Chapter 021: Birthday Gift (II)

Hongzhu brought the tea to Zhou Mingshan, her two delicate eyebrows wrinkled slightly, glared at her girl, and retreated.

Zhou Mingke smiled, complained to Zhou Mingshan, and said, "Look at this girl, it's the other way around!"

Zhou Mingshan smiled and watched their master and servant interact, silent.

In her previous life, if you want to talk to Zhou Mingshan, except for Jia Xinyi, she is also the third sister, she has a sparse personality, loves to talk and laugh, and does not have her mother's calculating, retributive temperament. The two often get together to chat, fight butterflies, frolic and play, and they are also harmonious!

Now Zhou Mingshan, when I go to see this third sister again, I always feel that something is wrong!

But if she had to say that something was wrong, she couldn't tell!

"Fourth sister, what kind of birthday gift did you prepare for your grandmother?" Zhou Mingke next to him asked again.

"It's nothing, it's just those ordinary things! The third sister doesn't know me, what can I do?" Zhou Mingshan still replied with a smile.

She is indeed not humble, neither good at needlework, nor cooking, other girls are either moving piano skills, or outstanding painting skills, there is always a door to be able to take the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!

But she doesn't talk about her previous life, even now she can see people a little bit with that stroke. Or after entering the palace in the previous life, when the situation was not so bad, there was some entry when I was idle.

Therefore, this time her gift to her grandmother is a hundred longevity characters with different fonts and different shapes, which means auspiciousness, health and longevity, and it can be regarded as handy!

"So what's the matter?" Zhou Mingke looked at Zhou Mingshan, and there was indescribable envy in his tone, "Even if you don't have anything to do, you have ......" At this time, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly paused, so hard that she intercepted the conversation, and quickly said: "You can take the same as a birthday gift, and grandmother won't say anything, it's your heart after all!"

Zhou Mingshan suddenly became vigilant, there was something wrong with the third sister's words!

What was she going to say before the pause was obviously not what she said later, what was it that made her suddenly change her words? What was the part she didn't finish?

She wanted to ask again, but then she thought that since Zhou Mingke had changed her words, she would definitely not say it again!

She pretended not to know, and said casually: "Anyway, it's okay or not, that's it!" turned her head and asked Zhou Mingke again, "I don't know what gift the third sister prepared for her grandmother?"

"I, you don't know me yet, I can barely draw a few strokes, what else can there be besides that!" Zhou Mingke didn't seem to want to say more, and said a few perfunctory words casually.

Zhou Mingshan smiled and said, "The third sister is too modest!"

As far as she knows, the third sister Zhou Mingke not only has outstanding painting skills, but also poetry and writing, of course, she also learned the news by accident.

Since the third sister deliberately concealed it, she also pretended not to know.

"Third sister, fourth sister, what are you talking about?" Ming Yao, the tenth girl who was playing with the flower rope over there, suddenly ran over, leaning her little head up, and her voice was crisp and loud.

Zhou Mingshan liked this little sister of the fourth uncle's family very much in her previous life, although the difference between the two was more than five or six years old, but every time they were together, they could always talk for a long time.

She leaned over and touched the bud on the top of Zhou Mingyao's head, took her little hand and smiled: "We're talking about a birthday gift for grandmother! What did Mingyao prepare?"

It is estimated that this is a topic she doesn't like, the little girl wrinkled her delicate nose and said, "I don't know, but my mother said that she prepared it for me!"

After speaking, he shook off Zhou Mingshan's hand, tried hard to put on a small face, and said sternly: "Fourth sister, you are not allowed to touch your head, I will not grow tall! You have to apologize to me!"

The fleshy face is bulging, like a white and chubby bun, but he still has to pretend to be an adult!

Zhou Mingshan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, the fourth sister apologizes to you!" But how does Mingyao know that touching your head will not grow tall?"

The little girl put her hands behind her back, raised her little chin, and said arrogantly: "Hmph, I just know!" After saying that, she had to run away!

Zhou Mingshan looked at her back, smiled again, and then got up and sat back in the chair.

Zhou Mingke was playing with the tea leaves with the lid of the cup on the side, and looked at Zhou Mingshan idly: "The fourth sister and the tenth sister can be said!"

"The tenth sister is simple and cute, everyone likes it when they see it!" Zhou Mingshan also smiled.

Zhou Mingke looked at her with a knowing smile, and then lowered his head to drink tea.

After a while, the girl outside came in and said that the flower hall was about to open, and the girls were invited to come over.

For a while, the big girls in front of the girls all moved, those who took clothes took clothes, those who looked for the hand stove looked for the hand stove, and after cleaning up, they went out of the warm pavilion one after another.

At the banquet, the girls shuttled in front of and behind the screen, pouring wine and tea for a while.

Mrs. and grandmother suddenly praised the beauty and virtuous lady of the Meng family, and suddenly praised the Yuan brothers for their promising youth, and in the coming year, they will inevitably be on the high school gold list with their uncles.

It wasn't until the second watch that Zhou Ze and the Yuan couple were served by the maids-in-law, and they were a little drunk and went back to live idlely.

Because Zhou Mingshan and the others dispersed early, as soon as she came back, she ordered to prepare a sobering soup, and waited for the Yuan family to rest before returning to her yard.

After being freshened by the pile of incense and smoke, Zhou Mingshan lay on the bed, in the bed tent where she couldn't see her fingers, her eyes open in a daze.

In the previous life, because there was no Meng Yuechan, the reception banquet after the cousin and them came was not as many as today, and of course there was no dialogue between her and the third sister.

Grandmother's birthday gift, she also wrote a hundred "longevity characters", but at that time it was definitely not at the level of this time. Even so, she was praised by everyone when she presented the congratulatory gift, and I still remember that she was both happy and proud at that time, and as for what the other sisters were, she didn't care about it.

At that time, she was too simple, thinking that everyone praised her because they thought her words were good, but with this matter now, she will not think like that anymore, she has ignored too many things!

As for the matter at her grandmother's birthday banquet, she is ready, I don't believe that Jia Xinyi can still rob it?

After thinking about it again and for a long time, Zhou Mingshan Fang fell asleep in a daze.

After the reception banquet, the next two days is the fiftieth birthday of Mrs. Hou's Yang.

Because the New Year is approaching, and the Yang family is also troublesome about socializing, they have already agreed with their sons and daughters-in-law not to do much, and only invite some old friends to come to the house to sit, and even the banquet is only set up for one day.

On the right day, the house is full of hanging lights, the screen is open and the phoenix is opened, the mattress is set up with hibiscus, the sound of sheng flute and drum music, and the thoroughfare crosses the lane.
