Chapter 475: Birthday Gift
Everyone like the stars with the moon like the old lady to the front hall, the guests are up one after another, Liu Mu is also smiling and nodding and greeting everyone, in the support of Bi Jin to sit in the lobby, the guests also stepped forward one by one in order, the first person to congratulate is Zhang Yun, although he is only a minister, but he represents the Son of Heaven, followed by Yang Biao, Fu Wan and other old ministers, in the face of them Liu Mu is to get up to greet each other, to show enough respect, and then some officials and old ladies just sit on the chair to signal, Cai Yan and Liu Du can return the gift on their behalf.
After the congratulations to the Liu Mansion lobby there is a banquet, there will be a subordinate to lead it to entertain, for a time before the main hall of people shuttle, so lively, the door of the two registered family members are even more energetic, full of energy, like Liu's mother's fiftieth birthday of this pomp, looking at the big man is not rare, as a person to see such a world is with honor, all are radiant!
"Mr. Mi Fang of Xuzhou Mi Family has arrived!" In the loud voice of the family, Mi Fang, who was eight feet long, walked in with a whole team of Jiading holding gift boxes, what beautiful jade pearls, silk and satin everything, although the Xuzhou Mi family was under the rule of Liu Bei, but many years ago with Liu Yi befriended, Mi Zhen married into the Liu family, at this time in Liu Yi's Youzhou, and Zhou, Sizhou and Liaodong are all full of Mi family's business name, the strength is extremely strong, that Mi Fang is Mi Zhen's brother, Mi Zhu's brother, second only to his brother in the family, by him to show respect for the old lady.
Mi Fang stepped forward very respectfully to Liu's mother to see the gift, Liu's mother at this time is also slightly bowed to signal, this Mi family is her in-laws, of course, it is different, those such as a mountain of congratulatory gifts is the most eye-catching is a Shu brocade, the quality is high-quality, it is rare that the Mi family visited a hundred skilled craftsmen each will be good at the fancy embroidery with it, called a hundred flowers to compete for the brocade, it is indeed extraordinary, women's interest in these will not be diminished because of age, Liu's mother is no exception.
At this time, Mi Zhen looked at her brother, the smile on her face was also very bright, the eldest brother made an extraordinary shot but it was also his own face, looking at his mother-in-law's appearance was extremely happy, and the women on the side were also amazed by the beauty of this brocade, and they praised it, only Zhen Mi on the side smiled quite reluctantly, in fact, she and Mi Zhen were close friends in the boudoir back then, and then married into the Liu family one after another, and the relationship between the two was also very good, but among Liu Yi's wives and concubines, if the temperament was discussed, Zhen Mi was the strongest, Cai Yan was Liu Yi's wife, she would not fight with her, But now this festive scene, the Mi family has made such a move, but her Zhen family has not moved, is it delayed by the war?
"Mr. Zhen Jun of the Zhen family in Jizhou has arrived." In a hurry, the family's loud words made her relax slightly, and a handsome man with red teeth and white teeth walked into the hall with a team of family members, this Zhen Jun is Zhen Mi's cousin, since she married Liu Yi, many business affairs are taken care of by him, although he is still young, he is smart and erudite, and has been praised by the Zhen family, the Zhen family's power in the north is not lost to the Mi family, how can Liu's mother's birthday be left behind this time?
Zhen Jun stepped forward to give Liu's mother a gift, this time the birthday gift they prepared is also extremely rich, and the most valuable and very suitable for the old lady is the crutch made of South China Sea agarwood, this thing is extremely rare, generally just used to make some small furnishings, are already worth a lot, now this crutch is even more difficult to estimate, there is a faint fragrance on it, the function is calming and calming, this fragrance will not be too strong, it is very suitable for the elderly to use, it can be seen that Zhen Jun also spent a lot of thought, This crutch is by no means under the brocade of the Mi family, Zhen Jun did not forget to look at his sister and smile slightly before going to the living room after the ceremony, and the two of them understood it.
Looking at this scene, Fang Xian'er, Qin Yuyao and Liu Ruyan were all quite envious in their hearts, although Liu Yi's love for his wives and concubines was not superior, but there were some things that he could not change, the status of the three daughters of Fang, Qin and Liu at home was indeed lower than that of Mi Zhen and Zhen Mi, even in the eyes of Liu's mother and Cai Yan, the only exception was Yu'er, in addition to the status of the eldest brother Zhang Hu and Liu Huan and the son of the Liu family, when she knew Liu Yi in a small way, she relied on her greatest, of course, such envy will not turn into jealousy, The three daughters know that their origins can't be compared with the rest, and it is a great luck to be favored by Liu Yi, and now they just want to give birth to flesh and blood for their husbands!
This time Zhang Hu specially asked his wife Huang Fuling to come to congratulate him in person, in addition to Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other family members also came to congratulate, for them Cai Yan showed more affection, so that Gan Ning's wife Wang Xinran and Zhao Yun's wife Ma Yunlu introduced them into the inner courtyard to sit, and the ladies will have a banquet here.
