Chapter 50: The Outer Family
Hui Lan nested in her cousin's house for lunch and took a nap, and the two of them lay on the same bed. When I woke up, I didn't rush to get up, so I whispered. Both of them are fine, and the sky is gloomy, of course, it is most comfortable to lie down and talk.
"Cousin, is there any arrangement for the Shangsi Festival? I guess I'm going to Changping's hot spring Zhuangzi here, go green, release paper kites, hunt, barbecue, soak in hot springs, and play polo. The more Hui Lan spoke, the more excited she became. Whoever has been locked up for so long, no matter how social fear is, they also want to let it go.
"It's so rich, it's rare for my cousin to be proficient in everything, and when the time comes, I want to have a good time, and I have leftover prey for my cousin to taste." Cousin Wang couldn't help but laugh and teased.
Huilan's cheek, where is she afraid of this little drizzle, "No problem, even if I can't shoot a prey, I will rob my cousin of what others have hit." ”
Cousin Wang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Huilan knew that she was thin-skinned, and the sisters were giggling and laughing.
"Cousin, can Ming'er take me out?" Huilan looked at Cousin Wang with bright eyes, slowly looking forward to it. "Wen Qing wrote me a post and gave me four pairs of very delicate crystal hairpins. She's also been locked up for so long, and it's supposed to be suffocating. I want to go early tomorrow morning to buy the dim sum from the champion building she mentioned and give her a return gift. ”
"Don't you want to eat yourself?" Cousin Wang is well aware of her cousin's foodie attributes.
"Yes, I want to eat too. Good cousin, okay, take me out for a walk. I asked Steward Li to send someone to guard and buy it, and we only need to take it. Okay...... "Huilan has been a child for a few years, and she is already familiar with it, and there is no pressure to be coquettish.
"Okay, don't shake me. Give your grandfather a report in the evening, if you don't go out, your grandfather won't disagree. Cousin Wang was considerate and cousin hadn't gone out for a long time, so she readily agreed.
"yes, thank you, cousin." Hui Lan hugged her cousin excitedly.
Waiting for Huilan to calm down, Cousin Wang looked at her with interest, "Let's talk about it, the post is written in advance, and the dim sum can be sent by people as soon as they are taken." Where to go next, don't you go out and grab a snack! ”
Hui Lan smiled embarrassedly, "That, I used to be young, and I couldn't go out for a few years in a row." I just wanted to walk around the city and look at the shops and houses at home. It's hard not that I arrived at my door, but I didn't even know the door. ”
Cousin Wang expected that she was a big ghost, and there must be something wrong when she wanted to go out. At the moment, I was said to be sour, my cousin is a beautiful and immature girl, if she doesn't have no parents and no brother to support her, where do you need her to worry about the family business. "Okay, go all the way, my cousin will accompany you, and I will recognize the door, maybe I can get a discount in the future."
"Haha, cousin, don't worry, if I can do business on my own, I'm sure I'll give you the biggest discount." Huilan has the intention to let the people in the family learn to do business, and what she said is categorical.
Cousin Wang only thought that she said that the child would, so she only laughed and did not speak, and the two talked some gossip again.
It is said that Huilan has dealt with these cousins and cousins in the past few years, and at most it is Liu Wenqing's cousin who is cornering. In fact, only Cousin Wang is really related, but the two don't get along much.
Huilan is not far or near by blood, she likes the eldest cousin of the Gu family and cousin Wang very much. But after all, one is a noble girl, and the other is a civil official; One is noble and elegant, and the other is beautiful and graceful; One is a god of learning that should be looked up to, and the other is a slightly better sister......
Let's put it this way, Cousin Gu is like an elegant and profound teacher, no matter how gentle and considerate she is, she can't help but be timid; Cousin Wang is a gentle sister next door, and she gets along without pressure. To put it bluntly, it's a matter of moderation, but it's right that both of them like Huilan very much.
I like Cousin Gu because of the long time together, the care and help for her, as well as her excellence and her character. I like Cousin Wang because of her character, and it is like knowing it at first sight.
When she was picked up for the first time, Huilan was a little at a loss. In the end, he was appeased by his loving maternal grandfather, generous cousin, and considerate cousin. My cousin knew that she liked to paint, so she suggested that she draw and see it, saying that she liked it too. Hui Lan couldn't refuse, and patiently drew the two puppies in her yard casually.
My cousin smiled when she saw it, and commented that her pen was slightly astringent at first, and then gradually improved; Although the penmanship is immature, there is no lack of aura. He also persuaded her that since her mind is still free, paintings are just games, and it is good to be casual.
Hui Lan sneered, her cousin really knows how to draw. It can be seen that her drawing skills are average, and she doesn't like to be forced to draw proposition compositions. also persuaded her not to force herself, just be happy casually.
The next two get along, but there are many similarities. They all like to read quietly in a nest, and occasionally recommend good books to each other. When the interest comes, write and draw casually. Just for the sake of liking, not forcibiting. Such a wonderful person, I can't help but dislike Huilan.
Thinking about it this way, my cousin's casual thoughtfulness is probably genetic, because Huilan's maternal grandfather was also such a person.
A serious elder, a grandfather, and a civil official. What can I do when I meet my granddaughter for the first time? Of course, Hui Lan was assigned a proposition essay for writing by her maternal grandfather.
Hui Lan concentrates her spirit and strives to do her best, but she can only write crooked words that are not so crooked. When she handed it in, Hui Lan was all heartfelt. I'm afraid of being scolded by the eyebrows and scolding that rotten wood can't be carved, and then it's a meal of fried meat on a bamboo board.
Huilan is not afraid of being scolded, she is afraid of bringing back a braised pig's trotters, and she is afraid of being angry with the old man, which is a sin. She handed over her work, and without even daring to sit down, she just stood there waiting for the verdict to be announced.
The old man took her masterpiece, touched his beard and looked at it for a long time, his face was calm, and he looked carefully. In Huilan's heart, it is estimated that a century has passed, and her cold sweat is about to come down. I feel that I am alive and free from a lamb to be slaughtered, and the taste of waiting for death is too sour.
Finally, the old man finished reading it and put the paper on the case in front of him. A pair of somewhat cloudy eyes looked straight at Hui Lan, who almost knelt down with weak legs. Finally, it was still not so dish, and it didn't fall down.
She forced a smile, and her cautious appearance made the old man laugh.
didn't scold him, but praised her for knowing that the handwriting was not good, and it was good to be apprehensive. People are not afraid of what they do badly, but they are afraid of being bad and shameless. This boast, the praise of Huilan is stunned, a few meanings, old man, aren't you sarcastic!
The old man asked her to sit back, and told her a few stories about how to deal with people, and the words were very funny. Gradually, Huilan accepted her cranky thoughts and was attracted to the story. In the end, the old man persuaded her that even if she was impatient to practice calligraphy, she had to put a little effort into it. You don't have to write well, at least you have to be straight-headed.
The old man said something serious, Huilan was funny in her heart, she understood, she didn't ask how good the writing was, at least it couldn't be ugly. Since then, Hui Lan has practiced a lot of calligraphy, which makes the gentleman in the school amazed. Huilan also figured out the character of her grandfather, and gradually fell in love with this funny, easy-going, loving and wise old man.
The two cousins don't get along much, but they also make people feel comfortable. Otherwise, Hui Lan would probably try her best to avoid the opportunity to come to her grandfather's house every two months and two days to let off steam. This person, the most important thing is to get along comfortably, otherwise the more you see, the more uncomfortable it will be.
