The singing was very loud and clear, and Chen Kaizhi...

Nani…

Chen Kaizhi was a little confused!

His pace began to slow down, something was wrong.

It is clearly stated in the "Book of Rites" that birthday gifts should not be too extravagant. Five longevity peaches and one piece of cloth are considered rich, but I just follow the highest standards.

But... I was cheated.

The words in the book are really a punctuation mark that cannot be believed.

Chen Kaizhi felt tears in his heart. He gritted his teeth and walked forward, and a concierge came to greet him, saying, "Dare you ask about the name?"

He clearly knew who he was... But Chen Kaizhi came, and this should be a procedure, so he said respectfully: "I don't know Chen Kaizhi."

The concierge looked at him deeply, and Chen Kaizhi gave the gift with great depression. The concierge was stunned when he saw the gift, looking at Chen Kaizhi like a monster.

Chen Kaizhi said in disappointment: "Can you not read it?"

The concierge glanced inside and shivered, as if afraid of the wife's punishment, and said in a busy manner, "Ah, this is a custom."

Chen Kaizhi was helpless, shook his head, and simply looked as usual and passed through the numerous instrument doors.

I walked to the main hall in one breath. The main hall was very lively, and most distant relatives were chatting outside. Chen Kaizhi walked through the crowd and went straight into the hall. He saw Xun's mother and Xun You sitting high in the hall. I was afraid that many of them were close relatives of the Xun family, and some were mostly local wealthy families.

At this time, there was no big trouble for men and women. The atmosphere was similar to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The hostess was at home and was half the sky. When everyone saw Chen Kaizhi coming in, some people were suspicious. Whose boy was this? He looked handsome and looked like a humble gentleman. However... the clothes he wore were a little shabby. Although they were very clean, they seemed a little "outlier" when they were in such an occasion.

Chen Kaizhi stepped forward and saluted solemnly: "Student Chen Kaizhi, pay homage to his uncle and aunt, and wishes his aunt a birthday to the south mountain."

"Ah... he is that Chen Kaizhi? I heard that knowledge is excellent."

"Although it seems a little shabby, I will sooner or later become the uncle of the Xun family."

Everyone whispered to bite their ears.

There were also some people who seemed to have bad intentions and laughed: "Look at him, I heard that he was the head of the case, but I didn't expect to be so poor..."

The head of the house test case is indeed very great for ordinary families, but most of the people who come here are local wealthy families. Who hasn’t had a few officials?

Although he is the head of the case, he is still a scholar after all. Who likes scholars here?

Xun You smiled and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, my nephew is here."

Xun's mother was relieved. At first, Chen Kaizhi came to propose marriage, but she strongly opposed it, and it was not because she looked down on others. But this was ultimately related to her daughter's life. At that time, she turned her mind to her nephew Zhang Ruyu, thinking that it was a knowledge of the roots and bottom.

But after that time, her heart was indeed a little relaxed, but she couldn't hide her face. Could she go back on her word?

Now Chen Kaizhi is here to pay homage to her birthday, which can be regarded as giving her a step forward.

After all... the raw rice has been cooked. Everyone in Jinling knows it, what else can I do? I can only learn to accept this fact. Moreover, after hearing Xun Youxuan talk about Chen Kaizhi's many benefits, Xun's mother gradually changed.

But today, seeing Chen Kaizhi wearing old clothes to celebrate his birthday, Xun's mother couldn't help but feel a little red. It's embarrassing. What about the future son-in-law of the Xun family? What will others think after seeing it?

Even though he said this, Xun's mother still said, "Get up, don't be so unfamiliar. Juncai and his brothers mentioned you a few days ago, saying that they want to study with you. It would be great if you have this intention."

The Juncai she mentioned was Ms. Xun's brothers.

To say this deliberately, Xun's mother focused on pointing to these relatives and people who come to pay their birthdays in each family that my future son-in-law is a little poor, but she is still very good at studying.

This is called playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses, a perfect woman’s thoughts.

Chen Kaizhi secretly cried in his heart. This future mother-in-law, twenty years ago, is a good fighter.

So Chen Kaizhi stood up calmly, but...

At this moment, the doorman sang: "Student Chen Kaizhi, present a Songjiang cloth and five longevity peaches. I wish my wife a lifetime of more than the southern mountain."

Well……

Suddenly, the hall became quiet.

Silent.

The needle can be heard.

Chen Kaizhi regretted it a little. He knew that he had given too little gifts, and he couldn't help but sigh. It turns out that the books were really misleading people.

Just looking at all the surprised attitudes in this hall, Chen Kaizhi knew that this time it was a bit of a big deal. Could it be that the atmosphere had changed? It is estimated that in the eyes of these wealthy families, the so-called "Songjiang Bu" and longevity peaches they gave were like sending beggars.

Puff...

Finally someone laughed out loud, but it was a woman who was closer to Xun's mother.

The woman wore a gold hairpin on her head, and was covered with pearls and precious spirits. At first glance, she looked like a person who had piled up with money.

But... when someone is having a birthday, you are so colorful, afraid that others will not know how rich your family is. Chen Kaizhi has seen many such people in his previous life and in this life.

The woman smiled and said, "This Chen Sheng, how can you joke, Songjiang Bu? Ha... Chen Sheng, you gave it to me, my old sister, and she only used it as a shoe-sharp cloth."

When she spoke, Xun's mother's face pulled down, and she knew in her heart that while this woman was showing off, she was actually shattering the situation.

Xun's mother had a vague intention of having an attack, and she hated Chen Kaizhi for not being able to do anything, and she also hated the woman who didn't open the pot.

The woman smiled again. Seeing that Chen Kaizhi and Xun's mother were speechless, she said with a look of spring breeze: "But Chen Sheng, this is actually OK. My old sister is interested in your talent and knowledge. Although you are poor, what's so scary? The Xun family has a great career and can't support you?"

This...is serious.

This is equivalent to saying directly in public that Chen Kaizhi is a soft-hearted person.

This woman is also a distant relative of the Xun family and is also from a wealthy family. When the family has done big business, she naturally has money. However, because of her poor background, she is competitive in everything, especially when she is Xun's mother, she hopes to compare Xun's mother.

This person is called the Yang family. Although the Yang family is rich, the Xun family is a family with a background. How can they compare with it in normal times? Now I feel so happy to see the Xun family looking for such a poor boy as their son-in-law, so they are sarcastic and can't help but make jokes.

When Xun's mother heard this, she felt unhappy and tried hard to show her voice. She knew better than anyone else that if she turned her face at this time, it would become a joke.
