The old man's face flashed a trace of impatience, "Xiaofeng, go play by yourself, grandpa is still preparing to give a speech." ”

Aunt Jin Gui of Sheng Yanfeng walked over from among the guests and said with a smile, "Xiaofeng, it's good that grandpa understands your mind, don't embarrass grandpa today, ah?" ”

"It's not! I really had a gift for my grandfather! It won't delay grandpa's time. ”

Sheng Yanfeng stood up straight, and he had to open the gift now.

So that grandpa can be happy!

Otherwise, my cousin will steal the limelight again this year.

His cousins, including his brother, did not dare to compete with his cousin.

He knows all of this.

He turned around and looked through the crowd for a while, and saw a display table with cardboard boxes randomly placed in a corner of the banquet hall, and on the display table, all kinds of gift boxes were neatly stacked.

This year, I can't say anything about letting my cousin steal the limelight first!

Sheng Yanfeng quietly straightened his suit and beckoned to the waiter: "Go, bring the square cardboard box placed on the side of the display table." ”

The waiter walked briskly to the display table and pointed to the box in an ordinary cardboard box.

Sheng Yanfeng nodded at him.

The waiter came back cautiously holding the cardboard box, "Second young master, do you want to open it?" ”

Grandpa Sheng Yanfeng frowned directly, "Xiaofeng, wait for grandpa to be empty at night." ”

His aunt smiled and said: "It seems that our Xiaofeng is full of energy this year, Dad, you might as well take a look, anyway, it's a child's little trouble, you can satisfy his eagerness to give gifts." ”

Sheng Yanfeng couldn't listen to his aunt's sarcastic tone.

Although I don't hate my aunt, but aunt, your whole family doesn't have to show off at grandpa's birthday banquet every year!

Sheng Yanfeng saw his brother and guests walking into the venue, talking and laughing all the way.

He immediately put down his upright figure and made a horse step squat beside his grandfather.

"Grandpa! You take a look first, just a look. ”

Sheng Lao looked displeased and reprimanded: "You kid are still energetic?!" ”

……

At this moment, Chu Xiaoxiao is like an ant on a hot pot, it has been almost half an hour, and he hasn't met other rich second generations.

At this time, the birthday star and other guests were greeting.

A waiter came to their table and respectfully asked, "Miss Chu, hello! Our eldest lady, Ye Xiwei, invites you to take a seat in the women's guest area over there. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up excitedly, "Thank you!" ”

Then, desperately rushed to the direction of the richest daughter.

Xu Mu noticed that Ye Xiwei's table was already full.

The tables around her were also full.

After Chu Xiaoxiao passed, he was arranged behind the two round tables away from Ye Xiwei.

In other words, Chu Xiaoxiao sat at a table with many strange guests, and he could only look at the richest man's daughter.

Xu Mu sipped on a fine tea.

Looking at this scene from afar, many complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

Why should women embarrass themselves? What is the purpose of plunging headlong into a circle that does not belong to you?

Xu Mu shook his head and laughed, his eyes wandered among the guests, and finally landed at the main table far away.

and Sheng Yanfeng at the main table.

What is this guy doing?

The grandson of a wealthy family has to be so wronged by himself, condescending to squat beside his grandfather?

Xu Mu put his hand on his cheek and looked at Sheng Yanfeng's seemingly unpleasant expression.

Bored to take out your phone and watch.

On the mobile phone, there was a message from Gu Hao.

Gu Hao told him that Bian Shen didn't like him and temporarily accepted Chen Zixiao to join their studio as an intern.

Xu Mu had already guessed this result.

Although, early in the morning, he called Bian Shen and told him in detail about the situation of the two friends.

Sure enough, Bian Shen still chose Chen Zixiao, who is a solid learner.

However, Xu Mu thought about it, and still sent a message to Gu Hao to comfort: "Don't worry, I'll think about finding something for you to do." ”

At this time, the banquet hall resounded with the warm greeting of the butler.

The director of the manor took the microphone and said a few words,

The banquet hall fell silent in an instant.

"Today, welcome to Shengjing Manor to celebrate our birthday, and receive the valuable gifts from you, Sheng Lao is very happy, and has instructed us to register them one by one."

Xu Mu raised his head and looked in the middle of the banquet hall.

I saw a half-aged man in a suit holding a microphone and talking.

This person has a bit of the taste of a British butler.

It deserves to be a real giant.

