Chapter 136: The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cannot be underestimated
It is said to be a common meal, but it cannot be sloppy, and the dishes on the table are all carefully selected with various auspicious meanings.
Even if it is the Lin family, there are several dishes, and they may not be able to eat them.
It's not that the Lin family can't afford it, as the largest spice family in the imperial city, there is still no shortage of money. But in the hierarchical dynasties, there are some treasures that only the royal family and nobles with status can eat.
If this is eaten in private, if the defendant sends it, it is not a small crime.
But no matter how good the dishes are, they are not attractive to Lin Wanbai, anyway, in the twenty-first century, as long as you have money, you can eat them, so it is impossible for her to have her eyes light up for these.
It was Lin Hongan and Lin Chen's who were happy in their hearts, and their joy was not that they could eat delicious food, but that they had the capital to show off, and they could show off when they got together with their colleagues and friends next time.
Maybe it was because Lin Chen's words just now collided with the princess, so this meal was very quiet, the princess didn't take the lead to speak, and no one else dared to say anything, let alone talk to the two in private.
Lin Wanbai ate by herself, too lazy to pay attention to the embarrassing atmosphere at the table, anyway, it wasn't her who was embarrassed, what were you afraid of.
"Wan'er, don't just take care of eating, this is Aunt Zhao."
Suddenly, the princess raised her head, put down her chopsticks, looked at Aunt Zhao, who was a little cramped on the side, and asked.
According to Aunt Zhao's identity, many times, at banquets in the Lin Mansion, she can't eat at the main table, and now she is still sitting in front of the princess, which is naturally cramped.
Hearing the princess's question, Aunt Zhao hurriedly raised her head, and said with some fear in her eyes: "If you go back to the princess, it is the people's woman." ”
"Hehe, don't be so cramped, we're all about to become in-laws, aren't we?"
The princess smiled, looking very kind, she eats fasting and recites Buddha all year round. And he also has a charitable face, which is quite kind if he laughs.
But no matter how kind she is, to Aunt Zhao. Don't dare to make any sloppy moves.
"Inherit the princess's noble words."
Aunt Zhao whispered, and after saying it just now, she could feel Lin Chen's murderous gaze like a knife.
"It's really strange, Aunt Zhao, your temperament is so docile. For Sister Wan'er, she is spicy and energetic, and if there are some unsatisfactory things, you have to pay attention to them? ”
The princess said a little strangely, in fact, as long as it is a clear-eyed person, it can be seen that it is indeed a little different, Lin Wanbai's character, it can be regarded as giving face to say that it is spicy and energetic, this character, if it is left in other in-laws' houses, it may be a broomstick. Kicked out.
But now that the situation here in King Qi's mansion, no matter what Lin Wanbai does, the princess will not kick her out again.
Because what she wants is a spicy and energetic daughter-in-law, so that she can shock others and protect Hongshu.
Aunt Zhao listened, glanced at Lin Wanbai, then reached out and patted her on the head, and said with some anger: "Back to the princess, this girl used to be obedient and clever. But as soon as it fell into the water, it became like this. ”
After speaking, he looked at Lin Wanbai with a particularly disgusted look.
Of course, Lin Wanbai was not satisfied. Hurriedly said on the side: "Mother, they all say that selling flowers praises the fragrance of flowers, how can you say something bad, how can this flower be sold?" ”
The princess was amused by her words, clapped her palms and said, "Who said that it can't be sold, Hongshu won't see you for a day." Are you uncomfortable? ”
When Lin Wanbai heard this, he knew that it was a joke, and he didn't think it was anything, but thinking about it again, at this time, if other ladies heard this, what would their expressions be. Thinking of this, she lowered her head and deliberately made a shy appearance, pretending to be a lady, and she was really tired and panicked.
"Niangniang, you're making fun of Wan'er."
"I didn't talk nonsense, in-laws, you don't know that Wan'er is in the house, and she is not at ease, as much trouble as she wants; Helplessly, my son just likes her, likes her tightly, even if he falls into the water, what he shouts is Wan'er's name. ”
The princess said half-jokingly, half-seriously, and couldn't help but sigh at the end, and said faintly: "I want to work hard, take care of me for twenty years, and in the end, this child only has his wife in his eyes." ”
If the first half of the sentence is a common word, then the second half of the sentence is a little inappropriate.
