Chapter 61: Reprimand
Whether or not Wufang came to speak for Mrs. Lin or not, Xiao Bai had no heart to guess, but Lin Wenjuan's unprovoked trouble here quickly reached the ears of the Lin family, and they let Xiao Bai leave alone without saying goodbye that night, and did not ask in the next two days, just like the last time Xiao Bai and Lin Wenjuan broke up unhappily, and they tacitly agreed with each other.
Two days later, this day was the last day of the troupe in the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Lin rested for noon, came to Hongluyuan to listen to the play, just approached, and heard a sentence: "It's unbearable to see the eldest lady being eccentric." She was suddenly angry, and she didn't know where she got the strength, she overturned a round table on the spot, the dishes and incense burners were shattered to the ground, and the actor on the stage was also frightened and lost his voice.
The quiet needle drop in the garden could be heard, and Lin Zhang ran over in a panic, but was hit on the leg by Mrs. Lin with a cane, and her eyes were teary in an instant, "What's wrong with the old lady?" ”
"Which one doesn't have a long eye for this play? Do you dare to respond? They make fun of your two daughters, and you can sit still! Bring me the list of tricks! ”
Lin Zhangshi hurriedly held down Mrs. Lin, feeling very aggrieved, today is the last day, whether it is Lin Wenhai or Lin Dongyue, when she came halfway, the play had already started, and she couldn't let those plays stop singing, wouldn't it be even more of a joke? "Old lady, don't be careful, this play is the best song of this opera troupe, there is no other meaning, what is the identity of our Lin Mansion in Hui County, where does anyone dare to make fun of my daughter?"
Old Madam Lin shook off Lin Zhang's hand and shouted angrily: "Give them silver!" Get the hell out of them now! "It's coming, it's still ruined.
When night fell, Lin Zhang's family finished dealing with the follow-up trivial matters, and came to Mrs. Lin's yard with a tired face, at this time Lin Dongyue, Lin Wenhai, Lin Wenjuan, and Chen Heng were all there, and the dinner table next to them was already cold, and several people were all frowning and full of worries. Before she could sit down, she heard Mrs. Lin ask, "Who ordered the "Phoenix Returning to the Nest"?" ”
Lin Zhang was slightly stunned for a moment, his eyes crossed Chen Heng's body, and said with a smile: "It's all over, why is the old lady still asking about this?" ”
"Who the hell is it? You are in charge of the Lin Mansion, is it possible that you can't even understand the list of plays? "When the troupe enters the house, whatever hosts and guests you want to listen to can be written on the play list.
Lin Zhang didn't speak, but saw Chen Heng stand up, leaned over and said, "Grandmother, don't ask your mother-in-law, my mother ordered it." ”
With a "bang", the tea cup in Mrs. Lin's hand shattered at Chen Heng's feet, "Invite her well, she won't come, do you have to wait until the Lin Mansion makes a joke and then come to add icing on the cake?" ”
Lin Wenjuan immediately got up, guarded Chen Heng's side and said, "Grandmother, what are you doing!" It's the old woman's fault, and it's not Chen Heng's fault! ”
"Shut up!" Old Madam Lin scolded, "I don't ask you about your mistakes, you're still arrogant!" ”
"Wen Juan! Don't be unreasonable with your grandmother! Lin Wenhai dragged Lin Wenjuan behind, and said to Mrs. Lin: "Grandmother, it's Wenjuan's fault, she's still a child, don't be angry with her, watch out for your body." ”
"You're not sensible too!" Old Madam Lin angrily knocked on the ground with her cane, and the sound of the carpet was dull and depressing, "She's married!" How can you still have the face to say that she is a child! Old Madam Lin held her cane and nodded between Lin Dongyue and Lin Zhang, "It's because of you!" A pampered child who feels like he is the best in the world! It's good to let go and just look at other children! Look at these two siblings! There is a fool in a nest, and there is no one who is smart and sensible! Especially Wen Juan! ”
Lin Wenjuan was a little unconvinced, what did she do wrong? Just as he was about to speak, he was glared back by Lin Wenhai, and tears of grievance swirled.
