Scumbag makeover

In Yasukuni, from the emperors and generals to the common people, respect for the elderly is regarded as a virtue, and celebrating the birthday of the elderly is one of the most important manifestations.

There are more filial sons in Yasukuni, and birthday celebration has become a kind of fashion and virtue in the dynasty. If there are centenarians in the family who can provide for them, it means that the family lives well and manages the family well. 60 years old is the first hurdle for the elderly, so in Jingguo, the [-]th birthday of the elderly will be held very grandly, Anfu is also a big family in Luoyang, and Anfu's family likes appearance skills, so this birthday banquet is natural It is extremely luxurious.

There is an endless stream of guests coming to Anfu to celebrate his birthday. Father An and An Jinyang have opened the mansion ten and a half months ago to receive them. Today's birthday is full of people, and Anfu still needs to provide a Zhuangzi for the guests at night. They are used for accommodation.

According to the Yasukuni tradition, the more guests celebrating birthday, the more blessings the old birthday star will have. The old lady is old, and she does not lack this little money. The son and daughter-in-law are filial, and they will organize such a lively and festive birthday For the banquet, the old lady was very happy. She got up early in the morning and tossed about until now, but she is still very happy, so happy that she can't close her mouth from ear to ear.

Wei Shuangxing sat at the end of the next first seat. I don't know if the person who arranged the seat did it intentionally. Wang Xing, the concubine of the Wang family who had no friendship with Anfu, was arranged next to Wei Shuangxing. The time and day were just right. Wei Shuangxing believed it was a coincidence.

The person in charge of arranging the seats is the Bai family, the person in charge of the inner house of Anfu.

The culture of heaven and dynasty is extensive and profound, and this birthday banquet is also exquisite everywhere, down to every centimeter, dish and bowl. Even the teacup in Wei Shuangxing's hand is specially painted with exquisite gold-plated flowing clouds and white blessings. The tea leaves are also exquisite. The top-quality Huangshan Maofeng, the wine is said to be specially prepared by the third lady Yan in the mansion. The age is probably more than ten years old. The old lady Qi is sitting on the birthday banquet, wearing five blessings The skirt embroidered with longevity borrows the homonym of Fulu, plus longevity peaches embroidered with gold thread, together with the Qianshou picture hanging on the high hall behind, all of which imply longevity and prolongation of life.

Wei Shuangxing was not in the mood to watch this luxurious and exquisite feast of fossils. There was an empty seat on his right hand side, which was reserved for An Jinyang. Unfortunately, An Jinyang accompanied An's father in and out of reception guests early in the morning. They didn't even take a breath, the two of them didn't even meet each other all day.

Wei Shuangxing felt that he was a death row prisoner who was about to go to the gallows, and the surrounding noise was very noisy, which made him restless and unable to calm down to think about things at all.Wei Shuangxing wished that this protracted banquet would end immediately, so he could go to An Jinyang immediately, and then take him away directly, and ask him to understand.

Mrs. Qi sat on the left and right of Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Gao, and An Jinwen sat on the side with Mrs. Gao. Thinking about Mrs. Bai's daughter-in-law, she is usually virtuous and virtuous, and she can see through people's thoughts. The wife is happy, and now just picking out some festive things to say one by one, the old lady can't hold her mouth from ear to ear.

Wei Shuangxing didn't listen to a single sentence, and felt that Mrs. Bai really had a delicate heart. Whatever the old lady liked to hear, she could spit out what she said.

Then An Jinwen said something mysteriously, causing the old lady to say that Jin Wen is a little shrewd ghost, and cheerfully said that the good grandson was specially sent by God to make her old lady happy.

Bai looked at Wei Shuangxing, who was absent-minded below, turned his eyes, raised his sleeves to cover his mouth, leaned into the old lady's ear and said with a soft smile, "Look, my mother is happy, my daughter-in-law also came to tell her something happy Son……"

Wang Xing pushed Wei Shuangxing lightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I will call you."

Wei Shuangxing frowned slightly when he noticed Bai's ambiguous gaze. He was in a bad mood today, but he didn't have the time to play with them to compete for favor.

Before Wang Xing finished speaking, the old lady waved to him, "Jin Qing, come and show grandma."

Wei Shuangxing suppressed the impatience in his heart, stood up and saluted the old lady respectfully, the old lady nodded with satisfaction, and beckoned him to come forward, "Jin Qing, come and sit with grandma, your mother said you and Master Fang has made friends, and even started some business with Master Fang, but is it true?"

