h2> Although Yan Chengyue's five uncles are mediocre and unsuccessful, his two cousins and cousins are not bad.

The big cousin who will come tomorrow is named Lin Rui, Lin Rui has a straightforward temperament, and can read, and now he is already a lifter, because he was young when he was raised in the exam, he did not participate in the spring festival at that time, but wanted to wait for the next subject to take the exam again, he married his wife Fang, who is the daughter of the famous Luming Academy in the south.

And that cousin's name is Lin Zhen, this Lin Zhen is not successful in reading and practicing martial arts, only the same, his temperament is dexterous and his means are round, and he is very capable of doing things for others, he has now donated a seven-grade official, waiting to find a real job after marrying, and take his new wife to take office.

Lin Zhen married his wife Geng, and his father was the head of the ministry, although his official position was not big, he was also a real power faction, and he could also provide some help to Lin Zhen.

Speaking of which, the people of the Lin family's mother's family have not come to visit for several years, and they only give some New Year's gifts every year, but now that Lin Rui and Lin Zhen are here, they can't say that there is something to ask the Lin family.

Yan Chengyue didn't know Lin's heart, and he didn't raise Lin since he was a child, and he was not familiar with those cousins and cousins.

After Li Luan'er heard what he said, she already had a plan in her heart.

Since Yan Chengyue has an ordinary relationship with the people of her grandfather's family, then she will do it as usual, there is nothing lacking in etiquette, and she doesn't have to be too enthusiastic, so that people can't find thorns.

On the third day of the new year, Li Luan'er got up early, freshened up and got dressed up and got into the carriage and went back to the old house.

Before the New Year's Festival, the old house was still full of joy, Li Luan'er got out of the carriage and entered the second gate, and saw that a few mothers-in-law and girls were already waiting there, Li Luan'er said hello one by one, and a girl stepped forward: "Mrs. said that she was very busy today, and the young grandmother didn't have to meet her, just said that the young grandmother would help arrange the things in the kitchen." ”

As soon as Li Luan'er heard this, she understood in her heart that the Lin family had a headache when she saw her, so it was better not to see her.

Thinking of Yan Chengyue's words, the people from the Lin family's mother's family have not come to the door for several years, and now her two nephews have come to pay New Year's greetings, and they want to come to the Lin family very seriously, saying that she is busy, but it is also common sense, I can't say, the Lin family is sincerely calling Li Luan'er to help this time.

It's just that Lin and Li Luan'er still have some problems with each other, they don't like to see her, and they don't want to turn their faces with Li Luan'er on a day like today, so they can't see it, and directly hand over the kitchen affairs to her.

Speaking of which, I'm afraid that the Lin family didn't mean to introduce Li Luan'er to her mother's family at all.

However, the Lin family's arrangement not only suited her wishes, but Li Luan'er was also quite agreeable, and she was not willing to entertain any Lin family.

"I see." Li Luan'er smiled: "This sister, you tell your wife, I will take care of the kitchen stall, and in addition, please ask my sister to hand over the menu of today's banquet to me." ”

The girl smiled and handed Li Luan'er a piece of red paper: "This is the menu copied by the slave, young grandma take a look first." ”

Li Luan'er took it and thanked her, and took the two girls to the kitchen.

Because of the separation of the family, now only the Yan family's family lives in the old mansion of the Yan family, so the Lin family has placed her henchmen everywhere, and the kitchen has also placed the people she has trusted.

The kitchen steward called Sister-in-law Jiang, and when Li Luan'er went over, she saw Sister-in-law Jiang bringing tea to a girl in green with a smile.

Take a closer look, the green-clothed girl Li Luan'er also recognizes that it is Yan Wanxiu's eldest girl named Suqin, Suqin took a sip of tea, and smiled at Sister-in-law Jiang: "I have written down what my sister-in-law said, and I will mention it to our girl when I am free, as for what I can't say, I don't dare to guarantee it." ”

"I'm grateful if the girl can mention it." Sister-in-law Jiang's smiling face turned into a flower, and she was more thoughtful to Suqin.

Li Luan'er took a few steps into the house and said with a smile: "What's going on?" What to mention? ”

Her words startled the two of them a lot, and Su Qin quickly stood up and saluted: "Young grandmother." ”

Li Luan'er waved her hand: "What did you just say, I listened to it lively." ”

Su Qin smiled: "It's nothing, it's the son of sister-in-law Jiang who took a fancy to the second-class girl next to our lady, Lingdang, and wanted to beg to go, and asked me to talk to my mother." ”

Speaking of Lingdang, Li Luan'er also had some impressions, she thought for a while and said: "This Lingdang is a good one, it's hard for Jiang Zhong to have such a good vision, if she can really ask for it, Sister-in-law Jiang can be regarded as blessed." ”

Sister-in-law Jiang didn't dare to say anything, Li Luan'er laughed a few more words, and asked how the dishes were prepared today.

Sister-in-law Jiang hurriedly took Li Luan'er to take a look, but saw that the materials had been prepared, waiting for the guests to come and fry them.

Li Luan'er took the menu and compared it, and saw that there was nothing missing, so she checked all kinds of utensils such as the dishes used for the dishes, and discussed with Sister-in-law Jiang, what kind of dishes to put on what plates, how to pack the soup, how to place the spoons, while discussing, Li Luan'er also learned a lot from Sister-in-law Jiang.

