Tonight is the birthday of the Overseer's son, so anyone with a bit of a face is invited.

The entire courtyard of the Overseer's Palace is lit up with colorful lanterns hanging between the branches, which look like colorful trees at night.

In the main banquet hall, it is also newly decorated, and a dark and shiny piano is placed in the corner of the banquet hall, and a Western musician is specially invited to play.

When Xiao Li returned to the Overseer's Mansion from Fengqing Xiaozhu at noon, he was also a little surprised to see the appearance of the mansion, because he didn't usually live in the Overseer's Mansion, so he didn't know when these were made.

Although he was very estranged from his mother-in-law, Xiao Li still felt a little grateful to her. Over the years, not only did she not feel sorry for herself, but she also held a banquet for him every birthday to celebrate.

If it weren't for the obvious disgust she showed when facing herself, and the cold tone when she spoke, Xiao Li would almost think that her grandmother treated her as her own.

Of course, it would be naïve to think so.

Looking at the guests attending the banquet and the hypocritical smiles on everyone's faces, Xiao Li's only feeling was tired.

I didn't think it before, but since I had a birthday at Zheng Qingyun's place today, these gorgeous banquets in front of him were just heavy shackles for him.

My grandmother was just using the occasion to win hearts and minds for the Overseers.

Hua Peiyu hadn't been back for a long time, and she was not familiar with the celebrities who participated in the banquet, and she didn't like to be restrained or flattering, so she just stood beside Xiao Li, bored and watched the guests at the banquet staggered.

"Sanshao, as the host of the banquet, shouldn't you welcome the guests?"

Tan Yi ate too much at noon and hadn't digested it yet, standing at the table at this time, he only felt that the aroma of those pastries was greasy and greasy, so he only felt that he was holding it up, he rubbed his stomach while picking up a glass of juice and taking a sip.

He and Hua Peiyu have met a few times, and they are old acquaintances, so they don't have much scruples about being polite when they speak, and when they saw her say this, they said: "He hates greeting others the most, and you don't know it!" ”

Coldly watching Xiao Li refuse the invitations of the four young ladies without blinking, Hua Peiyu couldn't help but secretly say, with his stinky temper, it was strange that he was willing to greet people! Every day is like moving ice cubes, emitting cold air all over the body, people dare not approach, if you are really bored, don't stand next to him and get frozen!

Even though she thought so, Hua Peiyu couldn't help but find something to say, otherwise it would be too boring!

"Sanshao, how about the gift I gave you, have you seen it?" Hua Peiyu's apricot eyes widened, and she looked at Xiao Li with a smile, "This is what I brought back from the West, and Wucheng is also very rare." ”

Speaking of gifts, Xiao Li's eyes moved slightly, and he remembered what Zheng Qingyun gave him - it was a scarf.

For the first time in so many years, Xiao Li received a handmade scarf as a gift. He even forgot what he said to Zheng Qingyun when he took the scarf, but he felt that he must have been very happy at that time.

Because he can clearly remember that reflected in Zheng Qingyun's bright eyes, the corners of his lips with curvature are so clear.

"Huh, you're smiling?" Hua Peiyu looked at Xiao Li in surprise as if she had discovered a new world. In my memory, this is the first time he has laughed!

Tan Yi clapped his hands and laughed: "He laughs a lot, but you didn't notice it!" ”

"Do you think my gift is special?" Hua Peiyu said with a little smugness.

Xiao Li nodded, and replied absentmindedly: "Yes, it's very special." After speaking, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, glanced back at Hua Peiyu, and restrained his smile, "It's not about you." ”

Tan Yi on the side of "poof...... couldn't help but squirt a sip of juice, covering his mouth and laughing happily.

Hua Peiyu originally thought that Xiao Li was a little more approachable today, but she didn't expect to return to her original form in a few words, and she teased herself by the way, which is really annoying!

She rolled her eyes widely, and was about to sneer at each other, but she happened to catch a glimpse of Pei Mochi coming with her two younger sisters, and her face suddenly turned red - thinking that she rolled her eyes very indecently just now, and she didn't know if she was seen by Pei Mochi!

Seeing him with a smile on his face, he felt even more that he was laughing at himself, Hua Peiyu sighed, she knew that she would be dizzy by Xiao Li's anger, so she should be bored and die and don't stand next to him, but fortunately, she didn't die to talk to him!

Hua Peiyu saw Pei Mochi, and Xiao Li naturally saw it too.

His face was a little cold, he walked over, raised the glass in his hand, and said to Pei Mochi: "Young Master Pei!" ”

"Happy birthday to the third young man!" Pei Mochi was wearing a royal blue wide-brimmed narrow-sleeved robe today, covered with a gold and black horse coat, with a tall figure and a handsome spirit, because he didn't hold wine in his hand, so he hugged Xiao Li.

Both of them are people who don't like to greet each other, and after saying a word, they want to separate, but Pei Yuying, who didn't want to follow behind Pei Mochi, suddenly came out sideways, pouting at Xiao Li and coquettishly: "Three Shao!" ”

Xiao Li raised his eyebrows, didn't even bother to speak, and turned around to leave.

"Three less!" Pei Yuying was anxious, and because of the eldest brother's glaring at him, he had to lower his voice again, took a few steps forward, took out a gift box from behind him, and handed it to Xiao Li, "This is my gift to you......"

Seeing that Xiao Li really stopped, and reached out to take the gift in his hand, and opened it and held the things in his hand, as if looking at it, Pei Yuying immediately smiled, and said as if offering a treasure: "This is the money bag I embroidered with my own hands, and I use the best ...... in our Peijia Cloth Village."

Seeing that Xiao Li didn't wait for her to finish, he threw the money bag into the box, and then threw the box into Tan Yi's arms behind him, and said nonchalantly: "Got it." "Turn around and go.

Pei Yuying stood in place, looking at Xiao Li's back, her nose was sour, and her eyes were red. remembered that because of his anger with him, not only was the eldest brother punished, but he was also beaten, and he was sick for several days, but he didn't expect that the money bag he embroidered for him with his own hands was disposed of casually like this, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

As soon as she stomped her feet, the young lady's temper was about to flare up again, and Hua Peiyu hurriedly stepped forward to make peace, held her hand, and said softly: "Don't be angry and cry, this is a banquet for the three young people!" I was afraid that she would be angry, so she continued: "Sanshao is used to such a character, don't be wronged, no matter who gives a gift, he is this virtuous!" ”

"Really?" Pei Yuying looked at Hua Peiyu with red eyes and teary eyes, as if she had found a balance.

"Really."

Seeing Hua Peiyu nodding heavily, Pei Yuying burst into tears and smiled, holding her arm and saying coquettishly, "It's better to be Sister Hua," and glanced at Pei Yuling, who seemed to be an invisible person who was silent behind Pei Mochi, with a slight dissatisfaction, "It's not like my second sister, who never speaks for me!" ”
