Chapter 30 There aren’t even chairs, right?

Passing through the screen, Jin Zhixing stood in front of everyone.

At that moment, the voices in the hall disappeared.

Shu Yao followed Jin Zhixing's steps and walked towards the main table in the hall.

Finally, he stopped in front of an old man sitting in the center of the main table.

Based on what the servant said just now, Shu Yao guessed that this must be the old lady that the servant mentioned.

"Grandma." Jin Zhixing said with a little respect.

The old lady was wearing a plain cheongsam, her graying hair on the temples was neatly coiled up high, and she was extremely elegant.

But his weathered eyes are extremely sharp, making people in awe of him.

Suddenly, Shu Yao felt the old lady's eyes falling on her.

So Shu Yao followed Jin Zhixing's call, "Grandma."

The old lady nodded slightly, but her eyes fell on the hands holding each other.

Like a silent hall, everyone's eyes began to come alive, constantly moving between the main tables.

"Grandma." Jin Zhixing was the first to break the silence, "This is my wife, Shu Yao."

Jin Zhixing's volume was neither too loud nor too quiet, but it was enough for everyone in the hall to hear what he said.

"I know, let's sit down first." The old lady's expression was as usual, but she didn't say anything. She picked up the chopsticks on the side and continued, "But there are not enough chairs at the dining table."

Shu Yao glanced at the dining table, where there was only one empty chair.

"It doesn't matter."

Hearing Shu Yao speak, the people at the main table inadvertently cast their eyes on her.

With some curiosity, I wanted to know what Shu Yao would say next.

Should I tolerate it obediently, or should I resist without mercy?

Shu Yao looked relaxed and looked at the old lady with a smile, "I see there is room on the table, so I will add another chair."

The servants did not dare to act without the old lady's instructions.

Shu Yao naturally knew this, but in this situation, she did not intend to have such self-knowledge.

Then he continued:

"Our house is so big, we shouldn't even have a chair, right?"

A simple rhetorical question.

If the old lady still wants to embarrass her, she can only refuse to let her sit down because there is no chair.

But now I can't even get a chair out of the huge main house, which is equivalent to slapping the main family in the face in front of other relatives.

Sure enough, the old lady paused unexpectedly, tilted her head and gestured to the servant, with a strong voice, "Go get a chair."

After receiving the order, the servant ran to get the chair.

The chair didn't arrive so quickly for a while, so Jin Zhixing held Shu Yao's hand and said, "Are you tired? Sit down first."

Shu Yao met Jin Zhixing's eyes, received the message, and sat down with peace of mind.

Completely ignoring the prying eyes of others at the table.

After a while, the servant delivered the chair.

Jin Zhixing took the chair and sat next to Shu Yao.

After everyone had sat down and the old lady moved her chopsticks, others began to pick up their chopsticks.

The first rule of table etiquette in the Jin family is to eat without speaking.

Jin Zhixing had done some homework for her before coming here, so Shu Yao would try to avoid minefields.

After the meal, everyone ate very quietly.

There was only the sound of dishes and chopsticks clinking together from time to time.

According to the rules of previous years, after dinner, we would gather together in the pavilion to chat.

Shu Yao took Jin Zhixing's arm and followed the others there.
