Chapter 31: The Birthday Banquet

[Chapter 1, Volume 1]

Section 31 Chapter 31 Birthday Feast Offerings

As soon as Mu Qingya arrived in the front yard, the music stopped, and Qin Hua and several other Qin family members invited guests to sit down!

Qin Yue, who had been restless, only slightly relaxed after seeing Mu Qingya come back. Mu Qingya hurriedly held her hand and said in a low voice: "Mother, there were some things delayed just now, and I came here after I took care of them, don't worry, what is uncomfortable with you?" ”

Qin Yue shook her head: "Mother is fine!" ”

Qin Yue looked at Mama Zhou on the side, and saw that Mama Zhou nodded slightly, and then relieved her heart, after all, now that Qin Yue is already pregnant with an heir, and it has only been less than two months, it is the time when you need to be careful in everything!

The guests have arrived, Qin Jiannan sat majestically on the host's seat, with a slight smile on his face, and after the guests were seated, he got up and said: "Thank you for coming to the old man's birthday banquet, the old man is overwhelmed with 'excitement'!" You don't have to be formal, you have to have fun! ”

Everyone hurriedly got up, and a series of words of praise overflowed the courtyard!

Mu Qingya took a closer look at this grandfather who had met before. He was born as a military general, with a chilling and heroic atmosphere, sword eyebrows and sideburns, sharp and majestic eyes, looking like a majestic general, but the white 'color' of sideburns and hair still betrayed his real age, proving that this former hero is approaching twilight.

Feng sat on the side, receiving the compliments and flattery of everyone, his face was full of smiles, and the four Qin daughters-in-law 'women' next to him were accompanied by him, and the first grandchildren of the Qin family gathered together, looking happy.

The smile on the corner of Mu Qingya's mouth deepened a little, judging from today's situation alone, this Qin family can be regarded as Zhong Mingding's food family!

After the guests toasted, the atmosphere of the banquet became lively! For a while, the guests were happy to be staggered, pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

Suddenly, one ran in, with a happy 'color' on his face, knelt down at the 'door' of the hall and said loudly: "Lord Qiqi, the eldest prince came to announce the congratulatory gift in the name of the emperor, and he will be at the 'door' in a quarter of an hour!" ”

Qin Jiannan smiled: "Okay, go down and receive the reward!" Adults, Qin is sluggish, please understand! Come on, prepare the incense case! ”

"Yes!"

The old lady Feng was even more overjoyed! The emperor sent a congratulatory gift, what an honor this is, she only felt that her heart was about to jump to her throat!

Mu Qingya lowered her eyes, it seems that Qin Li's exploits this time are really not small! An official's birthday can make the emperor personally send a congratulatory gift, there are too many things in it!

The incense case here has just been prepared, and the eldest prince has already led the mighty 'dang' and 'dang' people to the 'gate' of the Qin Mansion, and the eldest prince is dressed in a dark yellow 'colored' prince's costume, holding a bright yellow holy decree in one hand, but a majestic posture!

Qin Jiannan led everyone to kneel on the ground, and respectfully listened to the eldest prince read the holy decree!

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Zi Taifu Qin saw the sixty years of the south, I was happy, and I specially sent two pairs of 'jade' Ruyi and six hundred taels of gold......"

The long list of birthday gifts made everyone envious, it seems that the Qin family is really pampered!

“…… Chin this! After the eldest prince finished reading, he looked at Qin Jiannan with a smile on his face, "Master Qin, congratulations!" ”

After Qin Jiannan kowtowed and thanked him, he got up to receive the holy decree and personally went to the hall to make offerings, and then welcomed the eldest prince into the table!

"Thank you, Great Prince!"

