All kinds of exquisite dishes, along with the four treasures of white steak, have also been put on the table, Yang Xiaotao took a closer look, except for the four treasures of white steak, the rest of the dishes are quite ordinary.

At this time, a woman said, "Old lady, this dish is the first time I've seen it." ”

Everyone present was immediately attracted by this voice, only to see the woman who spoke, wearing a silver embroidered hundred butterfly flower skirt, probably because of the cold weather, and added a soft wool brocade cloak, this set of clothes, is the new product of Tao Ji.

Look at the woman's skin like condensed fat, a pair of smart eyes, and her lips slightly open, what a beauty.

Yang Xiaotao looked a little distracted, but she was still happy on the side, and gently pulled her sleeve and called, "Mother." ”

The old lady looked in the direction of the woman, and when she saw the person clearly, she pretended to be angry and said, "It's Jun'er, you girl, you haven't come to see my wife for a long time." ”

This woman's name is Zhang Jun'er, she is the granddaughter of the old lady of the Cao family, different from Cao Zixun's family, Zhang Jun'er's father is a businessman, although her identity is not as good as Cao Zixun, but Zhang Jun'er is known as the most beautiful woman in An Yu.

Zhang Jun'er smiled, got up in the direction of the old lady, gently supported her body, and then said slowly, "Grandmother, father and mother, I couldn't rush back to celebrate your birthday, so I specially asked Jun'er to bring a gift to show filial piety." ”

As soon as Zhang Jun'er's voice fell, a little girl behind her, holding a brocade box, walked in the direction of the old lady, everyone was curious to follow the little girl, the brocade box in her hand looked over, except for Yang Xiaotao, they basically knew that Zhang Jun'er was the child of a merchant, and the family foundation was not ordinary.

The girl beside the old lady quickly took the brocade box in the little girl's hand and put it on the desk in front of the old woman.

Glancing at the brocade box in front of her, the old lady put her eyes back on Zhang Jun'er, and said with a loving face, "Your father and mother have a heart." ”

Seeing that the old lady didn't seem to want to open the brocade box, Zhang Jun'er pursed her lips slightly and said, "Grandmother, don't you even take a look?" Father and mother put a lot of thought into preparing this gift. ”

The granddaughter was so coquettish, the old lady smiled and nodded lightly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just take a look, you girl." ”

Saying this, the old lady slowly opened the brocade box, and the old lady's movements also aroused the curiosity of the other people who were seated, and they stretched their necks to take a look at the objects in the brocade box.

And Xia Nansheng, who was sitting next to Yang Xiaotao, whispered in her ear, "That brocade box, but it is engraved with the word Taoji, it won't be you." ”

Yang Xiaotao nodded slightly at Xia Nansheng, and asked Zhang Jun'er to take out the brocade box, and Yang Xiaotao knew what was in it.

A sharp-eyed guest was already surprised and exclaimed, "That's Tao Ji's jewelry, I heard that each set of Tao Ji's jewelry is at least 5,000 taels of silver." ”

Although Tao Ji only opened in An Yu the day before yesterday, the fame of Tao Ji spread to An Yu very early, as long as it is a woman and has seen things there with her own eyes, she can no longer take her eyes off.

In the brocade box, there is a pair of jade bracelets, jadeite is not only the best imperial green, and the most important thing is that the jade bracelet is finely carved, a variety of Fu Lu Shou patterns, such fine handwork, so that the pattern and the bracelet are perfectly integrated.

Yang Xiaotao made this pair of bracelets at that time, completely customized according to the requirements of the guest, even this excellent jadeite, but also provided by the guest, although the workmanship is complicated, as long as there is a slight mistake, this pair of good imperial green jadeite bracelets will become a scrap.

Although the risk was big, Yang Xiaotao still agreed, after all, the guest opened one, and she was extremely satisfied with the price, but she didn't expect that this pair of bracelets was a gift for the old lady's birthday.

Cao Zixun looked at her grandmother and couldn't put it down, playing with the gift given by Zhang Jun'er, her little face sank slightly, how could she let Zhang Jun'er steal her limelight today, she quickly stood up and reminded softly, "Grandmother, today's father is also for my grandmother's birthday, so Zixun specially prepared this white steak four treasures." ”

Everyone was amazed at the pair of jade bracelets, and was suddenly interrupted by Cao Zixun's voice, and only then turned their attention back to the dish.

The old lady seemed to like the pair of bracelets very much, and directly asked the girl next to her to help her put the jade bracelet on her wrist, looked at Zhang Jun'er and said more lovingly, "Your father and mother have a heart." ”

Zhang Jun'er glanced at Cao Zixun, and then saluted the old lady and said, "It's good if grandmother likes it." With that, he sat down slowly.

The old lady looked at Cao Zixun at this time, she didn't know what her granddaughter was thinking, so she said, "Zixun, you can tell everyone about this dish." ”

Cao Zixun glanced at Zhang Jun'er contemptuously, raised his slender chin, and said, "This dish, called the Four Treasures of White Grill, is the emperor's imperial dish, and all the ingredients in it are extremely rare, and it is even more blindly wide-bellied, which is made of the most ferocious shark in the sea." ”

Speaking of this, everyone sighed, Cao Zixun saw everyone's surprised appearance, and said with some pride in his voice, "This dish is specially prepared by my father for my grandmother's birthday." ”

After listening to Cao Zixun's words, the old lady was even more happy, and said, "They are all good children with filial piety, and they have spent a lot of thought for the birthday of the old man." ”

"Grandmother, my father was busy with official business in the capital, and he couldn't rush back to celebrate your birthday, he was extremely guilty, and repeatedly told Zixun to arrange your birthday banquet." At this time, Cao Zixun did not forget to remind her grandmother that her father could not come back because he was busy with important matters in the court, and Zhao Yun'er's father and mother did not rush back.

