I am Feng Jun

Chapter 57 57. Why didn't I know there was this custom?

"Why, His Highness Qi came here for Shen Ci?"

Seeing Mu Yuanqi's eyes fall on Shen Ci, Bi Yan asked curiously.

"No."

Your Highness is here for the delicious food!
"Is there a banquet?"

Mu Yuanqi simply asked again.

"Uh, that person has almost arrived, let's start the banquet, and please move to the banquet hall."

Seeing this, Xie Yaohua could only say so.

As Xie Yaohua spoke, he led Mu Yuanqi forward, and the rest followed behind and moved to the banquet hall together.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Shen Nanying trotted to Shen Ci's side, tugged at Shen Ci's sleeve, and whispered.

"Second Brother, Second Brother, did you bring the cake?"

Shen Nanzhu walked in front of Shen Ci, pricking up his ears to hear what Shen Nanying would say to Ah Ci.

What he didn't want to hear was this, so the corners of his mouth twitched.

This snack!
The corner of Shen Ci's mouth twitched slightly.

"Bring it!"

He did it early in the morning.

"Hee hee, that's good, sister Qi wants to eat too!"

Shen Nanying smiled happily.

"Is that His Highness Qi just now?"

There are too many people, he can't remember all at once!

"Yeah, she is the Ninth Emperor's Daughter, Mu Yuanqi, and I am her companion."

There was a hint of pride on Shen Nanying's small face.

"Ninth Princess, you seem to have a lot of personality."

I've never seen someone come here directly to ask if there is a banquet!

"Sister Qi is a nice person."

Shen Nanying stayed by Shen Ci's side and kept talking.

As a result, Shen Ci now has Shen Nanzhu in front of him and Shen Nanying on his right. Those who are very interested in Shen Ci are afraid to come forward to strike up a conversation.

Xie's mansion is much smaller than Shen's mansion, but within a few moments of talking, he walked from the flower hall to the banquet hall.

Jomo had already taken his seats with the masters and side lords of each family.

"father."

Xie Yaohua walked in first.

"His Highness Qi has come down."

"I have met His Highness Qi."

Qiao Mo and the others stood up and saluted. They were also a little surprised by Mu Yuanqi's arrival.

Mu Yuanqi waved his hand directly to avoid the ceremony, and found an empty seat to sit down.

"Sister Ying, come and sit next to me!"

Shen Nanying had no choice but to go there.

Although there are more people, there are still enough seats.

Xie Yaohua rearranged the seats.

Ladies, it's easy to do here, but after His Royal Highness Qi and Shen Nanying, they will be arranged in the order of their previous seats.

Among the young masters, Shen Ci's status can be compared with that of Bi Jiuhong and Xie Meiting.

So Xie Yaohua added an extra seat after Xie Meiting and Bi Jiuhong, and the rest were postponed in turn.

When everyone was seated, Qiao Mo ordered the dishes to be served, and as the exquisite dishes were served on the table, Shen Ci gradually lost interest.

Because he has seen too much, these are really unattractive to him.

But when the last wave of servants brought a bottle of wine to everyone's table.

Shen Ci suddenly felt that he could do it again.

I don't know why.

Although Shen Ci had found out where there was wine in Shen's residence before, but when he wanted to get it, he found that there was nothing there!
Well, he didn't know, Shen Yinchu drank all the wine in Shen's residence that night, not a single drop was left!
Shen Ci, who didn't know the truth, felt very uncomfortable.

He felt that someone was secretly targeting him, but he had no proof.

But now it's all right, finally there is wine!
When he saw the wine, Shen Ci, who was sitting with his head tilted, instantly sat up straight.

With some interest in his eyes, he subconsciously licked his lips.

I don't know how many ladies on the opposite side focused their eyes on Shen Ci.

Bi Jiuhong noticed the eyes focused on Shen Ci, and snorted coldly, expressing his disdain for it.

Attract bees and butterflies!

Bi Jiuhong put a label on Shen Ci.

As the banquet began, Jomo, as the host, opened the ceremony first, expressing his gratitude to everyone for coming.

Then he told about how good his son is.

Then he cryptically expressed that if you have a crush on my son, you can come and talk to me, but I only want someone with good conditions, the right family, and someone who is worthy of my son.

As for other people, you just need to eat and drink well, and then do what you should do.

After Jomo finished his speech, the crowd agreed.

With amiable smiles on their faces, they began to praise Mei Ting.

If you are talented, capable, and good-looking, you will definitely get a good marriage in the future, etc.

Not only the elders, but also the juniors began to praise Mr. Mei Ting for his amazing talent, the best in the world, and no one in this world can match him.

As a result, the person who said these words was slapped by Shen Nanzhu.

The more the man spoke, the more he felt cold. He followed his gaze and found Shen Nanzhu's cold eyes. He froze for an instant. After struggling to finish the rest of the sentence, he sat down.

Shen Nanzhu would not argue with her on this occasion, but she kept her in mind.

Xie Meiting accepted the praise from his elders and peers with peace of mind, his face was still very flat, showing an attitude of not being pleased with things.

The lords who watched were amazed again, thinking that if they could marry Xie Meiting home, it would be a great virtue.

After everyone had said it, even Mu Yuanqi congratulated him in a timely manner.

Only Shen Ci was left without saying anything.

Shen Ci's mind is now full of the wine on the table, and he is not in the mood to boast to each other in business, so he just said something casually.

"Happy birthday to you."

It's so perfunctory that it can't be more perfunctory.

In fact, even if he said it seriously.

But Shen Ci never took his eyes off his desk!
The scene was a little awkward.

Except for Rao Feng and Shen Weihuai, none of the elders present knew who the extremely perfunctory person was just now.

Shen Nanying also smiled awkwardly.

"Second Brother, what gift do you want to give to Brother Mei Ting?"

At least it relieved a bit of embarrassment, and also introduced Shen Ci's identity.

Jomo spoke in surprise.

"This is the second son of the Shen family?"

Seeing that the topic fell on himself, Shen Ci temporarily took his attention away from the wine.

"Yes, I am sinking my words."

Shen Ci raised his hand to say hello, casually.

Jomo felt a little helpless about his way of greeting, but he couldn't care less about it.

"Is your body better?"

This Second Young Master Shen, I heard that he has been ill for 16 years, and today is the first time he shows up.

Although he is good-looking, he is suffering from illnesses at a young age, and he always feels that he is not a sign of longevity.

Not only Jomo, but many people have the same idea as him.

"It's almost done, thank you for your concern."

Shen Ci replied politely, and asked Bei Xia behind him to bring the cake box.

"Even if Ying'er didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it. This is a birthday cake for the third son. Please accept it."

Shen Ci stood up and opened the lid of the box, revealing the three-layer cake inside.

Because he knew that there would be a lot of people, he specially made three floors of oversized ones.

"Birthday cake? What is it?"

Xie Meiting was more interested in strange things, so he asked.

All the people present were curious, but Shen Ci also took out a handful of thin candles and stuck them on top of the cake.

Then he spoke out the draft that had already been typed.

"It's a custom in a place I read in a book that people eat birthday cakes on their birthdays and light as many candles as there are years.

Then the birthday person can make a wish on the candle, and then blow out all the candles in one breath, and the next year will go smoothly and your wish will come true. "

"Huh? Where is this custom, why don't I know?"

After hearing this, Xie Meiting asked seriously.
