Chapter 3 The Lin Family
Before I walked into Wanghaiju, I smelled a very strong sandalwood fragrance.
Her grandmother Lin has been widowed for many years, and since the death of the old lady Gu, she has spent most of the year in the company of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha and the temple and Taoist temple. Even her second uncle's house next door, the northwest corner of Chengyuan, opened a small Buddhist hall for her.
"Is it Sister Tang?" Still far away, Lin had already seen her and beckoned to her.
Lin's face carried an indescribable love and peace, wearing a navy blue begonia lotus pattern folded branch gown, and the headdress on his hair was only a handful, looking very simple. Although his skin has aged and wrinkled, his eyes are still bright, and he sits on the main seat of the hall with a string of sandalwood beads in his hand.
Gu Yutang still vaguely remembers that this string of Buddhist beads was originally given to her by her grandmother before her mother left home, and she didn't see her mother wear it much, so how could it appear in Lin's hands now?
Gu Yutang hadn't walked to Lin's side yet, and Yuqiu, the eldest girl who was waiting beside Lin's, had already come over, and after saluting her, he brought her to Lin's side.
"Tang'er greets her grandmother! May my grandmother live a long and happy life. "Although the Gu family has never paid too much attention to the rules, and the relationship between the Lin family and her family is not too deep, no matter how she says it, she is her father's mother-in-law, and she is also the elder of the Gu family's room, no matter what, she should be respected and respected.
As soon as Gu Yutang saluted her, she smiled with satisfaction.
"Amitabha. Buddha blesses, can make my sister Tang safe and sound. A few days ago, I heard your mother go to your second aunt's house and say that you fell into the Jinming Pond and didn't wake up for three days and three nights. If it weren't for the blessing of the Buddha, I'm afraid you won't be able to wake up in this life. Lin said, one hand kept playing with the Buddha beads, and his mouth was reciting with words that he didn't know.
She really hoped that the Buddha would bless her and let her live this life again. Let her have the ability to protect her mother, let her mother and father be together in harmony for the rest of their lives, and her brother's dementia will be cured as soon as possible, so that she will be satisfied.
She doesn't know if this life will change the trajectory of some things because of her rebirth, maybe, maybe not, but since God gave her rebirth, it means that it is for her to prevent these things from happening, or to promote some things to happen.
She Gu Yutang is already a person who has died once, what a cow, a ghost, a snake god, a ghost, just come to her! If she said the word "afraid", it would not be Gu Yutang.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhang, who was on the second door outside, suddenly came to report and said, "Old lady, Feng Lao'an in the countryside of Pengpu sent someone to send you a message, saying that you will take a few brothers and sisters to the countryside as guests in a few days." Feng Lao'anren's nephew married the daughter of Lu Liangwei Qi last year, and said that you should also go down and follow Lehehe. ”
"I heard that the crystal grapes in my hometown are also ripe, and the Cai family in the second room used to send them up, this time, why not let Brother Bai take Sister Tang and Brother Li to go down to experience the fun of picking grapes by hand?" Mrs. Gu sat at the bottom of the Lin family, looked at Gu Yutang standing beside the Lin family, and said lightly.
Just when the Lin family was still thinking about this problem, Mama Liang, who was waiting beside the Lin family, whispered to the Lin family: "Brother Bai'er has been in the big master's mansion for a long time, and a few days ago, in front of Mr. Cai, the teacher, he personally tore up the "Analects", which made Mr. Cai angry on the spot and reprimanded Brother Bai in public. Bai Ge'er is your heart's meat! It is also the future pillar of our Gu family, or I will rely on the eldest wife and take Brother Bai and Sister Tang to the countryside to play for a few days. ”
Just when the Lin family was still hesitating whether to take Gu Yutang and them to the countryside, Mrs. Gu said again: "Something has happened in Zhuangzi these days, I have to go down to see it myself." Sister Tang'er's illness has just recovered, and I don't feel at ease when I put her alone in the house, so I ask the old lady to take Sister Tang back to the countryside together! ”
Mrs. Gu's words seemed to be pleading, and the Lin family couldn't refuse her in front of so many people. Although her relationship with Mrs. Gu is not very good, she is now the head of the Gu family after all, if she rejects her, I am afraid that she will not be very smooth as the head mother.
Why don't she be a favor, not only can let Mrs. Gu think of her good, but also find two people to be companions with Bai Ge'er.
Lin smiled, picked up a cup of tea next to him, the tea had not yet been swallowed, condensed in mid-air, and said, "In this case, I will take Sister Tang and Brother Li down together!" Since the separation, they probably haven't seen Grandmother Feng in the second room! It just so happens that I will also take them down to meet them, otherwise we will forget that we still have this relative. ”
The wind outside the window was whirring, although Gu Yutang was not standing by the window, he still heard the whirring wind outside the window, it was conceivable that the wind was raging outside. The spring breeze in March is rarely so big.
Driven by curiosity, she looked around, only to find that the decorations in the Wanghai Residence were rare, and there were bead curtains hanging everywhere, and those pearls were so large and full that she knew at a glance that they were not ordinary.
She grew up in her maternal grandparents in Kunming, and rarely saw her grandmother, Lin. I only know that although the Lin family is the only daughter of the Marquis of Dongchang, she did not grow up in Dongchang Mansion, when the people of the Marquis of Dongchang Mansion have not found herd, she is just a little girl herding cattle, if it is not for a chance to meet the old lady Gu who was chased and killed by the bandits, she hid the old lady Gu in her cellar and saved the life of the old lady Gu. Old lady Gu will not marry her, let alone find her biological parents for her.
Although the Lin family is the only daughter of the Marquis of Dongchang, the Marquis of Dongchang has been dead for so many years, and the ghost knows if the mark on the chest of the Lin family was imprinted by Mrs. Dongchanghou herself?
The current Dongchang Hou is Lin's younger brother on the surface, but secretly he doesn't recognize Lin's sister at all, he always feels that Lin is a thief who wants to rob his family property.
It turned out that Lin had taken his family to Xi'an three times to see his own brother, but his own brother turned Lin away three times and didn't want to see her at all. After this incident, the Lin family became a daily figure in many aristocratic circles in Xi'an, and some people also changed an opera based on this incident, called Beggar Finding Relatives.
As soon as this play came out, Lin couldn't sit still at all, dismantled his own stage, and threw himself into the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha as soon as he turned around.
In the early years, she always talked about the fact that she was the only daughter of the Marquis of Dongchang, and boasted about herself in the aristocratic circle of Chengjiang Mansion all day long, and looked down on those families who stepped into the aristocratic circle of Chengjiang because of their official donations.
Because it was time for dinner, Lin specially left them for dinner together before letting them go. As soon as Gu Yutang stepped out of Wanghaiju with his front foot, he saw Gu Yubai stepping in with his back foot, and Gu Yucheng was covered in mud, as if he had rolled in the mud.
When he entered, Gu Yubai seemed to be unable to see Gu Yutang, so he directly broke in, causing Gu Yutang to change into new clothes, and also brought some fresh mud with the fragrance of grass.
