Chapter 41 Warm Jade
The eldest lady said: "The old lady will come over today, let's have a meal at noon and meet the old lady together."

Chen Fan agreed, and then returned to Lanxiangyuan with Xiaohe.

She asked Xiao He to find a nicer box, a little higher than the one for the bracelet.After Xiao He left, she began to examine the little jade block.

Counting the number, there are quite a lot, forty or fifty.But these cannot all be sent out.Even with the baggy trousers she was wearing that day, it didn't look like she could tie a lot around her legs without seeing it.A small bead has no value, so it is better not to give it away.I don't know who likes gold rings and jade rings, so don't make any controversy, Huaishan's words are very reasonable.

Chen Fan picked out a piece of emerald green and transparent jadeite, and a piece of white jade as delicate as cream.These two things are not too small, and it is still possible to cut them into several small jade pendants.

Which one should I send?Or send two?
She held the jade in both hands, held it for a while, and then exchanged it for a while, feeling the warmth of the white jade.

Just give this piece, Nuanyu will make people feel more comfortable.

After thinking about the gift giving, Chen Fan started to write.I don't know what's going on in Shengping County, and no one came to gossip.

Xiao He brought two boxes and left again.These two maids work part-time and are quite busy.

Chen Fan put the piece of jade into two boxes for a try, chose a velvet one, and continued to write.

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

Chen Fan followed Huaishan to the Mercy Hospital where the old lady lived. Along the way, Huaishan told her about the big events outside the North City Gate, and she was relieved.

There are already many people sitting in the room.A few sat on armchairs, most on square stools.

Chen Fan saw a kind-hearted old lady.The eldest wife began to introduce: "Mother, this is my distant niece. Girl, this is the old lady."

Chen Fan solemnly kowtowed to the old lady and called out to grandma.She was called after Huai Shan, and she didn't want to think about other titles.

The old lady helped Chen Fan up: "This child is really good-looking, really cute." The old lady took out a bracelet as she spoke, "Farmers don't have any good things, this bracelet is not a rare item, don't you worry about it, my child. dislike."

Oops, another bracelet.Aunt Zhang gave one before, but she didn't know if she should wear it or not.The old lady gave another bracelet, and she didn't know whether to wear it or not.In addition to wearing a watch, she has never worn any bracelets or bracelets.

Chen Fan handed over the box with both hands: "Grandma, I don't have much on me, this thing can only express my heart, I hope grandma won't dislike it."

The old lady didn't answer: "You child, I'll be very happy if you call me grandma, how can I ask for your things, put them away quickly."

Chen Fan sincerely hoped that she would accept it without hesitation. She held the box and talked again, and the old lady finally took the box: "It's hard for you to protect this thing all the time. Since it's your filial piety, I'll take it first." I'll keep it for you, and I'll give it to you as a dowry in the future."

Why are these words a bit like "I will keep the lucky 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 followed up and called: "Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law... Fifth sister, sixth sister. "

Fortunately, these women didn't give her gifts, so she didn't have to accept the gifts one by one and return them.

She only called sister-in-law eleven times. Aunt Zhang's three sons were not married, the eldest wife's son was only 16 years old, and the other two were younger, seven and five years old.

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

Next, there is a group of children of the younger generation.Eleven boys and girls chirped and shouted hello to their aunt, which was very lively.

After chatting in this room for a while, a group of people walked to Songfuyuan in a mighty manner.

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

The old lady told everyone to sit down.Sitting at Chen Fan's table were three elders, Huaishan and her, quite well off.Five sons-in-law and seven grandchildren sat at a table, and six sons-in-law and four grandchildren sat at a table, all of which were full.Chen Fan found that the six aunts also sat at the table, and did not stand or leave.They sat at a table with the five concubines and the six concubines, but it was not crowded.

Women and children sat at four tables, which was really lively. 56 people, this Liu family is really not an ordinary thriving population.

Not long after sitting down, a group of men came in.Except for the old lady, everyone stood up one after another, calling them "Master", "Father", and "Grandfather".Naturally, Chen Fan also 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 other brothers who are not here, they are going to serve in the military gone."

Seven people serve in the military!This ratio is really big enough.How many troops does the Daxiang Dynasty need?
16-year-old Liu Huaijin bowed to Chen Fan: "The other day my uncle showed me the words written by my sister, and I admired them very much. I have always wanted to ask my sister for advice. I wonder if my sister is willing?"

Chen Fan smiled: "Brother praises me, my handwriting is also copied from the teacher. If my brother doesn't dislike it, I will certainly be willing to read and communicate with my brother."

Liu Huaijin smiled and cupped her fists in thanks.

Liu Twelve immediately said: "Is my sister interested in visiting our training ground?"

And a training ground?Chen Fan's eyes lit up.

"Listen to what he said." Liu Huairong said, "There is an open space in the yard where the boys live. They call that open space a martial arts field. This is what the family said behind closed doors." After he finished, he gave Liu Twelve a look.Liu Twelve shrank her neck.

It seems that not everyone can have this training ground.

The old lady said: "Everyone is here today, remember that there are some things that you can't say outside casually. You should also pay attention to it in your own home. If you get used to speaking, you will inevitably get out of control."

Everyone said yes again and again.Chen Fan was surprised again, the rules are quite strict.

When the men came over, the eight-year-old eldest grandson stood up and sat next to the man.There are two tables sitting comfortably there.

Liu's food is very particular.The color of fried loofah with eggs is very distinct, the golden yellow and emerald green complement each other, very attractive.The fried green vegetables and fried beans are also very good.Drinking old hen soup in summer doesn't feel greasy, and it still has a fragrance.The steamed fish is served with lotus leaves, and the shredded or sliced ​​pork is served with many dishes.It's just that she didn't see braised meat, braised fish, braised chicken.Is it because the Liu family doesn't like braised food, or does the Daxiang Dynasty not like braised food?

Chen Fan was thinking, do you want to go to the kitchen to make braised meat and fish in braised sauce?It's just that she doesn't know if it can be cooked deliciously, and she hasn't understood the seasoning here yet.

The Liu family didn't have a rule of not talking when eating, and all the tables were chatting while eating.The old lady asked Chen Fan about food and lodging, and Chen Fan chatted with her.

"Shall we go to the street in the afternoon?" Huai Shan looked at Chen Fan.

"Okay." She happily agreed. She has been in the city for three days and hasn't gone shopping yet.

After the afternoon nap, Xiao He came with Huaishan and Dao Sui. The two maids each carried a bag across their shoulders, very much like a modern day carrying a cross-body bag!
