Chapter 35: The Birthday Feast is Approaching
The days are not slow, Xie Chang'an is doing his work step by step every day, the female red, literacy and hyphenation are quite effective, especially Xie Chang'an's handwriting Xie Changning has been imitated almost perfectly, but the piano art is not something that can be practiced overnight, and now it is still unsatisfactory, Xie Changan is secretly anxious, and can only be more and more diligent, and the female teacher can't help but feel distressed when she looks at it.
On this day, the Lin family was having dinner with Xie Chang'an, and said: "Ning'er, yesterday I heard that the Queen Mother's 60th birthday is coming, and the emperor will definitely feast the ministers at that time, and the Queen Mother is very fond of young children, so she will summon you into the palace to be lively, Ning'er, you have to be prepared......"
In previous years, when the Queen Mother celebrated her birthday, the emperor knew that the Queen Mother liked young children, so he recruited the children of officials above the fifth rank into the palace for a banquet, which also seemed to make the younger generation want to see it. In this dynasty, blind marriages are rare, and both parents will intentionally arrange for their children to find an opportunity to meet each other, and only make a marriage contract if they like each other, so this move is not unreasonable.
Xie Changan frowned and said, "Mother, can I not go to the birthday banquet?" Mother, you also know that during the queen's birthday banquet, my sister moved the capital with a song "Yuntai Tune", if I go this time, I will have to let me play the piano, but now I really can't play the piano on the stage......"
"Ning'er, if there is nothing important, this matter will definitely not be postponed, and you also know that the crime of bullying the king is a capital crime...... How good is that? Ning'er ...... Mother is going to discuss with the ancestors! Alas, what can I do about this......" As he spoke, the Lin family was about to go to the upper room, and Xie Changan hurriedly followed.
After Mrs. Xie knew the intention of the Lin family and Xie Changan, she thought for a while and said, "In this case, if your hand is injured, you will naturally not be able to stroke the qin......
Lin Shi immediately understood the meaning of Mrs. Xie's words, and looked at Xie Chang'an worriedly, my poor An'er, I'm afraid I will suffer again...... For a while, his eyes were red.
"Grandmother, granddaughter understands......" seemed to think of something again, "Grandmother, if the Queen Mother has to let me perform, then what should my granddaughter do?" Xie Changan was worried in his heart, and he only hated that his former self had no strengths except for dancing and swords!
"Ning'er, you can't count on grandmother for everything, no one can predict what will happen at the birthday banquet, grandmother will not be by your side at that time, you have to rely on yourself." Mrs. Xie sipped the tea, and then said: "There are still a few days before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, you think about it carefully, grandmother is tired......" Xie Changan has a long way to go, and she can only rely on herself in the future......
Hearing this, the Lin family and Xie Changan retreated in interest, and the Lin family secretly blamed Mrs. Xie for being unkind. Xie Changan seemed to see what Lin was thinking, and said softly: "Mother, grandmother is old, we go to bother her old man, it's ours...... My grandmother was right, if I relied on her too much, I would have been too much to cope with at the birthday party. ”
Hearing this, the Lin family felt ashamed, Xie Changan actually saw it more thoroughly than himself, and said embarrassedly: "Ning'er, my mother is also anxious...... However, how the ancestors do it is all thoughtful, as long as Ning'er has the bottom in your heart, my mother will not worry! ”
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Rong An waited for the morning court and informed Xie Chang'an: "An'er, three days later, the emperor will celebrate the birthday of the queen mother, and the children of officials above the fifth grade in the court will go to celebrate her birthday, so you can prepare for it!" Xie Chang'an responded with no different color.
Not long after, news came from Zhuyi Academy that Xie Chang'an accidentally injured his hand when he was cultivating female red, Rong Anhou frowned slightly when he heard this, looked at the Lin family who seemed to have expected it on the side and asked, "Ning'er, this is on purpose?" Why is that? ”
"Master, at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Ning'er categorically can't touch the qin, there is no other way than this method...... I'll go see how Ning'er's hand hurts...... This kid is ruthless, I don't know how many hands this will be! Lin still has lingering feelings about Xie Changan's self-harm.
This will Xie Changning still hurt his left hand, and he unanimously said to the outside world that Xie Changning accidentally injured his hand in order to make a purse for Yan Qinglan, in this way, no one should doubt it, after all, the two have already made a marriage, and it is harmless to give each other some small objects.
Because of the preparations, Xie Changan's hand had already been bandaged at this time, and Lin Shi saw his left hand wrapped in gauze, and said worriedly: "Ning'er, why are you so careless?" How does it hurt, but it still hurts? "Lin is not all acting, and his worries are also real.
"Mother, it's just a minor injury, it's not a big deal, but I'm afraid I won't be able to care for the piano these days......" Xie Changan was sad.
Lin said angrily: "When you are injured, you can stroke the qin whenever you want, and now you can live in peace!" ”
Xie Chang'an injured his hand in embroidering a purse for Yan Qinglan, somehow it reached Yan Qinglan's ears, Yan Qinglan was mixed when he arrived, "Xie Changning" embroidered a purse for him, he was happy, but he hurt his hand, which outweighed the loss. I don't know how Changning's hand hurts, Yan Qinglan couldn't help but worry, and immediately wrote a letter to ask Li Caifu to go to the Rong'an Hou Mansion to condole, and brought some medicinal herbs with him.
Xiao Yu jumped up and down in a hurry when he got the news, pestering Xiao Yuan and said: "Big brother, Chang'an injured his hand, you just let the imperial doctor go to Chang'an to take a look!" Big brother, Yu'er knows that you are the best......"
