Chapter 106 Birthday Banquet
Jiang Lili asked: "Did you apply the dental tape on time?"
He Jing nodded and took off his veil.
The moment the veil was taken off, Jiang Lili was shocked. She even felt that the face under the veil was unfamiliar.
Since the transformation, He Jing has rarely shown up in front of them.
Now He Jing's face has changed from being bumpy and red to being flat and smooth.
His originally listless complexion became energetic because of regular exercise.
Although her facial features have not yet been enhanced by makeup, her whole person looks drastically changed and becomes very refreshed.
He Jingchai's thin body has become three-dimensional due to muscle building exercise and a balanced diet.
His broad shoulders made his head look smaller, and he looked much better even in that weirdly matched outfit.
Jiang Lili nodded with satisfaction: "He Lin has already picked out the clothes you will wear tomorrow."
"With the help of your personal maid Wuqiu's skillful hands in dressing you up, you will be the most handsome guy in the audience tomorrow!"
These days Jiang Lili has taught He Jing's personal maid Wu Qiu how to contour He Jing's face so that his flat nose stands out visually.
He Jing was already looking forward to tomorrow. He had a cheap, silly smile on his face, and his originally yellow teeth became white and beautiful thanks to the whitening strips.
Jiang Lili reminded him, "I have also prepared the birthday gift you prepared for your aunt. It is stored in a warehouse in the north of the city. Remember to send someone to pick it up early tomorrow morning."
After this period of planning, Jiang Lili has already prepared the flower order that He Jing had given her before, and also asked Xiaopang to customize a luxurious version of the fondant cake. She believes that the birthday gift presented by He Jing will definitely stand out -
Wait, Jiang Lili suddenly thought of something, and what about He Lin!
Although I can earn a lot of money by helping He Jing, He Lin is my own person, so I have to help him no matter what!
So Jiang Lili quickly poked He Lin in the group chat: [@He Lin, big star, have you prepared your aunt's birthday gift? Do you need me to buy it for you? ]
He Lin was busy with something and replied after two hours: [I have already guessed what birthday gift you will prepare for your aunt on behalf of He Jing. If I ask you to help me prepare it again, won’t you have to rack your brains to come up with a new one? ]
[@贺琳: Don't worry, I've been preparing for my aunt's birthday present since I came here. I've prepared the most unique birthday gift, just wait and see tomorrow! ]
A unique birthday gift?
Jiang Lili's curiosity was aroused by He Lin. What kind of gift did He Lin prepare that he didn't even need her help to purchase. How could he conquer the hearts of the ancients with his bare hands?

The Peng family of Lianzhou.
The Peng family is one of the prominent families that joined forces with the Yun family to deal with the He family, but they are not as high-profile as the Yun family and hide behind the scenes.
The Peng family’s housekeeper told the head of the Peng family the news that the Yun family was sanctioned: “Head, the Yun family has fallen, what should we do?”
The head of the Peng family was not panicked at all: "The Yun family's financial resources have been cut off, but ours have not. Half a month ago, I received news that there was a shortage of Sophora flavescens in the capital, and the price was driven up very high."
"I have had two thousand kilograms of Sophora flavescens shipped to the capital. I hired Mr. Li's escort agency to ship it quickly. It cost two thousand taels of silver."
The housekeeper was surprised: "Two thousand taels? So expensive? Master Li's escort agency is really profitable!"
"It's expensive, but there's a reason for it."
The head of the Peng family sighed, "Master Li's Yuelai Escort Agency is the most reliable escort agency in Lingnan and even the entire South. It escorts goods from Lingnan through Qingshan Mountain quickly and steadily. I heard that even the Miao people have to give way to their escort agency."
The head of the Peng family calculated the time: "My two thousand kilograms of Sophora flavescens should have arrived in the capital by now. There will be no problem in selling it. I can sell it at three times the price!"
The housekeeper's eyes widened when he heard this. This enormous wealth finally belonged to their Peng family!

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the He family's patriarch's birthday banquet.
Lianzhou City became bustling since early morning.
The people were going to receive the hospitality of the head of the He family today, so they spontaneously organized a birthday celebration for him. There were sounds of gongs and drums everywhere, and it was very lively.
The He family's buffet banquet had been prepared since early in the morning, and it was set up all the way from the He family mansion to the north of the city. It was extremely spectacular!
Jiang Lili went there with the yamen runners and the exile team, but not long after arriving at the scene, she was invited into the He family's house by the servants of the He family as expected.
Before coming, Xin Che said that he would protect her secretly, and there were two of her accomplices in the He residence. Now Jiang Lili walked into the He residence openly.
The He family servant who led the way looked at Jiang Lili secretly. This girl only had a simple bun and wore a goose yellow skirt. But no matter how plain her dress was, she had a stunning face. She was not at all nervous when she walked into the He family compound. No wonder she was specially invited by the head of the family.
The He family servant took her to a banquet table very close to the main table and sat her down. He said respectfully, "Miss Jiang, please take a seat."
After Jiang Lili took her seat, she found that there were some unfamiliar women around her. Through chatting, she learned that these women were from the He family's branches.
The female family members were also curious about Jiang Lili's identity. Jiang Lili only said that she was a commoner girl and did not reveal anything else.
Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of Jiang Lili, the women gave up and continued chatting among themselves.
But she didn't know if she was seeing things, she seemed to see Xin Che sitting in the VIP seat of He's house.
The man sitting in the VIP seat was dressed in a jet-black brocade robe, and his every move revealed his dignity and coldness. Jiang Lili didn't dare to recognize him for a moment.
The ladies at the same table obviously noticed the unfamiliar face that suddenly appeared in the VIP seat and started discussing it.
"Whose young man is that? He's so handsome."
"He's even more handsome than He Lin. How come I've never heard of such a person in Lianzhou before?"
"Could it be that he came from another place to seek refuge with the master of the family, hoping to gain the master's attention with his looks and become his concubine?"
"A concubine? I think that young man's appearance can compete for the position of legal husband."
When Jiang Lili heard the women's discussions about Xin Che, she tried to hold back her laughter so hard that her cheeks hurt.
However, as soon as she looked up and met Xin Che's deep eyes, she no longer dared to smile.
Soon it was time for He Jing's generation to present birthday gifts to the head of the He family.
He Manyu stood up at this time and said to He Shao: "Aunt, this is the ritual and music performance that your niece prepared for you."
Jiang Lili was curious about why there was a music performance as a gift, but she saw it the moment the performance started!
A group of handsome young men played music together. Each of them had his own unique looks and their handsome styles were all different.
