I pray every day, but life is never what I want.
***
November 11th is Helan Ruizhe’s birthday.
He acted as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't remember what Jin Suting did that night, why she went out in the middle of the night and didn't come back for a long time, and why she took the knife to stab him and then let go.
He didn't express any of these doubts. These past few days were as normal as could be.
Jin Suting originally wanted to make him a cake, but unfortunately there was no ice to buy here, and there was no good goat milk, so she had to give up.
I bought chicken, duck, fish and meat early in the morning, planning to cook a table full of delicious dishes to celebrate my birthday.
"You bought so many vegetables, how can we two eat late?" Helan Ruizhe was helping her wash the vegetables.
The atmosphere was so grand, as if it was a huge Hongmen Banquet, and he was about to set off after the meal.
Jin Suting said, "Who said there were only two of us?"
Her answer was unexpected. Could it be that she had other acquaintances in Jiangnan City?
In Helan Ruizhe's impression, there is no such thing.
"Is there anyone else?" He put the washed vegetables on the chopping board. "Who is it?"
Jin Suting kept it a secret, "Keep it a secret."
"Didn't we agree that it would be just the two of us tonight?" he said half-jokingly.
Jin Suting laughed: "Why, haven't you had enough fun these past few days?"
They went to the fields to watch the people doing winter plowing these days and walked all over Jiangnan City. The winter scenery was beautiful, and there was nothing particularly bad about it except that it was a bit cold.
By the way, Helan Ruizhe also said that if there is a chance, he will take Jin Suting south next year to see the gentle beauty of the south of Fuding Kingdom.
Helan Ruizhe doesn't often say "if", or rather, he doesn't like to say "if".
Jin Suting always felt something was wrong, as if he knew that he didn't have much time left and wanted to do something else he could.
As night falls, the yard is filled with delicious dishes.
Helan Ruizhe still didn't understand what Jin Suting was talking about, so he asked her directly who was coming.
"It should be here soon."
Jin Suting had not finished speaking for long when Yuan Jing, riding a horse, and the carriage behind him came outside the yard.
Shi Qingmiao, Yu Chenghao, Tan Er and Yuan Jing, they all came.
Oh, and there’s also the clever little Changyan.
Before he even entered the courtyard, he shouted "Uncle, Uncle."
Shi Qingmiao had specifically warned him not to call the Emperor "Uncle", and little Changyan remembered it clearly.
Helan Ruizhe was surprised at first, "Why did you invite them all here?"
Then there was a surprise, and she held little Changyan and spun around several times.
Jin Suting knew that this decision was the right one. He would definitely be very happy to celebrate his birthday with his sister and best brother.
It’s a pity that Helan Minzhi was unwilling to come. She locked herself up in the palace all year round.
The child was indeed greedy. As soon as he sat at the table, he picked up the chicken leg and started to eat it.
Little Changyan was spoiled by his grandparents in the Si family, and there were no rules. Shi Qingmiao was about to scold him, but was stopped by Helan Ruizhe, "Since you are in the countryside, just live the life of an ordinary person. There is nothing taboo about a child liking to eat chicken legs."
Shi Qingmiao: "Brother, you can't spoil him!"
Jin Suting smiled and said, "It's his birthday today, he's happy!"
Yu Seung-ho even added another chicken drumstick to Xiao Changyan, "If you like it, eat more, eat as much as you want!"
Little Chang Yan was very happy, "Thank you, big brother!"
Yu Seung-ho pinched his face: "We're of different generations, you should call me uncle!"
