At this moment, Qin Sheng finally understood why those big families advocated family marriages throughout the ages. It was no wonder that there were those famous families that had existed for hundreds of years. It was because only family marriages could continue the vigorous vitality of a family. Common interests and common goals made them become a solid block. Of course, this was only one of the ways. The other way was to continue to cultivate outstanding younger generations. Only in this way could a family become more and more powerful, instead of gradually declining.
Otherwise, even if there was a layer of protection of family marriages, the power of the family would gradually decline, and the strength of the marriage partner would gradually weaken. In the end, the family would disappear in the long river of history. Otherwise, how could there be so many families that were very powerful at the beginning, and even the marriage partner was a good match, but in the end, they all disappeared.
What the Qin Family knew about the marriage between Qin and Song was only their own interpretation, because the Qin Family knew their own situation better than anyone else. However, the outside world did not know many things, and often over-interpreted it. In the end, there was a result of information asymmetry.
For example, at this moment, because the Qin Family knew that neither the Song Family nor the Zhu Family would directly help, nor would they interfere with Qin Changan's affairs. In the end, what they wanted to do was to let the Qin Family settle down smoothly, such as safely withdrawing from Chang 'an. However, the outside world might think that Qin Changan might be safe because of the help of the Zhu Family and the Song Family. That was why the current situation happened.
When Gongsun came to report the news, Qin Sheng was preparing backstage. The emcee had already gone on the stage and was saying the opening speech to warm up the scene. At the same time, he thanked his relatives and friends who came to today's engagement party.
After listening to Gongsun's report, Qin Sheng said thoughtfully, "I can understand Sixth Uncle and the others, but I don't understand the others. They are really here to join in the fun." The timing was really good. They sent the gifts after the four big families had arrived. They must have been prepared for a long time, and only needed to confirm the news to send the gifts.
Gongsun said calmly, "I have checked the gifts they sent. There is no danger, and they all look very expensive. Now I have asked someone to put them in the lounge, and arranged for someone to take care of them. After the engagement party is over, you can go and have a look when you have time."
"Okay, I got it. Uncle Gongsun, you have worked hard. Now there is nothing else, please take a seat," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
Before Gongsun left, he patted Qin Sheng's shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous later."
After Gongsun left, Song Ruyu walked over slowly. Several makeup artists had just touched up her makeup. She asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Qin Sheng smiled and explained, "It's nothing. Some friends sent some gifts. Uncle Gongsun told me and I asked them to send them to your place. They are probably some jewelry and so on. Anyway, I don't need them."
Song Ruyu held Qin Sheng's arm. Nowadays, this kind of intimate action was getting more and more casual. She laughed and said, "Why did you send it to me? Have you forgotten that I'm a public servant? I don't usually have the chance to wear these things. Besides, it's not safe to send them to me. You'd better keep them. Courtesy demands reciprocity. If you want to give them to others in the future, you don't have to spend money anymore. "
Qin Sheng touched Song Ruyu's hair and said with a smile, "You're right. Let's leave it at home first. We'll move it to the wedding house later. It seems that it's important to have a diligent and thrifty wife." He was becoming more and more unscrupulous with his bold actions. Fortunately, Song Ruyu didn't care about it anymore.
Song Ruyu glared at Qin Sheng, thinking that all kinds of charm were just so-so.
At this time, the staff reminded Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu that it was time for them to appear. When they walked to the exit, they heard the host say, "Let's welcome our prince and princess today with the warmest applause and cheers."
The applause outside was thunderous. Everyone was not stingy with their applause. The young people took the lead in cheering. Among them, Zhu Jiayou was the most excited. Of course, Song Ruyu's cousins also cheered. The elders were very reserved. After all, most of them were in high positions and were relatively low-key.
Qin Sheng muttered in a low voice, "Why does it sound like a wedding?"
Hearing this, Song Ruyu smiled slightly. To be honest, she also thought so. After all, this engagement party was so grand and important, and the Song family took the Qin family's opinion as the main priority.
When Song Ruyu held Qin Sheng's arm and appeared on the stage, this pair of golden boy and jade girl, who everyone thought was a perfect match, completely ignited the atmosphere of the audience. Everyone present was the parents of the two children.
