Chapter 262: Making a Brilliant Appearance

Mr. Xiao and the old aristocratic families in Beijing were sitting at the seats very close to the main table. When they saw the Chao family siblings walking towards him with their newly recognized sister, their whole faces burst into smiles.

Before the people came closer, he turned around and waited happily. When the little ones came, he shouted with ecstasy, "Little girl, are you here to drink with me?"< /p>

"Grandpa Xiao, please don't lead my sister astray. Little Lele is only fourteen and a half years old, can't she drink?" Chao Yubo smiled and took a bag of pills from the plate. He handed it to the old man, "Grandpa Xiao, please don't treat it as a quail egg as a return gift from my sister. The minimum price for this one is 10,000. There is a price but no stock. If you waste it, you want to ask me for it again." There's nothing I can do."

"Oh, luckily you said it, I was just thinking about giving it to me to relieve my hangover." Mr. Xiao grabbed the meatballs and put them in his pocket. "Xiao Bo, revealed. "What's the special purpose?"

"Grandpa Xiao, I'll explain the purpose to you in detail after the dinner or when I have time. Now I'll take Xiao Lele to give back the gift." The beautiful young man smiled and deliberately teased people. appetite.

"Okay, let's go." Mr. Xiao understood that if the little guys don't talk about it, it will be of great use.

The old men sitting at the same table poked Mr. Xiao with jealous eyes.

After the beautiful boy nodded to everyone, he led his pretty sister to Qing Lao's table and gave him gifts in return. Qing Lao took the gift and put it in his arms, winking at everyone without asking. use.

Grandpa Li’s family is quite funny, and Little Le’s classmate also makes cute faces.

The little girl is delicate and pretty, making funny faces and making cute faces, which makes the old man very happy.

Zhang Lao, Zhou Lao, Yang Lao and the two old men of the Chao family were sitting close to each other, so they happened to give the gifts in return. The old men received the gifts with smiles and kept them well, without giving them to anyone else. look.

Finally, I went to the Zhang family to send gifts. The Zhang family, for several generations, refused to sit in the most honorable seat. In the side seats, the Zhang family is also a family of powerful generals. Miss Chao’s husband is an educator. A standard scholar.

Mr. Zhang retired from the Ministry of National Defense. He is a tall man of 1.78 meters, with a tiger's power still in his face. His face is like steel, and the sharpness of a tiger general's sword can be vaguely seen between his brows and eyes.

Mr. Zhang accepted the return gift from the three brothers and sisters of the Chao family. Mrs. Zhang was also a kind-hearted old man, holding her infant great-granddaughter in her arms, with a kind look on her face.

Classmate Le Xiao saw that the child was unwilling to move her feet and refused to move. Chao Yubo and Chao Yufu couldn't resist her, so they asked her to play for a while while they went back to accompany their grandparents.

The young and old of the Zhang family warmly welcomed the little girl and asked her to sit down. Chao Yuming took the baby over and showed it to little sister Fantuanzi.

The Zhang family’s little great-granddaughter is almost half a year old. She is pink, sleeping, and blowing bubbles from her mouth. She is so cute.

After holding the soft baby in her arms and looking at the pink ball, Le Yun grinned and stretched out her white and tender paws to poke the baby's face. The baby was sleeping. , he didn’t protest when he was poked in the face.

One who hasn’t grown up yetThe little girl is teasing the baby, and the scene is very loving. The young and old of the Zhang family are all happy to see it.

After poking the baby's face for a while, Le Yun got down to business, feeling the baby's pulse, looking at the little arms, then taking off her shoes and looking at the soles of the feet, looking at the calves, and then looking at the baby. Buttocks, belly, back and back of the head, check the whole body.

"Xiaotuanzi, does the baby have any health problems?" Chao Mingfu nervously looked at Xiaotuanzi to check the baby's body.

"There are some problems with the gallbladder and liver. There are small blisters on the baby's liver lobes, and the gallbladder is also likely to develop into cholecystitis." Le Yun held the baby in her arms, who seemed to be about to wake up, and gently Return the light ones to the child's mother.

"Is it serious?" The young and old of the Zhang family were shocked.

"It's not serious at the moment, but it can't be ignored. Try not to feed him milk powder. The baby is too young to take medicine directly. I will go back to school and research suitable medicine or recipes for Brother Chao to bring back to Sister Ming. , making breast milk healthier and more nutritious, and indirectly conditioning the baby's body. When the baby is older, he will take targeted medicine next year. "Little girl, thank you for your hard work." Unexpectedly, the Zhang family has four sons, each with one or two sons. There are no girls in the third generation, and the eldest grandson of the fourth generation is a girl. The old Zhang family are afraid of melting in their mouths and losing their palms in their hands.

