Chapter 7 The colorful appearances of all living beings in the Lin family

After Lin Zhixiu washed up, Grandma Wang asked the kitchen to bring some porridge and side dishes. After eating, she took a nice nap in Chaoyunju. She was really tired, and she slept very deeply.

As soon as she got up to wash herself, Jin Huan, the eldest girl next to Mrs. Lin, came.

Jin Huan was upright, neat, and well-dressed in clothes and jewelry. She behaved very well, and after saluting, she said, "Third girl, the old man and the old lady, as well as the men and wives of the family, are all having dinner in the back hall in the evening.

What the old lady and the eldest lady mean is that you will meet your elders and family together when you arrive."

"Okay." Lin Zhixiu agreed, looking at the golden ring with a smile.

Jin Huan smiled and said, "When the time comes, Miss Three, you can just go to the back dining room when you arrive."

"Then, when should I go?"

Jin Huan looked at the flower-like girl in front of him, leaning lazily on the chaise longue, dragging his chin with one hand and playing with a jade carving in the other. The whole scene was like a painting, so beautiful...

…

Jin Huan pursed her lips and smiled, "Third Miss, our family dines at the You hour. But usually, the old man is in the front, waiting for the eldest man and the other men to come back and talk for a while before coming over! So they all arrive late.

You, just go on time, or later, it doesn't matter."

"Oh." Lin Zhixiu raised the object and looked at it, smiling inwardly. Today is the first day to meet everyone. There are so many elders here, so I'll pick a few... Will we serve it when we get there? It'll be later.

Go...let the elders wait for me?

There are so many uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, and you don’t even have to see Li’er?! Oh, you dug a hole for me as soon as I walked in? This eldest aunt is still as petty as I remember!

Lin Zhixiu turned to look at the girls packing their things nonchalantly, without looking at Jin Huan, and snorted. "Okay~~ I understand."

Jin Huan stood there and waited for a while, but he didn't see the third lady showing any intention of giving a reward... I couldn't believe it! She came to deliver a message on behalf of the eldest lady, and this was her first time here... and she didn't even give a reward?!

She deserves to be cheated by Madam!!

Jin Huan raised his face slightly, but the smile on his face disappeared. "Then Jin Huan will go back to Madam first." After saying that, he bowed slightly, turned around and walked away.

Lin Zhixiuli ignored him and said, "Dongyun, are the clothes I want to wear for dinner ready?"

Dongyun said softly, "Girl, you're ready."

Aunt Song is Dongyun's biological mother. She came up and said, "Girl, all the original belongings in this courtyard have been packed up and placed in the spare room next to it. Only part of our belongings have been taken out and they have not been completely dismantled."

It will take two days to set it up when it comes out."

"Yeah, don't worry. It's still your own thing, it looks pleasing to the eye." She looked at it.

"Of course, our belongings were all found by my wife... with great care!" said Aunt Song.

Yatou Beifei came over and whispered, "Miss, Jin Huan was unhappy because I didn't reward you. When I went out, I looked like a donkey." She imitated it, and then stuck out her tongue.

Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Haha, even if you reward your girl with a hundred taels of silver, she won't be soft when it's time to trick your girl. Even so, why bother to coax her to be happy? Girl, I, myself

As long as you are happy, you will be fine. If you have enough money, you can even buy us Beifei a big elbow to eat."

"It's just one hundred taels, and she's not so beautiful." The thin Bei Fei thought of his elbow and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

In fact, what kind of good food can't be eaten when you are with a young lady?

But she just loves to eat those fat skinned elbows.

Grandma Song thought of Beifei's thin and small figure, how he could fit an elbow into his belly without raising his head, and she laughed so hard that her hands shook.

Nan Yan, Bei Fei's sister, was also snickering while she was sorting out the lady's belongings. Xi Yu was humming there, "I don't know where all the food you eat has gone. You are so skinny..." Xi Yu is not tall.

She is tall, chubby, and has no waist. Beifei always laughs at her.

Lin Zhixiu changed into a light pink jacket with purple peonies embroidered on it, a pleated skirt of the same color, purple satin shoes. She put on a light pink coral hairpin and several pink pearl bracelets. The emerald lapel reflected the pink on her steps.

The skirt is particularly bright.

After getting dressed, she stood quietly in front of the mirror and stared at herself for a while. She was young, rich, delicate, gorgeous... and a little ignorant of the world. Well, this is what she wants to look like.

He turned to Dongyun and Beifei and said, "You two, come with me and walk around the garden first."

After leaving the courtyard gate, there is a wide passage with strange stones and flowers and plants... A few steps ahead is the garden, and turning north is today's dining hall.

To the south is my uncle's yard. To the east... is my father's original yard.

Her nose is sore and she can't go see it yet...

Sooner or later, she will take back her father's yard... Every inch of land is precious, so I will leave it empty!

Back then, her father told her a lot about the Lin family in his spare time.

It is quite difficult for the Lin family to have such a large yard in Beijing.

Her great-grandfather was a capable man with a well-off family and hard work. From a sixth-rank official in the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, he was promoted step by step. He bought a house and lived in a high-class family in the capital.

He only had two sons, and the eldest son was his grandfather, Mrs. Lin.

My father said that although my grandfather was not as talented as his younger brother, he was still the eldest son in the family and received most of his great-grandfather's resources and most of the Lin family's business.

When Mr. Lin was young, he was very talented and had a gentle personality. Although he did not have the ability to stand out, he was down-to-earth and well-liked.

When Mrs. Lin Huang was young, she was somewhat famous among the noble girls in the capital. She was good-looking and had a generous dowry.

The two of them were perfect for each other. During the honeymoon, you were hot and I was hot, and it was really good for a while.

It was only after I started to live a real life that I discovered that Mrs. Lin had a very varied temperament! She was willful, selfish, brutal, and she also loved to engage in some unknown rivalries.

Her mother-in-law didn't like her very much. However, the Huang family was really capable and gave birth to four boys and one girl. All of these five children, not to mention their character but just their appearance, were all outstanding.

Therefore, even though she was constantly in trouble, her parents-in-law and husband still treated her with great dignity.

Mr. Lin had six sons and one daughter in his name. He had four concubines, of which the fourth son and the fifth son came from two concubines respectively.

Lin Ji, the eldest son, has the most outstanding appearance. He has a slender figure, fair skin, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and white teeth. His smile is clean and sunny. Looking at him, he can forget all his troubles.

Lin Ji participated in the selection of the prince's reading companion when he was a child. With his handsome features, white teeth and red lips, he was wearing a blue school uniform. Standing among more than a hundred children of similar age, he looked like a little fairy boy and stood out.

.

I was lucky enough to be selected to be the companion of a prince, and we spent the whole day together. Others had to coax the prince. But the prince was infinitely patient with him, and would personally order and deliver him delicious food and drinks.

One serving.

As I grew older, I realized that Lin Ji's brain was not very smart. Faced with the prince's heavy academic work, he could not keep up, and it was a pity that he was reduced from a reading companion to a playmate.

The prince didn't dislike him at all. Even if it was a vase, it looked pretty when placed around him.

This prince was extremely lucky and had the support of noble people. After getting married at the age of seventeen, he was named the prince, and Lin followed the rising tide.

Later, when the prince came to the throne, he still had a strong affection for him and was given opportunities again and again. However, he found that Lin Ji was not a smart person and could not help him at all, so he had to give up.

But Lin Ji didn't have any serious problems, and he always seemed to be in high spirits as soon as everything went smoothly and without any problems. Among the old officials in the court who were bitter and hateful and looked disgusting, it was really a beautiful and beautiful scenery that was pleasing to the eye.

Every time when the emperor was in a state of distress, he would look at him and make a few amusing remarks. Then he would repeatedly fall into the confusion of: Why is this person so stupid despite being so smart... and then he would laugh out loud, and his mood would improve.

Much better.

His "effect" is so great, of course he continues to be favored, and when good things happen, the emperor thinks of him.

Lin Ji's official position was not low, but his actual power was not great. He did a lot of things such as welcoming people to and from people, eating and drinking, and securing matchmakers and pulling strings. Not to mention, he did an outstanding job.

Mrs. Lin carefully selected her wife Yuan for her eldest son. To say the least, Yuan is pretty good, with good background, looks, and abilities.

It's just that she married with admiration and excitement. After getting to know her husband truly, she felt that he was a bit...stupid. She was afraid that the family would be defeated in the future, so she wanted to turn the tide, but she overcorrected. Over the years, Yuan became a bit headstrong, stingy and careless.

Yuan gave birth to the Lin family's eldest grandson Lin Ge, eldest granddaughter Lin Zhifang and grandson Lin Qiao.

Among the six sons of Mr. Lin, the most intelligent and capable one is Lin Zhixiu's father, Lin Xu, the second son of the Lin family.

Lin Xu was born in the second place in the college entrance examination, had a big heart, and was experienced in doing things. Ordinarily, he should be the pillar of the Lin family. But he was not liked by Mrs. Lin, and the wife he married was not even in the eyes of Mrs. Lin.

Old Mrs. Lin started to act rudely and recklessly. Not long after Lin Xu got married, his wife An became pregnant. Old Mrs. Lin gave An his miscarriage and almost lost her life. Lin Xu

Worried about his wife, he had to work hard in the field for many years in wind and rain, and finally died in office.

The third oldest, Lin Hui, is also a direct descendant, and his temper follows the old lady's. He has a quiet temper, is stingy, thinks negatively and likes to keep personal grudges. The key is that he has no skills.

At first, he didn't like his third wife, Huang, and didn't understand why the old lady insisted on letting him marry her.

In her heart, Mrs. Huang disliked Lin Hui, and she married him for competition and revenge... So the relationship between the two of them was not good since they entered the family. Mrs. Huang gave birth to a son, Lin Tang, and a daughter, Lin Zhirong.

Lin Hui had an aunt whom he valued very much, who gave birth to a son, Lin Zhan, and daughters, Lin Zhifei and Lin Zhiying. Lin Zhan was fair and fat, and was well-educated. She was the only person who could give Lin Hui some good looks.

Huang, on the other hand, disliked Lin Hui and didn't even care much about Lin Fang and Lin Zhirong, whom he had a crush on.

Lin Yun, the fourth eldest child in the family, was born as a commoner.

His biological mother was a girl from Mrs. Lin's mother-in-law's house, and she was one of the thorns in Mrs. Lin's heart.

In particular, Lin Yun was good at school, won the Jinshi, and was a good official. Naturally, she became a thorn in the old lady's side, and she was severely suppressed.

There was no one to protect him, so forget about the troubles he had when he was young. He was clever and scheming. He knew that the old lady would definitely try to interfere with his marriage in the future, so he paid attention to it very early and secretly managed the old lady's work.

In the end, just like Mr. Lin, he jumped over the old lady and got married.

This time, the old lady hated her so much that Mrs. Lin Si's wife Yao came in. She really never had a good day.

Lin Yun originally wanted to follow the example of her second brother and go out to become an official. But after learning from the past, the old lady would never let him go. In order to disgust him, she pointed out an ugly girl in the house to him as a concubine. With the support of old lady Lin

, that aunt was in the Qinghuai Courtyard and was acting like a fool all day long. The old lady used this excuse to punish him and Yao.
