Chapter 883: The Lin Family
A group of people were in the middle of the courtyard, constantly polite to each other, and I kept hiding in the back of the whole courtyard during the whole process.
During their chat, my first task was to observe what each of them was doing.
must be based on the speculation of the plot, the next will definitely be the development of this Lin family house, if this is the case, first of all, it is necessary to understand how many people are in this Lin family house? Knowing the other side can win all battles.
I also went around and found that in the era of the Qing Dynasty, polygamy was simply common.
Let's talk about the biggest person in the Lin family's house, that is this old man, the old man has passed away now, and as soon as I entered the courtyard, I found a black coffin in the middle of the courtyard.
This coffin is two meters wide and three meters long, which can be described as a large family in ancient times to be able to afford this kind of thing, but next to the coffin is a portrait of the old man, in that era, basically all the photos are black and white, so whether it is a line or ordinary, if it is not at this scene, it is impossible to distinguish at all.
The old man was nearly 70 years old when he died, and we don't know what you and the white-eyed Taoist can know, this old man looks relatively obese, and the oval hair on his face is very scarce, all of which are silver and white hair.
The posthumous photo before his death is still taken with a smile on his face, which looks like he is amiable, and the frame of the entire posthumous photo is all made of gold, and the dragon and phoenix patterns are carved on it.
The big family is rich, and even the posthumous photos are so prosperous.
And there are three sons under the old man, of which the eldest son is the current head of the family, according to the ancient saying, if the old man dies, then the future inheritance will be inherited by the boss, except for the emperor, ordinary people are this rule, so the second and third basically have no opinions.
The eldest is the oldest here, actually 35 years old, but he is better maintained, he looks like he is in his early 30s, and this person is Lin Xiangyuan who received us in a white suit.
The second child is 26 years old, when he came out, he was dressed in linen and filial piety, wearing a cloth coat, when we came in, the second child never spoke, he knelt in front of his father's Guan Chen, his eyes were in a daze, although there were no tears on his face, but he could see the sadness of the other party, and the waves were constantly surging in his heart, giving me the feeling that this second child was the best for his father.
Although the eldest also has sadness on his face, he feels more like he is overjoyed, but after inheriting all the inheritance, there is a feeling that I belong to him, as for the third child, he is relatively young, at the age of 19.
According to the current situation, it should be a college student, but it was true in the Qing Dynasty era, before going to school in a distant place, and rushed back after hearing the bad news of his father, after coming here, there have been people around to ask questions, chatting is not hot, completely about the death of his father, and he doesn't care too much.
In the era of the Qing Dynasty, the bureaucracy was very serious, and people like the boss were the most popular with others, after all, they became the inheritors of the inheritance, and they would be the owners of the Lin family mansion in the future.
No one asks about the poor in the city, and the rich people don't stop in the mountains, that's what they say, so around the boss, there are basically a lot of people who come to mourn, and the boss is also the most tired, basically at the gate of the constant entertainment.
This second child looks average, although his family background is also from a wealthy family, but it is obvious that he has neither inherited an inheritance, nor is he favored by others, and he is alone in a sad daze, and he is motionless for the entire half an hour.
As a student, the third child was a student, and in that era, the so-called college students were completely different from the gold content of the current era, or it should be said that they were called champions.
The champion of this era is extremely valuable, and he is almost equal to an official, and he will definitely be promoted in the near future.
Although he is only a student now, it is only a matter of time before he becomes an official, so he is flattered by many people.
These three young people, the eldest is already married, and the wife he married is the daughter of a rich and noble family, listening to the current identity of the boss, even if he has three wives and two concubines now, it is a normal thing.
It's just that the boss said that the wife he married was a local tyrant on the rich side, so when they got married, it is said that they had made an agreement before.
Make an agreement that the boss must be single-minded for the rest of his life, otherwise he will divorce in the future, and he will not dare to marry a concubine if he insists on being the boss.
It is also called maintaining monogamy.
The second wife's wife is a village girl who sells tofu in the same village, which goes without saying, because the second child does not have family property and does not have any studies, I want to marry a girl from a big family, it is also like a dream, and in the end I can only love each other with one girl.
Although the third child is not married, he now has a girlfriend, and there are two of them.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were very few women studying, so even if they were barely admitted to university, this kind of degree was just a graduation certificate, which made people sound good, and the women who could go to school were all daughters.
And the third child happens to be the champion.
So it was quickly favored by female students.,I don't know how many female students there are at school.,Anyway, there are a total of two student girls who were brought home in the end.。
It's just that these two female students don't look as good as the second daughter-in-law, and the village girl is more pure, dressed up in flowers, just like the women in Fenglou.
It's an interesting society, and sometimes it's putting the cart before the horse.
In addition to the camp of this family, there is also an old lady, and this old lady is the wife of the old man.
The lord had five wives.
The old lady is now seriously ill in bed, and she was as beautiful as a flower back then, and she was very powerful, although the old lady had four young wives, but in the end they were all driven out of the house by the old lady, and now there is only one left.
Although the old lady is now bedridden, she is also very respected by others, but unfortunately I didn't see the old lady, after all, because of her advanced age, she has been refusing to come out of her room, and the Qing Dynasty room is very ruled, like a woman's room, you can't enter casually.
In addition to this family, there are a number of family members, but most of these employees are mobile, and the only one who is fixed is the slender butler standing at the door, who is said to have worked in the family since he was a teenager and is now a member of the family.
