Chapter 001: Do it and cherish it
Lanzhou is in the southeast of the Great Wei Kingdom, facing the sea, facing the most famous river, so it has become an extremely prosperous port of the Great Wei Kingdom, the port is surrounded by many shops, the shouting is endless, the seagulls fly freely in the sky, and the salty smell and humidity brought by the sea breeze also blow from the sea, bringing water vapor and mist.
The people of Lanzhou are good at doing business, and there are several wealthy businessmen who are second to none in the country, and the most legendary and romantic is the Lin family in Lanzhou, the Lin family was originally a wealthy family, but a fire burned half of the family wealth, and also burned down the Lin family's head Lin Puli and his wife, leaving only a large family of heirs left unattended.
It stands to reason that the Lin family will not be defeated like this, but Lin Puling, the younger brother of Lin Puli, secretly Chen Cang at this time, put the Lin family's wealth under his own name, divided the family, and left only a yard for the heirs of that family.
The misfortune is not a single line, Lin Wan'er, the eldest lady of the Lin family, who originally had a marriage contract, was forcibly ruined by the man again, and kept saying that she wanted to get back the bride price, and only the ghost knows whether there is a so-called bride price.
The surviving children don't seem to be able to escape the tragic fate, the oldest is the eldest sister Lin Wan'er, sixteen years old, the youngest is still in infancy and doesn't even have a good name, this group of babies can be sold alive to be a subordinate is already very lucky, maybe death is the ultimate inevitable result.
Lin Wan'er, who escaped the fire, went crazy again at this juncture, often talking crazy, and when people pulled this eldest lady out of the ruins, her little face had been smoked black.
After Lin Wan'er woke up, she first saw the blue sky, and her first sentence was: "Who stole the ceiling of my house?" And they looked at each other.
Lin Wan'er looked around, and the second sentence she said was "Outer ear (where)", and everyone was inexplicable.
When Lin Wan'er saw the Lin family that was burned beyond recognition, she shook her head and smiled bitterly, and said, "This dream is really real. ”
Reaching out and pinching her face, Lin Wan'er frowned slightly in pain, and muttered, "It's not a dream." Then he stood in place and circled around a few times, seemed to suddenly realize, stretched out his hand and pointed at the people around him, shook his head and said: "Everyone is so dedicated, the costumes are so realistic, even the cameraman and the camera can't be seen." ”
After speaking, he walked up to Wang Qinian, the magistrate of Lanzhou, and pulled the other party's beard.
The Zhizhou adults shouted loudly: "Nonsense, nonsense." Then he threw himself away.
Lin Wan'er looked at the back of Lord Zhizhou, and said in a loud voice: "This old man, it's so pitiful, it's too deep into the play, too deep in the play!" ”
In the future, Lin Wan'er often had shocking behaviors, such as jumping up and down on the street with her hands behind her back all day long, and saying that she wanted to find a director. took the things from the store and didn't give money, and opened his mouth to say that he would find a screenwriter.
After that, it snowed in Lanzhou, and this snow seemed to be the first snow in the history of Shanzhou.
After the first snowfall, Lin Wan'er's illness also seemed to be cured, except for the occasional absurdity, her temperament and temperament also returned to normal.
It's just that the hands that can embroider a hundred birds and phoenixes before the fire are as hard as iron pestles, and the right hand that can write handsome Xiaokai can't even hold the brush steadily, and the easy-going and graceful character suddenly becomes a little absurd and out of place.
Just when everyone in Lanzhou was about to see the direction of the Lin family, Lin Wan'er actually adopted another infant child, but fortunately, the child had a priceless jade in his arms, and the Lin family seemed to be able to get out of the quagmire.
But Lin Wan'er resolutely refused to sell it, and some gangsters wanted to forcibly grab it, but Lin Wan'er chased her for eight streets with a broom, and since then Lin Wan'er has had the "name of the evil girl".
People who know jade go to the Lin family's courtyard to buy it, and Lin Wan'er said bitterly: "When the gangsters robbed the jade, the jade was broken. "I don't know if it's true or not, but I think it's true.
In addition to the adopted children, the Lin family has a total of eight children, the eldest sister Lin Wan'er, the second Lin Chengping, the third Lin Qianyi, the fourth Lin Hanlin, the fifth Lin Renzhong, the sixth Lin Bao, the adopted children and the eighth child who is still in infancy.
Lin Wan'er is troublesome, when she named it, she didn't seek the right time and place, more blessings and more longevity, and she didn't want to have a good fortune, the adopted child was called Lin Baoyu and the eighth was called Lin Yubao.
Later, Lin Wan'er became the pillar of the Lin family, and made several ordinary and accurate decisions, the fourteen-year-old second Lin Chengping enlisted in the army and went to the Northern Army of the Northern Town, resisting the Huns' right account royal court, and the monthly military salary can subsidize the family, the same twelve-year-old third Lin Qianyi and the fourth Lin Hanlin continued to study, and the ten-year-old fifth Lin Renzhong went to an oil shop at the Lanzhou Wharf as an apprentice, and Lin Wan'er sold tofu herself.
The sixth Lin Bao was born stupid and could only follow behind Lin Wan'er. The seventh and eighth children in the swaddling clothes were taken care of by Lin Wan'er.
The days passed in the changing seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, slipping between the fingers, and the time passed for four years. The Lin family staggered through Lin Wan'er's hard pull.
If you can survive the days, you can live, and it is good to live, as long as you live, you will still have the opportunity to turn around and wave your hand, and slap the faces of those bastards.
In the early morning, the east has just revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the sky is like oil-soaked paper, still hovering back and forth between translucent and transparent.
In a small courtyard in Lanzhou, Lin Wan'er walked out of the room wearing the half-used and half-new beige jacket, holding a wooden basin in her hand, and a pair of old cotton shoes on her feet, walked to the water tank in the small courtyard, stretched her waist, and took some hot air into her hands, and then scooped some cold water into the wooden basin, and gently hit the uncoated face with rouge with a bay of cold water overnight with both hands, and the water wet the bun, dispelling the sleepiness, and most of the people woke up.
It's the end of the year, and the weather is inevitably a little cold.
At this time, the door of another room was also opened, and a young man in a long robe walked out of it, and when he saw Lin Wan'er, he waved it lightly and said, "Sister, morning." ”
"The third child, morning." Lin Wan'er smiled, rolled up her sleeves, took care of her hair briefly, walked into the kitchen lightly, added some water to the pot, pulled out the fire fold with one hand, puffed out her mouth and blew a few times, "Teng", and the red flames jumped out like elves.
Lin Wan'er picked up a little hay with her other hand and licked the fire gently, and the fire instantly became larger, illuminating the entire kitchen, and also reflecting Lin Wan'er's face was a little crimson, which raised the fire.
Lin Wan'er gently pushed the bellows, and the firelight in the stove swayed back and forth along the air flow from the bellows, rising and low, like swinging. When the heat in the pot came up, Lin Wan'er lifted the lid of the pot, and the heat came to her face, making people can't help but hide their faces and wave their hands.
Lin Wan'er felt that the time was just right, and picked up the radish prepared last night from the vegetable basket.
The sound of a kitchen knife touching the board sounded softly, like a brisk song. After a while, a whole radish was cut into boxy pieces, all square.
At this time, the water in the pot was already boiling and bubbling. Lin Wan'er put three handfuls of noodles into the pot, and then poured the cut radish into the boiling water.
In between cooking noodles, Lin Wan'er took out a sausage from the basket hanging on the wall and gently broke it in the middle.
There was another "chattering" sound, and the sausage was cut evenly. Lin Wan'er thought about it and couldn't help sighing, broke the remaining half of the sausage from the middle, and cut it easily.
At this time, Lin Qianyi, the third child, walked into the kitchen and whispered to Lin Wan'er: "Eldest sister, I'll come." It's time for Dabao, Baoyu and Yubao to get up too. ”
Lin Wan'er gently wiped her hands on the apron in front of her and said, "Third child, slow down, be careful not to get burned." ”
After speaking, Lin Wan'er walked out of the kitchen, came to the bed in another room, and gently patted the buttocks of the two four-year-old children on the bed a few times: "Get up, get up." ”
The two children woke up in a daze, rubbed their eyes with their hands, got up angry, and said with a request: "Sister, you are the best, the best in the world, let us sleep for a while?" "As long as they are coquettish, the two little guys will definitely not call the eldest sister, but the sister.
Lin Wan'er reached out and pinched the faces of the two children, and said with a smile: "This little mouth is really high in sugar, the eldest sister will allow you two to sleep for a while, wait a minute, the eldest sister will dress you." ”
The two children in a daze hummed dimly, Lin Wan'er turned around and went to the next room, stood in front of the other bed, and found that there was no one on the bed. Lin Wan'er muttered to herself in a slightly surprised voice: "Hey, what about Dabaoren, why is it gone?" ”
Before he could say that, he heard a giggling sound from under the bed, and a huge figure crawled out from under the bed.
"So it's here." Lin Wan'er said in a rejuvenated tone, helping Dabao to stand up.
Dabao was born stupid, although he was strong, but his heart was like a child, he couldn't take care of himself, he couldn't even dress basically, he could only speak with words, and he couldn't connect sentences, and he would always crawl under the bed and hide from Lin Wan'er every morning. For this reason, Lin Wan'er specially laid a cushion under the bed to prevent Dabao from catching a cold.
Lin Wan'er helped Dabao cut his hair, dress and put on shoes.
At this time, the sunlight had already risen, shining into the room through the curtains, passing past Lin Wan'er's side, grazing the hair clinging to her sideburns, brushing the tip of her small nose, passing past and present lives, and then freezing in an instant, a moment of beauty, a glance of ten thousand years, an instant of eternity, disillusionment and emptiness.
Dabao looked at Lin Wan'er with a stupid smile, and said silly: "Eldest sister, it's so beautiful." ”
Dabao is not like four-year-old Baoyu and Yubao who use their mouths to please, but every sentence is sincere and true.
Lin Wan'er couldn't help but smile, finished tying the last button of Dabao's shirt, and then seriously pulled the collar corner of her clothes, and said, "It's still Dabao's eyes like a torch, and she knows that the eldest sister is naturally beautiful." The eldest sister is not an ordinary beauty, but a beauty like a fairy, a country and a city, a shy flower in the closed moon, a sinking fish and a goose, a pity, a pity...... No one knows the goods, and I'm an older leftover girl. In fact, Lin Wan'er is only twenty years old, and she is a young woman in that world, but she is an out-and-out young woman in this world.
Indeed, Lin Wan'er came from another world and gradually got used to the life in this world, Lin Wan'er began to want to escape, but in the end she stayed. In her previous life, she was an orphan and needed to stand on her own, but in this life she suddenly had so many brothers, and she suddenly became very frightened and satisfied, and the fear made her want to escape, and the satisfaction made her stay.
Lin Wan'er in her previous life had a bad history, and after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't figure out what dynasty she had crossed over, probably five dynasties and ten kingdoms, otherwise why hadn't she heard of Great Wei, hadn't heard of Lanzhou, and even the capital city had never heard of it.
Lin Wan'er never felt that she had crossed over, and she had a great mission on her shoulders, but she was just glad that she was not the illegitimate daughter of a famous family, she did not have any deep hatred and blood hatred and difficult choices related to ethics, and she did not have to be poisoned by her stepmother, eldest aunt, second aunt and the like, and she was far away from the splendid Shangjing City.
Although the days of this world are hard, they are warm, and what you have to do is very simple - ask for food and clothing.
Go with the wind in the past life, and cherish it in this life.
