Chapter 188 Birthday
Chapter 188 Birthday
After drinking the porridge, he felt a little stronger and said to the medicine Su Yun brought:
"Keep it warm first. Help me go to Yu Yan's room. I'll go see how she is."
This medicine makes you sleepy after taking it. Once you fall asleep, you won’t know what time it is when you wake up next time.
Su Yun understood the lady's worries, so she took a thick robe and wrapped Huanxi like a dumpling before helping her over.
Yu Yan's room had been cleaned and tidy, unlike the messy one that night.
She lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed, her face pale as she looked asleep.
Beautiful women are always coveted, but beauty is not a sin. It is those who want to obtain beauty by any means that are guilty.
She sat on the edge of the bed, took Yu Yan's hand and felt her pulse.
Fortunately... there is a beating...
It's not like that day when I pressed it and nothing happened...
Feeling the movement, Yu Yan slowly opened her eyes, looked at Huan Xi, who looked haggard, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Happy... Thank you for saving my life..."
Although she didn't open her eyes, the pine and cypress scent on Huanxi's body could not deceive her. It was the antidote that Huanxi found and fed into her mouth.
When she fell into the void, she could feel the sounds and touches of the outside world. She could feel the anxiety of joy and hear the crying of joy.
At that moment, she finally understood why everyone liked her.
It's not because of her looks or her personality.
It’s because Huanxi’s soul is too pure and kind. Even though she made such a big mistake, he is still willing to forgive her. Such a woman...how can she not be attractive?
After her death, she has completed her mission to the Yu family. The guilt will not disappear but will always exist.
But... she wanted to live for herself.
Her life was given to her by Huanxi. From then on, no one except Huanxi could enter her heart.
"Yan Yan, are you still feeling bad? You don't know, you really want to scare me to death."
Yu Yan smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. An immortal saved me. I'm going to erect a monument to immortality and pray to that immortal every night for a long life."
Huanxi felt a little embarrassed, she understood. Yuyan already knew that it was her who saved her life.
He just didn't say it explicitly, probably because he knew that he didn't want others to know.
"You, just take care of yourself, don't worry about what others do."
Yu Yan smiled without saying a word. She took Huan Xi's hand and held it tightly. Her silence seemed to speak a thousand words.
The days passed quickly, and on the eighteenth day of the winter month, Huanxi had completely recovered, and the last bit of discomfort in her body had disappeared completely.
Today is her birthday, and according to modern age, she is already thirty-three years old.
But in ancient times, she had just turned twenty.
The children don’t have classes recently, so they either practice calligraphy or find books to read. In short, they have no free time.
Early this morning, the children ran up to Huanxi with smiles on their faces, hiding something behind their hands.
Even Meixiang joined in the laughter and hid the things behind them.
"What are you hiding? Let me see it."
"Hehe, it's mom's birthday today. I made this with my sisters. Mom, please don't dislike it." Xiao Pan took the lead and said with a smile.
"Oh? Then I'm curious. The things made by these four little golden flowers must be the best."
Xiao Yin couldn't help but brought the thing behind him to the front. When he looked at it happily, it was a painting.
The woman in the painting is gentle and dignified. She wears a green dress, a bun on her hair, and a gold hairpin. She has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and is smiling as she looks at the people outside the painting.
There were some words on the corner. Huanxi took a closer look and found that they were blessings written by four girls.
Huanxi felt warm inside. This painting was 80% similar to hers. It seemed that the children had put a lot of thought into it.
"Wow... did you guys draw this? It's so beautiful... I want to frame it and hang it above my bed to admire it every day."
"Mom~ My sisters and I drew this together. May you stay young and healthy forever~" Xiao Nian's auspicious words made Huanxi very happy.
"Hahaha, if mother really could stay young forever, wouldn't she become a monster?"
"Even if my aunt is a monster, we still like her~"
"Okay, okay, since I have girls as sensible as you, I'll be a monster and eat you all~"
The lively banter among the few people dispelled some of the cold winter air. Even Su Yun, who was far away, was infected by the atmosphere and watched with a smile.
In the evening, he even invited the entire Lu family to come over for dinner. He lit several large braziers at home, and the room was so warm that he didn't feel cold at all.
Yu Yan was able to walk again, wrapped in a thick cloak and warming his hands by the fire.
If you ignore her face, she looks just like any other woman in the village.
"Sister Huanxi! I'm not too late, am I?"
Hongying's voice was heard at the door. Huanxi ran to the door and found that there was an unexpected person following her.
"Ah, Captain Pang, nice to meet you. You've come all this way, and my humble home is truly an honor. Come in, it's cold outside. Yuanzhen! Bring us some tea!"
"Miss Zhao, my daughter always says that the food at your home is delicious, so I shamelessly come here to bother you. Please don't mind, Miss Zhao."
"Captain Escort, that's not right. You are the elder and you are here to show respect to me, a junior. Don't say that again."
When they brought the two into the reception room, Old Master Lu and his companions had never seen such an extraordinary person before, so they hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Oh, brother, I can't do that. My daughter Hongying always comes here and thanks you and your family for taking care of her. How can I accept such a generous gift? I'm the head of the Pangshi Escort Agency in town. If you don't mind, just call me Zhizhou."
"That's not right, Captain. Miss Hongying is extremely intelligent. It's my daughter Huanxi who is under her care. You are too polite, Captain."
Several people exchanged pleasantries with each other, saying them one after another as if they were free.
It was Pang Biaotou who started talking about the things in the fields. Although the farmers didn't know much about other things, they knew this area like the back of their hands. After a while, they gradually became familiar with it and were no longer as reserved as they were at the beginning.
Only then did Huanxi learn of Pang Biaotou's name. Pang Zhizhou. It sounded rather nice...
Zi Dieyi, who was standing by, had her pupils tremble when she heard the name, and she began to silently look at the bearded man.
"Hongying, you're here now...why did you bring so many things?"
"This is a gift from my father... You know, it's his first time here, so it's not good to come empty-handed. Just follow his wishes and accept it all."
Having said that, these boxes are filled with nothing but cloth and jewelry. They are too valuable. How can I afford to return them...
But something in a corner piqued her interest.
"Hehe, I knew you would like this gift, Sister Huanxi. This is my birthday present for you. See if you like it."
I opened it happily and found various seeds separated in cloth bags inside.
She looked carefully and found that these were... tomato seeds... cucumber seeds, and some other seeds she didn't know what they were. She would only know after planting them.
To her, this thing is much more valuable than those cloths and jewelry. With these, her farm house will have more chips to soar.
"Hongying, this really hits my heart."
