    Although Chu Chen really wanted to see what was inside the jug, it was definitely not convenient to check at this time. So after Zhu Dafu and Zhao Xueyi came in, he could only calm down and stand with Wu Ke.  Greet guests at the door.  Zhou Wenping and others also came next. When the group saw Chu Chen's villa, they were very surprised. Although they also knew that Chu Chen was very rich, the security of this community aside, the size of the villa alone was  They were shocked.  When they walked into the courtyard and saw the small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard, they were filled with admiration.  When they entered the villa and saw the guests sitting in the room, many of whom were both rich and poor, especially the older generation revolutionaries sitting at the main table, they suddenly became cautious, but  Their hearts are also full of longing for the future. Are they afraid that they will have no future when working with a boss like Chu Chen?  At the same time, Zhao Qirui¡¯s family of three and A Chao also arrived.  Zhao Heyan wrinkled her nose and said: "Dad, you are serious. That Mercedes-Benz is several years old. You don't know how to replace it with another one. It breaks down halfway. Isn't it embarrassing?" "I said you girl, you have  It's over, keep mumbling, if you tell me again, I'll beat you up!" Zhao Qirui said viciously, but if you look closely, you can see that he is just pretending.  ¡°It¡¯s my responsibility that the car is not well maintained.¡± Ah Chao said embarrassedly.  "Okay, okay! Don't talk about this!" Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said: "In the final analysis, it is because the quality of the parts replaced last time was not up to standard, but this car has been driven for several years, and it is time to replace it.  Ah Chen, how about we buy one together? " "I already have a car!" Chu Chen waved his hand.  "One car is not enough! Don't you need Xiaoke?" Zhao Qirui said: "And my sister's car has been driven for a long time. Let's replace it together." "Uncle, I still have to go  I'm studying in England. Isn't it a waste to buy a car now?" Wu Ke said quickly.  "That's right!" Zhao Qirui nodded: "Then let's give my sister another car first. What do you think, Achen?" "Okay!" Of course, Chu Chen would not have any objections to this matter.  "When can I buy a car?" Zhao Heyan muttered.  "Children, let's wait until you graduate from college to decide which car to buy!" Gao Yiya glared at Zhao Heyan.  "Ah! It will take several years!" Zhao Heyan wailed.  "If you call again, you'll have to pay the fare yourself!" Gao Yiya said with a straight face.  As soon as Zhao Heyan heard that she had to pay for the bus herself, she immediately flattered her mother, making everyone else chuckle.  "Achen, this is my gift to you! See if you like it!" Then.  Zhao Qirui smiled and handed the box in his hand to Chu Chen.  Chu Chen opened the box. What he didn't expect was that inside the box was not an antique calligraphy and painting, but a real estate certificate and a bunch of keys. This made him a little surprised. He raised his head and asked, "This is it?"  "Some time ago, I happened to see a courtyard house for sale. The price was quite suitable, so I bought it." Zhao Qirui replied with a smile.  "Siheyuan?" The people around were extremely curious after hearing this.  Then Chu Chen opened the real estate certificate and looked at it. Wu Ke immediately exclaimed: "The area is 5,300 square meters?" "There is also a basement, which makes it nearly 5,500 square meters!" Zhao Qirui laughed.  Liu Sizhe and the others suddenly took a breath of cold air at such a big courtyard.  Even based on their relationship, the value must be more than 40 million. The key is that even if they are rich.  Such a large courtyard house is also very easy to buy.  "Uncle, your gift is too valuable. I really can't accept it!" Chu Chen waved his hand and wanted to return the real estate certificate to Zhao Qirui.  "You kid. What's so valuable about this? Tens of millions are nothing to you!" Zhao Qirui glared at Chu Chen, waved his hand and said, "Also, the things I gave away have never been returned.  There is no reason why you haven't returned it, you are being so pretentious, don't worry, I will be angry!" Seeing his uncle say this, Chu Chen had no choice but to accept it, but what made him feel a little embarrassed was what to do with that courtyard house, is that all?  Empty?  That would be too wasteful. If he wanted to move to a courtyard, he would be reluctant to part with this villa, and Mr. Liu lived not far away, so he could visit and ask for advice frequently.  "Thank you, uncle and aunt!" Zhao Qirui nodded with a smile, and then said: "By the way, because that courtyard house is in disrepair, I think I have to tear it down and start over again, but you can only trouble yourself!" "This  It should also beWell!  "Chu Chen said with a smile. Since the courtyard is going to be demolished and rebuilt, let's make a decision at that time whether to move or not.  Welcoming Zhao Qirui's family into the living room, Chu Chen and Wu Ke welcomed a few more guests, basically  The guests were almost all here. Because it was just an engagement, the people who came this time were mainly Chu Chen's relatives and some friends. In addition to people from the master's sect, there were also a few colleagues of his father, who happened to be sitting in the living room.  