An Jinwen next to him listened to the old lady's words, and looked at Wei Shuangxing with jealousy and hatred. When I mentioned it, I'm afraid someone would have sent someone to investigate him to the bottom of the sky. Thinking about it, this Bai family is not a cheap lamp.

Although Wei Shuangxing thought so in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face, and smiled at the old lady rather subtly, "Grandson is a petty mess, it's not worth mentioning."

Bai Shi chuckled, and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he still had something to say, it seemed that he had to be forced to show his appearance when he was doing business outside.

Wei Shuangxing is not an idiot. In ancient times, clan values ​​were all emphasized. If this matter was brought up on the table, he would have to take care of it. He would be alone and profitable. There is something about it, maybe So they all belong to Anfu.

Mrs. Bai had a good plan. Wei Shuangxing looked at Mrs. Bai who was about to talk again, and suddenly smiled at the old lady, showing her teeth, "Jinqing also has a happy event, and I want to make grandma happy."

Bai's face froze, and when he realized that Wei Shuangxing had glanced at her abdomen, he felt a little suspicious, and wanted to interrupt Wei Shuangxing as soon as his expression changed.

Wei Shuangxing pretended not to see it, curled his lips towards Bai Shi, turned his head and said to the old birthday star with surprise, "Congratulations to grandma, mother is pregnant with a baby, Jinqing will have a cute little brother soon! "

After Wei Shuangxing finished speaking, he really felt chills, but when the play started, he still had to continue singing.

Who wouldn't play dumb.

Wei Shuangxing just looked at the old lady happily, regardless of the people in the room shooting all kinds of eyes, his face was full of elation, as if he was really happy that he was about to have a younger brother.

Wei Shuangxing's words were like thunder on the ground, thanks to the great business of the Anfu family, the birthday hall was separated by a curtain into two areas, Wei Shuangxing and the others stayed inside, and Anfu's family members accounted for more than half, and the rest They are also relatives, friends and old acquaintances, otherwise they might explode, if so, it is enough for Bai Shi to feel better.

All the people were stunned for a while, and then they all stared at Bai's stomach with nothing in sight, wishing to burn a hole.

Those who don't want Bai's family to have this child are naturally full of jealousy and various thoughts.Others who watched the fire from the other side, it was just a joke.

Mrs. Bai is almost forty years old, and she is able to be a grandmother, but she is pregnant at a very old age. Although it is a happy event on the face, it is easy to say that she is locked in the room, and she will be born quietly, but it is not easy to look at her. In the eyes of those who are pleasing to the eye, it is disrespectful to the old and drowning people with spittle. Half of the people in this hall think so. Yan's and Xiao's pretty faces are full of irony and contempt for jokes, but Tibetans Didn't hide, rushed up and came to congratulate twice.

Bai's face was so dry that his face turned blue and then pale. When he felt a little pain in his lower abdomen, he panicked and took a few breaths secretly to calm down. After a while, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his hands, and looked gloomyly. After watching Wei Shuangxing for a while, he endured it first and turned to explain to the old lady.

Wei Shuangxing glanced at the stiff-faced Bai Shi, and sneered in his heart, I'm not happy today, you have to come to my door, playing with you can be regarded as a relief.

Although the old lady had a smile on her face and told Bai Shi to pay more attention to her body, her interest was obviously not high.

The old man felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this from Wei Shuangxing's mouth. The daughter-in-law came here every morning and evening to pay her respects, but as a mother, she didn't even know about such a big thing later than the juniors here. I think the daughter-in-law who came here purposely hid it from her old lady. Second, she only found out a few months ago that her fourth grandson had a son. The Bai family, who is an elder, actually produced a younger one, which is a bit out of order. nice.

The old lady was angry with Mrs. Bai, and seeing that Wei Shuangxing seemed to really like having a younger brother, she didn't blame him for what happened just now. Instead, she thought that if the grandson hadn't told her the news, she wouldn't have been punished by her daughter-in-law. How long will you keep it a secret?

Thinking of this, the old lady looked at Wei Shuangxing with a little more kindness in her eyes, "My good grandson is going to be successful this year, so, Qinger, you will follow grandma today, and will receive the gift for grandma later. See what you like, no matter what it is, grandma rewards you."

"Grandmother?" An Jinwen exclaimed, was cast a reproachful glance by Gao Shi, sat back down again, stood up again after a while, forced a smile to the old lady who came over, "Grandmother talk to mother first, Jin Wen went to get the carefully prepared birthday gift for grandma, and he would come back as soon as he went."

