Chapter 266

Not far away, a man in a new taromon suit, made of tweed imported from England, looks like a handsome young man with a sunny smile on his face, almost the same age as himself.

Shen ruochu thinks that the world is really small. He didn't expect to meet Lin Huaijin here. Besides director Lin's son, other people are not qualified.

Shen ruochu couldn't guess that Lin Huaijin was a child of the Lin family. She always thought that Lin Huaijin's family was in business, and that it was just the son of a rich family.

Lin Huaijin smiles at Shen ruochu and shouts in a silent voice: "ruochu."

The smile on Shen ruochu's face could not be covered. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were bright. If she had not followed the governor's wife and met Lin Huaijin, she would have been very happy.

Although he followed the governor, he had a good view of their every move. Lin Huaijin, the youngest son of the Lin family, came back from England.

Shen ruochu and Lin Huaijin are acquainted with each other. They are not only acquainted with each other, but also very familiar with each other.

In the past, Shen ruochu was surrounded by men like Ruiqi, Qi Rong and Li Chen. Shen ruochu was more enthusiastic, but he just took Ruiqi as his younger brother. When he looked at Ruiqi, his eyes were not bright. When he saw Lin Huaijin, his eyes were clear.

The governor and Chen Yao exchanged greetings with Director Lin, and then followed director Lin into the hall. The birthday party of the Lin family in previous years was held in a hotel, but this year, director Lin's family bought a new house, which is very big.

It's no exaggeration to have a banquet. Chinese cooks and Western cooks are invited. Snacks, drinks and drinks are placed everywhere. The banquet is Chinese food.

At this point, the banquet has not yet started, so we prepared some self-help Western snacks and drinks.

It has to be said that the birthday party of the Lin family is really beautiful. A lot of people have come here, and they are all dignified.

The governor and Chen Yao went to pay respects to the old lady. Shen ruochu and Li Xing still followed the governor and Chen Yao.

Mrs. Lin looks very old, but she has a good spirit. She is dressed in a new Qipao and wears a spicy green jade chain around her neck. The old lady is very elegant, surrounded by a circle of people.

All of them show filial piety. As for whether they are sincere filial piety or false filial piety, it's not clear. But not everyone can enjoy the scenery of the old lady.

Chen Yao looks at the spicy green jade on the old lady's neck and looks at Shen ruochu admiringly. Shen ruochu is right. The old lady really likes the jade. After listening to Shen ruochu's words, she changes the bracelet of Hetian jade into jade.

In the future, if Chuzhen and Lixing are successful, they will surely become the virtuous domestic helpers of Lixing.

"Chen Yao and I are here to celebrate your birthday." The governor saluted the old lady and said to her, "I wish you a happy birthday. I wish you a happy life."

Shen ruochu and Li Xing follow the governor and Chen Yao to celebrate Mrs. Lin's birthday.

This worship amused the old lady and the people around her, but everyone knew that the governor and his wife of the sixteen northern provinces had given such a big gift to director Lin.

"Get up, get up, they are all supervisors, just like a child." The old lady is really unambiguous. Talking about the governor is like talking about her own children.

While talking, the old lady got up in person and helped the governor and Chen Yao up.

Shen ruochu felt that these social activities were actually very tiring, but at this level, even the true and false promises were indispensable.

"Governor Li, let their women chat here. Let's go there and talk. There are a lot of people here today." Director Lin said with a smile to governor Li.

This birthday is also a rare opportunity for everyone to get together. When women are together, their family is short, while men are discussing other matters or talking about family affairs.

I don't want to get involved with women.

Governor Li laughed: "OK, let's sit over there."

With these words, governor Li and director Lin leave together. Before Li leaves, he seems to touch Shen ruochu's hand unintentionally, which makes Shen ruochu blush.

In front of so many people, I don't know how to restrain myself.

As soon as he walked away, Chen Yao went to the old lady and sat down. This is the governor's wife of the sixteen provinces in the north. Her identity is the same as that of Mrs. Lin.

So Chen Yao wants to sit next to the old lady. Those with poor status will naturally give up their position.

"Old lady, you are getting stronger and stronger, and you are getting younger and younger." Chen Yao said to the old lady that Su Yi had accompanied the governor before.

She hasn't celebrated the old lady's birthday for several years, but it's good to look at her body.

