Chapter 59: The Feast of Birth

The sky was like a blue mirror, as clear as if it had been carefully polished. The light clouds reflected on it, as transparent as silk. "The banquet guests don't know how to be quiet at night, and they can enjoy the night singing with a toast." Different from the tranquility of the sky, if you are driving around the city and enjoying a leisurely afternoon, you may turn around and your carriage will stop at the intersection and no longer move.

"What's going on?" You ask, worried.

"Young master, in front of me is the birthday of the son of the Fan City Lord's family, and the people who came to congratulate him stood on the road and blocked the road." Your servant said respectfully.

That's right, today is the birthday of the Fan family's son, and the streets here have been surrounded by people who have come to congratulate them since the morning. The dignitaries and dignitaries who are usually difficult to see each other also stepped off the carriage at this time and stood on the ground, and the usual feeling of being arrogant was gone.

Chen Chen didn't know when he arrived here at this time, mixed in with the nobles. He was not really an aristocrat, and naturally he did not have clothes suitable for such an occasion. However, fortunately, Jianghan College's customized uniforms include a dress, and the style is tailored for each person, and the materials are extremely particular, even students from the same college are difficult to see, which does not make him embarrassed at this time.

"Brother Liu, long time no see......"

"Yes, Brother Wang, it's been more than half a year since the last time......"

“……………………”

The words of greetings in each other's ears kept coming out, and everyone was in the network of relationships in this tidal flat, and there were always one or two who knew each other very well and spoke well. Only Chen Chen was in it at this time, looking at the gate of the Fan Mansion that was out of reach in front of him, and then at the crowd behind him who couldn't see the end, he sighed secretly in his heart, and had no choice but to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.

The crowd gradually moved forward, and Chen Chen finally saw the exterior wall of the Fan family's mansion: the blue stone bricks were paved with the bottom, the walls were painted with fresh red paint, the hollow windows were decorated with some wood grain from time to time, and finally the top was sealed with streamer blue tiles, which was difficult to describe from the outside alone.

When you get closer, you can hear bursts of music coming from the door, drums, gongs, and suona. Red lanterns and bright flowers have been set up at the entrance, and the lively atmosphere comes through the gaps between the crowds. When they arrived here, everyone involuntarily stopped talking and stood up straight to look at the location of the gate of Fan's house.

"The waiter Liu Zhengqing came to congratulate him, and he gave a gift of 600 horses of silk, 50 catties of spices, and two boxes of gold!"

"Please come in, please come in." The middle-aged man standing at the door stretched out his hand with a bright smile on his face, this person was Fan Zuolin, the city lord of Yunyang City. Followed by Fan Chengxu, who was wearing a gorgeous dress, was also serving guests at the door now, saluting over and over again.

"Shangshu Wang Zhi came to congratulate, 500 horses of silk, 60 catties of spices, and 3 boxes of gold!"

"Liu Wenmiao, the living room, came to congratulate him, and he gave a gift of 600 pieces of silk and 70 catties of spices!"

"Taishi Guo Shangming came to congratulate, congratulatory gifts of three hundred horses of silk, fifty catties of spices, two boxes of gold, plus a pair of top-grade jade!!"

“………………”

The crowd gradually moved forward, and Chen Chen was about to enter the door, when a red-clothed entourage stopped him: "Hello, do you have a greeting?" ”

Chen Chen took out the warm prayer note from his arms and handed it to him. At this time, he heard Fan Chengxu in front of him whisper to Fan Zuolin next to him: "Father, this person is Chenchen." ”

Chen Chen was not stunned at all, and after receiving the post, he walked generously in front of Fan Zuolin, and after bowing in a proper manner, he said: "Xiaomin Chenchen, meet Fan City Lord." Then, he took out a very beautifully packaged gift box from his arms and handed it to Fan Zuolin.

"What is this?" City Lord Fan looked surprised.

"This is the authentic wild ginseng on Tianyue Mountain, as a congratulatory gift for the next."

Fan Zuolin laughed when he heard this, and handed the gift box to the entourage next to him while applauding: "Please!" "Please."

Chen Chen walked into the house and heard a voice behind him: "Chen Chen came to celebrate his birthday and give a thousand-year-old wild ginseng!" ”

After hearing this, Chen Chen pouted invisibly in the shadows, the "wild ginseng" was everywhere in their village, and they were all eaten as radishes. Originally, it was just something that was prepared casually, but I didn't expect it to really come in handy.

As soon as you enter, you will find a large field in the center, which is now crowded with many people, but it is not crowded. In the center is a towering rockery with green moss growing on it, and a stream of water trickles down from the top of the mountain. There is a pond at the bottom, in which there are lotus leaves, and a few koi fish swim and soar in it, like dragons.

The decoration inside is even more ornate, with colorful ceremonial flowers being decorated everywhere, and colorful ribbons are hung on the windows, arches, and even trees, coupled with cheerful music and a large number of people, it looks very festive.

Chen Chen then walked inside, and found that everyone who walked by him was holding a glass glass, which contained wine, drinks and other items. The little servants in red clothes kept walking by, holding jade-colored wine jars in their hands, which seemed to be convenient for others to refill wine at any time. He was also very interested in this, so he walked in the direction of the crowd, also wanting to join in the fun.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the long table in the room, and the plates on it, on which were placed dates, osmanthus cakes, peony cakes, and other snacks, and in the center were all tall glasses, and the vessels filled with drinks were placed beside the tree-like gilt candlesticks. Chen Chen walked there very naturally, picked up the drink and poured a glass, his movements were smooth, and no one would be able to discover his true identity. That's what he thinks of himself. (How is it the same as an agent?) )

Chen Chen took the cup and walked to the backyard, where was the Fan family's garden. I saw that the corridors were interconnected, and in the crevices were planted shrubs full of small yellow flowers and large trees with emerald green branches. It's a pity that it's afternoon, and if it's night, sitting in the pavilion and enjoying the flowers and the moon is also quite emotional.

Chenchen had already circled the house, and had basically walked around everything except for the guest rooms and the house where they usually rested. I have to say that although their group of nobles is not very kind, the aesthetics are indeed online.

But now it is Fan Chengxu's birthday banquet, and no matter where he goes, there is a crowd of people who are arm in arm. Finally, since you've come here, let's take a break here. Chenchen also heard the nobles in the back garden gathering together and discussing something.

"Look, how about this bracelet of mine?"
