Zilan got a new toy, and asked the maid to hang it on the corridor outside the door, took a small stick, went to tease the birds, fed millet and water, and listened to the crisp calls of the birds, and the mood was quite happy.

Shuhui and Ma also came back from outside, "Sister Hui, my father bought us birds, you see there are two, which one do you like?" ”

Shuhui happily let go of Ma's hand and rushed over, looked up for a long time, and still chose the red-feathered bird.

"I want this red one, Peony, you take good care of me, but I am not allowed to die. This was given to me by my uncle. ”

Shuhui specially told the maid.

"Yes, don't worry, eldest lady, I will take care of the two of you."

The peony is crisp and raw.

"Thank you, Sister Peony, I went to the street with my father, I bought some small things and some food, I asked Sister Hongxia to take it down and divide it, and you also bought some fragrant pancreas, if you don't dislike it, go and choose a few."

Zilan deliberately asked Mu Xiang to follow her to choose some more gadgets that girls like, and it didn't cost a few dollars to please these girls, so that she could talk and do things more smoothly in the Hou Mansion in the future.

"Thank you Miss Cousin for the reward, we have been stained every time."

Peony saluted her.

Peony is the old lady's maid, second-class, and now it has been given to Shuhui, which is also the meaning of the old lady's love for her granddaughter, after all, Shuhui is a granddaughter, but she can't take up the eldest daughter, because she is the daughter of the second uncle, not born to the eldest uncle, so strictly speaking, she can't take up the eldest daughter.

But in fact, there are not so many accounts, only when the palace draft is strictly distinguished, and it is not hindered to get married in private, as long as it is a concubine, the concubines are very expensive.

"My sister doesn't think the things I picked are crude."

Zilan didn't care, she just gave some gifts to please her popularity.

"Sister, these two birds are so good-looking, they are so good-looking, mother, look at the birds that my uncle bought for me."

Shuhui pointed to the birdcage and was very happy to show off to her mother Ma.

Ma smiled lovingly at her, "As soon as your uncle came back, he brought you gifts and bought birds, and you have to take good care of your sister." ”

"Got it."

Shuhui shook her head happily and shook her tail, pulling Zilan and asking constantly.

This bird cage is also specially chosen, delicate and beautiful, which is pleasing to children.

The two of them played for a while and returned to the house, Mu Xiang took a tray and put two small plates on it, "Miss, eat some snacks, aren't the snacks you bought going to be eaten with the eldest lady." ”

"Okay, Sister Hui, I bought a few delicious things, you can try them too."

Ma Shi turned his head and glanced at it, "You two eat one less piece of glutinous rice cake, and you won't be able to eat for a while." ”

"Got it."

The two girls sat in a row, eating snacks and snacks with you and me, giggling and laughing very happily.

Most of the time, Zilan takes care of Shuhui, after all, Zilan is more mature in her heart, she is willing to play with Shuhui, as if she has returned to her childhood, let go of all pressure, don't have to think about any problems, and be a child, even if it's fake, she is happy.

Seeing that the two children were playing well, Ma Shi also smiled with the old lady: "Lan'er, this child is really obedient and sensible, likable, obviously she is a younger sister, Hui'er is older, but she takes care of Hui'er like a sister, and she can't forget to bring a copy to Hui'er." ”

"Yes, why else is your sister always worried that she will be hurt if she is very wise, this child is too smart."

The old lady also smiled, pinched two walnuts in her hand, it was Zilan who went to the antique shop on the street to pick a few, and brought two to her grandfather by the way.

"Indeed, she is not as good as Hui'er Han to eat and sleep soundly, she doesn't want to do things, and her mind hurts her body too much."

Ma also understands the sister-in-law's worries, if such a good girl is not good, she will die of sadness.

"Your father looked at it and said that it was not a big problem, this child is stable and has an atmospheric personality, not the cautious girl, he can't say that."

The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled.

"That's great, to be honest, I also like Lan'er's child, Hui'er sometimes doesn't understand the master's lectures, but Lan'er patiently explains it again in private, and Hui'er says that Lan'er is clearer than the master."

"Lan'er learns quickly, and Zhengtian raised her as a boy. The requirements are also stricter, and if you take the right path, you are not afraid that your child will be crooked in the future. ”

The old lady agrees with Zhengtian's attitude and parenting style.

"My brother-in-law will teach the children."

"I can also see that a few children let him stare at it, but it is much better than the two of them, and he will beat him at every turn, so how can it be done."

The old lady disliked that the two sons taught the children too roughly, far less good than the good ones that Zhengtian had induced, and the rewards and punishments were clear.

Ma covered her mouth and smiled, she didn't dare to comment, otherwise the masters would reprimand her again when they found out, saying that her mother was a failure.

The family came back for dinner, and the three gentlemen drank two glasses of wine, which was the Huiquan wine brought back by the Yang family, and the three of them chatted happily.

The women are also talking about the shop, and the preparations are almost complete, just waiting for the decoration to be ready to open.

Yang also has to make some more balms and toilet water, which are easy to sell, as well as common items such as hair oil.

"Mother, you can make something that is not lead powder, and you can also make a good fortune."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, I'll go back and think about it."

Yang thought for a moment and nodded.

"However, pollen is not as durable as lead powder, and it is true that it is easy to wear makeup."

Sister-in-law Xu also nodded.

"As long as the pollen is done well, this problem is not big, can you touch up the makeup, let's make the box smaller, and then make cotton.

Do you remember, when we docked at the port when we came back, there were foreigners, and I saw a woman with yellow hair, who took a box and slapped something in her face. ”

Zilan taught them a few times, and she said that she was talking about modern powder, which can actually be made.

It's nothing more than a matter of having one more piece of puff, which can be replaced with silk cotton and cotton.

"Oh, I've seen it too, so you remember."

Yang suddenly remembered that when they came back, they encountered a ship from a small overseas country, and the woman there was tall and big, and she took this thing in her hand and slapped it on her face, and it was in vain after the shooting.

"And what works so well?"

Ma Shi also asked suspiciously.

"I know, I know, I'll draw it for you."

Zilan put down her chopsticks, got off the ground and ran to Nuan Ge to get her drawing board, and Mu Xiang hurriedly went to grind it for her.

After a while, Zilan finished drawing and handed it to her sister-in-law.

Xu took it and looked at it, "Oops! It's pretty delicate, but what's this blank? ”

She pointed to the circular space on the box.

"Mirror, there is a mirror to look at the face, that one is a face, that foreigner just sticks it in the box like this, and it pounces on the face, but it's funny."

Zilan didn't dare to say it too clearly, but they did see it at the foreigners at that time, otherwise they wouldn't dare to say it, but it was true that the things were very crude.

"Oh, it's so much more convenient to say that, this picture is clear, I understand it."

Xu handed it over to Ma for inspection.
