Located in the heart of the Copper City, Fenglin Pavilion is the tallest building in the entire Copper City, with 18 floors. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since 8 o'clock in the morning today, the place has been lively, and almost all the staff are involved in the work of setting up the site in the lobby on the first floor.

The reason is naturally one of the eight major families in Tongcheng, the helmsman of the Gongsun family, and the 88th birthday of the grandmother of Gongsun.

Six o'clock in the evening.

The parking lot next to the main building of Maple Grove Pavilion began to have all kinds of luxury carriages entering, and there was a very professional parking system here.

The largest parking space has four adult horses next to each other, and it is equipped with professional troughs and bars.

The forage is also transported from Wuzhuang Mountain, more than 30 miles outside the copper city, and there are also cleaning and maintenance attendants for the carriages.

And the cost of such a service is naturally not cheap, 88 yuan / hour.

Soon, a pine carriage pulled by two horses of snow pulled into the parking lot and stopped in an inconspicuous place.

Inside the car, Orchid held an ordinary pine box and observed left and right for a long time, with a little inexplicable on her face.

"Miss, is it worth it for you to exchange our living expenses for half a year for such a letter?"

Gongsun Lan's face didn't have too much expression.

"There's no way, there's a problem with the Dongcheng mine that my father is in charge of, and the eldest uncle and they took this opportunity to desperately suppress my father, and in order to calm down this matter, my father is about to be unable to hold on."

"Now we can only gamble, if this time the old grandmother likes this calligraphy and painting, can get the lottery set by the old grandmother, and my father can also take a breath for a while."

Orchid nodded, but when Ma Liang was mentioned, he was angry.

"But Miss, you said that this person is really talented and learned, and he is still a charlatan, what kind of rule is this, the words are not allowed to be seen, and the birthday star himself must open the package, can this work?"

Gongsun Lan looked at the very ordinary pine box and sighed.

"I don't know, let's take a gamble."

With that, the two of them got out of the carriage.

Just then, two more carriages drove into the parking lot.

One was a white oak carriage pulled by four thousand miles of snow, and the other was a black pine carriage pulled by four black-maned horses, both of which were luxury cars of great value.

"It's the third lady of the third master's family, Gongsun Xue. and the second son of the second master's family, Gongsun Jian. ”

Orchid said with a solemn gaze.

Gongsun Lan also recognized it, these two people usually squeeze them, and this time it must be indispensable.

So Gongsun Lan didn't intend to say hello, so he walked towards Fenglin Pavilion, but soon the two of them were stopped by Gongsun Jian and Gongsun Xue.

"Lan Lan, don't say hello when you see the third sister and the second brother, it's not good."

Gongsun Xue was wearing a splendid dress, and asked Gongsun Lan in a weird manner.

Gongsun Lan is turning back.

"I've seen the third sister and the second brother."

Gongsun Jian smiled, and walked over to touch Gongsun Lan's head, but was dodged by Gongsun Lan.

"Oh, you said that our third sister is good-looking, no wonder she will be taken by the youngest son of the city lord of Tongcheng, I think the third sister will marry you, although that guy is a little perverted, but in this case, the fourth uncle will soar all of a sudden, don't you say?"

Seeing this, Gongsun Xue also hurriedly came over to be sad.

"Yes, it's better than being angry at our grandson's house. But it's no wonder that others, who let the fourth uncle not be angry, such a big mine collapsed, so many people died, if it wasn't for the help of the city lord of the copper city, the fourth uncle probably wouldn't be able to come back in this life. ”

When Gongsun Lan heard this, she glared at Gongsun Xue angrily.

"You ......"

Orchid pulled Gongsun Lan, and this Gongsun Lan resisted the impulse in his heart.

"Eldest sister, second brother, you talk, I'll go in first."

After Gongsun Lan finished speaking, he no longer cared about the cynicism of the two behind him, and walked straight into the Fenglin Pavilion.

……

After Ma Liang sent Gongsun Lan away, he first improved the food, and then saved the rest of the money.

After all, you don't have to wait until the next business, and you don't want to live that kind of moonlight clan life again.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Ma Liang was still sitting in the Shenbi Pavilion, looking at the crowd of people coming and going, and he couldn't sit still.

After thinking about it, the girl who bought his words said that she was going to celebrate her grandmother's birthday in Fenglin Pavilion today.

Anyway, I don't have anything to do, it's better to go around, on the one hand, it's a distraction, after all, I've been in this copper city for some time, and I haven't gone shopping yet.

On the other hand, Ma Liang also wanted to see if his words had an eye-catching effect.

Because Ma Liang heard Gongsun Lan say that her grandmother was married to the Tang Dynasty and should be regarded as a literati.

