Chapter 121: Birthday (1)
Could it be that Lan Keman could find Ling Xingyue in a dignified manner, raise his face and open his mouth to ask him personally:
"Little Lord Ling, why don't you come to the Lan family to see me at night now?"
Didn't she really become a shameless woman, so, Lan Keman endured it bitterly, she didn't know what Ling Xingyue thought, was it because he was lying on his side in Brother Situ's arms that day, he was so angry that he didn't care about himself, but he also had to listen to his own explanation.
Even the words of explanation, Lan Keman thought about it several times in his heart, but it was:
"That day, Brother Situ said that his heart was hurt, I was too worried to listen to Brother Situ's heart if there was a problem, not as you imagined, as for Brother Situ's confession, I still didn't push him away, because I looked at Brother Situ's tears, it was too sad, how could I be so decisive, besides, in the end I still pushed him away, I didn't let him kiss me, but you didn't see it."
But these words went around and around Lan Keman's throat for a lot of times, and finally he didn't dare to say it, and he couldn't say it, and gradually, even Lan Keman became angry, so these days, it seems that Situ and Lan Keman have become more intimate, while Ling Xingyue seems to be a little more alienated.
The spring sun shines into the house through the bright cloud screen as thin as cicada wings, which is as light as ice, as if condensing countless golden lights, and the blue tent is extraordinarily wide and bright because of this light, and it is warm and soft.
The sunlight slowly shone on the several newly opened pale red early spring peach flowers inserted in the shrugging beauty of the official kiln on the desk, and the bright color made people fall in love.
In the past few days, seeing Ling Xingyue talking to Lan Keman less and less, the throbbing in Situ's heart has become more and more intense, so gradually, Lan Keman's house began to have more and more traces of Situ's figure and existence.
Lan Keman got up in the morning, used a few pastries that Xiaoyu had already placed on the table, picked up the book and read, and was lazy, like a leaf on the tree, when the wind came, he swayed a few times, and when the wind didn't come, he sat dumbly and speechlessly.
The second day is Lan Keman's sixteenth birthday, in this era, sixteen years old is an adult, it is time for a coming-of-age ceremony, and it is time to get married, which is a very important birthday.
Therefore, Chu Lian began to prepare for the birthday of the only daughter of the Lan family very early, and since the news of Lan Keman's sixteenth birthday was spreading, the threshold of the Lan family's compound seemed to be broken, up to Ling Xiaowang's mansion, down to the surrounding ordinary people's homes, and then to all the servants, mothers-in-law, little maids, and mothers in the Lan family's compound, and the stewards in the Sijin Yaosi Mansion, procurement, eldest lady, and side ladies, all of whom came to congratulate and sent congratulatory gifts in person, especially Situ, who couldn't afford to luxurious the courtyard of the young master of the Si family, the precious items were pulled down by cart after cart in Lan Keman's house tent.
But this Ling Xingyue only sent a kite to Lan Keman, and the kite was very surprised at a glance, it turned out to be a butterfly stepping on a snow lotus, and the snow lotus and the butterfly were very lifelike and exquisite.
Lan Keman was overjoyed when he saw it, but he was not interested in the many treasures sent in the name of Steward Liu.
On the day of their birthdays, Chu Lian and Lan Jing placed the birthday gifts sent by each government in the middle of the Lan family compound in red paper in accordance with the practice on the grassland, in order to show their attention to production and their gratitude to the government:
A shop of gold dust group Wenyin, a plate of five-color concentric knots and jade, ten pieces of mandarin duck gold brocade, and a pair of pearls in front of the pillow - these are all congratulatory gifts from Sifu Procurement Office;
A shop with fragrant green civets, two fish heads held by dragon incense, four fingers of pure gold buckles, and three handwritings of Xiangwen Luo - these are all birthday gifts personally sent by Steward Liu of Lingwangfu;
Other more valuable ones are also written in red paper and gold letters, only full of Tengteng, except for a passage pedestrian left in the courtyard of the Lan family, all of them are congratulatory gifts, even the various small gifts sent by the subordinates, Chu Lian also carefully ordered to write the name of the gift and the congratulatory words, but did not leave the name of the giver, the expression means that no matter how big or small the gift is, the Lan family is grateful, thankful, and kept in mind.
And Lan Keman coincided with the sixteenth birthday, so even some acquaintances in Mengba County had a good relationship, and some people who wanted to come to meet the Lan family, on this day, they only came to one courtyard.
In addition, the noblewomen and officials, the maids-in-law, and the little grooms, were bustling and lively, but Lan Keman had been pale and not very interested, until he received the kite, his complexion eased a little, and he was willing to let Xiaoyu dress up for himself.
It wasn't until the sun was forcibly pulled into the air by the Pleiades star official that Lan Keman finished freshening up, and sent Xiaoyu over to her mother to ask when she needed to show her face to meet the elders.
As soon as Xiaoyu lifted the curtain and left, Lan Keman heard a few gentle taps outside the window lattice screen, Lan Keman's heart was beating like a drum in an instant, and she subconsciously thought that maybe Ling Xingyue had quietly come to see her again for a long time.
She turned her head slowly, lest Ling Xingyue find out that she was looking forward to him, pushed open the window screen and saw that Ling Xingyue was wearing a three-layer jade-colored shirt with embroidered bamboo leaves and a pendant, sharp and handsome, with red eyes, as if she was wearing the sun, but her eyes were full of fireflies and charming.
Lan Keman deliberately had an indifferent color on his face, and said with disgust in his mouth:
"But it turned out to be Ling Xiaowangye, dare to be so rude, why are you standing outside my window so rudely?"
Ling Xingyue didn't think so, leaned in halfway, reached out and grabbed Lan Keman's slender fingers, Lan Keman wanted to break free, but Ling Xingyue held it vigorously, insisting on not letting go, and then staring at Lan Keman with deep eyes, and pleading slightly in a pleading tone:
"Man'er, you'll be looking up at the open space to the south when you're eating lunch in a moment, you know? I'm going to personally send you a 16th birthday gift, earnestly. ”
After speaking, he gently stroked the back of Lan Keman's hand a few times, and suddenly at the moment before Xiaoyu was about to come in, he put Lan Keman's thin and thin finger in front and kissed it slightly, and he left.
Lan Keman was startled, and hurriedly looked back at the door curtain, worriedly thinking that Xiao Yu was already in the house, because he heard the footsteps, Xiao Yu was at the door.
