Chapter 103: A Birthday Banquet is to be held
The old house of the Yuan family is a Chinese-style building, with a high entrance hall, a magnificent gate, a round arched window, a corner of the stone, a white stucco wall combined with light red roof tiles, there is a kind of low-key grace and luxury, which is not at all comparable to the modern modern reinforced concrete building.
This is the place where the ancestors of the Yuan family made their fortune, and after several generations of construction and expansion of the Yuan family, it has become more beautiful and profound.
If you want to buy a building like this in the current real estate market, tell you, it's not a good place - it's priceless!
This is the difference between some of the emerging wealthy families and some of the more established families - just look at the residences, and it is clear at a glance.
Grandma Yuan has been thinking about it, saying that why Father Yuan is so uncherished, for the sake of that fox spirit to abandon such a mansion as a symbol of wealth and status, and instead spend a lot of money to buy such a villa, it is really not worth it.
The current Yuan family villa is of course a very good villa, Grandma Yuan said "not worth it", in fact, she is just dissatisfied with Hua Yitong, and Yuan Man knows all this.
In fact, every generation of the head of the Yuan family should live in the Yuan family, an old mansion with an antique and profound heritage. However, Yuan's father is an exception, and there is no other reason than Hua Yitong.
At that time, Grandpa Yuan and Grandma Yuan said to Yuan's father, who insisted on marrying Hua Yitong, that even if Yuan's father really married Hua Yitong, Hua Yitong would never be allowed to enter the door of the Yuan family's old mansion in the future.
Grandpa Yuan and Grandma Yuan thought that if they said this, Father Yuan would back down no matter what he said, but in the end, Father Yuan really ate the scales and married Hua Yitong.
Grandpa Yuan and Grandma Yuan were angry, so they really didn't let Hua Yitong enter the Yuan family's old house for half a step, and ordered the doorman to block Hua Yitong directly out of the door, so they weren't embarrassed.
The two old men were still waiting for Yuan's father to apologize, but in the end, they learned that Yuan's father had bought a mid-mountain villa and took Hua Yitong and Yuan Luo to live in it. Grandpa Yuan and Grandma Yuan were so angry that their mouths trembled.
At this point, the contradiction between Yuan's father and the two old men has become deeper, and Hua Yitong has become a person hated by the two old people, and has never given her a good face.
Yuan Man changed into a uniform from the Heavenly Blessing Academy and walked out, followed by the maid holding her school bag.
Last night, after Yuan Man, Grandpa Yuan, and Grandma Yuan returned to the old house of the Yuan family, they stayed in the old house under the persuasion of the two old people.
After yesterday's conversation with excitement to tears, Yuan Man, Grandpa Yuan, and Grandma Yuan were finally able to calm down and speak.
Early in the morning, Yuan Man walked with Grandpa Yuan and Grandma Yuan in this old mansion full of memories. Bathed in the sunshine and surrounded by a family member who can be trusted by her wholeheartedly, Yuan Man feels very happy.
It's just that happy times are often very short, no, time slipped away quickly, and the evening came, and it was time for Yuan Manhui Tianyou Academy again.
The small pond is covered with sparse water lilies, and under the lotus leaves are a tail of red goldfish swimming, and on the edge of the pond is a long corridor.
Yuan Man walked through the long corridor and met a small and delicate moon gate again.
Just after passing through the Moon Gate, Yuan Man heard a sound of angry scolding.
What's going on?
Yuan Man walked in suspiciously, and within a few steps, he saw Grandpa Yuan and Grandma Yuan, and Grandpa Yuan was on the phone!
When I walked in and listened, I heard Grandpa Yuan's angry voice:
"It's absolutely impossible!"
I don't know what was said on the phone, Grandpa Yuan became even more emotional:
"Zhiye, listen well, I said, this is absolutely impossible, you want to hold a birthday banquet for this old man of mine, you can. However, there is absolutely no need for your wife to do it, this old house, she is never allowed to step into even half a step! ”
It seemed that something was said on the phone, but Grandpa Yuan didn't wait for the other party to finish, he continued:
"It's useless for you to say anything, since she had the courage to ask you to buy such a villa, she must have the consciousness that she can never step into the Yuan family's old mansion again. It's too late to take it now! ”
After speaking, Grandpa Yuan didn't give the other party a chance to say anything, and hung up the phone directly.
Grandpa Yuan hung up the phone, and Grandma Yuan on the side spoke:
"What did Zhiye tell you? Are you so angry? ”
"He's ......," Grandpa Yuan said angrily, "he said he was going to hold my sixtieth birthday." ”
That's good, why do you still have this expression? Grandma Yuan, who knew Grandpa Yuan's temperament well, knew that Grandpa Yuan must have not finished speaking:
"What else did he say?"
