Chapter 252: Mother-in-law Arrives
On this day, the first army of the Yu clan who had been guarding the battlefield in the south returned triumphantly, the winter of slaughter, the snowy streets, the neat and uniform army swept through the streets in the middle of the people's welcome, the cold armor on the soldiers seemed to be glowing, reflecting a solemn face, looking straight ahead, it was daunting from afar.
Seeing that the people secretly admired in their hearts, this is the Yu army.
At the front of the army, on a few tall horses, sat proudly several majestic generals of different ages.
The eldest in the middle is Yu Chi, the current head of the Yu clan, although he is old, but his steady posture only makes people feel old and strong, and there is no trace of old age at all, and his immovable face is full of majesty.
On the left and right of the old general were the eldest son Yu Ziheng and the second grandson Yu Shangguo, and the other two generals next to the Yu clan followed Yu Ziheng and Yu Shangguo respectively, and the second row behind followed the Yu brothers of the younger generation of the Yu family, all of them were energetic and majestic.
When the army was halfway there, several fast horses came rushing ahead.
The leader was a eunuch in palace clothes, holding a bright holy decree in his hand: "The emperor's decree!" β
As soon as it fell, everyone held their breath and knelt down in unison, and the generals in front of them flew off their horses neatly, kneeling on one knee with both hands clenched into fists.
"Since the Yu clan has defended southern Xinjiang, they have repeatedly retreated from the enemy, and they have a way to win the enemy, winning thousands of miles away, and they have worked hard and made great achievements. Now Xuan Yuchi, Yu Ziheng, Yu Zifang, Yu Shanglin, Yu Shangguo four people into the palace to face the saint, the above military information, on meritorious deeds! β
"The last will obey!"
* General's Palace.
Jin Xin stood there with his head bowed, and on the carved couch in front of him sat an old woman with famous sideburns like silver, who was the old lady Yu who had not been seen for many years.
After many years, goodbye to Mrs. Yu, Jin Xin obviously felt that the old man in front of her was not as kind to herself as she was back then, on the contrary, from the eyes that had precipitated the years, she even saw a little pickiness and hostility.
Even so, she simply didn't look at the old lady's face, always lowered her head, and was silent.
On the side of the old lady Yu, there are the eldest daughter-in-law Yu Zhao and the grandson Yu Shangzhi.
Yu Zhao has always been obedient to her mother-in-law, the old lady did not speak, and she did not take the initiative to talk to Jin Xin, but Yu Shangzhi was very enthusiastic, and looked at Jin Xin's eyes from the moment he entered the door, showing a little joy, and took the initiative to talk to Jin Xin several times, but unfortunately, he was secretly stopped by his mother next to him, but despite this, he did not change his good impression and friendly attitude towards Jin Xin.
"Madam, we brought the young master and the young lady here."
Ziqin and Ziqi walked out of it with Fengfeng and Lei Lei in their arms, respectively.
Jin Xin turned around, and before she could speak, the old lady on the couch beckoned and said, "Bring it over and I'll take a look." β
Ziqin and Ziqi were stunned for a moment, looked at Jin Xin one after another, and saw Jin Xin nodding, so they hugged the child over.
Because it was two children, the old lady couldn't hold it alone, so Yu Zhao stepped forward to help hug Lei Lei and came to the old lady to show her.
The old lady held Fengfeng in one hand, while looking at Lei Lei who was hugged by her eldest daughter-in-law, and after seeing the child's smiling little face, the tense face only eased slightly, revealing a smile.
Yu Shangzhi also leaned over, reaching out to tease the child's face from time to time, and said with a smile: "It's so cute!" Look, grandmother, how beautiful these two children look! β
The old lady smiled from ear to ear, with pride in her eyebrows: "That's natural, you don't look at whose child this is!" β
"Also, my second uncle and aunt are both dragons and phoenixes among people, where will their children be bad!"
Yu Shangzhi responded smoothly.
The old lady frowned slightly after hearing this, as if she felt that there was something wrong with her words, and then raised her eyes and glanced at Jin Xin.
Although it was only a glimpse, Jin Xin caught the disgust in the old lady's eyes sharply.
Scold.
When she was asked to marry Yu Shangqi as a concubine, she was kind in every way, but now that she is Yu Shangqi's wife, she is all kinds of dissatisfied.
Also, after all, in the eyes of this mother-in-law, her background is not worthy of their Yu family's daughter-in-law at all.
Jin Xin secretly felt funny, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile without a trace.
After teasing the child for a while, the old lady really looked at Jin Xin and asked, "What is the child's name?" β
"The boy's name is Yu Xifeng, the milk name is Fengfeng, the girl's name is Yu Xilei, and the milk name is Lei Lei."
"Xifeng, Xilei ......"
