Another coming-of-age.
Nalan Jinlian always felt that she had already come of age.
What a strange thought.
"Thank you, Mother, for taking the trouble for me!"
"Silly child, you're my daughter. If I don't do it for you, for whom?" Mrs. Xu said, all the while picking out many more items.
After buying the things, they went to a restaurant for a meal.
Mrs. Xu not only knew how to shop, she knew how to eat, too. Gently and lovingly, she taught Nalan Jinlian how to savor the flavors, giving her another lesson.
After the meal, the mother and daughter took a carriage back home.
Back to the Nalan Residence.
Mrs. Xu asked Nalan Jinlian to return to Lotus Garden to change her clothes. As they parted, she held Nalan Jinlian's hand, "Lianlian, how about I give you a little brother?"
"Yes!"
Without thinking, Nalan Jinlian agreed.
A brother, she should have a brother.
Fair-skinned and plump, very adorable.
A bit mischievous, but very nice to her and listens to her.
