Only this green, not disappointing the spring

The next day, after Shangguan Qingyue finished his martial arts practice, Shangguan Yunxin urged him to take a bath and change clothes.

Not only did he let her change into exquisite new clothes, he also helped her comb her hair into a beautiful and playful bun. Knowing that she didn't like to wear too many hairpins and rings, Shangguan Yunxin only picked out a jade hairpin and inserted it into her hair.

Not only that, she was also given a light and beautiful make-up, with pink lipstick applied, which raised her original six-point color by another two points.

Through careful observation during this period, she found that although her younger sister did not like fancy hair accessories, she was very fond of bracelets, rings and the like.

So after finishing her makeup, she took out the gift she had chosen for a long time, handed it to Shangguan Qingyue, and said:

“Although I know you love green, but mother has bought almost all the nice styles of Zuiyuxuan in the county, so I have to find another way.

This string of oriental pearls is pure and bright in color, and delicate to the touch. I think it matches the color of your clothes very well. Try it on and see if you like it?"

Shangguan Qingyue said with great surprise:

"Of course I like it! These hair accessories are worn for others to see, but I can't appreciate them myself. Bracelets and rings are different. I can see them at any time and take them off occasionally to play with them. My elder sister really understands me!"

"You little heartless boy, don't I, your mother, understand you enough?"

Baili Nanqing came in from outside, holding an exquisite box in her hands.

"Hehe, of course my mother understands me the best! Look, aren't all the clothes and hair accessories on my head bought by you? I love them so much!"

As she spoke, she stood up and turned around twice. Her skirt fluttered like a playful elf in the forest, and the two of them stared at her intently.

Baili Nanqing's eyes were a little moist. Before she had the chance to raise her daughter well, she already had the feeling that "my daughter has grown up".

I feel mixed emotions.

"Oh, I really wish time could go back a few years. How come you've grown up so big when your mother hasn't even treated you well?"

"Mom, I'm only thirteen years old. I have a long way to go before I grow up. I can still accompany you for many years!"

"How is it too early? In two years you will be 15 years old, and then I will have to arrange a marriage for you. How can I bear to do that?!"

Well, okay! In the previous life, thirteen years old was indeed very young, but here you can get married! Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

So Shangguan Qingyue quickly said:

"Mother, let's discuss this. Can we consider marriage after I turn eighteen, no, twenty? I always feel that I am still a child, and getting married and having children is too scary!"

Baili Nanqing had a bitter look on her face, she wished she could keep her daughter by her side forever, but if she really did that she would be harming her!

"Silly child, how can you arrange marriage at the age of 20? If I keep delaying and not letting you get married, all the good men in Kyoto will be picked by other families, and you will have no place to cry when the time comes!"

Then she won't marry. She just can't stand a man with three wives and four concubines! But she can only say this in her heart. She doesn't have the ability to challenge the secular etiquette. She can only take it one step at a time.

"Today is my good day, let's not talk about those bad things. Is the box in mother's hand a birthday gift for me? Let me see it!"

Baili Nanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could getting married be such a bad thing? The lifelong wish of those noble ladies was to marry a man of their dreams. This kid didn't know how to do that at all!

"Open it and take a look. I have been choosing for a long time. Not many girls like to wear rings, so there are not many styles. I asked the people at Zuiyuxuan to customize this for you half a month ago."

Shangguan Yunxin couldn't wait to open the box, and inside was a jade ring the size of a quail egg!

Even if she didn't understand, she could tell that the jade had excellent water color and must be an extraordinary treasure.

She put the ring on her right index finger, then raised her hand to admire the sunlight outside the window from different angles. She sighed:

"Mother, the ring you bought is very valuable. Although I am happy, it is only worth having one of these things. Please do not spend money on them again in the future!"

This was the first birthday gift she bought for her daughter, so it had to be very precious. Thinking of her husband who was still in the capital and was jumping with anger, Baili Nanqing said with a smile:

"Your father wrote me three letters a few days ago, urging me to bring you back to Beijing. As a father, he must not miss your birthday.

I explained to him again and again that we had agreed to go back in the second half of the year, but he wouldn't listen. I don't know if he can still eat today."

Shangguan Yun thought:

"It's really too much for us to leave father alone in the capital. After our house is built, it would be great if father could take a leave and live in the village for a while."

Shangguan Qingyue felt a little guilty. It was because she couldn't let go of the village affairs that she failed to return to Beijing in time. She asked anxiously:

"Mother, will Father hate me because of this? Now that I think about it, I am indeed a little willful..."

"Yuer, are you dressed up? Come out quickly, look who's here?!"

Shangguan Lan was not in a position to enter his daughter's boudoir, so he could only excitedly call for help in the yard.

Shangguan Qingyue and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be...? ! !

Without saying anything, Baili Nanqing and Shangguan Yun hurried out the door. Shangguan Qingyue, however, felt a bit like "homesick", so she followed behind them, walking very slowly.

"master!"

"Father!"

After hearing the two people's addresses, there was nothing unclear. The person who came was actually her father, Shangguan Chong, whom she had never met!

Shangguan Chong's neck was almost getting longer as he waited outside. He saw his wife and adopted daughter but not his long-missed little daughter. He couldn't help but ask anxiously:

"Where's Yue'er? Where's my precious daughter?"

Hearing the voice, Shangguan Qingyue took a few quick steps out of the room, lifted her skirt and walked down the stairs before looking up at the person who came.

——Wow, what a charming middle-aged man!

Although he is not handsome, he has a calm and restrained literary temperament, a tall and straight figure, and a pair of sharp eyes...

Shangguan Qingyue just tilted her head back, her mouth slightly open, and stared at the other person in a daze.

Shangguan Chong first looked at her carefully, and when he saw that the child was 70% similar to himself, his eyes instantly turned red. What evidence did he need? Just by looking at this face, he could be sure that she was his daughter!

He walked up to Shangguan Qingyue, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said with a choked voice:

"My precious daughter! I have wronged you over the years. Daddy will do his best to compensate you in the future! Our family can finally live in peace. God is really merciful!"

Shangguan Qingyue was a small and delicate girl, and she was buried in Shangguan Chong's arms. Smelling the faint pine and ink scent emanating from her father, she couldn't help but think:

So this is what it feels like to be a father?

In her previous life, her father died early. After coming to this time and space, Zhou Jun first suffered a stroke and became paralyzed. After he finally recovered, he abandoned her and her two daughters because of Old Man Zhou.

Therefore, she never had the opportunity to truly experience what kind of existence her father was.

It turns out to be so reassuring!

Tears welled up in her eyes and she rubbed her cheeks against Shangguan Chong's body like a coquettish cat.

Shangguan Chong caressed his daughter's little head lovingly and said with a smile:

"Good boy, you're not crying secretly, are you? Stop crying, do you want to see the surprise your father has prepared for you?"
