Chapter 6: Cousin
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Wanwan woke up to Mu Xiang's tireless shouting in her ears.
"Didn't Miss sleep well last night, why are your eyes so blue, but you have nightmares again?" Mu Xiang helped Lin Wanwan, who was still a little confused, to sit up and draped her small jacket over her shoulders.
Lin Wanwan's mind was full of how to deal with her sister who was not on the same page as her last night, and she didn't know when she fell asleep in the end, but she just felt that she had just been confused for a while.
"What time is it?" Avoiding the concerned inquiry, Lin Wanwan rubbed her slightly swollen temples.
Mu Xiang pulled up the curtain and replied: "It's in the middle, today is the old lady's birthday, and before dawn, the slave and maid heard the sound of sprinkling and sweeping outside." ”
Yes, it's my grandmother's birthday!
Lin Wanwan was shocked when she heard this, and her still somewhat confused brain instantly sobered up, a pair of apricot eyes flashed with a fine light like stars, and her pink lips raised a beautiful arc.
She hooked her finger at Mu Xiang, who blinked, and was stirred by the wilted smile of her master. I chuckled in my heart, thinking that Miss was going to do something bad again? Miss, every time she does this, someone must be unlucky.
Mu Xiang thought about it, and was a little afraid to step forward, but his normally dull head suddenly brightened at this time. She felt that it must not be her who was unlucky to come forward now, and if she didn't go, then maybe it would be a good idea.
So, Mu Xiang approached Lin Wanwan very upright, and then attached his ears.
Lin Wanwan whispered a few words to her, but the doubts in Mu Xiang's eyes became more and more intense.
Go to the kitchen to figure out the juice and dough?!
What is this going to do?!
After giving the order, Lin Wanwan saw that the stupid maid was still in place, and reached out to twist her ears. Mu Xiang immediately shouted, and in Lin Wanwan's dissatisfied gaze, he quickly retreated to look for something.
At this time, Lin Wanwan shouted to the others to come in and wait for freshening.
Lin Wanwan loves beauty, but in the past, she never applied powder because her skin was like clotted fat, and now her eyes are dark and blue, which can only be covered by powder.
After looking left and right at the bronze mirror, and couldn't find the dark circles under his eyes, he smiled and asked Mulian to pull her hair.
Mulian is usually lazy, but her ability to comb her hair is first-class, and she has attacked Lin Wanwan's nurse's craftsmanship.
I saw that she smoothed Lin Guanwan's hair, left most of the shawl, and skillfully divided the rest into four strands, and it was completed in a moment.
Lin Guanwan chose a pair of golden hairpins with begonias inlaid with ruby cores, and a pair of pearls fell from her ears.
A smile and a smile are gently swaying, and the glittering warm pearl light is reflected on the delicate face, with a kind of clear and dazzling scorching brilliance.
After turning over the stinky beauty of the bronze mirror and showing all kinds of smiles, Lin Wanwan got up and changed her clothes.
The light pink embroidered white plum folded satin fox fur jacket and the moon-white pleated skirt make the girl have a particularly moving fresh and delicate.
Everything was ready, and it was half an hour later.
Lin Haoqi was waiting outside the hospital, but when he didn't see his sister come out for a long time, he picked up steps to go in, and the wooden fragrance of the green vegetable juice dough wrapped in a handkerchief in his arms collided with him. I was so scared that I almost didn't get rid of it.
Mu Xiang's reckless appearance, Lin Haoqi had already seen it, and he didn't think much about it, and went straight inside.
Lin Wanwan in the house found that Mu Xiang had not come back yet, and she was also a little anxious, so she tied her cloak and went out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his brother, and Mu Xiang was following him tremblingly, glaring at her.
It was really difficult to understand Mu Xiang's prompt, Lin Wanwan's heart beat a little hard to look at her brother's face, and she was relieved to find that he didn't notice anything.
