Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

In the end, the patriarch and elders who came to hear the news separately questioned the honest people around them, discussed for a while, and sentenced Chen and Wang Chunxia to the lawsuit.

"Today is the ancestor worship ceremony. On such a day, if there is any verbal dispute, you should endure it for the time being. Afterwards, the clan will have their own calculations. Therefore, you two have something wrong, and you must have an explanation! Chen Earlier, Mrs. Wang accused Sang and scolded Huai. Although you are innocent, your fault is that you acted hastily regardless of the occasion. Therefore, you will be fined 20 taels of silver. Mrs. Wang, because of your old grudge with Mrs. Chen, you deliberately provoked on the day of ancestor worship The matter, you uttered lies and became a gossip woman! The family fined you 30 taels of silver. The money you fined is used for today’s sacrifice expenses, and it is also a punishment for your disrespect to your ancestors. Women in prominent families, each carefully speaks and abides by duty !"

Chen shi smiled slightly, feeling that such punishment was fair.Arguing on the day of worshiping the ancestors, although Wang Chunxia was at fault first, would the clan still praise herself?Although he was fined ten taels of silver now, he has also picked out his mistakes, which is acceptable.She looked at Wang Chunxia with a pale face, and sneered in her heart. Although she felt sorry for the 20 taels of silver, it was not impossible for the family to get it out, and it was enough to save a little money.But Wang Chunxia was different. 30 taels of silver, I'm afraid I have to fill it with my own house.Such a money-greedy and stingy woman, still doesn't feel heartbroken?Besides, who in this clan doesn't know her reputation as a gossip woman, what a shame!

In contrast, Chen only felt refreshed.She held Lin Ming'an's hand with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Today, An Ge's tongue-in-cheek fight with the clan elders, with good reasons, abruptly reversed the situation that Lin Zeyu wanted to favor Wang Chunxia.This son is really caring and smart!Chen's face was radiant, and she was content to enjoy the envious eyes cast on her by others.

Beside the patriarch, an elegant and handsome man in a stone-blue silk-satin coat with a dark pattern on the ground nodded and smiled at Lin Mingan, seemingly approving.Lin Mingan stared at him, and saw that he was about thirty or forty years old, with a dignified bearing, and the clothes on his body seemed inconspicuous, but in fact they were low-key and exquisite, not to mention the texture of the clothes, but the jade pendant on his waist was crystal clear and moist, and his appearance was excellent , you know it’s worth a lot.He has seen a lot of good things and knows the goods.Well, this person is either rich or expensive, no, judging by his demeanor, he should be both rich and expensive, and his status in the Lin family is definitely not low.Lin Mingan thought about it, and also nodded to him.He has no malice towards himself, of course he doesn't want to offend anyone!

"You're Brother Ang? You're a smart kid!" the man praised.

"It's just a little too sharp!" He shook his head slightly and said, "The way of a gentleman is to treat others with mercy and to forgive others. Gentleness, courtesy and humility are always respected by the Lin family."

"Exactly!" Someone heard from the side, and couldn't wait to answer: "No matter what about the elders, you shouldn't be a junior to come out and point fingers, and commit the following offense!"

This person belonged to Lin Zeyu's team, and he had always been friends with Lin Zeyu. Seeing Wang Chunxia being punished, he felt aggrieved.At this time, I saw someone talking about it, and I couldn't ask for it.

Lin Ming'an's face darkened. The man had a gentle attitude before. Although he slightly disagreed with his behavior, he was only admonishing him in good faith. It was because they had different ideas. He was not so narrow-minded, so he could laugh it off.But he was unwilling to tolerate the guy who spoke rudely just now.They're just from the same race, they might not know each other even if they meet each other, do you really think of yourself as an uncle?I am not used to this problem!

"Zi Ri: There are three people who are not filial in etiquette. It is said that Ah Yi is obedient, trapping relatives is unrighteous, and one is not filial." Lin Ming'an replied in a clear voice: "Sage Confucius said that one should not blindly obey one's parents. To remind and persuade them of their fault, let alone the family aunt? The family aunt received the teaching of the patriarch today, and it is great to change it! Just like the little girl in my neighbor, now everyone says that she is getting better and better, and her brothers and sisters really love her. I like her! Why does the uncle think it's not a good thing?"

