Chapter 14: Congratulatory gifts

Liu Yunyao was a little unable to sit still by Ran Susu, she secretly hated in her heart, it was this Ran Qiunian again, she couldn't get along with her, she was really damned.

She took a deep breath, her face returned to normal, ignoring the sneering Ran Susu beside her, and opened her mouth curiously at Ran Qiunian, who was holding the moon among the stars in the hall.

"Nian'er's sister is usually the most loved by her grandmother, she came so late today, she must be preparing a big gift for her grandmother, I don't know what birthday gift my sister wants to give to my grandmother today? It also makes our sisters shine and open their eyes. ”

Liu Yunyao's words made the atmosphere in the hall freeze for a moment, and all kinds of eyes swept over Liu Yunyao and Ran Qiunian's bodies with unknown meanings, and grandmother didn't miss Liu Yunyao's words.

"Whatever Nian'er gives, my grandmother likes it."

The old lady is naturally on Ran Qiunian's side, even if Liu Yunyao's Buddhist scriptures are sent to the old lady's heart, but if she wants to bully her baby Nian'er with a Buddhist scripture, the old lady will not follow it.

Liu Yunyao only said this sentence and stopped talking.

There are so many ladies and ladies here, but they all see it in their eyes, with her share of the birthday gift in front of them, if Ran Qiunian gives it too much, even if the old lady says good things for Ran Qiunian, it will inevitably make the wives of the family leave a bad impression on Ran Qiunian.

The old lady's repeated maintenance is a symbol of partiality and injustice, and then compared with her granddaughter, who is not valued but still filial piety and etiquette, can the balance of people's hearts not be one-sided?

Liu Yunyao had a good calculation, even if Ran Qiunian didn't care about the opinions of those outsiders, she didn't want her grandmother's reputation to be blackened, but fortunately, she was prepared this time.

"Why didn't grandmother ask Nian'er what kind of birthday gift she was preparing?"

Ran Qiunian curled her lips and smiled, and generously admitted what Liu Yunyao said: "Nian'er did prepare a big gift for grandmother, and she prepared it for a while, so she came late." ”

"Oh? What gift Nian'er prepared for her grandmother, come up and take a look. ”

Grandmother was aroused by the mystery in Ran Qiunian's words, and couldn't help but follow Ran Qiunian's meaning to ask.

"The gifts in Nian'er's hand are too big to fit in this room, so Nian'er put them outside, and if grandmother wants to see them, she has to move to the yard to watch."

Ran Qiunian gestured with his hand, and what he said was serious. The atmosphere in the room was suddenly aroused, and the ladies and ladies couldn't help but guess what kind of gift Ran Qiunian was going to give.

Hmph, it's just a trick, she can't get anything when the time comes, she wants to see how this Ran Qiunian ends! Liu Yunyao sneered on her face, disdainful of Ran Qiunian's description of taking things, and didn't believe that Ran Qiunian could come up with any eye-catching birthday gifts.

"And such a birthday gift? I'm a little curious, let's go and see it now, my grandmother can't wait. ”

Ran Qiunian shook her head and smiled at her grandmother: "Now is not the best time, Nian'er wants to show Nian'er's birthday gift to her grandmother in front of all the guests, then it will be lively." ”

"You narrow girl, after bringing out your grandmother's appetite, you sold it again."

The old lady was a little unimpressed by the scene described by Ran Qiunian, and most of the interest she showed was actually to show others and save face for Ran Qiunian.

Now that Ran Qiunian said that she would show it in front of all the guests, her grandmother was a little worried that Ran Qiunian would not be able to stand it and be laughed at.

"Grandmother, just wait and see, Nian'er will definitely give you a unique birthday."

Looking at the expectant look in Ran Qiunian's eyes, grandmother finally gave in, it's just a big deal to help this girl say more good things, today is her birthday, and no one will dare to openly refute her face.

"Okay, okay, in that case, let's start the banquet quickly, grandmother can't wait to see the birthday gift you said earlier."

The group talked and laughed and went to the front hall for a banquet, Ran Qiunian was very moved by the trust given to him by his grandmother, and secretly made up his mind that he must not let Ran Lin and Liu Rumei mix up their grandmother's lively birthday like in their previous life.

When the table opened, everyone sat around the table, and more than ten tables were opened in a row before all the guests were arranged.

The team invited on the stage was singing Magu's birthday, and the guests were pushing cups and changing lamps.

Ran Qiunian was eating food without a match, and his eyes paid attention to the movements of Liu Rumei on the side.

Seeing Liu Rumei stand up and go to Ran Lin's position, Ran Qiunian's eyes were cold, it seems that these two people still chose to say those things on this day.

Of course, Ran Qiunian won't let them get their wish: "Qingxi, go and prepare, I want to cheer for my grandmother's birthday, build momentum, and make it lively and unique." ”

Qingxi nodded yes and turned to leave.

Grandmother noticed the whispering movements of Ran Qiunian and Qingxi, and couldn't help but stop her chopsticks and said jokingly.

"Nian'er is planning to give a gift to her grandmother? Halfway through the feast, all the guests are here, so it's the best time to give gifts, right? Grandmother can wait for Nian'er to present me with that one-of-a-kind gift. ”

"Grandmother, look at it."

