Chapter 5 The Family Has Seven Fairies

From the beginning of literacy, Lin Qingran felt that time passed quickly. Every day, her father would set aside an hour to teach her how to read. The eldest sister and the second sister in the family did not start to read at the age of five. She started learning at the age of three, and her father taught her. Extra serious.

At first, Lin Wenxi was worried that she would not be able to keep up due to her young age, so she lost her pace.

After two months of teaching, he found that his daughter was learning much faster than he expected. The children in the family are actually very smart, but Xiao Wu is more outstanding and speaks early. I've had a lot of conversations with you, and now that I've read Chinese for two years, she can hold a simple book by herself and watch it for two hours.

Five-year-old Lin Qingran wore simple braids and sat there writing, very serious.

The sixth younger sister, Lin Qinglan, sat obediently next to her, looked up at her elder sister's writing without disturbing her, and played with the little paper crane that Lin Qingran just folded for her yesterday, making a 'wow' sound in her mouth.

On the small bed surrounded by one side was Seventh Sister, who was just over nine months old. The little guy didn't like to be idle, holding on to the railing with both hands, walking around with support, and shouting at Lin Qingran.

Lin Qinglan picked up the little paper crane for her sister to play with, and Xiao Qi grabbed the paper crane and squeezed it into a ball, grinning, wanting to put it in her mouth.

The nanny who was taking care of it quickly took the paper crane out of her hand. Xiao Qi still wanted to grab it, but she patted the railing with her little hand and kicked her legs. One of them couldn't hold on and sat on the small bed.

As if frightened by his sudden sitting down, Xiao Qi stared blankly at the nanny, then at her elder sister, for a while, her mouth shrunk, her brows frowned, and she was about to cry.

Lin Qingran put down her pen and called out to her, "Yueyue."

Xiaoqi turned her head and looked over, the tears were already in her eyes, Lin Qingran looked at her, covered her face with her hands, let go, looked at her with a smile, closed it again, let it go again, after a few times, The little guy smiled hehehe with tears hanging down, showing his small front teeth, and grabbed the railing with his little hands and remembered again.

Lin Qingran also finished writing a copybook, and put it aside to wait for her father to come back in the evening to read it. She went to the side of the crib and pulled her sister's hand. With this pull, Xiao Qi became more active, using both hands and feet, wanting to crawl Come out and play with my sister.

The advantage of having more sisters in the family is that you will not be lonely. When Lin Qingran was young, she had four older sisters to accompany her. Now Xiao Qi has six older sisters.

What Lin Qingran admired most was her mother. The seven girls in her life could make up the seven fairies in the fairy tales.

There was a sound at the door, Mother came back, followed by the eldest sister, the eldest sister who had already engaged in marriage, just passed Jiji last month, today Mother took her to go shopping, the date of marriage is scheduled to be in the spring of next year, It's already September, and I have a lot to buy, and I have to make a lot of reds.

The one who was betrothed to the eldest sister was father's first student, the eldest son of the second wife of the He family in Luodu City.

She had heard from her mother's few words that many families in the Lin family were different from those in Luodu City. Shi is favored, knowledgeable, and has a thick father-in-law. His waist is not thick, but it is strong enough.

Anyone who wants to be a student under his father's school is simply because the Holy Master likes his father. Being a disciple of his father, at least he can get acquainted with him. In the future, it will be smoother in the officialdom under the name of his father's mentor.

And the He family, one of the six families in Luodu City, didn't have the same intentions. Not only did they send their son here to be a teacher, but now they still want to marry the daughter of their benefactor and go back to make more kisses.

Seeing that there were more people in the room, Xiao Qi became happier, babbling and talking to herself, when Mrs. Lu picked her up, she rushed towards Mrs. Lu's face and smeared her face with saliva.

Lin Qingran walked to the elder sister and asked softly, "Eldest sister, have you met the second son of the He family?"

Lin Qingyi blushed, embarrassed, poked her on the forehead, and scolded her, "Why do you ask this?"

She just wanted to know if this was not in the ancient times of 5000 years in China, was it also a blind marriage, and she had never seen each other before getting married. .

Lin Qingran said sweetly: "My father said how good and smart his students are, I don't believe it."

The whole family knew that the fifth younger sister was very eager to learn, and her reading posture was no weaker than that of boys, so Lin Qingyi told her, "I met her once from a distance, but I didn't talk to her."

Lin Qingran was a little disappointed. Even if she reintegrated into this world, she still adhered to certain concepts of modern people. She only met once before marriage and didn't say anything. What if it doesn't fit after marriage? Could it be that she just lives like this? , and then watch her husband go to love the concubine, and become a boudoir and dissatisfied woman?

If it was her, it really couldn't be done.

Five-year-old Lin Qingran looked at the shy look on her sister's face, and began to worry about what kind of person she would marry in the future

At the end of September, the osmanthus flowers in the garden were in full bloom, and the Lin family had guests.

The eldest aunt brought three sons and a daughter to see grandma.

It happened that mid-October was my grandmother's birthday, so my eldest aunt planned to stay until my grandmother's birthday.