Before the old lady could reply, one of the guests said, "Old lady, what a blessing! ”

As soon as this sound fell, some people began to praise it, saying nothing more than that the old lady has a good son, a good daughter, a good granddaughter, and so on.

Listening to these compliments, Yang Xiaotao was a little bored, looked at Xia Nansheng beside him and said, "When will this birthday banquet end?" ”

Xia Nansheng explained, "Generally, this kind of banquet will not end until the evening. ”

Yang Xiaotao lay directly on the table, sighed and said, "It's so boring." ”

Le'er also cooperated, learning from Yang Xiaotao's appearance and pouting, "Le'er is so boring." ”

Xia Nansheng saw the appearance of the two people in front of him, one big and one small, sandwiched some vegetables, put them in Yang Xiaotao's bowl, and said, "At that moment, I will go to say goodbye to Miss Cao and take you to leave early." ”

Yang Xiaotao's eyes widened, and she quickly nodded, "Is it okay?" ”

"Naturally, you can." Xia Nansheng saw Yang Xiaotao's cute appearance, and he almost couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.

Knowing that she could leave earlier, Yang Xiaotao also cheered up and took a small bite of the dishes Xia Nansheng sandwiched for her.

And this scene just fell on, Cao Zixun's eyes, seeing Xia Nansheng taking care of Yang Xiaotao so carefully, Cao Zixun always felt that the two of them were not like ordinary friends, how could any friend be so close, and then looked at Xia Nansheng's eyes, and never left the woman named Yang Xiaotao.

Cao Zixun gritted her teeth, she was careless, although this woman already had a daughter, but how could she guarantee that she would not seduce Xia Gongzi, not to mention that Xia Gongzi was such a noble person, as long as it was a woman, she would be tempted.

Thinking so, a voice suddenly sounded beside Cao Zixun.

"Cousin Zixun, I think that Xia Gongzi is extremely attentive to the woman next to him."

Cao Zixun turned her head to look, and at some point, Zhang Jun'er was already standing beside her, Cao Zixun said dissatisfiedly, "Are you here to see my joke?" ”

Zhang Jun'er didn't care, sat down slowly beside Cao Zixun, gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and said with a charming smile, "Anyway, we are cousins, we are all our own family, how can my cousin turn her arms out?" ”

Cao Zixun turned her head and no longer looked at Zhang Jun'er, but snorted softly, although they are cousins, but from childhood to adulthood, both of them have grown up compared with each other, she is not as beautiful as her cousin, but her cousin is just the daughter of a merchant after all, and the gap in identity is destined to make her only marry a merchant in the future.

Zhang Jun'er didn't care about Cao Zixun's attitude, and slowly said, "Look at that Xia Gongzi, born so handsome, if my cousin can marry her in the future and sit in the position of a wife, not only will she enjoy glory and wealth in the future, but even my uncle will have an unlimited future." ”

Although Cao Zixun didn't pay attention to Zhang Jun'er, she heard what she said clearly, how could Cao Zixun not know the benefits of marrying Xia Nansheng, but the last time they met in Anhe Temple, Xia Nansheng said that he didn't remember her, and today she specially invited the woman next to him, so he agreed to come.

Zhang Jun'er glanced at Cao Zixun, who was facing bitter gourd, a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes, and he whispered in Cao Zixun's ear, "As long as the raw rice is cooked and cooked, I'm afraid that Xia Gongzi won't admit it?" ”

Cao Zixun's face immediately turned red, and his voice was a little louder, "How can you do this?" ”

It may be that the voice is a little loud, and some guests who are watching singing and dancing at a few tables nearby are attracted by her voice, and suddenly turn their heads to look at them curiously.

Zhang Jun'er immediately smiled embarrassedly at the guests who looked at them, and then whispered to Cao Zixun, "Cousin, how about being quiet, let others hear it?" ”

Cao Zixun also felt that her actions just now were a bit rude, but remembering Zhang Jun'er's words just now, she glared at Zhang Jun'er angrily and said, "It's not because of you." "Sure enough, she is the daughter of a merchant, and she can say such shameless words.

Zhang Jun'er was not angry, and on her good-looking little face, she said with a look of grievance, "Cousin, I think about you all about you, how can you say this about cousin." ”

Seeing Zhang Jun'er's pitiful appearance, Cao Zixun looked at her suspiciously, but thought in her heart, why did Zhang Jun'er help her, she said that cooking raw rice and ripe rice is indeed a good way, but even if she does, she can't cooperate with her, who knows if Zhang Jun'er will stab her in the back.

Zhang Jun'er seemed to see through Cao Zixun's thoughts, looked around carefully, and then secretly took out a small bag of things from his cuffs, quickly stuffed it into Cao Zixun's hand, and whispered, "Cousin, don't say that cousin won't help you." ”

Cao Zixun suddenly had an extra thing in his hand, and his heart seemed to have missed a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhang Jun'er smiled very ambiguously, and then leaned close to Cao Zixun's ear and said softly, "As long as you let Xia Gongzi eat it, my cousin's wish will come true." ”
