"Grandpa Chai, the family teacher has already gone to Yunyou three months ago, and before leaving, he ordered Xiaodao to come today to prepare for the gift, maybe the family teacher will not come back this year, why don't we go in, or don't wait any longer."

Mao Xiaodao immediately handed over the prepared birthday gift to the old housekeeper Chai.

"Huh! It's rare that Mr. mud remembered the birthday of our master three months ago, and made arrangements early, since there are old man's apprentices and friends to come, then I will follow you to meet the master, Mr. mud is uncertain, but it is not within the reach of ordinary people such as me! Hahaha! ”

Old Butler Chai Lang smiled and respectfully invited us in.

Walking into the courtyard of the Liu family, I saw that the house was full of friends, lively and extraordinary, and in the main house, there were a few tables of banquets, both inside and outside, they were overcrowded, near the stone steps, the old housekeeper Chai paused, stretched out his hand to the side and beckoned: "Dog left, come here!" ”

"Uncle Chai, is there anything you want me to do?"

A tall, thin, and somewhat hunched young man, dressed in fairly neat coarse cloth clothes, hurried in front of the old butler Chai.

"This birthday gift is sent by the old man of the mud, you send this thing directly to the master's room, the old man attaches great importance to the old man mud this friend, has asked to worship the old man mud three times can not get his wish, so for the gift sent by the old man mud, the old man is regarded as a baby, hehe!"

The old housekeeper Chai carefully handed the birthday gift to Gou Yu, who nodded heavily and took it with both hands.

"Okay! Uncle Chai, I'll go now. ”

Gou Yu said happily, turned and walked towards the courtyard gate to the east.

"Well, put it in a conspicuous place, you can see it as soon as the master enters the door, hehe!"

As he spoke, the old housekeeper couldn't help but turn around and smile at us, and then said, "Since Mr. Ni didn't come, I thought of a way to make the old man happy!" ”

"Huh! Steward Chai is really well-intentioned! ”

I smiled and shook my head.

"Hahaha...... Laugh and smile, Mr. Chen, Xiaodao, please come into the house and take a seat! ”

The old butler Chai laughed, and then shouted loudly to the inner hall: "Mr. Mu Mao Xiaodao and his friend Mr. Chen have come to celebrate the birthday of the old man!" ”

"Ahh Mr. Mud?! ”

In the room, it was quiet all of a sudden, and there was an excited old voice, and after a while, an old man in a brocade robe ran out in small steps, and everyone present stood up in unison, looking at the old man in shock, presumably this old man is the old birthday star Liu Wanhao Liu in the Liu family compound!

Perhaps the relatives and friends here can't believe who can make the old birthday star Master Liu personally run to the door to greet him, and the guest who can withstand the importance of Master Liu must be the most distinguished guest......

"The younger generation Mao Xiaodao, on the orders of the family teacher, came to celebrate the birthday of Master Liu, and wished Master Liu a blessed star, health and longevity!"

Mao Xiaodao immediately respectfully clenched his fists.

"It turns out that you are my old friend Mr. Ni's high-ranking apprentice! Hahaha......"

Master Liu smiled happily: "Okay, well, if Mr. Mud comes back, I will definitely invite him to drink a few more cups!" ”

"Junior Chen Sanyou, I wish Master Liu a blessing like the East China Sea and a long life...... Longevity! ”

I was just about to say the words of blessing, when I suddenly looked up and saw a black dark mark between Master Liu's eyebrows.

"Huh! Presumably Mr. Chen is a friend of Mr. Mud, since he is a friend of Mr. Mud, he is also my friend, please take a seat! ”

Master Liu immediately smiled, and invited me and Mao Xiaodao to sit down, this seat, is not simply to find a seat to sit down, if to put it bluntly, it is a very noble person, the position he sits, that is, the upper seat, this superior seat, is the old birthday star Liu on the left hand side of one or two, these two positions, unless it is a person second only to Master Liu in terms of seniority and prestige, can sit, then since Master Liu asked me to sit with Mao Xiaodao, it means that Mr. Liu really regards Mr. Mu as a real confidant and friend!

But Mao Xiaodao and I are not stupid enough to really do that kind of seat, with seniority and qualifications, it is not our turn to sit, first of all, there are the dear brothers of Master Liu, as well as the respected elders of Liujiacun, no matter what, we should not sit on the seat, but sit in a corner with interest.

In the inner room, there is a banquet next to a curtain, entertaining female guests, and perhaps Master Liu's family is also in it.

"Master Liu has established the world with benevolence and righteousness, and we have seen the ups and downs for so many years, we have all seen it in our eyes, not only Liujia Village, but also Lijiazhuang, Niugoutun, etc., more than ten villages, all of which have lived a carefree life because of the support of Master Liu, for this reason, we should all respect Master Liu and Liu Shanren with a cup!"

