girl riding a horse

Chapter 52

Xie Yuan pressed the saber at his waist, and his back was straight.The scene of her mother asking her to wear women's clothes to learn the rules flashed in her mind, raised her chin, narrowed Danfeng's eyes, and said:
"Happy, this birthday is the happiest one."

"Isn't your birthday too early?" Guan Yifei finally asked.

Shen Liuzhen smiled and said, "It's not...to raise money, A Yuan asked the teacher to take the birthday party as an excuse, and the convener donated. So it was done in advance."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Guan Yifei, "My birthday is coming soon, and I'm a few months younger than her."

Guan Yifei was a little moved, but also a little guilty. After all, these two children were so much younger than him.And he has always been the big brother and parent of the street children.

So he looked down at the children who were holding him, and said, "How can the birthday celebration not be lively?... Go and call all the big guys over, someone is going to have a birthday."

As soon as his words fell, the children around jumped up happily and ran to pass the message excitedly.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen were a little surprised when they saw the strange excitement of the children.Xie Yuan asked:

"Why are they so happy?"

"How do you celebrate your first birthday?" Guan Yifei asked with a smile.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen looked at each other.

Shen Liuzhen said: "My father is a general, and he is not at home all the year round." He paused, his face showed a little regret, and added, "...Besides, my birthday is not very good, and I have hardly passed it. My teachers and my wife have helped me through the years."

It was only then that Guan Yifei remembered that Shen Liuzhen once said that her mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to him, and her birthday was her mother's death day... It really can't be said.

Xie Yuan sighed and said: "There is nothing wrong with my family's birthday. I usually choose that day. My mother will make me a girl's clothes, and then I will make some of my favorite food. After dinner, I will treat my father to a serious meal." Discipline. What did you say that you are one year older, you should pay attention to your words and deeds in the future, and don't embarrass the Xie family..."

Guan Yifei was stunned when he heard "a girl's clothes", and asked:
"Is it so strange for a big family to celebrate their birthday? What's the point of making a girl's clothes for a son?"

Xie Yuan frowned. She was already unhappy about this matter, so she didn't know what to say.

Shen Liuzhen couldn't answer and was in a dilemma. Guan Yifei suddenly realized:

"I see... I heard that some noble families will deliberately try to deceive God and give the child a cheap name in order to support the child. Your parents probably want you to pretend to be a girl to fool you, right? "

Xie Yuan looked at Guan Yifei's excited expression in surprise, and was also confused for a moment. She looked at Shen Liuzhen and stammered and asked:
"Is... is it because of this?"

Shen Liuzhen thought about it seriously with his sleeves in his hands, and said, "This reason... also makes sense."

At this moment, all the children ran back, gathered excitedly around Guan Yifei, and asked, "Brother Guan, whose birthday is today? I'm not prepared."

"You don't need to prepare, just show the performances you were good at before, and Xie Langjun hasn't seen them, so you can do whatever you want." Guan Yifei said.

"Oh~ oh~ that's good too." The children began to cheer.

"So it's Brother Xie's birthday... Brother Xie, I'll make you what your favorite food is." A five-year-old boy with messy hair bit his finger and looked at Xie Yuan with bright eyes, with a very serious expression.

Shen Liuzhen felt that the scene was a little out of control, he subconsciously leaned against Xie Yuan, and said with a smile:
"She likes eating persimmons best."

Xie Yuan widened his eyes, looked at the child, and asked, "Can you cook at such a young age?"

The five-year-old grinned embarrassedly, seemed a little blushing, and ran away without saying anything.

Guan Yifei smiled and said, "Xunya doesn't know how to cook. What she's talking about is something else... If you like persimmons, you really can't get them at this time of year, so she's the only one who can help."

As he spoke, he waved to the children surrounding him and said loudly, "Old rules, old rules... form a circle and take out all the good things you have."

When the children heard this, they cheered and sat down on the spot, even Guan Yifei sat down, leaving only Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen standing there at a loss.

"Come on, since your two birthdays are so close, let's go together. Birthday come first, and give a show to everyone." Guan Yifei sat on the ground and waved to Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen.

Xie Yuan was dumbfounded... Performing a show?She has only watched other people act, but when has she acted before, or did she act for others on her birthday?

"I won't." Xie Yuan said.

Shen Liuzhen was also a little confused, but he was used to being a "good guy", so in order not to embarrass the scene, he took Xie Yuan's arm and walked into the arena, and said with a smile: "I don't know anything, so what should I do. "

"Nonsense, no matter what, you guys know more than we do, just show whatever you want... Hurry up and stop haggling, everyone is waiting to see." Guan Yifei raised his head, his deep eyebrows frowned, Laughing and urging her.

Usually she is the one who talks about other people's ink, this is the first time someone said about her ink, so she took a step forward, pulled out the saber in her hand, swished the sword flower, and said:
"Then dance with a sword."

Immediately, one turned around and rushed out from Shen Liuzhen's side, and another jumped up in the air like an eagle spreading its wings and settled down. After landing, there was a phantom of sword light, like a dragon swimming, as graceful as a frightened bird.

Shen Liuzhen stood in the middle of the field, surrounded by children sitting around. There was endless applause and applause, but he felt quiet, as if only Xie Yuan's tall figure was jumping in his eyes.Every move seemed to slow down, and in his world it became the most unruly and unrestrained calligraphy on paper, which touched people's hearts.

He likes watching her practice martial arts, which is his favorite thing besides reading.

"Hey... It's your turn, Lord Shen." Guan Yifei said loudly.

Shen Liuzhen woke up from the illusion, only to realize that Xie Yuan had finished dancing at some point, received a round of warm applause, sheathed his sword, and walked towards him.

The unconscious smile on his face deepened again, the dimples were obvious, but it was no more genuine than the smile just now, and he said to everyone:
"What can I do, I can do it... I play the piano pretty well."

Everyone's eyes widened...

Xie Yuan said neatly: "There is no piano now, you can change it, and tell us a story you have read."

After finishing speaking, he walked directly to the side and sat down with those children, just like them, looking up at him expectantly.

"Okay, okay... Tell a story, tell a story." Seeing that he was hesitating, the children applauded enthusiastically.

Shen Liuzhen took another two steps to the middle, thinking while walking, and when he got to the middle, he raised his arms and cupped his hands, and performed a standard Confucian etiquette to everyone, closed his wide sleeves in front of him, and said: "Then let me tell you one thing, I'm making a fool of myself..."

Where have the children seen this kind of style, they all burst into laughter in novelty, and some even shouted happily:
"Quick offer, quick offer..."

Xie Yuan was amused by the conversation, and sat in the crowd, laughing "hahaha" with his Danfeng eyes bent.
