The person who came to greet Yun Zixiang was Lin Jinnian, the direct son of the Lin family. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw the man's appearance. His facial lines were perfect, tough yet gentle, and a jade-like smile filled his brows. Under the bright morning light, he looked even more beautiful. His eyes looked as if they were painted, becoming more and more crystal clear, and he looked high-spirited even in his green clothes.
The one with outstanding appearance must be her cousin Lin Jinnian. There were many women standing around and looking at her. Yun Zixiang smiled and nodded slightly and said: "Zi Xiang has met my cousin! I'm here to help you, cousin." wait."
In Yun Zixiang's memory, this cousin was gentle and polite to everyone, with a faint smile between his breaths. He was still the same after not seeing him for many years.
"Sister Zixiang, there is no need to be polite. Grandma and mother have been waiting for a long time." Lin Jinnian took the bundle from Yun Zixiang's hand and led her to the carriage.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. Sister Zixiang has become more and more beautiful. I think even Jin Yue can't compare to you." Lin Jinnian joked.
Lin Jinyue is the legitimate daughter of the Lin family. She is the same sixteen-year-old as Yun Zixiang, but Yun Zixiang was born one month earlier.
"My cousin was joking, I can afford it."
Lin Jinnian also noticed that Yun Zixiang was estranged from him. After all, they hadn't seen each other for many years, and the only memory he had was of his childhood when his aunt brought Zixiang, who was several years old, to stay with the Lin family for a few days.
At that time, Yun Zixiang was not as steady as she is now. The naughty and innocent girl before was completely invisible to her now. It is conceivable that today's changes have made me feel a little sad for this one who is only sixteen years old. woman.
"Sister Zixiang, do you remember when you painted on my face?" Lin Jinnian looked at her and asked. When he mentioned the past, he thought it would be great to close the distance between them.
Yun Zixiang's thoughts were brought back to his childhood. Because of his playfulness and Lin Jinnian's excellence at that time, he drew turtles all over his face during his nap. Because of this, he was made to stand for a long time until he personally Go and admit your mistake before giving up.
"Of course I remember! I cried about this for a long time at that time. I always felt that I had done nothing wrong. Thanks to my cousin's plea at the time, I was saved from my mother asking me to copy the book."
Yun Zixiang already understood at that time that Lin Jinnian's character was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Even his parents praised him: "Jinnian will do a lot in the future!"
"Zixiang! Can you promise me something?"
"Huh?" Yun Zixiang looked at him
"Treat the Lin family as your own, and treat us as your own family." Lin Jinnian looked at Yun Zixiang with sincerity.
"Okay!" Yun Zixiang replied.
Yun Zixiang looked at the bustling streets outside. It was really incomparable to Huzhou. The people on the streets were either rich or expensive, and there were lots of traffic and people. It was so lively.
The current head of the Lin family is Lin Yi, who was also the Minister of Household Affairs at that time. He married the emperor's sister, Princess Xuanzhao. Lin Yi's mother, Yun Zixiang's grandmother, was Mrs. Zheng Erpin. She had a son and two daughters, including Twins Lin Yi and Lin Bi, Lin Bi is married to the current empress Shu Fei, and the youngest daughter is Yun Zixiang's mother Lin Tang.
Lin Yi and Princess Xuanzhao had a son and a daughter, Lin Jinnian and Lin Jinyue, and a concubine, Lin Wanqiao, who was the daughter of the current fifth prince Chu Yao.
From this point of view, the Lin family is full of glory and wealth, but these are just appearances. At the same time, it also proves that the Lin family is tied to Chu Yao, and the Lin family will also help in the future fight for the heirloom.
Yun Zixiang also understands the Lin family's situation and doesn't want to implicate them. After all, they are her mother's relatives and they treat her well.
When my thoughts reached this point, the carriage had arrived at the Lin Mansion. As soon as I got off the carriage, a young boy and a maid came to greet me. He said quickly: "Miss, hurry in. The old lady and the madam are waiting in the main hall!"
At this time, a beautiful person ran out of the house. Under the curved willow eyebrows, there was a pair of bright and clear eyes, as bright as stars. The fair and flawless skin showed a faint pink color. The small lips were red and delicate without makeup. She is dripping with desire, and the pear dimples are faintly smiling on her cheeks, which is really beautiful.
"Sister Zixiang!" The girl came over holding up her skirt.
The maid behind shouted: "Miss! Slow down."
Seeing who it was, Yun Zixiang smiled and said, "Jin Yue!"
Lin Jinyue hurriedly pulled Yun Zixiang into the house.
Lin Jinnian looked at his sister and shook his head helplessly.
main hall
Yun Zixiang first saluted the Lin family's grandmother. The person sitting directly above her was the Lin family's grandmother. She waved to Yun Zixiang: "Xiang girl, come here quickly and let grandma take a good look at you."
Yun Zixiang walked over and took his grandmother's hand: "Xianger, I'm sorry for your grandmother."
"Okay, okay, now your mother hasn't come back." After saying that, he sighed and tears appeared in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Princess Xuanzhao reminded: "Mother! Now that Xiang'er is here, don't mention these things, so as not to make Xiang'er sad."
"Yes, don't mention it. Come on, after so many years, grandma will help you recognize people."
My grandmother was from the old aristocratic Jiang family. She pointed to the woman sitting on the right and said, "This is your aunt, Princess Xuanzhao!"
"Xiang'er has met her aunt."
Although Princess Xuanzhao is over 30 years old, she is very well-maintained and has the same pear dimples on her face as Jin Yue. She is very kind.
Princess Xuanzhao stood up quickly and grabbed Yun Zixiang who was about to salute. She held her hand and said, "It's been a hard journey all the way. Now I'm fine when I get home. Jin Yue has been talking about you for a long time."
Lin Jinyue, who was pointed out, smiled sweetly.
As he spoke, he put the bracelet in his hand on Yun Zixiang's wrist. Yun Zixiang quickly declined.
"This is my aunt's wish, but please don't let me down."
"Yes! Thank you, aunt."
"Mom! I've been begging you for this for a long time, but you haven't given it to me. Now when Sister Zixiang comes, you give it to her." Lin Jinyue said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, this is a pair, originally prepared for you two." Princess Xuanzhao said helplessly.
"That's good, mother is the best!" Then she leaned into Princess Xuanzhao's arms.
Lin Jinnian saw this scene as soon as he came in. It seemed like he was used to it.
Jiang then pointed at the two women standing next to him. The older one was wearing blue gilt clothes and the makeup on her face was also fashionable in the capital. The woman next to her who looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, Dressed in pink, her eyes are watery, like a pool of autumn water, and her skin is as white as ivory, like a little flower in the autumn rain, somewhat similar to the woman next to her.
"This is your uncle's concubine, Mr. He, and next to her is Wan Qiao."
The introduction was extremely simple, and the dissatisfaction could be seen in the tone. Yun Zixiang also guessed who it was and leaned towards them.
"Ms. Yun hurriedly invited me. I couldn't find a meeting gift in such a hurry. I hope Miss He is not surprised." Mr. He also leaned over, but his eyes were extremely contemptuous. Yun Zixiang also caught this, which is self-evident. .
Before Yun Zixiang could speak, he pulled Lin Wanqiao from behind and said, "I haven't seen Miss Yun yet. I didn't see Miss Yun when you were born."
She looked timid, but she still saluted and said, "Wan Qiao has met Miss!"
Yun Zixiang helped Lin Wanqiao up: "There is no need to be polite. You and I are equals, so there is no need to salute."
