Chapter 37: The Birthday Banquet (Part II)

I saw Fan Meihua wearing the most fashionable skirt nowadays, but when she wore it on her body, she looked like a pheasant with phoenix feathers, and she became a four-like.

There was a row of golden hairpins on his head, which only shook people to the point that they felt like they were going blind. The big gold chain around his neck and the big gold bracelet on his hand echoed each other from afar, as if they were afraid that people would not know that their family was a nouveau riche.

Fan Meihua twisted her handkerchief and said coquettishly: "I hate it, Brother Ze, can't you even recognize who I am?" ”

She had a thick layer of fat powder on her face, as if she could see the powder fall off as soon as she spoke. But she didn't think so in her heart, she just thought beautifully, today she was dressed up, and Brother Ze was obviously stunned.

Zhang Zeqiang endured the nausea in his heart and the physiological urge to vomit, so that he could talk to her as usual: "It turned out to be Miss Fan, please come in quickly." ”

Fan Meihua shyly walked into the door with small steps, turning back three times, and threw a few winks at him, causing Zhang Ze to almost lose his breath.

Fan Meihua was accompanied by his brother Fan Si, who gave the congratulatory gift while looking at the long gift list with greedy eyes.

The people he made friends with were all characters with heads and faces, and he had a lot of oil and water to rub when he wanted to come.

"Hey, Brother Cao, your relationship with this champion must be very good, it shouldn't be difficult for you to recommend me and let me be his entourage, right?" Fan Si showed his arms: "Look, my tendon meat is real." If I can get into the oil and water that my husband fishes, I won't forget your recommendation. ”

"Brother Fan misunderstood, I just got Brother Zhang's suggestion, and I just have a little friendship. It's not convenient today, I'll mention it in front of him another day when I have a chance. But whether I can move him, I'm not completely sure. Cao Yu's expression was cold, neither humble nor arrogant, and Fan Si couldn't continue to entangle, so he walked away in a daze.

As soon as Fan Meihua entered the house, she was proud like a peacock, lest everyone not see her rich appearance wearing gold and silver. Nazhi waited for a long time, but no one came to praise and flatter her. Only then did I find out that a group of women in the house were surrounding that nasty Ling Xiu'er!

Fan Meihua lost face, and she was very unhappy, and she heard the two ladies next to her talking.

"Eh, look, this girl is smart and capable, is she the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Zhang?"

"Where's the harm! Zhang Zhuangyuan hasn't married yet, and Mrs. Zhang asked me to help her look at her a while ago. ”

"Then it must be the lady of the house?"

Fan Meihua sneered again and again when she heard this, and took a few steps forward and screamed strangely: "Yo, I don't know who it is, it turns out to be you, a wild girl from the countryside!" ”

Everyone was quiet, their eyes were focused on Fan Meihua, and several long-tongued women had begun to whisper.

Fan Meihua smiled even more proudly, they must have been discussing her identity, she raised her head and walked to Ling Xiu'er's side, "You are also worthy of being Mrs. Zhang's daughter?" It's just a nasty troublesome spirit who stays in someone else's house, why make a gesture of a master? You really think of yourself as someone from Zhang's mansion. Mrs. Zhang is kind-hearted, but I can't stand it. How can there be a shameless woman like you who still doesn't leave? ”

Fan Meihua said extremely harshly, and several ladies were stunned, but Ling Xiu'er was not as ashamed and indignant as she expected, but said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Although I am not the old lady's biological daughter, I really love her as a mother, the old lady is kind to me, please don't spoil her birthday banquet today." ”

"You want to make the old lady a mother, but the old lady may not want to recognize you as a daughter!" Fan Meihua sneered: "You are also worthy!" You want to go crazy if you want to recognize the relationship, and you don't look at what kind of virtue you are, a wild girl in the countryside, an idiot dreaming! ”

When she walked into the room with her words on her back, Mrs. Zhang heard it clearly, and her face suddenly became gloomy.

"Old... Old lady? "Fan Meihua, you are a little flustered when you see the old woman, and the image of the gentle and gentle lady she pretended before has collapsed.

Old Madam Zhang didn't answer her words, and said coldly: "Today is the birthday of the old man, just to celebrate, people like you are not welcome to come." ”

Fan Meihua was so panicked that she didn't dare to speak, offended the old lady, Brother Ze would definitely hate her.

"Old lady, don't be in a bad mood, today you are a birthday star, you should be the most beautiful, more beautiful than flowers." Ling Xiu'er was afraid that Old Madam Zhang would be disappointed for such a person, it was really not worth it. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's eyes were not on her, she secretly covered her lips with an embroidered handkerchief and bit her fingers, and dipped it in blood with an embroidered handkerchief.

"It's sweet in your mouth." Old Madam Zhang smiled helplessly: "I'm all old, where are the flowers beautiful." ”

Ling Xiu'er put the embroidered handkerchief into the cuff in front of everyone, estimated that the time was up, and suddenly took out a handful of magnolia flowers from the cuff and presented it to the old lady: "I look, you are just better than the flowers, don't you say?" ”

Everyone chimed in: "Yes! The flowers are good-looking, and the lady is even better-looking! ”

"The girl is so amazing, this trick has become so exciting!"

"yes, yes! It's also the first time I've seen such a powerful trick! ”

Old Madam Zhang smiled with a look of surprise: "How did this come about!" She accepted the flowers with a smile, and was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, pulling Ling Xiu'er and not letting go.

Su Shi is a shrewd person, and when she saw that Mrs. Zhang liked Ling Xiu'er so much, she made a fuss: "Old lady, look at how intimate and filial this girl is, why don't you take advantage of the good days to add this daughter today?" Isn't it double happiness? ”

Mrs. Zhang also had this intention, and immediately put the jade bracelet on her hand, which was extremely smooth and crispy, and was worth a lot of money at a glance, on Xiu'er's wrist, and smiled: "Are you willing to call me a godmother?" ”

Ling Xiu'er was also overjoyed, immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted sincerely: "Godmother!" I've long regarded you as my own mother in my heart. ”

Old Madam Zhang helped Ling Xiu'er stand up with both hands, and tears were faintly shining in her eyes with excitement: "Good boy, good boy, get up quickly." ”

Everyone came up and said congratulations: "Congratulations to the old lady! ”

Zhang Ze walked to the door, and Ling Xiu'er smiled at her: "Brother-in-law." ”

Zhang Ze's heart was mixed, he didn't want to respond to this righteous brother, he didn't want to be just her brother, but he had to admit it in front of everyone.
