Chapter 15: Slap in the face
The contents of the cloth bag are clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes, but they are just messy and put together.
Lin Haoqi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze at his sister was extremely complicated.
Knowing what her granddaughter was bothering to calculate, Mrs. Chen had turned her face and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Father, is this the so-called evidence?"
Lin Wanwan's calm and waveless voice was like a slap in the face, which was thrown heavily on Lin Hongzhi's face, and also on Xiao Chen's face.
Lin Hongzhi's face has turned red and black, black and red, and has changed several times.
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he knew that he had fallen into a trap, and his hateful gaze stabbed at the face that was very similar to Chen's like a knife. She really underestimated this Lin Wanwan!!
"Lin Wanwan! You must have hidden those earth dragons!! Even if it's not an earth dragon here, you can't clear that you just threw things into my tea and deliberately made me ugly! ”
Things took a turn for the worse, Lin Guanying couldn't help it anymore, jumped up from the ground, pointed at Lin Guanwan and shouted loudly.
The sharp and piercing voice made Lin Wanwan frown.
She slowly stood up, looking at her half-sister with a cold expression, and there was a sarcasm in her eyes. "The bag of Dilong was sent to the pharmacy in the house as early as I returned to the banquet, and I am afraid that it has been cleaned up and dried."
"As long as my medicine warehouse receives the medicinal materials, it will register the storage time and the location of the storage, which can be checked by someone." Mrs. Chen saw her son-in-law's face clearly, made a decision in her heart, and finally opened her mouth.
This sentence is undoubtedly a slap in the face, Lin Hongzhi feels that his old face is hot, and there is nowhere to put it. Xiao Chen's face turned pale and took a few steps back, she completely offended her mother-in-law this time, and even her husband also had a heart for her!
Just when Xiao Chen's heart was cold, Lin Guanying shouted loudly again.
She rushed to Lin Hongzhi and grabbed her father's sleeve, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, her face was full of excitement: "Father, father!" I asked the maid to count the earth dragons, and there were twenty-three in all! Tell people to check the number! There will definitely be one less! ”
"Shut up!" Lin Hongzhi pulled out his sleeve robe vigorously and said angrily.
It was the first time he found out that this second daughter was so stupid, if the number was correct, his old face really didn't want it!
"Check! You go and take Mrs. Shangshu and Miss Lin Si to the pharmacy, let them count by themselves, and then find the maid who delivered the things, and let them interrogate them together. Old Madam Chen's voice sounded again, without a trace of temperature, and instructed the maid who did not stop the people who were worried.
When Lin Hongzhi heard this, his whole face turned green.
Mrs. Chen didn't let him go in person, but she had already given him thin noodles. No matter how angry he is at this time, he doesn't dare to know what to do, he really tears his face with the General's Mansion, and there is no benefit to him!
When Mrs. Chen's words fell, Xiao Chen's face became as white as paper, and Lin Guanying looked at her sister who was sneering and smiling in front of her, and she also felt that something was wrong.
"Mrs. Shangshu, Miss Lin, please." The maid made a gesture of invitation in front of the two of them.
didn't let people step down at all, Xiao Chen cast a pitiful look at Lin Hongzhi for help, but he ignored it.
At this time, Old Madam Chen snorted coldly and said, "The people outside went to call the general to find the guards, this maid broke into my general's mansion and dragged him out to fight!" ”
Xiao Chen's feet suddenly softened, if it weren't for his daughter borrowing some strength on the side, he was afraid that he would have to fall at this moment.
There was a crisp and crisp girl outside, the footsteps were far away, and Mrs. Chen's sight was like a sharp blade, so that Xiao Chen could no longer bear the discomfort and walked out of the house.
Lin Hongzhi, whose old face was swollen because of his wife and daughter, flashed his eyes, and fell on his son, who was still kneeling on the ground, and he personally helped his son up after a few turns.