"Wuhuan leaders Hu Yanyu, Tu Ge Hu, Tu Ge Leopard, and Tu Ge Biao are here!" After the flow of people gradually decreased, Liu Yi's group of alien brothers also entered Liu's mansion, they only arrived today, when the Yan County War, Liu Yi captured them all, but later it was friendly with it, communicating with each other, Wuhuan tribe is developing with it, after Liu Yi ran to the wolf and fought two battles against the Huns, they replaced its position as the overlord of the grassland, Hu Yanshuo also married the princess of the Han Dynasty, and married his sister Huyan Xiaoduo to Liu Yi's general Tai Shici!
In the past few months, Hu Yanshuo lingered on the sickbed, and it was difficult to travel far, so he let his eldest son Hu Yanyu come for him, which was born to his first wife, not a princess, and now he was just eighteen, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, tall, extremely strong, and was specially sent to Youzhou Academy by his father a few years ago, and the Tuge brothers and others have always had great respect for Liu Yi, the eldest brother, and also came together.
"Hu Yanyu kowtowed to the old man on behalf of his father." Hu Yanshuo is the leader of Wuhuan, although this Hu Yanyu is the younger generation of the Tuge brothers, but he also stepped forward to salute first, the majestic body knelt on the ground and seemed that the whole hall was shaken, he was also real, after kneeling down, there were a few strong heads, and the stone slabs on the ground had echoes, and Liu's mother hurriedly ordered someone to help him up.
"Tu Ge Hu, Tu Ge Leopard, Tu Ge Biao give birthday greetings to the eldest mother, my eldest brother is a hero of the world, and your old man is like a white cloud in the sky that makes people admire." These three brothers also knelt down to speak, originally not the younger generations of the Liu family don't need to be like this, and there is no etiquette on the grassland, but the three brothers admire Liu Yi very much, and sincerely regard him as a big brother, after learning the etiquette of the Han people, Liu Yi's mother is their mother, what's the big deal about kowtowing to his mother, especially Tu Ge Biao, this simple man is not bald head knock is like Hu Yanyu is louder, but he sang a song to Liu's mother in the hall, although I don't know what he sings, but his strong voice is extremely beautiful, This is a way of showing respect among their clan, and Tu Ge Biao is indeed sincere.
Their brothers sent some animal skins and fine medicinal materials, the winter in Beiping is extremely cold, these are the best materials as cold things, although these alien men are a little scary at first glance, but Mother Liu is very familiar with them, in their eyes can easily see that kind of sincerity, they have to get up and help each other, how can the three brothers let her be so?
"Auntie, Ah Biao brought a good thing to your old man and sisters-in-law this time, I spent a lot of money to ask for it when I was in the Western Regions, and no one knows me here." Tu Gebiao had a simple temperament, got up and helped Liu's mother take out a jade box from his arms, and said very arrogantly.
"If you have this heart, you can do it, as long as it is the eldest lady you send, you like it." If you want to say that the title of this eldest lady is still Tu Ge Biao's originality, his idea is very simple, Liu Yi is the eldest brother, and the eldest brother's mother is the eldest mother, this back and forth is used to shouting, the three brothers are called so, they have lost their mother since childhood, and they are indeed true to Liu's mother, and the old lady also calls herself this in front of them.
"No, no, you see, auntie, I guarantee that no one knows here." Tu Ge Biao opened the jade box like a treasure, and suddenly a burst of strange fragrance spread throughout the hall, smelling Mo is not the heart and lungs are smooth, and then look at the one-foot jade box side by side with five white flowers like jade, look at the fresh look as if it has just been picked off, but it is indeed no one can recognize, listen to Tu Ge Biao said that it is taken from the Western Regions, but I don't know how to preserve it so well, seeing everyone's surprised looks, Tu Ge Biao is even more complacent, the preparation of this gift he has worked hard.
"Brother Biao, what the hell is this, I really don't know, tell me." Everyone in the Liu family has always known that this Tu Ge Biao is a living treasure, and this thing does attract the attention of everyone, especially women, at this time Cai Yan smiled slightly and said.
"Hahaha, I'll just say it, I don't even know a character like my sister-in-law, and my eldest brother definitely doesn't know either, auntie, listen to me, this thing is called ......"
"Tianshan Snow Lotus, born in the extremely cold place of the Tianshan Mountains, the function of nourishing the skin, has the effect of rejuvenating the skin, once this thing leaves the flower stem, it will wither, unless it is preserved with a good warm jade, although this thing is rare, but if no one knows it, it is too much." Before he could speak, a pleasant female voice sounded, and everyone knew from Tu Ge Biao's stunned expression that what this person said was true, and there was no one else present who could have such skills except for Wang Xinran, the true disciple of Gan Ning's wife, Medicine King? She had just come from the inner courtyard, and when she smelled this strange fragrance, she felt something different, and when she stepped forward to see it, she knew that this thing was extremely rare, and she said it so easily to hit Tu Ge Biao.
"You, how do you know." Tu Ge Biao was a little stupid for a while, and asked with a na.
"Brother Ah Biao, this is the good wife of my second uncle Gan Ning." Cai Yan said aside, but at this time her mind was also attracted by this snow lotus, Fang Cai Wang happily said that this thing has the effect of rejuvenating the face, she knows the origin of this brother and sister in her heart, and the understanding of medicinal materials is that Mr. Hua Tuo admires her very much, this word from her mouth must not be wrong, how can a woman not cherish her face, this thing is a priceless treasure for them, even a steady person like Cai Yan is not exempt from vulgarity, and the eyes of the rest of the women looking at this jade box have also become extremely enthusiastic.