So, Ma Liang got up, put on a decent blue robe, called a carriage, and came to Fenglin Pavilion.

Then, on the gift gold table, the bookkeeper spent 200 floors of Lan Yuan under the disdainful gaze of the bookkeeper, and entered the hall of the Fenglin Pavilion.

"I'm going, there are theme hotels in this era?"

The hall of Fenglin Pavilion covers an area of 1,000 square meters, and the distance between the top and bottom is more than ten meters, and at a glance, you can't even see the decoration on the roof of the shed.

The walls of the hall are decorated with the walls of a mountain, and there are some plants and trees that grow on the mountain walls, which is very realistic.

As for the floor, it is not modern marble or the flooring commonly used in restaurants in ancient times.

It is a simulated mountain made of some sand, gravel and soil, and there are a lot of maple trees in the middle of the mountain, and the leaves fall from the trees from time to time, mixed with a trace of the unique fragrance of maple leaves, which is very quiet.

Ma Liang stood in the hall, feeling the atmosphere around him, and he really felt like he was in the deep mountain maple forest.

At this time, the hall was full of friends, and almost all of them were seated in their seats during the reserved time.

Ma Liang originally came to see the excitement, but he didn't know anyone anyway, and he didn't have any scruples, so he randomly found a seat and sat down.

Then he began to taste the pastries on the table that were used to entertain the guests, not minding the disdainful glances cast by the people around him.

A moment later, from behind the curtain in the center of the hall came an old woman, wrinkled and a little old, gorgeously dressed and holding a wooden staff of good texture.

This person is today's protagonist, the only female patriarch in the eight major families, the old grandmother of Gongsun, and the Gongsun Wang family.

There are four people beside the old grandmother, those are her four sons, the eldest son Gongsun Kang, the second son Gongsun Du, the third son Gongsun Lu, and the fourth son Gongsun Liang.

The appearance of the old grandmother instantly attracted everyone's attention, and they all rose up to greet her one after another.

The old grandmother walked in the crowd, and the parents were short, and there was no word to say to the people around her.

When he walked to a long table in front of him with a good position, a middle-aged man in a black robe appeared as far as his eyes could see.

When the old grandmother saw this person, she hurriedly went over.

"I didn't expect the second son to come, the old woman was disappointed, and she hoped to forgive her sins."

The black-robed man didn't get up, nor did he reply, but drank two sips of tea in his hand before he said something after a long time.

"No need, if my father didn't let me come, I wouldn't have bothered to attend this occasion, I've already delivered the gift, so be it."

After speaking, the black-robed man didn't care about the embarrassed looks of everyone in the Gongsun family, turned around and left his seat with his entourage.

Orchid saw this scene on the side of Gongsun Lan and scolded angrily in a low voice.

"Isn't he Nalan Hong relying on his father to be the lord of Copper City? Without his father, he was a fart, and he actually treated our grandmother like this. ”

Gongsun Lan pulled the orchid.

"No way, people must be the rulers of this copper city, with military power in their hands, our eight major families look at the scenery, in fact, we still look at people's faces to eat, just bear with it."

The old grandmother sent Nalanhong away, and did not show too much embarrassment, walked back to the chairman and sat down neatly, and began to accept congratulations from the Quartet.

"The third son of the second master's family, Gongsun Yu sent a pair of 'Golden Gate Mirrors'."

"The second lady of the third master's family, Gongsun Fei sent a 'purple gold spittoon'."

"The second lady of the uncle's family, Gongsun Mo gave a 'silver jade axe'."

"The eldest son of the fourth master's family, Gongsun Jie gave a 'copper bird pot'."

……

This grandmother's birthday is a major event for the grandson's family every year, and almost from old to young, she will prepare gifts for her grandmother, so every year her grandmother will receive a lot of gifts.

Over the years, an unwritten rule has been formed, and the person who gives the gift that best suits the grandmother's heart will be rewarded by the grandmother with an inheritance, as for what it is, it is unknown.

Therefore, these children and grandchildren of the old grandmother are also painstakingly trying to fight for more benefits for themselves or their parents.

However, at first, the gold and silver utensils given by some members of the family seemed to be priceless, but they did not make the old grandmother particularly happy.

Gongsun Lan looked at the pine box with the seal in his hand, and his confidence also increased a little.

But at this moment, Zhao Haoran, the housekeeper who reported the gift, suddenly shouted loudly.

"The third lady of the third master's family, Gongsun Xue sent a copy of the 'Tongcheng third-level calligraphy master Liang Shuishan's birthday poems'."

When Gongsun Lan and Orchid heard this, they were shocked.

When Ma Liang heard this, he was also a little surprised.

"Huh? Is there a hierarchy of calligraphy and painting skills here? ”