"You're welcome. The baby calls me auntie. She is my niece and she is a member of the family." Le Yun smiled and moved closer to Sister Ming to watch the baby yawn.

The young and old of the Zhang family know that the little sister of the Chao family brother is a real-hearted person and is not polite.

Here we are talking, over there the waiters are placing good wine, and the steward is asking the three masters of the Chao family for instructions on when the food will be served.

Chao Yi was about to say that it was okay, when he heard Uncle Hu’s loud announcement: "Old man and old lady, Mrs. He of the He family and the children and grandchildren of the He family wish the old man a birthday"

When that voice came, the whole hall suddenly fell silent.

If you ask what your circle has been most concerned about in recent months

Of course it is the resurrection of the ancestors of the He family.

If you ask people what they care about most

Besides power and money, of course it is health, and health is precisely the basis of power and money. Without health, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you have, it will not matter. It's like a flash in the pan.

The ancestor of the He family stepped into the coffin with one foot and stepped on the edge of the coffin with the other foot. In the blink of an eye, he was full of life again. That was an absolute reversal, and it was also really related to health problems. , enough to arouse the high attention of the powerful people in the aristocratic circle.

No matter how hard people in your circle try to pry, they can't pry the He family's mouth open. No one knows the secret of the He family's ancestor's recovery.

The He family has also become more and more low-key, and has hardly attended any banquets since October. However, the He family, which has been silent, came to congratulate the old man of the Chao family on his birthday, and Mrs. He came to visit in person. The significance of this is extraordinary. .

In an instant, the minds of all the high-ranking officials and cadres and the people in the trenches made countless twists and turns, and what they thought of was absolutely of far-reaching significance.

Le Yun had questions first in her mind, and then sighs.No., I heard that the He family was here, and the heartbeats of everyone in the room were accelerating. Do you think the He family is awesome?

Because Mayor Wang did not allow Wang Yuxuan to wander around with him, Zhao Zongze had always behaved like Pianpian. Gentleman, the moment he heard that the He family came to celebrate his birthday, his face suddenly changed. Why did the He family come?

He had a hunch that Yan Xing would probably come with the He family. . When he saw the Liu family, only Young Master Liu was there but not Yan Xing. He thought Yan Xing would not come. Who knew that when the dinner was about to start, the He family would come out halfway.

If the He family recognizes him, will they embarrass him?

Zhao Zongze suddenly lost his confidence, his heart was in a state of confusion, and he was confused.

Mr. Zhao was shocked, and Mrs. Wang’s expression was also very unnatural. The Wang family and the He family lived in the same compound. She and her husband went to the He family several times and were dismissed with neither salt nor water. And the He family is becoming more and more indifferent to them.

She celebrated her birthday last month and invited the He family to the banquet. However, He Qiying, who is also a cadre of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Government, went with the gift due to personal connections and did not even sit down. Gone.

Now, the ancestors of the He family personally lead the descendants of the He family to the Chao family to congratulate Mr. Chao on his birthday. A comparison of the two parties shows how polite the He family is to the Chao family and how little they look down on the Wang family.

Old Mrs. Wang felt uncomfortable because the Chao brothers had warned that there were distinguished guests in the Chao family. When she heard that the He family was coming, she thought about the fact that her own family used warm cheeks to give the He family cold buttocks, and she became even more upset. Uncomfortable.

Wang Yuxuan’s back suddenly tightened due to the announcement, the ancestors of the He family were coming

After hearing the news of the He family, Mr. Lan raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Liu, then Seeing the sunshine on Young Master Liu's face, he suddenly realized that Young Master Liu should have known that the He family would come to Chao's house, so he smiled unpredictably.

Why did the He family come to the Chao family to celebrate their birthday?

Pursuing information from the Guwu family could not find any clues. The He family has never shown that they are special to anyone. Today The sudden visit to the Chao family, does it mean that the person who treated the ancestors of the He family is related to the Chao family? The He family loves their houses and crows, so they went to the Chao family to celebrate their birthdays

While thinking, Mr. Lan looked at the other families. Here, I observed that there was nothing particularly strange about the people of the Guwu family who came to the banquet with some families in Beijing as ordinary people, and they also tacitly watched the changes.

