Chapter 5: The First Meeting of Father and Daughter
There is a row of small rooms behind the main house of Wanxin Pavilion, where the maids live. When Lin Wan'er returned to Wanxin Pavilion, she directly bypassed the main house and came to the residence of Dong Lyho and Bai Zhi.
Dong Que and Bai Zhi live in a room, the room is not big, one on the left and one on the right, two beds, a small cabinet at the head of the bed, and a table in the middle. The two of them lay on the bed, and Haruka took care of them.
When I entered the door, I heard Jin Man say that the two of them were beaten by the board and were carried in. Lin Wan looked at them like this, and she didn't feel good in her heart, and secretly wanted to let the people who bully them also taste the taste of the board.
Seeing Lin Wan coming in, both of them had to get up, but Lin Wan hurriedly stopped: "Don't get up for the two of you, I'll come and see you and leave." ”
Lin Wan saw that their injuries were fine, and they took care of them well, and there should be no problem if the wounds did not become inflamed. So he instructed Haruka: "Haruka will put down her work in the past two days, take good care of her two sisters, and if the wound worsens, or if she has a fever, you must tell me." I'll ask the kitchen to make some food to replenish my body. ”
Bai Zhi's eyes were red, and she raised her upper body to salute Lin Wan, and said, "Thank you, Miss, for saving your life, it's the slaves and maids who didn't protect Miss, and the slaves and maids should ......be damned."
Lin Wan hurriedly stopped Bai Zhi from getting up and comforted: "You don't have to think about it too much, let's take care of your body first." I know in my heart that you are all good. It is I who have caused you to suffer. I'll go first, I'm here, you can't get a good rest. ”
After returning to the house, Lin Wan asked Luliu to bring some silver to the kitchen to arrange the food for the two of them in the past few days. She and Fluttershy go back to her room to rest, but she can't hold it anymore after being tired for most of the day. Although in his previous life, in order to catch up with the show, he could only sleep for two hours for several days in a row, but this body couldn't last even half a day.
As soon as they slept until Shen was in time, Willow and Fluttershy came over to help get dressed and go to the Hall of Compassion together. Usually for lunch, they went to the kitchen to get food and went back to each house to eat, but in the evening, they all went to Mrs. Lin's room and ate together as a family.
Walking in the garden-like yard, Lin Wan still felt like a dream, looking at the same scenes around her and on the set, and it seemed like she was filming. But this fresh air, this elegant pattern, and this natural scenery are beyond the layout of the set.
Lin Wan liked it a little, but he didn't dare to think of his family in his previous life......
Shake your head, look into the distance, and brace yourself to face what you should face now. Lin Wan has never had time to be sad, in the fast pace of modern times, she has long been accustomed to controlling her mind and doing what she should do.
When I arrived at the Mercy Hall, the door of the main room had been opened, and the maids were shuttling through it, busy. Mrs. Lin is still in the east wing, and Mrs. Tao is still sitting in the lower left, and Lin Qinglan and Lin Yunzhu are also around.
The aunts are not qualified to come to the main room for dinner, the eldest lady Lin Xiumei of Mrs. Tao's family and the second lady Lin Xiuyun born to Aunt Liu have also been married, and the fourth miss Lin Qingyu and the sixth miss Lin Yunju sat at the bottom, and there were three empty seats in front.
Mrs. Tao's eldest son, Lin Ruixin, and second son, Lin Ruinan, are studying in the outer courtyard, and they will have dinner with the eldest master before the unitary time.
Aunt Wen's third son, Lin Ruiqi, is studying in Guozijian, and is more valued by his father than the fourth brother Lin Ruichen, who is going to participate in the scientific examination this fall, and often follows his father to teach in person.
The fourth brother, Lin Ruichen, is both civil and military, and he has been passed down by his two uncles. Uncle Zhao Fengwu is the general of Pingnan who guarded the south, and returned to Shandong with his grandfather three years ago to guard filial piety, and after three months of filial piety, he was ordered by the emperor to return to the army to guard it. The second uncle, Zhao Fengwen, is a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, and he is still in his hometown with his grandfather. Although the three-year filial piety period has expired now, but when the emperor decrees them to return to Beijing to resume their duties, it will be half a year later, if the plot develops, they will receive the news of Zhao Liniang's death on the way back to Beijing, and so far, grandfather Zhao Zhengxiang is ill.
Lin Ruichen has been learning literature and martial arts with his two uncles since he was a child, and the Zhao family was in a high position at that time, and Lin Zhihuai was also happy to be close to Lin Ruichen's maternal grandfather's family. But the status of the Zhao family in Beijing has been much worse in recent years, and Lin Zhihuai has gradually become a little alienated from Zhao Liniang and the two children.
A year ago, Lin Ruichen was the champion of the martial arts examination and asked the emperor to go to the army for training, Lin Zhihuai was not optimistic about this matter, thinking that his sister-in-law could be promoted smoothly when he was on an errand in the Yulin Army. But Lin Ruichen privately invited Lin Wan'er to ask the Jade Concubine Niangniang, and finally the emperor secretly ordered Lin Ruichen to go to General Pingnan, and Mrs. Lin saw that General Zhao was taking care of her, so she agreed to the matter, but Lin Zhihuai was even more dissatisfied with Lin Ruichen from then on, and paid more attention to his concubine Lin Ruiqi.
Lin Wan'er combed through the people in the family and found that among the female dependents, she was the latest. Hurriedly stepped forward to salute Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Tao, and said, "Say hello to grandmother and aunt, Wan'er is late." ”
Old Madam Lin nodded, and Mrs. Tao said gently: "It's not too late, it's not too late, sit down and rest for a while, seeing that you are in such a hurry, your little face is red." ”
"Wan'er Xie grandmother and aunt are not to blame. Lin Wan walked directly to the first seat on the right and sat down, she was a concubine, so she should sit in this seat. Lin Qinglan and Lin Yunzhu have always been unwilling to sit in the seat behind her, and like to sit on the low stool next to Mrs. Lin.
After sitting for a while, I listened to the report from the maid at the door: "The eldest master, the eldest son, and the second son are here." ”
The curtain of the door was raised, and a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old, with a slightly erect belly, and a little old, walked in, followed by two teenagers, one slender and somewhat thin, and the other was medium and childish. But the facial features of the three of them are all superior, and their complexions are also very white, so I think the deceased Old Man Lin should also look very good.
Mrs. Tao and the five young ladies hurriedly got up and stood aside, and when the three of them stepped forward to salute the old lady, the eldest old man Lin Zhiyi sat on the left side of the seat where Mrs. Tao sat just now, and Mrs. Tao sat on the second seat beside him. The two sons saluted their mothers, and the five young ladies came forward to salute the eldest master. The seven children all stood in their seats and listened to the elders.
Lin Wan was a little tired of these red tape and polite words, but she would not show it with her professional ethics, and she performed very well.
The eldest master, Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Lin talked about the trivial matters in the outer courtyard. The eldest lord has no official position, and is in charge of the Zhuangzi and rice grain business in the house. The state advocates the development of agriculture, so it is not easy for the eunuchs to do other businesses, and doing some agricultural products can be regarded as supporting the country.
The two rooms of the Lin family are not separated, and the affairs of the inner courtyard are now temporarily managed by Aunt Qin, and the affairs of the outer courtyard are managed by the eldest master. Because Zhao Liniang is indisputable, Aunt Qin can be a person, and the eldest master has been managing the affairs of the outer courtyard very well, so there is nothing major happening in the Lin family for the time being.
But Lin Wan knew that when the princes grew up in a few years and began to compete for the throne, the court would not be calm. And the inner courtyard, because of Lin Wan's appearance, will no longer allow Zhao Liniang to die silently, and Aunt Qin will not be able to help her into the main room with the support of the Qin family.
"The second master, the third son has arrived. Yahuan reported.
Lin Wan raised his eyes and saw that a tall man in his thirties walked in, with a somewhat similar look between his eyebrows and his appearance. No wonder he can be reused by the emperor, appreciated by his grandfather, and admired by his mother! Although the third son who followed him was good-looking, he was also compared to his father.
Another salute. Lin Wan'er didn't say a word to her father from beginning to end, and Lin Zhihuai only waved his hand to greet the juniors, and a nod was considered a waiver. Lin Zhihuai didn't pay much attention to Lin Wan'er, the daughter who had just recovered from a serious illness, but when she saluted, he looked at her a few more times and nodded expressionlessly, Lin Wan didn't want to attract his attention, and retreated to his position after saluting in a proper manner.
Aunt Qin Shi Shiran walked in and smiled at Old Madam Lin and said, "Old Madam, it's time to eat." ”
So a group of people hugged the old lady to the main hall, which was divided into two rooms, the inner and outer rooms, the women ate in the inner room, and the men ate in the outer room.
Sit down in priority and priority, Aunt Qin stood aside and served the old lady with food, very well-behaved, very good at pleasing her, and the old lady was very satisfied. Lin Wan felt a little headache, Zhao Liniang was definitely not as good as Aunt Qin in pleasing the old lady.
After the meal, the eldest lord and the eldest lady went back to their courtyard in the west. Lin Zhihuai and Aunt Qin went to Aunt Qin's courtyard in the east. Several sons are older and live in the outer courtyard.
Lin Wan took the two maids to see her mother in the Autumn Garden. When Lin Wan brings up the topic of Aunt Qin, Fluttershy starts chattering again, saying that the lord and his wife used to live in the main courtyard to the east, the "Love Garden", and later the lady went to the Autumn Garden to recuperate, and the master always lived in Aunt Qin's courtyard. also expanded the yard for Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin's maiden name is Qin Yiling, and the lord gave her yard the name "Yilin Garden", and also mentioned the word himself.
Fluttershy speaks angrily, Lin Wan's face doesn't change, and Green Willow pays attention to her surroundings, pausing for a moment when someone occasionally passes by.
By the time she arrived at the Autumn Garden, Zhao Liniang had already fallen asleep. Lin Wan only glanced at the door and retreated, the eldest girl Huan Cuihuan was guarding in the courtyard, and Lin Wan and Chen's mother were talking in the west wing. Chen's mother said that Zhao Liniang only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge at night, and stopped the medicine according to Lin Wan's instructions, and waited for the royal doctor to come to see it tomorrow.
Lin Wan nodded and said, "Well, Lao Chen's mother has taken care of it, and I will come over with Imperial Doctor Wang tomorrow." Don't trust the untrustworthy maids to stay in the house to serve, I don't know if there are enough people?"
"There are enough people, and Aunt Chen often comes to help. Mother Chen looked at Lin Wan'er's face when she spoke, because she was afraid that Lin Wan'er would not believe Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen is honest and responsible, and she also has a deep relationship with Zhao Liniang, but Lin Wan is still afraid that she will be used. After thinking about it, he said: "Mother Chen, of course Aunt Chen is credible, but it is also necessary to prevent her from being used, please pay more attention to Mother Chen." ”
After explaining, Lin Wan walked back with Fluttershy and Green Willow, thinking that after walking a few times a day, she was about to reach her goal of exercising.
