Chapter Seventy-Six: The Birthday Banquet I

The four days passed quickly, and what made Li Yang very depressed was that Zhang Ying actually took three days off in a row, which made Li Yang's idea of going out to see the house completely disappear.

In the past four days, in addition to receiving customers and sorting out the company's sales accounts after work, Li Yang has been reading the few antique books he bought. After understanding the things in these books, Li Yang deeply understood why Wu Xiaoli and Zheng Kaida told him again and again that the water in the antique industry is too deep, and counterfeiting can be said to have been integrated into the antique industry, which is a kind of culture in the bones of antiques.

No matter which antique book, it will always mention how to defend fakes, Li Yang has a special ability to help, and after he got off work, he went to Mingyang Antique Street to take a turn, and he really recognized the characteristics of many fake things in the past few days. Of course, all of this was achieved with the help of special abilities, and with special abilities, at least in terms of age, nothing could hide from Li Yang.

For an old man, the 70th birthday is an extremely important day, and for the children of the elderly, this day is also the most important day, Wu Xiaoli's grandfather's family has been preparing for this birthday banquet for more than a month in advance, and it must be guaranteed to be foolproof.

Wu Xiaoli's grandfather's name is Liu Xuesong, mentioned once above, is the chief professor of the Mingyang Museum, and is also the Taishan Beidou in the Mingyang antique industry.

To be a longevity elderly, every ten is called a big life, such as '50 birthdays', '60 birthdays', '70 birthdays', etc. However, this kind of longevity is not really every ten, but refers to the age of forty-nine, fifty-nine, sixty-nine, etc. Because nine is the largest number among the ten numbers, people have formed this custom of 'celebrating nine but not ten' in order to ask for good luck.

Among these big birthdays, the 70th birthday is the most important one, to be placed in ancient times, the 60th birthday will be more grand, but now people's living standards have improved, coupled with the postponement of the retirement age, the most important birthday for the elderly has become the 70th birthday this time.

There is a saying that 'life is rare for seventy years', for Liu Xuesong's children, he has been working hard to raise his two sons and four daughters Chengren in the past 70 years. Especially Liu Xuesong's wife left early, and the children respect the old man even more, Liu Xuesong just mentioned the wish to celebrate his birthday, and the children were busy, and it was necessary to make the old man satisfied, without a little regret.

Liu Xuesong is 69 years old this year, and he has celebrated the 70th birthday of the 9th, according to the customs of Mingyang, this 70th birthday is also called the whole birthday, and the whole birthday ceremony on the whole birthday has a longevity banner, a longevity clothes, a longevity person, a longevity peach, etc., and the people who pay attention to it will also increase the longevity drama and longevity and other customs.

Liu Xuesong's children are currently holding more important leadership positions, and he himself is an authoritative scholar, there must be a lot of people who come to celebrate their birthdays after such an important birthday, Liu Xuesong's children discussed it, and decided to put the birthday banquet in the hotel after the consent of the old man, otherwise there are really not so many people in the family.

However, it is bound to conflict with some traditional customs in the hotel, but fortunately, the old man is more open-minded and does not care about these.

Early in the morning of Sunday, the people of the Liu family went to the hotel to make arrangements, Liu Xuesong is also a more famous figure in Mingyang, and there will be many retired cadres to congratulate him on his birthday, and the specifications and grades can not be low.

In the apartment, Li Yang was holding a comb and combing his hair in the mirror, he always felt that today's hairstyle was not very good, and it was disrespectful to the old man to go to an old man's birthday banquet with a messy hairstyle.

After fiddling with the mirror for more than ten minutes, Li Yang finally nodded with satisfaction, looked at the straight suit on his body, Li Yang casually picked up the gift box on the table and walked out.

As soon as he opened the door, Li Yang was startled, there was a person at the door who wanted to smash the door, if it wasn't for Li Yang taking a step back urgently, the person in front of him stopped there, I am afraid that the fist would have smashed his head.

"You, what are you doing here?"