When Mr. Chao heard Butler Hu’s loud voice, he looked at his wife in surprise. Mrs. He is here, right?

There is a minister in the He family who is also a minister like Chao San. The old man would not be surprised if that person came to Chao's house with his wife and children. However, it was too strange that even Mrs. He came in person.

My wife has never been very good at dealing with people. Mrs. Chao was startled at first, then immediately reached out to hold her wife’s arm and stood up, "Mrs. He is the senior, let’s go and greet her." She also called her children and grandchildren, "Boss, boss, boss." Second and third, you guys come together."

"Yes" the three brothers responded and followed the old man and the old lady to greet them. Sister Chao Yubo and Chao Yufu were even faster, following their grandparents.

ChaoWhen the master of the house came out to welcome him, the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant at first, and then the big bosses who were closest to the main table did not dare to make excuses any more and stood up and left their seats one after another.

Mrs. He Jiahe is a revolutionary senior who has been on the battlefield and killed the enemy with blood. She won the August 1st Peace Medal, which represents the highest award for military merit. She is a true hero among women and will not give in to the country. Men.

Everyone in the Chao family went to greet the guests in person. Everyone at the VIP banquet stood up to greet the guests. Others who dared not sit down also stood up and stood beside their seats, all facing outwards.

Outside the door, Uncle Hu was shocked inside.

It was past seven o'clock. Even though there were no guests, the waiters were still waiting outside the door before the dinner started. They would not leave until at least ten minutes after the dinner started.

Uncle Hu stood guard outside the door, thinking that no more guests would come. Unexpectedly, just as the food was about to be served in the hall, he saw a group of people driving over.

As the guests approached, he was shocked to find that it was the He family or the ancestors of the He family who were leading the group. At that time, he almost felt dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes and looked several times before confirming that he was right.

With great surprise in his heart, Uncle Hu did not hesitate and immediately reported to the old men in person, so that the old men and the old lady could be mentally prepared. They called inward and trotted to greet everyone in the He family.

Grandpa He took off his down jacket when he arrived at the door of Mr. Chao on the first floor, and then entered the banquet hall surrounded by his children and grandchildren.

Everyone from the He family filed in, and the people who greeted them could see the He family camp clearly. The He family team was very large. Mrs. He was in the front, wearing a dark red cheongsam and winter dress, with her hair tied up. , adorned with a few jewel-encrusted hairpins, and wearing light makeup, he didn't look like an old man nearly a hundred years old at all, as if he was just sixty or seventy years old.

Mrs. He held her head high, raised her chin slightly, walked calmly, and had an elegant demeanor. She was indescribably graceful and noble. Looking at the ladies at the banquet, she only had that kind of nobleness that only Miao Miu and a few others could match. Comparable.

If the ladies at the table are the stars, Mrs. He is the bright moon. If the ladies are flowers, Mrs. He is the peony among the flowers. When the King of Flowers appears, all the flowers will be eclipsed.

As soon as Le Yun saw the birthday star of the He family, she was stunned. Oh my god, the birthday star has such a strong aura. The aura of the birthday star is so powerful that it can sweep in all directions and overwhelm all heroes.

Le Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, and Mr. Li and others were a little stunned. No one expected that Mrs. He, who had not been around for many years, was still full of heroic spirit and her aura had not diminished.

Mrs. He calmed down the scene as soon as she appeared, but she did not look away. She put her left hand on the arm of the beautiful young man on the left who was supporting her and walked towards the masters calmly and gracefully.

The young man on her left is Yanxing, the grandson of the He family. The young man is wearing a gray-black suit and a red patterned tie. He is as tall and towering as a moving mountain. He has a handsome face, a handsome face, and a perfect face. There is an elegant smile on her jade face, her dragon eyes are shining, and she has an unparalleled grace and elegance.

He supported the old man, and his gestures and gestures were naturally noble. His aura and elegance were somewhat similar to those of the old man.

Mrs. He also has it on her right handHe is a handsome young man, with a slender figure, a jade-like figure, and eyebrows as sharp as a knife. The handsome young man supports the old man with his left hand and holds a lady's coat on his right hand.

Many people know the young man on the right side of Mrs. He. He is the fourth-generation great-grandson of the He family, He Mingzhi. His demeanor is closest to that of the third generation of the He family.

The ancestor of the He family did not let his sons and daughters-in-law support him, nor did he let his grandchildren and daughters-in-law support him. Instead, he supported his great-grandson and great-grandson. This also shows how much the old man loves his grandchildren, and at the same time he also It indirectly shows how favored Yan Shao Yanxing is in the He family.

