Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Chapter 223 Surprise (1)

After Wang Shuhua left, Xuanyuan Yan did not move back to Wangyou Inn, but directly moved into the front yard guest room of Qingyue Villa. Since he had agreed to Baili Nanqing's request, he devoted himself to being Shangguan Qingyue's husband.

He even took care of the martial arts practice in the morning.

There is no way, now Shangguan Yunxin is devoted to the health club in the county town and rarely goes home. She is calm and capable, and she is paired with the cheerful and generous Zhang Jiaojiao. The two are simply a strong combination.

Nowadays, ladies and young ladies who want to go to the health club have to send servants to the store to make an appointment in advance, otherwise they will not be able to get a seat.

Under Xuanyuan Yan's devilish teaching day after day, Shangguan Qingyue was so tired that she would play the piano or practice calligraphy in her sleep. Zhang Da Niu, who stayed with her all day, felt very distressed when she saw this.

In order to give her young lady more time to rest, she took on all the work she could. At first, Shangguan Qingyue was a little uncomfortable, but later she was too tired and finally compromised.

Once she got used to it, she had to admit that life was so good to have food and clothes provided for her without having to open her mouth!

One day, the girl who was combing her young lady's hair suddenly thought of something, slapped her head and said quickly:

"Oh, Ruoxi, there's something I forgot to tell you!"

Shangguan Qingyue, who was enjoying herself with her eyes closed, had all the sleepiness in her head driven away.

"What's wrong? Is it something important?"

"Well, I guess so. A few days ago, I heard from Mr. Yuan's guard that Mr. Yuan's birthday is in ten days. In the past, countless people celebrated his birthday. In comparison, this year's birthday is a bit too shabby.

They are discussing buying a birthday gift for Mr. Yuan. I was thinking that as a student, you should show some appreciation for him."

This made Shangguan Qingyue feel very troubled. She had to show her sincerity, and she had to show her sincerity. She had studied with him for so long, but he didn't pay her a penny.

But the other party was of noble status, and what good things had he not seen? What kind of gift should she prepare to be appropriate?

Inadvertently glancing at the feet wearing bamboo sandals, Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but sigh. Everything here is good, except that it's too conservative.

As the weather got hotter, she still had to wrap herself up tightly from head to toe. At most, she could open her neckline a little looser and make her clothes thinner and more breathable.

Even the pair of sandals on her feet had to be worn with socks. If she dared to show her toes, the whole family would go crazy.

Thinking of this, she stood up suddenly, and the jade hairpin in the girl's hand almost scratched her face!

"My dear lady, you are scaring me to death! If this scratches your face, I won't be able to compensate you even if I have ten lives."

Zhang Danniu kept patting her chest and took several deep breaths before her heartbeat slowly calmed down.

Shangguan Qingyue smiled guiltily.

"I'm wrong, big girl, I was so absorbed in thinking that I didn't pay attention to anything else.

Hurry down the mountain and go to my mother's workshop to ask her for two bundles of the finest cotton thread and the finest crochet needle. I will need them very much!"

When the girl heard this, she wanted to run down the mountain immediately, but was pulled back by Shangguan Qingyue's eyes.

She was honest and never asked for reasons when Shangguan Qingyue asked her to do something. She just thought about how to get it done. This was also her most likable aspect. Zhang Jiaojiao always got jealous when she saw her. She always yelled that she wanted to snatch her away.

After finishing all the homework for the day, Shangguan Qingyue secretly gathered all the family members together and held a small "meeting". She planned to hold a birthday party for Xuanyuan Yan to give him a surprise.

To this end, she racked her brains to come up with a reason to get the person away.

Wang Shuhua promised to leave his calligraphy in the school, but he finally broke his promise. Xuanyuan Yan was the best calligrapher in the village, so the responsibility naturally fell on him.

It was already past the end of school, but none of the girls in the school left. They pushed and shoved their way closer to Xuanyuan Yan, who was writing at the back of the classroom.

Looking at the godlike man so close, everyone blushed. Although Wang Shuhua's calligraphy was not inferior, it had to be admitted that it was more attractive when written by Xuanyuan Yan.

From then on, every day after school, the students would stay for half an hour longer, doing nothing else but copying the words on the blackboard over and over again in a sandbox.

However, what everyone does not know is that Xuanyuan Yan actually has two handwritings. One for the left hand and one for the right hand. He is a natural left-handed person, and he spent a lot of energy practicing writing with his right hand.

People say that he writes well, but in fact, his left hand writes better. Apart from the few people closest to him, the only person who has seen his left handwriting is Shangguan Qingyue.

The calligraphy piece he gave her to copy was written with his left hand, but only he knew this.

In the blink of an eye, it was Xuanyuan Yan's birthday, and the guards were warned one by one not to reveal any clues.

After finishing a set of boxing, bathing and changing clothes, he sat down at the table to prepare for breakfast as usual. He saw the servants put a few dishes on the table and then brought a large white porcelain soup bowl with a lid on it.

He asked in surprise:

"Today's meal seems a little different from the past. Why is the bowl so big?"

Xuan Si, who had been waiting nearby and was faintly excited, immediately said, "Your Highness, please open it and take a look. We are also very curious."

"Oh? You seem to have known something for a long time."

Qing Yi wanted to cover his face. This youngest kid really couldn't hold anything in his heart! He must have been so depressed after enduring for so many days. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and smooth things over:

"The fourth brother has always been a greedy person with a keen nose. He probably smelled the food all the way here. Your Highness, please enjoy your meal. We will withdraw first."

In the blink of an eye, the four disappeared without a trace, and they did not forget to close the door when they left. Xuanyuan Yan lifted the lid of the soup bowl with doubt.

There was no delicacies or exotic food as he thought, just ordinary hand-rolled noodles. The only rare thing was the slices of beef on the noodles.

Beef on the market is extremely precious. Only old cows or cows that died accidentally are allowed to be slaughtered. Ordinary people may never have the chance to eat it in their entire lives.

Then there is the green coriander sprinkled on top, which is probably a new way of eating it that the girl came up with.

Xuanyuan Yan leaned in to smell it, and the fresh fragrance of coriander immediately penetrated his nose, mixing with the aroma of beef and surprisingly fitting.

It was not until he scooped up the noodles with chopsticks that he realized that there seemed to be only one noodle in the bowl! He couldn't help but stand up with the noodles in his hand, but even when he raised his arms high, he still couldn't scoop the whole noodle out of the bowl.

What else is there to be confused about? This is clearly a bowl of longevity noodles. He actually forgot his birthday completely! Qing Yi and the others probably asked the kitchen to make it in advance. They were thoughtful.

When he put the noodles into his mouth, he found that there was something special in the noodles. It must be the bone soup that had been boiled for a long time, which made the noodles taste so delicious. The cook must have been very attentive.

After the meal, he did not forget to tell Xuan Si to give some silver to the cook who made the noodles. After hearing this, Xuan Si smiled constipatedly, and no one knew what was wrong with him.

The open space outside the house has now become a martial arts training ground. The ground is very flat and you can see half of the village at a glance. At this time, Shangguan Qingyue and Xiao Shitou have already arrived and are working hard in horse stance, with sweat on their foreheads.

Xuanyuan Yan, who was already in a good mood, showed a satisfied smile on his face, and his voice was a little softer than usual.

"Morning, sir!"

The big and the small greeted each other in unison. The pale golden morning light sprinkled on them, and coupled with the light mist around them, Xuanyuan Yan was dazzled for a moment.

He felt as if he had dreamed of this scene before, familiar and warm...