Xiao Yuan said helplessly: "Yu'er, Xie Changan's injury to his hand is not a big deal, don't bother the imperial doctor......"
Xiao Yu said unrelentingly: "Big brother, don't let the imperial doctor go, then you take me to see Chang'an, I haven't seen Chang'an for a long time......" said, aggrieved. Even if he saw Xie Changan before, Xie Changan didn't pay much attention to him, but Yan Shizi comforted him with kind words, and told him to go home early, which made Xiao Yu feel more and more inferior, but he still couldn't help but want to see Xie Changan......
"Yu'er, three days later, it will be the emperor's grandmother's birthday banquet, then you will be able to see Xie Chang'an, you won't go today, otherwise others will misunderstand Xie Chang'an, are you willing to listen to others say bad things about Xie Chang'an?"
Although Xiao Yu was unwilling, he still took Xie Chang'an as the priority, and said in a muffled voice: "Then I won't go today......" Seeing that Xiao Yu finally settled down, Xiao Yuan let out a sigh of relief, but secretly thought to himself: How can this Xie Chang'an hurt his hand in a good way, and the birthday banquet of the emperor's grandmother is coming soon, so coincidental......
At this time, Xie Changan saw that Yan Qinglan sent someone to condole, and his heart was happy, and the pain in his hand unconsciously weakened a little. After reading Yan Qinglan's letter, Xie Changan wanted to reply to Yan Qinglan on a whim, so he asked Qingshuang to grind. This is the first time Xie Changan has replied to Yan Qinglan, and he didn't know where to start writing for a while, Qingshuang saw that Miss didn't know where to write, and said with a smile: "Miss, if you don't know how to write, just write according to Yan Shizi's letter!" ”
Xie Changan glanced at Qingshuang approvingly, and was about to write according to Yan Shizi's letter, but for some reason he paused again, thinking about it, he still only wrote that his hand injury was not a big deal, so that Yan Qinglan did not have to worry, and the two of them would be able to meet again at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in three days...... After the payment was settled, Xie Changan read the letter carefully before handing it over to Qingshuang with a sigh of relief.
Xie Changan read Yan Qinglan's letter carefully again before reluctantly putting it into the wooden box. Yan Qinglan's letters, Xie Changan carefully stored them, whenever he was confused, painful, and exhausted, Xie Changan looked at these letters over and over again, the clear and strong font, and the words full of love between the lines, could always give Xie Changan the strength to settle down, so that she tenaciously approached Yan Qinglan...... Xie Changan couldn't help but be in a trance, if it was Xie Changan in the past, how could he care about these children's affections? That's it, the past is like smoke, and it's useless to think about it!
Yan Qinglan took Xie Chang'an's letter and asked in surprise: "Ah Fu, is this Chang'an's reply to me?" Yan Qinglan couldn't believe it, he had never received a reply from Xie Changan. Li Caifu said: "Lord Shizi, this is Xie Changan's reply to you. ”
Yan Qinglan was overjoyed, took the letter and went to the study. Carefully unfold the letter, and into the eyes is a very beautiful hairpin flower, clear and graceful, just like Xie Changning's gentleness like water when he first saw him. Yan Qinglan read the letter at a glance, and then looked at it carefully from beginning to end, for fear of missing a word...... Even if Xie Chang'an wrote plain as water, Yan Qinglan was very satisfied, he knew that he had opened the heart of "Xie Changning"......
Because of Xie Chang'an's letter, Yan Qinglan smiled like a spring breeze all day long, and even smiled a little at Su Ningwei, who stayed in Yanjun Wangfu with illness. Su Ningwei couldn't help but be stunned, and her heart became more and more determined, how could such a fairy-like cousin let Xie Changan monopolize it......
That night, when Su Ningwei passed by the lotus pond in the garden in Yan Qinglan, she "accidentally" fell into the water, fluttering in the water, and shouted in horror: "Help!" Save...... Fate ......" Yan Qinglan's eyes flashed slightly, and she said to Li Caifu: "Ah Fu, go and rescue Miss Biao." When he had finished speaking, he turned around and left, not as soon as he left, but told the maid to bring her clothes over. This Su Ningwei must not be able to stay in the mansion.
Su Ningwei really doesn't have water, she believes that Yan Qinglan won't die without help, before she became unconscious, she felt that she was pulled by someone's waist, thinking that it was her cousin who came to save her, right? I fainted with peace of mind at the moment, and I was secretly proud in my heart......
I don't know how long it took, when Su Ningwei woke up, she saw Princess Yanjun looking at her with an inquiring face, her eyes searched around, but she didn't see Yan Qinglan, and she was immediately very disappointed.
"Ning Wei, who are you looking at?" Su Ningwei's careful thinking could not escape the eyes of Princess Yanjun.
Su Ningwei hurriedly said: "Ning Wei didn't look at anyone, she was just in a trance for a while. After that, I didn't dare to look up at Princess Yanjun.
"Ning Wei, why are you still in the garden so late? The maid didn't bring one, and she accidentally fell into the water, if it weren't for Lan'er who happened to pass by, let Ah Fu save you......" happened to be the word, Princess Yanjun accentuated her tone.
Su Ningwei asked incredulously when she heard this, "Didn't my cousin rescue me?" How so? I obviously saw my cousin ......" Before she finished speaking, Su Ningwei realized what she had said, and immediately looked at Princess Yanjun with a panicked face.
Princess Yanjun said coldly: "It shouldn't be yours, why bother with delusion? In two days, when you are well, I will send you back. ”
Su Ningwei looked at the back of Princess Yanjun leaving, clutching the brocade quilt with both hands, no, she can't be sent back, otherwise, she will really never see her cousin again......
