Chapter 87 Birthday
Yan Hanyu sat upright, and saw a row of neat and graceful handwriting jumping into her eyes with her hooks and strokes. She raised her hand and wrote without rushing or slowing down, but she didn't feel that she was writing very slowly. In just a cup of tea, a piece of paper was neatly written all over the words.
"Do you need to compare?" Yan Hanyu put down the pen in her hand, and could not see any soreness in her hands. She raised her eyebrows and said.
Lin Ping'er stretched out her head and saw that the words she wrote were not difficult, so she wanted to show that she knew the words she knew, and said, "July, Fire, September..." and stopped. She didn't recognize the words behind, and the words behind clearly looked very simple.
"The fire flows in July, and the clothes are given in September. One day, the day is shining, and the day is liberated..." Lin Xianzhi followed and said, "This is the Fengfeng of the Book of Songs."
"That's right." Yan Hanyu nodded and asked Lin Husheng, "Uncle, have you admitted defeat?"
Lin Husheng sat on the chair next to him, knocking his handrail with his five fingers, "I lost, say, what do you want me to promise you?"
"Let me think about it, let me talk after I think about it?" Yan Hanyu didn't want to say it immediately.
"Not good, no waiting."
"Is it that my uncle is not trustworthy?"
A word of non-confidence made Lin Husheng speechless, angry, and gritted his teeth, "Little girl, how could I not keep my promise! Let me tell you when you think of it!"
"I don't know if you uncle, do you have something to do? If nothing happens, I will read the book, so it's inconvenient to send it to you."
Lin Husheng stood up and came to her. Just as he was about to raise his hand, Yan Hanyu took a step back and rolled his eyes at him, "It's easy to leave, I won't send you off."
"Big cousin walk slowly!"
When Lin Ping'er saw that they were all gone, she felt that her place was boring and didn't want to stay anymore, so she followed them and left.
Lin Nian'er was full of surprise when Yan Hanyu held the pen and practiced the words correctly. She suppressed the surprise in her heart and said, "Cousin Hanyu, then I won't bother you anymore. Let's leave first."
Yan Hanyu stood in the attic, watching them leave, looking down at the wet rice paper on the windowsill, and plotting to her heart.
At night, Mr. Lin came back from the boat yard.
Mrs. Lin said, "Erying's child sent a letter saying that her mother-in-law was sick and she wanted to come close to her and she couldn't come back. The children were too young and could not come back."
"If you don't come back, don't come back. Erying has been thinking about it long ago when he arrived in Bianjing, so he naturally won't be willing to come back."
Mrs. Lin also sighed, "I shouldn't have promised to find a marriage that far away for her at the beginning. Now it's hard to meet her."
Lin Suying's marriage was still something she wanted. Because Lin Suxin got a good marriage and married into the Yan Mansion of a high-ranking official, she naturally felt very unwilling to marry into the capital of Bianliang.
Mrs. Lin disagreed at that time. A eldest daughter had already married so far, so why would she be willing to let the other person marry far away? But Lin Suying secretly begged Lin Suxin to go to Bianjing with her. Lin Suxin agreed and took Lin Suying with her when she was taking a boat to Bianjing. In this way, Lin Suying followed Lin Suxin to Yan's mansion. On Lin Suxin's wedding day, when the Yan family was having a lively wedding banquet, Lin Suying met the third son of the Guo family. Later, the Guo family proposed marriage and had this marriage.
"Master, tomorrow is your birthday, and you will have a banquet. There are many guests, so you can rest early today."
"Well, I've been bothering you and the second family's wife these days. Thank you for your hard work."
"I'm unloading my burden now. The hard work is the second wife. She is busy with banquets inside and outside. I only care for a few children in the yard..." Mrs. Lin said this, paused for a moment, and said angrily, "The hateful thing is the second. This incompetent thing! The day before yesterday, under the blue sky and the sun, she hugged the woman in the street. It was not a good thing. It was thanks to the second wife's wife being lenient and said nothing."
"I will talk to my second child another day."
"Okay, the master said it works better than me. That child is always slick in front of me, and he has no chance to say anything."
Mr. Lin smiled, "I can't stand it anymore, right?"
On Mr. Lin's birthday, he heard the sound of firecrackers early in the morning. Yan Hanyu got up on time. Madam Zhou picked her a red dress. The bright colors made her feel very energetic.
Yan Hanyu smiled at the bronze mirror, satisfied with this outfit, and the festive atmosphere should be so energetic.
Mr. Lin is a fifth-rank official and is the dominant leader in Suzhou. Many people are rushing to come to the door to curry favor with him.
On this day, the Lin Mansion was crowded with people, including the Chief Minister Cui Li, the Confucian scholar Mr. Fan Daozhi, the clan relatives, and local aristocratic races and in-laws.
After washing up early in the morning, Yan Hanyu went to kowtow to her grandfather to celebrate her birthday, and said three auspicious words in succession and gave her a thousand-year-old ginseng.
This is something Mr. Yan asked to bring, and gave it to Mr. Lin as a gift.
Mr. Lin accepted it with a smile and said three good things in a row.
After having breakfast, the Lin family heard that the guests were coming. Yan Hanyu kept following Mrs. Lin. After hearing that his grandmother introduced the relatives who came to the door, Mrs. Lin happily introduced the people around her to the guests. Many aunts and sisters from the Lin clan came. Yan Hanyu was dazzled and heard that this was from the uncle's house and that one from the aunt's house. Yan Hanyu remembered many people, and even received a lot of gifts.
Mrs. Lin was heavy and didn't spend long with the guests. In the morning, she took Hanyu to the backyard for a while and rested. A group of girls and children who came to pay their birthday came to kowtow to Mrs. Lin, which was not lively.
In the last life, Hanyu was sick all the time, and she couldn't even attend the birthday of her grandfather, so naturally she didn't know many people. In this life, she finally saw the world and met the little girls from various Suzhou families. She was well-behaved, cute, naughty and innocent, spoke softly, and was careless in her body. In short, there were all kinds of girls.
On the other side, Lin Nian'er asked her to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers, and Mrs. Lin asked her to play with children of the same age.
Yan Hanyu actually refused in her heart. After all, she is not young and will be separated from her group of little girls.
Hanyu followed him, and as expected, the group of girls of the same age discussed playing games and chattered and kept talking.
Hanyu had to watch at the end. Several girls stood around and watched them shoot the flower balls and threw the flower balls into the basket. Those who lost had to take a break before they could continue to shoot. In the end, the shots were more lottery.
Lin Nian'er didn't play, and stood with Hanyu.
