Four days later, in the Lin Mansion of Hongqing City, Mo Xuelian got up early, and then had breakfast with her mother Hongru, and when she was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Hongru looked at Mo Xuelian.

"Today is the birthday of the ancestor of the Lin family, if you have nothing to do, don't go out of the courtyard today, there are too many guests, so as not to say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing. ”

"Got it, Mother, don't worry, I won't be out of the yard today. Mo Xuelian nodded obediently, and Hongru smiled with satisfaction after hearing this.

Today, because there are more people who come to congratulate the ancestors of the Lin family on their birthdays, Master Lin and Mrs. Lin have asked Steward Li to arrange for the people who came to congratulate him on his birthday to enter the Lin Mansion in batches, and the other four major families and the official eunuchs of other cities in addition to the Lin family are arranged to enter the Lin Mansion in the same batch.

At this time, at the gate of the Lin Mansion, I saw a huge crowd of people waiting in line to enter the Lin Mansion, and there were many people around who were watching, and people were still talking in private, most of them were talking about the birthday of the Lin Mansion.

At this time, I saw the doorman take the greeting post in the hand of the person, and then shouted: "Linhai Hong's house has arrived." ”

A total of three people came to the Hong family, Master Hong, Mrs. Hong and Hong Tianshou, they waited for the doorman to shout and walked into the gate of the Lin Mansion together, and then, when they entered the courtyard, they came to Steward Li and several servants, one of the servants shouted after receiving the birthday gift of the Hong family: "A pair of Hong family jade Ruyi, a pair of good jade bracelets." “

Then, another servant sitting at the table recorded it in the gift list register, and Steward Li checked it to see if there was any mistake on the side, and then the other servants led him into the main hall of the Lin Mansion, and at this time, only the shouts of the guards and servants were heard endlessly:

"Hong Qingkang's family has arrived," "A pair of night pearls in the Kang family, and a pair of good wishful pillows." ”

"Changyuan Zhang's family arrives," "Zhang's silk brocade is a hundred horses, and a pair of good jade pixiu." ”

The doorman and the servant kept shouting, and at this time, Qiu Yu, Master Qiu, and Mrs. Qiu walked into the gate of the Lin Mansion, only to hear the doorman shouting, "Hongqing Qiu's family has arrived," "The Qiu family has a 10,000-year-old bronze tripod, and a pair of good jade bottles." ”

Then, after they had the servant who recorded the birthday gift registered, another servant led Master Qiu's family to the central hall.

As soon as they entered the middle hall, they saw the ancestor of the Lin family sitting in the middle, wearing a red brocade robe, wearing a longevity hat, holding a green vine cane, a family birthday star, sitting with Master Lin and Mrs. Lin in his hands, and Lin Hongwan respectfully standing beside Mrs. Lin with the posture of a little daughter's family.

After Master Qiu entered the middle hall, he immediately greeted him with a smile and stepped forward, clasping his fists with both hands and bowing his head slightly.

"The ancestors of the Jilin family are as blessed as the East China Sea, and their longevity is better than that of Nanshan. ”

The ancestor of the Lin family smiled after hearing this, "Master Qiu and Mrs. Qiu are polite." ”

Master Lin also stepped forward and helped him, "Master Qiu, Mrs. Qiu, please take a seat." ”

So, Master Qiu and Mrs. Qiu sat on the chair, at this time, Lin Hongwan's face was crimson and stunned, her eyes looked at Qiu Yu without blinking, she saw that Qiu Yu was handsome, her body was straight, and the jade tree was in the wind.

At this time, Master Qiu pointed at Qiu Yu, "This is the child Qiu Yu, don't see it soon." ”

After hearing this, Qiu Yu immediately stepped forward and clenched his fists with both hands, "In Xia Qiu Yu, I have seen the ancestor of the Lin family, Master Lin and Mrs. Lin. Then his eyes looked at Lin Hongwan, "Miss Lin." ”

Lin Hongwan was immediately reflected by his look, she stepped forward and squatted down slightly, and her face was slightly red, "Young Master Qiu." ”

At this time, Master Qiu and Mrs. Qiu looked at Lin Hongwan's state and looked at the two of them with satisfaction, and Master Lin and Mrs. Lin also smiled with satisfaction.

