At the gate of the Lin family, Lu Jianzhong, the second master of the Lu family, and Lu Shao, the elder of the Lu family, greeted him. After greetings and greetings in front of the old palanquin, Fang led Master Lin and other male guests to the outer courtyard for a drink. Watching the play, the female families continued to go inside.
Compared with the listlessness of the Lin family, the entire Lu family seemed particularly energetic. There were lights and festoons everywhere, people coming and going, everyone had a bright smile on their faces, and even the doorkeepers put on new clothes that they only wore on New Years and Holidays, which made the Lin family feel quite uncomfortable. .
Lin Yuzhen stood at the second door early and waited. As soon as she saw Mrs. Lin’s sedan chair stopped, she hurried to greet him and personally helped the people down. The spring breeze greeted everyone behind: "My old lady asked several times. But even if it’s here, the banquet is already ready, and someone is invited to sing a small
Judging from the play, they are all their own flesh and blood, so you must have fun. "
Regardless of what everyone thinks, they must all raise their spirits and come forward to greet them and congratulate them, so they laughed and laughed everywhere, and it was so lively.
Old lady Lin supported Lin Yuzhen's hand and said, "Your father is not good, so he won't come. You will tell your father-in-law later, don't let him feel unhappy in his heart." Lin Yuzhen knew the reason, so she lowered. He sighed, "Daddy, too, and my family still cares so much. I was afraid that this would happen, so I specially invited you to come and sit in advance. Are you still angry with me?" She was extremely painful and sad, but her daughter was also born to her. Although Lu Yan was not born to her daughter, she was also her daughter’s son anyway. Her daughter will depend on him in the future, so she must cheer up and smile: "You stupid boy, your father Where will I be angry with you? He is happy for you in his heart, but he is angry with your few nephews who are incapable. "I don't want to talk about this with Lin Yuzhen anymore, and looked around: "Where is this kid Lu Yan?" Your father asked me to bring him a good inkstone, let him see if he likes it or not.
Everyone noticed that Lu Yan did not greet the guests outside with Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun, and they asked in a rush. Roche's voice is loudest: "Yes, we just came to see him, why didn't he come out? Is it shy?"
Lin Yuzhen smiled faintly: "He hasn't returned home yet."
Dow said strangely: "Hey, the other children are all home, why hasn't he been home yet?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Lin Yuzhen's face, too lazy to answer Dow's words.
Lu Yun hurriedly said: "My brother met a few friends he used to know in the south in Taiming Mansion. He made an appointment to play there for a few days, reminiscing about the past.
Luo Shi said anxiously: "Then the day will be the day of hospitality, what should I do without him?" Lin Yuzhen was a little annoyed, and reluctantly said: "He will come back then." Lu Yun showed a trace of worry in his eyes." Tugging at Lin Yuzhen's sleeve lightly, Lin Yuzhen was bored for a while, then she regained her spirit and asked Granny Lin: "What kind of show do you want to watch?" I asked someone to prepare immediately. "
Mrs. Lin looked at her expression and slowly said, "You are confused. Today is a happy event for your family. We are the guests who come to congratulate us. We want your mother-in-law to be our main priority."
Lin Yuzhen's face unexpectedly showed a bit of grievance, and she didn't speak, but she firmly supported the old lady Lin and walked inside. Everyone saw that she was not in a good mood, and they didn't dare to say what she wanted to say before.
Entered two doors. "The old lady Lu, who was as thin as a wood, dressed in a purple Lian Yunwen brocade, and a cyan long dress, was helped out by the second wife of Lu's Song and Lu's third wife, and she gasped and said, " In-laws, there is a long way to go! Welcome! "Lady Lu is not in good health. She will be raised all year round and will not go out." If it weren't for such a festive event, I'm afraid she would not show up. When Old Lady Lin saw her, she couldn't help but stepped forward to help. She groaned: "You too" are not an outsider. She was so polite and walked so far. "
The old lady Lu smiled and said, "Because I'm not an outsider, I have to come to welcome me. I'm not healthy on weekdays, so I'm so lazy. Is it possible that my in-laws came to the door, and I just sat still? That's really unreasonable." outrageous! "The second wife of Lu Song Zai said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, this is a happy event, since I received the happy news
Most of the illness has gone. "
Lu Yan's biological mother, Mrs. Lu San, even smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. "It's been a long time since my family has had such a happy event. It's really happy. I learned about it." I couldn't sleep all night. "
"I got a good news before I slept peacefully! At this point, I was relieved, and I finally had an explanation. So many years of hard work" Nothing in vain! With a smile on Lin Yuzhen's face, she glanced at Tu Shi in disgust. She was too happy to fall asleep? People who didn't know thought she was Lu Yan's mother, right?
The smile on Tu's face suddenly stagnated, showing a bit of embarrassment and sadness.
Lin Yuzhen turned a blind eye, stepped forward and held old lady Lu with her hand, and squeezed Tu Shi aside quietly.
