Chapter 467: Birthday celebration (2)

The next day, almost noon, the Luo Mansion in Chang'an was not a big house, and it became lively.

"General of the Zuowu Guard, Duke Yiguo is here!"

"General of Right Wu Guard, Duke Lu is here!"

"Shangshu Pushe, Situ, Duke of Qi has arrived!"

"The Empress, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!!"

“…”

As the Luo Mansion Manager sang loudly, more and more people with extremely prominent identities rushed to the small courtyard of the Luo Mansion. The living room of the Luo Mansion, which was not very spacious, suddenly became crowded. As a last resort, the Luo Mansion Manager had to set up some tables and chairs in the wing room and the courtyard for guests to sit in the seats.

Of course, according to Chang Li, people like Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Changsun Wuji who have outstanding status and high moral character were all taken to the main hall.

"Originally, it was just an ordinary birthday. Lao Chen didn't want to be too extravagant and noisy. He just wanted to celebrate with Tong'er casually."

"After all, you all have your own affairs to do, and don't want to disturb you. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, I have never sent anyone a invitation. The junction said, "I just don't miss you," holding Empress Changsun's hand, Luo Qi said with some emotion: "Empress, Your Highness, Your Highness, Brother Shubao, Brother Zhijie, you are all here."

Looking at the old people present, Luo Qi was somewhat moved. More than ten years have passed, but they have not forgotten themselves and their Luo family.

"How can I not come to my old sister's birthday? I'm here to meet us!" Empress Changsun patted Luo Qi's little hand lightly, and there was something a bit of blame in her words, but this kind of blame was very heartwarming.

"What the Empress said is not bad. If we brothers and sisters' birthdays are not here, what do we say? Cough cough cough..." As he said, Qin Qiong couldn't help coughing for another time, his whole face was red by the cough, and the blue veins on his forehead also burst out. It looked really scary. Over the days, his body has become worse and worse.

"General Qin!" "Brother Qin!" "Second brother!" "Uncle Qin!"

Seeing Qin Qiong's uncomfortable look, the group couldn't help but look at him with worry, and everyone's hearts were also a little sad. Who would have thought that a pair of golden maces that shook Qin Shubao in the world and one of the few heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty would now turn into this?

The heroes are old and they are all old.

"Second brother, do you want to invite the doctor in the mansion to see?" Cheng Yaojin sat next to Qin Qiong. Seeing that Qin Qiong seemed to be sick, he hurriedly stepped forward and gently stroked Qin Qiong's back, and asked with a worried look on his face.

"Yes, Tong'er, go and invite the gentleman from the mansion for you Uncle Qin!" Mrs. Luo also looked sad and worried, and hurriedly spoke to Luo Tong because Mrs. Luo's health has always been bad, and there have always been some doctors in the Luo Mansion with extremely skilled medical skills. It doesn't take too much time to call the doctor over.

"No need, it's all old problems. It's going to be fine after a while. I'm fine!" After a while, Qin Qiong's cough stopped slightly, and the people present waved their hands slightly, indicating that they didn't have to worry.

"Today is the birthday of my brother and sister. It's a big day. Don't lose this joy because of my body. Although I am old, I have not reached the point of being unable to move. Please feel at ease with my brother and sister and the Queen!" After receiving the tea handed over by Yao Jinduan, he took a sip of it and suppressed the anxiety that was just a little restless. Qin Qiong sat upright again and looked as if he was safe.

"Okay, Xiao Tong'er, come back. The second brother said it's okay, it's okay, and there's no need to call him a doctor!" Seeing that Luo Tong was still standing there watching and not knowing how to do it, Cheng Yaojin shouted him back in a loud voice. After spending decades with his second brother, Cheng Yaojin knew his temperament very well. The second brother was a person who wanted face.

"Well, okay, Yao Jin, you go back and sit down too!" He raised his hand and reslapped Cheng Yao Jin's shoulder. Qin Qiong spoke again and said, "Second brother will have a few more drinks with you later!"

All of us here are people with extraordinary minds. Judging from Qin Qiong's current appearance, they also guessed some reasons. They couldn't help but tactfully avoided lingering on this issue. After a few casual greetings, they inadvertently returned to Luo Qi's birthday. However, even so, everyone did not let go of their worries about the body of the Yiguo Duke, and were always carefully observing Qin Qiong's face and physical condition, for fear that something would happen.

