Chapter 103 Midsummer Birthday 1
Today is Shengxia's birthday. Xia Yanjing has been preparing for this day for a long time. Every year he spends a lot of time and energy to celebrate Shengxia's birthday, and this year is no exception.
As for those business and official affairs, just put them aside for now. The world brought his lover on this day, and he should give something back.
During these four years, his noodles became very popular in various counties and prefectures. Although it was a small noodle shop, it gradually became famous for its unique taste and superb cooking skills, attracting many diners.
Many days ago, Xia Yanjing sent a message to all the shops, asking them to close today and open a porridge shop to help those who have no food to eat. He hopes to bring more blessings to Shengxia through this.
Although he didn't know why he came to this world, since such a thing happened, perhaps there were such mysterious things in the world, and he hoped that his Xia Xia could have a good future.
Xia Yanjing was supposed to go to court today, so he ordered Shitou to ask for leave for Shengxia early in the morning. When Shengxia woke up, Xia Yanjing put his arm around her waist and said lazily, "Xia Xia, today is your birthday. I want to celebrate for you, so I took the initiative to ask Shitou to take a day off for you."
After hearing this, Shengxia lay back down, turned her body to look at Shengxia and asked curiously, "How are you going to celebrate my birthday today?"
"Keep it a secret." Xia Yanjing said with a smile and eyes closed. At this time, Xia Yanjing had not yet recovered from his sleepiness.
"Then I want to eat the longevity noodles you made yourself." Shengxia half-propped up her body and grabbed Xia Yanjing's hair and played with it.
"No problem, I'm happy to help." Xia Yanjing immediately became excited after hearing this. Since Xia Xia asked for it, he had to satisfy her.
Without hesitation, Xia Yanjing stood up, put on his clothes, and headed straight for the kitchen. Then, as if remembering something, he turned back and said to Shengxia, "There are clothes I prepared for you on the screen. Remember to change into them."
After saying this, Xia Yanjing hurried to the kitchen. He couldn't let his wife starve.
After Xia Yanjing left, Shengxia stood up and looked at the screen. A large area of purple came into view. Shengxia took the clothes off the screen, put them on, and then stood in front of the fitting mirror.
This is a crimson purple robe with a lifelike red-crowned crane embroidered on it with gold and silver threads. The crane has a slender and upright figure, and its entire body is covered with snow-white feathers, so pure that there is not a trace of dust on it.
The ends of its wings are adorned with a few inky black flight feathers, like dark patterns embroidered on plain clothes, with a sharp contrast yet elegant. The exposed skin on the top of its head is bright scarlet, like a delicate cinnabar embedded between the snow-white feathers, which is particularly eye-catching. With its slender black beak and bright red long legs, the overall appearance is like a refined and elegant scholar in white.
Behind the red-crowned crane is a magnificent landscape, but strangely, the painting seems to be only half. Despite this, Shengxia likes it very much.
Shengxia called the servant and asked him to find the servant who was best at dressing up. He didn't want to let Xia Yanjing's gift go to waste, so he wanted to put on some makeup to match the clothes Xia Yanjing gave him.
Shengxia was actually a little nervous. This was the first time he wanted to dress up, and he hoped Xia Yanjing would like it.
The young servant was a little shocked, but they had to obey their master's orders. There were no makeup items here in Shengxia, so the young servant could only go to Ye Zi. Although Ye Zi dressed less on weekdays, he had everything he needed, and they were all of very good quality.
When Ye Zi found out, she took all her things and went to Shengxia's room with the servant without saying a word. When Ye Zi came in, she was attracted by Shengxia's clothes at first sight.
"Master, your clothes are so beautiful." Ye Zi praised sincerely.
"It was given to me by Yan Jing, so I wanted to dress up and match it better with this dress." Shengxia said a little embarrassedly.
"Master, we are here to help you." Ye Zi was very excited when she heard this. This was the first time that the master asked her to dress up.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Just dress lightly." Shengxia reminded quickly.
After a stick of incense had passed, Ye Zi and the servant finally stopped. Shengxia looked at herself in the mirror and felt a little strange.
The slightly made-up face made her look even more perfect. The scar at the corner of her eye was also painted with lipstick by the servant, covering it up without making it look out of place.
Shengxia was not used to it. He wanted to take off his makeup, but Ye Zi stopped him. "Master, it looks good. Don't take it off. The master will definitely like it."
Shengxia felt uncomfortable looking at herself in the mirror. Fortunately, it was just light makeup, which was not obvious if you didn't look closely. Shengxia pushed the mirror away and pretended that she was not wearing any makeup at all, otherwise Shengxia would just want to take off the makeup on her face.
"Okay, you guys go down first." Shengxia coughed twice and said a little uncomfortably.
"Yes, master." After receiving the order, the two men took the things and left Shengxia's room.
After the two left, Shengxia saw that there was no one around, so she turned the mirror back and looked at herself carefully. Which guy doesn't love beauty? Shengxia brushed the scar at the corner of her eye and looked at herself who seemed a little unfamiliar. Would Yan Jing really like her?
"Xia Xia, the longevity noodles are here." Xia Yanjing's voice came from outside the door, and soon Xia Yanjing walked in with a tray. Sheng Xia heard Xia Yanjing's voice and quickly turned the mirror around.
"Eat it while it's hot." Xia Yanjing put the noodles on the table, and then saw Shengxia sitting in front of the dressing mirror, as if she didn't hear what he said.
Xia Yanjing saw Shengxia put on the clothes he prepared, and was very curious about what Shengxia would look like in them, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Xia Xia, how about this dress? Do you like it?"
"I like it, it's very beautiful." Shengxia still didn't look back at Xia Yanjing, but just answered in a gentle voice.
"Stand up and let me take a look." Xia Yanjing stood behind Shengxia and reminded her when he saw Shengxia still sitting there.
"Okay." Shengxia knew that this moment would come sooner or later. She took a deep breath, slowly stood up, turned around and looked at Xia Yanjing.
The moment Shengxia stood up, Xia Yanjing nodded with satisfaction. It was good. He spent so much money on it. It was very suitable for Shengxia.
After Shengxia turned around, she slowly raised her head, which had been lowered, and looked at Xia Yanjing. After admiring the clothes, Xia Yanjing raised his eyes and saw Shengxia's slightly made-up face. The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.
Shengxia did not miss the surprise in Xia Yanjing's eyes, and for a moment she felt a little more confident. Xia Yanjing felt that the things around him and time seemed to be in slow motion. Now there was only Shengxia in his eyes, and no one else could fit in.
