tease

Wen Zhengyu was a little worried.

She has just met her grandparents' family, so she is unfamiliar with many things, for example, she doesn't know much about her family's birthdays.Her grandmother's birthday invitation had been sent out a long time ago, but there had never been a grandmother who had sent invitations to her granddaughter on her birthday.The Lian family has cut off contact with the Wen family for more than 20 years, and no one has sent posts to the Wen family.She probably didn't even think of her family members, she didn't even know their birthdays, she thought she knew, and then didn't tell her, until she invited everyone to eat crabs, and Lian Xi's big mouth croaked about her grandma's birthday She didn't know that.

Now, she has finished painting, but she still needs to frame it.

Framed paintings are fast, yes, half an hour is enough for mechanical mounting, but it is not conducive to preservation and later restoration of paintings.The best way is to mount it by hand, but it takes a long time to mount it by hand, at least a week.

If not framed, just put it in a painting tube and send it over, and then take her grandma to send it for mounting after her grandma's birthday?There is no such birthday gift.

The south is humid, and the four words "Yinyu Jiangnan" fully describe the humid climate in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the mounted paintings need to be treated with moisture-proof treatment during the humid rainy season, otherwise they will soon be damp and mildewed.Looking at the furnishings of her grandfather's house, she knew that they were not the type who liked calligraphy, painting and literature, so they definitely didn't know how to preserve calligraphy and painting works.If her paintings are hung in the house, they will get moldy after a few drizzles, and she has to feel bad first.

Her paintings are made in Shuxuan, and if they want to be preserved, they still need to be framed properly.

Wen Zhengyu hesitated for a long time, and went to the warehouse of the studio to find a mahogany carved painting tube to put the painting on.Anyway, she often goes to the old lady's place, waiting for the day when the old lady has time, and then taking the old lady to frame, after all, it is her heart.

The old lady celebrates her birthday, she can't wait until the day of the birthday party like outsiders.

She had lunch with the old man on Friday, and took Wen Jing to Lian's house with the birthday gift that the old man gave to the old lady.When she went to Lian's house, she didn't even need to bring a change of clothes and daily necessities. The old lady had already prepared everything for her.

The benefits of the old lady having many children and grandchildren are reflected at this time.Her grandfather had only one granddaughter by her side, and she was so exhausted celebrating her grandfather's birthday that her grandfather had to help her in many places, and even the old gentleman was very busy for a while.Her grandma celebrated her birthday, and her uncle, aunt, cousin, and cousin took care of it. When she arrived, the old lady was still watering the flowers in the yard.

When the old lady saw her car, she put down the watering pot and came over with small brisk steps, asking, "Why are you here now? I thought you would come here tomorrow morning."

Wen Zhengyu said: "No way. I kissed my grandma for her birthday, so naturally I had to come earlier. I should have come earlier, but I worked overtime for a week to prepare your birthday gift, so you can't blame me."

When the old lady heard that she had been busy for a week, she asked, "What have you prepared? I'm glad you came."

Wen Zhengyu smiled and said, "You'll be happy when I come, and you ask me what I have prepared?"

The old lady said: "You have been busy for a week, I have to ask."

Wen Jing opened the trunk to carry the birthday gift, the old lady came over, saw boxes of brocade boxes, looked suspiciously at Wen Zhengyu, and asked, "What are they?"

Wen Zhengyu said: "I don't know. Mr. Wen prepared all the things in his treasury. I reckon that those calligraphy, painting and cultural relics in his treasury will definitely not be given to you. They are probably ginseng tonics and the like. thing."

The old lady looked at the pile of things that were said to be ginseng tonics for a long time, but she couldn't see which one was given by her granddaughter, and asked, "What did you prepare?"

Wen Zhengyu took down the painting tube from the back seat, helped her grandmother into the room, and said, "I painted it. I just painted it yesterday afternoon. It was fresh out of the oven. You still have to wait for it to dry for a few days before taking it to mount. I will accompany you when the time comes, and I am familiar with the mounting master."

The old lady laughed, exposed her, and said: "You are running out of time, if you don't have time to send the frame, just tell me, I can blame you." She added: "It's agreed, you have to go with me."

Wen Zhengyu blushed immediately after being exposed by the old lady, nodded, and said, "Definitely."

The old lady opened the painting tube with a smile, and carefully took out the painting.

Wen Zhengyu helped the old lady unfold the painting, and said, "It took me so long to paint because I'm a slow painter. This is the first time I've drawn this kind of birthday celebration painting. If there are any bad things, don't hold it against me."

The old lady teased her and said, "If I don't like it, can you draw another one?"

Wen Zhengyu responded readily.

