Chapter 140 The Miraculous Third Cousin
Lin Wanwan, who came out of the bamboo garden, had complicated thoughts, and always felt that she had returned to the human world from a strange and bizarre world.

"Hongyan, why are all the servants here missing? Isn't this arranged by my aunt?"

Hongyan looked back at the bamboo garden where the courtyard door was closed tightly again, and said in a low voice: "This is all brought by Xiao Niang. I heard from people in the mansion that because she was born with an abnormality, she can't see normal people around her." , will be beaten away by her. The elders of the family have no choice but to find a lot of people who are desperate to come and serve, and they all grew up with her. "

"Since she is a direct descendant of Xiao's uncle, why did she come to live here as a guest?"

Hongyan paused for a moment when he heard the words, and then said eloquently: "Although the two families have produced five clothes, but because Xiao Xiaoniang's grandmother and our old lady learned etiquette from the same nanny when they were young, they have a close relationship. This time Xiao Xiaoniang came to seek medical treatment from the Medicine Buddha in the Medicine Master Hall of Lingyin Temple, so she naturally settled here.

Except for going to Lingyin Temple to burn incense every half a month, she never socializes, and stays behind closed doors all day long. The lady visited today, and as long as she knows that there is such a lady in the mansion, she will probably not be able to touch her in the future. "

Lin Wanwan nodded, she understood, and pressed the topic without mentioning it.

On the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year, after a family dinner, Lin Wanwan recognized all the "maternal relatives" from Datang.The other party had no doubts about her identity. After all, her identity was confirmed by Xiao's Qi Liangfang, and she also had a copy of the "Three Character Classic" that was well-known in Qiantang.

Xiao Shi has no reason to question such a granddaughter who has a wealth of wealth and a great reputation.

And Lin Wanwan didn't reject being confirmed as her identity, after all, it could be regarded as a stepping stone for her to enter the upper class of the Tang Dynasty.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, where family background, strict hierarchy, and solidification of class were all important, it was very difficult to create a family out of thin air, especially for women.

If you want to enter the circle of upper-class nobles, just having money is absolutely not enough.After all, the branch of Hou Taolin's family is already a poor family. If it is not supported by an ancestral hall, it can be called a peasant household.

But the Xiao family is different, even if they are separated, they are still the Lanling Xiao family.Throughout Jiangnan, this surname represents nobility and status.No matter where they settle down, they can quickly be accepted by the local upper class society.

And like Lin Wanwan, even though she has produced high-yield grain in Yan County, she has been known as a famous doctor in ten miles and eight towns. Almost everyone nearby has heard of her wealth, but still no noble lady will come to visit her. , and will not invite her to join it, let alone a man from the Hopeful clan to propose marriage.

The impoverished poor family invited a matchmaker to come to their door, but just after entering the village, the Lin patriarch sent someone to kidnap her, and asked her to be a matchmaker for Lin's good sons.As for Lin Wanwan's family?That is not even close to the threshold.

For men in Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty, the daughters of Qiwang with five surnames are the ones they most want to marry; while in the south of the Yangtze River, they are the daughters of the old noble families with five surnames and nine families, namely Lanling Xiao, Liu, and Wujun. Zhang, Lu, and Gu.

Among them, the Xiao family whose ancestors were the emperors is the most distinguished and prominent (after becoming the emperor, Xiao He was even pulled out as the ancestor, as to whether it is true or not, it cannot be tested).

In addition to the ranking of the old gentry with five surnames and nine families, Jiangnan can be divided into the four surnames Wang, Xie, Yuan, and Xiao of overseas Chinese, and the four surnames of Zhu, Zhang, Gu, and Lu of Wu.

Men and women born in these families are the most popular in the marriage and social markets in Jiangnan.

Therefore, the recognition of Lin Wanwan and Xiao's family is indeed beneficial to both parties.The gentry is not only an identity, but also a protective talisman.

When it was tea tasting time after dinner, the second uncle Xiao Zhen and the third cousin Xiao Jingkun spoke frequently, and Lin Wanwan was amazed at this interesting pair of father and son.

Through the conversation of the other party, she can only sigh that a branch is always a branch, and the second room is always the second room.With different responsibilities and different education, people's personalities are naturally very different. No wonder the second uncle took a merchant girl as his concubine.

Compared with the calmness of the uncle's family, the second uncle's family is like actors in a comedy.

Within a cup of tea, the third cousin Xiao Jingkun mentioned a certain "Mrs. Lu" countless times, which made Lin Wanwan dumbfounded.If she didn't understand that Mrs. Lu's age can be Xiao Jingkun's mother, Lin Wanwan would have thought that the other party had a crush on Mrs. Lu—no, it was a clear love.

Didn't you agree that feudal society is conservative?What kind of trick is this?
And the people in this family are all accustomed to the "Mrs. Lu" being mentioned constantly, and their faces don't change, which shows that Xiao Jingkun doesn't mention it a lot on weekdays.

After talking about it, Xiao Jingkun suddenly said to Lin Wanwan: "Sister Wan, you will be lucky enough to see Madam Lu tomorrow. We only found out about you when Madam Lu sent us a message. You must thank Madam Lu .

Knowing that you came to Qiantang today, Mrs. Lu specially ordered the servants in the house to send invitations, inviting us juniors to attend a dinner at Lu's house tomorrow.This is all for the face of our Xiao family, so you can have the opportunity. "

Lin Wanwan showed a cold but polite smile: "Thank you so much, but I don't know this lady, but I don't know how she got the news about me."

Xiao Jingkun proudly said: "Because you saved brother Zifang, he is Madam Lu's nephew, when he was seriously ill last time, Madam Lu heard the news and invited all the famous doctors in Hangzhou Mansion to treat him. If it doesn’t work, you’re still the best, Wanmei.”

After talking for a long time, it turned out that it was Xiao Chong's aunt, and it was from her that the news leaked out. Lin Wanwan finally understood.

"So, I really want to thank Mrs. Lu. Grandma, then I will really thank you tomorrow. If it weren't for her enthusiasm, I would not know that there is still a grandmother in this world."

Mother Xiao who had been sitting in the main seat cheerfully listening to the chatter of the juniors said with a smile: "Okay, go, go out and have fun with your brothers and sisters tomorrow. There are good flowers in the garden of the Lu family."

Xiao Jingkun took the conversation again: "Sister Wan, I believe that when you meet Mrs. Lu tomorrow, you will definitely learn a lot of etiquette from her. She comes from the direct line of the Qiliang family of the Xiao family. She is graceful, luxurious and amiable."

Lin Wanwan showed an uncontrollable smile, reluctantly picked up the cup of freshly brewed tea that Mrs. Zhu Sansao had just handed over, and took a sip regardless of the taste, so as not to laugh out loud.

She could feel that Mrs. Zhu was very ashamed of her husband's boastful talk, but she also acted very calmly. This lady's self-cultivation is absolutely brilliant.

For example, at this moment, the tea she handed over was just right, which saved both Lin Wanwan and Xiao Jingkun from embarrassment.
