Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 36
Hui Lan did not disappoint her aunt this time, she brought her books to study on time every day.

Mrs. Li is very satisfied with her eagerness to learn, and because she is quite smart (the fog!).In addition to the routine literacy and red tracing, I will tell her about ancient times for about half an hour every day.

Mrs. Li is not a little girl like Narcissus, she has allusions and anecdotes at her fingertips, and history and battles are even more meaningful.The vivid place makes people feel as if they are in it, thrilling.Hui Lan used the energy she had in her senior year of high school and devoted herself wholeheartedly.

What affected her personally was that there were ready-made quills and charcoal sticks for writing, which saved her from tossing about being unconventional.

The popularity of these things stems from the rapid development of commerce and the development of shipping, and Hui Lan didn't bother much after expressing a few words.

Take your time, you can't become a fat man with one bite.It is more important and more fun for her to accumulate material.

Hui Lan's life in the Duke's Mansion became more comfortable. Taking advantage of Xiumu, she sent gifts to her cousins.

In addition to a suet jade tablet for each person, a set of jade tube pens for the girl, and a good bow for each of the two cousins.There are two young ones, Liu Lang is a good inkstone, and Qin Niangzi is a Zijin Nine Rings.They are all good things stored in the library of Li's family. The No Matter card is carved out of a whole piece of good jade, and the mutton fat jade bracelets of the two wives are also from here.Hui Lan kept another nothing card, a pair of jade bracelets, and a few other small things, and the jade material was used up.

The brothers and sisters all like it very much, and each has a gift in return.

The most earth-shattering gift was her second cousin, who gave a pair of fine dogs.Said it was for her to hunt in the future, but Hui Lan was not afraid of dogs, so she readily accepted it.

The unlucky second cousin was scolded by his mother, and the gift was almost confiscated.Huilan begged for a long time to keep the pair of little milk dogs who were estimated to be only a month old.It's not enough to be scolded by the company, but it's not enough to take back two girls who are in charge of serving the uncle dog.

After this battle, the two brothers and sisters have a tacit understanding of sympathy.In addition to continuing to cheat on this bastard cousin, Hui Lan also has some revolutionary friendships, occasionally helping him with a good word, and halving the punishment for each of them.Of course, this is so rare that it can be ignored.

The second-hand cousin is indeed the aunt's own son, and he is not wrong at all.He never held grudges, no matter how angry he was, he would be gone after a night of sleep.

Hui Lan has been an only child since before, but it is rare to cultivate some sibling (?) affection with her second-hand cousin.

Time entered June, and the government began to supply ice.It was so hot that it seemed like a fireball was falling, and Hui Lan's small class also stopped.Except for breakfast and dinner, Hui Lan basically does not leave the courtyard.

Hui Lan felt that these days were simply too decadent, and she felt overwhelmed with guilt.She insisted on drawing red every day, and used charcoal sticks to draw ghosts on the small desk by herself.

Her nurturing mother is already in place, and she is under their watchful eyes except when she writes and sleeps and writes.

Both were in their forties, one was surnamed Wu and the other was surnamed Lin.They are all smiling and soft-spoken.Each of them was on duty by Huilan's side for half a day, and Huilan's behavior and speech were all within the scope of their work.Whenever she has irregularities, they will gently but firmly point them out for her to correct.A standard gentle smile, a soft tone of voice, and firm eyes.

Huilan is a soft-spoken person, so she has become more disciplined after being raised like this.

Huilan doesn't dislike them, she also wants to be an elegant and noble lady.They are not rigid and strict, and they have no tendency to train her to be a wooden person.Cymbidium was half passive, half active and got used to them and accepted them.

But as a free-spirited adult, Hui Lan still hopes to have her own independent space.

So after June, she would spend two hours alone in her study after waking up from a nap every day.The so-called study room is a space separated by a small Suzhou embroidery screen next to the desk in the main room.

Mother Wu also gently advised her not to stay in the study for so long, and she didn't let the servant girl serve her.

Hui Lan pushed her back with a smile, and they never mentioned it again.

Except for this little episode, they get along very well.The two foster mothers were also well-founded and did not interfere with Hui Lan's affairs.

In view of her changes, Mrs. Li was very happy, and praised Huilan and the nurturing mothers.They also helped Huilan in a disguised way, and since then the two mothers have become more tolerant towards Huilan.

While eating breakfast this day, Hui Lan felt that her aunt was absent-minded.

While eating, she thought about her uncle and her two cousins.Then eat with peace of mind, it's not the most important person's business, everything else is nothing.

After dinner, the aunt and nephew went into the east room to talk about themselves.

Hui Lan was not good at inquiring about other people's privacy, so she wentssiping with her aunt.