The old lady smiled and shifted her gaze to the painting, and she saw the Chinese character Longevity. The Chinese character Longevity was painted with green pines and cranes, lined with the sun, moon, mountains and rivers.There are two lines of characters next to it, which read "Wen Zhengyu congratulates grandma Zhang Yunhua on her 86th birthday in Jiyou month of the Dingyou year. May grandma be happy and live a long and healthy life."

He Shoutu has seen it before, and it is rare to mention such a long word.The painting is beautiful, and the writing is also beautiful.

The old lady read and read Wen Zhengyu's words over and over again, and looked at her drawing again and again. It took a long time for the old lady to look away and hold Wen Zhengyu's hand tightly.In this painting, even the pine needles are clearly drawn, and the plump pine nuts are hung on the verdant pine trees, implying long descendants, and the cranes are vivid, and even every feather is clearly drawn .The mountain is majestic, rolling and undulating, with great momentum behind it.Behind the clouds, the dawn breaks, the sun rises, and the faint figure of the moon hangs in the sky.

The old lady was afraid that her painting would be damaged, so she told Wen Zhengyu to put it away carefully, and take it out after sending it to be mounted in a few days.

Wen Zhengyu put the painting back into the painting tube.She looked around, but did not see Mr. Lian, and asked, "Where is Grandpa?"

The old lady said: "Some of his old comrades-in-arms and old brothers are here, and they are in the study. Your grandpa Qi is also here."

Wen Zhengyu asked, "Grandpa Qi?"

The old lady said: "Old Qi. You and your grandfather are brothers who grew up together. Your grandfather's leg was injured at the time. If he hadn't tried his best to bring your grandfather back, your grandfather's life may have died a long time ago." Lost on the battlefield. Now that I am old, everyone has left, and only your grandfather, Lao Qi and Lao Bian are left." She paused, and then said: "Lao Qi still has a granddaughter, She's a little older than you, but she's pretty."

Wen Zhengyu narrowed his eyes when he saw the old lady mention someone else's granddaughter, and said, "You have a granddaughter too." What kind of person, in front of his granddaughter, is envious of someone else's beautiful granddaughter, she is not ugly.

The old lady said: "It is beautiful, prettier than you."

Wen Zhengyu was speechless.My grandma said that others are good-looking, so it can be seen that she is really prettier than her.

She came early, right after lunch.In the afternoon, guests began to come to the house, aunts, aunts, cousins, cousins, some relatives of the old lady came, and she also saw her uncle.The old lady has seven brothers and sisters, and now only the old lady and her uncle are alive.The little uncle came in a wheelchair, accompanied by his grandson.

When an old man celebrates his birthday, the first ones to come are the old gentlemen and old ladies who are close to the old man.

Her uncle, uncle, aunt and cousin all came back and greeted her warmly.

Wen Zhengyu followed her grandmother, and started a new round of relative recognition mode.

After she recognized a wave of relatives the day before, she went to the banquet the next day and continued to recognize people while acting as the old lady's human crutch beside the old lady.She just thinks that compared with Mr. Wen, the old lady is really a coward, and knows everyone from all walks of life.The generation with the old lady came, and the younger generation of those dealing with the old lady also came to pay their respects.She only heard her grandfather say that her grandma was amazing, but now that she saw her, she realized that the old lady seemed a little powerful.Generally speaking, when an old lady marries into Lao Lian's family, others mention that she should be "the old lady of the Lian family". Zhang Gu".From the mouths of these old people, she vaguely knew that the old lady was also a troublemaker when she was young.Hearing what everyone said, she couldn't help but think that the root of Lao Lian's boy, Ziye, probably didn't lie in her grandfather, but in the old lady.

Wen Zhengyu only dared to guess secretly in his heart, and didn't dare to ask the old lady, who did her uncle and cousin follow so wildly.She was afraid that the old lady would beat her.

For the old lady's birthday, more people came than her grandfather.

All four of her uncles were soldiers.The eldest uncle worked until he was 60 years old and just retired. The second and third uncles later changed jobs and became civil servants. The younger uncle is still in the army.These ex-soldiers all pay attention to a comrade-in-arms or something. Even after retiring from the army and changing jobs, there are comrades-in-arms who come to visit.Some comrades-in-arms continued to serve in the army, some transferred to other places and arranged jobs, and some went into business.She has four uncles, and a bunch of their comrades and colleagues came, and some of them even brought their family members. The wives and children sat at more than a dozen tables.Her seven cousins ​​also have their own jobs or businesses. Except for Lian Xi who has only been in the army for three years, the rest have also served in the army. They are also comrades-in-arms and colleagues.In addition to her uncle and cousin, she also had relatives from her aunt and sister-in-law's family.Furthermore, Lian Xin is in business, and has many contacts.