Grandmother is very happy when the eldest aunt's family arrives. She brought three grandchildren in a row. How can she not be happy? On the left is her own grandson, and on the right is also her own grandson. The eldest brother has reached the age of marriage. I didn't like it yet, and when Lin Qingran and the others went to say hello, between the lines, they talked about the eldest sister's marriage.

The Chen family is not uneducated, but they have only read characters for a year. In Lin Qingran's opinion, they are either illiterate, purely illiterate, or recognize more.It's really funny to be like the eldest aunt, who only knew her for a year, but felt that she had some knowledge and wanted to show it off to everyone she saw.

At this time, Mrs. Chen just picked up some of the people she had inquired about and said to Mrs. Liu, "Mother, the He family that this eldest girl is betrothed to is a well-known family in Luodu City. The marriage that this little uncle found for his daughter is not bad Really nice."

Although she doesn't like her granddaughters, but in marriage, Liu still insists on marrying well. Hearing Chen's words, she didn't feel the sourness in her, so she nodded, with a sense of evaluation Inside, "The six families in Luodu City are not bad, and the daughter of our second child is naturally worthy of it."

"That's right, it's our Xu Tao, who will be eighteen after the new year, and we haven't even settled on a marriage." Chen said with a sigh, "Mother, you know, our family is different now, His father opened a shop in the town, and the nearby shopkeeper wanted to tell us Xu Tao his daughter, but it is not a good match, Xu Tao's uncle is a high-ranking official."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu said, yes, the eldest grandson's marriage has not been found yet, how could this happen, "there are not a few good families in this town."

Mrs. Chen looked embarrassed. There are several good families in the town, but in the final analysis, those good people look down on them. This will make Mrs. Chen complain a little bit about her uncle, "I want my uncle to come forward and say goodbye to Xu Tao, anyway Is it my nephew?" The second half of the sentence, Mrs. Chen, took it easy and said nothing, her daughter is married, and in the future she will have to rely on her nephew for the elderly, a good marriage doesn't even bother, so what kind of uncle.

The grandson's marriage must be more important than the granddaughter's in Liu's eyes. Liu looked at Chen immediately and said, "When Wen Xi comes back, I'll tell him that he doesn't care about my nephew's marriage."

Lin Qingran was listening on the sidelines, and looked up at the eldest brother. The spirit of this eldest aunt's family is really not ordinary.
When Lin Wenxi came back at night, Mrs. Liu specially called him over. Speaking of Lin Xutao's marriage, Lin Wenxi refused without hearing a few words, "Mother, you are not asking your son to use his power to force others to marry Xutao."

Liu's eyes widened, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you be forced? It's their luck that they got involved in our family's marriage!"

Lin Wenxi had no choice but to say, "Mother, I really want to get married, I have already sent someone to my eldest brother to tell him, do you know that Xu Tao has a second uncle who is an official? , I went, not to force something, or to use officials to coerce people, and when the news spreads, I, Lin Wenxi, will bully others."

This time Mrs. Liu didn't listen to him, and her face was a little ugly, "Why are you pushing and procrastinating when my mother asks you to help me now? Help, I forgot that your eldest brother is still working as a carpenter outside on New Year's Eve in order to support you to study, so it is so difficult for you to tell Xu Tao a better marriage!"

"It's not difficult to talk about a good marriage." Lin Wenxi had a headache, and continued her words, "But whether this marriage is good or not is up to me or my mother."

Mrs. Liu was startled, "Of course it's only after we talked about it together!"

It's useless to say too much, Lin Wenxi said directly what he meant, "It's impossible for my eldest nephew to marry an official woman, but marry someone who is well-matched, that is, a girl from a better family in the town, if my sister-in-law is interested Of the other families in the town, you don’t need to tell me, mother, my son will not be able to be an official anymore. If mother thinks the marriage the son said is good, the son will let the elder nephew do it. If he thinks it is not good, the son will also I can't help it, sister-in-law is thinking about letting Xu Tao marry the princess or marry a big wife." He didn't dare to think about it when he was in the middle of the year.

Seeing that her son was getting a little angry, Liu's anger also weakened, "What you said about Xu Tao seems to be bad, so he is also your nephew anyway."

"How good it can be." Lin Wenxi couldn't help but his expression darkened, "He didn't want to let him study back then. My sister-in-law was afraid that he would study hard, so she didn't continue to study. She was so ambitious, and it took three days to fish and two days to run the shop with my elder brother. Tell me how good he is for posting on the net." This old man is still idle, he really doesn't want to get involved in this matter, according to his way of doing things, he is so unprogressive, don't marry him, he will harm other girls.

"That's better than your seven daughters, anyway, he's a son!" Liu's temper flared up again when he heard him speak so impolitely about his eldest grandson, "You gave birth to one, so you can stop your old lady and me! "

I don't know where Mrs. Liu wanted to go wrong, and suddenly came up with another sentence, "Since the daughter-in-law can't give birth to a son, and your sister-in-law has three sons in a row, why don't you let your sister-in-law have another one, and the adoptive will continue the incense for you, and the adopted Jia'er Yes, he is still young and smart, so he is also the blood of our Lin family."
