Volume I, Chapter 48
The twilight is dim, and the remnant sun is like blood
The sunset in the sky, like a gold-trimmed sunset, was round at this time, shining brightly, and the dazzling eye mask was like a dream.
The sun shone obliquely down from the west, shrouding a golden mansion on the ground in a blur of rose.
"Please, just let me in, today is Old Lady Lin's birthday, I'll put down the gift and leave." At the gate of the mansion, a young man pleaded bitterly with a woman of about forty or fifty years.
The woman's face was snarky, she glanced at the gift in the man's hand with disdain, and said contemptuously: "Gift? Just this broken painting?
The man was embarrassed for a while, but still said gently: As the saying goes, the gift is no longer precious, but the heart, and this painting took me nearly a month to complete.
"Come on, don't talk to me about those who don't have it, who doesn't know that you want to send this broken painting to see the eldest lady of the Lin family?" The woman clasped her hands on her breast, with a straight face, and was extremely domineering.
The man seemed to have been poked in the heart, and hung his head in embarrassment.
The woman snorted coldly, turned and walked towards the door. Seeing this, the man hurriedly followed, pulled the woman's sleeve, and continued to beg: You just let me in, I just went to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Lin.
Madame still sneered: Just like you, you still want to enter our Lin Mansion, don't dream for a thousand years?
As he spoke, he swung his hand hard, and the man's feet were just half a step away, and the whole person stumbled, screamed, and his whole body fell back, but fortunately he was caught by a strong arm.
The man stood firm and turned around, only to see that he was caught by a man in a blue uniform, followed by two other men and a woman, all of whom were not ordinary people.
The man didn't have time to speculate on the identities of the four people, so he hurriedly thanked Xiao Yu: Thank you for your help.
Xiao Yu smiled lightly: It's okay, it's a gesture...
The woman before was not the slightest bit sorry, snorted, walked to the door with her head high, and just touched the brown lacquered wooden door with her hand, but was stopped by Ji Shan: Wait...
The woman froze and turned slowly, looking proud.
Qi Shan glanced at her, walked forward slowly, and asked, "You treat guests like this?"
The woman didn't even look at Ji Shan, and said mockingly: "Guest? He is a poor scholar who sells paintings, and he is also worthy of being called a guest?
"Selling paintings?" , Qi Shan turned around, glanced at the man meaningfully, and secretly thought: Could he be the Hanna mentioned in the eldest sister's letter.
"Are you new here? Don't you know the hospitality of the Lin Mansion? No matter whether you are rich or poor, as long as everyone who comes is a guest, why do you look down on people so much? Ji Shan narrowed her eyes slightly and reprimanded in a solemn voice.
The woman replied disapprerovingly: I naturally know, but I am also on the order of the second lady and will never let this person enter the Lin Mansion.
"Second lady? If I'm not mistaken, it's the eldest lady who is in charge of the Lin family, what's the matter with the second lady Guan? "Qi Shan has not liked this second lady since she was a child, when she used to live in Lin Mansion, she relied on herself to be the county lord of Yanwang Mansion and the favorite concubine of her uncle.
When the woman heard this, she raised the corners of her mouth, and snorted coldly: It used to be the eldest lady who was in charge, but who made her life difficult, after she had a cold, she was bedridden, I don't think it's been a few days, it's really feng shui in turn, haha...
Ji Shan furrowed her brows and thought secretly: The eldest aunt is seriously ill, why didn't the eldest sister mention it in the letter.
The woman's eyes frowned, her eyes swept slightly over Qi Shan, and she snorted: By the way, where are you a girl, why do you ask so much?
"I..." Ji Shan was about to answer, but was interrupted by the young man who came out of it: Mother Li, what are you still doing here, it's almost a mess inside.
After speaking, a pair of gentle handsome eyes fell on Ji Shan, looked at it for a long time, and said in surprise: Shan'er...
Ji Shan raised her eyes and looked back, and said crisply: Big brother...
"My little ancestor, I can be regarded as looking forward to you back," he said, grabbing her pancreas, looking at her carefully, and couldn't help but praise: You are getting better and better-looking, and my brother doesn't dare to recognize you.
"Brother, what are you talking about!" A flush flashed across Qi Shan's face, and she said shyly.
"Young Master Hongfei, who is this?" The woman next to her asked.
Bai Hongfei glanced at her and said lightly: The third young lady of our Lin family, don't hurry up and salute.
Mother Li's face turned pale for a while, and she bent down and said respectfully: "Third Miss, I didn't know Mount Tai just now, please don't be weird to Miss Three."
Qi Shan glanced at him coldly, turned her eyes to Bai Hongfei and said, "Big brother, I also brought a few friends. As he spoke, his eyes looked at Xuan Yi and the others.
Xuanyi and his gang stepped forward to introduce themselves one by one, and Lin Hongfei also gave up: Over the years, thanks to your care for my little sister, since you have arrived in this Lin Mansion, you don't have to be restrained, you should be your own home, everyone, please!
Xuan Yi pursed his lips and smiled, waved his fan, and walked into the mansion. Others followed.
