4320 Chapter sycophant
This man really can't stand talking about it.
The next day, guests came to the Zuo family. They were Mrs. Zuo’s younger brother and sister-in-law, her nephew and his wife, as well as Zuo Yingchun’s mother and daughter.
Because they were both guests of the Zuo family, Zuo Junmo, as the middle-level master, naturally introduced both parties.
Zuo Junmo's uncle's family all knew about Luo Fengtang's identity.
At that moment, Zuo Junmo's uncle was in awe and said to Luo Fengtang, "I have heard of General Luo's reputation for a long time. I am lucky enough to meet him today. It is true that being famous is not as good as meeting him. The general is so charming!"
Luo Fengtang smiled lightly and said calmly: "In Brother Zuo's place, everyone does whatever they want, regardless of official position."
The men sat down to drink tea and chat, and the women also chatted together.
The so-called greetings, to put it bluntly, are Zuo Junmo's aunt and Zuo Junmo's cousins surrounding Yang Ruoqing and flirting with her.
But Zuo Yingchun and her daughter were nowhere to be seen.
Baby Luo came over happily.
Before Yang Ruoqing opened her mouth, Zuo Junmo's aunt discovered it.
"Oh, whose little girl is this? She is so smart and cute, so rare." She said.
The woman's daughter-in-law immediately said: "This must be Mrs. Luo's child, right? When I look at the facial features, they look quite similar to the two of them!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Well, she is indeed my daughter."
Then, she waved to Baby Luo.
Baby Luo ran over happily.
"Baby, what's the matter with you?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Early this morning, when Baby Luo opened his eyes, he found an iron cage in the house.
There were two rabbits, one gray and one white, in the iron cage.
This was prepared by Zuo Junmo, specially for Baby Luo.
So after breakfast, Baby Luo stayed in the house playing with the little rabbits, feeding them clean vegetable leaves, and playing with gusto.
"Mom, the vegetable leaves are gone." Luo Baobao said.
Yang Ruoqing was surprised, "What? Did you eat all the slices you took before?"
Baby Luo nodded, "But they don't seem to be full yet. Their noses and mouths are squeezed in the middle of the iron cage and are shrinking. They must be looking for food..."
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "They only have noses and mouths. They are not hungry. Don't feed them too much, or you may overstuff them."
Baby Luo's eyes rolled around, "Okay, then I'll feed you later."
After saying these words, she turned around and was about to run back. When she thought of something, she suddenly stopped and turned around.
Without Yang Ruoqing's instructions, she bowed slightly to Zuo Junmo's aunt and aunt's wife, made an elder salute, smiled sweetly, and then turned and left.
This playful and yet polite move immediately surprised Zuo Junmo's aunt and cousin-in-law.
"Mrs. Luo, this little daughter of yours is really generous and understands etiquette. She is such a good child. How did you raise such a good child?" Zuo Junmo's aunt asked.
Yang Ruoqing smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, you are so complimentary. This girl of mine is so naughty."
The daughter-in-law quickly said: "The naughty child is smart, courageous, and not afraid of life. He will be successful when he grows up."
"By the way, my sister's daughter is as courageous as a daughter of yours, Mrs. Luo. She will follow wherever my sister goes. This time she and her mother came to my husband's house to celebrate the New Year. Except for my sister
, No one else wants that child, the child is already five years old, it’s time to be sensible, you can see that you don’t even call me aunt in front of me, hey, the children you taught Mrs. Luo are promising!"
To be honest, Yang Ruoqing doesn't like this kind of flattery.
Especially when the people being compared are two children.
She didn't pay much attention to the daughter-in-law, but turned to Zuo Junmo's aunt and asked, "I heard earlier that cousin Yingchun and her child also came over. Where are they?"
Unlike that young daughter-in-law, Zuo Junmo's aunt truly felt sorry for her daughter Zuo Yingchun.
A daughter is the flesh that fell from her mother's body, and her children are her granddaughters. No matter how timid and unpromising she is, the mother-in-law still feels sorry for her and is partial to her.
If someone were to comment on her granddaughter like this, the woman would definitely defend, argue, or even scold her.
However, it happened that the person who said such words was his daughter-in-law...
The daughter-in-law's natal family is considered a well-known merchant family in Huguang County. The daughter-in-law's brother also passed the exam, so the daughter-in-law speaks a little louder, and the mother-in-law must be more tolerant...
So, when she heard Yang Ruoqing's question, the woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yang Ruoqing didn't bother about the child anymore.
"Yingchun mother and daughter went to the backyard to meet her aunt," the woman said.
The daughter-in-law rushed to say: "Mom, my sister really doesn't understand the rules. It's okay to be a little confused at home. Now after all, I came to my aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings, and I was lucky enough to meet General Luo and Mrs. Luo. No matter what, my sister should come over first to meet the distinguished guests.
…”
"You can't say that. You don't know something. Before you came in, your sister often came to stay at your aunt's house. She has a deep relationship with your aunt..." the mother-in-law explained.
The daughter-in-law said: "No matter how deep the relationship is, you still have to understand the rules. We all went to see my aunt together earlier and kowtowed to her. Now there are distinguished guests in the front hall, and my sister should come over too..."
The mother-in-law didn't know what to say, so she could only smile apologetically to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing, on the other hand, picked up the tea bowl and drank tea, with her eyelashes drooping and no reaction on her face. The mother-in-law secretly winked at her daughter-in-law.
I have handed it over several times, but my wife seems to be a chatterbox. Once she opens it, she will never stop until she finishes what she wants to say.
Therefore, even though the mother-in-law's eyelids are about to blink, the daughter-in-law is still talking.
The mother-in-law was a little anxious. At this moment, Yang Ruoqing suddenly stood up.
"I happened to have not gone to talk to the old lady today, so I went over first."
Ignoring the daughter-in-law, Yang Ruoqing just nodded lightly to her mother-in-law. She didn't need their response and went straight to the backyard.
Yes, it's not that she is ungrateful, but that for some people, sometimes you have to show your identity appropriately and don't need to treat them politely.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both stood up. The mother-in-law was sending her off respectfully, but the daughter-in-law wanted to follow her.
"It just so happens that I have to go to chat with my aunt. Mrs. Luo is waiting for me..."
Yang Ruoqing turned her head and glanced at her daughter-in-law. The coldness and warning in her eyes was like a ladle of cold water being poured on her body unceremoniously.
The daughter-in-law's feet stopped and she didn't dare to press on her anymore.
Yang Ruoqing turned around with satisfaction and headed to the backyard.
They must have met Mrs. Zuo before, and then they were invited by Zuo Junmo to drink tea in the front hall. This is the etiquette of New Year greetings.
As for Zuo Yingchun, she stayed in the backyard. It must have been Mrs. Zuo who was left alone to talk.
