Song Zhi knew that Song Yan's heart had always been high, so this appearance in front of people would definitely be carefully prepared.

"My sister is dressed very beautifully today." Song Zhi looked Song Yan up and down, only to see that she was rarely wearing a goose-yellow narrow-sleeved silk shirt, and she was wearing a moon-white long skirt embroidered with silver thread and entwined branches and peonies, and a bright yellow gem was decorated on the waist of the skirt that was half a palm wide.

She carefully smeared fat powder on her face, and smeared gardenia oil on her hair to try to make her hair look smoother, but when compared to the green silk of Lin and Song Zhi, her hair was simply a straw. A hairpin with gold flowers was also inserted diagonally on the straw pile, and a string of ingenious spring flower earrings swayed beside her face.

It's a pity that she has an ordinary appearance, and with a beautiful and charming woman like Lin by her side, she is becoming more and more dry.

It's no wonder that Lin's family, she just put on a little fat powder, and she didn't even put on rouge, and her black hair is really naturally beautiful, so is it difficult to ask her to blacken her face and go back to her parents' house?

Speaking of which, Song Yao's appearance is slightly better than Song Yan, although her complexion is a little yellower, but she has a small mouth and a small nose, and her body is slender, and she is a little delicate and weak. It's a pity that she doesn't seem to know her strengths very much, and she wears some old-fashioned clothes. But she didn't come today, although the Lin family is not a vicious stepmother, but Song Yao's origin still makes her a little disliked, and she feels a little guilty about Song Yan, as for Song Yao, when the time comes, choose a similar family to marry, why bother with all that effort.

……

"Auntie, sister!"

As soon as Song Zhi got out of the sedan chair, he saw Lin Tianlang at the door, he was slender and straight, with handsome facial features, and he had a sense of a high-spirited youth.

"Why is Lang'er standing under the sun and not afraid of the sun?" The Lin family hadn't seen Lin Tianlang for a long time, and he was still a little restrained, but his nephew was so friendly that he let go of it at once.

"I'm still worried why you haven't come yet, and you're waiting inside, so you just came out." After Lin Tianlang finished speaking, he turned to Song Zhi again, revealing his two small tiger teeth: "On this birthday, there is a shortbread made by my mother herself, I left a few pieces first, let's try it?" ”

There was a bit of a pretentious meaning on his face, Xiao Chen's craftsmanship Song Zhi had heard of, but as Lin Qingyan's wife, she rarely cooked in person, let alone the laborious eating of shortbread.

"Hmm!" Song Zhi nodded hurriedly, and the two trotted away hand in hand.

"Huh!" Lin couldn't stop shouting at the two of them in place, and said apologetically to Song Yan: "It's really unruly, Lang'er is an only son, and your uncle is probably used to it." ”

"It's okay, boys are always playful." Song Yan stretched out her hand to cut the earrings that were entangled with her hair for Lin.

"It's okay if the girl isn't there, let's go in first." The meaning of Lin's words was originally to say that the person she wanted to focus on introducing today was Song Yan, and it was inevitable that she couldn't take care of Song Zhi, and when it fell into Song Yan's ears, what she heard was another meaning.

That is, Song Zhi is here, and Song Yan has become a foil.

"Sister-in-law." Lin walked into the house and saw Xiao Chen wearing a horse-faced skirt with crimson gold trim embroidered with pink peony flowers, and was surrounded by everyone to congratulate.

"Yo, my little sister is back." Xiao Chen's temperament is smooth, and he has always done what Lin Qingyan tells him to do. Lin Qingyan revealed a little bit of the meaning of rebuilding the old friendship with his sister, and Xiao Chen's became enthusiastic.

"I'm late, don't blame my sister-in-law." Lin waved his hand, and Qin Xiang came up with a congratulatory gift. "Sister-in-law, look at it, do you still like it?"

"Little sister is too polite, just go back to her house for a light meal, why bring courtesy?" Qin Xiang lifted the lid to let Xiao Chen take a look, only to see a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets lying on the red silk, the color was warm and moist, without the slightest flaw.

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I like it, my little sister is bothered." That was the most sincere thing she had ever said today.

"It's good if my sister-in-law likes it, it seems that the girl with a good eye is still childish, but she picked this." Lin originally wanted to send the jade earrings, but Song Zhi said that Xiao Chen's complexion was yellowish, and the jade was even more dull, so he was afraid that it was not beautiful, so he picked this pair of bracelets.

"Childish," Xiao Chen looked behind Lin, "what about her?" ”

Lin leaned over and whispered a few words to her, and Xiao Chen covered his mouth with a smile, "This kid." ”

A few words of gossip wasted a short while, and the Lin family hurriedly said to Song Yan: "You have seen this aunt, say hello quickly." ”

Xiao Chen noticed Song Yan at this time, and she is not to blame, there are many female dependents today, all of whom have been dressed up with enough energy, Song Yan is standing here, like a soybean falling into a pile of miscellaneous rice, although it is not completely submerged, but it is difficult to find her for a while.

"This is Miss Yan and." One is a child, the other is a girl, and there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy.

"Hello aunt." Song Yanying bowed, her face was not half unhappy, but took out a small brocade box, "Yan'er congratulates my aunt on her birthday, I wish my aunt a long life and good health." ”

Lin was slightly surprised, Song Zhi said that he had made a purse and was going to give it to Xiao Chen, but Song Yan didn't mention it, it turned out that he had also prepared.

"A little gadget, let's give my aunt a reward." Song Yan gave her a pink tourmaline ring, which is not as expensive as a mutton fat jade bracelet, but it is rare.