Ran Qiunian didn't sell it again this time, winked at her grandmother, and laughed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is Ran's mother's birthday, and it is a day of great joy for the Ran family, and I, Ran Lin, also have something to ...... about"

Ran Lin stood up and said to all the guests, the old lady frowned and looked over, and saw that Liu Rumei was standing not far from Ran Lin, so she had to take a few steps forward to stand with him, and she didn't know what bastard was going to say.

However, before the old lady could stop shouting, as Ran Qiu snapped her fingers, the sound of gongs and drums sounded on all sides, covering the words that Ran Lin was about to blurt out.

"Huh? Where does the sound come from? ”

"What is this, it's so fresh."

The guests were attracted by the sound of gongs and drums sounding from nowhere, and when they looked around, no one paid attention to what Fang Ran Lin was about to say.

Ran Lin shouted a few times in embarrassment, but was not heard at all. This gong and drum noise is not just talking.

Seeing that no one was listening to Ran Lin's words, Liu Rumei's body froze in place, and she suddenly advanced or retreated.

"Look, there's something flying in the sky!"

With a surprised voice, everyone looked up at the sky, in the long blue sky, dozens of phoenixes were slowly flying, very beautiful.

"It's a phoenix!"

"No, it's kites, phoenix kites, a lot of kites."

Take a closer look, it turned out to be a phoenix kite led by a thin rope, painted with a fiery red color, floating in the sky, the sound of gongs and drums in the ears changed, and a hundred birds came out leisurely towards the phoenix.

"This is ......" The old lady couldn't help muttering as she looked at the scenery in the sky.

"Grandmother still likes it? This is the congratulatory gift that Nian'er prepared for you, and there is another one below, so you can read it carefully. ”

The phoenix kite hovered in the air for a while, and a rain of colorful paper suddenly fell from the front beak, and the colorful paper strips fluttered all over the sky, and there was a bold hand to take a note, and there were words written on it.

"I also have a word on this one--I wish Mrs. Ran a long and healthy life." One of the guests said aloud.

"I have this too, yes-Old Madam Ran is happy and worry-free." The other also read with interest.

On each of the slips of paper floating in the sky, an auspicious word was written, all of which were congratulatory messages to the old lady of Ran Mansion.

"Okay, good, Nian'er really has a heart, this gift is really a big gift, grandmother likes it very much, it should be rewarded, it should be rewarded!"

The old lady was amused by the auspicious words that the guests read one after another, and she was naturally very satisfied with Ran Qiunian's unique birthday gift.

"These colored strips are scattered everywhere, as long as anyone who picks up the note can read the congratulatory message, everyone reads a sentence, and the grandmother has thousands of blessings, and it is these thousands of blessings that Nian'er gives to the grandmother."

The corners of the old lady's eyes were a little moist, she patted Ran Qiunian's hand, and said in a loud voice: "Grandmother's Nian'er has grown up and is sensible, and grandmother really had the most unique birthday today." ”

Ran Qiunian snuggled into her grandmother's arms, rubbed her face, and whispered: "Grandmother likes it, Nian'er hopes that grandmother will only take care of things she is happy about today, and she won't have any worries." ”

Liu Yunyao looked at the flowing reward behind her back, and just such a sentence was continuously sent into Ran Qiunian's house, and the jealous ones were about to change their faces.

Why did she copy the scriptures for a month, but she couldn't match Ran Qiunian's words, why everyone's eyes were on Ran Qiunian, why could Ran Qiunian easily get what she couldn't get if she fought so hard.

The seeds of resentment took root and sprouted in Liu Yunyao's heart, and feeling the force coming from her shoulder, Liu Yunyao lowered the look in her eyes and turned to look: "Mother." ”

"Yun Yao, put away the jealousy on your face."

Liu Rumei looked coldly at Ran Qiunian's ancestors and grandchildren who were snuggled together, and then looked at Ran Lin, who had completely eliminated the original plan not far behind him, and the hand hidden in the wide sleeve clenched into a fist, scratching the palm without realizing it.

"It's a great day!" Ran Qiunian had dinner, and after returning to the house, he completely relaxed towards Qingxi: "Liu Yunyao's face is going to be crooked, and she has to endure smiling at me, I really want to ask a painter to paint that scene, it's rare, it's rare." ”

"How did Mademoiselle come up with such a good idea? The slave and maid hired craftsmen to work overtime day and night to finally make those exquisite phoenix kites, and the phoenix beak hides must be able to fly so steadily, if it weren't for the drawings that Miss took out, I'm afraid those skilled craftsmen would not be able to make such good things. ”

Ran Qiunian's expression was slightly restrained, and Qingxi's words evoked memories of her previous life, of course she didn't come up with this drawing herself, and she also thanked her for her "good husband", this thing was specially made by him that day in order to please her.

"Birds and Phoenix", of course, is beautiful, she is so lazy and willing to come to the drawings to ponder carefully, although in the end she couldn't make it herself, but she kept the drawings in her mind.

"It's not a rare thing, and being able to amuse my grandmother is already a good thing. In the future, this thing will not have to appear in front of Miss Ben again. ”
