Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 14

The next day, Xu Yueqiu's cousin didn't send her to the academy, neither did Lin Yuan's elder brother.When the two of them sat in the carriage to go to Nanxi Academy, they were both a little uneasy.

The two of them were frustrated all the way, thinking that they couldn't do what they had agreed to, and what to do later.When Xu Yueqiu and Lin Yuan met at the gate of the academy, Lin Yuan was relieved to see that Xu Yueqiu's cousin hadn't come, and Xu Yueqiu had seen that Lin Yuan's eldest brother hadn't come.

But just now they breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Yuan and Xu Yueqiu got together and explained the situation to each other, and after that, the two of them became uneasy again.

Both Lin Yuan's elder brother and Xu Yueqiu's cousin all refused to send them to the academy. After looking at it in this way, I always feel that I have done something wrong.Lin Yuan and Xu Yueqiu thought of this almost at the same time, and they both became guilty. After a silence, they said at the same time, "Did we make a mistake?"

Because of this coincidence, they felt even more that they almost made a big mistake, and hurriedly waved their hands, "Don't dare again next time, never dare again." After finishing speaking, they made an appointment with each other, "Let's have a good time when we go back. Please apologize."

Until now, the two of them felt a little more at ease.Just thinking about it makes me feel guilty.

After the day's class was over, the two of them went back home. One apologized to his cousin, and the other apologized to his elder brother, but both were coaxed for a long time.

Lin Yuan was not angry when she saw that her elder brother was not angry, and Xu Yueqiu was not angry when she saw that her cousin was not, so the two were completely relieved.Peace of mind is peace of mind, but the two of them never dared to mess around like this again.

The peaceful, peaceful and warm days always pass very quickly, and it is already mid-November in a blink of an eye.

As the New Year's Eve approached, the academy began to have a holiday. Xiao Linyuan followed Mrs. Lin to prepare for the New Year's Eve without having to go to the academy to attend classes.She couldn't help much, but she didn't make trouble.

Because it was about to celebrate the New Year, Mrs. Lin brought out some top-quality Shu brocade and some top-quality cloud brocade, and planned to choose from them to make New Year's clothes for the family.

When Xiao Linyuan heard that she was going to make new clothes, she began to distribute them like a little adult, "The clothes made of this cloth will definitely give people a sense of stability and depth, and it is suitable to make clothes for dad; Beautiful, very suitable for mother; these few horses are suitable for making clothes for any brother; this cloth makes people feel lively and pretty, very suitable for me, right?"

Mrs. Lin listened to the words that popped out of her mouth one after another, and she didn't know where she learned them. Although there are many things taught in the academy, they don't teach them so deeply.

Seeing the youngest daughter's cheerful appearance, Mrs. Lin smiled slightly, and then ruthlessly revealed, "Sister Yuan racked her brains to come up with so many words, right?"

Lin Yuan blinked, looked at her mother, and smiled embarrassedly.After laughing, Lin Yuan puffed up her face in feigned anger, looked at her mother resentfully, and complained, "Mother, you can't say it so directly!"

It was just a little probing, but unexpectedly it was right, Mrs. Lin was very happy to comfort her, "A Yuan said it very well, so we will distribute it according to A Yuan's wishes."

Lin Yuan immediately beamed with joy, and all previous thoughts were left behind.

When the New Year's Eve approached, the two members of the Lin family, Dalin Shilang and Xiaolin Editor, who had to go to the Yamen on weekdays, were able to stay at home all day.It's rare that An Ansheng can stay at home for a long time, and they don't go out, just stay at home with their families.

On this day of New Year's Eve, the whole family gets together to have a warm and joyful New Year's Eve dinner.After the dinner was withdrawn, the maids served exquisite and delicious snacks and tea. Afterwards, Mrs. Lin asked the maids not to serve and allowed them to go down to rest.

The whole family sat together leisurely, eating delicious snacks, drinking tea, and chatting.Everyone put on the clothes made of the fabric selected by Lin Yuan. Mrs. Lin brought up this matter in particular, and Lin Yuan got compliments from her three brothers and her father as expected.

"My sister's choice of fabric is really suitable. This fabric and this clothes are no more suitable for my brother." Lin Xuan, the elder brother, praised Lin Yuan most enthusiastically. It was a rare time for Xiao Linyuan to raise her head happily, without paying attention. He said to his elder brother, "You don't have to be polite about such a small matter, we are a family!"

The vigil had to wait until midnight before he could go to rest. It didn't matter to the others. Lin Yuan was still young, so she couldn't bear it anymore.She couldn't help being sleepy, and kept yawning. Both her parents and her three elder brothers advised her to take a rest first, but Lin Yuan refused, and insisted on keeping watch with her.

Although she started to feel sleepy early in the morning, Lin Yuan insisted on staying up until midnight, until midnight.In the originally silent night, the sound of firecrackers suddenly broke out, breaking the peace of the night.

The sudden sound made Lin Yuan tremble, and everyone thought she was frightened.But the next moment she smiled and congratulated her parents and three elder brothers on the new year, other people knew that it was not the case.

