Chapter 88 Raising

,
Just after arriving at the gate of the Lin family, Lu Jianzhong, the second master of the Lu family, and Lu Shao, the eldest son of the Lu family, greeted them up. After saluting in front of Mrs. Lin's sedan, Fang led Master Lin and other male guests to the outer courtyard to drink and watch the play, and the women continued
Compared with the listlessness of the Lin family, the whole Lu family seems to be particularly energetic. There were lights everywhere, people came and went, and everyone had a bright smile on their faces. Even the doorkeepers changed into new clothes they wore on New Year's Day, which made the Lin family feel a little uncomfortable.
Lin Yuzhen stood at the second gate early and waited. As soon as she saw Mrs. Lin's sedan chair stop, she quickly greeted her and helped her down in person. The spring breeze greeted the people behind her: "My old lady asked several times, but it was over. The banquet was ready early, and she also invited someone to sing a small
Judging from the play, it's all your own flesh and blood. Be sure to have fun.
No matter what everyone thinks, they have to cheer up to greet and congratulate them, so they laugh everywhere, so it's so lively.
Mrs. Lin held Lin Yuzhen's hand and said, "Your father is not happy, so he won't come. Tell your father-in-law later and don't make him unhappy." Lin Yuzhen knew the reason, so she sighed in a low voice: "So does my father. My family still cares so much. I was just afraid that it would be like this, so I specially invited you to sit down in advance. Are you still angry with me? "Don't be a bad son." Mrs. Lin's heart is also extremely sore and sad, but the daughter was also born by her. Although Lu Yan is not her daughter's own child, at least she is the daughter's son. In the future, she has to rely on him for the elderly, so she has to laugh and said, "You stupid child He is happy for you in his heart, but he is angry with your nephews. I didn't want to talk about this with Lin Yuzhen anymore. I looked around and said, "Where's Lu Yan's child?" Your father asked me to bring him a good inkstone. Let him see if he likes it or not.
Only then did everyone notice that Lu Yan did not follow Lin Yuzhen and Lu Yun to welcome guests outside, so they asked. Luo Shi's voice was louder: "Yes, we just came to see him. Why didn't he come out? Are you shy?"
Lin Yuzhen smiled faintly and said, "He hasn't come home yet."
Dow said strangely, "Well, the other children have arrived home. Why hasn't he come home yet?"
Lin Yuzhen's face flashed with a trace of displeasure, and she was too lazy to answer Dow's words.
Lu Yun hurriedly said, "My brother met several friends he had met in the south in Taiming Mansion, and made an appointment to play there for a few days to catch up."
Luo Shi said urgently, "What should I do without him on the day of hospitality the day after next?" Lin Yuzhen was a little annoyed and reluctantly said, "He will come back at that time." Lu Yun showed a trace of worry in his eyes. He gently pulled Lin Yuzhen's sleeve. Lin Yuzhen was depressed for a moment before he cheered up and asked Mrs. Lin, "What kind of play do you want to see? I asked someone to prepare immediately.
Mrs. Lin looked at her and said slowly, "You are confused. Today is a happy event for your family. We are guests who come to congratulate each other, and we should focus on your mother-in-law."
Lin Yuzhen's face unexpectedly showed a little grievance, and she didn't say anything, and firmly supported Mrs. Lin to go in. Everyone saw that she was not in a good mood, so they didn't dare to say anything like before.
Enter the two doors" "As thin as firewood, wearing jujube red Yunmin brocade, Mrs. Lu in a long blue dress was helped out by Mrs. Lu's Mrs. Song and Mrs. Lu's Mrs. Lu's Mrs. Tu with a smile and gasping for breath, "In-laws, there There is a distant welcome!" Mrs. Lu's body is not good. She will be raised all year round and basically doesn't go out. If it weren't for such a festive thing, I'm afraid she wouldn't show up. When Mrs. Lin saw her, she had to go forward to help her. She said angrily, "You too." You are not an outsider. You are so polite and have gone so far."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Because I'm not an outsider, I want to welcome you more. I'm not in good health on weekdays, and I'm already very lazy. Is it possible that my in-laws have come to the door, and I still can't sit still? It's so true that it's outrageous!" Lu Er's wife Song Zai smiled and said, "My mother-in-law is in good spirits when she is happy. Since she received the good news,
More than half of the diseases have gone."
Lu Yan's biological mother, Mrs. Lu San, Tu Shi, laughed and said, "I haven't had such a happy event at home for a long time. It's really happy. I learned that "I can't sleep all night."
"I got the good news before I slept peacefully! At this time, I was relieved and finally had an explanation. After so many years of hard work, "It's not in vain!" Lin Yuzhen smiled and glanced at Tu Shi with great disgust. So happy that you can't sleep? People who don't know think she is Lu Yan's mother, right?
The smile on Tu's face suddenly stagnated, showing some embarrassment, loneliness and sadness.
Lin Yuzhen turned a blind eye. He put his hand to Mrs. Lu and squeezed Tu aside silently.
