Chapter 291: Zihan's Birthday Gift (1st Update)
When he first came back, Shen Qing asked Xiangqiao how Zihan's birthday had been spent in the past ten years, and Xiangqiao said that Zihan, as Yu Jiuqing's only son-in-law, would never slack off on his birthday every year, and would hold a banquet to invite relatives and friends.
But because there was no master mother in the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time, Yu Jiuqing was busy with official business, and it was Mrs. Wei Qihou who stood up to take charge of this matter every year.
Guo Qingfu has been unpleasant to see him since Yu Jiuqing took a concubine, and he will never set foot in the Prime Minister's Mansion half a step if he has nothing to do, and only Zihan will come to the Prime Minister's Mansion before and after his birthday, and organize the birthday banquet of his friend's only child for his friend who has no news.
Although Yu Jiuqing attends Zihan's birthday banquet every year, in the next few years, the relationship between father and son is as stiff as enemies, even on Zihan's birthday, there is no easing in the slightest, although Yu Jiuqing attended his son's birthday banquet, but the communication between father and son has never exceeded ten sentences.
Although Yu Jiuqing prepares a birthday gift for Zihan every year, it is Chen Li who sends the birthday gift to Zihan, although the birthday gift every year is very exquisite, which happens to meet Zihan's preferences, but because Zihan feels that these birthday gifts are picked by Chen Li, it is difficult to be happy, and he often asks Xiangqiao to put it away after a glance.
Thinking of Xiangqiao's embarrassed and helpless look when she said these words to her, Shen Qing couldn't help but be silent, even now, she still felt sorry for her son who thought she was not loved by her father, and at the same time hated this man's bad words.
Therefore, although she has been trying to discuss with Yu Jiuqing about Zihan's birthday gift in the past few days, but the army is about to be dispatched, Yu Jiuqing has a lot of affairs, and there is almost no time to sleep every day.
She thought that this man must have been unprepared, but who knew that Yu Jiuqing nodded and said, "I prepared it half a month ago." ”
Half a month ago...... They hadn't even reunited then!
Shen Qing was slightly surprised and looked at him in disbelief, "You lied to me, right?" ”
Yu Jiuqing raised his eyebrows slightly, seeing that the wind on the city tower was getting stronger and stronger, he took his wife's hand and slowly walked down the city tower, and said, "What am I lying to you about these things?" Chen Li knew that I would prepare a birthday gift for Zihan every year, and reminded me of this as early as half a month ago. ”
In fact, there is no need for Chen Li to remind him, he also remembers his son's birthday.
Even at that time, because Shen Qing was nowhere to be found, he was full of ruthlessness and despair, but he still had a soft heart in his heart.
Shen Qing immediately asked, "Then what is the birthday gift you prepared for Zihan?" ”
Yu Jiu said lightly: "After Zihan entered the barracks, he especially liked to use spears as weapons, at that time, there was a blacksmith in Chenzhou who was good at making weapons living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, so I sent someone to let him use stainless steel and cold iron as the material, and made a special trip to cast a spear suitable for Zihan for him, which should be sent over with Cheng Yi's birthday gift." ”
Shen Qing was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but pause.
Yu Jiuqing also stopped with her, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Shen Qing looked at him strangely with a strange look in his eyes, and said, "Jiuqing, I heard that Zihan's birthday gifts were all sent by Chen Li...... Those birthday gifts, you didn't pick them yourself, right? ”
Listening to him explain the origin of the birthday gift so clearly, it was obvious that this birthday gift was prepared by himself, not as Shen Qing thought before, it was all thrown to Chen Li to be the master.
Could it be that the birthday gifts in the past were the same?
Yu Jiuqing frowned slightly, a little unintelligible about his wife's words, and said, "In the past, Zihan's birthday ceremony was naturally prepared by me. ”
Although he is cold and indifferent, he is for the people and things next to him.
His wife and children have always been in his heart.
Shen Qing couldn't help but be silent for a long time, and finally, he raised his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.
What is this?
Although she had known for a long time that the father and son had not hated each other as they appeared on the surface in the past ten years, the more she learned the details of those years, the more helpless she became.
There is also a hint of sadness and regret that cannot be changed in the past.
The father and son have obviously always taken each other to heart, but they have been stumbling for ten years.
How many decades can there be in life? Not to mention, those ten years were a precious childhood for Zihan.
When Shen Qing first disappeared, Zihan was only in his early two years old, and he was not old enough to remember, Shen Qing was very confused, although children were born with admiration for their parents, but Zihan was too obsessed with her at the beginning.
It was so deep that he wanted to escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion in order to find her, and even begged Guo Feiyang to take him away.
Later, Shen Qing gradually understood that Zihan's obsession with her came from his natural admiration on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was because of Yu Jiuqing's indifference to him as his father, which made the little child feel aggrieved and sad, and in the end, he could only pin those grievances and sadness on his unimpressed mother.
He didn't want to be a child who no one loved, so he could only tell himself that even if his father didn't love him, his mother would definitely love him, but his mother was not there now.
Under such psychological hints day after day, year after year, his obsession with her will become deeper and deeper.
It's just that it's useless to be sad about the past, Shen Qing glared at Yu Jiuqing silently, gritted his teeth and said, "This birthday gift, you must hand it over to Zihan for me." ”
Yu Jiuqing was slightly stunned.
"And tell him exactly what you just said to me.
And tell him that the birthday gifts in the past years were all specially selected for him by you, and you did not fake them. ”
Yu Jiuqing suddenly thought of something in his mind, and he couldn't help but show a little surprise on his face.
Seeing his wife's eyes looking at him obsessively waiting for him to answer, he couldn't help but squeeze his wife's hand and replied in a low voice, "Okay, I know." ”
On the other side, Zihan had been following behind Sima Yu, but when he saw that the little girl was just walking forward, no matter what he said and ignoring him, he couldn't help frowning, grabbed her wrist and said, "What's wrong with you?" It's okay! ”
He didn't do anything to offend her!
Sima Yu was suddenly held by the young man's wrist, feeling the warmth and roughness in his palm, and couldn't help blushing.
She wasn't angry, she wasn't playing tricks, she was just a little shy thinking about what she was going to do in a while.
The carriage carrying them was in front, and Sima Yu originally wanted to return to the mansion and give him the things he had prepared, but when he held her wrist, she was shocked and ashamed, and subconsciously looked at the people around her quickly.
Fortunately, because the army is going to set off today, the city gate is surrounded by soldiers, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach.
