Chapter 44: Strong
Lin Qingwan glanced at her, turned her head directly and asked the sixth uncle, "Sixth uncle, is this our Lin family's daughter-in-law or aunt?" ”
The sixth uncle's face was ugly, and he secretly glared at the woman and said, "She is your seventh brother's daughter-in-law, the last time you saw her, she was still young, and it is normal not to recognize her." ”
Lin Qingwan bowed her head and said with a light smile: "Sixth uncle, the girls in the family also want to study, and they are rational in reading, I think it is better to take out some of the money to build a primary school, so that all the girls in the clan can go to study, and also learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and needlework, and understand more truth." Otherwise, if the parents are bad, they will not be able to teach the child well, and the child's life will be ruined. The clan should always think more about their children. ”
The three sect elders turned pale, twitched the corners of their mouths and did not speak.
When she was in Yangzhou, although Lin Qingwan was also strong, she had always been very respectful in her mouth, and it was the first time that she was so cynical as today, and the three sect elders couldn't accept it.
Lin Qingwan had a thorn on her body, directly stabbing the person who crossed the thunder pool, she glanced at the woman contemptuously, but said with a smile: "By the way, sister-in-law, thank you for your greetings, my mother-in-law is very good." ”
The woman was half-puzzled by Lin Qingwan's sarcasm just now, but she would look at her eyes and know that Lin Qingwan must be saying bad things about her, and she wanted to quarrel, but under the faces and fierce eyes of the three sect elders, she opened her mouth and closed it timidly.
Hearing Lin Qingwan's words, he laughed and said, "Your mother-in-law is fine, why don't you stay in Yangzhou to serve your in-laws?" Even if your mother-in-law is kind and doesn't ask you to stay in the morning and dusk, you should stay by your side and serve, if she has a headache and brain fever......"
Lin Qingwan glanced around with a smile, and saw that there were many people around, and everyone listened with their ears pricked up, so she cut off her words with a smile and said: "Thank you Seventh Sister-in-law for your concern, but Seventh Sister-in-law rarely goes out, but I'm afraid that I don't know what's going on outside." My brother was a little selfish and knew that I was used to the life of the Lin family, so I agreed with the Xie family before I got married, and I would return to the sect after I got married. ”
"Originally, my brother and the three elders agreed to give me the score, but before I could do it, His Majesty sent down grace and asked the angel to come and help me do it, and now my household registration is still here in Suzhou Lin's, and I also set up a female household, as the head of the long house, why, the seventh sister-in-law didn't see it when the angel came?" Lin Qingwan tilted her head and looked at her with a smile, "The seventh sister-in-law is too quiet, don't you go out to see such a big thing?" ”
There was a burst of laughter around, Shichiro's daughter-in-law was quiet? Don't laugh, the most noisy person in the clan is her, every day the east and west of the family are short, half a day's work can walk from the east of the village to the west of the village, whose chicken lays an extra egg today She knows.
The woman's face turned red, and she was about to reply, but Lin Qingwan had already lowered her face and said: "By the way, Seventh Sister-in-law, I know that you have no malicious intentions, but you are just short-sighted, so you will say things like 'send a wedding card home'." It's just a matter of listening to these words from our fellow clansmen, and the shame is only lost in the clan, but if outsiders know about it, they still think that my Lin family's daughter-in-law is so unreasonable. ”
"My wedding with my grandson is naturally a happy event for me, but my grandson has passed away, please respect him."
The lady opened her mouth and was about to cry out, but the sixth uncle had already shouted violently: "Enough, don't get out of here, shameful things." ”
The woman shrunk her neck, took two steps back timidly, and was dragged back by the concubine of the house.
"What are you messing with her, didn't you see that the seventh child went to the funeral and didn't leave behind, okay?"
The woman was unwilling to say: "She is a girl who married outside, and the water spilled by her married daughter, why should she dictate the affairs of the clan?" He even sold so many properties in the clan......"
"Shut up, the seventh is still kneeling in the ancestral hall, don't let the clan see the jokes again......"
Lin Qingwan's eyebrows swept around sharply, and the people who made eye contact with her lowered their heads one after another.
Lin Yubin stood beside Lin Qingwan, pursed his lips and watched, his little hands tightly clutching the handkerchief.
Lin Qingwan reached out and took her hand, "Let's go, let's go see the cemetery." ”
Lin Run came with a few homeowners, all of whom were the same generation as Lin Qingwan and were her brothers.
Lin Qingwan had already memorized the genealogy of the Lin family, and had also seen the portrait painted by Lin Jiang, and she could tell who was who after looking at it carefully, so she called Lin Yubin forward without waiting for Lin Run's introduction, and called an uncle, an uncle, and an uncle.
not only introduced their head of the house, but also made their blood relationship with Changfang clear, for example, this is the eighth uncle, Lin Yubin's Taizu and his family's Lie Ancestor are brothers, and they have the same father.
