Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 6

After Lin Wenxi directly rejected what Mrs. Liu said, he didn't tell his wife, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable after hearing it, which would only increase her unhappiness.

Unexpectedly, on the day of October’s birthday, there were three tables in the front hall of the house. Apart from the children, there were a few distant relatives brought by Uncle Lin’s family from the village. During the meal, Mrs. Liu suddenly brought up this matter again in front of everyone.

When she was talking, she looked at Mrs. Lu at the next table, and after she finished speaking, she looked at the same table and invited a more prestigious old man from the village, her tone was very sincere, "Old man, tell me, what I said makes sense."

The son can't live without the incense of inheritance, and he doesn't say that he will divorce his daughter-in-law. After giving birth to seven daughters, if he still can't give birth to a son, he will adopt one. Her Liu family is not unreasonable. It's meat, and one is adopted from the eldest son to the second son. With the incense of inheritance, she can let go of her heart.

Mrs. Lu clenched the chopsticks tightly and was about to get angry. Lin Wenxi put down the chopsticks with a snap, and stood up with a sullen expression on his face, "Mother, I don't agree to this matter. Why do you bring it up? I, Lin Wenxi, can live without a son." All right, don't you want me to live a better life, to prevent the Lin family from being safe and secure, and to bring out the matter of adoption."

Instead of talking alone today, Mrs. Liu started making trouble for you directly. The opening sentence was, "What kind of evil did I do? I gave birth to such a disobedient son. Old Lin, why didn't you take me away?" , when you wanted to leave us orphans and widows, why didn’t you take me away too.” Saying this, she sat on the stool, beating her breast and tearing up her eyes, truly sad.

"Mother, don't be sad. My uncle doesn't like our children. It's because our children are not smart and don't have what it takes." Mrs. Chen stood up and helped Mrs. Liu, which was a comforting gesture. For the firewood, add it hard, add it hard.

Lin Wenxi looked directly at the standing Chen family, and said coldly, "Sister-in-law, you will talk to mother like this again from now on, this Lin family, don't come here either."

Chen Shi was startled, just about to start howling like her mother-in-law. The husband at the side stretched out his hand and pulled her hard. Chen Shi gave him a look, "Okay, just let your brother say that about me."

"What are you arguing about, don't you think it's messy enough?" Lin Wenlu warned her in a low voice, "Shut up your rotten heart."

When Mrs. Chen saw that her husband didn't support her so much, what did she want to say when she raised her voice? As soon as I uttered the words, Mrs. Lu stood up directly, not angry, but smiling, and turned to look at Mrs. Liu, "Mother! , Don’t you just want to hold a grandson, just give birth, I have given birth to seven of your daughter-in-law, and I don’t care how many more, if you want the master to have a son to inherit the incense, the daughter-in-law will give birth until the son is born.”

Mrs. Lu bit her words hard, her face was smiling, her mood was very cold, she glanced at Mrs. Chen, shrunk her eyes, and then looked at Mrs. Liu, "In the future, this adoptive Don't mention the matter, it's all done by people who can't have children, your daughter-in-law and I can have children, so I don't need others to do it for me."

Mrs. Lu got angry, and she was a bit like General Lu when she got angry. The arrogance between her brows was exactly the same as when Lin Wenxi was stalking her, when she was angry for the first time. With a wink, he looked at the people at the three tables and said, "It's my mother's birthday today, everyone eat and drink well."

He changed his face from black to white, and looked at everyone with a smile after a while. The elder who was named by Mrs. Liu didn't say a word, agreed or disagreed, whether it was reasonable or not, it was none of his business. It's just that he is highly respected in the village. In this Luodu city, in front of the great scholars, he can even point a fart. Hearing you say that he respects you, I really think that an old man in the village can order the famous people around the emperor in broad daylight.

So, he turned around and persuaded Mrs. Liu, "This Wenxi and his wife don't get along very well, and the child will be born after birth. Why do you say something about adoptiveness that makes their husband and wife feel at odds? This official, what? Things have to be taboo, but not as comfortable as in the village."

Mrs. Liu can't lose face now, isn't she celebrating her birthday today, isn't she a birthday star? Why is what she said being dismissed by her son and then by her daughter-in-law? Come over to persuade yourself, Mrs. Liu's face was gloomy and she didn't speak. On the small table over there, Lin Qingran and her second sister, Lin Qingyan, were holding a cup with fruit wine in it. They brought them over to toast Mrs. Liu. The little voice was crisp and loud, "I wish grandma a blessing like the East China Sea, and a long life than Nanshan. My granddaughter has made a toast to you."

It's a simple birthday in my own family, and there are not so many complicated understandings. After the salute is over, the wine is drunk, and the congratulations are done. It is a birthday gift for my grandfather.

Lin Qingyan also spent a lot of effort and gave her a pair of shoes. The soles are very thick, and the old people can walk a little. The thick soles make them comfortable to walk on. It is the best among several sisters.

Lin Qingran was young, and just learned how to embroider, so she embroidered a piece of handkerchief, focusing on the green bamboo on the edge of the handkerchief, which took her a lot of effort, much worse than her sister's, but at her age, That's good enough.

