She actually said she was her stepmother as soon as she opened her mouth! It’s so funny!
He raised his hand and held the hairpin on his temples, revealing the gold bracelet wrapped around his wrist: "Old Mrs. Su's words are too hard to accept. Whether the stepmother is good or bad, the third-bedroom children of the Su family will soon realize it.
?"
"Jun Yan is extremely affectionate to my grandchildren. If you don't know better, you will think that it is all because of Jun Yan." Chen Yu said slowly and softly: "This is what the daughter-in-law of the Su family looks like. As for Lin
When Madam comes to visit, you might as well tell her what you want to do."
Han wanted to say that things would be different once he entered the house, but after all, he prided himself on being a decent person, so he couldn't say such things directly. Instead, he changed the subject and said: "The rumors outside are just that. It's been some time since Jun Yan came back, right?
It is against the rules to live in the Su family without telling the matchmaker that you are married. Mrs. Su should know that this woman's reputation is more important than her life. She doesn't care about the Lin family's face, and she doesn't take the Su family's face seriously either, right?"
"You are here to stir up trouble." Chen Yu's face darkened: "Where did the rumors come from? Who is the reason why Jun Yan didn't go back to the Lin Mansion? Does Mrs. Lin care whether the Su family is marrying a matchmaker? As for reputation being more important than fate,
What Mrs. Lin said is interesting, but with your attitude, I will not let my daughter-in-law go back to the Lin family. I have also heard about the secret affairs of the wealthy family. What if you use this big hat to force my good daughter-in-law to death again? "
Han was about to speak.
Chen Yu said calmly: "As a courtier's wife, it is prudent to take the rules seriously, but when you, Mrs. Lin, face this super-class imperial wife like me, how do you behave?"
"You! Are you using your power to bully others?" Han said anxiously.
Chen Yu smiled: "The Su family is using their power to bully others? The Su family just doesn't want to be led by the nose. If they really want to use their power to bully others, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch it, Mrs. Lin!"
Mrs. Han had already stood up, blushing and about to start a quarrel, when a voice came from outside: "Grandma, I'm coming!"
Chen Yu raised her eyelids and looked at Mr. Han, saying word by word: "Today I will let you see who I am fighting for! Bullying you? You don't even deserve it!"
After the words fell, Xiao Qiyu came in with a robe from outside: "It's snowing in the capital. Grandma, I'll take you into the palace to enjoy the snow."
Han felt like five thunders were hitting her head, and she turned around and knelt down: "My wife, I kowtow to your Majesty."
Xiao Qiyu glanced at Mr. Han: "Who are you? Go out, I'm here to pick you up."
"Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Han wished she could just get out. After leaving in a hurry, she felt very weak. Although she had been favored by the Su family, she never expected that the current emperor would
Call the old lady of the Su family, grandma!
What kind of grand favor is this? It is simply a knife that kills people without blood!
When I arrived, I was very angry, but when I left, there was no one to see me off.
In the room, Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "Did Qi Yu see the Lin family's carriage?"
"Well, after seeing it, I know that the Lin family's back house cannot survive. If the lesson this time is not enough, grandma will not give me face." Xiao Qiyu sat down, poured herself tea and took a sip: "Today
Mr. Lin knelt down and begged to become an official. I agreed and rewarded him with some gold and silver. There have been no mistakes in the Ministry of Etiquette for so many years. He is a good official."
Chen Yu shook his head: "It seems that not only Mrs. Lin can't sit still, but Mr. Lin can't sit still either."
"I can't calm down and it's the cause of the commotion in the back house. I see Mr. Lin's eyes are blue today." Xiao Qiyu put down the tea cup: "Grandma, my mother has said it several times, saying that you are coming and not going to the palace.
She misses her very much."
Chen Yu took a box of cans from the side and opened it, poured it into a bowl and pushed it in front of Xiao Qiyu: "It's not that I won't go to the palace to see the Queen Mother, but that I can't get rid of things at home. The Lin family can't calm down, and neither can the third child."
