Chu Nanzhi did not dare to persuade her any more, knowing that these old people valued their appearance more than their lives.
Liu Chengming, the head of the Liu family, managed to bring his two sons back, but the head of the Chu family could not even control his own heirs.
Chu Wenyu did not want to return to the Qi family until his death, but the members of the Chu family went to the Qi family one after another for a few taels of silver, and watched helplessly as they flattered the Qi family mother and son. If this spreads out, it will indeed be a big deal.
His dignity was swept away.
After sitting quietly in the room for a while, Chu Nanzhi was in a daze. Chu Laoqian, the head of the Chu family, suddenly staggered up to her and whispered in her ear: "Nan Zhi, come with me.
trip."
Hearing the sound, Chu Nanzhi immediately opened his eyes, looked at the clan leader's sad face, and quickly got up and followed him to the side room.
When Lin Jinxiao saw that it was the head of the Chu family asking questions, he did not dare to follow him.
Chu Laoqian sat on the seat, leaning on his crutches tightly, and said thoughtfully: "I heard from someone who came back from the Qi family today that Wen Yu was secretly sent to your family a few days ago because he sent two fishes to your family.
When his mother found out, she scolded him a few words, and then he couldn't bear to think about it and committed suicide by taking poison."
"My uncle did indeed send two fish over. I heard from my mother that a few days ago, my uncle went to help a Taoist friend's house to release water for fishing, and then he dropped by the fish."
Chu Nanzhi replied softly.
But Chu Wenyu shouldn't be troubled by such a trivial matter. This is really ridiculous.
Chu Laoqian sighed sadly: "Wen Yu has been miserable in the Qi family these years. Those of us who are old people know it well, but there is nothing we can do about it. Your father-in-law couldn't take care of it when he was still alive.
How can we clan elders intervene?"
After thinking about it, he said carefully: "No matter what, we still have to get these unfilial heirs of our Chu family back from the Qi family. Wen Yu will return home until he dies. They are a bunch of dogs who are still licking their hot faces."
To put it another way, this will not only make the relatives angry and the enemies happy, but also make Wen Yu feel heartbroken. Where can I put the old faces of me and several elders in the future?"
"Grandpa, don't worry too much. People's hearts are unpredictable. You can't do this kind of thing reluctantly."
Chu Nanzhi took this matter very seriously. Even blood relatives could not avoid separation, let alone people of the same clan.
Chu Laoqian was a little reluctant: "Anyway, since Wen Yu's funeral is being held at his own home, it is related to the face of the Chu family, so as the clan leader, I have to take care of it."
"Grandpa, are you hungry? I'll get you a hot bowl of porridge."
Seeing that he was still struggling with this issue, Chu Nanzhi had to deliberately change the topic.
Chu Laoqian waved his hand: "I'm not hungry."
"Then I'll help you go upstairs and have a rest. You're old and have to sleep."
"I am not sleepy."
Chu Laoqian was a little angry, and he talked to her seriously. This little girl's movies were just useless. They were really useless and would not be of any use at the critical moment.
Chu Nanzhi felt that a junior like him shouldn't try to fool around with him in front of him. Seeing that he was so stubborn, he had to have a good talk with him:
"Grandfather, please be more open-minded. This is how things are in this world. How many people can remain unmoved by worldly fame and fortune? Even if you go and tie up all the clan members yourself, they will not be convinced."
It’s useless too.”
At this point, she couldn't help but quietly look at the old patriarch. Seeing that his expression softened slightly, she continued to persuade: "Fortunately, people from Nanhua Temple and the Shen family came to support the show, and there were also many neighbors.
Please help me, and my uncle will not be sad even if he passes away."
After hearing these words, Chu Laoqian did not argue any more, and remained silent there, lost in thought.
"Grandpa Clan, please rest here. I'll go to the hall first and take a look."
After saying that, Chu Nanzhi brought him a bowl of tea, then returned to Lin Jinxiao and sat down.
Lin Jinxiao was quietly recuperating with his eyes closed. When he felt the movement next to him, he immediately opened his eyes and looked over, staring at Chu Nanzhi. Seeing that her expression was calm, he knew that the old stubborn inside did not make things difficult for her, so he closed his eyes with peace of mind.
