Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Because of his good mood, Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but practice some more difficult moves with the two of them. Xiao Shitou was fine, but Shangguan Qingyue was in a worse situation.

In order to prepare the gifts, she had not gone to bed early for several days in a row. Now she was sitting on the piano table, her legs still shaking.

Well, since today is the birthday girl, she should just be a good girl for the day.

It's easy to play the wrong notes when you walk, and the familiar ruler hits you again. With a crisp sound of "snap", Shangguan Qingyue sat up straight with her teeth bared. The back of her hand turned red, but she didn't dare to rub it, and continued to concentrate on polishing the new song.

Little Stone watched from the side and felt both distressed and amused.

Finally, at noon, Shangguan Qingyue stood up from the piano stool neatly and said happily:

"Sir, everyone in the family is coming back for dinner today, so you must come."

"Since it's a family dinner, I'd better not go. Your family will be at ease." Although Xuanyuan Yan liked this kind of occasional family reunion very much, he was just an outsider after all, so he could only refuse.

That wouldn't work. What if the protagonist didn't come to the birthday party? She gestured to Xiao Shitou from behind, signaling him to come and help.

The little guy scratched his head, and after a long pause, he suddenly blurted out:

"Once a teacher, always a father. Sir, you are naturally a member of our family! How can this banquet be without you?"

Shangguan Qingyue: ...I feel like something is weird.

But there was no good solution for the time being, so she could only smile and nod vigorously.

Xuanyuan Yan's face darkened immediately. Was he going to be a father? !

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Little Stone pulled the other person's sleeve without saying anything and walked straight to the backyard. He shouted like a scoundrel:

"I don't care, I don't care, sir, please go quickly, the beautiful mother-in-law and the others are waiting!"

The food had not yet been served, so the three of them went to the hall of Slow Cooking Life to rest. As soon as he walked into the house, Xuanyuan Yan saw a room full of people, including Li Lanxiang, who was pregnant.

The long table between the sofas was filled with boxes of various sizes.

Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, happy birthday!"

Then came the chorus of blessings from everyone, and for the first time Xuanyuan Yan realized that this was actually how a birthday could be celebrated.

Such joy and anticipation!

Shangguan Qingyue picked up a small bundle on the table, handed it to Xuanyuan Yan with a smile, and said:

"This is a gift I prepared for you, sir. I was in such a rush that I only made one pair. If you like them, I will make you a few more pairs in the future."

A pair? Could it be shoes? But the package looks too small.

He untied the bundle out of curiosity, and inside was a pair of extremely peculiar footwear. The style was simple, and the material was also common fine cotton, and the touch was always soft and comfortable. But compared with what he usually wore, it was too small.

He picked one up and looked at it carefully, then asked hesitantly:

"This footwear is so thin, are you sure I can fit into it? But it's very thoughtful of you to make it for me personally, I will keep it well."

Little Stone immediately became unhappy when he heard this. He pouted and couldn't help saying:

"Sir, how do you know it's not wearable if you haven't even tried it? Our Ruoxi is so talented, how could she make it without knowing the size?"

Zhang Daniu also nodded repeatedly and said anxiously:

"Yes, yes, Master Yuan, you must try it on yourself when you return to your room. This was made by our young lady, who stayed up until midnight every day, and it took her seven or eight days to make it."

"There was only one time when I accidentally made it to midnight. Big girl, you are exaggerating a bit.

These fine cotton socks are different from the silk socks that my husband usually wears. They are elastic, and can be stretched. This way, the whole foot can be well wrapped and it will be very comfortable to wear. They are also sweat-absorbent and breathable, making them perfect for summer wear. "

When Mrs. Li saw the cotton socks, she felt itchy. If they were really as good as her daughter said, then their workshop would be very busy again.

It’s good to be busy, so that everyone can make money!

Then everyone gave Xuanyuan Yan their carefully prepared gifts one by one, including clothes, shoes, pens, inkstones, etc. Even Xiao Shitou gave a pen holder that he had woven himself.

Xuanyuan Yan suppressed the bitterness in his heart, blinked his moist eyes hard, stood up, bowed and said:

"Changqing, thank you all! I will use these things carefully."

Living to the age of eighteen, this is the most special birthday he has ever had since he was a child.

Although it was lively in previous years and he received so many birthday gifts that he didn't even bother to ask about them, he always felt that it was held for his mother and he was just a decoration responsible for cooperating.

After dinner, the guards helped to take the gifts back to the courtyard, but Xuanyuan Yan kept the pair of white cotton socks in his arms. After returning home, he couldn't wait to wash his feet, and then carefully put them on after drying them with a cloth.

These cotton socks were crocheted almost according to the shape of his feet, and there were delicate black bamboo embroidered on the ankles, which was enough to show the thoughtfulness of the person who gave the gift.

Later, he finally understood why Xuan Si smiled so strangely in the early morning. It turned out that the bowl of longevity noodles was made by Shangguan Qingyue for him personally.

That girl had prepared carefully for his birthday for several days, but this morning he slapped her hand because she was not concentrating.

Alas, I must have not rested well these past few days, which is why I couldn't concentrate on playing the piano. I didn't show any mercy when I attacked him...

After putting on his socks, he took out the bamboo slippers that Shangguan Qingyue had given him and put them on. He immediately felt a cool sensation on the soles of his feet, which was very comfortable.

After searching for a long time in the boxes in the room, he finally found a jade bottle. When he opened the stopper, a refreshing fragrance immediately hit his nose. After confirming that it was correct, he placed it in the most conspicuous place on the table.

Xuanyuan Yan secretly warned himself that from now on, he must think twice before doing anything. Although the girl was a little naughty, she was always serious about her work, so he didn't need to be too harsh on her.

Just as he was staring intently at the cotton socks on his feet, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Bai Er bowed and said:

"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine sent someone to deliver a birthday gift to you. The gift is placed in the inn in the county town. This is a handwritten letter from the Imperial Concubine to you." As he said this, he took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it respectfully to Xuanyuan Yan.

The good mood of the whole day disappeared instantly at this moment. Since when, Xuanyuan Yan found that he was becoming less and less patient with his mother.

He placed the letter on the table and asked calmly, "Didn't mother send anyone else? When did she become so easy to talk to?"

"According to the secret agent, the person coming this time is the young uncle of the emperor. He will arrive in the county town in about three days..."

Xuanyuan Yan was not surprised at all, because his uncle from his maternal grandfather's family was mainly in charge of the clinic's business, so it would be most convenient for him to come to him under the guise of inspecting the clinic.

His good mother used every possible means to force him to compromise and return to Beijing!

At this moment, he suddenly had a question: Is that position really that important to him? Is he willing to pay any price for it?

Shangguan Qingyue's beautiful and lively face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt that it would be great to be a teacher to this girl...
