Qing Chuan's favorite concubine side Fujin

Chapter 14 Mafa celebrates her birthday
In one month, it will be Mafa's sixtieth birthday, and all the juniors in the Gualjia family are carefully preparing birthday gifts.

Purple Cloud Pavilion.

Ruixiang, Yixiang, Jingxiang and Wanyuan sat on the chairs together, holding their chins and looking at the various gifts placed on the table.

Jing Xiang stroked the luminous pearl in front of him and said, "I think this luminous pearl is very good. I took it as a gift."

"My gift is a pair of famous calligraphy and paintings. Mafa usually likes to collect these." Ruixiang also showed his gift and said.

"The eldest brother will give you calligraphy and painting, and the third brother will give you the luminous pearl. Then I will give you high-quality graphite as a gift to Mafa." Yi Xiang pointed to the gift and said.

The three brothers all showed the gifts they had prepared, but Wanyuan was the only one who did not reveal her gift at the moment.

"Yuanyuan, our gifts are all here, what about yours?"

"I got a horse with blood not long ago. Ma Fa will probably like it very much." Wan Yuan looked at her elder brother and said.

"Sweat-blooded BMW, Yuanyuan, how did you get it? Get one for my second brother. My second brother also likes BMWs!" Yi Xiang said with a smile.

"I got this bloody horse by chance. If you want it, second brother, my sister will find a way."

"Then thank my sister first." Yi Xiang made a gesture and said to his sister.

"By the way, third brother, I think you can add another gift to Mafa."

Jing Xiang thought for a moment and asked, "Yuanyuan, you mean to tell Mafa about the greenhouse!"

Wanyuan nodded and said: "Sooner or later, I have to tell Mafa and Ama, so why not take this opportunity to hand it over to Mafa. When the time comes, this gift will definitely be given in the name of the Gualjia family. Your Majesty Ming!"

"Wait, what are you talking about? What gift are you going to hand over to the emperor?"

Ruixiang and Yixiang didn't know what Jingxiang and Wanyuan were doing at Zhuangzi, so Jingxiang told them everything.

Ruixiang and Yixiang were both surprised when they found out, "Jingxiang Wanyuan, although it is good for the Guarjia family to do this, once you report it to the emperor, our Guarjia family will cause trouble in the court." The attention from above and below has both advantages and disadvantages!”

"Brother, don't worry. Mafa and Amma know the pros and cons of this matter. Besides, our Guarjia family has the strength and ability!"

Wanyuan's words sounded domineering, but they were also true. The Gualjia family was powerful!
After skipping this topic, everyone returned to the gift matter. Wanyuan gave some suggestions to the eldest brother and the second brother. The eldest brother brought out a set of fine tea sets, and the second brother added a box of jade.Of course, Wan Yuan took out all these things from the space and prepared them for her eldest and second brothers.

After the brothers and sisters discussed it, they left and returned to their own yards.

A few days later, the Gualjia family began to prepare birthday celebrations in advance.In order to hone Wan Yuan's ability to do things, Tong Jia left many important things at hand to Wan Yuan herself.

From the moment Wanyuan accepted the task, Wanyuan was extremely busy in the following days. Except for eating and resting, she was busy most of the time.

The personal connections of this large family are intricately intertwined. On the surface, families that appear to be unrelated are actually closely connected.After the list came out, each of the eight major families had close ties with the Gualjia family.

No wonder the big families in Manchuria are so prosperous. They all intermarry with each other, not to mention the accumulated network of contacts.

In addition to the aristocratic families, there is also the royal family.When the old man was young, he joined the army and made great contributions. Later, he took his eldest son and led troops to quell the rebellion of the Three Feudatories. Therefore, Kangxi regarded the old man very highly.This is why the Tong family will marry their youngest daughter to the second young master of the Guarjia family, who are Wanyuan's biological parents.On the one hand, they are interested in the Guarjia family's foundation and strength, and on the other hand, the marriage between the two big families is beneficial to both.

This time for the old man's [-]th birthday, most of the royal family members will come forward to express their gratitude. Even if no one comes, gifts must be given.

Wanyuan followed Tong Jia and her eldest aunt and third aunt, starting from the banquet layout and checking them one by one. She indeed learned a lot from it.

On the eighth day of August, the [-]th birthday party of the old man of the Gualjia family was officially held.

The family will have breakfast in advance to fill their stomachs and prepare for the day's banquet.

Everyone gathered in the courtyard of the old man and the old lady. After serving breakfast to the two old men, the time came and everyone moved to the front hall to prepare for the arrival of the guests.

In the front hall of Gualjia's house, the old man and his wife were sitting above, and their son and daughter-in-law were entertaining the guests.

"The layout of this yard is really nice, it looks festive."

"This food is not bad, you can try it and see."

The guests who arrived early were either talking about the banquet arrangements or tasting the food.The ladies who were close to the old lady were all talking about twins. Because of this, Wanyuan and Jingxiang stayed by Mama Ma's side, entertaining guests with her.

At this time, the housekeeper came in and said, "Master, madam, the time has come. It's time to start celebrating your birthday."

"Okay, let's get started!"

First, the fathers congratulated the old man and his wife on their birthdays, and the three brothers each gave their own birthday gifts to Amma and E Niang.

Next came the grandchildren, sorted by age, giving birthday gifts in turn.

The birthday gifts of the grandchildren are more favored by the old man than those of the parents. They include blood-stained horses, famous calligraphy and paintings, fine tea sets, and rare treasures.The most precious birthday gift among them is Jing Xiang's gift.

After seeing it, the old man and Zhuo Hong did not reveal too much about the birthday gift in front of others, but only praised Jing Xiang and Wanyuan more.

After the family members celebrated their birthdays, the men and women took their seats at the table. The banquet ended in the evening. Today it can be said that the guests and the host enjoyed themselves.

The guests have all left, and the people in the first and third bedrooms have also returned to their rooms early. Only the people in the second bedroom are still staying in the front hall with the old man and his wife.

At this time the butler came in and handed over two valuable gifts, one from the imperial concubine and the other from Sibeile.

After opening the gifts, all I saw were treasures.Zhui Hong looked at the old man, waiting for him to speak.

The old man took a sip of tea and said: "Since I have sent you a birthday gift, then accept it. Zhuihong, you two, take these two birthday gifts and keep them for yourselves!"

"Yes." Zhui Hong and Tong Jiashi looked at the birthday gift handed over by the butler and accepted it first.

But the meaning of these two gifts was clear to everyone present.
