Su Nuannuan hurriedly said: "Old lady, don't get me wrong. My daughter-in-law is just telling the truth, and doesn't mean to show merit for our grandfather. The real meritorious person is here." After speaking, she turned around suddenly and pulled Aunt Jing away He and Duan Xinqi sighed and said with a smile: "The grandson's daughter-in-law originally only knew how to make cakes, but the reason why she can make this big cake so dazzling and colorful is thanks to the two pairs of skillful hands of Sister Jing and Second Sister. The Songhe Yannian at the bottom was painted by sister Jing, and the second sister is even more remarkable. The old birthday star, birthday peach, and dragon-headed crutches above were all carved by her. The granddaughter-in-law saw it with her own eyes. With a few strokes, these things are obvious Outlined and then slightly sculpted, it will become more refined, but unfortunately there is not enough time, otherwise it would be more than enough to carve a pair of golden boys and jade girls."
Aunt Jing and Duan Xinqi never expected that they would be pulled out by Su Nuannuan to praise them in front of so many dignitaries, their faces turned red for a while, and Duan Xinqi kept trying to hide behind his sister-in-law, but After all, Aunt Jing had experienced big scenes before, she came to her senses after being stunned, and said with a light smile: "Grandma is really modest, if there is no cake made by her, the concubines and the second sister are useless, in fact, they are still the second sister She is so skilled, I don't know that she has this kind of skill on weekdays."
Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "So, ingenuity is really born. Aunt Lin's embroidery is very delicate, and the second sister followed her. I heard from the second sister that she only draws a few flowers for my aunt on weekdays." It looks like, I occasionally use wood to carve some flowers, flowers, birthday stars and so on to pass the boring time, who knows that today there is a place for it? The old lady said, isn’t this Shou Xing Gong carved too well?”
Mrs. Fang is an old man who looks like a human being, so she still doesn't understand what Su Nuannuan means. She sighs in her heart that this child is careful and kind, so she naturally wants to agree with her. As a result, the gazes of several noble ladies in the hallway shifted to Duan Xinqi and scrutinized him carefully. The more you look at the eyes, the more radiant they are, and some of them couldn't help but whispered to their relatives and friends beside them.
Mrs. Yang glanced at Aunt Lin behind her, and saw that the cowardly and beautiful woman was already weeping, she kept wiping with a handkerchief, but still couldn't stop, she said lightly: "Okay, there is warmth Let that child come out for a while today. You don’t have to worry about her life in the future. I’m not talking about you. Usually you, a mother, should worry more about your daughter to see how brilliant that child is today? I don't know that she is such a beauty, it's because you usually don't want to dress her up carefully. You don't even think about how old she is? In a blink of an eye, it's the age to discuss marriage, and these things are even more worrying about this sister-in-law."
Mrs. Yang is purely standing up and talking without back pain, but she is not hypocritical, she has been ignoring the affairs of the government for many years. He only maintained a superficial indifference to Liu Min and Aunt Lin, the two women who stole their husbands. Who knew what kind of life Aunt Lin, mother and son lived? That's why today I saw Duan Xinqi standing beside Su Nuannuan radiantly. So she thought it was Aunt Lin who refused to put her heart into dressing up her daughter on weekdays, but she never thought about it: Even if Aunt Lin wanted to dress up Duan Xinqi, where would she get such good materials and jewelry
Aunt Lin naturally wouldn't resent Madam Yang's words, she is a cowardly woman with low self-esteem. On the contrary, after hearing this, she was a little flattered. Nodding again and again, she said: "Yes, my wife taught me the lesson. The second girl... thanks to the eldest grandma..."
Before I finished speaking, I heard Liu Min beside me chuckled and said: "Okay, I'm so excited, I know that you are crying with joy, but I don't know, I thought you were crying on such a happy day, I don't know why How much wronged did you suffer?"
Aunt Lin was so frightened by this sentence that she quickly stopped speaking, and said repeatedly: "Mrs. Min taught me that it was the concubine who lost her composure."
Mrs. Yang glanced at Liu Min, and said calmly: "It's rare for her to see her daughter's glory once, so what's the point of losing her composure? Now who doesn't just focus on looking at the big cake? Is there any need to scare her like this?"
Liu Min pursed her lips and smiled, and said nothing, but the hatred in her heart was already overwhelming. Ever since she found out that Su Nuannuan's birthday gift to Mrs. Fang was a birthday cake, she knew that the eldest couple would surely outshine her son and daughter-in-law in the spotlight today. This birthday gift is so novel and beautiful, it is simply attracting the attention of all the people, stealing the limelight of all the birthday gifts, overshadowing one's son and daughter-in-law, this is simply killing them with a stick, not leaving Tingye and the others alive.
As he was thinking about it, he unconsciously looked in the direction of Duan Ni, the old master in the courtyard, and saw a few nobles surrounding him, talking happily, and two other people gave him thumbs up, while the husband On the other hand, he looked at the big cake with a smile on his face, stroked his beard, nodded and smiled, and his eyes were full of admiration.
