Chapter 124: Winter Solstice Festival

Soon it was the Winter Solstice Festival, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and Xinglan felt that Shangjin was indeed much colder than Lin'an, and he couldn't wear such a thick cotton jacket in the past. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xinglan looked at himself who was slightly bloated in the bronze mirror, and pouted a little displeased, looking a lot fatter. "Riemann should change my clothes. ”

Ah Song came in from outside with a stove, and when he heard Xinglan's words, he continued, "Miss, today is the winter solstice, and it is extremely cold, so it is better to wear more clothes so as not to catch a cold." After speaking, he stuffed the stove into Xinglan's arms.

"I'm going to eat a hot pot when I'm waiting, and it's inconvenient to dress like this, I'm sure I'll be sweating. Xinglan said, she still insisted on changing to a light one, and would go out and put on a thick cape.

Since Xinglan insisted, the subordinates naturally had no objections.

When everything was ready, the time was almost up, and there was still a distance from Xiyuan to Beiyuan, Xinglan took Ah Song and Xin Wei out of the door.

On the Winter Solstice Festival, the old lady Gongsun sent a message, asking the whole family to get together for a small get-together, so that there is a gathering of elders, Xinglan naturally wants to bring the old people in the two mansions, so as to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Xinglan felt that he had already arrived early, but before he could go in, he heard laughter inside, and it seemed that someone had come earlier than him.

For this grandfather, Xinglan has only met twice since he entered the mansion. It's not that Xinglan is not filial and doesn't come to ask for peace, when he first entered the mansion and announced that Xinglan was the daughter of Gongsun Nan, he saw him once. Later, he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors to meet outside the Gongsun Ancestral Hall, and when he went to ask for peace, the old lady said that he wanted to recuperate, and Xinglan would not have to go in the future.

Inside, Xinglan knelt on the ground and saluted the old lady, "I wish grandpa good health." ”

The old lady nodded with a smile and asked Xinglan to sit next to him, and it was Gongsun Lu who sat on the other side of him, and it was Gongsun Lu who said something interesting just now, making the old lady laugh.

On the way here just now, Xinglan had already asked Ah Song about the temperament of the old lady, and Ah Song said that she had been in the Gongsun Mansion for more than ten years, but it was rare to see the old lady get angry, and she was also kind to her subordinates, so she should be a very good person.

Although Ah Song said this, Xinglan didn't think so, the old lady was the patriarch of the Gongsun family back then, and not only that, but he also served as the prime minister for a period of time back then, but he didn't want others to know some things.

Xinglan sat down beside the old lady in a regular manner, and then said to Gongsun Lu, "Cousin." ”

"Sister Xinglan, you're late, you're going to have to put on a show to punish you later!" Gongsun Lu said with a little playfulness, "Grandpa! ”

Xinglan also pouted and looked like a little daughter, and said coquettishly to the old lady, "Grandpa! The two brothers haven't come yet! ”

Xinglan's meaning is obvious, if you want to say that I am late, there are two people who are later than me.

"Brother Ying doesn't count, he went to prepare a gift for his grandfather. Gongsun Lu explained to Gongsun Ying, obviously protecting her brother.

Xinglan didn't argue about anything, she felt that it was pointless, Gongsun Lu deliberately targeted herself not once or twice, she bet that Gongsun Lu must have said bad things about her in front of the old lady.

The three of them chatted for a while, most of the time Gongsun Lu was talking, Xinglan and the old lady were listening, and the two of them would occasionally interject a few sentences.

After a while, Gongsun Ying came in first, and sure enough, as Gongsun Lu said, Gongsun Ying did prepare a gift for the old lady.

He held a tray in his hand, and first saluted the old lady, "I wish grandpa a long and healthy life and a long life." ”

"Get up, I heard Lu'er say that you are going to prepare a gift for this old man for me?" the old lady asked with a smile, and a full house of children and grandchildren was the greatest joy for him.

Gongsun Ying picked up the things on the tray, shook a black mink fur with both hands, and it came into everyone's eyes.

Just from a distance, you can see that the mink fur is very valuable, the coat color is positive, smooth, soft and free of impurities.

"Good. The old lady happily said two good words in a row, it seemed that he really liked it, but Xinglan sat next to him, and clearly saw that there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, which could be said to be unfazed.

With such a good thing, Xinglan was a little moved, but after thinking about it, the Gongsun Mansion has a great business, and then thinking of the old lady's previous achievements, a good mink fur, there is indeed nothing to be surprised about.

Sometimes it doesn't have to be expensive to send something, but it must be sent with a heart. Hearing the old lady's praise, Gongsun Lu and Zeng Yun were already smiling on the side, so Gongsun Lu didn't notice the old lady's eyes at all.

At this time, even Gongsun Nan came, but he didn't see Gongsun Yi, and the old lady asked in a complaining tone, "Why hasn't Gongsun Yi's stinky boy come yet, do you want so many of us to wait for him!"

As soon as the old lady's words fell, a voice came from outside: "Old man, I'm not here." ”

Gongsun Yi appeared in front of people with a hanging, the old lady looked at the smile on his face, put it away, and said angrily with a cane, "You bastard boy, you are idle all day long, you don't do your job, you want to be angry with me, right?" ”

"Okay, okay, what are you doing with so much anger. Gongsun Yi said and walked to the old lady's side, helped him up and said, "The old man is old, and his temper is still so big, such a person is waiting for you to call for dinner." ”

Although the old lady was angry and opened Gongsun Yi's hand, she still got up and walked to the flower hall.

Even so, Gongsun Yi turned his head and winked at Xinglan, Xinglan smiled helplessly, for this brother, sometimes I really don't know how to describe him.

Gongsun Lu and Gongsun Ying supported the old lady left and right, Gongsun Yi followed behind, and then Gongsun Nan and Zeng Yun, Xinglan fell last.

Entering the flower hall, a warm pot in the middle was gurgling hot, and everyone sat down in turn in order of priority.

Xinglan was the youngest and the last to sit down, and after sitting down, the old lady didn't have any extra words, "Use chopsticks to eat." ”

After a meal, as Xinglan guessed, it was very warm in the room after eating the warm pot, and it would not sweat and spend makeup.

Gongsun Lu is different, she keeps wiping the sweat on her head with a handkerchief, and she doesn't know where the wind comes from, the heat of the warm pot keeps drifting towards her, and the strange smell of things is smoked when she doesn't eat it. But the old lady couldn't leave the table with her, and she poked the food in the bowl with an unhappy face.

I only heard a snap, the old lady put down the chopsticks in his hand, and everyone immediately put down the chopsticks in their hands and looked at him, the old lady wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief and said, "People can't eat anything when they're old, you young people eat more." Lan girl is still too thin, make up for it. Also, in the future, follow your second aunt to learn about housekeeping. ”
