Chapter 19 Birthday Celebrations

Dear insects, I've been working hard to save manuscripts in the past two days, and I'll participate in PK on July 1st, and I'll see you when the time comes...... Also, I want a ticket...... I want to collect it...... )

Under Mrs. Li's watchful eye, Li Qin reluctantly called Jiang Zhixuan "brother-in-law", and when it was his turn to be young, he was willing to call "sister" sweetly!

Mrs. Li smiled with satisfaction, and there was an extra shrewd, capable and well-behaved daughter, and a son-in-law who was outstanding in all aspects. Moreover, the parents of this daughter and son-in-law are no longer there, so it is easier to accept and harmonize emotionally. How can this make her unhappy, who has always regretted that she has no daughters under her knees?

Then, Mrs. Li left Li Qin in the room and asked him about the situation of the township test. So that Xiaoxiao and Jiang Zhixuan can be alone for a while, and talk about the pain of lovesickness between their husband and wife for seven or eight days.

Walking slowly in the back garden of He Mansion, Xiaoxiao and Jiang Zhixuan respectively told each other about their experiences in the past few days.

When he heard that Xiaoxiao, with the help of Li Rusong, had successfully signed three large-scale restaurants in Huayin County, Jiang Zhixuan couldn't help but hug Xiaoxiao's shoulders and said softly emotionally:

"Wife, for the sake of this family, I really wronged you!"

Then he thought of something and asked in a low voice:

"You told your husband that you recognized Mrs. Li as your stepmother, did you do it out of sincerity? Or is it to use Mrs. Lee's influence? ”

Xiao Xiao was stunned, and then asked with a smile: "How about sincerity?" What about exploitation? ”

Jiang Zhixuan pondered for a while when he heard this, and then he said seriously:

"If you are sincere, of course the husband is happy for you and for our husband and wife. But if it's just to use Mrs. Li's influence, it feels a little inappropriate to be a husband! My husband can see that Mrs. Li really likes you and loves you! ”

Xiao playfully pinched Jiang Zhixuan's nose: "My stupid husband, of course it's out of sincerity!" Of course Mrs. Li is good to me, and I know it, how can I bear to hurt the feelings of such a kind person as her? Don't worry, Xiaoxiao will never do anything that is difficult for her husband to accept? ”

Jiang Zhixuan let out a long breath when he heard this, and turned to discuss the matter of congratulatory gifts with Xiaoxiao. As a result, the couple sat on the stone bench in the garden and pondered for a long time, but they didn't think of what gift to give!

Xiaoxiao lamented in her heart: "It turns out that gift-giving has been a matter of racking your brains since ancient times. ”

I can't help them not rack their brains, with the status of the house, the gold and silver treasures are obviously not suitable; The calligraphy and paintings of celebrities are elegant, but with the current financial resources of the young couple, I am afraid that they can't even afford the calligraphy and paintings of second-rate characters; Moreover, it is the 70th birthday of the most noble old lady in Hefu, and the artistic conception of the gift is very important......

After thinking about it for a long time, he really didn't know the essentials, so Jiang Zhixuan simply put aside this matter for the time being and talked about his exam for Xiaoxiao.

Speaking of the bedding, wicker, fine salt, "hamburgers" and other things that Xiaoxiao prepared for him, they played a huge role in the three-day exam. Jiang Zhixuan thought about those scholars who were so cold that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they were dirty. I had a deeper feeling for the carefulness and thoughtfulness of the little one in my heart, and I couldn't help but whisper: "Xiaoxiao, if you have a wife like you, what more can you ask for?" ”

Xiaoxiao is still thinking about the congratulatory gift for the evening. At this time, I heard him speak too quietly, and I thought he was chanting some kind of poem, and I was trying to ask clearly. But my mind suddenly remembered an allusion to a poem I heard in my previous life, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was suitable for tonight's occasion, and I smiled at the moment:

"Husband, I have an idea!"

"What's the idea?" Jiang Zhixuan was confused by her abrupt words.

"Tonight's gift!" Xiaoxiao tapped his forehead with her finger and said with disgust!

Jiang Zhixuan came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly asked eagerly:

"What's a good idea? Tell your husband about it! Who knew that Xiaoxiao put his mouth to his ear and whispered. I saw Jiang Zhixuan's brows sometimes stretched, sometimes furrowed. Finally, he chuckled:

"Wife, how did you come up with such a wonderful verse?"

"Hehe, although the little woman is not as tall as her husband, it is not uncommon for her to occasionally come up with one or two good poems. It's a good little girl who is also from a scholarly family of poetry and books! ”

Seeing that she was so naughty, Jiang Zhixuan also stood up and made a gesture in cooperation: "The lady is talented, Xiaosheng admires!" It made a little puff of amusement, and couldn't help but pinch him gently. Jiang Zhixuan exhaled pain, but he didn't dodge at all, but had a cheap expression of enjoyment, and the couple actually laughed in this small garden......

It was getting late, and outside the gate of Hefu, carriages stopped one after another. After the guests with the congratulatory gifts in their arms and in their hands disembarked, the carriage drove to the backyard, where there was a family to entertain the servants who drove the car. A pair of large welcome lanterns were hung at the door! He Jin, a counselor in his fifties, dressed in a pale red robe, stood at the door with a spring breeze on his face to greet guests. In the spacious courtyard, thirty Eight Immortal Tables are lined up in five or six, and there are already many guests sitting at this time, and next to each Eight Immortal Table, there are two servants, a man and a woman, who serve tea and lick water for the guests at any time.

Above the main hall, the seventy-year-old Mrs. He sat under the huge red screen with the word "Shou" and smiled from ear to ear, revealing a few teeth...... Mrs. Li took a little one left and one right to sit next to the old birthday star, and introduced some guests to her from time to time.

After a while, the welcome lantern at the door was removed. This means that all the guests have arrived and the table is about to begin.

Li Qin, Wu Pei, Mo Shaojie, Jiang Zhixuan, and He Jin's two sons, He Rongguang, and He Rongrong sat at the same table. Several people are of the same age, the same generation, and they are the same year, so they can talk quite well.

At this time, Li Qin was grabbing a handful of melon seeds and snorting hard, and his eyes glanced at the kitchen from time to time. Seeing that the banquet was about to start, he asked Jiang Zhixuan:

"Brother-in-law, after a while, my uncle has finished toasting the wine, and it is time for the guests to offer a gift. Are your gifts ready? ”

Wu Pei and Mo Shaojie heard him call him like this, and their cramped stomachs began to hurt again. That was when the two of them were promoted to Li Qin's brother-in-law by Jiang Zhixuan in the evening, and they laughed and cramped. Li Qin was so depressed that he couldn't do it.

Jiang Zhixuan heard him ask, and bowed slightly: "Don't worry, it's ready!" Guaranteed to blow your mind! ”

Several people looked at him suspiciously: I haven't seen him go out in the afternoon, when will the gifts be ready......

But the time was not yet up, and no one knew how his gift would surprise them. I had to wait patiently, and several people talked about their experiences during the township test. Only Li Qin stared at the kitchen door intently, while Jiang Zhixuan looked at Zhenghuan's beloved wife who was chatting with the old birthday star from a distance......
