Chapter 152 Yun Mansion Family Dinner
Yun Xiangdong did not tell his wife Wang when he came back that Yun Mo had taken a concubine, and his sister-in-law did not care either. Thinking of this, Yun Zhenchuan signaled to his wife Wang with his eyes.
Wang Cuo glanced at him, put on a smile and asked Yunmu, "Sister-in-law, when did Moer take a concubine?"
As soon as she said this, everyone at the table looked at Lin Yinan.
Yunmu smiled and said, "She is not a concubine, but Mo'er's wife."
Yun Zhenchuan was puzzled, "Wife, isn't Mo'er still unmarried?"
"They got married on their way south, and they couldn't contact each other on the way, so they couldn't notify you."
Yun Zhenchuan snorted and said indifferently, "Without a matchmaker or a betrothal, I shall be your concubine."
Yun Mo frowned and was about to argue, but Lin Yinan beside him pulled him back in time. Yun Mu gave them both a reassuring look.
"The young couple got married in the presence of the head of the Lin family and Master Su. The marriage certificate has been signed. An Nan is a daughter-in-law that I like very much."
Hearing Yunmu's words defending Lin Yinan, Yun Zhenchuan was very unhappy. His eyes were filled with anger and his face looked extremely ugly. He had been an official in the South for many years and no one had ever disobeyed him like this.
Besides, he had already promised the head of the Fan family to let Yun Mo marry the eldest daughter of the Fan family so that the Yun family could quickly gain a foothold in the south. He did this for the good of the Yun family.
How could he explain to the Fan family about his wife who suddenly appeared? He glanced at Lin Yinan, who had an indifferent expression, and turned his eyes away in anger.
The Dafang family is really ungrateful!
Wang saw her husband's expression from the corner of her eye and smiled to smooth things over, "Sister-in-law, don't be so formal. Your husband is worried about his nephew."
"How could that be? His grandfather and his father are gone, and his second uncle cares about his nephew. I am so happy that I can't express it in words."
Wang held Yunmu's hand affectionately and said, "The children have never met each other. Let's get to know each other first today."
"Listen to you."
Yun Zhenchuan had a wife and two concubines. His wife, Wang Fengzhen, was from a branch of the Wang family in Shangjing and gave birth to two sons and one daughter.
Wang's eldest son Yunjing is 22 years old this year. He has a wife and a concubine. His wife Jiang gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is five years old, the daughter is three years old, and the youngest son is just one year old. The concubine Wu gave birth to a two-year-old daughter.
The second son, Yunze, is twenty years old this year. His wife, Ms. Fang, has a three-year-old son.
My daughter, Yunhua, is eighteen years old this year. She married the second son of the Shao family, a noble family in Nanzhou Prefecture. They have been married for nearly three years but have no children.
Yun Zhenchuan's concubine, Kong, gave birth to two sons. The eldest son, Fang Yu, is 21 years old this year. He married An and gave birth to two sons. The youngest son, Yun Kang, is 15 years old this year.
Wei was well maintained and looked to be no more than 20 years old. She was Yun Zhenchuan's most favored concubine and gave birth to the most children.
She had two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter, Yun Yi, was sixteen years old this year. She married a scholarly family in Nanzhou Prefecture last year. She was pregnant and about to give birth, so she did not come back this time. The eldest son, Yun Hao, was fifteen years old this year. The second daughter, Yun Yan, was twelve years old. The second son, Yun Ling, was ten years old.
After the two branches of the Yun family introduced themselves to each other, the servants began to serve the dishes one after another.
Lin Yinan was already starving, and after Yun Zhenchuan, the head of the family, picked up his chopsticks, everyone started to eat.
Lin Yinan also ate heartily without hesitation. Yun Mo felt sorry for the hardships she had gone through along the way and picked up some food for her from time to time.
While she was eating, a pair of hostile eyes were staring at her. Lin Yinan ignored it and continued to eat.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.
Yun Hua looked at Lin Yinan's starving appearance and couldn't help but sneer, "You still say you come from a scholarly family, you are so vulgar and have no manners at all."
Yunmu was feeding her four-year-old granddaughter carefully. Hearing this, she looked up and smiled at Yunhua, who had a look of disgust on his face.
"Anan is pregnant now, and she is eating for two people. It's a good thing that she has a good appetite. You will naturally understand it when you get pregnant in the future."
Yunhua's face suddenly changed, and the dish in her chopsticks fell onto the table with a plop. The soup splashed on her exquisite clothes, leaving deep marks. She had been married for almost three years and still couldn't get pregnant, and she hated it most when people talked about her about this.
She wanted to retort, but Wang's eyes suppressed her, so she had to swallow her anger.
Yunhua was so angry that he was shaking all over. He threw down his chopsticks and left the table.
"How disgraceful! You've spoiled her. She's so grown up but still acts so willful." Yun Zhenchuan didn't care that the people from the main branch of the Yun family were still there and didn't give Wang any face at all.
Wang held the bowl and said nothing.
The eldest wife of the Yun family seemed not to have heard anything. They all focused on eating. They were very satisfied with the meal.
After the meal, the servants served tea.
Seeing that Yun Zhenchuan didn't mention their resettlement, Yun Ye came straight to the point and asked, "Second Uncle, have you noticed any place in Nanzhou Prefecture where we can stay and settle down?"
Yun Zhenchuan carefully skimmed off the foam on the tea leaves, blew on it, took a sip, and said slowly, "There's no rush. You've come a long way, so take a good rest first."
The Yunye brothers looked at each other, concealed their emotions, picked up their tea and started drinking.
Yun Zhenchuan chatted with the Yun brothers about some irrelevant topics, but never talked about business.
Seeing that it was already dark, he said, "Oh, it's so late, you must be tired from the journey, go back early and rest today."
After the people from the main house left, Yun Zhenchuan took his three adult sons to the study.
After closing the door of the study, the eldest son Yun Jing couldn't wait to ask, "Dad, what about the deal we made with the Fan family?"
Yun Zhenchuan frowned. This was indeed beyond his expectations. He thought Yun Ye would die on the road, and the remaining Yun Mo would be easier to control. He never expected that he would survive.
"I will go to the Fan Mansion in person tomorrow."
The second son, Yun Yu, asked, "Are we just going to leave them alone like this?"
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the third son Yunze got up to open the door.
The person who came was Yun Xiangdong. He bowed and saluted to each of them one by one.
Yun Zhenchuan pointed to a chair and asked him to sit down. "Tell us what you have learned in the past two days."
After Yun Xiangdong sat down, he said, "I came back with Second Master Yun and his men today. There were about 30 to 40 carriages in their team. The carriages were covered tightly with oilcloths and the secret guards were watching closely. I was unable to find out what was on the carriages."
After hearing this, the three people in the study room's eyes lit up and they all turned to look at Yun Zhenchuan.
"Dad, could it be the gold and silver treasures that grandpa left us?" Aunt Yun Yu came from a merchant family, and he had been influenced by her since he was a child, so he paid more attention to matters of money.
Yunze was even more indignant in his heart, "Then let them take it out. That's what Grandpa left for us, we can't let them monopolize it all."
Yun Zhenchuan waved his hands at his three sons, "Don't worry, we haven't found out the truth yet." He turned around and instructed Yun Xiangdong, "While they are in the mansion now, find a few more Yuns with good skills to find out the truth, and then find out who is in the team."
"Yes, let's do it right away." Yun Xiangdong stood up, took the order and left the study.
The father and his two sons discussed the Yun family's eldest branch until late at night.
