Chapter 212
Seeing the old man came out, many people gathered there.

"May the old man be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan!"

"The old man's body still looks so tough!"

"May grandpa live a long life and everything goes well."

"The boy from the Mei family congratulates the old man on his birthday, and wishes his grandfather to smile and enjoy the family forever."

The old man was wearing a robe printed with red flowers, his face was full of joy, and he looked even more energetic. The ebony crutch he usually never left was not in his hand at this time, but was held curiously by a super invincible and cute little girl beside him. Playing with his hands, the old man caressed the back of the baby's head kindly, and beside him was Su Ran who carefully supported the old man.While walking, he smiled and greeted people on the side of the road.

There are not many teeth left in the old man's mouth, but his smile makes everyone feel like a spring breeze, and they feel warm in their hearts.This may be the unique charm that people can show when they get older.

The old man stopped at a stone table by the creek. A middle-aged man next to him quickly wiped the stone bench and spread a cushion on it. Su Ran helped the old man to sit down.

By this time, most of the people in the backyard had already gathered.

"Come on, give me a hug from grandpa."

With a loving face, the old man hugged Yiyi in his arms with some difficulty.

The little guy nestled in his grandfather's arms, and she didn't know where the ebony crutch in his hand was thrown. He was blinking his big eyes and counting his grandfather's white beard curiously.

"Haha, look at you, look at me, my naughty little heart."

Seeing Yiyi's strange appearance, the old man smiled happily at the people around him, his face was full of happiness.

"Yiyi is not like her mother, but she is very similar to that girl Su Ling." Su Ran squatted aside and said with a smile.It can be seen that Su Ran respects and loves the old man very much.

"Yeah, yes, her personality is a bit like that crazy girl Su Ling." The old man said with a smile.

"Grandpa! Who is crazy!"

Su Ling pouted dissatisfiedly and walked forward, pulling the corner of Grandpa's clothes to act cute.

"Okay, grandpa is wrong, grandpa is wrong, my little Linger is also good, and he is grandpa's heart." The old man's face was full of kindness, and seeing Su Ling pouted aggrievedly, the old man felt distressed all of a sudden.

"Hey, I knew Grandpa was the best."

Dangling the old man's arm, Su Ling even kissed her grandpa playfully. It can be seen that the girl Su Ling usually has a very good relationship with her grandpa.

After a while, almost all the people gathered.

"Everyone be quiet for a moment, and listen to me." At this time, a middle-aged man who had been behind the old man spoke, pressed his hands, and said, "Today is my father's [-]th birthday, and everyone can do me a favor. My Lan family It can be said to be full of splendor, and I, Lan Xiu, thank you all for your kindness." Said, Lan Xiu cupped his hands and bowed to everyone around him.

"Brother Xiu, you are flattering us."

"To be able to participate in the old man's [-]th birthday is our three lives' luck."

"Uncle Lan is indeed the current head of the Lan family. This kind of demeanor is really rare for others."

Everyone also thought that Lan Xiu was flattering, but how many people could do this kind of flattery?Which one of those rich and powerful families didn't have their nostrils turned upside down?There are not many like Lanxiu.

"Hehe, everyone must know that my father is obsessed with my traditional Chinese culture." Lan Xiu said again: "We juniors thought about it and wanted to give the old man a surprise, so today we specially arranged a song The elegant feast of "Water Flowing Cup."

Everyone was stunned.

Curved water?

What do you mean?
Lan Xiu smiled and said: "A few days ago, the second boy of my third sister-in-law's family got a precious ancient book from somewhere, and gave it to the old man as a birthday gift in advance. The old man really likes it. But Well, this ancient book is too old, and the pages are brittle, making it difficult to read. So today, we specially invited many masters in the calligraphy field. A set of the Four Treasures of the Study. Of course, the one who won the first place, please help me to transcribe that ancient book."

After Lan Xiu finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized.No wonder so many people from the cultural circles were invited today, so it was for this purpose.

The so-called "Qushui Liushang" is just a formality. To put it bluntly, I want to find the best calligrapher and transcribe that ancient book.

"Grandpa, grandson didn't prepare any gifts this year, but grandson specially went to Sichuan to invite a master of calligraphy, Master Song Qingxuan."

As soon as Lan Xiu finished speaking, Lan Hai stood out from the crowd, accompanied by a gentle old gentleman.

"Master Song Qingxuan? I've heard of this person. I heard that he is a well-known master in the contemporary calligraphy world. It seems that the year before last, a piece of calligraphy was sold for a sky-high price."

"That's right, that's right, I've also heard about this master, and his status in the calligraphy world is not low."

While everyone was discussing, another kid stood up over there.

"Grandpa, grandson didn't prepare a gift this year, but beside me is the president of our Imperial Calligraphers Association, old Mr. Jia Mingjia, who came to our house last time, and you guys have seen him before."

The one who spoke was Lan Hai's elder brother named Lan Tian, ​​both of them were the sons of Lan Xiu's younger brother Rand.

