Happy times always pass like a white horse, and after watching the play, Huang Jin'er, Zhang Yu and a few other little ladies said goodbye to Lu Tang and went home.

In the evening, several young masters returned to the mansion together.

"Stinky girl, come over here and see what this is!"

Lu Liu began to shout as soon as he entered the door, and the other young masters did not stop him, only looked at Lu Tang with a smile.

Lu Tang didn't bother to bother with him, and only pretended not to hear his "stinky girl". With a little curiosity, he walked over and looked at the basket he was holding in his arms.

I saw that the bamboo basket was covered with a layer of blue cotton cloth, and there seemed to be a living creature squirming lightly underneath.

"Open it and take a look."

Lu Liu said impatiently, but there was a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Lu Tang glared at him, and reached out to lift the blue cotton cloth.

"Oops!" She shouted in surprise.

Seeing this, Pu Jia and Cai Wei next to them couldn't help but look at it curiously, and they were caught off guard by seeing a small head poking out of the basket timidly - snow-white and soft hair, big black eyes, and a small round body, it turned out to be a little Pekingese dog.

Lu Tang bit his lip lightly, carefully lifted it out of the basket, and gently stroked it in his arms.

Seeing this, Lu Liu couldn't help but say proudly: "I like it, this is the little milk dog we specially asked you from the county king's mansion!" ”

"You're coming from the county king's mansion?"

When Lu Tang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Naturally, no one in the capital knows that the prince of Shun'an County loves dogs the most, and his family is full of top good dogs collected from all over the world. Not long ago, we heard that his Pekingese dog had given birth to a cub, so we thought about it and wasted a lot of effort to ask for one. ”

Fifth Young Master Lu Qi was a little proud on the side, and explained with bent eyes.

"Sister, give it a name." Lu Er smiled warmly.

Lu Tang looked down at the big wet eyes of the puppy in his arms, and couldn't help but feel that his heart had turned into a puddle of water.

After thinking about it, he said, "It was born in winter, and it has snow-white hair, so why don't you call it a snowball!" ”

"That's a fitting name."

Lu Si smiled happily and teased the little milk dog in Lu Tang's arms, obviously he also liked it very much.

"Snowball, snowball." Lu Tang teased the little Pekingese dog, and saw it stretch out its little tongue and lick the back of his hand, and he only felt happy in his heart.

The night is like ink, and the crescent moon hangs high.

The main hall of the Lu Mansion was brightly lit at this time, and there was endless laughter and laughter. I saw that Lu Tang was only wearing a small moon-white embroidered fur jacket, with a Yang Fei-colored embroidered cotton skirt tied under his waist, standing in the hall and smiling with his teeth, holding the little Jingba snowball to Mrs. Lu and Lu Yushi.

"Mother, I want to have a maid with a dog." Lu Tang said coquettishly.

"Okay, you will be paired with a smart and capable girl tomorrow."

Mrs. Lu happily agreed, looking at the fluffy little milk dog arching back and forth in Lu Tang's arms, she also felt twelve points of love and love in her heart.

Lu Yushi didn't think there was anything good about the little milk dog, but looking at the smile on the faces of his wife and daughter, he also stroked his beard and praised a few words of "good dog" with a smile on his face.

At the same time, he instructed his subordinates to bring up the birthday gifts they had prepared for their daughters.

I saw that the tray was covered with a red cloth, and when I opened it, I saw a very delicate metal jewelry box, on which were carved with gold and silver ornaments, and inlaid with various precious stones. And this gorgeous box is obviously not produced in the Central Plains, and it is very exotic.

Lu Tang loved it when he saw it, so he handed the snowball in his arms to Cai Wei next to him and hugged it, and stepped forward to touch the box.

When I opened it again, I saw a small piece of crystal clear round crystal mirror embedded in the lid. Lu Tang leaned over to take a look, and the fine fluff on his face was clearly visible.

Then she went to hug Lu Yushi's arm and coquettishly said: "Thank you Daddy, this jewelry box is really beautiful!" ”

"It just so happened that General Zheng was coming to the palace today to pay tribute, and this box was one of the tributes brought back by the sea ship from the Western Ocean. When the emperor heard that it was your birthday, he gave it to me casually. ”

Lu Yushi stroked his beard proudly and said.

"It's a tribute!" Lu Tang couldn't help but be speechless.

The others listened to the Emperor's grace, and Lu Wu and Lu Liu couldn't bear it, and they all came around to look at the jewelry box.

After a while, Lu Tang looked at the jewelry that Mrs. Lu had prepared for him, and saw that it was a new set of red gold skeins. And the other young masters, in addition to the little Pekingese dog, also prepared their own birthday gifts.

Lu Er gave him a painting that Lu Tang wore a white sable cloak, standing under a red plum tree and looking back, with a delicate face and a radiant face.

The third young master Lu Jiu sent a box of Ruyuelou's lipstick - the Ruyuelou's lipstick is very difficult to find, only ten boxes in spring, ten boxes in summer, ten boxes in autumn, and ten boxes in winter every year, and only take flowers from all seasons to do, Lu Jiu sent red plum grease made in winter.

The fourth young master gave an octagonal small palace lamp, and Lu Tang saw that the small palace lamp was exquisitely made, and when he asked, it was actually made by Lu Fang himself.

Lu Wu sent a pearl to shake in a decent manner, he was afraid that Lu Tang would not like it, so he bit his lip and was a little nervous. Lu Tang couldn't help but smile when he saw him, knowing that he must have been carefully selected for a long time, so he expressed his liking very seriously, and ordered Pujia to put it away carefully.

But Lu Liu threw over a box of Fengle Lou's dim sum with a hippie smile, and said, "You girl loves to eat greedily on weekdays, so I'll give you a box of pea yellow." The upright Lu Tang chased him and beat him for a long time.

…………

Because Lu Yushi was not there at noon, there was a formal banquet in the evening, and the whole family celebrated the birthday of the youngest daughter Lu Tang.

The dishes were served one by one, and Lu Yushi sat in the chief and took the lead in taking a sip of wine.

"My Tang'er will be thirteen years old today, and she can be regarded as a big girl."

Lu Yushi looked at his little daughter's delicate and lovely little face, and only felt that this day was like a white horse, and the pink and tender little ball had grown into a slim little girl in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

Mrs. Lu was full of the pride of my daughter's growth, looked at Lu Tang and said with a smile: "Our family Tangtang is getting older now, the more beautiful it is, I'm afraid that it will not be able to keep it in two years." I only hope that the young men who come to ask for marriage will not break through the door of our house. ”

Lu Tang stomped his feet in shame when he heard this, and said angrily: "Mother, you are really." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and she blushed even more.

The delicacies were served on a plate, and the dishes such as shredded bird's nest chicken, continued eight immortals, pepper and vinegar shrimp, five-flavor steamed chicken, mutton crystal horn and other dishes were full of color and flavor, Lu Tang ate the mutton crystal horn and the taste was a little different from the usual big kitchen, so he asked.

Sure enough, after a while, a little girl said back and forth that it was made by the new chef who had recently been recruited in the kitchen, and it was said that she had fled from the north and made good mutton.

Lu Tang praised a few more words, and ordered Pu Jia to reward the cook for a while.
