Except for Mrs., all the guests present were dumbfounded, this scene in front of them was beyond everyone's expectations, isn't it a comedy of birthday celebrations, how did it become a tragic drama of recognizing relatives, what is this called!

Li Mingyuan helped the old lady to sit down, turned around and made a grimace at the little guy in his wife's arms, making the little guy keep rolling and laughing in his wife's arms.

"Today, grandma is 70 years old, and I can't come empty-handed as a grandson, so I specially prepared two small things for the old lady and the little marquis!" Li Mingyuan took the brocade box from Yuxin's hand and said with a smile.

The old lady, who was already in a good mood, was even happier when she heard that Li Mingyuan had prepared a birthday gift for herself, but she still wanted to criticize her two sentences and should not spend her mind on this, but when she heard that not only she had a share, but even her baby grandson also had a share, the words of criticism came to her mouth and swallowed it again, the child is her lifeblood, as long as it is for the child, she feels that she can forgive everything!

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Li Mingyuan took out a golden melon shining necklace from the brocade box, the necklace is not very big, it can be seen at a glance that it is for children, and the ingenious thing is that there is also a delicate small gold Guanyin hanging in the middle of the necklace, which makes the original ordinary gold necklace look a little more auspicious.

"The saint has clouds: men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha! Although the little Hou Ye is still a child, Mingyuan believes that it will not be long before he will grow into a man as brave as Hou Ye! Li Mingyuan said as he carefully put the necklace on the little guy, and the little guy who was originally making a lot of trouble actually knew how to cooperate motionlessly, which made many people admire in their hearts that these two people must have been destined in their last life.

"Okay, I didn't expect this to be said by a saint, Mingyuan's book really didn't read in vain!" The old lady looked at her baby grandson playing with the necklace with a happy face, and she couldn't stop smiling.

Mrs. changed the position of the child and hugged it, raised her head and glanced at Li Mingyuan meaningfully, obviously knowing that Li Mingyuan was talking nonsense, but she didn't expose it, but excused herself, "Mingyuan's chain is very good, since Bin'er's longevity lock was removed, I still wanted to use something to hang around my neck, but I didn't expect you to think of it for me, it's really difficult for you!" ”

Li Mingyuan was already a little weak by his wife, and after hearing that his wife didn't delve into his own meaning, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Li Gongzi, we have seen this little marquis's gift, so what kind of gift did you prepare for the old lady, take it out and let our big guys take a look!" There was a bold young lady who coaxed on the side.

Li Mingyuan despised this girl who didn't know which daughter she was in her heart, and pretended to be helpless and said, "This young lady is embarrassing Mingyuan, the gift I prepared for the old lady will be presented when everyone gives gifts in a unified manner, otherwise people will say that I don't understand the rules behind my back!" ”

"I see who dares!" The old lady sat in the first seat and said very imposingly.

"Mother, what Mingyuan said makes sense, I don't think we are in a hurry at this time, wait until everyone unifies the gift, and then let Mingyuan present it!" The lady on the side suggested in a whisper.

The old lady, who couldn't wait to know what else was in the brocade box, had to nod unwillingly, and muttered at the same time, "Who set the rules, the birthday gift given by his grandson can't be seen in advance, what is this called?" ”

After muttering this sentence, the old lady didn't pay attention to the eyes of everyone, and with the support of Li Mingyuan, he got up and walked into the middle hall to accept the congratulations of the distinguished guests.

As soon as Li Mingyuan entered the middle hall with the old lady in his arms, the master of ceremonies guarding the door immediately said loudly, "The old birthday star has arrived!" ”

The guests in the hall suddenly fell silent, everyone stood up one after another, and bowed their hands in the direction of the old lady, and Xiahou Yong, who was drinking with the guests, also put down the wine glass and ran over with a little drunkenness, "Mother, you are here, come to the seat, these civil and military officials, relatives and friends are here to celebrate your birthday!" ”

People came to celebrate their birthdays, of course the old lady couldn't put on a score, with the support of Li Mingyuan, followed Xiahou Yong to meet a few major guests one by one, the most honorable of course is the son of King Liang, the heir to the throne Zhao Xingfu little prince. Although King Liang and Xiahou Yong have a good personal relationship, this cannot be put on the surface, otherwise in front of the emperor who has a heart, saying that the vassal king is befriending a general who holds military power, then he will not be able to say clearly. So King Liang sent his precious son to celebrate his birthday.

"Old lady, my father said that he is really entangled and can't come to your old man's birthday celebration, so he specially asked the younger generation to accompany you, and if there is time in the future, my father will personally come to the door to make amends!" Zhao Xingfu is a handsome descendant who is about the same size as Li Mingyuan, and his words and deeds are quite the true biography of King Liang, and he has a bit of demeanor.

King Liang couldn't come for anything, and the old lady could guess nine times out of ten in his heart, so he didn't mean to blame, and after laughing, he enthusiastically asked Zhao Xingfu to eat and drink well here, don't be restrained, just like in his own home.

