Chapter 13 Preparing for a Birthday Gift
Mo Xuelian couldn't help but feel surprised when she looked at the little thing eating and gobbling up, and thought, "I didn't expect this little thing to have a small body, but it looked like a tiger when it ate." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly, thinking that I would have to help it get food in the future, and I was afraid that I would not be so idle in the future.
Since Mo Xuelian and Hongru don't eat much, the meals they usually eat are just enough for the two of them, Mo Xuelian didn't dare to eat too much for that little thing, and the snow qilin watched the two of them eat and was anxious, and kept yelling at Mo Xuelian.
Mo Xuelian didn't pay attention to it, thinking, "I'll go and get it something to eat later." After Hongru and Mo Xuelian finished dinner and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, the two went back to their rooms.
"I haven't eaten yet. After Mo Xuelian returned to the room, the snow qilin pouted.
"That meal is only enough for two people, in the dead of night, I'll take you to the kitchen of the Lin Mansion to help you get some food. Mo Xuelian looked at it with some amusement.
"You're going to talk the talk. Xue Qilin's face immediately became happy after hearing this.
Mo Xuelian nodded after hearing this, "Okay, okay." After speaking, Mo Xuelian began to cultivate in her room.
Since Mo Xuelian came to the Lin Mansion, although she has been accompanying Lin Hongwan most of the time, she does not dare to slack off on the practice of immortal arts.
She basically cultivates when she is alone in the room, and although her immortal skills are not as fast as before entering the Lin Mansion, she has also grown a lot over time.
She was already able to control the movement of the objects around her and create rudimentary illusions at will, the snow qilin next to her looked at Mo Xuelian with curiosity, although it knew that Mo Xuelian was not like ordinary people, but it was still shocked when it saw that it could create natural scenes such as mountains, streams, and rivers.
"The vision of this immortal thing is really good, and the people who choose it casually are so powerful. So, it stood aside and looked at Mo Xuelian proudly.
Mo Xuelian glanced at it after hearing this, "I chose you." Xue Qilin smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and pretended to cough twice.
Mo Xuelian had been cultivating for almost four hours, and the people in Mo Lin Mansion should have already fallen asleep, and then, she looked at Xue Qilin, "Let's go, little thing, go find something to eat for you." ”
"Okay, okay, go quickly, this immortal is going to be hungry with his chest against his back. After hearing this, Xue Qilin excitedly immediately entered Mo Xuelian's sleeve.
So, Mo Xuelian quietly opened the door and walked out of the courtyard, and then walked carefully along the way, and walked for about half an hour before coming to the kitchen of the Lin Mansion.
Mo Xuelian first hid aside and saw that there was indeed no one in the kitchen of the Lin Mansion, so she lightly took the snow qilin into the kitchen.
After entering the kitchen, Mo Xuelian lifted the lid of the cauldron and saw that there were still some leftovers of braised pork in it, and there were still a few bowls of leftovers next to the cauldron, so she picked up the braised pork and leftovers and fed them to Xue Qilin.
After Xue Qilin saw the braised pork, he didn't even say a word in his mouth, and immediately rushed to the braised pork and ate it in a big gulp, the light in his eyes seemed to be able to swallow up all the darkness, Mo Xuelian stood on the spot and said that she was helpless.
After Xue Qilin finished eating, he pouted in satisfaction, "I'm done, we can go back, this meal is really not ordinarily delicious." ”
Mo Xuelian smiled at the little thing with a satisfied look and let her go back to her sleeve, and then, Mo Xuelian quietly returned to her residence, seeing that it was already late, so this person rested as soon as she was petted.
The next morning, after Mo Xuelian got up, Xue Qilin looked at Mo Xuelian's arrogant appearance.
"This immortal thing is going to drink dew, do you want to go with me?"
"I'll go with you, I'm really worried about you, although others can't see you, but I'm really afraid that you will get into trouble yourself. So, Mo Xuelian followed behind the snow unicorn and accompanied it all the way to drink the dew on the flowers and plants.
Mo Xuelian followed it all the way and found that this little thing still really drank a lot of dew, and several large areas of the Lin Mansion were not enough for it to drink, so the snow qilin ran all the way and drank all the way, and came to the vicinity of the Buddhist hall of the Lin Mansion after running.
The Buddhist hall of the Lin family is set up by the ancestors of the Lin family to worship the Buddha, the ancestors of the Lin family generally recite the scriptures in the Buddhist hall three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, almost the door does not go out of the two doors, and eats fasting and recites the Buddha in the Lin Mansion, not much out of the Lin Mansion, only occasionally goes to the Buddhist temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha for half a month, fills some incense money for the Buddhist temple and funds to repair the temple.
Mo Xuelian saw that the little thing was about to run into the courtyard of the Buddha Hall, so she immediately ran forward to stop it, "This is the Buddha Hall of the ancestors of the Lin family, we had better not enter it, so as not to disturb the ancestors of the Lin family to worship the Buddha and recite the scriptures." “
When Mo Xuelian was about to turn around and leave, she heard that Master Lin and Mrs. Lin were greeting the ancestors, and Master Lin and Mrs. Lin would come to the Buddha Hall every morning to greet the ancestors, only to hear the voice of the ancestors, "Mother, your sixtieth birthday is approaching, I want to hold a birthday banquet for you, I don't know what my mother thinks." ”
"As soon as I eat fasting and chanting Buddha, I won't hold a birthday banquet. Then, I heard Mrs. Lin's voice.
