Weiyang of the Red Mansion

Seeing Lin Lang's sudden realization, as if he just knew that his sister's birthday was coming, Shui Rong immediately stopped in his heart.

You're already picking out gifts for my sister, and you still ask when is my sister's birthday?Are you kidding me?

Don't you know what birthday gift to prepare?

"Don't you know Sister She's birthday?" The corner of Shui Rong's mouth twitched, staring at Lin Lang with an unpredictable expression.

Lin Lang felt hairy all over after being watched by Shui Rong, and replied in doubt, "How do I know the date of the little county master's birthday?"

"..."

Shui Rong stared at Lin Lang for a while, until Lin Lang couldn't help but ask him what's wrong, then said, "Sister Sister's birthday is on the twentieth of the first lunar month, since you asked, I'll wait You prepare a birthday gift for my sister, that's enough, I still have something to do in the mansion, so I'll go back first, and see you another day." Saying that, he left in a hurry.

As for the matter of Lin Lang pretending to be stupid, Shui Rong looked at his friends and did not expose it.

Lin Lang looked at Shui Rong away in a daze, and scratched his head in doubt when he came back to his senses, feeling that something was wrong.

"Shopkeeper, do you only have these headgears in your silver building, and nothing else?" Lin Lang came to the silver building because he thought that his sister was his daughter's family, and he could pick out some things that the daughter's family could use as gifts when he came to the silver building. It was only when I saw these headgears that I realized that my sister is still young, and I can't even wear these headgears.

The shopkeeper of the silver building is a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s. When Lin Lang was talking with Shui Rong, he saw it. Bendang Lin Lang is a friend of Shui Rong, the prince of Beijing County, and also the son of a noble family. Although he has never met Lin Lang , still did not dare to be a little negligent.

"My lord, there are some good things in this store, but they are not suitable for everyone. I don't know who you want to give the gift to? If you don't mind, you might as well tell the villain, and the villain can do it for you." The young master recommends suitable gifts." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Lin Lang didn't think there was anything taboo about choosing a gift for his younger sister, so he said truthfully, "My younger sister will be twelve years old next month, and I'm going to hold a weekly banquet. I want to give my younger sister a birthday gift, but here comes I just remembered that my sister is still young, and you can't wear headgear and jewelry in your store now, even in three or five years. That's why I want to ask, is there anything suitable for children in your store? .”

When the shopkeeper heard Lin Lang's words, he suddenly realized, "So that's the case, I don't know your surname? Which family is it?"

Even when it comes to choosing gifts, one has to be particular about it. Some people’s families are not officials’ families, so some things cannot be used. Otherwise, it’s an overreach.

Since the shopkeeper wanted to help Lin Lang choose a suitable gift for someone to give, he had to know Lin Lang's identity, so as not to harm his son.

"My father is Tanhua Linhai from last year." Lin Lang explained his identity in a simple sentence.

The shopkeeper suddenly realized that it was Tanhualang Lin Ruhai's beloved son, the prodigy who passed the exam of Xiao Sanyuan when he was less than ten years old!

"It turned out to be Mr. Lin. It really is a dragon and a phoenix. It's a little blind, so I didn't recognize it." The shopkeeper smiled and complimented, and then said, "If Mr. Lin wants to choose a gift for his sister, the villain suggests giving silver inlaid jade. Jade nourishes people, silver wards off evil spirits, and silver inlaid with jade combines these two points, and then it is made into a safety buckle or a wishful lock, which is very suitable for infants to wear."

Lin Lang said thoughtfully, "I don't know if there are samples in the shopkeeper's store for me to refer to?"

When he returned to Beijing last year, Lin Lang brought back a warm jade pendant made in Gusu and gave it to Daiyu. Till now, Daiyu wears it on his body, but if he gave gifts today, the pendants would overlap a bit, so it is not necessary.

The shopkeeper saw that Lin Lang was still hesitating, so he ordered someone to take out several sets of silver inlaid jade jewelry kept in the store.

"These are all used by our store to protect the store, and we don't show them easily. If it weren't for Young Master Lin, I wouldn't have shown these." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Lin Lang thanked the shopkeeper, then looked at the jewelry, and finally focused on the safety buckle, "Is this safety buckle made of Lantian jade?"

"Mr. Lin has really good eyesight." The shopkeeper was a little surprised by Lin Lang's vision, and he saw at a glance that the jade on the safety buckle was Lantian jade. "This safety buckle is made of the finest Lantian jade. Master Fang in Beijing made it."

Lin Lang didn't know who Master Fang was, but when the shopkeeper mentioned him with admiration, he guessed that Master Fang was a master in sculpture.

"Then wrap this safety buckle up for me." Lin Lang said.

He is very satisfied with this safety buckle.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled brightly and asked the staff in the silver building to help Lin Lang pack the things, and then said to Lin Lang, "Just now I saw Mr. Lin talking to the prince of Beijing County, Mr. Lin and the prince are friends? "

"Yes." Lin Lang raised his forehead slightly, "What does the shopkeeper want to say?"

The shopkeeper would not ask him about his relationship with Shui Rong for no reason.

"In this way, the two masters are worthy of being friends. It is a great honor for me to choose Bidian to choose gifts for my sister." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Lin Lang suddenly understood, he was still wondering why Shui Rong was so weird today, it turned out that Shui Rong also came to choose a gift for his younger sister today, and remembering what Shui Rong said before he left, how could he not understand that it was a birthday gift.

It was a coincidence.

"Help me, the shopkeeper, wrap up this wishful lock." Lin Lang thought, since he had already talked about Shui Rong, he couldn't justify not preparing a gift.

