"What is this?"

The old lady had a puzzled look on her face, which was also expected by everyone.

"Grandmother take a good look again?" Shi Qingqian grinned and looked at his grandmother's narrowed eyes.

The old lady stared at Shi An left and right, only to feel that the shape of her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be displayed, and her eyes widened for a while, "This, this is not the second brother, right?" ”

Shi An smiled and came up, "I just said that my grandmother is not old at all, I didn't even recognize my aunt when I came back this time, but my grandmother recognized it at a glance." ”

After learning that the other party was the second brother, the old lady was surprised and delighted. When he was a child, Shi An was too dull, not like a child of the Hou family, who thought that Shi An was a latecomer, but now he has not only grown taller and grown up, but also speaks a lot more eloquently.

This is like the child of the historian.

The old lady shook Shi An's hand in surprise, "What kind of place did this second brother go, he is so supportive, you see how old this child has grown, compared to the little stuffy gourd when he was a child, it is really different at all!" ”

"Where is the place to raise people?" Shi An smiled, "If there is no bloodline passed on to my father by my grandmother and passed on to me by my father, wouldn't I still be a stuffy gourd wherever I go?" ”

Shi Qingqian thought to himself, this second brother is really skillful, fortunately he is also very attentive to himself, and he will not have any bad intentions towards himself, otherwise he is afraid that he will be indulged in candied fruit by him, where can he still have the intention of fighting with this second brother?

But it is true that it is not easy for the whole family of this Hou Mansion to get together. Because of this, more than an hour has passed just for the family to sit in the hall and talk.

At this time, the maid in the grandmother's house suddenly walked in and reported: "Old lady...... The people in the palace and the palace came. ”

"In the palace?" Shi Qingqian wondered, this grandmother's birthday was obviously a family banquet, even if it was sent by other mansions to send congratulatory gifts or come to participate, it would not alarm the people in the palace.

I don't know why, Shi Qingqian has a hunch, she always thinks that it will be ...... when she walks in later.

"Shen, Shen Shu?"

Sure enough, the little guy who walked in with the guide turned out to be Shen Shu and Shen Mi, followed by a Changwu who was holding two brocade boxes of different sizes in his hands.

The three of them walked in, and they didn't have time to pay attention to Shi Qingqian and Shi Ke and the others who were shocked, but stepped forward to give a simple salute first, "Old lady Shi, we are here to congratulate you on your birthday on the order of the emperor." ”

Compared with the surprise of Shi Qingqian and these children, the old lady seemed to be light, as if she had expected it a long time ago.

"Hurry up and sit down, the emperor is really good, just find a palace person to bring a message at random, and bother His Royal Highness the Fifth and the little prince to take a special trip."

"We are here ourselves, Mrs. Shi Jiren Tianxiang, we also want to ask for Buddha's spirit," Shen Mi said with a smile, "The old lady won't welcome us, right?" ”

Shi Ke looked disgusted on the side, not that Shen Mi and Shen Shu were not welcome to come, but that Shen Mi had never told him that he was coming, but that he came suddenly.

"How come, hahahaha," the old lady smiled, hurriedly asked someone to prepare two chairs, and invited them to sit on the upper seat, "Since you are here, you will introduce yourself to the Fifth Highness and the little prince." ”

Naturally, she said this to Shi Nian and Shi Ke, who had just come back, although the old lady worshiped the Buddha behind closed doors all year round, but she also knew a thing or two about what was happening outside. Naturally, they also knew that Shi Qingqian and Shi Ke were close to them.

After the introduction, Shi Qingqian still had questions in his heart, "Grandmother, your birthday...... Why is the emperor so concerned? ”

"Huh? I don't know about this past? Shen Mi wondered, they all knew about this matter, and Shi Qingqian had never heard of it.

Looking at the doubts on Shi Qingqi's face, Shen Mi suddenly felt a little bullish, so he opened his mouth to explain: "That's the case, in the early years, when my father paid a private visit, I encountered a riot of the victims, and the situation can be described as a very crisis, but fortunately, I met Mrs. Shi who went out to seek Buddha, and the old lady was warm and warm-hearted, and saved my father's life, so every year on the old lady's birthday, my father remembers." ”

"It's all about Chen Sesame and rotten beans, what else is there to say." The old lady waved her hand, obviously not planning to ask for anything for herself or the Hou Mansion by virtue of this relationship, but it was precisely because she refused to ask for anything that made the emperor remember it for so many years.

"I see," Shi Qingqian nodded suddenly in realization, she didn't even know that there was such a past.

Shi Yuan's generation knew about this matter, but the next generation heard of it for the first time. Mainly because the old lady was unwilling to let the children of the Hou Mansion feel that they could be blessed by the emperor, so she was reluctant to talk to them.

Shi An also heard it for the first time, and said with a smile: "I'll just say who is such a chivalrous and courageous character like Sister Er, it turns out to be a grandmother." ”

After talking and laughing for a long time, this birthday banquet is finally on the right track.

"Grandmother, this is a birthday gift made by Ning'er for you." Shi Shuning first took out the thing she brought, which was a long, bean green, bronzing brocade box, and she respectfully handed it to the old lady, her eyes full of anticipation.

The old lady was also curious to open it, and found that it contained a scroll, and when she opened the scroll again, she found that it was a Buddhist scripture embroidered with gold thread, which had been framed.

This Buddhist scripture is long and complicated, even the professional embroiderers in the show may not be able to embroider so exquisitely, and the effort spent on this gift by the history book is already self-evident.

"I have long known that Sister Ning'er's embroidery is the best in the world, but it also took a lot of effort to embroider this Buddhist scripture, right?" The old lady liked it so much that she couldn't bear to leave it, and couldn't help but stretch out her fingers to rub it on it.

Shi Shuning smiled slightly, his face was like a warm spring breeze, "As long as grandmother likes it, Ning'er didn't have much effort." ”

After reading Shi Shuning's gifts, Shi Qingqian guessed that today's visitors were all carefully prepared, fortunately, he didn't cheat, and he put a little effort into the gift, otherwise he would have been laughed at to death if he took out his hand.

After Shi Shuning returned to his seat, Shi Zhenxiang cautiously walked up with the things she had prepared.

As soon as Shen Shu saw her, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, as if two cold rays of light shot out, but Shi Zhenxiang happened to catch a glimpse, and suddenly a spirit was excited, and his head was buried deeper.

"Grandmother...... This is a gift from Xiang'er for you......"

Shi Zhenxiang had a folded scroll in her hand, which looked ordinary at first glance, but the old lady still looked through it with a smile.

Who would have thought that there would be something else in this book.

"This ...... This is? ”
