How can I always be treated as a woman

In the Lan family, it seems that the division of labor between men and women has been reversed.The old lady of the Lan family's natal family is a military and political family. The grandfather of the old lady Lan fought with the Red Army in the early years and survived the civil war. The power has even risen to a higher level.In the capital, if a brick falls, it will hit an official's place, and there are countless ones, but they found a "cook" like the old man of the Lan family!

Lan Xin was influenced by the old lady since she was a child, and she also followed the route of a strong woman, so she didn't even get married at all!Lan Wanhua is very much like the old man of the Lan family, he likes to play with money, move the kitchen knife when entering the house, and inherit the family banquet of Lan Mansion, which can be regarded as inheriting his father's business.

Mr. Lan has no objection to Lan Wanhua's finding a male wife. His eldest son has always been very assertive, and once he makes a decision, he will not change it easily.

Back then when Lan Wanhua was a young and vigorous young man, it was a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet on August 1th. In front of the whole family, Lan Wanhua suddenly came out of the closet, and the old lady was so angry that she almost recited it gas.The iron-blooded old lady Lan waved her hand and sent her to a mental hospital.Being tied to the bed for a month as mentally ill, Lan Wanhua insisted on not changing her words. Since then, the old lady Lan has never cared about Lan Wanhua's emotional affairs.After so many years, Lan Wanhua came home two days ago and suddenly revealed that he has someone he likes, isn't it curious?

Lan Chengchi took the lead and first came to investigate the enemy's situation, and then Lan Xin came to act as a messenger, and the next step was to bring him to the second elder.

"Will Jing Xing go?" Lan Xin smiled and asked Jing Xing who had finally recovered and just started drinking bird's nest porridge.

Jing Xing nodded helplessly, thinking that the Lan family is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Sister Lan, who had achieved her goal and filled her stomach, didn't stay any longer, and bid farewell to the two of them after sitting for a while and left.

After sending Lan Xin off, Lan Wanhua hugged Jing Xing and sat on the sofa, saying: "If you don't want to go, I can explain to the old man and old lady."

"No need." Jing Xing looked at Lan Wanhua, shook his head, and said, "I will go."

In the current situation, unless he doesn't want to continue to associate with Lan Wanhua, he must see the side of Lan Wanhua's parents.The reason for his hesitation before was simply that he felt that he had only been dating Lan Wanhua for less than a month, so it was a bit quick to see his parents so soon.It's just that since the parents of the Lan family sent two groups of people to come and invite them again after reading it, if they don't agree, they will definitely make things difficult for Lan Wanhua.

Lan Wanhua looked at Jing Xing for a long time, then finally hugged him tightly and said, "Thank you."

Lan Wanhua and Jingjing agreed on a time, and immediately called her parents and made an appointment for a weekend visit.Afterwards, Lan Wanhua hurried out of the door to deal with the backlog of official duties due to absenteeism yesterday, while Jing Xing took a car to the cultural market and went around to prepare a meeting gift for the two old people.

After looking around, there was no suitable gift, Jing Xing thought to himself that the Lan family is very rich, no matter how precious things are, no matter how precious they are, so it's fine to give some items made by himself as a gift, if it's not rude!

A 10-inch folding fan for Grandpa Lan: Jing Xing hand-painted a freehand picture of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers on the front, and the words "Spring Snow in Qinyuan" in running script on the back, with red rosewood carved pine branches, looks very atmospheric.

A silk embroidered clutch bag, sent to the old lady Lan: the base is bright red silk, with Suzhou embroidered peonies and golden pheasants, and the white velvet is the lining.

It took Jing Xing five days to paint the fan, frame it, and embroider and sew the handbag. On the night before visiting Lan's house, Jing Xing packed the fan in a brocade box and breathed a sigh of relief. Finished by the weekend.

"So nervous?" Lan Wanhua walked behind Jing Xing, looked at Jing Xing's solemn appearance, and smiled lightly.

"It's not good to be rude in front of the elders." Jing Xingdao, there was still a little nervousness in his tone.

"It's just a family banquet, so there's no need for such a serious matter." Lan Wanhua kissed Jing Xing lightly on the cheek as if comforting, the more Jing Xing paid attention to his parents, the more he loved himself, Lan Wanhua was very happy move.

