Chapter 461 Mr. Zhou’s Birthday Banquet
The collar and cuffs of the cheongsam are exquisitely decorated with fine pearls.
These pearls were scattered around like bright stars, flashing a faint but dazzling light with An Yunxi's every move, making the whole cheongsam look more gorgeous and noble.
After a brief communication with the styling team, everyone took up their responsibilities and started to take action.
Those who do makeup put on makeup, those who do hair do hair, those who do manicure do manicure...
An Yunxi's dressed-up look amazed everyone in the styling team.
The cheongsam fits the curves of her body, perfectly outlining her slender waist and long legs.
She exudes a unique charm, with the gracefulness and beauty of a classical oriental woman, and the confidence and independence of a modern woman.
She wore a pearl necklace around her neck with a pink gem in the center, which contrasted with the cherry blossoms on the cheongsam and became the finishing touch.
By the time An Yunxi finished her styling, Zhou Shiyan had been waiting in the living room for a long time.
Today he is wearing a neat black suit, a white shirt and an exquisite bow tie, which makes him look even more handsome and elegant.
The moment he saw An Yunxi, a hint of surprise and obsession flashed in his deep eyes.
"Wife, you look so beautiful today." Zhou Shiyan walked forward, took An Yunxi's hand, and gently kissed the back of her hand.
An Yunxi smiled slightly and said angrily, "You are just sweet-talking."
After they had packed up, the two of them got in the car driven by Du and came to the Zhou family's old house.
Tonight’s birthday party is held in the old house.
When night falls quietly and the lights come on, the old house is decorated with bright lights and looks magnificent.
The two of them walked slowly into the banquet hall hand in hand, like a pair of golden boy and jade girl.
In an instant, the entire banquet hall seemed to be quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on them like spotlights.
In the eyes of everyone, the two of them walked lightly, had graceful figures, and showed elegance in their every move.
In the banquet hall, the guests were laughing and talking happily, and their clothes were elegant.
The huge crystal chandelier casts brilliant light, reflecting on everyone's face. The table was filled with delicious food and the aroma of wine was everywhere.
This was the first time An Yunxi appeared in Beijing's upper class circles after their marriage.
Therefore, from the moment she stepped into the banquet hall, everyone present's eyes fell on her intentionally or unintentionally, and they secretly commented on the bride.
At this time, Grandpa Zhou was sitting in the main seat. Although he was old, he was still energetic and radiant.
When he saw An Yunxi and Zhou Shiyan walking in together, a kind smile immediately broke out on his face, which was full of traces of time.
An Yunxi and Zhou Shiyan stepped forward and bowed to Grandpa Zhou, "Grandpa, I wish you a happy birthday, and may you be blessed with good fortune and a long life. This is a small gift we prepared for you, I hope you like it."
As he spoke, he handed over the brocade box in his hand.
Grandpa Zhou took the gifts with a big smile on his face, opened them one by one and looked at them, his eyes full of love: "Great, this bottle is from the Qianlong period, right? And this jade paperweight is finely carved and has a good meaning. You are very thoughtful."
"Grandpa, I also drew a picture for you, I hope you don't mind."
"Oh? Let me see it quickly." The old man became interested when he heard it.
He had long heard that his granddaughter-in-law Yun Xi was quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting. Even Old Yun often boasted to him that Yun Xi had given him and his mother-in-law many exquisite calligraphy and paintings. However, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't help feeling curious.
Now that he heard that Yun Xi had specially made a painting for him, he couldn't wait to feast his eyes on it.
An Yunxi opened my long brocade box that contained the painting, took out the scroll and handed it to me.
The old man hurriedly took it and gently unfolded the scroll.
In an instant, a lifelike picture of pine and crane appeared before my eyes. The pine trees in the picture are tall and vigorous, with lush branches and leaves, as if standing proudly in the cold wind.
The cranes are either flapping their wings and flying high or strolling leisurely, each with its own unique posture, vivid and lifelike.
The whole painting has a clever composition and delicate brushwork, which makes people admire it.
The picture of pine and crane is nice.
The pine tree is evergreen all year round and withstands the frost and snow with pride, and is regarded as a symbol of longevity and purity.
The crane is graceful and elegant, symbolizing longevity, peace, elegance and wealth.
Zhou Yanfeng was very fond of this painting given by his granddaughter-in-law.
"Old Yun, Lin Ying, come and take a look, Yun Xi's painting is really good!"
Although he is not professional in appreciating calligraphy and painting, he can be sure that his granddaughter-in-law's paintings are not bad.
This is a talent that both calligraphy and art associations are vying for.
Thinking of this, the old man looked at Yun Xi with more kindness and pride.
Upon hearing this, Yun Guoping and Huang Linying hurried forward to check.
After appreciating it, Huang Linying was the first to speak: "Not bad, not bad, this painting of pine and crane has a grand layout, a precise structure, a harmonious and natural style, a coherent brushwork, and a vivid spirit. It is a masterpiece!"
"Mr. Zhou, Master Huang, can you let us take a look too?"