It¡¯s full. When it comes to engagement and wedding ceremonies, apart from being a little simpler, the rest are pretty much the same. It¡¯s just that for a family like Chu Chen, generally speaking, it¡¯s best to choose a Chinese-style ceremony, whether it¡¯s an engagement or a wedding.  , Of course, in comparison, Chu Chen also prefers Chinese etiquette. However, Wu Ke is a girl after all, and she still prefers ceremonies full of romantic undertones. For this, Chu Chen can only say sorry to her and wait until then.  Let's have a romantic honeymoon! "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the engagement ceremony of Mr. Chu Chen and Miss Wu Ke" At 11:58 noon, the engagement ceremony officially began, and Chu Chen and  Although Wu Ke, the newcomer, had rehearsed for a while yesterday, they started to get nervous when they arrived at the scene. Then, like puppets, the two of them followed the host's instructions step by step. Finally, they waited until the newcomer gave instructions.  The fathers of both parties served tea, and this relatively Chinese-style engagement ceremony was completed. After the ceremony, several respected elderly people were invited to a specially set up table in the back room, and the atmosphere immediately became lively. "Come on, you two.  Come in too" Chu Zhengrong waved to the two of them. Chu Chen and Wu Ke quickly followed in. "This is for you. When you get married, it's best to have multiple twins!  " The old lady pulled Wu Ke to her side, took out a jade pendant from her pocket with a kind face, and put it in Wu Ke's hand. Chu Chen took a quick look and knew it was a piece of Yi Zi Sun Pei, but after hearing what the old lady said,  He was immediately speechless. ¡°Grandma, these twins were not born just because they wanted to!  "Chu Chen smiled bitterly. "Then it depends on your efforts!  "The old lady said with a smile. When Chu Chen heard this, he was speechless and said in his heart: "It's not something you can do just by working hard!  "    "alright!  This matter depends on Xiaobao and the others!  " Chu Zhengrong smiled and took out a very old-style pen from his pocket, put it in Chu Chen's hand and said: "Xiaobao, I have wronged you these years. I don't have anything good around me. This one  The pen has been with me since I joined the revolution, and I am passing it on to you now!  " "Grandpa, this is your beloved thing, how can you give it to me!  "Chu Chen quickly declined. "What's wrong with this!  "Chu Zhengrong waved his hand and said: "I am already eighty-four, and I don't have many years to live. I will keep this thing with you as a souvenir!  " "Thank you, grandpa!  " Chu Chen also knew that the old man had a stubborn temper and it was difficult to take back his decision, so he finally accepted it respectfully. However, he also secretly made up his mind that when he succeeds in his studies, he must help his grandfather to take good care of his body.  . ¡°What a petty person!  Mr. Zhao muttered in a low voice, then took something out of his pocket, handed it to Chu Chen and said: "Xiaobao, I took this thing from a bandit before I joined the revolution!"  I remember that the watch on this helped me a lot when I was fighting Japanese soldiers.  But because I wasn't careful during the battle, there was some damage on it.  "Chu Chen was slightly surprised when he saw what he had in his hand. It turned out to be a snuff bottle with Western Guangdong enamel. Guangdong enamel is a kind of metal body enamel craft in Lingnan. Its main method is to engrave flowers and apply decorations on the metal body.  This snuff bottle is made of gold and silver and is coated with transparent enamel glaze. It is made of copper and is in the shape of a flat bottle, with an oval and flat base.  The middle is inlaid with pearls and is in the shape of a purse. Flowers are painted in the middle. The two sides are decorated with gold flowers, green glaze and five bunches of pearls and grapes. The snuff bottle has a petal pattern around the top and is inlaid with a clock. It has a white enamel dial and two hands.  , full Roman numerals, the cover can be opened and closed, with pearls inlaid around the edge, a copper spoon on the edge, and gold flowers on the top of the spoon and the edge of the mouth of the tobacco bottle. There are not many snuff bottles with clocks handed down from generation to generation. In Chu Chen¡¯s impression, the museum is the best.  There are only two or three pieces among them, all of which were presented as tributes to the Qing Dynasty from abroad in the 19th century. Snuff bottles like this are still very valuable. Although there are some damages on the surface, because Mr. Zhao has used them for most of his life, they have no impact.  Its value, in turn?It has added a lot of value.  Of course, unless there is something wrong with Chu Chen¡¯s mind, how could he take out the snuff bottle and sell it? He is planning to treat the pen and snuff bottle as family heirlooms!  Afterwards, Chu Chen quickly expressed his gratitude to Mr. Zhao and his son.   When they got outside, the parents of both parties took out the gifts they had prepared and gave them to the young couple. Although the gifts from both parties were not very expensive things, they were all carefully selected. After all, this was an engagement ceremony, not a wedding ceremony.  Contest to show off your wealth.  Next, it¡¯s time to toast. Although there are not too many guests here today, there are many people who know how to drink. The fighting power of everyone at the wine table is amazing, and Chu Chen is blocked by Wu Ke again.  After drinking countless times, even with his powerful physique, he felt a little dizzy in the end.  (To be continued)
