Chapter 147： Emperor uncle

Chapter 147 Emperor Uncle

Waiting for the clansmen of the two families to enter the yard one after another, Chu Nanzhi was about to turn around, but saw several familiar figures approaching.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, old uncle and your uncles are late."

The head of the Lin family, Lin Tingzhen, took the lead in striding forward, and when he reached Chu Nanzhi, he comforted him sadly: "Uncle knows that your uncle loved your sisters from the Chu family the most, and he passed away so suddenly. Be sad, don't be too sad."

Chu Nanzhi looked around at Lin Tingzhen and the three elders of the Lin family, bowed politely, and motioned, "Clan uncles and uncles, please come inside."

Lin Tingzhen glanced at the mourning hall, his face sank immediately, and he rushed inside with tears running down his cheeks, shouting incessantly: "Brother Wen Yu, brother Wen Yu, my dear brother is late, today I will be special People from the Lin clan are here to see you off."

It was not yet the day of the funeral, so he was crying harder than the women who went in.

The three elders behind him watched and couldn't help frowning.

Chu Nanzhi remembered that the patriarch and Chu Wenyu had never met several times, and she cried so vividly, which is a shame.

Chu Nanzhi calmly led the elders into the room, and waited for everyone to finish offering incense and exit from the mourning hall. Lin Tingzhen wiped the few tears from the corners of his eyes, looked around, and looked at Chu Nan meaningfully. Zhi asked slowly, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, where is my nephew Jin Xiao?"

Chu Nanzhi calmly pointed to the crowded side room over there.

"Follow me in."

Lin Tingzhen and three elders surrounded her and passed by together.

Since the nephew is there, the two great Confucian scholars must also be there.

Lin Tingzhen has always been dissatisfied with Mr. Nie and Mr. Chang. He knows that these two people do not like to see members of the Lin clan on weekdays. There are so many Lin's children, but they only favor the most down-and-out one, and they don't even pay attention to these old ones. .

Princess Jinshu recognized her nephew in front of people today, which is equivalent to acknowledging King Pingning's lineage. He has to make a good face in front of these two old things.

Arriving in the side room, the onlookers saw that it was the head of the Lin family and the elders, and they all respectfully called out: "The head of the Lin family."

"Cough."

Lin Tingzhen coughed vigorously, looked at Nie Huai'an and Chang Yanjue who were sitting upright in the middle, and deliberately straightened his posture: "I'm afraid everyone will be called Uncle Lin now."

Hearing this, Lin Jinxiao and the second elder raised their heads and looked over.

Lin Tingzhen walked over swaggeringly, clasped hands with the two elders, sat down beside Lin Jinxiao, and asked kindly: "Nephew, Princess Shu recognized your imperial brother today, but can you tell me when to welcome me?" Luyan Gang Lin family back to Beijing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Lao and Nie Lao leaned on their crutches, straightened their backs with solemn expressions, and their eyes were full of contempt.

Lin Jinxiao was a little unreasonable to the uncle's words, and slowly shook his head with a cold face.

Lin Tingzhen was a little anxious, and asked eagerly: "Then, did Princess Shu promise you anything?"

Lin Jinxiao raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Nanzhi, seeing that her expression was normal, he shook his head casually: "No."

"This"

Lin Tingzhen and the three elders looked at each other, looking a little disappointed.

After pondering for a moment, he turned his face, regained his benevolence, and said softly, "No hurry, no hurry, Princess Shu has won the trust of His Majesty and the Queen Mother. Her words and deeds represent the position of the imperial court. The emperor and the eldest princesses have returned to court, so it will be a matter of time before our lineage of King Pingning enters Beijing."

Hearing this, Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an frowned, lowered their heads silently, and didn't bother to pay attention.

It’s really a guy who doesn’t know the heights of the sky and the earth. King Pingning’s capital has been deposed for two hundred years, and these people are still dreaming of returning to Beijing.

These useless guys don't weigh it carefully, how can they be compared with their own students.

Phew.

Nie Huaian glared at Lin Tingzhen angrily.

