Crown Jewels

Chapter 27 Yue Yi's Birthday

It was dusk when the carriage stopped at the gate of the Song Mansion.

Chen Ping, who had been guarding the door early, hurried forward, took the burden from Song Yan's hands, and said with a beaming smile:
"The eldest son is back."

"Second Miss and the younger one have talked about you several times, Young Master, and now they are celebrating the birthday in the old lady's birthday hall."

Song Yan nodded when he heard the words, and walked towards Shou'an Hall without stopping.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Song Yan heard the old lady laughing and mouthing her daughter.

It's so affectionate!

Opening the bead curtain, I saw Song Leyi nestled in her grandmother's arms, acting coquettishly without any image.

Seeing Song Leyi's appearance, Song Yan shook his head.

He was always worried that if he went to Huangu Academy by himself, no one would take care of that ghost girl, she might be spoiled by his grandmother.

"Brother Yan is back!"

"Come on! Come on! Let Grandmother have a good time."

The old lady turned her attention away from Song Leyi when she saw her grandson at the door.

When Song Yan came close, the old lady looked Song Yan up and down lovingly, muttering a few words from time to time.

"Is Zhuangzi still used to living here?"

"Have you made any friends in the Academy?"

"Have you ever listened to Mr.?"

Such words, although a bit nagging, made Song Yan feel warm when he heard them.

Seeing the visitor's eyes light up, Song Leyi rushed to Song Yan's side, and a soft voice sounded, full of excitement:

"Brother, do you remember what a good day it is today?"

Meeting the girl's bright eyes, Song Yan moved his eyes lightly, scanning the half-eaten birthday noodles on the table, feeling amused in his heart.

Seeing the girl's expectant look, she couldn't help but want to tease him.

Song Yan pretended to be contemplative for a while, hissed lightly, and then suddenly said:
"Today—"

"Of course it's a good day for your brother and me to go home!"

The eyes looking at the little girl gradually became dim because of his words.

Fenfen's lips were pursed, revealing a bit of disappointment and grievance.

Song Yan shook his head lightly, and quickly pulled out four bulging red seals from the little girl's sleeves.

Holding that thickness in Song Yan's hands made him a little jealous.

This is the spoils of the little girl's birthday ceremony tonight.

so much!
Sure enough, he wasn't his own.

The next moment, as soon as Song Yan raised his eyelids, he saw the little girl staring at him angrily.

That posture was like a wolf cub protecting food, wishing he could pounce on him and snatch back what belonged to her.

Amidst her grandmother's disapproving voice, Song Leyi finally took back her red envelope.

With a soft breath, Song Leyi quietly handed the red seal to the maid beside her, and asked her to hide it in her dowry box.

After a while, Song's father and stepmother Sun also came.

Several people had a reunion dinner in Shou'an Hall.

It was getting late, and they dispersed one after another.

"Ninny, how about staying with grandma tonight, huh?"

The old lady looked at the girl's face with baby fat, and she just felt happy.

Song Leyi shook the old lady's arm and said coquettishly:

"Grandma, I know you love Leyi—"

"but……"

Pursing her pink lips, Song Leyi hesitated.

Song Leyi's mother Fu Shi died of dystocia when giving birth to her, so the little girl was not accompanied by her biological mother since she was a child.

This is also the reason why the family just got together briefly on her birthday.

Because her birthday was also the anniversary of the death of her biological mother Fu!

Looking at Song Yan who was standing at the door, Song Leyi made a quick decision.

"grandmother--"

"Tonight, I want to go to Nuanxiangju, and I can also accompany my mother."

Although her biological mother Fu was not by her side, Song Leyi always admired and was grateful for her.

Her grandmother loved her, her brother took care of her, and even her uncle did not blame herself for her mother's dystocia.

All in all, she can feel all the love!
Song Leyi knew that there was a shadow of her mother in all of them.

The girl's voice was soft and waxy, but her demeanor was extremely serious and pleaded.

The old lady felt soft in her heart, sighed lightly, nodded, and gave another warning.

"In this case--"

"Brother Yan, you finally came back, go see your mother too, and accompany Nannan on the road for me by the way."

Song Yan nodded lightly, he had exactly the same intention.

The bright moonlight contrasts with the lamps in the world, illuminating the darkness ahead.

The evening breeze is cool, Song Yan brothers and sisters came to Nuanxiangju.

The house was brightly lit, and someone had already hung lamps in the courtyard.

Song Leyi walked halfway, and suddenly stopped in front of Song Yan.

I saw her spread her white and tender hands in front of Song Yan, raised her small face, as if you could figure it out.

"You want a present?"

Song Yan hissed softly, his eyes fell on the baby fat girl's face, and his tone was careless.

"You don't really forget, do you?"

"How can it be!"

Looking at Song Leyi suspiciously, Song Yan denied it.

I saw him reaching into his sleeve, pretending to turn over for a long time, and before the girl's patience gradually faded away, he finally spread his palm.

Song Leyi looked at what was delivered to her, just now!There was also a grain that appeared on the grandmother's table!Fruit candy!
Qiong's nose wrinkled slightly, she said in disbelief: "That's it?"

"Why not?"

Song Yan said it as a matter of course, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, and he didn't feel that the gift was shabby.

Song Leyi closed her eyes, stomped her feet angrily, and called her name angrily: "Song Yan——"

He didn't even call his brother anymore!

Song Yan had a smile on his face, and took the time to poke the girl's chubby cheek, and said in a serious manner:

"Little thing, who are you calling, it doesn't matter if it's big or small!"

Taking a deep breath, Song Leyi managed to calm down a bit, with aggrieved face, looked at him for a while and said with disgust:

"Brother, I didn't say you!"

"If you pick like this, you will die alone in the future!"

After saying this, Song Leyi was still angry, she glanced at Song Yan speechlessly and complained softly:

"Zheng Niang's birthday! His brother found her a two-month-old Persian cat."

"Green Bamboo's birthday, Chen Ping lined up for an hour! I brought her red bean cakes from Mrs. Li's house."

"And for my birthday, my brother gave me a fruit candy that no one else wanted!!"

Meeting the girl's accusing eyes, Song Yan snorted coldly, tossing the fruit candy in his hand, and didn't seem to buy it.

After a long while, it was finally cool and dismantled.

"Chen Ping bought red bean cakes because he was also hungry."

"If I give you a Persian cat, you might get rashes all over your body, and you won't be able to get out of bed for three months."

Seeing that the girl was still pursing her lips, unwilling to talk to him, Song Yan gritted his teeth, and simply didn't bother to tease her.

"The things are on mother's bed, take them yourself!"

As soon as the words fell, Song Leyi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ignoring Song Yan, she carried her skirt and ran directly to the bedroom.

Seeing her struggling to open the door with a clumsy look, Song Yan couldn't hold back a laugh from his throat, and cursed in a low voice.

"A heartless little thing."

Ignoring Song Leyi, Song Yan stepped into the main room where his mother used to live, his body relaxed and his eyes turned slightly bright.
