01 The sprout of hatred

Jianghuai four families, Lin Chu Wu Zhao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This generation of the Lin family is a well-deserved leader, the head of the family, Lin Yanxuan, in the year of the weak crown, and the second rank of the high school Jinshi. Later, he entered the Hanlin and awarded the Jishi, entered the imperial history platform, and was a self-appointed nobleman, quite the eyes of the regent, and was currently in the Lianghuai Salt Road, marrying the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. The fly in the ointment is that the Zhao family has never given birth, and the heirs under the knees are thin, only one son and two daughters are born.

However, the heirs are not many but fine, the son Lin Qichen is ten years old in the middle of the show, last year's autumn in the middle of the lift, only three years later in the spring of the first place, Tianjie boasted of officials, and glorified the ancestors.

Having such a son stands to reason is a blessing from the ancestors.

There is such a lone seedling at home, which one does not hold it and pet it.

But in the Lin family, this young man is ambitious, and the eldest young master who is a talented person is kneeling in the ancestral hall.

The cold words of my grandmother echoed in my ears: "Your sister is eighteen years old, and you are going to be raised in the middle of the year from Brother Chen, and the person who asks for marriage has broken through the threshold, which can be described as a family of women asking for a hundred families." Although the Zhao family is not as good as the Lin family, the foundation is not bad, my sister-in-law is a well-behaved and kind-hearted person, and she will not treat her niece lightly, so you can rest assured. ”

Peace of mind –

Lin Qichen almost bit his lip before he could hold back the rebellious words that almost broke out.

Why didn't he go to the southern prison (one south and one north) to study, not only to increase his knowledge, but also to make friends with many powerful children. It's not because I can't let go of my sister at home.

A big family, the most important face.

Lin Qichen always thought that his mother-in-law would at least not abuse his sister for his sake.

In order to let him study with peace of mind, his sister never told him why the second sister died. only said lightly: "Your second sister has leprosy, this disease came quickly, and the attack was ruthless. That's gone. ”

This time, he ignored his studies and ran back to his home.

It was to smell some crazy words that frightened him.

The former political envoy of Jiangnan Province, Lord Jia, has some unknown habits and has a strange temperament. At that time, my father was in the period of official transfer, and in order to please this deep-rooted Lord Jia, my mother quietly sent her second sister, who was only eight years old but was already a beauty.

This time, Xiang Xiaoyu died, and he never came back.

Externally, he died of illness.

Later, with the sponsorship of the regent and the accommodation of this Lord Jia, Lin Yanxuan sat in the three products and two Huai salt roads in the year of his establishment, which can be regarded as the most important position in the two Jianghuai roads.

The moment Lin Qichen knew the truth, his eyes were red and bloodshot.

I didn't read the sage book anymore, and I rushed home from the school almost like crazy. Fortunately, my sister, as always, was writing softly and quietly under the window, and he watched it for a long time, and then reluctantly left quietly.

The aunt left him, the second sister walked quietly, the father was dedicated to the official career, and this mother-in-law could no longer use the honey belly sword, and she was completely a snake and scorpion heart, and she was crazy.

collided with his mother-in-law and was punished and scolded, but he did not regret it.

It's just that Lin Qichen slowly lowered his eyes. He could hide in the academy, no matter how crazy the Zhao clan was, he wouldn't dare to kill the academy. But the elder sister in the family is fixed every morning and dusk, and she is punished for kneeling and training, and severely beaten.

Eighteen years have been the same, and it has never changed.

His life, as he grew up, slowly improved, his father valued him more and more, there were more and more people around him who flattered him, and his classmates treated him kind and friendly. There were even girls in twos and threes, with shy eyebrows and eyes, who gave him gifts.

He looked at the candle flame that burned wantonly, swallowed the grievances in his heart, and just endured the taste of hunger, which was really uncomfortable, as if he had returned to the most bitter childhood.

When Lin Qichen was ignorant, it was the most miserable day for the three of them.

My father is far away in the capital, and the whip is beyond his reach. The grandparents died early, and the Zhao family was in charge. Their life can be described as inferior to pigs and dogs, and it is very difficult to beg for food.

Life slowly got better after my aunt died of illness.

That year, he was six years old and his sister was ten years old.

Lin Qichen indulged in that sad and vague memory and couldn't extricate himself, until there was a burst of movement outside. The carved door reflected the gloomy light and shadow, and the candle flame in the ancestral hall trembled violently. He pricked up his ears and listened.

Outside the door was Lin Qixu, the maid and the bell.

"Miss, it's not that the old slave is ruthless. It's just that the young master said such ignorant words, and the lady was really sad. A piece of sincerity to you, how can you think that you have fed pigs and dogs. Mama Fang didn't lift her eyelids, and said bitterly.

was called a pig and dog by a minion, Lin Qixu didn't care, smiled, and said, "Mama is serious." In the end, the young master is the only incense of our Lin family, and when he is named on the gold list in the future, he will have a good future. You can't be starved in this place, and your ancestors will look at it. ”

Mama Fang was not embarrassed, but it was a routine for Madame to explain.

As a subordinate, she understands the situation of the Lin family better than anyone else, but begging for a life in the back house is not to look at the eyes of the master, let alone the face of the young master who has not dried up, but to look at the face of the lady. In the future, the young master has a great transformation, and it also depends on the face of the young grandmother, you are a young lady, you have to get married, and if you come back, you will be your aunt and grandmother.

Lin Qixu was accustomed to it, took out some broken silver from his sleeve, stuffed it into Mama Fang's hand, and said with a smile: "I know all the rules, Mama can be convenient." ”

Mama Fang pursed her lips, stopped Heling, and said lazily: "Miss, go and come back quickly, the young master has to kneel for a day and a night." ”

Madame didn't give her anything to eat, anyway, she was used to being hungry, and she wouldn't die for a day or a night.

What's more, if people have sisters, they won't be afraid of starvation.

"Good work." Lin Qixu's smile never reached the bottom of his eyes, and he was light and indifferent.

Mama Fang's presumptuous gaze wandered on Lin Qixu, she was the first person to be used by Madame's side, and she saw with her own eyes how Madame forced that prostitute to death, and how she used the second young lady to exchange for the wealth of the Lin family. It's a pity that it's obviously twins, why is my sister born ordinary, but my sister is stunning.

Mrs. also hated: "Qixu is dignified in life, unlike her sister and the slut, I look at her and be well-behaved, and I just say that the family is." Looking at it now, there are many hearts and eyes, the city is deep, and she is much more productive than her sister when she is young and she is arguing with me for her younger brother. ”

Eighteen-year-old good years, but the clothes are plain and simple, a light mist purple armor with a moon white pleated skirt, a silver phoenix hairpin inserted in the hair, looking at it is refreshing, graceful atmosphere. However, Mama Fang has almost never seen her wearing red and green, her clothes have always been low-key, her eyebrows are ordinary, and the shadow of the lord can be seen on her nose and lips, but she has this temperament, gentle and calm, and generous. Anyone who looks at it thinks that they are all beautiful girls, famous daughters, and have a refined temperament.

But when Mrs. Fan took her to meet guests, she was always full of praise, which was why Mrs. became more and more disgusted with the siblings.

"Sister." Lin Qichen slowly sat down on the futon, looking at Lin Qixu who was slowly coming, his voice was a little dry, with a coquettish meaning that neither of them had noticed.

Lin Qixu smelled every movement and stillness, she knelt on the Wufu futon with a smile, her expression was quiet, rubbing her stiff and painful legs for Lin Qichen, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Coming back in such a hurry? ”

Lin Qichen said a little loudly: "I want my sister to make osmanthus cake." ”

She couldn't help but be stunned: "The osmanthus hasn't bloomed yet." You little gluttonous cat. ”

This was naturally said to the mother-in-law who was eavesdropping outside the door, Lin Qichen quietly dipped his finger in the soup and wrote down "second sister" one by one. His voice seemed to contain a pound of lead, and he was almost choked with depression: "Sister, she didn't die of illness, did she?" ”

Lin Qixu stared at him and wrote these two words, his eyes sank, if he looked closely, he would find that her slender bone joints were almost transparent because they were clenched too tightly. She slowly turned around, staring at the ancestral ranks, looking around.

The hall of the ancestral hall of the Lin family is wide, the candle flame is bright, the wisps of sandalwood are diffused, the red sandalwood case of five zhang high and six zhang is lined with the ancestors ranking, there is a tall and straight column standing on the left and right sides of the front and back, there is a pair of golden silk nanmu plaques hanging on both sides, eight gilt characters are engraved on it, and it is inscribed by Emperor Chengqing himself:

There is a good thing to do, and the virtue is good.

She got up and took out three sandalwood sticks from under the incense table, borrowed a candle flame to light them, and bowed three times before she said expressionlessly: "Qichen, have you seen clearly?" ”

Lin Qixu pointed to the ancestral tablet and said quietly: "The Lin family has inherited thirteen generations, no accident, as the eldest grandson of the eldest house, you are the son of these fourteen generations." The glory and wealth of a family are earned by the struggle of all children and grandchildren. There is also the blood of your second sister in this, if it was not for the dredging of Lord Jia back then, my father might have been just a prefect, and he might still be struggling in Yushitai. You don't have to feel angry, sad, it's all the pain I experienced back then. ”

"The reason I didn't tell you should have guessed in your current mind." Lin Qixu glanced at his younger brother's eyes full of resentment and sadness, and then bent a very shallow arc, "You don't have to be ashamed of your father. The father was afraid that he would have acquiesced, otherwise he would have given the Zhao family a hundred dares, and he would never dare to spoil the Lin family's daughter like this. Actually, younger brother, you see, take an inconsequential concubine for an official fortune and prosper, and rise to the top. This deal, no matter how you look at it, is a good deal. ”

"But, Lin Qichen, listen up." Lin Qixu's voice slowly lowered, but it revealed a solemnity and determination that could not be resisted.

"My sister taught you to read and write, and protected you into the Lin family's genealogy to become the eldest son. Of course, there is my sister's selfishness in this, and I hope that you will be able to protect me and become my support in the future. Even, to avenge my aunt and sister. ”

Lin Qi Xu Dingding looked at his younger brother, watching him grow from a young baby to a handsome and upright young man, a heart immersed in hatred and pain finally had a little warmth, her smile was sincere and gentle, she straightened the corners of Lin Qichen's messy clothes due to long kneeling, and said with a smile: "But in my sister's heart, you are the most important, and any hatred is not as important as you." Qichen, in the future, if you can live a stable and happy life, don't be obsessed with this. If you are doing well, you have forgotten about it, and my sister does not blame you. ”

Lin Qichen was young at that time, looking at his sister who was like a fairy, and somehow an obsession rose in his heart.

That's how the world is, and that's what you say.
