Chapter 54 Gifts
"Don't worry, mom, I'm not a ignorant person to pick up the child. Besides, you don't know how smart, filial and sensible the two children Yan Ge'er and Lan'er are. There is nothing in the family who doesn't like them.
My master never leaves Brother Yan, saying that children are particularly hard to endure hardships, and learning martial arts is very hard to lay a foundation. They don’t shout out a word from beginning to end, and they do whatever they are very sensible and never ask any more questions.
His knowledge is also very outstanding. The Master praised him several times, but my son-in-law is too strict and rarely smiles. Not to mention Lan'er, my mother-in-law seems to be a granddaughter and teaches her lovely.
This child is very smart. The key is that he is open-minded and upright in his heart, filial and grateful, and is not spoiled or willful. Sometimes, my Huier even throws a tantrum when she is unhappy. Lan'er doesn't. I like these two children very much."
Ma mentioned the two children of the Song family, but praised them and taught them very well.
The old lady smiled and said, "The Song family's upbringing is numerous. You are not sure whether you are young or not. The ancestors of the Song family have produced imperial sects, but after a long time, no one can remember them.
The Song family has indeed not produced a stunning figure in recent years, but the family style and tutoring are very strict, and the children are very successful. The family has the most low-ranking positions. If they are not well educated, can all children become officials? The imperial examination is not so easy to take the imperial examination."
Zhang pondered for a while before suddenly remembering, "You are talking about Mr. Song. Oh, it's really two generations away. It's the time of Emperor Haode."
"Isn't it? The Song family has never had a high-ranking official position in recent years. Originally, Song Zhengtian's father had a great hope of further development, but a serious illness took his life.
Otherwise, your sister-in-law would not be able to enter the Song family. This family is a serious family."
What they said was just gossip. Yang was a concubine's daughter but came from the eldest son's house of the Marquis's mansion. She was not very bad at being a registered daughter.
Song Zhengtian is a child of the Song family, born in Tanhualang, and his family is also a big family. But his parents went there a little earlier, so he raised some points, otherwise the Yang family's registered identity would not have been able to enter the Song family.
Ma thought about it carefully and nodded with a smile, "I really let my mother talk, otherwise why would it be fate?
My sister-in-law also said in private that she had a good fortune. She was obviously a concubine daughter but was raised by the princess's mother. Her identity was raised and she could still marry Tanhualang as her first wife. She was so lucky. She was a person who knew how to be grateful and filial."
"That's right, the kind of person will have the same fate. Look at your sister-in-law who is grateful and filial and good at being a human being, and has a future step by step. Life is happy and stable, and others can't envy you."
Old Mrs. Ma also likes Yang very much. She is smart, cheerful and generous. The key is that she uses the right place and never makes smart. You should watch the life get better and better.
"I saw that Lan'er was influenced by her sister-in-law. Such a young child knew how to be grateful and was very filial and sensible on weekdays. He played with my Hui'er and allowed Hui'er to be in good condition. But Zhao Xuan'er, I was very worried."
Ma mentioned Zhao Xuan'er and frowned again.
Old Mrs. Ma smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, if there is anything wrong, the old lady will deal with it.
Her mother has used up all the last bit of kindness and favors of the Marquis. No one can say that the Marquis's mansion has ignored the kindness, and we can't pay the whole family."
"That's right, I'm afraid people will be afraid. Today, you don't know that Xuan'er's child is acting like a fool, and she just drags Lan'er and makes her embarrassed every time.
The same is true today. I asked Lan'er if she could take her. Huier said that she came to her house to play in the last sentence.
As a result, Lan scolded her fiercely, and every sentence was on the point, and there was no resentful word. Instead, she was so mean to make her be more filial to her elders, thanking her for teaching her to guide her, and integrating into the Marquis’s mansion. How could this child be so smart?"
Ma looked jealous and admiring.
The old lady laughed and said, "Lan'er, this child has wisdom. As soon as I came in, I found that his eyes were very awesome and his speech etiquette was excellent. Not to mention that Hui'er was not as good as her, even Lin'er and Yan'er could not compare with her. This child was prematurely wise."
"Yes, my mother-in-law said the same thing, and asked Madam Qi to teach her, for fear of learning wrong, so she was very concerned about her affairs and taught her step by step. She really liked this child."
"Who doesn't like sensible and intelligent children?"
"Isn't that true?"
Ma said this to his mother and sister-in-law in the house, while Zilan followed Huier, Ma Liner and Ma Yaner to play in the garden.
"Wow, your lotus is so beautiful, and there are pink ones, so beautiful."
As soon as Zi Lan arrived at the pond in the garden, she saw the lotus flowers blooming inside, white and pink, delicate and charming.
"You came late, and there were still camellias earlier. My grandmother raised many camellias and peony flowers and the like. They looked so beautiful when they bloomed and the fragrance was strong."
Ma Yan'er proudly showed off to her friends.
"Well, although I can't see camellias anymore, the lotus is also beautiful."
Shuhui also nodded and smiled.
The four friends had a great time together. They took Zilan to see the flower room and recognized many flower varieties. Old Mrs. Ma liked to take care of flowers and plants, and was very capable and could raise many precious varieties.
During the conversation, I realized that Zilan was very familiar with flowers. He could recognize the varieties of flowers at a glance, and the flowering time was played. The story was very detailed, which surprised the Ma girl and chattered and asked her all the time.
I stayed at the Ma family for lunch at noon and used it with the old lady. The Ma family's meals were lighter, but very delicious.
After a meal and resting for a while, Ma took them to say goodbye and was about to go home.
The two of Ma Lin'er and sisters held Zi Lan's hand and were reluctant to leave.
"Sister Lan'er, you will come often when you have time. When you can write a letter, you will contact us."
"Okay, I will definitely come often if I have the chance. We can communicate with each other in the future. I will give you the incense I made myself."
Zilan is also very happy to be able to make friends. The child's world is simple and not that complicated and changeable, which also makes her relax and feel happy and relaxed.
"Okay, I've agreed, Sister Lan, my grandmother said that I'll give you this pot of white camellia as a gift. I hope you will always be happy and beautiful as a flower."
Zi Lan was immediately surprised and widened her eyes, "Give it to me, such a beautiful flower."
Ma Lin'er proudly raised her chin, "My grandmother loves these camellias very much. She doesn't give them to others easily. She is rare to give them to you. You have to take good care of it."
"Well, I will find care. Thank the old lady for me. I'm so happy."
Zilan was particularly happy. He didn't expect to get a pot of good camellia, which was very beautiful when it bloomed.
"Goodbye, come and have time to play."
"Thank you sisters, I have had such a great time. Thank you for your gifts, I like it very much."