The Tu family didn't argue, a few steps behind everyone, standing there dazedly, his eyes were red. My own biological son has a promising future, and my present mother doesn't even have the right to be happy. It's totally unreasonable to be bullied by people like this.
Everyone knows the wronged account between her two people. Seeing this situation, they felt more or less sympathetic to the Tu family, feeling that Lin Yuzhen was too stingy and overbearing. Although Lu Yan has passed, he is Lin Yuzhen's son in the patriarchal law, but his blood relationship is inseparable. If he robs someone else's son, some things are done too much and too tightly guarded, which will be counterproductive. . Why bother?
Thinking back, no one would go to persuade Lin Yuzhen on such an occasion, just pretending to be stunned, or watching the excitement with interest.
Lu Yun frowned slightly, just about to persuade the Tu family, but Lin Yuzhen grabbed him. Lin Yu,
Jane glared at her daughter warningly, looked at Tu with a smile and said loudly, "Third siblings, what's wrong with you?"
Tu's sniffed his nose, raised his eyes and watched everyone grinning reluctantly: "I'm fine, but I suddenly feel a little tired."
Lin Yuzhen smiled viciously: "I'm afraid that it was caused by not falling asleep last night! Since you are uncomfortable, you must be careful to rest. This is autumn, and you are getting old again, and your body is not well. Beware of minor illnesses. Serious illness, isn’t it our Lu Yan’s fault?
Tu’s gritted teeth, staring at Lin Yuzhen angrily, wanted to say something, but couldn’t find anything to say, after holding back for a long time, squeezed out:
Sister-in-law is really Good-hearted." Mrs. Lu frowned slightly, glanced at the two daughter-in-laws, and said unhappily: "If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest. You don't have to come to serve you later."
The old lady glared at Lin Yuzhen dissatisfiedly, pinched her secretly, and said in an inaudible manner: "How would you be more generous? It's a shame for everyone." Lin Yuzhen lowered her eyes, still in discomfort. This Lu Yan was her son a long time ago. She raised him with great pains and found so many teachers in Jiangnan. Sooner or later, she will guard him to study, teach him to be a man, and work hard for his clothing, food, shelter, and transportation. Today, this Tu family wants to grab someone without letting go? dream!
The second wife of Lu, Song, hurriedly stepped forward to complete the battle, stabilized the heartbroken Tu, turned her head and smiled at everyone: "The third sibling is uncomfortable, let me take care of her. You can play with ease."
A trace of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the old lady Lu, and she nodded gently, and invited everyone from the Lin family to go inside.
Lin Yuzhen glanced at the two younger sister-in-laws with disdain, raised her head high, and greeted her family.
When everyone walked for a long time, Lin Jinrong looked back, but saw that the Song family and the Tu family were still standing under the phoenix tree. Tu's head rested on Song's shoulder, Song's lightly patted her shoulder, whispering something.
Lin Jinyin whispered: "This second Mrs. Lu is really a caring good person." Lin Jinrong gave a noncommittal "um" and quickly turned his head. Is Soong a caring good person? She didn't know that in her memory, only the pale but calm face of the Song family after Lu Lun's death, and of course Song family's soft comfort after Ning'er was gone, but also the Song family's when she persuaded her to take out her dowry Outstanding eloquence, and indifference to her when the family fled.
Are there any purely good people in this world? Lin Jinrong gently shook his head. Once in her eyes, most people were good people. She believed that the other person was a good person with just one sentence and one thing, but now she doesn't look at it that way.
This table of the Lu family is located in the Haitang Hall. The Begonia Hall, as the name suggests, is filled with carefully cultivated begonias. Huā has red, pink, and white colors, and the leaves are light green, dark green, light brown, dark brown, and purple. It looks like huā clusters and is very suitable for the scene.
After everyone was seated, the carefully prepared dishes were delivered in a flowing stream, including fruits, vegetables, fish and shrimps, mountain delicacies, game dishes, Dongyang wine and Sichuan Rongzhou lychee wine. More than a dozen servants and maids perform their duties, quietly, and orderly serving the people, there is no noise, and the stage in front of the hall is flying lively on the stage, a group of wealth and joy.
Lin Jinyin watched for a while, and Ran whispered in Lin Jinrong's ear: "This is so extravagant. If you pass the Jinshi exam, you still don't know how to be fun?"
What can be done? The Lu family is a big clan in Pingzhou, but it can't be compared with those big clan outside, what's the great thing? That year, Lu Yan passed the Jinshi exam, and he just set up a table in this Haitang Hall, and there was nothing more than that for food. It was just a few days of setting up seats and singing for a few days. Lin Jinrong smiled faintly, sipped the lychee wine in her glass gracefully, and diligently persuaded: "My sister tastes this lychee wine, it's rare to taste it on weekdays."
"You drink less." Jing Jinyin really took a sip and said with a small smile: "It's pretty good."
On the side, Lu Yun was whispering to Lin Liu: "...I just got the second place in the exam, and I was a little unhappy, so I brought a letter back, saying that I wanted to relax.
My grandfather agreed, but my mother disagreed, so I called someone to pick him up. I might be able to come back in the future. "
