The Master Goes Down the Mountain: I Don't Want to be a Son-In-Law/
Chapter 60 This is clearly the master
The ancestral hall of the Lin family is in the southwest corner of Beixi Villa. There is a separate house there. The style is completely built according to the ancestral temple of the ancient family..
The ancestral hall is very large. In addition to the main hall where ancestral tablets are enshrined, there are rest rooms and meeting rooms..
Lin Shangyi lay on the rattan chair in the lounge, his eyes slightly closed..
Li Muchen sat at the side, his fingers resting on the old master's pulse..
Lin Shangyi's qi was stable. After his vital qi was renewed, his vital signs stabilized, but his soul was still very weak..
It was obvious that the wizard who cast the book of nail-headed arrows had not given up..
If we don't find that person, Lin Shangyi will still die in three days..
Li Muchen knew this very well..
Lin Shangyi slowly opened his eyes as a wisp of genuine Qi entered his body..
He let out a long sigh.
It looks like my old bones can live for a few more days..
”
Li Muchen smiled and said,"There is nothing wrong with your body. Your foundation is good. If there are no accidents, there is no problem living beyond 100 years.".
”
Lin Shangyi laughed out loud: "Thank you for your good words. I am over eighty years old. It doesn't matter if I live to be over a hundred years old or not.".
A hundred years of life, often pregnant with thousands of years of worry, live a few years, but also a few years of sorrow.
Now I just want to arrange the funeral arrangements properly. I don't want any trouble to happen at home after I leave..
”
Li Muchen did not answer this question..
He didn't know much about the Lin family, so it wasn't convenient for him to interrupt..
But the old man doesn't seem to think so..
"Mu Chen, my eldest grandnephew is indeed a bit of a playboy. He has been lacking in discipline since he was young. For my sake, don't argue with him..
Laifeng is my elder brother's son. The Lin family suffered a great disaster. If it weren't for my elder brother, I would have died by then..
”
Li Muchen knew what the old man meant and said,"I don't care about Lin Shaoheng, but if they come to provoke me again, I dare not promise you anything.".
”
Lin Shangyi nodded and sighed,"Well, if they commit any more sins, I can't protect them.".
You guys wait for me in the conference room. I'll talk to Cicada Ming for a while and then come..
”
The family meeting room was on the second floor of the ancestral hall. When Li Muchen entered, it was already full of people..
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Muchen and they started whispering..
Seeing him with Lin Manqing, those who had never seen him before guessed that he was the Lin family's new son-in-law, whom the old master had appointed..
But they didn't expect Lin Manqing to be so direct and bring him into the Lin family ancestral hall..
According to the rules of the Lin family, only after they were officially married would their daughter-in-law or son-in-law be qualified to participate in family meetings of this level..
The conference room was very large. Li Muchen noticed that the Lin family's seats were clearly divided into two groups..
On the other hand, Lin Chiu-sheng's family was the center, including Lin Chiu-feng and Lin Yuet-n'e. There were many people he had never met..
On the other side, Lin Laifeng was the center, including Lin Laiyi and Yuan Guocheng. The number of people was smaller than the former..
Although Lin Laifeng was sitting in the middle of a group of people, he had a worried expression on his face. When he saw Li Muchen enter, his expression became even uglier..
When Lin Laiyi saw Li Muchen, she was furious. She stood up and asked loudly," What are you doing here? This is the Lin family ancestral hall. It's a family meeting. What qualifications do you have to attend?"
"Grandpa asked him to…"
Lin Manqing had just finished explaining when Lin Laiyi interrupted,"
"Don't bring out the old master so easily. The rules of the Lin family are set by the ancestors. Even if the old master has appointed an engagement for you, as long as you are not married, you are not a member of the Lin family and are not qualified to enter the Lin family ancestral hall!"
Lin Laiyi was the eldest sister of the Lin family and had always been strong. She also relied on her husband's influence in Qiantang to have a great say in the Lin family..
Moreover, what she said this time was the truth. The Lin family did have such rules. Li Muchen had broken the rules by entering the ancestral hall..
People started whispering:
"Yeah, why are you here before you get married?"
"Young people nowadays really don't know the rules..
”
Those who didn't know the situation would ask," Is this Manqing's boyfriend? Which son is he from?"
