Everywhere in the capital is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
The lights in Uncle Chengyi's mansion are also brightly lit.
Lin Yunfang sat next to Xiao Duan, holding her old man's hand, and counting with her: "I have read the brochure, the kitchen has prepared salted duck, eight-treasure tofu, honey fire recipe, crab meat buns, meatball soup,
There are many more, but of course the least of them is your favorite Liuhe beef breast."
Mrs. Chen was busy talking to the nuns and couldn't help laughing when she heard the words.
Turning her head, she nodded to Lin Yunfang and said: "In one year, I will be one year older, and I will be a big girl, and she will still memorize the menu like a little kid."
Lin Yunfang made faces with her, and then went to joke with Xiao Duan: "Old and young, who doesn't care about good food?"
Xiao Duan laughed heartily.
Lin Yunyan was sitting on the other side, listening to Lin Yunjing arranging various embroidery patterns for her dowry. She couldn't help laughing when she heard what was going on there.
Lin Yunjing's ankles are no longer as swollen as before, but her family doesn't allow her to stand on the ground. She goes in and out in a small bamboo sedan, which has to be kept for hundreds of days.
She also smiled, and while smiling, she said: "I'm talking to you about something serious. Don't get distracted. I've traced the hijab pattern for you, and you can embroider it accordingly. Tell me if you have any ideas."<
/p>
Lin Yunyan looked at the red silk handkerchief in her hand and praised: "My eldest sister is so skillful and lifelike."
What little talent she had as a girl was indeed wasted on the patterns drawn by Lin Yunjing herself.
Of course, for them, these are all daily pastimes, just a hobby. Where can they use their sewing in their daily life?
Talented people like Lin Yunjing enjoy themselves and naturally study more.
Lin Yunyan's mind is not on this, she can only say that it is enough.
In other words, it was something that would be used in the wedding proposal. She had to embroider it to make it a good sign.
As for whether the embroidery was clever or not, no one dared to laugh at her.
While they were chatting and laughing, a banquet was prepared in the flower hall, and the group of people moved over.
Mr. Duan sat on the main seat and was toasted by the younger generation. The steward and maid also came forward and said many auspicious words. The old man drank two more glasses of wine and his face was rosy.
The night is getting deeper.
The sound of firecrackers rang out everywhere, deafening.
Lin Yunfeng took Lin Yunding and ran out to set off the fireworks. The fireworks went up to the sky and scattered in all directions.
Lin Yunyan watched with little Duan.
She heard Xiao Duan saying with emotion, "It's another year."
She blinked and nodded: "Another year."
Xiao Duan heard this and turned to look at her, extremely happy: "You and Yunfang are doing the opposite. She is getting older year after year without caring about her heart. A little girl is just a piece of cake. As for you, your heart is growing too fast. You have to catch up.
I'm an old woman."
Lin Yunyan burst into laughter, thought for a moment, and then said: "We Yunfang have clearly grown up this year. No matter how long you grow, don't let me catch up."
Little Duan is both angry and funny.
During the Chinese New Year, she was told to move forward with each passing day.
"No matter how long I grow," she said, "I will become an old monster."
"The old monster is pretty good," Lin Yunyan said, "There are so many monsters out there. If you are not more fierce than them, they will come to hurt you."
Little Duan laughed "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh," and even to the end of her laughter, her heart felt sour and sighing.
She has learned the duty of self-denial and kindness to others all her life, and the principles have been deeply ingrained in her heart. From beginning to end, she believed that those upbringings were correct.
She also used her kindness and sincerity to obtain so many priceless treasures.
Every child in her Lin family is a treasure.
She just regrets that although there are good people in the outside world, there are also more "monsters".
She is old, but she has to learn to "get along" with monsters.
She doesn't like to take advantage of others, but she will never let others take advantage of her.
Otherwise, her babies will be the ones who suffer in the end.
Everyone is growing up, and she cannot stand still.
Speaking of which, when dawn comes, the foreign wives will congratulate the Empress Dowager on the New Year, and of course she and Yun Yan will also go.
You must cheer up and don't fan the flames again by talking nonsense.
Xiao Duan made up his mind.
We need to think of countermeasures one by one for all kinds of situations and what those two old ladies who have enmity with us, such as the two old ladies from Yunyang Bo's Mansion and Xu Guogong's Mansion, will say and do.
Unfortunately, when the old lady lay on the bed, she was driven to sleep by the alcohol before she could think for too long.
When Nanny Ruan came to call her, little Duan woke up and couldn't help but feel upset.
Why did you just fall asleep?
Not fully prepared!
Why not ask Yun Yan again in the carriage later?
Uncle Niu drove out of the house.
It was also a coincidence that the driver from the Enrongbo Mansion next door also came out. The two cars said New Year's greetings in a friendly manner, and then headed towards the West Palace Gate.
In the car, Lin Yunyan bent her eyes and smiled when she heard Xiao Duan's question.
She finally knew who Yunfang inherited her writing skills from. Both her direct relatives, her ancestors and her grandson, were indeed equally sincere.
Xiao Duan gave her an angry look.
Seeing Lin Yunyan's smile become even brighter, Xiao Duan was so laughed at that she lost all temper, and she also laughed.
"Let me teach you a trick," Lin Yunyan smiled, still willing to teach her grandmother, "You are not used to speaking harshly to others, especially in public. You subconsciously want to show dignity to others, so just smile.<
/p>
No matter what they say to you, you just look into her eyes with a smile.
The more decent you smile, the more stupid she will be in the eyes of others."
Xiao Duan was stunned when he heard this and imagined the scene...
It does seem to make some sense.
You can't learn harsh words in a while, and you won't be able to turn back when encountering situations in the future. You are ready and have a plan in mind, but smiling is the easiest thing.
As long as she puts away her usual enthusiasm and just smiles without saying anything, she can do it well.
Little Duan immediately gained confidence and waited for her to get off the car without panicking. She looked around at the people who had arrived, looking for her "enemies".
Unfortunately, Mrs. Xu Guogong did not come today.
She is ill, and her daughter-in-law is also ill.
Lin Yunyan was not surprised by this.
Mr. Xu Guogong is still thinking about his past behind closed doors, and the old lady has always been outspoken. If she says something that shouldn't be said this time, it will make the Duke's mansion worse, and naturally Mr. Xu will not let her show up.
Thinking about this, Lin Yunyan winked at Xiao Duan and said in a lowered voice: "Look, some people are too afraid of you to come. How awesome you are."
Mr. Duan was both laughing and crying.
Not long after, the carriage from the Yunyang residence appeared.
The old lady stood still, and when she saw Xiao Duan and Lin Yunyan, she ignored her daughter-in-law and walked forward quickly.
"Old lady, I have to thank you for your mercy," Mrs. Yunyang Bo said. "Our A'liu is ignorant and fights. I still feel sorry for her falling into the water in the cold weather and suffering, but it's nothing like the third-rate man in Xu Guogong's mansion."
A thousand miles away, it’s still much better.”
After she finished speaking, she was greeted by the smiling faces of Lin Yunyan and Xiao Duan.
The eyes are bent, the corners of the lips are raised, but the smile is very weak.
