Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 91 New Year's Eve (3)
Nanny Sun hurried forward and handed out a red envelope from her hand. Yuan Lu only gave her a grateful glance.Sister Xi took the red envelope and stepped back two steps generously.

Next, the servants came in to give New Year greetings to the old lady one by one. Before the old lady celebrated the New Year, she also asked someone to make a batch of silver pegs, which were specially used to reward people during the New Year. All kinds of tricks were no longer expensive. , but in the celebration of the New Year.Usually they are small ingots, small peanuts, small bells and the like.Big families are not eye-catching, but children from small families like it very much.

Although the Duke's Mansion has a simple population, there are quite a few servants, and after all the tossing and turning, it was noon.The children went out to play early in the morning, and in the end the old lady was tired from sitting, so Yuan Lu was here alone to meet the scene.

In the afternoon, Yuan Lu kindly gave some of the servants whose families were in the capital a day off, and asked them to go back for a reunion, while she took Grandma Sun to the warehouse to check the gifts that were going to be given to each household in a few days.Human relations in the capital are also a subject of knowledge, how many big and powerful families are ruined because of their courtesy but lack of communication.This point is a bit difficult for Yuan Lu, a foreigner, although she was somewhat knowledgeable in her previous life.But these things are not enough to see now.

Looking at the list of gifts now, I feel a bit difficult.The previous account books were all there, so she classified these gifts into several categories and staggered them, so that the gifts of the two companies were not in the same category, so it was naturally inconvenient to compare and negotiate prices.

In the evening, during the reunion dinner, Yuan Lu thought about eating fish during the Chinese New Year, so she helped the kitchen herself and made a dish of braised fish.It's just that no one has touched this dish since it was served.At first Yuan Lu thought it was because she was not good at cooking, but after thinking about it for a long time while frowning, she remembered that she had heard that in some places, the fish could not move during the Chinese New Year, which meant that there would be more than enough every year.Yuan Lu secretly smiled, but luckily she didn't poke the chopstick, if this kind of life upsets the old lady, it's unnecessary.

What's more, early this morning, the old lady deliberately nodded to brother Hong, which was equivalent to admitting her identity.

After dinner, it was time to watch the new year. Often, rich families called the opera troupe to come to sing opera. The old lady didn't like to make noise. Yuan Lu also asked if she wanted to call a lively opera, and finally she refused.

The servants prepared the tea and fruits, and heated up the stove in the living room.Yuan Lu specially asked someone to prepare a soft couch for the old lady, and several children sat around her.Suddenly there was a chi-chi sound from outside the wall, and large fireworks spread out in the distant sky, like pieces of colorful flowers, slowly falling in the night sky.

Yuan Lu was sitting there watching ecstasy, and suddenly felt that someone was pulling her sleeve, she raised her head, and saw Brother Che looking at her pitifully, and said, "Mother, can I set off fireworks with me? My brother said that Dad used to I will take him to release it when the time comes..." As he spoke, his head was already bowed down.

Yuan Lu reached out and rubbed his forehead, and said with a smile: "Then let's go out and let it go, shall we?"

Brother Hong was still a child after all, and he didn't have much resistance to these things. Seeing Yuan Lu leading Brother Che out, his eyes never left behind.

Yuan Lu didn't know why, so she glanced back in a strange way.Just as she was about to speak, the old lady over there spoke first: "Just take the three of them to play in the yard, don't run to the back garden, and carefully burn the top of the tree."

Only then did Yuan Lu respond, calling for her mother and maids to follow, and calling for a few servants to carry things and fireworks to the warehouse.