This gift also entered Xiao Chen's eyes.

"Your mother and daughter are a family but give two gifts, such a cost, you have to eat enough wine later, otherwise it will be a big loss?" Xiao Qian came over and said with a smile.

She was already a happy person, and when she smiled like this, everyone laughed along with her.

"Naturally, I want to eat more." Xiao Chen also said on the side.

The Lin family led Song Yan to introduce the past one by one, and as a stepmother, she can really be said to have done a good job.

"I'm almost seated, why haven't you come back?" As soon as Lin's words fell, Lin Tianlang and Song Zhi walked in.

Both of them were born good-looking, and as soon as they entered the door, they instantly attracted everyone's attention like a pair of golden boys and girls.

Seeing Song Zhi walking towards the Lin family, and coquettish in front of Xiao Chen, Xiao Qian and Da Qian whispered: "It turns out that this is my own child, I'll just say, Lin's appearance is so good, how can my daughter be so mediocre." ”

The conversation between the two of them was not heard by others, but when Song Yan caught a glimpse, she concluded that they were talking about herself. She likes to guess the minds of others the most, and this time she actually guessed correctly.

After the big and small Qian whispered, the little Qian raised his head and happened to meet Song Yan's gaze, and moved away a little weakly, which made Song Yan even more determined.

"Does my aunt like it?" Song Zhixiu's purse has a pig, a sheep and a snake, which are the zodiac signs of her, Lin Qingyan and Lin Tianlang, respectively.

"Like, like!" Xiao Chen is not a person who likes and dislikes obviously, but this birthday gift, everyone can see that she really likes it.

Song Zhi's embroidery was practiced after marrying Rui Xi, and when she embroidered this purse, she hid a part of it, but these three animals still made her embroider vivid.

"I'll see." Mrs. Jiang of the Marquis of Jinghai Mansion took it over and praised it, "It's much better than my unsuccessful daughter." ”

"Your daughter is obedient and intelligent, but the needle and thread are a little weaker, so what does it matter." Mrs. Taiwei Xu said with a smile.

Song Zhi's eyes turned on her face, and she said, "By the way, madam, why didn't Sister Jiang come today." ”

"Recently, the summer heat has been hot, and that girl has been so miserable all day long that she can't even eat, so I didn't let her come." Ying Shi held Song Zhi's little hand and rubbed it, "Why don't you come to my house to accompany your sister Wan'er another day?" ”

"Okay." Song Zhi responded happily.

The banquet was opened, and the maids came over with a tray of red lacquer and golden begonia flowers, scorched venison, rose cabbage heart, lily lotus seed blood glutinous rice porridge, stir-fried silver needle buds, rock sugar bear's paws......

The fried silver needle sprouts looked mediocre, but they actually hollowed out the middle of the bean sprouts and poured them into the meat puree. Song Zhi ate a few chopsticks and felt that it was very ordinary, and it was not as delicious as venison.

Xiao Chen gave her a bowl of blood glutinous rice porridge, and Song Zhi ate it in small bites, but her ears were alert.

Except for the ignorant children who are not very old, who really come here to eat?

The Xu family and the Lin family have already talked together, Song Jian will come back soon, and his wedding date with Zhang Xinlan has been set for October.

It's a good family. Song Zhi thought to himself, "Wouldn't it be a pity to give Song Blade?" ”

In her previous life, she heard that Zhang Xinlan only gave birth to a daughter and had no children, but Song Blade's side room Lan gave birth and gave birth to two boys and two girls.

"Is Big Brother coming back?" Song Zhi turned his head and asked Lin, but Xu replied with a smile: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm afraid I miss your brother too, right?" ”

"Well," Song Zhi nodded and laughed again, "Big sister wants to do more!" Maybe the big brother will come back, and he will hug and cry again. ”

"Little sister! Why do you have to talk about things when you are seven or eight years old? Song Yan was in a hurry to defend for a while, and her tone was heavier.

Song Zhi was stunned, holding the spoon stiffly, revealing a dazed and overwhelmed expression.

"Yan'er, don't be angry, my sister is just joking, everyone is awake." Lin said that although she didn't show it on her face, she was a little unhappy in her heart.

Mo said that the Lin family, that is, Xiao Chen's family was also a little distressed when he saw Song Zhi's expression, so he rubbed her shoulder and turned away from the conversation. "Lang'er, can I take you to eat shortbread?"

Xiao Chen is not good at words, and the topic is quite clumsy, but it seems to be very effective for Song Zhi, and she jumps up again, like a little yellow warbler without sorrow: "Eat!" Auntie, it's really delicious, as soon as you bite into the shortbread, the layers are crispy, with the fragrance of green onions, lard, wheat, sesame, I still seem to smell it! ”

"I ate alone, and I talked about it vividly to make everyone hungry. Mrs. Lin, your little daughter's eloquence is good. Da Qian said.

"She's only a little clever when it comes to eating." Lin teased his daughter.

There was laughter on the table for a while, and only Song Yan's hand hidden under the tablecloth was tightly clenched into a fist.

Lin took a piece of venison and fed it to Song Zhi, "You can't eat it anymore, the venison is a big supplement, you can't stand it." Song Zhi chewed the venison and was in a good mood.

If it was a matter of the side, Song Yan would not be so out of shape. But when Song Zhi was in his previous life, he had already faintly noticed that Song Jian's feelings for Song Yan seemed to be more than just brother and sister, although the two probably didn't have any off-the-beaten-path behavior, but Song Yan had a ghost in her heart, so she was naturally in chaos.