Everyone stood up and looked at the holy decree enshrined in the main hall, and the congratulatory voices were doubled! Before everyone could sit down, the announcement sounded again: "The Seventh Prince has arrived!" ”

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Duanmu Lingyu, who strode in: "Seventh brother, why are you here?" ”

Duanmu Lingyu was dressed in dark purple 'colored' casual clothes, and the 'jade' crown was graceful and handsome, and when his eyes swept over Mu Qingya, he paused slightly, and then turned around: "I've seen the eldest brother!" The younger brother heard that the eldest brother came to congratulate the emperor on his father's birthday to Mrs. Qin, and the younger brother also came to ask for a glass of wine to eat! Mrs. Qin wouldn't be unwelcome, would he? ”

Qin Jiannan hurriedly spoke: "Where is the Seventh Prince, it is an honor for you to come to the Qin Mansion, please take a seat!" ”

Duanmu Lingyu didn't refuse, Shi Shiran did it to the side of the eldest prince Duanmu Lingyun, gently shaking the folding fan, looking leisurely!

"The eldest prince, the second prince, next is the time for everyone to give gifts, the two of you look at ......," Qin Hua walked over and said respectfully.

The eldest prince: "This prince and the seventh brother are here to celebrate their birthday, so we should treat us as ordinary guests, and we don't need to be so polite, since it's time to offer a birthday gift, let's start!" ”

After Qin Hua saluted, he announced the start of the gift!

Qin Jin's hands tightened, and a hint of 'gloom' flashed in his eyes. Her birthday gift, the birthday gift she prepared with her heart and soul was ruined, and she couldn't swallow this breath in her heart!

Qin Li and Qin Sang were stationed outside the customs and could not return to Beijing without a recall, so they couldn't come back this time, but the birthday gift was delivered! Qin Li sent the unique green 'jade' Buddha statue of Qingzhou City, the carved Buddha statue is majestic, the lotus 'flower' under the seat is lifelike, the green 'jade' presents the dark blue 'color' and the lotus 'flower' is pink and white, the three kinds of 'color' are integrated into one, the 'color' is transparent, the 'jade' quality is warm, and it is extremely rare to see the top grade! Immediately attracted everyone's amazement!

Qin Sang sent a basket of Mobei specialty longevity peaches! Each Shou Tao is the size of two fists, and it was rushed over from Mobei, thousands of miles away, and there was no slightest 'color', and even the leaves under the Shou Tao were verdant 'desire'! It's dumbfounded!

Compared with their eldest brother and second brother, Qin Min and Qin Hua's congratulatory gifts are a little 'colored', they are a red 'colored' coral tree and a 'jade' eagle! Although it is not as outstanding as the previous two, everyone who watched it was envious and amazed!

Next, the gifts of the grandchildren are all kinds of "color" gifts, and for a time the front hall is full of jewels!

Soon arrived at Qin Jin, Qin Jin put away the dissatisfaction in his eyes, and sent a set of gorgeous clothes prepared in advance: "Grandfather, Jin'er wishes my grandfather happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan!" Jin'er didn't have anything to do, she only made a shirt with her own hands, and I hope my grandfather won't dislike it! ”

Qin Jiannan smiled: "Jin'er's filial piety is commendable, how can my grandfather dislike it!" Looking at Qin Jin, who is becoming more and more beautiful below, Qin Jiannan is satisfied, this granddaughter has been smart since she was a child, and now she is even more outstanding, and it is not an exaggeration to say that 'Yan' is overwhelming! The most important thing is that the scheming means are on the table, a 'woman' with wisdom and beauty, which man can stop it? This is the pearl of Qinfu! His eyes flashed slightly, "Jin'er's filial grandfather is very satisfied!" “

After hearing this, Qin Jin breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and the smile on his face brightened a little!

This laugh shocked everyone even more! She was originally dressed very beautifully, Yunfei makeup 'flower' satin weaving colorful 'flower' butterfly brocade dress on her body as if alive, fluttering butterflies seemed to be about to fly out, making her so beautiful that she was not like a mortal! Now looking back and smiling, it has added three points of charming 'color', as if it has collected all the hundred 'flowers' and 'colors', gorgeous and amazing!

