The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 165 Gu Changgeng's Birthday

Uncle Gu nodded, "It is the young master's birthday in three days, but..."

Lin Qingqian asked, "But what?"

Uncle Gu looked a little sad, and said in a low voice: "Since the accident in the General's Mansion, the young master has not celebrated his birthday. On birthdays, the old slave made a bowl of noodles, and the young master ate it without saying a word."

Lin Qingqian's heart suddenly seemed to be pricked by a needle.

After Gu Bo left, Lin Qingqian was silent in her thoughts.

For Gu Changgeng's birthday, no matter what, what should she give?
What can I give?
If you talk about the purse and other things you made yourself, then forget about it, not to mention that her female celebrity is in a mess, and Gu Changgeng's birthday is three days away, so there is not enough time.

Thinking deeply, Gu Changgeng came out of the study after listening to the teacher's lecture, and walked behind Lin Qingqian. Seeing her frowning and preoccupied, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Qingqian let out an "ah", turned her head to look at Gu Changgeng who was wearing a light blue robe and had a warm demeanor behind her, blinked her eyes before realizing it, and said with a dry smile, "No...it's nothing, Brother Chang Geng, you came out. Has the teacher finished his lecture?"

"Well, it's over."

"Are the books Mr. taught difficult? Brother Chang Geng memorized them all?"

Gu Changgeng glanced at Lin Qingqian, and replied, "Well, it's not too difficult, do you have something to ask me?"

Lin Qingqian touched her face subconsciously.

Is all her thoughts written on her face?Otherwise, why would Gu Changgeng be able to see through her heart at a glance.

Lin Qingqian nodded and asked, "Um...Brother Chang Geng, do you have anything you want?"

"What do you want?"

"That's right, it's like you want a sword, you want a book...do you have it?"

Gu Changgeng looked at Lin Qingqian with inexplicable eyes, and said lightly, "No."

"I'm just making an analogy. Brother Chang Geng, think again, you really don't have anything you want? It's not limited to swords or books, other things are also fine."

Gu Changgeng lowered his eyes, a thoughtful expression appeared on his handsome face.

After a while, he said invariably: "No."

Lin Qingqian: "..."

Lin Qingqian fully doubted that Gu Changgeng, who lived such a life without desires, would really become a powerful regent in the future?Isn't it to find a quiet temple to become a monk?

Gu Changgeng asked again suspiciously: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Lin Qingqian smiled, and said perfunctorily: "It's nothing, I just asked casually... Well, it's too hot in the yard, brother Chang Geng, let's go back to the house."

Gu Changgeng thought about it, although he felt strange, but he couldn't think of anything strange, so he gave up thinking about it and nodded slightly, "Well, let's go in."

……

At night, in Liuyuan, Lin Qingqian's bedroom.

Lin Qingqian lay on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about what to give Gu Changgeng for his birthday, from books to jade pendants, etc... She thought about it all.

Then Lin Qingqian discovered that there was really nothing that Gu Changgeng wanted.

So she thought about Lin Qingqian all night, and fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were covered with bruises, which surprised everyone in Chun Xia and Qiu Dong.

Chun Xia said: "But the weather is too hot, Miss can't sleep well? Why don't the servants come over to fan you tonight?"

Lin Qingqian yawned, and said drowsily: "No... I was just thinking, brother Chang Geng's birthday will be in a few days, what should I give him?"

Chun Xia pondered for a while, and said: "My servant saw that Steward Fu bought a jade pendant to hang around his waist. It looks pretty, why don't you go out of the house and buy a jade pendant to give to Young Master Gu?"

Lin Qingqian shook her head and said, "No, Brother Chang Geng always wears the jade pendant that General Gu left him before he was alive. He would never wear anything else. It would be a waste to buy it."

"That's true."

So the master and servant fell into deep thought again.

Lin Qingqian once imagined that she could make a birthday cake for Gu Changgeng by herself, after all, she is good at modern pastries.

But after thinking about it, this ancient gift-giving pays attention to morals, and the birthday cake seems not solemn. Besides, there should be no cakes like cakes in ancient times.

The pitch-black eyeballs rolled around a few times, his eyes lit up, Lin Qingqian said: "I thought of it! Let's serve Chang Geng brother a bowl of longevity noodles with my own hands!"

"Give the next bowl of Changshou noodles to Mr. Gu? Isn't it a little...too stingy, miss?"

Thinking of sister Qiudong's birthday, she also gave her a pair of silver earrings.

Lin Qingqian glanced at Chun Xia, and said angrily, "Courtesy is less important than affection, what do you know... Besides, this is longevity noodles made by myself, isn't it more expensive than those vulgar objects of gold, silver and jewelry?"

Chunxia wanted to say, she really didn't understand, how could a bowl of noodles be more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry?
But she didn't dare to refute Lin Qingqian's words, so she had no choice but to agree: "Yes, Miss is right. The longevity noodles made by Miss are much more valuable than these gold and silver jewels!"

Only then did Lin Qingqian smile in satisfaction.

……

As time goes by, three days are fleeting.

Twenty in the sky, Gu Changgeng's birthday.

In the afternoon, Lin Qingqian brought the ingredients to Liyuan.

Uncle Gu opened the courtyard door and saw that Lin Qingqian had come, he said with a smile, "Miss San is here, the young master is reading in the study now, you can go directly to him."

But Lin Qingqian shook her head and said, "I'm not going to look for Brother Chang Geng yet, I'll go to the small kitchen in the backyard. I don't need Uncle Gu to prepare today's dinner, I'll just come."

"Miss San, do you want to cook yourself?"

"That's right, today is brother Chang Geng's birthday, I want to make him a bowl of longevity noodles myself."

Uncle Gu was shocked, but also panicked: "How can this be possible, Miss San is a rich man, why not be an old slave..."

"It's okay. In my eyes, Brother Chang Geng is the elder brother. It's normal for me to make a bowl of longevity noodles for him on his birthday."

Uncle Gu was very moved, "This old slave thanked the third miss on behalf of the young master."

"Why don't Uncle Gu and me see each other? Well, I'll go to the small kitchen to prepare longevity noodles. You don't have to disturb Brother Chang Geng's reading. After I'm done, I'll take it to the study to find him."

"Okay, Miss San, this old slave knows."

Lin Qingqian nodded with a smile, led Chunxia into the Liyuan, and walked to the small kitchen at the back with ease.

Arriving in the small kitchen, Lin Qingqian lamented that it was not easy to make a bowl of longevity noodles. This is not a modern place, and you can’t use ready-made noodles to make it. You still need to knead the noodles by yourself. Now her body is only 12 years old, and she is delicate. Miss Qianjin, kneading dough is really a physical job.

Seeing that Lin Qingqian's forehead was covered with beads of sweat and she was panting from exhaustion, Chun Xia couldn't help but said: "Miss, why don't you let this servant help you."

Lin Qingqian immediately said firmly: "No! I have to do it all by myself, so that I can show my intentions. If you want to help, please help me light the fire. I'll have noodles in a while."

Chun Xia tried to persuade her twice, but Lin Qingqian was determined not to let her go, so she could only give up and go obediently to help light the fire.