An old man in the upper seat picked up his wine glass and said a few words tremblingly, that is, everyone nodded again and again, and when the words fell, everyone stood up, raised the wine glass and respectfully toasted Master Liu.

"Master Liu! I'll do it first! ”

"I wish Master Liu a long and healthy life and a long life!"

"Do it first for respect!"

“…………”

For a while, everyone was holding up their wine glasses, saying blessings that were both heart-warming and supportive of the scene, and toasted to Master Liu, but it was Mao Xiaodao beside me, staring at me without blinking, and without speaking, I turned my head to look at him in a daze, and asked, "What are you always looking at me for?" ”

With that, I poured myself the eighth glass of wine.

"I'm a child, you're not a child anymore, anyway, we all represent my family teacher, why don't you go and give Master Liu a drink?"

Mao Xiaodao glanced at me with disdain.

"Uh...... If you want to toast yourself, I won't toast a dead man, hehe! ”

As I spoke, I shook my head violently, smiled and poured the wine into my stomach.

"Huh? You! ”

As soon as my words fell, the whole scene fell into silence in an instant, and Mao Xiaodao beside me looked at me with a trembling face, his mouth trembled, but he couldn't say a word anymore, and when he saw countless people around him looking at us with their mouths wide open, Mao Xiaodao's face was blue and white, and he quickly stood up, barely squeezing out a smile: "Hehe! Master Liu, I'm really embarrassed, my third friend brother is drunk, what gossip did you hear him just now, please don't take it to heart! ”

"Oh......"

"It turned out to be drunk, hehe! No wonder you dare to talk so nonsense, we continue to drink and continue to drink, Master Liu must not take it to heart, and a drunk guy can't make a difference, hehe......"

"yes, yes! Master Liu is highly respected, we all look at it in our eyes, I guess we won't deal with a drunk, why don't we make a ...... to pay compensation to Master Liu?"

One of the guests reached out and tugged at the corner of my coat, and the last sentence was whispered to me.

"I'm telling the truth, what's the loss? What's not to lose?! ”

I stood up, frightened the guest and shrank back, as if afraid that I would lose face by selling him, waving my hands to tell me to shut up, but I slowly poured a large glass of wine, suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed at Master Liu's nose, and shouted: "He! He...... What's it called? Oh yes, Master Liu, Liu Wanhao, Liu Dashanren...... Today is Liu Shanren's birthday, but it is also the date of his death...... Hahaha......"

"You!"

Mr. Liu was still joking with the guests, don't worry about me in general, and persuade the guests not to ruin their mood, but I said a few words, and his face turned pale all of a sudden, and he slumped on the chair, pointing at me with one hand...... "You...... You go out ......."

"Why should I go out when I have good wine? Besides, you are now doing Shou and I drink Shou wine...... When you're dead, won't I be able to drink the final wine? Hahaha...... Wonderful, wonderful! ”

I bent down and picked up a jar of wine from under the table, opened the stopper casually, and poured it in a big gulp, at this moment, several nurses came over and easily lifted me up, I hurriedly hugged the jar of wine, and was carried out by them...... "Mao Xiaodao, you came to celebrate the birthday of Master Liu on behalf of your master, which is a good thing, but as soon as Master Liu dies, your birthday gift is a final gift, oh no, your master should make up for it...... Hahaha! ”

"Chen Sanyou, you! I wouldn't have brought you here if I knew you were drunk and crazy, Master Liu, in fact, the junior just met him today, and he is not a friend of the teacher, the younger generation is reckless, and I ask Master Liu to forgive me......"

Mao Xiaodao waved his hand at me and shouted, then interceded with Master Liu with a trembling smile, and after speaking, he turned around and ran to me, and shouted hurriedly: "Chen Sanyou!" What's the matter with you? Why did the good curse Master Liu die?! ”

“…… What Chen Sanyou...... I am Chen Xiaojiu, and I will not change my name or surname...... Chen Xiaojiu is also! ”

I was held by the arms of the two guards, but my mouth was still working, and I shouted intermittently, and by this time all the guests at the banquet around me had stood up and stared at me with expressions of surprise, horror, and anger, as if they were all trying to pounce on me and beat me.

"Huh? You, your name is Chen Xiaojiu? You have wine in your name......"

"Who cursed our master?! All right! It turned out to be you kid, eat my dog's left punch! ”

Before Mao Xiaodao's words were finished, I saw a figure rushing like lightning, and with a menacing posture, the words fell, a fist swung over, I hurriedly dodged, I knew that there was a Mao Xiaodao in front of me, I saw that the dog's remaining fist smashed on Mao Xiaodao's nose impartially, and the blood suddenly flowed down the nose, Mao Xiaodao touched the blood on his nose, and immediately shouted in horror: "Wine wine wine...... Master said that I couldn't meet someone with wine in his name today, and now it has worked...... Bloodlight Plague...... Woowoo woo ......"
