Chapter 66 A Unique Birthday Gift
The criminal family is in her early Chinese New Year's Eve this year, but in terms of generation, she is already a grandmother, but the criminal family is well maintained, and she just gave birth to three sons last year, and now she has two sons and a daughter under her knees, which can be regarded as adding a lot of branches and leaves to the Zhen family, and the whole person naturally looks full of spirit.
Birthday on the birthday of the Southern Dynasty began in the Southern Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and generally began to celebrate birthday at the age of 50. The folk attach great importance to the birthday of every tenth birthday, which is called the birthday birthday.
However, there are no absolutes, and the birthday banquet is complicated and simple, depending on the living conditions and the social status of the person. Generally, people post to invite relatives and friends to congratulate, and the gifts include longevity peach, longevity noodles, longevity union, longevity banners, etc. The solemn person needs to set up a longevity hall, burn candles and tie the color, and the longevity is called "birthday star", in the middle hall, congratulations from relatives and friends and worship by younger generations. After the birthday gift, enter the table to drink longevity wine and eat longevity noodles. In the wealthy family, there are many people who let the opera troupe come to the house and act to entertain guests.
After the summer of the criminal family moved to a cooler garden pavilion, now in the pavilion, the longevity curtains, longevity candles, longevity peaches, longevity noodles have long been placed, looking at today's scene, there is a bit of a showmanship.
Most of the female relatives who came to celebrate their birthdays came around noon, and those who appeared early in the morning were the nephews and juniors in Zhen's mansion.
As soon as Zhen Qian appeared at the door with the two little Nizi, he immediately attracted the attention of countless people, his eyes swept around, and most of them knew each other, not that he had any impression of them, but after the amnesia, the two Xiao Nizi and Wang You around him secretly identified them, and then they remembered the faces of many people.
But even so, there are still many faces that seem unfamiliar, they should be the juniors who rarely come and go in the Zhen Mansion, or the juniors who study in the school in Zhen's hometown, or the Zhen family who deliberately came here on the Xing's birthday today, these people are not a few.
Zhen Qian deliberately slowed down, and Xiaozhu behind him whispered in his ear: "The first woman to sit in the right row is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the big house, named Fen Niang, who married a local merchant and eunuch ten years ago ......."
"The fourth female seat is the eleventh mother of the second room, married seven years ago, but I didn't expect her husband's family to die and fall ill in three years, and the year before last, she married to a family in Gaoyi, Zhaozhou, and I heard that the middle is still a ...... of criminal matchmaking."
As long as it has not appeared in Zhen's mansion before, or rarely interacts, the first time he came to the door today, Xiaozhu roughly told the name of the person, and how much he can remember depends on his own ability.
A group of people in the room were talking, suddenly saw a figure outside the door flashed and covered the light, so they invariably looked outside the door, when the Xing family saw the outsiders clearly, the expression on her face also became richer, now she is wearing a set of exquisite clothes, the light red clothes are embroidered with flowers and birds, but the grace is a little more rich and compelling, the wide skirt is behind the back, spread all over the ground, rich with a trace of elegance.
Looking at the face again, it was a slender cheek, a delicate nose, soft and full red lips, thin eyelashes like feathers, slightly bent upward, willow-like eyebrows gently together, eyelids slowly raised, looking at Zhen Qian who appeared at the door with a smile, and there was not even any joy and dissatisfaction in his tone, as plain as an ancient well: "Da Lang is here!" ”
It was such a sentence that those who knew Zhen Qian, or who knew Zhen Qian, had a strange look on their faces, and those who came to the door for the first time, or who rarely came to the door, immediately knew the identity of the person who came from the title of Xing.
Zhen Qian seemed to be completely unaware, bowed slightly to the people around him, walked straight to the front of Xing's, knelt on his knees and gave Xing's an impeccable salute, handed over the gift box with both hands, and said: "The child wishes his mother a long life and a long life!" This is a little bit of caution for the child, to relieve the mother's fatigue in the summer! ”
Xing's eyebrows raised slightly, and he was noncommittal to Zhen Qian's congratulations, but his eyes fell on the wooden box, and the maid next to him immediately took it and handed it to Xing's face, opened it and looked at it, the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and his voice was not salty or light: "Da Lang, what is this?" ”
"This is the child to help the mother to make the brocade feather fan, although the object is light, but it is a piece of the child's mind, the child for three nights of sleepless, carefully selected to find a dozen bright color, the color of the same brocade feather, and spent a whole day of careful polishing to complete, this thing is the only one in the world, worthy of being a mother's birthday gift!"
Xing wanted to take advantage of the topic, and he had already discussed it with the criminal housekeeper in private, no matter what kind of gift Zhen Qian sent to him, he was ready to pull Zhen Qian to disrespect the elders, the gift was light, it can be said that he was disrespectful to the elders, frivolous in body and mind, etc., the gift was heavy, and it was natural to say that the other party was extravagant and wasteful, and would not be diligent and thrifty, even if he chose the gift, he couldn't find anything wrong, but he wanted to add the crime without any excuse, and insinuated in front of the juniors, so that Zhen Qian lost face in front of everyone, and someone would inevitably jump out and sneer a few words.
But now Xing didn't know what he should say, and the words seemed to have been finished by the other party, and he was carefully selected, and he was meticulously polished without sleep, and said that this was the only gift of time, and he didn't know how to open his mouth when the words he thought about came to his mouth.
The criminal steward, who had long been standing on the side, was anxious, such a good opportunity may not have to wait for the next time, but it was not good to jump out directly in front of everyone, and immediately pouted in the ear of the criminal family: "Joke, this thing is only one or two hundred yuan, but it is said to be the only one in the world, and it really dares to talk nonsense with his eyes open!" ”
Xing Shi immediately came to his senses, and his face sank and said: "Da Lang, today is my birthday, and it doesn't matter if you don't give a birthday gift, but if you use such a thing to prevaricate me, is it really not my mother in your heart?" ”
Although everyone knows that the Xing family is Zhen Qian's stepmother, but the number of etiquette that people should have in front of them cannot be less, especially on a day like his birthday, even if he sends a box of longevity noodles, usually no one will directly show people his face, and when he saw Xing's face was displeased, he had only heard that there was discord between the stepmother and the eldest son, but he didn't expect that on a day like today, in front of everyone, people couldn't get off the stage.
"I've got a good show to watch today!"
At this moment, everyone was speculating about how Zhen Qian would react, whether to untie this layer of window paper in public, or continue to swallow his anger, or to be aggrieved, and immediately cast some expectant glances.
Zhen Qian sneered in his heart, he still came, he knew that the Xing clan would make a difficult statement today, and when he saw the Xing clan's reprimand, he slowly stood up from the ground, his eyes stayed on the criminal butler for a moment, and then he gave a salute to the Xing clan, his attitude did not seem to have changed in the slightest, and said in a voice that could be heard in the room: "Mother, this is indeed a unique gift in the world, since someone said no, then please tell him where this thing came from, how to use it, or can you tell how this thing was made, Otherwise, it is to provoke the feelings between mother and son, and this kind of person Zhen Mansion must not stay! ”
