Chapter 328: The Second Coming
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Lin Ruhai's family arrived at Zhen's house in a carriage and was invited to attend the banquet held by Zhen Yingjia.
Looking at the few carriages at the door, it is a world of difference from the busy traffic of the year. Jia Min smiled sarcastically in his heart, the Zhen family is not as good as before, and Zhen Yingjia is also a rare person, but that ambition has not decreased by half a point like a raging fire. The last time Charlewu happened, it obviously didn't make him taste the bitterness, otherwise he wouldn't have the courage to hook up with someone like Zhao Qian, maybe Zhen Yingjia had been forced into a desperate situation, so Zhao Qian reached out to him, and he didn't hesitate to step forward and catch it.
The current identities of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai It stands to reason that the Zhen family, except for Mrs. Zhen, should be greeted outside the gate, not to mention that Lin Yao, the son of King Yan, came together today. But Zhen Yingjia didn't know if he deliberately wanted to give them a son as a husband and wife, and only let his four sons and daughters-in-law come to greet them, but Zhen Yingjia and his wife didn't show up.
Jia Min and Lin Ruhai don't have to fight for this face, Zhen Yingjia's behavior will only make others think that he doesn't understand the rules and is ungrateful. Because when Zhen Yingjia was in trouble, only the Lin family not only did not fall into the well but also contributed something to Zhen Yingjia, and these people with heads and faces in Jinling City knew it. Zhen Yingjia thought that taking advantage of these small details would be able to overwhelm Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, don't you know that Jinling City and even the entire Jiangnan are no longer under his control, who cares about these little tricks like children frolicking? It's just to add some jokes to the people of Jinling City.
Jia Min was led into Mrs. Zhen's yard by Grandma Zhen and the four of them, and Jia Min hadn't set foot here for several years. The scenery in this courtyard is still the same, but the old lady who used to talk and laugh with her is already in her last years.
I saw that Mrs. Zhen was half lying on the bed, her face was pale, her originally round face was now sunken cheeks, her cheekbones were high, and her cloudy eyes were half-squinted. It's really good-looking, I thought I had seen a fairy daughter! ”
"Old lady! This is the county lord of Huigui! Grandma Zhen leaned over to Mrs. Zhen and whispered.
"Who? What county lord is coming? Mrs. Zhen was even more confused when Grandma Zhen said this.
"Old lady, I am the third girl of Rongguo Mansion, Min'er!" Jia Min stepped forward and sat on the edge of Mrs. Zhen's bed, and took Mrs. Zhen's hand.
"The girl of Rongguofu...... Min'er ...... Ah! Isn't it Xiao Lang'er's mother-in-law! Old Lady Zhen's eyes suddenly flashed brightly.
"Yes! I am Lang'er's mother! Lang'er also came to the house today, and now she is still in the front yard with her father, and it is estimated that she will come in to greet you in a while! Jia Min smiled.
"Oops! That's great! I always asked them to pick up Xiao Lang'er to accompany me, but they would fool me all day long, a bad old woman, hey! I'm not going to be welcomed! When she said this, Mrs. Zhen was about to shed tears with a sad face.
Jia Min lowered her head and said nothing, the faces of the four grandmothers and concubines were beautiful, red and white for a while, and they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to lower their heads and pretend not to hear.
Today's banquet of the Zhen family, Zhen Han's family was probably entertaining guests in front, so he didn't serve in front of Mrs. Zhen, but looking at this scene, it is obvious that Mrs. Zhen is dissatisfied with Zhen Han's daily life, so she said those words in front of Jia Min. However, although Jia Min is a relative of the Zhen family, he is an outsider after all, so he is not good at making any comments on other people's family affairs, and he does not want to change the topic to build a ladder for the daughters-in-law of the Zhen family. So Jia Min just sat there, listening to Mrs. Zhen's constant chatter, telling her dissatisfaction with Zhen Han's eldest daughter-in-law.
The four granddaughters-in-law standing on the side, listening to Mrs. Zhen's increasingly unspeakable words, their faces were a little unbearable, and finally Grandma Zhen stubbornly opened her mouth to persuade: "Old lady! The county lord of Huigui is here to participate in the banquet in our house, and there are many guests waiting to meet the lord of Huigui, you see......"
"What do you mean? That's disgusting for me talking too much, isn't it? Oops! Why didn't I die immediately, and those unfilial beasts in the province dislike me, an old immortal! Mrs. Zhen was really sad now, crying and scolding.
Grandma Zhen couldn't raise her head when she was scolded by Mrs. Zhen, and she also felt very wronged, she lowered her head and sobbed silently, while the other three granddaughters-in-law looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, trying to bury their heads in their chests to reduce their sense of existence, at this time they were all glad that they were not the eldest granddaughter-in-law, and they would no longer be envious and jealous because the long house had the right to stewardship!
"What's going on? The old lady is crying sadly, haven't you heard and seen it? Why didn't anyone come forward to persuade them? ”
Zhen Yingjia and Lin Ruhai and his son heard his mother's crying as soon as they came, and the vulgar words they scolded made Zhen Yingjia feel shameless when he heard it, not to mention that he was still in front of Lin Ruhai and his son, which made Zhen Yingjia feel that he couldn't raise his head in front of Lin Ruhai. Annoyed and angry, he sharply reprimanded the four daughters-in-law present.
Jia Min raised his head, his eyes met Zhen Yingjia, Zhen Yingjia was stunned at first, but seeing that Jia Min was still sitting on the edge of the bed where Mrs. Zhen was half-lying, she didn't mean to get up at all. Zhen Yingjia lowered his eyes to hide the anger in his eyes, and then reluctantly gave Jia Min a salute.
Zhen Yingjia was about to be depressed to death by Lin Ruhai's family today. He deliberately didn't go to the gate to greet their family, just thinking about giving them a dismount and holding a shelf to be an elder in front of a crowd of guests. Who knew that as soon as Lin Ruhai and his two sons entered the main hall, all the guests stepped forward and saluted Lin Yu first, and then saluted Lin Ruhai. put Zhen Yingjia behind him, not to mention, Zhen Yingjia was very rude, and really slapped Zhen Yingjia in the face.
Zhen Yingjia had no choice, in order to save some face, he pretended to come forward to salute the Lin family's father and son, who knew that Lin Ruhai and Lin Yao did not stop them silently, but only after Zhen Yingjia finished saluting, he said, "Uncle Zhen (Grandfather Zhen) is polite!" ", Zhen Yingjia's headache.
Fortunately, after some greetings, Lin Ruhai proposed to visit Mrs. Zhen, which made Zhen Yingjia feel a little better, but he didn't know that arriving in Mrs. Zhen's courtyard made him even more angry and aggrieved.
