Xun Qingran was originally sitting near the door, talking to several girls in her family, and when she saw the Fang family coming in before anyone else, she hurriedly stood up. Lin looked up and saw Fang's family, paused, then changed his smile to a smile, hurriedly got up from his seat, and greeted him.

“…… I can't get up when I'm still sick, why do I get up, is this worrying about me? …… My wife's complexion is very bad. There is me here, and my wife should go back to recuperate with peace of mind, I have to entertain the clansmen, and I really can't spare my hands to take care of my wife. As he spoke, he gave a look to a few people who were waiting next to him, and asked them to help Fang Clan down.

Fang Clan was in the house just now, and he began to feel uneasy. Things didn't go the way she expected. I don't know if Aunt Xin has a plan, but Master Xun has no intention of canceling the ceremony. She had to say in person that she wanted to postpone the date, but Master Xun didn't agree. Then the second old man and his wife came too early, and the Lin family's affectionate attitude was a little strange, and the Fang family felt that something was very wrong.

When she received the news that Master Xun had invited the Lin family to be in charge of cooking the banquet and entertaining the guests, she began to get busy.

She was sure that this ancestral hall would not be opened, so the banquet and other arrangements were just a formality. As soon as the Lin family takes over, they will inevitably discover the inside story.

Fang began to struggle. On the one hand, she is unwilling, Xun Junhui's existence has always been a thorn in her heart. For so many years, preventing Xun Junhui from entering the family tree has almost become an obsession of hers. As long as Xun Junhui is not included in the family tree, he is not a descendant of the Xun family, and her son is the only heir of Dafang.

But now, all the tricks have been exhausted, and after all, Xun Junhui can't be stopped from entering the family tree. She struggled inwardly, wanting to continue pretending to be sick and not wanting to go to the front to entertain guests. But on the other hand, she knew that the second wife was not a generous person, and she took advantage of this opportunity to smear her in front of the clansmen. But she pretended to be sick and pretended to be too full, and now she wants to go out to the council, which is tantamount to slapping herself in the face, and her face is really not good-looking.

In the end, weighing the pros and cons, the Fang clan still asked people to wait for them to freshen up and change their clothes, and came with a thick skin. Since she gave up her face, she naturally wouldn't be sent away like this.

"The elders of the clan have come from afar, even if they are sick, they will come even if they have to struggle."

The Fang clan let Xun Shulan help her, and greeted the female guests in the clan one by one, saying kind words that were not well received.

As the daughter-in-law of the second room, Lin finally got such a face-revealing errand, so he was reluctant to give way. The Fang family had a ghost in his heart, and he was also very polite to the Lin family, and in the end, the two of them sat side by side at the bottom of the accompaniment. The female guests in the clan also asked about Fang's illness, and praised Fang's family, she was so sick that she still did not lack courtesy, and she was worthy of being a lady of the family and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xun family. When Lin heard it in his ears, his heart became uncomfortable.

Shaoqing, someone came to report the news, saying that Xun Junhui had worshiped his ancestors and entered the family tree. The eldest lord is leading people out of the ancestral hall and going to the west side hall. The person who came to deliver the message had already been instructed by Master Xun to listen to the orders of the Lin family, but the Fang family also sat on it. He was also clever, so he asked, "...... Ask the two wives if they want to start serving the food now. ”

Lin took out a silver-shelled pocket watch from the placket and looked at it, saying that the hour was about the same, and ordered the guests to be invited to the table and served immediately. She also got up from her seat and invited the ladies to the flower hall to take their seats.

Everyone went to the flower hall on the east side, the Lin family and the Fang family sat at a table with the elders of the clan, a young daughter-in-law from the near branch of the Xun family sat at a table with the daughter-in-law of the clan, and then the Xun Qingran sisters sat at a table with the girls. Yahuan Pozi came in with a bowl of fish, first all kinds of melons and fruits, and then hot dishes and soups, which were served like flowing water. Fang's chopsticks gave up the guests, and the banquet officially began.

"This Liao cucumber was bought and sent by my mother's brother when he went to the north to buy it, and my uncle tasted it." Lin Shi gave an old lady next to him a chopstick dish, then turned his head and smiled at Fang's family: "Sister-in-law has this on the menu, but the kitchen has not prepared it." When I asked, they were told that no one had told them to prepare this. It just so happened that the second master was going to hold a birthday for your niece, so he prepared some in advance. She is a small child, and she doesn't do much, where is there enough for today's use. The second master still got some from the restaurant in the town, but there was only red melon ginseng. My sister-in-law is too outward, and she lacks this, so she just has to go with me. Fortunately, this old man has entrusted me to take care of things, hehehe, my sister-in-law also tasted it, which is better than others. ”

Xun Qingran took advantage of the time to wash her hands, looked around, and found that on their table, there was Liao ginseng, but on the table of the daughters-in-law next to her was red melon ginseng.

There were three tables in total, and there were not a few sea cucumbers in total, but two were served. Naturally, the Fang clan was not prepared, and the Lin clan temporarily found something to make up for it. But with the Lin family's extravagant style, it is not difficult to get it from her family. The Lin family sent someone to tell the second master with great fanfare, which was actually to let the eldest master Xun know. also made a different sea cucumber, which is already very speculative. She was afraid that people wouldn't find out, so she said it like a homely gossip.

Xun Qingran thought to herself, but she was afraid that no one would believe that the Fang clan couldn't even do a few tables of sea cucumbers. Then, the mystery of this is worth pondering. The visitors are all housemothers, and they are in charge of a large family. Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, or aunt and daughter-in-law, who has not experienced something, naturally understands what is going on in their hearts.