Tu Shi didn't argue. He was a few steps behind the crowd and stood there in a dazzle, and his eyes turned red. My own son is promising, and my biological mother doesn't even have the right to be happy, and it's unreasonable to be bullied by such a run.
Everyone knew the injustice between the two of them. Seeing this situation, they more or less sympathized with Tu Shi, and felt that Lin Yuzhen was too stingy and domineering. Although Lu Yan passed by, Lin Yuzhen's sons are all sons in the patriarchal law, but this bloodline family affection can't be cut off. After robbing someone's son, some things have been done too much and prevented too tightly, which will be counterproductive. Why?
Thinking back, no one will persuade Lin Yuzhen on such an occasion, so they just pretend to be dizzy or watch the fun with great interest.
Lu Yun frowned slightly and was about to persuade Tu, but he was caught by Lin Yuzhen. Lin Yu,
Zhen stared at her daughter with warning, looked at Tu Shi with a smile and shouted, "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Tu Shi sucked his nose, raised his eyes and looked at the crowd and reluctantly smiled: "I'm fine, but I suddenly feel a little tired."
Lin Yuzhen smiled viciously: "I'm afraid I didn't sleep last night!" Since you are uncomfortable, you should be careful to rest. In autumn, you are old again, and your body is not good. Beware of a small illness causing a serious illness. Isn't that our fault? Tu Shi gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Yuzhen angrily. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find anything to say. He took a rest before squeezing out a sentence: "Sister-in-law is really kind-hearted." Mrs. Lu frowned slightly, glanced at her two daughters-in-law, and said unhappily, "If you feel uncomfortable, go down and rest. You don't have to serve them later."
Mrs. Lin also stared at Lin Yuzhen dissatisfiedly, pinched her secretly, and said almost inaudiblely, "What will happen if you are generous? This is a disgrace to everyone." Lin Yuzhen lowered her eyes and was still unlucky. Lu Yan has been her son for a long time. She raised him with painstaking efforts. She found so many famous teachers for him in the south of the Yangtze River. Sooner or later, she stayed with him to study, teach him how to be a man, and worked hard for his food, clothing, housing and transportation. She spent all her efforts to get today. Does this Dreaming!
Lu Er's wife, Song, quickly came forward to round the scene, stabilized the heartbroken Tu, turned around and smiled at the crowd and said, "The third sister is uncomfortable, so I will take care of her. You can rest assured to play."
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Mrs. Lu's eyes, nodded gently, and asked the Lin family to go in.
Lin Yuzhen glanced at her two sister-in-law disdainfully, raised her head high, and greeted her mother's family loudly.
After moving forward for a long time, Lin Jinrong looked back, but saw that Song and Tu were still standing under the sycamore tree. Tu leaned his head on Song's shoulder, and Song patted her gently on the shoulder and whispered something.
Lin Jinyin whispered, "This Mrs. Lu Er is really a sweet and good person." Lin Jinrong said "um" without hesitation and quickly turned his head. Is the Song family a sweet and good person? She didn't know that only her memory was the pale but calm face of the Song family after Lu Lun's death. Of course, there was also the soft comfort of the Song family after Ning'er's death, but there was also the outstanding eloquence of the Song family when she was advised to take out the dowry, and the family ignored her when
Are there any pure good people in the world? Lin Jinrong shook his head gently. Once in her eyes, most people were good people. Just one sentence made her think that the other party was a good person, so she believed the other party, but now, she doesn't think so.
The seat of the Lu family is located in the Begonia Hall. Begonia Hall, as the name implies, is full of carefully cultivated begonias, which are red, pink and white, and the leaves are light green, dark green, light brown, dark brown and purple red, which looks like a cluster of brocade, which is very appropriate.
After everyone sat down, the carefully prepared dishes were delivered in a flowing way, including fruits, vegetables, fish and shrimp, mountain treasures, game, as well as Dongyang wine and lychee wine from Rongzhou, Sichuan. More than a dozen servants and maids perform their duties, quietly and orderly to serve the crowd, without any noise, the hall ** platform is lively, and there is a lot of wealth and joy.
Lin Jinyin looked at it for a while, and Ran whispered in Lin Jinrong's ear, "It's already so luxurious. If you pass the exam, I don't know how to be lively it?"
What can I do? The Lu family is a big family in Pingzhou, but it can't be compared with those big clans outside. What's the great thing? That year, Lu Yan was admitted to Jinshi. He just set up a seat in this Begonia Hall, and the food was nothing more than that. He just set up a table for a few days in a row and sang for a few days. Lin Jinrong smiled faintly, sipped all the lychee wine in the glass elegantly, and advised attentively, "Sister, try this lychee wine, which is rare to taste on weekdays."
"Drink less." Jing Jinyin really took a sip and laughed in a low voice, "It's pretty good."
Lu Yun whispered to Lin Liu: "... I just got the second place in the exam. I was a little unhappy. I brought a letter back, saying that I wanted to relax around.
Grandfather agreed, but his mother didn't agree, so he asked someone to pick it up. He will probably be able to come back in the future.
