Chapter 170
Fu Beimo regarded the flute as a treasure, stuffed it in his arms, and murmured in a low voice: "Sister-in-law is my biological sister-in-law, but my brother is not close enough."
Wan Niang smiled and said: "How can I remember to give you a birthday gift every time you have a birthday? Didn't I give you enough in previous years?"
Fu Nanyao pursed her lips and smiled. After smiling enough, she said, "Mom, we are happy. If you are happy, just talk about it. Brother will not be angry today."
Fu Ciyi raised his hand and pointed at the siblings: "Just wait."
After saying that, he went back to his room and got a gift. It was a pair of seals, with the names of the sister and brother respectively engraved on them.
Fu Nanyao held the seal and couldn't put it down: "Brother, when did you get it?"
Fu Ciyi said quietly: "We are still meeting at the village school."
Carved in my spare time.
Everyone was gathering together, but Ali kept standing in the corner of the room, his right hand stuffed into the sleeve of his left hand, hesitating and not daring to come forward.
Fu Nanyao glanced at him inadvertently: "Ali, what are you doing standing there alone?"
"I can't give a gift, just..." He lowered his head and summoned up the courage to take out the wooden doll hidden in his sleeve, "This is the Miss Nanyao I carved. It doesn't look like the carving, so I really can't hold it. Take action. If Miss Nan Yao doesn't dislike it, please accept it!"
Fu Beimo snatched it away: "What about mine?"
"I only carved Miss Nan Yao's." Ali said honestly, "I didn't carve yours."
"Not to mention, my round face looks like my sister's." Fu Beimo smiled, "It's okay, we are good brothers. I don't mind at all if you don't give me a gift."
Then he gave the wooden doll to Fu Nanyao.
Fu Nanyao happily took it: "It's really similar."
Ali was very happy to see that she liked her unexpectedly.
"Thank you Ali!" Fu Nanyao walked up to Ali and found scabs on his fingers. "Did the sculptured doll suffer any injuries?"
"It's okay, everything is almost healed." He put his hands behind his back.
Fu Nanyao grabbed his hand and looked at it carefully. She was sure that it was almost healed, so she felt relieved.
Ali's face was red and his head hung lower, for fear of being seen.
Yan Funing smiled and shook her head, then walked to the west wing to get the candies and preserves she bought yesterday.
When Mother Li saw Ali giving gifts and being pulled by the hand, she bumped her son with her elbow angrily, as if to say: Ali is so good at doing things, why can't you?
Li Xinheng had no choice but to look sideways at Fu Ciyi and said, "Master, I have something to tell you."
Fu Ciyi thought he had something important to do, so he left the hall with him.
In fact, Li Xinheng wanted to avoid his mother's silent blame.
The two of them stood in the courtyard. Li Xinheng lowered his voice and said, "Master, I might have mistaken my mind yesterday. I thought the gift the girl prepared was for you."
I didn’t expect that there was no husband at all.
Fu Ciyi's voice was cold: "It doesn't matter."
It's nothing more than a gift, and he is not a child.
Their conversation was overheard by Yan Funing, who was in the west wing just now.
She took the candy and candied fruit for a moment, and it turned out that there was something else going on.
She just said that she seemed to have seen what they were talking about in the restaurant yesterday.
After Fu Ciyi and Li Xinheng returned to the main room, Yan Funing passed by after a while.
When the auspicious time came, Fu Nanyao performed a simple hairpin ceremony under the witness of his family and the Li family's mother and son.
After the ceremony was completed, Yan Funing invited everyone to eat candies and candied fruits.
Outside the fence, Mrs. Ding next door began to say harsh words again: "After all, it's the city people's style. When celebrating a 15th birthday, you have to give birth to hair extensions."
In the hall, everyone's expressions dropped after hearing this.
Li's mother was about to speak out, but when she thought that her master had not spoken yet, she held it back and said to Wan Niang, "Sister Wan Niang, please don't be angry. We don't see each other like others on this big day."
Wan Niang nodded: "Don't be angry, don't be angry."
If she wanted to confront the other party, she would have to change her date.
Today, you must not let others ruin your family's good mood.
Yan Fu Ning took a candy, walked to the fence, and said with a light smile: "Aunt Ding, please eat a candy." Aunt Ding stuffed the candy into her mouth, immediately had a smile on her face, changed her tune and said loudly: "Nanyao The longer the girl grows, the more beautiful she becomes, and she will definitely find a good husband."
In the hall, Mother Li patted Wan Niang on the back of her hand: "Your daughter-in-law is really rare!" - It is night, and the moon hangs high.
In the west wing, the couple finished writing.
When Fu Ciyi was about to wash up, Yan Funing stopped him: "I didn't mention the gift yesterday, mainly because I didn't want Nan Yao Beimo to know about it in advance."
Fu Ciyi paused.
In her opinion, he can't keep a secret? "You are Nan Yao Bei Mo's brother. I'm afraid you will tell them if you know I bought them gifts. Even you are hiding this." Yan Funing explained softly.
How did he know that Li Xinheng would think that she bought it for him?
Fu Ciyi moved his jaw. Sure enough, in her eyes, he was someone who couldn't keep secrets.
Seeing that he remained silent, thinking that she had to stroke him, she added: "I will give you a big gift when you are weak."
After a slight pause, she asked: "By the way, when did you lose your crown?"
"It was written in the marriage contract you tore up."
Fu Ciyi's voice was cold.
Yan Funing was startled.
I saw him taking out a brocade box from the side cabinet under the desk and taking out a marriage letter.
His birthday and her birthday are recorded on it.
His birthday is on October [-]th.
Her birthday is on the eighth day of December.
According to the year, they are four years apart.
Yan Funing pursed her lips: "I'm sorry, I didn't know before."
When I first saw him after traveling back in time, I thought he was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy.
According to the book, he is four years older than her and is now nineteen, which is just like in reality.
However, his specific birthday was not mentioned in the book, so she didn't know.
Only now did she know his birthday clearly.
Fu Ciyi's face was expressionless and his voice was cold: "You were illiterate before."
Even if she was literate, since she chose to withdraw from his marriage, she would naturally not care about when his birthday was, let alone read the marriage certificate carefully.
Yan Funing explained again: "My mother mentioned Nan Yao Bei Mo's birthday before, so I remembered it."
Sound like a mosquito.
Fu Ciyi felt empty after hearing these words.
Their birthdays were only mentioned once by their mother, but she did remember them.
The feeling that his face was trampled hard by her feet when she broke off the engagement resurfaced again.
Yan Funing leaned over and read the marriage certificate again.
Just as he was about to pick it up and take a closer look, he snatched it away.
"You want to tear it apart again?"
Fu Ciyi carefully placed the marriage certificate and locked the brocade box.
"I won't tear it up anymore."
There was a hint of nasal in her voice, delicate and frail, as if she was extremely afraid of him.
Fu Ciyi was irritated for no reason. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Don't think too much about it. The marriage document was written by my grandfather. I only keep the marriage document because I want to keep my grandfather's calligraphy."
It's not because this is his marriage certificate to her.
Yan Funing pursed her lips: "I understand, this is my grandfather's thought for you."
Why did Yan Funing tear up the marriage certificate? Just break off the engagement and return the marriage certificate to him.
He has to keep his grandfather's calligraphy treasure! It was better now, and the guilt in my heart added another layer.
