Chapter 048 Lively

Day after day, year after year. On the night of New Year's Eve, Lin Zimo sat with Yang Mengqi, Chu Hanlu and Nalan. Yang Mengqi, who was about to fall into a ripe stomach, sat next to his father-in-law's right hand, while Chu Hanlu sat on the left. Nalanzhen and Lin Zimo sat looking at each other. Although I don't know how long I have to stay in the northwest, I have more or less in mind that I have an official position to benefit one side. Without a big banquet, he planned to spend the festival with his wives and concubines on this special day.

Although another period of time has passed, Nalan Zhen is still with Yang Mengqi, and Chu Hanlu is not too intimate. When Lin Zimo was present, she still showed the gentleness that a woman should have. After all, there were only two Qiang tribes left in Qingyang Prefecture, Nalan Jianye and Da Tianming. The arrogant Nalan really saw her husband in the battle in person and led the domestic slaves to break through a Qiang tribe in one fell swoop, and her tribe took over the territory of other tribes with the help of her and his in-laws.

Lin Zimo, who was in a good mood, felt the harmony and beauty of the family. He couldn't help pulling up a slender hand of Yang Mengqi and smiled and said, "My wife is still able to manage our family in an orderly manner and really hard. A toast to your husband." He slowly let go of her hand and took the opportunity to pick up the wine glass on the table.

Yang Mengqi, with a sweet smile, got his praise and raised his glass with both hands and said, "All this is the servant's job."

Lin Zimo, who touched a glass with her, raised his head slightly and drank it all. Yang Mengqi, who held the cup with his right hand and covered his mouth slightly with his left hand, drank a full cup with him. She slowly put down the glass in her hand, and Lan Xinhui knew that this was an affirmation of her own family. Yang Mengqi, whose ability is not weak, looked at his father-in-law, his eyes flowed and his heart was happy.

Nalanzhen, who took the initiative to stand up, took the wine pot of his maid Ula, slowly walked to the middle of Lin Zimo and Yang Mengqi, poured a glass of wine for them, and then gave it to her maid and sat back in her seat again. Lin Zimo, who didn't believe that she would change her mind, was still happy. After all, she felt that she was still clear about the occasion and knew the general knowledge.

Chu Hanlu, who suddenly shouted, hurriedly picked up his glass, looked at Lin Zimo, and said with a smile, "Brother Zimo, I give you a toast. I wish you a step-by-step promotion and all your wishes come true.

Lin Zimo, who smiled gently, was not in a hurry to hold up the glass, but touched her head and said, "Chu girl is beginning to be sensible."

"They have always been very sensible." Chu Hanlu, who pouted his little mouth, made some distinctions on the words.

Lin Zimo, who could not refute her face, picked up the glass again and drank a full glass with her. Nalanzhen, sitting next to him, stood up for the second time, took the wine pot in Ura's hand, walked to his side to fill his wine and walked back to his original position. In her opinion, she and Chu Hanlu are both Lin Zimo's concubines, and there is no reason to serve her.

Although I entered the door of Linfu a little late, I still feel that my identity is more noble than Chu Hanlu. She is the daughter of the leader of the Qiang tribe, and Chu Hanlu is just the daughter of a commoner of the Han family. As for Yang Mengqi, Nalan really respects her a little, which is due to the identity of the other party's wife and fate. Cailian, standing not far away, saw this scene, so he went to his master's side, poured the wine, and then slowly retreated back.

Lin Zimo, who knew in his heart, knew that this was a low-level and clear society, so he did not say a word more. The third time he picked up the glass, he looked at Na Lanzhen and drank another full glass with her with a smile. Yang Mengqi, who called Caiyue not far away, took the wine pot in her hand and poured a glass of wine for her father. Lin Zimo, who had just picked up his chopsticks, saw that the three women were taking the initiative to pick up vegetables in their bowls.

"Brother Zimo, this assorted duck meat was made for you by others." Chu Hanlu, with a proud face, smiled sweetly.

Lin Zimo looked at the food she put in the bowl and said, "Can you eat what you make?"

"It's annoying. They have tried it many times with great care." Chu Hanlu, who pouted her red lips slightly, still showed a confident look and said, "Brother Zimo, just taste it!"

Seeing that Lin Zimo was Yang Mengqi, who did not move chopsticks, he did not persuade him to eat the braised pork he made for him first, but said kindly for his little sister Chu Hanlu, "Sir, you might as well try the little girl's craftsmanship. She has indeed done it over and over again to surprise you. I'm sure it won't be wrong.

Chu Hanlu nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Zimo, just try it!" In order to cook this dish for you, my little hands almost got burned by oil several times.

