History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 45

This was also the first time He Wenzhan saw Zhu Chengyu. Hearing Lin Lang's question, he said, "That's the second son of Zhu Yong's family, the governor of the three states in the south of the Yangtze River. His name is Zhu Chengyu."

Lin Lang let out a "huh", then tilted her head and asked, "Our family has no relationship with the Zhu family before, what is he doing here?"

He Wenzhan smiled and stroked her hair, "Your third uncle met him on the road, and he just happened to save your third uncle's life and walked along the way. They stayed here for one night before they packed up their residence in the capital. It is said that Zhu Yong visited the old man first, and when Zhu Yong arrives in the capital, he will come to visit him in person."

After hearing this, Lin Lang didn't ask any more questions, but she laughed in her heart.The Zhu family's method is still the same, but anyone who wants to climb up to a famous senior must send Zhu Chengyu to lead the battle.Zhu Chengyu is very good at pretending to please the old man, and he is still a teenager, so if he lays the groundwork first, Zhu Yong will not be obtrusive when he goes out.

There are so many things about the Zhu family, it's time to think about it!

Sure enough, a family banquet was held the next day. Because it was late summer and early autumn, and the scenery in the back garden was good, we arranged it there.

Even though He Wenqing was a bastard, he was promising and earned fame. It was rare for him to return to Beijing, so the old man was naturally happy.Outside, three generations of men from grandparents and grandchildren set up a banquet, and in the inner hall separated by eighteen landscape screens are women's relatives.

In fact, the female relatives are those people. The old lady and the big family members are as usual. The third lady is happy because of He Wenqing's arrival, much more happy than usual. The fresh clothes reveal the atmosphere that should be in the Mood for Love.The slender woman He Wenqing brought was his concubine, surnamed Liu and named Yan. It was said that she was the daughter of a down-and-out scholar in the area. She waited on her respectfully, without being obtrusive.

The mother and daughter of the second room seldom go out since the self-confinement, and even He Weikun's wife, An Shi, didn't show up very often. This time, the second wife brought He Jinyu out. Because of the old man's previous order to divorce his wife, both mother and child looked very unhappy. it is good.

Lin Lang also hadn't seen He Jinyu for a long time, the last time she rushed out from the archway, holding a silver needle and trying to scratch her face, her mood was intense and menacing.After these many days of confinement, she has changed a lot. She is no longer as enthusiastic and active as before. She seems to be a lot heavier, she doesn't speak much, her actions are estranged, and her eyes are a little empty.

After all, she was a cousin who played with her since she was a child. Lin Lang was used to He Jinyu who was as strong as a rose, but seeing her thinner now, she felt a little sympathy.

Changing places, He Jinyu's heart was wrong, her behavior was wrong, she was pregnant before she was married, and then she was forced to conceive and confine her feet to think about her past mistakes. That man, let alone taking responsibility, didn't even show his face. No matter how you say it, he is pitiful.If she hadn't turned her anger on Qin Shi and plotted to kill Qin Shi, Lin Lang could still sincerely comfort her.

When Lin Lang had just come back to life, she had the deep-rooted hatred from her previous life, and the second room wanted to harm the Qin family, so she shook He Jinyu's pregnancy out of a fit of anger. Now that she thought about it, she sighed.

The sisters were sitting around a table. Lin Lang was originally talking to He Xuanji. Seeing He Jinyu approaching, she inevitably stood up to say hello.He Linglong and the sisters looked at He Jinyu curiously, but He Xuanji reached out to support her and said, "You are so weak, come and sit down."

Lin Lang knew He Xuanji's heart, and she always had leeway in doing things.The matter of Yanghuateng fell on the head of the second lady, but He Xuanji really sympathized with He Jinyu, and ordered the servant girl to pour hot tea over, and asked concerned: "Is the second sister's illness cured?"

He Jinyu was obviously a little surprised, looked up at He Xuanji, as if embarrassed, but also grateful, and then said: "It will be fine if you take care of it slowly, thank you sister for remembering." Her eyes swept over Lin Lang lightly, and He Linglong There was a pause on his face for a moment, but he didn't say anything, and went to drink tea with his head down.

He Linglong used to be close to He Jinyu, but now he is not as close as before. Although he also leaned over to care, he was polite after all.As for He Jinyu's attitude, apart from a grateful glance towards He Xuanji at the beginning, it became completely cold and polite afterwards.

Lin Lang looked at He Jinyu's expression and felt emotional in her heart. It should be really disheartening for Doukou Nianhua to meet such a cold and irresponsible man and ask her to bear all the humiliation and pain alone.Gradually feeling a little sad, Lin Lang scooped up the soup and handed it over, "Second Sister is sick, eat more to make up for it." He Jinyu on the opposite side glanced at her, and said lightly, "Thank you Sixth Sister."

Then there is no more text.

Lin Lang didn't get involved, and turned to talk to He Shanhu.

The atmosphere at their table was subtle, as was the one next door.The second wife first thought about it behind closed doors because of He Jinyu's matter, and later she was ordered to divorce her wife. Although He Wentao hadn't written a divorce letter yet, the news spread all over the place.Now that the whole family and family are gathered together, no matter how thick-skinned the second wife is, she will feel ashamed and embarrassed.

On the contrary, the old lady took care of her intentionally, pulled her to ask questions, and cared for her.

Pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions are connected near the banquet hall, and the lady specially invited the theater troupe to come over to have fun, but it was also festive and lively.After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere was a bit cold, so the eldest lady asked someone to bring small drum flower branches, wanting to pass the flowers by drumming for fun.
