The banquet outside the hall was very lively. Inside the hall, Lin Boyong, Lin Bonian and others returned to the banquet and sat down again.
"Second brother's words tonight made them all excited. Listen, there is laughter and joy outside. It's very lively. I feel ashamed for my brother. I have never seen them so happy in all the years I have been the head of the family." Lin Boyong sighed.
Lin Bonian smiled and said: "Brother, you are the head of the family, so naturally you have to be calm and steady, otherwise how can you control the situation? I know that the Lin family does not have you in charge, and I don't know what it will be like now. Brother, please don't say these things. Remember dad back then
Have you said something before? There is a right way to relax, ups and downs complement each other, and movement and quietness are appropriate. If a family or a country has radicals, it must have calmness. If there is literature, there must be force. This is the way of harmony. Besides, we are also here at this table.
There is no need to say hypocritical words. In order to unite the owners of the outbuildings in our main house, we need to pay equal attention to kindness and power, and make rewards and punishments clear. We cannot make them resentful, and we cannot make them too frivolous. In short, this degree is very important.
"
Lin Boyong nodded and said: "That's right. Bonian has learned a lot in these years. I need to teach Ke'er and the others more about these things."
Lin Ke and others hurriedly said: "Yes, my second uncle should come back often and teach us more."
Lin Bonian smiled and waved his hands, his eyes fell on Lin Jue who was sitting beside him eating vegetables, and asked with a smile: "Lin Jue, why don't you speak?"
Lin Jue raised his head and said with a smile: "The second uncle is talking to the head of the family, how can my nephew interrupt? Just listen."
Lin Bonian smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the plaque given by the Holy Spirit and my appointment as the imperial envoy are all related to you. You are very good. I talked about you with the head of the family in the afternoon. I didn't expect that you have done so much in the past year.
Several shocking events have really raised eyebrows. To be honest, we did ignore you before, but you also know that there is a reason for that. However, we will care more about you in the future, and hope that you will not treat us badly.
I feel resentful, there are some things that the head of the family is in a difficult position with, I hope you can understand."
Lin Jue said with a smile: "What did the second uncle say? How can I have resentment towards the Lin family? My surname is Lin, which determines my identity as a descendant of the Lin family. If the Lin family is prosperous, our Lin family will have a good life. This
I still understand the reason."
Lin Bonian nodded and said: "Very good, I know you are right in your heart, so don't mention everything before. From now on, the Lin family must work together. I think the turning point for our Lin family is about to come. Lin Jue
, you are a leader among the next generation, you must set an example. The head of the family, I and your brothers will fully support you."
Lin Jue looked at the ugly-looking young masters of the eldest house and said with a smile: "I don't need to tell you, second uncle, I will work hard. For myself and for the Lin family."
Lin Bonian nodded and sighed: "Looking at how sensible you are, my third brother would definitely be very happy if he were still alive. Alas, it's a pity that my third brother died so early that he couldn't see you grow up."
Lin Boyong also nodded and said: "Yes, but if Lin Jue succeeds, his third brother will be able to rest in peace."
Lin Ke suddenly raised his glass to toast Lin Bonian and said with a smile: "Why are we talking about this all the time? Today is a big day. My second uncle is returning home from a long way. We should have a drink with him. Come on, I'll accompany him first.
A glass of wine for the second uncle. We brothers take turns to toast the second uncle. Don’t worry about the second uncle’s drinking capacity. Together, we are no match for him.”
Lin Bonian laughed and said: "You kid, you are still so naughty in your thirties. Do you remember how you got your second uncle drunk when you were kids? Are you here to stir up trouble again?"
"How dare you? How dare you, my nephew, stir up trouble? Isn't that asking for trouble?" Lin Ke smiled and drank up the wine.
Although Lin Bonian said that, he still drank the wine in one gulp. Lin Song and Lin Run also toasted separately. When they arrived at Lin Jue, Lin Jue stood up with a tea cup in his hand to toast, and Lin Ke made a gesture.