Behind Mrs. He are rows of He family members. The first is Lu Xuemei, the widow of the deceased He Zigong, supported by his eldest son He Qiwen and his wife; followed by He Er, He Zirong, Guo Qingqing and his wife; the third is He Zirui and Chaixi; the fourth is Jin Ali, the widow of He Zihua, the deceased He Wu, who is supported by his eldest son He Qiying and his wife;

After that are He Qishu and his wife , He Qili and his wife, He Qijie and his wife, He Qican and his wife, and finally the great-grandsons of the He family, He Mingsheng, He Mingjun, He Mingtao, He Mingjing, and He Mingxin.

There are twenty-eight people in the He family, old and young, representing Mrs. He’s four sons and one daughter. All the grandchildren in each house are here. All the descendants of the He family who can come are here, which also represents the He family. Everyone came out to celebrate Mr. Chao's birthday in a grand and formal way.

Li Lao, Zhou Lao, Xiao Lao and others saw the He family's formation clearly, their faces remained calm, but their hearts were as shocked as a small earthquake.

Mr. Wu was as shocked as Mr. Li and others. He squinted at Le Qianjin and felt a little angry in his heart. It was not good for the girl from the Le family to offend anyone, but she had her crooked idea to the only male figure in the Chao family. Yes, her family thinks life in Beijing is too comfortable.

The three gentlemen of the Chao family saw clearly who was coming from the He family, and the smiles on their faces almost broke. Why did the He family make such a grand appearance? It would scare people.

Ancestor He held Xiao Longbao’s hand, making a powerful sound. He was still far away from his master and arrived before anyone else arrived. “I am glad to hear that in the year of Chao Lao’s Qing Dynasty, Xiao Jinsun was officially recognized. My dear, double happiness is coming, and my old lady is shamelessly bringing her children and grandchildren to celebrate the occasion.”

“Mrs. He Feng’s presence has made the little Chao family’s house shine, and the whole house is filled with light. Mrs. He is like this. It is a great honor for the little old man to show his respect." Mr. Chao quickly stepped forward to greet her. Mrs. He was the same generation as the deceased Mr. Chao, and was a whole generation older than him. She was a true senior.

"Welcome Mrs. He and all distinguished guests of the He family to our humble residence." Mrs. Chao and her sons and daughters-in-law extended their most sincere welcome to everyone in the He family.

"We are here too late and have disturbed everyone. Please forgive me." Mrs. He Da, Lu Xuemei, apologized on behalf of the brothers.

"You're welcome." The Chao brothers stood aside humbly, waiting for Mr. He San and others to go ahead.

Mr. Chao welcomed Mrs. He and helped the old man himself. He Xiaoshi made way for his master, and Mrs. Chao followed her husband.

Ancestor He took a look at the Chao family, stretched out his hand to grab the young Chao family standing on one side, and smiled.His eyes were shining with stars, "This should be the brother of the Chao family. He has such a good appearance and is so beautiful. His elegance surpasses that of my Xiaolongbao."

"You are too old to be praised, little boy." How can I deserve your praise?" Old Mrs. Chao smiled with flowers on her face.

"Mrs. He, you are so flattering. How can I, the light of a grain of rice, dare to compete with the light of the sun and moon of the descendants of the He family? The generations of sages and loyal generals of the He family, and the current older generation of the He family. He is a strong-willed man, his middle-aged generation has the spirit of being a father, and his younger generation has inherited the character of his ancestors. The He family has been the pillar of the country for generations, which is beyond the comparison of a child with a yellow mouth like me."

After being praised greatly by the ancestor of the He family, Chao Yubo returned the compliment with a smile.

""Yan Xing almost failed. The Chao family's brother is only one less heart and soul than Bigan. He has always been a powerful person. He is just praising the He family like this. This is trying to attract the He family. Hatred.

Congratulations two and congratulations three ""

Congratulations to all brothers Mingzhi ""Brother Chao, please don't be evil

Even if you don't want to admit it, all the guests"" I have to admit that the brother of the Chao family is right. There are indeed no people in the He family who rely on the family to make ends meet, let alone those who are waiting to die. Everyone's achievements are achieved by their own hard work.

