Chapter 5 Birthday Banquet

The guests have already arrived, and Zhang Zhening's table is only he, his mother and his aunt, just like outsiders.

My aunt is not born to my grandfather, but she mixes well, so my grandfather's family treats her well.

"Auntie, why are you sitting here? ”

At this time, Qiao Na walked in from outside, and saw that her aunt was also sitting behind Zhang Zhening's table, and hurriedly said, "Don't sit here, it's embarrassing, let's go and sit at the table in front." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you can go, I'll just sit here, it's okay. Auntie said with a smile.

Mother followed, "Nana, sit down and eat something too." ”

Who knows that Jona turned her eyes and said, "Are you scolding me? Let me sit with you and want to deliberately throw me off?"

Zhang Zhening wanted to be mad, but was secretly dragged by his aunt, and after a few polite words with Qiao Na, Qiao Na glared at Zhang Zhening's mother and son, and then walked to the front table.

"Zhening, why do you look a little wrong today?" Auntie saw Zhang Zhening's strangeness, and felt that Zhang Zhening was a little different from usual today, but she couldn't say what was the difference.

"It's okay, auntie, I just can't get used to them bullying my mother. Zhang Zhening said.

Auntie smiled, "That's how they are, just don't be like them." ”

Soon, the banquet began, and my grandfather wore a bright red Tang costume and appeared on the stage with the support of my uncle.

According to the process, first the host gave a speech, and then the grandfather spoke, and most of what he said was to thank you and so on.

Then he began to toast from table to table, and after arriving at Zhang Zhening's table, his grandfather just glanced at it and said to his aunt, "Why are you sitting here, there is your place in front of you, sit back!"

The aunt smiled at her grandfather, then said hello to her mother, got up and sat in front of her, and her grandfather didn't toast Zhang Zhening's mother and son, as if he didn't see it, and bypassed it directly.

Zhang Zhening felt very uncomfortable in his heart, so he said to his mother that he would just leave first, and no one else would like us anyway.

But my mother smiled and said that this was my grandfather's 80th birthday, and she would definitely not leave until the banquet was over.

In this regard, Zhang Zhening only sighed, his mother was kind-hearted, and Zhang Zhening had asked her mother before why her grandfather treated her like this, and she still had to respect her grandfather.

Mother just said that if her grandfather hadn't adopted her, she would have starved to death, no matter what her grandfather's attitude towards her was, this love must be remembered.

After the grandfather finished toasting, he returned to the guest of honor, and at this time, the younger generations of the family should go to the stage of toasting grandpa's birthday.

After a few juniors finished toasting, her mother pulled the corner of Zhang Zhening's clothes and whispered, "Go, give your grandfather a birthday." ”

Although Zhang Zhening was unhappy, he was still dragged forward by his mother.

"Dad, Zhening and I wish you a birthday, I wish you old happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan. Mother said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhang Zhening again, and Zhang Zhening hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I wish you good health and happiness every day......

"That's it!"

Grandpa didn't look at Zhang Zhening's mother and son, but just waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these useless things, what should you do." ”

Zhang Zhening was so angry that he wanted to drop the cup, but at the behest of his mother, he was still reluctant to drink the wine.

"Didn't you hear grandpa?

At this time, Qiao Na also walked over, glanced at Zhang Zhening's mother and son, and also stretched out her hand to push Zhang Zhening aside, "Go out of the way, don't get in the way." ”

Zhang Zhening's teeth were about to be crushed, but because of his mother, he didn't have a seizure.

Qiao Na held a glass of red wine and smiled sweetly at her grandfather, "Grandpa, Nana wishes you a long life and a good life, a strong body, and a happy life." ”

Grandpa laughed happily, looked at Joanna and said, "Okay, good, your blessing Grandpa has received it, and Grandpa also wishes Nana to study and progress, and the longer she grows, the more beautiful she becomes!"

Qiao Na looked like a good girl in front of her grandfather, and after drinking the wine, she turned her head and glanced at Zhang Zhening again, and then smiled at her grandfather, "Don't worry, grandpa, I will definitely not embarrass you, and I will not lose your face like some people." ”

This sentence is obviously aimed at Zhang Zhening's mother and son, and when my grandfather saw that Zhang Zhening's mother and son had not left, his old face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Didn't you hear what I said?

Zhang Zhening is so angry, if someone dares to talk to him like this in the other world, he would have been beaten into meat sauce by him.

Huffing back to his seat, he took a few bites of food, feeling bored, just thinking about ending the damn feast quickly.

Seeing that the waiter was a little too busy, her mother went to help again, and asked Zhang Zhening to also help pour wine for the guests.

Zhang Zhening must be reluctant in his heart, but he still has to listen to his mother's words.

Carrying a bottle of red wine, he walked towards a table angrily, he was in the other world, others served him tea and poured wine, where did he do this.

In addition, I was angry in my heart, so I accidentally poured some of it out when I poured wine at a table, staining a guest's clothes a little bit.