Mrs. Liu will no longer be able to maintain a calm face. The children come up one by one to congratulate and present birthday gifts. It can't sink anymore.

The meal has to be eaten, and the daughter-in-law said she gave birth to her mother, what else can she say?

As soon as Liu's birthday was over, the next day, the eldest son Lin Wenlu took his wife and children home early in the morning. In Luoying courtyard, Lin Qingran teased Xiao Qi who never stopped, watching her mother come in and go out, looking up and asking Mama Wang, who stayed in the house to take care of them, asked, "Is there something wrong with grandma?" She went in and out several times in the morning and asked for a doctor.

"Fifth Miss, it's the old lady who is a little sick, please ask the doctor to take a look."

Lin Qingran nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Who knows if this little ailment is a real illness or if she can't get off the stage and pretend to be sick.

However, Liu's ailment only lasted for a few days, probably because lying on the bed was too boring, and her firm body suddenly wanted to lie still for a few days, and Liu couldn't lie down, let alone the past I'm used to work, and I've been bored in the Lin Mansion for the past few years. Now that my son and daughter-in-law have said so, I haven't been able to find a concubine for five years. After recovering from illness, Mrs. Liu asked to go home.

The mother-in-law took the initiative to ask to live with the uncle of the Lin family. Naturally, Mrs. Lu respectfully packed her things and prepared a lot of food for her. Lin Wenxi also said that the eldest nephew's marriage will be well taken care of, so Mrs. Liu will do it now. He got into the carriage and sent him back to Uncle Lin's house in the town.

If you leave in the morning, you will be able to reach the small town outside Luodu in the afternoon, and the person who sent them to the Lin family sent a message at dusk, and they were relieved when they arrived.

Grandma left, and the family of six sisters breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoqi is still young, and she learned to clap from her sister. Lin Qingran said it in front of Lu Shi, with a long sigh, "Mother, you don't need to go to my grandmother to hear her tell me, I'm just a married woman." A daughter without incense."

Mrs. Lu poked her forehead and scolded with a smile, "It's not big or small, how can you talk like that, that's your grandmother too."

Lin Qingran grumbled, her seniority is natural, but in the past five years since she was born, she has not been less disgusted by her grandmother's words.

So Lin Qingran retorted, "Distance creates beauty." Only by not seeing each other often can she gradually cultivate the respect for the grandmothers.

Lu looked back at her, "What did you say?"

Lin Qingran shook her head hastily, "I said the town is not far away, and it's very convenient to come and go."

The daughter's birth was too spooky, which was also a headache. Lu was always worried that Xiao Wu was too bright and would suffer a big loss in the future, but her husband doted on this child the most, saying that she was like him, smart, and everything was the same. If you know how to teach, you will definitely be a great talented woman in the future. Those aristocratic families with profound backgrounds are not a problem!
Lin Wenxi has the capital of arrogance, so many children from aristocratic families have come to study at his door, his daughter must be better than them.

Lin Qingran didn't know that her mother was already worried that she was too smart. She played with her sister for a while, and then went back to her room to read. Recently, her father gave her a set of books about the history of the Feng'an Dynasty. , This is the same as she loved history when she was studying, she could always find some interesting things in it, and she could read it with gusto.

When the time comes when Dad asks, he still can't say that he understands everything. She is only five years old, so at least she should keep what a child should have, otherwise she will really scare her parents.
After Mrs. Liu came home, it was December soon, and Xiao Qi could already walk, and the one who babbled most in her mouth was her sister, how big her sister was at home.

After Laba, Mrs. Lu started to pack up her things, and would go back to the village to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Lin Qingran has never been to the village. When she was full moon, her grandmother lived in the Lin Mansion, so in those few years, the uncle of the Lin family brought the whole family here to pay New Year's greetings. Now that the grandmother has gone back, their family , I will go home to pay New Year's greetings.

Originally, they were supposed to go back on the [-]th, but Lin Wenxi and Lu's family were going to enter the palace on New Year's Eve, so they went directly on the first day of the new year, so Lu's family could visit the temple first in Luodu City.

On New Year's Eve, several temples in Luodu City are very lively, and there will be fireworks all over the city at midnight. However, Lin Qingran is young and the temple is crowded with people, so the Lu family did not let her go .

This year's New Year's Eve, waiting for both father and mother to enter the palace, the second girl of the Lin family took the fourth girl to go to the temple, leaving the eldest girl and the third girl to take care of the younger sisters. Heard the sound of fireworks.

The nanny, Mama Li, put on a small cloak for her, and Lin Qingran stepped on the snow in the yard. Not long after, when the time came, fireworks were set off from the palace to every house.

The night was about to be dispelled by these fireworks, the sky was brightly filled, Lin Qingran stood under the eaves, looking up with a blushing face, it's Chinese New Year, over there, grandma and uncle are having a good time.

When Lin Wenxi and Mrs. Lu came back, the children were all asleep, and the husband and wife also lay down after talking. They have to go back early tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings.
