lying down

After Xu Shiji finished worshiping, the family members came forward one by one to celebrate his birthday and salute, followed by some sons of officials and gentry, it was so lively!

After everyone finished praying, Ouyang Yu got up and walked in front of the old lady, saluted respectfully, and praised: "May the old birthday star always smile and have a hundred sons and grandchildren, every year there will be today, every year there will be today! "

"Hey~~, vulgar" Before he finished speaking, the famous Jiangnan scholar over there was muttering in a low voice. At this time, everyone was paying their respects to the birthday, and when the hall was quiet, the famous scholar Tian Feng lowered his voice, but everyone After listening, some people nodded in agreement, while others shook their heads in silence.

When the old lady saw that it was Ouyang Yu who had saved herself and her grandson, she was very happy for a long time, and ignored Tian Feng, and said: "Young brother is so sweet, I really want to be with you every year." Today! I am more willing to have hundreds of sons and grandchildren to carry forward this Xu family! Hehe, well said! I need to have a few more glasses of wine later, so it will be lively!" After finishing speaking, he took a red envelope and handed it to Ouyang Yu .

At this time, the atmosphere became warmer, and everyone was sympathetic, except for one or two people who knew the inside story, everyone else was surprised that the majestic mother of the governor treated this rough-spoken kid in cold clothes so courteously.

Ouyang Yu thought to himself: "Is Tian Feng, a well-known scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, sick? I didn't mess with you, so why pick on me?"

While everyone was thinking about it, Ouyang Yu took a deep breath, thanked the old lady for her compliment, and said: "The boy also prepared a gift for the old birthday boy, but the time is limited and the workmanship is vulgar, I hope the old birthday boy likes it."

"Oh?! My little brother actually gave you a gift? Come and have a look, there is nothing vulgar or cheap, just careless, I have already received my little brother's wishes!" The old lady was very curious when she heard that Ouyang Yu had given her a gift. , hurriedly asked someone to fetch it.

Ouyang Yu pointed to the outside of the hall, and said embarrassingly: "Here, old birthday star, the gift is too big and it's not easy to move in, so it's parked outside the hall. Look, can you take a look?"

The old lady waved her hand in a haha: "It's okay, it's okay, let's go, let's take a look with the old man!"

When everyone came to the outside of the hall, the guests who were sitting outside the hall also gathered around, in order to see what this huge gift was all about.

Ouyang Yu asked the two servants to give some instructions, and when they attracted everyone's attention, they removed the red silk from the huge thing together, and a dozen or so wooden toys of different sizes were displayed in front of everyone.

These toys include short slides and swivel chairs, all of which are painted with lifelike and cute animal patterns, as well as some enlarged versions of cats and dogs, wooden horses and fruits, all carved as if they were alive, and they are really cute.

"This, what is this?"

"How do I know, I've never seen it before."

"What's that painted on it, little animal?"

Everyone discussed in a low voice for a while, and stopped talking and looked at it in surprise.The scene suddenly cooled down.

Surrounded by the crowd, Wu Yuanshuang looked contemptuous, turned to Di Xue who was beside him and said softly, "At the next day, outside the city gate." Di Xue pretended not to hear, and continued to look at the novelty in this scene, but it was insignificant He nodded carefully.

The middle-aged man with the hooked nose showed his eyes, but he returned to his normal state in an instant, whispered a few words to the people who followed him, and continued to watch the excitement.

But the "big-eyed" brother showed a nervous and anxious look, as if he didn't like the things he made himself.

Ouyang Yu stood beside the toy, of course he didn't see these little movements.Just smile and don't worry.

"Ah! Acridine! Yes! Yes!" The Hu Hu hugged by the female relatives shouted in the silence, staring blankly at the brightly colored, novel and weird toys, and the two chubby little hands couldn't help but yell. It stopped waving in the air, and twisted and twisted to break free from the embrace, wanting to go down to the ground to play.

The female relatives squatted down, and the little tiger squeaked, staggered and ran, touching this, touching that, both excited and nervous, climbed up the short slide on tiptoe, just crawled and slid down down.

The old lady and the female relatives couldn't help being nervous, for fear that the baby bump would hurt and cry.Unexpectedly, he got up again, screaming and rushing towards another toy, his naive appearance made everyone laugh.

Ouyang Yu walked over to pick him up, put him in the swivel chair, pushed him and turned him slowly, Xiao Huhu laughed excitedly "haha".

At this time, many guests in the main hall of the front yard also brought their children, as young as two or three years old, and Dao Dao was five or six years old, which was a lively and active age.They held the adult's hand and kept pushing forward, waiting to stand in the front row, shaking the adult's hand, and signaling with pitiful eyes that they wanted to play too.

When the old lady saw it, she couldn't help being amused. Adults don't understand these toys, but these children like them very much. She turned around and smiled and said to everyone: "What are you doing with them? Let go, they are all children. Where are they?" There is a reason to let them watch but not to play, my Xu Manor doesn't have so many rules."

Then he nodded, and the children who had been let go over there rushed forward excitedly, looking for their favorite toys, laughing and joking.

This is long gone from the previous cold scene, a group of people are asking where to buy these novelty toys, and also want to buy a set for their children to play with, but they don't know that Ouyang Yu brought it from his previous life Where can I buy things?

The "big-eyed" brother saw the development of things to this point, he couldn't help being surprised, he didn't understand why these objects had such a great lethality.In fact, he also wanted to try, but he was too old to be laughed to death.

"It's just a trick, it's just a trick." Tian Feng, a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, muttered, as if this toy was a hundred thousand miles away from the realm of poetry and prose.

Xu Shijie supported the old lady, glanced at everyone, and said softly to his mother: "Mother, there is still a birthday banquet, let's go back?" In fact, Xu Shiji also saw the scene just now, seeing his son playing like crazy, he was also happy endlessly.

"Okay, okay, look at my memory, I only care about these little ancestors, let a few people watch the children, don't fall, let's go back to the table!" Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately called everyone to their respective seats. Seats go.

When the old lady returned to her seat, she said with a smile: "Brother Ouyang, this is a good gift! It suits my heart best, you have a heart!"

Ouyang Yu hurriedly got up from his seat to return the salute, saying he didn't dare.As soon as he sat down, the hook-nosed middle-aged man on the opposite side smiled with a dead face and said, "What a thought!"

After hearing this, Ouyang Yu didn't know whether it was a compliment or a derogation, so he just gave up.

Tian Feng, a celebrity at the side, saw that the old lady praised the toy so much, he was really ignorant. The "Hundred Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren Sending Birthday Peach" that he painstakingly drew, no matter how many people begged for it, the old lady put it aside and said nothing .He couldn't help saying angrily: "It's just a trick, it's hard to be elegant, after all, it's still a vulgar thing, it's hard to be praised by the old birthday star!"