Continue to take a nap to rest your mind.
Chu Nanzhi got up and went to refill some tea for the Taoist priests. She sat back down next to Lin Jinxiao and unknowingly took a nap. When she woke up, she found herself leaning on his shoulder. There was noisy outside the yard, and she walked over.
This pretty boy was staring at him blankly.
Chu Nanzhi stood up in panic, looked around, and found that except for the Taoist priests who were still reciting scriptures, the others had already left the mourning hall.
Chu Nanzhi looked at Lin Jinxiao with a surprised look on his face, but he said in a slow and gentle voice: "Hurry up and follow me out to greet you. Princess Shu and her two mentors are here. They are outside the hospital."
Hearing Princess Jinshu's name, Chu Nanzhi was so frightened that her heart trembled, and she scolded with dissatisfaction: "Then you didn't wake me up earlier."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Jinxiao stood up slowly and calmly, and said casually: "She won't mind."
"you"
Chu Nanzhi was looking at him doubtfully, and before the words of cross-examination were spoken, he immediately realized that this guy was also a student of Chang Lao, so he naturally knew Lin Jinshu.
When I said goodbye to the county government last time, I heard the princess call him the emperor's brother, and I actually had some doubts.
"When Chang Lao resigned from office and went into seclusion, Princess Shu was also secretly sent to her mentor's home. I was fortunate enough to study with her in my mentor's house for several years, and we had a slight friendship. Later, she was taken back to the palace, and we occasionally wrote letters.
We had no contact with her until she was ordered to go to the north."
Lin Jinxiao patiently explained to her.
I didn't want to tell her these things before because I was afraid that she would be stubborn and force me to ask for an official.
Now that she has become so sensible, it doesn't hurt to tell her some things.
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in sudden realization, and cursed this guy secretly in his heart.
He is really a scheming little cunning guy. The original owner had been with him for five years, and he didn't even know that Princess Shu had studied at Chang Lao's Mansion, let alone the friendship between the two as classmates.
She helped Lin Jinxiao out of the mourning hall with some annoyance. In the courtyard, Lin Jinshu was greeting everyone to get up. When he saw the couple, he quickly greeted them with Mr. Nie and Mr. Chang.
Lin Jinshu had taken off his military uniform today and was wrapped in simple white clothes. He looked a little more feminine and graceful as a daughter. When he came to Lin Jinxiao, he bowed to Lin Jinxiao with a man's hand and said: "My dear sister, I have seen the emperor."
Brother."
As soon as the emperor's brother spoke out his loud voice, it immediately caused an uproar around him.
Although everyone knows that Lin Jinxiao is a descendant of the royal family, since the imperial court ordered the reduction of vassalage two hundred years ago, with the continuous decline of King Pingning's lineage, the descendants of the clan scattered in various places have long been out of line.
Even though the whole county openly respects the Lin clan, deep down they don't really take them seriously.
At this moment, when he heard Princess Jinshu solemnly calling him "Royal Brother" and specially coming to mourn the Chu family, she knew that the weight of this was self-evident, and she was afraid that she would have to pay attention to the lineage of King Pingning again.
There was heated discussion:
"Her Highness the Princess is not here to pick up the Lin clan members who are still living in the capital, right?"
"Who knows, it's a pity that the head of the Lin family didn't come. He has been looking forward to this day for a long time."
"Ahem, I don't have the time to do that right now. I had a funeral banquet at Qi's house yesterday, and I'm afraid I'm still very drunk at the moment."
Lin Jinshu listened to the comments around him and ignored them. He ordered the accompanying guards to hand over the prepared silk gold and memorial supplies to the Chu family. He took Chu Nanzhi and his wife inside to offer incense and worship.
Later, I went to the side hall with Chang Lao and Nie Lao to talk.
Liu Yun led the Chu sisters and served tea to the distinguished guests with great fear, and then hurriedly left.
She had never even seen the county magistrate in her life. Although she had a royal son-in-law, he was just a descendant of a declining royal family whose age could not be determined by counting several times on his fingers. At this moment, she actually saw a living princess.
He also affectionately called his son-in-law "Brother Imperial". He was so happy and excited that he even trembled when he walked.
