The next day, March 3rd, was Su Wan's seventeenth birthday.
When she knew that Li Lin's birthday was not celebrated before, she knew that after she married him, it would be the same. In the future, they would just spend each other's birthday together.
For someone with their status, celebrating a birthday is really laborious, and the people below have to go to great lengths to prepare birthday gifts. Just like the birthdays of the emperor, queen mother, and empress in the palace, they are worshiped by hundreds of officials and wives, and receive gifts from various families. gift
The Li family doesn't need to show off their identity, and they don't care about that. It's better to let everyone be in peace, do whatever they need to do, and don't give gifts to anyone, and don't come to anyone.
At this time, it is more heartwarming to be accompanied by family members.
He made longevity noodles for her, ate noodles with her, and then gave her a painting, in which she was still the person in the painting.
It was a season of long spring. Spring returned to the world, and flowers bloomed all over the mountains. She walked among the flowers, the breeze blew, and her long sleeves fluttered.
Like a fairy from heaven falling to earth.
This was the scene when she went up the mountain with him to enjoy the scenery earlier.
Su Wan liked this painting very much. At their status, they had no shortage of money and countless treasures in their hands. No matter how precious the gift was, nothing could compare to the painting he painted for her.
Although she already has several paintings he drew for her, each one has a different meaning and she likes them all.
She thought that when she gets old, she can still take it out and recall these bits and pieces, or leave them to future generations so that they can know the feelings between him and her.
For this birthday, Su Wan only asked the kitchen to add two delicious dishes, but otherwise he went on as usual.
A few days later, Lin Zhitong's transfer order came down. Because he had been prepared, he packed up his things in just two days and took his family to Lanzhou City.
The key to the house was delivered to Ji Yunpu, and he hired someone to repair it and prepare some missing furniture, planning to move in as soon as possible.
On the sixth day of March, classes at Stone Bridge Academy reopened. Li Lin went to teach at Stone Bridge Academy and brought with him the students who had just enrolled in the past two years. Li Fu also enrolled with him and went to classes at Stone Bridge Academy.
Li Lin wanted him to go through the journey of life again in the normal order, treating the so-called past life as a dream.
Su Wan asked someone to invite a lady from Guiyan City to teach her how to dance.
She would definitely not be able to do too intense exercise, but if she moved around more on weekdays, the amount of exercise would indeed be less. She had thought about asking Li Lin to teach her martial arts, but she couldn't persist. After thinking about it, she felt that practicing Dancing is more suitable.
It can build a good figure and strengthen the body, and it is also within the range that she can accept.
So dance practice was added to her days, and she set aside an hour every afternoon to practice dance.
At the end of March, it was the time to pick Qingming tea. Su Wan also took several girls from his family to the tea garden to pick tea. There were also some old tea trees in the Li family, not many, only a dozen or so, one year old. The tea leaves picked are just enough for one year's drinking.
People here in Shiqiao Village like to drink tea, especially in summer. They boil a pot of water every day and add tea leaves to make tea soup. This is the drinking water for that day.
There are no special techniques, but the water has a little more flavor and is better to drink than water.
Some people add heat-clearing and heat-relieving herbs when making tea. Drinking a bowl of cooled tea in summer will make your whole body feel comfortable.
Su Wan also asked someone to pick some herbs and fry them together for tea. After they were fried, he tried to drink some. It was really good to drink them cold. If you put them in well water to cool for half a day, drinking them in summer would make you feel comfortable all over. .
But by then, she would definitely not dare to drink too much.
It was at this time that Li Lin received a letter from the Imperial City, written by the emperor himself.
It explained that he intended to let the Ninth Prince inherit the throne. However, the Ninth Prince was still young and needed guidance. He wanted Li Lin to help teach the Ninth Prince a thing or two. However, he did not need Li Lin to spend too much thought. He would only give occasional guidance. , just let him not learn to be bad.
He also gave conditions and promised that the Jinning Palace would be stable for a hundred years.
Li Lin was a little moved. He really didn't want the world to be in chaos, and he really didn't want to care about the change of dynasties. But if there was someone who could help him up and give a country a future, he would still be willing to help.
For example, Qin Zangshu.
If it is true that no one can sit in that position, then he will just ignore it and fight to see who wins. After that, a new dynasty will be established and the dynasty will change.
He also knew some things about Dong Zhao from Li Fu. Although King An was deposed and could no longer be emperor, the two of them seemed to be incompetent now. King Sui was ruthless and unreasonable. If he came to power, , eradicating dissidents is inevitable.
If King Ming comes to power, the result may be the same as that of King Na'an.
In this case, it would be better to take a look at this little one. If he can learn well, secure his position in Dong Zhao, and become a good emperor, that would actually be good.
Moreover, the conditions given by the emperor also made him very excited.
Su Wan also cares about the two families, Jinning Duke's Mansion and Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion. According to the capabilities of Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion, there is no need for him to take care of them. However, Jinning Duke's Mansion is lacking something. Now Jinning Gong and his wife are still paying attention. Well, if these two are no longer here, it’s actually hard to say.
If he gets the blessing of the royal family, Su Wan will feel more at ease when he leaves with him in the future.
Li Lin discussed this matter with Su Wan: "Dongjun wanted to send the Ninth Prince here, so I thought, since they are all teaching, it doesn't hurt to have one more person, and I am also teaching Ah Fu, so Duo One also needs to be taught.”
Su Wan was slightly surprised: "I remember you refused before?"
"If I were asked to follow the teachings of the descendants of the Li family, I would naturally not agree to it, but it is still okay to give him a few pointers. It would actually be great to let him study with Afu."
"Besides, this condition is quite good, and you can feel more at ease in the future."
It's not that he is unwilling to protect the stability of Duke Ning's Mansion, but he will be far away from him in the future, and he is a minister of Dong Zhao. There is not much he can do to help. If he can get a promise from the royal family, as long as Duke Ning's Mansion does not commit any crime, Even the most unforgivable mistakes can be done safely.
As for whether he or Su Wan would be gone in the next hundred years, he couldn't control what kind of future they could earn.
Su Wan thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. If the Jinning Palace could be stable, she would be able to feel more at ease. If she left with him in the future, she wouldn't have to worry all the time.
"You agreed to take Afu as your apprentice, but what about him?"
Li Lin pondered for a while: "Let's see, if he really wants to worship me, it doesn't matter if he accepts it. With this relationship in the future, it will be more secure."
