On the sixth day of May, Lingtong was ninth birthday.

It's just that Dongfu has always been restrained, Ling Tong's birthday has not been a big one, and Wu's mother said that she has been sick since she was a child and can't hold a big birthday, so I'm afraid that the little ghost will worry about it...... Just eat a bowl of longevity noodles in your own house.

Despite this, after all, the birthday of the tenth lady in the Guo Mansion cannot be lacking; Early in the morning, Mrs. Xinliu personally dressed Ling Tong in a pink peach-colored silk skirt, embroidered with creamy yellow daffodils at the corners of the skirt, moon-white brocade trim on the cuffs and neckline, neatly combed with two small braids, and a pink butterfly inlaid with two pearls in a small bun on the top of her head, revealing a playful spirit!

Ling Tong's health has gradually improved since the last serious illness, and he has grown a lot taller, no longer the yellow-skinned and skinny child, the third wife is a well-known beauty, Ling Tong has a mother's standard oval face, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and has seen the charm of the little beauty for the first time......

Then she went to kowtow to her grandparents with Wu's mother, Xiaojun, Shizuka, Yanzi and others, and she really had a fate with the ceremony, the old lady lit a pair of red candles, one burned fast, and the other burned slowly and the flame was uneven; The heart is not happy, Ling Tong went, the slow one burned more and more prosperous, the two quickly raised eyebrows, burned together until extinguished, provoked the old lady and the old lady to be happy for a while, and rewarded a lot of good things, when returning to the house, the maids and servants held the pomp all the way, and soon the three mansions were spread all over, all said that Miss Ten went, the old lady's double candle burned Qi and Wang, although there was no birthday banquet, but the grandparents loved her very much, and the things given were not under the eldest lady, and everyone was envious for a while.

All the way back to Dongfu, as soon as she entered the room, she shouted hot, Wu Ma quickly helped her take off her clothes outside, only wearing a pink close-fitting poplin shirt, immediately comfortable, not paying attention to the blink of an eye, there is a pot of orchids on the table, the porcelain pot is a lake green octagonal type is very good-looking, the branches and leaves of the orchid are very beautiful, and there are three milky white buds with light purple, close to smell, there is a very light fragrance.

"Hey, where did this orchid come from?"

"What kind of breed? It's so good-looking, why is the bud a little purple? ”

At this time, Ling Fang and Ling Zhou came into the door together, the two came to celebrate his sister's birthday, and as soon as they entered the house, they were attracted by this orchid and looked around.

Ling Zhou was careful, saw a letter next to the flower pot, and handed it to his sister.

Ling Tong looked at the handwriting and shouted happily: "It's Master!" It was sent by Master Qingyan, and sure enough, only the gift she gave was the most chic! ”

Ling Fang pinched the tip of her nose, "Little girl, aren't the ones sent by grandma and grandpa good today?" And the spotted bamboo swallowtail kun fan I gave you is not good? It's not good for Lingzhou to send you an inkstone?......"

"Brother! Who wants you to talk nonsense? Naturally, it's all good! She jumped to her feet and screamed.

Everyone in the room laughed, and only Ling Zhou was reading the letter

"Do you know what kind of orchid this is?"

"What is it?" Ling Tong ran to Ling Zhou's side, she was close to Ling Fang, but she was always a little curious about Ling Zhou, Ling Zhou walked to the desk and picked up the brush, and wrote two words on the rice paper: Jing Lan.

"Legend has it that when the orchid opens, the color is blue with purple, the shades are haloed, and there is a silver-white arc on the petals, like a beautiful woman's smile, so it is called the orchid!"

"It is also said that the orchid is precious, it is difficult to find one in ten thousand plants, it is difficult to cultivate, and it is extremely precious......"

"Lingzhou loves to paint orchids, but I don't know that I know orchids so well, it's really elegant......"

Lingzhou only looked down at the flowers, as if muttering to himself: "Who is Qingyan, can have this flower?" ……”

"Master is a master in the world, my life has been saved, and naturally I can get strange flowers!" Ling Tong said loudly.

The tenth day of the first month is the sixty-fifth birthday of the old marquis Guo, and the hanging lights of Guo's mansion are full of bustling.

After seeing off the guests, the family was busy kowtowing and saluting their birthdays. After eating the noodles, the eldest lady smiled and said, "I also ate this noodles, and the Shoulian that the children wrote for their grandfather is going to be taken out and seen?" ”

It turns out that the tradition in this Guo Mansion is that every year on the birthday of the old marquis, the grandchildren must write birthday couplets to congratulate, which is one, and it is also more beautiful than whose words are more beautiful and more literary.

Ling Tong and her sisters sat at a Nanmu desk on the right side of the hall, Ling Yi was wearing a three-quarter sleeved royal blue silk dress today, covered with light blue brocade shoulders, eyebrows and sideburns, and a beautiful neck, upright and beautiful, she saw Ling Tong smile decently, which seemed to be a little gentler than she had seen before.

Her entry into the palace has been decided, and I am afraid that it will be the last time she will write a birthday couplet for her grandfather at home.

Ling Han likes goose yellow, and today she still wears a pleated skirt with goose yellow with pink, and a light yellow short cardigan on her upper body, which is still sweet and moist, and she is amiable to watch.

