Chapter 340: Popularity nourishes people (recommended votes will be added)
Author: Three Avocados
Mrs. Dong had never seen the ladies before, and they all said hello to each other under Mrs. Feng's introduction, and they all became familiar with each other.
It is true that she was born as a merchant, but no one dares to look down on her now.
Not to mention that her son and daughter are all important people to the emperor, but she herself also has a destiny.
In addition, she has a gentle temperament and can speak eloquently.
Therefore, among all the noble ladies, she is very at home.
Maybe it's because of the red aura that nourishes people. Mrs. Dong today doesn't look as gloomy as before.
Just say she is a young woman in her twenties, I am afraid some people will believe her.
The front hall was bustling, but Lin Muzhi's courtyard was somewhat silent.
Although Mr. Dong and Mrs. Dong are senior, they are all subordinates in front of the emperor.
Moreover, the two elders had not had much dealings with the emperor before, so they were still a little more cautious.
Fortunately, the fourth princess is very discerning and knows how to solve problems.
The atmosphere became brighter as they spoke.
"I have heard my mother-in-law say before that her maternal grandfather's family is easy to get along with. Today I met the two elders. They are indeed kind people. They look good and are in good spirits."
"The fourth princess is ridiculous. Now that she has become a grandparent, she has to be neither crazy nor stupid, nor a family man."
Mr. Dong's teasing made the scene heated up.
The fourth princess also replied.
"Hey, you old man is not crazy or stupid, I can't tell."
Lin Wanyi came forward and joked.
"Grandpa is going strong and strong. The whole family hopes that you and grandma will live a long life, so that our family can be more lively."
Speaking of the excitement, among the grandchildren, only Lin Wanyi and Lin Xingzhi are married.
It is not clear when Lin Xingzhi had a child, so the eldest great-grandson at the moment is the second prince.
This is the second time for Mr. Dong to see the children.
His formerly serious face was filled with kindness.
So he opened his mouth and said jokingly to himself.
"If you want to talk about the excitement, you have to look at the children. If I can really live to be a hundred years old, as my mother-in-law said, then I will have to watch the birth of my great-great-grandchildren!"
The second prince had more contact with Mrs. Dong and Dong's grandmother in the past.
Very little is known about this great-grandfather.
But some people just have a sense of intimacy.
People will feel good about you as soon as they meet you.
This was the case with the great-grandfather of the Dong family.
So the second prince smiled and said.
"Don't worry, great-grandfather, I will grow up quickly, get married and have children as soon as possible, and give you great-great-grandchildren!"
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
Children as young as seven or eight years old still don't know anything among the people.
But in the royal family, arrangements for marriage begin at the age of eleven or twelve, and marriage can be discussed at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
Therefore, Aunt Ji also said that when the New Year is over, the Second Prince will have to look at the maids who are waiting around him.
You have to be honest and well-behaved, but also have a good appearance and temperament.
Hard to find.
You have to prepare in advance.
A place with children will not be deserted.
The chatting and laughing passed naturally.
The emperor deliberately showed some kindness, but when he saw that the two elders of the Dong family were still a little restrained, he was just thinking about leaving the table to let everyone relax, when he saw someone coming from outside.
Passing through the corridor, Uncle Lin and Mrs. Dong came over.
Behind him was his youngest son Lin Muzhi.
His appearance is very similar to Prime Minister Lin. At first glance, I thought he was Prime Minister Lin in his youth.
The emperor was in a daze for a moment, but soon regained consciousness.
When the second prince saw Lin Muzhi, he couldn't hide his excited expression.
The three of them came forward immediately and knelt down to say hello.
"Wei Chen has met the emperor, met the empress, and met the four princesses."
"My wife has met the emperor, the empress, and the four princesses."
"The common people have seen the emperor, the empress, and the four princesses."
The whole family saluted with great respect. The emperor had not noticed anything before, but Lin Wanyi was standing aside and spoke.
"Today, regardless of whether you are a monarch or a minister, we are just talking about household matters. Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin do not need to be polite."
Lin Wanyi didn't want her parents and younger brothers to kneel down to her all the time, which would cause an indescribable alienation.
"Yes, Wei Chen knows."
Uncle Lin replied, and then continued.
"The banquet has been prepared, and the ministers have sent it over. I wonder if the emperor would like to take a few sips? The wines prepared at home today are all folk wines. Although they are not as good as the fine wines in the palace, they still have charm.
"
Hearing what Uncle Lin said, the emperor said "hmm".
He is not a drunkard, but to be honest, he has never drank a lot of folk wine.
So I still plan to try it.
As soon as his voice fell, the maids at the back filed in to serve the food.
Everyone has a wedding dumpling made of red silk hanging around their waist.
"I hope your Majesty won't be offended by this simple man."
The emperor smiled lightly and then said.
"It doesn't matter."
Dong Yuzhong came up as usual and tried all the dishes.
Then he began to serve the emperor.
Probably only the emperor was happy with this meal.
Except for the fourth princess and Lin Wanyi, everyone present was at a loss as to how to use chopsticks.
Seeing this, the emperor stood up.
"I went out a little early today, but is there a yard where I can rest?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Uncle Lin immediately nodded and replied.
"Yes, yes, we have prepared a courtyard for the emperor and empress in advance. I will send you there right away."
The emperor waved his hand, pointed at someone at random and said.
"Let him lead the way. Concubine Yi Ning hasn't been with her family for a long time. Just keep talking."
"yes."
The boy named was also a clever man.
Lead the way as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty."
As soon as the emperor left, everyone in the scene relaxed a lot.
Lin Wanyi remembered what she had just promised to the second prince.
Then he said to his younger brother Lin Muzhi.
"The second prince wants to play in the front hall, so my brother can accompany him. Remember not to go to crowded places."
"Okay! Second sister, don't worry."
Lin Muzhi took the second prince's hand and left the courtyard, followed by Grandma Ji and Xiao Luzi.
There were several guards with good martial arts accompanying him, so Lin Wanyi didn't worry too much.
As for the other children, they have already been sent for lunch break.
Seeing that their family had something to say, the fourth princess made an excuse and went to the front hall.
At this point, Lin Wanyi finally sat and talked with her family.
"Have grandpa and grandma had enough to eat? Why don't we let them serve some hot food?"
Lin Wanyi could tell at a glance that everyone was cautious and didn't have enough to eat.
So I suggested it.
Dong also meant the same thing. If the emperor sat at the same table with them, who would dare to eat the meal?
In addition, it is a very cold day now, so even if there is a charcoal brazier in the house, the food is still a little cold at the moment.
