Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 158 Happy Birthday, See Teacher's Wife

"Although it looks good this way, it's a pity that the golden color can't be seen."

Some pastry chefs regretted seeing the three-tiered cake painted snow white,

"It won't be a pity. It's not over yet. Come and get a few small bowls."

Lan Lingxue scooped a little cream into the small bowl, and then used various flower juices and vegetable juices to adjust them into different colors,
"Wow, it's so beautiful, so it can be like this."

Lan Lingxue no longer paid attention to their exclamation, and began to focus on the last process, making the cake into flowers, really making flowers, when those borders, those petals, those green leaves, are delicate but vivid It was completely displayed in front of everyone, and the masters were already stunned and amazed, and Lan Lingxue also heaved a long sigh of relief, it was done.

"Hey, in this blank space, we write blessings. For example, today is a birthday celebration, so we write happy birthday! Little hoe, write it yourself."

Lan Lingxue put the red cream she made in her hand into a pointed paper tube she rolled out of paper, squeezed out some of the front ends, and handed it to the little hoe,
"I?"

Little Hoe pointed at himself, a little in disbelief that this important task would be entrusted to him.
"This is your sincerity and filial piety. Naturally, it's up to you to write it. It doesn't matter what you write. It's just a lottery. In this way, you can practice on the cake next to you, and then come back and write."

The little hoe obediently tried to write on a small cake handed over by his sister, and it felt good. Then he used the special paper roll that Lan Lingxue gave him, and wrote four words on the three-layer cake. Large characters - 'Happy Birthday'.

The two siblings arrived at Master Little Hoe's house, and it was almost noon, and the two of them were drenched in sweat. If the celebration started at noon, it would be time for the birthday meal, right?
"Oh, Junior Brother Lan is here, please come in, please come in."

After receiving the report from the porter, the senior brother of the little hoe immediately followed the woman who came to report out of the house, all the way to the porter,

"Junior Brother Lan, it's the first time we meet. I always hear my father mentioning you, and my ears are callused."

People who practice martial arts are bold and forthright. When they met for the first time, they hugged the little hoe tightly and hit the back twice with their fists.

"Brother?"

Little Hoe had never seen the two senior brothers before, so he hesitated to call out, and did not dare to call the senior senior brother or the second senior brother, for fear of calling the wrong one, which would be embarrassing.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am senior brother, senior senior brother."

It's self-reported,
"Big Brother!"

This time the little hoe barked happily,
"Hey--"

The senior brother happily agreed, turned around and pulled the little hoe to run into the house, only to find that there was another person behind the little hoe, a tall, slender man with delicate features, fair face, and a sweet smile on his face ,

"Who is this?"

The elder brother asked the little hoe,
"My sister, it's Teacher's wife's birthday today. My sister is afraid that I'll neglect you, so she must come and have a look. I also want to wish Teacher's wife a happy birthday!"

Although when talking to my elder sister, the two of them called "Mister" and "Mister", but now that I see Senior Brother, Xiao Hoe respectfully called "Mister".
"That's a rare guest, and I don't know who is older between the two of us, so I'll call you Sister Lan first, please come in."

Eldest brother didn't see him, so he let the two of them go into the house, and told the porter to pull the carriage to the stable.

"Wait a minute, I'll bring the birthday cake."

Because the two of them only brought Chunhua and a servant girl with them, obviously they couldn't carry anything, so the little hoe rushed to grab the birthday cake in his hand. This is a gift that is afraid to touch, and my sister spent a lot of time packing it well. With great strength, he has come all the way, and he is reluctant to fall short.
"What is this?"

Seeing that the little hoe was carrying a tall pink-blue round box, he didn’t talk about the contents, only the pink-blue satin cloth with a pink-purple ribbon, and a round box was stamped on top of it. It is beautifully worn with flower knots, and the outer packaging is enough to dazzle the eyes.
"This is a birthday present for my teacher's wife. You'll know what it is in a while. Quick, quick, quick, help Sister Chunhua get something."

Although the conditions at home have improved, Little Hoe still does everything by himself, and there are no servants or servants for him at home. After all, he is only a ten-year-old child, and he doesn't mind it. When I saw a lot of things, I couldn't remember that there were servants in the mansion, so I called the senior brother to help get the gift. Thanks to the senior senior brother, he was also a neat person, and he lifted the four pieces of cloth and carried them on his shoulders. Feeling relaxed, he hugged those boxes tightly in his arms and followed the eldest lady all the way, entered the second gate, and then entered the main courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door of the main room, Little Hoe hurriedly put down the cake in his hand, walked up to the master and his wife who were sitting upright, knelt down on the cushions that had been prepared, and kowtowed three times firmly,
"Master, master, please accept my disciple's worship."

