Chapter 14: Auntie's Birthday
Lan Xi sent Zhao Rouyun away, and she couldn't calm down for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough I usually have to fall asleep at this time, I don't know why I can't sleep today. I was worried about my aunt's birthday tomorrow, and I was irritable unconsciously.
Luo's mother sent Zhao Rouyun away for Lanxi, and brought another bowl of mung bean soup. "Miss, it's hot, let's have a bowl of mung bean soup to get rid of the heat"
Luo's mother could see that Lan Xi was mentally irritable, and she only thought that Lan Xi was annoyed because she was alienated from Zhao Rouyun. Luo's mother supported Lan Xi's estrangement, so she was ruthless, even if she made Miss unhappy, she had to keep her away from Zhao Rouyun.
"This Miss Zhao is a little angry today, is Miss unhappy?"
Lan Xi looked at the considerate Mother Luo and laughed too.
"Okay, Mother Luo, don't go around the bend with me, I don't want to be friends with that Miss Zhao for a long time, you can rest assured" Lan Xi didn't want to play Tai Chi with Mother Luo, so she simply opened her mind. Show her attitude, and Luo's mother will feel much more relieved.
Today, Lan Xi changed her affectionate attitude towards Miss Zhao in the past, but became cold, Luo's mother was already very pleased, and now Miss is even more open to her about this, Luo's mother is happy and doesn't know what to say. In the past few days, the young lady seems to have grown up in an instant, she will please the old lady and the old lady, she will also care about Aunt Xue, and even alienate Miss Zhao. If this had been put before, Mother Luo wouldn't have dared to think about it, but now Miss still treats her as a caring person and opens her heart to her, which is really good. Thinking about it, the corners of Luo's mother's eyes were a little moist, and her eyes were even redder.
"Okay, okay, Miss is still the best Sister Xi" Luo's mother shouted out Lan Xi's nickname when she was excited.
In Daliang, relatives all call nicknames, but Wu Anhou pays attention to the rules and feels that calling his brothers and sisters is not solemn enough, so this name was only shouted by Luo's mother in private when she was a child, and later she didn't like to hear this name, so she changed it to the second miss. Now hearing this, Lan Xi's heart is becoming more and more bitter. In her previous life, when Luo's mother was dying in her arms, she also called out to Sister Xi, but she didn't realize it, and she still muttered Sister Xi, Sister Xi.
In this life, I must let Luo's mother live a better life!
"Mom, Lanxi is only you, and in the future, Luo's mother will also call me Sister Xi'er in private." Lan Xi's voice was soft, full of coquettish dependence. Hearing this, Luo's mother softened.
"Okay, good, and my aunt loves our sister Xi very much" Mother Luo turned out to be Aunt Xue's dowry maid, and she couldn't bear to see their mother and daughter separated.
"Lan Xi knows that tomorrow is my aunt's birthday, and Mother Luo will think about what to give Lan Xi."
Luo's mother sneered, "Sister Xi wants to coax me, but I heard Qiu Yue say, Sister Xi has been embroidering a handkerchief these days."
"Qiuyue, that dead girl, knows that if she chews her tongue in front of her mother, she will sew her mouth one day" Lan Xi pretended to be angry.
"Okay, okay, mom go sew, show mom the lady's handkerchief" Luo's mother is not only outstanding in cooking, but also good at embroidery.
Lan Xi was slightly uncomfortable, he paid attention to poetry and books, and he was not good at embroidery, and he embroidered for several days, which was just a not very good-looking handkerchief. It's good to show Luo's mother, my aunt is well-versed in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the embroidery is also good.
Lan Xi took out his embroidery from a box and embroidered for another afternoon under the guidance of Luo's mother. Sure enough, it's much better than before.
Early the next morning, there was no need to greet the old lady, so Lan Xi had breakfast and went to Hibiscus Garden.
Even on Aunt Xue's birthday, Hibiscus Garden is still the same deserted. However, it is said that the old lady and her mother-in-law have already given gifts as usual, and they heard that the second lady is coming, so the few people are also busy, and the lifeless Hibiscus Garden seems to have life.
Today, Aunt Xue changed her previous dull dress, not only wearing a bright pink, but also wearing a silk flower on her head.
For Aunt Xue, her thirtieth birthday is not worth such a fanfare celebration, but this is the first time her beloved daughter has given her birthday, so she has some expectations. The old lady and the lady had already sent someone to tell them that there was no need to go to thank them. So Aunt Xue happily waited for her daughter's arrival in the house.
"The second lady came really early, let's go in with the old slave, Aunt Xue is also waiting early" Mother Wan happily welcomed Lan Xi in.
"Lan Xi to my aunt to say goodbye, aunt Da'an, every year has today, there is a year, there is a day" Lan Xi talked to her aunt for the first time, and she didn't know how to grasp the proportions, so she also picked up good words to make up.
"Miss can't help it, I'm just an aunt, how can I have the blessing to accept Miss Hello" Aunt Xue said that she was going to stop Lan Xi from saluting, she couldn't accept her daughter's salute, and she couldn't listen to her daughter shouting mother, which was the biggest regret in her life.
