Chapter 128 128 Birthday Banquet
"Lan is old." The old man Lan was not in a wheelchair, and walked slowly with the support of Mulberry Ye. Half a step behind him was Lan Tianqin and Mulberry, and behind him was Weizhou.
The little girl is well-behaved and cute, and the two boys are elegant and handsome. Such a combination is still very seductive.
Mr. Lan has a good reputation in the circle, and he is very concerned about his affairs.
Everyone knew that he was paralyzed in bed, but he didn't expect to come today and walk by himself.
His eyes couldn't help but be filled with surprise and curiosity.
Mr. Lan did not announce whether he was poisoned or detoxified. The outside world only knew that he was sick and paralyzed.
The person behind the scenes has not been caught yet, and Li Gan was also delayed in helping to investigate Sun Liang because of the matter of Lao Sang's family.
Originally, it was not good for Mr. Lan to appear in the public eye at this time, to alert the people behind him, or to use dirty tricks again.
The old man also paid a lot for the Sang family.
"Old Lan, why are you here?" Mo Xunli was only a few years younger than Old Man Lan, so he was considered to be of the same generation.
The two of them have also been on the battlefield together, worked together, they can be regarded as colleagues, and they are life and death comrades.
Personality and habits are very close, very easy to chat with, is a close friend.
Old man Lan was ill. He visited him several times. Seeing his old friend lying on the hospital bed dying, Mo Xunli felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for a while, his old friend recovered and came to the banquet, how could he not be surprised.
Quickly walked towards Mr. Lan.
Mo Xunyi and his brother and Mr. Lan did not follow the same path, and they did not overlap in business.
But in private, they were considered familiar, and followed Mo Xunli to greet him.
The brothers of the Mo family look very similar, and the age difference is not too big. They look like twins.
He is about 170 centimeters tall, with fair skin, looks youthful, and has a rounder figure.
However, Mo Xunli went to the army, and Mo Xunyi went to politics. They have different approaches and different temperaments. One is resolute and the other is smooth.
Old Master Lan and Mo Xunli are familiar with each other, and they speak casually.
"Why, you are not welcome."
"Welcome, welcome, my brother is here, I welcome you very much. Who are these two unfamiliar little comrades?"
Mo Xunli knew Lan Tianqin, and Lan Tianqin called someone when Mo Xunli looked over.
Mr. Lan patted Sang Ye's arm, and introduced with a smile: "It's a lovable junior at home. I brought you here to see the world. Is it okay?"
"It doesn't matter. If you can win the love of the old brother, you must be a well-behaved boy. Let's go and sit inside and chat slowly. I am really surprised to see you here. Are you in good health?"
Mo Xunli personally supported the other hand of Old Man Lan, and led everyone in.
The old man smiled and said: "Old man, old man, his body is not as good as before, but he is fine for the time being, and he has a few years to live."
"That's a great thing. I'll come to the door again after I've finished my work. Let's have a good chat."
"Okay, the two of us are still the same as before, with a stack of peanuts, a pot of small wine, and a long talk all night."
"That's a good relationship."
The two brothers talked and laughed and walked in.
Lan Tianqin looked at Mulberry, and said in a low voice, "Is my grandpa just thinking about it?"
Mulberry raised her eyebrows: "It can be satisfied."
Lan Tian is very happy. If the old man knows, he will be too happy to fall asleep.
Walking into Mo's house, the mulberry and mulberry leaves that came for the first time can be regarded as a lot of experience.
Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, rockery gardens, countless criss-crossing verandahs, carved beams and painted buildings, beautiful is beautiful, but it makes people dizzy.
It’s really easy to get lost if no one takes it.
The banquet is held in Erjin.
Today is not like in ancient times, men and women are on their own side.
The defense of men and women is not so strict, everyone is in the same yard, talking and laughing.
However, when arranging seats, try to separate tables for men and women.
Tables will also be divided according to age. A boy as old as Lan Tianqin will sit with his peers who are about the same age.
Mo Xunli took Mr. Lan to the main table, and was called away after just a few words.
The three of Mulberry stayed with the old man temporarily, looking around the banquet hall, looking for the person they were looking for.
Old Master Lan said: "The older generation like Sang Lao will not come out for the time being, or may never come out. They will open a separate table in Mo Lao's residence."
"One of them is relatively old and inconvenient, and the other is their status. If they come out, it may make everyone uncomfortable."
"Mr. Mo may come out to meet the guests later. Don't worry, just look for opportunities. It doesn't matter if you don't see him today. He will stay in the compound in the future. The old man will definitely go back."
Mulberry and Mulberry leaf nodded, and the somewhat irritable mood gradually calmed down.
In the backyard, Mr. Mo's residence, Mr. Sang's patched clothes are completely different from the well-dressed appearance of everyone at the banquet.
Casual to the point of anger, with black lines all over Bao Can's face, he didn't know what to say.
He mentioned several times to buy some new clothes for the old man, or to buy cloth, and it is also possible to ask someone to do it.
The old man is stubborn, he is not willing to spend that wronged money, saying that his clothes can still be worn, and he does not want new ones.
The fastidious old man Mo's eyes hurt from watching it, that is, old man Sang, if it's someone else, see if he can't bear it, and ask someone to fork it out every minute.
There are five old men and one old lady present here, all of them are of the older generation like Sang Laomo, who have retired and lived at home for the rest of their lives.
