Chapter 178: Birthday Ceremony
As soon as Yan's second wife Lu finished speaking, she heard the sound of a carriage stopping at the door.
Yan Hanyu entered the courtyard and saw her grandfather standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
"Grandfather. ”
"Daddy. ”
Master Yan's gaze swept over Yan Hanyu, "What's going on on your body?"
"I fell down the mountain. She replied with her head bowed.
"But it hurts?"
"Abrasions, it's fine. ”
"Well, go back and change your clothes, rub some medicine on the wound, and have a feast in an hour. ”
Master Yan didn't say anything else, and after saying that, he turned around and entered the courtyard.
As soon as Yan Hanyu arrived at the courtyard, Yan Jingxiang also arrived.
"Sister Hanyu, you're finally back. Yan Jingxiang ran all the way, "Sister Hanyu, what's wrong with you? Did you wrestle? Is the injury serious, does it hurt?"
"It's okay, skin trauma. Yan Hanyu didn't explain much, only said, "I'll go change my clothes, and you wait for me in the outer hall." ”
Lin Suxin wanted to follow her in, and also said that she could help her rub the medicine.
"Mother, Mama Hong is here, just let Mama Hong come, mother, you can go, and you can prepare to go to the front hall for a banquet." ”
"Jade ......"
"Mother has something to say, I'll talk about it later. Yan Hanyu kept her eyes down, unwilling to speak more.
Lin Suxin could see her daughter's exhaustion and sadness, so she answered and went back to the room first.
Yan Hanyu entered the room here and changed the clothes on her body, her limbs were blue here and purple there, and she was bruised in many places.
Mama Hong rubbed the medicine on her for a while, and Yan Hanyu listened to Shizuka shouting outside, and she didn't know what Shizuka was doing in the hall, as if she was shouting at whom.
Yan Hanyu felt some pain in her stomach and knees, but everything else was fine, but fortunately she stopped Mama Hong's hand and walked out of the room.
As soon as she left the room, Yan Hanyu saw Shizuka under the table, and only saw a skirt and a pair of feet at this time, and her whole body was invisible.
"Shizuka, what are you doing here?"
As soon as Yan Hanyu asked this sentence, the next moment he saw a ball of white velvet rolling over like a ball of meat, and then stepped on her feet, two small fleshy claws stretched out, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and was trying to climb up. She looked at it, and there was a little milk cat standing at her feet, with moist blue eyes and a snow-white fluff, so cute that people could forget all their troubles.
"Where's the kitten, it's so cute!" Yan Hanyu bent down and held it in his arms.
"The eldest lady sent it in. Mama Hong replied.
Yan Hanyu's reaction was half a beat slower, "This is the one I came back in the afternoon to send someone into my yard?"
"Exactly. ”
It turned out that he had sent a cat, and he didn't bother to look at it on the road just now, and it was covered with a black cloth, and he didn't know that it contained a living thing. I didn't even hear it call all the way. ”
"Sister Hanyu, who gave this cat? Who gave it to my sister? I just saw this little guy, I liked it tightly, and I wanted to hug it, but it kept running away and wouldn't give it to me. ”
Yan Jingxiang crawled out from under the table and looked at the little milk cat with a longing expression.
The little white cat saw her coming, but she climbed onto Yan Hanyu's shoulder, her long tail raised, her round eyes stared, and she looked like she wanted to fight with her.
"Look, look! It glared at me!"
Yan Hanyu grabbed it and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's the first time I'll come here." ”
"It's not like a breed from the Central Plains, it has blue eyes, and it has so long hair! Yan Jingxiang exclaimed.
The little milk cat drilled into Yan Hanyu's arms hard, only to get into her collar.
"This is a cat breed in the Western Regions, it is a very docile cat, it doesn't tickle people, it doesn't usually bark, it's very quiet. Mama Hong said. This kind of cat Mama Hong has seen one in the palace, which was raised by nobles in the palace, and she knows that this cat is different from ordinary cat breeds.
"It's not docile at all. Yan Jingxiang stretched out her hand to touch the little milk cat, and the little milk cat jumped directly from Yan Hanyu's hand and jumped on the ground, Yan Hanyu was startled, but saw it roll around on the ground, flicked its long tail, and was about to leave.
Yan Hanyu bent over and hurriedly hugged it in her arms again, "You can't let it run, Mama Hong, just guard it." ”
"Forget it, I still won't touch it, I'll hug it when it's familiar here, okay?
"Naturally good. Yan Hanyu gave the little milk cat to Mama Hong, "Mama, put it in place, don't let it run away." ”
Waiting for Mama Hong to go down, Yan Jingxiang handed Yan Hanyu a square long box.
"Did you send me?" Yan Hanyu said with a smile.
My sister opened it and took a look. ”
The box is carved from rosewood, the cover edge is inlaid with gold edges, the top and bottom buckle copper locks, three sides are carved with vivid paintings, the top is a butterfly play flower, the front and back are carved with flowers and birds, the left and right sides are smaller, carved with big characters, one side is An, the other side is Kang.
But looking at this box, you can see the owner's intention to give gifts.
Yan Hanyu didn't think it was like something Shizuka would give her.
She opened the lock, but saw that there was an emerald green hairpin inside, and she was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Shizuka.
"You didn't send it, did you?"
"Sister Hanyu is so smart, this is a gift from my eldest cousin, do you like it? When I came back, my eldest cousin was already waiting at the house, he came to give gifts, and he didn't think about staying for dinner, and he couldn't wait for you to come back, so I asked me to transfer the things to you." ”
Yan Hanyu closed the wooden box, buckled the lock, and returned it to her, "Return it to your eldest cousin, I can't accept this gift." ”
"Why?" Yan Jingxiang was very confused, someone else gave Sister Hanyu a gift and her sister accepted it, why didn't her eldest cousin give a gift, but her sister didn't accept it?
"Just give it back to him. ”
"Sister Hanyu, you also lived in my grandfather's house, you also know my eldest cousin, today is your birthday, come to give you a gift, why are you alienated from my eldest cousin?"
The hairpin is not something that can be given at will! The hairpin means that it is a promise to the position of a wife, if she accepts it, is it not a private life? Yan Hanyu held this in his heart.
"Has anyone seen this?"
"My eldest cousin said it was best not to be seen, so I was the only one who saw it. ”
Yan Hanyu is glad that Shizuka still doesn't understand the meaning of sending hairpins. If it was at her age in the previous life, I am afraid that she would have accepted it in a daze.
"Then you listen to your eldest cousin, don't let people see it, and return the things to him as soon as possible. ”
"Sister Hanyu, I don't understand. Yan Jingxiang held the box with a confused expression.
"This kind of birthday gift is too expensive, I really can't accept it. Just tell your eldest cousin like this, and he won't blame you. ”
Yan Jingxiang still looked at her with a pair of round eyes.
Yan Hanyu stretched out her hand and nodded her nose, "My sister Shizuka, what is your birthday gift for me?"
Yan Jingxiang laughed twice, scratching her head a little embarrassed, "Wait until the night and give it to my sister." (To be continued.) )