Lin Wanbai raised his head, sighed in his heart, and glanced at the princess cautiously, not sure if this was a joke. The homely things at the dinner table, although they are just casually spoken, but who knows if there are thorns in these words.
It is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, and if they dare to show affection in front of their mother-in-law, then they will not be far from death.
Hongshu's mouth is all white when he closes his mouth, and he seems to be extremely affectionate, but in the heart of the princess, is he really happy? An inexplicable woman suddenly appeared like this and snatched away her son, who she had loved for twenty years, how good could she feel?
Thinking of this, Lin Wanbai frowned, she had never thought that she would have to face the problem of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before, but now that she was really in front of her, she didn't even think about how to do it.
"Niangniang said so, Wan'er can't afford it."
Lin Wanbai hurriedly said, she is here in the palace, and if she wants to live a leisurely life, she still has to look at the princess's face, she doesn't want to offend everyone.
And Aunt Zhao also heard the inappropriateness in the words, and hurriedly said: "Princess, you are laughing, the prince is greedy for this novelty, you are his mother, this is something that can't be changed no matter what, saying this can make our mother and daughter both broken." ”
Aunt Zhao said with some trepidation, she didn't want Wanbai to be excluded before she married into the Qi Palace.
Seeing that the two of them said this, the princess could be regarded as a general understanding, smiled slightly, and then replied to herself: "I'm just joking, and I'm very satisfied with Sister Wan'er, so there's no need to worry." ”
It is not known whether the satisfaction in these words is true or false.
Although Lin Wanbai couldn't tell whether what the princess said was Lala's homely or ulterior motives, she had no way to judge at the moment; This is what the three of them are talking about here, but they put Lin Hongan and Lin Chen aside, and they can't say anything.
Lin Hongan's face became very ugly, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he had to drink tea and glared at Lin Chen fiercely from time to time.
blamed her for not knowing how to speak, and annoyed the princess with a few words. This is not immediately left to the air.
Lin Chen also knew that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, that the young son of Yingxiu was from Concubine Li's side, and in the future, he would be the one who would compete for the position of the prince with Hong Shizi, and talk happily in front of the princess. Originally, it was an act of seeking death.
It's just that now that I know it's wrong, what's the use?
A meal, each of them ate the taste of their hearts, and Lin Wanbai was a meal from the princess. Be vigilant.
Hongshu's kid naturally doesn't understand the struggle between these mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, he just needs to do things with his hobbies.
This final consequence is not for her to bear.
"It's not too early, and the in-laws also have their own things to do, so I won't delay."
After eating and drinking enough, the princess seemed to be a little tired and too lazy to socialize.
She has been in the Buddhist building all the year round and has long been accustomed to a quiet life. There were so many people coming at once, and they were all strangers, which made her feel tired.
"Thank you for the hospitality, princess, then ......"
Although Lin Hongan didn't dare in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, and for the sake of the Lin family's good future, he still had to ask for clarification and let himself feel at ease.
What a person the princess is, she has experienced so many things in the complexity, the faces of those people. What you want, you can see at a glance.
"This is arranged by Cao Ye, and the in-laws don't need to worry, the day has already been arranged. Although he is a little rushed, he will definitely not be wronged by Sister Wan'er. ”
"Then there is Princess Lao."
The princess said it so bluntly, which made Lin Hongan's old face turn red all of a sudden, this is one thing to say, it was said by others. It's another thing.
Seeing his submissive appearance, the princess sneered in her heart, such a slave looks really disgusting, fortunately Lin Wanbai does not have such a slave appearance, otherwise even if Hongshu likes it, she will never agree.
Lin Wanbai originally wanted to talk more to her mother, but with these many rules, it was difficult for her to meet each other, let alone hide in the room and say some heart-to-heart words.
And she also knows that Aunt Zhao is a very well-behaved person, and if she insists that Aunt Zhao stay, it will only make her uncomfortable.
"Mother, you have to eat well and live well at home, don't take everything to your heart, only eat and live a long life, and watch those who do evil all go to hell, it is a thing."
Since you can't say too much, you can only pick the key points.