Everyone present was a direct relative of the two children. How could they not be excited, happy, and gratified? Therefore, the cheers and applause were even more enthusiastic.
Even the staff present applauded and cheered for them sincerely, because this was a real match made in heaven. In the simplest words, the beautiful married the handsome, and the rich finally got married.
Standing on the stage in front of so many relatives, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu just smiled. However, they looked a little nervous and restrained. Although they were well prepared, they were still a little nervous when the moment came.
When the host signaled for them to stop applauding and cheering, everyone was chatting in low voices. They were all praising Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu. Song Ruyu's relatives praised Qin Sheng, and Qin Sheng's relatives naturally praised Song Ruyu. In the end, everyone was very happy.
Lin Xi and Wang Li were two of them. Lin Xi and Wang Li did not expect that they would be arranged to sit at the main table, because this table was occupied by the most distinguished guests of the two families. Needless to say, Old Master Song and Old Lady Zhu, followed by Song Ruyu's parents, Zhao Anzhi, and Qin Ran. Even Zhu Weiguo and Zhu Changshun could only sit at the second table next to them.
In the beginning, Lin Xi and Wang Li were very nervous, especially when they saw Song Ruyu's grandfather. Lin Xi was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped, because this old man's identity was so special. Almost every time there was a big occasion, he would be seen on the screen. Moreover, the old man was often surrounded by leaders. He did not expect that Song Ruyu's grandfather was actually this old man, and he did not expect that he could sit at the same table as this old man.
Of course, when he knew that this old man was Song Ruyu's grandfather, Lin Xi understood everything. No wonder Qin Sheng had no choice, because he really had no choice.
The host had already met the two newlyweds and was already impressed by their appearance and temperament. People born in big families were indeed different. He smiled and said, "Prince and Princess, please say hello to everyone."
The hostess brought the microphone over. Qin Sheng held it and said slowly, "Hello, grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunties."
Song Ruyu was simple. She smiled and said, "Hello, everyone."
The host teased, "It seems that we are a little nervous with the prince and princess."
"Are you nervous?" the host asked.
Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu looked at each other, and Qin Sheng motioned for Song Ruyu to answer first.
"A little nervous," Song Ruyu said obediently.
Qin Sheng said half-jokingly, "It's my first time. How can I not be nervous?"
Hearing this, the audience burst into laughter. Old Lady Zhu said angrily, "You brat, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Young people are always like this," Old Master Song said happily.
The host almost couldn't catch it. He wanted to ask Qin Sheng how many times he wanted to do it, but this was not an ordinary family, so he could only say, "Once is enough."
Then he quickly changed the topic. Then the host asked a lot of other questions. Song Ruyu's answers were relatively simple and obedient, while Qin Sheng always made people laugh. The audience was full of laughter. Even Song Ruyu almost laughed out loud. Correspondingly, they were not nervous anymore.
Finally, the host set the stage. He looked at Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu and said, "I've said what I should say. Now it's your turn. Do you have any sincere words to say to each other?"
This time, Qin Sheng also wanted Song Ruyu to say first, but Song Ruyu insisted. Qin Sheng didn't think much about it. He picked up the microphone and said, "First of all, allow me to thank everyone for your support. Without your support, Ruyu and I would not be where we are today. Secondly, I want to thank my grandma, who loves me the most. Grandma, thank you for waiting for me for so many years. Sheng 'er, you have been waiting for me for a long time."
After saying that, Qin Sheng looked at Old Lady Zhu and bowed deeply. Hearing this, Song Ruyu hurriedly bowed to the old lady.
Qin Sheng had already thought about it long ago. He had to thank his grandmother.
Old Lady Zhu's eyes turned red when she heard the grandson she loved the most say such words in front of everyone. Qin Ran, who was sitting next to the old lady, hurriedly handed her a tissue. The others were also moved.
Qin Sheng stood up and continued, "Secondly, I want to thank my adoptive parents. Since my grandfather brought me to Xi 'an, my adoptive parents have been taking care of me. Without them, I might not be who I am today. So I want to thank them. Uncle Lin, Auntie Wang, thank you.
”
After saying that, Qin Sheng looked at Lin Xi and Wang Li and bowed again. Song Ruyu naturally followed suit.
