Chapter 18: The Birthday Banquet
Lin Wanjin usually doesn't have many opportunities to see Old Lady Lin, and even if he does, he usually doesn't talk much, and the children in the family, even the uncles, seem to be a little afraid of him.
Although he seems to be very strict, his eyes are always sharp, and at a glance, it seems as if all the secrets on his body cannot be hidden in front of him.
Anyway, he also gave her a treasure like that, and since Lin Wanjin moved to Tingzhuyuan, Lin Boyou gave her the dagger. Lin Wanjin now puts it at the head of the bed every day, she has tried, although the appearance looks gorgeous and unreal, but the dagger is very sharp.
Although Old Lady Lin seems to be very difficult to mess with, and he is indeed not easy to mess with, but in fact, from Lin Wanjin's current observation, he has never had a seizure in front of everyone. didn't see him reprimanding her children and grandchildren, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled, why everyone was so afraid of him, even Lin Boyou told Lin Wanjin several times to cherish that dagger, and not to go to the old lady if there was nothing to do.
Obviously, he also attached great importance to it, but he didn't know why, he still gave the dagger to Lin Wanjin.
It just so happened that Xiao Su also said that he wanted to change the original birthday gift, and Lin Wanjin also thought of what to do for Mrs. Lin.
Half a month later, Old Lady Lin's birthday finally arrived, and the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion seemed to be lively in an instant.
Early in the morning, Lin Wanjin was fished up by Baizhu Baipaeonia and dressed up carefully, this was Lin Wanjin's first appearance after coming to the capital, and Xiao Su was also nervous.
Besides, this is also the first public appearance of their family in the capital after many years, and a matter in the house was originally under the control of the Li family. However, because of the birthday banquet, the Li family also assigned some tasks to several of their younger siblings, and Xiao Su was responsible for dishes, chopsticks, utensils and other things, which was quite easy.
"Jin'er, today, my mother may not be able to follow you all the time, I let Haitang follow you, you must remember that you must not leave her." Xiao Su helped Lin Wanjin tidy up her clothes, and said that with Begonias here, she was also relieved.
Although this is a banquet at her own house, there is nothing to worry about, but she is still not very relieved in her heart, Lin Wanjin is only a seven-year-old child after all. "Hmm."
"Also, there may be many sisters coming to the house today, you just need to follow your eldest sister Wanyu, and be careful not to lose etiquette."
"Well, Jin'er understands." Lin Wanjin could only nod obediently, because of the birthday banquet, Lin Mansion was nervous up and down, and busyness was naturally indispensable. Xiao Su's time was also very busy, and because of the old lady's birthday, their classes were also suspended, and this time can be said to be the most relaxing time for Lin Wanjin.
At this time, yesterday she had secretly given her gift to the old lady, which was a pair of special gloves that she had made by herself. When Xiao Su reminded her that the gifts were not enough, she later noticed the old lady's hand, probably because of his frequent martial arts practice, his hand was easy to crack in winter.
Gloves are not difficult to make, but there are some places that require a lot of effort, so Lin Wanjin asked Mama Feng or Haitang to make them, so it took a lot of time to make a pair of gloves.
Of course, when the results were presented, they also gained a lot, although Lin Wanjin didn't want to do anything at first, but when the old lady allowed herself to enter his study to borrow books to read at will in the future, Lin Wanjin had to admit the joy in her heart.
Although I don't know if the old lady really allowed her to enter his study because of those gloves, the result is that Lin Wanjin is willing to see it. Although this will inevitably attract the jealousy of other people in the house, these are inevitable.
Sure enough, in the following days, several people led by Lin Wanqiong were a little weird towards her, even the others, although they would not say anything strange to Xiao Su or her openly, but secretly probed and looked at her more.
Since then, she has never had anything out of the ordinary, and the old lady seems to have forgotten her, and she usually doesn't praise her more when she sees it, or pay more attention to it. Everyone's attention was quickly diverted, and there was no one in the mansion who did not pay attention to the upcoming birthday of the old lady.
One is that the Lin Mansion has not had such a big feast for a while, and the other is the old lady's birthday, plus the fifth master of the Lin Mansion is back, and the matter of him going out to the capital back then was indeed quite big, but so many years have passed, and now he is back.
This is the best opportunity to make an appearance, and Mrs. Lin specially instructed that this birthday banquet should be carefully organized, and no one in the house would dare to take it lightly.
"Alright, let's go, go and say goodbye." Xiao Su stood up, looked at Lin Wanjin left and right, and showed a smile of satisfaction and pride.
Lin Wanjin followed Xiao Su's side and walked towards Deshou Temple, and the maids and wives she met along the way were all full of joy, and everyone was wearing some new clothes, even the people who watched felt comfortable.
When they arrived at Deoksugin Temple, they were still not the first, the Wang family was already there, and after everyone asked for a meeting, someone came to report that a guest had come.
Coming so early, I am afraid that it is some familiar people, Mrs. Lin took everyone out to greet them.
Lin Wanjin had already followed Lin Wanyu, Lin Wanqi and others, and her task today was to follow Lin Wanyu closely, and be careful not to neglect those little guests. And Lin Wanqi is the same, her mother Qin's advice to her is similar to what Xiao Su said, and she told Lin Wanjin all those words.
It's also wonderful, obviously Lin Wanqi is several years older than Lin Wanjin, but she likes to stick to her and play, which even Lin Wanjin feels helpless. She is not a person who likes to make trouble, but Lin Wanqi can't stop for a moment, basically she often goes to Tingzhuyuan to pull Lin Wanjin out as her own responsibility, but unfortunately there are not many successes.
Soon more guests arrived, these people Lin Wanjin didn't know, but she didn't need to know her, just follow the people and say hello.
"Old lady, the Dingguo Mansion is here to congratulate." Lin Wanjin and others were talking with some guests of the same age, and a maid came in to report.
Dingguo Mansion? Lin Wanjin was stunned, the Lin family and the Dingguo Mansion were already involved at this time? She looked at Mrs. Lin, but saw that a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, she didn't know that the Dingguo Mansion would come!
Not to mention the surprise of the Lin family, the other visitors were also surprised, they didn't expect the Dingguo Mansion to come to the Lin Mansion to celebrate their birthday.
