Chapter 24 What did you do wrong?
Old Mrs. Wang is the birthday star, but she dare not walk to the main seat because of Hua Muchen's existence. Hua Muchen smiled faintly, signaling a girl in white to step forward and help Old Mrs. Wang sit on the birthday star seat.
"Dear birthday!" The emcee shouted, and the birthday gifts prepared beside him were presented one by one.
These birthday gifts that can be presented are all carefully selected. First, the person who wants to give gifts has status, and second, the birthday gift itself can be taken out.
Wang Cheng held a birthday party for his old mother every year. His purpose was very clear, which was to take the opportunity to make money.
There are several townships under Nanfeng Town. Which one of them doesn’t try to make a good deal for him? He has no money, but as long as he can handle the court, he will be the local emperor in this town.
Except for the matter of Jinmao Mansion, he had the final say.
Therefore, the annual birthday party is the best time for him to make money with great fanfare. The process of presenting a birthday gift is similar to marrying his daughter to "praise the dowry", which means separation from each other.
They are all people with similar status and status, and the things they give are poor, so how can I feel embarrassed to come to him for work next time?
"I wish the old lady a blessing in the East China Sea!"
"I wish Mrs. Wang a long life!"
“…”
Whenever someone came up, he would say a birthday celebration. The host introduced the identity of the person, and the servant next to him presented his gift. Old Mrs. Wang saw the gift, smiled and nodded, or praised loudly, and everyone agreed, and everyone carried the people in the flower sedan chair.
This process is done every year, and everyone is familiar with it. As for what they think about it, whether they are cursing, at least they seem to be harmonious on the surface.
Xu Sanchun listened carefully to the host's call. When it was Mr. Sun's turn, he saw an old man with a medium figure and a big belly. Even if he was covered in silk and satin, he could not hide his vulgar temperament.
Beside him, a woman with a round waist and thick waist stood with her head full of jade and a happy face. She stood in the hall like a hill.
The two of them had a bonsai of "Nanshan Forever Pine". A pine tree that was only at the height of his arms was planted in the pot, with broken jade and amber as embellishment below.
Among the gifts, the pot of pine trees was particularly conspicuous. Mrs. Sun almost carried her chin to the sky. Mrs. Sun said happily: "Oh, old lady, you don't know. In order to celebrate your birthday, we have been looking for a suitable pine tree for several years."
"Is this? I finally found it before the New Year, but it's really not easy. We found a master and carefully cultivated it so that we can take it out and see you."
Although Mrs. Sun is not very good-looking, she is really good at speaking with her mouth. No matter whether she has been looking for it for several years or not, her words are intimate and full of heart. The old lady listens to it with a relaxed smile and can't stop smiling.
Although Mr. Sun did not speak, his posture and expression were extremely proud.
Just like this, he actually wants to marry the tenth concubine? Xu Sanchun secretly complained in his heart. Seeing that his body was not very good, could he eat and eat?
It's simply a disaster for a woman.
Xu Sanchun secretly held a grudge for those women in his heart and remembered Mrs. Sun's appearance in his heart. It is said that Mrs. Sun is a powerful person, and it does look like this.
After a few more people, it was Tiantai Township's turn to present a gift.
Li Zheng and Mrs. Li Zheng came forward to say congratulations, and Xu Lan took the tray from her subordinates and held it. She was full of excitement and longed for the praise of everyone when the red silk was unveiled.
After coming to Nanfeng Town, Xu Lan understood why she could get the different eyes of Li Zheng. Xu Sanchun's embroidery skills, let alone Tiantai Township, even in Nanfeng Town, was one of the best.
She lowered her head, covered her involuntary smile, excited and looking forward.
"The old lady celebrates her birthday. Apart from the salt farm in Tiantai Township, there is really nothing good to take."
Mrs. Li Zheng smiled and saw with satisfaction that the other villages were showing a jealous look, and continued, "Fortunately, the juniors in our village are not bad and promising. Isn't this? I'll give you an ugly look."
After hearing what she said, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Lan. Could this little girl be so praised by the villagers? Is it because of her great embroidery skills? This is the only explanation.
After being watched by so many people, Xu Lan proudly raised her chest, posing in her most elegant posture, stepped forward respectfully, knelt on the cotton pad, and held the tray high above her head, "Xu Lan wishes the old lady a blessing as good as the East China Sea and a long life as the South Mountain."
Old Mrs. Wang looked at her with a smile, "It's really rare to be such a little girl. Let me see what good thing is here?"
The servant who served her came forward and uncovered the red silk covered with the screen.
Xu Lan's hands holding the tray high became a little sore, but she insisted on not moving at all, waiting for the next praise.
On the screen, there was a very suitable picture of "Magu's Birthday Picture", which was very good at embroidery. The patterns on Magu's dress and the waves on her feet were all vivid.
only……
The crowd gradually calmed down and the air suddenly became silent.
Xu Sanchun raised a smile on the corner of her lips. She looked at Xu Lan, her eyes full of sarcasm.
She didn't notice that Hua Muchen, who was sitting on one side, was watching her playfully. Jackdaw had already returned to him what had happened before, including helping her.
The smile on Mrs. Wang's face gradually disappeared. Mrs. Wang looked angry and stepped forward and said, "Phone!" and knocked the screen on the tray to the ground, scolding: "Who gave you such courage! Come here to make trouble! Say!"
The sudden change made Xu Lan scream "ah" and her eyes looked around in panic. But wherever she looked, everyone retreated one after another, and no one wanted to get involved in this matter.
"I...I..." Xu Lan was speechless. She had no idea what had happened, and she had no way to defend herself.
Her expression was in the eyes of Mrs. Wang, and she felt guilty. Mrs. Wang pointed at the screen on the ground and pointed at Xu Lan viciously, "Come on! Take this disrespectful guy down, I want to sue her!"
As a result, he was worthy of being Mrs. Baojia, and Xu Lan was charged in an instant.
Xu Lan stood there blankly, and she never expected that the moment of glory that originally belonged to her would become a sinner in the blink of an eye?
"No, no!" She walked two steps on the ground, reached the feet of Mrs. Wang, and cried and begged: "Madam, what did I do wrong? Do you want to punish me like this? I am filial to the old lady!"
Wang Cheng said with a dark face: "You don't know what you did yourself? Don't pretend to be stupid!" He was angry and actually made such a big ugly thing in front of Hua Muchen.
What is Tiantai Township doing? He looked at Li Zheng in Tiantai Township.
Li was busy stepping forward to clear the relationship: "Mr. Wang, it was the Xu family who took the initiative to offer a birthday gift. We agreed to see that she was sincere enough. Who knew that she would do such a thing."
