Yan Cigui.

Lunar New Year's eve.

All over the capital, there are lights and festoons.

In Chengyibo's mansion, the lights are brightly lit.

Lin Yunfang sat beside Xiao Duan, holding her old man's hand, and counted with her crisply: "I have read the brochure, the kitchen has prepared salted duck, eight-treasure tofu, honey sauce, steamed buns with crab powder, and meatball soup. There are many more, of course the least is your favorite Liuhe beef breast."

Mrs. Chen was busy talking and explaining to the nuns, and couldn't help laughing at the sound.

Turning her head, she pointed at Lin Yunfang and said, "One year later, one year older, I will be a big girl, and she will memorize menus like a baby."

Lin Yunfang made funny faces with her, and went to tease Xiao Duan: "Old and young, who doesn't care about good food?"

Xiao Duan laughed loudly.

Lin Yunyan sat on the other side, listening to Lin Yunjing arranging various dowry embroidery patterns for her, listening to the movement there, she couldn't help laughing.

Lin Yunjing's ankle was no longer as swollen as it used to be, but her family didn't let her fall to the ground. She used a small bamboo sedan chair to go in and out, and she had to be raised for hundreds of days.

She also smiled, and while smiling, she said: "I'm telling you something serious, don't get distracted. I've drawn the pattern of the hijab for you, and you can embroider it accordingly. Tell me what you think."

Lin Yunyan looked at the red silk handkerchief in her hand, and praised: "Eldest sister is skillful and lifelike."

Lin Yunjing's own hand-drawn pattern for her little girlishness is indeed a bit violent.

Of course, these are all daily pastimes for them, and they pay attention to a hobby. How can they be used to sew and mend on weekdays?

Talented people like Lin Yunjing, she enjoys it herself, so she naturally studies more.

Lin Yunyan wasn't thinking about it, she could only say that it was enough.

It was something to be used in the wedding proposal, and she had to embroider it with a needle to make it a good omen.

As for the ingenious or ineffective embroidery, no one dared to laugh at her.

While chatting and laughing, the banquet table was prepared in the flower hall, and a group of people moved over.

Mrs. Xiao Duan sat on the main seat, and got a toast from the juniors. The maid in charge also came forward and said a lot of auspicious words. The old man drank two more glasses of wine, his face was rosy.

The night got darker.

The sound of firecrackers outside was loud and deafening.

Lin Yunfeng pulled Lin Yunding and ran out to set off the fireworks. The fireworks went up to the sky and scattered in all directions.

Lin Yunyan accompanied Xiao Duan to watch.

She heard Xiao Duan say "It's another year" with emotion.

Blinking her eyes, she also nodded: "It's another year."

When Xiao Duan heard it, she turned to look at her, overjoyed: "You and Yunfang are the opposite, she doesn't care much when she is old, she only cares about a little girl, and you, your heart grows too fast, you have to catch up with her." The old woman is me."

Lin Yunyan burst out laughing, thought for a while, and then said: "We, Yunfang, have clearly grown up this year, and you will grow up too, so don't tell me to catch up."

Xiao Duan was angry and funny at the same time.

For those who are celebrating the new year, they even told her to move forward with each passing day.

"If I grow longer," she said, "I'll grow old like a monster."

"The old monster is also very good," Lin Yunyan said, "There are so many monsters out there, if you are not more fierce than them, they will come to kill you."

Xiao Duan laughed "Aiyo aiyo", and at the end of the laugh, he also sighed with soreness in his heart.

She has learned the duty of self-denial and being kind to others all her life, and the principles are deeply rooted in her heart. From the beginning to the end, she believes that there is nothing wrong with those upbringing.

She also used her kindness and sincerity to get so many priceless treasures.

Every child in her Lin family is a treasure.

She just regrets that although outsiders also have good deeds, they also have more "monsters".

She is old, but she has to learn to "get along" with monsters.

She doesn't like to take advantage of others, but she must never let others take advantage of her.

Otherwise, it will be her babies who will be wronged in the end.

Everyone is growing up, and she can't stand still either.

Speaking of which, at dawn, the foreign wives will congratulate the Empress Dowager on the New Year, and of course she and Yun Yan will also go.

You must keep your spirits up, and don't make people talk nonsense and fan the flames again.

Xiao Duan made up his mind.

In all kinds of situations, those who have enmity with their own family, such as what the two old ladies in Yunyang uncle's mansion and Xu Guogong's mansion will say and do, have to think out countermeasures one by one.

It's a pity that when the old lady was lying on the bed, she was forced to fall asleep by the alcohol before she had time to think for too long.

When Nanny Ruan came to call her, Xiao Duan woke up, feeling annoyed.

How did you fall asleep?

Not well prepared!
Why don't you ask Yunyan when you get on the carriage in a while?
Uncle Niu drove out of the house.

It was also a coincidence that the driver from Enrong Bo's mansion next door also came out, and the hatchback greeted the New Year peacefully, and then headed towards the West Palace Gate in turn.

In the car, Lin Yunyan bent her eyes and laughed when she heard Duan's question.

She knew who Yun Fang had inherited from, and the grandparents and grandchildren of the direct relatives were equally sincere.

Xiao Duan gave her a scolding look.

Seeing Lin Yunyan's smile became wider, Xiao Duan's smile made her lose his temper, so he laughed too.

"Let me teach you a trick." Lin Yunyan smiled back, and she was still willing to give advice to her grandmother, "You are not used to talking harshly with people, especially in public, and you subconsciously want to show respect to others, so just smile.

No matter what they say to you, you just look into her eyes with a smile.

The better you smile, the more fool she looks to others. "

Xiao Duan was taken aback when he heard the words, and imagined the scene...

It does seem to make sense.

You can't learn harsh words for a while, and it's impossible to be ready and confident when you encounter situations in the future, but smiling is the easiest.

As long as she puts away her former enthusiasm and just smiles without speaking, she can do well.

Xiao Duan immediately gained confidence, and when she got out of the car, she didn't feel panic at all. She turned her eyes around the people who were already present, looking for her "enemies".

Unfortunately, Mrs. Xu Guogong did not come today.

She was ill, and her daughter-in-law was also ill.

Lin Yunyan was not surprised by this.

Xu Guogong is still thinking about the past behind closed doors, and the old lady has always been outspoken. If she says something that should not be said this time, it will make things worse for the Duke's mansion, and Xu Guogong will naturally not let her show up.

Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan winked at Xiao Duan, and said in a low voice: "Look, some people are afraid of you and dare not come, how amazing you are."

Xiao Duan couldn't laugh or cry.

Not long after, the carriage from Uncle Yunyang's mansion appeared.

The old lady stood still, seeing Xiao Duan and Lin Yunyan, she ignored her daughter-in-law and walked forward quickly.

"Old lady, thank you for your mercy," Mrs. Yunyang said, "We Aliu are ignorant, we fight and fight, and I feel sorry for her who fell into the water in the cold and suffered, but it's the same as that of Xu Guogong's mansion. Compared with a thousand miles away, it is still much better.”

After the words fell, Lin Yunyan and Xiao Duan's two smiling faces responded to her.

The eyes are bent, the corners of the lips are raised, but the smile is extremely dull.

Uncle Yunyang's mouth twitched: ...

Thanks to book friend Xu Bicheng's official girlfriend for the reward.
