Chapter 470 The First Time To Celebrate My Birthday Seriously

It is very common for modern young people to hold a birthday party and invite a bunch of friends to celebrate and have fun together.But in the Tang Dynasty, the custom of celebrating birthdays was limited to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Central Plains area was very repulsed by it.

Before the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, there were no birthday celebrations. The "Poetry" says "mourning my parents, and giving birth to me." Yang Jian asked the whole world to eat vegetarian on his birthday to remember his parents.Li Shimin has the same idea as Yang Jian, and he doesn't hold birthday celebrations either.

But in Yan County, at the beginning of this year, Lin Wanwan won the title of Township Monarch, and after resuming walking with those relatives of the Lin family, she has attended several birthday parties.

It can be seen that there is still a big gap between the customs in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains.

With the emergence of the great unification and frequent cultural exchanges between the north and the south, this custom of celebrating birthdays will gradually spread from the south of the Yangtze River to the whole of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's descendants, such as Li Longji, not only held birthday celebrations, but even created a festival for their own birthday called "Qianqiu Festival".

Lin Wanwan follows the customs of the south of the Yangtze River, so naturally she also has a birthday party, so that everyone has a reason to party and revel.

Xiaoxi Town was chosen as the venue for her birthday party, mainly for the convenience of the group of nobles who came and went with her.

After all, it was a long way to go to Linjiazhuang, a remote place in the Wanghai countryside, and the carriages and horses were very slow, so the nobles didn't like it very much.

But Lin Wanwan didn't forget about the people in Linjiazhuang, and ordered Sun Heyao to go back to Linjiazhuang to hold a banquet, and invite the whole family to have a feast and have fun together.

On Lin Wanwan's birthday, as soon as Xiao Qingyu opened her eyes, she turned her head and hugged Lin Wanwan's neck and asked, "Mother, do I not need to study today?"

Lin Wanwan wasn't fully awake yet, she closed her eyes and laughed, "Well, I won't study today."

"Oh oh oh! It's great!" Xiao Qingyu happily arched her head around Lin Wanwan's neck, then leaned over her small face, and kissed Lin Wanwan's unwashed face.

"Mother, I'm going to show Man Ting and the others my little Miaomiao today, and they really want to see it." Little Qingyu couldn't sleep anymore and was about to turn over soon.

The little guy always stays in bed when he has to go to school, and refuses to get up after three reminders. He closes his eyes and lets the maids take care of dressing.But as long as it's the day of rest and bathing, he gets up earlier than the chicken.

Today, there is a birthday banquet at home, and many guests are coming, so Xiao Qingyu is naturally more excited.

Lin Wanwan, who originally wanted to stay in bed for a while, was so disturbed by Xiao Qingyu that she lost sleepiness, so she simply got up and let Hongyan and others take care of her.

Lin Wanwan usually doesn't like to wear cumbersome headgear and hair accessories, they are too heavy, and her scalp is tense.But today's birthday party, she naturally had to dress up to attend.

But Lin Wanwan still didn't want to make it too complicated, so she ordered Hongyan to make a Lingyun bun, and then put on the super heavy-duty dragon ball hair crown worth tens of thousands of gold, which would be graceful and luxurious enough.

This hair crown is inlaid with countless pearls and precious stones, the most precious one is the orange dragon ball like a flame.

In the modern auction house of Hong Kong Island, there was a dragon ball weighing about 20 grams, which was sold for 270 million US dollars, setting a world record for the transaction of a single pearl.

Because the amount of dragon balls in the world is too rare, there are even fewer that can be made into jewelry with perfect appearance, and there may be more than 200 pieces in the world, so there is no mature price system like other jewelry. Generally, the selling price depends on the collection. What price does the buyer offer.

Lin Wanwan is not short of money now, so naturally she didn't think about selling the two rare dragon balls, which represented Xiao Qingyu's good luck!
She invited Zhu Baotian, a retired court goldsmith from Zhu's Jinlou, to create two hair crowns, one large and one small, and she happened to have a parent-child look with Xiao Qingyu today.

If you have a daughter, you can dress up every day and go out in parent-child outfits. It's not too cool.

The dress that Lin Wanwan chose today also matched the hair crown. It was a boutique from the Embroidery Workshop. It was a one-piece beige chest-length skirt, and a dark coat with a straight collar and large sleeves, with peony embroidery on it, giving it an elegant and extravagant look.

Hongyan's hands are the most skillful, and the hairstyle she made is very popular with Lin Wanwan.

The Lingyun bun was quickly combed by her hands, and when she put on the gorgeous dragon ball hair crown as an embellishment, Lin Wanwan immediately became as immortal as the Nine Heavens Profound Girl.

Xiao Qingyu's eyes became hot, and she kept yelling that she should wear the same hairstyle and wear the same clothes as her mother.

"Okay, okay, our little Qingyu pretends to be parent-child with mother today." Lin Wanwan likes to pretend to be parent-child whoever raises a child, and so does Xiao Qingyu.

Because Lin Wanwan loves to wear parent-child attire with Xiao Qingyu, and both of them have good looks, the effect is immediately full, and both of them have brought the trend of parent-child attire among the upper class in Shan County.

Here, Lin Wanwan's mother and son are dressing up, while the servants in the house are getting ready before dawn under Yunshang's arrangement.

In the courtyard, there are dragons dancing on the tent and colorful phoenixes flying on the curtain, which is a festive and lively scene.

The servants picked fresh vegetables directly from the vegetable garden in the backyard, and all kinds of meat had been stored in the ice cellar yesterday.

This house that Lin Wanwan bought from the Yu family has an extremely exquisite design, not only a grand main hall, but also warm pavilions, conservatories and fire walls.

Among them, the greenhouse is the Tang version of the "big shed", with fire walls built around it, floor heating and a pit for burning charcoal on the ground, which is not much inferior to Lin Wanwan's glass greenhouse in Linjiazhuang.

The floor heating and the design of the fire wall make this greenhouse feel like spring all the year round, and the original owner's fresh vegetables in winter are all produced here.

After Lin Wanwan took over the mansion, she slightly upgraded the already powerful conservatory, removed the paper panes and replaced them with glass, and added a whole piece of glass windows on the eaves to greatly increase the lighting.

Anyone who sees the remodeled greenhouse can't help but praise it.

Lin Wanwan planted various fruits in it, including tomatoes, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, papayas and grapes.

At today's birthday party, Lin Wanwan ordered Yunshang to pick off the grapes and cherry tomatoes grown in the greenhouse to entertain the guests—in fact, in addition to the ones grown by herself, Lin Wanwan also bought some directly from the modern fruit shop and mixed them in. .

For a birthday party, there are fruits, vegetables and meat, and of course a birthday cake is indispensable.

Cake is one of Hongyanxiao's specialty pastries, and only premium members can order it.

It is said to be Lin's secret recipe in name, but of course Lin Wanwan bought it from Hyundai.

Although cakes have already appeared in the high society of Yan County, no one has ever associated cakes with birthdays before, and Lin Wanwan is going to set this precedent today.

Lin Wanwan's mother and daughter were ready to dress up, and had breakfast with Xiao Yixun, when the gatekeeper came to report that the ladies and the husband of the Wang family had arrived.

The Wang family is Lin Wanwan's neighbor, so they are close, so naturally they came earlier.

Xiao Yixun has a withdrawn personality and cannot accept a noisy environment, so when the guests came, she got up and went upstairs to her room.

Xiao Yixun has long been used to living alone in the room, and she seldom went out to meet guests since she was a child.