"Now, before the banquet begins, Elder Sheng will give a speech and thank all the distinguished guests."

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he motioned to the waiter waiting next to the birthday boy and handed the microphone to Sheng Lao.

Sheng Lao took the microphone and stood up with his body in a vermilion Tang suit, his voice like a bell.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today, on behalf of our family, I would like to thank you for your tireless efforts to come all the way ......."

Just as the birthday star was speaking, an old man wearing a white tunics appeared at the door of the banquet hall.

There are also two security guards beside the old man to lead him.

When the guests entered the banquet hall, they laughed, "Brother Sheng! Congratulations, congratulations. ”

The birthday boy's speech was forced to be suspended.

Waiting with a smile on his face, the VIP approached.

The old man in the white tunic looked like he was in his sixties, and strode up to the birthday star to greet him warmly.

In front of everyone's eyes, the two shook hands happily, and the birthday star patted the visitor's shoulder.

"Welcome, drink, I thought you weren't here today."

"Huh?! Brother Sheng's birthday, how could I not come? Not only did I come, but I also brought you a gift. As he spoke, the old man beckoned to the young man standing at the door of the banquet hall, "Present the gift." ”

The birthday star hurriedly said humbly, "You are really particular about ......"

The young man trotted in front of the two old men with a scroll in his hand, and respectfully presented it, "Elder Sheng!" This is a birthday gift from Professor Bai, wishing you a better life than Nanshan! ”

Sheng Lao smiled and was about to order the waiter to take it away.

Professor Bai stretched out his hand to stop him.

turned around, glanced around at the full hall of guests, deliberately approached Sheng Lao and whispered:

"Last time, when we went to visit the museum, weren't you a rare painting from the Song Dynasty? I'll give you a copy. ”

Sheng Lao's eyes lit up, "Really? ”

"That's right! So, let's take a look first, why not? ”

In front of the guests, the two old men instructed the waiters to open the scrolls.

At this time, Aunt Sheng Yanfeng stood up from the main table with a deep smile, "Dad! Professor Bai. ”

Professor Bai waved at her, "Hello, Laneige. ”

Sheng Lanzhi turned his head and pointed to the display stand and said:

"We received so many gifts today, even if you want to open the gifts in public, you have to come first and come later?"

Professor Bai laughed, "Laneige's mouth is still so sharp." ”

Sheng Lao was embarrassed.

Of course, he knows that today's birthday gift is extraordinary, precious jewelry, jade, and antiques.

But......

Seeing this, Sheng Yanfeng hurriedly got up from the chair, "Grandpa! I'm sending a pair of calligraphy works, why don't you take a look at them as well? ”

Aunt Sheng Yanfeng laughed directly.

I turned my head to look at Sheng Yanfeng's parents angrily, and saw that my brother and sister-in-law didn't say anything.

However, it doesn't prevent her, an aunt, from helping them educate a stinky boy!

"Sheng Yanfeng! What are you in a hurry to give gifts? Grandpa didn't even open the gift from my aunt. ”

turned to walk down directly from the table, walked to the old father, and saw that his father had a gloomy face, so he smiled and said, "Professor Bai, otherwise, you will go to the table and sit down first?" ”

Sheng Lao was furious, "Sheng Lanzhi! Go back and sit down! ”

The sons of the Sheng family didn't say anything, but you are a girl who splashed out!

was reprimanded by the old couple in public, Sheng Lanzhi was bored, so she had to laugh and return to her seat and sit down.

"Open the scroll."

The old man commanded in a majestic voice.

The waiter carefully presented the scroll on the table.

The old man's face softened, and when he saw this painting that was so expressive even if it was rubbing, his expression was relaxed.

"Grandpa! The calligraphy I gave me is a rare and excellent work in the world, and you really don't want to see it? ”

Ye Xiwei's chest burst out with anger.

Danko's slender fingers held a glass of champagne and gracefully left the table, smiling at his cousin as he walked over.

"Xiaofeng, you have repeatedly begged your grandfather to see your gifts, then, grandfather, satisfy him."

Saying this, Ye Xiwei snorted and said: "Although this year, I prepared a high-grade jade zodiac cow for my grandfather, but well, I think these are vulgar things, or Xiaofeng's gifts are elegant and stylish." ”

Sheng Yanfeng's father also laughed loudly: "Dad! Since our family Xiaofeng has a heart, we will satisfy him. ”

A few days ago, he received a photo taken by his son and saw this calligraphy work.

