Chapter 145 New Year's Eve
"I flew up, stepped on the enemy's heads and flew all the way. After a while, I saw the enemy general. I approached him quickly, and he didn't even have time to react before I killed him."
Lin Shuo was telling about his magnificent battle achievements, and Zhao Xiu and Lin Changcan were listening attentively.
Lin Wu pulled Lin Qian aside to talk, glaring at Wei Xiaoran as he spoke.
“There were a lot of spoils this time, and I didn’t want anything else. I only wanted some jewelry, including rubies, emeralds, and purple gems, all of which were pigeon eggs.
I'll give them all to you as a dowry. You can make them into jewelry or wear them on your clothes when you get home." Lin Wu pulled Lin Qian to a large wooden box and said to her.
When Lin Qian opened it, she was dazzled by the box full of sparkling gems.
"Wow! Dad, I love you so much!" Lin Qian pounced on Lin Wu, then jumped down to look at the gems in the box.
Zhao Xiu was also attracted and saw Lin Qian's box of sparkling gems. She couldn't help but walk over and take out two to have a look.
Seeing Zhao Xiu like this, Lin Wu grabbed her hand and said unhappily, "What are you doing? This is our daughter's dowry. Don't fight with her for it."
"I just wanted to take a look. I didn't ask for it." Zhao Xiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She knew that her father loved his daughter, so why wouldn't he let her take a look?
Lin Qian glanced at Lin Wu disapprovingly and said, "Dad, there are so many here. If Mom likes it, let her choose. Why are you stopping her?"
Who knew that Lin Wu ignored Lin Qian's words, pulled Zhao Xiu to the other side of the two boxes, and said: "That's my daughter's, this is yours."
Lin Qian also came over to watch Zhao Xiu unpacking the box. After just one glance, Lin Qian turned around and left: "Goodbye!"
The two boxes belonging to Zhao Xiu were obviously larger than Lin Qian's. One was filled with various cloths and animal furs, and the other was filled with various gems like Lin Qian's.
"Dad, you are so clear-headed! You can tell it very clearly." Lin Qian said in a sour tone.
The gems in Zhao Xiu's box are much bigger than those in Lin Qian's. One can tell with a discerning eye that the big ones are all in Zhao Xiu's hand, and the small ones are given to Lin Qian.
Sure enough, the parents are still in love, and the two children are still there.
Lin Wu said, "Do you still want to fight with your mother? Your mother has had a hard time raising you two to adulthood, so of course the good things should be given to her."
"No, no, I don't have any problem with my mother, but I do have a little complaint about you, father." Lin Qian said with her little finger pointed.
"You're holding it in. I don't want to listen." Lin Wu didn't want to listen at all. Lin Qian: "Yes!"
Zhao Xiulin Shuo and Lin Changcan all laughed, but Wei Xiaoran came over and took Lin Qian's hand, saying, "It's okay. You can ask me for anything you want in the future, and I'll give it to you."
Lin Qian nodded and glanced at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu was furious: "We are a family reunion, where did you come from? Get out of here, you are not welcome in my house."
Wei Xiaoran was very obedient and was about to say goodbye. But before leaving, he smiled and said to Lin Wu, "Sooner or later, we will be a family. Next time I leave, Qianqian will go with me."
After saying that, Wei Xiaoran quickly ran away without waiting for Lin Wu's reaction.
"Ah!" Lin Wu was so angry that he was about to rush out with his sword to fight Wei Xiaoran for three hundred rounds, but was held back tightly by Lin Qian and Lin Shuo.
Lin Wu doesn't like Wei Xiaoran, but Wei Xiaoran goes to the Lin family every day. Anyway, the two families are next door now, so Wei Xiaoran goes to Lin Qian's house as if he is going back to his own home.
Lin Wu was so angry that he almost wanted to move. In the end, Zhao Xiu said that this was a house bestowed by the emperor and he could not move. Only then did Lin Wu give up.
"Besides, my daughter lives next door, so close. If she is wronged, she can scream and we can hear her. Why should she move?" Zhao Xiu said.
Lin Wu thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so he had to shut up reluctantly.
Then he met Wei Xiaoran and became furious again.
After a few days, the New Year arrived.
This year, Lin Qian helped the emperor cure his illness, Wei Xiaoran helped the emperor find a wife, and Lin Wu and Lin Shuo helped the emperor quell the war.
Therefore, on the 30th day, the emperor rewarded the Lin family with many things, and these things were directly written by Zhao Xiu in Lin Qian's dowry list.
On the 30th, Lin Qian's house was still very lively. Wei Xiaoran and Zhang Yufang both came to Lin's house to celebrate the New Year.
When Lin Wu saw Wei Xiaoran, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. However, for the sake of Zhang Yufang and Xinnian, he did not scold Wei Xiaoran.
"You're not bad looking! Why does my dad get so angry when he sees you? I've never seen you two get along so badly before." Lin Qian said to Wei Xiaoran.
Wei Xiaoran smiled: "I understand Uncle Wu's feelings very well. As long as I think about our daughter getting married in the future, I will also dislike my son-in-law."
Lin Qian was stunned. "We haven't even gotten married yet, nothing has been decided yet, and you're already thinking about your daughter's marriage? Aren't you thinking too far ahead?"
"Yes! I have already imagined my future life, from getting married to growing old." Wei Xiaoran looked at Lin Qian, his eyes full of love.
Beside them, Lin Shuo half-deadly covered his ears and said, "I just came out to watch the fireworks, why are you stuffing dog food into my mouth!"
That night, Wei Xiaoran and Zhang Yufang did not return home until after midnight.
Zhang Yufang and Zhao Xiuduo drank two more glasses and became a little tipsy. They said to their son, "Look, the Lin family is so lively during the New Year, but our family is so quiet with just the two of us.
Fortunately, you are going to marry Qianqian soon. You must work harder so that I can have a grandson sooner rather than later and our family will be more lively."
Wei Xiaoran smiled and nodded, saying okay.
New Year's Eve just passed like this.
The next day was New Year's Day. The emperor hosted a banquet in the palace for all officials and their families. This time, Lin Qian could go.
Early in the morning, the family of four dressed up and went to the palace. They first wanted to wish the emperor and the empress a happy new year.
After entering the palace, Lin Wu and Lin Qian went to the emperor's study, while Zhao Xiu took Lin Qian to the queen's Fengyi Palace to pay New Year's greetings to Shen Junqi.
I haven't seen her for more than two months, but Shen Junqi hasn't changed much. She is still the same as before in the boudoir, not much different.
It seems that the emperor takes good care of her.
In front of so many people, Chen Junqi still had to maintain her queenly demeanor, so she didn't show much affection towards Lin Qian and Ge Wenyu.
He just winked at them when he saw them.
"Sister Qianqian, you're here." Ge Wenyu walked over and affectionately took Lin Qian's arm.
Lin Qian smiled and nodded, glanced at Ge Wenyu, and found that she was wearing a necklace around her neck. Lin Qian had seen this necklace before, as it was something Lin Shuo had been tinkering with these days.
She thought it was a gift for her, but unexpectedly it was given to Ge Wenyu.
Lin Qian's smile deepened.
