Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 52

Seeing Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu approaching, Qi Haoran greeted Lin Yuan naturally, calling her, "Little Ayuan."

Lin Yuan smiled and called Brother Qi, her attitude was also very natural.

Qi Yingyu, who felt neglected, immediately smiled and said, "It turns out that my brother has lost sight of me, and he only cares about greeting others. It's really sad to be called a younger sister."

Qi Haoran turned to look at her, not as gentle as he was when he was facing Lin Yuan, he just said, "We just returned to Beijing, the house is so busy, you left your mother to take care of the house's affairs, and ran out by yourself .I was ordered by my mother to come pick you up, but you have some complaints." Such a tone made people feel even more threatening.

Qi Yingyu didn't answer him, but looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Do you know what it means to forget a girl when you see sex? This is a good example in front of us!" After she finished speaking, she quickly added, "A gentleman uses his mouth Don't do it, brother, if you dare to hit me later, I will have to come and sue!"

"I will beat you." Qi Haoran gave his sister a sideways look, and stopped entangled with her, and only said to Lin Yuan, "I just came out of the palace today, so it's not very suitable, so I will visit Lin Yuan again at a better time. Shang Shu and Mrs. Lin."

Lin Yuan's father, Lin Hai, had been promoted from Minister of the Household Department to Minister of the Household Department a year ago.

"En." Lin Yuan nodded in response, and Qi Haoran smiled again, "Speaking of which, I saw you when I entered the city this morning. Are you with the third young master?"

"Can you really see clearly like this?" Lin Yuan was already curious, but when he mentioned it, she became even more curious.

Before Qi Haoran could answer, Qi Yingyu had already said from the side, "Brother's eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people, and it is not suitable to look at him with the eyes of normal people. Not to mention eyesight, hearing is the same. I am definitely here Praise!" In order to avoid her brother's sinister threat, Qi Yingyu said this extra sentence at the end, but it didn't seem to be of much use.

Lin Yuan just smiled, and Qi Haoran said again, "It's getting late, my sister and I will take our leave first." Lin Yuan nodded and watched them get into the carriage.

Qi Yingyu got into the carriage and got out after a while, leaned into Lin Yuan's ear and said something, then got into the carriage again with a smile, and finally left.

Lin Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but finally she still smiled, but her face was a little redder than before.

Lin Yuan sent Qi Yingyu and Qi Haoran away and went to see Mrs. Lin. It so happened that all three sisters-in-laws came to pay their respects to Mrs. Lin, and all six nephews were there.The six little guys who were surrounding Mrs. Lin saw her, and immediately came up to meet her.The older one walked faster, and immediately arrived in front of Lin Yuan, holding her two hands, one left and one right, and the others followed, stomping and staring, and walked back to Madam Lin again.

This kind of scene has been seen a lot, and the people don't make fun of it, they just take it as commonplace.Lin Yuan and Mrs. Lin greeted each other, and after greeting the three sisters-in-law, Mrs. Lin said, "Mr. Qi just sent some freshly baked snacks when he came to pick up Miss Qi. I asked the servant girl to send some to each room." past."

How did Lin Yuan know that Qi Haoran brought snacks, Madam Lin didn't hide it from her, and even took the initiative to ask the maid to send it to her room, which was not showing favoritism.Lin Yuan imagined that if her father knew about it, he might want to throw it out angrily, so she thought it was really fun.She could see that her father and brothers didn't target Qi Haoran very much, they just felt unbalanced in her heart, and she would never do anything excessive.

"Okay!" Lin Yuan responded with a smile, and Mrs. Lin said, "Your grandmother sent someone over to say, let's get together tomorrow. Your grandfather and uncles and cousins ​​haven't seen each other yet." But your three sister-in-laws and nephews. When your grandfather and uncles come back this time, they probably won’t have to go to the border again.”

What kind of rewards everyone in the Marquis of Yingwu's Mansion has received can be easily spread, and there is no need to inquire about it.Such feats, even if they don't make other merits, are enough for a lifetime of glory and wealth.

"That's great! My grandfather must be so happy to see so many lovely grandchildren!" Lin Yuan smiled sweetly, echoing her mother's words.

Not long after, Lin Yuan's three elder brothers all came back to pay their respects to Mrs. Lin, and everyone chatted and laughed for a while, then Lin Yuan's three elder brothers and three sisters-in-law took their six nephews back to their respective yards for dinner.

When Master Lin came over for dinner, he knew that his daughter had seen Qi Haoran again today, but he didn't say anything, which is strange.Lin Yuan thought that her father would say something in secret, but he didn't. She was a little surprised, but she just ate dinner quietly and didn't mention anything on purpose.

The next day, both Lin Hai and Lin Xuan went to court early.After breakfast, Mrs. Lin took her two sons, three daughters-in-law, six grandsons and daughter to Yingwuhou Mansion.There are quite a few people in the Lin family now, so if they go out together like this, they will need at least six carriages, plus a carriage for the ceremony.

