Chapter 285: Sister-in-law
Chapter 285 Sister-in-law
Before I had time to visit the side courtyard behind the attic, the maids downstairs began to come up and urge: "Mistress, wife, the patriarch's wife has arranged a family banquet, and I asked the servants to invite the mistress."
Chu Nanzhi and Liu Yun hurriedly put on the shoes for the quadruplets, went downstairs together, and returned along the same road, to the living room of the outer courtyard, they saw a middle-aged woman in the room, and a young woman beside her .
Lin Tingzhen put down the teacup in his hand, got up quickly and introduced, "Nan Zhi, this is your aunt Zhou and cousin Jinhui."
Chu Nanzhi just bowed to the mother and daughter, but was grabbed by Mrs. Zhou.
When we met for the first time, Mrs. Zhou was not at all biased, and said enthusiastically: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, my aunt has heard of your name for a long time. I just met you today. It is really not easy. I will be at home later. You should eat more, my aunt has prepared a very rich meal for you today."
"I'm really bothering my aunt."
Chu Nanzhi looked at her so enthusiastically, but felt a little apprehensive.
The temperament of this woman and Lin Tingzhen were carved out of the same mold, and it really came true the old saying "it's not like a family doesn't stay in a house".
Lin Jinhui is also acquainted with herself, and she took Chu Nanzhi with her mother, Zhou, and began to praise Chu Nanzhi happily: "Sister-in-law is really beautiful, if our family is not too far away from brother Jinxiao's former home, I really want to see her every day." to see you."
"We will be neighbors from now on. Your sister-in-law is very powerful. You should learn from her more and come to your sister-in-law's house if you have nothing to do."
Mrs. Zhou was not polite either, and after she had finished admonishing her daughter, she regained her composure and asked Chu Nanzhi: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, don't think your sister-in-law is naughty. What I want to do is to wait for you to come over, so that I can be a company for Jinhui."
The mother and daughter spoke one sentence after another, and before Chu Nanzhi could reply, Liu Yun took the conversation again: "I heard that your son came to Beijing a few days ago, so there are only two mothers in the family now, right?"
"Yes, mother-in-law."
Zhou put aside Chu Nanzhi, went to hold Liu Yun affectionately, and replied with a smile: "Jin Yi's master is about to leave office, isn't there a vacancy for the position of the county labor officer? His master thinks that my Jin Yi He is a down-to-earth master, so I recommended him to Beijing at the beginning of the year, and I want Jin Yi to inherit his mantle. It has been several months and I think there will be news soon."
"The ancestors of the in-laws are from a family of pottery artists, and the son is worthy of the name as the county's chief engineer."
"Hey, how can it be compared with Jinxiao? If you want to talk about future prospects, it must be Jinxiao. The in-laws will be blessed in the future."
Mrs. Zhou started to walk out while supporting Liu Yun while talking, and the maids followed them with lanterns to illuminate the way.
Seeing this, Lin Jinhui also grabbed the corner of Chu Nanzhi's clothes, and motioned with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let's go there quickly."
"it is good."
Chu Nanzhi led the quadruplets to support Lin Jinxiao and Chu Wenbi, and followed the crowd towards Lin Tingzhen's house.
The distance between the two families is actually door-to-door, and you can see the main entrance of the patriarch's house when you leave the house.
Lin Jinxiao ordered Lin Tingzhen to lead Chu Wenbi into the courtyard, and waited for Chu Nanzhi to unlock the lock. He deliberately slowed down and stayed behind with her, and reminded in a low voice:
"The family banquet organized by the uncle today has different seats for men and women. I will take Dabao and Sanbao to the front hall, and Erbao and Sibao will go with you to the backyard. The third uncle's family is also in the backyard. You should be more careful."
Just now at the county government, Chu Nanzhi heard Lin Jinxiao warn his third uncle Lin Yuan, thinking that the mother and daughter of the Chen family dared to brazenly come to the county to make trouble today because they were instigated by the big Chen family.
Chen's mother and daughter have lost all face in front of the people in the county today. As an aunt, Da Chen must have some resentment.
Chu Nanzhi looked at Lin Jinxiao with a smile, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for her."
"I'm afraid you will suffer."
Lin Jinxiao's bright peach eyes blinked lightly, and he said worriedly: "These women in the county town are no more simple than the country people, especially the old ones of the Lin family, who are used to relying on their elders, so you don't have to pay attention to what they say later. "
After thinking for a while, he added: "I have just mentioned the matter of the maid to my uncle, so you don't have to worry about it."
"You are very thoughtful in everything."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him, and the thoughtfulness of the little white face was really touching.
Lin Jinxiao sighed softly: "I arranged for you to live in the old house. Naturally, I want to make your life more comfortable and not make you feel wronged."
"You still have to accept the kindness you deserve. I don't want people to think that I am a tigress, after all."
We are now divorced.
Looking around at the little guys around her, it was hard for her to say the last sentence clearly.
Lin Jinxiao didn't answer her, but smiled bitterly: "Let's go, let's go in."
Then each led the two little guys into the gate of the patriarch's house.
Entering the courtyard, the first thing that catches the eye is a row of slightly crude inverted houses. There are five or six men standing beside the eaves at the head of the house, holding lanterns in their hands, standing solemnly in a row.
The trembling firelight illuminated the yard very clearly.
Walking along the wing rooms of the outer courtyard, female envoys, large and small, who were scattered all over the place came up with lanterns and surrounded the group of people to the main hall.
Outside the main hall, Lin Jinhui, who was waiting at the door, saw the figure of Chu Nanzhi and the children, and led two maids to greet them with smiles, and eagerly wrapped her arms around Chu Nanzhi again, looked at Lin Jinxiao and said solemnly: " Brother Jinxiao, leave the sister-in-law to me, and I'll bring it back to you intact after the meal."
"Um."
Lin Jinxiao stared deeply at Chu Nanzhi, smiled softly, and led Dabao and Sanbao into the main hall first.
Lin Jinhui led Chu Nanzhi's mother and daughter to the main hall to greet several elders, and then went straight to the backyard.
"Most of the uncles from the uncle's family are out of town, but the uncles and aunts are very well together. Anyway, the people my father invited to accompany me today are not outsiders. Sister-in-law, please don't be cautious."
Lin Jinhui carefully inspected the surroundings, then suddenly stopped and approached Chu Nanzhi's ear, and whispered: "The second uncle and the third uncle are very nagging, sister-in-law must not give them a good face when she sees them."
Chu Nanzhi was taken aback when he heard that, this sister-in-law didn't seem like a gentle and dignified master, she would make such a bad move to herself the first time they met.
Seeing that there was no one around, she asked playfully, "How does Er Niang treat these elders when she sees them?"
Lin Jinhui put his hands behind his back, shook his slender wicker waist and smiled coyly: "Of course they respect me a foot and I respect them a foot. If they scold me, I will pay them back ten."
Sibao Lin Ruijia counted with her fingers, and said suspiciously: "Auntie, what if they scold you ten times?"
“.”
Lin Jinhui frowned blankly, then looked at the little guy with a warm smile: "No, I am not easy to provoke, your aunt."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a well-dressed woman in red warmly greeted her, stepped on the enchanting little snake steps, and asked with her cherry red mouth slightly twisted: "Second sister, is sister-in-law here?" ?"
