The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 199 You are illiterate and don’t know the goods

Li Mulan had a sumptuous lunch at the Lin residence and received a large number of gifts. Seeing that her carriage could no longer hold them, she asked, "How come there is more?"

Lin Yunfan smiled gently, waving his folding fan like a modest gentleman, "These are our birthday gifts, I showed them to you just now. The ones being moved now were sent by Fourth Senior Brother, Seventh Junior Brother, and Eighth Junior Brother. Your Third Senior Brother is a little far away, his is still on the way, but it will only take two days, and then we will send them to the Grand Tutor's Mansion for you."

Li Mulan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Her birthday was the happiest time of the year because she could receive many gifts. And this year, hehehe, she received two gifts.

Seeing her money-obsessed look, Lin Yunfan shook his head and laughed, "If you don't know, you might think we have treated you badly. How can such a small thing buy you off?"

"What's wrong? Which girl wouldn't be happy to receive a gift? No wonder no one wants you, Sixth Brother. You really don't understand women."

Lin Yunfan knocked her forehead unhappily, "Why are you bringing up such a topic?"

He has been nagging at the senior brother for an hour today. Now when he hears this topic, he wants to run away as if by reflex. He is almost traumatized.

Li Mulan rubbed her forehead, "Sixth Senior Brother, who exactly is our Third Senior Brother? It's been so many years, and I've never seen him once. Every time I asked, Master refused to tell me, and you guys didn't tell me either."

"Third Brother, well... he has a special status, but there will always be a time for us to meet. Besides, he gives the most gifts every year. What? Do you still have any objections to this?"

"How could that be? I'm so happy, I'm just curious. Look at the things Third Senior Brother gave me. Many of them can't be bought with money. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I wonder what kind of powerful person he is."

"Hmph," Lin Yunfan chuckled, "Don't try to trick me. Your Third Senior Brother has been quite busy in the past few years. When he gets better, he will find time to see you. Just wait."

Li Mulan curled her lips and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me."

Seeing that there were too many things, Lin Yunfan asked the mansion to arrange a carriage to deliver them together.

Looking at the full boxes of gifts, Li Mulan left contentedly. It was such a happy birthday.

It was just after 3 p.m. when we returned to the Taifu Mansion, so it wasn't too late.

The mansion was already bustling with activity, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. If one didn't know, one would think it was a wedding.

Huo Yuanruo, Liu Feng and Ye Tianyu came back together. Seeing the situation in the Taifu Mansion, they were all very happy, which showed that their junior master was valued.

Looking at the exaggerated decoration of the house, even the lanterns were replaced with new ones. Li Mulan pointed at the red lantern and said, "This...wasn't it just replaced after we moved back? It hasn't been a few days."

Qingyu hurriedly explained, "The previous color was lighter, and Uncle Zhang said it wasn't festive enough."

Huo Yuanruo laughed, "Uncle Zhang knows this?"

Qingyu also pursed her lips and smiled softly. She squeezed Li Mulan's hand and said, "I'll go to my aunt's place to see if there's anything I can help with."

"Thank you for your hard work, sister."

Qingyu shook her head and looked at Huo Yuanruo and the others, "Yuanruo, you guys help Xiaojiu move all the birthday gifts to her yard. Be gentle, okay?"

"Don't worry, Sister Qingyu. We will be careful with Junior Master's things."

"That's right, don't worry, sister. We will definitely handle it with care, hehehe."

Liu Feng is very interested in Junior Uncle's birthday gifts. There are so many, so it should be okay for him to ask for one, two, three or four, right?

Li Mulan knew what they were thinking as soon as she saw their expressions, and warned them, "You are not allowed to take it without my permission."

Huo Yuanruo said nonchalantly, "Oh, I know, I know. We'll tell you before we take it. We won't take anything you like. Is that okay?"

Li Mulan snorted twice to express her doubt.

"elder sister!"

As soon as Li Xi entered the room, he saw Li Mulan and the others, and ran over excitedly. He left too early in the morning, and his sister was still sleeping, so he didn't have a chance to say happy birthday to her.

Li Mulan looked at Li Xi, who looked particularly handsome today. He was wearing a blue gown that was obviously newly made. He looked outstanding and scholarly.

"Happy birthday, sister."

Li Xi ran too fast and almost couldn't stop when he reached Li Mulan. He was only able to stabilize himself when Huo Yuanruo grabbed him by the collar from behind.

Li Mulan straightened his collar and said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry? I won't run away."

Li Xi scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "I left too early this morning and haven't seen my sister yet. It's already this late."

"No hurry. Today is not only my birthday, but yours as well. Our Xi'er is getting more and more handsome. Sister wishes you a happy birthday too."

Huo Yuanruo put an arm around Li Xi's shoulders and said, "You look pretty good today, but a little worse than me."

Liu Feng sneered, "How can you be so ashamed? You look good dressed like a rich man, unlike Li Xi, who looks like a handsome young man. Here, Mr. Li, happy birthday, this is my birthday gift to you."

Li Xi didn't expect that he would receive a gift. Although he had met Liu Feng and Ye Tianyu twice, he was not as familiar with them as Huo Yuanruo, so he was still a little reserved.

He looked at Li Mulan, not knowing whether he should accept it.

"Please accept it. It's Xiao Feng's gift."

Liu Feng stuffed the black box into Li Xi's hand and said, "Hey, we are all family. Wouldn't it be stupid not to accept the gift? Quick, accept it."

Li Xi smiled shyly at Liu Feng, "Thank you."

Huo Yuanruo took the box, opened it and said with disdain, "What? That's all you're going to give me."

Li Xi took a look and saw another inkstone.

Liu Feng snatched the box back and stuffed it into Li Xi's hands. "What do you know, you rough man? I found this in my father's study. It's a treasured item of my father's. You, an illiterate, don't know its value."

Huo Yuanruo was very unconvinced and looked at Ye Tianyu, "Brother Tianyu, where is your gift?"

Li Xi was made very embarrassed by Huo Yuanruo. Why would someone ask about gifts like this?

Ye Tianyu smiled gently, and the servant behind him immediately handed him a box, "It's been prepared a long time ago." Then he handed it to Li Xi, "Brother Li Xi, take a look, do you like it?"

Li Xi was about to reach out his hand, but Huo Yuanruo got there first.

Li Xi and Ye Tianyu looked at each other, and both shook their heads and laughed.

"What? It's just a tattered book. Senior Brother Tianyu, is your General's Mansion so poor?"

Li Xi was sharp-eyed enough to notice the cover of the book. "Is this... Mr. Feng Lan's Collection of Quotations? This is a rare and unique copy."

Huo Yuanruo touched his nose when he heard this. It seemed that he was ignorant again...
