Chapter 51: Birthday Ceremony
Before the words were finished, all the people had already poured a glass of wine, and then raised it together to ask for a glass to respect the old lady.
"It's just that before drinking, I want to show off the birthday gift I received."
At this moment, everyone couldn't help frowning, this birthday gift has always been directly deposited in the old lady of the treasury, although she is already a handful of years, but Land Rover can also be regarded as a big family, how can you attach so much importance to such a birthday gift, and take it out to show off.
"Present all those birthday gifts just now, and let them all open their eyes."
As soon as the words fell, two little maids lifted the salutes up with great difficulty, and they were afraid of breaking them, so they handled them gently.
"You see this is a blue and white porcelain vase, it looks like it's just an ordinary ubiquitous bottle, but there is a longevity peach painted on it, so it can be seen that this is a custom-made bottle. The person who gave this gift really has a heart, and I thank you in advance here, old lady. ”
When the two brothers of the Rong family saw the gifts they gave on it, they naturally felt that there was light on their faces, and their Rong family was naturally not bad for these two jujubes, but they could get verbal praise from the old lady, which was a big deal.
"If you look at this pillow again, you may think that it is just an ordinary pillow, but in fact it is not because this pillow is made of herbs, and it smells faintly aromatic, which helps you sleep peacefully."
I really didn't expect that a small pillow could also hide a mystery, and when everyone was admiring it, the old lady pulled out another calligraphy and painting.
"I'm afraid everyone feels a little familiar with the person who painted it, but I don't know who can tell me?"
When she saw this painting, Lu Xueyi already recognized that this was Xie Qi's handwriting, only he would be so powerful, but there was some elegance that did not disperse.
After watching for such a long time, Xie Qi's painting skills are still improving, and everyone is talking to each other below, because these two people are really distinctive.
"Aren't the people in this painting the old lady Lu and the old man Lu sitting on it!"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were so bright, the old lady nodded with satisfaction and put aside the painting in her hand.
Picking up the pair of gloves given by Lu Xueyi, Lu Xueyi was shocked, put her gift at the end and said, there must be an ulterior secret in this, could it be that something went wrong?
But this is not very reasonable, after all, my gloves were sewn overnight, and I have pricked my fingers several times, and there are still some wounds on them.
She went to the temple to ask for Buddhist beads and scriptures, and then embroidered them with gold thread one by one, how could the old lady be harsh on herself.
"You may think that this is just an ordinary pair of gloves to keep warm, but it is not, because the gold thread on it is embroidered with my favorite scriptures, and these two strings of Buddhist beads are also enlightened by the masters."
Lu Xueyi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, it seemed that she had nothing to do, she was worried about it just now.
However, Lu Xueling's expression was very nervous, she was a concubine, and with her identity, the gift she sent should be the first to be introduced.
There are so many prominent people in front of her, but she is put in the last place, is it because the old lady found out that the trick she played was not successful?
Aunt Xia seemed to see that something was wrong with Lu Xueling, so she hurriedly called her, "What's going on, Ling'er?" Didn't you give me a pair of gloves too? Could it be ......"
Lu Xueling nodded with difficulty, and at this time the old lady picked up the pair of gloves she sent.
"There's also a pair of gloves here, and you might think it's just a normal pair of gloves, but yes, it's just a normal pair of gloves! There is nothing special about it, and you can buy it in any embroidery workshop. ”
Hearing this, Lu Xueling's blue and white for a while, he really didn't expect Lu Xueyi to do so much on this, and he just bought one casually, no wonder the old lady would be so angry.
"Seeing such a gift really makes me feel chilled, preparing a birthday gift is not my own mind, but speculating on others, and learning is only the essence of the skin, it is useless."
The old lady said this lightly, and Lu Xueling was so frightened that she quickly got up from her seat, and then knelt down facing the old lady.
"This matter is indeed Ling'er's fault, Ling'er didn't think it through, and gave the old lady a not very decent birthday gift, and I hope the old lady will forgive me."
Lu Xue was silent on the side, when she saw the gloves, she already understood what was going on, but today was the old lady's birthday, and she thought that more things were better than less.
However, she doesn't care about this matter, it doesn't mean that the old lady doesn't want to worry about it.
