Chapter 5 Rejoicing in the Past
There was a birdsong outside the window, Ah Miao opened her eyes and stretched, and then thought of something and buried her face in the pillow.
She dreamed of the star last night......
"Nasty!" Walking into the bathroom with a red face, you don't have to think about it to know what kind of dream it is.
Today is the fifth day she has come to the Lan family, and today is the weekend, not only Lan Hua's son will come back, I heard that those cousins are going to come as guests.
Obviously, they came for themselves.
"Aamy! Listen, no one can help you, the gods are not there, and neither is the poetry and poetry. Looking at herself in the mirror, Ah Miao clenched her fists, "This is your own fight, come on!" ”
After packing up, Ah Miao took a deep breath and went downstairs.
"Good morning, Miss!" It's all the same hello again.
Ah Miao nodded: "Hello everyone! ”
She didn't ignore these people and greeted everyone every day. No matter what others think, it's her own politeness and principle.
"Morning, Miss!" Obviously, some people can like this too.
Ah Miao smiled and nodded: "Fu Bo is early!" ”
She also knew that there were two housekeepers in this family, one was Fu Bo and the other was surnamed Li. And Fu Bo only listened to Lan Lixiao's words alone.
"There will be a lot of people tonight." As he was heading to the dining room, Fauber suddenly whispered.
Ah Miao smiled a little naughty: "I won't be eaten, right?" ”
"Huh! The eldest lady just needs to be as usual. Seeing that she was not afraid, Fu Bo lowered his voice and said, "If those juniors say anything ugly, you don't have to give face, just go back." ”
Such an obvious hint made Ah Miao very grateful, and she nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Fu Bo, I won't embarrass my grandfather!" ”
"What do you two say?" Lan Lixiao, who was already sitting at the table, asked curiously.
Ah Miao smiled and walked over and hugged the old man: "Fu Bokua I am very beautiful today!" ”
"Nonsense!" Lan Lixiao glared at Fu Bo, "When is my granddaughter not beautiful?" ”
Fu Bo smiled and agreed: "Yes, yes, the eldest lady is the most beautiful!" ”
When Lan Qin and his wife came, they saw a harmonious atmosphere in the restaurant. She pouted and walked in: "Dad! The opening has been replaced by a smiling face.
"Auntie, uncle!" Ah Miao also has a smiling face.
Lan Qin passed by her and touched her head, while Hu Hai smiled at her.
Ah Miao has read a lot of gossip magazines in Beijing in the past few days, and the comments about Hu Hai in them are all about saving the whole universe in his last life in order to marry the daughter of the Lan family.
There is always a shadow of contempt between the lines, and his work is rarely mentioned.
"My brother is really!" Lan Qin said while spreading peanut butter on the bread, "I know what today's party is for, and he went abroad for a meeting. ”
Lan Lixiao didn't react: "It's normal for the company to have something, and it's not an important party. The old man paused, his tone was a little cold, "Originally, it was the same to meet Ah Miao at a dinner party later, they had to meet ...... in advance."
His eyes fell on Miao, who gave him a shallow smile.
"Hmm!" Lan Lixiao nodded, "Just see it, my granddaughter is not unpopular." ”
Lan Qin laughed: "Look at what Dad, you said, Uncle is also curious, and I will be curious if I change it!" ”
"Humph!" Lan Lixiao didn't speak, and Fauber served him a bowl of porridge.
Ah Miao sat under the old man, silently eating her breakfast, seeing that she had almost eaten, Lan Lixiao glanced at Lan Qin. Lan Qin raised his eyebrows: "Dad, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
"You're not going out today, are you?"
Lan Qin smiled: "What if I say it?" ”
"Do you have a problem?" The old man's voice raised.
"Originally, there were, but now......" Lan Qin wiped his mouth, "What is more important than my niece!" ”
Ah Miao raised her head blankly, Lan Qin looked at her watch and said, "There will be a stylist coming over in the afternoon, this is not in a hurry." Now we have to talk. ”
"Teach slowly, don't rush." Lan Lixiao instructed, and patted Ah Miao's hand again, "Don't force it, we won't take our time." ”
Ah Miao followed Lan Qin to a small living room on the first floor, with a red carpet with a fireplace, and the decoration style was very lazy.
"Sit down!" As soon as Lan Qin entered, he leaned back on a soft collapse and raised his hand to point to the high-backed chair opposite.
The European-style red high-backed chair is inlaid with rhinestones, which looks like a luxurious and scarlet taste.
"Do you know what we're going to do?" Lan Qin touched his nails and asked.
Ah Miao shook her head: "I don't know." ”
"Although your mother raised you according to everyone's standards, it is far from enough." Lan Qin looked at her, "The real lady of the family has been passed down through three generations, and her temperament is not comparable to those ordinary daughters." ”
Ah Miao nodded this time: "Just like my aunt, she is the most temperamental woman I have ever seen." ”
She is not a compliment, and it is not that Miss Ji Xue Bailu and other daughters have never seen it, but they are like wildflowers on the side of the road compared to Lan Qin. Lan Qin is elegant and elegant, and there is an indifferent temperament that they can't learn.