Taking Jing Xing's just-finished embroidery clutch in his hand and looking carefully, Lan Wanhua said with a smile: "I never knew before that Jing Xing actually has such craftsmanship."

"Don't laugh at me!" Jing Xing smiled wryly, if it wasn't for giving old lady Lan a gift, he wouldn't even want to take a needle and thread.

"No, I'm sincere!" Lan Wanhua held the bag in front of her eyes and observed it carefully, and said, "There are many techniques that professional embroiderers may not necessarily know."

Just like the double-sided embroidery at the opening, it looks auspicious on the outside but turbulent on the inside.

"My mother will definitely like it." Lan Wanhua affirmed Jing Xing's efforts and wanted to give him a little more confidence.

"I hope!" Jing Xing said, rubbing his red eyes, and put the two gifts into the exquisite box prepared by Lan Wanhua.Everything is ready, just wait for tomorrow!

The next morning.

He made an appointment with Lu's parents to put it up at 10 am, but Jing Xing was scooped up from the bed by Lan Wanhua early on, and in a daze he let the invited stylist carefully dress him up.At 5:[-] in the morning, Lan Xin tipped off the news, saying that the Lan family's parents had invited many friends on a whim, and the family banquet suddenly turned into a banquet, and it was necessary to be more cautious when dressing.

Although he was a little surprised by his parents' sudden decision, Lan Wanhua also wanted to introduce Jing Xing to his relatives and friends in his own heart.With the witness of his parents, disclosing Jing Xing's ownership will make it easier for people in the circle to recognize Jing Xing's identity.In this way, there will be fewer people secretly coveting Jing Xing, and when he can't take care of him, he can ask his relatives and friends to take care of him.

Because it was a sudden notification and it was too late to order clothes, Lan Wanhua opened the cloakroom for the two of them to be chosen by a stylist.

Lan Wanhua's style has always been very definite. Her hair fixed neatly by hairspray, houndstooth suit jacket, vest, gray suit pants and black shirt, every part of her body has been handled just right, like a woman from the Republic of China period. gentleman.

Jing Xing's side was much more complicated. He tried on no less than ten sets of clothes upside down.It was Lan Wanhua who couldn't stand it anymore and gave the stylist a reference, which saved Jing Xing from the fire.

A head of black smooth long hair was tied behind the head with a black headband with metallic luster.A black silk shirt with a collar and slightly thick wide-leg suit pants, covered with a knee-length windbreaker made of hard silk fabric. A black suit looks very slender, and the collarbone is faintly visible under the collar. The whole dress is conservative but sexy, and will not be too publicized The elders hate it, and they will not be too conservative to be dismissed by their peers and have no taste.Because Jing Xing itself had a faint body fragrance, the stylist did not insist on spraying Jing Xing with perfume.After the styling was over, the stylist dressed like a woman raised her orchid fingers and repeatedly praised Jing Xing who had never seen such a perfect person, with a golden ratio, and any modification on a face would feel so superfluous.If it wasn't for Lan Wanhua watching from the side, I believe the stylist would have stepped forward to persuade Jing Xing to be his exclusive model!Of course, the stylist only dared to think about it in his heart. It was impossible for people from a family like the Lan family to let someone do such a publicity job.

It's really a pity the more I look at it... The stylist looked at Jing Xing repeatedly and thought, how could he endure those imperfect models when he went back?

Carrying the gift, Jing Xing followed Lan Wanhua into the car, and then he recovered, and asked a little strangely: "Isn't it just a family banquet? Why do you have to dress so formally?"

"Lan Xin called this morning to say that my parents have invited some relatives and friends who are close to me to visit." Lan Wanhua was driving the car and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe I want to take this opportunity to introduce you to relatives and friends !"

That's why Lan Wanhua took Jing Xing to his parents' house an hour earlier to check the situation. The banquet was planned to start at ten o'clock, and now it is 8:[-] in the morning.

"The guests will arrive one after another around 10 o'clock. Let's go a little earlier to find out what my parents say." Lan Wanhua explained to Jing Xing that the so-called knowing yourself and the enemy can win a hundred battles. sub-spirit.

In fact, the Lan family's parents did not make this decision on a whim. Originally, they were worried about Jing Xing's character and wanted to meet alone first to see if it was true. If it was suitable, they would introduce it to relatives and friends; For the sake of liking, let the young couple live a life of two people, and no longer have to flaunt around and cause gossip!

