Located in the courtyard on the west side of Zhangjia Manor, it is already brightly lit as soon as night falls. This originally spacious small square has been set up today with more than a dozen tables of disc tables with sumptuous dishes, and on the rostrum in front of the main table, there are big shou characters, and some guests have been seated one after another, and the scene has gradually changed from deserted to lively.

The Zhang family advocates Genshuo, that is, today's birthday star, wearing a brown-red Tang costume with golden copper coins on it, which looks quite rich and noble outside the ancient times. He stood at the gate of the compound with a red face, greeting the guests from all walks of life.

However, it is said that it is a guest from all sides, but in fact, they are all neighbors from the same village in this area, and the birthday gifts carried by them are also quite shabby, and some even carry two hangs of pork to eat the birthday banquet, which really looks a little unelegant, and does not reflect the cultural heritage and sensational scene of the Zhang family's big family at all.

Jang Keun Suk smiled and greeted people, but in fact, everyone could see that his smile was very stiff. But also, I think that the Zhang family was an absolute big family in this suburban town in Ninghai, and the people who came and went were all provincial and municipal dignitaries, businessmen and wealthy people, how could it be like now that even ordinary villagers have to greet each other with a smile? There is no way to do it in the middle of the family, in order to keep the birthday banquet from being outrageous, you can only be wronged.

Xiao Qiang sat at the banquet seat next to the main table, sipping tea with melon seeds, completely looking like a guest. He glanced at the sexy and attractive Zhang Jingyi who was accompanying Zhang Genshuo at the door to greet the guests, and he couldn't help but spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth and drop it to the ground, his face was full of unhappiness.

Of course, he was not unhappy because he was not arranged to accompany Zhang Jingyi to welcome the guests, but because he only found out now that his place was actually arranged at the second table. This is nothing, after all, he is not a member of the Zhang family, and it is okay not to go to the main table, but the most annoying thing is that Liu Qi actually sits at the main table with a big grin! It's also a foreign guest, why can you sit at the main table?

But Xiao Qiang is not stupid, of course he knows that this is his punishment for driving away Zhang Guolun and Zhang Genshuo. Or maybe Jang Geun Suk didn't take him seriously at all, but just regarded him as an ordinary college student with no ability, who knows?

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, we're late." Just when Xiao Qiang was in a bad mood, a group of about seven or eight old men came to the gate, and they all walked in front of Zhang Genshuo with birthday gifts, one of them hugged his fists and said, "Old man, we have given you enough face today, and everyone has carefully selected a good baby to give you a birthday gift. ”

Zhang Genshuo's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he coughed dryly and laughed twice, "Come on, old things, my granddaughter Zhang Jingyi, some people haven't seen it yet, right?" How's that, isn't it long? This is my grandson Zhang Shuai, haha, he is handsome enough as his name suggests, right? Jingyi, Zhang Shuai, these are your grandfather's old buddies playing with jade. ”

"Hello grandpa." Zhang Shuai and Zhang Jingyi smiled respectfully, the smile on Zhang Shuai's face looked quite gloating, while Zhang Jingyi's smile was a little stiff, obviously they all knew that after Zhang Guolun was driven away, grandpa was estimated to be embarrassed in front of these old guys.

"Old man, you are a big family, your granddaughter is beautiful and your grandson is handsome, we can't compare!" One of Zhang Genshuo's old playmates said, "But our hobby of playing jade is the same, you can't hide your secrets today, you must introduce the treasure master to us, let us learn more, and we will definitely benefit a lot!" ”

Seeing that they still didn't say this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and after glancing at Zhang Jingyi with some embarrassment, he sighed helplessly, "Maybe I'm going to disappoint everyone, that ...... The treasure connoisseur has something to do temporarily and can't come to my birthday banquet, and he just informed me, I'm really embarrassed. ”

"Huh? How so!! "That's it, we've been waiting for a long time to wait for today!" "Isn't that a lie? I don't know who proudly swore that day? "The old man is just picking, the family business is so even a treasure connoisseur is not willing to invite, I don't believe he will come if he spends more money?"

For a while, these old playmates of Jang Geun Suk showed dissatisfaction, which made him feel like he couldn't come to the stage.

