Chapter 2461 The Sixth Sense (Update 1)
In the hall, although it is daytime, it is also decorated with lanterns and colorful palace lanterns hanging under the beams.
On the table, there is a red candle as thick as a child's arm, and the candlelight is swaying.
The longevity peach buns are piled up like a hill, and other melon and fruit snacks are also available.
Dignified guests were everywhere, chatting and laughing, and the maids shuttled around like colorful butterflies, pouring tea and water.
Yang Ruoqing followed Lao Yangtou and his party and walked towards their place. She glanced around and saw that there were quite a few guests coming to attend the birthday banquet.
Looking at these attires, they all appear to be rich or noble. They are probably rich squires from this area of Yuncheng.
A skinny camel is better than a horse. This is true when applied to the Yang family in Yuncheng. However, why were the officers and soldiers guarding the gate so unconvinced when they entered the gate of Yuncheng? Woolen cloth?
This doesn’t make sense!
With doubts, Yang Ruoqing sat down in her seat.
"This Yuncheng is really a big place. It is really incomparable to our Qingshui Town. Look at these guests who come to celebrate their birthdays. They all seem to be very rich!"
Yang Huamei He gently touched Yang Ruoqing's arm and whispered.
Yang Ruoqing also took a look at the guests sitting opposite who were chatting, and said: "These people don't look like businessmen, and they don't smell like copper."
"Is he an official?" Yang Huamei asked again.
Yang Ruoqing also shook her head. Not only did she have no official power, but underneath her exaggerated talking and smiling face, there was an unconcealable servility that could not be concealed.
Yang Ruoqing was slightly surprised by her own idea.
I don’t know how she came up with such an idea, but she believed in her sixth sense.
Could it be that these people are here to curry favor with the old man of the Yang family?
Well, it has nothing to do with me anyway. I came here to celebrate my birthday. I should eat and drink. When I am full and drunk, I will go back to the backyard to take a nap.
When I woke up, I made an appointment with Fifth Aunt and Aunt Meier to go shopping on Yuncheng Street in the afternoon.
More and more guests are coming, some with children.
Among the crowd, Yang Ruoqing saw a man who finally looked wealthy and reeked of copper.
The man is short, fat and ugly, but the clothes he wears are the best in this hall.
The whole body is made of silk and satin, and a gold chain as thick as a dog chain hangs around his neck. He walks sideways like a crab.
Beside him was a little boy of six or seven years old, who was also a real fat guy.
His facial features were exactly the same as that of that man.
“I thought my little Hei was the fattest. When I saw this child, I felt that my Little Hei was too thin.”
Besides, Yang Huamei’s voice spoke again passed into Yang Ruoqing's ears.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help laughing, "Auntie, when did you talk so funny?"
Yang Huamei also smiled, "I'm serious, you say, this kid from a rich family What are you eating? It can really grow into a ball!”
"Auntie, not only children from rich families can gain weight, but children from poor families can also gain weight. Think about you and me before." Yang Ruoqing said.
Yang Huamei was stunned for a moment, then smiled even more happily.
"Your name is Fat Ya, and I am a meatball. Hey, at that time, now that I think about it, it really felt like a dream!" she said.
“Many times now I see the clothes I wore at that time. Oh my god, they could be cut into sheets.”
“Fortunately, I felt comfortable wearing them at that time. , Hey..."
Yang Huamei shook her head, she was scared by herself. Here, Mrs. Liu also leaned into Yang Huaming's ear.
"Who is that big fat man? I see that Brother Wenxuan is extra enthusiastic about him. Does it have a big reason?" she asked.
Yang Huaming said: "Yesterday, Brother Wenxuan and I were drinking in a restaurant, and we met this fat man, Mr. Fang from the Fang family in Yuncheng."
"I heard he is very rich. , All the shops on two streets in Yuncheng belong to his family," he said.
"Ah, so rich!" Ms. Liu was shocked.
Narrowing his eyes again to look at Mr. Fang and the child brought by Mr. Fang, Mrs. Liu could not help but mutter to Yang Huaming: "Why is this rich man so fat? Not only himself but also He’s fat and ugly, and that kid is also fat and ugly.”
“It turns out he’s his son. He’s so ugly. How old is he? How can he be so fat when he grows up? You can't even get in!" she said.
Yang Huaming felt the same way, but he turned his head and glared at Mr. Liu who was about to put his mouth on his face.
"Can you please keep your voice down? If you have anything to say, say it when you go back. Don't keep pointing fingers, or you will be overheard later and offend others!" He shouted to Ms. Liu in a low voice.
"If you don't say it, don't say it. Why are you so mean? Really!" Madam Liu curled her lips and sat back.
I guess the guests had almost arrived, so Yang Wenxuan helped the old man of the Yang family come over.
All the hustle and bustle in the hall temporarily stopped, and both eyes turned to the old man of the Yang family, who was the protagonist today.
The old man of the Yang family was wearing brand new clothes, and his hair had obviously been carefully taken care of. He looked very energetic, as if he was several years younger.
He sat down on the main seat surrounded by everyone's eyes, raised his hands and arched his hands towards the guests from all directions, and said some polite words like thank you, thank you all for coming to support.
Then receive congratulations from all directions.
Yang Ruoqing ate a snack, took a sip of tea, and watched with interest the process of Yang Wenxuan organizing birthday greetings.
In this large family, there are indeed many rules, and they are very complicated.
Hearing Yang Wenxuan's arrangements there, Yang Ruoqing felt a little dizzy.
But it doesn’t matter, she is just waiting to be arranged, and she will just go through the motions with everyone when she goes up to pay her birthday and kowtow.
In the front, the birthday greeting process was going on in the same way.
The relatives of the Yang family, the younger generations of relatives and friends, came forward one after another reading the list.
While presenting the prepared gifts, he knelt on the futon prepared in advance and kowtowed to the old man of the Yang family.
Among them, the old man of the Yang family should be the oldest. In this era, it is really not easy to live to be 70 years old.
So everyone shouted "old man" and "old birthday boy" one after another.
The old man of the Yang family was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.
Then, it was the turn of the old Yang family to pay their birthdays.
First, Yang Huazhong and his generation, as the nephews of the old man, came forward one by one with gift boxes from each family in their hands.
After celebrating their birthday, they handed over the birthday gifts they brought to the steward.
Next are Yang Yongxian and Daan’s nephews and grandnephews.
Yang Ruoqing, Bao Suyun, Yang Huamei and Liu came to the old man of the Yang family one after another.
