Chapter 8: The Birthday Feast
Seeing the wavering of some guests, especially some other juniors from Helan Mansion, Helan Yuan was very angry and argued with reason.
"Fifth brother, there is no need to say it again, those who are clear will clear themselves."
After speaking, Helan Xue looked at the old lady:
"You can't deceive a person's embroidery style, grandmother, let people go to the embroidery frame."
The old lady nodded and agreed with Helan Xue's actions. After a while, someone moved the embroidery frame in.
Helan Xue walked to the embroidery frame with light steps, pinched an embroidery needle in her left hand and right hand, and quickly embroidered a piece of bamboo.
There was only a pillar of incense before and after, and the people in the entire hall were stunned - Helan Xue's embroidery was not inferior to the embroidery girl in the palace.
"Sister Xue, I've wronged you. In this way, you can make a wish to your grandmother as compensation. โ
Helan Xue is not a pretentious person, and she does have a request for the old lady, so she took the initiative to ask: "Really? Is it okay for a granddaughter to be free to enter and leave the mansion? โ
The old lady was stunned, if other people got the promise, they would either ask for gold, silver and jewelry, or politely refuse the reward.
Her granddaughter is special, and what she wants is the qualification to enter and exit freely.
But she can be regarded as finding the right person, and she can meet this request: "Mama Cui, bring that thing up." โ
Mama Cui looked up in surprise, and saw that the old lady's expression didn't look like a joke, so she said solemnly: "No." โ
It didn't take long for her to respectfully fetch "that thing".
The old lady took out a silver waist card from the box, solemnly called He Lanxue, and tied the waist card to Helan Xue's belt with her own hands:
"Sister Xue, with this waist card, you can enter and leave Helan Mansion freely, but don't lose it."
What she didn't tell Helan Xue was that this waist tag was an identity tag specially made for her by Helan Xue's mother, which meant that all the properties under her mother's name were in charge of He Lanxue.
Even if she doesn't give it, not long after, at Helan Xue's ceremony, the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion will force her to give it.
Give it out early now, and there is no loss to her.
The main thing is that she can't use this waist card, it's really just a symbol, and it can only play a role in the hands of the designated person.
"Yes."
Seeing that the old lady looked so solemn, Helan Xue also realized that the things in her hand might not be so simple.
But whatever it is, don't expect her to return it when it's in her hands.
After this farce, the feast officially began.
After the two expensive male dolls in the house, He Lanyuan and He Lanshun, presented gifts, the old lady asked about their academic status.
Helan Yuan's grades have always been good, but Helan Shun is a little stubborn. But after all, it was not a serious occasion, even if she was a little dissatisfied, the old lady casually mentioned a few words and let them go back to their seats.
In the country of Eucalyptus, the defense of men and women is not serious.
Helan Ya was the first to stand up and show her talent, she was good at the piano, but she was not good at artistic conception, and her artistic conception did not match her skillful piano skills at all.
It must have been diligent practice, but I never realized the true meaning.
The artistic conception is already poor, and with Helan Xuejing's gorgeous embroidered screen Zhuyu in front, her playing is not very outstanding.
Fang gritted his teeth with hatred beside him, but he was helpless, so he had to glare at Lin Shuyao angrily. And Lin Shuyao didn't have Lin Shuying's worries, and she didn't care about Fang's angry gaze.
Then there is the peony painting of Helanqing, the daughter of Gao Yufang, the daughter of the merchant. The picture is pretty good, but it's a pity that there is no god.
The fourth sister Helan micro-wrote a good hand, her calligraphy attainments are very profound, a hairpin flower small Kai taken from the orchid, and similar to the plum, the wind and bones appeared. If it continues to develop, it will be self-contained.
After the banquet dispersed, Helan Xue returned to Yingxue Pavilion.
Although there is an old lady supporting her now, her situation is still very passive.
If you want to break away from Helan Mansion as soon as possible, you still have to seize the time to create forces.
It's time to check out those stores.
At the end of the next day,
"Miss, the fifth young master is here." Winter warmth into the house to report.
"Tell the fifth brother to wait in the front yard, I'll be there in a while."
Helan Xue changed into a white dress, took a feather hat and brought it, and then went to the front yard with Dong Nuan.
"Sister, are you going out?" Helan Yuan saw that Helan Xue was dressed differently than before, and took the lead in asking questions.
"Well, just hang out."
She looked at Helan Yuan:
"Brother Yuan. I know that you study hard, but you can't ignore the body, you must know that the body is the capital of everything. โ
Helan Yuan promised: "I know, sister, I won't let you worry." โ
"That's good, don't take your body seriously, no one is made of iron."
Helan Xue took out a secret book from the table drawer: "You have time to practice this martial arts secret book, but I begged the master for a long time before agreeing to give it to me." โ
Helan Xue's words indirectly acquiesced to Lin Shuyao's speculation and fabricated an unwarranted master.
Helan Yuan was not surprised and suspicious of his most beloved sister: "Okay, I will." Sister, don't worry! โ
The nine-year-old boy's promise is stronger than Jin Shi, and he will definitely practice martial arts to protect Helan Xue.
