Chapter 308 Xu Laosan: I am so miserable!
"This brat finally has some manners!"
In the crowd, Mr. Xu saw the figure of Mr. Xu San and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Mr. Xu felt a little bad that Xu Lao San hadn't been able to show up at Mr. Wang's birthday party, but now that Xu Lao San was here, that was great.
Wait, don’t be too happy too soon!
When Mr. Xu saw that Third Xu came empty-handed, the smile on his face froze slightly.
If you come to celebrate a birthday, you must bring a gift!
But my youngest son looks like this, how can he look like he has any gifts?
Noticing the strange way Old Third Xu walked, Old Master Xu probably understood what had happened. It must have been Old Third Xu who had only just remembered the matter at the last minute, and that's why he hurried back.
The etiquette is there, but I'm afraid the gifts are not prepared.
"I, your daughter, congratulate my father-in-law on his 50th birthday. I wish you a happy birthday every year, and may you be blessed with as much wealth as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!"
It's a very ordinary birthday greeting, but that doesn't matter.
Whether it was the onlookers or Mr. Wang’s sons and daughters, they were all waiting to see Xu Laosan’s gift.
"I know that my father-in-law is very fond of Guanshui Shanren's calligraphy. This time, I happened to get an authentic work of Guanshui Shanren. I hope my father-in-law will appreciate it!"
As he spoke, Xu Laosan took out a narrow scroll from his sleeve and presented it to Mr. Wang with both hands.
"Okay, okay, you're thoughtful!"
Mr. Wang took the narrow scroll and was about to hand it to the housekeeper beside him to put away, but someone next to him immediately started to make a fuss.
"Wang Weng, this is an authentic work by Guanshui Shanren. It's a rare find!"
"Why don't you unfold it and let us feast our eyes?"
"That's right, that's right. Happiness alone is not as good as happiness shared with others. Mr. Wang, you can't enjoy it alone!"
A group of scholars who were on good terms with Mr. Wang started to speak up, and Mr. Wang was really unable to cope.
Mr. Wang was actually unsure about the authentic painting of Guanshuishanren given by Xu Laosan.
Guanshuishanren is a strange man who is like a dragon that can only be seen from the head but not the tail.
Although there are not many calligraphy works in the world, each one has profound meaning and the charm contained in it is truly a breathtaking masterpiece.
It was no secret that Mr. Wang was fond of Guanshuishanren's calligraphy, but his works were priceless.
Now, unable to resist the requests of the crowd, Mr. Wang had no choice but to unfold this narrow scroll.
As the scroll unfolded, the portrait inside was revealed to everyone.
Pine and crane prolong life!
On the strange peaks and steep mountains, solitary pines face the wind and cranes spread their wings. Just one glance makes people feel as if they are there.
"good!"
After just one glance, the smile on Mr. Wang's face could no longer be concealed and bloomed completely.
This is truly the authentic work of Guanshuishanren!
"As long as my father-in-law likes it!"
Xu Laosan bowed to Mr. Wang again, then took his wife's hand and stepped aside.
Next, the birthday celebrations and gift presentations continued.
However, no one else could cause such a sensation as Xu Lao San.
Wang stood beside Xu Laosan and really enjoyed the envious and jealous eyes of everyone.
When the birthday banquet started, Wang separated from Xu Lao San and returned to the women in the inner courtyard.
Third Xu went to see Old Master Xu, but Old Master Xu gave him a cold look and said, "Third Xu, your father's birthday is coming soon. What birthday gift have you prepared for me?"
“…”
Xu Laosan was stunned for a moment. The more arrogant he was just now, the more desperate he was now.
"Think about it carefully, your father is still waiting!"
Old Master Xu patted Old Third Xu on the shoulder and walked leisurely to the main table.
As for Xu Laosan, he went to the third table, but he didn't dare to sit down.
There was no way. When he was standing, he could not feel his butt, but when his butt sat down, it was absolute torture.
But can you just not sit at this birthday party?
It's understandable to stand temporarily, but if you stand the whole time, you will stand out from the crowd.
In the end, Xu Laosan could only take a deep breath and then sit down.
But this is not the end.
When the banquet starts and someone comes to toast you, can you not stand up?
So, poor Xu Laosan, he suffered a lot at this banquet.
The only thing to be thankful for was that Xu Laosan didn't drink.
After learning from his wife that his mother was also here, Xu Lao San knew that he absolutely could not drink this wine. Therefore, he could only replace the wine with tea.
As for Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er, they were just ordinary guests and could have a few drinks.
These two brothers can drink better than Xu Lao San and don't get drunk quickly.
However, the two brothers did not dare to drink too much. My mother is here, and if they don’t want to get punished, they have to control their mouths.
…
By the time the banquet was over, Xu Laosan was almost exhausted.
"Big brother, second brother, give me a hand!"
After walking laboriously to his eldest and second brothers, Xu Laosan simply hung on his two brothers' arms.
"Third brother, how much have you drunk? You're getting too bold!"
Xu Lao Er raised his hand and patted Xu Lao San on the face.
"Second brother, I didn't even drink a single glass!"
"My butt hurts!"
"I rode all night yesterday. I was so miserable!"
Hearing what Xu Lao San said, Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er looked at each other, then looked at their younger brother, and the same idea came to their minds.
This third brother is also a ruthless person!
Xu Lao Da had never experienced the pain of riding a horse overnight, but he could imagine it. However, Xu Lao Er had experienced the pain of riding a long distance before, when he followed Xu Lao Shi to rescue the King of Yan.
However, Xu Laoer has already mastered the riding skills. Riding a horse for a long distance doesn't hurt his buttocks, but it is mentally tiring.
But Xu Laosan is different!
Xu Laosan usually rode a horse from his home to the county town, but his white horse, which looked like an embroidered pillow, was completely unable to help him practice his riding skills.
"Third brother, you've worked hard!"
The two brothers looked at each other again, spoke in unison, and praised Xu Laosan highly.
"Let's go home and get you some medicine!"
"Uh, okay!"
What else could Xu Laosan say?
After walking out of Mr. Wang's house, Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er supported Xu Lao San and waited for a while, then they saw their father and mother coming out, followed closely by Wang, Zhou, Li and others.
The whole family walking together, especially the bunch of little kids, is really impressive.
"Third brother, you did a good job this time!"
When Old Mrs. Xu saw her youngest son, she couldn't help but praise him.
"Mom, this is what a son should do!"
Xu Laosan smiled bitterly, "I don't deserve your praise!"
"That's right, this kid might be too patient now. He can even find the calligraphy of Guanshuishanren!"
Old Master Xu said this with some jealousy, glancing meaningfully at Old Third Xu.
