Chapter 60: New Year
After the misunderstanding with Ye Beichen was resolved, Lu Qing'er was a lot more relaxed, this time it was really the New Year, and everything in the Lu Mansion was almost the same, and the red lanterns were hung at the gate, which made people look very festive.
During the day, Mrs. Lu specially sent her grandmother to dress up Lu Qing'er and Lu Sirou, Lu Qing'er was very puzzled about this, what kind of rule is this?
Mama was very strict, telling Lu Qing'er not to doze off at night's vigil, to eat less at night, to make dumplings by the children themselves, and to toast the elders and a series of other matters, Lu Qing'er's head was big.
Lu Sirou looked at her being instructed by her grandmother, and laughed out of shape for a while, "Sister Rou, what did the old woman say just now, women can't smile toothy, pay attention to the image of a lady!" ”
Lu Sirou had no choice but to close her mouth immediately, lowered her head and listened to Mama's criticism.
Mrs. Lu stood at the door and looked at the two sisters inside, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and the maid next to her saw that Mrs. was so happy, and she also looked inside curiously.
The sharp-eyed Lu Qing'er saw Mrs. Lu's figure, and hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Auntie is here, Auntie come in and sit, Qing'er is going to cook some tea, and she will come right away!" As he spoke, he walked out, and made a deliberate grimace when he passed by Mama.
Lu Sirou echoed as if she didn't understand, "That, mother, you're tired, I, I'll go see what pastries there are!" ”
"Stop, don't be lazy, Madame's tea and pastries have their own maid to get them, two young ladies, let's learn from the old woman as soon as possible!"
Mrs. Lu looked at the faces of the two of them and immediately collapsed, and said softly: "Mama, these two in my family are naughty, you are tired, I think it's almost noon, you can rest too, Sirou Qing'er go to the kitchen to give Mama those snacks!" ”
When Mama saw Mrs. Lu speak, she didn't say anything anymore, and sat in the courtyard with Mrs. Lu chatting.
"How about Mama looking at my house?" Mrs. Lu looked at Mama with a smile, waiting for an answer.
Mama understood what Mrs. Lu meant, and thought for a while, "The old woman observed and found that Miss Qing'er's mind would be heavier, but the etiquette was very thorough, and in addition, Miss Qing'er's speech and demeanor were not like those circulated in the outside world, there was a kind of indescribable nobility, but I didn't expect that the children in the countryside would be so good!" It's the old woman who is short-sighted, don't be surprised by the lady! ”
Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "After all, what is rumored in the outside world is not credible, although Qing'er is lost, it is not as rumored, this child is very good, I like it very much." ”
"Yes, what Mrs. said is, as for Miss Sirou, I think she is younger and playful, the old woman has been to many homes, and the ladies who belong to the Lu family are worry-free and harmonious, or Mrs. teaches well!"
Mrs. Lu still said a few words modestly, but she was very satisfied in her heart, yes, she thought so too, it was really the luck of the Lu family, Qing'er was sensible, Sirou was naughty, she was very content.
Soon in the evening, Lu Qing'er and Lu Sirou were busy in the kitchen, mixing noodles, mixing dumpling filling, and rolling skin.
Although these jobs are a bit trivial and a little difficult for people in the south, who is Lu Qing'er, he was born in the north since he was a child, his mother used to make dumplings in the past, and she always played beside her, the so-called never ate pork but also saw pigs run, these are not difficult things for her.
Besides, Mrs. Lu sometimes came to help, watching the two sisters busy with flour on their hands, and smiling and wiping each other's faces, forgetting everything in their hearts, Master Lu was bored alone, and also came to the kitchen, and the people on the side, looking at the happy appearance of this family, also laughed in their hearts.
Thanks to the help of many people, the dumplings were quickly wrapped, and Lu Qing'er deliberately made more, wanting other maids to eat dumplings as well.
The dumplings were put into the pot, looking at the small and delicate white dumplings, Lu Sirou patted off the flour on her hands, very satisfied.
