The second day after returning from Prince Xiang's Mansion was Lin Jinyan and Lin Jinan's ninth birthday, which was not organized as in previous years.
The General's Mansion sent each person two birthday gifts. The old man, the old lady, and Lin Siyuan also prepared gifts for the two of them. Starting today, Lin Siyuan gave Lin Jin'an three days' leave.
After Lin Jinan and Lin Jinyan had dinner at Songmaotang in the morning, Lin Jinan stayed in Yan Yuxuan all day, accompanying Lin Jinyan to look at the account books and listening to her talk about the arrangements in the shop and the village.
"Yan'er can do whatever she wants. It was originally left by mother. When we grow up, even if my brother doesn't want it, it will be left to Yan'er."
Lin Jinyan asked: "Brother, why don't you want it? That was what my mother left for the two of us? It should be divided equally."
Lin Jinan's fleshy smile was full of seriousness.
"I am an elder brother and a man, so naturally I should protect my sister. It is a man's duty to start a family and start a business, how can I let my sister support me?"
Lin Jinyan couldn't help but feel sour when she thought of all Lin Jinan's actions in her previous life, just like what he said.
"My brother protects my sister, so why don't I want to protect my brother..."
In the evening, Lin Siyuan and Lin Yanqing both returned to their homes. Dinner was served at Songmao Hall, and Lin Wanrong and Zhou Yuexue were also there.
The family had a happy meal. Zhou Yuexue took out the purse she made and gave it to Lin Jinyan and Lin Jinan.
The old lady praised her for a while, and Zhou Yuexue looked shy and repeatedly said that her embroidery was not good.
"My female celebrity is too ordinary. I just want to express my gratitude. It's hard for my younger brothers and sisters not to dislike me. My aunt, please stop praising me."
Lin Jinyan saw with sharp eyes that Lin Wanrong was clearly about to take out something, but was interrupted by Zhou Yuexue who rushed to deliver the purse first.
"Sister Wanrong, have you prepared a gift for me too?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong's face suddenly turned red, and she nervously took out the gift and handed it to Lin Jinyan.
"I...I also showed off my purse, but it's just not as beautiful as my cousin's embroidery, so I can't show it."
Lin Jinyan smiled and took the purse. The embroidery work was indeed not as exquisite as Zhou Yuexue's one, nor as exquisite as that one.
Lin Jinyan put down Zhou Yuexue's one, took the purse embroidered by Lin Wanrong in her hand and smiled.
"Who says it doesn't look good? I think it looks good. This is the first time Sister Wanrong has given me a gift. You made it yourself. I like it very much. Thank you sister."
Lin Wanrong's eyes lit up: "Really? Do you really like Yan'er?"
Lin Jinyan smiled brightly: "Of course it's true."
Lin Wanrong's embarrassment disappeared with Lin Jinyan's smile, and the two sisters looked at each other and smiled.
Zhou Yuexue on the side saw that although the smile on her face did not diminish, the handkerchief in her hand was holding a seal.
Everyone sat together to discuss how to leave the city to Fanyin Temple tomorrow, and sorted out the people, clothes, and other items they would bring with them.
Lin Siyuan said that he would not be able to leave due to the inspection of the academy tomorrow and would go to the temple to pick everyone up the next day.
After the discussion, everyone went back to the hospital to clean up.
Guier complained to Lin Wanrong while packing her clothes.
"Ms. Biao obviously asked you a few days ago what kind of birthday gift you want to give her. She also knows that you want to give it to your wallet. Why does she have to pick the same gift today? Is it good to show that she is a female celebrity?"
Lin Wanrong said dullly: "No matter what my cousin is doing, it's enough that Yan'er believes me or not."
"Fortunately, the young lady is relatively friendly to you, so I didn't let my cousin succeed."
When Lin Wanrong heard this, a faint smile appeared on her face: I'm pretty.
