Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Birthday Banquet
In the clean room of Qingyiguan, Grandma Su smiled and her eyes narrowed into a slit: "Daoist Hong Fan, you are really an immortal outside the world." ”
Daoist Hong Fan smiled: "I don't dare to take this seriously, it's all the merits of the eldest grandmother and uncle." As the saying goes: filial piety comes first, and the two tiger brothers are willing to accompany the old man to boil the eagle, which is the great goodness. I didn't use any medicine for fifteen years ago, and I didn't itch, right?"
Tian Erhu hurriedly stood up and shook it to the ground: "Although it is hard to boil the eagle, it will be boiled out in a year and a half, but it is much better than the ghost scratching the heart." ”
Daoist Hong Fan nodded and said: "That's it, your mother and your sister also donated a lot of money for you, and the poor roads were used to repair bridges and pave roads, and they were overspent in the dead." Young Master Su, how are you feeling these days? ”
Su Dazhuang was much thinner than before, and he also got up and saluted: "It's strange to say, since I beat me and the eldest wife..."
Mrs. Su's face turned red, and she hurriedly coughed: "Immortal Dao Chief, when do you see when you can invite this... Belch... The two girls were reincarnated. ”
Daoist Hong Fan muttered: "It's not difficult to re-enter reincarnation, I'm just afraid that the two of them will fall into your family again to seek revenge and provoke." ”
When Grandma Su heard this, she was so frightened that she waved her hand: "How is this good?"
Daoist Hong Fan smiled gently, waved his hand and said, "It's okay too." When I do a few rituals, I will allow them to be rich in the next life. It's just..."
Grandma Su said: "This incense money is naturally indispensable to you." ”
Daoist Hong Fan laughed tacitly: "This is all your virtue, as long as you are right, those evil spirits will naturally not dare to approach." ”
finally sent Su Dazhuang and Tian Erhu and others away, and Daoist Hong Fan had to walk into the small courtyard behind. Seeing that Dao Tong was embarrassed in front of the small door of the back courtyard, Hong Fan hurriedly walked over and said: "Oh, rare guest, rare guest, it turned out to be Zhou Shanren, not Xiaodao Naqiao, but this small courtyard has been lent to a friend." ”
Zhou Zhen pretended not to know, and asked curiously: "Who wants to use it?"
Daoist Hong Fan smiled wryly: "This..."
Zhou Zhen smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know anything, in Yanbei, when have you heard that I am bullying." ”
Daoist Hong Fan said hesitantly: "This is the starling brother of the Xia family who lent it to her sister-in-law for her birthday. ”
Zhou Zhen clapped his hands and laughed: "I asked about it, and I also came to celebrate his sister's birthday." I'm afraid they won't be able to borrow the yard, and I didn't expect you to know you so well. ”
Hong Fan looked at Zhou Zhen, who immediately changed his face and danced with his hands, and he hadn't woken up for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Why didn't they talk about it?"
Zhou Zhen sneered and said: "The friendship between our two families, is it rare to ask someone for a post?"
As he spoke, a figure flashed through the small door.
Zhou Zhen said in surprise: "The brothers and sisters of the Zhou family haven't come over yet, why are there people inside, don't underestimate their brothers and sisters, and let people in indiscriminately." Saying that, he didn't care about Daoist Hong Fan, and went in by himself.
Hong Fan was so angry that he stomped his feet, and he couldn't really stop him, so he flicked his sleeves angrily and said, "I don't bother to care." Confessed to Xiao Daotong: "Later, the Xia family brothers and sisters are here, lead them in." Lang Yue, come to the ashram to find me. ”
Zhou Zhen entered the small courtyard and saw a teenager standing in each of the three corners of the courtyard. The one wearing a bright yellow python robe in the northwest corner saw Zhou Zhen and couldn't help shrinking, and Zhou Zhen exclaimed in surprise: "Fourteenth brother, why are you here?"
Zhou Li, who was named, had no choice but to greet him, and Shi Li said: "Brother Eleven, I have been playmates with the Xia family brothers and sisters since childhood, no, it happened to be in time for Miss Xia's birthday, I came over to send her something to celebrate her birthday." ”
Zhou Zhen looked at him for a long time and thought, "You didn't say that the day before yesterday. The day before yesterday, you said that you came to celebrate your aunt's birthday, and I wonder why my mother's birthday is still early, so many people came, it turned out to be for the Xia family brothers and sisters. Thinking like this, he looked east, Lan Haoxin's phoenix eyes narrowed, and she was about to curtsied: "Mark..."
"Why are there so many people here? Isn't this courtyard lent to our family?" Yingxue led Da Jiang and two small servants to come in with food boxes. As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhou Zhen and Zhou Li, Yingxue only recognized Zhou Zhen, not Zhou Li, but recognized his clothes, and when she saw the python pattern on her body, she knew that he was also a little prince. Hurriedly curtsied and said, "This courtyard is for our girl's birthday today, and I also ask the two sons to move." ”
Everyone looked at it and saw that this woman had a round face and a pair of Danfeng hanging eyes. He wore a goose-yellow bikini with a pink horse-faced skirt underneath. looked like he was only a teenager, but he was not cowardly at all, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no doubt.