At this time, several people in the hall heard the shouting again, "Hong Qing Han's family has arrived, Hong Qing Chen's family has arrived, Hong Qing's Sun family has arrived." ”

"A Han family longevity jade lotus pot, a Guanyin colorful bottle. ”

"A pair of Chen Jiapan peach longevity pictures, a pair of eight immortal longevity bowls. ”

"A volume of the Sun family's golden book and a lotus sutra, a pair of longevity dragon and phoenix plates. “

Then, inside the gate of the Lin Mansion, Han Bo's Han family, Chen Hongsheng's Chen family, and Sun Yueling's Sun family were led by servants to the main hall of the Lin Mansion.

"The ancestors of the Jilin family are as blessed as the East China Sea, and their longevity is better than that of Nanshan. ”

"The ancestors of the Jilin family are as blessed as the East China Sea, and their longevity is better than that of Nanshan. ”

"The ancestors of the Jilin family are as blessed as the East China Sea, and their longevity is better than that of Nanshan. ”

Master Han, Master Chen, and Master Sun bowed in unison and said.

The old ancestor of the Lin family smiled kindly, "Everyone is polite, please sit down." ”

Several of them greeted the ancestors of the Lin family one after another, and then they all sat on the chairs in the atrium and drank tea.

At this time, Lin Hongwan also took the birthday gift in her hand and walked to the middle of the hall, "My granddaughter wishes my grandmother happiness like the East China Sea, and her longevity is better than Nanshan." Then, she handed the birthday gift to the hands of the ancestor of the Lin family, and the ancestor of the Lin family looked at the birthday gift, which was a very delicate and beautiful double-sided fan with the word longevity.

After seeing the birthday ceremony, the ancestor of the Lin family said to Lin Hongwan with a smile: "Hongwan has filial piety, and grandmother likes it very much." After hearing this, Lin Hongwan happily retreated to Mrs. Lin's side.

At this time, there was a joyful atmosphere in the main hall, everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time and was talking and laughing, Sun Yueling, Chen Hongsheng and Han Bo were standing together, several people were talking in low voices, and the elders were also greeting.

Qiu Yu saw that he hadn't seen Mo Xuelian all along, so he secretly left the middle hall to find Mo Xuelian while no one was paying attention to him now.

After Qiu Yu secretly left the middle hall, he didn't know which direction to look for, so he chose a random direction to look for.

Every time he walked to a courtyard, he pretended to be okay and wandered around, found that there was no Mo Xuelian, and then went out to the next place to look for it.

He just searched for a few hours, but the Lin Mansion was really too big, and he never found it, he was afraid that if he continued to look for it for too long, his father and mother should be looking for him, and he was speechless at that time.

So, there was no way, he just walked to a courtyard and stopped, and he didn't plan to continue looking, so he turned around and left and went back in the direction of the central hall.

Just after he left, in the courtyard where he stopped and didn't look, Mo Xuelian was playing in the courtyard with her little pet Snow Qilin.

Her mother, Hongru, also went to help out because of the Lin family's ancestor's birthday, so she and her pet Snow Qilin were left in the yard.

Therefore, she played with the snow unicorn in the yard without any scruples, and saw that in the yard, one person and one pet were chasing each other, and while running, the snow unicorn was still looking at Mo Xuelian.

"What's the matter, this immortal thing is all in your hands, and you can't catch up with this immortal thing. ”

"Hmph, you're still proud, aren't you, be careful that I won't get you anything delicious in the future, see if you're still beautiful. ”

Mo Xuelian's face turned pale and shouted angrily by the snow qilin.

