"Your stepmother is really..." Bai Yinran frowned in disgust.

Cui knew about it, and because she took the dowry of her original wife, she looked down on this person.

Lan Xi is really unlucky, and she met such a person.

Chen Lanxi unscrewed the lid and smelled it: "Fortunately, the fragrance has not dissipated much, and it can be used barely."

Bai Yinran also came over to smell it: "What a pity, when it was the most intense, there were only two or three left."

As she said that, she turned her eyes again: "Are you going to sprinkle this fragrant powder on the painting?"

Chen Lanxi's heel: "Yes."

The fragrance of the orchids is dried and ground into powder is a light golden powder. On weekdays, it is used by noble ladies to decorate themselves.

But she thought it would be okay to use it to embellish the painting.

After re-covering the bottle cap, Chen Lanxi was about to get up.

But at this moment, Bai Yinran took out another thing from the box: "Lan Xi, what is this?"

What fell into her hands was a box.

The box is only the size of a palm. I don’t know what material it is made of, and it has strange shapes and is uneven.

It even makes people feel ugly at first glance.

This thing is probably ugly and worthless, so it was stuffed into the corner by the Cui family, mother and daughter who had searched for dowry.

If Bai Yinran hadn't had sharp eyes, Chen Lanxi wouldn't have noticed this box.

"I don't know either." Chen Lanxi recalled carefully and did not answer.

She really has no impression of this box.

When I was a child, my mother never showed it to her.

After looking at the other objects in this big box, Chen Lanxi guessed: "I guess it was some gadget left to my mother by my grandfather in the past?"

Most of this box of things are strange objects.

There are some things that are not very valuable but very memorable.

Chen Lanxi thought that this box was probably also a memory of his mother.

"So..." When Bai Yinran heard that it was something commemorative, she immediately did not dare to move again, and quickly put the box back in its original place.

The box was re-covered, and as soon as the iron lock fell, the box was locked into the dark cabinet again, without seeing the light of day.

Bai Yinran accompanied Chen Lanxi to paint for a while, took care of the fruits and vegetables in the backyard, and left at sunset.

Chen Lanxi, who had been busy all day, also kneaded his wrists and went for a meal.

She placed the bottle of Mulanxiang openly on the table and could see anyone who came.

...

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

June 27th is the New Year Festival to celebrate the emperor's longevity.

The dinner is scheduled at the beginning of Xu.

As soon as Mao Zheng passed, Bai Yinran held the hem of her skirt and ran to Chen Lanxi's house excitedly.

"Lanxi, have you dressed up?"

Chen Lanxi finally glanced at the bronze mirror and then put away his eyebrows and said, "Okay."

"It looks so good." Bai Yinran praised with a smile.

When someone walked up to her, she quickly grabbed Chen Lanxi's hand and said, "Let's hurry up, Shaoyao said my mother is waiting for us at the dinner."

Chen Lanxi followed her footsteps: "Go straight?"

Bai Yinran bent her eyes: "Don't worry, I've asked Concubine Ning in advance for instructions."

"That's good." Chen Lanxi looked slightly.

The two of them walked through the corridor and hurried to Qianqiu Pavilion.

Although they came early, many people in the pavilion gathered together to chat.

"My father and mother are there!" Bai Yinran found her family at a glance.

Chen Lanxi, who was following her pointing, saw several unexpected people surrounding her.
