Although no one has come up with a good way, they will not agree lightly to the kitten fluttering butterfly.

Everyone looked at An Ruolan, waiting for her to explain.

An Ruolan bent her lips and smiled, pursed her lips and did not speak.

An Ruoke couldn't help but push her and complained: "Don't sell it, otherwise I will ignore you again!" ”

This is stepping on An Ruolan's death hole, the two have just reconciled, and she doesn't want to make trouble again.

Sighing helplessly, she had no choice but to say honestly: "You come here with your ears, I will whisper to you, I can't let others know about this." ”

Everyone was amused when they saw her mysterious, but they still leaned over as she said.

An Ruolan lowered her voice and told everyone what she thought, and when she finished speaking, the eyes of the three older ones were already bright.

"Wonderful! It's wonderful! An Wenyan slapped the table and shouted, his eyes shining.

"It's really wonderful, and it's up to you to think about it." An Wensheng echoed with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation and eagerness.

"What a whimsy!" An Ruojin shook her head in admiration.

"Huh? What's wonderful, what's wonderful? The two young ones still didn't know why, so they grabbed An Ruolan's arm and asked differently.

Even after listening to the explanation, An Ruoke and An Ruoyan still didn't understand.

The stupid appearance of the two made An Ruolan suddenly feel a sense of helplessness and frustration with Niu playing the piano, and she couldn't help but sigh faintly.

Seeing this, An Wensheng and the three of them laughed, An Ruojin patted the heads of the two cousins funny, and said with a smile: "You two have to study hard in the future, otherwise you will be compared to Sister Lan." There was a bit of banter in his tone.

An Ruoke was unwilling to be compared to her sister, and pouted: "Sister Lan has read more books than me, but I paint better than her!" ”

"And me!" An Ruoyan was not to be outdone, raised her hand and said, "Father also said that I am good at mixing tones and fragrances!" ”

"Okay, good, you two are amazing." As the eldest brother, An Wensheng praised softly.

"Hee-hee." Only then did the two of them become happy.

An Ruolan looked at the gentle and steady eldest brother, frowned slightly, and she suddenly remembered a very important matter.

After a pause, she asked, "Big brother, who is older between you and Cousin Yi?" ”

Unsure if that happened this year, she turned around and asked.

An Wensheng was stunned, although he was puzzled, he still replied: "The prince of Jin is the same year as me, but I am half a year older than him. ”

That's right.

An Ruolan nodded secretly.

With a roll of her eyes, she quietly said to everyone: "The day after tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday, we had better finish painting tomorrow, or the morning after tomorrow at the latest, otherwise we won't be able to catch up." ”

"Yes, we have to hurry." The other five all nodded.

When it came to business, everyone was stern, and even An Ruoke had a round little face.

"I'll think about the general content of the whole painting tonight, and tomorrow morning, let's get together the brothers and sisters who are willing to contribute, and after discussing it, we will start immediately." An Wensheng knocked on the edge of the table and said solemnly.

"Then I'll prepare pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other utensils." An Wenyan said.

"The four of us sisters are responsible for communicating with the rest of the siblings." An Ruojin said, and An Ruolan and the three of them all agreed.

"Okay, let's split up." An Wensheng smiled.

Everyone nodded in unison.

At this time, An Ruolan said: "Can you not tell everyone the meaning of the painting?" ”

This sentence made everyone stunned.

"But if we don't tell everyone, maybe not many people will agree to join us, and everyone has their own ideas and wants to prepare a gift for Grandmother alone." An Ruojin frowned slightly.

To put it mildly, after all, a birthday gift prepared by a person does not have to worry about the credit being snatched away by others.

Everyone wants to be brilliant and want to be favored by their grandmother.

Although she said before that it doesn't matter if there are more people, she still hopes that the more people there are, the better, so that her grandmother will be happier.

An Ruolan pursed her lips and did not speak.

She thought more than An Ruojin thought.

The meaning of the kitten fluttering butterfly is novel and chic, once it spreads, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no people with other thoughts, she just doesn't want to let her mind be used by others.

She doesn't care how much credit she makes, but she hopes that everyone is sincere and agrees without any purpose.

As for the meaning of someone who understands the meaning of the kitten fluttering butterflies on their own, this is what she can't do, after all, this kind of practice can only prevent most people, not everyone.

No matter how innocent and childish she pretends to be on weekdays, she is always a person who has experienced life and death, and she is always defensive against most people.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, An Wensheng was the first to speak, he nodded and said, "I agree with Sister Lan's opinion, this is a birthday gift for my grandmother, and I don't want people with impure motives to come to us." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone understood, and they all nodded in agreement.

After the discussion, the six of them dispersed and acted in three groups.

The four sisters went to An Ruojin's room to have dinner together, and discussed their arguments to the rest of the brothers and sisters, and then went their separate ways. An Ruolan and An Ruoyan were young and easy to walk around in the front yard, so they invited their brothers, and An Ruojin and An Ruoke invited the sisters in the backyard.

An Ruolan and An Ruoyan were the first to find An Wenqi.

There's a reason for that.

Don't look at An Wenqi's usual hanging, he is not in shape, in fact, he is the leader of the younger generation in the Shengjing City painting circle, An Ruolan even remembers that this second brother will become a master in the painting world in the future. And the second brother is especially good at landscape flower and bird painting.

An Wenqi is used to talking, as soon as he heard that everyone was going to work together to paint for his grandmother's birthday, he didn't think about it, so he agreed, and coincidentally, he had the idea of painting himself as a birthday gift.

The two sides hit it off, and An Wenqi also helped An Ruolan and the two to invite other brothers with great interest.

To say that An Wenqi is also big-hearted, he didn't even know what he wanted to paint, so he agreed.

However, as An Ruojin said, most people have their own ideas, and some have prepared the birthday gift a long time ago, and the surface image of the kitten fluttering butterflies seems too child's play, so not many people agreed at the beginning.

After a lot of busyness, in the end, only the two brothers of An Wenqi and An Wenwen's family, plus An Wenjun, and the three concubines agreed.

An Wenjun's promise was beyond An Ruolan's expectations, but after thinking about it, she realized. It's good to be in the limelight alone, but the latter is obviously more useful than getting closer to the rest of her siblings, and she remembers that An Wenjun has already entered the clan school, and he needs connections.

At the same time, it is easier to win the favor of grandmothers by preparing congratulatory gifts with everyone.

It can be seen that An Wenjun is deeper than she knows.

Although she was a little repulsed, she didn't say much.

Add the original six people, and they have twelve people, which is enough.

It was also agreed that Ming'er would meet in the cross-courtyard of the East Courtyard of Yirong Yuan after inviting An, and the matter of inviting people would be completed.

Then, An Ruoke and An Ruoyan went back to their rooms to rest, and An Ruolan discussed tomorrow's arrangements with An Ruojin.

Halfway through speaking, An Ruojin sighed, and suddenly said: "When I went to Xinyue Garden with Sister Yan today, I didn't see An Ruoxian, Ming'er asked my grandmother to be on time, you can find a chance to talk to her." ”

She couldn't say it directly, it was the fifth aunt who didn't let them see An Ruoxian at all, just like a wolf.

An Ruolan was stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The two continued to discuss tomorrow.

Nothing happened overnight.

Early in the morning of the second day, An Ruolan stopped Meng and An Ruoxian, who had come to invite An, in front of Yirong Yuan, and explained their intentions.

"Painting together as a birthday gift?" Meng Shi frowned, his face full of disapproval, and said, "Lan'er, if you want to mess around, I can't control you, but you can't drag your sister into the water!" ”

Pursing the corners of her lips, An Ruolan did not refute.

An Ruoxian secretly evoked a mocking smile, and then patted Meng's hand and soothed: "Mother, although Sister Lan's method is a bit opportunistic, she also wants to express her filial piety to her grandmother, don't be angry." Then he turned to An Ruolan and asked obediently, "What does Sister Lan plan to draw for grandmother?" ”

An Ruolan didn't seem to understand that she was deliberately taking eye medicine, so she only smiled faintly and said, "Yesterday, Sanniang gave a cat to my grandmother, and my grandmother liked it very much, so we planned to draw a picture of a kitten fluttering butterflies, and wished my grandmother a long and healthy life." ”

"Poof-" An Ruoxian burst out laughing, and Meng's face became more and more ugly.

"It's nonsense! Even if you want to paint, you are painting things that symbolize longevity, such as pine cranes and evergreen trees, you are just playing tricks! Your grandmother really hurts you for nothing! Meng Shi reprimanded angrily, and then without waiting for An Ruolan to speak again, she refused on her behalf: "You make trouble with you, Xian'er doesn't participate, she wants to follow me to learn the piano, and the day after tomorrow I can give your grandmother a song." ”

After that, he directly pulled An Ruoxian past An Ruolan and entered the door.

An Ruolan stood in front of the courtyard gate for a while, and then turned around and walked towards Songhe Hall.

This morning, Meng Shi didn't give An Ruolan a good look, and An Ruoxian kept looking at her gloatingly.

An Ruoxian felt that An Ruolan was stupid, she almost wondered if An Ruolan was really a reborn, otherwise why was An Ruolan still so stupid and naïve after being reborn? The kitten fluttered butterflies, and she could figure it out, this kind of fooling children dared to take it out at the birthday banquet, and she was not afraid of losing the face of the An family! An Ruojin's group of people is too, they dare to accompany An Ruolan to mess around like this, she really wants to know which idiots have joined, she can't wait to see how they make a fool of themselves at the birthday banquet!

An Ruoxian was happy that An Ruolan and others had killed themselves.

After greeting the peace, according to the agreement, twelve people gathered in the cross courtyard of the east courtyard of Yirong Yuan.

An Ruojin had already let the mother-in-law put it on the long table.

An Wensheng took out the painting that he rushed out last night, spread it out and put it on the table, and said: "This is the general content of the whole painting, let's take a look first and see if there are any other opinions." ”R1152