"Wanwan looks so good today." Lin Haoqi looked at his sister who was approaching and praised.
Lin Wanwan's smile was a little sweeter, and she replied playfully: "I look good every day!" ”
The stinky and cute appearance provoked Lin Haoqi to raise his hand and twist his sister's nose again, but Lin Wanwan knew about it and avoided it, and the brother and sister laughed and went out of the courtyard before and after. Before leaving the courtyard, Lin Wanwan took advantage of her brother's inattention to squeeze to Mu Xiang's side, and hid the baby's fist-sized dough into her sleeve.
When the brothers and sisters arrived at the upper room of Fulu Courtyard, the masters of the General's Mansion had already arrived, and there was laughter and laughter inside.
"Grandmother, Wanwan wishes you eternal bloom and happiness like the East China Sea!"
As soon as Lin Wanwan entered, she walked straight to the old lady Chen who was sitting on the Huanghuali wood arhat bed, knelt down and kowtowed. Lin Haoqi also lifted his robe and kowtowed and said birthday greetings.
Mrs. Chen looked at the two precious grandsons, and she smiled like flowers, and happily asked the two to get up quickly. Then he pulled Lin Wanwan in his arms, looked at her look carefully, and saw that her eyes were clear and her smiling eyes were slightly relieved. Thinking that she should still be a child, I forgot about it after one night.
Lin Haoqi sat down at the hands of his cousins, and looked at the grandparents and grandchildren who were talking in a low voice with a warm smile, and he was also relieved in his heart.
At the same time, it was not only Lin Haoqi who was looking at Lin Wanwan, it could be said that everyone's eyes in the room were focused on her. Lin Wanwan's two uncles and aunts all looked at her with doting and satisfied eyes, and her three cousins had a strange flush on their faces, and then looked at each other with a very tacit understanding, revealing a very strange wry smile.
"Old lady, the report from the concierge is that the second aunt and grandmother are back."
It was when the atmosphere in the house was secretly treacherous, and the sound of the report came from outside the thick curtain, and when the time came, the room was so quiet that there was no sound.
Lin Wanwan knew that the second aunt was referring to her stepmother, and although she had made achievements in her heart, the whole person still trembled irrepressibly.
Sensing the movements of her granddaughter in her arms, Old Madam Chen's smile sank, and her voice was cold: "When will there be a second aunt and grandmother in the General's Mansion, that is Mrs. Shangshu!" ”
"Mother, my daughter-in-law asked people to put breakfast in the warm pavilion in the east room of the front hall, and now there are guests coming to the door, so it is better to move to the front hall."
It was Lin Wanwan's aunt Li who relieved the atmosphere in a timely manner, and the lady who was beautiful and gentle in nature was also handed over to her now.
Mrs. Chen didn't know that her eldest daughter-in-law was in the round field, but the guest metaphor that fell into her ears was very good, so she also gave her face and said with a smile, This arrangement is very good.
Old Madam Chen nodded, and everyone gathered around her and went to the front hall.
Lin Wanwan and the other juniors fell behind, and at this time, she sighed and asked the young man in Tsing Yi with a side face: "Big cousin, what about my grandfather." ”
Chen Mingyi, who was asked, stopped talking with his younger brother and said with a smile: "My grandfather said that he wanted to prepare a birthday gift for my grandmother, and I didn't see him in the morning. ”
Hearing this, Lin Wanwan sighed, and secretly said in his heart that his grandfather must have made strange things to please his grandmother, and he also envied the relationship between the two elders. Then Si Xu turned to the somewhat heavy dough in his sleeve, thinking that her stepmother was here, and she was going to use some excuse to leave for half a meeting.
At this time, Lin Wanwan's other two cousins secretly hugged their fists towards Chen Mingyi, the smile on Chen Mingyi's face became extremely unnatural, and a resolute handsome face slowly flushed. Looking at Lin Wanwan's eyes, there was a strange dodge...