"Hey, I'm just telling you the truth. You've praised all the boys in my family. No wonder people say that the Chao family's brother is more handsome than his peers in the capital, and he is more intelligent than the heroes of his age. Good brother. Son, please stop praising my boys. You and my fifteen little ones are all of the same age, so please don’t let anyone out.”

The beautiful boy praised the whole family, making Grandpa He smile like a flower. Open, with smile lines on his face, he pulled the second girl of the Chao family, raised his hand, pulled out a peony crested hairpin from his head, inserted it into the little girl's hair, and said with a smile, "Brothers of the Chao family are very handsome. The girl is dignified and beautiful. I didn’t bring anything valuable, so I gave you a hairpin as a gift. My sister-in-law, don’t be dissatisfied with such a trivial gift.”

The ancestor of the He family talked to the Chao brothers and sisters cordially, and the guests could still understand. , when the old man gave Chao Er a gift, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.

The ancestors of the He family gave a hairpin as a gift to a girl. Her husband held a high-ranking official position, and the girl also had an honorable status. Now the girl has passed away a few years ago, and the hairpin has been passed down as an antique by future generations. Home.

Being able to receive a hairpin as a gift from the ancestors of the He family means that the girl is pure and pure, chaste, quiet and virtuous, observing etiquette and precepts, and is a model of a noble girl.

Jealous.

The ladies and daughters present here are full of jealousy.

Old Mrs. Wang can hardly maintain the demeanor of a noble lady. Her granddaughter was so good to Yan Xing back then, and the ancestors of the He family never gave her any hairpins. But now when she meets Miss Chao Er for the first time, she The generous gift of a hairpin was not a slap in the face to her granddaughter

When word of this spread throughout the aristocratic circles, the dignitaries in Beijing found out about the childhood sweethearts between her granddaughter and Yan Xing, and then contacted her She did not receive a hairpin as a gift from the ancestors of the He family, which means she was not recognized. Let her granddaughter put her face wherever she wants, and let the Wang family put their faces

Think from the actions of the ancestors of the He family.Seeing the serious relationship, Mrs. Wang felt like she was stabbed by a knife in her heart. Her face was so embarrassed that even light makeup couldn't hide it.

Wang Yuxuan was stunned at first, then when she woke up, her beauty turned pale and she almost cried. When she and Yan Xing were very good, she could easily see the ancestors of the He family who were rare in other families. The ancestors of the He family were very interested in her. He was kind and pleasant, but he didn't give her anything meaningful.

It’s okay if the ancestors of the He family don’t give her any gifts. After all, the ancestors of the He family have never given anything to anyone else. But now they gave Miss Chao Er a hairpin for the first time they met her. After a comparison, she became It's a joke. If there are more troublemakers who distort the facts and add jealousy to it, the powerful people in the capital will probably think that she is bad and not in the eyes of the ancestors of the He family. They may even expand it and say that she is a childhood sweetheart with Yan Xing on the surface, but is secretly with Yan Xing. Yan Xing's stepbrother got together and accused her of misbehavior.

Thinking of all the possibilities, Wang Yuxuan felt anxious and her eyes were red.

Not to mention others, Chao Yufu was also a little confused. It was the first time she met the ancestors of the He family. How could Mrs. He give gifts

Chao’s father, Chao’s mother, and her brothers and sisters-in-law looked at each other. , eyes full of disbelief, Mrs. He's whole family came to celebrate her birthday again, and they gave her hairpins, which song she sang.

"How can this happen?" Mr. Chao was very embarrassed. Mrs. He's wife only gave a girl a gift many years ago. The girl later married a good husband, and her husband rose rapidly. He was really a noble husband. His wife is honored, and now Mrs. He has given a meeting gift to the Chao family girl, which is enough to give the Chao family face.

"There is nothing that cannot be done. Brother Chao is a man and has no use for the things from his daughter's family. My old lady gave a small gadget to the girl from the Chao family, just for the little girl's enjoyment."

Mrs. He was kind and kind. Chao Yufu was a little confused at first, but now he adapted to the sudden change and thanked him with a smile, "I dare not say no to the elders for this gift. Yufu thanks Mrs. He for the reward."

"This little girl has the same temperament as my little one, lively and outspoken." Grandpa He praised him and looked at the old man of the Chao family, "Mr. Chao, why don't you see the new little golden grandson of the Chao family?"

"That's wrong, that's not the name. How could you dare to trouble the master to hire a young doctor?" Mrs. He stopped the beautiful young man from the Chao family and told the children around her, "Xiao Long Bao, Xiao Fifteen." , you go ask the little doctor to come."