"Mother, if it were your birthday, it would be okay, but this is the 60th birthday, and my son thinks it should be done, and my son also wants to take advantage of this birthday banquet to walk around with his business friends. ”
When Mrs. Lin heard her son say this, she felt that for her son's sake, she should do it for her 60th birthday.
"Okay, let's do it for the 60th birthday, don't be too extravagant. ”
After hearing this, Master Lin nodded, "Then don't disturb my mother's chanting, Rue Xiang and I left first, Mrs. Lin also nodded after hearing this, and then Master Lin and Mrs. Lin withdrew."
At this time, Mo Xuelian saw that Master Lin and Mrs. Lin were about to come out, so she immediately picked up the snow unicorn and left here.
So, he took Xue Qilin back to his residence and had breakfast with Hongru, and after breakfast, Mo Xuelian still planned to go to the courtyard of the middle hall to continue to accompany him as usual.
When Mo Xuelian came to the courtyard of the middle hall, she still saw the female gentleman waiting early, Mo Xuelian walked into the middle hall and said hello to the female gentleman, she sat and waited for Lin Hongwan to come, and after a while, Lin Hongwan's figure appeared in the courtyard of the middle hall, and after Lin Hongwan also greeted the female gentleman, the two began to continue studying.
"Today, we are still playing chess, but not the same as yesterday, today we are playing blind chess. At this time, I heard the voice of the female gentleman speak.
"I don't see how to play chess. The two asked curiously.
"I don't require you to actually be able to play blind chess, I just want you to experience what it's like to play blind chess. ”
As he spoke, the female gentleman picked up the two fabrics that had been prepared from the desk and looked at Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian.
"Look at the chessboard carefully, remember the position, and then cover your eyes with this cloth in a moment. After speaking, he handed the cloth to the two of them, and after the two took the cloth, they carefully observed the chessboard.
Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian observed for two hours.
"Blindfold yourself and try to play blind chess. The female gentleman looked at the two and said.
After hearing this, the two obediently blindfolded their eyes, and then played blind chess, and the female gentleman carefully observed the two playing blind chess.
"Okay, now take the cloth off your eyes and see how you play your own blind chess. About an hour later, the two finished playing chess.
After hearing this, the two took off the cloth on their eyes and looked at the chessboard, only to see that the chessboard was crookedly placed with all kinds of chess pieces, and some of the chess pieces were not on the grid of the chessboard, and both of them laughed unconsciously after seeing it.
"It's already very good that you can finish playing chess, just let you experience the feeling of playing blind chess, okay, it's almost noon, you can rest for a while, I'm going to take a break too." With that, the lady left here to rest.
After the female gentleman left, Lin Hongwan looked at Mo Xuelian, "When my father and mother and I had breakfast today, I heard that my grandmother's 60th birthday is coming, and my father and mother will hold a 60th birthday for my grandmother." "I'm also going to prepare a gift for my grandmother's 60th birthday, Xuelian, what kind of gift do you want to give my grandmother? “
After hearing this, Mo Xuelian remembered what she heard near the Buddha Hall this morning, "The ancestor doesn't like extravagance and waste when eating fasting and reciting Buddha, if you buy ready-made things, I don't think it's as good as what you prepared yourself, and you can show your sincerity." “
"Then you help me think about it, what should I prepare?" Lin Hongwan felt that it made sense after hearing this, so she continued to ask Mo Xuelian.
"I think it's better for you to embroider a double-sided fan with flowers, birds and plants to your grandmother, which is both practical and beautiful, and your grandmother can also use a fan when it's hot." Mo Xuelian thought for a moment.
Lin Hongwan thought it was a good idea when she heard it, but she was worried, "This double-sided fan is good, but I'm afraid that I won't embroider well, Xuelian or you can help me embroider together." As he spoke, he shook Mo Xuelian's shoulder and said, "It's not good, it's good." “
"Okay, I'll embroider for you. Mo Xuelian was so shaken by her that she couldn't help it, and her head was almost dizzy.
"Great, so my grandmother will be happy to receive this gift. Mo Xuelian nodded in agreement.
So, after Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian finished learning with Mr. Girl in the afternoon, they left the courtyard of the atrium together to prepare the tools for showing the double-sided fan.
After the two came to the warehouse together, Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan looked for supplies to make double-sided fans, Mo Xuelian found a piece of red satin with good silk, picked it up and looked at it, and felt that this was very suitable, "Just this piece of silk, the color is good, it is very suitable for celebration." ”
Lin Hongwan took it over and looked at it carefully and thought it was good, so the two chose this piece of silk.
"Is it better to use gold or black for embroidering the thread of the word longevity?"
Mo Xuelian thought for a while, "I think it's better to use the golden thread to show off the word Shou." Then the two of them found the best gold silk thread and some other colored silk thread, and after finding all the supplies for embroidering the double-sided fan, the two left the storehouse together.
After Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan left the warehouse, the two came to the side hall together, because it also took a long time to embroider a double-sided fan, the two had to embroider it before the birthday banquet.
So, they didn't dare to delay, so they all started to start embroidering double-sided fans, Mo Xuelian threaded the needle, Lin Hongwan put the red satin on the tool to embroider the double-sided fan, and the two began to prepare to embroider.