He also respected this founding veteran general who had been Zeng Fengyun for the first time, as many as Li Chengqian, Li Ke and Luo Tong.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Hahaha, Jingde is here to celebrate your birthday!"

Because of Qin Qiong's body, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat depressing, but at this moment, an old man with a black face but strong face stepped in from the outside, and shouted loudly inside his mouth. His voice was extremely bright, which made the beams of the hall tremble.

Yuchi Jingde thought of this name, everyone showed a smile on their faces, curled their lips, and watched Yuchi Gong walk from outside.

"Uh? Empress, Prince, and Second Brother have arrived, so I seem to be late again!" Seeing the crowded heads in the hall, Yuchi Jingde muttered in a low voice, hurriedly putting his fists in front of Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian, then raised his steps with a smile, squeezed to Qin Qiong, bent over to say hello to the second brother, and then sat between Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, not caring about Cheng Yaojin's glare and dissatisfaction.

"I'm going to come from all the way. Lao Jingde is worried about his birthday!" Seeing that Yuchi Jingde was still as careless as before, Luo Qi smiled and nodded to look at him.

"You are polite. In the past, my sister-in-law and Tongnie were not in Chang'an. It would be fine if Jingde could not go in person when he was birthday. Now that it is approaching, if Jingde doesn't come, I'm afraid even my second brother won't forgive me!" Beside Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde laughed loudly again.

"hehe..."

The atmosphere in the hall became light and cheerful after Yuchi Jingde was stirred up. Luo Tong looked out and saw that the sun was already empty. It was noon, so he stood up and told Luo Qi, "It's almost time, mother, have the banquet?"

"Well," Luo Qi nodded slightly, gave an order to the butler Luo Xiang, and then bowed to Empress Changsun and the others and asked: "Empress, Brother Qin, let's take our seats first!"

"Today is my sister's birthday. The elder sister is the first to ask for it!" Empress Changsun chuckled and helped Luo Qi up. She couldn't help but oppose it. She pulled her to sit in the head first, and then sat down on the right side of Luo Qi. Qin Qiong and the princes, Luo Tong and several princes also took their seats at will.

During the meal, the housekeeper Luo Xiang stood beside him and asked Empress Changsun and Luo Qi for advice: "Empress, old lady, in the morning, a young man brought a singer over and said that he wanted to send a song of Miaoge to celebrate the birthday of the old lady. I wonder if he would invite her to come up and sing now?"

"Oh?" Luo Qi and Empress Changsun were all moved in their hearts. They guessed who the person came for. Luo Qi raised his eyes and asked Empress Changsun for instructions, then waved his hand to Luo Xiang and ordered: "Please come up first, well, the original singing and dancing in the mansion leaned back first."

"Yes, old lady!" Luo Xiang bent over and bowed, turned around and made a gesture to the servant waiting aside, and then bent over and waited behind Luo Qi again.

"This young man is also here to celebrate Mrs. Luo's birthday?" In the backyard of Luo Mansion, in front of the most inconspicuous wine table, Liu Yi was quietly savoring the wine on the table. A child about twelve or twelve years old raised his glass and came over and asked Liu Yi softly.

"Why did this little brother ask this?" Seeing that the child was looking at him curiously, Liu Yi looked up and down, and felt a little clear. Compared to the others around him, his clothes were really worn and somewhat incompatible with the place. Liu Yi chuckled, raised his hand and poured a glass of wine, and asked the child: "Will this little brother think that he came for free?"

"Little brother?" Hearing Liu Yi's name, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed happily. The little adult bowed his hand and said to Liu Yi: "This guy is joking. You are so arrogant. How could you do such an unbearable act? Haha, little brother Li Zhen, I wonder what this brother is called?"

"Liu Yifan!" Liu Yifan bowed his hand and asked Li Zhen to sit aside casually. He picked up the pot and poured a glass of wine by himself. Seeing that Li Zhen was holding a glass of wine in his hand, he spoke to him: "Young brother is not suitable for drinking alcohol at this age, especially for the spirits like 'Three bowls of nowhere'. It is better to drink less in the future."

"Uh?" Li Zhen looked at Liu Yiyi in surprise. Why did he say this to him as soon as he met? Although Liu Yifan's words were a little stiff, the trace of care and concern in his words still moved Li Zhen a little. No one had said these words to him like this for a long time. Li Zhen felt a little fond of affection and closeness in his heart for the stranger he had just met.
