539, annual reception (23 more)
So in the next two days, all major families were actively preparing.
The New Year's reception is scheduled for January 6th, which is three days after receiving the invitation letter.
The invitation letter states that the heads of each family and their families are invited to attend, so the female family spent two days buying a suit and taking care of it.
The men were all focused on choosing gifts. For this first meeting, the masters also tried their best to be the first in giving gifts. Fortunately, the governor and his wife felt a lot of affection.
In order not to be compared by other aristocratic families, the masters of the great masters tried their best to collect treasures everywhere, and how they were expensive.
——
January 6th, National Government.
For this New Year's reception, the entire house was decorated, and of course the focus was on the backyard.
Although it has always been called the backyard, this backyard is actually just a general term, not that there is only one yard in the backyard.
In fact, the backyard is wider than the front yard. Zeling and his wife live in the main courtyard of the backyard. In addition, there are several courtyards of all sizes in the backyard.
The venue for this New Year's reception was set in the courtyard close to the small garden. There was a corridor between the two, so they were arranged together.
In this way, the area of the venue will be wider and the space for guests to play will be wider.
Earlier, Qin Yiling, the flower in the small garden, had been taken care of by people, planted with all kinds of beautiful flowers, and added a beautiful landscape to this cool winter.
There are fruit and pastries on the stone table in the small garden. It is worth mentioning that Qin Yiling also specially placed a phonograph in a corner of the small garden, playing melodious classical music.
In an instant, the entire small garden became more elegant and also filled with a different kind of fun.
As for the courtyard, Qin Yiling directly designed it as a Western self-service afternoon tea party, because the time for inviting everyone this time is set from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Originally, she wanted to arrange it in the evening to make it into a dinner, but Yan Ze rejected it. If you don’t have a good rest in the evening, what party will you do? And if it’s not cold in the winter night?
As a wife slave, Yan Ze did not want his wife to suffer at all.
Therefore, this New Year's Eve was set up as an afternoon tea party. Of course, Qin Yiling still made people prepare a lot of meals.
The entire courtyard is surrounded by flowers and green leaves, and the colorful tones make the entire courtyard brighter. The surroundings are decorated with pink and blue ribbons. When you walk into the courtyard, you will feel a springy feeling.
Around the courtyard, Qin Yiling also made people specially install heating panels, which exuded heat all the time, so that the entire courtyard felt a strong warmth.
Since it is to shock Rongcheng's "local snake", Qin Yiling of course has to show off, otherwise how can he demonstrate the majesty of the National Government?
Anyway, there is also a research institute under the name of the National Government, plus an industrial technology department. These are all engaged in industrial research and development. Besides, there are not many people who know about it, so there are loopholes to borrow.
Anyway, more high-tech industrial products will appear in the future, so now you might as well shake everyone first.
On both sides of the courtyard, two long wooden tables were placed, decorated with beige floral tablecloths, with two high-mouthed vases on them, and the branches spread outwards.
The two large vases are placed on the dining table, which are much taller than any object, so they look very eye-catching, but not abrupt at all, but have an extra sense of elegant style.
On the dining table, there are many exquisite foods, snacks, fruits and nuts. There are red wine bottles that look very expensive on the other side of the long table.
Why does it look expensive?
That's because the red wine bottle is not placed directly on the dining table, but on two wooden racks, which seems to be designed specifically to hold the red wine bottles.
Many rich families have also drunk red wine, but they have never seen such a way of fiddling with red wine.
After fiddling with it like this, it gives people a very high-end feeling, and naturally it feels that the price is more expensive.
Secondly, there is another reason. Red wine has now entered the Chinese people's attention. It is just because foreigners raise prices that the prices of foreign wine are generally high.
The red wine placed by Qin Yiling was filled with two wooden lattices, and there were more than twenty bottles, which did not include spare ones.
Of course, these red wines are indeed high-quality red wines, specially prepared by Qin Yiling.
Although many people don’t know how to taste red wine at all, and most of the time they just want to follow the crowd, even so, she doesn’t want to fool people with some defective products, and instead loses her own value.
In addition to red wine, some cocktails and champagne were also prepared, followed by juice and tea.
Under the surrounding eaves, small round tables and chairs are placed so that everyone can rest or sit and talk.
Finally, a small stage was built opposite the courtyard, decorated with flowers and wooden screens, and a banner was also put on the top of the stage: the year-end cocktail party to celebrate the New Year together.
At this time, in front of the wooden railing on the stage, the performers were playing folk instruments, and melodious music slowly filled the entire courtyard.
In order to add a touch of ethereal stage effect, Qin Yiling specially made a smoke machine and spread out from the flowers behind the stage.
The white mist is misty, like a mysterious fairyland.
Outside the courtyard, a long red carpet was laid, and a sign-in place was also placed on the red carpet.
A high wooden frame set up a background wall, surrounded by dark red curtains, and then light-colored flowers are dotted around it.
Every guest who arrives first presents an invitation letter to the staff to verify their identity, and then writes his name on the sign-in wall.
At the same time, a videographer was specially arranged at the sign-in place to take photos for each guest.
Qin Yiling dared to guarantee that this move would definitely scare all guests.
Walking the red carpet, signing, taking pictures...
Wouldn't such a scene make people feel that they are the focus of attention?
The effect she wants is that the scene is large, the situation is in a strife, the novel and unique way of attending can definitely shake their little hearts and satisfy their vanity.
At the same time, the National Government's attention to every guest can be demonstrated from the side.
——
At one o'clock in the afternoon, two female officers from the Propaganda and Liaison Department stood at the gate in decent clothes to welcome all the guests, which was also to express their welcome attitude of the National Government.
Today's New Year's reception was not a private banquet for Ze Ling and his wife, but was mainly held as a public official of the National Government, so it was not the home court for the couple.