"Oh," he suddenly said: "It turns out that the patriarch felt that the patriarch's ruling was wrong, then"

The person who spoke didn't expect that Lin Mingan would not back down, and he was still so eloquent, his face flushed immediately, "You kid is talking nonsense!" He secretly hated, these words are really heartbreaking, and the patriarch is watching by his side, how dare he have any criticism?

"Besides," Lin Ming'an suddenly raised his voice: "The person my aunt insulted and slandered just now is my mother. As a son of man, shouldn't I defend my mother? If so, then wouldn't my mother raise my son in vain? The big green donkeys in my family know how to be kind and protect the Lord, how can I not be as good as a donkey?"

He smiled sarcastically: "If someone treats the uncle's mother like this, will the uncle ignore it because he is afraid of being gossiped?"

"Uncle of that clan, you are really unfilial!"

"You, you!" The man was silenced by Lin Mingan, his face flushed red, he pointed at him for a long time and couldn't find anything to refute.

"This child is really..." The elegant man shook his head with a smile, and sighed to the patriarch beside him: "What's even more rare is that at such a young age, the saint's teachings are so eloquent, it seems that he has already enlightened. Whose family is he? , His parents are really lucky!"

"Hehe, they are all descendants of the Lin family!" The patriarch didn't answer directly, but said something in a haha.Immediately, I changed the topic and started talking with him about today's arrangements for ancestor worship, ethnology, and some things about cultivating fields.

The elegant man was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, the patriarch might not know everyone in the clan, so it's not surprising.It's just that this kid is so smart, he's such a talent, I'd better go talk to his father later.The Lin family's heirs are not prosperous, and if a good seedling comes out, it must be well-bred.Alas, I'm afraid it's too late, big may not be good!

At this moment, a voice from outside the crowd rang out: "I said Qingxi, don't leave in such a hurry! It's okay, your son gave you a face today, you really deserve to have a child like Ming'an!"

The elegant man's body trembled when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes to look up, he was immediately immobilized, and stayed there, his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, he couldn't speak for a while, his expression kept changing.

A man hurried into the yard.It was Lin Qing who came, and Qingxi was his name.When the Chen family and Wang Chunxiao were arguing, he was temporarily sent out by the patriarch to deal with the sacrifice, so he was not there.On the way back, I ran into a friend from the clan I had found.Along the way, he had been informed by his friends of the turmoil in the ancestral hall in detail, and he knew it well.Knowing that Wang Chunxia must be holding grudges and provoking provocations because of the adoption, she was secretly angry.Afterwards, after hearing my friend's admiration for Lin Ming'an's words, I couldn't stop feeling the joy and pride of being a father.With these two emotions intertwined, he hurried back to the ancestral hall.

Lin Qing saw his wife and children who were holding hands at first glance, and immediately showed them a comforting smile, nodded, and signaled that there is no need to worry, everything is with him.Immediately, he turned to look at the patriarch: "Patriarch, today's matter"

In a blink of an eye, he saw the elegant man beside the patriarch, watching him with complex and unspeakable eyes, Lin Qing immediately stopped talking.The two looked at each other in silence.After a while, Lin Qing showed a slight smile, and made a salute: "Brother Ruhai, please stay safe!"

"It's fine, thank you Qingxi clan brother for your concern!" The Ruhai clan brother replied, his eyes wandered over the faces of Lin Qing and Lin Mingan, and he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, the patriarch cleared his throat, and immediately changed the topic: "Ruhai, Qingxi, the clan is discussing the rectification of ethnology. You are all scholars, come and discuss."

"Yes, patriarch please!"

"Brother Ruhai Clan, please!"

"Brother Qingxi Clan, please!"

The two were polite, and followed the patriarch into the ancestral hall.

Lin Mingan looked at their backs and blinked thoughtfully.He sensitively felt that the atmosphere between Uncle Ruhai and his father was weird. The two knew each other, and there must be some relationship.But Dad is not close to that Ruhai clan uncle, because Dad is very free and easy with people who are really close, and definitely not such a polite and cautious attitude.

There must be a story in it!Forget it, he is still a child about the adults, so there is no need to know so much.
