Chapter 141: Chi Tang's Birthday Present
October 23 is Chi Tang's birthday.
On this day in her previous life, she lost her father.
From then on, her birthday was her father's death day.
Counting from her previous life and this life, she has not had a birthday for four years.
In the early morning of this day, Chi Tang got up before dawn, dressed neatly, and arrived outside the Chi Changting house early, and did not let people report, so he knelt down directly with the frost all over the ground, and kowtowed three times.
Early in the winter morning, the guards frightened her, and rushed into the house to call the girl and her father up.
Chi Changting hurriedly put on his clothes and directly covered her body, slightly annoyed in his mouth: "What is this for?" Do you want to frostbite yourself after your birthday? ”
The body shape of the father and daughter is too different, Chi Changting's big hair is covered, and his head and face are all covered, and when Chi Tang hurriedly picks up the big gun, although he can't see it, he also feels that his neatly combed bun early in the morning is already miserable.
Chi Tang touched his head, his face darkened, and he looked at him sadly.
Chi Changting couldn't get annoyed when he saw it, so he laughed and pulled her up and walked into the house.
There was no charcoal in the house, it was a bit cold.
Chi Changting pressed her on the chair, and while instructing her to give birth to charcoal, he walked into the bedroom, and when he came out, he had a comb in his hand.
Little by little, he untied her bun, and his movements were unremarkable.
Chi Tang's nose was sour, and he said softly: "Daddy hasn't combed my hair for a long time......"
Chi Changting laughed and said, "Ah Tang is a big girl, there are too many types of hair buns for big girls, how can my father have a beautiful picture screen?" ”
This is the truth, Chi Tang nodded approvingly.
Chi Changting smiled: "You kid ......"
The comb teeth brushed from the scalp, Chi Tang closed his eyes comfortably, and asked softly: "Daddy is going to go to Wudang Mountain with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to worship the Five Dragons Temple today?" ”
The Five Dragons Temple on Wudang Mountain was erected by Taizu, and His Royal Highness the Prince, as the grandson of Taizu, must be worshipped.
"You have to go—" Chi Changting said, "you go with you, and you will stay on the mountain tonight." ”
"I'm going to climb the mountain again......" Chi Tang muttered.
The last time she climbed Da Hyeon, she climbed out of the shadows, not to mention that her whole body was sore in the past few days, and she didn't want to walk even if she walked, let alone climb the mountain.
Chi Changting said with a smile: "We, the courtiers who followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince up the mountain, are all going to go up, you don't have to go with us later, you are behind, I will have someone to carry you up on your shoulders!" ”
Chi Tang turned his worries into joy: "That's good! ”
"Don't move, don't move!" Chi Changting hurriedly fixed her head with his hands, carefully twisted a small strand of green silk, and said with a smile in his mouth, "Of course it's good, there are so many of us in our group, and you are going up the mountain in a sedan chair, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walks up the mountain by himself!" ”
When Chi Tang heard him mention His Royal Highness the Prince, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Daddy, on my birthday today, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a reward?" ”
In her previous life, her birthday was her father's death day, and everyone tacitly stopped mentioning her birthday.
Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will send someone to send something on this day and don't mention anything, but Chi Tang knows that this is his birthday gift to her.
For three years, he was the only one who was thinking about her birthday.
So this time...... He should have a representation, right? After all, there is still Daddy's face.
No matter what the reason is, Chi Tang is also happy to receive a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if it is just a reward prepared by the people below.
Chi Changting didn't answer, but sneered and said, "I know that if I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that Ah Tang doesn't care about his father's gift!" ”
"Remember! Remember! Chi Tang said busily.
It's not that she doesn't care, it's just that Chi Changting prepared a gift, she already knew, but in order to appease her father, she still pretended not to know and asked, "What did Daddy prepare for me?" ”
Chi Changting tied the rest of her hair into a swallowtail with a headband, turned around and picked up a wooden box from the table and handed it to her.
Chi Tang happily took it, opened it and looked at it, stunned.
In the box is a boxwood pillow, carved with rich and delicate begonia patterns, polished to the touch warm, carved exquisitely gorgeous.
Chi Changting looked at her face and was a little worried: "What? Dislike? ”
"It's not!" Chi Tang hurriedly said, "I like it very much! ”
Daddy sent it, how can there be any reason not to like it? It's just an accident, this is not a gift that her father prepared for her in her previous life.
In his previous life, he also prepared a wooden pillow, but not boxwood, but a special wood called softwood.
Soft wood not only has a soft texture, but also faintly warm, which is used as a pillow and has the effect of warming and nourishing qi.
Why did you change to boxwood this time?
"Do you like the carvings on it?" Chi Changting asked hintly, feeling a little uncomfortable, Ah Tang didn't seem to be surprised enough to receive the gift...... Did he not send it to the heart?
"I love it, really!" Chi Tang said seriously, but closed the wooden box and put it on the side.
Get up, take a step back, and get down on your knees.
Chi Changting subconsciously helped her, stretched out his hand halfway, and stopped again.
Her small, soft hands rested on the uppers of his shoes almost reverently, bowed down, pressed her forehead to it, kowtowed her head silently, and raised her face with sparkling eyes.
"Daddy is here, it's the best birthday gift Ah Tang has received this year!"
Today is the day he died in his previous life, and now he is standing in front of her with dignity, and he has survived the death of his previous life.
Winter is coming, and in her heart, the four seasons are like spring.
……
After eating longevity noodles, Chi Xiaoshouxing began a happy day of receiving gifts.
The first to be sent was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
As soon as Chi Tang put down his chopsticks, the attendant of the East Palace arrived carrying several boxes.
When I opened the box, I was surprised to see the jewels and dazzling.
"His Royal Highness said that I didn't bring much with me on this trip, and when I returned to Beijing, I would make up for Miss Chi." The waiter's face was full of guilt.
So much and not much? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also too polite, so polite that Chi Tang didn't know what to say.
"Which is the purple jade flute?" Chi Changting asked as he looked at the gift list.
The waiter was stunned, and looked at the box: "It should be in this box." ”
Chi Changting stepped forward, rummaged through the box twice, and found a long box, opened it, and sure enough, it was a jade flute.
He smiled, handed the jade flute and the wooden box to the chamberlain, and said, "You guys are too careless, this jade flute is used by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, why did you get in?" ”
As soon as the chamberlain opened his mouth to explain, he heard him say again: "This is also engraved with the name of His Royal Highness, His Highness has always known etiquette, and will never give it to the daughter of a foreign minister, you!" Take it back quickly, and I will pretend that I don't know anything, so that it will not be difficult for you to do it!" ”
The waiter was dumbfounded for a long time, and finally took the jade flute back.
It may be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken a good start, and Chi Tang has received many gifts one after another.
Almost all the accompanying officials gave a gift, and acquaintances such as Doctor Shang and Uncle He also gave an extra gift.
Before going up the mountain, almost all the gifts were collected, except for one.