After a while, Mrs. Li sighed softly, "The second day of August is Mrs. Tai's birthday. Although it is a casual birthday, it should not be ignored."

Hui Lan blinked her eyes, "No wonder my aunt and aunt have lightened up these days. No wonder they have to do housework and organize birthday parties in hot weather."

"What nonsense are you talking about? On a hot day, a stone will lose three points. What's more, my sister-in-law and I are suffering from summer, and this will be fine. After falling into the sun, my sister-in-law can't even eat." Mrs. Li was beaten by her niece Tong Yan amused, and then there was a trace of worry at the end.

Hui Lan pursed her lips and smiled, "My Bixi's mother is in the big kitchen, so I took advantage of her to eat some dim sum made by her. It's pretty good. I can try it when my aunt is free."

Madam Li smiled and nodded.

"Mrs. Tai's birthday is over, so I have to find a replacement birthday gift quickly." Hui Lan answered again.

At this moment, Mrs. Li finally stopped laughing, "Oh, good Huier, I really wronged you."

Well, the reason has been found.Hui Lan comforted her aunt indifferently, "I am free and easy about what my aunt said. I didn't suffer any grievances. Don't sigh, my uncle thought that my second cousin and I were mischievous again when I came back. He could have escaped a catastrophe, but the second cousin will definitely be beaten."

"Pfft, you two bastards. You're okay, your second cousin, my hands itch when I mention him." Mrs. Li was amused by her niece, and thinking of her youngest son, she was really angry and funny.

Hui Lan smiled innocently on the side.

With such an interruption, Mrs. Li's melancholy disappeared, and she was not a person who loved to worry too much.

She told Huilan the whole story with resentment, and Huilan nodded as she listened.

It turned out that Mrs. Tai sent the word that Hui Lan should stay in the house during her birthday, so that she wouldn't offend the birthday star and distinguished guests with her filial piety.

Mrs. Li originally planned to take Huilan to meet her relatives when celebrating her birthday, but Mrs. Tai disrupted the rhythm completely and made her angry again.But Mrs. Tai is an elder, so what she said cannot be said to be wrong.No matter how angry and aggrieved she was, she could only admit it. She was also worried about making her niece sad, so she prepared a carload of words to comfort her.

In the end, Hui Lan was not angry at all. Although she didn't know what offended Mrs. Tai, she didn't take it to heart, and she was even more lazy to investigate.

She is not Jin Yuanbao, why should everyone like her.

For Huilan, a former social worker, no matter how much love and love she receives, she has to give the same amount or even more.She cherishes and appreciates those who are close to her and who genuinely care for her.For other unfamiliar and cornered relatives, she is not sensitive to gratitude, and it is ideal to keep face.It would be better to be able to explain to her like Mrs. Tai that cars and horses do not interfere with river water.

Not only will she not be angry and wronged, but she is also sincerely grateful.Hui Lan even sighed, wondering if she would be able to live like Mrs. Tai in a few decades.You can talk to whoever you want to talk to, and if you don't want to talk to him, you don't even need to say polite words.How chic and comfortable you live, you are the winner in life if you live like this.Hui Lan's sincere envy for Mrs. Tai.

"It's okay, Mrs. Tai is right. I heard some words about birthdays by chance before. I wanted to ask clearly and offered a birthday gift early to avoid it. I am comfortable with myself and don't need to be embarrassed by others. In the end, I forgot. Aunt today I didn't realize it until I mentioned it." Hui Lan brought tea to her aunt and said with a nonchalant smile.

Mrs. Li took the cup and looked at her niece hesitantly.Not only did he not see any grievances and sadness, but only a calm smile on his face.Only then did she feel relieved. In fact, it is the rule of the world for those who value filial piety to avoid happy events, especially for the elderly.She also loves her little niece, and she gets angry because she thinks Mrs. Tai is too straightforward.

Seeing her niece being open-minded and not caring, Mrs. Li felt much better. "That's right. I originally wanted to let you recognize your relatives while I had all the relatives in the family, but I forgot that you would feel uncomfortable going out to socialize at this time, and others might not be at ease either. It's because I didn't think carefully, my aunt is so confused."

Hui Lan was amused by her aunt's self-deprecating, just kidding, you are only thirty years old, a mature and beautiful woman with the style of Yu Jie, and you say that you are old and foolish, this is ridiculous.

"Auntie, do you dare to be in front of the old lady, and the old lady said that I am old and foolish? It would be strange not to be scolded by them. If you care about it, you will be confused. Hui'er understands." Hui Lan joked at her aunt, and sincerely comforted her.

Mrs. Li was moved and hugged her niece reluctantly to let go.
