The Lin family of Dongshan Houfu originally had a royal mansion in the capital, but it had not been inhabited for many years and had been abandoned for a long time.

Now that the master's house has returned, the minions who are responsible for guarding the empty house have finally become industrious, cleaning what should be cleaned, and cleaning up what should be cleaned up.

On the day when the people who arrived at the gate of the capital arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, the mansion seemed to have been uprooted from the messy grass and trees, and it was completely new.

Not only that, but the steward also came to the gate of the capital early to greet the master.

Dongshan Hou Lin Yangde is close to old age, but he is old and strong, and he was sent by the emperor to serve in Yunzhou that year. Now that he is old, he asked Emperor Tianlong for a decree and returned to Beijing with his family.

Returning to the familiar and unfamiliar capital, Lin Yangde was full of emotion. The capital has changed a lot, and the scenery outside the city gate tower has changed.

Now that I'm back, I'm ready to retire in the capital.

The steward of the Lin family respectfully welcomed him and the masters of the Lin family who came back in the car with the long queue back to the Hou Mansion. Across the brazier, brushing willow branches, and specially set off a firecracker outside the door to show joy.

However, Lin Yangde still frowned unhappily.

Although Lin Yangde didn't say a word, as long as he had a little brain, he would understand it by moving his toes.

The family returned to Beijing and entered the capital in advance, but Lin Qiantan, the granddaughter of the third room chief, did not wait to greet the elders!

A middle-aged woman wearing a lotus-style pomegranate dress and a peony bun is walking on the central axis road of the house with the support of her mother-in-law.

But I still have to ask someone to ask about the situation.

This person is Lin Qiantan's stepmother Yin Wei, the flat wife of the third room, and also the sister-in-law of Yin Qiang, the imperial concubine of the dynasty, and the tenacity of Prime Minister Zuo.

Although she is already thirty or seven, she is well maintained, and her smile is even more elegant and comfortable, she bowed her head and ordered a little maid who was casually beckoned, and asked her to inquire where Lin Qiantan went.

The maid naturally went to the Chu family, but after asking, she learned that the Chu family brothers and sisters happened to take Lin Qiantan to the White Horse Temple outside Beijing for the night and did not come back, Lin Qiantan did not hear that the people of the Lin family had arrived a day earlier than the notified time.

The maid of the Lin family had no choice but to go up the mountain again without stopping.

When the news arrived, Chu Jiang, an outsider who had nothing to do with it, was more anxious than Lin Qiantan, and it was only when he saw that Lin Qiantan had no intention of leaving immediately, so he quieted down and kept silent.

Lin Qiantan smiled soothingly: "Cousin, it rained last night, and the mountain road was slippery, let's walk slowly."

Lin Qiantan was telling the truth.

The night before yesterday there was a sudden burst of rain, and it was about to get dark, and it was too dangerous to descend the mountain, so they stayed overnight.

Get up early in the morning, although the sky is clear, but there are too many talcums on the ground, anyway, it's late, and it's not cost-effective to venture out if you are unlucky and have an accident.

Don't talk about others, just say that the little girl who came to report the news in front of her is not just a hole in her knee and leg.

Lin Qiantan said so, Chu gradually naturally had nothing to persuade, and as for Chu Ling, he didn't talk much.

After all, Lin Qiantan is living in the Chu family, and there is no reason to live in the Chu family all the time, and the Chu family brothers and sisters also want to take Lin Qiantan to relax while the Lin family has not arrived. But now that they knew that the Lin family had arrived, they naturally packed up and went down the mountain, but the road was indeed slow, and personal safety was the first priority.

When Lin Qiantan returned to the Lin family at dinner time on this day, she didn't even have time to take a look at the luggage from Yunzhou, so she went to the main room to greet the elders!

The family was gathering in the dining room to eat, and Lin Qiantan's appearance could be said to be embarrassing and abrupt. Lin Qiantan knew that she couldn't explain, and it wasn't if she didn't explain, so she simply didn't say anything, just waiting for the elders' instructions.

But to her surprise, her grandfather not only did not say anything in a hurry, but just told her to sit down and eat first!

Looking at the people around her, except for the people who looked up at her when she came, and were so silent that they were silently eating at this time, Lin Qiantan couldn't help but feel extremely strange.

When did the Lin family pay so much attention to the rules of eating and sleeping.

It was still the sister-in-law Lin Shuchen who seized the opportunity to tell her secretly, and Lin Yangde said on the way back to Beijing that Jingzhong is not a rural place like Yunzhou, and the family values the rules the most. It's just a matter of being presumptuous in a place like Yunzhou, and after entering Beijing, if anyone dares to make jokes, he will clean it up himself.

Lin Qiantan couldn't help but be sarcastic.

What's the use of cramming Buddha feet temporarily, but drawing a tiger is not an anti-dog.

The family had eaten at the main room, and after the meal, they talked again, and then they went back to their own small courtyards according to their respective houses. Lin Qiantan is a person from the third room, so she naturally followed Lin Quan and his wife out.

Along the way, Lin Quan and Yin Wei in front of them said a few words from time to time, and did not turn their heads to pay attention to Lin Qiantan's sisters and brothers. Until he arrived at the fork in the road, Lin Qiantan thought that he was about to pass the customs, but Lin Quan ordered without looking back, asking Lin Qiantan to follow him to the study.

"Yes, father." Lin Qiantan agreed very smoothly, but she didn't see Lin Bixiang's gloating eyes behind her.

She turned her back to Lin Bixiang, and Lin Bixiang couldn't find the killing intent in her eyes.

Lin Qiantan followed Lin Quan to the study, Yin Wei usually wanted to say something good for Lin Qiantan, it was okay if she didn't say it, the more she said, the heavier Lin Quan's anger became. But after all, Lin Quan knew how to control his emotions, and he didn't preach much, so he only asked Lin Qiantan to kneel in the study for two hours, and when the hour came, he was allowed to go back to sleep.

Lin Qiantan didn't say a word, knelt down on the hard stone brick floor in the middle of the study, and her brows didn't wrinkle. When Lin Quan saw this, he was satisfied and subsided some of his annoyance, and left with Yin Wei after a while.

Lin Qiantan was glad that she didn't ask Song to come with her - she glanced at Jinhe, who was kneeling outside the threshold, and her heart was warm. Jinhe also looked at her, wanting to say something, and saw that the person who was watching was still there, smashing it and smashing it, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Lin Quan doesn't like his eldest daughter, it's never a secret in the Lin family, and the minions have always been the best at stepping on the high and low, watching people cook, Lin Qian said in her heart, it's hard for Jinhe, to treat Mei from a young age with a master like herself, and she can still have no regrets. She is actually not good to her subordinates, especially Jinhe.

Just thinking about it, the window on the other side of the road was "squeaked" open, and Lin Ziye's face appeared in the crack. When the mother-in-law who was watching saw that it was him, she did not dare to shout. I saw that he didn't speak, just lifted his hand, and something flew in through the gap, and it just happened to snap and landed in front of Lin Qiantan.