Lin Xi and Wang Li were also moved by Qin Sheng. It did not occur to them that Qin Sheng would pay so much attention to them and thank them on such an occasion. Since Qin Sheng had returned to the Qin Family, they felt like their son, whom they had raised for many years, had been taken away. Because of the Qin Family's family background, Lin Xi and Wang Li always felt that Qin Sheng would gradually stay away from them. Now, they finally felt relieved because they had not raised this son in vain.
The Qin Family and the Zhu Family were clear about what had happened between Qin Sheng and the Lin Family, but the other two families did not know. Now that they finally understood this, they could not help but feel deep respect for Lin Xi and Wang Li. At the same time, they felt gratified by Qin Sheng's gratitude. They were most satisfied with Qin Sheng's behavior.
Old Master Song and the elders of the two families could not help nodding.
After Qin Sheng stood up, he continued, "Now I want to thank my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Thank you for cultivating such an excellent daughter. Thank you for your trust in me. Thank you for handing her over to me. I, Qin Sheng, will definitely not let you down."
After that, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu bowed again. Song Ruyu's parents were also very moved. They could not help but tear up, because their daughter had chosen the right person. They believed that Qin Sheng would make their daughter happy.
I know many people think that I don't deserve you because you're so beautiful and outstanding. Even I think so. I don't know what promise I should make to you, but I know that I won't let you suffer any grievances or hardships in this life. I'll try my best to make everyone think that I don't deserve you. Thank you, everyone. "Song Ruyu's eyes lit up, and she looked at Qin Sheng and said affectionately," Finally, I'd like to thank you, Ruyu. Thank you for meeting you. Thank you so much for meeting you and marrying you. I know that many people think that I don't deserve you because you're so beautiful and outstanding.
Qin Sheng's words were very affectionate and sincere. Everyone was moved by Qin Sheng's words. Many people's eyes turned red. They were happy for Qin Sheng and gratified for Song Ruyu. Even Song Ruyu listened to him with tears in her eyes.
At this time, the host said, "I guess all of us are moved by the prince's words. How can such a prince not deserve the princess? At least I think you two are a match made in heaven. Now, what do you want to say to the prince?"
Song Ruyu picked up the microphone. She did not express much gratitude. She just said lightly, "Many of you may be wondering why I agreed to marry Qin Sheng. Many people don't understand why I chose Qin Sheng instead of so many people over the years. It's not because the Song family and the Qin family are old friends, but because there are some stories that you don't know. When I was a child, I met a little boy who was always smiling. Every time he saw me, he would bring me a stick of candied haws. Every time there was something delicious, he would give it to me first. He would smile and wait for me to finish eating. He would take me out to play secretly and buy all kinds of delicious food for me with his pocket money. Every time someone bullied me, he would hold my hand tightly and stand in front of me without hesitation. He would kiss me secretly and say that he would marry me when he grew up. There were many other things in my childhood. Although I didn't know anything at that time, those things were left in the depths of my memory. However, one day, I suddenly lost him. No one bought me candied haws anymore. No one took me out to play anymore. No one protected me anymore. I asked my mother where he was. She said that he had gone to a faraway place. I thought he didn't want me anymore. I cried secretly many times. However, I firmly believed that he would come back one day. Then he would walk up to me with a firm smile and say gently, 'I'm back and I'm here to marry you.' I've been waiting and waiting. I thought he would never come back. I thought he went to a faraway place and went to heaven. Because of this, I was sad many times. Just like that, I waited for more than 20 years. When I was almost 30 years old, I finally waited for him. He didn't break his promise. He finally came back. And this time, I don't want to lose him again. "
This was the story of the prince and the princess. This was the first time that Song Ruyu had revealed her true feelings. Song Ruyu finally gave the answer that everyone had been waiting for. This was a story that belonged to Song Ruyu alone. This was also a scene that Qin Sheng had not expected.
Not to mention Qin Sheng, all the people present were moved to tears after hearing Song Ruyu's words. No one said a word because they were all shocked. Many women were so moved by Song Ruyu that they kept wiping their tears. No one had expected such a story to happen.
As for Qin Sheng, he was already stunned and looked around blankly …
