Chapter 150: Eighty Birthdays
Of course, Xiao Yat didn't know all this.
After taking Concubine Ya to find his parents, Xiao Yi casually found a reason and slipped away to the backyard.
At this time, the servants of the Xiao family were busy preparing for the banquet.
In the backyard, there was silence.
Xiao Yi took out a box of cigarettes and put them in his mouth, but he didn't light them.
I don't know what to start with, but he likes the taste of nicotine more and more.
Putting away the cigarette case, Xiao Yat began to look at the surrounding environment.
I have to say.
This old mansion is really big.
At a glance, Xiao Yi couldn't see the end.
It's just that this backyard is full of flowers and plants.
There is also an octagonal pavilion in the very center.
At this time, an old man in a white practice uniform was hanging a fish in the octagonal pavilion.
This old man's identity is not simple!
Xiao Yi muttered, thinking that instead of dealing with those nasty people outside, it was better to watch this old man catch fish.
As Xiao Yi walked in, the old man was also alert.
However, after he saw Xiao Yi's appearance clearly, he gave up the urge to call people, and chuckled: "What's the matter? It's not lively outside, you have to watch me an old man fishing." ”
Xiao Yi pursed his lips and replied angrily: "Old man, you catch your fish well, I will leave when I see it;"
Geezer?
Hearing Xiao Yi's name for himself, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "That's right, I'm really an old man." ”
"Hey, old man, don't be swaying, the fish are scared away. ”
Soon, the old man stopped laughing, but his eyes stayed on Xiao Yi's body.
Xiao Yi was a little impatient by the old man's scrutiny, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know that you are the old lady of the Xiao family, but I don't want to do anything shocking to arouse your idea, because I don't care about the affairs of the Xiao family." ”
Yat is not a fool!
This backyard is obviously the important place of the Xiao family.
But an old man dressed so cleanly sat here, leisurely, leisurely fishing.
Obviously, there is a lot of success!
Eighty years old, noble status!
With a little inference, the identity of this old man can be deduced.
But Xiao Yat did not pretend not to know the identity of the old man.
Then talk to him to get his attention.
Are you kidding!
The property owned by Xiao Yi can't be compared even if the ten Xiao families combined.
Is it necessary for him to play these little tricks?
After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Old Lady Xiao was stunned.
Originally, I just thought there was an ignorant junior in the backyard.
But who would have thought that this kid would be so clever.
Wrong!
Not only clever, but also arrogant!
Old lady Xiao looked at Xiao Yi carefully, and after he found that Xiao Yi really didn't seem to care about his identity, a trace of surprise flashed on his face.
You must know that his sons fought to the death for the Xiao family's family business.
How can there be a person who doesn't care about the Xiao family's family business?
Perhaps guessing the doubts in Old Lady Xiao's heart, Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Anyway, there are only the two of us here, I'll tell you the truth, there are many more industries outside my country than your Xiao family, do you think I will intrigue with others for your little industry?"
"Hehe......"
Old lady Xiao didn't believe that Xiao Yi's industry was more than that of the Xiao family.
But I couldn't find a rebuttal, so I could only use the word 'hehe' to express my mood at this time.
Xiao Yi heard Old Lady Xiao's sneer, but he didn't care.
Instead, he stared at the fishing rod.
Looking at the sinking fish drift, Xiao Yi couldn't help but exclaim: "Old man, a fish has been hooked, hurry up and close the rod." ”
Hearing Xiao Yi's urging, Old Lady Xiao did not immediately pull up the hook, but said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you have to be patient when fishing, I have enough material to let the fish under the water take the bait." ”
Xiao Yi heard another meaning in Old Lady Xiao's words, and pouted: "Old man, don't always look like you're winning, how many old foxes have been planted in the hands of young hunters. ”
When Old Lady Xiao heard this, she didn't care.
Wait until the fish float has completely fallen to the surface of the water, and then put the rod away.
But what Mrs. Xiao didn't expect was that he couldn't pull the fish up this time.
Looking at the empty fishing rod, Old Lady Xiao sighed: "You are right, how many old foxes have been planted in the hands of young hunters. ”
It's just that after Old Lady Xiao finished speaking, he found that there was no more Xiao Yi around him, and sighed in a low voice: "This kid has the same temper as his grandfather!"
The Xiao family's compound is very lively!
The main line of the Xiao family can be regarded as a wealthy family in Linjiang.
Mrs. Xiao has a wide range of friends.
His eightieth birthday.
Naturally, it can be regarded as very lively.
Xiao Yi didn't know when he slipped in front of Concubine Ya, and asked in a low voice, "Why hasn't it started yet?"
Although I promised my parents, I will definitely come to participate in this birthday.
But after meeting Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Yi didn't want to stay here any longer.
When Concubine Ya heard this, she immediately guessed what Xiao Yi thought in her heart, and gave him a roll of the eyes: "Big family, there are naturally many people invited, you just have to wait with peace of mind." ”
At this moment, Concubine Ya has turned into a well-behaved daughter-in-law and started to take care of everything for Xiao Yi.
For example, just now, Xiao Yi's parents asked Xiao Yi where he went more than once.
But they were all blocked by Concubine Ya.
Of course, Xiao Yat didn't know all this.
At this time, he was looking at the guests in the courtyard.
It is also strange to say that Xiao Yi knows most of the guests in this courtyard.
Han Feng, Su Chen, Li Taibao...
Even, Concubine Ya's father, Zhao Li, is there.
Looking at Zhao Li in the distance, Xiao Yi leaned into Concubine Ya's ear and reminded in a low voice, "Have you ever said hello to your father?"
Feeling the manly breath rushing to her face, the roots of Concubine Ya's ears turned red all of a sudden.
She slightly distanced herself from Xiao Yi, and said with a red face, "My dad doesn't know I'm here yet." ”
Get!
Later, if Zhao Li saw Concubine Ya, he would definitely be embarrassed again.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi also had the idea of hiding if he could, and didn't look around.
I don't know how long it took, but a figure came out of the backyard.
If you take a closer look, it is the old lady Xiao you have seen before.
It's just that Old Lady Xiao has changed into a Tang costume now, making his whole person look radiant, and he doesn't look like an eighty-year-old man at all.
As soon as Old Lady Xiao appeared, everyone present quieted down.
Those present were either Old Lady Xiao's friends or Old Lady Xiao's back.
Today is naturally to give enough face!
Seeing this scene, the people of the main line of the Xiao family nodded with satisfaction.
Although over the years, the main lineage of their Xiao family has been much more low-key in Linjiang.
But the deterrence that has been built up over the years still exists.
After Mrs. Xiao sat down on the Taishi chair, someone immediately sang: "Fanzhou Li family, congratulations to Mrs. Xiao on her 80th birthday, and give a pair of thousand-year-old pearls." ”
"The King of the West Sea, congratulations to Mrs. Xiao on her 80th birthday, and send a pair of 10,000-year-old corals. ”
"Bohai Zhao family, congratulations to Mrs. Xiao on her 80th birthday, and send a picture of a lady. ”
The people present are not small characters, and the congratulatory gifts will naturally not be bad.
Among them, the most precious is the gossip map sent by the Wu family in Cangzhou.
Xiao Yi heard that this picture is already a national-level cultural relic, with a value of more than 30 million.
