Chapter 21 Birthday Greetings
Duan Liyan just nodded, got up and took the wooden box in Ah Xiang's hand, and walked to Mrs. Du.
"Grandmother. ”
Liyan knew that his grandmother was compassionate and helped the weak, so he specially prepared a special congratulatory gift for his grandmother. ”
Duan Liyan hugged the wooden box and flattered Mrs. Du.
Old Madam Du smiled softly and sighed, "I'm curious about the gift of Yan'er." ”
Duan Liyan squinted his eyes and smiled well-behaved and pleasant, but Xiao Qianhuan on the side saw a touch of cunning in Duan Liyan's smiling eyes.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Xiao Qianhuan stared at Duan Lixian with interest.
The fourth prince, Xiao Qianfeng, was also a little curious about this thunderous Miss Duan.
Slowly, Duan Liyan opened the box and took out a square thin book from inside, which was still inlaid with gold edges, and it looked very precious.
"Grandmother's birthday, from the mourning to think about it, the father must not lack those gold and silver vulgar things, so he thought of an excellent idea, in the name of the grandmother to the royal temple Qingchan Temple donated 1,000 taels of gold, this is the temple to give the merit book, the host also for the grandmother to pray for the lamp, hope that the grandmother is healthy, the children and grandchildren are prosperous. ”
As soon as Duan Liyan's congratulatory gift came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, they never thought that she would come up with such a congratulatory gift, this congratulatory gift, saying that it is precious is also precious, but there is an empty book, which is really not as useful as the real money.
Duan Wanyu also opened her mouth, looking stunned, such a congratulatory gift made her a little confused about finding flaws.
Old Madam Du and Duan Li's faces also changed, obviously they didn't expect that the congratulatory gift that Duan Liyan sent today would be such a book, which really made them unprepared.
In the end, it was Mrs. Du who was shrewd, she personally took the merit book, and smiled very happily, "This gift is really heartfelt!"
Duan Lifu was blessed, "It's good if grandmother likes it." Raising his eyes and casually scanning Duan Li, he saw that his face was dark and uncertain, and he didn't have Mrs. Du's happy appearance at all.
She secretly sneered in her heart, wanting her to give her her hard-earned silver with both hands, how could it be! Donating the temple in his name was already the biggest concession she could make, even if it was what she should do as a child.
This congratulatory gift with no name and no appearance makes them like dumb people eating coptis, and they can't say anything about their suffering, especially Duan Li's last sentence, which is full of children and grandchildren, but everyone knows that this sentence is the most satisfying words for Duan Li.
Who doesn't know, the Privy Council has made Duan Li a high and powerful position, and the wives and concubines in the family are beautiful, so unpleasant, the only fly in the ointment is that Duan Li is over forty years old, but he has not given birth to a son.
glanced at Duan Liyan impatiently, but finally didn't say anything.
Duan Liyan looked at them, and he only felt very comfortable.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Wanyu, as the concubine of the Duan family, presented a congratulatory gift to Mrs. Du, and saw that she took out the picture of the child's birthday that she had snatched from Duan Liyan, and proudly gave it to Mrs. Du.
"Grandmother, this is the monthly money that Yu'er herself saved on weekdays to buy for her grandmother. ”
Old Madam Du nodded, "Yes, that Yu'er really has a heart." ”
At this time, Duan Liyan on the side suddenly raised his head and spoke, "Yes, grandmother, Liyan can testify for Sister Yu'er, this picture is...... , sold in my uncle's shop, I went to play in the shop that day, and happened to see my sister there, saying that I forgot to bring the silver, I thought that it was all my own family, she would definitely not rely on the silver, not to mention the birthday gift for my grandmother, so I played a package ticket with my uncle. ”
After Duan Liyan's words, the Duan family's faces couldn't help but change, and Duan Wanyu looked at Duan Liyan in shock, and couldn't help blurting out, "Duan Liyan, what are you talking about, this is obviously your ......"
Duan Liyan smiled lightly and approached Duan Wanyu, "That's right, I helped you do it, because I believe that Sister Yu'er will definitely pay it back, right?"
"This is a birthday gift for your grandmother, and if you say that you forced it to come, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to your grandmother. Approaching Duan Wanyu, Duan Liyan said in a very low voice.
Duan Wanyu's chest rose and fell violently, a mouthful of turbid breath was held in her chest, she swallowed her anger, and turned to a smiling face, "Yes, sister, buy a congratulatory gift for your grandmother, you should spend as much silver as you want, don't worry, I'll give you the silver in a while." ”
"Okay, okay, you two have hearts, go down!"
Duan Li's face is already extremely ugly, this Duan Li, I'm afraid he didn't come to smash the field today!
Duan Liyan's eyebrows were bright, and he returned to his seat in a good mood.
On the other side, Duan Wanyu sat back beside her mother Ye Yin, and the mother and daughter muttered a few words, and their faces were not very good.
At this time, Duan Liyan didn't know that two eyes looked at her at the same time.
Xiao Qianhuan could see it clearly on the side, and sighed in her heart that this girl was smart, bold and careful, among the many women in the capital, she was really special.
Similarly, the fourth prince Xiao Duanfeng was also interested in Duan Liyan, he looked at Duan Liyan's back with heavy eyes, and his intuition told him that this woman was extremely smart, coupled with her background background, if she could...... Slowly, the corners of Xiao Qianfeng's mouth pulled up a smile with deep meaning.
Unintentionally raising his eyes, Duan Liyan suddenly swept Duan Wanyu's eyes Yingying looked at this side, and followed her gaze, it was actually ...... , looking at the Four Princes?
The light that came out of her eyes, with her as a person who had come over, clearly saw an unusual aura.
Looking at Xiao Wanfeng again, he glanced at Duan Wanyu casually, then blinked his eyes and quickly withdrew his gaze.
In such a situation, Duan Liyan dared to conclude that the relationship between these two people must be unusual.
However, the appearance of this fourth prince is indeed very annoying, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, fair skin, more beautiful than a woman, but there is less masculinity, and the same is true of Li Shizi next to him, a big man, but the fat powder is so strong, it also makes people speechless.
After the birthday celebration, the birthday banquet began, it was nothing more than watching some singing and dancing, eating and drinking, the food was very exquisite, but Duan Liyan had no appetite, lowered his head, and ate in small bites.
At this time, there was a sudden scream in the venue, and Duan Liyan raised his head in response to find that half of the people had stood up from their chairs, looking at the ground with a frightened expression.
Duan Liyan subconsciously also looked towards the ground, and suddenly got up in amazement, and saw two long snakes with green bodies crawling quickly towards the main seat.
I'll go, isn't that Zhu Yeqing!
Duan Liyan's heart tightened, how could such a poisonous snake appear in this place! And there were still two of them when they appeared!
"Ah, there are snakes, poisonous snakes!" The screams in his ears continued, and the crowd became flustered, and coincidentally, Duan Liyan was squeezed a few steps forward.
