Because there is no male host in Lin Wanwan's family, she always asks her cousins from the clan to help with the banquet, and today is no exception.
Lin Mengbo, Meng Jin, Lin Mengli and others who came to help arrived at Lin's house yesterday and stayed directly in the guest house.
Lin Wanwan ordered her husband to be led into the flower hall to be entertained by Lin Mengbo and others, while the wife and children were brought to the main courtyard where Lin Wanwan lived.
With the arrival of the ladies of the Wang family, the hall instantly became lively, with tricks and embroidery and fragrant breeze blowing. The maids served various cakes and fruits, and Lin Wanwan invited everyone to sit down on the floor.
Because there are no elders in Lin Wanwan's family, and today is a birthday party, the people sent around by various families are basically sisters-in-law who are about the same age as her. The elders are not here, so that the young people can communicate more easily.
For a time, the hall was filled with beauty, laughter and laughter.
Lin Wanwan just socialized and chatted with the ladies, and arranged for Heng Wu to take his favorite student Lin Da Niu to do the gift registration.
After a while, people from the Zhang family, the Shi family, the Fan family, and the Fang family all arrived one after another with gifts. Lin Wanwan led everyone in the courtyard to play with grass and hairpins, and guess the words. It was very lively.
The Wang family and Lin Zhai were neighbors, the Zhang family and the Wang family were related by marriage, and Xiao Qingyu studied in the Wang family private school, so these two families were closer to Lin Wanwan than others.
In particular, Mrs. Wang, the eldest daughter-in-law of Zhang's family, was the best friend of Lin Wanwan. She always protected Lin Wanwan when talking and laughing, and helped Lin Wanwan block a lot of jealous teasing.
Lin Wanwan smiled brightly at Wang and showed her gratitude, and the latter smiled back understandingly.
As for the Lin family's extraordinary rise, Le'an Xiangjun, because of her status as a fifth-grade Xiangjun and her extraordinary wealth, everyone publicly praised her, but privately they still had to talk about her in various ways, and it was inevitable to laugh.
Bring a sentiment or two.
After all, in terms of background, Lin, who doesn't even have a child, is really not good enough. But now that she has become the center of the circle, she is not convinced.
Xiao Qingyu led a group of children to the ear room where she kept the little milk cat. They all had a great time feeding and brushing the little milk cat together.
The nobles of the Tang Dynasty loved to keep pets, but most of them were fierce pets, such as leopards and lynxes, so they were kept by adults and children were not allowed to touch them.
But Xiao Qingyu is different. Not only does she have pets, but she also forms an army of animals, and those animals are all trained to be smart and obey orders, which has long made all the children envious.
This time I came to Xiaoxi Town for a short stay. Although Xiao Qingyu didn’t bring all the animal army with me, the proud lynx and the majestic Haidongqing were majestic enough, and there were also two cute and cute ones.
The little milk cat satisfies everyone's desire to be kissed and hugged, which is enough to make the children forget to leave.
Xiao Qingyu is not the oldest among the children, but she is used to being surrounded by children in Linjiazhuang and being the king of children, so she is the same now.
All the children, regardless of age, are surrounding her. She is the richest and has the most tricks here!
After taking a good look at the little milk cat, Xiao Qingyu took out her glass checkers and played checkers with others.
The children touched the crystal clear glass beads and were filled with envy: "Little Qingyu, your mother is willing to give you such a treasure to play with."
How is using glass beads as chess pieces different from using gold and silver jewelry as chess pieces in the eyes of everyone? This kind of exclusive and infinite love is something that children like them, who have several brothers and sisters in the family, cannot understand at all.
Most of the children have strict fathers and loving mothers, and many elders are pressing down on them. There are many rules and few roles. How can there be such a collection of thousands of favors as Xiao Qingyu's?
Look at the toys she brought out. The little cat lived in an exquisite and delicate villa, with all the furniture and tools for playing house. The ones she used to play with were priceless glass beads, and she didn't even think about it.
Something happened.
There is also the glazed hourglass base used for timing and the magical bubble liquid. They are not vulgar things.
After everyone gathered around the book table and played checkers for a long time, a few children who were waiting for their bye got bored. Little Qingyu rolled her eyes and suggested: "I have a very magical magnifying glass that can attract the sun's rays to make fire.
Let’s go have some fun?”
Xinyue, the nine-year-old eldest daughter of the Wang family, hesitated when she heard the words: "Xiao Qingyu, my mother said that fire and water have no mercy, and children cannot play with it."
Xiao Qingyu waved her hand boldly: "I'm not really playing with fire, I'm doing a little science experiment!"
"A little science experiment? What is this?"
"What is science?"
All the children asked questions around Xiao Qingyu, and Xiao Qingyu proudly talked about one or two small science experiments that she had learned from Lin Wanwan.
Pour water into a cup and just use a piece of paper to stop the water from flowing out; paint colors on both ends of the paper and water the top with water, and a magic rainbow bridge will appear; cut three square radishes
block, insert three thin wooden strips (toothpicks) to form a herringbone shape, and then align the thin wooden strips with the middle radish piece inserted into the thin wooden strips on the base. When placed, the radish piece will rotate steadily
stand up.
The children were amazed when they heard it, not believing it but also yearning for it.
At this moment, Rongrong, who was ordered to get the magnifying glass, came back. Xiao Qingyu took the magnifying glass, waved her hand, took out a piece of white paper from the bookcase next to her, and said: "Let's go, I will take you to burn paper with the sun.
"
A group of children squeezed out of the ear room and came to the yard in front of the corridor. Xiao Qingyu chose a place with the brightest sunshine, spread the white paper on the ground, then held up a magnifying glass and shined it in the sun, constantly adjusting the mirror surface to let the children shine.
The light spot that hits the white paper should be as small as possible.
"My mother said, the smaller the light spot, the faster the ignition." Xiao Qingyu explained to the children around him.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the light spot on the white paper ignited, and the children exclaimed loudly.
"It's burning! It's really burning!"
"It turns out that glass can also be used to light fire!"
"Then you won't need to worry about the fire at home anymore."
The children were talking about it, and Xiao Qingyu had already stamped out the sparks, and was proudly surrounded by the children in the center, answering everyone's questions.
"Xiao Qingyu, can you let me try to light a fire too?"
"I want to try it too."
"I want it too, I want it too!"
Such fun and new things are hard to resist for children who are very curious. If they don’t play with their own hands, they won’t be able to eat today.
Xiao Qingyu naturally didn't say anything, and immediately said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, come one by one. Sister Xinyue, you come first."
Wang Xinyue was the best at reading, and often helped Xiao Qingyu study. Because she was a little older than the other children, Xiao Qingyu also liked her the most.
Although Wang Xinyue just said that she couldn't play with fire and water, but now she saw the magic of using glass pieces to light up the white paper, how could she hold back, after all, she was just a nine-year-old child.
The children here are having fun, but the servants surrounding them are frightened. Burning white paper and playing with fire are not serious games, so don't get criticized.