"Okay." The old lady heard that her grandson had prepared a surprise for herself, and just now she felt relieved of the unfavorable feelings caused by the Bai family, and said twice, "Grandson, go and come back quickly, grandma is waiting. "

Before An Jinwen left, he slashed Wei Shuangxing's eyes, and Wei Shuangxing was quite impatient. According to An's father's punishment, it's no wonder that his second brother can teach him a lesson.

Wei Shuangxing originally wanted to push back the job the old lady had given him, but seeing that Mrs. Bai followed him out not long after, he accepted it with a smile as soon as he thought about it.

An Jinwen came out of the birthday hall, walked around the courtyard wall twice, saw a maidservant in pink not far away, and remembered that it was the girl Chunjuan who had been entrusted to do things last time, and when she rolled her eyes, she called her come over.

The pink-clothed girl clearly looked like Chunjuan, but her eyes were so dark that she couldn't see the light. When she heard that An Jinwen wanted to invite her to a hidden place to talk about something, a cold light flashed in her dark eyes, and she lowered her face. Followed in a proper manner.

An Jinwen took the man to a dark place, and ordered in a low voice, "I have something to tell you to do."

Seeing that the servant girl didn't immediately respond, An Jinwen thought she was unwilling, and immediately sneered, "I know you are a celebrity around mother, but if you let mother know, you will be disobedient, let's see what mother will do deal with you."

An Jinwen paused as he spoke, and seeing the servant girl shrank back, thinking that she was afraid, she continued to threaten with complacency, "Don't you want your mother to know what happened last time?"

Chunjuan shook her head, and said in a low voice, "If you have anything to ask the second young master, just do it."

An Jinwen smiled in satisfaction, rolled his eyeballs, pondered for a while and said, "Go find some embroidery needles, they should be thin or short, and the more subtle the color, the better."

An Jinwen thought that this would take a lot of time, but unexpectedly, the maid gave him a weird smile, and then spread her palm in front of him. Inside lay a handful of silver needles as thin as cow hair. The silver needles were exquisitely made. If she hadn't looked closely, she wouldn't have been able to see it at all. Chunjuan slightly parted her red lips, and said a few words slowly, "Second Young Master, how are you?"

An Jinwen was overjoyed, and didn't wonder why the maid was carrying the silver needle with her. She just looked at it for a while, and then frowned again, "It's fine enough, but it won't end well when the time comes. .”

The birthday banquet is a good opportunity to please the old lady. An Jinwen also spent a lot of money this time. A few months earlier, his father gave him a large sum of money and prepared a pair of Buddhas of Infinite Life for him to beg the old lady. I like it, this pair of Buddhas of Infinite Life, one gold and one silver, are all real gold and silver without any fakes, and in order to show sincerity, he made this pair of gold and silver Buddhas, and he sent someone to Baita Temple to receive them. After several months of incense, I was invited back yesterday.

An Jinwen put a lot of thought into it, and the covers for the two Buddha bodies were also made extremely exquisite. They were made of hollowed-out sheets made of soft fine iron, and there were holes the size of pinholes on them, which happened to be able to be inserted firmly. Cow hair needles thinner than embroidery needles.

An Jinwen thought carefully, as long as he inserted the needle, when An Jinqing received the gift, the needle would definitely make him jump.

An Jinwen's eyes filled with complacency when he thought about it, with so many needles, it would be no wonder if that bastard didn't poke his hands away immediately!

The old ancestor had been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha for more than ten years. He believed in Buddha very much and could not tolerate any blasphemy. If An Jinqing smashed these two Buddhas at the birthday banquet, it would not be a serious crime that Father An could forgive.It is also a crime of blasphemy to the Buddha if it is not smashed several times. At that time, as long as the old lady is a little bit unhappy, just the father, he can make the father kill that bastard as long as he moves his lips.

The more An Jinwen thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, so he took a silver needle and looked carefully at the light. He originally planned to wait for An Jinqing to dump the pair of little golden Buddhas, and then let the maid rush up to clean them up, and take advantage of the absence of others. Be careful, put away the needles quietly, but there are so many, it is inevitable that no one will find out, An Jinwen frowned for a while, and asked casually, "What do you usually use it for?"

Chunjuan moved her throat and said, "Embroidery."

An Jinwen wanted to say something more, but Chunjuan continued, "Second young master, don't worry, this servant will take it to soak in the medicinal juice, when the time comes, the silver needle will melt when it is stained with blood, and there will be no trace."

"Really?" An Jinwen was overjoyed when he heard that, and he didn't doubt him, but said in surprise, "This is the first time I've heard of such a method, young master. It's really good. You should hurry up and follow in later." Serve!"