Seeing everyone's reactions, Qin Jiannan and Qin Hua were overjoyed in their hearts, it was time for this pearl that had been cultivated for more than ten years to shine!

Everyone even praised Qin Jin, and Qin Jin was in the limelight for a while! The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, Qin Jin felt a lot better in his heart, because the anger of the destruction of the birthday ceremony was suppressed a lot.

Duanmu Lingyu played with the wine glass in his hand, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes: "Taifu Qin, I heard last time I came to Qin Mansion that Miss Mu came with her mother to celebrate her birthday, why didn't I see her offer a congratulatory gift today?" ”

Qin Jiannan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered who Miss Mu was in his mouth, some time ago he heard that Qin Yue had returned, but although Mu Yizhi was in the eyes of the emperor, she didn't have the need to let him see it in person, so she put this matter in the back of her mind, this Miss Mu should be Qin Yue's 'daughter', but he never thought about how this Mu Qingya got into the eyes of the Seventh Prince? However, if the Seventh Prince was interested, he wouldn't mind sending her to the Prince's Mansion to help the Qin family! Thinking about it, there was a little more smile on his face.

Mu Qingya got up, straightened her skirt, and slowly approached the hall. Compared with Qin Jin, she didn't look much 'glamorous' at first glance, but when she tasted it carefully, she found that her facial features were extremely beautiful, and her noble aura flowed slightly, which made people unconsciously follow her with their eyes!

"Qingya has seen the eldest prince and the seventh prince!"

"It's not more polite!" The eldest prince looked at Mu Qingya and said.

After getting up, Mu Qingya saluted Qin Jiannan: "Qingya has seen grandfather!" May my grandfather enjoy a happy old age like the East China Sea. ”

"Good!" Qin Jiannan looked at the young 'girl' in front of him, and was slightly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect a young lady from Jiangnan to have such a bearing!

The Seventh Prince shook his fan and asked, "Miss Mu, have you prepared a congratulatory gift?" ”

Mu Qingya's smile remained unchanged: "Qingya is naturally prepared, since she is here to celebrate her grandfather's birthday, where will she come empty-handed?" Wouldn't it make my grandfather laugh! ”

Duanmu Lingyu's smile deepened, and he came empty-handed? I'm afraid he's the only one who came empty-handed at this banquet, and this girl even dares to laugh at herself!

Saying that, someone has already brought Mu Qingya's birthday gift up! I saw that the birthday gift seemed to be a screen, and the wide red 'colored' silk cloth was covered on it, blocking the birthday gift tightly!

"Huh? This birthday gift seems to be a screen? The eldest prince Duanmu Lingyun said.

"Back to the eldest prince, it is indeed a screen!"

Everyone looked at Mu Qingya with some doubts for a while, although this screen is also a good congratulatory gift, but it looks bleak at the Qin family's birthday banquet, which of the birthday gifts of the Qin family is not 'fine' selection and 'fine' preparation, no matter how good her screen is, where can it be?

Mu Qingya didn't speak, walked straight to the screen, held the corner of the silk cloth and lifted the silk cloth up with a sudden sound! Suddenly, there was silence in the hall!

I saw that the screen of more than one person is dazzling, a picture of rivers and rivers jumps on it, the towering mountains, the gurgling water, the swirling clouds and mist, all on the screen, look carefully and see that it is embroidered with silk thread!

In the amazed eyes of everyone, Mu Qingya motioned to the little guy on the side to flip the screen over, and at a glance, people were even more surprised to freeze in place, only to see that the other side of the screen turned out to be a picture of a pine crane extending its life! The white crane leaps into the air, and the feathers are lifelike, and it seems that people can see the subtle fluffy 'hair'. The strong lone pine ancient pine is rooted in the rugged mountain rocks, and it looks more and more verdant!

Qin Jiannan was also surprised, he didn't expect it to be a rare double-sided embroidery! Such a 'fine' and beautiful craftsmanship is probably the most 'exquisite' embroidery in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to get up to eleven!
