up a glass of wine and splash it on his face.
For a moment, she regretted it.
But it was just a moment.
Just bear with it, it's just this one hurdle for today, you just have to pass it.
She comforted herself in her heart.
"Leilei, go and light a cigarette for Brother Long." Zhao Yang said lightly.
Guan Lei felt as if she had been struck by lightning and could not believe her ears.
Her husband actually let her sit on another man's lap and light his cigarette?
Probably because he saw that she was slow to move, Zhao Yang felt that he was being humiliated in front of his friends, so he urged her again.
At this time, Zhao Mei couldn't bear it any longer. She came over and said, "Sister-in-law is young and timid. Today is her big day. You came all the way here to bless her and brother. Don't make it too difficult for her. Just let her stand and light a cigarette for you, okay?"
"Since my sister-in-law said so, there's nothing I can't do. Let me light a cigarette."
Guan Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Mei walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "Sister-in-law, this is how it is at wedding banquets here. Every woman has to go through this. Just grit your teeth and bear it."
Is it really like this?
I guess her sister Guan Youshuang doesn’t think so.
Guan Youshuang was so happy at this moment.
In the original book, Gu Errong's colleagues did not actually come to the wedding, but just sent a representative to give him a gift.
But this time, more than a dozen people came to the bureau and sat at two tables. There were three or four leaders alone, and they were at the level of deputy directors.
Because of the presence of these leaders, the villagers did not dare to let themselves go and could not make excessive demands on the bride. They could only follow the leaders' example and let Guan Youshuang toast them and be done with it.
Of course, there are also some people who do not take their leaders seriously, such as Chen Wei, a second-rate guy in their village.
Chen Wei is short in stature and has never been married in his 40s. He is an old bachelor and is keen on talking about matters between men and women.
Whenever there was a happy event in a family within a ten-mile radius, he would go to join in the fun.
He smacked his lips and boldly made a request that almost made Guan Youshuang vomit blood. He asked Guan Youshuang to kiss Gu Errong's father Gu Yunliang!
This is actually a common prank at rural weddings, and most brides will do it.
But before Guan Youshuang could refuse, Gu Errong glared at him and told him not to make trouble.
"How did this become a nuisance? Errong, ask your dad if your sister-in-law kissed him at the wedding? Guys, do you think I'm right?"
Seeing that Gu Errong's face had turned cold, everyone wisely said that it was not the case and advised Chen Wei to change his request.
But this idiot might have drunk too much. He raised his wine cup and said, "What's the matter? What kind of memory do you have? You don't remember what happened eight years ago? At that time, Ruyi's wife hugged her father-in-law's neck, it was so affectionate!"
