Meng Mansion, Huayang County.
Today is the birthday of Meng Hongru, the old patriarch of the Meng family. It can be said that all the major families in Huayang County that have marriage alliances with the Meng family have come to the banquet.
The three Lu Yuan sisters followed the Si family into the Meng Mansion and quickly attracted the attention of all the guests.
"Isn't that the head of the Lu family?"
"Could the child next to Lu Yuan be the brother who came back from the dead?"
These days, the Meng family has intentionally or unintentionally revealed that the eldest wife of the Lu family, the richest family in Huayang County, was persecuted by the daughter of the Cui family's married daughter, in order to confuse the Cui family.
"It must be that child."
"Those who survive a great disaster will surely be blessed in the future. Look at this face of wealth and honor."
"Who is the young woman next to Lu Yuan?"
"The second young lady of the Lu family."
"Don't you think she's stupid? She doesn't look like one, and she's so pretty... I wonder if she doesn't..."
Su Ningjie was thinking about returning to Xishui County after dinner and had no intention of making friends with these grandfathers, uncles and aunts at all.
Under the introduction of Mrs. Simeng, Su Ningjie handed the birthday gift to the kind and amiable Meng Hongru and said a birthday speech.
After greeting Lu Yuan and Lu Yao, he took his maids Yun Yi and Wei Ying to walk around the sparsely populated lotus pond, waiting for the banquet to start so that they could finish their meal quickly and leave.
"Young master, be careful, this lotus pond is very deep." Yun Yi hurriedly took Su Ningjie away from the lotus pond.
Seeing that the maid Yun Yi was truly protecting him, Su Ningjie smiled sweetly at her, "Sister Yun Yi, don't worry, I will be careful and meticulous."
How can the young master be so cute?
Before Yun Yi could speak, a malicious child's voice came from behind her:
"Are you the young master of the Lu family who survived the mass grave?"
Su Ningjie turned around and saw a group of children surrounding a child who was half a head shorter than him.
He was wearing the finest brocade fabric from his Lu family's Jinxiufang.
Su Ningjie curled his lips slightly, "Yes, it's me, I am the young master of the Lu family, Lu Hanyu, who are you?"
A fat little man in white said, "He is the young master of the Meng family's eldest house, Meng Yunqian. He is the great-great-grandson of today's birthday man."
Another fat boy in blue said, "Don't look at Master Meng as he's only four years old, but he's the eldest of us brothers. You're just the son of a merchant, why don't you come over and kowtow to him and acknowledge him as your big brother?"
"That's right, hurry up. Your Lu family's business will be taken care of by several of us 'big' families in the future."
So angry!
I came to a party and encountered such a bad thing.
Su Ningjie looked at Meng Yunqian with a cold face, "Are you Meng Yunqian, the young master of the Meng family's eldest house?"
Meng Yunqian nodded. "Yes, it was me. I remember that our Meng family didn't send an invitation to your Lu family. How did you sneak in? However, if you recognize me as your elder brother, I won't bother with you. And I will protect you in Huayang County from now on. No one will dare to bully you."
"Brother, how can we not care? He is just the son of a merchant, a country boy. You should at least give each of us a gift, that would be justified." A child who looked to be about seven or eight years old and was wearing a Canglang-colored round-necked brocade robe said with a bad look.
Su Ningjie looked at him and frowned. This kid had a prejudice against him.
Has he ever offended him?
It seems necessary to conduct a thorough investigation of the children of these so-called big families.
After all, they are of the same age.
"Brother, let him treat us to a meal of divine dishes and tomato dishes at Luyuan Qionglou. We won't bother with him for coming uninvited."
The other brothers were drooling at the thought of the divine food, and they kept agreeing, "Yes, yes, yes, if you treat us to a free meal of divine food, we will accept him as our brothers."
Su Ningjie laughed when he heard this. They were a bunch of poor guys who came to him to extort a meal.
If he became their younger brother today, wouldn't they always take advantage of him?
He won't do business that will lose money.
"Meng Yunqian, the wife of the Si family's head, Mrs. Meng, is my aunt. She specifically asked my eldest brother-in-law to bring me to the Meng family for a banquet. It doesn't make sense for me to come uninvited. This is the first reason."
"Secondly, my eldest brother-in-law and your grandfather are cousins. According to seniority, you should call me cousin grandpa. You are not qualified to be my eldest brother at all. It is against common sense to mess up the seniority. Come on, call me cousin grandpa and let me hear it." Su Ningjie said while picking his ears.
Meng Yunqian's face instantly turned ugly. The people behind him were all from families not as good as his Meng family.
Wouldn't it be humiliating to call him cousin grandpa? How would he get his brothers to obey him in the future? Just as he was about to open his mouth to attack, a sneer suddenly rang out.
"Hahaha...cousin grandfather? The kind of cousin from three thousand miles away, right? The young master of the Meng family asked you to be his brother because he thinks highly of you. You, the son of a merchant, are dreaming of being the cousin grandfather of a noble family. Why don't you go to the lotus pond to check your face?"
"That's right." The other children echoed in unison.
Su Ningjie looked at the child who was making a fuss. It was this kid again.
This person not only had a prejudice against him, but also seemed to have some hostility towards him.
Su Ningjie suppressed the urge to punch him in the head.
Today is my eldest brother-in-law's grandfather's birthday, he can't act on impulse.
It would be easy to beat him up, but I don't know his background, so I can't act rashly.
Su Ningjie curled his lips into a smile and said to him, "You want to provoke me? Are you trying to persecute the Meng family's old man's happy and peaceful birthday party today?"
"You're talking nonsense!" the boy in the brocade-colored clothes argued cunningly.
"Am I talking nonsense?" Su Ningjie looked at Meng Yunqian. "The lotus pond is just a few steps behind me. He angered me with his words, just to force me to fall into the lotus pond and kill me. If anything happens to me here, you will be the first person to be held accountable. Open your eyes and take a good look. Does this little brother really regard you as his big brother?"
The boy was anxious, "Brother, don't listen to him, he is trying to sow discord between us brothers."
Su Ningjie's heart hardened, "Yun Yi, go to the front hall and shout loudly that I was pushed into the lotus pond."
Yun Yi:!!!!
Wei Ying: ???
Boys: What does he want to do?
Su Ningjie turned around and walked quickly towards the lotus pond.
Everyone was shocked!
"Stop him quickly!" Meng Yunqian shouted and hurried forward to stop him.
Wei Ying rushed over and grabbed him by the waist, taking him ten meters away from the lotus pond.
After everyone looked panicked, they were angry but dared not speak.
This guy is so mean and cruel for openly plotting against them!
Su Ningjie glanced at their expressions and his eyes fell on the boy, only to see that he had a face full of resentment.
Then he looked at Meng Yunqian and said, "Now believe what I say. If I get angry and something happens in your Meng Mansion, your great-great-grandfather's birthday party will be ruined. He can't stand such a stimulus. What do you think?"
Meng Yunqian had to admit that he had the urge to teach the guy who had made him lose face a lesson.
The position he was standing in just now made it easy for him to fall in if pushed, and the consequences would be disastrous.
"If you don't want to be my little brother, then forget it. But it's absolutely impossible for me to call you uncle grandpa."
Meng Yunqian turned around and said to everyone, "The birthday banquet is about to start, let's go over there quickly."
"Wei Ying, go find out who that kid is from?"