"Grandpa, the person next to me is a well-known calligrapher and the dean of the Chinese Department of Peking University..."

"Grandpa, this master not only has a very high attainment in couplets, but also calligraphy..."

……

Several juniors of the Lan family said that they did not prepare gifts, but they all invited masters in the calligraphy world, and some invited several.Obviously, it was prepared long ago, just to please the old man.However, among the calligraphers they invited, Ye found out that he knew a few of them.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that the facts have proved that this group of juniors from the Lan family have successfully made the old man very happy.

Although there are no gifts, but the old man lacks them?It is the best gift to invite these celebrities in the calligraphy world!The old man loves traditional Chinese culture the most in his life, especially calligraphy!
Su Li, Su Qi and the others were dumbfounded!

Really, everyone has a look of bewilderment!

Nima, what's the matter?
Calligrapher?
No one told us the hell!

Seeing the presents they had prepared, Su Li and the others wanted to cry!

What kind of rare treasures, what kind of gold, silver and satin, how did you give it away?

Compared with the Lan family and the others, isn't my nima too vulgar?

It's simply unbearable!

on purpose!
They definitely did it on purpose!

Otherwise, why didn't any of my brothers and sisters get the news in advance?

The same goes for Dad, he doesn't care about anything, he must have known in advance, but he just didn't bother to say, this is good, our family will be ashamed!

They are all from the grandchildren's generation, and the group of grandsons surnamed Lan have tried their best to invite a master of calligraphy for their grandfather, but no one on our side has prepared it. What is this like?What would grandpa think?What will outsiders think?
Su Li's face was expressionless, Su Qi's face was a little ugly, and Su Ke, who was always smiling, had a gloomy face at this moment.

They knew that they were set up by their uncle!
In fact, theoretically speaking, they are grandchildren, and they are not the same as Lan Hai's grandchildren.However, Su Ran has always regarded the old man as his own father, Su Li and the others have always called the old man grandpa, and outsiders also know that the old man treats the children of the Su family almost the same as his own grandson.

At this time, Lan Xiu said again: "I think this group of children are quite caring, so why not? A few days ago, didn't the younger sister say that she wanted to pick a boy from home to go to the company to exercise? This is a good opportunity, but Haven't you been hesitating between Su Ke and Lan Tian? It happens that the stream is divided into two banks. Why don't you take advantage of today's opportunity and let them each lead a team, and these juniors will volunteer to stand in the team. Whichever team wins, we will let them How about going?"

"The method that big brother said is indeed good. You invite the people yourself, and you maintain the normal relationship yourself. It also reflects your ability to know people and communicate. It can kill two birds with one stone." Rand next to him also said added with a smile.

Now, Su Qi and his brothers exploded immediately!
How did he get involved in this matter?

Through this competition to select people?

What a mess!

It wasn't until this time that they understood what their two uncles meant!
It turned out to be waiting for them here!
A few days ago, Aunt Lan said that if there is a project in the group, she needs to find a general manager. Aunt Lan must choose among the children of the Su family. Su Li is already working in the group, and Su Qi is obsessed with her own game company. If neither of them went, Su Ke must have gone.I don't know how Lan Xiu and the others knew the news, so they had to pester Lan Ruo to let Lan Tian try.Lan Ruo definitely disagrees. I didn't expect Lan Xiu to bring this matter up in front of so many people today.

Now, in front of the old man and so many guests, even if Lan Ruo wanted to disagree, it would be difficult.

"Little sister, what do you think?" Lan Xiu asked with a smile.

"It's good." Lan Ruo said helplessly, this is her own brother, and she doesn't want to disrespect him too much.

"Okay." Lan Xiu smiled at Su Li and the others again, "Third, Sixth, and Seventh, are you ready?"

The three people were called out by name, and they stood up with red faces, bowed their heads, and couldn't say a word.

What are you talking about?
Say you're not ready?

If they really dare to say that, their uncle will never let go of the opportunity to scold them to death!

However, when the three of them were in great distress, Su Ning, the daughter of Su's parents, stood up.

"Uncle, don't worry, since grandpa likes the ancient book that Xiaoer sent so much, we brothers and sisters will not let grandpa down." Su Ning's words were neither humble nor overbearing, without losing her demeanor, and seemed to respect her elders , and also mentioned by the way that the ancient book was given by my second child.It can be said that there are words in the words.

Lan Xiu frowned, and looked at Su Ning in surprise, "Which famous calligrapher did Ning'er invite?"

"Ye Feng!"

Su Ning spat out these two words lightly.

And Mr. Ye has already left here at this time, he is busy chasing and beating Fatty to death, this bastard just snatched a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from him, this is so mad at Mrs Ye, he must be beaten up!And in his opinion, it would be good if Su Ning was there to celebrate birthdays, not to mention that there are so many grandchildren, there is no shortage of his grandson-in-law!It is more important to beat this fat man up. One of the two ran desperately, and the other chased desperately behind. By this time, they had long since disappeared.
