Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 104 Juggling (2)
Not long after eating the food, people came to pay New Year's greetings one after another.Most of the people who came were the young generals and soldiers under the old Cheng Guogong's command. They didn't have any positions, but they took a job with an eighth or ninth rank.

Because Cheng Guogong was not around, it was very inconvenient for a house full of children and family members, so the wives of those people came.Although the people who came were all neatly dressed and clean-faced women, they looked older than their real age because their lives were not very comfortable.

Among them is a Mrs. Zhao, whose husband's family is the ninth-rank ambassador of the Ministry of War Association. He calls the old lady a sister, but she looks much older than the old lady.

Others of the younger generation, some around Yuan Lu's age, had already given birth to children, plump and round, sitting with her was like two generations.

These people are much more friendly than the wives in the palace, and they speak very casually, talking about some things in daily life.He is also holding the old lady and Yuan Lu everywhere.

The things they bring are even more interesting. They are all home-made pickles, beans, cabbage, etc., as well as braised pig ears, pork belly meat, and grass eggs.

Many people in it also know each other, and when they get together, they have endless things to say.

Not long after, Mrs. Gao Tian, ​​the wife of the right servant of the Ministry of War, also came.That style is much more particular, and the gifts are tea, cloth, inkstone, Langhao pen and so on. Although no names are given, they are all in line with the family's preferences.

It's just that even though the things she sent were carefully prepared, the old lady really hated her to the extreme, and never looked at her directly since he entered the door.

Although the two of them belong to the same generation, the old lady's order is much higher than hers, and the master of Gaotian family was drawn by Cheng Guogong. When she met the old lady for the first time, she was just an ordinary peasant woman, wearing coarse cloth. Clothes, mud from nails haven't been cleaned yet.

Therefore, although Mrs. Takada said what he said at home, he didn't even have the confidence to talk and laugh loudly in front of the old lady.

In contrast, the wives of those little-known officials, although the old lady said before that these are not important people, but Yuan Lu could see that the old lady was really happy to them, and said to those women Some previous things, and then exchange a respective parenting experience.For a while, you come and go, so happy.

Gao Tian was very embarrassed sitting aside, the old lady and Yuan Lu ignored her, and she also looked down on other women.After drinking two cups of tea, he got up and said goodbye.

The others kept chatting until noon, and Yuan Lu was thinking of asking people to prepare more meals, but they left one after another consciously.

The old lady did not stay either.After they left, the old lady said: "They still have a big family waiting for them to go back to cook, even if they stay for dinner, they will feel uneasy."

All of the people in this room disappeared at once, and the house seemed deserted again.

...That's right, the population in this mansion is a little thinner after all.The old lady's only son is still on the battlefield.

Perhaps the old lady lost interest after hearing too much of the warm and trivial things about the women's parents.He put down the chopsticks without moving a few times.

Yuan Lu saw that she was not very happy, so she said: "Otherwise, find some people to perform, either juggling or singing, it depends on which one you like."

The old lady likes to listen to opera, but she thinks that it is Chinese New Year after all, and no opera troupe is willing to come.

Yuan Lu said: "Why not? I have already sent someone to inquire. Except for New Year's Eve and the first two days of the first day, the theater troupe is singing on other days. It's just that many people will invite the theater troupe to go. I asked someone to arrange it years ago. Well, it’s only three days from the third day to the fifth day.”