Lin Tingzhen didn't care about the faces of the two elders, and said to himself: "The old uncle and your three uncles came here today to uphold justice for you and your nephew and daughter-in-law's family. The Qi family is also shameless. The uncle of the Chu family forced him into the marriage, which caused him to end up like this, and now he comes to slander the family, nephew, since you have married a daughter of the Chu family, the Lin family has to take care of the affairs of the Chu family, and the mother and son are corrupt Your uncle of the Chu family is famous, and this old uncle has to seek justice for him."

The people watching outside the door had just been dragged back from Qi's house by their family members. They were very close to Qi Mochen on weekdays. Hearing Lin Tingzhen's words at this moment, he said outside with some indignation:

"Head of the Lin family, what you said is not very pleasant. You had a funeral banquet at the Qi family yesterday, but I have never heard you say such a thing. I think you are very ardent to the husband of the Qi family. La."

"No matter, no matter."

Lin Tingzhen glared at the talkative person outside the door angrily, and looked at Chu Nanzhi with panic on his face: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, don't listen to people gossip, the old uncle is naturally targeting you and his wife. It's just an expedient measure for me to go to Qi's house, after all, we are both in the county town, so we will inevitably have to deal with each other."

Seeing his sincere and fearful expression, Chu Nanzhi felt a little uncomfortable.

The Chu family had no relationship with the Lin clan, so whoever he wanted to court had nothing to do with him or even with Liu Yun, Chu Wenbi and his wife.

Just about to answer, Lin Tingzhen hurriedly said: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, I heard something when my uncle and your uncles came over. It is said that the governor of the county also came to Qi's family for the funeral. The mother and son The two are begging Master Duyou to make decisions for them, and they are going to come and **** your uncle's body back."

"Oh, really?"

Chu Nanzhi was investigating the reason why Chu Wenyu took poison and had no way to start. Didn’t this come to his door? This is a good time to test whether the Qi family’s mother and son have ghosts in their hearts, and at the same time seek justice for the Chu family.

"It's absolutely true, the old uncle heard that most of the guests who mourned at Qi's family left today, and the mother and son were very angry."

As Lin Tingzhen spoke, he pointedly turned to the Liu and Chu families who were watching outside the door, and then said: "The people in your village all took money from the Qi family, and they only helped for a day at the family's house. If you are too busy, they will all pick you up, and they will lose face, so they threaten to return Brother Wenyu's body."

When the    people heard this, they all began to look at each other and discuss:

"We have returned all the money."

"Yes, besides, we were also deceived by the mother and son. They said that the second uncle took the uncle's body and refused to return it. That's why we were fooled."

Listening to the discussion, Nie Huai'an patted the table, and said angrily first: "This old man will never tolerate the Qi family's mother and son messing around."

The crutches in the hands of the head of the Chu family slammed loudly on the ground: "Even if the old people risk their lives, they will never let them act recklessly in front of Wen Yuling."

Chang Yanjue remained silent, but looked at his new student with a calm expression.

Looking at the whole room full of people who became angry from embarrassment, Chu Nanzhi first said patiently: "All clansmen and neighbors, just listen to me, my uncle doesn't want to go back to Qi's house until he dies, he just wants to bury the ancestor of the Chu family Tomb, as the eldest daughter of the Chu family, I must respect his last wish, and this is also what the Qi family's mistress agreed to on that day."

After speaking here, her tone suddenly became severe:

"But now the mistress of the Qi family has turned back on her promises in order to arrange for my uncle's funeral. Today I will put the ugly words first. All elders, brothers and sisters in the clan, if you sincerely come to take care of my uncle's funeral, I will be grateful, even if it is not I wish Chu Nanzhi would not blame me for going through this muddy water, but if someone dares to help the evildoers, help the Qi family to provoke troubles, and smear my Chu family's name, then don't blame me for turning my face and denying them."

"No, no, Nan Zhi, don't worry, we are sincerely here to take care of the funeral for brother-in-law this time."

Liu Yun's cousin, Liu Piaopiao, answered first, and the rest of them quickly followed suit.