It is indeed the best in the world.

He also told his son to keep it well these days and not to be remembered by thieves.

"You open the cardboard box and let your grandfather see it and start the banquet early, so as not to delay the guests to eat." Ye Xiwei ordered.

Sheng Lao was helpless.

He really doesn't want his son and grandson to lose face.

I had to nod my head and allow the carton to be opened.

Seeing this, many guests got up from their seats and walked to the main seat to watch.

Good guys, such a big frame.

If it's really a calligraphy work, don't you make up the number of words?

The old man thought so, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, he really didn't want to hurt his own grandson in front of the VIPs of all directions.

Helplessly, the domineering son of his family was stunned, so he had to open the gift of his cub in public......

It took a few waiters a bit of effort to get the rectangular frame out of the cardboard box.

Carried to Elder Sheng, "Elder Sheng, please see-"

The old man fixed his eyes and suddenly shook his eyes, "This is ...... The Story of Yueyang Tower? ”

"That's right! Grandpa, it's exactly the Yueyang Lou you like. Hand over Grandpa's reading glasses. Sheng Yanfeng commanded happily.

The old man got his glasses and immediately put them on, overjoyed, "This handwriting is absolutely amazing!" ”

Professor Bai is a master calligrapher, and when he heard this, he immediately leaned over and said, "Wow! Where did you buy this?! ”

Sheng Yanfeng was still obediently lying in his own position, hehe smiled, "I asked a friend to write it." ”

"Friends? Which friend?! Professor Bai snatched the frame directly from the birthday star.

Sheng Yanfeng turned around and looked at the author in the corner, "Xu Mu, come here!" ”

Xu Mu was extremely reluctant to get involved in the bloody housework of these wealthy families.

Chu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the unfamiliar women's guest area, had a smile on her face.

She knew that Xu Mu had really cultivated a good hand.

So don't worry about things going wrong.

Hearing this, Xu Mu had already felt the malicious fancy show-off of Aunt Sheng Yanfeng's family.

And the shameless hustle and bustle!

However, I had no choice but to stand up and walk in front of the old man, and called politely, "Hello grandpa, I am Sheng Yanfeng's friend, Xu Mu." ”

The two old men immediately looked at Xu Mu and couldn't help but look at each other.

Sheng Lao even took off his reading glasses and looked at Xu Mu in disbelief: "You really wrote this?" ”

Xu Mu nodded, "Yes, Xiaosheng is not talented, and his handwriting is shallow, I don't know if grandpa likes it?" ”

Ye Xiwei immediately burst into laughter, walked over, and patted Xu Mu's shoulder.

"Little handsome guy! I'm dying early in the morning, say something human, ok? ”

Xu Mu's clear eyes were a little silly and straightforward: "Sister teach me." ”

Sheng Yanfeng laughed directly and went crazy.

"Yo! I didn't see it, but it was really a talent. Ye Xi quipped.

The light of his eyes also deliberately glanced in the direction of Chu Xiaoxiao.

The guests gathered around to see the fine calligraphy works.

There were also several guests present who knew Professor Bai, an old professor of Tunghai University, and everyone in the calligraphy industry.

His works have long been hung into thousands of households by the people of the East China Sea as almanac calligraphy and paintings.

If Professor Bai praises the work, it must be good.

……

"Professor Bai, how did you appreciate the work?"

Ye Xiwei didn't want his cousin to snatch the scenery, so he asked deliberately.

Suddenly, the master on the side had a tense face, his eyes were full of shock, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then looked at Xu Mudao: "Young man, this calligraphy work is really from your handwriting?" Didn't unite with the second young master of the Sheng family to deceive Elder Sheng? ”

What do you mean by that? I'm a grandfather who came to the Sheng family to meet my good friend for the first time, what do I need to deceive my grandfather? ”

Regarding the master's shock, Xu Mu asked rhetorically with a confused look.

The guests standing next to them felt that the young man in front of him, who was not good-looking, must have done something with the second young master of the Sheng family.

deliberately gossiped in front of Sheng Lao:

"Young man, isn't it good to be honest?"

"Young man, you have to have a little conscience."

"It's ...... to have a good atmosphere with you young people."

"Oops! Second Young Master, this shouldn't be. ”

"I heard that the second young master has never lived in the Sheng family, obviously, did you meet a scheming friend outside?"

"Definitely! The little brother is young, don't say that he has such attainments in front of the master of the expert! ”

Xu Mu looked at the faces of the guests.

