Two days later.

Early morning.

As always, there was a full rooster cry in Yizhuang.

Then, there was movement.

"Hey, hey, don't sleep."

"It's Master's birthday today, get up quickly, if you delay the hour, don't go."

Ah Wei was dressed in a light red robe, carrying a baton in his hand, and gently patted Wen Cai's cheek.

A dissatisfied murmur came out, and Wen Cai opened his sleepy eyes and began to crawl under the bed.

Midway.

"Forget it, I'll squint a little longer, it's still early."

As he spoke, he wanted to fall.

The wicked need to be grinded by the wicked.

Unlike Qiusheng and Meng Fan, Ah Wei was not used to him, so he directly lifted the collar of his shirt, dragged it away, and dragged him away from the bed.

Inside the courtyard.

Meng Fan, who had already finished washing, rode a horse, came back early after buying from the street, and began to put it up.

Qiusheng went back to his aunt's house to find new clothes to change into, and made an appointment to come over for breakfast as soon as possible.

Corner.

Uncle Jiu is shaving seriously, and he is still wearing that set of gray shorts with white shampoo, but it may not be necessary after a while.

After all, he is a good-looking person, and the younger generation and the big people in the county celebrate their birthday together, so they must dress themselves up a little bit.

Wen Cai followed behind Ah Wei, reluctant one second, and the next moment he stepped out of the door, and when he saw Uncle Jiu, he immediately changed his face:

"Master, morning~"

"Well, it's rare for you to wake up so early."

The whole Yizhuang is full of relaxed and warm atmosphere.

About seven o'clock.

Qiusheng, who had changed into a brand new light purple robe, came to the courtyard and greeted Uncle Jiu.

deliberately stopped, just waiting for today's Maoshan Ming to change into clean clothes, with a modest smile on his face.

Uncle Shi is a traditional Taoist in his bones, although he does not reject foreign gadgets, but today is his old man's birthday, and Meng Fan is not unconventional, changing shirts, trousers, and leather shoes.

In fact, since he came to the Republic of China, he didn't have a choice at first, he wore it for a while, and when he saw his uncle, he immediately changed into traditional clothes such as robes and horse coats.

Right now, Meng Fan is wearing a light robe that he just got back from the tailor's shop yesterday, a specially customized model-

In order to show his youth, he specially asked the master to tattoo some inconspicuous dark lines, such as grapevines and auspicious clouds, so that they can be detected when they look closely.

Low-key yet atmospheric.

I promise not to embarrass my uncle.

County.

Bohol Inn.

The first floor is open as usual to welcome visitors from all over the world, but the second floor is closed to the public.

At the corner of the stairs, there is a big happy word pasted with various colored silks.

In the big box, the hanging lights are colorful, even the screen is carefully selected, what five blessings to offer longevity, birthday star public offering peach, the picture eucalyptus is all related to the birthday, even the strange stone placed in the room, are engraved with Ruyi, Ganoderma lucidum large Shoushan stone.

However, it is still the golden longevity character placed in the middle of the wall of the hall, which shines brightly against the background of the sunlight, and is the most eye-catching.

"This ...... It's an exaggeration. ”

Uncle Nine in a brand-new robe has some stage fright, he has lived for more than 50 years, and he has never seen such a luxurious birthday banquet, and the protagonist is still himself.

"The Sword Comes"

"Master, you can enjoy it with confidence."

"If you don't steal this money, you won't rob it, it's all a disciple's heart."

Ah Wei can speak well, and soon let Uncle Nine recover, and the money he earned from selling his old house to honor his master is indeed very clean.

The ancestors knew that Ah Wei could worship under the famous teacher, and it was too late to be happy.

"Senior brother, let's go out to greet guests."

"Okay."

Meng Fan greeted Qiusheng.

The two of them are responsible for their appearance, responsible for welcoming guests outside, and making a long face for Uncle Jiu, while Ah Wei and Wencai accompany each other in the box, plus the head of Maoshan Mingdao, the atmosphere is not too cold before the guests come.

As soon as he left the box, he saw Ren Fa taking his daughter Tingting upstairs, and Meng Fan hurriedly greeted:

"Master Ren, please."

"Meng Daochang, little master Qiusheng." Ren Fa smiled and bowed his head.

On the side, Ren Tingting also greeted them.

Soon after, more and more guests went upstairs, and the courtesan Ah Wei was pulled out so as not to make jokes about the unfamiliar visitors.

"County Magistrate Ma."

"Local Zhang clan chief."

“……”

It is indeed a big man with a face in the county.

During this period, there was also a little fat man in a suit and bow tie, surnamed Hong, who was a comprador who, according to Ah Wei, was very rich and could get a gun from a foreigner in private.

No matter how outrageous the price is, if you can get a large number of imported brand-new foreign guns, you have the ability and a wide range of roads.

But Meng Fan felt that this little fat man surnamed Hong was very flexible and capable of fighting, because his appearance was exactly the same as the famous dragon and tiger martial artist Sammo Hung in later generations.

In addition, there is also a big boss of a commercial bank, who looks the same as the well-known actor Wu Ma, not surprisingly, Meng Fan will accompany the master to play the pinnacle competition in Xiangxi, and he will also meet a master who will bump into his face.

"All the people on the list are here, and it's done."

"Let's take our seats."

Ah Wei couldn't stop the smile on his face at all, firstly, he was happy for the ninth uncle of the master, and secondly, when he saw the big man when he welcomed the guests, it seemed rude not to smile.

In contrast, Meng Fan and Qiusheng were a little cold.

Of course, it will not make guests feel abrupt, unfamiliar, and left out.

All in all.

It's to save face for Uncle Nine.

Winter Winter ......

Qiang Qiang ......

Outside the window, on the street, a team of lion dancers is performing, and the skilled ones try to pick the green, namely:

Climb high and pick an object called "green", which can be green vegetables or other things, anyway, it has an auspicious meaning.

In fact, long before the lion dance, the characters of each team went upstairs to ask the birthday star Uncle Nine to use a cinnabar pen to put the finishing touches on the lion.

Then, the lions began to jump, up and down, and make various movements, which attracted applause from passers-by.

Although Meng Fan watched the lion dance for the first time, he felt that it was looking for green, and sure enough, when he noticed that something was hanging from the height, the lions began to jump and climb along the stakes, competing for kung fu.

In the end, the master of the Huang family class was highly skilled, and he was the first to succeed.

【Blessing such as the East Sea, Shoubi Nanshan】

In the midst of all the attention, the mighty lion opened his mouth and spit out the "green", revealing the words in the scroll.

"Good!"

Meng Fan took the lead in applauding.

It is true that he can easily do this kind of great skill in the eyes of ordinary people, but at the moment it is a birthday celebration, not a fighting method and eliminating demons.

"Good!" "Good!"

"I wish Uncle Nine a happy birthday."

Everyone in the box spoke in unison.

Because they made it clear in advance that they would not accept money or valuable gifts, the squires arranged this "Lion King Competition" to make a good fortune.

This county has not been so lively for a long time, not only Uncle Nine is happy, but the villagers are also excited, feasting their eyes and bringing bright colors to the boring life.

Best of both worlds.

"Uncle Nine, this is the cake."

"Blow it out."

Comprador Hong took out the fresh cake prepared in advance, lit the candle, and explained with a smile:

"As soon as the candle goes out, there is a son and a daughter-in-law."
