Chapter 290 Dad doesn’t know how to take concubines
Lin Jinhui was startled by her mother's stern rebuke. She didn't expect that her mother would scold her at this time. She muttered and said bitterly: "Mother, am I wrong in what I said?"
Glittering teardrops began to swirl around the eyes.
Mrs. Zhou choked up her sobs, her eyes full of resentment: "You know her temper, why did you provoke her?"
"I"
Lin Jinhui was dissatisfied and was about to argue when Chu Nanzhi immediately stopped her: "Okay, Er Niang, please stop saying a few words and help your mother go back to rest."
Seeing the two little guys dazed and almost scared out of their wits, she had no intention of staying in this courtyard any longer.
This kind of family dinner is really rare in her life. It's no wonder that Lin Jinxiao didn't listen to her nagging in her ear even before they entered the house. It seems that the pretty girl had already expected that this dinner would not be peaceful.
She asked Liu Yun to take care of the two little treasures. She helped Zhou get up together, and forced Lin Jinhui to come over and let the mother and daughter go back to the house.
Mrs. Zhou also didn't expect that a good banquet would turn into such a tense situation. With a guilty look on her face, she pulled Chu Nanzhi and apologized: "My niece, my aunt didn't entertain you well today. I'm really sorry."
"Auntie, don't say such outlandish things."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sighed sadly: "I didn't expect that it would be so difficult for my aunt these years."
"Well, every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite. It'll be fine if you get used to it."
Ms. Zhou said softly: "I originally wanted to accompany you to the courtyard to watch the performance of the Baixi Opera Troupe after dinner, but now I'm afraid it has ruined your interest."
"It doesn't matter. There will be opportunities in the future. It's getting late. Auntie, go to bed early. Don't worry about these things anymore. Have a good night's sleep and everything will be over."
Chu Nanzhi smiled warmly, and then faced Lin Jinhui and told her politely: "Second mother, please stay with your mother, and don't make her sad again."
Lin Jinhui rubbed a few tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, forced a smile and said: "Sister-in-law, I remember that you should go back and rest early. I will visit you and the babies tomorrow."
"good."
Chu Nanzhi smiled and then asked the maids to help her serve the Zhou family. She returned to the inner hall and led Liu Yun and Xiaobao out of the courtyard.
In the main hall, Lin Jinxiao and the elders had finished their meal and were sitting with a comfortable expression, drinking tea and watching the performance of the troupe.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi come out, Lin Jinxiao and Chu Wenbi stood up together with Dabao and Sanbao. Seeing the embarrassed expressions on the mother and daughter's faces, they already guessed that the inner courtyard was probably not peaceful.
Otherwise, it would have been so long since the circus performance started and no one would come out.
After saying goodbye to the Lin family, he led his family back to his old home.
Chu Nanzhi and Liu Yun first went to the side rooms to light lamps, and then returned to the main room. They saw that Lin Jinxiao had warmed up the venison he had brought back, and was sitting at the dinner table with the quadruplets to share with them.
"Madam, father-in-law and mother-in-law, please come over and eat some more with the little darlings."
Lin Jinxiao set up the chairs and gave instructions in a gentle voice: "The house has just been taken care of, and I haven't prepared any dry food, so don't go hungry at night."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Wenbi couldn't help but shuddered: "My mother, Da Zhi, if you haven't eaten well, please eat more. I'm almost done, but I'm just a little sleepy. I'm going to rest first."
."
Today, my son-in-law has grown up his appearance, and the elders of the Lin family have praised him so much that he has a great appetite and has already had enough food and drinks.
After saying that, he held a lantern and walked towards the backyard with great satisfaction.
When I walked, my old legs that had been hobbled for many years seemed to be much more flexible, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Liu Yun looked at the direction in which he was going, and cursed angrily to herself: "This old and immortal bitch, my mother and daughter almost drowned in spittle in the backyard, but he actually had enough heart to fill his stomach."
It's simply unreasonable.
Angrily, she pulled Chu Nanzhi to sit next to the little treasures. After struggling for most of the time, she thought that she would be able to have a full meal at Lin's house. She never thought that she was already full of anger before the banquet started.
Seeing the fragrant venison at this time, she was already salivating, and started eating hungrily.
Lin Jinxiao stared at his mother-in-law's embarrassed eating look, which was rare. He couldn't help but approach Chu Nanzhi and said with a wicked smile: "It seems that you and your mother-in-law are not comfortable staying in the inner courtyard."
Seeing him gloating over his misfortune, Chu Nanzhi immediately became angry and directly stretched out her hand to pinch his thigh, deliberately provoking: "Does it hurt?"
Lin Jinxiao shook his head calmly: "It's okay."
"Oh, it looks like I still have to use a knife."
Chu Nanzhi rolled her eyes and looked at the hot venison, not wanting to be angry with him again.
The pretty boy had the foresight to prepare some food in advance, otherwise he would be really hungry tonight.
Liu Yun ate a few mouthfuls of venison, looked at her daughter and son-in-law playing, and then thought about what happened at the patriarch's house just now, she felt a little uneasy, and first complained:
"Dalang, it's not that my mother-in-law wants to say bad things about your Lin clan, but those elders have indeed gone too far. After all, your aunt is the clan leader's wife, and she is kind enough to host a banquet for everyone. These elders
It’s just a matter of picking things up everywhere, and you’re also allowing a little concubine to stir up trouble. It’s really not easy for the eldest lady this week.”
"It is easy for some women to marry into the Lin family."
Lin Jinxiao smiled meaningfully, stood up, poured a few bowls of tea and handed them to everyone, and then said: "It is hard to survive to the age of three uncles, so naturally they will not be a good person."
"Well, that's true."
Liu Yun nodded slightly.
In the entire Dahe Empire, apart from Jinling City in Kyoto, Luyan Port and Qinghe Land had the largest concentration of wealthy noble families.
The land of Qinghe is the birthplace of the royal family. The royal family there has never experienced decline and is inherently noble. However, after the Lin family in Luyan Port experienced the reduction of vassalage, they are not as rich as those merchant families, and they are not as powerful as other families.
The big gentry are nothing more than poor people with empty faces, so they have developed the habit of only caring about their appearance.
After meeting these Lin clan members in Luyan Port, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but think of Princess Jinshu.
That nobleman from the land of Qinghe was probably unmatched by any female in the entire Dahe Empire in terms of power. However, when he arrived at Tong'an Village, he didn't act like a princess, and even the villagers drank the coarse tea with ease.
He is so approachable and approachable, which makes people miss him.
Liu Yun saw that her daughter was only concentrating on filling her stomach. She seemed not to have heard what her son-in-law said, and the worry in her heart immediately filled her entire cheek.
She looked at her son-in-law again, whose expression was as calm as water, and cautiously tried to warn:
"Da Lang, you can't treat Da Zhi like your clan uncle, let alone allow others to bully her. She is the wife you are marrying after all. If you want to take a concubine one day, your mother-in-law is also sensible and won't
Interference, but the mother-in-law has to put her words first, you must never spoil your concubine and destroy your wife."
"Grandma, my father will not take concubines."
Before Lin Jinxiao could answer, Dabao Lin Ruiwen immediately responded.
He had just seen his father's firm eyes in the patriarch's home, and he had already sensed his determination.
He believed that his father must only care about his mother-in-law.
