Rebirth of Yijia

Chapter 16

February 12th is Yijia's [-]th birthday.

She got up very early that day, and squatted beside the beauty's couch with Qiu Shuang Bailu, looking at the four-color beige of light yellow, light pink, emerald green, and scarlet on the couch, as well as the same color and pure white shirt with a stand-up collar. Zi's ​​pomegranate skirt, two white [-]-piece Xiang skirts embroidered in different colors, and the light yellow and light pink Liuxian skirt were in a daze.

This is for her birthday, the new clothes that Mrs. Song sent over last night, together with two sets of hair.

How could she have received such treatment in her previous life, since she moved to live in the small courtyard of the big lady in the East Mansion, no one remembered her birthday, let alone the new clothes and jewelry for her birthday.She herself also lost track of time due to the busy work of a maid day after day. It was not until she married into the Anping Hou Mansion that she celebrated her first birthday after the age of six.

Qiu Shuang swallowed her saliva enviously, and said softly, "Second Miss, are you still wearing a bright red beanie with a pomegranate skirt?"

Second Miss loves bright red the most. For many years in the past, she has worn it on her birthday every year.Although the other sets are also extremely beautiful this year, Qiushuang subconsciously feels that Yijia will still choose the bright red set.

Yijia didn't take her eyes off, and lightly stroked the pomegranate skirt, then moved to the white Xiang skirt embroidered with begonia petals, and then picked out an emerald green beanie and a white shirt with a stand-up collar.She smiled softly: "In spring, you should be a little bit more energetic, wear this suit!"

Bai Lu was a little surprised, but Qiu Shuang answered with a smile, "That's right, we can't be red every year, we should change it this year. Anyway, our second lady looks good, she looks good in any color she wears!"

In the past few days, Bai Lu and Xiao Yu have been watching her in secret, and Yijia saw that she really didn't want to send news to Dong Mansion, so when she recovered from her injury, she left her by her side to serve her.

After washing and changing into new clothes, she asked Bai Lu to pick out a pair of South Pearl earrings, a branch of cherry pink pearl flowers, and a pair of emerald green jade bracelets on her hands.Once dressed up, she is really sweet and fresh.

When Yijia arrived at Zhenyu Tower, Zhou Chengyan's Xiao Song family, including Zhou Yiwan, were all there.

Zhou Yiwan looked her up and down twice, pulled her skirt and was the first to admire: "Second sister is so well dressed today, just like spring!"

Zhou Chengyan looked at her and nodded with satisfaction, feeling quite a feeling of "I have a young girl in my family".Although Xiao Song was a little surprised that she didn't wear that bright red dress, but seeing her attire, she was also very happy to pull her to sit down quickly.

He also asked Yuqiu to bring the longevity noodles from the kitchen.

Yijia sat under Zhou Chengyan shyly, and asked curiously: "Today is not the day for Xiumu, why is father still at home at this hour?"

Zhou Chengyan smiled and said: "Today is your birthday, and I specially asked for a day off for my father. After breakfast, I will take you out for a walk. At noon, I will have lunch at Dexing Building. I have already booked the table. , when the time comes, I will celebrate your birthday with you, Uncle Liang, over there."

Zhou Yiwan heard this, and said to Xiao Song: "Mother, Wan'er is going out for a walk, and Wan'er is going to Dexing Building for lunch!"

Xiao Song took the noodle bowl from Yuqiu, put the Longevity Noodles in front of Yijia, and answered Zhou Yiwan's words with a smile, "If you want to go, you have to tell your father. Your mother can only agree if your father agrees." Turning to look at Yijia, "Come, have a bite of longevity noodles while it's hot, and ask the Buddha to bless you with health and longevity."

"Oh, thank you, auntie." Yijia thanked her with a smile, but her heart felt uneasy. Isn't it enough to give a gift and have dinner with Liang Mingzhi?
For his own birthday, it is fine for the whole family to celebrate it, why would he join in the fun as an outsider.

Yijia couldn't understand Liang Mingzhi more and more, but she instinctively didn't want to have too much to do with him.After eating a few mouthfuls of longevity noodles, I tentatively said to Zhou Chengyan, "Father, why don't you live at home this year. I'm already this old. If I go out and let people see it, it won't be so good."

"There's nothing wrong with that. No one would say anything to bring you out for father's sake." Zhou Chengyan said, "It's because you're getting older and you don't have many opportunities to go out in the future. It's your birthday today that your father wants to take you out to play, don't worry, even if your grandmother finds out, she won't say anything about you."

Yijia agreed sullenly, and couldn't find any reason to object for a while.

But after breakfast, Ran brought Zhou Yihan over before the group left the house.

As soon as Ran saw Yijia, she blamed him first: "Oh, why didn't you look for me today, kid? Today is your birthday, and my aunt ordered the kitchen to make longevity noodles for you early on. I ordered a poached egg, and I'm waiting for you to eat it!"

In the past, Xiao Song couldn't make it to Yijia's birthday.Although she would prepare longevity noodles for Yijia every year, Yijia always went to Dongfu early in the morning and didn't eat her bowl at all.

