Chapter 504: The Feast of the Hung Gate (I)
"In that case, you should know that I won't approve of your dealing." Xu Xie Qin said with a straight face.
"Is it because I look too young? Or is it because I was a former student of Nadeshiko? Lin Yue asked.
"There are two reasons." Xu Jieqin said: "Of course, the most important reason is that you are not worthy of my daughter. ”
"Why does my aunt think that I am not worthy of a son?" Lin Yue put down his hand and asked with a smile.
"Do you think you can give Nadeshiko happiness?" Xu Xie Qin said confidently.
"Auntie, what do you think is the definition of happiness?" Lin Yue asked rhetorically.
"I ......" Xu Jieqin opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
"Auntie, in fact, I don't understand the deep truth myself, but if I want to make Nadeshiko happy, I think I should be able to do it." Lin Yue said.
"Can you do it? How? your mouth? Xu Xie Qin sneered.
"Auntie, you yourself should have been oppressed by the elders in the family in the past, and you should have made some choices that you didn't want to do, right? In that case, why would you let Nadeshiko suffer the same thing? Lin Yue said suddenly.
"You mean I'm forcing Tamamo to make choices she doesn't want to do?" Xu Jieqin's beautiful eyes widened, and a hideous expression appeared on her originally dignified face, and she was very emotional.
"Isn't it?" Lin Yue asked calmly.
The two stood in front of the door of the courtyard at this time and looked at each other, seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the air was getting stronger and stronger, but Qinglu Nadeshiko walked out of the house in time.
"Mom, Yue, what are you doing?"
Seeing her daughter, Xu Jieqin's original hideous expression disappeared in an instant, returning to her original dignified beauty, and then showing an amiable smile and saying, "It's nothing, I happened to meet Xiaoyue at the door, so I chatted with him for a few words." ”
Damn, this woman is changing her face too fast, right?
Lin Yue muttered in his heart, but on the surface, he still echoed Xu Jieqin's words, and said to Qinglu Nadeshiko: "Yes, my aunt said a lot about you when you were a child, hehe, I didn't expect Nadeshiko to be so naughty when you were a child." ”
"Mom, what are you talking about, I was naughty when I was a child?" Qinglu Nadeshiko's face turned red, and she was coquettish at Xu Jieqin, not noticing the difference between the two at all.
"Isn't it?" Xu Jieqin touched her daughter, and her tone was full of tenderness, which was completely different from the appearance of being forced everywhere just now.
When they returned to the house for breakfast, Lin Yue and Xu Jieqin both pretended that nothing had happened, and there was still no communication between the two at the dinner table.
After eating almost breakfast, Xu Jieqin took the towel handed over by Rong's mother and wiped her mouth elegantly, and then said to Qinglu Nadshiko: "Yuzao, can you go home with me today?" ”
Qinglu Nadeshiko, who was eating breakfast, heard this, her delicate body trembled imperceptibly, and the home in Xu Jieqin's mouth of course meant her grandfather's home.
Although for so many years, due to Xu Jieqin's relationship, she has come to live in this military compound for a period of time almost every year, but since she went to her brother Qinglu Masao once when she was a child, she has not stepped into that house for many years.
Recalling her family's attitude towards herself and her brother, her heart couldn't help but tremble, and she didn't answer Xu Jieqin's question for a long time.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Lin Yue grabbed his girlfriend's hand and asked.
Xu Jieqin was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and said with a straight face: "I'm sorry, I didn't invite you." ”
However, Qinglu Nadeshiko held Lin Yue's hand at this time and said in a low voice: "Mom, it's okay to let me go back, but I want Yue to go with me, otherwise, I ...... Didn't want to go anywhere. ”
Her tone, though like asking for her mother's opinion, was more resistant.
Xu Jieqin pursed her lips, although she didn't like Lin Yue, but when her daughter said this, if she didn't agree, she would really refuse to step into that house again.
What happened back then, the damage caused to her young children, no one knows better than her, as a mother. So after thinking about it again, Xu Jieqin reluctantly agreed.
After Rong's mother simply cleaned up the dining table, Qinglu Fuzi and Xu Jieqin went back to the room to change a set of clothes, Lin Yue accompanied their mother and daughter to get on a military vehicle and set off.
I heard Qinglu Nadeshiko say before that her grandfather was the commander-in-chief of the Jing'an City Military Region, and he was in a high position in the military and political circles of China. This military compound is built around the mountains, and a radius of dozens of miles is basically the place of their Xu family.
The military vehicle drove along the mountain road for more than half an hour, passing through several layers of heavily loaded sentry checks before arriving at the core area of the compound, the Xu family's mansion.
In the car, listening to Xu Jieqin's explanation, it turned out that today was their Xu family's semi-annual family banquet, and on this day every year, no matter where the Xu family served, they would come back to the Xu family's mansion for a meal, the purpose was not only to maintain the feelings of the family members, but also to report to the old man that the size of the work was appropriate.
To be honest, Lin Yue is quite disdainful of this kind of big family's life style, eating a meal is like those big companies reporting the progress of work to the boss, without the warmth of the family, no wonder Qinglu Nadeshiko resists coming back so much.
Although Qinglu Nadeshiko didn't say it, it was not difficult for Lin Yue to guess that because of Xu Jieqin's incident back then, the status of their mother and daughter in the Xu family should be extremely low, and they should not even be welcomed.
Although Xu Jieqin has come back to live in the military compound over the years, the people of the Xu family have never allowed her to enter the Xu family's mansion. And this meal, I'm afraid, is just a Hongmen banquet. Moreover, Lin Yue was a little incomprehensible, why did she insist on bringing her daughter back to participate in this Hongmen banquet?
Thinking of this, Lin Yue couldn't help but look at the Qinglu Nadeshiko beside him. From the moment she got into the car, she kept looking at the scenery outside the car window in a daze.
Lin Yue sighed secretly, held her hand and said, "It's okay, everything has me." ”
Qinglu Nadeshi was slightly shocked, looked at Lin Yue, half loud, she ignored Xu Jieqin's gaze in the car, leaned her head on Lin Yue's shoulder and answered softly, "Hmm." ”
Looking at the two of them snuggled together, Xu Jieqin surprisingly did not stop, but watched quietly, and her seemingly calm face didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
The car stopped in front of the mansion, and Qinglu Nadeshiko got out of the car accompanied by Lin Yue with apprehension, and Xu Jieqin was also nervous. For many years, she also rarely returned to this home, and when she did, she was only insulted and ridiculed.
But today, she had to come back.
The only person among the three who was not nervous was probably Lin Yue, and after getting out of the car, Lin Yue looked at the Xu family mansion in front of him with a grin. It's not very luxurious, but the mansion is built on the mountain, and the green trees give people the feeling of an old house deep in the mountains. The red and yellow walls also give people a strong sense of age.
Walking into the mansion with Xu Jieqin, the first thing that catches your eye is a courtyard-like courtyard, which is very large, with rockery pools and pavilion potted plants. Although it was still early for lunch, on such an important day, the people of the Xu family naturally came back early.
When Lin Yue and the others walked into the courtyard, there were already a lot of people gathered there, there were men and women, old and young, most of them were wearing military uniforms, obviously there were many people in the Xu family who also held a certain position in the military and political circles.