Even though Wen Zhengyu always thought he had a good memory, people who had recognized him once could basically remember them, but he couldn't remember them today.Fortunately, she was led by the old lady, so she first followed the old lady to make a circle of people.

The old lady said, "This is my granddaughter, my family's Huaijin's child." She expressed the feelings of the Lian family for Lian Huaijin.Wen Zhengyu felt that she had an amazing mother.She is Lian Huaijin's child.

Many people still know Lian Huaijin, and they all say that she looks like Lian Huaijin, and those who know the old lady when she was young say that she looks like the old lady.

She got to know all the old lady's acquaintances, and then the old lady patted her hand and said, "You've been with me for most of the morning, go." Then she asked Lian Xin to bring her take her.

After Lian Xin took Wen Zhengyu away from the old lady, Wen Zhengyu asked: "Is the old lady in charge of the old Lian's family?" She thought it was the old man who let the old lady go at home, and when the banquet was held, she found so many people came , Many of them are directed at the old lady, not at Mr. Lian.

Lian Xin said: "Our old lady is amazing. Grandpa's greatest achievement in his life is marrying grandma, and besides, he is afraid of his wife." He whispered the following sentence in a low voice.He said: "When we were beaten when we were young, we only looked for my aunt, never my grandpa. It was useless. With my grandma, he was more cowardly than us."

Wen Zhengyu asked in a low voice: "Is my mother not cowardly?"

Lian Xin said: "My aunt is reasonable and she speaks softly. Everyone loves to listen to her."

Fortunately, Lian Xin estimated that she recognized a lot of people, so she only introduced her to a few peers who had a close relationship with Lian's family and had a good relationship with him, so that everyone could get to know each other and leave their contact information.

She vaguely felt something strange, subconsciously looked back and saw Ye Ling talking and laughing with people not far behind, and beside him was a man in his 30s, who looked very enthusiastic.

Seeing him like that, Wen Zhengyu felt that he just missed opening his screen.

Ye Ling suddenly turned her head and saw Wen Zhengyu standing not far away looking at her, her eyes lit up immediately, she said: "I lost the compensation", walked quickly to Wen Zhengyu's side, smiled and asked softly: "Come to find me?"

Wen Zhengyu: "..." She glanced at the man who seemed to be pursuing Ye Ling, but when she saw the man glanced at them, he approached them with a smile.This is also a candy.Hmm, kind of annoying.Wen Zhengyu was thinking, should I dismiss it?But Ye Ling's suitor, whether to dismiss it is Ye Ling's business, and it has nothing to do with her.It's just that this person's smile is a bit obtrusive, her eyes are a bit unattractive, and she is not good-looking, at least as far as her aesthetics are concerned, she is not very pleasing to the eye.However, the man had already come over and greeted her very politely, and she had to respond out of politeness.

The man asked: "I heard that Miss Wen and Ye Ling are good friends. I have always wanted to get to know each other, but I didn't expect to meet today. Why is Miss Wen here?"

Wen Zhengyu: "..."

Ye Ling smiled, and said to the man, "I'll pay you back." Holding Wen Zhengyu's arm, she turned around and led Wen Zhengyu to recognize him.

The table she went to was full of people from the business field. Judging from the clothes and the seats in the row, they should be some relatively powerful entrepreneurs in the local area.

Wen Zhengyu unfortunately met a friend of Wen Shiyi's from the past. This was the one who asked her for a price when her family sold the house.Willing to spend tens of millions of annual salary to support her, it seems that the family is quite rich.However, this made Wen Zhengyu very uncomfortable. The family collapsed, and some people had normal thoughts, but this person and Wen Shiyi had been friends for decades, and she once called him uncle.At that time, she refused with a cold face, but this person was not embarrassed or pestered.

The man obviously knew Ye Ling very well, and greeted Ye Ling warmly.When I met her, it was like nothing happened back then, and I said, "Miss Wen, business is booming recently?"

Wen Zhengyu nodded lightly and said, "It's okay."

Ye Ling was keenly aware that Wen Zhengyu's attitude was unusually indifferent, so she whispered in Wen Zhengyu's ear, "Is there a festival?"

Wen Zhengyu was surprised, and said in his heart: "Can you be more sensitive?" She said: "Not really."

This young lady seldom showed any emotion. Ye Ling understood that this person must have offended Wen Zhengyu somewhere, but if Wen Zhengyu didn't say anything, it was not easy for her to ask, and it was even more inappropriate to ask here.Now that Wen Zhengyu is in business, he still has to deal with some people in the business field. The people in the business field who can come today and sit in this seat are more or less based on their strength and connections.She first introduced to Wen Zhengyu all the people in her seat.

