Long Junhai was stunned when he heard this, then said, "Oh, nothing, just humming a tune."
"Can you teach me? I especially like playing and singing songs. The song you just hummed was really nice!" Fang Ting's tone was much gentler at this time.
"Sorry, I was just humming randomly. I have forgotten what song I was humming just now." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Forget it, Tingting, don't make things difficult for him." Miss Shen couldn't stand it anymore. After all, he was her family's servant, so she didn't let Fang Ting continue to make things difficult for her.
"Oh! My sister is feeling distressed! Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Let's continue to enjoy the flowers. But the flowers in your house are really gorgeous. Our servants can't grow such beautiful flowers at all. It's really strange." Fang Ting felt depressed.
"Maybe the method of planting flowers is wrong. The flowers in our house need regular care and pruning every day." Miss Shen said with a smile.
"It's the same with the flowers in our house. They don't grow vigorously and bloom even less beautifully. They feel like withered flowers compared to the flowers in your house!" Fang Ting said speechlessly.
"Hey, girl, you always do things better than others. If you like flowers, take all the flowers here away. Anyway, I don't have the chance to appreciate the flowers in the back garden." Miss Chen didn't care about these flowers and plants at all. She only cared about the results of her own practice.
"Thank you so much, sister. I will transplant all the flowers here back after the birthday party tomorrow!" Fang Ting said with a smile.
"It's fine with you."
Miss Shen said with a smile, and then took a few people to watch somewhere else.
After tidying up the nearby flowers and plants, Long Junhai returned to his residence. No matter how lively other people’s birthday parties were, it had nothing to do with him. It would be more comfortable for him to go back and sleep.
Long Junhai is like this every day now. His daily routine is very regular. He will not go out unless the housekeeper comes to ask him to do something. Usually he will walk around the back garden, go back to the room to rest for a while, or climb onto the roof to look at the stars and the moon.
Now that Shen Sihai is going to hold a birthday banquet, the entire Shen family is very busy, so no one thinks about Long Junhai, this insignificant little man. He takes a break from his busy schedule and goes back to sleep happily. He slept until he woke up naturally.
Miss Fang and Miss Shen are cousins. Since they do not live in the same city, they seldom see each other. When they do see each other, it is not easy, and they talk non-stop from morning to night.
The next morning, firecrackers were set off and gongs and drums were beating, and celebrities came to congratulate them one after another.
A three-meter-high platform was built in the front hall, with many handsome men and beautiful women singing and dancing on it, which looked very lively.
Although the customs of the Song Dynasty were a little weaker, its biggest advantage was its high fertility rate. Because the general cultivation level was relatively low, people's lifespan was only about a thousand years. Therefore, without a high fertility rate, it would become extinct in a few years. Basically, a couple could have at least one child. Rich people like Shen Sihai had many wives and concubines. Although his personal fertility rate was very low, because of the large base, he still had more than a dozen children.
Near noon, the personnel sent by the palace finally arrived, and all the people present, including Shen Sihai, went out to welcome them.
“Mr. Shen, it’s so lively here! Happy birthday! The emperor specially asked me to come and congratulate you. This is a great honor!” The person who came was a third-rank official. Although this level was not too high in Lin’an City, it was not small either. It could be said that he gave Shen Sihai enough face.
"I never thought that the emperor would be interested in a humble person like me. I thank the emperor very much! Lord Han, please come in. All the banquets have been arranged and are waiting for you to start the feast!"
Shen Sihai asked Lord Han to sit in the VIP seat, and a group of people began to come forward to toast politely, and the singers on the stage danced, sang, and played more vigorously.
The front hall entertained male guests, while the backyard entertained female guests. The people in charge of the backyard were Shen Sihai's eldest wife, Zhao, and housekeeper Zhao. They got along very well and did not lose face for the Shen family.
There are seven young ladies in the Shen family, four of whom married far away. Among the three present, only the youngest, Miss Seven, is still unmarried, so she is the one who entertained a group of unmarried girls.
“Sister Shen, are you getting married soon?”
"Yuxiu, who told you this nonsense?" Miss Shen asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I heard it from Sister Fang Ting. Could this be true?" a young girl asked with a smile.
"Hey, Fang Ting is such a talkative girl! She tells everything to others." Miss Shen glared at Fang Ting helplessly.
"Haha, Sister Chen, don't be angry. We are all sisters. It's okay to talk. Anyway, we will all get married in the future. Let's discuss it and marry closer to each other so that we can take care of each other." Fang Ting said indifferently.
"That's right, my sisters all married far away and we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years. How pitiful! I will marry in Lin'an City and never go anywhere else!" said another little girl with a smile.
"Qin Xiang, how old are you and you're already thinking about getting married?"
"I'm almost a hundred years old! I'm not a child anymore! The girls in the Zhou family got married in their forties, so why can't I get married?"
"Hey, young girls nowadays are so eager to get married. It seems I am really old!"
“Sister Shen, do you think your uncle will arrange your marriage today?”
"Can we please stop talking about this? My head hurts!"
A group of girls chattered and talked. The banquet went very smoothly. When everyone had almost finished eating, Shen Sihai suddenly stood up and said, "Now everyone is here to attend my birthday banquet. I am very grateful. I also have a happy event to announce. That is, my little daughter Shen Yue is also going to get married. Her husband has been decided. It is Mr. Han’s only son, Mr. Han!"
In fact, this news had been known for a long time, because there were only a few people who were of equal status to the Shen family, and the Han family was now close to the Shen family, and the two families supported each other, so this was a natural thing, and no one was surprised.
At this time, the young man sitting next to Lord Han stood up to toast. He was Master Han, who was quite handsome and had reached the realm of mortal immortals. He had not yet married, and now was just the right time to get married. Shen Yue would become the first lady of the Han family, which would give her a very good status.
After three rounds of drinks, Mr. Han Biao came to the backyard impatiently, saying that he wanted to toast the ladies. In fact, everyone knew that his main purpose was to visit Shen Yue.
