Daming female local tyrant

Jinglan was lucky, the second day was Qixi Festival, and she and her other Lu family girls only had half a day of class. After lunch, Master Wan, who taught embroidery female red, said after they entered the embroidery room: "The old ancestor As I said, today is Qixi Festival, I will let you off for half a day in the afternoon."

Everyone looked happy when they heard this, and so did Jing Lan.

She disliked Master Wan's embroidery class the least, and it would be best if she didn't take it.Also, the butterfly Guoer embroidered for her yesterday didn't have to worry about being inspected by Master Wan, which made her feel a little more relaxed.

After Master Wan said he would be on holiday for half a day and left the embroidery room, the Fourth Miss Xiulan came over and invited Jinglan to play together in the afternoon.

Jing Lan asked her what she wanted to do.

Before Xiulan could say anything, Master Wan, who had just walked out of the embroidery room, came back again. She said that she forgot to mention one thing just now, that is, the old ancestor asked the ladies of the third branch of the Lu family to go back and change their clothes After a short rest, I went to her place to have tea and talk with her.In the evening, their parents would go to Fuhai Hall to have dinner with their ancestors.After the meal, the ladies of the Lu family will go to the back garden to beg for cleverness, and it will be considered a festival if it is as lively as in previous years.

After saying these words, Master Wan went out again and never came back.

Jing Lan couldn't help asking Xiulan how lively the Lu family celebrated the Qixi Festival in previous years.

Xiulan said that at that time, the ancestors and the ladies of each room will participate, especially the girls in the room will have to change into new clothes and compete with the sisters.

"Douqiao?"

"It's threading, paper-cutting, embroidery, let's see who is handy. The ancestors who are handy and the wives and wives of each house will all be rewarded."

Jing Lan recalled that the women of Lu's family gave rewards by pulling out the golden hairpins from their heads, or taking off the bracelets on their hands to reward others.A few days ago, the ancestor Kao Jinglan asked her to cook, and she got a big red gold bracelet.If all the wives of the Lu family were rewarded, then the Qiqiao Festival would be valued by those concubines.After all, apart from the ten taels of monthly silver, they don't have much income.

Their mothers are aunts, unlike the main house wives who have such private money that they can stuff their daughters with.Just like Xiulan and Shulan, it is definitely not enough for them to spend the monthly money given to them by Lu's father-in-law every month, and their mother will give them money in private.

After listening to Xiulan's words now, Jing Lan knew that she would definitely not be rewarded, because the other Miss Lu family must be much better than her in threading, paper-cutting, embroidery, etc.

As for her, she just participated with the mentality of going to play.

Qingyao and Ming'er walked in at this time, and they also heard about the old ancestor asking Master Wan to give the Miss Lu family a half-day holiday, and asked the Miss Lu family to go to Fuhaitang for tea.

When the two came over, they asked Jing Lan to go back and change her clothes, and to change into new ones, so that they could go to Fu Hai Tang later.

Xiulan's maid also came in, and also asked her to go back and change into a new dress.

She made an appointment with Jing Lan for a while, and they each took their maids back to the house.

After returning to the house, Jing Lan asked them to find a new dress made when she was still in Shen's house. Shen Wan picked out the material for her. The lotus-colored dress matched her complexion very well. , I didn't even wear it once, so I came to Lu's house.

Today's Qixi Festival, Jing Lan will inevitably think of Shen Wan, although they only got together yesterday, but today is the day when two lovers in the world express their affection for each other and talk about love together.

Jing Lan thought about Shen Wan in her heart, and felt that since she was not together on the day, it would be a good idea to ask the daughter-in-law, who is the most skilled needleworker in the Shen family, to make her a new dress made of the material that Shen Wan personally chose for her. A kind of consolation.

This new dress fits better than Shu Lan's dress that her stepmother Qi found for her. After Jing Lan put it on, Qing Yao and the others felt their eyes brightened, and they all praised her for being so beautiful, that she could be called "Lu Yu". The most beautiful lady in the house.

"Okay, stop flattering me, Guo'er and Ming'er guard the house, Qingyao and Qingluo follow me to the ancestor's place." Jing Lan waved her hands and smiled.

"Yes." The four servant girls answered in unison.

When Jing Lan arrived at Fuhai Hall, she could hear bursts of laughter coming from the hall, besides the delicate laughter of the ladies, there were also the clear laughter of the young men.

Huh?Who are the people inside?

After hearing this, Qing Yao, who was by Jing Lan's side, said to Jing Lan, "I think the ancestors invited the young masters from each house."

Jing Lan said: "Today is Qixi Festival, what does it have to do with them?"

Qing Yao: "Miss, it's hard to forget that after the girl returned to Lu's house, the ancestor said that he would pick a day for the young masters and ladies from each house to get together and get acquainted with you. The servant thinks, the ancestor invited Lu today. The young masters from each house must come for the girl."

When she said this, Jing Lan also remembered what her ancestors said back then, and felt that it was probably the case.

When she walked to the main hall of Fuhai Hall, one of the maids guarding outside raised the curtain, and the other one went in and reported to Mrs. Feng who was sitting on a red sandalwood arhat couch in the hall that Miss Jing Lan had arrived.

Feng happily asked someone to bring her in quickly, and then said to the great-grandchildren sitting in the hall: "Alan is here, you can meet her."

As soon as the words were finished, Jing Lan walked in, and when she looked up, she saw her ancestor sitting on the couch in the middle, and on the armchair on her left were several teenagers including her younger brother Cheng Ze, and a child.Jilan, Yulan, Xiulan, and Yilan are sitting on the armchair on the right, but Shulan is not there, and Shulan is still behind her.

