Chapter 34: The Birthday Banquet (Part II)

The guests present were all seated, and as soon as Concubine Xie came, she looked for her son Xiao Ying, but she looked all over here, and there was no trace of Xiao Ying, so she was faintly worried.

Xiao Daocheng sat in the main seat, glanced down, and saw the whole audience clearly, and suddenly saw that there was a guest seat empty, he immediately asked: "Why is it empty, but who hasn't come yet?" ”

Xiao Ye, who was sitting next to him, first sneered secretly, and then reported to Xiao Daocheng: "Back to my father, it's the third brother, and the third brother hasn't come yet." ”

Xiao Daocheng immediately blamed Concubine Xie Gui, and reprimanded with a straight face: "You taught a good son!" My grandmother is here, but he hasn't come yet, he's really a big row! ”

In front of dozens of guests present, being reprimanded by Xiao Daocheng like this, Concubine Xie felt embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled, "Your Majesty is angry, Guang'er has always understood the general situation, and it is definitely not intentional to be late, not to mention such a big pomp today, he must have something to delay." ”

"What is more urgent than congratulating the ancestor on his birthday, you still say that he knows the general situation, he knows the general body of a fart!" Xiao Daocheng became more and more angry, and for a while he didn't choose to speak, and said foul language, Xiao Heng reprimanded him and said, "Che'er, what are you doing here!" Today is the birthday of the mourning family, so don't be angry. ”

Before the words fell, he saw Xiao Ying running over in a hurry, holding a white jade jar in his arms, he ran to the front of the banquet, with a gust of breeze, but there was a fishy smell of mud in the wind, Xiao Yifu has always been straightforward, and complained in front of so many people: "Third brother, why do you smell of mud on your body?" ”

Xiao Ying only glanced back at her, as if she disdained to ignore her, Xie Guifei saw him coming, and scolded Xiao Daocheng first: "Guang'er! What's the matter with you, Aunt Taizu's birthday, you only came here to call so many people waiting for you! ”

"Mother don't be angry, Guang'er is preparing a birthday gift for her grandmother," Xiao Ying hurriedly explained, and then put the jar in her arms on the ground steadily, everyone was full of doubts, Xiao Daocheng still didn't give him a good face, and asked kindly: "What birthday gift have you prepared?" ”

Xiao Ying smiled at Xiao Heng and said: "Aunt Tai, Guang'er heard that you like to eat mitten crabs, so I went to Qianhu early this morning to catch a lot of them and came back to honor you, but it's a pity that I got a muddy smell all over my body, and I can't wash it off... Aunt Taizu, although Guang'er's gift is light, the affection is very heavy, and Aunt Taizu should not be disgusted. ”

"Guang'er is filial, how can Aunt Tai dislike it," Xiao Heng rarely smiled at Xiao Ying, but now this smile made Xiao Ying a little frightened, and he hurriedly replied: "It's good if Aunt Tai doesn't dislike it." ”

Xiao Daocheng stretched his neck to reach the jar on the ground, looked inside, and then ordered: "Come on, take it down and make it into a sugar crab, and bring it up quickly," After saying that, he waved his hand at Xiao Ying and motioned for him to sit, Xiao Ying walked to the dining table and sat down, Xiao Ye, who was sitting in front of the guest seat on the side, secretly glanced at him and whispered: "It turned out that I was deliberately late." ”

Princess Liu, who was sitting beside him, also secretly answered: "Isn't it?" What made a muddy smell, didn't you just want to please Aunt Taizu! ”

At that time, Concubine Xie was also full of joy, and when she was secretly happy, Luo Shuyi suddenly said: "This crab is a cold thing, and it is easy to get cold if you eat too much, ordinary people still need to be careful, not to mention that your grandmother is afraid of cold, and you often have headaches, so you should avoid it." ”

Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment, and Concubine Xie was also stunned, but Xiao Ye, with a villainous face, echoed: "It's still the concubine who has thought it through." Third brother, even if you are filial, you have to think about the body of your grandmother. ”