There is also a sister sitting on the right, with a delicate figure, a heart-shaped pointed chin face, red lips like cherry, apricot eyes with waves, and a high nose bridge.

Old Marquis Guo was watching his grandson's longevity at this time, sometimes pointing, sometimes gesturing, and the second and third masters on the side also expressed their opinions in a timely manner.

And here, the girls' longevity couplets are unfolded one by one on the table, and at a glance, Ling Yi's words are generous, Ling Tong's words have aura, and Ling Han's words are written with great brilliance, just like the sound of the birds flying that day, in contrast, Ling Fen's words are also dexterous, which is slightly inferior.

Everyone looked down at the words, comparing and figuring, but they heard a coquettish voice, "Ah, I'm burning!" I only felt that a cup of hot tea on the right hand side spilled from the diagonal, instantly wetting Ling Han's Shoulian, and Ling Tong's was also affected, but it was not a big problem, and the teacup also rolled to the ground and fell into several petals.

"Really, this tea is too hot, and it won't be cold on such a hot day!"

"It's a slave, isn't it, but the young lady is burned?" A girl next to her said urgently.

"Alright, alright, go pour me another glass and let it cool......" she waved her hand slightly.

Turned his head and saw the table, "Oh, it's not good, Ling Han's Shoulian is wet, what can I do?" ”

Just when everyone was regretting, Ling Tong was stunned on the spot, this voice is not the first time I have heard it! That night, in the cold and windy night, the girl who took her up the rockery was such a beautiful voice......

Ling Tong stared at her in a blink of an eye, her face was pale, her mind was rumbling and she was almost unsteady, and the swallow on the side looked at her with a strange expression, and hurriedly ran over to help her sit down.

Ling Fen seemed to be engrossed in the paper, and her fingers like onions brushed the tea on the paper, but the result was even worse!

Ling Yi looked at it coldly and said; "Don't do it again, this brush is confused, and I can't see it clearly......"

Ling Han didn't seem surprised, and didn't seem to be in a hurry, just bit his lower lip.

"Forget it, take it out, I can't see it," she said, bowing her head

"It's a pity that Grandpa didn't see Ling Han's intentions," Ling Yi said

"I don't know who has pen, ink and paper, and it's too late to write another one?"

The nice voice said: "This longevity couplet is written in advance, and at this time I suddenly have to use pen and ink, even if I go to the study immediately to get it, it is estimated that it will be too late......"

"Yanzi, bring the rice paper and pen that Mother Wu asked me to bring to Sister Ling Han!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and it was Ling Tong who was sitting at the table with a pale face who spoke.

"Yes, miss," the swallow replied, and in a moment came in with pen and paper.

"In the end, Mother Wu is old, so she said that she must bring these things, and it is not in vain that Qixing has carried them all the way here under the sun, no, it really comes in handy!"

Ling Tong only looked at Ling Fen, Ling Fen didn't say anything, just sat down slowly and glanced at Ling Tong, the two looked at each other, but Ling Fen was also calm, and there was no wave in her eyes, and then smiled at Ling Tong, Ling Tong turned her head.

The girls helped to lay the paper, grinding the ink, Ling Han lifted the pen and book, when the last ink was particularly fragrant, the wrist was certain, the old marquis just walked to the table, and even said that the granddaughter Ling Han's words were the most talented, and also specially rewarded ten wolf hairs and two sides of the Hui ink, Aunt Liu on the side smiled and secretly wiped her tears, very comforting.

Ling Han looked at Ling Tong, her eyelashes flashed and she smiled gratefully.

"Who wrote this?" The old marquis asked, pointing to another painting.

"Back to grandfather, it's Ling Tong's sister!" Ling Yi smiled

"Hmmm! This one is good, too! ”

"Affectionate, fun, eclectic! I guess, it's the little granddaughter's, right? Haha......"

"Grandfather, you see, Sister Ling Tong's little hands are also very cute! It's like dough kneading......"

Out of the crowd came a smiling silver-shirted young man, his face was pale and his eyes were flexible, this person was Ling Xuan, the second young master of Uncle Guo's mansion, with a sweet mouth, and was deeply loved by the old lady.

"Cute, you are all cute, you are all my good grandchildren!" The old marquis smiled.

In the end, the lottery is a picture of Ling Shang "Mulberry elm has not seen the old, Nanshan has no borders", the word is like a precious character, Ling Fang's painting "Shou Tian Canghai, air pressure pine and cypress", quite a golden stone bone, Ling Han's "Shangyuan plum fragrance early, sunset Shenghui long", full of energy, Ling Tong's "The stars in the sky should be companions, the pine and cypress in the world do not know the year", simple and lovely.

The four of them each rewarded a big longevity peach, and they were beaming.

In the blink of an eye, the sky has been darkened, the kitchen has been passed the rice, the maids and servants are serving dishes to the table one by one, the candles in the hall are shining, the delicacies are delicious, the brocade clothes are gorgeous, the laughter is stacked, the heaven and the earth are just like that!

Suddenly, the housekeeper Guo Chengli hurriedly walked into the hall, walked to the old marquis and whispered a few words, and walked out quickly, the old marquis suddenly looked dazed, and then beckoned to the lady, and soon the two lords and the lady also stepped forward to attach their ears, and the juniors knew that something had happened when they saw this situation, and the hall was quiet in an instant......