It was rare for Yijia not to pass today, so she forgot about it.When she saw Mrs. Ran come over, she felt apologetic unconsciously, squeezed the corner of her skirt, and said before Yijia said, "Sister-in-law, sit in the room." Then she greeted Zhou Yihan, "Come on, although it's spring , but it’s still a little cold in the morning and evening. Come in, don’t freeze.”

Zhou Yihan was very dissatisfied with this second aunt because of her ex-son Yijia's words, and she used to hear from Mrs. Ran that she was a lowly businessman's daughter, so she always looked down on her Second aunt's.Hearing this, he glanced at Mrs. Song, but did not answer.

Instead, he took out the handkerchief that he had prepared a long time ago and walked up to Yi Jia, saying: "Sister Jia, I don't have anything good to give you, so I made a handkerchief for you. Take a look, do you still like it?" After finishing speaking He ran back to Ran's side again, and took two copybooks from the woman behind her, "This is the copybook that Brother Xuan and Brother Qi gave you. They have gone to school, please ask me to give it to you together." here."

Zhou Xuan and Zhou Qi are the two sons of the Ran family.

Yijia took it over, thanked her, and when she heard Zhou Chengyan, she directly told Ran that she was going to take them out.

Ran's face showed hesitation when he heard this, and he paused before saying: "Second Brother, I'm here today because my mother told me that today is Jia'er's birthday, so I'm here to tell you, let's have dinner together at noon , it should be for Jia Er. But if you are going out, mother will not be happy if she finds out."

"In previous years, Jia'er's mother never cared about her birthday, why are they having dinner together this year?" Zhou Chengyan was a little surprised.

Ran's smile: "Isn't this the child growing up every day? I don't know how many more lives I can have at home. Let alone my mother, even I am very reluctant to part with Jia Er." The beautiful daughter next to her really felt a sense of reluctance.

Zhou Chengyan suddenly thought of what Liang Mingzhi told him in the wing room at Dongshan Temple that day.

Regardless of his friendship with Liang Mingzhi, the status of the Marquis of Anping and the second young master himself, he did not want his daughter to marry him.But Jiaer is already twelve, if there is a suitable family, it should be settled earlier.And after the marriage is settled, at most, they will have to get married after Jiji, which is not a few years.

He couldn't help but feel a little sad, and he didn't want to refute Mrs. Zhou, so he nodded and agreed: "Then please trouble sister-in-law."

He also called Mrs. Song to follow Mrs. Ran to help.

Yijia felt relieved at the thought that she didn't have to eat at the same table with Liang Mingzhi, although she didn't want to go to Dongfu either.

Ran's and Xiao Song's first went to Dongfu, Zhou Chengyan asked someone to deliver a letter to Liang Mingzhi, Zhou Yihan dragged Yijia, arguing to go to her residence to play for a while.

Zhou Yihan is very envious of Yijia, her yard is not only big, but also full of various flowers and plants; on the Duobaoge in her boudoir, a random gadget can be worth half of the price of the things in her room; and Those jewels in her jewelry box...

Zhou Yihan restrained the corners of her mouth from turning up. What she looked forward to most in a year was Yijia's birthday, because her second uncle and aunt would give her new jewelry every year, and Yijia's eyes were close to her, and she would often give her a piece of jewelry. Give her both.She was delighted to think that she could exchange a handkerchief for her favorite jewelry.

"Sister Jia, didn't Second Aunt make jewelry for you this year?" Zhou Yihan looked around Yijia's boudoir, and carefully looked at the dressing table three times, but he didn't see any new jewelry.

Yijia had already guessed what she wanted to do from her rolling eyes, and she panicked when she thought that so many things had been stolen from her in this life.She pointed to the top of her head and said, "I like wearing beaded flowers now, look at how pretty the cherry pink is." She didn't mention any new jewelry.

Zhou Yihan curled her lips in disappointment, and looked down at the jade bracelet on Yijia's wrist.

The jade bracelet is clear and clear, so it looks like a good thing.

She took Yijia's hand, "This jade bracelet is so beautiful! Is it given to you by the second uncle, can you lend it to me?"

The eldest lady always borrowed things from the second lady without repaying them. Qiushuang stared at the jade bracelet, but Bai Lu was worried that Yijia really gave it to the eldest lady.

She quickly ran to the door, and said loudly to the empty path outside: "Xiaoyu, are you here to find the second lady? Oh, it's Uncle Liang who is here, okay, okay, I'll pass it on for you!" After finishing speaking Then he ran in and hurriedly said: "Second, Second Miss..."

Yijia laughed. She originally planned to embarrass Zhou Yihan, but she held back when Bai Lu interrupted her.

It's my birthday today, so I don't want to make troubles that make me anxious.She stood up cooperatively and interrupted Bai Lu, "Uncle Liang Shi is here? He must have come to give me a birthday present, Bai Lu Qiushuang, you stay here with Big Sister, and I will take Xiao Yu to see Uncle Liang Shi."

With Bai Lu around, the eldest sister couldn't get anything she wanted, so she might as well go and talk to her father, so as to save the trouble of dealing with the eldest sister.Yijia smiled apologetically at Zhou Yihan and left the room.Xiao Yu was not in the yard at all, she left Bishuiju leisurely, and ran all the way to her father's study.

As soon as he went out the second door, he bumped into someone's arms suddenly.
