The birthday banquet officially began at eight in the evening.
Old Madame Xie wore a Tang Dynasty style dress and sat down grandly at the head of the table, accepting well-wishes from the younger guests and relatives. Even Ye Tianxin was brought by Li Qingcang to Old Madame Xie to wish her a happy birthday.
Li Qingcang presented a gift box and said, "Old Madame, this was embroidered by our Tianxin. Give it a try and see whether it fits."
Old Madame Xie accepted the wooden box and lifted the lid. She looked at the hand-embroidered cloth shoes in the box with a wide smile.
The embroidery was well done, and it looked as if it were real.
Old Madame Xie fell in love with the shoes when she laid her eyes on them.
"This is incredible!" she exclaimed. "Little Tianxin is so young but can embroider so well."
