Chapter 45: The Gift
Hearing this, Old Man Shao set his eyes on Su Luo.
"Hello old man. Su Luo said hello.
Shao Yingying couldn't wait to say on the side:
"What does Grandpa think of him? Zixi has found you a 'good' grandson-in-law!"
Before Old Man Shao could speak, the old lady Shao on the side, Wang Yanping frowned:
"Okay, what's good! This young man looks ordinary, where is he qualified to be the son-in-law of our Shao family? Yingying, you are really, Zixi is ignorant and found a boyfriend casually, why don't you help persuade him!"
Shao Yingying smiled and said:
"Grandma, I have persuaded Zixi, but it is useless! I have no choice if people have to like this poor boy, so I can only rely on you elders to persuade me!"
Wang Yanping pretended to be worried, and sighed:
As the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. Women need to be very cautious in choosing their other half, and you have found such a kid as a boyfriend, it's really stupid! You should learn more from Yingying, the boyfriend people are looking for, it's a son-in-law from Yanjing!"
Shao Yingying said very proudly:
"That's it, Zixi, you have to listen carefully, grandma's lessons are all good words!"
Shao Zixi watched coldly at the two singing and harmonizing.
She knew that Wang Yanping, as her grandfather's second wife, was on the side of Shao Yingying, and she had always been at odds with her father Shao Zhengguang and herself, and there was a lot of friction in secret.
Now, they see that Su Luo has a great relationship with them, and they also want to make Su Luo ugly.
"Have you said enough?"
Shao Zixi said coldly.
Wang Yanping showed a hypocritical smile on her face:
"Hey, what's the matter with you kid, grandma is all for your good, why don't you look like you accept it?"
Shao Yingying also helped on the side:
"Shao Zixi, the tone of your voice is not right, is this the attitude that you should have towards your elders......
"Alright!
At this moment, Old Man Shao, who had not spoken, spoke and interrupted Shao Yingying's words.
"What do you look like here, are you waiting for others to see our Shao family's jokes?"
Old Man Shao was quite displeased.
Shao Yingying immediately closed her mouth, and Wang Yanping didn't say anything more.
Then, Old Man Shao looked at Su Luo and said meaningfully:
"Young man, my Shao family's son-in-law is not so easy to be!"
Hearing this, a flash of joy flashed on the faces of Shao Yingying and Wang Yanping.
It seems that the old man is not very satisfied with Su Luo!
Su Luo said lightly:
"Old man, don't worry, my Su Luo's ability is not something that everyone is qualified to see. ”
Shao Yingying's face changed:
"Bold, how did you speak to the old man?"
However.
"Hehe, what an interesting young man!"
Old Man Shao just smiled, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Su Luo carefully, as if he wanted to see Su Luo through.
However, it is obvious that there is no result.
So, Old Man Shao smiled and said:
"Zixi, you can entertain this little brother well!"
Then the old man departed to entertain the guests.
This made Shao Yingying dumbfounded.
Grandpa just left?
"Hmph! You're lucky this time, grandpa didn't get angry just now!"
A flash of hatred flashed in Shao Yingying's eyes, and then she left with Wang Yanping.
"Su Luo, I'm sorry, I've bothered you today! Shao Yingying's vein has always been at odds with my father's vein, they must have seen that you were brought here by me, so they attacked you. ”
Shao Zixiqiao's face was full of apologies.
"It doesn't matter. Su Luo shook his head and said:
"However, Sister Xi, I didn't expect the conflict between the two of you to be so fierce that even I, an outsider, would be involved!"
"Alas! not to mention these annoying family affairs!"
Shao Zixi couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then asked curiously:
"By the way, what happened just now, why didn't Grandpa get angry with you?"
Why?
Su Luo smiled mysteriously.
Of course, when he was talking just now, Su Luo revealed his cultivator's aura to Old Man Shao.
The Shao family, it's not enough to ignore a cultivator, right?
However, Su Luo still smiled at Shao Zixi:
"It's a secret!"
"Stinky Sulo, is it so mysterious?"
Shao Zixi rolled her eyes.
It didn't take long.
Shao Zhengguang also came to the hall.
There was also a middle-aged man who followed him into the hall.
If Su Luo guessed correctly, the middle-aged man should be Shao Yingying's father.
Next.
The birthday party officially began.
"Thank you for coming to my birthday party!"
Old Man Shao spoke first, and then drank a small glass of wine in his hand.
"Old man Shao, what are you talking about? It is our honor to be qualified to participate in your birthday party!"
"Yes, not just anyone can come to Shao's house, and we also want to thank you for looking up to us!"
Everyone also raised their wine glasses one after another to toast to Old Man Shao.
"Here, we all wish Old Man Shao more and more health!"
"I wish the old man all the best!"
"I wish the old man all his wishes come true!"
"Good, good!"
Old Man Shao's face was red and he smiled heartily:
"I'm a person who thanks everyone for their good words!"
"Haha, Old Man Shao, you're polite!"
The atmosphere of the banquet was lively, and everyone pushed the cup to change the lamp, looking peaceful.
After about half an hour, everyone was full of food and drink.
At this time, Shao Zhengguang took out a pair of calligraphy and paintings and sent them to Old Man Shao:
"Dad, my son knows that you like calligraphy and painting, so I deliberately let people pay attention to it, and it just so happened that I found this handwritten painting of Tang Bohu in the antique street, and now I will give it to you!"
Old Man Shao glanced at the painting, and then laughed:
"Yes, Zhengguang, you have a heart!"
Shao Yingying's father was not to be outdone, came to the old man, and took out a delicate and unique porcelain vase:
"Dad, this is the legendary Ice Crack porcelain, which I accidentally discovered at the auction a few days ago, and it is the most suitable birthday gift for you!"
Old Man Shao picked up the porcelain vase, looked at the ice cracks covered with the porcelain vase, and laughed:
"Sure enough, it's ice crack porcelain, it's rare now, Zhengchen you should have spent a lot of money, right?"
"Money is a small thing, as long as you are happy!"
Shao Zhengchen said respectfully.
Next.
The crowd also gave their own gifts.
"Old man, I heard that you love the tea ceremony, I will give you a tea set of thousand-year-old purple sand!"
"Old man, this is a set of jade Go, you can play more Go if you have nothing to do, and activate your brain!"
"Old man......"
Shao Zixi and Shao Yingying also gave their own gifts.
In the end, Su Luo also stepped forward.
"Old man, this is a gift for you!"
"Haha, thank you...... Huh?"
However, before Old Man Shao finished speaking, he spoke.
Because, he found that Su Luo's so-called gift was actually a stone.
Everyone was also stunned, and they all looked at Su Luo with strange eyes.
Nima, I haven't heard of a stone as a gift.
Shao Yingying couldn't hold back her sneer:
"Hehe, you poor boy, can't afford to buy a gift, and you dare to give a stone to your grandfather?!"