Don't be angry, if I go into the palace and stay for a few days, there will be trouble if I don't keep everything safe."
"Second Auntie is here. Anyone who dares to come to the door will be politely called out." Xiao Qiyu took a spoon and ate a can: "Fourth Auntie's business is very good. We, the people in the capital, visit relatives.
If you don’t bring a few boxes to be friendly, you’ll lose face.”
Chen Yu smiled: "You, I can't give your second uncle such confidence. I have seen with my own eyes the scene of carrying a kitchen knife when something happens. Our family can't afford to quarrel with others now. We will wait until grandma is finished here.
As for the matter, I must have brought a gift to see the Queen Mother."
"The Queen Mother said that she would be a matchmaker for Ya's father and Miss Lin Er." Xiao Qiyu smiled: "I don't want to delay being a matchmaker even if I am given a marriage. The Queen Mother said that she would take back the Su family's matchmaking gift."
Chen Yu said sternly: "This is the Queen Mother's support for the Su family. You have to thank her personally when you get back, and wait until I have time to pass by."
"Sure." Xiao Qiyu also knew that grandma couldn't leave now.
Outside, Su Qianxiu came in, saw Xiao Qiyu eating and drinking, and came over to sit down: "I knew you were here eating and drinking, and I couldn't find you while I was working."
"Now, let me give you a taste to see if it tastes good. Don't tell me, this kind of canned food is very delicious. I didn't know what it was." Xiao Qiyu asked with a smile: "Sent them all?"
Su Qianxiu nodded: "Sent it over. Third Aunt also said that I would ask the Emperor to inscribe a plaque on it in person and hang it on the plum garden. That would be worthy of the Holy Grace."
"Hahaha, what a big deal." Xiao Qiyu moved inside and patted the place next to him.
Su Qianxiu sat down, and Chen Yu brought a small bowl of canned food over. She could see that the two children were really close in private. As for whether they were in compliance with the rules or not, that was all for outsiders to see. Qiyu had Qianxiu by his side.
After all, the temperament won't be too boring, which is a good thing in the long run.
"They are pears and peaches, and you can't even eat them? Let grandma show you if you have an appetite." Su Qianxiu ate with a big mouthful. His posture showed that he was a military general, but he was not elegant at all.
Chen Yu asked Mrs. Wang to prepare new tea, canned food and some snacks such as pork jerky, put them in two exquisite baskets, and asked Xiao Qiyu to take them back to the Queen Mother.
Over there, as soon as Mrs. Han arrived at the door of her house, she saw the eunuch and someone carrying a box tied with red silk to the door. He hurriedly returned to the house from the small door and led the whole family out. Lin Xunzhong was kneeling in front.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Mr. Lin Xunzhong, the Minister of Household Affairs, is an upright and honest official with outstanding political achievements. He is a wise minister of mine and a capable minister of the country. I love you and serve as an official. I will not let you go. I know that I love you and that you are an honest and diligent official."
Government, special rewards..."
Han didn't hear anything after that. He was quite happy to watch it at first, but when he heard the words "Ai Qing's appointment", he felt like the world was spinning, and his body went limp and he fell to the ground.
No one dared to move. It was not until the imperial edict was read out and Lin Xunzhong accepted it that Mrs. Zhang dared to come over and help Han.
Among those who pinched Han, Han came up in one breath and grabbed Granny Zhang's hand and asked, "Did I hear wrongly? Do you want to become an official?"
"Yes, ma'am, you heard me right." Mrs. Zhang didn't even have time to say anything else.
Han stood up suddenly, looked around and saw Lin Xunzhong who was accompanying the eunuch to the Mingtang. She stamped her foot and pointed at his back: "Lin Xunzhong! You actually became an official for that bastard Lin Junyan?! You let that happen?"
How can we survive as a family?"
Lin Xunzhong hurriedly complained to the eunuch who passed the order, and the eunuch who passed the order repeatedly said that it was okay, but such an ignorant woman really made the eunuch who passed the order look down upon her!
