"It is also his blessing to be able to enter the Mu clan study", the third prince is like a most qualified cousin, entrusting his so-called cousin to it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xia Yi sat there without saying a word, everyone understood that he was dissatisfied with this matter, but the Holy Lord's edict had been issued, and it could not be changed, so he could only admit it.
Because the three princes were sitting, the guests below did not dare to be too presumptuous, although there were many people, they were in order, and they saw a little maid wearing a blue and blue armor shuttling between them, and from time to time all kinds of drinks and desserts were served one by one.
Shoutang is located in the main house of the outer courtyard of Ciyan Hall, the hall hangs a gold-painted integrated "Shou" character map, the left and right sides and below are 100 different shapes of the Fu characters, both sides for Fu, Lu, Shou three stars.
The red carpet is laid under the hall, and the brocade curtains are set off all around, and the longevity couplets on both sides are written with the words "turtles and cranes live together, and the pines and cypresses are evergreen".
In the middle of the hall, there are long tables, eight immortal tables, and Taishi chairs, and large chairs are arranged on both sides, all of which are covered with red chair shawls and red chair cushions.
Due to the arrival of the three princes, the Taishi chair was added, and now the three princes and Mrs. Mu are sitting in the first place.
There are silverware and porcelain on the table, and there are offerings of longevity wine, longevity noodles, longevity peaches, longevity cakes and other things, all of which are taken from the number "nine" that symbolizes auspiciousness.
Master Mu couldn't come back to celebrate his birthday, so today the eldest grandson Mu Chenqian lit the birthday lantern on his behalf.
The longevity lantern uses a big red candle, because Mrs. Mu is 60th birthday this year, so it is a full six.
The second master of the Mu family walked through the Shoutang one by one, and the Mu family all had good looks, even if several masters had entered middle age, they were still majestic and graceful.
Not to mention the young masters, one by one, they are fresh and handsome.
Even Mu Chenhe, the youngest seventh young master in the fourth room, is like a little scholar with a crown of hair and looks like an adult, which looks very gratifying.
The second master Mu took the lead in lifting the hem of his clothes and kneeling down, and several other masters followed closely behind, bowing together, saying "Blessing is like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan" and other birthday wishes.
Old Lady Mu sat on the top in a red satin brocade robe, and nodded with a smile on the corner of her lips, "Okay, good."
There were already entourage servants who carried up the birthday gifts of several masters, and the huge frame-like thing covered with red cloth.
"Father's age today, my brothers have prepared this birthday gift for you, hoping that my father can be healthy and prolonged."
After Mu Er finished speaking, he and Mu Liu, who was standing on the other side of the red cloth, reached out and lifted the red cloth.
Under the red cloth is a frame of nine shou screens, each of which is inlaid in a frame made of hardwood, the word "Shou" is carved up and down, painted on lacquered gold paper, and the nine characters of Shou in different fonts jump on the paper, painted with gold ink, showing the delicacy of this birthday gift.
The guests in the hall were amazed, and they all said that Mrs. Mu was so blessed, and she had such an outstanding and filial son.
Next, it's the juniors' turn to give birthday gifts.
Mu Chenqian sent a side of the Tian Huangshi button seal, Tian Huangshi is a kind of Shoushan stone, because of its scarce production and precious.
Although this square seal is only the size of grapes, it is very difficult to find it.
Mrs. Mu likes to be curious about stone treasures all her life, and when she saw this button, she praised it, and immediately asked the little maid to take a silk silk to tie it and hang it around her waist.
With this gift of pearl and jade in front, there is nothing new in other jade carving longevity peaches and stone carving birthday stars.
However, Mu Chenxuan's "Plum Stone Creek Map" won the praise of Old Lady Mu again, and even the three princes came over to argue the truth and falsehood.
Mu Chenxuan secretly thanked the sixth sister in his heart, and it seemed that it was a very correct decision to ask her to help choose a birthday gift.
Because Mu Chenqi was different from others, Old Lady Mu didn't expect him to prepare a birthday gift for himself, but he didn't expect that Mu Chenqi not only prepared, but also took him by surprise.
What he prepared was a self-made astrological chart, and the guests in the hall were in an uproar, who didn't know that the fourth young master of the Mu family had been an idiot since he was a child, but could an idiot draw such a fine astrological chart, and he had never heard of using a horoscope chart as a birthday gift.
Mu Chenqi didn't know what was wrong with everyone, he just felt that his grandfather always bought him what he liked, and when Mama Hong said that he wanted to prepare a birthday gift for his grandfather, he thought that he must give his favorite things to his grandfather.
So he sat in the study for several days and hand-drew this astrological chart, did he do something wrong?
Thinking of this, Mu Chenqi was a little scared, his eyes showed a deer-like frightened look, and he quickly hid behind the lobby brother.
Mu Chenqian saw the eyes of the three princes lingering on the astrological chart for a moment, his heart sank, and after a little thought, he pulled Mu Chenqi forward and took a step.
Lang Sheng said: "Grandfather doesn't know, the fourth brother's teacher Xi is very good at this, and he loves to talk about these things with the fourth brother in his spare time, and uses this as a model for the fourth brother to practice holding a pen and drawing." The fourth brother often draws and writes, which has become what he is best at, and he is a birthday gift for you."
Although he said this to Old Lady Mu, he said it to the whole room.
Mu Chenqi is mentally incomplete, although no one dares to laugh at him in front of the Mu family, but he has not heard of the gossip behind his back.
Originally, he couldn't even recognize a few words, but he could depict the astrological charts in detail, and it seemed that he was really talented in this method.
It's just that now that he is like this, it is known that having this talent is only bad for him, not good.
The gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty.
And still in front of the third prince, if he had found out that Mu Chenqi's birthday gift was this, he would definitely make the decision to help him change it.
Mu Chenqian's explanation was reasonable, and everyone realized that it was just a lot of flowers, which was not surprising, with his mind, he knew that it was already good to give a birthday gift, and how could he ask him to choose a suitable one, so even the astrological chart was reasonable, after all, he was familiar with it.
Looking at Mu Chenqi's red lips and white teeth, like pearls and jade, he is still a pitiful person in the end, and he is blind to this good background.
Everyone's hearts turned from surprise to sympathy, so they spontaneously believed Mu Chenqian's words.
Mu Chenqi knew that what the lobby brother said was wrong, this astrological chart had long been in his heart, and he did not trace it, but drew it himself, which was still a little different from the original astrological chart.
It's just that the eyes of those people scared him just now, and he didn't dare to stand up and point out what was wrong with Mu Chenqian.
Old lady Mu listened to Mu Chenqian's words and knew why he explained it like this, and on the day he returned home, after Mu Chenqi said the content of "Yi Si Zhan", he sent someone to investigate.
also knew that Zhou Heng had carefully taught him for a period of time, and even the man said that this grandson had a talent that was different from ordinary people.
It's just that his thoughts are the same as Mu Chenqian's, and he won't allow this to be spread until Mu Chenqi's illness is cured.
It seems that I still have to tell Lao Wu that there will be no such accidents in the future.
