Chapter 36: The Birthday Banquet (I)

"Brother and sister, I'm waiting for you, you see my steamed buns are hot."

The Li family had been planted with Ling Xiu'er everywhere before, but this time he changed his method, wanted to play the family card, and even waited for Ling Xiu'er at the door for two hours, it seems that he is determined to reconcile.

Ling Xiu'er understands that she has nothing to do, and she is either a traitor or a thief. She deliberately stood three steps away from the Li family, and said politely: "No need, there is no shortage of food and drink in Zhang's mansion, sister-in-law, you can eat by yourself." ”

"Oh, I know that the Champion Mansion must be indispensable to eat, isn't this a little bit of my sister-in-law's heart, when will my brother and sister go home, my sister-in-law will clean your room." Lee continued to curry favor.

"No need, you can go back quickly."

Ling Xiu'er didn't enter the oil and salt, and walked into the house without looking back.

Seeing that Ling Xiu'er was soft and hard, Li secretly took a bite of her, she didn't want to do this, but since Ling Xiu'er had this attitude, then don't blame her for making Ling Xiu'er ugly at Mrs. Zhang's birthday banquet!

It didn't take long for Sun's birthday to arrive. The champion's mother's birthday was not small, and with Zhang Ze's careful management, this birthday banquet was even more grand. Many people with heads and faces came to congratulate him on his birthday, including those who wanted to please Zhang Ze, greeting each other, you came and went, and this birthday banquet became more and more lively.

Cao Yu and Ling Xiu'er got up early in the morning to help because they lived in the Zhuangyuan Mansion. Cao Yu helped receive congratulatory gifts at the gate, while Ling Xiu'er followed Sun in the main hall to help entertain the guests.

On weekdays, Ling Xiuer rarely dresses herself up, after all, she embroiders and does housework at home, so there is no need. And today is Sun's birthday banquet, and on a big occasion, you have to clean up yourself. The Sun family naturally thought of it, and sent a maid to dress up Ling Xiu'er early in the morning.

As the saying goes: people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold. Such a toss made Ling Xiu'er's originally delicate and lovely appearance more and more beautiful and beautiful, which made the Sun family's eyes shine.

"Xiu'er, I don't see you dressed up on weekdays, but today you are really good-looking, you are a beautiful embryo, if you want me to say, it is not inferior to the Nine Heavens Fairy."

Sun Shi wore a dignified jujube red Fushou dark pattern jacket today, and a royal blue eight-treasure makeup horse face skirt, looking at Ling Xiu'er, who was particularly delicate today, said with a smile.

"Mrs. Zhang, don't make fun of me, I can afford it." Ling Xiu'er had never heard anyone praise herself like this, let alone in front of a group of guests, her face was flushed, like a delicious apple.

"Afford it, I've always wanted to have a daughter, but I haven't been able to do it, Xiu'er, can I be my daughter today? It should be to fulfill the wish of me, an old woman and a child. ”

The guests present were very surprised, what was the identity of this woman in front of them, and they were surprised and extremely envious at the same time. was recognized by the Sun family as a daughter, even if it was only for one day, it could be regarded as taking the road of the Zhuangyuan Mansion, and it would be more beneficial in the future.

Ling Xiu'er was flattered when she heard this, Mrs. Zhang treated herself so kindly, she didn't know how she could afford it, and she always wanted to refuse, but Sun said that it was her wish, and today was Mrs. Zhang's birthday, so it was not good to refuse. Looking at Sun's earnest and sincere eyes, Ling Xiu'er settled down and thought to herself: Anyway, there is only one day, and it should be to fulfill Mrs. Zhang's wishes. Ling Xiu'er responded cheekily.

"Good girl, good girl." Sun took Ling Xiu'er's hand, very satisfied.

The main gate is not far from the main hall, and the movement of the main hall can naturally be heard on the side of the gate. Cao Yu was also clear about the situation in the house, and when he heard that Sun recognized Ling Xiu'er as a daughter, he looked at Ling Xiu'er. At the same time, Ling Xiu'er also looked at Cao Yu, the two looked at each other, Cao Yu raised a smile of encouragement, Ling Xiu'er also settled down when she received it, anyway, there was Cao Yu in both horizontal and vertical areas, and this is not a bad thing.

