The plan of the Chen family and his wife, but Chen Wenhui did not know. Chen Wenhui has been very busy during this time. She's making perfume real yàn. Of course, she didn't do it herself. With her six-year-old hands, she really couldn't do anything. The good thing here is in ancient times. She had a lot of servants to help. Now she is asking Qingshuang to lead Green Sprout and Qiubi to help.

First, the flowers in the garden are collected, and then the fragrance is extracted by distillation. Surprisingly, Qingshuang is familiar with this. It turned out that Qingshuang had learned to make zuò fragrant cakes in her house, as well as cosmetics such as zuò lipstick and light powder.

In this era, in addition to some cosmetics bought from those century-old shops, some of them were made in their own homes. Qingshuang once studied it specially. Chen Wenhui knew that it was no wonder that her wife looked so white and tender, and it turned out to be her own exclusive beauty secret.

Chen Wenhui explained the principle to Qingshuang, and then left it to Qingshuang to tinker with herself. She has more important things to do. It's planning her birthday party.

The first is eating. In fact, you don't have to worry about the food when you eat in Qinghe Building. Because Chen Wenhui had invited their girlfriends to eat in Qinghe Building before, these little girls like to eat Qinghe Lou's meal. Of course, now the whole Anseong people like to eat the dishes of Gyeonghwalou. However, Chen Wenhui was not satisfied with this, because her birthday was also the birthday of the lotus flower, so she wanted to have a unique lotus banquet.

In a blink of an eye, it's June 24. On this day, Chen Wenhui got up early in the morning, put on the new clothes that had been designed a long time ago, and came to Bai's room. Bai Shi's eyes lit up as soon as he saw his daughter enter the door.

I saw that my daughter was wearing a moon-white silk shirt, and the shirt was covered with a layer of pink light yarn, like a layer of pink mist shrouded around my daughter. On his head he wears a crown of lotus flowers made of silk, and on the crown falls pearls, like dewdrops. Chen Wenhui and Yingying bowed, and Bai and Chen Yuanheng hurriedly helped their daughter up.

Because it was Chen Wenhui's birthday, Chen Yuanheng, and Chen Wenjun, Chen Wenlin went out later. At this moment, Chen Wenhui was stunned when she saw Chen Wenhui, who looked like a little fairy.

Bai said: "Hui'er, where did you get the clothes from, and when did the flower crown be made, I don't know?" Chen Wenhui was very proud: "I painted the patterns myself a long time ago and let Feiguang do it for me." The flower crown was sewn by Feiguang himself, and the pearl was bought at Wanjiayinlou. Because I don't have much money per month, I can only buy these millet beads. How's that, is it good-looking? I want to dress up as a lotus fairy. ”

Chen Wenlin surrounded his sister and said, "Isn't it a little fairy?" My sister is the lotus fairy, so good-looking. It turns out that my sister will also design clothes, and she will design one for me on my birthday. Chen Wenhui smiled: "Second brother, I can't design a tiger robe, but I can design a tiger robe, and let someone sew one for you another day." ”

Bai Shi smiled and said, "Hui'er looks very good. Lin'er, don't wear a tiger robe, I see that whatever you wear is a monkey robe. ”

Everyone laughed when they said it. Chen Wenlin was embarrassed. Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "This is Hui'er's birthday, my father and mother have prepared red envelopes for you. As he spoke, he asked Bai to take out a red envelope. Chen Wenhui hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

Chen Wenjun also said to his sister: "I also prepared a gift for you, wishing you a healthy and happy year after year." Chen Wenlin said: "I have also prepared a gift for you, I wish you a long and happy smile." Chen Wenhui thanked him. The family made breakfast together.

After the meal, the Chen family went their separate ways. Chen Wenhui ran back to the room to see the gift she had gotten. The red envelope given by the parents is very affordable, and it is a silver ticket of one hundred taels. Chen Wenhui is very satisfied, it seems that her parents love her very much. You must know that she only has ten taels of silver a month.

It's like a year. Twenty taels for an ordinary person is enough to live for a year. Chen Wenhui asked Qiu Bi to put it away for herself. It's up to the eldest brother Chen Wenjun to give something. Open the brocade box to see, is a set of sheep's hair pens, the size is there, a total of five, the workmanship is very good, is the best pen. Chen Wenhui was very happy and let Qiu Bi collect it. Looking at the second brother's again, when the brocade box was opened, it was a pair of red lacquer bracelets. The bracelet is carved with lotus flowers, which is very beautiful. It seems that the second brother is carefully selected, the price is not expensive, but exquisite.

Chen Wenhui also took it to Qiu Bi to collect. At this time, the big girls in her yard came to congratulate her on her birthday. Feiguang sent a very delicate lotus purse with a lotus pattern on all sides, and Yinhong sent a lotus-shaped wind. Qiu Bi and Lu Ya were both small, so they each embroidered a handkerchief for her. Chen Wenhui sincerely thanked all the gifts, regardless of the value of the gifts.

In the blink of an eye, in the morning, Chen Wenhui and Yin Hong came to Qinghe Building in a car. On the way, Chen Wenhui asked Yinhong: "Sister Yinhong, have you prepared all the lotus banquets I asked you to prepare?" “

Yin Hong smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, I have been ready for a long time, and I will not miss the girl's affairs." However, girl, how did you come up with it, not only to wear lotus flowers but also to eat lotus flowers. Chen Wenhui said proudly: "Who made me a lotus birthday, of course, I have to wear lotus, eat lotus, and I have to listen to lotus." Hurry up and cook, and then come to the water pavilion to listen to the music, I specially asked someone to sing the lotus song I made. “

Yin Hong said, "Okay, girl, I will listen to you, and I will make your meal on the table in a while, and teach my apprentices to do the rest." Then I'll go to your place and listen to what a lotus song is. Chen Wenhui raised her head proudly. The conversation was big in Qinghelou, and Qinghelou had already set aside a water pavilion for Chen Wenhui to entertain.

Entered the Water Pavilion. Chen Wenhui called Chen Qing, who was in charge of the shop, and asked, "Brother Chen Qing, the person I asked you to find, have you finished rehearsing?" Chen Qing first gave Chen Wenhui a joy, and then said, "Girl, don't worry." I'm Miss Fangfang, the best singer in our restaurant. She learned the girl's music and couldn't stop praising and saying that it was good, and she had already rehearsed it carefully. A dance was also choreographed, and it was performed on a stage in the center of the pond for a while. ”

Chen Wenhui was very happy: "She is very smart, if she performs well in a while, I will be rewarded." Chen Qing hurriedly said, "Then I'll thank the girl for her first." As she was talking, Qiu Bi came over and said, "Girl, Miss Wang has come." ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly greeted him. Wang Yaozhen was shocked when she saw Chen Wenhui. Surrounding Chen Wenhui was so excited that she couldn't do it, and before she could say anything, Qiu Bi said, "The girl from the Lan family is here." ”

While speaking, Lan Caiyu, Lan Yingyu and Wan Meizhen came hand in hand. I was also surprised to see Chen Wenhui. Especially Lan Caiyu, she couldn't help but reach out and touch Chen Wenhui's clothes: "Actually, this yarn is rare, it is the new far-shadow yarn this year." My sister and I have several, but we didn't even want to wear them like this. This kind of moon white silk is the most common, but I didn't expect to make the base and make this yarn look so good. ”

Chen Wenhui was very proud: "If you look good, you can go back and do it." Wan Meizhen is interested in Chen Wenhui's lotus crown. She was a head taller than Chen Wenhui, and she just reached out to touch Chen Wenhui's flower crown: "Sister, did you also let people do this yourself?" I've heard people say that you are clever and so good-looking. It's much better than the people in our building. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Sister, I still bought this pearl in your building." Okay, let's stop standing here. Let's go inside. There will be surprises in a moment. In a word, the little girls were looking forward to it.

After entering the Water Pavilion for a while, and according to the last seat, Wang Yaozhen and the others were busy congratulating Chen Wenhui on her birthday and giving gifts. Chen Wenhui didn't look at it, so she let Qiu Bi take it.

After a while, the dish was served. First, there are four cold dishes, which are normal dishes, but on each plate there is a vivid lotus flower, which is blue and white. These girls were amazed. Lan Yingyu stretched out her hand and stuck one, put it in her hand and looked at it, it turned out to be carved out of a radish.

Lan Yingyu couldn't put it down: "Sister Hui, it's really embarrassing for your cook, how do you do it, I thought it was a real lotus, can you eat this?" Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "This is just for seeing, you can eat it, but I don't know if your body can stand it if you eat radish raw?" ”

Lan Caiyu said to her sister: "You, how old are you, you just want to eat, such a beautiful thing, how can you eat it, even our embroidery is not so good-looking." Wan Meizhen said: "The lotus pattern made of gemstones in our silver building is not as clear and beautiful as this." Chen Wenhui smiled: "How can it be so good, it's just a radish, and even a gem is compared." Eat it. Later, there will be dishes made with real lotus flowers. Even Wang Yaozhen was surprised, "Can lotus still cook?" ”

As he spoke, the dishes came up. There are not many, Chen Wenhui introduced them one by one: "This soup is made of lotus leaves, this dish is copied from lotus roots, lotus flower cores are placed in this dish, and this dessert is made of lotus seeds." There is also this porridge, which is the most beautiful one, made of lotus flowers and lotus seeds, and boiled out of lotus leaf water. ”

The little girls were very surprised, and they tasted it one by one, and sure enough, there was a fragrance of lotus leaves, and they were full of praise. was eating lively, Yin Hong came in and said to Chen Wenhui: "Chen Qing's shopkeeper said that the girls are all in his bad place, please show the girl, can you start performing now?" ”

Wang Yaozhen heard it first: "There is also a performance, what kind of performance?" Chen Wenhui said: "It's time to perform." "Here the mother-in-law hurriedly removed the paper door of the wall facing the pond in the water pavilion, put it aside, and put down the light veil on this wall, so that the inside could see the outside, but the outside could not see the inside. Leaning on these light yarns is a row of beauties, and the little girls are busy squeezing over.

I saw that the pond was full of lotus flowers, some pink, some white, some red, dancing with the wind, very enchanting, these girls all praised this flower blooming well. Chen Wenhui just smiled and said nothing. As he spoke, a small boat flashed out of the lotus flowers in the pond, and a beautiful woman dressed in lotus leaves stood on the boat.
