At the same time, in Fengyun Building, the birthday banquet venue, guests from inside and outside the courtyard have begun to arrive one after another, pushing the atmosphere step by step.

The hall of Fengyun Tower is much spacious than outside, enough to accommodate a feast of thousands of people. However, this kind of private family banquet only has three round tables in the middle, with only a dozen seats per table. The round table in the middle is set up for elders of the Li family, that is, brothers and sisters of the same generation as Li Tianya. Now most of them have retreated to the second line and no longer presided over the family work. A table next to it is set up for the backbone of the Li family, including Li Fengyun, who was reluctant to attend the scene and forced to die in the main position by Lu Xin with strong glue, his brothers Li Kongcheng, Li Jing and other main players of the Mesozoic generation, their respective wives, and Lingshancheng and Liantiancheng. The last table is the younger generation of Chen Qingming, including Li Xinyu, Li Chaolu, Li Wushuang, and the young children who split the family.

Less than half an hour before the birthday party began, more than half of the people had arrived at the three tables. In the venue, Lu Xin, the mistress of the courtyard house in a well-dressed manner, wandering among the tables with a gentle and graceful smile, replacing the husband who was completely unkind to the world, chatting and laughing with the elders and relatives of the Li family with mature and thoughtful etiquette, controlling the scene and rhythm.

After a few rounds, the guests, both inside and outside the courtyard, were as comfortable as the spring breeze. The petite woman could always put a piece of honey into a person's heart in a few words.

Lu Xin still seemed to be at ease when he was walking around the field - as Zhao Yan said, this is indeed her strength.

However, those close to her who are familiar with her can see some strangeness in the details. Compared to Lu Xin in normal times, she seems a little absent-minded now.

Secretly, Zhao Yan from the third room in the courtyard came over and asked softly: "Is it okay? Do you want to take a break?"

Lu Xin shook his head: "It's okay. I drank wake-up tea in the morning and didn't feel tired. But... Why haven't Qingming come yet?"

Zhao Yan said: "She didn't clearly say she was coming. The child's personality is as awkward as you. If you can't think about it, you may not come... Don't worry too much, as the mistress of the house. It's the main business to treat the guests in front of you first."

Lu Xin said a little annoyed: "My mistress has already made enough of it, the food is ready, and hello has been called. These people just sit down and eat, drink and chat by themselves. What else can I entertain?"

As he was talking, a young servant walked out of the building, breathing slightly, his face was tense, and he walked quickly towards her along the corner.

Lu Xin immediately felt his heartbeat a few beats faster.

The visitor was Li Ping, the second housekeeper who participated in the birthday party throughout the process. Although he was not very good at it, he had followed him to see the world. The ordinary scenes would not make him panic. This was obviously an important and urgent report.

And what else can be considered an important emergency today? Obviously there is only one possibility!

"Madam Qibing..."

Lu Xin interrupted anxiously: "Is Qingming here?"

"No, no..." Li Ping waved his hand in a hurry, "It's Mr. Shouyi from Lingshan City who is here."

"Li Shouyi?" Lu Xin was shocked, "Didn't you say you couldn't come before? Why... Forget it, let's have a seat on the main table first, and I'll ask you to go out to greet me. Oh, this old senior is not lying at home and running around all the time?"

At the moment of tea, Lu Xin smiled and welcomed a gray-haired and old monk into the building, arranged for him to sit down, and greeted the people around him.

Then, she immediately turned around and asked Li Ping, "Have Qingming not here yet?"

Li Ping smiled bitterly: "Miss... she has been here, and when she arrived at the courtyard, she knocked on the door, and left again. Chun Huan and the others said it was like seeing a ghost."

Lu Xin was stunned: "She... is leaving?"

As he said that, Lu Xin couldn't help but sit down, feeling the fatigue that had been coming over the past week, and even the morning's awakening tea had failed.

Although I had long expected that that guy Qingming might not come,... a week ago, she spent all her energy preparing to welcome Chen Qingming, but she walked away when she was about to enter the main entrance of the courtyard?

Why, what is wrong with the process? The preparations for this week are not meticulous and thoughtful enough? Yes, when she came just now, if I could be on the scene instead of talking nonsense with an old man from Lingshan City, I might have the chance to keep her...

In a daze, Zhao Yan came over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't think about it, there will always be a chance in the future..."

Lu Xin smiled bitterly: "In the future, the 55th birthday party or the 60th birthday party?"

However, before he finished speaking, a tall and strong servant rushed in outside the hall, and then shouted in a voice that everyone present could hear: "Miss Qingming is here!"

In an instant, countless pairs of eyes focused on the past, allowing the sturdy servant to take two steps back shyly like a girl, and look at his mistress with a look of help.

"That, Miss Qingming is here."

"I heard it!" Lu Xin waved his hand angrily and told him to get out, his heart was so mixed. Then he became even more nervous.

To be honest, if Qingming doesn't come, it will make people feel disappointed, but it will be relieved. Now that she is here, it means that every minute and every second in the next, you will have to be fully energetic and ready!