There are rules for introducing each other.First young and then old, first male and then female, first down and then up, first kiss and then estrangement, first host and then guest.Today Wen Zhengyu is regarded as the host, so Ye Ling naturally has to introduce her first.She said: "Zhengyu, Wen Zhengyu, the granddaughter of Mrs. Zhang."

Everyone was very surprised when they heard that it was the granddaughter of Mrs. Zhang.

Someone asked: "Grandma Zhang has a granddaughter?" Then he hurriedly said to Wen Zhengyu: "Miss Wen, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend, but it was an accident." Immediately got up, and introduced himself first.

Wen Zhengyu returned the gift, and then explained: "My mother passed away early, and I followed my father and grandparents when I was young."

"Oh." A woman responded and asked, "Then how long will the hall be lined up?"

Wen Zhengyu said: "Line four, I and my brother-in-law are siblings." After she finished speaking, she saw that some people at the table were less casual, and their attitudes were not as calm as before.

There are both men and women present. The men introduced themselves more proactively, while the women were more reserved, and Ye Ling introduced them.

Wen Shiyi's old friend picked up the full wine glass, stood up, and said: "Miss Wen, I'm very sorry, I didn't know you were Miss Lian's family before, if you are rude, I hope Haihan, I borrow Drinking this wine, I solemnly apologize to you." After speaking, he raised his head, grunted, and drank a full glass of baijiu upside down, and then drank two more glasses in a row.

Three glasses of wine startled Wen Zhengyu.

The people on the table were also stunned.

Wen Zhengyu was stunned for a moment before recovering.Here are all people in the business field, and Wen Zhengyu can't help but give face if they can apologize for such a small matter in public.Besides, he didn't do anything too outrageous.She immediately picked up Ye Ling's wine glass and said: "A little matter, once it's over, it's over, don't worry about it." She took a shallow sip, and it seemed that this matter was over.

After she was stunned for a moment, she also understood what this guy meant.Mr. Wen Shiyi's family was not too weak, and it collapsed within half a year.This friend who has been with Wen Shiyi for decades, I believe he knows how Wen Shiyi fell.With Lian Xin and Ye Ling attacking together, anyone with a little bit of information would know that Lian's family members were involved.As a businessman, harmony makes money, one thing more is worse than one thing less.I have apologized and apologized, and let this matter go, there is no need to leave such a small festival here.

She thought that she would have to ask Ye Ling to accompany her to go fishing with bait later.She has made good friends in private, so it's good to bring them to the old lady to get acquainted.She said, "Shall I take you to see my grandmother?"

Ye Ling froze for a moment, and said, "It's not very good, is it?"

Wen Zhengyu said: "Lian Xi asked us to go fishing next week and asked to bring a companion. I don't have any other friends except you and Wen Li. I would like to ask you to help me with this. After fishing, it is necessary to give Mr. Lian and Mrs. Lian Bring some back, and then I have to go to her house to grab a meal, so it’s better to get to know each other first.” As for what you can’t catch, I don’t think about it at all.Lian Xi said that he could catch fish, but if he couldn't catch fish, let him go into the water to catch fish.

Ye Ling smiled and said, "That will work."

Wen Zhengyu said to everyone at the table: "Sorry, I lost the compensation." He led Ye Ling to the old lady, and said: "Grandma, this is Ye Ling, Ye Ling who took me to fish for crabs."

Ye Ling glanced at Wen Zhengyu with a smile, and politely called after Wen Zhengyu: "Grandma."

Wen Zhengyu: "..." The first thought that popped into her mind was that grandma was being robbed.The second reaction is that you are yelling too smoothly.However, her friend followed her by calling her grandma, there was nothing wrong with her, she couldn't make a mistake, and Wen Zhengyu couldn't refute.

The old lady laughed when she heard about fishing for crabs, and said, "This silly child has never seen crabs swimming in her life. You took her to fish for crabs, which made her so happy. She came back and read for several days."

Wen Zhengyu: "..." This is really a pro-grandmother who only makes trouble.

Ye Ling couldn't help laughing, and said, "That's right, she stared at the crab pretty well. I don't think she dared to, otherwise, she could catch it with her hands."

After chatting with Ye Ling for a few words, the old lady asked Ye Ling: "Why do you want to take her to fish for crabs?"

Wen Zhengyu frowned.She forgot that the old lady is smart, don't see any signs, right?

Ye Ling said: "It's the season to eat crabs, and I need to buy some crabs as gifts. It's going to be delivered to people. Whether it's good or bad, you have to see it yourself before you can rest assured. I thought about this. Season, Zheng Yu probably will buy some too, so I invite her to go with her."

The old lady nodded and praised Ye Ling: "He is a meticulous child."
