Chapter 51: The Vengeful Brother
One month later, it was the Longevity Festival.
Early in the morning, Lin Baoer was pulled up by Shen Xuelan and dressed up in various ways, with gold and silver bracelets, longevity lockets, and red silk clothes. She even hung a delicate silver bell on her ankle, which jingled as soon as it moved, which was very pleasant to the ear.
Looking at the strange little man in the bronze mirror, Lin Baoer's mouth twitched.
[My beautiful mother, isn't this a bit exaggerated? Isn't it just the birthday of the old emperor? Is it necessary to make it so grand? ? ?]
Shen Xuelan glanced at her in a hurry and hurriedly helped her put on the last shoe.
"Qinglian, are you ready?"
Qinglian prepared everything and said solemnly, "Yes, madam."
The emperor's birthday banquet, all officials came to congratulate, and they had to bring their relatives to the palace to attend the banquet at the hour of Mao on that day. This day was not only a day for all civil and military officials to be extremely cautious, but even the entire Yanjing city would be decorated with colorful paintings and cloth by craftsmen, and the main streets would be full of singing and dancing.
At the same time, it was also the best day for the prisoners in the prison to eat.
"Okay, then you should quickly inform the eldest son and others and let them meet at the gate as soon as possible."
"Yes."
At the gate of the Lin Mansion, two carriages had been waiting for a long time. After the owners got on the carriages, they slowly walked towards the palace in the morning light.
[Wow! Is this the palace? It is indeed as the history books say, with Qin bricks, Han tiles, purple pillars and golden beams, and it is extremely luxurious.
Through the curtain of the carriage, Lin Baoer stared at the palace outside, feeling excited.
Thinking back, she had not had the chance to go to Beijing to see the Forbidden City, but she never thought that one day she would travel through time and see the real thing. How unpredictable things are!
Many carriages had already gathered at the gate of the palace, and it seemed that there was no end in sight. It was enough to see how many people there were if the civil and military officials plus their relatives were included.
"Brother Lin!"
Sun Zice saw Lin Zhiyu and others here at a glance, and waved to him from a distance.
Today he was dressed in a blue and grey robe, with a jade crown on his head and brocade around his waist, which made him look handsome and extraordinary. At first glance, he really looked like the most elegant young man in the world.
If you ignore the way he spoke.
But Lin Zhiyu did not respond to him, but looked to the other side.
[Tsk tsk tsk, you said you have no sweetheart, but this eldest brother's eyes are almost glued to Miss Chu. ]
Lin Zhiyu suddenly retracted his gaze and glanced at Lin Baoer with resentment.
Lin Baoer had no idea that he could hear her thoughts, and was still bragging about it.
[It seems that the eldest brother has a long way to go in chasing his wife! He works hard in the Ministry of Personnel every day, and after the day off, he goes to help the third brother to look after the wine shop. Why don't you know how to adapt and go on a date with Miss Chu! That is your lifelong event! You are really a rotten wood that cannot be carved! ]
[Did you see how many people are staring at Miss Chu! The title of the first talented woman is not just for fun! Let me tell you, big brother, if you are not more diligent, you might not even know your wife is stolen away one day! I don’t know where she will hide and cry by then.]
Lin Baoer leaned in Qinglian’s arms and sighed. She shot a few daggers at Lin Zhiyu in an attempt to make him wake up as soon as possible.
Seeing the excitement, Lin Ruqian blinked, rolled his eyes, and moved to Lin Zhiyu’s side. He smiled with narrowed eyes, “Big brother, why don’t you go and say hello to Miss Chu? Look at Master Li and Master Zhang, how happy they are chatting with Miss Chu. What if you are not careful and your corner is dug?”
[A teachable child is a teachable child! Third brother still understands my heart the best! Big brother is such a blockhead! 】
Lin Baoer pouted and thought of the brain tonic pill she had redeemed before. How about...giving it to big brother?
But can brain tonic pills improve emotional intelligence? It seems that big brother's IQ is already very high.
System: "No."
Lin Baoer:...
Okay.
She immediately gave up this idea.
The two people's singing in unison made Lin Zhiyu's forehead veins bulge, and he directly carried Lin Ruqian to Lin Qiming's side, "Dad, when I checked last night, I found that third brother seemed to be missing one more policy paper."
Lin Ruqian looked at him in disbelief.
"What?!" Lin Qiming glared, and slapped him on the head without hesitation, "You kid, you actually let your mind wander! You must make up for it when you go back today, otherwise you can forget about going out!" "
Dad!" Lin Ruqian wailed.
"Brother, you are repaying kindness with enmity!"
He was obviously reminding her with good intentions!
Lin Zhiyu ignored him and walked gracefully to Lin Baoer's side.
[Ah! What the hell? ! ]
Lin Baoer shrank her hands in pain and stared at Lin Zhiyu with resentment.
"Qinglian, I heard from the doctor in the Zhang family recently that Baoer's nutrition is not balanced and needs a variety of complementary foods, so don't feed her just one kind of food recently."
"Okay, young master." Qinglian nodded carefully and kept it in mind.
[Ahhh, brother, what are you doing! I didn’t say your corners were dug! I don’t want to eat that kind of sticky, disgusting stuff! 】
Lin Zhiyu turned a deaf ear and went to find Sun Zice leisurely.
Lin Mobai, who saw the whole process clearly, shuddered suddenly and took a step back silently.
It seems that no matter who you mess with, you can’t mess with the big brother who holds a grudge.
After three quarters of the morning, everyone entered the palace. After reaching Zitan Road, the civil and military officials and relatives were divided into two groups.
The former had to go to the Yudian to congratulate the emperor on his birthday and give gifts, and had to go through a complicated and empty ceremony, while the latter only had to go to the banquet place and wait.
In the Taiye Lake, seats were allocated according to official ranks. A wide variety of fruit wines filled the banquet tables, and the surroundings were filled with palace maids waiting for orders. The lake was charming, the garden was full of flower fragrance, and there was a spring breeze.
Before the emperor came, the officials and their relatives could walk around and chat with each other, so Shen Xuelan was called over by another official's wife just after they arrived at Taiye.
【I really want to eat this jade cake! This dessert is so exquisitely made, worthy of being produced by the royal palace. ]
Lin Baoer stared at the various desserts on the table with eager eyes.
"Second brother, can Bao'er eat these things?" Lin Ruqian quietly approached Lin Mobai and asked.
Lin Mobai pondered and nodded, "It should be okay to eat a little."
In the past month, Lin Bao'er has also tried many complementary foods. Among them, her favorite is probably egg custard. Even without any seasoning, it is very delicious.
After getting the answer, Lin Ruqian happily broke a small piece of the jade cake and put it close to Lin Bao'er's mouth, shaking it, "Bao'er, do you want to eat this?"
[Eat! ]
Awooo~
After taking a bite, Lin Bao'er squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Seeing that Lin Ruqian wanted to feed more, Qinglian hurriedly stopped him and said, "Third Master, just this small piece will be enough. If the young lady eats too much, it will be difficult to digest."