"Good eye!" Lan Qin generously accepted her compliment, "But you don't have to be afraid, there are very few women like me now, and there are no more than five in the capital." ”
Ah Miao probably understood the purpose of her calling: "That...... What do I need to learn? ”
"Look for yourself, it's too late to cultivate in your bones, but the fur should at least be the same." Lan Qin didn't know where to conjure up, and threw a beautiful notebook over.
As soon as Ah Miao got it in his hand, he found that the cover of this notebook was not ordinary, and it turned out to be a fine Venus red sandalwood. As soon as you open it, the aroma of thick ink comes to your nose.
"Recognize?" Lan Qin asked her with her feet crossed.
Ah Miao smiled: "The book cover is full of red sandalwood, and the paper inside is handmade by the mysterious Dongba people in Yunnan Province. Ink is the best cloud head in the capital Yide Pavilion. ”
Lan Qin raised his eyebrows, and his beautiful facial features showed some surprise: "Did you learn it or read it from a book?" ”
"I've written big characters for a few days, it's nothing, it's mainly from books." Ah Miao is telling the truth, during the four years she was on the island, she read a lot of books, everything.
"Very good, take it back to your room and have a look!" Lan Qin stretched and sat up, "You can remember as much as you can." ”
Ah Miao held the book in her arms, and when she walked to the door, she turned around and bent over: "Thank you, aunt!" ”
"Thank me for what?" Lan Qin sneered, "It's your own ability, go ahead." ”
Is it disdainful to calculate her or doesn't want to? Ah Miao went all the way back to the room, and her thoughts were tumbling in her heart. Lan Qin's attitude towards her seemed to be a point, but what it actually was, Ah Miao didn't dare to say.
"I don't want to, I don't want to!" She shook her head, and now her task was to get the book done.
I had just changed into comfortable clothes when there was a knock at the door.
"Miss, I'll bring you a snack!"
Amira opened the door, and the aunt at the door was carrying a few plates of delicate desserts and a pot of fruit tea.
"Master, don't work too hard!" When she left, her aunt told her with a smile.
Obviously, this snack was also sent by Lan Lixiao.
"I see, excuse me!"
Miao closed the door, sat down on the small terrace and opened the book.
Looking at it, she suddenly felt that life was wonderful. Most of this is about jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, antiques. There are also all kinds of famous brands, red wines, and expensive and elegant gadgets.
And she herself specializes in antique calligraphy and painting, and the others have either read books in those years, or have been in contact with them after marrying Shenxing.
"If I hadn't been on the island for four years, I wouldn't have read those books." She herself suddenly laughed, if she hadn't met the Divine Star, those people would still find her......
"If that's the case, I'll have to memorize these things by rote right now."
Ah Miao remembered a passage she had read somewhere, saying that the joys and sorrows experienced by a person will be an indispensable experience during the journey. Everything condenses into a little bit of the past, and eventually all the ...... It's all still your own.
Study room on the first floor.
"Ah Miao hasn't come out yet?" Lan Lixiao looked out the window, it was getting dark.
Fu Bo sighed and said, "The eldest lady is really working hard and has been studying in the room. ”
"No, even lunch is delivered." Lan Lixiao turned the Buddha bead on his wrist, "It's really like her grandmother......"
Fu Bo silently retreated, knowing that the old man was going to miss the past again.
As the night deepened, the blue house suddenly became lively, and seven or eight cars came one after another, neatly parked in the yard.
"Fauber, open the meal!"
Lan Lixiao sat at the head of the restaurant, and with his order, a plate of dishes was served, and the long tables of more than a dozen people were full, and people were also full.
"Ah Miao, the three here are my cousins, you can call grandpa according to the ranking."
"To your right are my two cousins. The same, call grandma. ”
Lan Lixiao pointed to the others at the table: "As for the juniors, you can introduce yourself!" ”
"Hello grandparents!" Miao bowed.
The old man sitting in the first place was black and thin, and his small eyes looked at her critically.
"Second brother, it does look alike, but are you really sure?" As soon as he opened his mouth, it was embarrassing.
Lan Qin hooked the corners of his mouth, waiting to watch a good show.
"I have asked you to come today, not to judge, but to recognize people." Lan Lixiao glanced at him, "This is my granddaughter, the eldest lady of the Lan family!" ”
The black and thin old man was unwilling and wanted to say something, but the woman next to him touched him. Then he changed the topic with a smile: "Ah Miao, right!" It's so beautiful, I'm your third grandmother. ”
"Hello!" Ah Miao bowed her head slightly.
This third grandmother is still wearing a cheongsam with big curly hair at her age. It seems that he is dressed very exquisitely, but the things he wears on his body can be seen at a glance that there are real and fake.
"Yes! Such a watery person, fortunately, he got it back, otherwise he wouldn't know how much suffering he would have to endure when he was put outside! Another silver-haired old lady took the conversation and looked at Ah Miao's eyes very lovingly.
"This is my second cousin." Lan Lixiao rarely opened his mouth to introduce.
Ah Miao knew that this old lady was what he liked, so he smiled very sweetly: "Second grandma is good!" ”
"Good, good!" The old lady smiled from ear to ear, "My family lacks a granddaughter, you are so blessed with the second child!" ”
Lan Lixiao laughed, but there was a slightly chubby old man next to the old lady with a straight face, and he glared at the old lady.
