Chapter 57 The Banquet Begins

I don’t know how long I walked without knowing how long I was swaying.

The sedan finally stopped.

Someone moved a little slower, and before they had time to open the sedan curtain, they heard a series of exclamations.

This caused everyone to speed up their actions.

Everyone looked up and saw that they seemed to be in the garden of the Hou Mansion.

There is a white mist floating around the garden, as if it is surrounded by fairy spirit, and it seems that you are in a fairyland.Hundreds of flowers bloom in the fairyland, and it is really a beautiful scenery.

The old lady of the Hou Mansion sat alone and looked at everyone with a smile.

Obviously very satisfied with the banquet environment.

Rows of maids and maids came over and led everyone to sit down.

Some people looked at this foggy garden and did not dare to lift their feet, for fear of straying into the fairyland and disturbing the gods.

"Am I in a dream?"

A lady said this in a daze.

Others nodded in agreement.

Xie Lingyu explained that these are thin cloud brocades, soft and translucent, floating in the air, like fairy aura.

A lady who was familiar with Mrs. Xie couldn't help but praise: "Your daughter is really good."

Who would have thought of using Mianyun Brocade for this purpose.

Mianyun brocade is worth a hundred gold per foot, who would be willing to give it up?
Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, the old lady felt very satisfied in her heart. Although she had been fasting and chanting Buddha's name for a long time, she still cared about these worldly honors and disgrace.

Still have fun.

Otherwise, he would not have come to the door in person and forcefully asked Xie Lingyu to marry Xu Yinghuai.

Fortunately, this power was given to Xie Lingyu at that time. The old lady did not dare to think how boring it would be if the Song family came to host this banquet.

How could there be such a scene?

People who have good relations with the Hou family and the Xie family have already sat down happily.

This time Xie Lingyu did not dare to let Qi Yanli sit with the He family, but arranged a seat for him.

Miss Liu and He Lanxue were gritting their teeth and feeling very dissatisfied. They just had some money, so what could they say?

What's there to be proud of in a fake wonderland?
Miss Liu's mother was holding her down, so even if she had something on her mind, she didn't dare to say anything and just sat down silently with her mother.

He Lanxue said angrily: "I didn't expect that the Hou Mansion would be so extravagant now, and they would use this cloud brocade to make such useless embellishments. They really have a rich family!"

Song was not angry in her heart.

Xie Lingyu is so rich, why do you still want to recover the dowry from her?It seems now that what she got at that time was not even [-]% possible.

Taking money is not doing the right thing.

Xie Lingyu had a smile on her face and was elegant.

"What are you talking about, Miss Helan? To celebrate the birthday of my grandmother, the old lady, I naturally need to use the best. Isn't it possible that the Helan family treats the old lady like this?"

He Lanxue was choked for a moment, not knowing what to say.

It's not right to say that he is, after all, he just mocked Xie Lingyu, but to say that is not the case is even more disrespectful to his ancestors.

He Lanhao couldn't see it and directly pulled He Lanxue to sit down.

He Lanxue just pretended that she didn't hear Xie Lingyu's question and didn't answer it.

He Lanhao turned his head and lowered his voice to warn He Lanxue.

"Please restrain yourself and don't cause trouble again. How many times have you been tricked by Xie Lingyu to the point of being unable to get off the stage? We are not just here to celebrate birthdays. You must remember your mission!"

After receiving the warning, He Lanxue did restrain himself a lot.

After that, the whole scene was spent not fighting against Xie Lingyu, but silently giving Qi Yanli, who was diagonally opposite, a wink.

Xu Yinghuai took Xu Jiaxu and Xie Lingyu to sit together.

Xu Jiaqi and Xu Muhuan were sitting in the main room.

Xie Ning also arrived late.

She looked around, and when she saw some people, she paused and walked in the direction of Xie's house.

Father Xu frowned when he saw Xie Ning appear, while Mrs. Xie nodded to Xie Ning and motioned for her to sit down, with a gentle and polite attitude.The Xie brothers frowned at the same time.

The eldest brother is okay, after all, he is much calmer and doesn't show too much emotion outside.

The younger brother had no scruples and moved directly to the side, as if Xie Ning was some dirty thing and didn't want to have too much contact with her.

He didn't recognize this third sister at all.

If Ajie hadn't protected Xie Ning in every way, he wouldn't have even looked at Xie Ning.

The dishes were also brought out slowly.

Plate after plate, course after course, exquisite and delicious delicacies full of birthday congratulations.

Watching people move their index fingers.

The size of the banquet was just in line with the old lady's status. It was not overly luxurious and would not cause any confusion.

But now it seems like I am sitting in a fairyland, the wine I drank seems to have turned into nectar, and the longevity peaches on the table are like peaches from the sky. The gods in the sky should also eat these.

In the fantasy, everyone thinks that they have become gods.

Someone suddenly called the old lady "Old God", which made everyone raise their hands and follow suit.

The old lady enjoyed her meal happily.

The old lady was old and couldn't eat much. She tasted a few bites of various kinds and was satisfied.

She then thought about opening birthday gifts.

The guests' birthday gifts will naturally not be opened in public.

What you want to see are the gifts from your children and grandchildren.

First, the Song family presented the string of Buddhist beads.

"Old madam, my daughter-in-law specially asked Master Yixin to consecrate this string of Buddhist beads."

The old lady smiled and nodded, without saying anything, and asked Grandma Zhang to put it away first.

The old lady was still holding her own prayer beads in her hand.

She has had this string for nearly ten years, how could she change it easily.

Then came Xu Yinghuai, who took out a picture of a flat peach with longevity and longevity.

He was detained in the ancestral hall. He did not prepare this picture by himself, but Mrs. Hou prepared it for him.

Mrs. Hou thought about it that day. The favor of the old lady who was outstanding to her was important, but Huai'er was the most important.

There were so many officials and adults at the birthday banquet. If Xu Yinghuai could be appreciated by them, his future would be much easier.

She prepared everything as Sang Ye said and sent it to Xu Yinghuai.

The picture is quite satisfactory, and the old lady's expression is also calm.

She had collected this picture five years ago, and it is still at the bottom of the box. It has never been hung up. It is not an authentic work, so there is nothing to appreciate.

Xu Yinghuai suddenly said, "Grandma, my grandson drew this specially for you these days. My grandson also wrote a poem for you."

Painted by hand?

That meaning is different.

The old lady had a smile on her face and said, "Send it over for a look."

After looking at it carefully for a while, she nodded with satisfaction, "Huai'er's painting skills are extraordinary and skillful! Take it down and show it to all the adults. Please read out any poem you have written in front of everyone. All the adults here have poetry books. I can also give you some guidance.”

Xu Yinghuai stood with his hands behind his back, head raised and chest raised, showing great confidence.

"The ancient Xihua birthday celebrates the Double Ninth Festival,
Picking the Oriental chrysanthemum is fragrant.

I want to see the guests at Juxing Hall,
The longevity wine glasses are filled with the fragrance of autumn. 【1】"

As soon as the voice fell, applause broke out.

"What a poem!" Father He applauded most happily.

Everyone praised him one after another. Xu Yinghuai wanted to calm down and suppress the smile on his lips, but he couldn't suppress it.

The old lady's expression was not as good as the others, she was particularly ordinary, even a little cold.
