Chapter 065: A Different Kind of Birthday Gift

How did she know that these two people didn't mean anything else, they just didn't get used to her and wanted to stab her.

At this moment, Old Man Xie and Old Lady Xie Chen walked into the courtyard, followed by the Xie family, and everyone got up one after another when they saw this.

"Thank you very much for joining us today, you don't have to be restrained. Today, Old Man Xie wore a dark red robe, in good spirits, a little stronger than before, and he couldn't tell that he had reached the age of sixties, so he nodded to the side, "Feast." ”

Xie Chen was helped to sit down, looked at Liu Chupei who was sitting in front of him, and then looked at Xie Yun who was standing next to her with a wronged look, guessed a few points, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, "The fifth princess usually likes plain colors, and today's red dress really makes the old body's eyes shine, among these people, I can see the fifth princess at a glance." ”

Originally, there were many young ladies of the family who wore red, and she was originally a little prejudiced against her, so she felt that Liu Chupei's red was particularly dazzling, and it had the meaning of dominating the guests.

Liu Chupei smiled embarrassedly, "Old lady, you are joking, today is Grandpa Xie's birthday, of course you have to dress festively, Grandpa Xie likes red on weekdays, but he doesn't dare to wear it, so I will wear it for him, so that he can feast his eyes and enjoy it." ”

An old but majestic laugh came from the side, "You little girl, you still came to bury me." "When you're old, what do you look like when you wear red, I'm afraid of making people laugh, this girl is good, and she doesn't save him any face.

"Where is it to bury you, but I just want to please you. Liu Chupei looked like he was inviting merit, but he didn't feel fake, and he was very sincere.

"Hahaha, you girl. Old Man Xie's eyes narrowed into a slit, this girl is eccentric, her mouth is very sweet, he likes it very much.

Xie Chen saw that his master loved these five princesses very much, and he didn't dare to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, and handed Xie Yun a reassuring look.

Liu Chupei, this girl is very smart, she knows what to say to make the old man Xie happy, and her granddaughter is smart and well-behaved on weekdays, but the old man Xie is always indifferent to her, and she doesn't like it or not.

She doesn't like this fifth princess very much, she is very clever and orderly, and she can be said to be alive when she dies, Old Man Xie and Xie Heng are both coaxed by her to obey, and she always puts her name on her lips on weekdays.

"You can't be greedy today, I'm going to check. Old Man Xie saw that her eyes looked at the wine jar on the table from time to time, and he knew it in his heart, so he pretended to admonish her seriously.

This girl likes to drink his peach blossom brew the most on weekdays, and half of the wine cellar is missing, he doesn't know that this is all secretly drunk by her and Xie Heng.

Today's banquet is well prepared, and he is really afraid that she will not be able to hold back her drinking.

"You can rest assured, you can rest assured. Liu Chupei smiled wryly, and she had her little Jiujiu in her heart.

After Old Man Xie left, a group of people sat down one after another and held a banquet.

Everyone's gaze on Liu Chupei changed and changed, they had always heard that the relationship between the fifth princess and the Xie family was very good, originally thought that it was just that the Xie family admired her very much, but they didn't expect that Old Man Xie was closer to her than his own granddaughter, and everyone began to make their own calculations in their hearts.

With peach blossom brewing in front of him, where could Liu Chupei's eyes tolerate anything else, and he poured one cup after another by himself.

"Princess, don't be greedy. Shannu stood behind her, a little worried.

"It's okay, it's okay, there are so many women here today, the Xie family can't let them get drunk one by one, this wine is different from the past, the wine is not strong. Liu Chupei took another sip, and there was a faint sweetness, which was even better than the ones he drank in the past.

Xiangnu deliberately stopped her, it can be seen that all the ladies and ladies are tasting this wine, and she can't disturb her Yaxing.

After a while, some people began to congratulate Old Man Xie on his birthday and sent their own congratulatory gifts.

Liu Chupei watched from the sidelines, and the birthday gifts he gave were nothing more than some jewels and jade, golden Buddha and jade Ruyi.

She bet that there were no less than ten jade ruyis in Old Man Xie's study, how could these people send things so without new ideas.

No matter how good it is, it is to send precious calligraphy and paintings, or hard-to-find unique books, or all kinds of expensive tea and wine, she looked at the smile on Old Man Xie's face and couldn't hide it, thinking that these people had put in a lot of effort and did what they liked.

"Anu. Liu Chupei saw other people's congratulatory gifts, and his heart suddenly felt a little bottomless.

"Princess, what's the matter?" asked Shannu as she approached.

"I don't think I'm going to be able to handle it. Liu Chupei thought of what he was going to give, and he was a little panicked, "If you don't instruct you to go down and let someone go to the palace to get a pair of calligraphy and paintings, it's better than mine." ”

Go back to the palace to get the painting, this delay on the way will be more than half an hour, and the princess will be presented immediately, where is the time, Xiangnu disagreed: "It's too late, princess, and Anu thinks that the things sent by the princess are excellent, they are all the princess's mind, no matter how valuable other people's things are, there are a few like the princess who personally spent time and energy, and they are naturally not as good as the princess." ”

"Really?" Hearing her say this, Liu Chupei felt that there seemed to be some truth, and his heart settled down a little.

Liu Chupei was bored fiddling with the flowers and plants next to her, and waited for someone to report before she walked in the direction of Old Man Xie.