An Jinwen turned around and walked a few steps before he stopped and said, "You must not mention today's matter to anyone, otherwise, I will not know how my young master made you die."

A cold light flashed in Chunjuan's eyes, and after obediently obeying, she took the order and went to work, but in the blink of an eye, she came back again, saying that it was done.

An Jinwen made all the arrangements, and he didn't worry about other people doing it, so he just told his servants to carry the pair of little golden Buddhas to the back of the hall and put them away, and he planned to carry them in later by himself.

The congratulatory gifts of the guests are usually handed over to a special person for registration and collection when they enter the door. There are too many gifts, and the old lady needs to go back and look at them one by one before they can be received in the warehouse of Anfu.

The people in the Anfu in the birthday hall are different. The birthday old lady has to wear new clothes and sit on the birthday hall to accept the congratulations and bows from the juniors in the Anfu. Heaven and Earth toasted, and the birthday star sat down to accept the gifts from the juniors.

When An Jinwen came in, he just happened to light up the longevity lamp. An Jinwen looked at Wei Shuangxing standing next to his grandmother, and then nodded to Chun Juan'er in the corner, and then patiently finished the whole birthday celebration. ceremony.

Wei Shuangxing saw An Jinwen's frowning look, and frowned slightly. If An Jinwen really dared to do something stupid today, he would not be polite.

Everyone came up to present gifts one by one, among them An's father and Bai's family were the most thoughtful. What An's father took out were twelve volumes of filial piety books copied by himself. Heart, written with sincerity and full of emotion, the old lady's eyes were red with joy.

Bai's is a self-embroidered picture of Song He Yannian, Cranes and Deer in the same spring. This picture is embroidered on a six-foot-long brocade cloth. , I couldn't help but glanced at Mrs. Bai several times, and there was rare tenderness and admiration in the eyes, and I thought I was extremely satisfied with this gift.

The old lady was also very happy to receive such a well-prepared gift, and immediately gave the two precious brocades she received to Mrs. Bai.

Bai's one move won, his eyes turned red both in the open and in the dark.

The things that Yan's gift were quite standard, her family was also in Luoyang, and she was in the business of brewing wine, so the gift this time was naturally the thousand-year-old strong wine that she had carefully prepared.

Next is An Jinyang, with a standard calligraphy and painting painting of Songhe Yannian. The painting is exquisite and lifelike. Yang's painting has lost a lot of color. In this hall, the only person who can really see this painting is Wei Shuangxing.

Wei Shuangxing took An Jinyang's painting and looked at it again and again, and then saw that the old lady seemed to be picky, and didn't take this painting seriously, and wanted to find a chance to get this painting from the old lady later , so as not to save this calligraphy from being thrown in some corner and getting ashes some other day.

An Jinwen saw that everyone had finished presenting gifts, suppressed the tension and anticipation in his heart, looked at Wei Shuangxing and thought bitterly, last time I failed to get you a bastard, this time it will be different, the birthday of the old ancestor The banquet is not a place where you can stir up trouble.

The pair of gold and silver Buddhas prepared by An Jinwen were each the size of a small baby. He was carrying two of them, and he was out of breath after walking a few steps, but for his own plan, An Jinwen still insisted on keeping them Pass it to Wei Shuangxing.

An Jinwen never expected that Wei Shuangxing had a special physique and amazing eyesight. Even though the earrings of the mask were made of silver-white material, Wei Shuangxing could see the tiny needles inserted in it at a glance.

Wei Shuangxing could see clearly that Xindao An Jinwen had improved a lot this time, as long as he held those silver needles, human instinct alone would reflexively let go. Charge him with intentionally sabotaging the birthday ceremony out of jealousy, then An's father will probably be able to skin him tonight, and it would be relatively easy to drive him out of An's mansion.

Wei Shuangxing glanced at An Jinwen, who was slightly smug. He hadn't seen him for a long time. He really wanted to take this second brother with admiration. It seemed that being locked up in the yard for a few months was not completely useless, at least compared to Mocking and stealing poems, this time the method is much cleverer.

Wei Shuangxing glanced at An Jinwen with a smile that was not a smile, stretched out his hand to hold the ear button made of soft and refined iron, poured some internal force into his palm, and shook it lightly, Wei Shuangxing heard some slight impact sounds , just stretched out his hand to hold Kouer, and said in a calm manner, "Second brother, fourth brother hold on firmly, second brother just let go."

A smug light flashed in An Jinwen's eyes, and he really let go. Wei Shuangxing carried An Jinwen's congratulatory gift. Brother, what are you packing here?"