Seeing her grandfather being questioned like this by these old playmates, Zhang Jingyi was not happy, and her mood was extremely bad. Zhang Genshuo faintly felt a little angry, and said angrily, "I said everyone, we have been friends for many years, will I lie to you for no reason?" The treasure connoisseur really can't come, do you think I don't want him to come? If you think I'm out of the word, you don't need to give this birthday gift, my Zhang family still welcomes you! ”

Seeing that Jang Geun Suk said such heavy words, these old playmates knew that it was not good to pursue it one by one, and they walked into the compound with a straight face. Although everyone didn't say anything, it was obvious that this emotion had been diluted a lot because of this incident.

"Grandpa......" Zhang Jingyi wanted to comfort her with some guilt, but in exchange for Zhang Gensuk's dissatisfied eyes.

"What do you want me to do? Do you and your friend have to make me angry at the birthday party to be happy? I don't have to do this birthday banquet next year, I don't want to be angry! Zhang Genshuo shook his hands angrily and left, not wanting to look at Zhang Jingyi again at all.

Zhang Jingyi's aggrieved eyes were a little red, and tears were rolling in her beautiful eyes. Zhang Shuai next to her looked at her and sighed deliberately, "Sister, how did you say you knew this kind of friend?" Don't say anything about helping every day, and make my grandfather so unhappy. You don't know grandpa's temper yet, what he cares about most is face, making him lose face in front of these old playmates, it's even more painful than slapping them? I think it's better for you to stay away from that Xiao Qiang as soon as possible, this guy is a broom star, and there's nothing good going on......"

"Say no more!" Zhang Jingyi shook her head with red eyes, and said steadily, "I know who I make friends with, and I don't need you to teach me." The birthday party is about to begin, you ...... You spend more time with grandpa and make him happier. ”

Zhang Shuai nodded, and walked to the main table with Zhang Jingyi without saying anything. At this time, Zhang Jingyi realized that Xiao Qiang did not sit at the main table, but sat in the second seat next to him, and couldn't help but just want to speak, but heard Zhang Genshuo, who was sitting on the main seat, directly open his mouth and ordered, "Jingyi, you sit next to Mr. Liu." Accompany Mr. Liu for me at today's dinner, people come from afar, don't slack off. ”

"Grandpa......" Zhang Jingyi just wanted to refuse, but when she saw Zhang Genshuo's undoubted eyes sweeping, she could only bite her pink lip aggrievedly and sit beside Liu Qi helplessly.

Liu Qile smiled and took a sip of tea, smelling the body fragrance from Zhang Jingyi beside him, it was extremely pleasant. At this time, he deliberately glanced at Xiao Qiang in the second seat, and the elements of the deliberate demonstration obviously accounted for the majority.

It's a pity that he originally wanted to be angry with Xiao Qiang, but Xiao Qiang didn't seem to see it at all, and he was still leisurely knocking on the melon seeds, as if he didn't know at all.

Pretend, you kid keep pretending! Liu Qi's hateful teeth itched, but he still smiled on the surface, and took the initiative to chat with Zhang Jingyi, his purpose was very clear, that is, he wanted to kill Xiao Qiang.

Yu Bo, the housekeeper standing beside Zhang Genshuo, looked at his watch, and after obtaining his consent, he opened his mouth and announced, "The auspicious time has arrived, and the 78th birthday dinner of Old Man Zhang is officially ......."

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, holding such a big birthday banquet is really a big show! We hurried and hurried, but we finally arrived! Just as Uncle Yu was about to announce the start of the dinner, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the gate of the compound, breaking the prelude to the upcoming start of the dinner.

"Lao Yu, haven't the guests arrived yet?" Zhang Genshuo frowned, turned his head to ask Uncle Yu, the housekeeper who was standing aside, "Why don't you say anything before the guests arrive?" ”

"This ...... Master, I remember very clearly, all the guests we invited have arrived, and there are no fewer people? Yu Bo also said with a blank face, "They should be uninvited guests, right?" ”

"Uninvited? Is this possible? Zhang Genshuo smiled self-deprecatingly, "Lao Yu, do you still think that the Zhang family is the Zhang family ten years ago?" My old Zhang still has that face, how can someone come uninvited? Let's go, come with me to the door. ”

"Grandpa, I'll go with you." Zhang Jingyi couldn't sit still because she was next to Liu Qi, so she hurriedly got up and took the initiative to ask.
