After the tea party ended, Lin Wanwan walked slowly on the path back to her room. Thinking about all the words of her third cousin today, she couldn't help but laugh. Is the education gap so big just because the second cousin is not the heir?
too exaggerated.
When she was about to fall asleep at night, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but ask Hongyan: "My third cousin, what does he do? What is his connection with the Lu family?"
Hongyan replied: "Mr. Sanlang works in the Sixth Department of the County Government and was recommended by Mrs. Lu."
After saying this, Lin Wanwan understood that there can be no unreasonable favor and praise in this world, everything must be profitable.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that Xiao Jingkun found the civil service job through Mrs. Lu’s nepotism. No wonder he wanted to support Mrs. Lu.
Of course, her parents have to support her in providing food and clothing. I think she was also very tolerant of Chen Jinyu in college. There is no way, people have to bow their heads under the roof, who can let others help them make money.
It's just that Xiao Jingkun's level of flattery is too exaggerated and completely out of character.
However, being able to sneak into a civil servant position with such shamelessness is considered a great thing. The eldest cousin Xiao Jingfeng and the second cousin Xiao Jingwen are both completely white, and they are just tutors in the family.
Of course, if the eldest family can inherit 80% of the family wealth when the family separates after Xiao's mother passes away, it is true that there is no need to work too hard, and it is not impossible for the children of the family to just live and die.
It is different compared to the second house. If you get separated in the future, you will have to rely on yourself, and you must make good plans for the future. The career of civil servants has always been stable and popular, no matter in ancient or modern times.
Before she fell asleep, Lin Wanwan vaguely thought that Xiao Chong was quite good. He had already reached the position of magistrate of Luang County at a young age, which was on the same level as his uncle, who was almost older than him.
Two rounds.
Moreover, what Xiao Chong is doing now is much better than that of his uncle. After all, once the mountain weir is built, it will be famous forever. The Lu County Magistrate of Qiantang County is unknown in history, so it can be seen that he has made no achievements.
.
Lin Wanwan felt a little proud when she thought that it was because she saved Xiao Chong's life that she changed the course of Luan County's history.
If I hadn't saved Xiao Chong with the medicine of later generations last year, the mountain weir would have had to wait another two hundred years to be built. The people of Luan County would naturally have to endure the disaster for another two hundred years.
She didn't know what kind of person she would be as Xiao Chong's aunt. Her looks would definitely be good, and her genes were there. Lin Wanwan was quite looking forward to it.
Tomorrow will be her first formal external banquet when she enters the upper class society of the Tang Dynasty. According to the information, at the banquets of the upper class society of the Tang Dynasty, everyone has to drink alcohol, so she should not make a fool of herself.
Thinking about things like this, Lin Wanwan gradually fell into a deep sleep. She had a dreamless night and had a good sleep.
On the morning of the next day, the main topic of conversation among the Xiao sisters was about going to the Lu family for a banquet in the afternoon.
Xiao Jingkun seemed to be afraid that his sisters would embarrass him, so he kept walking from the front yard to the backyard to see the preparations of his sisters, cousins, and cousins, and from time to time he made some ridiculous suggestions.
Lin Wanwan was very relaxed. She put on the dress that Yunshang made for her and Xiao Qingyu. The beautiful embroidery would definitely dazzle everyone.
Even though she comes from the countryside, she must not lose her aura. She has a thousand years of civilization behind her.
Xiao Jingkun seemed quite satisfied with the clothes of Lin Wanwan and his daughter, and even said something to prevent Lin Wanwan from being overly nervous because she was going to the Lu family as a guest.
Mrs. Lu will not look down on her just because she comes from the seaside countryside of Luan County. She will not ask for other low-status women like she wants for her daughter.
Lin Wanwan: "..."
You are so good at talking, third cousin!
His sister, 14-year-old Xiao Ronghua, was at a loss because of her brother's urging and random comments. She changed her clothes several times but was still not satisfied.
A banquet like this invited by another wife is also a blind date for young ladies, which is very important. But she was so beaten up by her biological brother that she almost didn't dare to go out.
Later, when I thought of Lin Wanwan's dress, I gritted my teeth and came to ask for help.
At this time, Lin Wanwan had dressed herself and Xiao Qingyu up early, and was sitting with Xiao Qingyu leisurely eating cherries to pass the time.
"Cousin Wanwan, can you help me put on makeup? I can't draw the flowers between my eyebrows well." Xiao Ronghua, the little girl with the most ordinary appearance in the entire Xiao family, walked into Lin Wanwan's room with tears in her eyes.
Lin Wanwan couldn't help laughing when she saw the layer of white powder floating on the other person's face and the eyebrows drawn like Crayon Shin-chan.
He immediately ordered Hongyan to fetch a basin of water, use honey facial soap to create rich foam, and then asked her to wash off all the powder on her face.
"I have a more comfortable powder here. I will help you put on your makeup in a moment. Don't worry."
Xiao Ronghua suddenly burst into tears and said with a smile: "Thank you, cousin Wanwan."
After washing off the makeup, Lin Wanwan said: "You need to close your eyes when putting on makeup. Just close your eyes and I will start applying makeup on you."
"Okay." Xiao Ronghua obediently closed his eyes and raised his face to let Lin Wanwan play with it.
Lin Wanwan quickly took out her makeup primer, applied it to her face, and then applied foundation, which was very smooth.
Little Qingyu clung to Lin Wanwan tightly next to her, sometimes touching eye shadow, sometimes playing with lipstick, and kept asking Lin Wanwan: "Mother, why can't children wear makeup?"
"Mom, what is this shiny thing?"
"Mom, can I apply lipstick?"
"No, no, no, no!" Lin Wanwan was applying makeup to Xiao Ronghua at an undiminished speed while stopping Xiao Qingyu's hand from reaching for her makeup.
This little guy has already broken one of her lipsticks. He is so cute and beautiful at such a young age.
Because Yun Shang, Huanong and Hongyan were all ordered by Lin Wanwan to wait outside, no one came to pull the troublesome little Qingyu away. Fortunately, Lin Wanwan had an infinite tolerance for her own baby and did not find her annoying.
Soon, the whole process of applying eye shadow, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, blush, contouring, electric eyelash curler, mascara, setting powder, etc. was completed. Finally, Lin Wanwan bought a lot of eyebrows from Hyundai for a few dollars.
stick.
This kind of flower sticker can be put on in a few seconds after you wet the back with water. The colors and patterns are all printed by a computer. They are absolutely perfect and extremely easy to use.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Wanwan put on Xiao Ronghua's makeup. Nothing but familiarity. Makeup is a basic skill for etiquette. In order to save the cost of a makeup artist, Lin Wanwan learned it by herself after reading many makeup books and videos.
, fast and effective.
After putting away her cosmetics, Lin Wanwan said: "Okay, cousin Rong Hua, you can open your eyes. I have already put on your makeup."
Xiao Ronghua slowly opened his eyes and looked at himself in the bronze mirror who turned white for an instant and his eyes got bigger. He couldn't believe it.
