Chapter 68, the aggressive third aunt
"Third brother, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are becoming more and more handsome and outstanding. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" When Lin saw Lin Zeyu, he couldn't help but take a few steps closer to him, and looked at him carefully several times, but seeing Lin Zeyu's eyebrows raised lightly, his complexion was excellent, and the whole person looked quite high-spirited, obviously his officialdom career has not been bad in recent years, and he couldn't help but smile with relief.
"Fortunately, this is the eldest mother and Jing Xuan, I haven't seen you for a few years, I've grown a lot taller, and Zixiu, when I left, I was still a little small, and now I've grown so big, who is this?" Lin Zeyu smiled slightly, he glanced at Lin, then turned his head to look at the few children who were following Lin, and said.
The Lin family was slightly stunned when he heard this, hadn't the Lin family told him the identity of Xiao Xiaozhen yet? Xiao Zhen was brought back by Xiao Nan, but on the surface, she adopted it from Zhenshantang, in front of the intelligent and sensitive Xiao Zhen, the Lin family didn't know how to answer for a while, Xiao Nan saw this and hurriedly went out to help her out: "Third uncle, his name is Xiao Zhen, and he is my third brother." ”
"My sister gave birth to a little nephew again, why hasn't anyone mentioned it to me?" Lin Zeyu was stunned, and asked with some surprise, did he remember that his sister only had two children? Looking at Xiao Zhen's age again, could it be that he was born after he left home? It's just that although this kid is beautiful, he doesn't look like Xiao Nan and Zi Xiu.
"Cough, cough, Xiao Zhen is the lost child that our Zhenshantang brought back from the outside last year, Zhen Niang only has a son and a daughter under her knees, a little cold, and then Xiao Zhen is quite suitable for her eyes, so she adopted it back." Xiao Nan's grandmother, Wang, was afraid that the Lin family would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, she didn't know Xiao Zhen's actual origin, and no one else in the Lin family knew about Xiao Zhen's affairs except Lin Zhi and Lin Xiucai.
"Hehe, the second sister is still so kind, it's already very hard for you to carry two children alone, but I didn't expect to adopt another one." Xiao Nan saw that everyone's topic suddenly fell on Xiao Xiao Zhen, for fear that this smart and sensitive child would be sad, she subconsciously reached out to hold Xiao Zhen's hand, and was about to find a way to comfort her, but she didn't want to At this moment, another voice sounded.
Xiao Nan's brows wrinkled involuntarily, she subconsciously looked up, only to see a young woman who looked about twenty-four or five, holding a beautiful little boy in her hand, slowly walked out of the inner hall, this woman was wearing a red satin brocade jacket, wearing an emerald cloak with white rabbit fur, lined with skin like snow, very beautiful, a pair of lacquered eyes that fell on Lin and others had arrogance and mockery that could not be hidden.
Xiao Nan's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly when he saw this, if Lin Zeyu hadn't heard the Lin family introduce Xiao Zhen's identity before, and asked if it was forgivable, then the woman who suddenly appeared was quite abrupt, her words seemed to be praising the Lin family at first glance, but in fact, the Lin family was a new widow, it was not easy for her to be a widow with two children, and now she has adopted one more, coupled with her expression when she spoke, it was obviously sarcastic that the Lin family was not capable.
Lin was also a little stunned by her words, but this is her maiden home, and the woman holding the child is Wei Yun, the wife of her third brother, even if she knows that she senses the faint mockery in the other party's eyes, Lin doesn't want to think that she is sarcastic about herself, she was slightly stunned, then smiled and said to the woman: "Yun Niang, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are becoming more and more beautiful, this is Bowen, you look so good." As she spoke, she took out a small purse with a silver naked child temporarily prepared in the carriage and handed it over, she didn't know that Lin Zeyu would bring her family home this year, and she didn't prepare a gift, so she could only temporarily wrap a red envelope.
"Second Sister Lao broke the bank, in fact, the second sister doesn't have to be so polite, my brother-in-law is gone, you have to raise three children by yourself, oh, no, it's four children, and life in the future will not be easy." Wei Yun glanced at the small purse in Lin's hand lightly, and the ridicule in her eyes became more and more obvious, fortunately, she still remembered what place this was, indicating that Lin Bowen took it.
"Fortunately, although your brother-in-law is gone, the children in the family are angry, and they don't need to be too much to make a living." The smile on Lin's face finally faded, and after she handed the silver collar to Lin Bowen, she stepped aside and answered lightly.
"Oh? But I don't know which child is so capable, I heard that Jingxuan is still studying in Hongxi Academy, and Zixiu is only eight years old this year, could it be that the eldest sister is talking about your eldest mother? Wei Yun asked with a pretended surprise expression.
Lin Shi frowned when she heard this, she didn't know why her brother-in-law, who had only met once before, had been staring at her aggressively and asking about her family's economic situation, could it be that she was worried that her family would be downcast and would go to their house to fight the autumn breeze? When her mind fell here, Lin's face couldn't help but sink, but she soon remembered that this was her maiden home, whether she was unhappy or not, she couldn't turn her face with Wei Yun here,
Wei Yun's aggressive attitude annoyed not only the Lin family, but also Lin Xiucai and Wang's faces sank at this time, their third daughter-in-law, after marrying Ze Yu, they didn't get along with them for a few days, they didn't know the temperament of this woman, they thought it was the daughter of a doctor of the academy, and she must be a gentle woman who is knowledgeable.
After really getting in touch, I found that this woman was very arrogant, she relied on herself to be the child of an official eunuch, and thought that Lin Zeyu's promotion was completely dependent on the contribution of her mother's family, so she looked down on her husband's family in her heart. (That's right, Lin Zeyu only has a background, four years ago he served as an eighth-grade petty official in a certain county, but now he has been promoted to the seventh-rank county commander, and he can only go to work in early February.) )
Since Lin Zeyu's family came back, Lin Xiucai has dealt with them a few times, and he is very unhappy, he thought that his youngest son is square and good, although he has no great talent, but there will be no problems in his conduct, how do he know that he has only been an official for four years, but his temperament has changed a lot, but thinking that his younger son has been away from home for several years, and finally came back for the New Year, he finally endured it without having a seizure.
But he didn't want him to give in a step, so Wei Yun felt that the Lin family was scolding her, and she was acting more and more out of line, today she actually stretched out her hand to the Lin family's mother and son, Lin Xiucai couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, but Xiao Nan took the first step to take over the conversation: "Third uncle, you were born in a scholarly family, probably don't know that the livelihood of the countrymen is difficult, in our countryside, there is a saying that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, the eldest mother has no great ability, but at the age of nine she has gone into the mountains to hunt with her father, and this year is already twelve, It is not easy to let the family live a life of fine clothes and fine food, but it is still barely guaranteed to let the family have coarse tea and light food. ”
No matter how she felt about the third uncle's family, she didn't want her grandfather to scold the third uncle or the third aunt because of her own family at this time, if Lin Xiucai was really allowed to do this, what did the third uncle Lin's family think for the time being, it would be difficult for the Lin family to be a person here in the future.