After a few dishes, the Lin family prepared them in the same way. Fang Shi sat on the side, his face was a little unbearable, and he couldn't have a seizure.

Xun Shulan snapped her chopsticks and stood up and said, "Second wife, don't say anything......

Fang's side had already seen his daughter's appearance, and hurriedly gave her a look, asking her not to be reckless. Mama Chang also ran over and whispered, "Girl, sit down, so many sisters are watching there." This is a major event in the family, and the wife is sick and comes to accompany her, so the girl is a little uncomfortable, so she will accompany the sisters to eat first. ”

Xun Shufang sat on Xun Shulan's left, eating vegetables with her head down, without saying a word, that is, without blocking or persuading. Xun Shuyan sat on Xun Shulan's right, and turned her head to talk to a girl next to her. Xun Qingran knew that the Fang clan was at a loss, so he could only endure his anger at this time. If Xun Shulan makes a fuss, the Lin family will use the topic to play, and the Fang family will only be more embarrassed.

Fang's performance was really generous, and while covering up her words, saying that she was sick, maybe the people below took the opportunity to be lazy. also praised how rich the Lin family was, and how she did not distinguish between each other, and coaxed the Lin family to be happy.

Most of the people who ate a meal were very happy, and the second wife, Lin, was in the limelight today. She finally got this opportunity, stepped on the Fang clan fiercely, and felt that she was still unsatisfied, so she personally helped the Fang clan back to the room on the grounds that she was not worried about the Fang clan.

The Fang clan was already irritable in his heart, but the Lin clan was in a very good mood, and he was talking about what was going on at the table.

"Second wife, thanks to you today, I will ask the second master to kowtow to you another day. What you fill in today, I will also pick the good ones and send them to you, and you will not suffer. Alas, I've held on until now, and some of them can't hold on. Fang opened his mouth to see off the guests.

"My own family, the eldest wife is too much to see like this." Lin smiled, but he didn't say that he didn't need to pay it back, nor did he say that he wanted to leave. Fang Clan showed weakness everywhere today, she wanted to step on it again, so that Fang Clan would not dare to grow big in front of her in the future.

"The virtue of the eldest lady is also famous in our Yingchuan," Lin deliberately looked at Xun Qingran's hand and said, "I still remember that a few years ago, the second master had a nurse. Her family eats the second master's share, but she treats the second master like a slave. Hey, a child as old as the second master, there is no good place on this body, a piece of blue and a purple piece of land, and now I feel pitiful when I think about it. This is no mother's ......, hehe, look at my mouth. The nurse is the person who has to be used in front of the eldest wife, and she will be driven out when she says that she will be driven out, and she is not favoritist at all, who does not say that the eldest lady is virtuous. ”

Where does this mean that the Fang family is virtuous, and it is obviously that the Fang family instructed his cronies to abuse the concubine. Fang didn't expect the Lin family to use this old matter to scare her again, her angry face changed, she took a breath, and sneered: "If you want to talk about virtue, I don't think anyone can compare to the second wife." Don't say anything else, just say that the second wife is on the grange, but she has raised several wild children from nowhere, and the second wife is kind-hearted. ”

Xun Qingran once faintly heard someone say that the second master Xun has the best appearance, the best temper, and the most amorous one among the three brothers. Rao is strictly managed by the Lin family, and there are two aunts in the family, but they are just putting on a show, and they have nothing to do. But it's often unclear with the girls. There is always something that the Lin family can't see, and some of them give birth to children, and they are all sent to remote farms by the Lin family, where they are supported as slaves and left to fend for themselves.

In order to save face in front of people, the Fang clan has been patient, but now he can't bear it, so he uses this matter to fight back.

Lin's face turned pale, and he stopped talking, stood up and said goodbye, and left with his two daughters.

Xun Qingran saw that Fang's was in a bad mood, so he pulled the corner of Xun Shuzhi's clothes, signaling that it was time to retire. There was a little girl outside who reported that the master was here. Before the girls could open the curtain, Master Xun had already lifted the curtain angrily and stepped in. Xun Qingran and the others hurriedly stood up, and the Fang clan saw that Master Xun's face was not good, so he also got up from the couch.

"You all go down first." Master Xun instructed Xun Qingran and the others.

Xun Qingran hurriedly walked out, and before he left the house, Master Xun had already pointed at Fang's nose and reprimanded: "You, you did a good thing!" I said that I would open an ancestral hall for a banquet, and you took the menu to fool me, and you didn't prepare anything at all, and when it came to the end, you pretended to be sick and didn't take care of it, who are you trying to embarrass you? The second wife brought her own things, just for my Xun family's good face. You don't know how to be grateful, and you are sour, and you give the second wife a look. That's how you did your sister-in-law and mother-in-law? ”

The eldest lady's body trembled, she could no longer stand, and she held on to the table next to her with her hand so that she did not fall. Xun Shulan hurriedly ran back to support the Fang clan. Fang knew that it must be Lin's anger, and went out to say something in front of Master Xun, she was caught in this matter, but Master Xun didn't save her face at all, which made her angry and ashamed and regretful for a while, almost fainted, and her chest hurt.

"Master, who is this pleading, the concubine has worked hard for so many years......" Fang was about to plead, when he saw Mama Zhou stumbling in from outside.

"Mrs., Mrs., no, something is wrong."
