The Lin family and the Chu family are in-laws, but they don't even have to maintain their face, and it is still because of the stiffness caused by Chu Ling's incident back then.

Mrs. Dongshan Hou was unwell that year, and Lin Qiantan's maternal ancestor, who was still there at that time, brought a group of elders of the Chu clan to the Lin family to "encircle and suppress" the Shen family to seek an explanation for the youngest daughter. Lin Quan's character is not to be said, but he is very filial to his mother. It can be said that the relationship between Chu Ling and Lin Quan quickly slipped to the freezing point back then, and the Chu family was responsible.

But before that, it was Lin Quan who took the lead in provoking other women, who was both a flat wife and a concubine.

Very few people know that when Chu Ling married Lin Quan, he signed a "monogamous" guarantee with Lin Quan. Chu Ling has passed away, and Lin Qiantan has no way of knowing her mother's thoughts. But thinking with his toes, he can guess his father Lin Quan's thoughts.

When the newlywed Yan'er was married, coaxing a few kind words to make his wife happy and happy, it was regarded as fun. When it comes to such a high-stakes event as the battle for family inheritance, which man will care whether his wife likes it or not? The man's three wives and four concubines are a matter of course, and he originally thought it was a "letter of guarantee" for fun, but where would he think that the other party would take it seriously.

These things were told to her by the Song family when Lin Qiantan was a little older.

The Shen family did not invite the Chu family, no one thought it was strange, but it was better to say that if the Chu family was invited, it would be a strange thing.

The invitation was released, and most of the invited guests arrived as scheduled on the day of the banquet, and the Lin family was noisy and lively for a day, from dawn in the morning to nearly evening, and the entire mansion with the master and the slave was so tired that people were on their backs.

The banquet was generally smooth, and nothing special. If there is one, it is only that Lin Qiantan was "accidentally" soiled her skirt with the thick juice of vegetable soup.

Lin Bixiang herself has been absent from Beijing, but it does not prevent her from using the momentum of the Yin family to quickly recruit a few doglegs to do things for her, and only a few days after the Lin family returned to Beijing, she had her own group of sisters.

One of these people is the thick sauce of the Pollinqian sandalwood soup.

Lin Bixiang didn't deliberately target it this time, someone was busy currying favor and took the initiative to flatter. Lin Qiantan soiled her skirt and left the scene for a while, but she also made a friend because of this.

Wei Jiayin, the concubine of the Wei family, couldn't look down on the small tricks of those young ladies who couldn't get on the stage, and when Lin Qiantan was embarrassed, she "accidentally" spilled the cup and was also dirty, and then stood up and invited Lin Qiantan to go down with her to change clothes.

Lin Qiantan and Song recounted the situation during the day in a general way, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I still took advantage." The Wei family has a long family history, which is longer than the Chu family, compared to the Lin family, who has only gone through two or three generations of the Hou Mansion, is a nouveau riche with no foundation in front of others. Miss Wei took the initiative to make friends, but it was cheap.

The four great families of Qi, Qin, Wei and Chu all have a long history, and counting the Xiao family, the royal family of the Xia Dynasty that year, there has always been a saying of "five families" among the people. Don't look at the large number of people around Lin Bixiang, Wei Jiayin's weight alone is dozens of them. Now the imperial power is weakening the family year by year, for example, the Chu family is not as good as before, the people are thin, and the concubines are low-married. But the Wei family is still very prosperous.

One of the reasons is probably because of the precise investment of the Wei family, and there are daughters of the Wei family in the harem of Emperor Tianlong who are the emperor's favorite concubines.

Lin Qiantan was tired for a day, and she had just come out of the shower at this time, and the Song family was twisting her hair, and the two of them were talking like this from time to time.

Song said: "It's a good thing that Miss has nobles to help you."

Having said this, Lin Qiantan's hair was almost dry, and the two said something else, Song went out, and Lin Qiantan went to the table and sat down, pulled a book casually, and opened it to read.

The books piled up on the table are all newly added recently, but they are all read by Lin Qiantan when she followed the tenacity, and the girls in the room all looked at Lin Qiantan strangely, I don't know when their young lady started, she doesn't like female red, she likes to read. He took out a sum of money and appointed someone to buy it according to the title of the book.

When the Song family came in, they saw that instead of lying down to rest, Lin Qiantan was still looking down at a booklet that she didn't know what it was, and half-jokingly laughed at her: "Miss doesn't know a few words, why do you still look at those?" If you want to listen to the story, you can call a girl who knows how to read tomorrow...... "I'm tired all day, and it's time to sleep."

Lin Qiantan didn't know how to explain to the Song family.

As Dong Yong's wife, but in the years when she was dedicated to Yin Ren by her husband to "serve", Lin Qiantan was not only humiliated, but also learned a lot from Yin Ren, a ready-made erudite master. Yin and tenacity have a rich collection of books, literacy, painting, medical skills and even carving, all kinds of skills, most of which Lin Qiantan has learned is miscellaneous and shallow, not profound, but she has unconsciously developed the habit of insisting on reading.

Since her rebirth, Lin Qiantan has been busy adapting for a long time, so she naturally put aside her habits for a few years, and besides, she woke up halfway to Beijing at that time, and there was no place to do books......

Now that the Hou Mansion has returned to Beijing, his life has gradually stabilized, and some things should be picked up.

In addition to those rare books that are not easy to buy, some widely circulated classic books, there are many copies of them, as long as you are willing to spend a lot of money, you can get them.

Lin Qiantan glanced at "The Mean" in her hand, smiled helplessly, and finally decided not to deliberately explain. The fact that Huanyang was reborn is too weird, and the changes in a person are too great and easy to arouse suspicion. Anyway, no one in the room knew how to read, so they just let them think that she was pretending to be reading a book.

Seeing that the Song family couldn't move, he didn't say much, so he simply took the fan from Bishu's hand and stood behind Lin Qiantan to fan her.

Lin Qiantan continued to read for a while before closing the book and preparing to sleep. But when she passed by the vicinity of the makeup, she remembered again that she had almost forgotten the letter her mother had left for her again.

She hesitated, hesitated between going to bed and opening the letter, and finally walked over, took out the small wooden box locked in the dress, and opened it.

With a "creak", as the lid of the box was lifted, a heavy smell accumulated inside because the wooden box had not been touched for too long came out and hit Lin Qiantan's face.

The letter lying inside was as thick as Lin Qiantan's impression, Lin Qiantan carefully took it out, weighed the tightly sealed letter in his hand, and then tore open the seal.

The letter, which had been sealed for a long time, finally unfolded in front of Lin Qiantan, and the lines of graceful handwriting also jumped into Lin Qiantan's eyes.
