MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 200 New Year's money

After hearing Luo Yuan mention it rashly, he said with emotion.

"Okay, you can bring a few jars back, and I'll fight with your guards another day to see if you guys have made any progress!"

 Hearing this, the desire to fight in Luo Yuanna's heart arose.

“The Fourth Madam is true to her word, brothers are all waiting to see what she said.”

 “When have I ever told lies? Just wait!”

"yes!"

Luo Yuan happily poured wine for his fourth aunt, while he also cheered with a smile.

 It attracted everyone's attention. When Mrs. Xing saw this, she couldn't help but interjected.

“Okay, I know you like to drink, so let’s drink some other time. If you toast such a good table of food with a glass of wine, you will hurt your stomach and intestines carefully and it will be wasted.”

As soon as she opened her mouth, Luo Yuan scratched his head and said hey.

"Mrs. Xing said, I will leave now."

Mrs. Gu laughed loudly a few times, and then picked up the chopsticks.

 Seeing her move her hands, everyone naturally started to move their chopsticks.

Danruo has worked hard for today's meeting.

 It was made after careful discussion with the two cooks who were "brought in" from the Du family.

  There are both Jinling dishes and Cezhou flavors, and even a lot of delicacies from other places are added, so this table can be said to bring together specialties from all over the world.

Even Du Jingyi has not eaten so many new styles on weekdays, so he used a lot more today.

　　With her children and grandchildren accompanying her, the smile on Mrs. Gu’s face never faded.

By the time all the dishes on this table were used up, the New Year’s Eve dinner was almost done.

After three rounds of drinking, Luo Yuan worked harder and his face showed signs of drunkenness.

Because his skin color was already darker, he looked even more interesting with red in the black at the moment. Du Jingyi looked at him and was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he said to Cherry.

"Go to Butler He and ask the servant to take Vice General Luo back to rest first, and then send him some more sobering soup. I'm afraid everyone in the Guards will need it."

 On New Year's Eve, not only their masters have to celebrate the festival, but their servants and guards also have to celebrate it.

There is no shortage of food and drinks, so Du Jingyi also knows that there are probably a lot of drunk people in the room where the Guards are at this moment.

Cherry nodded, but she didn't care about the past things with Luo Yuan.

Hurry and go out to find Butler He.

He and Aunt Dou were supposed to have a meal with everyone in the flower hall today, but both of them were very disciplined people and refused to sit at the same table with their master no matter what.

Although Luo Yuan was a personal follower of Shang Ji, he was actually a prestigious lieutenant general in the army, so there was nothing to question about sitting at the same table with them.

 So, the two of them arranged to have the New Year's Eve dinner with the servants in a house not far away.

After seeing Cherry explaining her purpose, Butler He smiled and replied.

“Don’t worry, Miss Cherry, I will arrange this.”

 “Thank you for your hard work, steward He.”

  “Should.”

 Then, Cherry wrapped her cloak tightly around her body and returned to the flower hall.

 On New Year’s Eve, it is essential to stay up late.

 But this year is different. Because Du Jingyi is pregnant, he naturally cannot stay up late, so the etiquette of staying up late is arranged in advance.

 We pay homage to our elders and receive New Year gifts.     This is a rule that every household has.

Therefore, after the flower hall was tidied up, the place was not moved. Mrs. Gu sat high in it, which was called a amiable person.

There are many thick red envelopes placed on the table next to you. You can tell at a glance that they are prepared for keeping up the new year.

Xing Zhao’s mouth can talk, and now it’s as if it’s covered in honey.

“Grandma, watch it, I will knock my head loudly and hard, I have to get the thickest one!”

He didn't hide it, he made everyone laugh with just one sentence.

Mrs.

"Don't worry, even if you knead from tonight to tomorrow morning, the richest thing will be given to the child in the belly of Liu Lang's wife, so don't dream about it and take it easy."

Xing Zhao didn't take it seriously, but although Shang Zhiping was smiling, there was still a trace of embarrassment in his eyes.

In terms of seniority, both he and Du Jingyi have the youngest children.

 But whether he was in the Duke's Mansion before or now in the General's Mansion, he would never be the most dazzling among his peers.

Hence, the feeling of inferiority came over me again for a moment.

 Although his life in the general's mansion was much better than before, the habits he had developed over the years were still not easy to change.

 He acted very low-key, but Mrs. Gu still saw it.

So he waved to Shang Zhiping and motioned for him to come forward.

“What Yun Qing said is wrong. Both the one in Shaoyu’s wife’s belly and Ping’er are my good great-grandsons. Therefore, I have to get the biggest one.”

Mrs. Xing knew she had said something wrong, so she quickly found someone to correct her.

“Look at me, the older I get, the more confused I become. Ping’er is with this brat in our family every day, so I almost forgot that they are still a generation apart.”

With just one sentence, Shang Zhiping was relieved of the little knot in his heart.

 So, he said it in a very considerate and well-behaved way.

"Great-grandmother, Ping'er is already fourteen now. It's okay to take less of the new year's red envelope. However, the younger brother in Sixth Aunt's belly is not yet born, so it's okay to give him more."

Everyone present was very complimentary to the child after hearing this.

 It is a good thing to know at a young age that you are considerate of others, do not embarrass your elders, and care about your younger siblings.

Ms. Liu was also pleased, but now she preferred to let her son handle things by himself, so even if the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them in the end.

The scene was a bit touching for a while, but it was Xue Niang who finally interrupted.

　　"Grandma, are we the ones who don't agree with each other? My granddaughter is still waiting to get the new year's money."

 Some witty words made everyone laugh.

 Then everyone, led by the third aunt and the fourth aunt, knelt down in order of seniority.

 Kowtow to Mrs. Gu, say auspicious words, and get red envelopes.

 The older ones have less, the younger ones have thicker ones.

 The money for boys is less, and the money for girls is richer.

Therefore, the elder sisters-in-law Liu, Du Jingyi, Gu Xiaolang and Xue Niang got about the same amount, but Shang Ji and Xing Zhao got slightly less.

Seeing this, Xing Zhao clicked his tongue again with "jealousy".

“They say that the great grandmother is partial to her daughter’s family. I didn’t believe it before, but now it seems to be true. Hey, I will definitely be reborn as the daughter of the Gu family in my next life. Look at this person who favors one over the other. He is at a disadvantage!”

 He ​​has always been a good talker, so when he talks and laughs, the atmosphere naturally never gets cold.