This start is already very bad.

When she was doing preparations, what she feared most was that she accidentally made things too eye-catching and stimulated the girl Qingming. However, she did not inherit the shamelessness of Chen Yue'e at all, and could not stand the fingers of others.

And now, thanks to the idiot's panic roar, everyone present knew that Chen Qingming was coming!

Lu Xin gritted his teeth and began to think hard about how to divert everyone's attention in a while so as not to embarrass Chen Qingming.

——

On the other side, Chen Qingming took Wang Jiu slowly walked on a winding path, wrapped in a colorful circle.

On the birthday party, although the outside of the courtyard was calm and calm, the lights were still decorated inside, and the gongs and drums were hustle and bustle. The servants were busy and cheerful.

No matter what Li Fengyun, as the head of the family, thinks, as the head of a wealthy family, it is destined to be impossible to spend the fiftieth birthday silently. Even if you don’t care about people outside the Li family, there are hundreds of people coming to celebrate the birthdays within the family. As one of the seven major families in Xiangzhou, the Li family has branches and leaves all over the world, and they are divided into Lingshan City, Jinyu City and even Tiancheng, and most of them are prosperous. Of course, these children of the separate families will not miss Li Fengyun’s fiftieth birthday.

There were only three banquets in Fengyun Tower as a private banquet. However, outside Fengyun Tower, there were also Yingbin Tower, Guanhai Tower, and Cangsong Tower in the courtyard, which were already crowded.

Chen Qingming was unwilling to meet these people, so he led Wang Jiu to a little bye. After two years of leaving home, the courtyard did not seem to have changed. While walking, she introduced Wang Jiu every bit of it.

"Did you see the pond there? It was the Earth Cloud Pool made by Grandpa Qianhai who took cloud marrow from the nine heavens of clouds. He raised two impermanent cloud dragons in it. It is said that Yunlong had magical powers no less than those of monks in Paishan Realm after adulthood, and was loyal to the owner. It would be better to use it to come to protect the house... Unfortunately, Grandpa Qianhai later forgot to feed it in time, and both cloud dragons starved to death."

“…”

"The Jade Rock Mountain over there is just a decoration of the courtyard from the outside. In fact, there is a universe inside, and it is a unique cave. If you approach it in a specific direction, you can enter the world in the mountains. I remember that Uncle Kongcheng stole the snacks of Aunt Zhao Yan. He was afraid of being caught, so he hid in the Jade Rock Mountain... But later Aunt Zhao Yan sealed the rockery with ghost wall-killing technique, so Uncle Kongcheng surrounded it for three months but didn't come out. There was no water or food, and he lost a lot of weight."

“…”

Chen Qingming talked and laughed, only feeling that the memories of childhood did not seem to be so painful and boring, but were filled with many laughs.

"Although for now, your joyful memories are built on the pain of others."

Chen Qingming was speechless and after a long time, he retorted: "The people in the Li family compound are more helpful."

Wang Jiu looked at the girl's eyes that deliberately left her past, then looked around the increasingly secluded surroundings, and asked, "Are you sure it's this road?"

"Of course, I just walked a little further away to avoid meeting those outsiders. This is my home, so I won't even know the way."

Wang Jiu reminded: "A month ago, Chenyuan, you almost ran to the kitchen to be presumptuous when you got up at night."

Chen Qingming suddenly blushed: "That's because I was too hungry at night and I was confused when I was sleeping, and it's not because you pumped other people's blood every day, which made me dizzy!"

"I think the safer way is to find two servants to guide you."

"No, there is no one who needs a servant to lead the way in my own house!? I am not a daughter like Lu Xin who needs a servant to accompany him when he comes in and out!"

"In fact, if I hadn't been with you as my master, you would have forgotten to bring your birthday gift."

"Can you not destroy my platform?"

——

"Ah Yeh."

In Fengyun Tower, Lu Xin couldn't help but sneeze gently in the venue.

Beside him, Zhao Yan asked with concern: "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Lu Xin shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that someone is talking about it... Why haven't Qingming arrived yet? Didn't he come a long time ago?"

"It will take time to come over from the gate of the courtyard."

Lu Xin said: "It's not a disabled person, I'm walking so slowly? I can't be lost. She hasn't been home for two years... Tsk, I should have my servant lead her."

As he said that, Lu Xin was about to stand up and ask Li Ping to lead Chen Qingming.

But the next moment she heard a familiar footstep slowly coming from the distance, and in an instant, her body became a little stiff.

Here comes!

Lu Xin tried hard to calm down his emotions and completely entered a state of war. Thanks to the idiot's roar just now, Chen Qingming came later than expected, and he would definitely become the focus of the crowd after entering the door... And she had to divert everyone's attention in time before the awkward scene happened.

However, just as Lu Xin took a breath and was about to speak, a handsome and handsome young man in white walked in front of the hall.

Wang Jiu!
Chapter completed!
