When Uncle Lin was the only son in the family, he used to be very entangled in his name.

At that time, the uncle of the Lin family was still a single seedling, and his family had been passed down for several generations, and the birth of each generation was later than the next, so that his grandmother, the old Marquise Lin, once thought that she would not be able to see her grandson in her lifetime, and specially instructed her only son Lin Ruhai not to forget to tell her as soon as she had a child, so it is conceivable that when the Lin family was born, the Lin family was ecstatic.

As the only seedling in a thousand hectares, Mr. Lin is naturally pampered and grew up carefree, especially his grandmother, Mrs. Lin, who is simply responsive to this precious grandson, and Uncle Lin has never been able to get what he wants.

Except for one thing - his nickname.

Uncle Lin's nickname is "Xuan", which means peace and worry-free.

So the family called him Brother Xuan.

Uncle Lin couldn't be more dissatisfied with this - Xuan, Xuan, it sounds like a girl, he's a dignified man! Where does he look like a girl?

The reason why Lin Dagongzi was so angry was because when he went to a banquet, the son of a colleague of his father was speechless for a while, and said, "It's the same as my sister's name", because it involved female dependents, the son immediately changed the topic, but Uncle Lin firmly remembered it, and then seized the opportunity to ask his father Lin Ruhai to change his nickname.

Lin Ruhai was deeply puzzled by the request for his only son: "In the name of 'Xuan', it can be used by both men and women, why should it be changed?" ”

That's true, but I've never seen a boy with the word "Xuan" in his name! Even if it's a nickname, none of the adults who come and go have a brother's name like themselves with a word for girls!

Faced with his son's entanglement, Lin Ruhai dismissed it with a word - anyway, it's just a small name, and it's troublesome to change it, so take another big name when the time comes!

My father didn't work, so Uncle Lin ran to his mother Jia Min, and asked about the origin of his name, ready to beg his mother to give him another nickname, but this question only knew that his name was ready before he was born, and his mother lived with his grandmother before he left the cabinet, and there was a word "Xuan" in the place where he lived, so this nickname contained his mother's remembrance of his mother's grandmother・・・・・・・ so Uncle Lin's sentence "change your name" The words were choked in my throat, and I couldn't say anything.

It doesn't work with your parents, but it always works with your grandmother who loves you the most, right? Uncle Lin then ran to Mrs. Lin, pretending to be casual and complaining about his nickname, which sounded like a girl's family.

As a result, the old lady smiled: "It just sounds like a girl's family!" ”

Uncle Lin suddenly felt that the sky seemed to be falling.

In the end, the old lady next to the old lady told the little Uncle Lin: The people, because they are afraid that the child will die, they give the boy the name of a girl and raise it as a girl, so that the ghost who hooks the soul will not be able to find where the child is, and it is more prudent not only to take the name of a girl, but also to raise the boy as a girl, wear floral clothes and braids, and the family also calls him a sister, for example, the third sister of a certain family in the capital is actually a boy・・・・・・

And Uncle Lin has not given a big name for a long time, only a small name is also for this reason, and the name of the big name left his name with the ghost and entered the life and death book of the king of Hades, which is not good.

The old lady is old, and she is inevitably a little paranoid about her only grandson, and Lin Ruhai and his wife are left to her, so Uncle Lin's nickname is over.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, Lin Ruhai's big name for his son is "Xuan", the word Zixuan, Lin Ruhai's explanation is that it should be like this according to the family tree, so Uncle Lin's obsession with the name turned into resentment.

This grudge continued until his mother, Jia Min, became pregnant again.

As mentioned earlier, Uncle Lin's lineage has been passed down for several generations in the family, according to the explanation of the masters, the ancestors followed the founding emperor to fight the world and killed too many evils, and the retribution should be on the children and grandchildren, and after several generations, the Lin family itself is used to it, and Lin Zixuan's education since childhood is that you are the only child of the Lin family, and you will take on the responsibility of a son in the future, study and glorify your ancestors, and serve your parents for the rest of your life・・・・・・

Lin Zixuan grew up to be alone for so long, he didn't even have a cousin, and he saw that he would be able to marry and start a family in a few years, but at this time, a thunderbolt fell down - he, will he have one more brother and sister of his relatives?

Until he had a younger sister, Uncle Lin had a very unreal feeling, he had been an only son for many years, but once there was one more person in the family to share the favor of his parents with him, that feeling - a little sour, a little sweet, I don't know what to say.

Sister Lin was born in February on the Flower Dynasty Festival, when the swaddling clothes wrapped in the baby were taken by the father from the hands of the nursing mother and put into his arms, the young man who has always been known for his calmness in all lives was holding the newborn baby and scrambled - so small, so soft, the cry was weak, and the small fist could even grab his fingers, such a small baby, in the future, can really become a girl as tall and big as himself, delicate and delicate? It's hard to imagine!

Although it was a girl, Lin Ruhai was still very happy to worship his ancestors - Mrs. Lin has passed away for many years, and now if she knows that her only son now has both children and daughters, she will also be very happy.

Lin Zixuan was also very happy, but after a few days of being happy, the problem came.

The body of a newborn is very weak!

Daiyu's body is even weaker!

Maybe there is a reason for the advanced age of childbirth - Jia Min gave birth at this age, which is definitely "old", Daiyu's body is really unsatisfactory, very delicate, and she is sick at both ends in three days.

And when you are sick, you have to take medicine or even acupuncture.

Seeing that his young sister started taking medicine before she learned to eat, and she suffered terribly, Lin Zixuan's heart throbbed and hurt.

At this time, he began to understand a little why his parents chose the word "Xuan" when they gave him a nickname.

Hassle-free! Hassle-free! As a parent, you only want your children to have no worries!

If the arrival of his younger sister Daiyu only made Lin Zixuan begin to understand the mood of his parents, then the arrival of his third brother was a profound lesson to Lin Zixuan.

Sickness! Sickness! Sickness! Except for illness or sickness!

The third brother of the Lin family is even more delicate than his sister, he has been sick twice before the full moon, and in the next two years, major illnesses and small disasters continued, and he almost died when he was strict, and the light medicine continued, which almost made the whole family break their hearts and turn white.

When Jia Min was pregnant with her third brother, Lin Ruhai was concerned about her body and persuaded her not to have this child, it was enough for her children to have an eldest son, but Jia Min didn't listen, and insisted on giving birth to the third brother, giving birth to two children within three years, her body was extremely depleted, plus Daiyu and the third brother were both sick and difficult physiques, it was really difficult to have the energy to take care of him, and all kinds of burdens in the family were all on Lin Zixuan's shoulders.

This has also greatly exercised Lin Zixuan's ability - to assist his father in handling foreign affairs, to manage internal affairs on behalf of his mother, and to seize the time to study and make progress in addition to social exchanges, but in just a few years, even Jia Lian was surprised by the noble son who was not a dead student but did not have much practical experience.

That's right - Jia Lian, after the third brother fell seriously ill again, and Jia Min fell ill because of taking care of Daiyu and the third brother, Lin Zixuan's eldest uncle Jia Yu in the capital finally couldn't sit still, because he and his eldest son Jia Hu had official positions and couldn't go out of Beijing casually, Jia Yu sent his second son Jia Lian, who was just an idle post, to bring a letter from home and a large number of medicinal materials, and rushed to Yangzhou with an old lady doctor.

In Lin Zixuan's memory, the Jia family has always been the eldest uncle Jia Amnesty, since Daiyu was born, because he knew that his niece was weak, the Jia family sent a lot of medicinal supplements to the south every year, but it was the first time to send a doctor, and this is not an ordinary doctor, according to Jia Lian, it is an old lady doctor who told the old man to retire in the palace, with old qualifications, big shelves, and strange tempers.

So how did the uncle invite the old lady doctor and say that he moved the old man to go south? Lin Dagongzi was extremely curious.

Jia Lian told his cousin that about ten years ago, his father sent things to the old lady's family every year during the Chinese New Year, but he never sought treatment, every year, at the beginning, the old lady's family thought it was very strange and refused to accept it, and then he sent someone to the house to ask if there was anything that could serve the adult's family? My father only replied that no, so every year, this year, my father received a letter from my aunt and found that things were not good, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite him, but the old lady was relieved - you give me gifts every year, and I can't pay back such a big favor in vain, and now I can finally owe each other! - So I happily followed Jia Lian south, of course, in order to take care of the old man, the trip was a little slower, and I hoped that my aunt and uncle would forgive me・・・・・・・

Lin Zixuan asked again, didn't he say that the old lady had a strange temper, didn't he refuse his uncle's gift?

No matter how weird your temper is, you are still human, and if you are human, you have weaknesses, so what's so difficult? Just do what you like!

Jia Lian replied lightly, but Lin Zixuan has been taking care of the affairs inside and outside the family these days, and he knows that it is not easy under this understatement, not to mention anything else, what good things have not been seen by the old lady doctor in the palace? If you want to do it, even the old lady doctor will send someone to inquire about it, but I am afraid that I owe favors, and I am afraid that the things sent out are also worth a lot of money.

Therefore, he didn't ask again, but made a deep bow to his cousin, Jia Lian only turned sideways slightly, and accepted it safely - this was what he received for his father, and his father could afford this gift.

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai didn't expect Jia Amnesty's actions to be so fast, a few days ago they received a letter from Cao Cao saying that they would send someone to send a doctor over, and Jia Lian arrived with the doctor on the back foot, Jia Min took the letter from his brother and sister-in-law and mother, and listened to Jia Lian say that this time not only brought the old doctor, but also brought half of the rare medicinal materials that could be taken away at home, that is, the doctor prescribed a rare prescription and did not have to worry about the Qiao woman being difficult to cook without rice, the little cousin and the little cousin must be worry-free, aunt and take care of your body, etc., I couldn't help but teardrop, choked up:" It's all because I'm useless that my eldest brother, old lady and sister-in-law worry about me, and I also tired you from traveling thousands of miles to suffer. ”

Jia Lian said: "Auntie, don't say that, when we were at home, my father often taught us that brothers and sisters should watch over and help each other, my aunt worked hard for my cousin and cousin, and my nephew ran such a little way. ”

Jia Lian visited Jia Min, Lin Ruhai again, visited his sick cousin and cousin, and asked the old lady if he had adapted to life on the ship and whether the medicinal materials he brought had been properly placed - it was a life-saving thing, and he couldn't ignore it, and after such a circle, Jia Lian suddenly asked his cousin, had there ever been a crazy leper monk at home, or a strange Taoist priest who was lame?

Monk Taoist? Lin Zixuan shook his head and asked his cousin why is this asked? .

Jia Lian smiled brightly: Speaking of which, it's not a big deal, but before coming to Yangzhou, his father suddenly called him over and asked him to send a message to Cousin Lin by the way.

Lin Zixuan was very interested.

What kind of things can make my uncle write to him? Or is it about some monk and Taoist, it won't be to ask him to worship the Buddha and visit the Tao, right?

Buddha? Of course not!

Jia Yu asked his son to send a message to his nephew: The leper monk came to the door madly, chase it!

In Jia Lian's words, it is: If a crazy leper monk or a lame Taoist priest runs to your house and talks nonsense, you drive them out - no, fight, out, go!