Lin Yuan is the youngest in the whole family, and she is only six years old even after the New Year.Lin Yuan's third brother is the youngest but also 17 years old, so naturally he is no longer the age to receive red envelopes.Therefore, at this time, Lin Yuan was the only one who could receive red envelopes.

Joyfully took over the big red envelopes from her parents and three elder brothers. Xiao Linyuan was holding five big red envelopes, smiling and hugging her tightly, clearly unwilling to let go. appearance.

Lin Yuan asked her elder brother to carry her off the chair. She hugged five big red envelopes, ran to her mother, and pushed all the red envelopes to Mrs. Lin, "Mom, save them!"

At the very beginning, it was Madam Lin who told Lin Yuan nicely that she would give all the red envelopes to her mother for her to save.Later, it was Lin Yuan who took the initiative to push the red envelopes to Mrs. Lin every time to save them.

Mrs. Lin put away all the red envelopes for her, then hugged her on her lap, and asked her softly, "Are you sleepy? Go to bed, okay?"

"Okay." Lin Yuan happily replied, leaning against Mrs. Lin's arms, once again... she fell asleep as soon as she finished speaking.

On the second day of the New Year's Eve, officials of the fourth rank and above must enter the palace to congratulate His Majesty the Emperor, and married women must also enter the palace to pay homage to His Majesty the Empress.Because Her Highness the Empress had sent the news earlier, ordering the wives to bring their daughters with them, Lin Yuan was able to follow Mrs. Lin to the palace to learn more.

After all, the palace is not as solemn and solemn as the outside. Even if it is a festive season like New Year's Day, even if the palace is decorated, it is still dignified everywhere.

Lin Yuan was very lively on weekdays, and before arriving here in the palace, she had not waited for Madam Lin to say anything, she had already held Madam Lin's hand tightly, and whispered to Madam Lin, "Mother, I don't like this place."

Seeing the serious and nervous look on the little daughter's face, Mrs. Lin could only comfort her softly, "Don't be afraid, let's go see the aunt later, okay?"

Although Lin Yuan came to the capital from Taiyuan for many years, but as long as she can remember, she has only heard about it but never seen this great aunt who is a concubine and lives in the palace.Now that she heard her mother say that she could see her aunt, Lin Yuan nodded seriously, signaling that Mrs. Lin would also like to see her aunt.

Emperor Jiaqing is now twenty-two in forty, with many concubines in the palace and many heirs, six sons and five daughters.

There are two princes born of Empress Zhonggong, the 23-year-old eldest prince and the 16-year-old fifth prince, and the two princesses are the 15-year-old eldest princess and the 13-year-old second princess.

Under the empress, the most distinguished was Concubine Hui, the head of the four concubines, who was Lin Yuan's great aunt.All daughters from Yingwuhou's Mansion can give birth, and Concubine Hui is no exception.She has two sons and two daughters for Emperor Jiaqing, namely the 21-year-old second prince, the 15-year-old sixth prince, the 13-year-old third princess and the 11-year-old little princess.

The empress and Concubine Hui alone had four sons and four daughters for Emperor Jiaqing. The biological mother of the remaining three princes passed away within a year after giving birth to him, and the third prince was raised in Concubine Shu's palace.Concubine Shu is also the biological mother of the fourth prince, so Concubine Shu can be regarded as the third most noble figure among the concubines in the palace.

The remaining concubines, who have no children or daughters, cannot be compared with these three.

On this day, Zhu Bicong, the wife of Fenyong Houhou, also brought her daughter Qi Yingyu into the palace to meet the queen.Mrs. Lin's status is no higher than that of Zhu Bicong, so the distance between the two of them is a little far away.Therefore, although Lin Yuan saw Qi Yingyu from a distance, she couldn't greet her.

Sitting next to her mother in the hall, she only dared to secretly look at everything around her, and occasionally she would sneak a glance at the empress sitting at the top of the hall.But no matter how many times she looked at it, Lin Yuan couldn't tell if she didn't like the way the palace gave her.

Lin Yuan didn't know how long she had been sitting there, but the queen finally left. She knelt down on the ground with her mother, and respectfully sent the distinguished person away.

Not long after that, a person who looked like a palace maid came to her and her mother, saying that Concubine Hui had invited her, so she finally followed her mother and left this place under the leadership of the palace maid.

When Lin Yuan and Mrs. Lin were invited by Concubine Hui to sit in her own palace, on the other side, Zhu Bicong and Qi Yingyu were also invited by the queen to sit in the middle palace.

To be honest, Zhu Bicong didn't want to go, but there was no way to refuse.As Zhu Bicong expected, after she sat with the queen for a while, that person really appeared.

Zhu Bicong brought his daughter Qi Yingyu to kneel on the ground, saluting the most honorable person in the world in this era.

The bright yellow sleeves were handed to her, as if he wanted to help her up himself.Zhu Bicong dodged, saluted again to thank her, and then stood up with her little daughter.

At this time, there were only three of them left in the palace.
