Chapter 171 Birthday Gift

Haiman was so nervous that he held his breath.

The man in black was more nervous than her. He held her arm and pressed it down involuntarily. His eyes were fixed on the door, and his feet unconsciously moved forward, ready to attack at any time.

The crack in the door became bigger and bigger, revealing the kind-looking face of Grandpa Cui, "Girl, sweet potato..." Before he finished speaking, he found that the situation in the room was wrong. He was shocked and shook his hands. Two roasted black sweet potatoes rolled down from their hands and fell to the ground one after another and fell into mud, with a sweet smell. Open up.

Hyman did not dare to make a sound and motioned Grandpa Cui to go out quickly to call people, but after seeing his moment of surprise, his eyes were a little strange. He was not afraid at all, but very gentle. He clearly saw the eyes of acquaintances.

And when Grandpa Cui appeared, the man in black also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his arm on her shoulder was subconsciously relaxed. Obviously, this person also knew Grandpa Cui.

Who is this man in black? What is the relationship with Grandpa Cui?

"Qian'er, let that girl go, she is someone I know!" As Hyman was guessing, he heard Cui Gong speak publicly and called very kindly.

The man in black seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still let go of Hyman, but still stared at her with vigilance.

Grandpa Cui closed the door and explained to Haiman, who was a little puzzled, "Girl, did you scare you? He is not a bad guy, he is my son!"

Hyman was a little surprised and suddenly realized that the man in black wanted to call him "Dad" when he entered the house.

"Dad!" The man in black frowned, with a tone of dissent and stopping.

"This girl is fine. She won't tell anyone." Eou Cui looked at Hyman with a smile. He had only known her for two or three hours, and he didn't know where this determination and trust came from.

When the man in black heard what he said, his cold expression eased a little, and his eyes also withdrew.

"Why did you run into the palace again? What if you are regarded as an assassin? Duke Cui scolded him, but his tone was full of unconcealed love, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Don't open your eyes, "It's nothing. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you a little, so I'll come to see you!"

Hyman saw the dodge in his eyes.

"In this case, you can ask someone to bring a letter. If I go out of the palace to see you, why do you have to venture into the palace?" Grandpa Cui sighed slightly, "It's also my fault. I haven't had time to go out of the palace, and I haven't seen you for months. It's rare to come here. Sit down. There are still two sweet potatoes in the stove. I'll bring them to you..."

"No, it's good to see you. It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. I have to leave the palace as soon as possible. Dad, take care of yourself. I'm leaving!"

Grandpa Cui didn't keep him, "Go, be careful!"

"Good!" The man in black promised to nod his head slightly and said goodbye. He got up and walked to the door. He reached out to open the door, but stopped again, "Dad, there is something I want to ask you!"

"What's the matter?"

"I heard..." He opened his mouth, but stopped talking, "It's okay, I'm leaving!" After saying that, he opened the door and quickly dodged out.

Eunuch Cui hurriedly followed him out and saw him out of the tea room. Several ups and downs disappeared in the night before turning back. I carefully cleaned up the broken sweet potatoes on the ground, took two good ones in, sat opposite Hyman, and skinned them carefully. "That child is my adopted adopted son. I wanted him to be my companion or something. But he didn't have the heart to let him be a palace man like me. After ruining his life, he sent him out of the palace and raised by others. In fact, I haven't seen him many times for so many years. Speaking of which, I'm not a father.

"But he still regards you as a father, doesn't he?" Hyman comforted him with regret in his tone.

"Yes, that child is filial and always remembers me. When I grew up, I learned martial arts and occasionally sneaked into the palace to see me. But every time it's the same as today, I can't say a word and leave again, alas!"

No matter in his previous life or now, Hyman's relatives are very shallow. He hasn't experienced much family affection and doesn't know how to answer. I think Grandpa Cui doesn't need to say anything. He is just too lonely and wants to talk to him. Then he didn't say anything more. While doing his work, he listened to Grandpa Cui and occasionally echoed to him.

Someone talked with her, but she was not so sleepy. Unconsciously, it was time to open the palace door. The results of this night are very remarkable. The clothes have been sewn up, and there are still some detailed parts left. There are still a few days before the third year of junior high school, and you should be able to finish it when you have time. She hurriedly thanked Grandpa Cui, packed up her things and returned to the washing room.

As soon as she stepped into the yard of the raccoon washing room, she met Jing's aunt. She hurriedly said, "Jing aunt, I'm back, thank you..."

"What are you doing standing stupidly? Why don't you pack up and get ready to work?" Before she finished speaking, Jing's aunt interrupted her coldly, as if nothing had happened yesterday.

Hyman knew her temper and didn't take it to heart. He promised to go back to his room to wash and go out to work with everyone.

In the next few days, although there were more clothes sent to the laundry room than usual, they were also much less than a few days ago, and there was more time to rest. Hyman also had time to do needlework, and finally finished Huang Yuejiao's clothes at the beginning.

