Although itâs not a big deal, it only invites in laws and friends. At least twenty-four tables are needed. This number is beyond Ninghaiâs expectation.
Knowing this, Ninghai was very unhappy and said, âdidnât it say that we canât have more than 20 tables?â Itâs totally against Yin and Yang that my son does this.
Ning Zhan said with a smile, âDad, itâs my sonâs fault. I didnât control the number of good people.â His father is also too low-key, such as the 70th birthday is a big event, and thereâs nothing to say about the imperial history. Life, but only one seventy.
In the past two years, Chouâs government has opened 60 tables for its 90th birthday.
Xiao said unhappily, âmy son is busy to give you a birthday. You donât want to worry about his hard work. He is still looking for problems. You old man, the more difficult it is, the more difficult it is to serve you. â
Ninghai was upset when his wife pulled him down. âHum, I canât even say two words about him now?â
Ning Zhan remembers that Qi you said the old man wanted to coax him. He said with a smile: âmother, this time itâs my son who doesnât do everything well. Mother blame, also should Anyway, I will not lose a piece of meat if I am recited.
Xiao laughed and scolded, âyouâll get used to him!â
Ninghaiâs cheeks are all puffed up: âcan you speak?â He is not a child.
In the afternoon, Zeng Chenfu showed the menu to the old couple.
There are no delicacies on the menu, they are just ordinary dishes. Ninghai saw it, very satisfied. But for a birthday party, donât make it too high-profile.
Put down the menu, Ninghai asked: âah Zhuangâs business, or no eyebrows?â
Zeng Chenfu said: âDad, ah Zhuang is now observing filial piety, so itâs not good to say it openly.â Although Ninghai said that as long as the girl is capable and good-natured and has a good temper, ah Zhuang is going to take an official career in the future, and he must find a wife who is helpful to him. However, all the ladies in the capital know about Dafang, and Zhuang brothers are not particularly outstanding. Itâs not so easy to find someone who meets their requirements.
Ninghai said, âChenfu, you and zhanâer are more interested in ah Zhuangâs business.â
âDonât worry, Dad. Iâll look at Zhuang with my heart.â If we donât pay attention, weâll see where we can use it now.
Ninghai thought for a moment and said, âChenfu, I hope to see Zhuang marry his wife before I close my eyes.â
Zeng Chenfu was shocked and said, âDad, you will live a long life.â
Ninghai said, âdonât live so long. Itâs too much suffering. Itâs earned to live to this age. I donât worry about you and a Zhan. The only thing I canât rest assured about now is ah Zhuang. â
Zeng Chenfu said, âdonât worry, Dad. I will help Zhuang Geâer see each other well before he is filial.â First coax the old man to be happy, when the road has not been chosen, there is no way.
Ninghai nodded slightly.
On the birthday feast, Qiyou and Qixuan come to congratulate him personally. Qi Rui and jujube who are not in Beijing also let the younger generation come.
Seeing Qixuan, Ninghai said, âah Xuan, my uncle is seventy years old this year, and he hasnât had a few days to live. A Xuan, can you draw a self portrait for my uncle He also wants to leave his majestic and heroic appearance to future generations to look up to, rather than this old-fashioned look.
Qixuan did not refuse, but said: âuncle, I have two unfinished paintings on hand. When these two paintings are finished, I will draw them for you. â
âNo problem, no problem.â Can let open Xuan agree, also occupied the convenience on the identity. If not, how can we get a picture! But he knew that many people wanted to ask Qixuan for paintings, but he refused.
Just as he was saying this, he heard the housekeeper rush over and reply: âthe Marquis, the emperor and the Empress Dowager are here.â Since abdication, Yunqing and Yuxi have rarely appeared in public. The last time I saw her, it was on Mrs. Hanâs ninetieth birthday.
Ninghai listened and went out to meet people.
Qixuan was surprised and asked Qiyou, âdo you know that my parents are coming to congratulate my uncle on his birthday?â
Qi you said softly, âif I knew, I would come with my parents.â Mom and dad really are. Itâs necessary to keep this kind of thing secret!
Ninghai see two people, kneeling on the ground to salute, Yuxi hurried forward to help him up: âuncle, today regardless of the monarch and minister, on the family.â
Yuxi helped Ninghai into the house.
Ninghai didnât want to be the first one. Yuxi said with a smile, âyou are the elder, and today you are the old longevity star. You should sit on the first one.â
No, Ninghai can only sit down.

After all the people sat down, Qiyou said: âfather, mother, uncleâs seventy birthday, you didnât prepare for the empty handed greeting?â
Ninghai hurriedly said, âIâm very happy when people come.â He held the birthday party for a family reunion, not for greeting.
Qiyou said with a smile: âmy uncle, my mother has some rare treasures. No, youâve lost a lot. â
Yunqing glared at him and said, âthey are all protecting their own people. If you do well, turn your elbow out.â If itâs not for the wrong occasion, Iâll definitely teach the rabbit a lesson.
Kai you is not afraid at all, saying, âmy uncle is not an outsider.â In addition to their grandmother, Qiu, Ninghai is their only elder generation.
Ninghai said with a smile, âmy uncle likes to hear this. Ah you, since you say itâs a family, itâs too much to say itâs gift giving. â
Qi you knew Yuxiâs disposition and said with a smile: âNiang, donât hide and hold it any more, hurry to show us the gift you prepared.â At the ninetieth birthday of Qiushi, Yuxi sent Qiushi a jade Guanyin with sheepskin and a pair of double-sided embroidered embroidery, which was embroidered with nine longevity characters before and after.
Of course, this embroidery is not made by Yuxi. It hurt her eyes to do needlework. Even if she wanted to embroider Yunqing, she would not allow it.
Yuxi takes a look at Qiyou and smiles to let his entourage take out the prepared gift.
Looking at a scroll, Qiyou went up to take it and said, âIâll open it.â
Qixuan also came forward to help.
After spreading out, I found that it was a picture of words. However, the word âflying dragon and flying phoenixâ is not known by many people in the house.
Yuxi saluted Ninghai and said, âYuxi wishes uncle Fu a better life than Nanshan.â
Ninghai laughed and couldnât close his mouth: âgood, good, good. This gift is very much to my heart. â Gold, silver, jewelry and so on. Heâs not rare. On the contrary, it is the ink of Yuxi, which is very rare.
Yuxiâs cursive script is excellent, which is known by the whole country. But she can not count all the people who can get her calligraphy. This shows how precious it is.
After a little conversation, itâs time to open the table.
After eating, Yunqing and Yuxi go back. The two brothers, Qiyou, also followed.
Chunni asked Ninghai, âis that the Empress Dowager who was sitting next to you?â Although Chunni has a high number of generations, Zeng Chenfu didnât arrange her to be the chief but the second seat, for fear that she would offend Yuxi.
Chunni has no problem with the arrangement. She doesnât dare to be with these noble people. Sheâs very uncomfortable!
Looking at the unbelievable Chunni, Ninghai said with a smile, âitâs the empress dowager, whatâs the matter?â
âKuizi, I heard that the Empress Dowager has more than 60 years. But the person sitting next to you just now not only has fair skin but also dark hair. It looks like itâs in its early forties. â Because of this, she couldnât believe that it was the Empress Dowager.
More than 60 must have wrinkles, but because of the makeup and Chunni in the distance to see, also did not see.
Ninghai chuckled: âthatâs because the Empress Dowagerâs wife has a good way of maintenance and a good way of keeping her face.â
