Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 200 Confrontation (1)
Yuan Lu helped the old lady to the vegetarian hall, and some vegetarian dishes had already been prepared in the temple.Although they are not as exquisite as those in the Duke's Mansion, they all have a special flavor.I'm used to eating delicate things, so I changed my taste to some home-cooked food, not to mention it's really good.

Anyway, Yuan Lu looked appetizing.While sending someone out to call the three children back, she waited for the old lady to sit down at the dinner table.

The old lady was not very happy when she saw the green things on the plate.

Yuan Lu persuaded her, "They are all good things. The masters here grow them themselves, and they can't be eaten outside."

The old lady curled her lips: "No matter how delicious it is, it's not the vegetables with leaves and vegetables, which can still taste like meat?"

Yuan Lu was funny and helpless, "Didn't you say that before the Buddha, sincerity and sincerity are important? Now that we are still in the temple, are you going to have sex?"

The old lady became nervous when she was told, and clasped her hands together and muttered a few words: "If there is something strange, then there is nothing strange."

While the maid was setting the dishes, the three children had already been brought back.There were smiles on the three little faces, Brother Hong and Brother Che were even panting, their cheeks were flushed.

Yuan Lu scolded: "Let you go out for a stroll, and run away again? Brother Hong is the same, let you watch your brother, are the two of you crazy playing together?"

Brother Hong was also a little embarrassed, originally he was looking at his younger brother.But the younger brother was running around, and he wanted to catch him, so he started to play with him.

Yuan Lu shook her handkerchief, "What are you two doing in a daze? Come here and wipe off your sweat."

The two elder brothers came to her side obediently, and Yuan Lu wiped their sweat and said, "You are also stupid, grandma is sitting inside, and the three of you just stand there? If I don't go over, you stand there when?"

Brother Che said aggrievedly: "I originally wanted to go out to find my mother, but the third housekeeper said that my mother told us not to let us run around. There is no place to sit inside, and the table and chairs were brought by others. Grandmother still has to kneel."

Yuan Lu turned her head and complained to the old lady: "You too, why don't you care about the three children, they are still young, when I go in, you sit there drinking tea by yourself, and the three young ones just watch, I don't care My heart aches to death."

The old lady argued: "How can I be honest with my grandchildren? It was that girl Qiu who pulled me to talk. Her father is Qi Guogong, how can I not show some face?" Then she whispered: "My Go out and hang out, and blame me."

The maid brought hot water, and the three children washed their hands one after another, and sat down with the old lady to prepare dinner.

"How dare I blame you?" Yuan Lu said with a smile, "It's just being courteous for nothing. It's either rape or robbery. Our family has been on good terms with Duke Qi's for many years. Mrs. Qi Guogong is also close to you, and we often correspond with each other. Is this girl on the stage?"

When the old lady thought about it, it seemed that something was wrong. Mrs. Qi Guogong was very strict in running the family, and she had never brought this concubine out. She had never met her before, but she looked familiar today, and she spoke one by one. The old lady called very affectionately.

After lunch, Yuan Lu asked people to prepare for returning to the city.

The old lady begged for a few peace charms in the monastery, saying that the whole family should carry them one by one.Before leaving, Yuan Lu asked about Master Daojing, and Yuan Lu said: "Master Daojing is an outsider, and he would not care about these things. To tell you the truth, I can't even speak in front of him. Let’s donate some sesame oil money, let’s talk about it.”

The old lady knew Master Daojing's reputation for transcending the world, even if the emperor wanted to see him, he might not be able to see him.

Yuan Lu paid 1000 taels of silver bills from the account, and had someone put them directly in the merit box.

Going up the mountain is more difficult than going down the mountain. The whole family is old, weak, sick and disabled, and they all sit in soft sedan chairs.