Generally, I seldom go out, and I don’t get involved in outside affairs. I only take a trip because of old friends’ birthdays.
Everyone knew Mo Lao's preferences, and they all dressed up in neat clothes specially for the birthday boy.
Unlike Sang Lao, who dresses like an old beggar and is as stubborn as a bull.
Fortunately, everyone knows him well, and they don't despise him, let alone talk about him.
The old man doesn't care what he wears, what other people think, his own comfort is the most important thing.
Sitting with no posture, he slumped on the chair as if he had no bones, knocking on the peanuts a little irritablely.
He was the most impatient sitting so boring, if it wasn't for Mr. Mo glaring at him from time to time, he might have run away long ago.
Yu Meng was also irritable. She never expected that Wei Song really asked her to do odd jobs.
Help move ingredients, wash dishes, clean up, do what you don’t need technology, just use her as a cheap coolie.
It's a pity that her exquisite attire has long been disheveled and lost its brilliance.
Yumeng was so angry that she was half dead, but she didn't dare to attack. The money was spent and the work was done. It can't be that nothing is done, otherwise it is thanks.
I don't know if Meng Shichun has arrived, she is going crazy.
Meng Shichun, whom Yumeng missed, arrived, following Meng Tianshou.
There are so many descendants of the Meng family, but she was the only one who came out on top, and she also played a lot of tricks when she followed to the banquet.
The Meng family's reputation in the circle is really bad.
However, it is true that the Meng family is powerful.
It is not necessary, no one wants to tear themselves apart with the Meng family.
All maintain superficial peace and friendship.
Seeing Meng Tianshou, Mo Xunli naturally needs to meet him personally.
"Welcome, Mr. Meng, welcome, niece of the Meng family."
"Hello, Uncle Mo Shi."
"Okay, please come inside." Mo Xunli was warm and polite, not as casual and familiar as when he was with Mr. Lan, and went in to welcome the two of them.
Meng Tianshou wore a gentle and kind smile throughout the whole process, and his every move was very polite. Under the cover of the hat, there is no trace of vicious nature.
With Meng Tianshou's level, he will naturally be at the same table with Mr. Lan.
But everyone knows about the relationship between the Lanmeng family, and Mo Xunli is also a good person, so naturally he won't pretend to be stupid and arrange the two of them together.
After entering the second entrance, I want to take Meng Tianshou to the next table. They are all seated by seniors of the same level, and there is no distinction between high and low.
However, when Meng Tianshou saw Mr. Lan, he walked over and sat down beside him.
Compared to Mo Xunli, Meng Tianshou seems to be much more familiar with Mr. Lan.
With a gentle smile and concern: "Lao Lan, long time no see, are you feeling better?"
Mr. Lan is also a good person. He disdains Meng Tianshou in his heart, ridicules, and resents him, but on his face, he laughs heartily: "Blessings that drag you, I can barely live a few more years."
"That's a big happy event, are you prepared to treat the guests to be lively? Don't forget my old friend when the time comes."
"I haven't thought about treating guests. It's not a big deal. We pay attention to hard work and simplicity, and don't do that. But, you old friend, I will never forget you."
"That's great."
The two old men come and go with smiles on their faces. For those who don't know, they really feel that they are close friends.
Mo Xunli got a signal from Old Master Lan and has already left.
Meng Shichun obediently accompanied Meng Tianshou, and looked at the mulberries and mulberry leaves calmly.
Whoever appears in the Lan family will not escape the eyes of the Meng family.
She naturally knew about these two mud-legged people from the countryside.
But she didn't take it to heart, she was just a grasshopper that couldn't jump, and didn't deserve her attention.
But Lan Sui, this old thing, is really living and going back. He even brought such a mud leg to the banquet. I don't know if the other descendants of the Lan family will be happy if they know about it.
So, although the Meng family took action against Lao Sang's family, Meng Tianshou and Meng Shichun didn't know that Mulberry Ye Sangshen was the one they punished.
Speaking of it, this is also an insult to Lao Sang's family.
A kind of high-ranking person, dismissive of ordinary civilians.
Mulberry leaves and mulberries really hate the Meng family now.
It’s not because of the Meng family’s targeting, the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. They understand this truth very well, can understand it, and accept it.
Because of their self-confidence and oppression, they are only temporary, and they can stand up with their own abilities, making the Meng family not worth mentioning.
It's just that the Meng family shouldn't let Yuzhi's body suffer another point. This is the root of their hatred.
Lan Tianqin always pays attention to the reactions of the brothers and sisters, for fear that they will lose their composure and give the Meng family an excuse to attack them.
However, Mulberry Mulberry Leaf is more stable than Lan Tianqin thinks, and will endure. They are not stupid, and even very smart.
When hunting in the mountains, the most important thing is not to have good hunting skills, but to be able to hide yourself.
They can disguise themselves as any beast, and easily sneak into the herd and attack.
It can hide all its breath and avoid the tracking of wild animals.
They were even trained to boil eagles by Sang Dazhuang. Few people can match that endurance.
So, forbearance and camouflage are not difficult for them.
In fact, Mr. Lan was also worried, but fortunately, the brothers and sisters did not respond.
However, after staying for a long time, I was afraid that they would reveal their secrets, so I said: "You children can't stay here, go play by yourself, don't go far."
"Okay," the three nodded obediently and left. They also wanted to see if they could find the trace of Mr. Sang.
Thank you for the cute tip o(^▽^)o
