Cassius smiled from ear to ear and seemed to be looking forward to the wedding very much. He looked around at the people who were busy and said, "Such pomp is rare to been in the Qian family even if there is a wedding. Just the gold and jewelry used for decoration has already cost half of the money of the Qian family."
"As for the rest, the food, the cloth, the lighting, everything is of the highest standard. I felt distressed that my family has to cost so much money on the wedding."
Finn was curious. He hadn't noticed the decorations until he heard Cassius's introductions. The flowers and vases that have been decorated on the site were worth a lot of money.
The bridegroom must be from the same big family as the Qian family, otherwise the Qian family wouldn't have taken so many efforts in arranging wedding. Finn had several candidates in his mind, but he was not sure who the bridegroom was.
"Then the bridegroom must be from a noble family, but I haven't known who he was," said Finn again.
"He is indeed from a noble family. And his family has long been in touch with the Qian family. So the marriage would strengthen the relationship between us. If you have been to the southwest, you might have heard of them," Cassius said.
"Is it the Wu family?" Finn marveled, "That's really amazing. The Wu family in the southwest is really no less than the Qian family in the desert in terms of power. As far as I know, the Wu family has been developing well in recent years, and even has a tendency to develop in Tokyo."
Cassius laughed, "We don't care about that. But the youngest son of the Wu family has reached the age of marriage, and their senior arranged the marriage with us. It is a marriage between two famous families, so it is so extravagant."
"It costs a lot, but it only happens once. We don't want to be seen as mean."
Finn sighed. That was the tradition of the big families.
He congratulated Cassius, who had other things to do, so he didn't stay with Finn.
Finn walked around, and as he passed the living room, he saw Magnus sitting by the window, with a half-drunk bottle of wine in front of him.
Finn paused and then walked over. As soon as he sat down, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol coming from Magnus. It looked like more than the wine Finn had seen on the table.
"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Finn leaned a bit away from Magnus.
Magnus looked over at Finn with a drunken face and his eyes looked empty. He looked at the person for a long time before he recognized Finn, but he didn't want to talk to Finn and turned back to drink again.
Finn smiled. Since Magnus didn't want to talk to him, he would like to show around. It was rare to see such pomp.
"Do you know who is going to marry today?"
Finn was stunned. "I thought it was the youngest daughter of the family. Why? Does it matter to you?"
Magnus shook his head and said firmly, "No, it doesn't matter to me at all. And she has nothing to do with me."
He dropped his head on the table and shook it hard. He was so drunk now.
Finn laughed, "But I think you're probably drinking here because of her. Is she the most important person to you?"
As Finn said this, Magnus fell close to him. The stronger smell of the alcohol made Finn frown. He looked at Magnus in disgust, and put his fingers to his nose and did not push him away.
"There you go again!" Magnus was smiling sadly.
Finn took a wild guess, but he got it right. "I heard that she is going to marry to the son of the Wu family. There are many girls dreaming of that. Your beloved one is lucky."
Magnus shook his head. He could still hear Finn, who wondered if he was really drunk.
"The Wu family, the Wu family is nothing," he cried suddenly.
The people around immediately looked at them, which made Finn embarrassed, but fortunately they all knew Magnus, and no one approached.