But ever since the eldest daughter, who is very accurate at seeing people, came home and praised them greatly, the hearts of the two old people fell to the ground. Then they remembered that Zhang Luo was organizing a banquet, and the daughter-in-law came to the house for the first time. Come on, it should be lively!

At 8:50, Jing Xing and Lan Wanhua arrived at Lan Zhai. The small courtyard of the villa, which is usually a bit simple, has obviously been decorated today. Red wine and meals are placed under the shade of the trees in the garden. There are piles here and there. A cluster of white wrought iron tables and chairs were placed, and flowers in full bloom were carefully arranged on each table. At this time, the guests had not arrived, and the servants of the Lan family were busy with the final finishing touches.

After getting off the car, Lan Wanhua took Jing Xing's arm and asked him to hold her own. Along the way, servants kept stopping to greet the two of them.

When the two of them entered, Lan Xin was sitting in the living room drinking tea with Papa Lu.Seeing the two people approaching, Lan Xin stood up, pulled Jing Xing away from Lan Wanhua, and said, "Oh, didn't you say you didn't arrive until 10 o'clock? Why did you come at 9 o'clock? It's really not your style!"

Turning around again, he said to Lan's father, "Dad! This is Jing Xing, isn't he good looking? I said it's a waste to match Wanhua!"

Jing Xing was a little uncomfortable being held by Lan Xin's arm, and he couldn't forcefully pull his arm out, so he could only turn his attention to Lan's father.I have to say that Papa Lan and Lan Wanhua are worthy of being father and son. The temperament of the two seems to be carved out of the same mold. The old man with gold-rimmed glasses is smiling at Jing Xing on the sofa, holding a piece of mahogany in his hand crutches, much like a justice of the peace with a civilized stick in his hand.

Jing Xing stood about 1 meter away from Papa Lan, handed the present to Papa Lan respectfully with both hands, and said:

"Hi Uncle! I'm Jing Xing. This is a little gift I made myself, I hope you like it."

"Come on, come on, what gift do you bring!" Papa Lan took the gift, "You're welcome, sit down!"

Warmly calling Jing Xing to sit down, Papa Lan opened the gift from Jing Xing face to face.

Holding the folding fan in his hand, Papa Lan took a closer look at the painter, obviously an expert in connoisseurship, he looked at it repeatedly for a long time, and then said to Jing Xing: "It's been a long time since I saw such a delicate object! Those masters are impatient To paint these things, you need a picture of Dou Fang to be hung in the lobby. It doesn’t count if you spend money, and you have to ask for it three times. You have to make people look at you! Did you draw this yourself? What a talent! Lan Xin said Yes, following Wanhua is really a flower stuck in cow dung!"

"Dad! Did you say that about your own son?" Lan Wanhua was very helpless at his father's behavior of stepping on him in order to praise his daughter-in-law.

"Are you still here?" Papa Lan picked up the clutch bag beside him as if he had just discovered his son, handed it to Lan Wanhua, and said, "What are you doing here with us? Go find your mother in the study Go! Take the gift from Jing Xing to your mother along the way! It happens to be going abroad in two days, so it’s just right to take it with you to show the cultural characteristics of the motherland!"

Lan Wanhua heard the words, and knew that his father wanted him to go to his mother's place to make a stop first, so as to save the old lady from showing Jing Xing's face later.The old lady has some traditional Chinese thinking. The so-called "There are three types of unfilial piety, and no offspring is the greatest." Three or four years ago, the eldest daughter suddenly declared that she would never get married in her life. Now that her son has found a male wife, why not let her The old lady is upset!Although the eldest daughter said that the technology is now advanced, the child can go abroad as a surrogate, and it’s okay to find a male wife!But why the imperial court explicitly prohibits surrogacy now, it must be because of Yu Lunchang's hindrance!Mother Lan still hopes from the bottom of her heart that her son can get married and have children normally.

Handing Jing Xing a reassuring look, Lan Wanhua picked up her handbag and went upstairs to find Mother Lan.Father Lan is a man of profound knowledge, and when he heard that Jing Xing was a student of the Department of Literature, he and Jing Xing talked about Tang Zong and Song Zu from Qinhuang, Hanwu, and Songzu. I confessed to myself.