Old Man Xie had been waiting for her early, this girl was eccentric, and he didn't know what he would give him, but he was looking forward to it.

Seeing Liu Chupei walking forward, the people around him looked around, wanting to see what congratulatory gifts the five princesses had given.

"Girl. Old Man Xie smiled and beckoned her over.

Chu Pei congratulated Grandpa Xie on the prosperity of the sun and the moon, and the longevity of the pine crane. Liu Chupei knelt down, made a junior salute, and kowtowed three times.

Everyone was shocked, if the juniors of the Xie family did this big gift, they also felt that they should take it for granted, but in front of them was the most favored princess in the palace, and they could not deign to salute, and everyone couldn't help but admire this fifth princess.

Liu Chupei raised his head and smiled mischievously, "I also wish Grandpa Xie to have wine every day." ”

"Hahaha. Old Man Xie was amused by her, "Hurry up, you girl, if you don't come to steal my wine, I will have wine every day." There was no trace of reproach in his words, but full of pampering.

"Something is presented. Liu Chupei commanded behind him, only to see two guards carrying something up, covered with a piece of red silk, "This is my gift to Grandpa Xie." ”

All eyes were drawn here to find out.

"Oh, what is this?" Old Man Xie was a little curious, got up from his seat, and walked in front of her.

Liu Chupei tore off the red silk, and a wine jar appeared in front of him in an instant.

When everyone saw that it was a wine jar, they laughed secretly in their hearts, originally thought that this princess would give some rare treasures, but they didn't expect it to be worse than ordinary people, it turned out to be a wine jar, and it looked so poorly worked.

Everyone, you say a word to me, and a few people who don't like Liu Chupei have already begun to sarcastically mock her on the side.

Liu Chupei pretended not to hear, and pulled Old Man Xie to the side of the wine jar, "Grandpa Xie, take a look, this is what I made with my own hands, even the clay was dug by me myself, and there was no fake hand in every step of the process." She was a little proud of it.

"Oh, did you make it yourself?" Old Man Xie originally saw this wine jar, but he didn't see anything, but now when he heard that she made it, his eyes instantly lit up, and he looked carefully, although it was a little rough, but it was really good.

"I've been doing it for three months, and I'm finally able to do this barely getting into the eye. Liu Chupei smiled embarrassedly, "Grandpa Xie, don't dislike it." "She can't compare to the precious gold and silver jewelry, and she knows it in her heart.

"Don't dislike, don't dislike. Old Man Xie's eyes were slightly moist and a little red, and he really didn't hurt her in vain. Although all the juniors in the family respect him, they are a little sincere to him, and he can still see that they all want to have a good reputation for filial piety or want to win his love, so that they can gain a firm foothold in the Xie family.

But there is no one who is as innocent as this child, she just wants to make him happy, and she is willing to spend so long just to make him a wine jar, although it is simple, but he likes it very much.

"But that's not all. Liu Chupei opened the lid, touched the jar, took out something, and put it in front of him, "This can filter the wine residue in the wine jar, and the most cumbersome thing to take new wine on weekdays is to take the wine residue, I can save trouble, put it in the end, and when the wine is brewed, the wine filtered out of this can be drunk directly." ”

"Oh?" Not only Old Man Xie, but everyone else was interested, and a few colleagues who drank with Old Man Xie on weekdays took a closer look and felt that it was like a thing.

"I've tried so many times, and there's no scum left. Liu Chupei nodded confidently and raised a proud smile.

Who doesn't know the trouble of filtering this wine, coming and going a few times, the taste of this wine has changed a lot, and a few colleagues who have a good relationship with Old Man Xie secretly rubbed their hands, "Old Xie, you can borrow this jar and this thing to borrow me to go back and make jar wine to try."

"Don't give, don't give, think beautifully. Old Man Xie stepped forward and guarded the wine jar on the side like a child, "You want to let your grandchildren do it." Then he ordered the jar to be carried to the backyard.

Everyone pouted, and the eyes of several colleagues looked at the wine jar that was carried away.

Old Man Xie smiled proudly, as if Liu Chupei was his own granddaughter. This thing is very much to his liking, before he inadvertently mentioned that he drank wine residue when drinking, and complained that he didn't know which hand and foot were not good at filtering even a wine residue, but he didn't expect her to take it to heart.

"When I have made new wine from your jar, I will let you taste it at the first sip. Old Man Xie's eyes were confused, and the joy in his heart couldn't be suppressed, and he couldn't wait to make a jar of wine from that jar immediately, and immediately take another sip.

"You're too stingy to take a sip. Liu Chupei pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Gotta get it, let you drink a pot, it can't be more, hahaha. "Old Man Xie really likes her more and more, and he went to ask the emperor for instructions and took her to Xie's mansion for two days.

Some people looked at Liu Chupei with envy on their faces, no one in Jiankang City knew who didn't know, this old man Xie was famous for his alcoholism, and there were many good wines in his cellar, but he never gave it to outsiders, whether it was a good relationship or someone who spent a lot of money, he couldn't get a drop of wine from him.

"Cut, it's not a wine jar yet. Xie Yu'an stood aside and looked at her disdainfully, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Who wouldn't." ”

"Then you should make one. Liu Chupei stuck out his tongue at her, and walked towards his place with a cheerful step.

After everyone gave the birthday gift, the garden was staggered again.
