On Saturday, the Sun family's mansion on the outskirts of Jinling was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it extremely festive. The servants started getting busy early in the morning.
As Mr. Sun, he could continue to live in the military compound even if he retired, but he still chose to move to this villa outside Jiming Temple to cultivate his moral character and cultivate his sentiments.
At nine o'clock in the morning, all kinds of cars came.
These cars are mainly black Audis. Although they are not the top luxury cars, the "oo1" and "oo2" military plates and various passes hung on the cars are enough to make people stagger.
At the door of the mansion, stood a middle-aged man, who was Mr. Sun's eldest son and the current head of the Sun family - Sun Botao.
At this time, a sixty-year-old man wearing a military uniform and fighting against the generals got out of an Audi car and walked to the door of the mansion. He smiled and said: "Haha... Bo Tao, long time no see! Today is the 80th anniversary of Mr. Sun."
Congratulations on your happy birthday!"
"Minister Zhang, you are here, please come in quickly!"
Sun Botao's face was full of smiles, and then he said to Sun Xiang behind him: "Xiao Xiang, hurry up and take Minister Zhang to the main hall to take a seat!"
"Yes, father!"
Sun Xiang nodded quickly, walked quickly to Minister Zhang, made a "please" gesture, and led him the way.
Minister Zhang is the top leader of the Logistics Department of the Jinling Military Region. He holds a high position and handles tens of billions of military expenses every year.
With his status, if he were to participate in other people's birthday banquets, he would definitely be the protagonist.
Even the birthday boy has to come out in person and wait at the gate to greet him.
Now, not only did the birthday man not show up, but Sun Botao also did not see him to his seat. Instead, he asked a young junior to see him in.
However, Minister Zhang has no dissatisfaction because he knows that he has no qualifications to put on airs here.
The guests in the main hall were at least equal to him, and even his immediate boss was there.
As for some high schools with two bars and four stars, they are not even qualified to sit in the main hall and can only squeeze in the side hall with the juniors.
Even so, they still flocked to attend the birthday banquet. Even if they couldn't attend due to important matters, they would still send expensive gifts.
…
In the spacious and magnificent main hall, there are more than a dozen large round tables, each table can accommodate ten people.
There were quite a few people at this moment, most of them wearing military uniforms with bright general stars on their shoulders, almost including the first and second leaders of various departments in the Jinling Military Region.
If anyone is pulled out and stamps his feet, the entire Jinling military community will tremble!
There are also some middle-aged men in suits and ties, whose brows reveal the aura of being in a position of power. They are obviously political bigwigs, and they have come specially to celebrate Mr. Sun's birthday.
Not only Jinling, but also all the bigwigs from the military and political circles of Jiangning Province gathered here.
Such a glorious scene has not appeared for many years.
Although Mr. Sun was once the chief of staff of the Jinling Military Region, he has been retired for many years and his prestige is not as good as before.
Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for him to hold a birthday banquet with such specifications and pomp.
However, many people have received news that today is not only a birthday party for Mr. Sun, but also a happy day for the marriage of the Sun and Hua families.
Most of the big guys present came here specifically for the sake of the Hua family.
You know, Commander Hua is the top leader of the Jinling Military Region, and his status is unmatched by anyone.
What's more important is that Commander Hua is only fifty-two years old this year, and he already has two generals on his shoulders. He is very likely to make further progress and become a general in the future.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
If you can become an in-law of the Hua family, the status of the Sun family will also rise.
…
At 11:30 noon, under the stars of the Sun family, Mr. Gongsun, the birthday boy, came to the main hall.
Today, he is wearing a red Tang suit. Although he is old, his waist is still straight and his eyes are bright, without any signs of decline of the elderly.
Seeing Mr. Sun's arrival, many big shots in the main hall immediately stopped talking and stood up one after another. With awe and solemnity on their faces, they bowed slightly towards the old man to show respect.
Sun Laojun fought hard all his life
On the battlefield and guarding the frontier, I have made great achievements, and my chest is almost full of the military medals I received.