The maid who went and returned had already brought someone here, and directly blocked the handkerchief in the mouth of Xiao Chen's maid who was paralyzed on the ground in fright, and let the guards drag it away left and right.
Old Madam Chen's majesty made Lin Hongzhi's heart skip a beat, and then he saluted her and said, "Mother-in-law, this matter is my anxiety, I mistook it for hearing and discerning, and I almost wronged Wanwan." ”
This attitude was soft and asking for forgiveness, Mrs. Chen didn't even raise her eyes, knocked on the table before she said coldly: "I only gave birth to a daughter, but I went early, and the older I get, the more I miss my hard-working daughter." The Wanwan brothers and sisters look very much like their mother, and I want to keep them for a few more days to accompany my wife. ”
Seeing the Shangshu Mansion family, Mrs. Chen was no longer willing to send her grandson back.
When Lin Hongzhi heard this, his face changed again, and he hated Xiao Chen's action today.
Since the death of his wife, the general's mansion has been estranged from him, and the relationship has finally eased up in recent years, and things have become out of control again. His sons and daughters always lived in their grandfather's house, and his face as a father was also gloomy.
And... Soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, although he was a scholar of the dynasty, compared with the ministers of the court, his foundation was still shallow. If there is some turmoil, he is afraid that he will fall into it, and now the relationship with the General's Mansion must no longer be stiff, at least not let outsiders feel that the relationship between the two governments is like thin ice!
After a few moments of thought, Lin Hongzhi raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, with a sad face: "The mother-in-law's mood can be understood by the son-in-law, and the son-in-law has also blamed himself for not taking good care of Rou'er all these years..."
"But my mother-in-law, now Qi'er is fifteen years old, and she is going to participate in the scientific examination this year. Over the years, my father has not been able to be by his side to guide me, and now I can't let him work alone anymore. ”
"Although the son-in-law is not talented, he was also one of the top three, and he can always add more talent to Qi'er. What if it didn't work like that? ”
"Their brother and sister will stay in the General's Mansion until the beginning of March, and they will accompany your old man more, and then let them return to Shangshu Mansion after the beginning of March. Wanwan is thirteen, and it should be the age to go out and walk around with the young lady of the Xungui family. ”
When Lin Wanwan heard Old Madam Chen say that she wanted to keep their brother and sister, her heart was beating wildly. What she never thought was that her father was so persistent in asking them to return to Shangshufu, and the reason was that people couldn't refuse.
If Mrs. Chen does not accept it, if Lin Haoqi is unfavorable in the scientific examination at that time, she is afraid that she will have to delay her grandson's reputation. And Lin Hongzhi's so-called walking, is it to start looking for a husband for her?
Lin Wanwan only felt that her brain was buzzing, and she didn't think that she would be involved in this, her eyes were quickly covered with moisture, and her little face was full of hesitation and fear.
How could Mrs. Chen not hear the meaning of Lin Hongzhi's words, her heart was sour and bitter, worried that a pair of grandsons would be bullied by this increasingly bold little Chen after returning home. Her son-in-law is still biased!
Her gaze fell on the face of her grandson, who was silent and standing like a bamboo, and finally froze on her granddaughter who was about to cry. The heart softens into water.
"This matter will be discussed again today, Lord Shangshu is busy with official business, and Mrs. Shangshu should almost find out the number, and the old body will not keep you much. Bai Su, send off! ”
didn't give Lin Hongzhi a chance to talk more, Mrs. Chen avoided expressing her position and took the lead in her attitude.
Old Madam Chen didn't eat hard and soft, Lin Hongzhi's bit of literati arrogance also rushed up, and his face was pale, and he arched his hand towards Old Madam Chen, turned around and strode away.
Seeing this, Lin Haoqi saluted Mrs. Chen and hurriedly chased forward to see off his father.
Today's incident, his father is so shrewd that he is afraid that his sister will react at the next moment, and he has to do some foreshadowing before his father reacts. Otherwise, my father was afraid that he would really annoy his sister......