The old lady chewed the names of the two children, and her face was a little solemn: "It's obviously a Shang character, why didn't you embed a Shang character?" Who married this name? β
Facing the old lady's sharp eyes, Jin Xin was stunned, and replied, "Zijing married." β
"If he has made such omissions in naming his children, don't you, the wife, know how to persuade him? Or do you not even know what you need to know? β
In the face of the old lady's questioning, Jin Xin didn't react at first, and then smiled calmly: "The old lady also knows that Zijing has always had his own ideas, and he has made decisions, no matter what others say, they can't move him." How can I ...... this?"
"Just forget it? How, you're doing things like this! β
Unexpectedly, the old lady actually got to the bottom of it and glared at Jin Xin: "My husband made a wrong decision, do you just watch him continue to be wrong?" That's what you did to his wife? β
Jin Xin quietly looked at the old lady's angry face, and knew with her toes that the old lady in front of her was deliberately looking for herself, and she didn't care whether people were really angry with her for a name, or just wanted to take the opportunity to scold her, so she simply kept her mouth shut and didn't answer, and let people talk about it.
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, the old lady's face sank: "I'm asking you, didn't you hear?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Jin Xin still did not answer.
The old lady looked at her coldly, and as if she was about to get angry, Yu Shangzhi suddenly stood in front of the old lady, and played a round with a smile: "Oh, grandmother, what are you doing with such a big fire?" Look at it, the kids are scared of you! β
When the old lady heard this, she quickly glanced at Feng Feng and Lei Lei, and saw that the children were looking at her with their big eyes open, and then she realized that her tone was a little high just now and scared them, so she hurriedly put away her anger and smiled at the two children.
Yu Shangzhi turned his head and winked at Jin Xin.
Jin Xin looked at him like that, and was a little surprised, this Yu Shangzhi has a good personality.
The old lady has been looking forward to hugging her great-grandson as soon as possible, but the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, the eldest grandson Yu Shangqi and his former granddaughter-in-law Jin Shanyuan have been married for a few years and have not given birth to heirs, and finally the two parted ways, and Yu Shangqi has never remarried; The second grandson, Yu Shangguo, has been fighting on the battlefield with his father all the year round, and he has less time to get together with his wife, and he has little chance to have children; Come to this Yu Shangzhi again, the big thing of marrying a wife has not yet been completed, let alone having children.
The old lady is old, with fine clothes and food, glory and wealth, everything.
The only wish is to play with my great-grandson, but I can't get my wish.
Now, looking at Fengfeng and Lei Lei, although they are still grandchildren in terms of generation, that little child is enough to relieve her strong desire to hold her great-grandson.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that as soon as his mind fell on Fengfeng and Lei Lei, the old lady directly put Jin Xin aside and was busy playing with his little grandson and granddaughter.
Yu Zhao handed Lei Lei to Yu Shangzhi to hold, quietly watched the scene of the old lady and them teasing the child for a while, and when he turned his head to look at Jin Xin, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually fell.
She walked to Jin Xin's side and looked at her: "When I first saw you back then, I thought you would become Shang Qi's side room, but I didn't think that today, you have become my brother-in-law." β
Jin Xin looked at Yu Zhao and responded with a smile: "I can only say that the world is really unpredictable." β
"You're too young. may not be suitable for Zijing. β
Now is it a question of fit?
Jin Xin said with a smile: "Isn't it suitable for those who are not married?" β
Yu Zhao was choked by Jin Xin's reply, paused, and then continued: "Actually, the old lady is not satisfied with your marriage to Zijing. β
"To be precise, it's because I'm not satisfied with Jin Xin, right?"
Jin Xin is actually a little angry in her heart, she is clearly not willing to marry Yu Zijing, she was completely forced to marry by Yu Zijing's design behind her, she is full of depression and has not complained yet, but now she has to be disliked by the people of the Yu family, as if she wants to climb Yu Zijing, how can she not be angry?
Fortunately, she is also a calm person, although she is unhappy in her heart, she can still have a pleasant face on her face.
It is not necessarily a Cheng dΓΉ who can be so pleasant that people must be satisfied.
Yu Zhao was once again speechless by her, to be precise, because what Jin Xin said was the truth, and her silence was actually no different from acquiescence.
Jin Xin smiled slightly and said: "Although the surname is still Yu, as we all know, Zijing was removed from the Yu family tree by General Yu many years ago, and Zijing himself also claimed that he had nothing to do with the Yu family. β
"Jin Xin ......"
"It's really young and vigorous, and you dare to say anything!"
When Yu Zhao didn't know how to answer Jin Xin, Yu Lao Taijun's voice suddenly sounded behind him, with a bit of awe-inspiring momentum.
Jin Xin followed the voice and looked over, and saw the old lady's angry face.
"Even if I was removed from the family tree by the old man of my family, it can't change the fact that Zijing was conceived and born in October! Is the relationship between flesh and blood broken if it is broken? β
The old lady put Feng Feng on the couch, got up and walked over to Jin Xin: "You are also a mother, but you don't even know such a simple truth!" β
Jin Xin watched the old lady walk towards him step by step, and at the same time, he also felt the oppression brought by the other party.
"Even if I was conceived and born in October, it doesn't mean that I can interfere in my life at will."
At this moment, a cold voice sounded faintly.