The shopkeeper didn't expect Lin Lang to buy another one, but he didn't intend to stop it. Mr. Lin is rich and powerful, and he is willing to buy it. Does he still stop him from buying it?That's not how business is done.

"Good Le!"

Lin Lang bleeds heavily today, but luckily he brought enough money, otherwise he would be ashamed.

Back at the mansion, give the things to Bi Chun, and tell her to put them away first.

When it was time for dinner, Lin Lang came to the main courtyard to have dinner with Jia Min.

After drinking and eating.

"You go to your grandmother's house today, are your grandmother and uncle okay?"

Lin Lang took a sip of water and said, "Grandmother is in good health, I can see that she can live for another 20 years, and the two uncles seem to be in good health, but cousin Zhu, I will go there today At that time, he fell ill, and he was still awake when I came back."

"What's going on?" Jia Min was surprised when he heard that, "The eighth day of the fifth lunar month is Zhu Ge'er's good day. It's just after the Lantern Festival. Why did Zhu Geer suddenly fall ill? Did you ask the imperial doctor to see? What did you get?" Illness? Can it be cured?"

The Rongguo Mansion is about to fall, and the hope of propping up the Rongguo Mansion rests on Jia Zhu. After all, it is her natal family, so why is Jia Min not worried?

"Mother, don't worry. Cousin Zhu just caught a cold. He fell ill because he didn't pay attention to it. There is nothing serious about it. I invited the imperial doctor to come over and look at it. He only said that he should rest more and take less effort. He would take a few doses of medicine and he would be fine. Days will heal."

Jia Min heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then looked at Lin Lang annoyed, "You child, why can't you speak clearly? Mother was so scared that she thought Brother Zhu had some kind of emergency, so don't do that next time."

"There will be no next time." Lin Lang knew that his words were too vague and frightened his mother, so he didn't defend himself and said honestly.

Seeing that Lin Lang was so honest, Jia Min didn't hold back, "By the way, I heard that you came back today and brought two big bags. What good things did you buy back? You didn't show them to your mother. ?”

"It's a birthday gift for my younger sister, how can I open it up and show it to my mother first?" Lin Lang said with a smile.

Jia Min snorted, "Your sister only has two birthdays this year, why are you buying two gifts?"

"The other one is for the little county magistrate of the Prince's Mansion of Beijing County," Lin Lang said. Seeing Jia Min's complexion changed slightly, fearing that Jia Min might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained, "Today I went to the Yinlou to pick out gifts for my sister and met the prince. The prince said that the little county lord's birthday is on the twentieth of the first lunar month, and he wanted me to prepare a gift. Before I could say anything, he went back. It was just a gift, and it didn't hurt anything, so I just bought a silver inlaid jade Ruyi The lock is a thought."

"Really?" Jia Min felt that Lin Lang was fooling her.

No matter what, the Prince of Beijing County would not be so rude. How could anyone ask someone else for a gift?Don't let it be that Lin Lang wanted to give gifts, so he used water melting as an excuse.

Seeing that Jia Min didn't believe it, Lin Lang felt a little helpless, "Mother, what is there for my son to lie to you? It's really what the son said."

It was also impossible for Jia Min to ask Shui Rong for verification, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being, "Give me the gift later, and I will send it in my name. You can explain it to the prince, and you, a foreigner, give it directly to the little county magistrate." It's not appropriate to give a gift."

It's not that Jia Min has any prejudice against the little county master, she just doesn't want her son to be criticized.

Lin Lang also knew that it was unreasonable for him to directly prepare a birthday gift for the little county magistrate, and he had no intention of objecting to Jia Min, "Thank you, mother."

In fact, he still has some headaches on how to find a legitimate excuse to send this congratulatory gift. Now that Jia Min is willing to use it as a shield for him, he is naturally happy not to bother thinking about a new way to solve this problem.

Jia Min stayed with Lin Lang for a while, calculated that Lin Ruhai would be back soon, and sent Lin Lang back to the house to rest.

"Your complexion is not very good, don't stay up late to study these few days, go to bed earlier."

"Yes, mother."

Although Lin Lang wanted to say that he didn't stay up late to study, he couldn't explain why he stayed up until midnight in the study.

Do you want to tell your mother that he is not reading but reading the book Jia Lian gave him?

It was known by mother and was able to peel his skin.

After all, his mother has always been proud of him after he passed the junior high school entrance examination.

Not long after Lin Lang went back, Lin Ruhai came back.

After Lin Ruhai finished washing and took Daiyu away from her arms, Jia Min talked about Lin Lang preparing a birthday gift for the little county magistrate of Beijing County Wangfu today.

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai had the same thought as Jia Min.

"Zhenchuan's Aizi has always been modest, and I've seen it many times. He is a very polite and good boy. How could he force Lang Erfei to give the little county magistrate a birthday gift?" Lin Ruhai said.

Jia Min frowned, "You mean, Lang'er lied to me?"

"Lang'er is not a liar." Lin Ruhai shook his head and frowned, "I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding between Lang'er and Shizi."

Jia Min was puzzled, "Why do you see that?"

"Lang'er said that the son asked him to prepare a congratulatory gift for the little county master. The son is not such a person who doesn't understand etiquette. Lang'er is a foreigner. How can he directly give the little county master a birthday gift? The son will never do such a thing, Lang Er has always been smart and filial, she will not lie to anyone, not to you and me, there must be some misunderstanding between them to make such a joke. Madam, don't worry, I will ask Lang'er tomorrow."
