Chapter 34: Relatives and Distant

The group got out of the carriage, and a servant had already come to take the carriage away. At this time, the people standing in front of the mansion came to greet each other. The beautiful young woman lowered her eyebrows and walked up with her drooping child, and greeted Lin Wu and Chen in turn. Then, her eyes gathered on Lin Nan and stopped moving.

On the way back, Lin Nan knew that his father had a concubine at Changning Mansion's home and gave birth to a son Lin Zhi. When he saw him, he knew that they were the two people in front of him. This Aunt Qiu looked at someone who was not prone to trouble, and his younger brother Lin Zhi looked at him with curiosity, and there was also a hint of closeness, but Lin Nan did not dare to accept them easily at this moment.

When he was in Jingbei Bo Mansion, Lin Fu and Lin Shou's two cousins ​​seemed invincible at first, but then they showed their feet and finally led him to the edge of the pond. I don't know what he wanted to do... Fortunately, Lin Nan had already realized something and knew the nature of the water. He deliberately made them fall into the pond and fell into the pond, which caused Lin Fu and Lin Shou to suffer a great loss. Although the matter has passed, after Lin Nan thought about it, it is difficult to determine whether Lin Fu and Lin Shou's affairs have anything to do with the Xia family and the Zhou family. Although there is no worries about food and clothing in the high-gate courtyard, there is also a secret battle with all the gold and jade in the hall.

Because of this, although Aunt Qiu in front of her looks kind-hearted, Lin Nan still retains a certain amount of room in her heart. As for her younger brother Lin Zhi, Lin Nan dare not take it lightly because he was young. He had already learned too many things at his age...

"Nan'er, what are you stunned? This is Aunt Qiu." Seeing that Lin Nan was a little confused, Chen said something from the side to remind him. Lin Nan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Zhi'er has seen brother!" A slightly stingy voice came from the side. Lin Nan looked at it in a blink of an eye and saw Lin Zhi treating him like an adult. Even though Lin Nan was worried, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Zhi's actions.

Chen picked up Lin Zhi from the side and teased him, "Zhi'er is so well-behaved. Tell your mother when did you learn these rules?"

"Mom... I'm teaching it." Lin Zhi said, turning to look at Aunt Qiu.

A sentence changed Aunt Qiu's face to the point of horror, and his knees were weak and he was about to kneel down. As soon as Lin Zhi said, Lin Wu and Chen couldn't help but stiffen. Although Lin Zhi was born by Aunt Qiu, Aunt Qiu belonged to his concubine. Even if his own son was born in front of outsiders, he could not be called "mother". Only the main wife could be called a mother or mother, otherwise it would be a mess. Therefore, when Lin Zhi said, Aunt Qiu had already lost her three souls and seven souls. Even if Chen was a kind and kind woman on weekdays, he was afraid that he would not be able to swallow this at this time. Most of the time he thought he wanted to borrow his son to take over the position of her main wife.

After all, Lin Wu and Chen were people who had seen the scene. After a moment of being stunned, they all came to their senses. Seeing Lin Wu’s anger on his face, Chen hurriedly said, “Forget it, what an older child, these rules can’t be learned in a short while. Just teach him slowly in the future. Don’t kneel here. They are all family members. What’s the point of being unable to tell? You are also a mother, don’t kneel every now and then..."

Chen said softly, Aunt Qiu's eyes were already red. She wanted to explain a few words, but she didn't know where to start, so she had to suppress her words and lowered her head to look at her feet.

Lin Wu glanced at Aunt Qiu, and without saying a word, stepped into the mansion. Chen followed behind with Lin Zhi in his arms. Lin Nan stopped and was about to let Aunt Qiu go first. Unexpectedly, Aunt Qiu seemed to intend to let him, and Lin Nan did not insist and followed Chen into the mansion. The remaining maids and servants entered one after another, and they were all old people in the mansion. They naturally knew what to do without arrangement.

After Lin Nan disappeared, Chen was heartbroken and lost his fertility. In order to prevent the Lin family from being cut off, he took the initiative to choose a concubine for her husband Lin Wu, which is Aunt Qiu. Aunt Qiu was originally a maid next to Chen. When he followed Chen, he had always had a good temper and had many children and grandchildren. So Chen mentioned her and chose a life and became a good thing. Aunt Qiu did not disappoint everyone's expectations, and the next year he added a male to the Lin family, which was Lin Zhi.

Although everyone prayed that Lin Nan was not dead, everyone knew that hope was slim, so Lin Zhi became the only incense for the prefect Lin. Unless a new person was added in the future, Lin Zhi would be the heir of the ranks. Therefore, although Lin Zhi was born to Aunt Qiu, he grew up in front of Chen, so naturally there was a relationship between the two. In the past, Lin Zhi called Qiu "Auntie" in front of others. Unexpectedly, Chen had only returned to Beijing for a few days and came back again, and Lin Zhi had already changed his words unconsciously.

Although Chen had thought about himself and others before, and Qiu was his personal girl before, he took special care of him. Even if Xiao Lin Zhi occasionally had some mistakes in front of others, Chen could understand that when he came back from afar, he heard Lin Zhi, who had always loved him, changed his mouth, and still felt a little uncomfortable.

After entering the main hall, Chen ordered Yun'er, the now close-knit girl, to gather all the servants in the mansion. The maid and the servants stood on the other side, and they all held hands to listen to the lecture. At this time, Lin Nan and Lin Zhi flanked the left and right next to Chen, and only heard Chen say warmly: "I'm summoning you here today, not a warning, just a matter of something. I believe you have heard it now, and it's a pity that God has seen. The eldest master of our Lin Mansion has returned home, and you will naturally see you doing things in the mansion. Today, I'm asking you to recognize him so that you won't have any faces and have some more details in the future." As he said that, he pulled Lin Nan in front of him and faced the servants: "Look up and see, recognize him clearly."

Brush! Countless pairs of eyes raised at the same time and looked at Lin Nan. Even though Lin Nan had seen a few small scenes, he suddenly became stared at him. Fortunately, these servants were well-trained, so they looked at him for a moment and lowered their heads again. Only two little girls next to him stared at him unconsciously and looked at him for a few more times.

"You all go down. The master and I have not been in the mansion in recent days. You have worked hard. After going down, you will go to the accounting office. Each person will pay an extra five cents of silver, and each girl in the second door and the upper room will be one or two taels. Go!" Chen wanted to be kind to his servants, but as soon as he said this, everyone bowed and thanked each other before they dispersed one by one.

After Lin Wu returned to the mansion, he went to Qianya to stand at the foot of the foot, and then moved to the West Garden of Houfu. There was no girl at the entrance of the West Garden, but only a pretty servant. When he saw Lin Wu coming, he quickly saluted. Lin Wu smiled and said, "Sir, are you here?"

The servant was about to answer when the door opened, and an old man in his fifties came out: "Jingxuan returned from a long journey. Is this a blaming me for not waiting for me?"
