On Thursday, Chu Yang asked for leave from his counselor and prepared to go to the Jiang family to attend the birthday banquet.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered that he had not prepared a gift, and he couldn't help but get anxious.

The Jiang family is also a wealthy family in the local area. If he goes empty-handed, he will inevitably be regarded as a bad guest.

While scratching his head, Chu Yang suddenly remembered something.

Last night, when Jiang Xiaoyuan invited him to the banquet, he talked a lot about the Jiang family.

There was one thing that he remembered very clearly.

According to Jiang Xiaoyuan, Mr. Jiang joined the army when he was young, and he got a root of illness during the war, and he has been troubled by coldness.

Over the years, the Jiang family has visited many famous doctors, but none of them have cured this disease, so when winter comes, the old man can only stay in a warm place.

Thinking of this, Chu Yang couldn't help but think about it. He couldn't afford antique calligraphy and paintings, but he could give some small things to relieve the pain, which was also a good thing.

There were many guests at the banquet this time. Chu Yang learned from the lesson of the rejuvenation pill and did not choose elixirs or other things, so as not to be missed by others.

After searching on Tianjie Taobao, he chose a piece of pendant called "Yanyang Jade Talisman".

The material used for this jade talisman is called "Ten Thousand Years Warm Jade". After being carefully carved by the weapon refiner and then engraved with the magic array pattern, it can absorb spiritual energy on its own and convert it into heat to provide to the owner.

With this thing, Mr. Jiang will surely be much better off in winter.

On the bus, Chu Yang bargained with the store owner for half an hour before buying the Yanyang Jade Talisman for 2,500 spirit stones.

About 20 minutes later, the bus arrived at the terminal in the suburbs, and Chu Yang got off the bus.

The Jiang family is a wealthy family. Not only does it have a villa in the city, but it also built a large-scale summer resort in the suburbs.

According to the location sent by Jiang Xiaoyuan, Chu Yang went all the way east and arrived at Yonghui Garden where the birthday banquet was held a few minutes later.

Yonghui Garden is a standard square layout, surrounded by high walls, surrounded by patches of flowers and plants, and a large parking lot on the side.

At this time, the parking lot is already full of various luxury cars, just like an international auto show.

Chu Yang walked around the parking lot and walked to the main entrance of Yonghui Garden.

There are two lifelike stone lions at the entrance of the garden, and festive birthday couplets have been posted on the two pillars next to the main entrance.

Upper couplet: Enjoy the longevity of the bells and live longer than the pines in the southern mountains.

Lower couplet: Enjoy the prosperity of the times and be blessed like the long flow of the East China Sea.

This is a standard birthday couplet. Although Chu Yang doesn't know much about calligraphy, he can see that the font of this couplet is elegant and elegant, and the strokes are like clouds and smoke. It can be seen that it was written by a master of calligraphy.

"Chu Yang, why are you here?"

Just as Chu Yang was admiring the couplet, a discordant voice suddenly came from behind him.

Turning around, he saw Yang Wanli looking at him suspiciously.

Next to Yang Wanli, there stood a group of well-dressed young men and women.

The leader of this group was a young man with oily hair and powdered face.

Hearing Yang Wanli speak, he couldn't help but ask: "Yang Wanli, is he your friend?"

Yang Wanli was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he waved his hand hurriedly: "Mr. Jiang, he is not my friend. Maybe he heard that there was a happy event in the garden and wanted to sneak in to eat and drink."

"So that's it. I thought he was your friend and wanted to invite him in."

Mr. Jiang shook his head, waved his hand, and walked forward with the group of people.

"Bah, you are worthy of going in?"

Yang Wanli deliberately fell behind. After the people left, he laughed at Chu Yang with contempt, and then he walked into the garden arrogantly.

Chu Yang's face sank slightly, suppressed his anger and walked towards the gate.

There were still a few people standing in front of the gate of Yonghui Garden, among whom there was a man who looked like a butler, who was registering the names of the guests at the long table.

Although he was ridiculed by Yang Wanli, Chu Yang would not be so stingy as to turn around and leave. He stepped forward and said to the housekeeper: "Junior Chu Yang, I have come to congratulate Mr. Jiang on his birthday."

The housekeeper looked him up and down, then looked behind him, and asked: "Do you have an invitation?"

"An invitation is needed?"

Chu Yang was stunned for a moment. When Jiang Xiaoyuan invited him yesterday, he did not mention that an invitation was needed for the banquet.

"Yes, if there is no invitation, I'm sorry I can't invite you in." The housekeeper was quite polite and bowed to him apologetically.

Chu Yang had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and call Jiang Xiaoyuan to ask her to answer the phone, but no one answered the phone.

There were many guests at the Jiang family today, and soon more than ten people came to congratulate. Chu Yang had no one to take him in, so he had to stand aside and wait.

At this time, a familiar shadow appeared in the crowd.

Chu Yang was slightly stunned. Isn't this He Lu?

He Lu was also a little surprised to see Chu Yang, but he didn't go over to talk to him.

When registering his name with the steward, He Lu quietly asked about Chu Yang's situation.

Hearing that he could not enter because he did not have an invitation, He Lu felt relieved.

The Jiang family is not an ordinary family. For ordinary people like Chu Yang, it is probably a pipe dream to step into the Jiang family.

With a change of mind, He Lu apologized to the steward: "The little brother over there is a friend of mine. Since he wants to see the grandeur of Yonghui Garden, can I ask for a favor and let him in to broaden his horizons?"

"This..."

The steward looked at Chu Yang in embarrassment, and after a while he said: "Since Mr. He is the guarantor, it's okay to let him go in and take a look."

"Thank you very much."

He Lu smiled coldly and walked into the garden.

"Sir, you can go in now."

After He Lu entered, a young man walked over and said to Chu Yang.

"Can we go in?"

Chu Yang was quite surprised. He had been standing far away before and had not looked at He Lu. He thought that Jiang Xiaoyuan had sent someone to invite him, so he walked in casually.

After entering Yonghui Garden, Chu Yang looked around and found that the classical garden had been decorated to a festive style.

In every corner of Yonghui Garden, there were small square tables with various cold dishes, snacks and drinks on them.

There were already quite a few guests in the garden, all gathered in groups of three or two to chat and laugh, and some even held wine glasses and greeted familiar people.

Chu Yang didn't know anyone and didn't know where to go, so he just mixed with these people and ate some fruit snacks as a pastime.

While listening to gossip, Chu Yang learned a lot about the Jiang family.

It is said that Mr. Jiang has two sons and one daughter.

The eldest son Jiang Bin and his wife died in a car accident, leaving behind Jiang Yuntao and Jiang Xiaoyuan.

The second son Jiang Feng is now 46 years old, and his only son Jiang Yunfeng is the young man called Jiang Shao by Yang Wanli.

In addition, he has a daughter who has married and came back today to celebrate her father's birthday.

Yonghui Garden is quite large, with more than a dozen small courtyards of different styles.

Chu Yang was inspired and planned to visit them all.

Unexpectedly, on the way to another small courtyard, he ran into Jiang Yunfeng and his group of rich young men again!
