Chapter 09: First Acquaintance
The old lady was also looking forward to it, looking at her with a smile and asking, "What is this?" ”
"You open it and take a look, the gift has to be opened by yourself to have a surprise, I like to open the gift the most."
Zilan pretended to be a child, and said some fairy tales to please the old lady, after all, it would be a lot of days on the boat.
The old lady opened the box with a smile, and Lin Xi also poked her head to look here, and she was curious.
Inside the box is a box of incense powder, the taste is light and not strong, but it is very delicate.
Yang also saw it, got up and asked, "Didn't I do it?" Who did this for you? ”
"I made it myself, I asked Sister Hongxia to help me pick the flowers and twist them, and help me put them on the fire to steam, this can be lit and smoked in the house."
Zilan held her head high, not to mention how proud she was, this is very simple, it is distilled after the combination of several flowers, and it is not difficult.
"Did you think of it yourself?"
Yang was visibly surprised.
"Yes, I see you make potpourri, but I can't get that many flowers, so I make them from the flowers in the yard. It smells good, I think it smells good. ”
Zilan approached the box and sniffed it.
Lin Xi also pinched a little suspiciously and sniffed it, glanced at the old lady, nodded slightly, and said that it was very good.
"Little girl, you are very talented, thank you for the gift, I like it very much, give me some of it, I will smell it."
The old lady was also quite happy, the child was very sincere, and it was much happier to get along, and the old lady did not defend her.
There was a girl in the house who took the incense and put it in the incense burner and lit it a little, and soon there was a faint fragrance, the taste was light but very fresh and pleasant.
"Well, pretty good, how would you do that?"
"I made it according to my mother's incense recipe, but there were not many flowers, and my mother asked me to memorize the incense recipe, this is the fragrance recipe of potpourri."
Zilan tilted her head, meaning that you are so stupid.
The fragrance spectrum of potpourri is not fixed, depending on the individual's perception, each floral spice combination has a different effect and fragrance.
"I said what she was doing in the past two days, you are really ......"
Yang couldn't laugh or cry.
"This kid is really sensitive."
The old lady smiled happily, and was very satisfied with this gift, what kind of valuable thing has she never seen in such an identity, the key is that the child's heart is hot and sincere.
"What about mine? Stinky girl, don't you have me, believe it or not, I'll still pull your braids. ”
"Don't you hate me, you don't like me, why should I give you a gift, and the truth of a hot face and a cold ass."
Zilan tilted her head, and the words were also a set.
The old lady smiled and leaned back, and pointed her hand at her grandson's head, "It's time for you to bully people, there is no gift, I have it." ”
Lin Xi couldn't get a gift, so he sat there angrily and slammed the pillow, his little face was angry, his big eyes were watery, and he looked cute and pitiful.
Yang touched his daughter's head and smiled, "Zilan, why are you so stingy, my brother is joking with you, go and take out the gift." ”
"Well, who makes people have to bow their heads under the eaves."
"Hahahaha! That's a good point. ”
Zilan made the old lady laugh, and tears of laughter came out.
Yang patted her daughter on the back angrily, but she couldn't cry or laugh, why did her daughter become more and more sharp-toothed.
Zilan took a purse and threw it to him, "Give it to you, the dried flowers I dried have the effect of preventing insects and awakening the brain, and there is a balm in it, which can stop itching if you rub it, mosquito bites are very effective, I asked the girl to help me do it." ”
This has to be told the truth, she can't do it independently at such a young age, and lying will only make people laugh at her for her Song family's poor tutoring.
Lin Xi got something and hurriedly opened the purse and looked at it, sniffed the purse and smelled very good, took out a very small box inside, opened it and saw that it was a milky white paste, the taste was fresh and elegant, and the texture was soft and refreshing.
"Xiao Lan'er's skills are really good."
The old lady was also amazed.
"Hey, don't praise her, it's all made by my big girl Hongxia, my girl learned a lot of perfume skills from me, where is what her little girl will do."
Yang shook his head.
"That's also that the child has mastered the time, and he is still talented, and it is a good seedling to cultivate it well."
The old lady likes her a lot, and the goblin is clever and sensible.
"Thank you, stinky girl."
"You are not allowed to call me a stinky girl, I have a name, my name is Song Zilan, my brother's name is Song Ziyan, oh, do I remember your name is Lin Xi."
Zilan sat with him and talked to him.
"Well, you can call me Brother Xi."
Lin Xi happily replaced the purse and replaced it with the purse given by Zilan.
With Zilan and Ziyan gagging, the atmosphere became relaxed, the old lady asked some about Song Zhengtian, Zilan and Ziyan didn't intervene, they had a good time with Lin Xi, and the three children talked chattering.
Lin Xi asked Ziyan a few questions about learning, but he didn't expect Ziyan to answer very well, Lin Xi was very friendly and respectful to him, and they chatted very happily.
After talking with them, Yang took them out and went to their cabin, and the old lady was tired.
Lin Xi sneaked out, "Zilan Ziyan, can you play with me?" ”
"What are you going to play? My brother still has homework to do, my father left us homework, and if we can't finish it, we will be punished when we return to the capital, didn't your father leave you homework? ”
Zilan asked.
Lin Xi frowned, "I stayed, but I didn't want to write." ”
"If you finish writing early, you can play, if you can't finish writing, you'll be punished, it's not cost-effective, and your grandmother won't help you if you can't do your homework."
Zilan persuaded him.
"Then let's write together, you can go play after writing, and I'll show you my baby."
Lin Xi thought about it for a while, and it seemed like this was the case, so he agreed to do his homework together.
"Okay, let's go."
Zilan stepped forward and took the other hands and walked back together.
Yang settled down for them to sit there and write, "You guys write well here, don't run around, my mother goes to pack up your things." ”
"I know Mother, I'll watch them."
Zilan took the initiative to ask Ying to be the little supervisor.
"Cut, who is watching with you."
Lin Xi glanced at her, his face full of disgust.
"The soup made by my mother is very delicious, if you don't behave, I won't give it to you."
"Alright then, stingy."
Lin Xi didn't have so many scheming, and his greedy mind took the lead.
"Write quickly."
Zilan saw that the two little children had begun to write seriously, and she also laid out the paper and began to practice big characters.
With the serious comparison between Ziyan and Zilan, no one was playing with Lin Xi, he was a little unable to sit still at first, but then he slowly began to focus.
After writing for an hour, Lin Xi and Ziyan's homework were finished, and the two of them compared each other and laughed with each other.
Zilan also practiced several big characters and nodded with satisfaction.
Yang saw that the time was almost up, and then came in with the soup.
"The girls have stewed sweet soup, you can taste it."