"Are you still wronged?" Old Madam Lin shouted, "What did you do right?" Let's just say the Chen family, you have to marry, you have to marry! I got married and shook my face all day long! No matter how Chen Heng's mother behaves, after all, she is your mother-in-law, don't do to others what you don't want to do, now it's okay, people are not muddy! Let the drama sing well, half of Huicheng will laugh at our Lin Mansion! ”
Chen Heng had no choice but to apologize again: "My mother never meant it. ”
Old Madam Lin sneered: "You know what the Lin family does to you, right?" Wen Juan married you, the Lin Mansion was polite and thoughtful from beginning to end, and did things properly, your father-in-law valued you, and the Lin Mansion didn't ask you for anything in return, your Chen family is good, one counts as one, and no one is sensible! Of course, this matter is still complaining about Wenjuan! She only understands the trivial things of the Lin Mansion, where does she understand the sinister outside? I can't even hear what I say, I'm a fool! ”
Lin Wenjuan finally cried, and Chen Heng sighed: "Wenjuan is a very simple girl, and I will definitely take good care of her in the future." ”
"Take care? The result is to make her die for you, good or bad, and in the end, she doesn't even want her own relatives! How can you Chen Heng be virtuous? If you want a county magistrate to run around for your business, you also want your wife to scold the little sister who doesn't know it! Do you take care of? Because of you, the Lin family is turned upside down! If it weren't for Wen Juan's love for you! Whoever wants to die or live will marry you! Even if I tie her up and go to be a sister-in-law, I won't let her enter the door of your Chen family!" ”
"All right, Mother!" Lin Dongyue finally spoke, "It's up to me for this!" If it weren't for me, Wen Juan wouldn't have gone to Xiaobai, wouldn't it be okay for me to compensate her tomorrow? Don't scold Chen Heng anymore, it's not easy for him, Wen Juan feels sorry for him, so he will lose his sense of proportion, the two sisters have a deep relationship, Xiaobai won't be really angry. ”
"Look!" Old Madam Lin smiled angrily, "I still don't understand what the current situation is!" I think you'd better enshrine your good son-in-law, and count on him to glorify your ancestors in the future! ”
"That's not what the lord meant, old lady!" Lin Zhang said hurriedly.
"Shut up! Outsiders only say that you are virtuous and virtuous, but you ask yourself which of them you occupy! It's true that children are your future, but what about you? Do you look like a mother? But you are good for them, and all things are good for them, according to their hearts? Wen Juan's life is a mess, just call you to clean up the aftermath, what about Wen Hai? I haven't married a wife until now! You're her mother! You can't care if he's incompetent! Do you know why I didn't discuss some things with you? I don't want to hear everything as I please! .....”
Lin Wenhai frowned, although he was also angry that Chen Heng's mother used the troupe to mock the emotional entanglement between Lin Wenjuan, Xiaobai and Chen Heng, but then again, Chen Heng is his own family after all, he is the husband of his little sister, and his grandmother has always been kind, why is she so angry because of this incident today, and almost everyone is scolded, "Sun Ming'er listened to her mother's arrangement and married his wife. ”
"Do you buy vegetables at the market?" Old Madam Lin sneered, "It's really not an ordinary fool! Standing is also a good man who stands up to the sky, and was dragged into the water, you are not afraid that others will tell you and the girl of the Chen family, I am also afraid that others will say that my grandson is weaker than that girl! ”
Lin Wenhai's face turned red and he stopped talking, Chen Heng bit his lip and said, "Auntie has already sent Sister Yinru to recuperate elsewhere." ”
"Do you hear that? It's such a big fuss, and she's still someone's sister! Look at you again! Xiaobai is on the family tree of the Lin family! Old Madam Lin slapped the table suddenly, "Xiaobai has helped Wen Hai, if it weren't for her, Wen Hai would be finished!" Those merchants complained about the Lin Mansion, and he didn't even think about the position of the president! Wen Juan, what about you? You're with Chen Heng, but what about Xiaobai? Both of you should remember that you owe her! ”
