Chapter 138 Crab Eating Incident
After thinking it over, Lin Yuxi decided that it would be better to ask clearly, so she was teased today. She leaned against someone's chest and asked, "You seem to be worried lately. Is there something on your mind?"
Yang Chenchuan's eyes changed slightly, as if he didn't expect her to ask this. He pinched her nose and said aggrievedly: "My biggest worry is that I have a beautiful woman in my arms, but I can't eat her."
Lin Yuxi touched her nose which was pinched and hurt, and she couldn't help but get angry. He was still complaining about her. She pinched his chest twice, but it was too hard and she couldn't pinch it, so she could only withdraw her hands in disappointment.
She snorted, "I am doing this for my husband's good. Excessive indulgence is very harmful to your health."
The corner of Yang Chenchuan's mouth twitched. This girl was too imaginative. She wasn't even shy to say these words. He was speechless, but he couldn't get angry. Instead, he doted on her even more.
"Don't play dumb in front of me. You were very talkative just now, but now you are silent when I ask you. Go ahead and say something!" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Yuxi grabbed his shoulders and shook them hard.
Yang Chenchuan didn't want to say it at first, but she was so good at pestering him that he could actually dodge her. However, he couldn't bear to let go of Lin Yuxi, so he was defeated in the end.
He sighed. What he felt was not a worry, but shame. He was unworthy of being a husband, but he couldn't even support his wife. Lin Yuxi wanted to open a shop in Kyoto, but he couldn't even take out tens of thousands of taels of silver. Looking at her disappointed look, his heart was in turmoil.
Lin Yuxi was inexplicably moved after hearing this. It turned out that he was unhappy because of her. What a fool!
She wrinkled her nose and pouted: "Who said my husband can't support his wife? He has two shops now, and I don't eat much, so it's enough. Those nonsense are just what I said in anger.
Yang Chenchuan chuckled, holding her hand tightly, and heard her say: "Our business will continue to grow, but not now. When we have money, we will expand our business all over the country."
"You..." Yang Chenchuan pulled her ears, feeling indescribable.
She was giving him face, so he could only afford the money to buy the shop. The money for decoration and operation was all hers. If it weren't for her, he would not have these two shops. She took all the credit for herself.
As he thought about it, he started to feel itchy inside. How could he not love such a little guy?
"Madam, should we finish what we just left unfinished?"
Suddenly, he whispered in her ear. Lin Yuxi jumped up in fright. Yang Chenchuan no longer gave her a chance to resist.
The bathroom is a haven of spring.
.....................
This was an era when moon worship and lantern watching were popular. Long before dark, the two had already arrived at the main hall. Exquisite lanterns were hung everywhere in the mansion, and incense tables and incense burners were set up in front of the main hall, with moon cakes and fruits on offer, ready for night worship of the moon.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people have a reunion dinner. In order to enjoy the moon, the tables and chairs are moved outside to face the lake with a wide view. There are boxes on the table filled with various dried and fresh fruits, candies and candied fruits. When night falls, maids start to place cold and hot dishes on the table, as well as freshly steamed fat crabs and minced ginger with wine, vinegar and ginger.
The whole family just filled up the round table, even the old lady who was rarely seen came out. Like the old lady, the old lady sat in the Buddhist hall every day, so everyone was exempted from paying their respects.
That made sense, because the First Lady and the Second Lady were on an equal footing, the Second Lady's daughter-in-law would naturally go to the Second Lady's room to pay her respects, but the First Lady would go to the Second Lady's room almost every morning, and to others it seemed as if she was paying her respects to the Second Lady.
But Lin Yuxi was very curious. They were clearly two people of the same age, so where did the term "first lady" and "second lady" come from?
The Second Madam entered the house first, so it was understandable that the First Madam paid her respects to the Second Madam. However, there was also a reputation involved. If someone was interested, they would definitely accuse the First Master of favoring his concubine over his wife.
Isn't this exactly what happens to outsiders? Is this a coincidence or is it intentional?
She couldn't help but glance at the eldest lady sitting opposite her. She saw that she was considerately picking up food for Master Ye, while the second lady was eating with a calm expression.
Lin Yuxi thought that the Second Madam must be feeling bad. The position that originally belonged to her was snatched away by the First Madam, who was an official's wife, and half of her husband was also taken away from her. She also had to endure their flirting.
She didn't know how the Second Madam had endured all these years, but she knew that if it were her, she would end up living alone and bear the infamy rather than share her husband with other women.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxi couldn't help but turn her head to look at Yang Chenchuan, who just picked up a piece of goose meat for her, put it in her bowl, and said with a smile: "Eat it quickly."
Lin Yuxi felt soft-hearted, but glared at him. If he picked up food for her in front of so many people, she would be criticized again.
As expected, Diwu Xufang burst out laughing, and her soft and gentle voice slipped into her ears. "Second brother is so considerate! He even picked up some food for my wife."
Diwu Xufang's words focused the attention of everyone at the table on them. Lin Yuxi looked over and could easily detect the dissatisfaction of the old lady and Master Ye.
As a wife, she should take care of her husband, wash his clothes and cook for him, ask about his well-being, and pick food for him. But now she is doing the opposite. Although it cannot be considered unfilial, it is not good. Men should wait to be served, and should not be sentimental.
Lin Yuxi looked up at the sky in silence. She didn't do anything, so why was the veteran pointing the finger at her?
Didn't he just send two singing girls to Yang Chenxi? Why is she still holding a grudge against him? Or was it she who sent the maid to cause trouble for her first? One for each, one time, we're even.
They are sisters-in-law, and Diwu Xufang is the eldest sister-in-law. Lin Yuxi had no intention of ruining their relationship. She did nothing wrong in reciprocity. But some people have narrow minds and can hold grudges for a lifetime over the smallest things.
She smiled coquettishly and angrily: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, sister-in-law. Yuxi is greedy and wants to eat goose meat, but her arms are too short to reach it, so I asked my husband for a favor, but sister-in-law saw it."
Everyone saw that the plate of goose meat was indeed quite far away, so they let it go and withdrew their thoughts.
Diwu Xufang frowned and bit his lip, looking at Lin Yuxi with extreme anger.
It's all her fault. If she hadn't sent some singing girls, her husband wouldn't have stayed away from her room for several days, and would have been thinking about those two seductive girls all day long.
She just wanted to scold the singing girl, but her husband seemed to be heartbroken and started scolding her instead, calling her a jealous woman. Diwu Xufang was almost so angry that she vomited blood.
Is she a jealous woman? If she were a jealous woman, would she let him take concubines one after another?
Now, she was being scolded for two seductive women. She couldn't swallow this anger. And the person who made her suffer was Lin Yuxi, who smiled harmlessly and looked like she was not worldly.
At this time, Lin Yuxi called the maids to bring water, ready to wash her hands and finish the big plate of crabs on the table that she had been drooling over for a long time.
Yang Chenchuan glanced at Diwu Xufang, feeling unhappy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