He also said that this birthday banquet should be organized by his wife. Grandma Yuan asked, and Grandpa Yuan became even more angry, "How is this possible?" Didn't that vixen fight the idea of never owning the Yuan family's old house when he instigated Zhiye to buy a house at that time? Since she has the courage to fight such an idea, she should not regret it! ”
"That's it!" Hearing this, Grandma Yuan's face also became very bad, and after thinking about it, she continued, "Holding a birthday banquet? It's also a good idea. Manman's eighteenth birthday is approaching, and we can take this opportunity to introduce Manman to our network, we are afraid that we will not be able to shelter Manman for a few years, and it is time to exercise and exercise Manman. ”
"You're right." Grandpa Yuan nodded yes, but then, he said with a smile, "However, this birthday banquet must not let Hua Yitong get involved in the preparation, otherwise, wouldn't it be cheaper for that vixen to let her and that daughter come out?" ”
After that, Grandpa Yuan instructed Steward Wang, who had always been by his side, to go down to the preparations for the birthday banquet.
When Yuan Man heard this, he also understood, Grandpa Yuan was talking to Yuan's father on the phone just now, and what Yuan's father and Grandpa Yuan were talking about was pressing to hold a birthday banquet for Grandpa Yuan. Father Yuan proposed to hand over the birthday banquet to Hua Yitong to organize, but Grandpa Yuan did not let go at all, and Grandpa Yuan did this precisely for Yuan Man.
At this time, Grandpa Yuan, who had finished making the call, also saw Yuan Man outside the door.
He beckoned to Yuan Man and said:
"It's a vine, come here, grandpa has something to say to you."
Yuan Man nodded, walked in the door, and sat down on a pear blossom wood chair:
"Grandpa, grandma."
"Manman, are you going to school?" Grandma Yuan asked gently.
"Yes, grandma, I'm in my third year of high school, and I'm going to take the entrance exam for Tianyou University next year." Yuan Man replied.
"Not bad." Hearing this, Grandma Yuan nodded, and asked again, "You have only been back from the UK for a few months, are you still used to it in school?" ”
"It's fine. Of course, English or anything is nothing, and the other courses are still familiar, but it is not difficult. Yuan Man replied.
If Yuan Man's words were heard by Hou Shang, she would definitely look at Yuan Man with wide eyes and say, "What's 'okay', what's not difficult?" You're almost past the first place in your grade, and you're still so humble? When you say that, what is 'good'? Is it the first in the grade? ”
Yuan Man really thinks so, in her mind, her goal is to be the first in her grade, and any other grades are not satisfactory.
Grandma Yuan also understands the temperament of her own granddaughter, so she won't say anything more at the moment, so as not to increase the pressure on Yuan Man, and turned to another topic:
"By the way, your grandfather will be sixty years old next week, and your father suggested that he should give your grandfather a sixty birthday. We also agreed, don't forget to come back to celebrate your grandfather's birthday! ”
Of course, Yuan Man knew that Grandma Yuan was laughing with her in the last sentence, and at the moment, she followed Grandma Yuan's mind and deliberately showed a "complaining" expression:
"Of course, can I forget such a big thing? You say yes, grandpa? ”
"Of course I believe my granddaughter!" Grandpa Yuan touched Yuan Man's head, "Manman has also grown up, and when the time comes, I will also help you Uncle Wang to organize a birthday banquet together!" ”
No matter how Yuan's father persuaded him, Grandpa Yuan didn't give half a concession, and he didn't let Hua Yitong interfere in the preparation of the birthday banquet.
But at this time, Grandpa Yuan handed over a large part of the preparation of the birthday banquet to Yuan Man so easily, which shows that Grandpa Yuan is really interested in Yuan Man and wants to exercise Yuan Man.
Of course, Yuan Man understood Grandpa Yuan's good intentions, and immediately nodded and said "Okay".
Grandpa Yuan heard Yuan Man immediately agree, and a smile appeared on his face:
"So be it! It's not too early, you go to school first! ”
"Okay." Yuan Man got up from his seat, "Grandpa, grandma, then I'll go to school first." You have to pay attention to your health at home, and I will come back to see you this week whenever I have time. ”
After that, she said to the steward Wang on the side:
"Uncle Wang, I don't have enough experience, I have never held such a major event, and this time I can only try to learn as much as possible, so I will mainly ask you for the matter of grandpa's birthday banquet."
With that, Yuan Man bowed to Steward Wang.
Seeing this, Steward Wang stopped again and again:
"Miss, where are you? It's my honor to be able to organize a birthday banquet for my lord, and if you say that, it will be a pain in me. Moreover, you are good enough, and you have done a good job this time for the celebration of God Bless School. ”
Hearing Steward Wang's praise, Yuan Man's cheeks were slightly red:
"Uncle Wang has won the award."
Seeing Yuan Man like this, Grandpa Yuan, Grandma Yuan, and Steward Wang who were present all laughed.
Yuan Man hurriedly said, "Grandpa, grandma, Uncle Wang, I'll go first", then turned around and walked out of the living room, and the maid with the schoolbag in the back also followed and walked together.
The sunset gradually slanted, shining on Yuan Man's body who was gradually walking away, which seemed to coat Yuan Man with a layer of dim halo, making the figure of this girl seem to come out of people's memories.
Grandma Yuan seemed to see her daughter-in-law who always had a gentle smile, and couldn't help but say:
"Manman, she looks like her mother!"
nodded, but Grandpa Yuan didn't say anything.
Butler Wang, who was on the side, said:
"Master, you don't have to worry too much, Miss will be strong, and she will definitely be able to grow into a beautiful and powerful person like a young lady."
"I hope so......"
