Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He looked at Ming Zhiyan, who was completely different from two years ago in the Capital, and sighed. It seed that the emperor was right to send him here. It had only been a short while, but he had already lost his usual sinister appearance. If the people in the capital saw his current appearance, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
Initially, many people had guessed that he would be completely crippled after coming here. Who would have thought that he would encounter such a great opportunity after coming here? Not to ntion other things, just the high yield of grain alone would guarantee his smooth official career. He was a little envious when he saw this.
After everyone was ready, Ming Zhiyan took the lead and set off in an imposing manner.
The ten or so youths around the corner looked at each other and said, “Let’s go, follow them.’
No one in the Jian family knew that soone was coming because of them. At this mont, the family was singing a birthday song for Jian Qingqing and Xiao Hu. This song had been sung to them on their family’s birthday, so now everyone knew how to sing it.
Jian Qingqing and Xiao Hu were twins, so they made two cakes as well. At this mont, Xiao Hu had an excited smile on his face. This was the first ti he had a cake that belonged exclusively to him.
After the family finished singing the birthday song, the two made a wish and blew out the candles together.
Xiao Lang cheered, “Oh! It’s ti to eat the cake!”
Jian Qingqing divided the cake into eight portions and gave the first piece to mother Jian. She said softly, “Mother, eat the first piece of cake. Thank you for bringing us into this world. The day I was born was the day you felt the most pain. You’ve worked hard.”
She only found out after learning dicine from Wei Wusheng. In this era, it was rare for twins to grow up safely. Usually, before they were born, they would suffocate to death in the mother’s body. It could be said that there were one corpse and three lives. Even if they were lucky enough to be born, the children of twins were malnourished and weak. They would not live long.
On the other hand, Jian Qingqing was very skinny when she was born. It did not take much effort for Mother Jian to raise her.
Mother Jian was so touched that she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and took a bite of the cake. “Mother was the happiest when she gave birth to the two of you. She did not feel tired at all.”
Xiao Hu also quickly cut open his own cake and took a piece for Mother Jian.
“Mother, there’s still ! I love you too!”
Mother Jian patted his head and smiled. “I understand.”
At this mont, there was a knock on the door. Everyone was stunned. Old Man Jian asked, “Big sister, Xiao Hu, are they your friends? Then invite them in to eat the cake.”
Xiao Hu thought that his classmates had co to play with him, so he excitedly ran to open the door.
“I’m coming, I’m coming! Wait a minute!”
The mont he opened the door, the smile on his face imdiately froze.
There was a group of tall soldiers standing outside. Each of them looked extrely majestic.
He was familiar with none of them, except for the leader, Ming Zhiyan.
He said timidly, “Big Brother Ming, why are you here?”
Ming Zhiyan asked gently, “Are all the family mbers here?”
Xiao Hu nodded and hurriedly pushed open the door. “Please co in. We’re celebrating our birthday.”
After saying that, he quickly ran in and shouted, “Grandfather! Father and mother! There are guests here!”
Old Man Jian was puzzled and walked out. “Who’s here?”
Jian Dalang, Jian Qingqing, and the others followed him out.
Ming Zhiyan was walking in front. When he saw Old Man Jian, he said, “Grandfather Jian.”
Old Man Jian said cheerfully, “It’s Zhiyan. Why did you bring so many people? Co, co, co. Please co in. We’re eating. Have you eaten? If you haven’t eaten, I’ll ask Dalang to make it for you..”