He was also confused.

How can a good calligraphy work become a deception?

However, Sheng Yanfeng was not in a hurry to explain.

On the contrary, with a bystander-like expression, he accepted everyone's accusations without any doubt.

Immediately came to a cool pose, rubbing his chin with one hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile.

It's clear that the master has gone crazy for this work!

The eyes are greedy, and the lines read the magnificent, majestic and chic Yueyanglou ink in the watch frame!

However, the master was confused.

For no other reason, in the calligraphy world, he has seen almost all the famous master works.

Who's attainments, what kind of handwriting, and which school of calligraphy they practice, everyone knows each other very well.

But this "Yueyang Tower" is really the first time I have seen it.

Sheng Lao's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he said slowly, "That's it! Everyone is seated first. ”

He repeatedly blocked it, just because he didn't want to make such a joke.

Words, good words, superb calligraphy works.

But......

I don't know where I came from.

The master read the last word excitedly and said excitedly: "Elder Sheng! Although this work, we don't know the number of roads, but it's really a masterpiece in the world! ”

Sheng Lao: "......"

Wouldn't he be able to see it?!

Over the years, he has also been practicing calligraphy diligently.

Every day, whenever I have free time, I copy ancient books and masterpieces in the study.

"Why don't you let the second son tell us, which expert's masterpiece is it?"

Sheng Lao couldn't stand the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, and helplessly held his forehead, "Xiaofeng, tell the master ......"

He was no longer able to round the field.

Sheng Yanfeng sneered, "I have already told you, and I have called people to you." ”

The master was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the young man with a calm expression.

looked at Xu Mu again in disbelief, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "If it is really your work, little brother, then you can write a word for the old man on the spot!" ”

Handwriting can't always deceive people.

The master's suggestion was immediately met with everyone.

Ye Xiwei knew that his cousin wanted to curry favor in front of his grandfather, so he smiled, took a sip of champagne, and turned to look at his cousin, "Xiaofeng!" Today is my grandfather's eighty-third birthday, do you honor his old man so much? ”

Sheng Yanfeng looked at Xu Mu, "Otherwise, you will write two more words to grandpa?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Write two words, let's see. ”

Which is true and which is false, you can know at a glance.

Xu Mu doesn't want to be ugly.

I really don't want to.

He controlled his grades on school exams.

If this is known to everyone, wherever he goes in the future, everyone will ask him to write a few words!

Then he won't be annoyed to death!

Seeing this, Sheng Yanfeng walked over in a nervous mood, grabbed Xu Mu's shoulders, and said seriously and seriously: "Write!" I pay as it is. ”

The master was deeply stunned again, "What did you say?" Paid for? ”

Sheng Yanfeng had no choice but to say truthfully: "That's right! Professor Bai, you have also seen it, how can people easily show their hands when they are such a masterpiece? ”

The guests were talking.

Sheng Lao, as today's birthday star, the absolute protagonist, can't stand it, "Young man! I've never liked to play falsely, if this work is really from your hand, no matter how much money our Xiaofeng gave you before, you can help me write two more words! A thousand words! ”

Beep beep.

The audience was in an uproar.

Xu Mu was embarrassed.

I really don't want to be famous.

But he—

At this time, the system came out to fan the flames:

"Ding! Trigger a side quest and ask the host to accept Elder Sheng's invitation and inscribe a congratulatory message for the birthday star."

"Hint, accept and complete the quest, and there will be a mysterious reward in the system."

Xu Mu laughed with him, and was stared at by the guests, looking innocent.

was about to agree, but I saw the daughter of a real lady, Ye Xi came over in a slightly domineering manner.

She grabbed Xu Mu's wrist, and the sweetness like spring flowers also hit.

"Little handsome guy! In this way, since you are so difficult to invite, if you inscribe for my grandfather today, I, Ye Xiwei, promise in public, you write a word, and I will do you a favor in the future! As long as it's not illegal, I'll help. ”

Ye Xiwei's mother suddenly smiled, "Xiaofeng, the words have come to this, hurry up and ask your friend to inscribe for grandpa?" ”

Xu Mu smiled, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, but I really came to visit my good friend's grandfather in the mountains today, not to make money, but my sister's outspokenness, I appreciate it." ”

Ye Xi slightly held his shoulders, revealing his arrogant nature, and he didn't smile, "What nonsense?" Write. ”

The old man instructed the butler to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