"I know you won't, haha, today the ancestor of the Lin family has a big birthday, but there is a birthday banquet, there must be a lot of delicious things, I am going to drool when I think about it." Xue Qilin's face changed when he heard this.

"You still want to eat the birthday banquet, it depends on whether there is any leftover for you to eat after the guests leave, don't you think too beautifully, what if you eat all of them and there is nothing left?"

At this time, Xue Qilin suddenly stopped running, "If that's the case, then it's miserable, why don't we go and eat something secretly before the banquet starts?"

"That's not good, I promised my mother, I won't go out of the yard today, what if I go to steal food and cause an accident, no, I can't go. Mo Xuelian refused.

"Well, after the guests are gone, we'll sneak into the kitchen to eat as usual. ”

"Only at night. Mo Xuelian nodded.

Xue Qilin was very helpless, but it had no choice but to obey Mo Xuelian.

At this time, Qiu Yu didn't find Mo Xuelian and went all the way back to the central hall, and when he entered the middle hall, he saw that his father and mother were still in the middle hall and chatting with other guests who came to celebrate his birthday, so he was relieved and knew that they hadn't noticed him.

At this time, there were more and more guests in the Lin Mansion, and the atrium was crowded with people, even the courtyard of the Lin Mansion was full of people, and everyone was greeting each other, talking and laughing.

Then, Qiu Yu walked between Han Bo and Chen Hongsheng and talked to them, and it was time for the birthday banquet to be held.

So, they saw that the servants of the Lin Mansion had set up a hundred and ten tables of banquets in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion, each table was covered with a big red tablecloth, and then, the maids served one dish at a time, and when the banquet was set, they heard Master Lin shouting: "The banquet is open, everyone please serve the table." ”

Subsequently, the ancestors of the Lin family, Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin were at the same table with the elders of the five major families, and the juniors of the five major families and other juniors who came to congratulate the birthday were at the same table, including Hong Tianshou.

The dishes on each table of the banquet are the same, and they look very luxurious, with a total of 10 dishes, such as fried wings with silver needles, chicken skin sturgeon, oolong elbow, stuffed fish maw with a hundred flowers, roasted pork, hibiscus cake, fresh fish soup, etc.

At the banquet, everyone pushed cups to help the lamp, everyone also walked around each table to toast each other, said some greeting words, the atmosphere was very lively, the banquet was about two hours later, everyone was full of wine and food, so they left one after another.

Although Qiu Yu was a little regretful that he didn't see Mo Xuelian this time, he did know a little about Mo Xuelian's situation in the Lin family, she was an insignificant person in the Lin family, otherwise, she would not have failed to appear at the birthday banquet of the ancestors of the Lin family.

He was also glad that he didn't come to her directly, otherwise it would have caused her too much trouble.

After Qiu Yu, Han Bo, Chen Hongsheng and their parents left the Lin Mansion, the next batch of people walked into the Lin Mansion to celebrate their birthdays, and in this way, the birthday banquet of the ancestors of the Lin family was over for three days.

And Mo Xuelian has been honestly staying in her yard during the day every day, and in the middle of the night every night, she will sneak into the kitchen with her pet Snow Qilin to let Snow Qilin eat a lot, and Xue Qilin has eaten very satisfied every day for the past three days, and her belly is bulging.

Mo Xuelian saw that the little thing seemed to have gained weight in the past three days, but it always seemed that she still hadn't eaten enough, and she shook her head and felt helpless, feeling that she had really raised a rice bucket.

Lin Hongwan has never forgotten Qiu Yu since she saw him on the day of the birthday banquet, and she has thought of Qiu Yu every day for the past three days, thinking about herself and smirking, and she is determined to get Qiu Yu.

The result of this is that Qiu Yu is like a seed planted in her heart, and this seed will slowly take root and sprout sooner or later, and it will never be erased.

After the birthday banquet of the ancestor of the Lin family was over, Qiu Yu asked the servants around him, Xiangzi, to send the two servants back to the Lin Mansion and continue to stare at the Lin Mansion and Mo Xuelian.