Mother hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to......"

Zhang Zhening glanced at the person who had soiled his clothes, he was a very beautiful girl, and he thought that he would definitely be scolded again.

Unexpectedly, the girl stood up generously and said to her mother, "Auntie is fine, I'll just go back and wash up, you help me pour wine, I haven't thanked you yet." ”

As he spoke, he smiled sweetly at Zhang Zhening, "Thank you for pouring me wine." ”

This girl is dressed like a rich daughter, and there is a natural extravagance in her gestures, and she feels very cultured, and she looks down-to-earth and generous, but not humble or arrogant.

This made Zhang Zhening feel a little surprised, in his eyes, those rich children should all look down on people.

Although Qiao Na is also a beauty, she is not comparable to the girl with a sweet smile in front of her, not to mention her appearance, just the girl's bearing can kill Qiao Na a few streets in seconds.

During the banquet, his grandfather took Qiao Na to toast his old comrades-in-arms, Qiao Na seemed to want to be close to that girl, but Zhang Zhening always felt that that girl was a little unkind to Qiao Na, which could be seen from her expression.

After a while, my grandfather walked up to the stage and said with a microphone, "Today is the 80th birthday of the contemptible person, welcome everyone to come and celebrate the birthday of the old man, my granddaughter Jona said, in order to thank you, I want to play a song for everyone." ”

After saying that, the people below applauded, and Jona stepped up to the stage and walked to a piano to play.

It was a song called "To Alice" by Richard, which was very simple and widely circulated, and many children could play it.

Although Zhang Zhening doesn't know the piano, he once worshipped a music master as a teacher in the other world, and when he heard it, he knew that Qiao Na's level could only be said to be average.

After Jona's song was played, the people below applauded, saying that Grandpa had a good granddaughter, and Grandpa couldn't keep his mouth shut.

And Qiao Na walked up to the girl and said, "Sister Hui, I have liked to play the piano since I was a child, I heard that you also play well, today is my grandfather's birthday, why don't you also play a hand to celebrate my grandfather's birthday, and the two of us sisters play a song, which can be regarded as double happiness." ”

Zhang Zhening sat far away from them, but he could still vaguely hear what they were saying, and he couldn't help but feel sick in his heart.

Looking at the sweet girl's attitude, I knew that she didn't want to deal with Jona very much, but Joanna was good, and she was directly commensurate with other sisters.

In the end, the girl, at the behest of her grandfather, reluctantly agreed.

It's just that she said, "Although I also like the piano, I like the guqin a little more, so why don't I play a guqin for everyone." ”

The girl said this on the stage, and the people below were surprised when they heard it.

You know, the guqin is much more difficult than the piano, and there are very few people who can play it, but I didn't expect to meet someone who can play it today.

Brilliant Restaurant is a very luxurious restaurant in the local area, the owner is elegant, so he also has a collection of guqin.

A moment later, the guqin was carefully lifted up by several staff members.

The sweet girl smiled sweetly at the person below, and then sat down, and at that moment, her body suddenly revealed a natural classical temperament.

Just the first string was plucked, and everyone was surprised, the unique timbre of the guqin, coupled with the girl's superb piano skills, immediately shocked the audience.

After the song was played, the people below were full of words for a long time, until the girl walked to the front of the stage and bowed to everyone to thank them, and everyone stood up and broke out into a thunderous applause.

And Jona looked extremely embarrassed, she just played the piano with sparse applause, and there was no comparison with this girl.

Zhang Zhening also felt a little surprised, he once worshipped a guqin master as a teacher in the other world, and he was also very proficient in the guqin, but he didn't expect that in the modern world of this time and space, there were people who could play the guqin so well.

It's just that although the girl's piano skills are good, there are a few flaws, but except for professionals like Zhang Zhening, others can't hear it at all.

The banquet continued to be boring, and everyone treated Zhang Zhening and his mother as air.

And Qiao Na sat directly next to the girl shamelessly, chattering non-stop, although the girl kept smiling, but Zhang Zhening, who had reached a certain level of observation and expression, could see that the girl was just perfunctory Qiao Na.

After a while, Zhang Zhening felt a little anxious, so he went to the bathroom, and when he came out to wash his hands, he happened to see the girl.

"Hello. The girl took the initiative to say hello to Zhang Zhening.

"Hello, you just played really well. Zhang Zhening also smiled at the other party, feeling very comfortable talking to this girl.

"You also know the guqin, hehe, I actually play the average game, and I played it wrong in several places just now. The girl laughed.

Zhang Zhening shook his head and said, "No, in fact, you didn't play it wrong, but there are a few details that are a little jerky, this piece should be about a woman's sorrow for her lover on the battlefield, you played it perfectly, but the climax part, if you convert the feathers and nodes of the sixth and ninth strings, the effect will be better." ”

When he said these words, Zhang Zhening just casually said his opinion, but he didn't expect that his words directly shocked the girl's mouth wide.
