Chapter 115: The Ritual of Birthday Greetings
"What else can I say?" Shi Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, then laughed instead of anger, turned around, patted Dong Feng's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "You're right...... The sky will always be clear! ”
"But...... Brother Shi, why are you smiling so reluctantly? Dong Feng continued to ask.
"Reluctantly? Nope, right!? Shi Yuan muttered to himself, then let out a long laugh and walked behind Lin Yingyue.
Shi Yuan suddenly laughed, the people around him couldn't help but look sideways, Dong Feng looked even more confused, looked at Shi Yuan's figure, and said to himself enviously: "Brother Shi...... It's really chic and open-minded! ”
"Yue'er, have you eaten enough?" Shi Yuan came to the table, sat beside Lin Yingyue, smiled, and asked.
When Lin Yingyue heard this, her face turned red, and she replied angrily: "You are full of anger!" After speaking, he glared at Shi Yuan, and then continued: "Come and sit with me!" ”
Because Shi Yuan occupied Dong Feng's original seat, Dong Feng had no choice but to stand aside at this time. When Shi Yuan heard Lin Yingyue's words, he stood up and said with a smile: "If you want to let me, how can you let my baby Yue'er give up your seat!" Brother Dong, sit here! ”
Dong Feng, who had just come to the table, heard Shi Yuan's words and was about to excuse himself. Shi Yuan couldn't help but say anything, pressed him to the seat, and then stood behind Lin Yingyue again.
In front of everyone, hearing Shi Yuan's affectionate name, Lin Yingyue was already accustomed to it. His heart was sweet, but his face was not angry: "I think you should stand!" ”
Shi Yuan smiled cheekily, and all the women at the table couldn't help but look at Shi Yuan with a playful face. Only Bai Suzhen glanced at Shi Yuan, but her face was calm.
The sound of the gong came from the "bell", which once again attracted everyone's attention: I saw Guo Renjie, who was wide and fat, holding a plate of "Shou Peach" pinched with noodles, and slowly walked towards the courtyard.
Guo Renjie held the plate in his hand, bowed his body, and the plate was held high above his head. Behind him was the white-haired old man who had just played the role of "Shou Xian" on the stage, holding a whisk in his hand, looking like a fairy wind bone. Leading the way in front is a courtesy official holding a gong and looking like a butler.
Everyone in the courtyard also stopped making noise and quietly looked at the three people who came over.
I saw that every time I walked a few steps, the ceremonial officer knocked down the gong in his hand, and the sound of the gong came, and the old man dressed as a "longevity fairy" behind him waved the dust, and shouted loudly: "Zixiao is prosperous, and he lives a hundred years old~"
Under the leadership of the ceremonial officer, the three of them circled around the courtyard before walking towards the Shoutang behind the courtyard again.
Because the shouting hall was blocked by the stage in the courtyard, everyone could not see the scene behind the stage. And Guo Youwei was sitting upright at this time, sitting under the capitalized Shou character in the hall. Guo Renjie and his entourage of three came to Shoutang, and once again circled around Shoutang in front of Guo Youwei three times, and the ceremonial officer who walked in front stood at the door, while the old man dressed as "Shouxian" stood beside Guo Youwei.
After the two of them stood up, Guo Renjie slowly took the plate and came to Guo Youwei, then knelt on the futon on the ground, handed the plate over his head with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Child Guo Renjie, offer a longevity peach for my father, and wish my father good health and a long life!" ”
As soon as Guo Renjie finished speaking, the "Shou Xian" beside Guo Youwei took the plate in Guo Renjie's hand and put it on the table on the side. Guo Renjie kowtowed to Guo Youwei at this time, got up and made a gesture, and after doing this, Guo Youwei laughed and said: "Sit down!" Guo Renjie heard this, so he sat on the stool that had been prepared on the side.
The ceremonial official standing outside also rang the gong again, and shouted loudly to everyone in the courtyard: "Licheng ~ Guo Gongzi has finished celebrating his birthday, please invite the representatives of the Guo family and relatives to enter the Shoutang to celebrate his birthday." ”
As soon as the words fell, four young men and women entered, and stood up from the table not far away, unlike Guo Renjie, these people did not do tedious etiquette in the courtyard anymore, but lined up directly and walked to the Shoutang.
Shi Yuan was in contact with this birthday worship ceremony for the first time, and couldn't help but be a little curious, watching a few people walk into the stage, he asked Lin Yingyue in a low voice: "Yue'er, is there anything particular about the order of this birthday worship?" ”
"That's natural, and the arrangement of this birthday order is naturally exquisite! Starting from Brother Guo Shi, to the Guo family's relatives, to the Guo family's relatives with foreign surnames, and then it was the turn of the guests. Visitors should also pay their birthday greetings in order of importance! Lin Yingyue opened her mouth to explain.
Shi Yuan suddenly realized, and then asked again, "Then when will we go in?" ”
"This ...... I don't know, it depends on how Brother Guo arranges. Lin Yingyue shook her head slightly and spoke.
"That's right...... Then in the future, if Lin Lao has a birthday, I should ...... Ah~"
As soon as Lin Yingyue heard that Shi Yuan was about to talk nonsense again, she hurriedly stepped on Shi Yuan's foot, and Shi Yuan shouted in pain. I heard Lin Yingyue speak: "Grandpa's birthday has long passed!" Don't talk nonsense! After Lin Yingyue finished speaking, she looked at the people at the table in a panic, and her face turned crimson.
Knowing that Lin Yingyue was shy, Shi Yuan stopped talking, and the pain in his toes made him grit his teeth and nod vigorously.
"You profiteer, you don't even know the etiquette of this birthday greeting, and you are too ignorant!" As soon as Lin Yingyue's words fell, she heard Bai Suzhen say lightly.
"That's it!" In order to alleviate her embarrassment, Lin Yingyue should also say a word of harmony.
Yes!? "What happened after I just left? Although I saw that the two of them were talking and laughing just now, they wouldn't be able to unite so quickly, right? Shi Yuan looked surprised, pointed at the two of them, and muttered, "You...... You ......"
"What's wrong with us?" Lin Yingyue stared at Shi Yuan and asked with a puzzled face. And Bai Suzhen also raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looking at Shi Yuan.
Looking at the two of them singing and harmonizing, Shi Yuan couldn't say a word for a long time: the two who were secretly competing just now are actually on the same front at this time! A woman's mind and fickleness......
Just when Shi Yuan secretly sighed in his heart, he heard another gong sound, and then he heard the ceremonial officer behind the stage shouting: "Licheng!" After the Guo family's birthday congratulations, please invite the son of Lord Dong, the governor of the three provinces, Dong Feng to come to Shoutang to pay respects~"
As soon as the words fell, Shi Yuan saw Dong Feng on the side stand up, dressed up, and walked towards the hall of the Guo family with a solemn face. looks extremely sophisticated and familiar, and there is no childishness at all! It is in stark contrast to Shi Yuan, who doesn't understand anything and asks questions.
"Brother Shi, junior brother will go to Shoutang first and wait for you!" Dong Feng took two steps, as if on purpose, turned his head and smiled slightly, said a word to Shi Yuan, and then turned to leave.
"This kid...... This is deliberately 'making fun' of me, a little white! Looking at Dong Feng's distant figure, Shi Yuan couldn't help but laugh in his heart. What's so angry about this! Shi Yuan whispered, and then asked Lin Yingyue again, "Why is it this kid's turn now?" Besides, how does this kid look so sophisticated......"
