Wrong Changhuan

As night fell, the southwestern courtyard had already been lit with lights, and it was brightly lit.

Chang Huan squatted on the steps of the corridor, looking at the moon with his hands on his chin, thinking that other families should have a family reunion at this moment, enjoy the moon, eat cakes, drink wine and compose poems, and have a great time.It's just that these things, in the Lin family, can only wait until August [-]th.

Why didn't the Mid-Autumn Festival be celebrated today, and she had to eat a day of fasting? She asked Lin Xun when she was very young.It's just that the second uncle didn't explain it clearly to her, but just told her, "The moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round. When we celebrate the sixteenth day, it's also the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, we will enjoy the moon alone. How nice it is."

When I was a child, I was really easy to deceive. Thinking about this, Chang Huan knew that there must be a reason behind it. Is it related to me?Or is it related to the maternal grandparents who died young?She didn't know, but she vaguely felt that it was related to herself.

In fact, it was just this feeling that made her a little sad.

Lin Changhuan felt as if there were two himself constantly switching.In front of people, she is the sensible and lively Lin Changhuan who loves to joke and play. When there is no one, only she knows that there is a wronged, sensitive and caring child hidden deep in her heart.

Lin Xun, Yang Yan, and Lin Xiao arrived at the Changhuan Courtyard at the same time. Coincidentally, they all brought sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

The four sat side by side on the porch, looking at the moon, drinking wine, and talking about Chang Huan's childhood.

Lin Xiaodao, "I remember, when Chang Huan was born in Zi, the moon that night was the same as tonight's, so round and so bright." After a pause, he turned to look at Chang Huan and said, "Your name is still Er Brother took it. Changhuan, I will always be happy. It sounds very good."

Lin Xun said gently, "At that time, Chang Huan was just born, wrinkled, and only this big." Lin Xun said and gestured with his hand, and continued, "At that time, she was thin and small like a kitten. I'm worried that this little one, who was born so ugly, may not be able to marry when he grows up."

Yang Yan answered with a smile, "Our Xiao Huanhuan is obviously a little fairy. If you want to talk about ugly, do you still remember that Miss Fang from Yuanwai's family in the west of the city seven years ago?"

Chang Huan took a sip of wine in his throat, almost spit it out, and said, "I remember that person, she seemed to have taken a fancy to the second uncle at that time, and she would run into her on the street twice in three days, she was dressed in red and willow green, and her face was like a monkey. Ass."

Yang Yan smiled and said to Chang Huan, "You still call her Aunt Fang. I said, be polite, so you said, Sister Fang, you are so beautiful." Yang Yan laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe.

The four of them laughed together and drank together again.

Yang Yan continued to laugh, "I said, I told you to be polite, but I didn't tell you to lie...hahaha"

Chang Huan laughed until his stomach ached, and said, "...that Miss Fang's face turned green on the spot, and I haven't met her again since then..."

After laughing, there was another silence.

Lin Xiao said, "Tell me, who is Chang Huan most like?"

Lin Xun said with a smile, "She sleeps well, she can fall asleep immediately when she is tired from playing, just like Ah Yan."

Yang Yan regained his energy when he heard this, and echoed, "I agree with that. Under the tree, by the table, in the garden, once I climbed a tree and slept on it, oh, yes, there was another time I played Hide and seek, she hid herself in the cabinet and fell asleep, the whole family searched for a long time before finding it, remember?!"

Lin Xiao nodded and added, "Chang Huan has a wild temper, which is the same as Yang Yan."

Lin Xun looked at the two people beside him dotingly, and said, "Neither of them eat mushrooms or beef, but both like sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and fish. They both like sweet and spicy food. They don't like medicine, and they both fear pain." .If you accidentally knocked against your body, it would be worse than the other screaming in pain."

Yang Yan comforted, "It's worth it for me to help raise these nine years, it's worth it." As he spoke, he touched the jug in his hand with Axun, and the two tacitly took a big gulp each.

Chang Huan listened to what they said, but he felt that maybe he had a temper like Yang Yan in reality, and deep down in his heart, he most wanted to live a chic and free life like his third uncle Lin Tie.

She imagined that, like the third uncle, one day she could use her sword to the end of the world, live unrestrained, and do what she likes. That should be wonderful.

Chang Huan remembered the scene of celebrating her birthday every year in the past, just like today, she murmured, "I miss my third uncle. He hasn't written for a long time, I don't know if he is doing well."

As soon as Lin Xiao heard this, he quickly took out a small delicately carved wooden box from his bosom, handed it to Chang Huan, and said, "Although he didn't write a letter, he did not forget your birthday gift. It was sent by someone in the afternoon. Yes, let's see what it is."

Yang Yan punched Lin Xiaodao with his elbow, "There is a gift, don't tell me earlier."

Lin Xiao scratched his head shyly, and said, "Isn't this a drink, forget it?"

Chang Huan opened the wooden box, and there was a carved wooden hairpin lying quietly inside. It must have taken a lot of time, the petals were carved lifelike, and the word "Huan" was engraved under the petals. She made wooden swords like dolls.

Lin Xun took the wooden hairpin and said, "I'll insert it for you." As he spoke, he took off the hairpin from Chang Huan's head and replaced it with a wooden hairpin.

Chang Huan tried to ask, "How is it?" He looked at the sky door cover with beady eyes, but he couldn't see anything.

Yang Yan was amused by her small gestures, and said, "Our little fairy is really pretty."

Lin Xiao also joked, "Sure enough, even Smug Beauty is exactly like Yang Yan."

Chang Huan noticed that my brother-in-law was really as Yang Yan said, compared to the usual boring gourd, he talked a lot after drinking, and he was quite joking.

Lin Xiao then pulled out a dagger from his bosom, handed it to Chang Huan, and said, "I don't know what to give, this dagger is for self-defense, I've been picking it for a long time, I don't know if it suits you."

Chang Huan looked at his uncle, a man who was not a few years older than himself when he was about to become a weak crown, but he understood his original intention and the unspoken words hidden behind his back.

She knew why Lin Xiao was already superb in martial arts, yet he still practiced martial arts every day, whether it was windy or rainy, it never stopped.And why he gave himself nothing but a dagger today.

She remembered that her uncle tried to ask her one day if she still remembered what happened when she was five years old, and she said she didn't remember.In fact, she still remembered, that experience was so unforgettable that even if she forgot each other, she would never forget it.

Chang Huan thanked him with a smile, "I like this dagger very much, thank you uncle. I will definitely carry it with me."

Just the gift she wanted most, but never received.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, she holds expectations, and every time, it ends in disappointment.

Xu Shijiu can make people say what they want to say in their hearts but can't say it on weekdays. Chang Huan's nose was sour and she said, "Did I do something wrong? Why didn't my mother give me a birthday gift or celebrate my birthday with me?" ?”

For a while, there was silence.

It was Lin Xun who broke the silence first, stretched out his hand and patted her on the head, and explained, "There are gifts that can be seen and touched, and some that can't be touched. You know that every year today, the Lin family will give rice for porridge. That is the birthday gift your mother gave you. The blessings brought by these good deeds are all for you. Do you think this birthday gift is not big enough?"

Yang Yan echoed, "That's right—that's it. Xiao Huanhuan's birthday is today, but she is not allowed to cry, otherwise she will have bad luck for a year."

Lin Xiao also said, "Elder Sister is a bit strict with you, but don't think too much, there are no parents who don't love their children in this world. She just doesn't know how to express it, you should be more considerate to her."

Chang Huan would rather believe these words, they are all true.It's just that she knows, no.

She didn't tell the truth, as she knew, from the outside, she would always be the sensible Lin Changhuan.

Chang Huan forced a smile and said, "Second Uncle, you are right, it is indeed an invisible birthday gift."

Lin Xun looked at Chang Huan like this, and hugged her into his arms with some distress, "If you want to cry, just cry, it's okay, don't listen to Ayan's nonsense."

Chang Huan said, "My uncle is right. My mother is too busy on weekdays, and she has to take care of business everywhere, and also arranges to give me rice for my birthday. I understand, and I don't blame her. It's my fault. I think she can spare even a little time to play with me. However, I have grown up. I can understand her. I am already very satisfied to have my uncle and uncle accompany me on my birthday and give me presents."

Outside the east wall, the two figures who had been standing outside the wall without entering the door stayed quietly for a long time.

Wen Wushuang called softly, "Yu'er, if you go in now, it's not too late."

Lin Yu'er stroked a jade pendant in her hand, and finally put it back in her arms, turned her head and said, "Let's go."

Drinking until the first hour of Haishi, Chang Huan yawned, and Lin Xun and the others were exhausted, so they went back to their courtyards.

Chang Huan was the only one left at the bottom of the porch steps. Looking at the eternal moon, she suddenly thought of the white-clothed woman she had seen in the daytime. Maybe some people, just seeing each other for the first time, seemed to be familiar with them in previous lives.

I don't know if her poison is cleared at this time, and I don't know if someone will accompany her to watch the moon and drink tonight.After sitting for a while, Chang Huan went back to the room and lay down on the bed. With the bright candlelight all over the room, she fell asleep in a daze.
