Mo Xuelian is responsible for embroidering flowers and birds, Lin Hongwan is responsible for embroidering longevity characters and embellishments, Mo Xuelian first drew a large frame of flowers and birds and plants on the silk and then looked at it herself and was quite satisfied.

Then, she asked Lin Hongwan to take a look at it, and Lin Hongwan also thought it was good, so the pattern was set, and it was a few birds flying around the pink flowers.

Mo Xuelian embroidered the green leaves according to the large frame she painted, Lin Hongwan's longevity character is very simple, you don't need to draw a frame in advance, you can embroider it directly, the two of them embroidered for about two hours, Lin Hongwan saw that the sky was getting late.

"Snow Lotus, it's not too early, let's get here first today. Mo Xuelian nodded in agreement after hearing this, and then the two packed up the embroidery tools in front of them and left here to return to their residence.

In this way, after the two of them finished studying with the female gentleman every day, they went to the side hall to embroider the double-sided fan, and it took about a month to embroider the double-sided fan.

Then, the two went to the warehouse to choose a very beautiful fan frame, and Lin Hongwan asked the handyman to frame it, and this double-sided fan was really completed.

At this time, look at this double-sided fan, it is really exquisite, one side is a golden longevity character, and there are some plant branches and leaves around the longevity character.

On the other side is Mo Xuelian's embroidered flowers and birds, the realism is like a bird really flying around the flower, it looks beautiful, Lin Hongwan has prepared a gift box made of fine golden silk nanmu.

She carefully put the embroidered double-sided fan inside, and the birthday gift was ready to be completed, and the two looked at the birthday gift very satisfied, and this birthday gift was also completed just two weeks before the birthday of the ancestor of the Lin family.

At the same time, in Hongqing City, just two weeks before the birthday of the ancestor of the Lin family, the number of merchants coming and going in Hongqing City was several times more than two weeks ago.

The reason is that the birthday of the ancestor of the Lin family, the head of the five great families, is coming, and many wealthy and official eunuchs from other places have come to Hongqing City two weeks in advance.

Most of them are powerful people who have business dealings with the Lin family, so the inn in Hongqingcheng has been living in seven or eight for a while, and there are not many guest rooms, and the people of Hongqing City have also talked about the birthday of the ancestor of the Lin family after dinner, and the Lin family has become the focus of attention in the city at this time.

In the Qiu Mansion of the Qiu family, Qiu Yu called the personal servant Xiangzi to his side, "You asked me to shoot the two servants who guarded the Lin Mansion to come back for the time being, don't guard the Lin Mansion, the Lin Mansion is now the focus of the city, and it is also inconvenient for everyone to keep an eye on the crowd and guard it, wait until the birthday of the ancestor of the Lin family is over and then go to guard the Lin Mansion." ”

Shoko bowed her head slightly after hearing this, and then left the room, asking people to call back the two servants who were guarding the Lin Mansion.

At this time, Master Qiu and Mrs. Qiu also came to Qiu Yu's door, and the two entered the room, and Master Qiu sat on a chair and looked at Qiu Yu.

"In a few days, it will be the birthday of the ancestor of the Lin family, I have discussed with your uncles of other major families, this time I want to take a few of you juniors to Lin Mansion to celebrate his birthday, the purpose is also to let you juniors know each other and have more contact, after all, you are all about to reach the age of talking about marriage. ”

Qiu Yu frowned slightly after hearing this, and thought, "It's not a bad thing if you go to the Lin Mansion, what if you can see that Miss Mo?"

"Okay, father and mother, I'll go to the Lin Mansion with you to celebrate your birthday, but my son is still young, and it's still too early to talk about marriage. Qiu Yu hurriedly explained.

"The main purpose is to let you have more contact with each other, as for the others who are not in a hurry, this time I also want you to meet the young lady who knows the Lin family. Mrs. Qiu looked at him with a smile.

"The son knows his father and his mother. Qiu Yu said thoughtfully, and after speaking, Master Qiu and Mrs. Qiu smiled and nodded and left here together.

After Master Qiu and Mrs. Qiu left, Qiu Yu had a playful smile on his face, "My own business, I have the final say, as for the future...... Hmph, maybe not. ”

At the same time, in the Sun Mansion and the Chen Mansion, Sun Yueling and Chen Hongsheng also knew that their parents would also take them with them to congratulate their birthdays in the Lin Mansion this time, and the two were full of happiness and excitement, the two had not met since the last trip to the lake, but the two often exchanged letters, and their relationship was much better than before.

And in the Han Mansion, Han Bo was a little different from them after knowing about it, although he was also happy to go to celebrate his birthday together, but he didn't want to talk about his marriage too early, he was a casual person, he liked to talk and laugh with girls more, and he didn't want to explain himself early.

On this day, four days before the birthday of the ancestor of the Lin family, the Lin Mansion had already begun to put up lanterns, and the red lanterns of the word Shou were also hung high, and the beams of the houses were surrounded by red cloths everywhere in the Lin Mansion.

Even the two huge stone lions in front of the gate of the Lin Mansion were hung with red cloths around their necks, and a jubilant atmosphere was no longer distinguishable from the joyful scene of the New Year.

Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan will not study with Mr. Girl in the past few days, because the ancestor of the Lin family is going to celebrate his birthday, Master Lin and Mrs. Lin have already let Mr. Woman rest for a period of time, and continue to teach Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian after his birthday.

So, the two of them felt a little bored, and then, Lin Hongwan looked at Mo Xuelian, "Xuelian, everyone is busy with my grandmother's birthday these days, I'm a little bored, let's go shopping on the street." Mo Xuelian also felt the same way, she nodded, so after the two finished speaking, they left the Lin Mansion together.

After Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan left the Lin Mansion, they were walking on the street of Hongqingcheng, when the two of them walked to a relatively secluded place, there were a lot of onlookers near a house, it stands to reason that there should not be so many people in this place, Lin Hongwan was curious for a while, so she took Mo Xuelian's hand, trotted through the crowd, and the two squeezed in.

As soon as they squeezed in, they saw that the whole family in front of them had been killed, including a small child, and the bodies of the whole family were lying near the door, and the two were so frightened that they quickly blindfolded and did not dare to look.

At this time, I heard someone in the crowd of onlookers talking, this family must have offended someone who should not be offended, otherwise the whole family would have been killed.

Then, another member of the crowd chimed in, "Yes, I heard that an assassin broke in last night and killed the family." ”

"I guess someone bought the murderer, otherwise how could the whole family be wiped out. Another one in the crowd talking.

"I heard that some people are specifically relying on this to make money, as long as someone is willing to pay, they will help the employer kill all the people they want to kill, it is said that the connector is in a group of beggars in the southwest corner of Hongqing City, as long as you hand the note to the beggar, and go again the next day, as long as you agree to take over the business, you can pay the fixed money at that time, and then wait for the matter to be completed, and then pay the rest of the money. “

"I've also heard that it is said that the people killed are different, and the price is not the same, I don't know if this is true or not. ”

Then, I only heard someone in the crowd echo, "Most of them are true, it is said that the people who killed were the bandits on the mountain outside Hongqing City, and they were doing some business to kill people and sell goods." ”

"Let's go, don't look here anymore, it's scary. At this time, Mo Xuelian whispered to Lin Hongwan next to her, Lin Hongwan nodded after hearing this, and then the two withdrew from the crowd and continued to walk on the street.

When Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan were strolling around to the southwest corner of Hongqing City, Lin Hongwan subconsciously looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a group of beggars waiting there in the corner of the southwest corner.

They looked east and west, although the broken bowl was placed in front of them, waiting for the passers-by to give some reward, but they did not seem to be attentive, someone threw the reward money, they did not look at it, as if they did not care about the reward in the bowl.

Lin Hongwan's heart suddenly understood, she believed what those people in the crowd said just now, and then stopped looking at the group of beggars, and continued to walk around the street with Mo Xuelian.

When they came to a restaurant, Lin Hongwan felt that she was a little hungry and tired of shopping.

"Xuelian, I'm a little hungry, let's go eat something and rest by the way. ”

Mo Xuelian saw that the restaurant was very luxurious, and she was a little hesitant, and Lin Hongwan saw Mo Xuelian's thoughts.

"Don't worry, I'll invite you to eat," and then Lin Hongwan dragged her into the restaurant without waiting for Mo Xuelian to speak.

When Xiao Er in the restaurant saw a guest entering the door, he immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Two girls, what do you want to eat to come and sit here." So, the shopkeeper led Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan to the seats of the four-person table.

"Two girls, all the dishes in our store are written on the sign, and the two girls look at it slowly. He pointed to the sign on the wall.

Lin Hongwan followed the direction of Xiao Erzhi and saw the sign, there were many expensive dishes on it, such as roast duck, rock sugar snow bird's nest, orchid bear paw, etc.

Lin Hongwan ordered a steamed cured meat and Feilong soup, and then ordered Dong'anzi chicken, and the shopkeeper left after writing it down, so that he could wait for a while.

After half an hour, several dishes were served on the table one after another, Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian ate, and while eating, Lin Hongwan looked at Mo Xuelian, "Xuelian, did you say that what those people said about the assassins just now is true?"

"It doesn't matter if it's real or not, it has nothing to do with us anyway, so don't think about it. ”

"Yes, it really has nothing to do with us, but I think it's true, let's not talk about it, let's eat. ”

While eating, Mo Xuelian heard a voice, "I haven't eaten these immortals yet, let this immortal things taste them too." After hearing this, Mo Xuelian smiled bitterly and thought, "It's really a foodie." ”

So, when Lin Hongwan was not paying attention, she quietly threw the food on the ground, and then the snow unicorn flew out as if it were flying, eating the things on the ground with satisfaction, and did not forget to praise after eating: "The world is delicious." ”

The two ate for half an hour, Lin Hongwan felt that she was very satisfied with what she had eaten, and then asked Mo Xuelian: "Have you eaten well?" Let's leave after eating." “

Mo Xuelian nodded, "I've finished eating, let's go." Then the two of them finished the bill and left the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, the two walked around the street again, and when they saw that it was getting late, the two decided to go back to the Lin Mansion, and after returning to the Lin Mansion, for some reason, Lin Hongwan always thought of the assassin in her mind, and fell asleep after thinking about it.