Lin Dongyue frowned and said: "Mother is a little too good to Xiaobai, she is young, I am afraid that she will be proud of this kindness." ”
"What do you mean, did you see her provoke your guests with this favor?" Old Madam Lin couldn't help but ask, seeing that Lin Dongyue didn't speak as if admitting, she suddenly laughed, "Just with your eyes?" Did you see that? Before your distinguished guest saved your son, Xiaobai rescued Wenhai first! ”
Lin Wenjuan wiped away her tears and said, "Xiaobai's temperament, I don't need my father to see it with my own eyes!" She usually respects anyone, and she looks like she is not afraid of anyone! I believe it when she said that she made the eighth master unhappy, not only that, but she also said that she looked down on Chen Heng, and she also disliked that the official position of the husband and wife was too low, and she had only seen the city guard! ”
"There's something wrong with what she said!" Old Madam Lin asked rhetorically, "Except that you father and daughter treat Chen Heng as a treasure, what is he!" And your father, who has been in the position of county magistrate for so many years, if he really has the ability, he would have met the governor and the prefect a long time ago, do you still have to wait until that day when the eighth master comes to the door? One by one, you can't see anywhere else in your eyes except for Huicheng! ”
"Then she's not right! Dad is also her father, Chen Heng is also her brother-in-law after all, how can she say that! Lin Wenjuan choked up.
"You say you're sisters now? She tolerated you everywhere, thinking about your little favor at the beginning, you told me, what did you think about her, and what did you say that day for Chen Heng! You said that Xiaobai shouldn't enter the gate of the Lin Mansion! How can you do that to her! Old Madam Lin was heartbroken.
Lin Zhang's heart chuckled, and he got up and asked, "Wen Juan, is this what you said?" It's your grandmother's decision! Her face turned a little pale, and she knew in her heart that Mrs. Lin's sudden anger was not because Chen Heng's mother ordered a phoenix to return to the nest.
Since she became the daughter-in-law of the Lin Mansion, she has been filial to Mrs. Lin, and after a long time, there are some similarities with Mrs. Lin in some places, such as looking down on Chen Heng, she will ignore everything about Chen Heng, including his future and his mother's stupidity. And she herself is a person who knows how to be filial to her elders, make her elders feel appropriate, how to love her children, and make her children close to joy, so she likes Xiaobai very much, just because Lin Wenjuan likes it, and because Mrs. Lin values it. Lin Zhang can see that after a long time, Mrs. Lin values Xiaobai more than Lin Wenjuan likes Xiaobai, if anyone despises this value, they despise Mrs. Lin.
Lin Wenjuan didn't dare to move, and Mrs. Lin smiled: "You think about the foolish things you did, no one knows, right?" If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have time to worry that Xiaobai would not be able to hear these after going to see it! Wen Juan, Wen Juan, you really disappointed me! You've taken my words off a deaf ear! ”
"Mother!" Lin Dongyue couldn't help but stand up, "Xiaobai is still an outsider after all, mother, don't scold us because of this outsider, the eighth master is gone, I haven't found anyone until now, Chen Heng's matter is gone, and you are still worried about whether Xiaobai is unhappy because of Wen Juan, it's really... Ay! ”
"Good! That's great! Old Madam Lin also stood up, her eyes turned on several people, and fell on Lin Wenhai, "What about you?" You also treat Xiaobai as an outsider, do you think that no matter how the Lin Mansion treats her, it is all right? ”
Lin Wenhai frowned slightly and said, "Father is right, Xiaobai and He Wenjuan are sisters, at most they have a temper, and they won't really get angry." ”
"Boom"! Old Madam Lin smacked the ground with a cane, "Don't forget what this Laoshizi's birthday banquet is for!" You've let me down so much, just like your dad! It's all mediocrity! None of the people who are desperate to help you under your nose can be seen! She was so disappointed, in fact, she had been disappointed since a year ago, and now she had nothing to say and left without looking back.