Under everyone's attention, Mr. Sun walked to the center of the main table, showed a smile, and said solemnly: "Everyone, please sit down, you're welcome, just treat this place as your own home!"
At this moment, a young Sun family member rushed into the main hall and said breathlessly: "Master, Commander Hua's car is here!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a huge stone smashing into the calm water, causing thousands of waves.
Many of the big guys in the venue showed excitement and turned their heads to look at the gate with great anticipation.
At this time, Mr. Sun looked at Sun Botao next to him and said in a deep voice: "Botao, follow me out to greet you!"
"Yes, father!"
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Sun walked in the front, Sun Botao was half a body behind, and the others followed closely and walked outside.
Just as I walked out of the main hall, I saw an old man and a young man walking in from outside.
He is about fifty years old, with a Chinese-character face, not angry but powerful, he walks with the pace of a dragon and a tiger, and his movements reveal the aura of a warrior and an iron horse, and he has the air of a general.
It is none other than the top leader of the Jinling Military Region—Hua Changlong!
Behind him is a young man in his mid-twenties, with a tall and straight figure, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, sharp features, and a masculine and heroic aura, which is definitely not comparable to that of the young Goryeo country.
Hua Changlong walked quickly to Mr. Sun, bowed slightly, and then said with great energy: "Old Sun, today is your eightieth birthday. I wish you blessings like the East Sea, a life as long as the Southern Mountains, a prosperous sun and a bright moon.
Crane Changchun!"
"Hahaha..." Mr. Sun said with a smile: "Thank you, Changlong!"
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Sun cast his eyes on Hua Jianfei next to him, looked back and forth several times, and said, "Jianfei, this kid, is really a talented person. The more I look at him, the more I like him, old man!"
"Grandpa Sun, you are so complimentary!" Hua Jianfei said modestly, but he could not hide his smile.
"Jianfei, hurry up and get the birthday gifts out!" Hua Changlong ordered.
Upon hearing this, Hua Jianfei immediately took out a gift box.
For a moment, everyone in the venue craned their necks and focused their attention on Hua Jianfei's hands, wondering what kind of birthday gift the Hua family had given them.
Hua Jianfei didn't hold back and quickly opened the gift box.
Looking from a distance, I saw an jade pendant lying quietly inside, carved into the shape of a gourd.
However, the color of the jadeite is not the common emerald green, but three completely different colors of red, green and purple.
Bright sun green occupies the entirety of the emerald wall, followed by violet, which spirals up from the midsection, like a noble and elegant dress draped over the body. At the top, there is a touch of extremely bright red.
Under the sunlight, the three colors echo each other and blend perfectly, creating a gorgeous picture that makes people marvel at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Oh my God! It turns out to be the three-color jadeite of Fortune, Luth and Shou!"
"The Hua family is indeed very wealthy. It was an eye-opener for us to find such rare treasures!"
"It would not be an exaggeration to send jadeite of this level directly to a museum for collection!"
…
The so-called Fu Lu Shou jade refers to a special three-color jade.
Red is a symbol of blessing, green is a symbol of prosperity, and purple is a symbol of longevity.
"Gourd" is the same as "Fu Lu", so carving jadeite into the shape of a gourd is the best choice for birthday gifts.
If put at an auction, this top-quality jadeite could easily fetch a sky-high price of hundreds of millions of yuan.
Looking at this priceless jade, Mr. Sun's face was full of smiles and he said: "Changlong, you are serious!"
"Mr. Sun, as long as you like it!" Hua Changlong said, as if he thought of something, and asked: "By the way, why haven't you seen that girl Annie? Jianfei is at home, but he often talks about her!"
"Dad..." Hua Jianfei looked embarrassed when he heard this.
"My fair lady, a gentleman is so jealous! What is there to be embarrassed about?" Hua Changlong said loudly.
"Ha ha!"
When Mr. Sun heard this, he laughed heartily and said, "Annie is still dressing up in the back room, and she will come out later! Long queue, please stop standing at the door. Please come in quickly!"