Sitting not far away, a woman in a Navy cheongsam and delicate make-up on her face is about the same age as Chen Yao. She smiles at Chen Yao and says, "Mrs. Li, how come you have time to celebrate the old lady's birthday this year? I used to come here. I remember it was like the second wife."It was none other than the wife of Governor Wu of the six western provinces. Mrs Wu looked at Chen Yao in her spare time. She was familiar with Su Yi, the second wife of governor Li.

At that time, she played mahjong with Su Yi and joked about being a son and daughter in laws. She thought she would meet Su Yi this year, but she didn't expect that it would be Chen Yao, the governor's wife.

Mrs. Wu's words made the people present sigh.

Both of them were the original wives of the governor. Mrs. Wu went too far to say this in front of Mrs. Li. Although she thought so, no one dared to say anything more. They all looked like a good play.

Chen Yao's face is not very good-looking.

Shen ruochu, sitting on one side, frowned. This Mrs. Wu is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. This is an insinuation to Chen Yao that she was not liked by the governor before, not as good as an aunt.

"Madam, our governor's wife was not in good health before. The governor loves our wife and asks her to cultivate herself and leave the affairs of the eldest lady to the second wife." Shen ruochu smiles at Mrs. Wu and goes on, "our governor is afraid that she will be tired. Now she is in good health. As the governor's wife, she must take up her own responsibility to help the governor take care of the housework. It's not good to let the second wife take care of the affairs. Isn't it a violation of the rules?"

This can be said to be very beautiful. In a word, it not only helps Chen Yao to get rid of the encirclement, but also tells the people here why Chen Yao doesn't care.

It's not because the governor doesn't spoil her, but because she's not in good health. On the contrary, the governor spoils Chen Yao very much. He's afraid that Chen Yao will be affected and will leave all the big and small things in his family to the second wife.

As everyone knows, it's scenery to be in charge of family affairs, but in fact it's very tiring.

Now that Chen Yao is in good health, naturally there is nothing wrong with the second wife.

All the people in the audience looked at Shen ruochu with admiration. Although he was young, it was not easy for him to say such a good word.

Mrs. Wu's face turned pale when she heard this. She was unable to come down. She was more worried. She thought she was in charge of Su Yi's family. Chen Yao, the governor's wife, was going to abdicate sooner or later, but Shen ruochu said so.

I have no foundation in my heart. I'm afraid that Chen Yao will really be favored again and offend him. That's not worth the loss. I can't help feeling a little annoyed. I didn't think about what I said just now.

"Mrs. Wu, if you are right, in fact, the old lady's birthday, such an occasion, a second lady is not qualified to come, usually no way, only let her come with the governor, the old lady can not blame it." Chen Yao smiles and agrees. When she talks, she also elevates the old lady's identity.

Chen Yao looks at Shen ruochu gratefully. She is right about her daughter-in-law. If Shen ruochu didn't speak for her today, she would lose face.

In front of so many people, what we lose is not only her face, but also the face of the governor's office.

The old lady was naturally happy when she was drunk and held by the governor of the sixteen northern provinces. She held Chen Yao's hand and said with a kind smile, "I know, I all know that you have this filial piety. I don't know how happy I am. We won't talk about those empty ones."

The old lady's words were on Chen Yao's side, and Mrs. Wu was even more upset.

"That's what it is. If you don't tell me, I don't know. I'm a straightforward person. Don't worry about it, Mrs. Li. I'll give you an apology. I'll give you a good dinner later." Mrs. Wu immediately changed her attitude and said to Chen Yao, hoping that Chen Yao would not take it seriously.

This kind of thing is all in the open. Mrs. Wu gives her steps, and Chen Yao naturally wants to go down. After all, they are all the governor's wives. It's too ugly. They only make people laugh, but they can't get along with them.

Chen Yao smiles at Mrs. Wu: "you are a fake treat. If you set up a banquet, I'll go to Shun'an to eat. How uneconomic I am."

A humorous remark made all the people on the scene laugh. It was peace.

Where there are women, there are rivers and lakes. Shen ruochu thinks that's right.

Several women began to talk about other topics. Shen ruochu attached himself to Chen Yao and whispered, "madam, can I go out for a walk?"

These ladies and ladies get together and talk about clothes and jewelry. They praise each other. She really can't raise any interest. She feels very bored.

"Go ahead. Remember to come back later. The banquet will start in a little while." Chen Yao said in a low voice to Shen ruochu.

Young people are certainly not interested in the topics they talk about. She can understand that.

Shen ruochu cleverly nodded: "OK, I know."
