Chapter 3 Family

It was the cold winter, and there was a lot of silver charcoal burning in the east room. When the curtain was lifted, a gurgling warm current poured out.

Lin Ruoyan tried hard to suppress the irritability that arose in his heart and walked into the inner room with a calm face.

Liu was sitting on the big kang by the window talking to a boy about seven years old.

The kang is covered with thick cashmere mattresses, and by the window is a smoky and mountain-colored red sandalwood screen and a pot of graceful daffodils, warm and warm.

Liu's face looked full of smiles.

Aunt Wan, wearing a moon-white embroidered royal blue honeysuckle, held a young boy like a New Year picture and sat on the carved pear wooden chair on the right side of the kang, with a faint expression, but there was ridicule and disdain in her eyes.

"Miss Fifth is here!" Lin's mother, who was standing beside Liu, saw Lin Ruoyan at a glance and hurriedly reminded her.

Liu became even more happy and turned around and waved to Lin Ruoyan, "Sister Ruo is here? Hurry up, sit down next to my mother."

The boy next to Liu also straightened his neck and asked for help, "Fifth Sister, you are here! My mother just checked my homework and memorized it, and I recited it all!"

Although Lin Ruoyan was depressed, he could only hold up a smile and praised: "Brother Xin is so awesome!"

Seeing that Lin Ruoyan's expression was wrong, Liu hurriedly reached out to pull her over, looked at her forehead, frowned and said, "Isn't it all right yet? Why is his face so bad?"

Lin Ruoyan shook his head and said reluctantly: "It's all right, mom, don't worry about the latest chapter of the generation of Domineering God."

Liu then turned his gaze to Lin Zhaoyan. Although it was very concealed, Lin Zhaoyan still sensitively captured the disgust and contempt in her eyes.

Although I don’t care much, I still have a deep confusion in my heart, a confusion that I have never solved.

What exactly is Liu's purpose to hate his biological daughter so much?

"It has nothing to do with my sister, she has apologized." Lin Ruoyan stood sideways beside Lin Zhaoyan, pulled Liu's hand, and said coquettishly: "Mom, I'm really fine. I'm probably just recovering and have a bad complexion."

Even though Liu was in doubt, he couldn't ask any more.

"Miss Five is worthy of being the granddaughter raised by the old lady. Her upbringing is extraordinary. She can easily forgive her by being hurt like that. This kind of generosity is really admirable." Aunt Wan spoke with a smile, and said to Lin Xingyan: "Xiao'er, learn more from your fifth sister in the future."

Everyone heard the sarcasm in her words.

Lin Ruoyan choked and was about to choke back, but was pulled by Liu. Then he heard her say, "The master is coming back soon. Brother Xin is so busy that he is so hard that Brother Qi is doing?"

Aunt Wan's face suddenly turned pale.

Everyone knows that Mr. Lin San is very knowledgeable and has a strong academic performance, and he focuses on the education of his children. The girls in the third room have invited their husbands to study, which is even more indifferent to the man who will start a family and start a career in the future.

Although Aunt Wan is very good at winning men's hearts, she is more than a little worse than Liu's in terms of upbringing.

Brother Qi has been taught to be naughty and playboy by her in recent years. Except for being more obedient in front of Master Lin San, he always looks arrogant and arrogant. Sometimes he even dares to fight with his husband, so it goes without saying how he reads this book.

This is also why Liu happily agreed to keep Brother Qi next to Aunt Wan.

Where does a woman who only knows about love and love all day long have the capital to educate her children well? And the playboy and incompetent concubine is not afraid of it.

At this time, Concubine Xiang suddenly lifted her through the curtain, and a maid stood at the door respectfully and said, "Three Lady, Mrs. Hou, please invite the ladies and girls from all rooms to Rongsheng and gather together."

☆★☆★☆★

Jian'an Hou Mansion is a century-old family. It has a title during the reign of Emperor Taizu of Yan and has been passed down to this day.

According to legend, Lin Yi, the ancestor of Jian'an Marquis Mansion, was the most powerful general around Yan Taizu. He fought bravely and strictly governed the army. He made countless military achievements in the battles between Yan Taizu. Yan's historical books recorded that he was "he was very powerful and unpredictable, and he was very strict in the battle and became stronger when facing great enemies."

In the sixth year of Hongwu in Yan, he expeditioned to the north of Mobei and captured more than 10,000 enemy soldiers. The following year, he divided his journey with the general Xu Da to the north, captured the enemy's king's grandson and concubines and princesses, and seized tens of millions of taels of gold, silver and jewelry. After returning to the court, he was promoted to the left governor of the Grand Governor's Office, the feudal Anhou, and inherited his title for generations.

Emperor Taizu of Yan then gave him another mansion, which is the Jian'an Marquis Mansion, which is now located in Badeng Lane. It is said that it was the mansion of King Duan of the previous dynasty.

The Jian'an Hou Mansion is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with carved beams and painted buildings, green tiles and red tiles. It has both the majestic atmosphere of the northern courtyard and the exquisite and soft pavilions of the south of the Yangtze River. The courtyards and pavilions in the nine-curve circle are stacked with layers of pavilions in various places, which is extremely luxurious.

Rongshengtang is located directly north of the Hou Mansion. It was originally the residence of Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin. After Mrs. Lin passed away, Mrs. Lin moved to Rongshoutang west of the Hou Mansion. Lin Kun, the eldest son of the Lin family, inherited the title and moved in with Mrs. Lu.

Rongsheng Hall faces north and south. In front of the main house, there is a lotus pond with green water. There are all kinds of strange flowers in the rockery in the pond. Because it is a winter when snow is flying, the rockery is covered with a layer of white snow, and a layer of thin ice is formed on the surface of the pond. You can vaguely see the red koi Korean entertainment variety show fantasy swimming under the pond.

Lin Zhaoyan and his party walked through the screen wall and crossed the courtyard, bypassed a large marble screen with red sandalwood shelf, and walked along the hand-paper corridor beside the lotus pond to the door of the main room. Several little maids with green jackets were already standing outside the door.

"The third lady, the fourth lady, the fifth lady, the seventh lady." The little maids saluted them one by one, and then opened the silver felt curtain to invite them in.

The Marquis's wife, Lu, had not arrived yet, and the fourth wife and the fourth wife, Lin Yao, who was the deputy envoy of the comforting envoy, went to Guangzhou to serve. There were only the second and fifth wife in the room.

The second wife, Qin and the fifth wife, Wu, were sitting on the chair of the bats, mahogany with painted paint, talking, looking quite serious.

Several girls from the two houses who were born out of the illegitimate family gathered together in groups of three or three and whispered.

"Yuxin, are you here?" Qin saw Liu appear, hurriedly got up and greeted her.

Wu stood up and saluted respectfully to see An.

Lin Zhaoyan, Lin Ruoyan and several sisters also nodded to each other and greeted each other.

"Yuxin, this sister-in-law never had to settle down in the morning and evening. She called us all over here today, but for the matter in the palace?" Qin's eyebrows slightly frowned, obviously with uneasiness and worry.

Wu also said worriedly: "Sister-in-law, you are very knowledgeable. Are there something wrong with what happened in the palace this time?"

Although Liu is not the oldest, because she was born in the wealthy family of Yanling, her ancestors were once the regent tutors around the emperor, and she married the third master who was born in the legitimate state. She has always been the leader of the family because Mrs. Hou was not here.

Liu looked at the obvious uneasiness and worry on the faces of the two concubines, and chuckled and shook his head, "Who can tell the things in the palace clearly? I am just an illiterate woman. I just teach my son and daughter well, and I can't take care of the rest. I'd better wait until my sister-in-law comes!"

Qin and Wu looked at each other, and both saw uneasiness in each other's eyes.

The two of them are the wives of the illegitimate masters, and their weight in the marquis's mansion has always been inferior to the big and three bedrooms of the legitimate family. Although Mrs. Lin is polite to them, she never lets them know any privacy in secret.

This time something happened in the palace. Old Mrs. Lin was summoned into the palace overnight. Today, after Mao Zhengchu came back, he immediately summoned the Marquis to talk. On the surface, it seemed calm, but who knew about this private open and secret struggle?

They didn't expect to be sacrificed by the Marquis' Mansion in the end!

At this moment, the curtain outside suddenly lifted, and a cold wind blew in with snowflakes, disturbing the warmth flowing inside the house.

"Mrs. Hou is here!"

Following the announcement from the little maid, several people looked out and saw a beautiful woman wearing a large begonia flower-carved flower-carved flower-like bun, wearing a hanging cloud bun, and a crane-mouthed emerald and silver hairpin, surrounded by the maid and her mother.

It was Lu, the wife of Jian'an Hou Lin Kun.

Behind her were two young women.

The older ones wore goose yellow embroidered osmanthus branches and silk silver rat jacket, and plain begonia lantern skirts all over the ground, hanging bun, falling down, tassels shaking, and a gentle and quiet look on their face.

She is the wife of Lin Jue, the eldest son of the eldest son of the big house. She was born in the Ma family of Yangzhou Prefecture. Her grandfather was the saint of Xinglin appointed by the late emperor. Although she does not work in the Imperial Hospital, she has many students all over the world.

Originally, the eldest son of the Marquis of Jian'an were going to marry the daughter of the Marquis of Chengguo's mansion, and they were already in love with the two surnames. However, it is said that Lin Jue fell in love with the Ma family who had a poem at first sight at a flower viewing banquet. At that time, Lin Jue was at a rebellious age and could not tolerate others to decide his own marriage. At that time, despite his parents' opposition, he went to the Ma family's mansion alone to propose marriage. While angering the Marquis, he also captured the Ma family's heart.

Later, the two had a tortuous experience in their love, but in the end, Mr. Ma took over and got married, and finally led to the latest chapter of the marriage Zhan Zhan Qingtian.

Mrs. Hou began to be quite dissatisfied with Ma. When Ma first married into the Marquis' mansion, he was provoking and competing against each other. However, gradually, he was moved by Ma's gentleness and filial piety. He has let her help manage the common affairs over the years.

Although Lin Zhaoyan is not familiar with Ma, she admires her forbearance and persistence. If an ordinary girl would only cry when encountering problems and have no opinion, she would not have the current status.

However, due to the sudden insertion of the Ma family, the marriage between the Marquis of Jian'an and Duke Cheng's Mansion was temporarily put on hold.

Lin Zhaoyan heard that Old Lady Lin seemed to have intended to marry the third girl in the big room and Lin Ruoyan to the Duke Cheng's Mansion.

Thinking of this, he swept his eyes at the younger woman behind Lu, who was the third girl Lin Jinming.

She wore a small pink cloud brocade jacket with a pair of butterflies playing with flowers, a moon-white embroidered rose-like wave skirt, a shiny eyebrows, and a combed high into the cloud bun. She was wearing a pink floral glazed belt with small diamonds and tassel hairpins, quiet and cute.

"Are you all here?" Lu glanced at everyone lightly, and then helped Ma and Madam Liu to sit on the carved Grand Master's chair of the black golden nanmu on the head.

The girls who were whispering just now immediately returned to their mothers, stood up obediently, and listened to the training intently.

"You should know what happened in the palace," Mrs. Hou cleared her throat and spoke lightly.

Qin and Wu quickly held their breath and looked at Lu without blinking, fearing that they would miss something.

However, Liu was indifferent, holding a blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, listening casually.

"My mother entered the palace last night. When she came back, she summoned the Marquis to give a lecture, saying that the prince took the Sixth Princess to climb up the high-rise and watched the fireworks, so she accidentally fell off the high-rise building, causing a tragedy. Although the Marquis and I were sad about such a thing and sympathized with the Queen Jing Concubine, we still want to remind you here that the road is slippery in the snow, so you must be careful everywhere. If you are not careful, it will be the fate of the Prince and the Sixth Princess. Do you understand?"

The girls were frightened when they heard this. They only knew that the prince and the sixth princess had died. They never thought that they would die so miserably. They fell down from a high building...

However, several ladies frowned and clearly heard the voice-over of Lu.

"The prince has passed away, and everyone in the country must be mourned. Our marquis's mansion is a royal relative, and we must pay attention to our words and deeds. Two days later, the prince and the sixth princess will be held at the funeral. That day, someone will come to the door to tailor the clothes in the afternoon." Lu said slowly, his eyes circulating and fell on Qin. "Second brother and sister, your family's wedding will be put on hold for a year."

Lin Bingzhi, the second daughter of the second wife, was eighteen years old. When she was in the palace, she was picky and she was too late to get older. Last year, she finally got to a happy marriage. She had already settled and was waiting to pass by. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?

Although Qin was depressed, she could not get married for a year after the country was mourned. What could she do?

"It's okay, I've given up all the betrothal gifts, and I'm not afraid of them running away." Qin said deliberately jokingly.

Mrs. Lu smiled, "That's good."

Mrs. Lu said a few more words of warning and said to the girls: "You sisters, go to the flower hall to talk. I have something to talk to your mother."

The girls answered "yes" one after another and bowed to leave.