Li Yang looked at Wu Xiaoli in front of him in surprise, Wu Xiaoli was dressed very beautifully today, but a beautiful girl can't raise her fist to hit someone, this action makes Wu Xiaoli's ladylike temperament disappear.

"Am I not here to pick you up?" Wu Xiaoli also stared at her big eyes, looking very innocent.

Li Yang smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to look like this when you pick me up, right?" ”

Wu Xiaoli's hand was still holding at this time, and she was immediately put down as soon as she was reminded by Li Yang, her face was slightly red, but her eyes were still staring at Li Yang.

"I was about to knock on the door, who knew you came out of it!"

"Knock on the door?" Li Yang touched his nose: "I remember that there is a doorbell here, why do you still knock on the door?" ”

"I forgot if I could do it, let's go!" Wu Xiaoli's body slammed down, glared at Li Yang fiercely, and then pulled Li Yang and ran out, Li Yang hurriedly let go of his hand, went back and closed the door before going out with Wu Xiaoli.

The place where Liu Xuesong held his birthday banquet was in the best Tianyu Hotel in Mingyang, and the entire second floor was wrapped up by Liu Xuesong's children.

Li Yang's Volvo didn't drive, and was directly stuffed into her car by Wu Xiaoli, as a direct family member like her granddaughter, Wu Xiaoli had to go to the hotel early to prepare, so she was so anxious to find Li Yang, as for why Li Yang followed her so early, both of them ignored it.

At the door of the hotel, one of Wu Xiaoli's cousins and uncle was already standing at the door, and both of them were stunned when they saw Li Yang walking down from Wu Xiaoli's car.

"Uncle, this is my colleague Li Yang, he came to celebrate my grandfather's birthday today!"

Wu Xiaoli pulled Li Yangjing to walk in front of the older person, and when she said Li Yang's name, Wu Xiaoli's uncle suddenly showed a sudden look, and then stepped forward to shake hands warmly, but Li Yang always felt that his eyes were a little strange, not only Wu Xiaoli's uncle, but also Wu Xiaoli's cousin.

"Welcome, welcome, Xiao Ming, take Xiao Li and her colleagues inside first!"

Wu Xiaoli's uncle looked Li Yang up and down carefully, and finally smiled with satisfaction, Wu Xiaoli's cousin was also full of strange smiles, and pulled Li Yang to go inside.

On the second floor of the hotel, it is already completely a birthday banquet atmosphere, there is a chair in the center of the banquet hall on the second floor, and there is a big birthday word behind the chair, Wu Xiaoli's grandfather is not here, but after the birthday celebration begins, he will sit here to accept the birthday of his children's younger generations, which is also an important step in the seventieth birthday.

At the staircase on the second floor, there is also a special reception office, which is mainly used to receive birthday gifts from visitors. Most of the other people who are far away or just come because of favors bring gift money, and Liu Xuesong has already instructed Liu Xuesong to accept more than two hundred, so as not to misunderstand that he borrowed his birthday to collect money.

Li Yang handed over the gift box casually, and the receptionist glanced at Li Yang in surprise, the people who could give gifts were definitely people who were close to him, but they obviously hadn't seen Li Yang in front of them.

The two people who received saw Wu Xiaoli and his cousin who were following them again, and finally nodded together, and then they both showed a strange smile on their faces, and the two people who received them were also from the Liu family.

"Li Yang, you sit here for a while, I'm busy and I'm looking for you!"

Wu Xiaoli took Li Yang to a big table where no one was sitting yet, and said with great concern, there are many guests here today, and she will also go out to be busy with reception.

"Okay, you go get busy first!"

Li Yang nodded, looking around the hall, because Li Yang came early, there were not many people in the hall, and no one else came like him, most of them were sitting there eating melon seeds and chatting.

There was also a room in the depths of the hall, and when someone was coming in and out, Li Yang happened to see a few old people sitting in it, presumably Wu Xiaoli's grandfather was inside now, waiting for the start of the birthday ceremony.
