Chapter 29: The Birthday Banquet with a Big Long Face
A few days later, Ye Gu's birthday arrived.
Early in the morning, Ye Lingyue changed into a light blue brocade dress under Liu's mother's Zhang Luo, embroidered with orchids of the same color, and her black hair was also braided into a wishful bun, which looked lively and bright, very pretty.
Under Ye Lingyue's repeated insistence, Ye Huangyu also agreed to attend the birthday banquet, and reluctantly dressed up and applied some fat powder.
When Ye Huangyu came out, Ye Lingyue's eyes widened.
In her opinion, her mother's complexion has improved a lot since she drank Baiguo wine, and when she dresses up today, she looks even more white-skinned, and her eyes are tactful, like a hollow valley orchid.
Mother Liu looked at the mother and daughter, crying with joy, since the little lady became smarter, the young lady also had a smile on her face.
God, I finally didn't abandon the poor mother and daughter.
Ye Lingyue pulled her mother-in-law Ye Huangyu, took Xiao Squeak, and came to the main hall to pay respects together.
Due to the birthday of the head of the family, the Ye family is also a new one, the word "longevity" is posted everywhere, the lanterns are hung high, swaying in the wind, the pine and cypress are planted all over the courtyard, the wedding banquet is set up ninety-nine tables, and a special singing troupe is set up.
Today's birthday star Ye is lonely like a jujube, dressed in a birthday robe, a pair of eyes, and full of energy, and is at the door, greeting the guests.
As soon as the mother and daughter of the Ye family appeared, the originally lively courtyard quieted down.
The two mothers and daughters are both beauties, and walking together is the icing on the cake and attracts the attention of many people.
"Those two are, when did such a sign come out in Qiufeng Town?"
"It's Miss Ye San and her daughter, I didn't expect today's birthday banquet, and their mother and daughter also attended. ”
"Could it be that she was the famous one in Qiufeng Town back then, then the one next to her was not the ...... of the Great Xia Hongfu"
The discussion of the guests more or less drifted to the ears of Ye Lingyue's mother and daughter, Ye Lingyue was about to listen carefully, only to feel that the body of Ye Huangyu, the mother next to her, stiffened, and a pair of beautiful eyes glared fiercely at the mouthy guests.
Several guests hurriedly silenced, in the Ye family, words related to "that family", even if they are homophonic, cannot be mentioned.
"Third sister, you're here...... Ling Yue also came. Ye Huangyun saw Ye Huangyu's mother and daughter, and nodded incessantly.
Although Ye Gu didn't say anything, the corners of his eyes drifted in the direction where Ye Huangyu's mother and daughter were from time to time.
"Yo, no wonder I got up early this morning, and I saw the magpie in front of the door screaming, it turned out that the third sister was here. "Ye Huangcheng, who is in the fourth room of the Ye family, came over with a group of family members.
Ye Qing's four brothers, including Ye Qing, were all well-dressed, and when Ye Qing saw Ye Lingyue, he glared at her fiercely.
Ye Huangcheng walked in front of Ye Gu and saluted respectfully, holding a gift box in his hand.
"Father is on top, and Phoenix City will bring a family to you to celebrate your birthday. As he spoke, he handed over the gift box in his hand.
As soon as Ye Gu opened the gift box, he saw a fist-sized piece of dark iron in the red silk box, the surface of the black iron was smooth, and there was a layer of beautiful silver light flashing on the surface.
"Fifty percent purity of Xuan Tie?" Ye Gu showed joy on his face, this piece of Xuan Iron sent by Ye Huangcheng was the first time that the Ye family had refined it over the years, and the purity was as high as fifty percent.
If there is fifty percent of the black iron, it means that the status of the Ye family's iron ore has risen by another layer, which is great news.
"Yes, father, this piece of dark iron was refined by the quarryman of the mine for three days and three nights. Ye Huangcheng's face was proud, compared with Ye Huangcheng's big gifts, the birthday gifts of the other men of the Ye family were insignificant.
All of a sudden, the edge of the birthday banquet was robbed by the four rooms of the Ye family.
The guests are almost here, and the birthday gift is like flowing water, and it is sent over.
"Third sister, where is your gift? Father's birthday, everyone has prepared a birthday gift, third sister, you won't come empty-handed, right?"
Ye Huangcheng suddenly opened his mouth and pointed the finger at Ye Huangyu.
Gift, Ye Huangyu was slightly stunned, she was persuaded by her daughter, and she came in a hurry, not to mention, she really didn't bring a birthday gift.
"The fourth uncle is really good at laughing, and of course my mother has prepared a gift. This pot of wine was specially prepared by my mother for my grandfather. Ye Lingyue answered smartly, with an extra jade wine jug in her hand.
This "grandfather" shouted brightly and sweetly, and it was so sweet that it was in Ye Guxin's eyes.
Under Ye Gu's eyes, a suspicious flash of water flashed.
This is Ling Yue's girl, the first time to call him grandfather, Ye Lingyue saw the cheap grandfather turn his head sideways suspiciously, and wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
"Okay, Ling Yue is really filial, and she knows that her grandfather is a good wine. Ye Gu hurriedly took the pot of wine.
Ye Lingyue had already inquired, and her cheap grandfather didn't have any big preferences, but he was very fond of wine and weapons.
The Ye family also specially built a wine cellar and a treasure pavilion.
"It's just a jug of wine, it can't be bought from a restaurant in town. Ye Huangcheng snorted, a pot of wine is just half a tael of silver at most, and his dark iron has cost countless manpower and material resources, at least it is worth dozens of taels of gold.
Before the words fell, Ye Gu had already opened the lid of the wine.
I saw that the wine was slightly yellow, the texture was transparent, and the aroma was tangy, just a few sips, it made people full of relish, and the aroma lasted for a long time.
The drinkers in the courtyard all swallowed hard. Even a fool can smell that the pot of wine "sent" by Miss Ye Jiasan is not simple.
"Is this the legendary hundred-year-old monkey wine?" Ye Gu's eyes lit up, he had long lost the majesty of the head of the Ye family, and he looked like a drunkard.
"Isn't it just a hundred-year-old monkey wine, my mother went into the mountains for three months to find only such a pot for my grandfather's birthday. Ye Lingyue blinked, full of nonsense, didn't Ye Huangcheng say that it took three days and three nights for that piece of broken copper and iron, then she would talk nonsense for three months.
In fact, this so-called hundred-year-old monkey wine was obtained by Ye Lingyue after refining and purifying it three times on the basis of those jars of Baiguo wine.
Monkey wine is already something that is hard to come by, let alone a century-old monkey wine.
"Congratulations to the old man of the Ye family, a hundred years of monkey wine, prolonging life, can boost skills, is a rare treasure. Even the Xia Emperor of the imperial capital may not be able to drink it, but the old man can taste it, which is really a blessing of good fortune. Among the guests was the owner of a local restaurant, who hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate him.
"Okay, very good, this gift is the best gift I received today, old man. When Ye Gu heard this, his face was full of red light, and he praised him repeatedly, there was a little trembling in his voice, and the eyes that looked at Ye Huangyu's mother and daughter softened a lot.
