Chapter 38: The Birthday Banquet (Part II)

Su Shi waved his handkerchief, came up to help Sun sit down, and greeted everyone: "Today is a good day, and it is a double happiness, I offer Mrs. Zhang a new dress made by Yunjin cut out of our cloth village textile lady, and I wish the old birthday star a smile and a happy life." ”

The words made Sun laugh again and again, and he couldn't stop saying yes.

Then everyone also offered their congratulatory gifts, saying auspicious words, most of them were porcelain, gold, jade, and the old woman also accepted it with a smile.

Fan Meihua thought that she had just lost her favor in front of Mrs. Zhang, and at this moment she could first dismiss her reasonable favor.

So with a confident face, she sent the maid to present a lacquered gold wooden box, and her congratulatory gift was absolutely unmatched!

"Plum blossom wishes Mrs. Zhang good luck, wealth and health! Knowing that Mrs. Zhang likes pine and cypress, Meihua specially asked skilled craftsmen to carve this jade pine ornament day after day, and asked Mrs. Zhang to smile. Fan Meihua raised her chin and motioned for the little maid to open the wooden box.

A trace of brilliance flowed by, and everyone's eyes were a little unable to open their fingertips, only to see that under the sun, a jade pine was natural.

The upper part of the jade pine is emerald green, and the lower part is dark brown, but it is not made of the acquired splicing, and even the flower pots where the jade pine is placed are made of pure gold, which is really rich.

"Eh, look, this jade is really rare, such a piece of jade has two colors."

"This is called rare, it is new and valuable, it really takes a lot of effort!"

Listening to the whispers of everyone, Fan Meihua's vanity was greatly satisfied. Her eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhang Ze, who was standing beside Sun, and she squeezed her eyebrows and sent Qiu Bo in his direction.

Zhang Ze only felt that his back was cold, and the hairs on his body were about to stand up, and he turned his head slightly.

However, Sun was not very surprised to see this jade pine, but nodded lightly: "You have a heart, take it." ”

Fan Meihua was a little depressed, but quickly became energetic again. Although Sun didn't eat her, she believed that her gift was definitely the best today, and Brother Ze would definitely feel her intentions and would be impressed by her.

Thinking of this, Fan Meihua looked at Ling Xiu'er provocatively, she wanted to see what kind of gifts Ling Xiu'er, a poor country girl, could give, could it be that she didn't know where to pick wild flowers?

If you change a trick to coax Mrs. Zhang, you can only use it once.

Ling Xiu'er didn't look at Fan Meihua, she took out a roll of white cloth prepared in the morning with both hands, Yingying walked up to Mrs. Zhang, knelt down and offered a gift: "Daughter wishes her mother a prosperous sun and moon, and a long spring of pine cranes. ”

Fan Meihua rolled her eyes disdainfully: "This little family person, the gift he gives is also a little family!" There's no shame in taking it out! ”

Sun took the white cloth and unfolded it little by little, it was her favorite Buddhist scripture!

Fan Meihua sneered, what did she think it was, it turned out to be just a Buddhist scripture.

Sun is a perennial person who worships the Buddha, and everyone knows about this. There are also people who send the Jade Buddha and the Golden Buddha in the front, but this person who believes in Buddhism is the most jealous of extravagance, regarded as materialistic desires, and is the greed and hatred of mortals. This simple Buddhist scripture is exactly what she wants.

"Very good, very good!" Sun slowly unfolded the white cloth, looked closely, and found that every word on it was embroidered with stitches and threads, and he was even more amazed: "You embroiderer is really good!" Come on, bring this sutra to the statue. ”

Everyone could see that Mrs. Zhang couldn't put down this Buddhist scripture, and she also said flattering words.

"This beautiful girl's mind is really ingenious, far more expensive than gold and silver and other mundane things! It's a lot better than our congratulatory gifts! ”

"yes, yes. The most important thing is to give gifts to your liking. Miss Xiu'er's gift is the best that suits Mrs. Zhang's heart! ”

Fan Meihua almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, and every word reminded Fan Meihua that she was the most vulgar person among them.

And the carefully selected gifts are said to be mundane! It's not as good as Ling Xiu'er's Buddhist scriptures? Fan Meihua really felt that there was something wrong with Sun's vision! This Ling Xiu'er's Buddhist scriptures are obviously not as expensive as the gift she gave!

There is also Ling Xiu'er, a slut, who is clearly a married man. She also wants to call her brother Ze here and seduce him! What a shit! No shame!

However, everyone patronized Qualing Xiu'er, and they didn't care about her anger at all, and Fan Meihua could only be secretly annoyed.

"All the ladies and ladies are here!" An uninvited guest came to the door.

Li walked in in in a hurry: "I am Cao Yu and Cao Gongsheng's sister-in-law, and I came here to celebrate Mrs. Zhang's birthday." I wish Mrs. Zhang good health and all the best. ”

It's just that she just finished wishing Mrs. Zhang her birthday, so she grabbed Ling Xiu'er, who was standing next to the old woman.

"Xiu'er, you've been bothering Zhangfu for many days, and when the banquet is over, go back with me." In the past, everything was my sister-in-law's fault, so please forgive me a lot. ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her, Li wiped her non-existent tears with a handkerchief: "No matter how bad I was in the past, now I should be evened out." Isn't our Li family miserable enough? The house has been burned down, and my brother has been put in prison, are you still not satisfied? I know, now that you are leaning on the big tree of Zhangfu to enjoy the shade, no matter what, I am also your sister-in-law, can't you let me live? ”

"Huh? This little girl looks very heart-wrenching, her heart is so ruthless! ”

There was already a lady who didn't know the situation and started to discuss: "No matter how you are a relative, how can you be so ruthless?" ”

The Sun family knew that Xiu'er had been abused by the Li family at home, but everyone knew that she was Xiu'er's godmother, even if they helped her speak, they would only feel that they were shielding her, but it would make everyone really think that Zhang Ze was using his relationship to suppress the Li family.

Lin Xiu'er also knew that this matter had caused a lot of trouble to Zhang's house, and it was a good day like Mrs. Zhang's birthday, so she said to the old woman apologetically: "Mother, this is my own business." If you can't hold your birthday party, it's all my fault. ”

Sun looked at her lovingly: "The family doesn't have to say this. He turned his head and coldly warned Li: "If you talk nonsense here again, I will report to the official and arrest you!" ”

The Li family didn't dare to make trouble, and was silenced and taken to the backyard by Ling Xiu'er.

"Tell me, what the hell are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do, didn't I just say it, I'm here to ask you back." Li smiled proudly: "These big families are most afraid of losing face, I just made such a fuss that Mrs. Zhang couldn't get off the stage." If you don't want me to continue to make trouble, follow me back to Cao's house. Otherwise, I'll make trouble that you can't stay in Zhang's mansion! ”
