Chapter 31: Laba
Not only the county lord of Ning'an, but also many young ladies that Gao Linhua didn't know handed her greetings or invitations, and she wondered if she should pick a few important young ladies to meet, but was stopped by Mama Lu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"How many people do you know when you come to Jingshi? This invitation is just for me, and there is nothing good to see. ”
Therefore, Gao Linhua honestly locked up at home for three months until the beginning of the month.
Although the affairs in the courtyard are all under the care of Mama Qin, but Laba Congee, Mama Lu asked for this errand and wanted to do it herself.
"On the day of Laba, all the related people's families have to deliver Laba porridge, especially some high-door mansions, which are indispensable."
And those people all know that Mama Lu is here with her, and she can taste the taste of Laba porridge.
Seeing that Mama Lu took Chunlan and Qiulan to pick lotus rice, lilies, barley, red beans and black beans a few days in advance, and carefully selected rice, millet, corn stubble, etc., washed, soaked and boiled, and was busy.
"It's hard to be grandma."
In the past, Mama Lu used to cook porridge for the nobles in the palace, but now she is boiling it for her, which is really overkill.
But Mama Lu used to cook porridge well, and many eunuchs had been rewarded in their families, and they knew what it tasted like, so Mama Lu had to cook it herself.
"It's not difficult, as long as the young lady asks for this, it's worth it."
As he was talking, Fleur came to report that Gao Linzhen was leading someone over.
Gao Linhua's brows furrowed, why did she suddenly come here?
Since the Wang family knew that she had been taught by Mama Lu, the Wang family begged Gao Jingsheng to invite Gao Linyu as well.
Gao Jingsheng found a lot of people, so he found a suitable grandmother to send to Gao Linmao.
With Mama Jiaoxi watching, Gao Linyu is no longer free to go out, and naturally there are fewer comes.
But even so, Gao Linhua will not pay attention to Gao Linhua every time, she can do whatever she wants, anyway, Gao Linhua does not participate.
"Sister, I heard that this year's New Year, we are going to go home to spend it together, sister, have you ever gone back?"
Gao Linhua's eyes flashed, in fact, since she knew that she was going to come to Beijing, she knew that they would definitely go back to Gao's house for the New Year.
However, the Gao family, she didn't want to go back.
Not only because her mother died in the Gao family's old mansion, but also because of other things.
"I've never been back, I don't know if my grandmother will like me."
She was used to Gao Linhua's indifference, and she didn't wait for Gao Linhua to speak, she sat honestly in the chair and whispered.
Gao Linhua clenched his fists, "If you want to ask about your grandmother, just go to your father, when I went to Changzhou Mansion, I was also very young, where do I remember those?" ”
Gao Linyu looked at Gao Linhua in shock, it was so amazing that her sister actually took care of her.
"Sister, what are you so excited about? I'm just a little worried. ”
Gao Linhua no longer paid attention to Gao Linhua, walked to the desk, let Han Lian study the ink, and began to practice calligraphy.
Mama Lu said that reading to cultivate temperament, practicing words to cultivate temperament, and doing these two things well, will be stronger than many people.
In the end, it was Mama Lu who used two large bowls of laba porridge to persuade Gao Linyu away.
"Miss doesn't like Second Miss, so don't let Second Miss come over in the future."
Gao Linhua smiled bitterly, the person she didn't want to see the most was Gao Linling, but no matter how much she hated, Gao Linling was her own sister, and it was not easy to keep Gao Linling from coming.
When Mama Lu saw Gao Linhua like that, she knew what she was worried about, and mentioned,
"The second lady is so cute, she can always be loved by Mrs. Gao."
Gao Linhua was surprised, yes, why didn't she think of it?
It used to be far away, but now it is close, and Mrs. Gao raised her little granddaughter by her side, which is the grace of the elders, and it is unavoidable.
"Thank you Mama for the mention, I know what to do."
She is extremely reluctant to go back for the New Year, but if she can leave Gao Linling there, no matter how difficult it is, she will have to go back.
On the day of Laba, Gao Linhua asked Mama Lu to divide the porridge early in the morning and send it to the Wang family.
She is still young, and this laba porridge still needs to be sent out by the Wang family.
Gao Linhua didn't know much about which people the Wang family wanted to send, she just registered the people she wanted to send to the Wang family.
Uncle Mansion, Fan family, this is needless to mention. The Weiguo Mansion, King Kang's Mansion, Zheng Mansion, and other people who handed over posts to Gao Linhua naturally did not leave any of them behind.
"Mama, why don't you send one to Wu Gongzi alone."
Wu Siqi did not agree to be her Xixi, and with Mama Lu's reminder by her side, there were naturally fewer places to need Wu Siqi.
But since she knows that Wu Siqi will have a lot of achievements in the future, she will not miss this opportunity in vain.
It's easy to put icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow, since you can't become a mentor and friend, it's good to have a good fate.
She took out a pen and paper, wrote a few words crookedly with her left hand, and placed them at the bottom of the bowl, "Just send it over." ”
When Gao Linhua was writing, Mama Lu didn't squint, and she didn't see what she was writing at all, but she didn't accept the food box handed by Gao Linhua.
Gao Linhua looked at Mama Lu puzzled, "Mama......"
"Miss will be eight years old after the New Year, and she is not too young, so it is not appropriate to send a foreign man to eat, even if it is Laba porridge."
He looked down at the food box again, "I will send this food box to Madame, and then I will borrow our own hands to send it, and Miss will not care." ”
Looking at Mama Lu's departing figure, Gao Linhua was a little frustrated, she tried her best to do her best, but she always showed flaws.
The Wang family has already instructed people to send Laba porridge out, and now that Mama Lu has sent another one, her face is not so good-looking.
"Won't it be delivered all at once? When I'm here, why don't I send some later? ”
The Wang family was still very kind in front of Gao Linhua, but he didn't bother to pretend to be in front of Mama Lu.
Mama Lu just smiled and said, "The eldest lady suddenly remembered that there was such a person, otherwise, she would have ordered the porter to go and get it, right?" And not a significant person. ”
Mama Lu was so interested, Wang was very happy, "Okay, let's do it." ”
The Wang family looked down on Wu Siqi, and naturally he didn't think that the porter was rude to give a gift.
Mama Lu solemnly put the food box in the hand of the porter, "It contains laba porridge, but it has to be flat, if you spill it, Miss can't spare you." ”
The porter nodded cautiously, "The small one is that if someone falls, the porridge will not be spilled." ”
Mama Lu went back to the kitchen first, picked out a beautiful porridge bowl, filled the hot laba porridge, packed the food box, found a familiar mother-in-law to send it out, and then went back to Gao Linhua.
"I finally sent out all the laba porridge, and it was hard work. Later, I'll go to Madame's place myself to see who returns the salute, and Mama should have a good rest. ”
Mama Lu retreated in response, and behind her, Gao Linhua's eyes became deeper and deeper.
