Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Limelight
After Bai Lian went back, he heard Bai Ning say that it turned out that the prince of Rongxing Hou only arrived in Yongzhou last night, and he came with him the second son of Rongxing Hou, Lu Yu.
Thinking of the things that Lu Yu had done to Zhou Derong in her previous life, Bai Lian hated it so much that she was so distracted that she didn't even pay attention to what was being said in the hall.
I don't know who mentioned the birthday gift, many people followed suit, Lu said this, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and said:
"My seven girls, I love calligraphy when I was a child, and I said early that I wanted to write a word for my grandfather and grandmother to congratulate my birthday, I looked dizzy when I looked at those words, dense, a whole hundred birthday words, none of them were the same, but it took a lot of effort."
After Lu finished speaking, many other ladies seconded the proposal, all praising Bai Ning.
The maids even took the painting up in response to the occasion, and it was extremely rare for everyone to see that Bai Ning had this skill and mind at a young age.
Even Li also nodded appreciatively, and the others were full of praise, Wei looked at the word, his face was a little unsightly, there was Bai Ning's word first, once Bai Lian's was taken out, Bai Ning would be compared to Bai Ning, anyone could see that Lu wanted Bai Ning to be in the limelight, if there was a gap because of this matter, it would be much more embarrassing to meet in the future.
Wei went to see Bai Lian, only to see her sitting on the side in a trance, as if she didn't notice the scene in front of her at all, Wei was about to remind Bai Lian, when he saw Bai Rong stand up, bow to Mrs. Bai Yingying, and said:
"Grandmother, my granddaughter has also prepared a birthday gift for you, and my granddaughter has been filming since last winter, and she drew a picture of the four gentlemen and made a screen for her grandmother. The granddaughter knew that her grandfather loved the wind and bones of bamboo, and she also drew a bamboo rhyme diagram for her grandfather. ”
Bai Rong said, and asked the maid to bring the birthday gift.
Speaking of which, Bai Rong's painting is really good, and she is young, although this brush is not strong and charming, but it is rare to put Bai Rong at such an age.
Everyone was amazed, and the praise was endless, and Li said playfully on the side:
"Old lady. Your granddaughters are the envy of others. ”
Old Madam Bai laughed constantly. He even said a few good words in his mouth, and he also accepted all the compliments given by others.
While Mrs. Bai was happy, she did not forget Bai Lian, and Bai Lian's annual birthday gift was carefully prepared. The most attentive of all the granddaughters. Old Madam Bai knew early on that Bai Lian was preparing for her birthday gift. Although I don't know what it is, I think that it will take her more than half a year to prepare, and it is definitely not bad. So, Old Madam Bai looked at Bai Lian, who was sitting on the side, beckoned and said:
"Sister Lian, come here, come to grandmother."
It was Bai He who tugged the corner of Bai Lian's clothes, Bai Lian came back to her senses, and when she saw the old lady calling herself, she stood up, walked over, and stood beside the old lady Bai after saluting.
Old Madam Bai took her hand and asked:
"Grandmother has already heard from your nurse, you started to prepare for your grandmother's birthday in the spring, why don't you take it out today?"
Bai Lian was about to speak, when she saw Wei Shi giving herself a look, she was stunned, she didn't know what happened just now, so she really didn't understand Wei Shi's eyes, thinking that Wei Shi wanted to let herself say that the two pictures were embroidered by herself, and she didn't go to her heart.
So, Bai Lian replied to Mrs. Bai's words with a smile and said:
"Grandmother is really, you have to pretend not to know if you know, otherwise, there will be no surprise."
Old Madam Bai smiled and nodded at her, and saw Bai Lian beckoning, and Cherry and Lychee walked in with two embroidered pictures, and Bai Lian said when she saw it:
"Grandmother, look, this is embroidered with my mother, my mother's needlework is skillful, and the font shown is better than mine, so it's my heart and my mother's heart, you and your grandfather don't dislike it."
After Bai Lian's words were finished, everyone's attention fell on the two embroideries, two pictures, one for Baishou and one for Baifu.
At first, Old Madam Bai was stunned, and then the smile on Lu's face was a little stiff, and Bai Lian didn't know why, so she looked at Old Madam Bai suspiciously.
Old Madam Bai knew Bai Lian, and after seeing the look in her eyes, she guessed that she didn't know what had just happened, and patted her hand soothingly and said:
"It's hard for you and your mother, you want to go with your seventh sister, and your seventh sister also wrote a picture of longevity, your sisters really have a heart."
Only then did Bai Lian know why Lu's reaction was so strange, Bai Ning first took out a written Baishou diagram, and then took out his own embroidery, one was written, the other was embroidered, and the height was immediately reflected, no wonder Lu was unhappy.
Only then did Bai Lian understand what Wei meant by giving her a look, but it was too late.
Bai Lian didn't want Bai Ning to look bad on her face, so she walked up to her Baishou diagram and said enviously:
"Seventh Sister's words are so good, that's like me, I can't take the words, I can only make up for them on the needle and thread."
The sincerity of what Bai Lian said and the envy in her eyes made Bai Ning's face a lot better, and she only heard Bai Ning say modestly:
"The ninth sister made fun of me, where do I have such a sister mind, I have been preparing for my grandfather and grandmother since the spring, if you talk about filial piety, the ninth sister is the first."
After listening to the two of them, Li Shi pulled the two of them over with a smile and said:
"Filial piety is the same, it's rare for the two of you to have their minds."
As soon as Li opened his mouth, Lu also opened his mouth to second, and then the old lady called both of them over, held them in her arms, and spoke happily.
Bai Rong watched them just expose it and not mention it, and she was secretly angry, the birthday gift that she had bothered to prepare was ready to show some limelight, and it passed like this, and she was naturally angry in her heart.
When entering the banquet, Bai Rong was still angry in her heart. If Bai Lian and Bai Ning were estranged just now, although they couldn't shake Bai Lian or anything, they could disgust her anyway.
Taking advantage of Bai Lian's absence, Bai Rong was still provoking this matter in front of Bai Ning.
"Seventh sister, today the ninth sister is really in the limelight, filial piety, and was praised and humble by the Lu family's aunt, there is no one in this room who is not praised, even I have hot eyes when I see it."
Although this matter has passed, Bai Ning still responds in his heart, Bai Rong's words of provocation like this will sound like a stone in Bai Ning's ears. Bai Ning sank her face at that time, put down the chopsticks with a snap, tilted her head to look at Bai Rong, and said angrily:
"What do you do all day except hot eyes? Take good care of your eyes and beware of red eye. ”
After Bai Ning finished speaking, he stood up and went to another table, no longer next to Bai Rong.