Zhou Li said: "My friend and your girl have been friends since childhood, and we happen to be in the city today. I came to celebrate the girl's birthday, you see, I have all the gifts ready. Everyone looked at him, and sure enough, there was a gift box next to him, wrapped with a piece of bright yellow furoshiki, and tied a wishful knot, looking at the shape of a boxy thing, and a beauty kite and a harrier eagle kite were placed on the side of the baggage.
Lan Haoxin snorted lightly, and thought secretly: "This week, Li is a person who doesn't grow up, how old he is, and he still flies kites." ”
Ying Xue hesitated when she heard this, and Lan Haoxin said on the side: "Under the surname Lan Haoxin, your girl's sixth brother and I fought together in the northwest camp, and our brothers are lifelong friends." You must be new here, and I don't know and don't blame you. In the future, remember that our two families are good families, and your second grandfather and second grandmother lived in my house in Datong earlier. ”
Yingxue didn't know who he was, but saw that he was wearing a cyan robe and an ordinary square scarf on his head. It doesn't seem to be very conspicuous, but his eyes are blazing and calm. Ying Xue was a little undecided, and involuntarily looked at Zhou Zhen.
Xue Yu, who was beside Zhou Zhen, thought to himself: "This is not quite right today, don't Xiaoyu come up with an idea to trap us." Thinking about it like this, I felt that this place was not very safe, and hurriedly walked towards the courtyard gate.
Before she reached the door, Yingxue quickly blocked the door: "None of you are allowed to walk around, you bumped into our girl, it's not a joke." She looked at her brother again: "Brother, you quickly guard here, and I will ask the girl." ”
Xue Yu ignored it and walked out, Yingxue was anxious and angry, and the eyes that were originally slightly hanging suddenly picked up, and said sharply: "Presumably you are also a person with status, if you are really a friend of my girl, just wait here, and my girl will be there when she speaks." At that time, the slave and maid will make their own decisions, if you have to break out, I am not afraid of losing face. ”
Xue Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw her resolute appearance, thinking that if there was indeed a master, there must be a servant. I had to stand and reply: "Every year on your girl's birthday, I give her gifts to add makeup, and this year is naturally no exception." ”
When Ying Xue heard this, she looked at everyone again, and her eyes fell on Zhou Zhen.
Zhou Zhen was stunned and thought: "This is really, how can I not count these people after thousands of calculations." I didn't expect the idlers under my mother to be so powerful, why were they so jealous of Concubine Han. Zhou Zhen couldn't, and he had to learn Lan Haoxin's rhetoric: "I sent your fifth master to the county on business, he was too busy to get out, I will send some gifts to Miss Xia." ”
Yingxue felt that her head was not enough, and she hesitated for a while. Fortunately, at this time, the brothers and sisters of the Xia family and the Xu family walked into the outer courtyard with a smile and a smile, and the starling brother saw Yingxue blocking the door as if he was facing a great enemy, and when there was some bad guy, he hurriedly stood in front of Xiaoyu with Rushan left and right.
Ying Xue turned around and looked at the three of them with warning eyes, and then ran over: "It's the third prince and the son of a fan king, and the other is the blue prince of the northwest." There is also one who didn't say his name, only said that he would send you something and add makeup every year. ”
Xiaoyu snorted, and thought to herself: "Just his demon moth." Then he explained for Yingxue: "That awkward is Xue Shizi, and the son of King Fan is the son of King Xing, I don't know what you want to call it." They are all my friends. ”
Zhou Li inside listened, only to feel a warm current from head to toe, ironing everywhere, and said busily: "I will do fourteen." ”
Xiaoyu thought about it and asked Yingxue: "Is there anything wrong with the son on Wednesday? Today's family banquet, if there is anything, let the starling accompany him outside to talk?"
Ying Xue was shocked, and thought secretly: "Why doesn't the third prince seem to be a big girl." ”
Zhou Zhen faintly heard it, and hurriedly stood up and explained: "Brother Xia is polite, and he is just a friend who came to celebrate his birthday today. ”
Xiaoyu smiled slightly when she heard this: "Zhou Gongzi is really too polite. After that, he picked up the fan in his hand and followed the starling and others into the small courtyard. Xu Liangqi was secretly surprised, thinking that she was open-minded and heroic at a young age, and she had made so many powerful friends.
Everyone was arranging their seats, and there was a hearty laugh outside: "Daoist Hong Fan, I haven't seen you for a long time." But it was Chen Peng, his voice was loud, and there was still a lingering sound in his ears.
Daoist Hong Fan also said loudly: "Brother Chen has always been good, how can he have time to go down the mountain today." I thought I wanted to compete with Chen Peng, but Daoist Hong Fan's voice was very different from Pingsu, his voice was mellow and low, as if this voice sounded from the bottom of his heart, and his ears heard it later.
Xu Liangqi and his wife looked at each other, secretly surprised. At this time, the little Taoist priest set up a small screen according to Yingxue's instructions, and Lu Niangzi took the lotus wind and Yingxue to sit behind the screen.
Xiaoyu hurriedly walked a few steps out to greet her, Zhou Zhen and others looked from behind, and saw that she was in an outstanding posture, and the skirt under her feet was like a blooming flower, but she was blessed, but she was indescribably weak and lovely. Even Zhou Zhen was taken aback, and secretly thought: "When I saw her men's clothes, she was no different from Starling and others, but I didn't expect that she would be such a first-class woman when she changed women's clothes." ”
Chen Peng laughed: "It turned out to be nine girls, which scared the old brother." "Let's go hand in hand with Daoist Hong Fan. R1152