"I don't know. It seems like the old man gave her a baby kiss a long time ago..
”
"How can he be a young master? I heard that he used to pick up trash. I wonder how much wine the old man drank back then before he appointed this family..
”
" Garbage picker? Impossible!"
……
:.
Listening to these comments, Lin Manqing was very embarrassed..
However, she was only a junior and had no right to speak in such a place. She did not know how to explain herself..
Mrs. Lin Yan Huimin's heart ached for her daughter, so she stood up and said,"Sister, what you said is true. The younger generation is not sensible. How can it be so serious?".
”
Yan Huimin did not know that Lin Shangyi had called Li Muchen over. She thought that Lin Manqing had decided to bring Li Muchen in on her own, so she felt a little guilty when she spoke..
Lin Laiyi laughed coldly and said,"Young people are not sensible, are you also not sensible? Breaking the rules of ancestors is not serious. It seems that your old Yan family's upbringing is also like this.".
But don't forget, this is the ancestral hall of the Lin family, not your Yan family!"
Yan Huimin's face turned red. Lin Laiyi's words were no longer attacking her, but bringing along her family..
However, it was not easy for her to refute. After all, it was her daughter who did the wrong thing first..
She glanced at Lin Manqing and couldn't help but blame her.'What's this child doing in such a hurry?'.
Lin Laiyi looked coldly at Yan Huimin and Lin Qiusheng." What? The Lin family's patriarch doesn't even care about the ancestral rules? Should we discuss later? Change the rules or change the patriarch?"
Lin Qiusheng's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice,"Manqing, take Mu Chen home first.".
”
Lin Manqing said anxiously,"Dad, Grandpa asked him to come.".
”
Lin Laiyi sneered," Who are you lying to? The old man values rules the most. Why would he let an outsider into the ancestral hall to attend a family meeting? I think you're crazy about this man, aren't you? This kind of person who has no father to teach and no mother to raise has no qualifications to marry into the Lin family. If you marry him, I'll see how your father still has the face to sit in the position of the family head..
”
Lin Manqing blushed.
A cold glint flashed across Li Muchen's eyes..
Ignoring the mocking or pitying looks from the crowd, he took Lin Manqing by the hand and walked through the crowd to Lin Qiusheng and Yan Huimin. He said,"Manqing, sit down.
”
" What about you?" Lin Manqing seemed to sense what Li Muchen was about to do and looked at him worriedly..
" Me?" Li Muchen smiled." Some people don't seem to welcome me..
”
He turned around and slowly walked to Lin Laiyi..
"Who did you just say didn't have a father or a mother?"
"I'm talking about you…"
You just said it..
Pa!
Amidst everyone's astonished expressions, Lin Laiyi was slapped without warning..
The crowd was in an uproar!
In the Lin family, Lin Laiyi was the eldest sister. Other than the old man, everyone was afraid of her..
Even the old man had never hit her..
Lin Laiyi stood there like a statue.
She couldn't understand how a son-in-law who hadn't yet visited her had the courage to hit her..
Yuan Guocheng stood up and waved his hand to hit Li Muchen. However, when he saw Li Muchen's cold gaze, he retracted his hand..
" You... you..." Yuan Guocheng pointed at Li Muchen with trembling hands..
Lin Laifeng also stood up abruptly and glared at Li Muchen angrily." Li, how dare you touch my sister!"
Li Muchen looked at him coldly and said,"I promised you yesterday that I would release your son.".
Today I just promised the old man that I won't argue with you and your son.
But if you guys provoke me again, do you think Old Master will be able to keep you?"
Lin Laifeng stared hatefully at Li Muchen, his eyes spitting fire..
He had endured for so many years. If it weren't for this kid, his plan would have succeeded..
But he finally sat down, because he knew that he had no chance to turn things around, and today might be the last family meeting he attended..
Lin Qiusheng also stood up and said sternly," Mu Chen, what are you doing? This is the ancestral hall. Don't mess around!"
Li Muchen said,"Nothing, this woman's mouth is too dirty.".
If your Lin family can't handle it, I'll handle it for you.
”
Lin Qiusheng couldn't help but feel angry..
It wasn't because Li Muchen hit Lin Laiyi, but because of Li Muchen's attitude..
How could he be a son-in-law who had yet to visit? He was clearly his father!
