It is quite good to take the official boat on the road, it is fast and stable, and there are no checkpoints along the way. There is a special dock for the boat to dock at night for rest. [26nbsp;] It is a pity that no matter how smooth it is, Cui will not allow Yuzhu

Reading or doing needlework is afraid of damaging your eyes. There are no glasses for myopia these days, so Yuzhu has no choice but to chat with Cui and look at the scenery along the way. In his spare time, he listens to his mother telling about the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in the capital, and goes out to watch Qian Yu

Zhu is only seven or eight years old. He usually just stays in his room and doesn't know many people in the family very well. He was young and didn't need to remember so many relationships. Now when he goes back, he inevitably has to move around each room, so he still remembers it clearly.

Good.

Her grandfather's name was Lin Zheng. Although he was famous as a political figure, he was an out-and-out martial artist. He was awarded the title of Marquis of Ningyuan based on his meritorious service during his military life. He was also granted the title of Marquis of Ningyuan. He was also granted the title of wife's shadow and honored his ancestors. Her grandmother Shi's natal family was well-known.

A Qingliu historian who just stood in the wrong team during the last succession of emperors and is now in a period of silence. My grandfather has been dead for many years due to illness due to many years of war. My grandmother is now in charge of the entire family and manages such a large family in an orderly and obedient manner.

posted.

The eldest uncle, Lin Hengzhi, is the eldest son of the family, that is, Lin Yuanzhi's eldest brother. He had taken the title of Marquis of Ningyuan early, and it was because of him that Lin Yuanzhi was regarded as an abandoned son. The eldest uncle, he and his eldest aunt

The Fan family had two sons, the eldest son Lin Zongshou, the eighth son Lin Zongbin, and the fifth son Lin Zongqin, who was born as a concubine. Lin Zongshou was four years older than Lin Zongyan and had already married a wife. Her daughter-in-law was a daughter of the Li family and the eldest grandson of the eldest daughter-in-law.

Although his status is noble enough, his blessings are not enough - the diseases brought out in the womb require medicine every day to treat them.

The second uncle, Lin Jinzhi, was born as a concubine, but his biological mother was a concubine, so he was equivalent to half a legitimate son. He had never been a scholar since he was a child, so before the old man left, he donated a fourth-class official bodyguard to him.

He was just a city gate official guarding the gate of the palace. In fact, he only received a salary every month. When he had free time, he would go out and hang out. He married his second aunt Liang, who was a legitimate daughter. Her natal family was from a scholarly family. She and her second uncle had a son.

Daughters, according to the family ranking, are the seventh son Lin Zongcheng, the eldest daughter Lin Yumei. There is also the sixth son Lin Zongqian, who is a concubine.

The fourth uncle, Lin Shenzhi, is a good scholar. Although his ranking is not very good, he was born in a serious imperial examination. Now he has climbed to the fifth rank of Hanlin Academy to study as a bachelor. Although his rank is the same as that of his second uncle, the key is that he can continue

Climb up, but the official who donated it has no such hope. The fourth aunt Zhao's natal family is actually a well-known family, but it is a pity that she is a concubine. The two only gave birth to one legitimate son, Lin Zongming, who is the third in line. In addition, there are

The ninth young master Lin Zongxiao and the fourth young lady Lin Yuju were born as concubines.

These are all the immediate relatives of their family.

Yuzhu Ji remembered it very quickly, but he couldn't tell the ranking, and why the sons of the second wife were so young. In ancient times, wasn't there an order of elders and younger ones? Marriage should be in order. Ms. Cui snorted contemptuously,

There was no answer, but he told Yu Zhu to remember all the names and rankings, and not to make mistakes. Yu Zhu scratched his head, and it turned out that big families are the most annoying. It would be strange for so many people to live together without friction.

Finally, Mrs. Cui told her that in addition to these uncles and uncles from the same family, there was also an aunt who married into the royal family. Her maiden name was Fu Xin, and she was the daughter of the fourth prince.

Well, it still has something to do with the royal family. Yu Zhu touched her round chin, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

Ms. Cui looked at her flower-like daughter with affection, and felt extremely lucky in her heart. Fortunately, an aunt entered the palace. According to the rules, no daughter of the same race would enter the palace. Her precious daughter would not be allowed to enter the palace under any circumstances.

There is a danger of entering the palace. That shady place is not easy to get in and out of.

It gets colder as the boat goes north. When we first set off, there were some nice trees and grass along the way to pass the time. But the closer we got to the capital, the colder it became. All we could see along the coast were bare branches and trees not covered with grass.

The large piece of muddy ground clearly still looks like winter.

The bleak scene instantly made people lose the pleasure of enjoying the scenery. Mrs. Cui checked Yuzhu's rules over and over again, how to kowtow when she saw her grandmother, what to say, what to say when she saw her uncles and aunts.

What to call them, and what to do when they greet their brothers and sisters. The servants in the mansion are all children of the same family. The relationships among generations have been intertwined and cannot be dealt with casually. If the elders fortify servants to come in, accept them first.

Wait for her to slowly put away these eyeliners and so on.

It didn't take long to reach the last stop of the waterway, and we had to ride a carriage the rest of the way. Cui finally checked the thick sweaters on Yu Zhu and Lin Yuanzhi, and then signaled to Lin Yuanzhi that he could go.

.

Lin Yuanzhi smiled helplessly and took the lead to get off the boat. Yu Zhu wrapped her brocade-trimmed fur cloak tightly around her body and followed Cui out of the cabin. Breathing the cool air outside, stepping on the hard frozen ground under her feet, she couldn't help but feel...

I breathed a long sigh of relief. Although I didn't get seasick, I was really fed up with being unable to keep my feet on the ground after being drifting for several days. My bones felt stiff.

After getting on the carriage and not walking too far, the carriage slowly stopped. It turned out that it was already getting late. We were going to rest for the night at the inn where we spent the night. We would set out early tomorrow morning and arrive at the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion before dark.

The rooms in the inn are all standard rooms, well-equipped, not expensive but clean, and the food they serve can be eaten. There are only two people staying here now, and the other one doesn't seem to be a big official. Anyway, the postmaster is going there.

The waiters here were very attentive, and even the hot water was well prepared, so there was no need for servants to boil it. The servants were also asked to prepare fresh fodder for their horses.

It was the first time that Yuzhu saw Lin Yuanzhi outside. He treated Yi Cheng in a distant yet polite manner. Occasionally, he nodded cordially to the other junior official who was staying with him, which flattered the young official.

He handed over his hand repeatedly. It’s worthy of climbing so high at such a young age. Dad is indeed an official material.

We had to get up early tomorrow morning and go on the road, so we took a rest after dinner and spent the whole night in silence.

The next day, everyone in the Lin Mansion set off early. Unexpectedly, the postmaster was the first to get up, and he helped carry the luggage and load the car quickly. Lin Yuanzhi was very indifferent, and showed disdain after getting in the car: "

It’s a bit clever, but it’s a pity that it’s not very useful.”

The scenery outside the window gradually became more prosperous, and the number of pedestrians gradually increased. Near evening, the group finally arrived in the capital. Before Yu Zhu had time to put on his curtain hat and take a closer look at the gate of this ancient capital that had gone through vicissitudes of life, people from the Ningyuan Hou Mansion were waiting there.

Then, after bowing, he changed the driver and hurried to the mansion.