With his eyes, Lin Song understood immediately.
"Lin Jue, do you really want to toast your second uncle with tea? I know you are ill, but your second uncle praises you like a flower. Even if you lie down after drinking this glass of wine, you still have to toast. With you
Do you treat your elders like this?"
Lin Jue was stunned. Lin Bonian waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's take care of him when he is sick. My family doesn't need to be more polite."
"Isn't that possible? We are all toasting, but it's not allowed for him to be toasting tea. Didn't the second uncle say that he is the best among the younger generations and wants to set an example? Is this an example? Doesn't it matter if he is a little sick?" Lin Song said.
"Boy, are you drunk?" Lin Boyong shouted.
"Dad, I'm not drunk, I just can't stand him looking like this. What's the point? Isn't there some credit? We all remember the things you did. Lin Quan's wife and children were separated because of you.
You are still bored in Shaoxing now. Do you think that no one knows about the intrigues you played? My father and second uncle have forgiven you, but we will not forgive you." Lin Song shouted.
"Second brother, don't shut up!" Lin Boyong shouted sternly.
"That's right. You've done a few things and it's been a big deal. Did you discuss it with us when you went to fight the bandits? What good will it do to my Lin family if you offend the bandits? What if it doesn't succeed? Wouldn't my Lin family be in trouble as well? Dad, you
Didn't I say that Lin Jue acted in his own way, which was outrageous and caused a lot of trouble for the Lin family. Moreover, this time he didn't say a word when fighting the pirates, and his father didn't even ask him. Is this still the Lin family? In his mind
He doesn’t regard himself as a member of the Lin family at all. He wishes his surname was not Lin. If my eldest brother hadn’t told me, I would have..."
"Second brother, shut up, when did I tell you?" Lin Ke shouted.
"You weren't that day..." Lin Song said in shock.
"Shut up!" Lin Ke shouted.
Lin Song quickly shut up, not knowing where he had offended his eldest brother. Lin Jue sneered in his heart. Lin Song was slipping away and involved Lin Ke. How did Lin Ke know something that Lin Boyong didn't even know?
? He obviously got the plan by snooping around. How could Lin Ke let Lin Song tell him about it?
Lin Bonian's face was ashen. He did not expect that Lin Song would start making a fuss in front of him. In fact, what Lin Song said was also said by Lin Boyong in the afternoon, and Lin Bonian also felt that Lin Jue's actions were somewhat inappropriate. But
Lin Jue is different now. Judging from the methods he used in the Lin family, this kid is a powerful character. Moreover, his two risky actions show that he is by no means an idle person. Under the current situation, uniting Lin Jue is the only way.
Choice, so Lin Bonian persuaded Lin Boyong not to be biased against Lin Jue, but to use Lin Jue's relationship with the palace and Yan Zhengsheng to benefit the Lin family. That's why Lin Bonian praised Lin Jue so much and said those words of forgetting the past.
.But with Lin Song interfering like this, it seems that things are going to get ugly.
Lin Jue slowly put down the teacup, picked up a wine glass, filled it with wine and said, "Second brother is teaching me that I was rude. Second uncle, I'd like to toast you a glass."
Lin Bonian waved his hand and said: "No need..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Jue had already finished his drink. After putting down the wine cup, Lin Jue bowed and said: "Master, second uncle, and several brothers. It seems that I am affecting your mood here, so I'd better go outside and talk to you.
Let’s go together with my uncles and brothers. However, I have a few words to say. I, Lin Jue, do have my own way of doing things, and I did do some things that made you unhappy before. But you should ask yourselves, what are the circumstances of those things?
What happened next? Whose fault is it? I was just forced to do it. As for the things about fighting bandits and pirates, I didn’t expect that they could be blamed on me. If someone hadn’t messed up the matter, the Queen Mother would have done it.