Marquis Yingwu is now the Duke of England, and His Majesty the Emperor has also given him a new house, but if he wants to move, it will not be so fast.Lin Yuan accompanied Mrs. Lin in a carriage, and they rode the carriage all the way to the second gate of Yingwuhou Mansion. Lin Yuan's aunts and cousins ​​had already received the letter and were already waiting there.

Lin Yuan got out of the carriage first, and then helped her mother get out of the carriage. Over there, Lin Yuan's brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews all got down, and then they came to greet her aunt and cousin.The two cousins ​​of Lin Yuan's eldest uncle's family, including the second uncle's eldest son, were all married before the expedition. The only one was the youngest cousin, who was also in his early twenties and hadn't married yet.

It's just that it's been six years since he left. Except for the eldest cousin who gave birth to a son, the other two cousins ​​have nothing to do for the time being.This is also impossible.

After greeting each other warmly, Lin Yuan's two aunts beckoned everyone to go inside.Lin Yuan's grandfather and grandmother were sitting at the top of the hall, as were her two uncles and several cousins.

Mrs. Lin was helped in by Lin Yuan, and she couldn't stop crying when she saw her father and older brothers and younger brothers.She hadn't seen her parents, siblings, and her parents for nine years before leaving Beijing, but this time, she hadn't seen her for six years, and the feeling was deeper than others.

The eldest son is almost thirty, and the youngest daughter is 13 years old. Even if Mrs. Lin knows how to take care of her, she doesn't look young anymore.Mrs. Lin was so choked up that she couldn't even speak, but Lin Yuan was still able to hold back, so she greeted her grandfather, uncle, and cousins ​​along with her brothers.

Today, all the people gathered together are from my own family, and there are no outsiders. Seeing her second daughter crying like this, Mrs. Hou said, "Sister Yuan, please help your mother to sit down first." Lin Yuan nodded and persuaded her patiently. Looking at his mother, he helped her to sit down beside her, while he stood beside Mrs. Lin.

Lin Yuan's three sisters-in-law, except for the eldest sister-in-law, were seeing her grandfather and uncles for the first time, so the greetings for the first time were naturally more solemn.The six nephews also stood together in a row, shouting, "Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, cousin, uncle." Their voices were still immature, and their appearance was pleasing. Naturally, they got praise and gifts.

The British Marquis of the past, now the Duke of England saw that his second daughter was still crying, so he said, "Look at your grandmother crying like this, good boy, go over and persuade her." Then Mrs. Lin rushed over.With everyone persuading her, and because she couldn't hold it back when she got emotional before, Mrs. Lin gradually stopped crying, and Lin Yuan wiped her mother's tears with a handkerchief.

After a while, the maid said loudly outside, "The third aunt is here!"

Little Wang and the second master of the Fu family walked in, followed by two sons, two daughters-in-law, three little boys, and two little girls, all of whom were not very old, and they were all as tender as glutinous rice balls. like.Mrs. Xiao Wang and Mr. Fu came forward to greet the Duke and Mrs. Ying, and greet other people, and there was a big circle.

"Father, mother, our family is now a big family! There are so many people that we can't fight in the living room. It's really joyful to see!" She was nearly forty years old, and when she faced her relatives, , but still speak like this, not restrained at all.

The old lady also smiled and said, "I'm just waiting for you to come! Otherwise, it's meaningless to just sit here like this."

Xiao Wang refused immediately, "How can mother say that? Dad, brother and a few nephews finally came back, just sitting and watching for a day is very interesting!"

Everyone laughed, and the old lady turned around and said, "Little babies are not interesting here, why not take them down to play, and the granddaughter and grandson-in-law will have to come over later, there will be more people here."

There was no chance for Lin Yuan to speak when the adults talked, but among the younger generations who were not married, only she and this cousin were left.My cousin is older and different from her, so she said now, "Grandmother, let me take them down to play, and let the maids and women follow, and I can take care of them by myself."

Later, of course, it will not be like this. Her grandfather, uncle and others will go to drink tea elsewhere, while her grandmother only stays with her aunts and aunts.She is the only one who is not married, so staying here is unavoidably out of place.The most important thing was that she felt that some things that could have been discussed and discussed might have to be held back because of her alone.At least her cousin's marriage is a big deal.

"Miss Qi will come later, and the two of you will have a companion at that time, but now I have to let you play with your nephews and nephews first." The old lady said with a smile, as if she agreed with Lin Yuan's words , and turned his head to order, "Let a few more nannies and maidservants follow, Miss Biao is alone, so many children, it will be impossible to take care of them."

Lin Yuan felt a little pleasantly surprised after hearing this, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Qi is coming too?"

The old lady nodded, and said, "Fenyonghou's mansion also sent invitations." She didn't explain too much, but there must be other reasons.

Lin Yuan also knew the reason, even if she wanted to say it, it was not the time like now, so she just smiled and said, "Then I will take them down to play first, only after the sister of the Qi family comes, grandma must send someone to inform her." Let me know." Afterwards, the left and right were happily laughing, leading a nephew and nurses up to hold the baby, and they all went out of the hall first.