Helan Xue's heart warmed, in fact, there was a big loophole in her words, but Helan Yuan chose to believe her.
This feeling of being trusted is really good, and in a trance, she seemed to see her cousin in her previous life: "Brother Yuan, you have to work hard, I believe you can definitely become a person who is in charge of himself." โ
A Yuan,
How are you doing now?
Reincarnated?
Have you forgotten me?
How are you doing?
โฆโฆ
I miss you.
๏ผยท๏ผยท๏ผ
After sending Helan Yuan away, Helan Xue hung up her waist card and left Helan Mansion with Lin Shuyao and Dong Nuan.
"Miss, where are we going?" Lin Shuyao asked.
Under normal circumstances, she would not ask Helan Xue where she was going, because this was beyond the duty of a slave.
But Helan Xue had already circled the same place three or two times, which made her seriously doubt that her young lady was lost.
Helan Xue raised her index finger and put it to her lips:
"Shhhh
After seven turns and eight turns, it was confirmed that there was no tail, and then Helan Xue came to the courtyard:
"Shuying, let's go, I'll take you to have a good meal for the teacher."
Lin Shuying was silently writing the "Xuanxin Jue" taught to him by Helan Xue at this time, and he was also obedient, Helan Xue asked him not to practice first, and he had been silently memorizing. A day later, he was already able to comprehend the second layer of the secret book.
Now seeing Helan Xue walking into the study with a big grin, Lin Shuying was not surprised, but looked at the girl beside Helan Xue: "Sister." โ
Helan Xue took off her feather hat, pretended to open the folding fan gracefully, covered half of her face, and revealed her playful eyes:
"As soon as I saw your sister, I automatically ignored me, a cheap master? Or do your eyes have their own filtering function, and as soon as your sister appears, everyone else automatically disappears from your field of vision? โ
There's no way, who made her can't help but flirt when she sees a child who always has a face, and always wants to see the scene of honest people breaking their work.
I can't change this habit, but no one will cooperate with her cousin anymore.
Filtering features? Event horizon?
Although Lin Shuying didn't know what a filter function was or what a vision was, she also knew that Helan Xue didn't have any malice, so she didn't take it to heart.
He has always been tolerant of himself and his sister's benefactor: "Good master. โ
No matter what kind of person his master is, he just needs to know that his master has no bad intentions towards him and his sister, and that is enough.
That's enough for him to give all his trust and loyalty.
Lin Shuying hugged his fist at Helan Xue, which is a common etiquette on the rivers and lakes. However, Helan Xue pulled his hand:
"Yes, it seems that Dr. Luo really has some real talent, and it has only been a day, and the recuperation effect has come out."
After she finished speaking, she let go of Lin Shuying's wrist:
"Continue to follow the doctor's instructions, cooperate with the treatment, and adjust the body to facilitate the practice of martial arts, remember?"
"Remembered." Lin Shuying was touched before he could react, but Helan Xue let go, and he didn't have much to say, so he had to accept it calmly.
As everyone knows, he thought he was calm, but in fact, a crimson appeared on his face.
Helan Xue looked at it in surprise: The children in ancient times were too innocent, right? Just touched a wrist, can you blush like this? It seems that she will have to pay attention to one thing in the future.
Zuiyue Tower,
The taste attracts thousands of customers, and the fragrance dispels eternal sorrow.
He Lanxue looked at the door link, thinking about the news she had inquired all the way, and couldn't help but show a faint smile on her face:
"Let's go, Dong Nuan, Shu Yao, Shu Ying, let's go in."
According to folk rumors, no matter in terms of dishes, service, or cleaning, Zuiyue Lou is a well-deserved first-class restaurant.
Some large families and restaurants would rather pour leftover food into buckets than help those who are poor.
Only Zuiyuelou did the opposite, distributing the remaining wine and food to the beggars, and absolutely not leaving leftovers until the next day.
As a result, it has always had good reviews.
Some diners also prefer to come to Zuiyue Lou for dinner.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, an enthusiastic runner came over, with a smile on his face and a crackle in his mouth:
"Guest officer, please inside. Dining or reservations? How many people are there? Go to the private room on the second floor or just in the lobby? โ
And private rooms?
Also, how can such a large restaurant not have private rooms?
Helan Xue didn't hesitate for long:
"The hall, in the corner."
In fact, Helan Xue will have a special private room for her as long as she is a yin identity, but she didn't do this, she wanted to inspect the comprehensive level of the restaurant: "Remember to serve all the signature dishes of your restaurant." โ
While taking care of the three of Dongnuan, she tasted the dishes of the restaurant under her name, and commented from time to time.
was eating happily, Lin Shuying suddenly said, "Master, there is someone making trouble over there." โ
"That's the first lesson I'm going to teach you: when you're out and about, don't be nosy, and beware of getting into trouble. We eat our food. โ
Helan Xue said disapprerovantly, at this moment, she was staring at the spiced garlic crayfish with her eyes shining.