Concubine Xie smiled again, "It's still my sister who is thoughtful, but in comparison, Guang'er is really not thoughtful." ”

After she finished speaking, she gave Xiao Ying a look, Xiao Ying understood, hurriedly got up and walked to Xiao Heng and knelt down in front of the table, and said: "Aunt Taizu forgives the sin, Guang'er didn't know that this crab was a cold thing, if she knew, she would never give this thing to you." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Heng to speak, Xiao Daocheng scolded Xiao Ying, "You, you, you just don't think about doing things, you don't have enough success, and you have more than enough failures!" ”

"Alright, alright!" Xiao Heng saw that Xiao Daocheng was angry at every turn, and suddenly became a little annoyed, and said: "The child didn't mean to, you said this more heavily, besides, the body of the mourning family is not so weak, you one by one, you don't know what you are doing!" ”

Xiao Daocheng sneered: "Grandmother, don't be angry, the car is also in a hurry." ”

Xiao Heng glared at him with a little affection, and then smiled with Xiao Ying: "Guang'er, Taizu Gu doesn't blame you, go back and sit down." ”

"Hey, Aunt Xie," Xiao Ying returned to the table and sat down, Xiao Daocheng gave Qu Ping a look, Qu Ping only clapped his hands, and then heard the sound of music, and then a few graceful women came out to dance, Xiao Heng's face showed a smile again, she said: "Today is the birthday of the mourning family, since the banquet has invited you to eat and drink, then you are all guests of the mourning family, so you don't have to be too formal." ”

Everyone echoed in twos and threes, and Xiao Daocheng also laughed: "The old birthday star has spoken, today is a family banquet, everyone just drink happily." ”

After he finished speaking, he toasted Xiao Heng, smiled with wrinkles on his face, and said, "Grandmother, Che'er toasts you with a glass and touches your blessings." ”

"Good, good, the blessing of mourning the family."

Xiao Zhen then also raised a toast and said: "Aunt Tai, Xuanyuan is not filial, these years of exile, failed to serve by your side, today I punish myself with three cups, I wish you happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan." ”

Huan Ling then raised his glass and blessed, "Princess Taichang, Boyu also wishes you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

"Are you Huan Boyu?" Xiao Heng saw Huan Ling, his eyes were full of surprise, and Huan Ling smiled: "Yes, Aunt Xiao, I am Boyu." ”

"It's really you, I remember when your father Su Zhi was young, the mourning family held him in his arms all day long, I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, his sons have grown so big, Boyu, how old are you?"

Huan Ling was asked about his age, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he smiled reluctantly, and replied: "Boyu... Now it's the year of its establishment. ”

Xiao Heng suddenly sighed when he heard this, and sighed: "It's really like an arrow!" ”

Xie Zheng sat beside Huan Ling, didn't listen to what they said at all, just stared at Xiao Heng and looked at her attentively, Xiao Heng didn't recognize her appearance, she was both happy and lost, and wanted to be like them, toast to today's old birthday star, and say to her, "Grandma, Ah Jiang also wishes you a long life and good health......

The atmosphere at the birthday banquet was active and harmonious, and suddenly there was an uninvited guest, Taiwei Chen Xianda hurriedly came, specially bypassed the banquet, walked over from one side, went straight to Xiao Daocheng, and whispered to him, he came, and suddenly made some of the heartstrings on the table tense, Xie Zheng and Huan Ling looked at each other, although they were a little uneasy but not surprised, Xiao Heng and Qu Ping, who was standing on Xiao Daocheng's side, glanced at each other, and then looked at Xiao Zhen, and then looked at Xiao Zhen, and also secretly gave Yin a little wink, but Xiao Ye was secretly happy, and Xiao Yifu looked at each other and smiled.

These people seem to be planning something, Chen Xianda has retreated, and the birthday banquet is still singing and dancing, laughing and laughing, as if nothing has happened, but no one noticed, Yin Xiao left quietly.
