Chapter 319: Alarm Bell

"Sister Xi?" Old Madam Lan was very surprised, and her eyes fell on Lan Xi with doubt and shock. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info grandchildren's filial piety for her, naturally there is, but the objects sent by several granddaughters are mostly needlework done by themselves, this white jade Guanyin statue is too valuable, a little girl in Lanxi, where did the money come from?

The third lady just wanted to speak, but over there, Lan Xi had already stepped forward quickly and grabbed Mrs. Lan's arm, and said with a smile, "I chose this birthday gift, as for the silver, my mother said before that she would deduct it from my dowry silver, I just thought it was a joke, but now it seems that it is true......"

Mrs. Lan San was slightly stunned, what else did Lan Xi not understand about her actions? She didn't discuss this matter with Lan Xi today, and she just said it in passing, she didn't think about it before, but now she feels that something is wrong. Ah Qing doesn't seem to want to involve Shiro yet, if that's the case, then the three hundred taels will naturally become a secret, this white jade Guanyin statue can definitely be counted more than three hundred taels, in this way, it is bound to make others think more, Mrs. Lan San suddenly regretted it, why did she dig a pit for herself?

Fortunately, Ah Qing is alert, and her mind is racing, Mrs. Lan San feigned a tiger face angrily, and said, "I can say it before, I will do my filial piety for my grandmother, and the dowry silver is nothing, but now I want to regret it?" ”

Lan Xi pursed her lips, as if she was a little entangled, and then gritted her teeth, and said, "If this is the case, it will be counted as what I sent, and it will be my filial piety." ”

The mother and daughter went back and forth, and the situation was far from what they thought, and everyone was stunned.

But it was Mrs. Lan who was the first to react, her face was full of wrinkles with a smile, she patted Lan Xi's hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your mother doesn't dare to shorten your dowry silver, even if she is short, grandmother will make it up for you." ”

The rest of the people laughed one by one, but they were thinking about it in their hearts. Dare to be affectionate, after a long time, this is a mother and daughter playing tricks. The people in these three rooms, in the past few years outside, seem to have grown a lot, and they actually change their ways to please the old lady. However, even if the people in the other rooms of the Lan Mansion were very disappreciative in their hearts, at this time, they would never say something disappointing and touch the old lady's bad head. On the contrary, they had to say something flattering.

This page has finally been revealed. While Lan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he regretted a little in his heart, why did he choose such an eye-catching thing? When I saw this thing earlier, I thought it was suitable for my grandmother, and I thought that I hadn't done my filial piety in front of my grandmother for many years, and I had some thoughts of compensation, and I didn't think much about anything else, but I didn't want to make such a fuss...... Mistakes, mistakes.

Lan Xi secretly sounded a wake-up call for himself in his heart. It seems that after a long time of being comfortable outside, I forgot for a while that life in this deep mansion compound is not as simple and happy as it seems on the surface. Many times, between blood relatives, the slightest carelessness, will become enemies, and it is not uncommon for you to live or die.

Mrs. Lan San breathed a sigh of relief, and also secretly woke up.

For a while, everyone gossiped a few more words, and the hairpin whispered in Mrs. Lan's ear, and Mrs. Lan raised her eyes to look at the sky, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's not too early at this hour, I'm afraid that there are still many things everywhere, and the guests are afraid that they will come to the door one after another, so you can go and get busy!" Let Sister Xi and her sisters stay with me. ”

Naturally, there are still a lot of things to be busy in the house, and each room has relatives in each room, the hour is not early, and the guests are indeed going to come to the door one after another. After a while, Fushou Hall, which was still very lively, was mostly empty in a blink of an eye, and only the old lady, a few Lanxi cousins, and some maids and daughters-in-law were left.

When the person was almost gone, Lan Yun came forward with a smile, took Lan Xi's arm affectionately, smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said, "Fifth sister is really good-looking today." It is said that the eldest sister is the first talented woman in the capital, and the second sister is the first beauty, I see, the fifth sister has both beauty and talent, maybe it won't be long before our Lanfu is going to be the first in the capital again, and then I am afraid that it will be more beautiful than the eldest sister and the second sister. ”

Lan Xi frowned lightly, crossed Lan Yun's shoulder, and looked behind her, but a step away, but didn't look away, as if Lan Ying didn't hear them speak, and the dark light flashed in her eyes. The arm was lightly wrenched, pulled out from under Lan Yun's palm, quietly took a small step to the side, opened a little distance from Lan Yun, and said with a faint smile, "The sixth sister said that I laughed, I think that my beauty is not as good as the second sister, and my talent is even worse than the big sister, but I don't know when, I am so good in the eyes of the sixth sister, I am really scared." ”

"Fifth sister is really humble." Lan Yun tugged at the corners of his mouth, but in Lan Xi's opinion, it looked like a smiling ill-will.

It's just that she doesn't need to think about getting out, over there, Old Lady Lan has already beckoned them over. Gather around the kang, amuse with today's old birthday star, break a fruit for a while, feed a snack for a while, you toast a cup of tea, I say an auspicious word, and the old lady Lan is so happy that she laughs loudly.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was rising, and the vase, which had become a daughter-in-law, opened the curtain with a smile on her face, and called with a smile, "Old lady-"

Behind him, the footsteps are stringed, the laughter is loud, and the guests are full!

Mrs. Lan is celebrating her birthday this year, and it coincides with the return of Mr. Lan San to Beijing, so the Lan Mansion decided to do it early in the morning. Because of the flood later, although Mrs. Lan intended to keep everything simple, but the saint issued a decree that the Lan Mansion should act cheaply, and although the birthday banquet should not be too extravagant, it should also occupy a "heavy" word. The late Mrs. Lan was the prince and the princess, and the saint also wanted to call a teacher, speaking of which, Mrs. Lan can also be regarded as the saint's wife, and in addition, now the third master Lan is in the limelight, and the saint came out like this, and the Lan Mansion knew that this time the birthday banquet was only afraid that it would not be easy to get.

It's just that when the guests were full, the people in the Lan Mansion realized that they still underestimated the sensitivity and reaction of the people in the capital to certain things after all.

From the old lady to the second grandmother's mother's house, naturally there are people here, relatives, friends, old people, protΓ©gΓ©s, and no one is missing. There are no friendships on weekdays, and there are not a few who have not received posts uninvited.

Mrs. Lan Er and Mrs. Lan San, who were in charge of welcoming guests, saw this battle, and hurriedly sent someone to report back to Mrs. Landa, Mrs. Lan listened, silently raised the handkerchief in her hand and printed the sweaty sideburns, and rejoiced, fortunately, the table was relaxed a lot before, and she had already prepared, otherwise, I am afraid that I will be embarrassed today.

Hurriedly arranged, Mrs. Lan went to the kitchen again without stopping.

At this time, Mrs. Lan's Fushou Hall was already noisy and lively. (To be continued.) )
