As soon as Aunt Lin stepped into the door of the front yard, she heard the steward waiting there: "Big lady, you are here." ”

The steward is a little young, and he will be over thirty years, he was originally in the front yard to the big, second, and third housekeepers of the Lin Mansion, but fortunately, he has also done a lot of things in the past few years, and as soon as the old housekeepers go out, he is still handy at taking care of the Lin Mansion.

He is the nephew of Lin Shouyi, the great housekeeper of the house.

The two generations of old housekeepers in the Lin Mansion died of illness a few years ago, and the children and grandchildren of the old housekeeper have been freed from slavery and entered the newly opened new city of the Ren Dynasty as a small landlord.

Lin Shouyi's children and grandchildren are in Yizhou, and they haven't left yet.

However, Aunt Lin also knew that it would not be long before the fat father would also send Tian and silver away, and send Uncle Shouyi's descendants away.

The descendants of Shouyi are different from the children and grandchildren of the old housekeeper who broke away from the Lin Mansion, and they are also leaving, and the children and grandchildren of the old housekeeper are too capable, and it is a pity to be a slave. And Uncle Shouyi's older sons are just too unsuitable for the Lin family: the matter is handed over to them when they are small, and they can't live in slavery to their loyal hometown, and when they are older, they will have to get out of the basket, so it is better to let them go out and take another way.

But this nephew of Uncle Shouyi is good.

Aunt Lin is a little different in age from him, but the children of ancient times were in charge of the family early, especially the master of their Lin family, who was about to have a child in his fifties, and she was personally raised by her father, so she was already in charge.

She has seen the stewards a lot, and she has long been familiar with the stewards.

The two are considered to be the same generation, although there is a distinction between master and servant, but the Lin family is kind to these old people, and they usually look at them as half of the family, and they will not be too upright in front of them, so the steward called her, and stood very close to her in the position of the little girl, and whispered to her: "Bring two maids, and an old slave and two boys, I let the three wait at the second gate, and now I am in the hall with two maids." ”

"The fifth aunt hasn't been back for a long time, I'm afraid I'm homesick too, so I took a few more looks at home." He said again.

It means that he is not a person who comes to see people, but has a lot of thoughts about the Lin family.

Aunt Lin shook her head, didn't say anything, and said to the manager: "As soon as the spring ploughing is over, there will be more happy events in and outside the city, right?" ”

Yes, it is easy to do happy events when the farm is idle.

The steward looked down at her.

"If the aunts' families come and go, no matter how many come, don't stop you, listen to the money first, see how much they want, and then come to me ......"

"Yes." In the past, these people in the Lin Mansion were not seen, but since the Chinese New Year, the manager didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the head of the family, father and daughter, but this was not something he could ask, so he answered first.

"I'm going out on the 16th, I read the yellow calendar, it's a good day, that is, my father said that the family who went out with me should be picked, and you will let the head guard go to my father's trip in the evening."

"Yes, I'll let him know later."

As the two spoke, they entered the last guest hall in the front yard for entertaining guests, which was the first place where guests came to the Lin Mansion, and it would be cleaned up every day, and even the floor would be polished as bright as a mirror every day.

Aunt Lin went up to the porch, and the corners of her mouth were already smiling.

She has crooked eyebrows, and she has already smiled before she speaks, she looks like her mother, but unlike Mrs. Lin, who has a bit of bookish elegance, the eldest lady of the Lin family, is a person who smiles very warmly, and is very fresh and bright.

As soon as she entered, Fifth Aunt Lin also smiled, and wanted to get up, Aunt Lin took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Fifth Aunt, my niece is late." ”

She didn't say anything to excuse herself, she held the person's arm and asked him to sit down, and then stood in front of her and said with a smile: "Tea may be eaten?" ”

She went to touch the wall of the cup, turned around and said, "Little girl, go and change the cup of hot for your aunt." ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Lin to answer, she walked towards the main seat, and as soon as she sat down, she asked with a smile: "Is there something wrong with the fifth aunt coming today?" There is something to say, but there is nothing extraordinary, and my niece and nephew listen to your words. ”

As soon as Aunt Lin came in, she didn't let Lin Wugu have a place to speak, her master's momentum was fully revealed, and Lin Wugu didn't know how to talk to this junior for a while.

She was stunned, and said in her heart that the niece of the Lin family was becoming more and more like her ruthless father.

She raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Lin, and snorted softly in her heart.

This daughter's family looks like her mother, otherwise, Lin Baoshan would have been upside down with half of the Lin family's property, and no one might be willing to marry her. Let her say that the people who are so good are also blind.

The Lin family is a family of good deeds, and the city of Yuzhou gives alms every year, and the first thing the major temples want is to come to their homes to make fate; With natural disasters such as floods and droughts, the first thing the people think about is when the Lin family will open a warehouse to release grain.

But this good name has no direct benefit to the aunts of the Lin family who married out, although they heard that they were the daughters of the Lin family, and it was easy for their children to marry, but they really didn't bring out the gold and silver mountains from the Lin family, Lin Baoshan was also harsh on them, and borrowing some money from him was like asking for his life, and it was useless to go a few more times.

Lin Wugu didn't want to come, she thought that when Lin Baoshan died, it would be good to come over with the elders of the Lin family. Because no matter what you say, if everyone shares the Lin family's money, they will not skip her, the daughter of the Lin family.

But Lin Baoshan is not dead, she has spent nearly 10,000 taels of silver for her son's county test, most of the family has been emptied, and there are gifts and other things in the back, and she urgently needs silver taels.

Borrow, the Lin family will definitely not borrow. Last time, he only borrowed 50,000 taels, and Lin Baoshan, who had a big family, only lent them 5,000 taels. Lin Wugu swore never to enter the Lin family again to see her brother's face, but she had no choice but to bend over.

"Your father is still not well, and he can't see people?" Lin Wugu didn't want to see Lin Baoshan's brother who made her feel scared when she saw it, but she still had to ask.

"Yes, it's been a little unsafe these two days, and I can't see the wind." Aunt Lin looked at Fifth Aunt Lin apologetically, "But I'll tell my father when I go back, Fifth Aunt is worried and came to see him." ”

Lin Wugu was a little surprised, but she still bowed her head, "During the Chinese New Year, my family was busy, and I was a housekeeper, and the whole family had to watch it, so I couldn't spare any time. ”

"The fifth aunt has a heart."

"Speaking of which, as soon as this spring ploughing is over, the Lin family's holy boat will also go down the river to test the water next month, and I don't know if your father will take everyone to invite the holy boat to launch when he arrives?"

The land is fertile, thriving by the rains of heaven, and the fields are moistened by the irrigation of the river that flows day by day, and the dragon god who gives them prosperity.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the dragon boat race will be held to worship the dragon god, and every surname in the city of Yizhou offers a dragon boat invited back from the Dragon King Temple, like the Luo family has worshiped the phoenix dragon boat for generations, and the Lin family has a holy dragon boat.

A month before the Dragon Boat Festival, each family will invite their own boat to be launched, and then gather the children of the family to train in order to win the dragon head in the dragon boat race.

The dragon head is the first place, who won the first place, then this year the key to the Dragon King Temple is held in whose water, in the next year, if anyone wants to ask the Dragon King to do something, to enter the Dragon King Temple, the family has to open the door.

The dragon god is the god of the state, and everyone wants to hold the key closest to the god.

This event is also a major event in the state every year, and it is also a grand event in the state, when the time comes, there will be thousands of people around the city to flock to the city to watch this three-day, presided over by the state capital.

Of course, the Lin family attaches great importance to this kind of important event, and on April 1 of every year, Lin Baoshan represents the Lin family, with rich sacrifices and people with a little weight in the family, please go to the Lin family's holy boat to launch and select the strong sons of the family to welcome the competition on May 5.

But Aunt Lin was too nervous at the beginning of the year, and Aunt Lin didn't say it, she forgot about this big event.

It will be just over half a month and two days until April 1.

"Of course I will." Aunt Lin was slightly startled, her face was not obvious, and she smiled.

"That's ......" Lin Wugu nodded, and said casually: "Then can you stand up and worship the holy dragon at that time?" ”

Aunt Lin smiled and nodded, "Daddy will be fine by then, and the fifth aunt should not worry." ”

"That's good," Lin Wugu's face was relieved, and he said indifferently: "If it doesn't work, say hello to us in advance, you also know, your eldest cousin and they are also people with a lot of strength, they are all a family, just say a word in advance when the time comes." ”

Aunt Lin smiled and nodded, "That's right." ”

Aunt Lin didn't say much, and after saying a few words to Aunt Lin, she got up and asked to leave.

Aunt Lin sent her out, and when she wanted to get out of the door of this noble hall, Aunt Lin suddenly turned her head, looked at the quiet and atmospheric lobby behind her, and sighed: "The Luo family is rich in the world, but no one knows the wealth of the Lin family, I am afraid that they are all rich in the Jingtang." ”

Aunt Lin immediately knew why her father was not close to this aunt who was not the same mother as the two cousins......

In her case, if she listens to these words a lot, she wants to pinch the person who can bring disaster to the clan by opening her mouth.

"Fifth aunt," Aunt Lin didn't know how her fat father taught her the fifth aunt, and as soon as she heard this, she said unceremoniously: "A few polished floors and a few chairs made of black wood make you think that the Lin family is rich in Jingtang, have you ever been to the Luo family?" Oh, I haven't been there, I'm afraid you haven't been in the door of the Luo family for thirty years. The niece told you ......"

Aunt Lin's subordinates worked hard and firmly helped the aunt of the Lin family to walk out, "The floor tiles of the Luo family are made of jade, a piece of wooden bricks that top our family's hall, you must not say that the wealth of the Luo family has crossed the Jingtang in the past, or the Luo family will kill you, and your nephew will not be able to save you." ”

Aunt Lin whispered softly, and the door also walked out, she let go of Lin Wugu's hand, and said with a slight smile to Lin Wugu, who was angry at her, "Fifth Aunt be cautious." ”