I have lost all my birthday gifts, so I won’t go to any lengths. Everything I do is to save the Lin family. The Lin family may not care about me, a bastard of three houses, but I will always be a member of the Lin family. This is my true words, believe it or not.
Whatever you think, whatever you think. As for the plan to fight pirates, that is a military secret. My second uncle is here, and you should know that even parents, brothers, wives and children have to hide such things, how can you talk nonsense? But even so, don't you still?
Do you know? Someone tipped me off on the island, causing me to almost die there. The government is already investigating this matter strictly. I hope it is not my Lin family. Finally, I want to say something, the head of the family, the second uncle, then
You'd better not hang up the plaque. Once it's hung up, you can't take it off. Once it's hung up, there's no way out. After saying this, Lin Jue left."
Lin Juegong cupped his hands, stood up, left the table, and walked out of the hall.
Lin Bonian felt very embarrassed that a lively family dinner ended so unhappy. Lin Boyong was also embarrassed. He wanted to show Lin Bonian a united and harmonious Lin family. However, in reality,
But he was slapped in the face again and again. In Lin Boyong's view, Lin Song's words at the banquet were certainly inappropriate, but Lin Jue was really ignorant. As a concubine of three wives, couldn't he lower his profile? Could it be that
As an elder brother, you can't swallow your anger after saying a few words? And some of Lin Song's words are right. Lin Jue does go his own way. Maybe he, the head of the family, has no place at all in his eyes.
"This Lin Jue, hey!" Lin Boyong's long sigh contained a variety of meanings, and was also full of dissatisfaction and helplessness.
Lin Bonian sat there with a frown on his face. He was no longer interested in drinking. Although Lin Bonian was unhappy with the situation he faced, he did not let his unhappiness turn into anger and go to his head. On the contrary,
He was thinking about Lin Jue's words.
"Brother, they are just bickering. It is normal for brothers to have some conflicts. Didn't we sometimes argue out of anger between the two of us back then? Brother, don't worry about this."
"Hey! As the head of the family... I'm afraid I'm an incompetent head of the family..." Lin Boyong sighed to himself.
"Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have argued with him. But this kid is too..." Lin Song said hurriedly.
"Shut up! You deliberately stirred up trouble tonight. Your second uncle has already said to forget about it, but you still bring it up again. Don't you know that there is a reason for what happened before? It's not easy to calm down.
But you still want to mention it because you are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. You bastard." Lin Boyong cursed angrily.
Lin Song grinned and wanted to defend himself, but looking at Lin Boyong's angry face, he didn't dare to say any more.
"Dad, it's not entirely the second uncle's fault. Dad, second uncle, don't you think Lin Jue is incompatible with us? And he can't be offended. He just said a few words and walked away regardless of the situation. What did he think of dad and second uncle?"
It was the same today at the Nuanfeng Building. In front of so many adults, he came late and even said in public that he would rather defy the decree and go to jail than go on a parade. It made people feel that he was too pretentious. It was really
I don’t know what he is thinking." Lin Ke said.
Lin Boyong frowned and said nothing. Lin Bonian shook his head and said: "Lin Ke, you can't say this nonsense. His reasons are tenable. He is ashamed of the people on Guishan Island. This is exactly what he has done."
Performance. I think there is nothing wrong with what he said."
"For the sake of those bandits? Second uncle, I have heard some rumors that he has some connections with the Guishan Island bandits. It is said that there seems to be some confusion between him and the female bandit leader." Lin Ke said solemnly.
.
"Boss, shut up. Can you say these nonsense? Especially in the current situation, the remaining bandits on Guishan Island have started to cause chaos again. Do you want the Lin family to be accused of being a bandit? Do you want to ruin it?
Lin family? When did you become so insignificant?" Lin Boyong shouted.
Lin Ke said hurriedly: "Dad, I didn't mean that. It's because my relatives are here that I dare to say it."
Lin Boyong snorted coldly: "Don't say it. Don't say it under any circumstances. If you say it, the lie will become true. "