"My aunt has the grace of giving birth to Lan Xi, why can't she stand this ceremony, there are only two of us and two mothers in this room, and no one knows about the distance between her daughter" Lan Xi became more and more bold.
directly gave Aunt Xue a big gift, "Daughter wishes her mother a healthy year and a long life"
With Lan Xi's words, Aunt Xue didn't stop her, but she didn't expect Lan Xi to give a big gift and call her mother. I don't want to hear this title, it's just that the world is impermanent, and I can't listen to it.
"This is unbelievable" Although I want to hear it, but the lord is reluctant, and he can't hurt Lanxi!
"Mother, don't worry, my daughter only calls you like this when there is no one around"
"No, you're still young, if you're not careful, you'll leak your mouth, auntie understands your heart, get up quickly" Aunt Xue values her daughter the most in her heart, and she can't bear to let her have any risk because of her own desires.
"Lan Xi knows" Lan Xi can't resist Aunt Xue, it's just that Aunt Xue knows her heart.
"Since I'm here to celebrate my birthday, how can I not have a birthday gift, Mother Luo, bring what I've prepared" As she spoke, Mother Luo handed over a delicate wooden box.
This wooden box is made of fine fragrant wood, and only a Xue character is engraved on the box, and a Mu is engraved on the back. This is what Lan Xi quietly ordered Qiu Yue to do a few days ago, and Lan Xi's monthly money over the years has been useless, and now it has come in handy.
"Lanxi is really attentive, but you don't have to spend so much" Aunt Xue was already choked up without opening it, and her daughter's mind was really prepared with her heart.
"Auntie, don't worry, if my daughter doesn't have the money to buy new clothes, she will come to my aunt to ask for it!" Of course, Lan Xi's words are joking, although the Zhao family doesn't want to see her, they can't do it without her in terms of food and clothing, and the things on the face of the family are always done satisfactorily.
"Okay, okay, what Lanxi is missing, is it okay for my aunt to make it up for you" Aunt Xue is the eldest daughter of the Bofu, how can she not have any belongings, but after marrying in, she was controlled by the Zhao family, but the bottom of the pressure box is still there.
When I opened it, I saw a pair of hairpins pressed against the handkerchief.
Pick up the pair of hairpins, which are a pair of hostas carved with orchids. In addition to a Xue character on the handkerchief, an orchid is also embroidered.
Before getting married, Aunt Xue's favorite thing was orchids, but this Mrs. Wu'an Houfu had an orchid in her name, in order to avoid colliding with Mrs. Xue, Aunt Xue could only give up her favorite orchid. And Mrs. Zhao originally liked beautiful flowers such as peonies and peonies, but I don't know if it was because she knew that Aunt Xue liked orchids, so she forcibly changed her yard to Peilan Garden.
Over the years, Aunt Xue has almost forgotten her beloved orchid, but she didn't expect her daughter to remember it, her eyes were red again, as if she was about to cry.
"Auntie today is a big day, you can't cry, otherwise your daughter will become a sinner" Lan Xi hurriedly went to comfort Aunt Xue. Under Lan Xi's comfort, Aunt Xue also calmed down. The mother and daughter talked affectionately about themselves.
After lunch at noon, Lan Xi also refused to go back, and Aunt Xue was also very happy. So Lan Xi slept with his biological mother for the first time in his memory, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers on Aunt Xue's body, revealing a light and elegant smell, Lan Xi's heart was also very calm. Since being reborn, he has been tense and did not dare to relax in the slightest, but now smelling the smell of Aunt Xue's body, Lan Xi rarely slept deeply, and when he woke up, he didn't know what year the sky was round tonight.
Aunt Xue picked up the grate and combed Lan Xi's hair carefully, her technique was a little rusty. I haven't been close to her since she was very young, and I didn't expect that now there is still time to comb her hair myself. I really hope that time will stand still like this, and I can enjoy this family fun with my daughter forever.
Before I finished combing, I heard Mother Wan come in and report that the little girl next to the master was coming.
Xue and Lan Xi didn't think so, they both thought that they were just here to give birthday gifts, and Aunt Xue helped Lan Xi comb before holding hands and going to the front hall together. It's Xiao Luzi next to the master, Xiao Luzi saw the mother and daughter come out together, although it's a little strange, hasn't this mother and daughter always been intimate? Why do these two young ladies seem to be resting here with Aunt Xue now? However, although Xiao Luzi is young, he has a lot of ability to look at people's eyes, so he is valued by Wu'an Hou. I was puzzled in my heart, but I was still happy to salute in a proper manner, and said with a smile, "Aunt Xue is ready, the master will come over to have dinner with Aunt Xue tonight" After that, he put down the congratulatory gift and said an auspicious word, and Aunt Xue rewarded a purse and went out happily.
Aunt Xue and Lan Xi were very surprised, Aunt Xue has not been very popular with Lan Xi's father since she gave birth to Lan Xi, and Xue is not a character who will compete for favor, so these years are also the New Year's Festival, usually there are things to reward things according to the routine, only once or twice a year, and every time is to sit and leave, how do you think of coming to dinner this year? Is it because of Aunt Xue's birthday? But Lanxi is twelve, and I haven't seen this Su Gulai on his birthday for more than ten years, what's wrong with today?
Although Aunt Xue doesn't like to compete for favor for more than ten years, she has also weakened her affection for Su Gu, but Su Gu is her husband, whether it is for Lanxi or the female ring that she has learned for so many years, the Xue family has no reason to refuse, so she still told Mother Wan to prepare dinner.
It's just that why did this Wu Anhou suddenly change?
