Chapter 118 Birthday Gift, a Gift to the Heart
As he was speaking, Shen Lin came back.
There was fallen snow on the black cloak, especially on the shoulders, which were covered with a layer of white.
It seemed that he had been walking in the snow for a long time.
Ye Qinghuan couldn't control his heartache.
Life was hard at the border, and it was still so hard back in Beijing? His perseverance is commendable.
In comparison, Shen Rong looked like a waste, looking weak.
Is it fun to blame your brother for your broken leg?
Knowing that he couldn't lead the troops, he still wanted to snatch away the Shen family army. Who gave him the courage?
Sven disaster!
"General." Ye Qinghuan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help him brush off the fallen snow on his body.
Su Jinxiu also stood up quickly: "Brother Lin."
"It's snowing, why are you here?" Shen Lin said with a gloomy face.
"Today is Madam's birthday, I came here to congratulate her." Su Jinxiu explained, and reminded, "Brother Lin, even though the family didn't hold a big celebration for Madam, you should also prepare a gift for her."
"Ready."
Shen Lin took out a rectangular wooden carved box from his sleeve.
very familiar.
Ye Qinghuan's eyes lit up: "General, what is this?"
"Open it and take a look." A smile appeared on Shen Lin's lips.
Although it was very faint, it was enough to break Su Jinxiu's heart into pieces.
Brother Lin actually remembered a woman's birthday? And even prepared a gift?
This is a treatment that neither she nor Zhou Niannian has ever had!
"The general has a good idea." Ye Qinghuan had already guessed what it was from the appearance.
Carved ivory fan!
On the day she gave the birthday gift to Concubine Yu, she said she liked it and jokingly mentioned the birthday gift. Unexpectedly, he actually remembered it!
"Madam, Brother Lin really cares about you. Open it and let us broaden our horizons." Su Jinxiu stared at the gift box, curious about what was in it.
Brother Lin is a general, stationed at the border all year round, and has a very rough temper. Even if he remembers his wife's birthday, giving her a gift is just a formality, and there will be no surprise.
Absolutely not!
Ye Qinghuan didn't want to open it at first, because it would hurt Su Jinxiu's heart. But she was eager to be sad, so she just let her be!
Open the wooden iron box and you will see an ivory fan. It is amazing even without unfolding it.
Although Su Jinxiu had not seen much of the world, she could tell that this was a good thing, and she began to feel sour in her heart.
When the fan was unfolded, Su Jinxiu felt even more heartbroken.
The thin fan bones are carved all over and cleverly connected with silk ribbons. When unfolded, it is a round fan, and when folded, it is so light that it can be put into the sleeve.
More importantly, this fan is the same model as the birthday gift that the General’s Mansion gave to Concubine Yu!
As everyone knows, Concubine Yu is the elder that Shen Lin respects the most. If Concubine Yu hadn't given a death order, Shen Lin would not have returned to Beijing to get married.
Now, has Brother Lin reached that point with Ye Qinghuan?
The more Su Jinxiu thought about it, the sadder she became. She was about to cry, and she quickly lowered her eyes to hide her tears.
She is no longer worthy of competing for favor.
She was just so sad...
"Thank you, General." Ye Qinghuan put away his fan. "General, have you had breakfast?"
"not yet."
"Then let the kitchen make another bowl of noodles!"
"it is good."
Shen Lin took Su Jinxiu's seat...
Su Jinxiu had no choice but to leave tactfully.
Ye Qinghuan said: "She came here to play, she didn't mean any harm, why did you chase her away?"
"I don't want to see her." Shen Lin ordered people to take away the dishes and chopsticks used by Su Jinxiu, and then he felt relieved. "In the future, don't let her come here too often."
"General, the day after tomorrow is Sister Su's birthday..."
"What does it have to do with me!"
Before Ye Qinghuan could finish her words, Shen Lin angrily interrupted her.
Ye Qinghuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not asking the general to send a gift, I'm just asking if we should do a big thing. After all, she is now a pregnant hero."
Shen Lin's expression finally eased: "You are the mistress, it's up to you. Anyway, I won't get involved."
"Okay, I'll ask my mother later."
"Ah."
Chunyan brought another bowl of longevity noodles. Shen Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and lowered his head to eat noodles.
Ye Qinghuan glared at Chunyan.
It was her who was celebrating the birthday, not Shen Lin.
Chunyan smiled and said, "General, Madam said that your last birthday was not a pleasant one, so today we invite you to eat longevity noodles together."
Ye Qinghuan was speechless.
When did she say that?
"Very good." Shen Lin's angular face showed a big smile, "From now on, I will eat longevity noodles with you on your birthday every year."
What could Ye Qinghuan say? He could only agree.
"it is good."
The fine snow was flying, and the silver charcoal made the room warm.
Shen Lin ate noodles with big mouthfuls, and Ye Qinghuan watched with a smile. This scene was a perfect example of the loving relationship between a couple.
"General, how many ivory carved fans do you have left?" Ye Qinghuan joked.
"There are only two in the world. It took Old Qin ten years to carve them. Old Qin wanted to keep this last one as a family heirloom. I spent half a night grinding on him before he sold it to me." Shen Lin took a big sip of the noodle soup. "It's delicious. It warms my stomach."
Ye Qinghuan couldn't imagine that the general who was galloping on the sand was like a leper, pestering an old man and not letting him sleep.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "The general is so bad."
"As long as you like it." Shen Lin didn't care about that. He put down the bowl and burped.
Then I realized that this was indecent.
Will she dislike it?
Shen Lin felt anxious and looked at Ye Qinghuan.
"General, you must eat more when you are at the border. Try to eat on time." Ye Qinghuan just felt distressed.
A bowl of hot noodle soup can make him so satisfied. How many hard days must he have endured at the border?
Since Shen Rong came back, everyone felt sorry for Shen Rong's suffering in the northern border. Who would have thought that Shen Lin was suffering even more at the border?
No matter how hard Shen Rong's life was, he still enjoyed the treatment of a nobleman.
Shen Lin is truly living on the edge of a knife!
"Don't you think I'm vulgar?" Shen Lin asked.
"If there is no war in the world, the general can also learn literature and painting. Why does he need to wield guns and sticks?" Ye Qinghuan asked back.
Shen Lin felt as if the sun was warm in his heart, and he subconsciously grabbed her hand: "You are really good."
His palms were covered with calluses from years of using weapons, which made the backs of her hands itchy.
All the way, it itches to the heart.
As they sat opposite each other, Shen Lin finally noticed the pearl necklace on Ye Qinghuan's neck: "Nice pearls, are they from your dowry?"
"It was given by Sister Su."
"She can afford such expensive things?" Shen Lin was stunned.
This grade of pearls can only be used by royal nobles. Su Jinxiu is just a concubine of a general's mansion... Did she take the general's mansion's money?
"Sister Su was sold cheaply by a southern pearl merchant for only a few hundred taels of silver."
"oh oh!"
Only then did Shen Lin dispel his doubts.
"General, you didn't sleep last night. Go and catch up on your sleep! I'm leaving the palace for a while."
"Shall I accompany you?"
"No, I'll be back in two hours."
Ye Qinghuan took the opportunity to retract his hand.
Shen Lin was indeed sleepy, so he went to his room to rest.
After Ye Qinghuan finished dressing, she took a carriage to Cuibaoxuan.
The sale of large quantities of fine pearls at low prices would certainly attract a great deal of attention, and there would be many people who would use pearls to curry favor with the rich and powerful.
She wanted to see who was stirring up Shengjing's jewelry circle with pearls.
Could it be that Ye Qinglan is causing trouble?
