It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!
Chapter 57 I will read you a poem
The atmosphere was already so awkward that Duke Chu couldn't stand at the door waiting for Lin Zhifu any longer, so he sat down with Lin Zhihe.
As soon as they entered the house, they were greeted by a group of men, all of different heights and weights, walking quickly in their direction.
These should be the original owner's Calabash Brothers. To be more precise, they are the original owner's seven brothers. The original owner was favored partly because she was the youngest child in the family.
When they saw the Duke of Yan and King Cheng, they bowed respectfully and shouted in unison, "Greetings to King Cheng, Greetings to the Duke of Yan."
King Cheng's expression was still not very good, but he forced a smile and waved his hands repeatedly, "Hey, we are all brothers, why should we be so formal? It's a rare occasion for us to get together today, so naturally we should be free and happy."
You two are the most pretentious ones, stop talking about others. Lin Zhihe secretly complained in his heart.
Lin Zhihe looked at the big round table and sat down at the head of the table.
King Cheng still had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him eight million.
After some time, Lin Yingchen and Lin Zhifu supported their grandmother and slowly took their seats.
Perhaps it was because tonight was a family dinner, or perhaps it was because grandma had already enjoyed all the splendor and wealth and didn't care much about material things, so she still wore the same plain dress with the silver cloth swing.
Seeing grandma coming, everyone at the table stood up and looked at her.
"Wow, this person has really achieved everything!" The grandmother was very happy to see these descendants. She had a smile on her face that she couldn't stop.
"An old lady like me has celebrated an ordinary birthday, but everyone has been troubled. Especially Yingchen, who has been busy running around for several months ago..." The grandmother started to praise.
Father Lin, who was praised, also had a smile on his face, but with some respect and deference. "It's my duty as a son to work hard on my mother's birthday. Without my mother's protection, none of us brothers and sisters would be here today." After saying this, there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Hey, mother, what you said is too biased. Is it that only my eldest brother is busy and we have nothing to do?" An old man with a beard joked. Judging from his age, he should be Lin Yingchen's eldest brother.
"No time to rest, no time to rest. You are all exhausted for an old lady like me, especially the eldest brother." Grandma pointed at the man who had just spoken, "If you weren't so picky, Yingchen would have prepared it long ago."
As soon as the words came out, everyone present burst into laughter.
It seems that the relationship between the previous generation of the Lin family was pretty good.
Lin Zhihe subconsciously looked at Duke Chu and King Cheng. It was hard to say what would happen to their generation...
Oops, I accidentally made eye contact with King Cheng.
King Cheng not only did not avoid her gaze, but he kept staring at her with contempt.
Not only King Cheng, but her second sister also seemed to be looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, with her eyes wide open.
What the hell is going on with this couple?
Lin Zhihe could only look away awkwardly and focus his attention on the delicious food in front of him.
This dish is not only delicious, but also very delicately presented. It seems like something has been carved into a phoenix with its wings spread, as if it were real.
Judging from the pink texture, it should be a red radish.
She broke off the phoenix's wings, put them in her mouth and chewed them. Hmm, it was indeed a carrot.
"Grandma, look, the third girl is eating the radish mischievously!" Someone shouted at the grandmother, making everyone's attention focus on her again.
When the grandmother heard this, she looked at her and the smile on her face became even happier. She waved at her and said, "Why are you sitting so far away, my dear He'er? Come here, come here." As she spoke, she kept waving her hands to call her.
Can you sit not too far away? They are all princes and princesses, so she still has some self-awareness.
Facing everyone's gazes, Lin Zhihe walked slowly towards the main seat where his grandmother was sitting, and saw faces with different expressions.
The eldest sister smiled with delight in her eyes; the eldest sister's father didn't even look at her, but looked at the smiling eldest sister and started laughing too; there was something unnatural in the second sister's eyes, and she seemed very dissatisfied with her.
"Why is He'er eating a carrot in the corner?" Grandmother looked at her with pity, as if Lin Zhihe had suffered a great injustice by eating a carrot.
There is no need to spoil your child like this...
"I just saw that the phoenix was carved so lifelike that I wanted to try whether it was carved from radish," Lin Zhihe began to act cute, "It tastes pretty good."
This sentence made the grandmother laugh again. She raised her head and looked lovingly at Lin Zhihe who was standing there.
