When I arrived in the front hall, I saw that Nie Dong's family was already there.

She held the teacup in her hand, but she didn't drink it, her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.

Hearing footsteps, she immediately looked up.

When she saw that it was Tao Qian who came in, a faint smile flashed in her eyes.

"Third Master Tao." She stood up and said hello politely.

Tao Qian nodded, "Nie Dongjia." ”

Nie Dongjia's gaze then fell on several juniors of the Tao family.

She nodded to a few people, but when she looked at Tao Yao, she was a little more cautious, "Xiaoxiao, you got married last time, I was in the Northland, and I couldn't come back, this is the wedding gift I gave you." ”

With that, she took a box out of her sleeve and handed it over.

"I don't know what you like, this box of pearls, I hope you will."

When Tao Yao met her somewhat apprehensive eyes, she paused, reached out to take it, opened it and looked at it, and then said with a smile: "Thank you Nie Dongjia, I like it very much." ”

Nie Dongjia was ready to be put on a face by her, and when he heard this, he looked at her with some astonishment, as if he was very uncomfortable.

Others were surprised.

"Nie Dong's family must have rushed back for my father's birthday, right? You've had a hard journey, so sit down. Tao Yao said sincerely.

In the end, Nie Dongjia is a person who is accustomed to seeing the world, although he has doubts in his heart, he has calmed down.

"Thank you." She sat down as she was told.

The others followed suit.

Looking at Nie Dongjia's very charming face, she couldn't help but ask about the Northland.

“…… Although it is not as rich as ours, the grassland is vast and the land is vast, and it has a unique style. Nie Dongjia talked eloquently.

Everyone listened with relish, and couldn't help but sketch in their minds the magnificent picture of the grassland.

"What's in that box in Nie Dong's house?" Tao Yao's eyes fell on the box in Nie Dongjia's hand, and asked with a smile.

When Nie Dongjia heard this, he became a little cramped, "This, this is for your father......"

"A birthday gift for my father?" Tao Yao answered.

Nie Dongjia hesitated, "I couldn't think of what to send, so I embroidered a belt for Tao Sanye, but I'm not very good at being a woman, I'm afraid it ......."

"My dad won't dislike it, my dad said, it doesn't matter what you give, the important thing is that heart. Nie Dongjia, hurry up and bring your belt to my father. Tao Yao said with a smile.

Tao Qian looked at her with wide eyes.

That was obviously said by Tao Ling, not by him......

When Nie Dongjia heard this, he plucked up his courage and pushed the box to his hand, probably because she was afraid that her craftsmanship would be laughed at, so she advised: "You go back and look at it again." ”

Tao Qian didn't take the box, "It's good that Nie Dong's family is here, you don't need to bring a gift." ”

The belt is too intimate, and if he accepts it, won't it be misunderstood?

When Nie Dongjia heard this, he glanced at him, "Isn't the third master disgusted with my rough craftsmanship?" ”

When Tao Qian heard this, he denied it: "Of course it's not ......"

"No, then take it, it's your birthday today, it's not good to ask me to come empty-handed, I've known each other for so many years, I thought we were already friends." Nie Dongjia sighed.

At this point, Tao Qian didn't want to excuse himself, "I, I'll take it first." With that, he slipped the box into his sleeve.

Seeing this, Nie Dongjia's face softened a little.

"Third master, someone just sent a congratulatory gift for the old slave to hand it over to you." At this time, the butler walked in with a box.

Tao Qian took it and said in surprise: "Who sent it?" ”

"The old slave didn't know, the giver left the box and ran away, and the old slave didn't have time to ask." The butler replied.

Tao Qian frowned, and the others also looked strange.

"Dad, open it and take a look, see what it is, maybe there is a signature in it." Tao Yao said.

Tao Qian nodded and opened the box.

Unexpectedly, what was in the box turned out to be a belt.

There is also a delicate embroidery on the belt, which is very exquisite, and it can be seen that the person who sent it was attentive.

But Tao Qian looked at the embroidery on it, but he was stunned.

Tao Yao saw his strange appearance and couldn't help but look at it twice.

I found that the embroidery on the belt was just a very ordinary auspicious cloud, but the workmanship was really good, which shows that the person who sewed this belt was very skilled.

"Dad, this is ......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Tao Qian suddenly grab his belt and get up and rush out.

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased out.

"Daddy!"

Tao Qian ran all the way to the door of the house.

But where is the figure of the gift giver?

He unwillingly followed the direction the butler said and chased for a long time, but he did not find any trace of the man.

He originally wanted to continue looking for it, but Tao Yao's panting voice suddenly came from behind him, "Dad, don't run, I can't run......"

Tao Qian's body shook and came back to his senses.

Looking at the vast sea of people, he sighed silently and turned around and walked towards Tao Yao.

"Go back, unexpectedly." His voice was the same as usual, but the hand holding his belt was so hard.

Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but say, "Dad, who gave you the belt?" ”

Tao Qian's eyebrows were slightly gloomy, and he shook his head, "I don't know ...... either."

Tao Yao glanced at the belt he was holding in his hand, and sighed in his heart, he was so out of shape, obviously the person who gave the belt was not an ordinary person.

When he arrived at the front of the mansion, Tao Qian felt a little sorry when he saw that the Nie Dong family and the Tao family were waiting there.

"It's okay, let's all go in."

Nie Dongjia glanced at him with some concern, but didn't say anything.

Because of this episode, Tao Qian's mood became depressed, and he couldn't give up when he talked to everyone.

The birthday banquet is scheduled in the evening.

When Lu Jiuyuan came, it was already dark.

When Tao Yao heard the report of his subordinates, he was a little surprised.

It wasn't until Lu Jiuyuan sat down beside her that she came back to her senses and whispered, "Why are you here?" ”

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her, as if he wanted to say something, but finally said, "Father-in-law's birthday, how can I not come?" ”

Tao Yao paused, feeling that he seemed to be a little unhappy, was it because she didn't invite him to come with him?

Thinking of this, she explained in a whisper, "I thought you weren't available......"

Lu Jiuyuan paused and sighed in a low voice, "I can squeeze out time." ”

When Tao Yao heard this, he was stunned, "I know, I will wait for you next time." ”

The corners of Lu Jiuyuan's lips hooked.

Tao Qian doesn't like to be lively, so on today's birthday, there was no banquet, just a simple meal for a large family to sit together.

However, at the beginning of the banquet, Tao Qian pulled Lu Jiuyuan and drank wine.

Tao Yao knew the amount of wine he poured in one glass, and motioned to Lu Jiuyuan not to drink with him.

"You girl, I heard everything you said, and you actually asked Jiuyuan not to drink with me, you are so naughty!

Today is my birthday, and I have the final say. Come, Jiuyuan, let's drink! Tao Qian picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Lu Jiuyuan personally.

Lu Jiuyuan saw that Tao Yao was worried, and comforted: "Have a drink, it should be fine." ”

Tao Yao: "......"

The problem is that her father can pour a cup.
