Chapter 857: Raised Fist (Thirty-Seven)
The wine table that could not be placed in the hall was placed in the courtyard, and it was the height of summer, and it was more comfortable and cool to eat in the courtyard.
Liu Yong and Lin Qingrou naturally sat in the first place, followed by the two concubines, Ouyang Lanlan and Maria. Then there were the Lin couples. Further down are Ma Miaozhen and others.
Lin Qingrou didn't eat this hometown dish anymore, and she missed it very much. And Lin knew his daughter's preferences, so he specially asked the cook to make some. All were placed in front of Lin Qingrou.
"Thank you, Mother!" Lin Qingrou said with a smile.
"The old body knows that the mother likes to eat, so he specially asked the kitchen to make it." Lin said with a smile.
Ouyang Lanlan sighed: "It's good to have a mother! After speaking, he felt a little out of place, so he quickly smiled and said, "I'm just a little envious of the queen." ”
Lin Qingrou smiled at Ouyang Lanlan and said, "What does Sister Lan'er like to eat?" Let the kitchen do it now. ”
Ouyang Lanlan said with a smile: "My sister's favorite food is also my sister's favorite food!" ”
"That's good, let's eat together!" Lin Qingrou immediately asked the maid to give Ouyang Lanlan some of the past.
There was a ball of harmony on the wine table.
The other concubines, some of whom eat in the courtyard, are all special dishes of Chengchuan Mansion, and they still feel fresh for these girls in Jiangnan. Although there is also a restaurant in Cheonanfu that serves the dishes here, there is no authenticity here. The dishes are mainly spicy. Some of them can't eat spicy, so they take a bite and slap their tongues spicy. It's funny and cute.
The Lin couple expressed their joy at the return of Liu Yong and their daughter. The old couple misses their daughter very much, especially the Lin family. As a man, Daddy Lin still has a bigger heart. As long as he has wine to eat every day, and he does not have to work, he will be satisfied.
Liu Yong said that he would take the two elders to Tian'an Mansion, but they were still rejected by the Lin family. This time, even Daddy Lin, who was a little tempted before, decisively refused.
Liu Yong had no choice, so he could only rely on the second elder.
At the wine table, Father Lin mentioned the election of a son-in-law and praised Liu Yong's bravery. In what he has seen and heard, there has never been anything like Liu Yong. However, fortunately, after choosing Liu Yong, her daughter can become the queen and accept the admiration of tens of thousands of people.
Because Ma Miaozhen and Ouyang Lanlan were here, Daddy Lin didn't mention the two elder brothers. It's just a simple mouthful. The main content of his speech is that he has the ability to discern pearls, and he chose Liu Yong, a shining pearl. Anyway, it's a disguised praise for Liu Yong.
At that time, Daddy Lin's reputation in Meizhou City was not very good, but there was nothing else, mainly because he was lazy and lazy. Some people looked down on him. But now, he is in this Meizhou City, and even the governor has to come to visit and greet him every once in a while.
Those who looked down on him in the past have no way to slap him up now. The old friends who used to be good with him are all living a good life with his sponsorship. I am glad that I made friends with this national master back then.
Since then, Daddy Lin has walked on the street with his head held high, although he is now a little hunchbacked, but he still holds his head high.
Now he goes out, followed by four servants, and two maids waiting for him. He also likes to go to the old teahouse, which is no longer a teahouse, but his courtyard.
After all, this is his old mansion in Meizhou City, and he can't bear to sell it, according to his current status and wealth, there is no need to sell this two-story small building at all. He asked for a new renovation and an immediate renovation. The second floor is still a bedroom, and the first floor has been converted into a hall.
If nothing happens, he will find the old neighbors and drink tea, eat and drink, and play chess in his own home. It's very free. During the day, when he was bored in the house, he would come to this old mansion, and sometimes he would simply stay at night.
Now, as he walked along the road, he was with the people who saluted him. After all, he is the ruler of the country, and his identity is very bluffing.
The Lin family does not go out of the door, and the second door does not step out. It's like a lady. She's too old to go out and about. If you are bored, go to the back garden for a walk, there are mountains and rivers in it, and the scenery is good. Besides, he likes to embroider, but now that he is older, his eyes are not good, and his show is slow.
It doesn't matter how fast or slow, the important thing is that she feels that she has something to do, so that she doesn't feel empty in her heart. I have nothing to do, but I'm just eating and waiting to die.
And in such a mansion, it is easy to become a mixed eater waiting for death. Because this kind of life is to stretch out your hands and eat to open your mouth, and you don't have to do anything.
As a typical working woman, Lin is unaccustomed to such a life. Fortunately, a few maids are still very considerate and have nothing to do to chat with her.
In addition to these, she also has a pastime, which is to watch her grandchildren and granddaughters. She has four grandchildren and three granddaughters. It's also very lively, filling up all the silence around her. It can be regarded as enjoying the happiness of being full of grandchildren here.
After the dinner, Liu Yong and Lin Qingrou talked with the Lin couple and Lin Hualang's family alone, and the Lin family said: "If Rou'er hadn't married His Majesty, we wouldn't know what hard life we would have to live!" ”
Lin Qingrou said, "Mother, don't you still have a brother?" ”
"Hmph, your brother is a non-professional thing. If I hadn't followed Your Majesty back then, would I have said anything about my life now! It is better to count on him than on a piece of wood. Lin smiled and looked at Lin Hualang, who bowed his head in shame.
"Mother who can't, my brother is still very filial." Lin Qingrou said with a smile.
Lin Hualang said: "Queen Mother, Mother is right, if I hadn't met Your Majesty back then, I really don't know if I would have died now." Even if he has a life, I'm afraid it's just an unemployed bankrupt household, he can't eat or drink, and he can't talk about honoring his parents! ”
Father Lin spoke at this time, looked at Lin Hualang and said: "You kid, back then, Lao Tzu wanted you to study and gain fame, and your old son and mother are so bright, but you kid just don't read, you have a headache when you read, and Lao Tzu doesn't read when you beat your ass." I can't help it, I'm going to kick you out of the house. I know you kid can't count on it. But fortunately, your sister has a discerning eye and has taken a fancy to Your Majesty. Your mother and I have today's birth. ”
Lin Hualang nodded and said, "What my father scolded is that my achievements today are all given by His Majesty. ”
Liu Yong said with a smile: "It's all in the past, don't mention it." Lin Hualang, when will you take your home to Tian'an Mansion and live in my palace for a while. ”
When he said this, the eyes of Lin Hualang's eight wives all lit up, as if the wolf had seen meat.
