126. Chapter 126 The Thrilling Birthday Ceremony 2
My three senior brothers—the ninth senior brother—were blessed this time and were actually present, standing outside the door to look at me.
When the Ninth Senior Brother saw me "tsk tsk" twice, the Fifth Senior Brother and the Tenth Senior Brother were both slightly stunned for a moment, and then quickly straightened their expressions.
Hehe... I, Ye Rong, am indeed stunning!
I was secretly happy for a while, and I remembered something big - today is my birthday, and they... were empty-handed?
I angrily threw up my sleeves, left the three senior brothers outside the door, and turned around.
On the other hand, Senior Brother Xiaobai was very polite and politely let the three of them into Fuliyuan.
As soon as I entered the room, the tenth senior brother pulled me and took out a slender brocade box from his sleeve, "Little junior sister, you were ill last year on your birthday, so we couldn't do our best. This year you are lucky enough to have a hairpin, so we can't be careless.
.I see that your calligraphy and paintings are all outstanding, so you may be able to use this item." With that, the tenth senior brother opened the box.
Humph, this is somewhat conscientious!
I poked my head around and saw that lying in the box were a row of various brushes from small to large. Of course, this was no ordinary box of brushes. I looked at the clear body of the brush and it should be a suet-fat white jade rod.
I happily accepted it, "Well, Senior Brother Ten is still considerate!"
Senior Brother Ninth crossed his legs and yelled from the side: "Xiao Shi'er, why have you stolen all the limelight? Come on, go outside and bring the bathtub in!"
The tenth senior brother walked out and said angrily: "You know how to order me!"
But, a bathtub?
Before I could figure it out, suddenly, a fragrance filled the room. I turned around and saw the fifth senior brother also opening a brocade box, "This is fragrant blood Ganoderma lucidum. Danyang specially asked me to use it to replenish your health."
Blood Ganoderma is extremely rare, and this Fragrant Blood Ganoderma is the best among the best. When the late emperor was still alive, Concubine Su was the most favored in the world. I heard that in that year, the late Emperor wanted to ask for a fragrant Blood Ganoderma to replenish her body, but he didn't get one.
.
I quickly gave in and said humbly: "Fifth Senior Brother, this gift from you and Danyang is too generous..."
The fifth senior brother said nothing and just thrust the brocade box into my hand. I accepted it with embarrassment.
The tenth senior brother raised his voice in the courtyard: "Little junior sister, come quickly and take a look at where the bathtub will be placed?"
By the way, the bathtub!
I hurried out of the embroidery room and took a look. I was stunned -
Ouch, this bathtub is as long as two arms and as tall as half a person. The most amazing thing is that it is dug from golden nanmu.
Senior Brother Ninth pointed at the bathtub proudly and said: "Little Junior Sister, this bathtub is not bad. I specially asked someone to pick a nanmu tree that is over 300 years old. If you take a bath in this basin from now on, you will surely prolong your life..."
My Ninth Senior Brother, aren’t you afraid that Junior Sister I will drown in this bathtub?
It seemed that I had to go out to a separate room to take a shower, so I directed my tenth senior brother to move this terrifying bathtub into the west wing.
Everyone gave gifts. I looked at Senior Brother Xiaobai eagerly, but he coughed lightly and said, "I have to give this gift to you in private."
Brother Ninth glanced at the two of us and whistled very rudely.
Immediately, my face turned red.
It was pointless for me, a young lady, to live in the same room with four men. I thought that the scenery of Jingshui Lake was beautiful and warm, so after talking for a while, I and the rest of the group happily moved to the Sifang Pavilion.
.
After the food was laid out and the wine was poured, Senior Brother Ninth was a little excited. He raised his wine glass and said to me: "Little Junior Sister, come and play a song to cheer us up!"
Someone over there has already laid out a lyre.
Hey, today, I, Ye Rong, have a happy occasion, so I want you to wait and see my good ability to play the piano!
I stepped forward happily, sat down behind the piano dignifiedly and gracefully, smiled brightly at the brothers, and lightly brushed the silk strings with my fingertips...
