Author: That sour sugar

The eldest wife said: "The old lady will come here today. We will have a meal together at noon and meet the old lady together."

Chen Fan agreed and returned to Lanxiangyuan with Xiaohe.

She asked Xiaohe to find a better-looking box, which was slightly higher than the one in the bracelet. When Xiaohe left, she began to check the small jade and wooden blocks.

I counted the numbers, there were quite a lot, forty or fifty. But all of them could not be given out. Even though the pants she wore that day were loose, it didn't seem like she could tie a lot of things on her legs but couldn't tell.

If you can’t tell the value of a small bead, it’s better not to give it. You don’t know who likes it. Don’t give it any controversy. Huaishan’s words make a lot of sense.

Chen Fan picked a piece of green and transparent jade and a piece of white jade that was as delicate as cream. These two things were not small, and it was okay to cut them into a few small jade pendants.

Which one should I give? Or two?

She held the jade in both hands, held it for a while, then exchanged it for a while, and felt the warmth of the white jade.

Just give this piece, warm jade will make people feel a little more comfortable.

After thinking about giving gifts, Chen Fan started writing. I don’t know how it was going on in Shengping County, so no one came to gossip.

Xiaohe brought two boxes and left again. These two maids were very busy working part-time.

Chen Fan put the jade into two boxes and tried it. He chose a velvet one and continued to write.

At about ten o'clock, Huaishan came over and said that her grandmother had arrived.

Chen Fan followed Huaishan to Cixinyuan where the old lady lived. Along the way, Huaishan told her about the big things outside the North City Gate, and she felt relieved.

There are already many people sitting in the room. Several are sitting in armchairs, and most are sitting on square stools.

Chen Fan saw an old lady with kind eyes. The eldest lady began to introduce: "Mom, this is my distant niece. Girl, this is the old lady."

Chen Fan kowtowed to the old lady solemnly and called out to grandmother. She followed Huaishan's name and didn't want to think about other titles.

The old lady helped Chen Fan up: "This child looks so beautiful and so likable." The old lady said, and took out a bracelet, "There are no good things for farming, this bracelet is not a rare thing, kid, don't

dislike."

Oh, it's another bracelet. Aunt Zhang gave one before, but she didn't know if she wanted to wear it. The old lady gave another bracelet, but she didn't know if she wanted to wear it. In addition to wearing a watch, she also

I've never worn any bracelets or bracelets.

Chen Fan handed the box with both hands: "Grandma, I don't have much stuff on me. This thing can only express my feelings. I hope my grandma will not dislike it."

The old lady didn't answer: "You kid, I'm very happy to call me grandmother. How can I ask for your stuff? Get it done quickly."

Chen Fan sincerely hopes that she can accept it readily. She held the box and said another round. The old lady finally took the box: "This thing has been protected by you, it's really hard for you. Since it's your filial piety, I'll take it first.

I will keep it for you and I will give you a dowry in the future."

Why does this mean a little like "I will keep the New Year's money for you and I will use it for you to study in the future."

The old lady introduced to her one by one: "This is the eldest daughter-in-law, this is the second daughter-in-law... This is the fifth girl, this is the sixth girl." Chen Fan then shouted: "Sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law... The fifth sister, the sixth sister.

”

Fortunately, these women didn't give her gifts, so she didn't have to receive gifts one by one.

She only called her sister-in-law eleven times. Aunt Zhang's three sons were not married. The eldest wife's son was only sixteen years old, and there were two younger children, seven and five years old.

Next, the old lady introduced six concubines, and Chen Fan greeted them one by one.

Next, there were a group of younger generations of children. Eleven boys and girls were chattering and shouting at my aunt, which was very lively.

After chatting in the room for a while, a group of people walked towards Songfengyuan in a mighty manner.

It was a spacious Chateau room with several round tables, like a banquet hall.

The old lady asked everyone to sit down. Chen Fan sat on this table with three elders, Huaishan and her, who were quite wealthy. Five legitimate sons and daughters-in-law sat on the table with seven grandchildren, and six concubines.

The wife took four grandchildren to sit at the table, all of which were full. Chen Fan found that the six concubines were also sitting at the table, and did not stand or leave. They sat with the fifth and sixth girls, two concubines.

There was a table, but it was not crowded.

The woman and the child sat at four tables, which was so lively. Fifty-six people, the Liu family was really not an ordinary population.

Not long after sitting down, a group of men came in. Except for the old lady, everyone stood up one after another, and there were all kinds of titles such as "master", "father" and "grandfather". Chen Fan naturally stood up and called "master".

The old lady introduced to Chen Fan one by one: "This is your eldest brother, this is your second brother... This is your sixteenth brother, this is your seventeenth brother. There are seven more brothers who are not here, and they go to serve in the military.

Now.”

Seven people served in the military! This proportion is really large. How many troops does the Great Xiang Dynasty need?

Sixteen-year-old Liu Huaijin bowed to Chen Fan: "I saw the words written by my sister that day. I admired them very much and kept asking my sister for advice. I wonder if my sister is willing?"

Chen Fan smiled: "Brother praised me, my handwriting was also copied by the teacher. If my brother doesn't dislike me, I should be willing to study and communicate with me."

Liu Huaijin smiled and clasped her fists to thank him.

Liu Shier then spoke: "Are you interested in going to our martial arts training ground to have fun?"

There is also a martial arts training ground? Chen Fan's eyes lit up.

"Listen to him." Liu Huairong said, "It's just that there is an open space in the yard where the boys live. They call that open space a martial arts training ground. This is what the family said in their own close door."

After that, he glared at Liu Shier. Liu Shier shrank his neck.

It seems that this martial arts training ground is not something that anyone can have.

The old lady said: "Everyone is here today. Remember that some words cannot be said casually. At home, you should also pay attention. If you are used to speaking, you will inevitably be out of control."

Everyone said yes. Chen Fan was surprised again. The rules were quite strict.

When the men came over, the eight-year-old grandson stood up and sat down to the man. He sat down at two tables with a generous seat.

The food of the Liu family is very particular. The color of fried loofah with eggs is very clear, and the golden and green contrast is very attractive. The fried vegetables and fried beans are also very good. I didn’t feel greasy when I drank old hen soup in the summer.

There is also a fragrance. Steamed fish is covered with lotus leaves, and the pork is cut into shredded meat or sliced ​​meat and served with many dishes. However, she didn't see braised pork braised fish braised chicken. Is it the Liu family doesn't like braised, or is it the Daxiang Chaodu

Don't like braised?

Chen Fan was thinking, if he would go to the kitchen to make braised pork braised fish? But she didn't know if it could be delicious, she hadn't learned about the seasonings here yet.

The Liu family did not have any rules of not talking about food, and each table was eating and chatting. The old lady asked Chen Fan about food and accommodation, and Chen Fan chatted with her.

"Let's go on the street in the afternoon?" Huaishan looked at Chen Fan.

"Okay." She agreed happily. She had been in the city for three days and had not been shopping yet.

After the nap, Xiaohe came with Huaishan and Daosui. The two maids each wore a bag cross-body, which looked like modern people carrying a cross-body bag!