The moonlight was brilliant, pouring into the house.
Grandma looked up at the moon and slowly stood up. "After three rounds of drinking, those who want to drink can continue drinking. Those who don't want to drink can follow me to the Bi Ri Tower to enjoy the moon."
The male members of the family wanted the female members to talk to their grandmother in private, so most of them chose to stay at the table and continue drinking. Only Duke Chu followed Lin Zhifu and walked towards the Bi Ri Tower.
King Cheng looked at the Duke of Chu, and seemed not to want to be outdone by him, so he followed his second sister resentfully.
It is called the Bi Ri Tower because it is so tall that it seems to reach the clouds.
It’s very strange to say, their modern buildings are very tall, but they feel the moon is very far away, while the ancient buildings they traveled through are not tall, but they feel very close to the moon.
It was another full moon, and Lin Zhihe looked up at the jade plate in the sky.
It was another full moon, the same full moon that she had seen the day she traveled through time.
Lin Zhihe sighed subconsciously.
"Hey, sister, why are you sighing on such a great day for grandma?" The hairpin on the head of the second sister swayed as she spoke, and her face was very gentle.
What was she going to do? Lin Zhihe felt nervous.
"This building is so tall, He'er must be scared." The eldest sister began to smooth things over for her.
"That won't do. On this happy day, let's do this." Lin Zhiqiang pretended to be sensible and stretched out her delicate hand to hold her shoulders. It seemed that the sister was very affectionate. "Second sister will punish you to write a poem for grandma."
When they heard about writing poetry, everyone present was stunned and looked at Lin Zhihe awkwardly.
Judging from this, the original owner probably couldn't compose poetry.
"Why do you keep thinking of one thing after another? Why are you writing poems while enjoying the moon?" The eldest sister said in a serious tone, staring at Lin Zhiqiang.
“Shouldn’t we write poems when we enjoy the moon? How many famous poems and verses were written by ancient people while enjoying the moon?” Lin Zhiqiang objected again.
Just as grandma was about to speak, Lin Zhiqiang hurriedly spoke first, fearing that grandma would excuse her, "Besides, it's grandma's birthday. Can I write a poem for her to add some luck to her birthday?"
Moral kidnapping, pure moral kidnapping.
Now that things have come to this, Lin Zhihe can't say no.
Grandma still felt sorry for her, so she just smiled and said, "Then He'er, read a limerick to grandma."
The second sister looked like she was enjoying the show, she didn't even try to hide it, it was clearly shown on her face, she was determined to make her look bad.
He was so doting on her the last time they met, why did he start to make things difficult for her this time...
As for poetry, she has memorized quite a few famous quatrains, thanks to the great compulsory education.
However, at this moment, this is the only song that can touch her heart.
"The reeds in the water country are covered with frost at night, and the mountains are dark and blue under the cold moon.
Who says that from this evening onwards, we are thousands of miles away? The distance from my dream is as far as the long pass." She recited slowly.
As soon as the last note fell, everyone in the audience was stunned.
"The reeds in the water country are covered with frost at night, and the mountains are dark and grey under the cold moon." Grandmother repeated, "Well, my He'er wrote it very well, what a good poem!" After saying that, she stroked her soft hair lovingly.
"He'er has grown up and can write poetry now."
No one present expected that Lin Zhihe would blurt out such a poem. They savored it carefully and nodded.
Even the always picky King Cheng showed an expression of approval on his face, but it was fleeting.
The person with the worst complexion at this moment was Lin Zhiqiang, who looked surprised and ugly, and even her heavy makeup couldn't cover it up. She looked at Lin Zhihe with a sour face.
Perhaps she had not expected that she had wanted to play a trick on Lin Zhihe, but had never expected that she would become so prominent. Now she was anxious, angry and regretful.
"Oh! My sister is really different now. She used to make five mistakes out of ten words, but now she can even compose poems. She is really well prepared!" Lin Zhiqiang still didn't give up. She dragged out the sentence in a long and sarcastic tone.
"Why haven't I seen you so smart before?"
This means that she was prepared to cheat in advance!
Lin Zhihe looked at his right hand, wondering if his right hand could "accidentally" appear on Lin Zhiqiang's right face.
"It didn't work before because grandma didn't celebrate her birthday. Grandma is the panacea!" Lin Zhihe hugged her grandmother's arm and acted coquettishly in her arms.