After the introduction of the prince of Liangwang, the next step should be Liangzhou Prefecture Mufang Zhiyi, that is, Xiahou Yong's father-in-law. But for some reason, today Fang Zhi did not come to congratulate the old lady on his birthday, but let his son Fang Yantao come instead of himself, King Liang let his son come There is no way, but you Fang Zhiyi also let his son come, then it is a little too much. Not to mention that the status of the two in the officialdom is almost the same, even this relationship is also a family, the old lady is also your Fang Zhiyi's mother-in-law, your mother-in-law celebrates her birthday, your Fangzhou Mu is really so busy, don't you even have time to come over to celebrate your birthday? Therefore, this Xiahou Yong also held back the fire in his belly, directly crossed Fang Yantao, and introduced other officials in Liangzhou.

The old lady doesn't know this official or that official, anyway, as long as it is her son who greets her, she also shows goodwill, and she can't embarrass her son.

After a circle of people were introduced, Xiahou Yong introduced Fang Yantao after the most reluctance.

"Mother, this is Yan Tao, the son of Fangzhou Mu, have you seen it, do you still have an impression?" Xiahou Yong pointed to his brother-in-law and introduced it to the old lady.

The old lady looked at Fang Yantao carefully, and said with a loving smile, "Sure enough, it's Yantao, who has grown up and become handsome, not as naughty as when he was a child!" ”

To everyone's surprise, Fang Yantao only arched his hand arrogantly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he responded with a smile. This scene made the faces of several people around him a little ugly, even the prince of Liang Wang was not so arrogant, what do you mean by Fang Yantao, a junior, doing this!

The old lady regarded himself as his own, of course Li Mingyuan couldn't watch this guy who came out of nowhere pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here, and when he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, he was grabbed by the old lady and signaled him not to act rashly.

Under the old lady's forbearance, everyone did not get angry, Fang Yantao looked even more arrogant, and gossiped with Ma Yangping on the side, and his hateful face made Li Mingyuan have the urge to slap him.

After seeing the guests, Li Mingyuan and Xiahou Yong helped the old lady to sit down on the upper seat, and then Li Mingyuan stepped aside, and Xiahou Yong walked to the old lady, stood upright, lifted the placket of the robe in the spotlight, knelt on both knees, respectfully kowtowed to the old lady three times, and said loudly, "Today is the 70th birthday of the mother, the child kowtows to you, I wish you good health and all the best!" ”

Xiahou Yong's actions made the old lady's heart bloom, and she smiled even more from ear to ear, and said again and again, "Okay, good, my son has a heart, get up, get up!" ”

The maid on the side immediately walked up with a tray containing red envelopes, the old lady took out a red envelope and handed it to his son, Xiahou Yong took the red envelope with both hands, and said with a smile, "Xie Lu Xie Niang!" ”

Fang Yantao, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, saw that his titular brother-in-law and mother, although he was an old lady with a commandment, was completely an old lady from the countryside when he looked at his actions, and he couldn't get into the hall of elegance at all, and he was even more contemptuous in his heart. After seeing Xiahou Yongtang's kowtow, the old lady even wanted to give a red envelope, which was really ridiculous, and couldn't help but sneer.

Originally, everyone was watching Xiahou Yong kowtow to the old lady, so although there were many people in the middle hall, it was also very quiet, although Fang Yantao's sneer was not loud, but most of the people heard it, and for a while, everyone looked at Fang Yantao.

The green tendons on the forehead of Taishou Ma Yangping, who was sitting next to him, of course he knew what kind of urine this precious son of his Shangguan was, and he was arrogant, and the sneer just now was definitely deliberate. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the son of the state pastor, Ma Yangping really wanted to stay away from this guy. Although his relationship with Xiahou Yong is not so harmonious, but it is also very important, today is the birthday of someone's mother, no matter how unpleasant it is on weekdays, today we must lower our attitude, this is the most basic human nature,

In fact, Ma Yangping really guessed correctly, Fang Yantao's sneer was indeed intentional to a large extent. This kid is from a noble background, his father is a feudal official, and he is an old man, so he is naturally very fond of him, how can he afford a rough person like Xiahou Yong with a golden spoon. In addition, he and his wife were not born to the same mother, so the relationship between sister and brother is just like that, and this kind of combination has led to his dominance today.

Ma Yangping was afraid that others would think that Fang Yantao's actions were instigated behind his back, and if Xiahou Yong took this revenge on himself at that time, he would really jump into the Yellow River and not be able to wash it away.

Fortunately, although the old lady heard Fang Yantao's laughter, he didn't seem to plan to investigate further, his face was still happy, and he couldn't see that he was going to get angry, which made Ma Yangping secretly relieved in his heart, and hurriedly pulled Fang Yantao's sleeve and said, "Tao'er, don't be rude, today is a day of great joy, don't come out of your temperament, otherwise Lord Zhou Mu will inevitably reprimand you!" ”
