Chapter 556 Who are you celebrating your birthday for?
It’s the first time we’ve arrived at the largest city on Crescent Island. This place is really nice. Why is it so nice? As soon as you enter the city, you feel extremely prosperous. This is simply more prosperous than cities on the mainland. There were many people in official uniforms coming and going, and there were all kinds of hawkers and people doing business everywhere. Really, when he came here, he felt the smell of fireworks in the world. The places he went to before were all desolate, and even if there were people, they were from a small minority group. He didn't feel it until he got here. That dizzying feeling.
As soon as he entered this street, he saw a vermilion-painted door at the first house. It looked like it was a very wealthy family. There is also a servant sitting on a long bench in the porch, guarding the door. His family was very lively with people coming and going.
Li Kaiyang was very curious, what was this family doing? Is it to take a wife? There will still be a funeral, and the funeral will be in vain? The white curtains don't look like it.
When it comes to getting married, there are no red couplets. Either there is some joy of moving to another house, or he has been promoted in the government. Is this the official’s home? With this doubt, he stopped and stood at the door to watch.
Everyone came and went with gifts, and he didn't know what they were bringing in large and small packages. Later, he finally understood whether it was an elder in this family who had a birthday and had status. Most people are here to congratulate.
Li Kaiyang thought, should I go in and watch the fun? He saw someone greeting the guests at the door. Although he was just an old man, the inspection was very strict. Everyone who came here to congratulate had a gift box in his hand, and his face was full of smiles. Moreover, they seemed to know each other, and everyone who was supposed to come came. No one should come. If he goes, it will be uninvited. The old man must be able to recognize it. Can he get in?
Li Kaiyang didn't think about this anymore. Since he had this plan, don't think too much. If you think too much, you won't be able to do anything. He said to Xiaolan next to him. "I want to go in and have a look. Do you want to go in and have a look too." Xiaolan was a little confused and said, "What are you going in for? Didn't you say you wanted to take a look around the city and go to the prince's house?" , this is an ordinary people's home, what are you going to see? They seem to be celebrating some happy event, do you want to have a wedding banquet when you go in?"
Xiaolan objected, but Li Kaiyang ignored him, and he ran to the door in a hurry. He didn't hold the gift box in his hand, and when he reached the door, the old man stopped him. Of course, Li Kaiyang was wearing all the clothes now. They were wearing the same clothes, and he didn't have a gift in his hand. Naturally, he wasn't here to congratulate him, so the old man stopped him and asked, "Sir, please stay. Today is my eightieth birthday. Are you familiar with me?"
This sentence really asked about Li Kaiyang's shortcomings. He and the master were familiar with each other, but of course they were not. He doesn't even know what this grandpa's surname is, what is his name? He came here just out of curiosity. When the doorman asked this question, Li Kaiyang laughed twice before saying. "I didn't buy anything, but I have a precious gift to give to the old man who is celebrating his birthday. If you don't let me in, I will leave. Anyway, the gift in your hand is not as important as the gift in your heart."
The old man was confused by what he said. He didn't know who Li Kaiyang was or what his relationship was with the master. He wanted to ask but felt that such a question was too abrupt, so he was embarrassed and said: "Ah, this Young Master, please stay. That's not what I mean. I don't have to ask for your gift. It's just that I'm afraid that outsiders will sneak in. It's okay to sneak in and have a wedding banquet. However, there are some unscrupulous and kind-hearted people, and I'm afraid they will cause trouble inside. "
When Li Kaiyang saw the old man, his conversation changed. He stopped arguing with him and greeted him with a smile, "That's it. Don't worry, I have been friends with you for many years."
The old man looking at the door looked at Li Kaiyang in disbelief, thinking how old you are, how come you have known each other for many years. Only a ghost would believe this, but he was too embarrassed to expose it directly, so he made a gesture of invitation and said, "Since the young master is familiar with our master, please come in. When you enter, you will be entertained. You can find a seat and sit down by yourself."
After saying that, Li Kaiyang strode in. Xiaolan wanted to go in at this time, but he didn't have Li Kaiyang's ability to adapt to changes, so he angrily sat on a stone on the side of the road and waited for him.