Nalanzhen, who is not used to it, has both feelings for Lin Zimo and the interests of the family. He has to stand up and fight for his favor and said, "This roast mutton is the traditional food of our Qiang people. Son, can you give it a try and have an appetite? I baked it for you with fruit wood.

Lin Zimo, who held chopsticks in his right hand, found that three pairs of eyes were staring at him. He knew that the three women wanted to be the first to taste their craftsmanship. Lin Zimo, who feels that family affairs are more troublesome than serious things, is convinced that women have a petty nature. If you don't handle it properly, you will be complained that you have favored the other. Lin Zimo, who picked up the bowl in his left hand, put the food they put into his mouth together, and the feeling of three flavors naturally had another taste.

Yang Mengqi, who smiled, took out his handkerchief and wanted to wipe the oil flowers in his mouth for Lin Zi. Chu Hanlu and Na Lanzhen, who were not satisfied with his treatment, still did not leave him. Chu Hanlu grabbed his arm with both hands, and the little girl's temper came out again, requiring him to eat more food cooked for him.

Nalanzhen, who was anxious in his eyes, thought that Chu Hanlu pretended to be a fool to please and spoil Lin Zimo, so he said poorly, "Sister Chu, you let the prince eat your dishes, then Sister Yang's dishes will become the foil."

Yang Mengqi, who heard the taste, realized that she was provoking and smiled and said, "It's his freedom to eat that dish. As his woman, we are duty-abiding. It's useless to force his father-in-law to eat dishes that he doesn't like.

Lin Zimo, who was not stupid, heard the woman's thoughts, and Yang Mengqi defended Chu Hanlu, so he was unhappy with the confrontation between the two, so he knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks and said, "All three of you, please calm down a little. It's the New Year."

Chu Hanlu, who raised his head, kept turning his eyes and didn't care about it. He still picked up a chopstick of assorted duck meat for him and urged him, "Brother Zimo, eat more."

Lin Zimo, who saw her behavior, really felt that she was so stupid that she was salty. She wanted to know what she thought in her heart and said, "Little girl, aren't you afraid to offend your two sisters?"

Na Lanzhen and Yang Mengqi heard that their father-in-law had uncovered the layer of window paper, so they turned their eyes to Chu Hanlu. They want to know how she answers?

Chu Hanlu, who was unmoved, said puzzledly, "They have offended the two sisters. Brother Zimo, you must be wabling me."

Lin Zimo, who shook his head while smiling, moved his chopsticks, ate the assorted duck meat, and said with a smile, "Our girl is getting smarter and smarter, and she can see through me at a glance that I'm waving you."

Chu Hanlu, who looked proud, didn't hear that he was saying the opposite, so he picked up a lot of assorted duck meat for him. Lin Zimo, who received all the orders, ate it all happily. He will not forget to eat braised pork and roast mutton, after all, these two dishes are also good. I realized that three women are a play.

Although Nalan really has the meaning of flirting with Chu Hanlu in language, she is not too much and knows the proportion. I'm not afraid of being alone at home, but more and more concerned about what Lin Zimo thinks of her.

Yang Mengqi, who is dedicated to Chu Hanlu, will not deliberately quarrel with Nalanzhen. After all, she has not threatened her status. Predictively, she learned that the Chu brothers had done a good job in the army and were promoted one after another. Ten years, 20 years later, if your official position becomes higher and higher, the family will be more lively. Behind the women in his room is the rise and fall of a family.

Lin Zimo, who didn't think so far-reachingly, valued the family happiness in front of him and said harmoniously, "After dinner, let's set off firecrackers together."

Chu Hanlu patted his hands and shouted happily, "Okay, I like setting off firecrackers the most."

Lin Zimo, with a smile on her face, looked at her innocent face and suddenly had another taste in her heart. He looked at Yang Mengqi again, but Na Lanzhen was less worried. After dinner, Chu Hanlu, who did not use tea, went outside to set off firecrackers with Lin Zimo's permission. Standing in the courtyard, she was surrounded by many young men and maids in the house.

"You go back to the house first! I'll come to your place a little later." Lin Zimo, who wanted to sit alone with Yang Mengqi for a while, wanted to make up for Na Lanzhen a little, so he told him with a peaceful face.

Nalanzhen, who bowed up, was happy in his heart and saluted the two of them without saying much. He turned around and left directly.

Lin Zimo, who sent out all the maids in the room, said honestly, "It seems that my wife still doesn't like Nalanzhen."

"I don't like it or like it. The father-in-law should be clear. The two of them are completely different. Yang Mengqi, who smiled faintly, said, "If I don't stand on the side of Chu girl, I'm afraid she will often be bullied by Nalanzhen."

After listening to her words, Lin Zimo was silent for a moment. After all, he realized that there was an offensive element in Nalan's real personality.