After doing this, Li Luan'er had nothing to do, so she asked the little girl who was helping in the kitchen to make her a cup of tea, and Jiang's sister-in-law brought a snack over, Li Luan'er talked and laughed with people while eating snacks and drinking tea, and it didn't take long for the sun to rise.

At this time, a little girl hurriedly ran over: "Sister-in-law Jiang, hurry up and prepare the meal, the guests have already arrived." ”

Sister-in-law Jiang put on an apron, and when she gave an order, everyone in the kitchen was busy, some were making pastries, some were stir-frying, some were boiling soup, and the kitchen was always busy.

Li Luan'er also ate and drank almost, got up, dusted off the corner of her skirt, took Ruizhu and Ruixin out of the house, and found a quiet place to sit and rest.

After a while, I saw some little girls coming out of the kitchen with dishes, presumably to the front hall to serve food.

Rui Zhu pouted: "The young grandmother is also a new daughter-in-law, why didn't the wife of the guest come to the house to ask you to come over to say hello, this is really too much." ”

Li Luan'er glared at her: "What is there to greet, what is there to greet, are you willing to go, the Lin family is not familiar with me, and I don't need anything from them, what to do in a hurry, beckoning Mrs. Eyes, let's be quiet here is not better than anything else." ”

Ruizhu stuck out his tongue: "The slave is just upset for the young grandmother, you don't care, all the slaves didn't say anything." ”

Li Luan'er smiled at this time: "You don't think about it too much, it's my wife's mother's family, my wife and I don't deal with it, I just treat her mother's family well, they don't still want to be with my wife, where will they interact with me, even if that's the case, why should I bother with all this effort." ”

Ruizhu thought about it for a while, smiled and said no more.

After sitting for a while, Li Luan'er saw that the dishes were almost there, and when it was time for her son to be free in the kitchen, she took Ruizhu Ruixin and walked over again, and saw that Sister-in-law Jiang was cleaning up the house with a few cooks, and a few little girls were eating the remaining dishes.

Li Luan'er went in and smiled at Sister-in-law Jiang: "Everyone should be hungry after being busy for so long, even if there is nothing to do, just make some appetizing dishes to pad your stomach first, and someone will order food in a while." ”

Sister-in-law Jiang looked at the time, it was indeed almost time for lunch, so she took a few cooks to prepare some dishes, first left the good ones for Li Luan'er, and then prepared a copy for Li Luan'er's two girls, and the rest was for them to cook.

Li Luan'er was not very particular, so she found a clean place in the kitchen and made dishes and chopsticks to eat.

She had just eaten two bowls of bistem rice and half a chicken and two duck legs, when she heard a burst of laughter, but saw Lin's eldest girl named Fu'er coming in, and gave a salute as soon as she entered the door: "Young grandma can call the slave to find, as if she is busy in front of her, the young grandma is hiding here to be quiet, then Grandma Lin and Grandma Lin can say, they have been admiring the young grandma for a long time, and it is necessary to see it today, young grandma, hurry up and go over with the slave to see each other and the two grandmothers." ”

Li Luan'er smiled: "You allow me to finish the meal." ”

After speaking, he filled another bowl of rice, poured some mutton soup, brought the half plate of three fresh buns to the front, and took a few chopsticks and meat jelly and ate it in a big gulp.

Fu'er hurriedly went to pull Li Luan'er: "Good grandma, there are a lot of vegetables in front, if you want to eat in front of you, it's the same for you to eat in front of you, so let's go with the slave quickly." ”

Li Luan'er couldn't, so she had to put down the dishes and chopsticks and go to the front hall with Fu'er.

The guests who came were all members of the Lin family, and there were few people who came, so the men and women did not eat at separate tables, but several people sat at one table.

When Li Luan'er came in, Lin was talking to a tall, thin man in green clothes, and a young man in a jujube red robe next to him listened with a smile, interjecting from time to time.

There were two young women dressed in red, both of whom were dressed in red, but the hair ornaments on their heads were different, one wore a little emerald red golden phoenix, the other wore a red jade hairpin, one was gentle and the other was playful, and they all looked like rare good looks.

"Ma'am." Li Luan'er saluted the Lin family, and also gave a slight salute to the man in green clothes: "This is my cousin, I'm polite." ”

After speaking, he blessed the young woman with a gentle face wearing a golden phoenix, and the young woman quickly got up to return the salute, Li Luan'er called her cousin-in-law with a smile, and the young woman replied to her brother and sister.

The young man in the jujube red robe was surprised for a moment, looked at Li Luan'er and couldn't help asking, "How did my cousin-in-law separate me from my brother?" How can you tell the difference between a sister-in-law and a? ”

Li Luan'er nodded at the young man with a smile: "This is not difficult, I asked your cousin, he said that his cousin loves to read, but you are more tactful in human accidents, I don't look at people today, just look at the clothes of the two of you, you can also know which is the cousin, which is the cousin, the cousin likes to read, naturally he also has the style of a literati, and he is more upright in dressing, and the cousin is good at getting along with people, so he naturally dresses more deliberately close to the season." ”R1152
