Mrs. Wang is a birthday star, but she doesn't dare to go to the main seat because of the existence of Hua Duchen. Hua Duchen smiled faintly with her hands in her hands, and motioned for a girl in white to step forward and help Mrs. Wang sit on the birthday seat.

"Birthday!" The master of ceremonies shouted, and the birthday gifts prepared on the side were presented in turn.

These birthday gifts that can be presented are all carefully selected. First, the person who wants to give the gift has status, and second, the birthday gift itself can be handled.

Wang Cheng has to hold a birthday banquet for his old mother every year, and his purpose is very clear, which is to take the opportunity to collect money.

There are several townships under Nanfeng Town, and the people in these townships are inside and outside, which one doesn't want to do anything to befriend him? He has no money in his hand, but as long as he can deal with the court, he is the emperor of the town.

Except for the affairs of the Brocade Mansion, he has the final say.

Therefore, the annual birthday banquet is the best time for him to make a big splash and make money. And the process of presenting a birthday gift is similar to marrying a daughter and "boasting about the dowry", which has a meaning of saying goodbye to each other.

They are all people of similar status and status, and the things they sent are bad, how can they be embarrassed to come to him next time to do something?

"I wish the old lady happiness like the East China Sea!"

"I wish Mrs. Wang a long life!"

“……”

Every time a person comes up, he says a word to congratulate him on his birthday, the master of ceremonies introduces the person's identity, and the person next to him presents his congratulatory gift. Mrs. Wang looked at the congratulatory gift, or smiled and nodded, or praised loudly, and everyone echoed it, and the sedan chair carried people.

This process is done every year, and all of them are familiar with it. As for what he thinks in his heart, whether he is scolding his mother, at least on the surface, it seems to be a ball of harmony.

Xu Sanchun listened carefully to the roll call of the master of ceremonies, and when it was Sun Yuanwai's turn, he saw an old man with a medium stature and a big belly, even if he was covered in silk and satin, he couldn't hide his vulgar temperament.

Beside him stood a woman with a round waist and thick arms. His head was full of pearls and emeralds, his face was full of joy, and he stood in the hall like a hill.

The congratulatory gift of the two is a bonsai of "Nanshan Ageless Pine". A pine tree, which is only arm's high, is planted in a pot, and the bottom is decorated with crushed jade and amber.

Among the congratulatory gifts, this pot of pine trees stands out. Sun Yuanwai's chin was almost raised to the sky, and Mrs. Sun muttered happily: "Oh, old lady, you don't know. In order to congratulate your old man on his birthday, we have been looking for a suitable pine tree for several years. ”

"Isn't it? I finally found it a year ago, but it wasn't easy. We have found a master to cultivate carefully, so that we can take it out to meet your old man. ”

Don't look at Mrs. Sun's appearance is not very good, a mouth is really good at talking. Regardless of whether she had been looking for several years or not, these words were said intimately and with twelve points of heart, and the old lady listened comfortably and smiled from ear to ear.

Although Sun Yuanwai did not speak, his posture and expression were full of pride.

is such a person, and he actually wants to marry a concubine in the tenth room? Xu Sanchun secretly slandered in his heart, looking at his figure, he was not very good, could he eat?

It's a scourge to women.

Xu Sanchun secretly held grievances for those women in his heart, and remembered Mrs. Sun's appearance in his heart. It is said that Mrs. Sun is a powerful person, and it seems that she is.

After a few more people, it was the turn of Tiantai Township to offer congratulatory gifts.

Li Zheng and Mrs. Li Zheng stepped forward to say a congratulatory message, and Xu Lan took the tray from the hands of his subordinates. She was full of excitement, longing for the praise of the crowd when the red silk was unveiled.

After coming to Nanfeng Town, Xu Lan understood why she was able to get a different look from Lizheng. Xu Sanchun's embroidery skills, not to mention in Tiantai Township, even in Nanfeng Town, are among the best existences.

She lowered her head and hid her uncontrollable smile, excited and looking forward to it.

"The old lady is too old, except for the salt field in Tiantai Township, there are really no good things to take."

Mrs. Li Zheng smiled, satisfied to see that Li Zheng from other townships showed a look of jealousy, and continued: "Fortunately, the juniors in our township are not bad and promising. This is not? I'm ugly for you. ”

Hearing her say this, everyone's eyes moved to Xu Lan. This little girl, can the township be so respected, is it because of her embroidery skills? Only this explains.

Being watched by so many people, Xu Lan proudly straightened her chest, stepped forward in her most elegant posture, knelt on the cotton cushion respectfully, and held the tray high above her head, "Xu Lan wishes the old lady happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

Old Lady Wang looked at her with a smile on her face, "It's really rare to be such a little girl." Show me, what's good on this end? ”

The servant who was waiting for her stepped forward and uncovered the red silk that was covering the interstitial screen.

Xu Lan's hands holding the tray high were a little sore, but she insisted on not moving, waiting for the next compliment.

On the interstitial screen, there is a very appropriate "Magu Birthday Picture", and the embroidery is very good. The lines of Magu's dress and the waves under her feet are all vivid.

It's just that......

The crowd gradually quieted down, and the air suddenly became silent.

The corners of Xu Sanchun's lips raised into a smile, and she looked at Xu Lan, her eyes full of sarcasm.

She didn't notice that Twilight, who was sitting on one side, was looking at her playfully. Jackdaw had already told him everything that had happened, including the siege for her.

The smile on Mrs. Wang's face gradually disappeared, and Mrs. Wang looked angry and stepped forward, "Smack!" The ground knocked over the interstitial screen on the tray and scolded: "Who gave you such a big guts!" Come here and make trouble! Say! ”

The sudden change made Xu Lan scream "ah", and her eyes looked around in panic for help. But as far as her eyes could see, everyone retreated, and no one wanted to be involved in it.

"I ...... I ......" Xu Lan stammered, she didn't know what was going on, and she couldn't defend herself.

In the eyes of Mrs. Wang, her expression was empty-hearted. Mrs. Wang pointed to the interstitial screen on the ground and pointed at Xu Lan viciously, "Someone!" Take this disrespectful fellow down, and I'm going to sue her!" ”

is worthy of Mrs. Baojia, and in an instant, Xu Lan was charged with a crime.

Xu Lan was stunned on the spot with a white face, she never thought that what was originally a glorious moment for her would become a sinner in the blink of an eye?

"No, no!" She took two steps on her knees on the ground, and when she reached the feet of Mrs. Wang, she cried and begged, "Madam, what have I done wrong?" Will you punish me like this? I have a filial piety to the old lady! ”

Wang Cheng said with a dark face: "What you did yourself, would you not know?" Don't play dumb! He was annoyed that he had made such a big ugly appearance in front of Hua Duchen.

What is going on in Tiantai Township! He looked at Li Zheng in Tiantai Township.

Li Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to clear up the matter: "Lord Wang, it was the Xu family who took the initiative to offer a birthday gift, and we agreed to it if we saw that she was sincere enough." Who knew that she would do such a thing. ”
