Chapter 33

Zilan got a new toy and asked her to hang it on the corridor outside the door, took a small stick, went to tease the birds, fed the millet and water, and listened to the birds' crisp chirping, and was quite happy.

Shuhui and Ma also came back from outside, "Sister Hui, my father bought us a bird. You see, there are two, which one do you like?"

Shuhui happily spread Ma's hand and ran over. She looked up for a long time, but she still chose the red-haired bird.

"I want this red peony, you can take good care of me, but you are not allowed to die. This was given to me by my uncle."

Shuhui specifically instructed the maid.

"Yes, Miss, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you two."

The peony responded crisply.

"Thank you, Sister Mudan. My father and I went to the street. I bought some small things and some food. I asked Sister Hongxia to take it and divide it. There are also yours. I also bought some fragrant flakes. If you don't dislike it, go and choose a few."

Zilan specifically asked Mu Xiang to choose more gadgets that girls like with her, without much money, so that she could please these girls and speak and do things smoothly in the Hou’s Mansion in the future.

"Thank you for the reward of Miss Cousin, we have benefited from it every time."

Peony saluted her.

Mudan is the old lady's maid, a second-class person. Now she has been given to Shuhui. This is also the meaning of the old lady taking care of her granddaughter. After all, Shuhui is the legitimate granddaughter, but she cannot occupy the eldest, because she is the daughter of her second uncle and was not born to her eldest uncle, so strictly speaking, she cannot occupy the eldest.

But in fact, I don’t care so much. Only by entering the palace to the imperial examination will they be strictly distinguished. It is not hindered to get married in private. Anyone who is born in the legitimate daughter is very precious.

"Sister, just don't mind the things I choose being crude."

Zi Lan didn't care either, she just gave some gifts to get a good reputation.

"Sister, these two birds are so beautiful and call them so nicely. Mom, look at the birds my uncle bought for me."

Shuhui pointed at the bird cage and showed off her mother Ma with great joy.

Ma smiled lovingly at her and said, "As soon as your uncle came back, he brought you a gift and bought birds. You must take good care of your sister."

"knew."

Shuhui shook her head and tail happily, and pulled Zilan and asked non-stop.

This bird cage is also specially selected, exquisite and beautiful, and it is to please children.

The two little ones played for a while and returned to the house. Muxiang took a tray and placed two small plates on it. "Miss, have some snacks. Don't you want to eat the snacks you bought with the lady?"

"Okay, Sister Hui, I bought a few delicious foods, and you can try them too."

Ma turned around and took a look, "You two eat less glutinous rice cake, and you can't eat any more food after a while."

"knew."

The two girls sat in a row, and I ate snacks and snacks one by one, laughing and laughing very happily.

Most of the time, Zilan takes care of Shuhui. After all, Zilan is a little older and she is willing to play with Shuhui. It seems that when she was a child, she let go of all the pressure and doesn’t have to think about any problems. She is happy even if it’s fake.

Seeing the two children having fun, Ma also smiled and said to the old lady: "Lan'er is really obedient, sensible and likable. She is obviously a younger sister, Hui'er is older, but she takes care of Hui'er like a sister. She can't forget to bring a copy of Hui'er if she has anything to do."

"Yes, why would your sister always worry that she will be hurt if she is extremely smart? This child is too smart."

The old lady also smiled and said, "I had two walnuts in my hand. Zilan went to the antique shop on the street to pick a few, and brought two for my grandfather. The old man played with this plate of walnuts, which made him very flexible in his fingers.

"Indeed, she is not as good as Hui'er eating and sleeping soundly, not thinking about things, and thinking too much harms her body."

Ma also understood her sister-in-law's worries. If such a good girl is wrong, she will be very sad.

"Your father said it was not a big problem. This child is stable and has a generous personality. He is not that petty girl, so he can't say that."

The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled.

"That's great. To be honest, I like Lan'er very much. Sometimes Hui'er can't understand the lectures of the Master. She will tell her patiently. Hui'er said that Lan'er is more clear than the Master."

"Lan'er learns quickly, and Zhengtian treats her as a boy. The requirements are stricter. If you follow the right path, you won't be afraid that your child will be raising him in the future."

The old lady agreed with Zhengtian's attitude and way of education.

"The brother-in-law will teach the children."

"I also saw that a few children asked him to stare at him, but they were much better than their teachings. They would beat him at any time. How could that happen?"

The old lady disliked the two sons who taught their children too rudely, which was far less good than Zheng Tian’s temptation, and the rewards and punishments were clear.

Ma covered her mouth and laughed loudly. She didn't dare to comment, otherwise the man would scold her again when he knew about it, saying that her kind mother had lost her son.

The whole family came back for dinner. The three men drank two glasses of wine. It was the Huiquan wine brought back by Yang. The three of them had a happy chat.

The women were also talking about the shop, and the preparations were almost done. They could open it just after the decoration was ready.

Yang also needs to make some balm and cauliflower. These are very easy to sell when taken out, as well as common items such as hair oil.

"Mom, you can also get a good start if you make something that is not lead powder."

"Oh, yes, yes, I'll think about it."

Yang thought about it and nodded.

"But pollen is not as long-lasting as lead powder, and it is easy to make up."

Sister-in-law Xu also nodded.

"As long as the pollen is done well, this is not a big problem. Can you make makeup? Let's make a smaller box and make some cotton.

Do you still remember that when we came back, there were foreigners when we stopped at the port. I saw a woman with yellow hair, who took a box and patted her face with something in her hand."

Zilan learned a few times for them, and she was talking about modern powder, which can actually be made.

It’s just a matter of extra piece of powder puff, which can be replaced by silk cotton and cotton.

"Oh, I've seen it, thank you for remembering it."

Yang suddenly remembered that when they came back, they encountered ships from small overseas countries. The woman was tall and big, and she took this thing in her hand and patted it on her face. After the shot, it turned pale.

"What's so useful?"

Ma asked in confusion.

"I know, I know, I'll draw it for you."

Zi Lan put down the chopsticks, got off the floor and ran to the warm room to get her drawing board. Mu Xiang quickly went to grind her.

After a while, Lan finished drawing and handed it to her sister-in-law.

Xu took it and looked at it, "Oh! This is quite exquisite, what's the blank?"

She pointed to the round blank space on the box.

"A mirror, there is a mirror that looks at the face. That foreigner just sticks it in the box and then pounces on his face. It's so interesting."

Zi Lan didn't dare to say it clearly, but they did see it in foreigners at that time, otherwise they wouldn't dare to say it, but the things were very crude and they were real.

"Oh, it's really much more convenient to say this. I understand this picture clearly."