There were waves of people who came to congratulate him on his birthday, and Cao Yu was also socializing at the door.

"Bai Chimo came to congratulate him on his birthday." Bai Chimo asked the attendants accompanying him to present the congratulatory gift, "Why are you Cao Yu?" ”

Bai Chimo is Cao Yu's former classmate, and Bai Chimo donated a petty official to him in Linxian County by relying on his family. Bai Chimo saw Cao Yu receiving guests at the gate of the Zhuangyuan Mansion, obviously he had a good relationship with Zhang Ze, after all, no one would let an unfamiliar person receive a congratulatory gift. Bai Chimo's jealousy arose, and he secretly sneered in his heart: Why did this Cao Yu actually get Zhang Zhuangyuan's favor, he must have given Zhang Ze a lot of benefits in private, maybe there are still many unsightly deeds, but I didn't expect Cao Yu, who looks high, to bow to Zhuangyuan.

"Isn't this Cao Yu, who loves to ignore others and disdains the high-ranking Cao Yu who is in the gang with others? Why do I see you here today? Bai Chimo looked at Cao Yu, Cao Yu's posture was obviously helping to receive congratulatory gifts, which shows how good his relationship with Zhang Ze is, "Yo, I also helped Zhang Zhuangyuan put away the congratulatory gifts today, it turns out that Cao Yu, who has always been invincible, will also help people do things, be someone else's pug." What's the matter, do you want to tie up the champion and ask him to help you understand some tricks in the scientific examination? I still want to pave the way for my future. ”

After speaking, Bai Chimo laughed alone. There were many people around who were dissatisfied with Cao Yu's treatment, and when they saw Bai Chimo attacking Cao Yu, they were very happy to see it, so no one helped him out of the siege, everyone looked like a good show, waiting to see Cao Yu make a fool of himself.

"Bai Chimo, five hundred taels of congratulations, register it." Cao Yu ignored Bai Chimo, but turned sideways and said to the little guy who registered the congratulatory gift on the side.

As soon as he heard Cao Yu say that the gift money was five hundred taels, Bai Chimo almost couldn't hold back: "What? Five... Five hundred taels? It's clearly ..."

Bai Chimo looked at Cao Yu's malicious smile, obviously he did it on purpose, and his voice couldn't help but lower. Just kidding, if he told the fact that he only planned to give fifty taels today, then he would be the one who would be ashamed. But, but that's five hundred taels, ten times more, and it seems that I can only bleed heavily today. The expression on Bai Chimo's face was a little ugly, but thinking that this was still at the door of the Champion Mansion, everyone watched, so he forced himself to maintain a decent expression.

"Yes, it's five hundred taels, that's right." Bai Chimo had no choice but to take out a few more silver tickets and handed them over.

Taking the silver ticket that Bai Chimo handed over again, Cao Yu laughed a few times. It didn't sound like much to others, but it was full of sarcasm in Bai Chimo's ears.

In the face of Cao Yu's counterattack, Bai Chimo had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow blood. Like Cao Yu snorted coldly, he walked into the Zhuangyuan Mansion. The people who were originally stranded here and wanted to watch a good show have slowly dispersed.

I don't know when, Zhang Ze stood not far from Cao Yu and saw all this in his eyes. Cao Yu's improvisation and ability to deal with things are indeed excellent, and he also appreciates them very much, but it's a pity, it's a pity, his grades still have to be replaced, and he can't get ahead after all. Thinking like this, Zhang Ze's eyes when he looked at Cao Yu became extremely complicated.

After Cao Yu solved Bai Chimo's person, he keenly felt Zhang Ze's gaze, and Zhang Ze also returned to his normal expression the moment Cao Yu saw it.

Now that he was seen, Zhang Ze also took the opportunity to walk in the direction of Cao Yu.

"Cao Yu, how's it going? Is it going well to receive a congratulatory gift here? ”

"Brother Ze~" Before Cao Yu could answer, everyone heard an extremely sweet call. Looking back, everyone's faces were full of horror.