"It's so beautiful!" Lin Ziqin put her clothes on her body and looked around in front of the mirror, with an envious face, " Yuejiao must be so beautiful when she sees this dress!"

Hyman is also very satisfied with the garment. Originally, he was worried that the fabric was not elegant enough, which would affect the design effect, but after seeing Lin Ziqin put it on, he found that his worries were superfluous. I hope Huang Yuejiao can get what she wants and win the favor of the emperor.

"Qin Sihua, I have something to discuss with you!" Jing's voice sounded outside.

Lin Ziqin shouted casually, "Come in!" Thinking of wearing Huang Yuejiao's clothes, he hurriedly took it off.

Aunt Jing came in and saw the dress. Her eyes lit up and she looked at Haiman with some surprise, "Is this what you did?"

"Yes!" Hyman nodded.

Aunt Jing looked at the clothes a few times, and her expression returned to her previous meticulous smile and blessed Lin Ziqin, "Qin Sihuan, two days will be the birthday of the Empress Dowager. According to the rules in the palace, you are also going to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday. I don't know if you have prepared the gift?"

"Ah?" Lin Ziqin was very surprised, "I'm going too?" Do you still need to prepare a gift?

"Yes!"

Lin Ziqin thought that she had been exiled into the raccoon washing room in disguise. She could not care about things outside the raccoon washing room. Unexpectedly, there was such a thing, and no one told her. For a moment, she was at a loss and looked at Hyman for help, "Sister, what should I do? What kind of gift should I prepare?"

Hyman didn't expect it, and his mood couldn't help but feel heavy. Lin Ziqin went to celebrate his birthday, doesn't that mean he wants to see the emperor? She didn't put down her hatred. If she couldn't control her emotions and rushed up after seeing the emperor, wouldn't something big happen?

Lin Ziqin saw that she didn't answer, but thought about something seriously. She was a little anxious, "Sister, can you help me think about what kind of gift should I prepare?"

"This..." Hyman has never encountered such a thing, and he doesn't know, so he has to ask Jing's advice. "Jing aunt, what do you think should you prepare?"

Gun looked at her and said, "The etiquette is no longer important. It's good to have that thought, but you can't be worse than others. After all, you have an official position."

"Then what do others give?"

"The Empress Dowager's birthday, the people who go to celebrate her birthday are all face-to-faced people, and they will definitely try their best to prepare gifts. No matter how valuable they are. Judging from Qin Siwan's situation, it is impossible to send valuable gifts, so you can only work hard!"

Lin Ziqin is still a little confused, "How to work?"

"There are only so many things I can tell Qin Sihua, and the rest can only be up to you. It's not early. Please rest early. I'll go first!"

Heman hesitated for a moment and went out after Jing's aunt, "Auntie, please keep it!"

"What else do you need?" Jing's aunt stopped and looked at her coldly.

"I want to ask, does Qin Sihuan have to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Jing's eyes and replied, "Yes, she is the female official who leads the raccoon washing room. If she doesn't go to celebrate her birthday, she will be regarded as contempt for the upper hall. Besides, don't you know her best? She was originally a beautiful girl and the adoptive daughter of King Kang Jing of Guangli. The Empress Dowager must remember her. If she doesn't go, what if the Empress Dowager asks?

"Do you have to say that?"

"Well, you have to go! What, don't you want her to go?"

Hyman nodded, "Yes!"

Jinggu frowned doubtfully, but did not ask. She turned around and said, "If you have time to ask me this, you might as well help her prepare a gift." After a pause, "The Empress Dowager's waist is not very good!"

Hyman was slightly stunned, and then understood that Auntie was giving her a hint.

Lin Ziqin thought for a long time and didn't come up with a reason. She was discouraged, "Well, how can I know what the Empress Dowager likes?"

Hyman smiled and said, "Aunt-in-law is right. In your current situation, it is unrealistic to prepare gold, silver, jewelry and so on. You can only send something ingeniously!"

"Ingenious?" Lin Ziqin raised her eyebrows and said, "There are so many people in the palace, coupled with civil and military officials, what else can't be thought of? Even if I have it, I can't afford it. How can I have so much money? If it were the Lin family in the past, all kinds of gifts would be prepared, but now..."

"You don't have money, but don't you have anything else that you absolutely don't have?"

"I have it and others absolutely don't have it? What is that?"

Haman couldn't help laughing when he saw her blank appearance, "Clumsy, it's me!"

Ah? Give you to the Empress Dowager?" Lin Ziqin was surprised.

"You are stupid, you are really stupid. What are you doing for me? Give me the craftsmanship!"

Lin Ziqin suddenly realized and laughed shyly, "I was shocked. I thought my sister was going to send herself out. That is to say, do you want to send clothes to the Empress Dowager?

"What kind of clothes have you seen? What's so ingenious? Besides, it's too late to make clothes. I heard that the Empress Dowager's waist is not good..."

Lin Ziqin's eyes lit up, "Yes, this is good. Let's start doing it quickly!"

"I can do it for you, but you have to promise me a condition!" Hyman looked at her.