Well, five suits have been released.
The three sect elders glanced at each other, and sighed even more in their hearts, the clansmen who followed Lin Runlai did not dare to underestimate Lin Qingwan.
Although the genealogy has to be memorized, Lin Qingwan is a girl and still young, so she is not very strict in this regard.
Unlike boys, the first thing they do after learning Chinese characters is to memorize the family tree.
Lin Jiang raised his sister as a boy?
After seeing the ceremony, the group went to see the cemetery.
Lin Jiang was going to be buried with his wife, and he left his place after the Shang family was buried, and later he asked people to expand it one after another, and the tomb was built, and it was taken care of by the servants of the long house at this time.
Because the Shang family was buried underneath, it was impossible for Lin Qingwan to go to the cemetery to see the situation at this time, so as not to disturb the ancestors, so she only walked around it, and after confirming that there was no problem, she discussed the matter of burial with the clan.
After doing all this, the sun had already set in the west, Lin Run invited her to stay, "The fourth brother and the seventh brother who went to the funeral yesterday have not set a punishment, why don't you stay and take a look?" ”
Lin Qingwan shook her head and said, "The fifth brother and the three uncles in the clan can just watch and handle it, and I won't get involved." ”
"How can it be said to be mixed, this is about your long house." Lin Run intends to give Lin Qingwan a chance to stand up.
Lin Qingwan shook her head, she had already established her authority just now, and it was not suitable for her to be strong or soft in the future.
It's inevitable that it's too strong to be too strong, and it will definitely be annoying at that time, although she doesn't like the clansmen, but she doesn't want to intensify the contradictions between them at this time.
Soft and even worse, if you soften your attitude at this time, then all the words and strengths just now will be in vain.
So it's better not to show up.
However, she couldn't ignore it, she smiled: "I believe that the fifth brother can handle it impartially, and these things are also based on clan rules, just do it according to it, isn't the result the same whether I appear or not?" The hour is not early, so I will not stay. ”
Everyone was silent, the punishment of the clan rules was very strict, and the others looked at each other, it seemed that the fourth and seventh were kicked to the iron plate this time.
Lin Run was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely follow the clan rules." ”
Although it will offend the people in the four rooms, if it is done well, it can also give him prestige.
Lin Qingwan was satisfied and led Lin Yubin home.
Lin Yubin smiled lightly and got into the carriage with her sister-in-law, and her face sank until she got into the car, and she said sullenly: "Sister-in-law, they are separated from us by eighteen bends, why should we be subject to them?" ”
Lin Yubin endured it and said, "Why didn't Daddy divide our room?" ”
Lin Qingwan sighed, stretched out her hand and touched her head and said: "Because we are the descendants of the long house, if we want to divide them, then we will also divide them, unless our long house is extinct, otherwise the Suzhou Lin family is our representative of this house." ”
"If you can divide it, your grandfather was divided when he was there, and he hated them more than your father." Lin Qingwan said in a low voice: "However, even what he can't do, your father can't do." ”
Lin Yubin's eyes were red, "But they are too bad, their father passed away, they didn't say help, they even fell into the well, how can there be such a clansman?" ”
"So you have to become strong yourself," Lin Qingwan said softly: "Our Changfang is very prestigious in the clan, but it was laid down by your great-grandfather, uncle, grandfather and father, if we have a boy, then he may inherit the prestige left by the ancestors, but we don't, you and I are both girls." ”
"But what about girls? The world habitually looks down on girls, but you say, sister-in-law or you are worse than boys of the same age? ”
Lin Yubin shook his head, pursed his lips and said, "My sister-in-law is very powerful, even more powerful than the fifth uncle." ”
Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "However, they don't know, so we have to let them know that not only ability, but also morality." Because ability can be powerful, and morality can be hoped. Your father's prestige did not fall from the sky out of thin air. ”
Lin Yubin was thoughtful, and only nodded halfway: "I know sister-in-law, I won't think about breaking away from the family anymore, but going to conquer them." ”
Because they can't get rid of it, they are the descendants of the long house, and only the side branches leave and start another, and there is no reason for the descendants to leave.
So if you can't get rid of it, you can only adapt and conquer.
Lin Qingwan looked at her with relief and smiled, this is difficult for a girl, it is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, it is a way to go, it is much better than no road at all.
When the aunt and nephew returned to the Lin Mansion, they received news that Zhou Tingshi had brought a lot of people to Fu'an Temple to incense Lin Jiang today.
Lin Qingwan bowed her head and said, "Send news to your relatives and old friends, the old man will be buried in three days, and those who are interested can come to the funeral." Steward Lin, you are an acquaintance, when the time comes, write down all the people who come, and you will return the gift in the future. ”
"Yes."
