Shen Rong will get married on the sixth day of the lunar month next month. The third day of the lunar month is the old lady's birthday, so she can send her some extra gifts along with her birthday wishes.
But she hasn't decided what to give the old lady as a birthday gift yet.
Shen Wan sat down and drank tea while thinking.
Thinking of something, Shen Wan quickly put down the tea cup, got up and went to the study.
Xie Jingyan was sitting there reading a book, and when he saw Shen Wan coming in, he raised his eyebrows. He thought she wouldn't come if he didn't send a maid to invite her, but she was quite obedient.
The corners of Xie Jingyan's lips raised slightly, and Shen Wan stepped forward and said with a bit of flattery, "Please do me a favor."
Xie Jingyan, "..."
It was indeed too early to be happy.
Xie Jingyan turned his eyes away from the military book and landed on Shen Yuan's face, "What can I do for you?"
Shen Wan said, "Your handwriting is beautiful, please help me write it."
Xie Jingyan put down the book and asked, "What word?"
Shen Wan said, "Old Madam's birthday is coming soon. I'm going to write a picture of a hundred years of life. You can help me write the biggest word 'Longevity' in the middle."
Before, she planned to use gold thread to embroider a picture of a hundred years of longevity. Now that the picture of a hundred years of life was destroyed and she ran out of time, she wrote a picture of a hundred years of longevity instead. Not only did it save money and worry, but the people in the Hou Mansion had nothing to say, and they couldn't afford it. There is sincerity in the embroidery, but there is no sincerity in what she and Xie Jingyan wrote.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan expectantly.
Can Xie Jingyan refuse to agree to such a trivial matter? She had just complimented him on his beautiful handwriting. He said, "Old Madam celebrates her birthday, so you and I should prepare birthday gifts together."
Is this a promise?
Shen Wan was overjoyed, fearing that Xie Jingyan would regret it, so she quickly prepared pen and paper.
Xie Jingyan dipped his pen in ink, and with the pen moving like a dragon and a snake, he wrote the word "Shou" in the center, rushing toward him with majestic momentum.
Looking at the words, Shen Wan felt that her idea was not very good. Xie Jingyan's words should be very valuable...
When the ink dried, Shen Wan took the paper, then went back to the room and wrote another ninety-nine different characters for "longevity".
Shen Wan spread the paper on the table and looked at Xie Jingyan's handwriting. Yinshuang and Haitang were full of praise.
Shen Wan also felt that the birthday gift was so wonderful that she didn't want to give it to the old lady.
After admiring the words for a while, Shen Wan dipped his pen in ink and wrote the word "longevity" according to the previous picture of a hundred years of life. However, he only wrote eighteen. When he was writing the nineteenth, his hand crooked and he couldn't write a single cent. , she hurriedly repaired it, but the more she repaired it, the more ugly the result became.
Shen Wan's heart was bleeding.
Her own writing was discarded, but there was another one that she had begged for.
Yinshuang also asked, "What should I do?"
What else can I do, I can only ask Xie Jingyan again.
Shen Wan walked to the study door bravely, but did not go in.
Xie Jingyan noticed it and was curious as to what made Shen Wan linger so much. He said, "Come in."
Shen Wan hid the paper behind his back before going in.
Xie Jingyan looked at her, "You want to see me if you have anything?"
"Yes, something happened..."
Xie Jingyan said, "What's the matter?"
Shen Wan was so embarrassed that her voice was blurred, "I've finished writing the hundred-year-old picture. Can you write another one for me?"
Xie Jingyan, "..."
He thought it was something difficult, just like this?
I don't know what he thought of, but something flashed in Xie Jingyan's eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "I can write it to you again, but can you guarantee that it won't be scrapped this time?"
She didn't want to write about whether it was scrapped. She had been very careful, but it was still scrapped.
It sounds like he means to give her another chance, and if she wants to waste it, he won't write it for her.
Shen Wan said decisively, "I will be careful this time."
If that doesn't work, she can just exchange it for another birthday gift.
Xie Jingyan saw Shen Wan's thoughts and said, "I'll teach you how to write."
Shen Wan, "...???"
Teach her to write?
It's not like she can't write.
Shen Wan asked curiously, "How do you teach me to write?"
Xie Jingyan didn't say anything, only said, "Come here."
Shen Wan walked over by mistake, and Xie Jingyan gave her the seat. Shen Wan laid out the paper, dipped the pen in ink, and was about to hand it to Xie Jingyan when her hand was suddenly held. At some point, Xie Jingyan stood up. He was standing right behind her, so close that he was almost touching her back.
The wife was so close that Shen Wan's ears felt hot and she quickly said, "Your legs..."
Xie Jingyan supported the desk with his left hand, "I can still hold on even if I only write a few words."
"But--"
"Don't be distracted."
How could she not be distracted by this posture? His breath was all over her neck, making it tickle and numb.
Shen Wan calmed down and let Xie Jingyan hold her hand and write on the paper. After writing the biggest word "longevity", she changed her brush and continued.
After writing the word "longevity" ten times in one breath, Xie Jingyan couldn't stand anymore. He sat on the wheelchair and said, "I can write ten at a time, and I can write it twice a day. Come to me then."
I was embarrassed to death once, and I have to go through it nine more times...
Why did she choose to prepare a 100-year-old birthday picture with him? Shen Wan regretted it so much when it was obvious that she could just spend some money. Could she just stop writing it and get a birthday gift instead?
It's a pity that Shen Wan had the heart but not the courage. She didn't even dare to look back at Xie Jingyan and walked away.
Shen Wan made up his mind not to talk to Xie Jingyan and let the matter of co-writing a hundred-year-old picture go unfinished. Shen Wan thought very well, but usually Xie Jingyan would occasionally let her go to the garden with him and spend most of his time in the study reading. She had to accompany him. Although she didn't have to do anything most of the time, Xie Jingyan often remembered this while reading.
Four days have passed, and only the last ten characters for longevity are left.
Fortunately, there are only the last ten left...
Xie Jingyan urged Shen Wan to write the first ninety words "longevity", and the last ten were written by Shen Wan impatiently.
After breakfast the next day, Xie Jingyan saw that the weather was nice and asked Shen Wan to push him to go to the garden. Shen Wan said, "It's the old lady's birthday in a few days. It will take time to frame it. How about writing the last ten 'birthdays' first?" Zi, should I push you to the garden again?"
Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan with a smile, "Are you so anxious?"
Shen Wan pushed the wheelchair directly to the study room, tidied up the desk, put the 100-year-old picture on it, and then studied ink, finishing it in one go.
After finishing the work, there was someone behind him. Even though it had happened many times, Shen Wan was still not used to it, but fortunately this was the last time.
After writing the last ten "longevity" characters, you're done.
Xie Jingyan held her hand, and the pen moved swiftly. Shen Wan didn't use any force. In Shen Wan's view, this was no different from what Xie Jingyan had written by himself, so it sounded better if the two of them wrote it together.
After writing the last word "longevity", Shen Wan took a long breath and finally finished her work.
Xie Jingyan couldn't stand and sat on the wheelchair. Shen Wan rolled up the Hundred Years' Life Picture. However, when he turned around, he didn't notice that Xie Jingyan was behind him. She stumbled and accidentally sat directly in his arms.
It was embarrassing enough to sit on someone's lap, but what was even more embarrassing was that the back of her head hit someone's nose.
Xie Jingyan gasped in pain, "I don't want to burn bridges like you."
