God Bow War Concubine

Chapter 6 Birthday Gifts
What Nalan Rongjin held in his hand was a wood carving, purple-red in color, that carved a big tree embracing a peony flower with its branches. The big tree had luxuriant branches and the peony flower was about to bloom.

She has had nine such carvings, and this is her tenth.

She has never had a birthday since she was born, so almost no one knows that today is her birthday.

The family members forgot on purpose. It can be said that they remembered but they couldn't pass it on to her.

The reason is very simple. When she was born, a vision appeared, and the national teacher of the Nine Serenity Empire came to Jinwang Mansion in person. After seeing her at that time, the national teacher only said one sentence, not to celebrate her birthday until she was old.

He didn't say the reason, but no one would dare not believe the words of the National Teacher of Jiuyou Empire. After all, the National Teacher of the Jiuyou Empire is a very mysterious figure.

Therefore, Jin Wang and his wife, who love their daughter like their own destiny, don't even dare to ask for her daughter's birthday, let alone her full moon wine, let alone the annual birthday, which is ignored.

Although it was not her birthday, on that day, her three meals were very rich, all of which she liked. She understood that it was her parents telling her in disguise that they hadn't forgotten her birthday and celebrated her birthday in another way.

Therefore, she has never received a birthday gift, although her parents and uncle will give her many gifts once the birthday is over.

But since her third birthday, every year on her birthday, she would find such a carving on her dressing table. At the beginning, the carving technique was very blunt, the carving traces were very clear, and the finished product was not very good-looking.Later, the technique became more and more skillful.

Although the sculptures are all the same object, there are differences. The tree was a small sapling at the beginning, and then it grew a little bit year by year, and the peony flower slowly grew from a small flower bud to now blooming. look.

There are subtle changes every year, and this subtle change is like she grows up a little bit, giving her surprise and warmth on her birthday every year.

She has never seen the person who gave the gift, but she knows who gave it, because the carved object has the scent of the other party, and she is very sensitive to the scent of people, as long as she encounters it, she will almost never forget it.

Sitting down in front of the dressing table, with a wave of a slender hand, ten carved objects were placed on the dressing table, in order from the one received in the first year to the one received today.

It's just that the first nine are colored. She took out the paint and the thinnest pen, dipped in the paint, and then colored today's carving.

These pigments are extracted by herself using the oldest techniques. Such pigments are not only more realistic, but will not fade as long as they are dyed.

The green leaves are dyed one by one, and the color of the red peony is from deep to light, as vivid as blooming on the branches.

After the color was applied, Nalan Rongjin's beautiful face had a gentle smile that outsiders could not see. The carving technique became more and more exquisite, and her dyeing skills became more and more handy.

She was lying on the dressing table, waiting for the dye to dry, her slender and beautiful fingers were lighting the nine carvings one by one, her small mouth was still chanting, her voice was so low that only she could hear it .

At this time, sitting on the wall of the courtyard was a young man wearing a tea-white brocade robe, his previously icy expression was now extremely gentle.

Looking through the window at the imageless girl lying on the dressing table, her tender phoenix eyes were fixed on her small mouth.The distance was too far to hear what she was saying, but he could read her words through the shape of her lips. The more he listened, the more handsome his face became, but he couldn't bear to look away.

It wasn't until the paint was dry that Nalan Rongjin put away all ten sculptures, and the boy on the wall reluctantly left.

Yun Ting's consciousness was also taken back from his niece's yard, and he felt very helpless, this kid's patience is really extraordinary, it is like this every year.

Nalan Rongjin put away the carvings, turned around in a good mood and went to the yard where his younger brother lived.

She went directly to the study, and sure enough, her brother was nestled in the study as usual.

In the study room, there is a wooden floor specially built for my younger brother, with a whole carpet on it, even if I sleep on it, I won’t catch cold.There is a long table on it, with a stack of books, tea cups, snacks, and fruits on the table.

At a glance, Nalan Rongjin saw his younger brother Rong He sitting cross-legged behind the table, practicing with his eyes closed, his small figure exuded indescribable determination.

There was an open book on the table in front of him.

Nalan Rongjin walked in gently and sat down opposite his younger brother.

Nalan Ronghe slowly opened his eyes, first glanced at her cultivation, then his eyes dimmed, "Sister, are you in a good mood today?"

This cultivation base is the same as before, which means that my sister has failed again this time, and she is still in such a good mood after failing, which makes him very puzzled.

Only King Jin and Yun Ting knew that Nalan Rongjin would receive engraving gifts on his birthday every year because of their high cultivation level, and nothing in King Jin's Mansion and Taohua City Lord's Mansion could escape his divine sense.Nalan Ronghe's cultivation base is low, so naturally he can't know, Nalan Rongjin's mouth is very strict, and he has never told anyone.

"Well, after lunch with uncle, we will leave Peach Blossom City." Nalan Rongjin looked at his younger brother tenderly.

Every time she sees her younger brother's body, she hates those people in King Jin's mansion who eat inside and out.

When the younger brother was born, although the father protected the mother very closely, he still failed to guard against house thieves and was poisoned, so that the younger brother has been in poor health since he was born.

Although this person was caught and dealt with by his father, the methods were very cruel, but he couldn't get back his younger brother's good health.

My younger brother is 11 years old this year, and it has been 11 years. My parents have tried their best, and they have hired all the famous doctors in the world, but they have not healed my younger brother.

My younger brother's talent is no worse than hers, but due to physical reasons, he didn't awaken his human soul until he was five years old. Although he was at the third level of human soul upon awakening, it was far from his actual talent.But it is much better than her, at least her cultivation is improving, she is much higher than her, and now she is already at the eighth level of human soul, but outsiders don't know that the sick son of King Jin's mansion has such a high cultivation.

Nalan Rongjin has put his younger brother in his hands and doted on him since he was a child, and the relationship between the siblings is very good.

Fortunately, the education methods of parents are very open-minded, coupled with her unruly elder sister, Nalan Ronghe is always sick, but his mentality is still very tough.

The rumors and gossips about their siblings in the imperial city can be used as jokes, because they both know what the truth is, and they are fearless.

Nalan Ronghe was taken aback, and the little man's tone suddenly turned cold, "Those people are coming again?"

"We have to go if they come or not. That's what my sister originally planned." Nalan Rongjin took the book in front of him and looked at it, and said naturally.

"Where are you going?" Nalan Ronghe looked at his sister who looked calm and asked.

A year ago, his parents had an accident, and his sister took him out of Jinwang Mansion in the imperial city to come to his uncle in Taohuacheng on the same day, and he was about to leave after only a year of living, and so suddenly.

Although the elder sister said it easily, he knew that there must be something that made the elder sister have to take him away, and it should be more because of him.

Nalan Rongjin closed the book and tapped his forehead lightly with the book, "Don't be so mature at such a young age. With my sister here, you don't have to worry about anything."

Nalan Ronghe glanced at her speechlessly, "It's like how old you are, maybe two years older than me."

"One day old is still big, let alone two years old." Nalan Rongjin lay on the table, stretched out his hands and pinched his brother's fleshless cheeks with a smile.