Seeing this scene, Liu Min felt his eyes go dark. Could it be that his 20 years of painstaking efforts were all paid for just because of the same food? Since that woman returned to the backyard, nothing has gone smoothly. Why didn't she die in Meiyue Tower? Why come back? What about backbone? Didn't he and Duan Tingxuan have a lot of trouble that day? Why did she become a virtuous and good daughter-in-law this time around? How did Lord Pingguo give birth to such a weak thing
Mrs. Min was completely caught up in resentment with no dead ends. If no one noticed her expression, how could Mrs. Yang not see it? Forget about the joy in my heart. Secretly said that the heavens have eyes, I follow the rules, I can't please my husband, I can't compete with you, and even my son's position as the son of the world is afraid of precariousness. In the past twenty years, it can be said that I have suffered a lot. But I can't imagine that the wind and water will turn around. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, now your son and daughter-in-law are being suppressed by my son and daughter-in-law, how do you feel? Does it feel good to have lost hope? Hahaha…
Compared with the wives and concubines of the old Hou Ye, Xu Ranyun and Xue Zhilan are the ones who really have bitterness and hatred in their hearts. Only now who cares about their mood, what everyone cares about is when they will be able to eat this big cake.
Mrs. Fang was also anxious. Seeing that she was almost showing off, she coughed and said to Su Nuannuan: "Okay, how do you want to eat this? Get it down and let everyone have a taste. I will give my old lady a face to celebrate her birthday. You can’t just let people look at it but not eat it.”
Su Nuannuan smiled and said: "This is simple, sir, you are tall, so I have to trouble you to take off this layer by layer."
Duan Tingxuan nodded: "That's no problem. Qiuling, let someone move the table over, so we can share the cake in the courtyard?" The last sentence was to ask for the opinion of Mrs. Fang. Su Nuannuan took a brand-new watermelon knife in her hand, and seeing the table was set, Fang tiptoed to take off the top birthday cake.
Then quickly arranged the remaining two to six layers of cakes. There were two Eight Immortals tables side by side, but they were filled with six cakes. Duan Tingxuan then said to Su Nuannuan: "Let's cut and divide first, and then divide the last one."
"Okay, you arrange it." The eldest grandma is only in charge of making the cake, and she has completely delegated authority at this time. She saw her husband cut a piece of the birthday cake, and Honglian next to her hurriedly handed over the prepared white plate with the flat peach pattern, and he put it on the cake. After putting the cake away, I held it in front of Mrs. Fang, knelt down and said, "May your old fortune be as long as the East China Sea, and your lifespan be as long as that of Nanshan. Grandma, this is a wish from grandson and Nuannuan. Please try it." .”
"Okay! Good, good!" Mrs. Fang nodded repeatedly and took the plate. She was too embarrassed to eat it at the moment. After all, there were so many people watching, so she had to scoop a spoonful into her mouth and savor it carefully. Then he nodded sharply and said: "It's delicious, warm, this taste is not worse than ice cream at all. It's delicious, it's delicious. Xuan'er, hurry up, let everyone have a taste, this is also a fresh taste Already, adults and Your Highnesses please try something new."
Duan Tingxuan agreed, and then doggedly took the birthday cake and handed it to Qiu Ling, and said with a smile: "It's your old man's birthday, this old birthday star should naturally be yours, so we won't distinguish."
This scumbag is really on the right track, no wonder the official fortune is so prosperous, even the emperor regards him as one of his own. Su Nuannuan was slandering in her heart, and sure enough, she saw Mrs. Fang smiling so hard that her teeth could not see her eyes, she kept nodding her head and said: "Okay, okay, sure enough, it's still my good grandson who is filial to me."
Then the cake was distributed to everyone. The young master was very measured with the knife. He estimated the size of the cake and the number of people and cut it for half an hour. Finally, everyone was happy. Everyone got a share, although only A small piece, but considering more than 200 people, such a result is already very good. So everyone ate it cherishedly and praised it.
The sun was high, and although there was a pergola in the yard, the weather was still hot and tight. Duan Tingxuan wiped the sweat from his brow, looking at the empty cake base in front of him, he always felt that something was wrong, he raised his head in a daze, and seeing those people eating happily in the corridor and courtyard, the feeling of something wrong in his heart was even stronger.
Just as he was wondering, he saw his wife walking over, poking her head slightly, as if she was going to speak next to her ear. The young master was overjoyed, all doubts were put aside for the time being, and Nuan Nuan was now willing to whisper to me in public, does it mean that she is not as calm as before for me
This realization made his heart beat wildly, and the whole person seemed to be floating on the clouds, but soon, after hearing what Su Nuannuan said, he fell into the mood of being in the clouds "popping". In the abyss, the sentence is: "Idiot, you forgot to cut yourself a piece of cake."
The stability of the hand has always been the most important factor for young masters who practice martial arts. Whether it is a piece of thin paper or a piece of goose feather, or those black gold knives with meteor hammers weighing hundreds of catties in the palace arsenal, they are as stable as Mount Tai when held. However, at this moment, his hand holding the watermelon knife was trembling like a crab caught in a net of fallen leaves in the wind, and that originally happy face was gradually replaced by grief, indignation and despair.
"Calm down, Duan Tingxuan, please calm down, don't forget, this is your grandmother's birthday banquet, are you going to lose your royal demeanor just because of a piece of cake?"