Aunt Zhao was a little stunned, how could her family Wan'er say such a thing.
"I'm about to get married, and I'm still talking these nonsense, what's not hell."
"Even if you get married, you have to tell the truth."
Lin Wanbai has a stubborn personality, and she can't hold back her words, which sentence to say.
When she said this, she seemed to think of something, pulled Aunt Zhao over, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Mother, it's inconvenient for me to tell you the reason now, but if you have anything to say to me, there is no way to come to the palace, just write a note and press it under the tree in your yard, don't let people know, understand?" ”
"Wan'er, what are you?"
"Don't ask why, remember what I said, and come to me if you have something. Mother, although I am not yet at the point where I can completely protect you, I already have a certain amount of responsibility. ”
Lin Wanbai said seriously, after today, the princess talked to Aunt Zhao so enthusiastically, and left Lin Chen aside, I don't know how she will be treated after she goes back.
We have to be on guard.
"What's wrong with you?"
Aunt Zhao still didn't react, she is a traditional woman, so traditional that she puts her husband first in everything, and she has no self at all.
"In short, mother, you just listen to me, if you have something to press the paper, don't let people know."
Lin Wanbai can't say much to her, although the palace is very large, but there are times when it comes to the end, and she still has something to say to Lin Hongan, she really can't afford to delay.
After finishing speaking, Lin Wanbai hugged Aunt Zhao a little sadly, although it was not a palace wall, but this farewell, I don't know when I will see you again.
Aunt Zhao also had red eyes, her daughter, who had been precious for so long, still had to leave her after all, suffered so much, and finally married a fool.
After saying goodbye, Lin Wanbai walked to Lin Hongan's side, because they were father and daughter, they would not attract anyone's attention at all.
"Dad, I have something to say to you."
For Lin Hongan, her tone was much more blunt, and she would say whatever she thought of.
Lin Hongan looked at her, his expression was a little complicated, this daughter was different from before, as if she had changed as a different person, and she couldn't be sent away casually like before.
"What's the matter with you?"
Lin Hongan himself didn't realize that when he talked to Lin Wanbai, it was no longer a feeling between father and daughter, but with an indescribable feeling, as if he was talking to a colleague.
With equality and a hint of fear.
When did this daughter grow up to the point where he has no way to control and dominate?
"I want to make a deal with you, and in short, you won't lose money on this deal."
Lin Wanbai didn't have much to say to him, so he was very concise.
Lin Hongan looked at her and couldn't figure out what he meant.
"At the end of today, the eldest brother is also going to graduate from Taixue, I know that our family has been a spice for generations, but my father will never want my eldest brother to be in the incense shop for the rest of his life, it is the best choice to be an official in politics, but my father's title is just hereditary, in the court, there should not be many people, and I am really happy and convinced by my father, right?"
Although Lin Wanbai has never cared about the affairs of the Lin family, these things, if you think about them with a little brain, you can know them.
This brain, brought back from the 21st century, is not for decoration.
Lin Hongan looked at her, his face changed several colors, and he muttered his lips, but he couldn't say a word.
"I understand what my father and aunt mean, and I want Lu'er and I to marry into a powerful family, so that it can also help the family, so I make a deal with my father, and you will definitely not lose."
Lin Wanbai looked at him, smiled slightly, and said to him with a sharp look in his eyes: "Won't Dad give a letter?" ”
These words brought Lin Hongan back to his senses, he looked at Lin Wanbai, and said with a solemn face: "You are a woman, what do you know?" ”
"If I have the ability, let my eldest brother be an official in the court, and you won't lose this deal."
Lin Wanbai knew that it was not easy, but for the sake of her mother, she could only fight.
Lin Hongan's position as a lord is just a false name, and he can't even enter the early dynasty, wearing an official uniform is just for show, and no one cares about it at all.
For this, he also suffered for a long time.
If Lin Tianxu can be a decent official, then his face will be stained.
"Don't be a fool, these things are not something you can do as a woman."
The current emperor is not quite the same as the previous king, although he also likes to mix incense, but he will not be an official for a perfume merchant, so this matter is not so easy to do.
Just let Lin Tianxu go to Taixue to take class, I don't know how much thought it took him. (To be continued.) )
