"Everyone, listen to me." Mrs. Lin suppressed the public opinion, and continued: "Later, following the master's last order, it was also helpless to recruit He'er into my long house as a son-in-law. Although I have been his own over the years, I have also attracted countless criticisms. ”

"Well, that's true." Everyone nodded when they heard this.

In this year, the status of the son-in-law is actually quite low, no better than a slave, and they are both lowly, which can be seen from the attitude of the outside world towards the White River before the crossing. But in the Lin Mansion, because of the second lady, mainly because of Master Lin's will, and the Lin family is a martial arts family, it is a special situation, of course, it must be treated specially, therefore, the heads of each house and the stewards of each hall did not treat Baihe as an outsider, otherwise, they would not have held a career sacrifice for Baihe, and it can indeed be called "regarded as their own".

- Of course, how the subordinates and outsiders despise him, they can't care so much, after all, the vision and realm are not at the same level.

"Xianghe'er has been in our Lin family for five years, and with his performance in the past few years, it is understandable that he will attract criticism, so I won't mention it here," Mrs. Lin continued.

"Hehe......" everyone smiled.

"Fortunately," Mrs. Lin suddenly changed her words, "a few days ago, this child suffered a little sin, but he was also enlightened by a blessing in disguise. Now he makes liquor, holds wine meetings, and cooperates with the Lan family to establish the Dazhou Distillery, all kinds of measures are also obvious to everyone. ”

"Uncle is a late bloomer, congratulations to Mrs. for keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon." Everyone was pleased.

It's really Shibei who should be impressed for three days, my uncle was indeed unscrupulous before, but all his actions in the past half a month, which one of them didn't radiate the whole Jinling City with Lan Kwai Fong as the center? Lin Mansion is next door to Lan Kwai Fong, of course everyone has already heard of it, such an uncle is indeed worthy of the words "late bloomer".

"It can be seen that He'er has grown up to be a talent." Mrs. Lin finally got to the point, and said, "Therefore, I am using He'er to worship my ancestors today, and the concubine proposes that from now on, He'er will officially enter the council hall, I don't know what you think?" ”

Speaking of this, there was a sudden commotion in the ancestral hall: it turned out that Madame's true intention was here!

It's one thing to be an outsider, it's another to be in the chamber.

The Lin family has a big business, with the patriarch Mrs. Lin, the three young ladies of the long house, the eight stewards, and the side branches of each department, and the structure is intertwined and closely integrated. If the entire Lin family is compared to a big tree, then the council hall is the trunk of this big tree. If the entire Lin family is compared to a ship, then the council hall is the rudder of this ship, and its importance is self-evident. Entering the council chamber means that he has the right to control the life and death of the Lin family, and he has great power.

- You know, it's a core important place that only the eight major stewards and above and a few side family heads are qualified to enter!

There is no man in the long room, and the lady wants to push Bai He into the council hall to increase the bargaining chips for the long room, and it is understandable that everyone will compare their hearts to their hearts. Due to the existence of two daughters with qi domains, each room has no intention of fighting with her for power, but the problem is that although Bai He has become a talent, and he is also the husband of the second lady, in the final analysis, he is only a foreign surname after all.

The so-called non-I race must have different hearts, is it really appropriate to let a person with a foreign surname enter the core of the Lin family?

What's more, Bai He is now a sworn brother with Mr. Qinglian, the great god, and the industry under his name, Da Zhou Distillery, has the background of the Holy Queen, if he is allowed to enter the main chamber, it is really difficult to say whether this family will be surnamed Lin or Bai in the future.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

In the commotion, the second lady in charge of the martial arts hall was the first to speak: "This is good, I agree." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Bai He beside him and smiled.

It's a pity that Bai He didn't get her relief, he just looked confused: Didn't he go to Lan Kwai Fong to cut the ribbon after worshipping his ancestors? Why did you suddenly come to some council chamber?

The second lady's voice fell, and the eldest lady Lin Duyun immediately stood up: "I object." ”

"Yun'er!" Mrs. Lin frowned. She proposed to let Bai He enter the main council hall at this time, which naturally had her reasons. It's just that I didn't expect that the two daughters would agree to one and oppose the other, which is really a bit disturbing.

Although the eldest lady has become a general and can be said to be independent from the Lin Mansion, her voice in the family has not declined because of this, but has become higher - because now she is the backer of the big tree of the Lin Mansion. Only she is qualified to refute Mrs. Lin's words in person.

"Sister, why are you doing this?" The second lady is also a little puzzled, my sister has loved herself the most since she was a child, even if she wants the stars in the sky, she will find a way to pick them off, why did she sing against herself this time?

