Chapter 20 The Lin Family

Huai'an Lin Family

Although it was hasty, Mi Niang had already made arrangements, but the layout that might not have been used was now used again.

The Lin family is a real century-old clan, so even though the family is neglected now, the family is not as beautiful as before. After leaving Kyoto, they still have polite relations with the Kyoto families. When the Lin family left Beijing, they did not return to their hometown in Yaozhou, but settled in Huai'an.

Huai'an is only one day away from Kyoto. If anyone has something to do, the Lin family will receive gifts. As a result, it will be difficult for people who receive gifts to stop talking, so whenever someone holds a banquet, someone will still send a post.

Of course, the Lin family is also aware of each other. They will not just go to the appointment just by answering a post. They are polite, sincerely invited each other or take it seriously, so they have not been annoying in recent years.

The wealthy families in Kyoto also know that there is a Lin family in Huai'an.

Speaking of the Lin family, the scholarly family was also brilliant in the past. There were many disciples in the court. The Lin family has been in Hanlin for many generations, and several Hanlin bachelors were born and reached the third rank.

There is a saying in the officialdom that "If you are not a Jinshi, you will not enter the Hanlin, and if you are not a Hanlin, you will not enter the cabinet." Hanlin bachelors are responsible for drafting edicts. Especially in the late Jinhan period, the Hanlin Bachelors Academy evolved into an important institution that specializes in drafting secret edicts, and is known as the "Son of Emperor's Personality". It is not difficult to imagine the glory of the Lin family back then.

The current leader, Lin Hengchong, was a third-rank Hanlin scholar when he resigned from office and retired. Although no one in the Lin family has entered Hanlin again, the world has changed its dynasty, but there are still many former disciples in the dynasty in the Zhongjing.

On the way, Mi Niang had carefully explained the situation of the Lin family. In addition to these, there is also the current situation of the Lin family. The Lin family is a century-old family. Such a family cannot be separated unless the family is separated.

Now the Lin family lives in Lin Mansion in Huai'an. Of course, there is a branch in Yaozhou's hometown. The person in Huai'an is the Lin Hengchong branch, and he is also the eldest house of the legitimate branch.

Lin Hengchong had five sons and three daughters, and they had already grown up, but the big house had withered, and now there was only one widow and a young child to support him.

The eldest wife of the eldest wife gave birth to only one daughter, Lin Shuangyu, passed away. The eldest wife Lin Jingzhi also left early and left before the new wife gave birth to the child. The eldest wife's youngest son was a posthumous child. Due to his premature birth, he was inseparable from the medicine since he was a child.

Judging from this, it is hard to say whether the big house can maintain the order. Therefore, some people suggested choosing one from the other houses for the big house. After all, some people support it.

This matter has been mentioned for several years, but the old man has not spoken and put it aside.

About two months ago, Mr. Lin, who had always been in good health, suddenly became seriously ill, and this matter was brought up again. Although Mr. Lin's health improved, the old man's attitude this time became sensational.

Everyone in the Lin family was happy to see this. Only Mrs. Lin felt bitter in her heart. Although she married her as a housekeeper, she was a formal marriage. Not long after she got married, the master went there. She accepted her fate.

But her son is not dead yet, so these people have plotted against her. Over the years, she has depended on her son for life and kept her widows and integrity. Why do they treat her son like this?

Isn't this curse her son to die early? No matter what, her son is now the legitimate eldest son of the eldest son. Fortunately, he has been taken care of by the old man. Now what should the old man do if he is... her child?

When she was sleeping, someone sent a pillow over. After someone's guidance, she thought of a move that could temporarily suspend the issue.

The key to this trick is Lin Shuangyu, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, who everyone has forgotten. If it were not for someone's advice, even Mrs. Lin himself would not be able to remember this person.

"Madam, the person should be coming soon. The lady's room has been cleaned up. I'll let Qian'er go to the door to meet her. Don't worry." Mother Yuan was the one who asked the advice. She was also the gossip of a few servants who accidentally heard this.

These gossipers are a bit sophisticated.

Yuan’s mother is an old man whom Mrs. Lin has been dowrying. Over the years, she has been serving her unanimously and is highly valued by Mrs. Lin.

"Well, what's going on in the other rooms?"

Mrs. Lin is only in her early thirties, but she has white silk on her temples. She has been wearing plain clothes all year round, no color, and has tied her hair bun and has not dressed up too much. She looks a bit rigid and adds a bit of age.

In fact, if you look closely, Mrs. Lin has a pretty appearance, fair skin, and round double eyelids and eyes, which is a bit unsightly. If you are more energetic and your eyebrows are stretched out, it will be a bit moving.

"It's not a big deal for the time being, it's a bit surprising. Speaking of which, how many people still remember this family, there is a young lady outside in our big room?"

Yes, I almost forgot it. Mrs. Lin grabbed the veil and nodded slightly, "It's also a pitiful person. I don't know what he has developed when I sent it to the farm. These people under my command are the best at following people's behavior. Although they are young ladies, who knows how they treat them?"

"Who said no? If this young lady hadn't met a kind-hearted mother like her wife, she might not have been back in this life. If she was a sensible person, she would have been filial to her wife."

Mother Yuan stood beside Mrs. Lin, helping to organize the thread on the table next to her with a smile on her face.

Mrs. Lin put down her handkerchief, picked up the embroidery frame on the table, and walked through it stitch by thread. While embroidering patterns, she whispered: "I don't expect her to be filial. After all, it's not my biological family. It's good to be able to be peaceful. Mother Yuan, you have to explain to the maids under your command. She is the eldest daughter of our big house. Be careful. Assign two more sensible girls to come over..."

Mrs. Lin thought to herself that she didn't say it clearly, what could she expect from a country girl who had never seen the world?

She took her back, not really kind-heartedly, but for her child, there was no way. For her son, she would try anything that had hope. She would take a step back, even if it was useless... A young lady came back and was at the age of discussing marriage. With her in front of her, the matter of recurring can at least be slowed down.

She proposed to the old man and the old woman to take back the lady, and to the public, she was using the banner of organizing a marriage for the lady. Even if everyone knew what she was thinking, she could delay it now, and it would be great if her brother came back from the famous doctor she was looking for in the north.

When the child's health is better, she will dare to beat someone out if she dares to mention the matter.

She is dragging it now, the longer she drags the better.

At first, she was worried that the old lady would not agree. After all, Lin Shuangyu's fate was not good, and her fate was hard to resist her. If Master Puzhi had not said that it was just right to match her child's horoscope and could boost her fate, she would have spent this effort to ask for it.

The old lady refused at first, but coincidentally, the old lady heard the words and thought of her deceased son. Then she let go and asked her to take them back. It was her own luck.

"Madam, Madam, Shunzi sent someone to report that the carriage had entered the city and would arrive soon."