"Actually, it doesn't matter to me what kind of birthday gift you give, the entire Lu Mansion is mine, but your attitude towards my old bone is not respectful, but perfunctory!"
The old lady bit these words very hard, as if Lu Xueling had committed some heinous crime, which shocked everyone present, and they had never seen the old lady so angry.
"Since someone doesn't want this birthday banquet to go smoothly, then I won't eat it."
After saying that, the old lady stood up and hurried back to the house, and the maid next to her naturally did not dare to slack off and followed.
The old man couldn't help it, and when he saw the old lady's thunderous appearance, he slapped the table violently, "You really disappointed me." ”
Seeing this, Aunt Xia also quickly got up from her seat, and then knelt beside Lu Xueling.
Something so big happened, can she, the mother, get away with it? It seems that this time their mother and daughter are more than lucky, and there is such an unpleasant thing at the old lady's birthday banquet.
"Master, the concubine believes that there must be a misunderstanding in this, so ......"
The lord didn't want to listen to any more justifications now, after all, the facts were in front of him.
"What misunderstanding can there be? The human and material evidence is already here, and the evidence is ironclad, I think you still want to refute it. Do you know why Ling'er has become so arrogant and domineering now, and it's not because you don't teach your mother well! ”
Hearing this, Lu Xueling's gums were about to crush, why did Lu Xueyi always crush her no matter what.
and even affected his mother, and he was punished and scolded with himself, all of which was to blame on that slut, who was too conspicuous, and wanted to be in the limelight for everything.
Lu Xueyi looked at all this in front of her indifferently, and Mingzhu stood behind her with a swagger. Miss now has the support of the old lady, so Aunt Xia and Lu Xueling have no way to ride on her head.
"Miss, if you add oil and vinegar to the side, I think the punishment for the two of them will be even more severe."
This is the old lady's birthday banquet, and she dared to give a perfunctory gift casually, even those outsiders were not as good, but the two brothers of the Rong family, Dr. Qu and Xie Qi all sent precious gifts.
No one is short of those two money, but the heart is the most important thing in the eyes of the old lady.
"Then why bother, we just need to watch the show, and definitely don't get into trouble."
The reason why Lu Xueyi is so calm is because she is sure that there will be others next to her. She is not the only one in this Lu Mansion who looks at Aunt Xia and Lu Xueling unpleasantly.
Sure enough, at this critical moment, Liu Qingqing stood up, how could she miss such an excellent opportunity?
"My lord is in our Lu Mansion, and he will definitely not be able to encourage this unhealthy trend, if he doesn't punish him this time, then next time, someone will inevitably get even worse."
This time it is a birthday gift for the old lady, and it can be regarded as a family member, but next time if it is a birthday gift for the prince and minister, what if it is a birthday gift for the emperor?
At that time, if it is just a casual perfunctory, it will not be a matter that can be solved by a punishment, and it will not be too much if it is all over the house.
The old man's eyes were like they were about to breathe fire, and Lu Xueling and Aunt Xia were a little frightened when they saw it, and they didn't know what kind of punishment they had to accept.
"Master, Ling'er is not that kind of child, have you been together for so long, don't you still believe her?"
When Master Lu heard this, he snorted coldly, hasn't she always been such a petty girl?
It's just that he used to dot on Aunt Xia, so he didn't take these things to heart, and just let the two of them go, and he turned a blind eye to himself.
But now he has offended the old lady, and on such a big occasion as the birthday banquet, God knows how much energy and time he spent preparing this birthday gift, but now he is completely denied by such a perfunctory gift.
"The old lady said, she looks at the attitude, but your attitude towards the old lady is perfunctory and deceitful. What's more, this gift of yours is not carefully prepared by yourself at all, but plagiarized someone else's creativity. ”
If this kind of stealing can be acquiesced, then there will be no way to discipline the subordinates of the Lu Mansion in the future.
What's more, she's just a concubine, even if it's a punishment to set an example, there's nothing wrong with it, the old man has already thought about it in his heart.
Aunt Xia was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and when she saw Lu Xueyi on the side, she just wanted to drag her into the water together.
"In any case, the concubine doesn't believe that Ling'er would do such a thing, maybe Yi'er is a hindrance, and maybe the two gloves are transferred?"
Aunt Xia can even say such shameless words, Lu Xueyi really doesn't know whether she should cry or laugh now.
