Chapter 329: Family Banquet, Conversation
When entering the main house of Haitang Zhai, many dishes have already been prepared on the dining table, and everyone is seated.
Shen Zhan led Ye Lingwu to the bottom of the hall, and the two of them let go of their hands and raised their arms together.
"Say hello to my grandmother, mother, second uncle, and second aunt." Shen Zhan said.
"Say hello to the old lady, the main mother, the second uncle, the second uncle, and the two girls." Ye Lingwu followed.
Qin Mingyu turned a deaf ear with a straight face, the couple of Zhao and Shen Congwen were polite, and greeted them twice with a smile, Shen Pan'er and Shen Yue'er just watched everyone's reaction and didn't squeak.
In the end, Mrs. Shen, who was still on the top, said, "Sit down, don't stand." ”
Ye Lingwu hesitated for a moment, and when he was hesitating whether to sit at the end of the table, he was dragged by Shen Zhan to Qin Mingyu's side, and then he was pressed to kneel beside him.
Everyone looked at each other.
Someone snickered in his heart.
The two girls in the second room saw that Ye Lingwu was forced to be obedient in front of Shen Zhan, and she looked completely different from usual, and couldn't help sighing: If you get married, you can't be disciplined to death, it's really pitiful, but it's also really interesting.
Someone looked dazed.
Zhao's eyes kept wandering between Shen Zhan and Ye Lingwu, and he remembered that his son used to like Ye Lingwu, and at that time he always felt that the disparity between the two was not a good match, but now she wants to be his nephew and daughter-in-law, and she can't say what it feels like in her heart.
Some people hate that iron does not make steel.
Qin Mingyu saw that his son couldn't wait to hold the person beside him in the palm of his hand all the time, and before he ran out of gas, he was already full.
Someone was calm and indifferent.
Shen Congwen only returned to Beijing yesterday, and last night he listened to Zhao talk about what happened in the capital and the Hou Mansion these days, and the accident in his heart was an accident, but he is now a Buddhist, and he feels that as long as he goes with the flow and truly loves each other, there is nothing bad about it.
The room was quiet.
I could only hear the movement of the maid serving the food.
Ye Lingwu stiffened, lowered his head slightly, and just wanted to be a transparent person, but at this time, he heard Shen Pan'er suddenly say in a loud voice: "The eldest brother's wedding banquet is approaching, and the third sister hasn't thought about what to give a congratulatory gift." ”
Shen Yue'er said: "The congratulatory gifts can be put aside first, I think it is necessary to congratulate first." Congratulations to the big brother, congratulations to Sister Lingwu. ”
"Yes, yes," Shen Pan'er echoed, "It's time to congratulate first, congratulations to the eldest brother and Sister Ling Wu on their new marriage." ”
Shen Zhan straightened his waist slightly, arched his hand and said, "Thank you two sisters." ”
At this point, there was no communication at the family dinner.
At the end of the banquet, Qin Mingyu asked Fu's mother to leave Ye Lingwu to speak in the side hall.
The hall is overly quiet.
Ye Lingwu walked into the house anxiously, and saw Qin Mingyu leaning on the Hu bed, with a trace of white smoke coming from the incense burner on the small desk in hand, and the flower windows around him were slightly opened, and the fragrance of begonia flowers wafted in.
She approached lightly and said, "Master, you are looking for me." ”
Qin Mingyu slowly opened his eyes and looked at her quietly for a while before he said, "Sit down first and speak slowly." ”
Ye Lingwu sat down with an unnatural expression.
At this time, Qin Mingyu sat upright.
I don't know if she has been angry for days, Qin Mingyu doesn't look as bright as before, and the bright light red silk skirt on her body can't give her a look.
"Speaking of which, since you entered Beijing four years ago, I have never spoken to you, and it seems that I have never even spoken a few words."
Ye Lingwu frowned and said, "The housewife is busy with trivial matters in the house every day, and Lingwu is often in Jinghetang, so she doesn't have many opportunities to meet, so naturally she rarely talks. ”
Qin Mingyu chuckled inadversely, then picked up the teacup on the small desk, picked up the tea lid slowly, blew the tea leaves in it a few times, and took a sip before saying: "These words are all excuses, I didn't like you from the first time I saw you, and naturally I didn't want to deal with you." ”
Ye Lingwu is also a person who has been a housewife for three years, and now in the face of Qin Mingyu's difficulties, she can also calmly say: "The mastermother is kind, although she doesn't like me, she can still allow me to live in the Hou Mansion." ”
Qin Mingyu put it in the teacup, glanced at her instead, and said, "Do you know why I don't like you?" ”
Ye Lingwu frowned slightly, and replied: "My mother has a relationship with the Hou Mansion. ”
Qin Mingyu said: "You still know. I heard that your mother died early, and when you were very young, she loved to tell you about her in the Ningbei Hou Mansion? ”
"No," Ye Lingwu said, "Mother never told me about her entering the Marquis Mansion in Beijing and Ningbei, and I heard about it later. ”
Qin Mingyu seemed a little surprised, was silent for a moment, and then said: "You look very similar to your mother, especially those eyes, I don't want to see you because of this, yes, you should understand that I don't agree with your marriage with Bang Zhou." ”
Ye Lingwu's hand under the sleeve tightened, and his face did not change: "Lingwu understands." ”
"Three years ago, Bang Zhou told me that he was going to marry you, and then I was really angry, and it wasn't until later that you married the Jiang family that I felt at ease, I was afraid that the things of my parents' generation would repeat themselves, I thought it was a good thing for you to marry the Jiang family, who would have thought that the next three years would really keep me awake at night, and the three years in northern Xinjiang were the three years that I had ever seen my son live the loneliest three years."
Ye Lingwu's heart trembled.
“…… Bang Zhou is the same as his father, he is more serious about emotional matters than anyone else, but he is more persistent than his father, if he is not the person who identifies it, he will not settle in this life even if he does not marry a wife and have children, if he identifies someone else, I can still breathe a sigh of relief, but it just so happens that it is you who make me feel guilty. Qin Mingyu smiled bitterly.
Ye Lingwu tightened his brows, and thought: "Mastermother, I always remember some of my mother's words before she died, she told me that people have to look forward, the old marquis looked forward so he married you and had children, Shen Zhan was also looking forward in the three years in Northern Xinjiang, but he looked at it differently from what our women thought, he was never lonely, how could a world-famous character only have love in his heart." ”
Qin Mingyu looked at Ye Lingwu with complicated eyes: "He has the world in mind, but when he meets you, he changes." ”
Ye Lingwu said: "Master Hou has not changed, the world is righteousness, love is righteousness, he knows too well what he wants, so he will marry me." ”
Qin Mingyu was stunned, and actually felt that what she said was right.
“…… You know him. She sighed slightly.
Ye Lingwu said: "The master mother doesn't also know the Hou Ye, otherwise how could she easily agree to this family business." ”
Qin Mingyu glanced at her and said, "Even if you understand me, you are unwilling." ”
"Then why did the mistress agree?"
Qin Mingyu was speechless.
Why?
What else could it be?
It's not that I'm afraid that I won't agree to this family business, my uncompetitive son really wants to be alone to the end, and when her old hands are weak, she can't wait to hold her grandson.
