The old lady of the Zhang family celebrated her birthday, so she invited Tian Minyan and the others, but that day was on the 14th, and there were still a few days left. At this moment, she didn't know whether to go back to Yangmei Village. That night, the family started to discuss it.
Luo wanted to leave and come back when the time came, but Tian Minyan said that she was rough, and although the county town was not far away, it was not suitable for bumpy roads, so he asked her to stay for a few more days before leaving after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The family cannot be without a master, so Tian Huairen said that he would go back to Yangmei Village first and then come to the county to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tian Minrui also wanted to go to the town to go to school, so the two father and son went back to Yangmei Village first.
Stay for a few more days.
When talking about Tian Huaifang's incident during the day, Luo felt very angry and said: "In front of so many people, you said that we have no regard for family affection and are sharp and ruthless. It's really true..."
Naturally, Tian Huairen also heard about what happened in the private room. He was very depressed when his eldest sister was spoken to like this, and he shook his head and remained silent.
When Tian Minyan saw it, she tugged on Luo Shi's sleeve. When Luo Shi saw it, he snorted and said, "What's wrong? I can't say that?"
"No, it's true, I just think the eldest sister shouldn't do it." Tian Huairen said hurriedly: "Don't be angry, don't people believe her words?"
Luo Shi sneered and said, "That's because the masses have sharp eyes. Otherwise, you and I would have to live up to our reputation of being sharp and ruthless."
Tian Minyan was picking up the tea bowl and drinking tea. When she heard this, she squirted out a mouthful of tea and looked at Luo Shi and laughed.
She once said that the masses have sharp eyes. Unexpectedly, Luo Che remembered it and applied it now. Now she found that Luo Che was actually a master who did not want to suffer losses.
Luo Shi saw that his children were all laughing, and knew that he had passed. He couldn't help but pursed his lips and snickered. Tian Huairen breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of Tian Huaifang's arrogant face towards him, his eyes darkened again.
"Dad, don't worry about it. Mom also said that the public's eyes are sharp. Everyone can clearly see how our third family behaves and behaves. We have a clear conscience." Tian Minyan comforted her.
"I know, if she really thought about it for me, she wouldn't speak like this." Tian Huairen let out a long sigh, his tone full of disappointment.
Tian Minyan was speechless. Her father was also a poor man. With such a father, mother, brother and sister, she could only sigh and feel helpless.
"Let's not talk about those things. Let's talk about what gifts we should give Mrs. Zhang's birthday." Tian Minyan clapped her hands and changed the topic.
The Zhang family invited Tian Minyan and others to attend the birthday banquet. In fact, it was just for the sake of Liu Ye and Mrs. Wen. Because the Tian family was familiar with them, they naturally fell in love with Wujiwu.
Tian Minyan and the others also knew this very well, so the birthday gift they prepared was not very expensive, nor was it too rude. They gave a pair of blue and white lotus branches with a pattern of "hi" and dendrobium. Because the Zhang family had reserved a table on the first floor.
Noodles, so Tian Minyan specially made a super large birthday cake.
In the kitchen on the first floor, Luo Shi and the others were gathered around, looking at the two-layer cake on the table, which was as big as a basin. There was a white ball of bubbles on it. It was said to be some kind of cream, and it was spread on the flat cake.
There is also a circle of lace on the cake, and some fresh fruits are used to decorate the cake. The color is very clear and beautiful.
In order to perfect the cake, Tian Minyan also went to find a sugar pourer to pour a few words on it. One was Happy Birthday and the other was Longevity. The words were poured very clearly. When inserted on top, they looked like chocolate.
No different.
The box containing the cake was specially made by Lianxianglou. When she designed the box, the shopkeeper of Lianxianglou was very surprised. After that, Lianxianglou launched a new paper box for desserts.
Tian Minyan carefully put the cake and the base into the box, found a ribbon and tied it with a beautiful bow, then she freshened up and went to Zhang's house for the banquet with Luo Shi and the others.
"Sister, you also made me this cake on my birthday." Xiao Wu licked his lips, looking very slanderous.
"Okay, let's make it more beautiful. Now you can recite a passage from the book to my sister and my mother." Tian Minyan smiled and rubbed his head.
Xiao Wu quickly sat upright, straightened his little chest, and read loudly: "The Master said, it is a great pleasure to have friends come from afar..."
Tian Minyan's carriage arrived together with Mrs. Wen's carriage, and they couldn't help but greet each other when they saw each other. When a servant saw them, they cleverly ran to announce that Mrs. Zhang personally came to welcome them into the mansion.
Mrs. Zhang's birthday was celebrated, and there were many people at the banquet. The ladies and ladies were all sitting and talking in Mrs. Zhang's main hall. When they heard that Mrs. Wen and the others were coming, they all stood up to greet her.
Mrs. Wen had always been gentle and did not put on the airs of an official wife. She even blessed the old lady with a salute, which made the old lady Zhang feel as happy as anything.
The Zhang family has been dealing with businessmen all their lives. Now the eldest daughter-in-law has married two official wives and even came to celebrate her birthday. How could she not be happy? This is a very honorable thing.
The elders saluted, and it was the turn of juniors such as Tian Minyan to greet them. Mrs. Zhang called them one by one and handed out red envelopes, and then asked her servants to lead the boys to play.
"Yan Yatou, Xiaorou, come and sit here." Liu Ye had arrived a long time ago, sitting on the lower right side of Mrs. Zhang, and waved to Tian Minyan with a smile.
The eyes of the whole room fell on Tian Minyan, with jealousy, envy, and disdain. Tian Minyan looked at it with a smile, and suddenly raised her eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Tian Huaifang and the others were so shameless that they actually came to the banquet.
"Are these the girl from the Tian family and Miss Wen? Come on, come and have a look." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang became interested and immediately called two more people forward.
Tian Minyan and Wen Wen looked at each other and smiled. They both stepped forward generously and congratulated in unison: "I wish the old lady to be as old as the pines and cypresses and live as long as the southern mountains."
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Zhang smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. She took a closer look at the other with one hand and praised them: "They are really two wonderful people, one is gentle and generous, and the other is pretty and smart. Okay, really good."
"Mrs. Zhang, please don't praise them two. You can't praise this child. His nose will go up to heaven." Liu Ye said with a smile.
"It's good, that's good. I should praise it. The old lady likes it very much. Someone, come and get my white magnolia hairpin and jade bead bracelet."
When the people below heard this, they immediately sat up straight, especially the girl and daughter-in-law who seemed to be descendants of the Zhang family, their eyes widened.
The servant who listened to Mrs. Zhang's instructions soon came back with a box. Mrs. Zhang picked up a white jade hairpin with orchids carved on it and inserted it into her gentle hair. She said: "Kong Ruoyou."
Lan, good boy, this hairpin looks great on you."
"Old madam, this can't be done." Wen Wen tried to pull away, her voice soft and gentle, like the spring breeze.
"You're not allowed to pick it off. It's my birthday today, so don't make me angry." Madam Zhang pretended to be angry, then she took a green bracelet and wrapped it around Tian Minyan's wrist, saying, "You
Yes, this jade bead bracelet is what young girls like you should wear. Look, how beautiful it is."
"Old madam, you always keep the treasure at the bottom of the box untouched, but it's almost moldy, so you took it out to dry it to make us here jealous? Come on, Sister Wen and I can't live without it.
Let me make a rake and let you bask in the sunshine." Tian Minyan said with a pretense of sighing, and then said softly: "Good sister, can you satisfy the old lady's love for beauty and showing off with me?"
After saying that, he straightened his gentle head, raised his left hand, and said to everyone in a very coquettish posture: "Everyone, please look carefully, these are the treasures collected by the old lady in the box.
Come on, now it will see the light of day, don’t miss out on admiring it, there is no shop like this after passing this village."
When she did this, Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, but she soon burst out laughing. She smiled at the people beside her and said, "You guys, please get this girl quickly, how can you do such a trick?"
, Ouch, that’s ridiculous.”
Liuye also covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled, saying: "This girl is really good at it."
Luo Shi was so frightened by Tian Minyan's words that she broke into a cold sweat. Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was so happy, she took a deep breath and relaxed.
Mrs. Wen on the side saw it and smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. I think this girl is well-measured."
"Madam, you don't know, my back was wet with sweat when I was startled by her, and I was scared to death by her." Luo Shi wiped the cold sweat with a handkerchief.
Mrs. Wen smiled and said nothing, and asked someone to bring her another cup of tea.
"Okay, our ancestors hid and pinched the sky when they saw it. We can only secretly think about how many good treasures there are. This time, thanks to the blessing of the two girls, we can see them all." Mrs. Zhang clapped her hands and smiled.
for fun.
The Zhang family is a big businessman, so there are naturally a lot of good things, especially Mrs. Zhang. Everyone knows that there are a lot of treasures at the bottom of the box. Now Mrs. Zhang is saying this, in fact, she is cooperating with Tian Minyan and the others to tease Mr. Zhang
People just laugh.
"Okay, this is what the old lady put in the box. OK, Grandma Gu, you can take the eldest daughter-in-law to open the box and let her choose." Mrs. Zhang was very happy and said to the grandmother beside her with a smile.
"Then my wife must choose the best one."
Seeing this, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family below quickly winked at her daughters, and they immediately rushed forward and whispered: "Ancestors, there are still us."
"They are all there, they are all there."
Tian Minyan and Wen Wen looked at each other, took off the hairpin and bracelet given by the old lady and said, "Old lady, our sisters have shown off this treasure for you, and now it can be returned to its original owner." With that, she took the two pieces.
All the jewelry were handed to Grandma Gu.
"What's going on, what's going on, do you think this old woman's plaything is not good? Take it off one by one. Put it on quickly. Since you have shown off for me, you must also give me some benefits. This is all yours. Now,
Put it on and show it to me, it will make you happy." When Mrs. Zhang saw it, her face immediately sank, and she put it on again for them, saying, "You are not allowed to say goodbye to this gift, and you are not allowed to take it off again."
Tian Minyan and Wen Wen exchanged a look, and had no choice but to bow down and thank her: "Well, Yan'er (Rou'er), thank you, old lady."
Mrs. Zhang laughed and asked them to return to their seats. Tian Minyan and the others sat next to Liu Ye, and she laughed for a while.
"Look at the way she behaves, she is really a country bumpkin, like a country bumpkin who can't see good things." Near the door, Huang Wenru snorted at her sister He Tian Huaifang beside her, but her lips turned white from biting them, and the hand in her hand
The handkerchief was twisted into a pickle shape.
Although Huang Wenyuan pretended to be calm, her eyes still revealed her jealousy. She glared at the green jade string in Tian Minyan's hand. The green color contrasted with the white wrist, not to mention how beautiful it was.
Tian Huaifang's face didn't look much better. She found out that Tian Minyan and the others had given them a pair of birthday gifts, and she despised them for being so petty. In order to please the Zhang family, she spent a lot of money to get a pair of birthday gifts from Magu.
Where's the bottle?
She specially dressed up her two daughters, wearing the most expensive jewelry and clothes. Even so, they couldn't attract the old lady's attention. She just sat far away, and there weren't many people around them like them.
Speaker.
But when Tian Minyan and the others came, they sat in the front seat. Tian Minyan even got a reward from the old lady. That green bracelet, wow, how valuable that is.
Tian Minyan had no reason not to be aware of the burning jealousy of the three mothers and daughters. She looked over and met Huang Wenru's jealous eyes, and couldn't help but smile. She raised her left hand and touched her ear.
As the skewer slid down, she noticed that Huang Wenru's eyes were about to burst into flames, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
It was just a bracelet. She didn't bother to show off like this, but it made some people jump in anger, which was quite satisfying to see.
After talking for a while, the servants said that the stage was ready and invited the old lady and the others to listen to the play. Then everyone gathered around and went to the stage.
Although they were sitting at the bottom, Tian Huaifang and the others had no reason to walk in front, so they stood aside and waited for the old lady and others to pass.
Tian Minyan and Wen Wen walked together, and there were also ladies from several houses talking together. As they walked to the door, she sharply saw Huang Wenru stretching out one of her legs.
It’s such a cliche plot. Do you want to trick her into causing mischief?
Tian Minyan sneered, pretending not to notice, but moved to Wen Wenru's side, stepped hard on Huang Huang Wenru's instep, and then crushed her hard.
Huang Wenru thought her plot had succeeded, but she didn't expect Tian Minyan to show up like this, and she screamed in pain like a pig.
With this shout, the people who had not walked far in front stopped and looked over, only to see Huang Wenru being covered by the sister next to her, saying awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay." Then they all left.
Tian Minyan pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, my eldest cousin's feet are so long, and she stretched them out in front of me. I'm so sorry, my feet don't have eyes, so I stepped on you."
As soon as she said this, the lady next to her started laughing secretly. Huang Wenru's face turned red, but her sister covered her mouth and stopped her from having a fit, so she could only whine.
Tian Minyan glanced at her disdainfully, then walked away with Wen Wenwen in her arms.
When Huang Wenyuan saw her walking away, she let go of Huang Wenru. The latter immediately screamed and cursed: "Tian Minyan, you little bitch, don't let me tear her apart."