The ladies of the Lu family, Jing Lan has been dealing with them for several days, so of course they are familiar with each other.

After they saw Jing Lan coming in, they all stood up and saluted her elder sister, and Jing Lan returned the salute before they sat down.

As for the other teenagers and one child, Mrs. Feng personally introduced them to her.

Mrs. Feng said that although today is Qixi Festival, which is a day for women to beg for luck, she asked Master Wan to give the great-grandchildren a half-day vacation, but she later thought, why not take advantage of this day to ask the great-grandchildren to rest for half a day, brothers and sisters Let's get together.Especially when Jing Lan returned to Lu's house, the great-grandchildren in each house hadn't seen her yet, so she decided to ask people to go to the school where the great-grandchildren went to school, and asked her husband to give them a half-day vacation.

When Jing Lan heard it, it was indeed similar to what Qing Yao said just now. It seemed that the maid who had served the ancestor for several years understood the ancestor's mind very well.

"Alan, come to meet your elder brother and second brother. This is your elder brother Cheng Dong, the eldest son of your uncle and aunt, and the shorter one is your second brother Cheng Liang..." Feng Shi first pointed to his left hand and started The young man on the first two chairs said.

Jing Lan knew that the elder brother and the second elder brother introduced by her ancestors were the grandsons of the grand uncle of Changfang. One of them was one year older than herself, and the other was a few months older than herself.I heard that the eldest brother Chengdong is engaged and will get married after the new year.

These two brothers are usually more proud because they are the eldest sons.Especially the eldest brother Chengdong, who will probably be the head of the Lu family in the future, so he is more arrogant than his brother.Although I haven't heard of them doing bad things, they are quite arrogant in front of their brothers and sisters.

A few days ago, Lu Chengdong and Lu Chengliang knew that a daughter of the second wife who had been homeless for more than ten years had returned. They had never seen her before, so they thought she must be a vulgar woman from the countryside.Behind their backs, they discussed to themselves, wondering why the ancestor asked someone to pick up such a woman who made the Lu family feel ashamed and go home.

However, when they saw Jing Lan at this moment, they were secretly surprised, because Jing Lan was really outstanding, her appearance was first-class beauty, and her gestures and gestures were not petty and generous.Especially today, Jing Lan wore a lotus-colored dress, which made her skin like fresh snow and hair like crow's feathers, compared with all the young ladies of the Lu family in the hall.

So the contempt the two of them had towards Jing Lan before disappeared without a trace, not to mention that Jing Lan is Cheng Ze's older sister, and Cheng Ze is now in the Lu family, and even their father and grandfather have to be treated politely, so they all Instead of being arrogant in the past, after Jing Lan saluted them, she returned the salute and called her: "Sister."

Feng then introduced the Fourth Young Master Lu Chenglin to Jing Lan. This Lu Chenglin was the older brother of the Fourth Miss Lu Xiulan who had a good time with Jing Lan.

Because they are brothers and sisters, the eyebrows and eyes of the two are very similar, and Lu Chenglin's temperament is also very bright like his sister, but because he is a man, he should be more stable.

He stood up, cupped his fists and bowed to Jing Lan, and then called Jing Lan loudly: "Eldest sister."

Jing Lan smiled slightly and replied, "Fourth brother."

As for Cheng Ze and Cheng Yuan, there is no need for Feng to introduce them.

In the end, she called the sixth young master Lu Chenglong and the seventh young master Lu Chenghao from the third room to meet Jing Lan.

Lu Chenglong and Lu Chenghao are brothers, one is 11 years old and the other is eight years old.

They are quite stocky, their faces are slightly round like Fifth Miss Lu Yilan.No wonder, all three of them were born by the same mother, and they all looked like their mothers.

Just as Lu Chenglong and Lu Chenghao were about to salute Jing Lan, the curtain at the entrance of the hall was raised, and a well-dressed Shu Lan walked in.

After saluting the old ancestor sitting in the hall, she hurried to her seat and sat down.

That's the second chair from the left.

The juniors of the Lu family stood or sat according to their age no matter which elder they were in front of.

After Shu Lan sat down, Lu Chenglong and Lu Chenghao saluted Jing Lan, and then respectfully called her: "Elder Sister."

Jing Lan called them the sixth and seventh brothers.

Lu Chenglong and Lu Chenghao straightened up immediately, glanced casually at Shu Lan, and asked Jing Lan, the eldest sister, to take the first seat.

A few days ago, Jing Lan had just gone to Lu's Girls' School. Fifth Miss Lu Yilan had a fight with Shu Lan because she ridiculed Shu Lan for being thick-skinned and sitting in the seat that should have been left out of the way, and was later punished for copying books.

After she went back, she often talked about this with her elder brother and younger brother. After hearing this, Lu Chenglan and Lu Chenghao were of course on her side, thinking that they would vent their anger for Yilan when the time came.

Now the opportunity came, of course they wanted to seize it, they just wanted to call out to the elder sister, loudly and respectfully, just to make Shulan angry.

On the second day after Shulan and Yilan had a fight, Mr. Hu asked Jinglan to sit where Shulan was sitting at first, emphasizing the order of the old and the young.

Shu Lan gave up her seat and was unhappy for several days. It was her mother who bought her the jewelry and rouge that she had long admired, which coaxed her to smile.

At this moment, she also saw the eyes of the Sixth Young Master and the Seventh Young Master, and when she heard them calling Sister Jinglan loudly, she really got angry again.
