On the shore of the famous Yushan Lake in the capital city of ZK, there is an antique manor house in C state, covering an area of hundreds of acres.

This is also the only manor on the shore of Yushan Lake.

Exclusive view of Yushan Lake.

It can be seen that the owner of the manor has great energy.

This manor is the well-known property of the Ji family in southeastern Kyushu, and it is also the location of the Ji family clan.

At this time, the parking lot at the entrance of the manor was already full of all kinds of luxury cars.

Because, today is the day when the old man of the Ji family, Ji Rusong, held a birthday banquet on his 90th birthday, and all the direct and collateral relatives of the Ji family rushed back to celebrate the birthday of the old man Ji.

There are also many friends who also come here to celebrate their birthdays.

At this moment, in the Ji manor, hundreds of banquets have been placed, but the banquet seats are not filled with guests.

Because, at this time, everyone gathered in the lobby of the manor to pay homage to the old birthday star and offer congratulatory gifts.

The lobby is divided into an inner hall and an outer hall.

In the inner hall, under the word "Shou", which is full of auspicious and festive meaning, there is a Taishi chair, but it is empty.

This chair is the seat of the old birthday star.

In the open space in front of the Taishi chair in the inner hall, there were men and women of some ages, and a small number of young men and women of young appearance.

The older ones are the second generation of Ji Lao's children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, etc., and the younger ones are the third generation leaders of the Ji family.

These young people have achieved good results in their respective industries, and they belong to the future pillars of the family.

Because Ji Lao was nearly forty years old, he began to inherit the incense and have children.

Therefore, although Ji Lao is now 90 years old, the age of his children is still at the age of 50.

Zhang Xin's parents also stood in the inner hall, but they were standing in the far corner of the inner hall.

From their position, it can be seen that the two are not very popular in the Ji family.

The other people in the inner hall gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing, and communicating with each other, the most striking was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a majestic instrument, and a bald middle-aged man, many of whom surrounded them like stars and moons.

The man with golden wire glasses is Ji Rushuang's eldest brother, and Ji Tianhang, the son of Ji's family, has a very high status in the family and is one of the future Ji family's head of the family.

Another bald middle-aged man is Ji Rushuang's second brother Ji Tiansheng, whose status is on par with Ji Tianhang, and he is also a strong candidate for the head of the family.

Because, both brothers have the heart to peep at the position of the head of the family, so the relationship between the two is not very good.

However, their attitude towards Ji Rushuang and Zhang Yurong is surprisingly consistent, that is, they look down on the two and feel that their sister's marriage to Zhang Yurong is a defilement of the Ji family.

In the entire Ji family, more than 90% of the people treat Ji Rushuang and Zhang Yurong like the two pillars.

Even if the remaining small number of people sympathize with Ji Rushuang, they don't dare to have too much contact with them, for fear that they will be poked in the backbone by other clansmen.

At this moment, Zhang Yurong, who was standing in the corner, did not look very good-looking, but Ji Rushuang looked quite indifferent.

For some reason, Zhang Yurong thought of Xu Kang from the Jiuding family, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: If Xin Yatou can combine with Xu Kang, then when I come to this Ji family today, I will not be left out in the cold, and many of them will lick their faces to slap me!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yurong regretted that his daughter failed to catch Xu Kang, the golden beetle son-in-law.

Compared with Xu Kang, one is a dragon and the other is a worm, of course, the worm is Chen Xian.

Zhang Yurong thinks so in his heart.

Zhang Xin and Chen Xian, who were in the outer hall, clearly saw the embarrassing situation of Zhang Yurong and Ji Rushuang in the inner hall.

However, Zhang Xin and Chen Xian were also snubbed by the other clansmen in the outer hall, and no one wanted to talk to them.

Even so, Zhang Xin and Chen Xian did not show the slightest discoloration on their faces, and they still maintained a light and breezy look.

That's self-confidence.

Only with strength can we have self-confidence, and we will not be shocked by honor and disgrace!

There is another person who was also left out in the cold, and that is Zhang Xin's brother Zhang Ziqiang.

This time, it was the second time he came to his grandfather's house, and the first time was when his grandmother was critically ill.

Zhang Ziqiang originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of his grandfather's 90th birthday to get close to those promising cousins and cousins to see if he could find business opportunities.

However, Zhang Ziqiang has been at Ji's house for several days, even if he takes the initiative to attack, no one pays attention to him at all, he just sticks a hot face to other people's cold ass.

If you want to say how embarrassing, you can say how embarrassing.

At this moment, Zhang Ziqiang watched his cousins and cousins talking in twos and threes, full of envy and grievances.

Zhang Ziqiang's mind was like his father, thinking of Xu Kang......

The way he looked at Chen Xian's eyes, it became bad.

If it weren't for Chen Xian, Zhang Ziqiang felt that his sister would probably have flown with Xu Kang.

In that way, when he Zhang Ziqiang came to Ji's house today, he would be received with great grandeur, which was diametrically opposed to the current embarrassment.

Chen Xian sensed a different meaning in Zhang Ziqiang's gaze, but he ignored this future brother-in-law.

"The auspicious time has arrived, please Ji Lao!"

At this moment, the solemn and high-pitched voice of the master of ceremonies resounded inside and outside the lobby.

Chen Xian has a sense of immediacy of the ancient eunuch and Emperor Gao Xuan's previous dynasty.

Suddenly, everyone inside and outside the lobby stopped making noise, and everyone naturally stood in line and looked at the inner hall with their eyes.

I saw a white-haired old man wearing a red top silk Tang costume walking out of the back of the inner hall, walking steadily, and came to sit down in front of the Taishi chair.

This person is the head of the Ji family, the old birthday star Ji Lao.

Although Ji Lao is already ninety years old, he is in good spirits, and there are not many wrinkles on his face, if you don't know his age, you still think that Ji Lao is only in his 60s.

After Ji Lao sat down, he waved his hand to everyone, and said in a thick, slightly old, and vicissitudes of life: "The big guy has worked hard, and he came from all over the world to celebrate the birthday of this bad old man." ”

"Grandpa, we don't work hard, it's you who work hard, we can give you a birthday celebration, it's too late to be happy. ”

"Yes, wishing you a birthday to Dad, is a blessing for us as children. ”

"It's a great honor for us to be able to come to celebrate Ji Lao's birthday!"

“......”

Whether it was the descendants of the Ji family or the guests who came to congratulate them, they all smiled and said.

When Ji Lao heard this, he was full of joy and said, "Okay, okay, everyone has a heart." ”

Ji Lao's words fell, and the master of ceremonies immediately whispered to him: "Ji Lao, the time is almost up, and you can move on to the next step." ”

The old man heard this and nodded.

Seeing this, the master of ceremonies once again made a solemn and high-pitched voice: "Let's enter the birthday worship link, first of all, I invite Ji Tianhang, the son of Ji's family, to pay a birthday greeting." ”

Ji Tianhang, who was wearing gold-wire glasses, immediately held an antique and exquisite golden silk nanmu box, walked in front of Ji Lao, and bowed down respectfully.