He said it was a bow, but he kowtowed a lot, because it was the first time he met his wife, and the master waited for him to kowtow three times before shouting,
"Second brother, quickly help your junior brother up."

The teacher's wife's voice is gentle and warm, and she looks like a lady. Compared with the strong and rough master of the little hoe, she is definitely a small bird.

"Thank you, Mrs. Ma!"

Lan Lingxue saw a solid young man wearing a light gray bunt in the room, walked quickly to the little hoe, stretched out her hand to help him up,

"I always heard my father talking about you. I don't know how many times I mentioned you in the letter. When I saw you today, you are much weaker than I imagined."

This is a real one, but, this body is too strong, stronger than that senior brother, and I don't know if my gift is suitable, isn't it two years younger?No matter how it looks, it is too different from the little hoe, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a gap of five or six years.

"The little girl has met the master and the master!"

Seeing that her younger brother had finished kowtowing, Lan Lingxue walked over generously and greeted her master and his wife. This time it was the little girl standing next to her who rushed over,

"Sister, come and sit here."

No need to guess, this is the lady in the master's family who only likes female celebrities in calligraphy and painting.
"It's Xiaodie, right?"

"Yes, yes, my sister has heard of me."

This one is not as shy as my brother said, this family of martial arts probably has a distance from our description,

"Of course I've heard it. My younger brother talks about his seniors, younger brothers, and younger sisters."

Of course Lan Lingxue tried her best to speak well for Little Hoe,
"Hey, this is a meeting gift brought to you by Senior Brother Lan. These two pieces of pink brocade silk were specially chosen for you, and this pair of earrings. Xiaodie, do you like it?"

"luv't!"

Xiaodie was immediately seduced by the color of the brocade, and when she saw the pair of gold earrings inlaid with pink jade, she was almost drunk.
"It's so beautiful, sister, it's so beautiful, thank you! Thank you, Senior Brother Lan."

No matter how stupid she was, she could tell that Senior Brother Lan had prepared this gift, but how could a boy pick out such an acceptable gift, it must have been picked out by this pretty sister.

"Master, these two pieces of brocade silk with a slightly darker color are for you, and this pair of earrings, please accept them."

Lan Lingxue pointed to the two pieces of fabric, picked up the box containing the earrings, walked to the teacher's wife, opened the box, and put it in front of her.
"Yo, it's so beautiful and rare, I like it very much."

The teacher's wife took the earrings over, picked up one and looked at it carefully, she couldn't put it down,
"Mother, yours is blue jade, more beautiful."

When Xiaodie saw the blue gold inlaid jade earrings, she rushed over immediately. Seeing that posture, she meant to grab them immediately. Lan Lingxue giggled twice, stepped aside, looked Watching the little girl and mother act coquettishly.

"Your Senior Brother Lan has already given you a pair. This pair belongs to your mother, so don't follow suit."

Before the teacher's wife spoke, the master spoke first. It seemed that he wanted to help his daughter-in-law keep things.

"I didn't say I wanted it either. Seeing how stingy my father is, I just want to see it."

When the little girl sees these gadgets, she must be staring and drooling. Lan Lingxue foresaw this kind of thing happening early in the morning.

"Junior Brother Lan is really eccentric. He didn't even prepare a gift for us, and just made us greedy."

Eldest brother pulls on second senior brother, pretending to pose, heartbroken, compared to these two brothers, this senior brother is like a younger brother, with a cheerful personality and loves to play tricks, while that second senior brother is like an older brother, tall and strong-tempered Also simple,
"How can I miss you, but don't scream when you see the gift."

Little Hoe was very confident in the gifts he had prepared. He took two exquisitely carved boxes, went up to them, and slowly opened the boxes...

"Wow, is that for me? My gift? So pretty."

Eldest brother took a box, took out the jade wrench and put it on his hand, the size was just right, it was done with care, otherwise it would not be so suitable, the wrench is nothing else, it can only be just right,
"this is mine?"

Seeing that the elder brother took one, the second senior brother picked up the other, tried to put it on his thumb, and it worked, his face turned red, and he smiled naively,

"I like this. It must be very comfortable when drawing the bow."

It turns out that he just doesn't like to talk, not that he can't talk. Look at what he said, although he didn't directly praise the gift, he indirectly expressed his happy mood, but the little hoe wiped his sweat secretly. Thumbs up, the person who was going to give it back at that time was the opposite, so the reverse may be suitable, and it can be regarded as a mistake.

"It's good that brothers like it, I'm afraid it doesn't suit your wishes."

Little Hoe looked at the joyful expressions of the two, but pretended to speak modestly.
