Ye Lanyin turned around after hearing the sound.
He was filled with excitement the moment he saw the woman.
"Minfang, you're back from praying for blessings?"
Wen Minfang walked in with a smile, then took Ye Lanyin's hand, "Yes, yes, you're back, you're back just in time for your daughter's first birthday party."
Unexpectedly, so much had happened to Ye Lanyin when she returned. Fortunately, she had divorced her husband.
Wen Minfang and Ye Lanyin grew up together. Back in school, Wen Minfang sat behind Ye Lanyin.
When Ye Lanyin was little, she didn't like to study. When Teacher Chang tested her, she often couldn't recite the poems. Wen Minfang happened to be sitting behind her, so she secretly told her.
Later, her teacher discovered this and reported it to her parents, which is when Ye Lanyin began to study diligently.
After coming of age, she married the Marquis of Zhenbei, while Wen Minfang married the current Minister of Personnel.
Ye Lanyin specially invited Wanwan to her full moon celebration, but she did not attend because she had not returned from praying for blessings.
Ye Lanyin didn't expect her to come today.
Wen Minfang looked at Lin Ruian, who was busy not far away, and said with a smile, "When I came back, I heard that Lin Ruian passed the imperial examination. It is truly a cause for celebration."
Wen Minfang was overjoyed.
She knew that Lin Rui'an was in poor health and had rarely gone to school in recent years. She was the one who helped find the tutor for the family.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin's eyes reddened slightly. "Yes, I didn't expect it either. In the end, it's a good thing."
Wen Minfang's gaze shifted to the baby in Hua Xin's hands, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Wow, she's really good-looking."
A pair of big, blinking eyes, a round little face, a chubby little body, and in her hands... she was holding a little chick.
Hehe, so cute~
"Mother, so this is the place you were talking about for the full moon celebration."
The woman next to Wen Minfang couldn't help but speak up.
Wen Minfang smiled and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Chu Qianxue smiled and said, "Mother, a few days ago on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was provoked by someone on the street. Fortunately, Young Master Rui'an helped me. I was planning to tell you about it after attending the banquet today, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that it was the same family."
Lin Rui'an heard a familiar voice, turned around, and saw that it was the woman who had played the zither that night.
Upon hearing this, Wen Minfang said, "What a coincidence!"
Madam Ye asked, "Miss Chu, were you alright that day?"
Chu Qianxue shook her head: "Thank you for your concern, Madam Ye. I'm fine."
She then curtsied to Lin Rui'an, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Young Master Rui'an."
Lin Rui'an also came over at this moment, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Chu, you don't need to be so polite. This is what I should do."
Lin Wanwan looked left and right. Wasn't today her birthday?
[Ugh, you guys are just chatting!]
Ye Lanyin and Lin Rui'an's minds went blank for a moment before they quickly came to their senses.
"Madam Chu, my mother has now established her own household."
"There are no male elders in the household, so as the eldest son, Rui'an should take care of things for his mother."
"You all chat, Rui'an will attend to the other guests first."
The young man was polite and humble, which made Wen Minfang feel gratified.
"Ruian, you go ahead and do your work. I'll have a chat with your mother for a bit."
"yes."
Guests continued to enter one after another. Many ladies, carrying their gifts, made sure to ask Lin Wanwan if she liked them, and some even formed a long queue in front of her.
Lin Wanwan's eyes are bright and clear; there's no one she doesn't like.
The women were all ladies of the court, and the gifts they gave were all of high quality. Huaxin took a small notebook and wrote down the gifts from each of the ladies.
"Wanwan, this is a small jade bowl that your aunt brought with her as part of her dowry. Your aunt never used it, so I'm giving it to you."
"Thank you, Auntie," Lin Wanwan replied with effort.
Reaching into the cloth bag, she pulled out a small purple flower. "Zong~"
The lady couldn't stop smiling when she saw that the girl had thoughtfully given her a small flower.
Afraid that the little girl would be sad if he refused, he reached out and took it.
"Wanwan, thank you so much. Auntie likes it very much."
"Hehe..." Lin Wanwan chuckled.
Hua Xin stood aside, writing down the names. As she wrote, she suddenly noticed that Lin Wanwan had somehow acquired a cloth bag.
She looked suspicious.
Strange, I didn't see any flowers just now. How come Miss has so many flowers?
Can that cloth bag hold it all?
The little guy was having a blast giving gifts, and he was also having a blast receiving them.
Wow, exchanging gold and jewels for the flowers I grow is totally worth it!
The eldest princess happened to be walking from a distance, and upon hearing those words, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
Watching her pull one flower after another from her cloth bag, I couldn't help but feel suspicious.
How can something so small hold so much?
"Wanwan, where did you get these flowers? They're so beautiful!"
Lin Wanwan turned around, "Pig~ Nest, what's that?"
I planted it.
[So many purple spirit flowers!]
Purple Spirit Flower?
Why does that sound so familiar to her?
She smiled and shook her head, then walked towards Ye Lanyin.
Upon hearing the voice in his heart, the Second Prince rushed out from outside. Seeing that Lin Wanwan had indeed given away the Purple Spirit Flower, his heart bled.
Sure enough, children are easily fooled.
"Wanwan, you... gave away so much?"
"Yes!" Lin Wanwan patted her chest. "A lot more!"
The second prince was on the verge of tears.
There are many.
That's a lot.
But those were planted by him before, and she actually gave them away for her birthday?
"Um... have you finished delivering them all?"
The little guy shook his head.
No.
[And also some for the uncles.]
They really came to celebrate my first birthday.
