Dinner was Shandong cuisine at Dongxinglou.
When it comes to food, the taste in Xiangjiang is quite different from that in Beijing.
But Lin Si seemed to like the taste of Beijing very much. She almost choked after eating a big bowl of rice.
in the car.
"Dad, can we still come to eat tomorrow?" Lin Si raised her little head and asked.
"There are eight buildings in the capital, so where can I go?" Lin Shaowen chuckled softly, "If you like, I will take you around the eight buildings."
"Really?" Lin Si said excitedly.
"Since you like eating so much, you should become a gourmet in the future and eat all Chinese delicacies." Lin Shaowen joked.
"foodie?"
When Lin Si heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Although he didn't know what a gourmet was, hearing that he could eat all the Chinese delicacies was enough to excite him.
"No." Lou Xiao'e said with a straight face, "Lin Side will take over Lin's Pharmaceuticals in the future, and he can't be a gourmet."
Lin Si seemed to be discouraged and fell silent.
"Lou Xiao'e, I have to say something to you about this." Lin Shaowen said casually, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Why do you care so much? It's enough for him to do what he wants to do in his life."
"You...hum."
Lou Xiao'e didn't want to argue with him.
Lin Shaowen didn't bother to talk to her, and just talked to Lin Si about various Chinese delicacies.
Not a moment.
After arriving at Lou's mansion, Lin Shaowen was about to go back to the courtyard to talk to Qin Huairu and the others, but he didn't expect that Qin Huairu was already sitting on the steps, with a young girl carved in pink and jade beside him.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Shaowen hurriedly got out of the car, hugged Qin Yue, and kissed her hard on her pink face.
"Godfather."
Qin Yue shouted happily.
"Xiao'e."
Qin Huairu was a little nervous when she saw Lou Xiao'e.
"Sister Qin."
Lou Xiao'e held her hand generously and said with a smile, "Why are you sitting outside? Let's go in and talk."
"Eh."
Qin Huairu agreed, but followed Lin Shaowen.
"Dad, who is she?"
Lin Si pulled on Lin Shaowen's clothes.
"Lin Yue, your sister." Lou Xiao'e's voice came from inside the house.
"Lin Yue?"
Lin Si tilted her head and looked at Qin Yue, who also looked at him curiously.
In the living room.
After Lou Xiao'e brought two cups of hot tea, she waved to Lin Si and said, "Take your sister to play. I have something to say with your Aunt Qin..."
"Um."
Lin Si agreed and reached out to Qin Yue.
Qin Yue was not afraid of life, so she held his hand and followed him to the room.
The three of them suddenly fell into silence.
Lin Shaowen picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with some embarrassment, "If you have anything to say, just say it. They are just acquaintances. There is no need to negotiate..."
"snort."
Lou Xiao'e squeaked, looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Sister Qin, since Lin Yue is Shaowen's child, I will naturally recognize her, so I plan to take her to Xiangjiang for education..."
"But……"
"It's nothing." Lou Xiao'e said forcefully, "Lin Yue is our Lin family, so naturally she has to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan. It's better than hanging on to the title of 'Qin Yue', right? If she were here, she would only I can call Shaowen my godfather."
Qin Huairu lowered his head.
Lou Xiao'e had spoken to her heart, and she didn't want Qin Yue to recognize her ancestors and follow Lin Shaowen's surname, instead of using the nondescript "Qin" character and appear as an illegitimate daughter when she grew up.
"I know what you are worried about, but I, Lou Xiao'e, am not so stingy." Lou Xiao'e said solemnly, "I have no children, so I will naturally raise Lin Yue as my own daughter. If we can come back in the future...she is Lin’s daughter.”
"As for the assets in my name, she will also have the right to inherit them when she grows up."
This was said very sincerely.
"good."
Although Qin Huairu was reluctant to give up, she still nodded and agreed.
"You can live here with her these days and let her get acquainted with Lin Si." Lou Xiao'e let out a long sigh of relief.
"Xiao Mo, thank you." Qin Huairu said gratefully.
"Um."
Lou Xiao'e nodded slightly and looked at Lin Shaowen.
"Xiao Mo, do you want to meet Jingru and Haitang?" Qin Huairu whispered.
"Gone." Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said, "They don't have children, so there is nothing to say when they see them."
"I can't see that you still have this side." Lin Shaowen laughed dumbly, "What? Without children... I'm not even worthy of meeting you?"
"You can't be considered a member of our family if you don't have children." Lou Xiao'e said sternly, "According to the old etiquette, you can't go out anywhere, and you can't even enter the ancestral temple."
"Hey, Lou Xiao'e, how come I discovered that after you have been in Xiangjiang for two years, your thoughts have become more conservative. What about ancestral temples and ancestral halls... We are all people living in the new era. Don't do this." Lin Shaowen said helplessly. .
"Conservative?" Lou Xiao'e sneered, "Our Lin family is a well-known family in Xiangjiang...even the governor can see us."
Qin Huairu covered her mouth in surprise.
What Lou Xiao'e said was too shocking for her, a semi-literate person.
She only understood the four words "prominent family", and she had no idea what a governor was.
"You're crazy."
Lin Shaowen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It's you who can't keep up with the times." Lou Xiao'e said seriously, "I wish you could have more children. Our company is developing very fast, and we will need manpower everywhere in the future... The foundation of a rich family is not how much money it has, but how much money it has. It’s about the prosperity of the population.”
In today's Xiangjiang, wealthy families are almost always supported by a large family.
There are many people who can start from scratch by themselves, but their development is always limited.
Qin Huairu's pretty face suddenly turned red, and her original belief that she did not plan to have a child began to waver again.
"Lou Xiao'e, you have been to Xiangjiang for a few years, and you were really poisoned by them." Lin Shaowen said displeased, "We are just ordinary people, nothing more."
"I can't tell you clearly."
Lou Xiao'e didn't want to argue with Lin Shaowen.
She really needs help, preferably one she cultivated herself.
It would only take twenty years for Lin Si and Qin Yue to grow up, and she could still afford to wait.
"Then...then you might as well have another one." Qin Huairu suggested.
"It depends on whether someone is willing or not." Lou Xiao'e curled her lips and said, "He has very good medical skills. If he doesn't want a child, I will never be able to get pregnant again in my life."
"ah?"
Qin Huairu's eyes widened in surprise.
She had some doubts about whether Lin Shaowen had used some means.
Before she told Lin Shaowen that she wanted a child, the two had been together for more than a year without any news. After she told Lin Shaowen that she wanted a child, she became pregnant within a month.
Is it possible that Lin Shaowen's medical skills are really that high?
"Shaowen, if you don't want to go with me, I won't force you, but Lin Si still wants younger brothers and sisters." Lou Xiao'e said softly.
"Why."
Lin Shaowen sighed leisurely.
He still doesn't understand, what's the use of having so many children?
In his time, many women regarded it as a very honorable thing not to have children.