The eldest lady's attitude was blunt and direct, and she pointed out the most critical point mercilessly: "Although Bai He has become a talent, he is a foreign surname after all." Mother, Twilight thinks the matter still needs to be considered in the long run. After speaking, she glanced at Bai He coldly.

Bai He just smiled, not angry because of her words, on the contrary, he even felt that she had a point. Although he has always had a bad impression of this eldest lady, in all fairness, if he changes places, he will also have this concern. As for whether she is impartial or private, only she knows.

Mrs. Lin frowned again, turned her head and asked the others, "What do you think?" ”

At this time, several side family heads saw that the eldest lady had spoken, and they also stood up and said, "I also think that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Someone is taking the lead, and more and more people are voicing their opinions.

Some of them directly support the eldest lady's point of view, some take his past conviction as an example, worried that he will suddenly change sex, I don't know if it is a return to the light or something, and some say that Baihe is still young and needs more experience, and there are various reasons.

And there are people who agree, but there are only a few, mainly Zhiniang and Aunt Rong.

They have all seen the power of Baihe with their own eyes, and said: "Ambition is not old, when the eldest lady led the army, she was two years younger than her uncle, and when Miss Linglong presided over the family business, she was also pitifully young." ”

Of course, there are also people who say wait and see, only two. One is Uncle Tie, he smiled innocently: "I'm just an iron-striking ......" and the other is Sanniang of the Hunting Hall, she said: "Why don't you wait for Miss Linglong to come back?" ”

On the whole, there are the majority of those who oppose it.

Everyone said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and the scene was slightly chaotic. However, it can be seen that the sense of unity at the top of the Lin Mansion is very good, and everyone does not have much anger, just talking about things by facts.

In the midst of the confusion, I suddenly heard someone say, "Silence." ”

The voice was neither light nor heavy, just a very ordinary tone, but everyone immediately fell silent. For the person who speaks is of a very high rank. How tall? is a generation taller than the patriarch Mrs. Lin. And his realm is also extremely high, which can be called the most in the whole Lin Mansion and even the whole Jinling City.

There is only one such person in the entire Lin Mansion - the fourth master.

"Why not listen to him if he quarrels?" The fourth master said slowly.

Everyone was discussing lively, and it was only at this time that they remembered that there was still the main master, so they looked over one after another. Mrs. Lin said, "He'er, what do you think, might as well say it and listen to it?" ”

However, when the words fell, the eldest lady suddenly snorted coldly: "Of course he can't ask for it, do you still need to ask?" ”

"Yun'er Hugh has to say more, otherwise, don't blame serving her mother's law!" Although Mrs. Lin herself thought so, she still stopped drinking.

"Humph!" The eldest lady sneered, and finally stopped talking. However, when she looked at Bai He, the disdain in her eyes couldn't be concealed, and she looked like "I have already seen your true nature".

I'm Nima! Is this eldest lady here for an aunt or how to drop? Bai He suddenly became angry again in his heart, isn't it just a broken council room? We're not uncommon!

At this time, he suddenly understood Mrs. Lin's thoughts.

-- Using oneself as a bargaining chip to consolidate the power of the long house is still one of them. Second, she probably also sees her potential, so she wants to tie herself firmly to the Lin family's warship through the "council chamber", which is the most important thing. Maybe she still looks down on the "little money" of liquor now, but what about in the future?

Now, there are countless merchants outside waiting to share the cake, but Mrs. Lin has already taken a salary from the bottom of the kettle and started directly from the person who makes the cake. I have to say that as the head of the family, this mother-in-law is really far-sighted, no wonder she will let herself and the eight stewards reacquaint herself before worshipping her ancestors.

Bai He understood Mrs. Lin's hard work very well, but he also had his own opinions, and he was not shaken by the hostility of the eldest lady towards him, so he hugged his fists and said to Mrs. Lin: "Madame's love, it really flatters the younger generation." But I've always been lazy, and such an important position in the council chamber is really not suitable for me, and I ask my wife to take it back. ”

"Child, Yun'er, she has always been straightforward and quick-hearted, you don't have to take her words to heart." Mrs. Lin said seriously, she thought that he had scruples because of the eldest lady.

"Madame is overwhelmed. The eldest lady is just talking about things, and the younger generation does not blame her, on the contrary, they admire the selflessness of the eldest lady. Bai He shook his head and smiled, speaking bluntly.

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect him to be so generous, but when she remembered the scene when he kissed the second lady's hand just now, she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart: "Hmph, I don't know if it's a pretentious gesture." ”

Mrs. Lin asked, "Then why are you?" ”

"That's right, Xiaobai." The fourth master also opened his mouth to persuade, "With such an important position in the council hall, how many people can't get in if they want to, why do you refuse?" If it's because of the opposition of the housekeepers, you can rest assured. As long as you nod your head, even if you pull down this old face, you will have to take a certain position. ”
