It turned out that the man standing at the door turned out to be the county lord of Huayuan County, and what surprised Zhang Xiaoxue even more was that the county lord actually said that he had something to discuss with her.

Hearing this, although she didn't know what the county lord would have to discuss with her, Zhang Xiaoxue was not as she originally planned, put down the gift and left.

"Lord County, you are too polite, I was going to put down the gift and leave, but since the county lord still has something to discuss with me, then disturb it.

Yesterday, my father and eldest brother and I came to the county to sell peaches, but I didn't expect to meet your procurement office to buy my peaches, and I learned that it was the old lady in the house who was going to celebrate her 60th birthday.

Now that I know, I want to give a gift to show my heart, it is a mask I made myself, and a birthday cake, and I hope the old lady will not dislike it. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue had no choice but to smile and say.

"What did you say, Lord Xueshan, it is also my honor for you to come to the house, how can we dislike it. ”

After the county lord of Huayuan finished speaking, he ordered a maid next to him to lead Zhang Xiaoxue into the mansion first, he couldn't leave here, because another group of people had to come forward to greet him.

Zhang Xiaoxue was still holding the gift box in her hand, and she didn't find out who was the person who received the gift, and when she was about to ask, she found that there was another person next to her who came to give the birthday gift, or she was holding the gift by herself, and followed the maid who led the way to the house.

Could it be that this gift still has to arrive in the house before there is a special reception staff to register and receive it?

Zhang Xiaoxue had doubts in her heart, so she followed the maid who showed her the way to the county government, and there were many maids and family members on the road, all of whom were busy passing by them from time to time.

When the maid led Zhang Xiaoxue to a big courtyard, she saw that a large shed had been set up in the courtyard, and there were many tables and chairs in it, and of course more than half of the tables were already seated.

There are men and women sitting separately as Zhang Xiaoxue imagined, they are actually mixed together, there are men and women sitting at the same table, it seems that they should also be acquaintances, they are all talking and laughing.

At the most conspicuous table, sat several women dressed in silk, young and old, as if they were talking about something happy, with smiles on their faces.

Zhang Xiaoxue heard the person next to her call the oldest old man an old lady, it seems that she is today's protagonist Lao Shouxing.

For this reason, Zhang Xiaoxue also looked at the old lady a few more times, and she did look like an old man in her 60s, with a lot of wrinkles on her face, and even some age spots had grown on her face.

The old lady wore a crimson skirt today, and the clothes were embroidered with the word longevity pattern, which gave people a very rich feeling, and a smiling appearance, which made people feel very kind, not that kind of mean face, which made people feel good at a glance.

The maid who led the way for Zhang Xiaoxue did not stop at the table where no one was sitting, but went straight to the old lady's side, Zhang Xiaoxue originally wanted to find a table to sit down next to him, but he didn't know if this seat had been arranged.

I had to follow behind the maid, and I didn't understand why I didn't let myself sit at another table, could it be that I had to lead her to the main table?

Oh, I see, Zhang Xiaoxue saw that the man who gave the birthday gift in front of them was also holding a gift box in his hand, so the maid who led him the way also led directly to the old lady.

The man said a few words to congratulate his birthday, then opened the gift box in his hand, let the old lady take a look, and then closed the box, and a maid behind the old lady walked up to the man and took the gift in the man's hand.

Zhang Xiaoxue saw the maid who took the gift, and handed the gift to the person behind her to take it away.

And the man who had given him the birthday gift, and the maid who led him the way, took him to a table and sat down, and there were people next to the table he was sitting on, who might still be acquaintances with him, but after the man sat down, he began to talk with the people at the same table.

Hehe, there is even a link of face-to-face birthday gifts, it is really unexpected, it seems that she was too simple to think at first, originally she thought that someone would receive gifts only at the door and register them.

This poor and rich people have a birthday, but it is really different, it is like a tribute here, and the poor family, listening to Zhang's mother, when celebrating a birthday, even the elderly, that is, their own children, and important relatives, come to send a few eggs, or send a piece of meat, and have a lively meal, it is good.

And the children in the family celebrate their birthdays, that is, it is good to boil red eggs to eat, and some are not birthdays at all.

Soon it was Zhang Xiaoxue's turn to walk in front of the old lady, and the maid who led her the way had already whispered a few words to the old lady.

Zhang Xiaoxue is deaf and clear-sighted, even if there is a lot of noise here, as long as she wants to listen, of course she can hear what this maid said to the old lady.

Hehe, it turned out that she was introducing her identity to the old lady, but before Zhang Xiaoxue could speak, the old lady actually smiled first.

"It turned out that the county lord of Xueshan personally came to give me a birthday gift for this old thing, the old body is really happy, I heard my son talk about you two days ago, and I praise you, you have done good things for our people. ”

"The old lady is really too polite, you can just call me Xiaoxue, I heard yesterday that you are 60 years old today, so I prepared a thin gift, and I hope you don't dislike it."

Here I also wish the old lady a long life, good health, and a smile forever. ”

After Zhang Xiaoxue finished speaking, she put the red gift box in her hand on the table next to her and opened the small wooden box.

"This is a mask I made myself, which is applied to the face to maintain the skin, it will make the skin less wrinkled, more hydrated, and will make people look many years younger. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue said as she showed the mask to the old lady, closed the box again, handed it to the maid next to her, and untied the golden ribbon tied to the red gift box.

"Inside this red gift box is a kind of pastry that I made myself, I call it a birthday cake, and it is the most festive to eat on my birthday.

Because it is a big one, it is necessary to separate it with a knife when eating, and it is lively when everyone shares and eats together.

While introducing the birthday cake, when Zhang Xiaoxue opened the gift box and revealed the birthday cake she made, she heard the exclamations of the people around her.
