After Xiao's mother looked at Lin Wanwan carefully for a while, she sighed: "Wanwan, you look like the Lin family. Only these thick eyebrows resemble your mother."
Ha, this doesn’t mean it’s completely different!
Lin Wanwan smiled secretly. The eyebrows of the women in this room were all painted, and their original appearance could not be seen at all. From this, it can be seen that the "mother" whom she has never met must be similar, and she doesn't look like her at all.
Xiao's mother asked again: "Is this child the daughter of the same clan you adopted?"
Xiao Qingyu was lying on the floor, her head resting on Lin Wanwan's body.
Hearing what the old lady said, she looked up at Lin Wanwan strangely. After being ill, she no longer remembered that she was adopted, and only regarded Lin Wanwan as her biological mother. After all, time had passed
Nearly half a year passed, the two of them slept and ate together, and Lin Wanwan raised her personally, so their relationship was already extremely close.
Lin Wanwan avoided answering Mother Xiao's words, touched Xiao Qingyu's head and asked her with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er, tell the old lady, what are you to my mother?"
Xiao Yuer replied without hesitation: "My dear sweet sauce!"
Lin Wanwan smiled and looked at Xiao's mother: "Call the old lady quickly, you didn't even call me just now. We need to be good, polite children."
Xiao Yuer directly buried her face in her skirt and still refused to call anyone.
Lin Wanwan said helplessly: "Grandma, forgive me, the child is too young to let go when he comes to a strange place."
"It's okay, little kid!" Mother Xiao said with a smile, then took out a gold-inlaid jade lock from her sleeve, hung it directly on Xiao Qingyu's neck, and said with a smile, "Here, bring this safety lock.
, bless our little Yu’er to grow up safely.”
The woman next to her, who was powdered as white as snow, smiled and explained: "The old lady put this safe lock in Lingyin Temple for more than a month. It has been blessed and it is very good."
Lin Wanwan quickly thanked Xiao's mother and urged Xiao Qingyu to thank her too.
Xiao Qingyu touched the gold-inlaid jade lock and then whispered, "Old lady."
It has to be said that this kid is not afraid of rabbits.
"Hey, you're so good."
Mother Xiao laughed, and then began to introduce everyone present to Lin Wanwan one by one: "This is your eldest aunt, this is the second aunt, this is your aunt, this is your eldest uncle's sister-in-law Yuan, this is the second sister-in-law He
, and this side is your second uncle’s sister-in-law, Zhu San.”
Lin Wanwan saw the gifts one by one and received a bunch of gifts.
Xiao's mother continued: "There are four young ladies in the family who have not left the palace and two unmarried cousins. After they have finished their morning classes, we will ask them to come and meet you."
Lin Wanwan naturally smiled and said yes, and a group of people chatted in the room, basically asking about Lin Wanwan's situation. Such as when she went down the mountain, how she lived in the past, how many servants she has in the family now, etc.
When she learned that Lin Wanwan had only brought two Silla maids, a Kunlun slave and a maid to serve the young lady, her eldest aunt said repeatedly: "Oh, there are so few servants, isn't it hard to take care of them?"
It was not considerate, and my son really suffered."
Then he said to Xiao's mother: "Mother, I have raised several first-class maids in my room, and I will give them to Yu Wanwan. Alas, this child grew up in the mountains, and now he lives in the Lin family branch, and he has no family.
You can choose, the ones bought from outside cannot be used without training, and they are very painful. It makes me feel bad when I hear it. I must have suffered a lot to grow up like this."
Lin Wanwan quickly declined: "My aunt is interested. I am used to it. These few services are enough. My senior brother sent me eleven slaves from Qiongzhou a few years ago. There is no shortage of them."
As for the fact that ten of the eleven are children under the age of eight, there is no need to mention it, since they don't know anyway.
Xiao's mother said to Lin's Aunt Yuan: "The people in your room are also in good time. I have already made arrangements for the people who serve Wanwan."
After finishing speaking, he said to a maid in green waiting beside him: "Go and call the swan geese."
"Here."
After a while, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid with bright eyes, bright teeth, and a beautiful face opened the curtain and walked in. After kneeling, she knelt quietly on the floor to one side and waited for orders.
Mother Xiao pointed at her and said: "Wanwan, let Hongyan follow you from now on. How can you do that if you are surrounded by such rough and mean people as Silla maids?"
The elders give it to you and you cannot refuse it.
"So, thank you grandma for the reward." Lin Wanwan had already rejected her aunt Yuan's family, so Xiao's mother had no choice but to accept it with a smile.
Fortunately, she was somewhat mentally prepared. After all, in the information explosion society of the 21st century, there are too many such things in TV, movies, and novels.
Hongyan knew that he had been given to the lady in front of him, and immediately took two steps on his knees, bowed to Lin Wanwan, and said: "Nu Hongyan has seen the lady, and I hope you are safe."
Lin Wanwan said: "No courtesy, please get up."
Hongyan came to Lin Wanwan's lower body and knelt down quietly.
Lin Wanwan looked at the young girl in front of her. She looked smart and had the demeanor of everyone. The maids in wealthy families were indeed different.
After the maid was given, the usual conversation continued in the room. Little Qingyu squirmed her buttocks and looked around, unable to sit still any longer.
It is really impossible for a child who is only seven years old and has just turned five to be detained in a group of adults and listen to them chatting.
When Lin Wanwan was about to tell Yun Shang to take Xiao Qingyu out to play, a maid came to the door to deliver breakfast.
"Come, your cousins have also finished their morning classes. They are all having breakfast in my courtyard today to get to know each other."
As he said that, each of the maids stepped forward to help their masters and headed towards the backyard. Entering the house, various food tables and meals had already been placed inside.
Because of her age, Xiao's mother no longer sits on her knees. There is a chair and a high-leg table on her main seat, which is a bit close to modern tables and chairs.
Others are the most common kneeling-style food tables in the Tang Dynasty, placed on both sides of the room.
Although Lin Wanwan had practiced bad seating etiquette before coming here, the Tang Dynasty continued the tradition of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which respected the left. She thought she should sit in the row on the right.
But when she arrived at the scene, Lin Wanwan decided to adapt to the situation and see if they would take the initiative to arrange seats for her.
Sure enough, she only paused for a moment, and then the second aunt Wang pulled her to the second seat under Xiao's mother's right hand and said with a smile: "Wanwan is sitting with the second aunt. It makes me feel special, but also
I haven’t seen enough.”
Lin Wanwan naturally followed the good advice and felt quite satisfied. It seemed that at least so far, this group of people had not looked down upon her. The seat assigned to her was the seat next to her aunt, probably because she was a guest.
