On the eighth day of the first month of June, the heavens are beautiful. The rain stopped for several days, and the sky was bright with the sun.

Fuxing Fang, on the mansion of Gonggong Liu, the lanterns are colorful, the drums are noisy, the door is open, and the people who come out and go in are dressed in red and hung colors, and they are beaming.

The birthday banquet of Zhiweilou started two days earlier, and the birthday banquet in the house was set in Youshi, just after noon, there were congratulatory guests coming to the door one after another. There were many guests who didn't have invitations and couldn't get a seat, so they came to the house early to help, and they were familiar.

In Shen Shizhong, Jiang Anyi came to Fuxingfang and saw that the street in front of Liu's Mansion was parked on the side of the long sedan car, and there was a special person maintaining order, so he did not push the blockage. Liu's mansion used a large basket to hold white-flour steamed buns, and a large basin of braised pork and happy eggs were placed next to it, and those sedan chairmen and coachmen gathered together to eat with their mouths full of oil.

With the flow of people coming to the door of Liu's mansion, Jiang Anyi saw that there was a pergola outside the gate of the mansion, and there were several tables in a row in the shed, and there were several people behind the tables receiving gifts and keeping accounts, and there were jubilant family members standing behind, carrying gifts into the house in a steady stream.

A few zhang away from the door of the house, I heard the singing and cheering: "Nanyang Bo sent a pair of beads, two pairs of white bi, wishing Liu Gonggong a birthday." ”

The crowd was immediately set on fire, and everyone craned their necks to look, and the recipient held the gift up for display. Jiang Anyi caught a glimpse of the upper part of the beads in the box, the size of a duck's egg, and estimated that the price of these two beads would be no less than two thousand taels.

After waiting for half a pillar of incense, it was Jiang Anyi's turn. Jiang Anyi first handed over the invitation card in his hand, and then handed over the scroll in his hand. Someone registered: Jiang Anyi, a member of the Ministry of Rites, has a birthday message.

The person receiving the gift took the scroll and was stunned, and after receiving the gift for a few days, he has not seen one word given only. If it were a masterpiece of the predecessors, it would be precious, but looking at this scroll, it looks like it was new. The recipient was afraid that it was written by a famous person, so he unfolded the word axis. As a gift recipient, you must have a vision, at first glance, this word is ordinary, at most it can be regarded as handsome, and what you write is not worse than this, and then look at the payment, Pingshan Jiang Anyi, is the name of the Ministry of Rites on the invitation card Wailang Jiang Anyi.

The recipient looked at Jiang Anyi in surprise, he was also well-informed, and he had never encountered such a thing. It is said that at Jiang Anyi's age, most of them come to give gifts to the banquet for the elders in the family, such as Wei Youcheng, the grandson of Wei Xiang. From the official of Liupin, he was able to get an invitation from Gonggong Liu, and it is said that the relationship between this person and Gonggong Liu is extraordinary, but how can he only send a worthless calligraphy and painting?

Liu Sanzai walked out of the door with a spring breeze, he had just sent Uncle Nanyang into the hospital, today is the uncle, oh, it should be called Daddy's birthday, and he should be more diligent as a son to please Daddy. People are in good spirits when they are happy, Liu Sanzai feels that he is walking with good luck, good things one after another, and he is so happy that he can't stop laughing in his dreams at night, all of which comes from his stepfather.

The family is poor, and I heard my father say that my uncle went to Beiguan with someone when he was a teenager, and there has been no news, and the family only treats him as dead. Unexpectedly, more than ten years ago, the uncle actually sent someone to find his relatives, and the family knew that the uncle had entered the palace and became a eunuch. Aren't eunuchs waiting for the emperor in the palace? Why did the officials in the government and the county take turns to visit the house, the grass embryo house at home was replaced by a blue brick compound, and soon there was a field, livestock, and servants, and the family estimated that the uncle became a big official in the palace.

Although I met my relatives, I had never met my uncle. Later, the uncle wrote to ask the baby to go to school, and he and Genzai studied in private school for a few days, and he also passed the county school. The second uncle and his father were talking about the uncle's 50th birthday, and the family prepared some special products to come to Beijing to find the uncle, and the officials in the house knew about it, and specially sent three cars to escort their families into Beijing, and also sent two cars full of things, and they knew that the original uncle was the Bingli eunuch in the palace, the head of the eunuchs, and the celebrity around the emperor.

Yongchang City is really big, and it took nearly two hours from the city gate to the uncle's residence. Living in the uncle's yard, the furnishings, the decoration, which can be compared to his own compound. When I arrived in the capital at the end of March, I didn't see my uncle until April 13, and the uncle looked very similar to the second uncle and his father, but he didn't have a beard, and he looked younger than the second uncle and his father.

Relatives met to say goodbye, crying and laughing for a while, their juniors kowtowed to the uncle, somehow, I saw the uncle remember what Mr. taught "a gentleman is a gentleman, and he is born immediately." Filial piety is also the foundation of benevolence. In addition to the meeting gift, the uncle also untied a piece of jade from his waist and gave it to himself, which made Gen Zai's eyes very red.

Later, the uncle and the second uncle, the father they discussed to pass on themselves to the uncle as a son, although a little reluctant to father, but than the prosperity of the capital to stay with the uncle, in the future everything will belong to the uncle.

kowtowed to the uncle and called "Dad", and the uncle was in tears, which made everyone sigh. Daddy said to himself that he wanted to ask for an official, and sure enough, the right Tibetan on the eighth product signed the order, and I heard Daddy say that it was an official who took care of the baby for the emperor. On the eighth grade, he is only one level shorter than the county order at home, and he is on the rise. Everyone has their own fate, and there is no way to do it if Gen Zai is red-eyed, hahaha.

Out of the gate, Liu Sanzai saw the gift recipient holding a calligraphy and painting in a daze, the person who gave the gift was very young, I don't know which son of the house. In the past two days, Liu Sanzai has not been in contact with the son of the princely family, and the sound of "Brother Liu" has made his bones lighter, according to his father's instructions, let himself deal with these people more, and connections are more important than anything else.
