Chapter 110
The maids and servants took the luggage off the carriage.
Luo Chaoyan led everyone to the pomegranate tree.
"Grandma, mother, it's cool here, you can rest here for a while."
As she said that, she asked Fengli and Shulan to bring the watermelon juice that she had prepared earlier.
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Grandma, mother, this is the watermelon I just asked someone to buy from the fields this morning. I squeezed the watermelon juice and added some goat milk. You can try it."
This is her most outstanding masterpiece besides grilled fish. Open a lid on the top of the watermelon, take out the flesh, mash out the juice, add some ice cubes and some goat milk, and it will be a modern watermelon milk ice.
She handed each person a small hollow bamboo stick and said, "This is a straw. Just put it in and suck."
Huo Shun and others were very curious about this novel way of eating watermelon, but they firmly believed that as long as Mrs. Huo said it was delicious, it must be delicious.
So they all started drinking it impatiently.
When the sweetness of watermelon juice and the fragrance of goat milk are added with some ice cubes, people will feel refreshed immediately.
Huo An looked at them enviously as they drank so sweetly. If he had known earlier, he should not have finished his own drink first, so now he has to watch them drink. Thousands of
He looked at Luo Chaoyan in a flattering manner, wanting her to give him some more to drink, but Luo Chaoyan ignored him and her face fell. My mother is so cruel.
Mrs. Huo drank the sweet watermelon juice with a look of satisfaction on her face. Seeing his greedy look, she felt distressed and said to Luo Chaoyan in a blaming way, "Why didn't you give An An some?"
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Grandma, An An has already drunk a lot. Watermelon is cold, and I'm afraid he'll have a stomachache at night if he drinks too much."
Mrs. Huo nodded and said, "Ayan is right."
Seeing this, Mrs. Huo didn't know what to say.
After everyone finished drinking the watermelon juice, Luo Chaoyan happily talked about the dinner.
When she had almost finished speaking, Huo Rui quietly pulled Luo Chaoyan aside and said, "Huo Yu and the others are going to perform a show tonight."
Luo Chaoyan raised her eyebrows and said, "He is willing to perform? Did you offer him something in exchange?" She was well aware of Huo Yu's mercenary nature.
Huo Rui coughed lightly and said, "I said you have a gift for him."
Luo Chaoyan was stunned, "How do you know I will give them gifts?"
"You really prepared a gift?" Huo Rui was a little surprised. He originally wanted to trick Huo Yu, but this was an accidental success?
Luo Chaoyan nodded and said, "I've prepared everything for you, so I'll just give it to you as a gift." Just think of it as giving them gifts for Children's Day.
Huo Rui's face lit up with joy, and he said proudly, "Let me make it clear first, today is my birthday, so my gift must be the biggest."
Luo Chaoyan pursed her lips and chuckled, thinking to herself, of course your gift is the biggest, and it will be unforgettable for you.
"Also, you have to tell Huo Yu that whoever's performance is funnier will get the best gift." Huo Rui did not forget to remind him.
Luo Chaoyan understood instantly, it turned out that this guy was cheating people again! However, she was also looking forward to Huo Yu's performance.
…
evening
The birthday party that Huo Rui and his children had been looking forward to began.
The Lotus Manor was very lively, with lanterns placed in every corner of the courtyard.
The banquet was set up in the yard, and it was quite interesting to look up and see the moon and stars.
Old Madam Huo sat at the top, and Huo An chose to stick close to her in order to have some delicious food. Tutor Huo and his wife and Luo Chaoyan and her husband sat on each side, and then there were Huo Rui and his children.
In order to allow Huo Yu and the others to perform, Luo Chaoyan had a bonfire built in the middle of the yard.
Everyone first raised their glasses to toast the elders of the Huo family, and then to Huo Rui, wishing him some birthday wishes.
After three rounds of drinks, Luo Chaoyan stood up and took on her important responsibility for the evening - host.
She cleared her throat, bowed to the elders of the Huo family, and said, "Today is Xiao Rui's birthday, so the Huo Yu kids want to celebrate and add some joy to it by performing for everyone."
Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "Okay!"
Master Huo's usually serious face also showed some smiles, and he said generously: "If you perform well, I will give you some rare and precious copies."
Huo Shun and the others smiled awkwardly, but thought to themselves that it was really unnecessary.
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "In order to make the performance more exciting, I will also add some prizes. Whoever performs well and makes everyone happy will get this prize."
Huo Shun and the others became excited upon hearing this, and they all looked forward to what kind of gift the lady would give.
"The first program is Huo Shun, and he will bring everyone a piece of music." Luo Chaoyan announced.
Huo Shun took a few leaves and walked to the campfire nervously. To be honest, there was nothing to be nervous about normally, but now that Master Huo was here, he felt a little nervous.
He first bowed, then took out a leaf and blew it. As he was a little nervous, he blew too hard and lost his grip on the leaf, so it fell to the ground.
Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this.
When Huo Shun saw everyone laughing, the tension in his heart eased. Hehe, the madam said that making everyone happy can also be considered an assessment.
He took out another leaf and blew it gently, and a relaxed and cheerful rhythm suddenly sounded.
After the song was over, he retreated like a fighting hero amid the applause of the crowd. Hehe, this is his specialty, even better than his homework.
"Huo Shun performed well!" Luo Chaoyan praised with a smile.
"Next up is Hozer, who's going to perform er... throwing darts."
A servant came up with a wooden target with an apple stuck in the center.
Huo Ze took a deep breath and then took the small dart handed to him by the servant.
Everyone looked at him expectantly.
Huo Ze took out a dart, squinted his eyes, aimed at the apple, raised his hand and threw it out.
With a "pop", the dart fell to the ground without even touching the target.
He laughed shyly at everyone, then raised the dart again and threw it over with bated breath.
With a "swish" sound, the dart was firmly inserted into the apple.
Everyone couldn't help but applaud him.
He threw nine balls in a row, but only three fell to the ground; the others were firmly stuck in the apple.
"Good!" Madam Huo smiled, "As expected of a descendant of the Huo family, you remain calm in times of danger."
"Thank you, old lady, for the compliment!" Huo Ze smiled and bowed to her.
When Huo Ze sat down at his seat, Huo came over and asked, "When did you learn this, kid? You hid it well enough."
Huo Ze raised his chest and said, "The boss is learning martial arts, so naturally I can't be too bad."
Luo Chaoyan looked at Huo Yu with a smile, and then announced, "Next up is our wise and brave Huo Yu. He...he's performing a joke for everyone."
Huo Yu first went to change his clothes. When he came out, everyone was shocked at first, and then they couldn't help laughing.
Huo Yu was seen wearing women's clothes, with a lot of blush on his face and a big black mole at the corner of his lips. He looked like a matchmaker.
As if to make it more realistic, he deliberately imitated the matchmaker's way of twisting her waist while walking, and from time to time he threw a few seductive glances at everyone, and then began his wonderful performance.
Luo Chaoyan was amazed. This guy was really hardworking. With his adaptability, he would definitely become a high-ranking official in the future.