After Li Kaiyang entered, there were already hundreds of people here. Two large rows of dining tables had been set up, and people were looking for places to sit. Li Kaiyang thought to himself, I don't need to be particular, let's eat TND first. But soon he remembered another thing. I was eating inside, and Xiaolan was sitting outside on the bench. This was too rude. When he turned around, he made me angry, and I couldn't stop it, so he hurriedly came out again. , when passing the door, the old man asked: "Why did you come out again?"
Li Kaiyang said: "I went in by myself, and there was a servant behind me, but he hadn't followed me in yet!"
So after taking two steps, he saw Xiaolan sitting alone on a rock, feeling depressed and angry, so he walked over and waved. "Come on, come in with me."
The tone of his speech was really a bit wild and uninhibited, which made Xiaolan even more angry. He pouted his lips higher, even tying the donkey. The old man guarding the gate was also amused by their actions, but he also Without asking, Xiaolan knew when Li Kaiyang called him that he couldn't explain himself inside, so she came to call him. He didn't continue to be upset and followed him in. After the two of them entered, they found a comfortable position to sit down. Everyone who came in sent their gifts to the gift table first, but the two of them held a baby on their shoulders and had nothing. Many people cast strange looks at them. In particular, a fat man who weighed more than [-] kilograms sat at the same table with them and said, "They came to congratulate me and gave me a lot of expensive gifts. You two are freeloaders, aren't you?" Even if you know the master, you shouldn't be so arrogant, you don't even know how to give some gifts, and you still want to have a meal here."
Li Kaiyang was a little angry after hearing what he said. What he said to his heart was that I do whatever I want. It's none of your business. Are you here to cause trouble for me? You can make trouble for me, just wait, hey, I'll let you know how good I am. The big fat man puffed his beard and glared, looking quite dissatisfied. He must be a young man from a wealthy family, otherwise why would he be so fat? People who can't eat and drink northwest wind all day long will not be so fat and heavy.
At this time, the waiters were serving dishes to the table one after another. The owner of the house, the old man who had passed his birthday, was already sitting in the most prominent position. There was a Taishi chair under the eaves of the room, and he sat on it. Several plates of exquisite side dishes were placed in front of him. He was old and his eyes might be a little dim. He couldn't see the end of these people, so he sat there. The hoarse voice said, "It's really an honor for all my guests and friends to come to congratulate me. I'm going to have a banquet to entertain you all today. I hope you can eat well and drink well. Don't save your strength for me, and drink as much as you like." , I have also prepared songs and dances for everyone. Please drink and have fun."
Li Kaiyang and Xiaolan didn't care about this. Facing such a table of sumptuous food and wine, they grinned and started eating.
Where is Xiaolan? Logically speaking, a servant should not sit and eat with his master. Especially in this era, there are relatively few women on the table. He was dressed like a little girl, and everyone present rushed towards him. They looked at him strangely and said to themselves, "Why is this little girl sitting on this table so grandly?" There were women at the wedding banquet, one was the servant girl, the women who served the dishes and the meals, the other was the older lady who came here with her husband, and he, the little girl, was sitting on the table. It's a bit surprising. Indeed, his identity is Li Kaiyang's maid. But the servants and maids stood respectfully aside. No one sat at the table to eat with the host, so people looked at her strangely.
But Xiaolan thought to herself, what are you looking at? It’s useless for you to see that we don’t have a real master-servant relationship. He has no scruples when I should eat and drink, and it’s hard for others to interfere in other people’s wedding banquets. But The fat man had a look of disdain on his face. He was so angry that he knocked on the table with his hand and said, "How can this be so decent? Your master just eats here. You, a servant, just come here and sit here." Eating on the table leaves no room for our dignity, so get out of here."
In fact, Xiaolan is a very beautiful girl. A romantic young man like this should be more enthusiastic when meeting him, but when he meets this fat young man, he is so fat that he has lost all the aspects of being interested in women. So all that's left is jealousy, which actually has nothing to do with him. It's just asking the dog to meddle with the mouse, and you can just eat what's yours, right? He just wanted to provoke Xiangxiang, and provoked Xiaolan. Xiaolan ignored him at first and just ate her own food, but the fat man blew his beard and glared, knocked on the table and bench, and made the scene a bit too embarrassing.
First, Li Kaiyang glared at him, wanting to give him a warning, but this man still didn't know what to do and kept mumbling. This made Li Kaiyang a little bit intolerable. He used his fingers to pick up a peanut on the table. It was ejected and hit him directly in the face to tell him to shut up. Li Kaiyang flicked it casually. He thought it was not very powerful, but in fact the force he ejected was quite strong. To say that the peanuts were not as good as those that were ejected. The bullet was about the same and hit the fat man's fat face. The fat man was eating something sweet and talking excitedly when suddenly he was hit hard on the face. This time he almost knocked him backwards. He stood up suddenly, covered his face and shouted, "Who is, who is, who is attacking me."
As soon as he shouted, everyone present was shocked. They didn't know what had happened. In such a big wedding banquet scene, they were afraid that someone would cause trouble, but something happened. Although it was a small action in a corner, But everyone turned around to watch. Xiaolan hadn't made a move yet, and he was angry. Otherwise, Xiaolan would have made a move again. Xiaolan might have been gentler, but Li Kaiyang wanted to be gentle, but his strength didn't allow it. Once he made a move, It was a heavy blow, and the fat man's face swelled up. Half of his face was swollen, and he covered his face and screamed.
Xiaolan glanced at Li Kaiyang and thought that your attack was too harsh. If you hurt him in such a scene, the consequences would be difficult to deal with. But Li Kaiyang didn't take it seriously. He continued to eat his, chewing on the fat chicken legs until his mouth was full of oil. He had been eating so happily for so long. Of course, Xiaolan had almost eaten. She reached out and took the food next to it. The servant handed him a tissue and wiped his mouth. Then he turned his face sideways and said to Li Kaiyang: "It's almost done. Let's go. Don't cause trouble here."
The fat man covered his face and moaned for a long time. The servant at that house ran over and asked, "What happened to Mr. Chen?"
The fat man covered his face and said, "I was eating when I was suddenly hit by something. Look at his face. When everyone looked at his face, it looked like half a pig's face. It was so swollen that it was indescribable. The servant felt like it when he saw it. It was funny. He was quite fat to begin with, and his face was bigger and smaller, which made it even more ugly and indescribable. He thought that he had to give someone an explanation. He was hit for no reason. Who was it? After doing it, he started to look at the people on the table. The people on the table looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary. Looking at the people around him, he couldn't see any clues. It was true that he couldn't tell with his eyesight, but the fat man was very He quickly pointed his finger at Li Kaiyang and said, "I suspect it was him who did it. I don't like this kid. "
Li Kaiyang thought to himself that you Xiaocai was really fooled. It was indeed me. How could you still do anything to me?
The fat man turned his face and said to the man, "You guys have to take it out on me. I came to celebrate the master's birthday. I brought so many gifts to you, and he beat me before I even had two bites of food. You guys have to take it out on me?" .”
He said it several times in a row. Did the servant think he was beaten? I wanted to ask, so he came over and saluted Li Kaiyang respectfully and said, "Master, he said it was you who always beat him, right?"
Li Kaiyang widened his eyes and asked him, "Is that so? I don't know. I didn't hit whoever hit him."
The servant came back and asked, "This fat young man, have you seen him hit you?" "
Someone still saw the fat young man and hesitated for a moment and said, "No, I don't think anyone else would hit me except him. Others don't have the courage. He is the only one who doesn't know where this thief came from. How did he come to our banquet?" Come up, your master should quickly investigate whether we are friends with him. I think he is very sneaky and does not look like a good person, so I suspect it is him."
Li Kaiyang thought that this was bad. If they investigated and found out that he was freeloading, he would be in trouble. At least he would not be able to save face. This young man immediately told the people around him, "Anyone who knows him, please come forward. I You need to know who he is. "
Several family members gathered around, and they all came to see Li Kaiyang. Most of them didn't know him. One or two knew him because they saw him when he came in from the door. It couldn't be said that they knew him. The old man who opened the door had also come in earlier. Inside, when he saw people questioning Li Kaiyang, he stepped forward and asked the young master, "I let you in, but I actually don't know what your relationship is with the master."
