Luo Ning helped the old lady to sit down on the big chair in front of the hall, and the old lady nodded at everyone with a smile: "Thank you for coming, please take a seat." ”

Before everyone could speak, they saw a family member running in in a panic and said, "My lord, the emperor has given longevity—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a thin and sharp voice at the door singing: "Old Madam Luo's birthday, the emperor congratulates you, and gives ten East Pearls, one hundred taels of gold, and a thousand brocade horses." ”

A little eunuch in a yellow robe carried the holy decree in his arms and entered the room, and the people of the Luo family hurriedly knelt down and thanked him loudly: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

The little eunuch entered the door and stood in front of the main hall, and said loudly: "This time, the emperor specially instructed that the old birthday star should not kneel to accept it in his old age. Today's old lady is seventy years old, it is a blessing from heaven, bless me Dahua pillars, the emperor personally inscribed a birthday couplet, and gave it to the birthday star. ”

The emperor gave the couplet, that is a great honor, everyone in the hall is envious, Luo Min raised his hands above his head, knelt to take the longevity, got up and unfolded in front of everyone, but saw the golden light of the royal pen, on the book: The crane extends the life of a thousand years, and the pine age is ten thousand years old.

Luo Min hurriedly ordered someone to frame and hang it, and thanked the little eunuch again, so that everyone dared to sit down. After receiving the emperor's reward and the royal alliance, the old lady was even more red and blessed.

Luo Min stepped forward and knelt at the feet of the old lady, and said respectfully: "The child wishes his mother a long and healthy life, and a long life." ”

Hai Ning and Luo Yuan knelt behind their father and said, "Grandson (daughter) wishes grandmother eternal youth and a thousand years of longevity." The old lady nodded happily and said loudly, "Sons and daughters, please get up." ”

In ancient times, there were many years of longevity, and after the filial piety and grandson worshipped, it was the turn of the guests to pay their respects. Luo Min's mother's seventieth birthday, this is a blessed life, and the number of sycophants can't be counted. This birthday greeting also comes according to the size of the official position. The black-faced Cheng De was in the first place, and he had to stand up and say two eulogies, which was secretly funny in Lin Wanrong's eyes. Everyone in the hall bowed and bowed. That Lord Yin Hou of Jinling Mansion had been sitting still, and Hou Yuebai beside him had a smile on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Above the hall, the Xiao family had no official and no position, and Xiao Yuruo naturally ranked last. It wasn't until the eldest lady stepped forward to pay her birthday and there was no one else in the hall that Hou Yuebai stood up, walked in front of the old lady, and bowed respectfully: "Yuebai and my father, I wish the old birthday star a long history of happiness and health." "Others worship their birthdays on the spot, but this kid runs up and kowtows, needless to say, naturally he wants to please Luo Ning.

The old lady smiled and said, "The little boy and Ling Zun are too polite, Min'er is not ready to help Hou Gongzi." Luo Min helped Hou Yuebai up on behalf of his mother and said, "Virtuous nephew, please get up quickly." ”

Hou Yuebai stood up and said: "Xiaosheng learned that the old birthday star loves some couplets, and today is the old birthday star Fushou, Xiaosheng has the courage to write a book and a couplet, in order to show Xiaosheng's admiration for children." ”

Everyone in the hall immediately shouted loudly, and they also understood Hou Yuebai's intentions, the reason why the Hou family worshiped again at the end was to use this couplet to finalize. Most of the people who came were originally gentlemen, and it was normal to like some couplet poems.

The old lady of the Luo family seemed to be interested: "In this case, the little boy should write it quickly, and let the old man pay tribute." "Listening to this old lady talking, it seems that she is also from a famous family, no wonder she can teach Luo Min and Luo Ning such talents.

Someone had already laid out the rice paper, pen and ink, and Hou Yuebai saluted the old lady. glanced at Luo Ning again, groaned slightly, and wrote with a wolf's brush: "From ancient times, it has been called rare and longevity, and from now on it has been happy for more than a year." ”

The old lady looked at it and nodded: "The little boy is really good at learning, and the old man is grateful." ”

Luo Ning whispered a few words in the old lady's ear, and the old lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and said with a smile: "Little boy, although the old body is a woman, but he is also a good person, today since the little boy has this Yaxing, then the old body will come out of a couplet, and enjoy it with all the poets in the hall." ”

The old birthday star came out of the couplet, this is a flattering and pleasing errand, everyone in the hall regrets it, why don't I have the heart of the old birthday boy to inquire about the preferences of the old birthday star.

The old lady thought for a while and said with a smile: "Today is the birthday celebration of the old body, and the old student will take this crane life as the theme and publish a link - the crane age frequently adds the beginning of the spring and is healthy." ”

The old birthday star came out of the couplet, and it was a happy couplet, most of the people in the hall were civil officials, and the poetry couplet was their specialty, and they suddenly thought about it. Hou Yuebai provoked this joint game, originally to grab this lottery, he sneered and glanced at Lin Wanrong, and also groaned.

Lin Wanrong was secretly amused, leaned over to Guo Wuchang's side and said, "Young Master, will you be right with this lianzi?" ”

The young master shook his head and said, "I haven't practiced this before, so I can't remember it for a while." ”

Lin Wanrong smiled and said a few words in Guo Wuchang's ear, and the young master was overjoyed, and immediately stood up and said, "Old birthday star, it's up from below." ”

Hou Yuebai was shocked, and when he saw that it was not Lin Wanrong, he relaxed in his heart, he knew Guo Wuchang's reputation, a typical kind of guy who eats milk and milks grass and does not learn and does not know how to do it, where can he be good at it.

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her cousin, the eldest lady was taken aback and said softly, "Lin San, what did you teach your cousin?" ”

Lin Wanrong said innocently: "Where did I teach 1 him, the young master is talented, and he came up by himself." ”

The eldest lady glared at him fiercely, and was worried, but she heard Guo Wuchang chanting: "The crane age is frequently added to the opening of the ten years of Qingjian, and the deer car is a hundred years old." ”

Wonderful, everyone in the hall sighed, Hou Yuebai didn't expect this Guo Wuchang to be so quick-witted, and now he has robbed the limelight, and he feels so remorseful.

The eldest lady knew very well how many pounds and taels her cousin had, and when she saw Lin Wanrong standing there with a smile, she didn't know that it was his idea, so she couldn't help but glance at him, but her face was full of smiles.

Luo Ning was also strange, when she saw Lin Wanrong, she said with a smile in front of the old ancestor, the old lady glanced at the Xiao family, nodded and smiled: "This little boy's couplet is very appropriate, and the old man is happy when he hears it." Today is a birthday celebration, and the old body simply comes to another couplet, and asks this little boy to take a look. ”

Guo Wuchang was in the limelight, and he was very happy, he couldn't care so much anymore, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "Please ask the old birthday star to ask the question." ”

Lin Wanrong and the eldest lady were taken aback, this kid is so pee, he should have seen 3 when he was in the limelight, and he still wanted to be endless?

The old lady said slowly: "My Shanglian is the sun and the moon are the only benevolent ones." ”

Guo Wuchang hurriedly glanced at Lin San for help, Lin Wanrong said in his heart, call you Saobao, now so many people are looking at you, how can I teach you?

Hou Yuebai saw that Guo Wuchang's face was gloomy, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he was about to open his mouth with a slight groan, but he heard Lin San shouting over there: "My young master is coming up-"

Everyone's eyes fell on Guo Wuchang again, Lin Wanrong walked to Guo Wuchang's side, and said with a smile: "The sun and the moon are only benevolent, my young master is right, yin and yang are really rare in ancient times." ”

Guo Wuchang secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, nodded and said, "Exactly." The sun and the moon are only benevolent, and my young master is right, yin and yang are really rare in ancient times. ”

Luo Ning glanced at Lin Wanrong, covered her lips and smiled, obviously seeing the clue, Hou Yuebai became more and more annoyed, Guo Wuchang stole the limelight twice, it was really unlucky.

The old lady nodded and said happily: "Sure enough, the little boy is very neat, the little boy is good at learning, and the old man will thank the little boy for these two good pairs." She glanced at Luo Ning next to her, and suddenly smiled: "My little granddaughter Ning'er, since she was a child, has been outstanding in poetry and has a high vision. ”

Although the old lady said it was secretive, Lin Wanrong was shocked, ouch, how is this a bit more than poetry to recruit relatives, rely on, vulgar, vulgar unbearable.

Everyone in the hall also heard that this seemed to contain such a meaning, and they immediately became in an uproar, especially those young sons, if they took the opportunity of today's birthday celebration and fun to gain the favor of the old lady and Miss Luo, it would be natural and simple to achieve good deeds.

Ge Ning didn't seem to expect that her grandmother would suddenly make this suggestion, so she blushed at the moment, and couldn't help but coquettishly say, "Grandma-"

The old lady smiled and patted her hand and said, "Ning'er, you just have to solve the question, grandma is in charge of everything." As soon as these words came out, the hall was even more lively, although the old lady did not reveal anything, but the meaning of those words made people reverie infinitely. Luo Ning hadn't thought about choosing a son-in-law, she was ashamed and anxious, but she couldn't help but glance at Lin Wanrong.

Luo Yuan understood his sister's thoughts, sneaked to Lin Wanrong's side, grabbed his arm and said, "Big brother, please-"

Lin Wanrong exclaimed: "Xiao Luo, what's the matter?" ”

Luo Yuan said anxiously: "Later, you must pick up my sister's Lianzi poems, but don't let others snatch them." ”

Lin Wanrong was taken aback, not to mention whether he could catch it or not, even if he could catch it, I couldn't take it, he said with a bitter face: "Xiao Luo, you know, I'm not interested in your sister." ”

Luo Yuan said with an embarrassed face: "I know, big brother, don't worry, my sister is only a little interested in you." I'm afraid you two won't be able to get together. But you must help with this, you also know, this Jinling Shizi, my sister doesn't have any eye-catching ones at all, I'm afraid that grandma will be happy today, and she will be on a whim-"

Lin Wanrong suddenly realized, today's old birthday star has a big birthday, and has been rewarded by the emperor, and the interest is quite high, and she still likes to make some non-nonsense associations, if she is happy for a while and allows Luo Ning out, then this wedding banquet is probably going to become a funeral banquet.

After Luo stayed away, Lin Wanrong was still hesitating whether to help or not. The eldest lady beside him listened to the words of the two in her ears, glared at him and said, "Lin San, you are not allowed to speak later!" ”
