The child born to Lan Peng, who is the sister-in-law of the Lan family, and Qing Wen'er, the daughter of the Qing family, although she is still a girl, she has the blood of the two families in her body. So the birth of this child certainly attracted a lot of attention.

"Raw?" A middle-aged woman of about forty years old, dressed elegantly can not hide her noble temperament, although she is forty years old, her skin is still like a thirty-year-old woman, and it can be seen that she is well maintained.

A grandmother about her age beside her supported her left arm, followed by four maids. This person is Mrs. Lan, the mother of the Lan family, and Huang Yanran, the mother of Lan Peng.

There is only one family surnamed Huang on this continent, and that is the Huang family in charge of the four cities. Huang Yanran is the concubine of the Huang family, although she is a concubine, her mother's education of her is not lost to the concubines of any family, so she can have the momentum to be the head mother of the Lan family.

"Raw? Boys and girls? As soon as Madame Lan entered the courtyard, she greeted the grandmother who was outside the bedroom, and it could be seen that he was also very happy.

Mama saluted Mrs. Lan and replied happily: "Mrs. Hui's words, she was born, and she was a girl." ”

When Mrs. Lan heard this, she immediately laughed: "Hello girl, girl knows how to hurt her mother." ”

It sounds like Mrs. Lan is not a patriarchal person.

A group of people who had just come in at the gate of the courtyard smiled when they heard Mrs. Lan's words and said, "Yes, the girl is good!" ”

"The young lady is blessed!"

The people who just came in were the aunts of the Lan clan patriarch, followed by their own maids. These people should be really happy, after all, it is much better to give birth to a girl than to give birth to a boy, and if Lan Peng, who is a son-in-law, is giving birth to a boy, then it is not a good thing for him to continue his lineage.

Of course, Mrs. Lan knows that these people are not really happy for their sons and daughters-in-law, why are they happy, Mrs. Lan understands very well, as long as they are honest and don't do anything, Mrs. Lan is also willing to turn a blind eye.

Madame Lan turned around, glanced at the aunts indifferently, turned her head and smiled again and went into the bedroom.

When several aunts saw Mrs. Lan's eyes, they instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and they knew Mrs. Lan's methods. Don't look at Mrs. Lan is very kind, but if anyone steps on her bottom line, she will never show mercy.

Several aunts didn't dare to say anything more, and then went in to say hello to Lan Peng and Qing Wen'er.

As soon as Mrs. Lan entered, she saw the child lying on Qing Wen'er's pillow, she approached the bed, gently picked up the child, and teased happily.

When Qing Wen'er saw that her mother-in-law was coming, she struggled to get up and salute, and Mrs. Lan hurriedly asked her to lie down and not move.

"Wen'er, this woman can't be careless in confinement, you are weak after giving birth, what kind of etiquette do you do, there will be opportunities in the future."

"Yes, Mother." Qing Wen'er said softly that she still respects her mother-in-law very much, although her mother-in-law has a noble status, she has always been hands-on in charge of family affairs, and she has never made any mistakes.

When the aunts who came in later heard Mrs. Lan's words, they naturally didn't dare to make a big deal and let Qing Wen'er salute them.

They walked up to the child, looked at the child and said, "This child has grown up to be a beautiful embryo." ”

"Look how much she looks like her mother!"

Several aunts complimented.

"Did you take a name?" Madame Lan looked at her son.

"I haven't returned to my mother yet, I just gave birth, and I haven't thought about it yet! Otherwise, my mother will take one. Lan Peng replied.

"This name is still your parent's choice, so it makes sense!" Madame Blue continued to tease the little granddaughter in her arms.

"It's better for my mother to take it, Brother Peng and I have no experience, so I don't know how to take it." Qing Wen'er said when she heard this.

"Okay, just this once, and you'll have to take it yourself if you have another child in the future." Mrs. Lan is really happy today, and she has never lowered the corners of her mouth since she came to this courtyard.

It's just that who knows that Qing Wen'er will never have the opportunity to name her child in the future.

"Yes, I'm going to bother my mother this time." Lan Peng said respectfully.

"This child has such aura in his eyes and snow-white skin when he is born, so he is called Lan Lingxue! What do you think? Mrs. Lan looked at Lan Peng and his wife inquiringly.

"Lan Lingxue! This is a nice name, Wen'er, what do you think? "Lan Peng heard how aura the girl took this name, good, it's good! But he still asked his wife for advice.

"Lan Lingxue! Cher! How could it be bad for a mother to get a name! Thank you Mother. Qing Wen'er also likes this name.

"If you like it!" As she spoke, Mrs. Lan put the child aside in the cradle and said to Qing Wen'er, "You have a good rest, I will come to see you another day!" ”

"Yes, congratulations to Mother!" Qing Wen'er and Lan Peng said together.

Turning his head and looking at it coldly, the aunts who wore heavy makeup said, "Let's go back, such a heavy smell of fat powder on the body is not good for children." ”

When the aunts heard this, they were nervous, for fear that their wife would punish them.

Madame Lan didn't say much, and left with her maid. Several aunts followed.

A group of people hula all went out, and the air in the whole room seemed to be fresh.

Two years later

In an elegant courtyard, a two-year-old girl ran around in the yard, and under the pavilion in the courtyard, Qing Wen'er sat at the stone table and watched the little girl.

"Cher, slow down, beware of falling!" Qing Wen'er said softly.

This little girl is Lan Lingxue, two-year-old Lan Lingxue is still unsteady walking, but she just can't sit quietly for half an hour. Even if she fell, she rarely cried, got up and continued to play.

Lan Lingxue heard Qing Wen'er shouting to herself, ran to Qing Wen'er's side, and climbed onto her lap: "Mother, hug!" ”

Two-year-olds can only speak simple words.

"Look at your little hands are dirty, your mother's clothes have your little handprints." Qing Wen'er said funny and angry.

"Mother, it's good-looking!" Lan Lingxue's eyes purred, and she pressed her dirty little hand on Qing Wen'er's silk clothes, and there were two more small handprints on the clothes in an instant, and the little girl giggled.

"Naughty, you make your mother's clothes like this, how can your mother go out to meet people for a while?" Qing Wen'er couldn't cry or laugh, and the more she talked, the more energetic she became.

"Good-looking, good-looking!" Lan Lingxue repeated these two words, in her cognition, there was nothing wrong with this, where did she understand why she couldn't see people when her clothes were dirty.

"Good, good-looking! You go wash your hands with Hui'er first, and your mother goes to change your clothes. Qing Wen'er put Lan Lingxue down as she spoke, and Hui'er stepped forward to hold Lan Lingxue to wash her hands.

Hui'er is the maid that Lan Peng pointed out to take care of Lan Lingxue.

Qing Wen'er saw that Lan Lingxue was taken away by Hui'er, and she also got up and went to the room to change clothes.

Unconsciously, more than ten years have passed in a flash, and now Lan Lingxue is no longer the little girl who will press her dirty little hands on her mother's clothes.

Lan Lingxue is fifteen years old, and she is about to get married, some girls have already been married at the age of twelve or thirteen, but Lan Lingxue is fifteen years old but has not yet decided on a marriage, just because Qing Wen'er is too reluctant to have this only daughter.

Qing Wen'er has not been pregnant since she gave birth to Lan Lingxue, and many doctors have said that her body is fine.

Lan Peng later accepted two more aunts, and also gave birth to two daughters and a son one after another, but he never saw Qing Wen'er's stomach move again. Lan Peng was also gradually disheartened, although his aunt gave birth to a son, but he was not a son-in-law after all.

Today's Lan Peng has inherited the position of the head of the Lan family, and if he has no son-in-law, he symbolizes the position of the patriarch after himself, and he has to change to another lineage to sit.

The Huang Dynasty stipulated that if the patriarch had no son to succeed him, the patriarch could choose a suitable candidate for the position of patriarch.

Today is the 60th birthday of the old lady of the Lan family, and after the death of the previous patriarch of the Lan family, the Lan family has not been so lively for a long time. Lan Peng, the current patriarch of the Lan family, wanted to take advantage of his mother's sixtieth birthday to let the Lan family regain its previous glory.

Lan Peng is now thirty-six, and his beard is very majestic. is no longer the young boy he was back then, he stood in the lobby, watching the busyness of the maid inside and out, and his solemn face showed a bit of solemnity.

With his mother's birthday banquet today, Lan Peng sent invitations to all seven major families. The four major families of yellow, green, blue and purple will definitely come, and even if the patriarch of the Orange family does not come, they should send people to celebrate their birthday. As for the Chi family, in the past, any family sent an invitation to the Chi family, but the Chi family never paid attention to it, and I don't know if the Chi family will send someone here today.

Lan Peng attaches great importance to today's birthday banquet, and all the people who come are big shots, so there must be no mistakes. He personally stared at the things in the front hall,

Let Mrs. Lan Qingwen'er personally stare at the back kitchen.

Backyard, Lan Lingxue's Snow Garden.

Xueyuan is the word inscribed by Lan Peng himself, and it is named after the snow in Lan Lingxue's name.

There are many precious flowers planted in the yard, all of which were collected by Qing Wen'er for Lan Lingxue. There was a gazebo on one side of the courtyard, and the gazebo was crawling with grape branches. Under the gazebo is a stone table, on which also places a needlework basket made of bamboo. In the sewing basket is a half-embroidered peony handkerchief.

In the courtyard, you can hear the girl's laughter from the bedroom, "Miss, don't play, the birthday banquet is about to start, and you must not be a little rude as the patriarch's daughter." ”

On one side of the room, the moon-white gauze curtain can vaguely see the delicate carved bed inside.

When the curtain is lifted, the moonlit curtain is informed, and the corners of the curtain are embroidered with gorgeous peony flowers. Hook up the bed curtain, peony flowers bloom at both ends of the bed, it is very beautiful.

There is a dresser next to the bed, a bronze mirror stands proudly on the dresser, and a red lacquer jewelry box carved with peony flowers in front of the copper mirror is quietly placed there, as if waiting for the owner's patronage.

On the other side of the bed stands a mahogany hanger, on which a pink brocade coat is propped up, and a few peonies are embroidered on the skirt of the dress, which shows the owner's love for peonies.

On the other side of the room is a small tea table with a celadon tea set and two cushions on either side of the table. On one side of the tea table is a mahogany desk, on which is an unfinished peony painting. A beauty is placed on the back wall, and a guqin is placed on a small long table in front of the beauty. From the furnishings of the room, you can see the cultivation of the owner of the room.

At this time, a fifteen-year-old girl in the room was dressed as a girl of the same age, holding a brush, hiding and playing with a girl dressed as a girl of about the same age.

The girl is the only daughter of the patriarch of the Lan clan, Lan Lingxue.

Lan Lingxue was originally painting, and her personal girl Xiaoqiao came in and saw that Lan Lingxue was still painting, and the clothes and accessories on her body had not been changed, so she stepped forward and said, "Miss, the old lady's birthday banquet will start soon, why are you painting." I'll give you a change of clothes and makeup! ”

Lan Lingxue's painting hadn't finished yet, so she ignored Xiaoqiao and lowered her head to continue the painting in her hand.

Xiaoqiao saw that the young lady ignored her, so he simply stepped forward and took the inkstone on the desk and protected it in his arms, preventing Lan Lingxue from using it.

Lan Lingxue was holding a brush and was about to dip it in ink but couldn't find the inkstone. As soon as I looked up, I saw that Xiaoqiao was holding the inkstone, pouting as if he was angry.
