Chapter 1 The First Arrival in the World
In the tenth year of the National Day calendar in Nanling, there were many servants in an antique mansion who kept running in and out.
"Quick...... Fast...... Madame is about to give birth, please mother-in-law, hurry up. ”
A little girl in a green shirt of eighteen or nineteen shouted to an old woman who looked like a midwife.
"Good...... Good ......"
The old woman then complied, and she trotted into the courtyard of the mansion after the little maid in green clothes.
"Has the midwife arrived? Why is it so slow? ”
In the hall, a handsome man in a satin brocade robe was nervous and anxiously wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, as if he would not be able to bear it in the next moment.
"Master, the midwife has arrived, Xiaocui has come back with the midwife, and she is about to go to Madame's room. ”
A butler dressed in servant's clothes was as anxious as the man.
"Good...... Good...... It's good to arrive, it's good to arrive. “
The man in the satin brocade robe's face softened slightly, and he seemed to feel a lot more relieved when he heard the servant's words.
"Boom...... Sound...... ......At this time, the sky outside was thundering and thundering, pouring rain, as if it would never end, the wind was still roaring, the sky was dark, and from time to time there were thunder and lightning flashes, and the weather was cloudy with a slight terror.
In one of the houses of the mansion, a woman was lying on a bed with antique colored curtains, sweating profusely on her body and head, as if she was in great pain and felt like she was about to die in the next moment.
"Hold on any longer, Madame, soon, soon to give birth, hold on again. ”
The midwife kept shouting cheering for the woman, and the little maid next to her also shouted with her.
After a while, just listen to the "ah...... Ah......h
"Birth, birth," cried the midwife beaming and excited, "Madame has finally given birth." “
Lin Mansion is located in Hongqing City in the east of Nanling Country, and Hongqing City is a very lively big city, with a population of 45 million people in the city, accounting for one-fortieth of the area of Nanling Country, which is very huge.
Walking in the city, you can see all kinds of street shops, small merchants and hawkers, abound, and the area of the Lin Mansion is one-thirtieth of Hongqing City, you can imagine how big the Lin Mansion is, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city within the city.
The Lin family is one of the five major families of Nanling Country, and its industries are also spread over various industries, including shipping, land transportation industry, manufacturing of various daily necessities, textile industry, various business names, shops, pawnshops, etc.
The other four great families of Nanling Country are also in Hongqing City, and the five major families have cooperation with each other, which is intertwined, and it can be said that all the industries of Nanling Country are monopolized in the hands of these five families, and the Lin family is the most of these five families, so it is conceivable what kind of powerful and rich family the Lin family is.
In the courtyard of the Lin Mansion, in the house of the woman who had just given birth, the midwife held a small hug made of fine silk cloth with gold trim in her hand, and the body of the little doll that had just been scrubbed was carefully wrapped.
"You take good care of Madame here, Madame is very weak now, you must take care of it, and you must not slack off at all. ”
The midwife didn't dare to slack off, and seriously explained to the little maids in the room.
"Yes, we all know it, mother-in-law can go with confidence. ”
The little maids' faces were solemn, as if they were very serious, for fear of a little mistake, and replied to the midwife's words.
"Okay, I'll go, I'll take the little doll and show it to the master. “
Then, the midwife picked up the wrapped doll and walked out of the house.
After leaving the house, the midwife carefully carried the little doll into a more splendid and luxuriously decorated room.
"Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, the master has won a daughter, white and tender, and it is attractive to people when you look at it. “
The midwife walked respectfully towards Master Lin with the little doll on her face with a smile on her face.
Master Lin looked at the midwife who walked into the house and heard what the midwife had just said, and his face was suddenly full of smiles and joy.
"Good...... Good...... , Steward Li quickly rewarded the midwife. “
"Granny Mo has taken it, this is the reward money that our master gave you, you have taken it. ”
Steward Li, who was dressed as a servant, took the money bag in his hand and handed it to the midwife with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you, sir. ”
Granny Mo reached out and took the money bag while weighing it with her hand, about touching the weight, and her face was simply smiling.
"It's really worthy of a family, it's generous, and even the bag containing the money is gold. If I bring my daughter-in-law, who has just finished giving birth, to be a wet nurse and take good care of the young lady, will I be able to get even greater benefits?"
She looked at the money bag with golden thread, her eyes kept rolling, and she thought wildly in her heart.
"Master, my daughter-in-law has just given birth, and the milk is sufficient and good, why don't you be a wet nurse for Miss?"
Granny Mo stepped forward and bowed her waist, looking at Master Lin with a smile, she could make people laugh.
"It's okay, then let your daughter-in-law try it, if you take care of it, you will have a reward. ”
As soon as Mr. Lin got a daughter, he was in a good mood and accepted the midwife.
"Okay sir, tomorrow I will let my daughter-in-law come over to take care of Miss. ”
Master Lin smiled and nodded in agreement.
After speaking, Master Lin looked at the little baby girl in Granny Mo's arms, and saw that something seemed to be looming between the little girl's eyebrows, and it seemed that there was nothing when she looked closely.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Master Lin thought to himself and looked carefully.
"It's strange, why is it still the same? It seems that there is still something, but why can't I see it again? Hey, forget it, maybe I'm dazzled. “
Without thinking too much, he looked at the little baby girl and his indescribable joy welled up in his heart.
At this moment, Steward Li gently walked up to Master Lin's side, as if he was afraid of disturbing the new lady, and whispered: "Master, the new lady doesn't have a name yet, does the old lady want the ancestor to name it, or does he want to name it himself?" Or do you still want to discuss it with Mrs.?"
"The ancestor went to the Buddhist temple to burn incense, and it will take a month to come back, so I will discuss it with my wife first, and then tell the ancestor. Master Lin thought for a while and said.
"Sir, Madame has woken up. As he was talking, Xiaocui, the eldest girl next to Madame, ran in and happily told Master Lin.
After hearing this, Master Lin hurriedly walked towards the delivery room of the lady with the little girl in his arms.
After entering the room, Mr. Lin looked at the bed with colored curtains, and saw Mrs. Lin looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Master, bring the child over and let me see," Mrs. Lin's tone was full of smiles.
Mr. Lin walked to Mrs. Lin's bed with the child in his arms and sat down sideways, because he was sideways, so the back of the child's head was just facing Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin was stunned when she saw the back of the child's head, stopped for a few seconds, and thought: "Am I wrong?" Why does it seem that there is a flower in the back of the child's head?"
Mrs. Lin subconsciously closed her eyes, shook her head, and then reopened her eyes to look at the back of the child's head.
"Hey, I'm dazzled, I'm really scared? nothing. Thinking about it, Mrs. Lin reached out and took the little baby girl in Master Lin's arms.
"Master, you see, our child's skin is so fair, her eyelashes are really long, so beautiful, just like the blooming snow lotus, people are reluctant to leave their eyes at a glance. “
"Yes, with Madame so beautiful, can our children not be beautiful? Madame is really hard. Master Lin smiled and said softly.
After Mrs. Lin heard what Master Lin said, she leaned on Master Lin's shoulder coquettishly, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Master, what should we name our daughter?" asked Mrs. Lin in a gentle tone.
"Madam, what do you think of the name Lin Hongwan?" Master Lin thought deeply and said.
"Well, Lin Hongwan, yes, it's a good name, our daughter is called Lin Hongwan. ”
After hearing this, Master Lin hugged his wife in his arms and had a happy face...... Ha...... Ha...... laughed.
"Master, Granny Mo has already sent me away, and before leaving, Granny Mo said that her daughter-in-law Hongru will come to take care of the new young lady tomorrow. ”
When Master Lin and Mrs. Lin were immersed in the sweetness of having just got a girl, Steward Li walked in from outside the door.
"I know, you go and let someone clean up Miss's yard in a while, and let Miss's nurse Zi Hongru live in the wing room in the yard. ”
"Yes, sir. “
Steward Li replied respectfully, and then he walked out of the house and into the courtyard.
This night was destined to be an extraordinary night, just as the lightning and thunder, the thunder and lightning and the wind roared.
Under the dark sky, thousands of miles away, on a Leizi Mountain, just when the little lady of the Lin family was born, in a cave in Leizi Mountain, an old man in purple sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
"Crack...... ......Thunder and lightning resounded in the mountains, and the old man in purple suddenly opened his eyes, stared roundly, and said in disbelief: "This ...... This...... Is this about to change the sky?"
"Master, what's wrong with you, this ...... This...... The sky is scary, what's going on?"
At this time, a young boy in white dressed very plainly at the entrance of the cave ran in in a panic and ran in front of the old man in purple, his face was pale, and he seemed to be very scared.
"This day is going to change, Long'er, go out of the mountain with Master. The old man in purple said with a serious face.
"It's such a scary day, thunder and lightning and downpour, do you still want to go out of the mountain after this day changes?"
Although the boy in white thought so in his heart, he also obediently listened to the master's words, followed closely behind the master, and the two walked towards the outside of the cave entrance.
"Master, where are we going? ”
When he walked out of the mouth of the cave, the white-clothed boy Luo asked hesitantly.
"Snow lotus opens, looking up at the starry sky, laughing at the sky of the world, there is a vision in the sky, and it is natural to go in the direction of that vision. ”
After hearing this, the boy in white stood in place and stretched out his hand to scratch the back of his head, bowed his head with a suspicious face, and thought: "Master is so strange today, he actually said something that people don't understand, hey, if you don't understand, don't think about it first, it's important to follow the master first." So, the boy in white followed the master and walked forward.
Also on this night, in a seemingly very simple small courtyard in Hongqing City, Granny Mo looked at her daughter-in-law Hongru beside her with a smile on her face, "Daughter-in-law, the Lin family, Master Lin's daughter was born, I want to find a better nurse, it just so happens that you have only given birth to Snow Lotus for three days, and the milk is sufficient and good, I have already told Master Lin, and I will let you be Miss Lin's nurse tomorrow." ”
"Mother, I just gave birth to Snow Lotus, and my body hasn't been raised yet, will you let me be a wet nurse?"
Hongru's eyes widened after hearing this, and she looked at Granny Mo in disbelief.
"Lin family, what kind of family is that, that's a family, being able to find you to be Miss Lin's nurse is a blessing you cultivated in your previous life, don't know what to do. ”
Granny Mo glared at Hongru with disdain and impatience on her face.
After hearing this, Hongru looked at her husband Mo Liansheng with a face full of grievances, hoping that her husband could help her speak, but she was disappointed, Mo Liansheng didn't dare to look at Hongru, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Mother, daughter-in-law knows, I will go to Lin's house with my mother tomorrow. ”
Hongru lowered her head in resignation, and twisted her head to the side without daring to refute.
"Good daughter-in-law, if you go to the Lin Mansion, as long as you take good care of that Miss Lin, what do a rich and noble family like the Lin family want, when we climb the Lin family, we will have your own benefits at that time, and even our family will be wiped out." ”
Seeing that her daughter-in-law agreed, Granny Mo patted her shoulder with a smile and comforted her.
