The Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Rat has not yet begun, but Gao Jing has already received festive greetings from many people.
Niu Jinxing, Zhang Ying, Zhang Hongyuan and Ji Yu called from Lion City.
As for the messages on WeChat, there are even more.
Some classmates from university, several past clients, two beauties selling BMW and real estate, etc.
Even Song Xue sent him an electronic greeting card.
To be honest, Gao Jing had already forgotten about this person and only remembered it after seeing the news.
"Uncle, Happy Chinese New Year!"
The lingering Zhong Yunxiu also came to join in the fun: "Don't forget the premiere tomorrow!"
"Happy New Year."
Gao Jing said angrily: "I don't have Alzheimer's disease."
Zhong Yunxiu smiled and ended the call with him.
"Who are you calling?"
The beautiful woman sitting next to Zhong Yunxiu asked curiously: "Who is the uncle?"
"Well."
Zhong Yunxiu rolled his eyes and explained seriously: "You heard wrong, it's not uncle, it's Dashu."
"In the summer of summer, I would like to send my New Year greetings to my classmates from Shanghai Film Academy!"
The beautiful woman seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Editor, you continue to make it up, Great Heat? Why not call it Xiaohan?"
She knew her cousin's temperament very well.
Quirky.
"Tell me the truth, did you find a boyfriend without telling me? Uncle? Is he very old?"
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
"Then I'll ask my aunt."
"ah!"
Zhong Yunxiu hugged the other person's arm and shook it vigorously, and said coquettishly: "Cousin, my dear cousin, you are my biological sister, please don't ask me, okay?"
"OK OK."
Miss Su Yazhen was so dizzy by her shaking that she quickly said, "I won't ask anymore."
"muma!"
Zhong Yunxiu leaned over and kissed her cousin's pretty face: "I know you are the best to me!"
Su Yazhen glared at her hard.
But there was nothing we could do.
Su Yazhen doesn't show any pretense to others, but she can't do anything about her closest little cousin.
But she really suspected that Zhong Yunxiu was in love with someone.
Zhong Yunxiu is already nineteen years old. It is normal to fall in love and have a boyfriend, but if the other person is very old.
That would be a big problem!
At this moment, the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped steadily at the door of the mansion.
On the top of the vermillion-lacquered door inlaid with rows of gilded copper nails, in the middle of a plaque made of golden nanmu, the two characters "Su Yuan" stand out under the light.
This is Su Garden, one of the seven famous gardens in Suzhou City.
It is also the ancestral home of the Su family!
Tonight is New Year's Eve, and the old house of the Su family is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the red characters "Fu" and "Shou" are plastered everywhere.
The Su family has five direct lines, dozens of branches, and hundreds of family members.
Many people come from all over the world, and some even come back from overseas.
Let’s celebrate the 80th birthday of Mrs. Su, the head of the Su family!
Mrs. Su Ye Jinlan is a legend in Suzhou city and a strange woman of her generation.
She married Mr. Su when she was sixteen years old, and gave birth to five sons and two daughters to him. She took care of the housework diligently and managed the family in an orderly manner.
At the age of forty, Mrs. Su died of illness, and civil strife broke out in the Su family, which had lost its pillar.
Seeing that the Su family was about to fall apart, Ye Jinlan, who had been in the inner courtyard of the deep house, stood up resolutely and used thunderous means to suppress several troublemaking uncles into submission.
Turn the tide!
She sorts out family relationships internally and expands the power of the Su family externally.
Forty years have passed, and now the Su family has become a giant with assets worth hundreds of billions, with hundreds of group companies under its umbrella, and its industries involve finance, the Internet, real estate, high technology, entertainment, etc.
Although she is eighty years old, Ye Jinlan has always firmly held the power of the Su family.
The 30th of the twelfth lunar month is Ye Jinlan’s birthday.
Every year at this time, the Su family holds a grand birthday banquet for the old lady and spends the holidays together.
This year coincides with Ye Jinlan's eightieth birthday, so in addition to the Su family members, all major families and forces that have good relations with the Su family have sent representatives to celebrate his birthday.
Su Yazhen is the eldest granddaughter of the third direct descendant of the Su family. She came to Su Garden tonight, of course, to wish her great-grandma a birthday!
After entering the gate of Su Garden, walking through the front yard and then walking through the long corridor, they arrived at the Juxian Hall in the Central Garden.
Su Garden covers an area of 57 acres and is divided into five gardens: southeast, northwest, and middle. Each garden has its own unique characteristics and is a very typical Gusu garden. If it were not privately owned by the Su family, it would have been included in the World Cultural Heritage List.
Juxian Hall is the largest hall in Su Garden, and the name of the hall was written by Mrs. Su himself.
Back then, the boss of the Su family entertained visitors from all over here and made the Su family's business prosperous.
Now hundreds of relatives and guests gathered together to congratulate Mrs. Su on her birthday!
There is a picture of the Queen Mother of Yaochi on the wall, and a large Chinese character "Shou" cut out of gold paper is hung in the middle of the longevity hall. A ceremony table is set up in front, and longevity peaches, longevity cakes, longevity noodles, fragrant flowers, fruits, etc. are displayed on the ceremony table.
There is also a red worship mat on the ground for future generations to salute.
Mrs. Su, who was wearing a bright red dress celebrating longevity and longevity, sat at the main seat and accepted the congratulations from her younger relatives with a smile.
In fact, compared to ancient times, today's birthday celebration ceremony has been simplified a lot.
In the past, a banquet for close relatives and friends was held on the eve of a birthday, which was called "Warm Shou". At noon, there was a banquet with "longevity" in mind, and then there was a big banquet in the evening. There was also a banquet to thank the deacons the next day.
Let's have a dinner now to entertain relatives and guests from all over.
But simplification is simplification, and the solemnity of the ceremony is not reduced at all.
One by one, the Su family's children and guests came forward to salute and greet the old lady.
I should have sent another congratulatory gift.
It's just that Mrs. Su has a rule. She only accepts birthday gifts from the fifth direct lineage, and one gift per room is enough.
Others will not be accepted.
Even if someone else brings it to you, they will send it back intact after the birthday banquet, plus a return gift.
For the fifth direct descendant of the Su family, New Year's Eve is undoubtedly the best opportunity to flatter the old lady.
As long as you make the old lady happy, you can get a lot of benefits next year.
Ever since, the annual birthday banquet has become a treasure fighting party for the five direct descendants!
When Su Yazhen and Zhong Yunxiu stepped into the Juxian Hall together, many people looked over.
Focused on Su Yazhen.
This eldest granddaughter of the third wife is currently Ye Jinlan’s favorite great-grandchild.
Just because she was favored by the old lady, Su Yazhen, who had just returned from studying abroad, took over a company.
According to the old lady, this large company with assets of over one billion is just for Su Yazhen to "train"!
How can such a deep love not make people envious, jealous, and hateful?
Under the gaze of many strange eyes, Su Yazhen came to Ye Jinlan calmly, knelt on the worship mat, and kowtowed respectfully to the old lady: "Grandma, I wish you a long life and endless blessings like the East Sea!"
"good."
Ye Jinlan smiled and stretched out her hand to help her up, looked at her carefully and said, "My Yazhen has become beautiful again. I really don't know whose boy is lucky enough to marry you."
There were quite a few "men" present, and when they heard this, they all looked eager to try.
Su Yazhen of the Su family has been a famous beauty since she was a child.
The blind fortune teller in Gusu City once told Su Yazhen's fortune, saying that if she were born in ancient times, she would definitely have a beautiful mother in the world!
It was precisely because of the blind man's prediction that Ye Jinlan was particularly fond of this great-granddaughter.
Not only is Su Yazhen beautiful in appearance, but her academic performance is also top-notch. After graduating from Imperial University, she went to study abroad at Wharton School of Business at Merican, where she received a master's degree in finance.
She is only 24 years old this year!
Regarding the old lady's joke, Su Yazhen said softly: "I don't want to get married, I want to spend more time with my great-grandma."
Ye Jinlan smiled brightly and said: "You have a good intention, but girls still have to get married. Don't miss it when you meet someone you like, but remember to bring him over first and let me see it."
Su Yazhen agreed obediently: "Yes."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhong Yunxiu quickly came up to kowtow to the old lady to wish her birthday.
She couldn't be more eccentric.
I didn't dare to make any mistakes in front of Ye Jinlan.
The old lady liked her very much.
A few words of encouragement.
After Su Yazhen arrived, all the direct descendants of the fifth family of the Su family were gathered.
According to the protocol, representatives of the five houses presented their carefully prepared birthday gifts.
This is undoubtedly the most exciting part of tonight’s birthday party!
