Chapter 375 Family Reunion Banquet
Reading Settings
You should know that her younger brother has never liked taking pictures since he was a child.
It's as if they have some kind of photo-shaming disorder.
It's a miracle that now people are not only willing to wear suits and take serious photos, but also willing to enlarge them so many times and display them outside for people to see!
Yan Liti hired as many as eighteen servants, plus more than twenty bodyguards, so she didn't need to hire anyone from outside for this banquet, as the people in the castle were enough.
Qiao Qiao put on a winter cheongsam that matched Yan Liti's with her own.
The little cheongsam is a modified version, with a cheongsam-style top and a pink, puffy skirt with white fox fur trim.
Colors like pink are notoriously selective in terms of who can pull them off.
If you dress well, you'll look beautiful and stylish.
If you don't dress well, you'll look dowdy and your skin will appear darker.
However, Qiao Qiao naturally didn't have these worries.
The little girl was so beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven. When Master Xu, Yan Liti's exclusive designer, first saw the little girl, he was amazed by her beauty.
If she hadn't known that Qiao Qiao was well-off, she would have wanted to snatch her away and have her work as a child model for her clothes.
What surprised Qiao Qiao was that not only did this Master Xu look exactly like the one in her dream, but even the clothes he designed and cut for her were almost identical to those she had seen in her dream.
The clothes in my dream were just a little too small.
Because of this, Qiao Qiao believed even more and accepted the possibility that Fu Yu had mentioned before.
"Qiaobao's Immortal Journey" is her first life, except that life was a book, a purely book-like existence.
The previous life was the second life, a second life changed by Shen Lu, the transmigrator, because she was familiar with "Qiao Bao's Immortal Path".
As for now, it is naturally the third incarnation.
The banquet was held in the main hall of the castle.
Two days in advance, the castle began purchasing all the necessary items.
Everything proceeded smoothly on the day of the event.
The Qiao family originally lived in the castle, so apart from them, the first people to arrive for the banquet were the Tan family of five and Grandpa Chang Zhongjie.
All six people attended in formal attire, even Tan Yan was wearing a suit jacket.
Dou Yufeng and Tan Qian wore pretty skirts underneath warm coats.
This was Dou Yufeng's first time visiting the castle, and from the moment the car entered, she felt like she couldn't take it all in.
They kept marveling at it.
"This is huge! How many rooms must there be?" Dou Yufeng exclaimed as she toured the castle.
Yan Liti held Qiao Qiao's hand with one hand and led Dou Yufeng and Tan Qian on a tour. Upon hearing this, she smiled and explained, "There are a total of one hundred and eight rooms."
Yan Liti's castle isn't the largest in Kyoto, but it's not small either.
The castle has a total of four buildings.
Besides the main building, there are three auxiliary buildings and a gatehouse.
The main building now houses not only their family of four, but also the Qiao family.
The servants' and bodyguards' rest rooms are all in the annex.
If she didn't have so many rooms, she wouldn't have been able to hire so many servants at once.
When the Qiao family first moved in, they were utterly astonished to learn that Yan Liti had hired eighteen servants for Qiao Qiao.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, the eighteen servants received different salaries and benefits because they were responsible for different projects.
Without exception, even the lowest wage starts at fifty.
Moreover, during her employment, she not only covered people's food, clothing, and accommodation, but also reimbursed them for medical expenses when they were sick.
When Qiao Xiaoyun found out, her face turned green.
She works herself to the bone all month, with overtime being a regular occurrence, and even with subsidies, she doesn't earn more than thirty a month!
She earned this through seniority!
As a result, Yan Liti hired a maid for her niece, and the starting price was fifty yuan! That was twice her salary.
Qiao Xiaoyun even considered quitting her job and becoming her niece's nanny!
Of course, Qiao Xiaoyun could only think about it this way.
She has her husband and her chubby son in Hongfeng Town. She can't let go of them, and even if she could, her coming here to work would be the real problem for Yan Liti.
However, what Qiao Xiaoyun didn't know was...
Actually, if she really came, Yan Liti wouldn't feel embarrassed at all.
On the contrary, she was eager for the Joe family to come and stay.
Although she has hired so many servants, Qiao Qiao has not allowed any of them to get close to her so far. Most of her affairs are handled by Qiao Changdong, Shen Qingyan, and herself.
She was naturally happy that another member of the Qiao family would help her take care of things.
The castle was too big, so they could only wander around a few places worth visiting. After they finished, the group returned to the main hall.
In the lobby.
Most of the Yan family members have arrived, leaving only the Wang family members who are still on their way.
Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan were entertaining guests.
Because they were all guests whom we trusted and were very close to, the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
The female guests were mostly gathered in groups of three or five, chatting, laughing, drinking, and eating.
On the contrary, the male customers were mostly gathered in one place, making a lot of noise, and they sounded a bit anxious and agitated.
"What are you doing?" Yan Liti asked.
The group of people gathered around the table all looked toward the door, but quickly looked away.
Only Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan walked away from the table.
Shen Qingyan walked over, picked up Qiao Qiao, and Qiao Changdong went to the other side to bring warm water and fed it to Qiao Qiao.
After drinking the water, Qiao Qiao lost the ability to walk on her own.
The little girl has been well taken care of by her family for the past six months. Even though Yan Liti looks young, it is still very tiring for her to carry the little girl, who is wearing winter clothes, around.
So when Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan weren't around, Yan Liti always held her hand.
However, this is only outside.
Once inside the house, Qiao Qiao basically lost all right to walk on her own.
She was either being held by Yan Lidi or carried around by her two fathers.
Qiao Qiao was picked up by Shen Qingyan, and her view was raised, allowing her to see clearly what the old and young men were doing in a circle.
They were playing chess.
Qiao Qiao stuck her little bottom out in Shen Qingyan's arms, and Shen Qingyan understood what she meant, so he picked her up and walked over.
Then Qiao Qiao blinked, looking slightly surprised.
She thought it would be a few old men playing chess, but instead, at one end of the chessboard sat Grandpa Tan, and at the other end sat Fu Yu.
Fu Yu's conversation with the old man?
This matchup is quite unusual!
