Chapter 35: The Birthday Banquet (1)

Lin Ran had just returned to Ranyuan Pavilion, thinking about what birthday gift to prepare for the old lady, a touch of sunlight shone into the lotus flower she had embroidered halfway, and suddenly thought about it, and walked into the study to rummage through the Buddhist books.

This busy work arrived very late, but they had to get up early in the morning, and they were messing in the kitchen alone, not letting anyone interfere, and Mama Du and Luliu didn't know what the young lady was doing alone, until Lin suddenly let them in, and they were surprised to see a giant model, and they all opened their mouths wide.

"Little, what is this, Miss?" Midori asked, curiously poking her head out.

"Oh, it's a cake grinder, heck, but there's no oven, that's all it can be done right now." Lin explained while tinkering with egg whites and milk.

"What a cake, it's amazing!" Green Willow stepped forward and touched the iron tool with curiosity, "Can this be made into a model?" ”

Lin suddenly nodded, "But there's no butter here, so I'll make do with it, and I'll make cream piping later, why don't you help me too!" ”

Hearing Lin Ranran say this, the two of them were even more curious, they had never seen anything like this, and they both felt extremely surprised, Mama Du fiddled with the piping bag that Lin Ranran put aside and asked: "These things have never been seen by the old slave, how did you come up with them, Miss." ”

"Of course, I saw it from the book, but both of you have to keep it secret, and when the time comes, I want to surprise the old lady at the birthday banquet." Lin suddenly instructed carefully, and smiled and beckoned them to come over to help.

"Well, good!" Green willow rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, and for a moment, there was laughter in the kitchen.

When the three of them were busy, most of the time had passed, Lin suddenly thought about his younger brother, and walked out of the courtyard after lunch, and just passed through the corridor, he saw Lin Xiaoran, who was wearing a white straight robe, walking up with a painting.

"Sister. Sister, this... This is.... I... I painted to Zu... Grandmother's, you see. Look at. Lin Xiaoran said seriously, "Such as... If there is... What the... Insufficient. I... I'll do it again. Change. ”

Lin suddenly stepped forward to take it, took his hand, and reddened his eyes: "You stupid boy, what a big deal, your body just can't see the wind, let the maid next to you come to report, and my sister will come over." She said as she draped her cloak over his body and reproached, "I don't wear more when I know I'm out." ”

Lin Xiaoran blushed shyly: "Only... Just wanted to make... Sister Jean. Sister early... Early... See, no... Pass... Sister. Sister Zhen. It's different, and there's more. This. This one. The boy carefully took out a wreath from his cuff, which was clumsy, but more than loving.

Lin Ran didn't hesitate to take it, wet his eyes, and patted his head lovingly: "Sister likes the garland made by Xiao Ran very much, not to mention that you have this filial piety, grandmother will be relieved to know it, go, go to my house to sit down, my sister has a set of four treasures to give you." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ran's bright orange eyes widened and nodded happily

The two sisters and brothers held hands, talked and laughed and walked away, not noticing that Lin Zixuan not far away was staring at them viciously, with a sneer on her lips: "A cheap girl, a stammer, what are you proud of, you will cry when the time comes." ”

From that day on, the old lady did what she said, and really invited a teacher for Lin Xiaoran, and Lin Ranran often went to visit the eldest lady, and the relationship between mother and daughter was even worse than before.

On the old lady's side, Lin Ranran often took her younger brother to ask for peace, she chatted with the old lady, and the younger brother was painting on the side, coupled with his cleverness and filial piety, he gradually pleased the old lady

Lin Zixuan and Lin Xian'er will also come over to say goodbye, compared to the old lady's love for Lin Xuanran's sister and brother, they are much colder to the two of them, especially when a series of things happen at home, even several concubines raised by the second lady are disliked by the old lady, sometimes Lin Xuanran will meet Lin Zixuan and Lin Xian'er unexpectedly, Lin Xian'er will stab her in front of her, Lin Zixuan is watching coldly from the sidelines, Lin Xuanran is joking and gagging, it is not the same thing.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the old lady's birthday banquet, and the people in the mansion were busy decorating the red lantern couplets.

Lin suddenly got up early in the morning, with a slanted flowing cloud bun, a plum blossom inlaid with a hanging bead hair chain in front of his forehead, a jade pendant on his white and tender jade neck, and a small butterfly pendant hanging from his ears, which was charming and innocent.

After finishing the make-up, she put on the lotus cardigan that Green Willow had already prepared for her, decorated with pink plum blossoms at the waist, and wore a purple pomegranate skirt.

The eldest lady looked at Lin Suran's new makeup, smiled and wiped her tears: "My daughter has really grown up and is becoming more and more handsome." ”

"Madam, today is the old lady's birthday banquet, you should be happy!" Mama Du reminded with a smile on the side.

The eldest lady nodded with red eyes: "Look at me so happy that I am confused, I will definitely be able to show my beauty in front of those people today." ”

Lin suddenly smiled and took her mother's hand, and the two walked towards the flower hall with the maid behind them.

Along the way, the mother and daughter talked and laughed, discussing which guests will visit today, the old lady is low-key and doesn't like to do special things, so she invited the Dingguo Mansion that is related to the Lin Mansion, and the aunt Lu Guogong's family, who is closer to the mother, and the old lady has a very good relationship with the Queen Mother, maybe the emperor will send someone to send a birthday gift, plus Prince Yi's mansion, which has a very good relationship with Lin Shangshu.

Thinking of the prince of Prince Yi's mansion, Lin suddenly felt a sinking in his heart, this is a time bomb, and I don't know if he will tell his secret when the time comes.

She settled her mind, calmed her mind, and followed her mother towards the main house, unaware of it, but a pair of dark eyes caught her expression.

"This is the concubine of the Lin Mansion - Lin Xuanran." By the lotus pond in the distance, Qin Andao stood beside Gao Lian.

"It's a coincidence that no book is written." Gao Lian smiled meaningfully, "I really didn't expect this little girl to be so capable of turning the entire Shangshu Mansion upside down, I really underestimated her." ”

Qin An said: "This time, Lin Shangshu's eldest son, Lin Kejing, will also come. ”

"Oh? So the war ahead is over? "Gao Lian's narrow phoenix eyes crossed a gleam, since this person has the ability to command a million troops and is reused by the emperor, it seems that he has a certain ability, among all the children of the second lady, he can be regarded as outstanding." "Yes, what are we going to do next?" Qin An asked.

Gao Lian smiled unpredictably, and said lightly: "Naturally, I took a step at a time, but that little girl interested me more." “
