Chapter 1

Jiaqing nine years.

It was a very hot day in June, the sun hung high, and the scorching sun made the trees a little wilted, but the handus that were full of the pond were still shining brightly and standing tall.

In the back house of the Lin Mansion, three teenagers were surrounding a middle-aged woman, asking her how she was, and caring endlessly.

"Mother, how do you feel? Is it still uncomfortable? Just bear with me, the doctor will be here soon." The eldest son Lin Xuan said softly to his mother.

The second son, Lin Ye, fanned the woman on the couch with a round fan, and echoed his elder brother, "Mother, how good is this wind? Is it too cold or not enough?"

The voice of the second son here fell, and Lin Yi, the youngest son over there, seemed unwilling to show weakness, and held a teacup to the woman, "Mother, are you thirsty? Drink some water?"

The three sons all had a generally good attitude, which made the woman on the couch both happy and helpless.Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Wang is very aware of her body, there is no major problem at all, and there is no need to worry, but the three sons are all in a hurry.

"Mother is really fine, you don't need to be like this, and you don't need to surround me anymore, you all go back and do what you should do." Mrs. Lin smiled softly and said to Lin Xuan and the three of them, once again trying to give them Persuade.

As soon as Wang's words came out, the eldest son Lin Xuan was not happy at first.

"Mom, you didn't eat anything in the morning. It looks like you have a bad appetite, but just now you retched and vomited sour water. How can we believe you when you say you're fine? Father, this will be the busiest time , it’s not easy to bother you, but we three brothers must take good care of you.”

The second son, Lin Ye, and the youngest son, Lin Yi, once again echoed their eldest brother, "Yes, mother, we will accompany you and wait for the doctor to come and diagnose your pulse."

Mrs. Wang has no choice but to let them go.

Mrs. Lin, Wang, is in her thirties. Due to proper maintenance, she looks only in her twenties, and there is a bit of mature charm in her face, which is quite charming.

She has been married to her husband, Lin Hai, for seventeen years. The two have been sweet and loving since they got married. It has never changed for more than ten years, and the two of them have hardly ever blushed or quarreled.

The Lin family has a family motto, "You can take a concubine only if you have no children at forty."

Within two years of their marriage, Wang and Lin Hai had their eldest son, named Lin Xuan, who is now fourteen; within three years, they had a second son, named Lin Ye, who is now twelve; She was pregnant once, and she conceived successfully in October and gave birth to her youngest son, Lin Yi, who is now ten years old.

The three sons all look a bit like their father, Lin Haiduo. They are all upright, with handsome faces, as gentle as jade, and their relatives and friends all praise them when they see them.

With such three sons, although she did not enjoy the blessing of both children, Wang is very proud and satisfied.Lin Hai and Wang are in love, and they have three sons. Jia Zhai Xinghe has never thought about taking concubines, and the harmony between husband and wife has continued until now.

Six years ago, when Lin Hai's official career was smooth, the old lady of the Lin family passed away because of her poor health. Lin Hai took his wife Wang and three sons back to their ancestral home to observe their filial piety.After three years of filial piety, Lin Hai was reactivated and assigned as Taiyuan Shaoyin to work with Liu Taishou.

Liu Taishou has a clear style of governance, and Lin Hai has learned a lot during the three years with him.Three years later, the prefect Liu was promoted to the capital to serve in the imperial court. With the strong recommendation of the prefect Liu, the position of the prefect fell to Lin Hai.

It hasn't been long since the next prefect of Taiyuan has settled on Lin Hai's affairs, so Lin Hai has been busy handing over all affairs to the former prefect Liu in the government office recently, quite busy.

The three sons saw that their mother felt a little uncomfortable today, and they all consciously assumed the responsibility of taking care of Wang, and did not send anyone to disturb Lin Hai.

"The doctor is here!" The youngest son Lin Yi said happily when he heard the servant's report.The eldest son Lin Xuan greeted him in two or three steps, and Lin Ye and Lin Yi followed to welcome the doctor in.

The doctor was taken aback by their anxious looks and the battle of all three of them coming out to greet him, thinking that the servant who had come to invite him didn't say it was a particularly serious illness.

When being hugged and walked into the house, the doctor heard chattering words such as "My mother threw up a lot this morning", "My mother didn't eat anything this morning", "I vomited all acid water" and so on. , hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, the three young masters, and wait for me to diagnose the pulse of the lady."

When the doctor was diagnosing Mrs. Lin's pulse, the three of Lin Xuan stood aside, all of them had serious faces and only stared at the doctor's expression.The doctor frowned, sighed, or concentrated, any slight move affected their thoughts.But now they are very quiet, not noisy.

After careful pulse diagnosis and repeated confirmations, the doctor finally said with a smile, "Madam is fine, but I should say congratulations, Madam is happy."

The eldest son, Lin Xuan, is already 14 years old, so he naturally understands what the doctor means by "you are happy". The second son, Lin Ye, and the third son, Lin Yi, are both ignorant and don't understand why they say congratulations. They only know that the doctor said they The mother is fine, but she feels fine and still vomits and vomits.

Mrs. Lin knew it well at first, but now that the doctor's pulse diagnosis has completely affirmed her thoughts, she still feels a little pleasantly surprised.After all, she is in her thirties... her youngest son is ten years old, and she never thought that she could be pregnant.

After ordering her personal maid to reward the doctor with money, Madam Lin was already a little tired.Seeing this, Lin Xuan quickly retreated with her two younger brothers so that Mrs. Wang could have a good rest.

Lin Ye and Lin Yi were still a little dazed.The doctor said there was nothing wrong, so he prescribed another prescription; the eldest brother was also very concerned about his mother, but now he has nothing to say, what happened to their mother?
After coming out of Mrs. Lin's yard, Lin Ye asked the doubts in his heart, and Lin Yi also looked at his elder brother curiously.Lin Xuan smiled mysteriously, "Second brother and third brother, we will have a younger brother or a younger sister soon."

Lin Ye and Lin Yi suddenly looked at Lin Xuan with eyes wide open in surprise.

When Lin Hai came back from the yamen, it was rare for his three sons to stand in unison at the gate of the mansion waiting for him.Looking at the joyful expressions on their faces, Lin Hai couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Why did you come to the gate of the mansion to meet daddy today?" Lin Hai smiled and stepped into the gate of the mansion.The three of Lin Yi followed and surrounded Lin Hai.

"Congratulations Daddy, congratulations Daddy." As the eldest brother, Lin Xuan said first.Then Lin Ye and Lin Yi echoed loudly, saying, "Congratulations!" Everyone's faces were full of smiles.

Lin Hai still had a faint smile on his face, and asked, "Why do you like it?"

"Daddy will soon have another son or daughter, wouldn't it be a happy event?"

Hearing these words for the first time, Lin Hai was surprised and happy, but kept calm on his face, "If that's the case, then we should be happy together!" After finishing speaking, Lin Hai, who seemed to be calm, was walking fast. Very quickly, went to Wang's yard.

Jiaqing ten years.

In March, several peach blossoms in the backyard of the Lin Mansion were in full bloom, but no one appreciates them this time.

Outside the delivery room, the three teenagers were restless and waiting anxiously.They looked around the delivery room for a while, but naturally they couldn't see anything, and then looked up at the gate of the hospital, but they still couldn't see their father Lin Hai.

After a while, Lin Hai, who was still wearing the official robe of the prefect, finally rushed over.Today, there was an urgent matter to deal with, and I couldn't leave him, so I hurried back, and finally came back.

Lin Hai was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his back, but his expression was still calm and calm, only his panting revealed his anxiety at this moment.

The 33-year-old Mrs. Lin is undoubtedly an advanced mother. The doctor said that she should be more careful when giving birth.In fact, even if it is not an advanced maternal age, for most women, childbirth is a round of hell.

Because the old lady passed away and the younger brother and sister-in-law were too far away, there was no safe person in the family to take care of Wang.Unfortunately, Wang's sister-in-law was inseparable, and in the end it was Wang's younger sister who rushed over from the capital more than a month ago.

Before that, the best stable woman in Taiyuan had already been invited by Lin Hai.He did not refuse the experienced nanny sent by his mother-in-law.But no matter how well prepared, there is no way not to worry.

From time to time in the delivery room could be heard muffled groans of pain from Wang, and Lin Hai and his three sons standing outside the delivery room were all gripping their hearts.Until a certain moment, the baby's immature crying sound could be faintly heard in the delivery room, and everyone knew that the baby should have been born smoothly.

But Lin Hai didn't relax, his heartstrings were still tense.After a while, Lin Hai's sister-in-law, Lin Xuan and others' aunts came out, and said to the four of them with a smile, "Mother and child are safe, mother and child are safe, don't worry." He also said, "Congratulations, brother-in-law, a daughter."

It wasn't until this moment that Lin Hai finally had a smile on his seemingly calm face.In an instant, the smile spread, reaching the corners of his eyes and brows.

He has a daughter, 37 years old, approaching the age of [-], he finally has a daughter!Lin Hai was dizzy from the happiness of this happy event.

Lin Xuan and the others laughed after hearing what their aunt said, and looked at each other happily, "Do we have a younger sister? Do we have a younger sister?" Seeing his aunt nodding seriously, Lin Xuan and the others became even more excited.

"Second brother, third brother." Hearing the eldest brother calling them, Lin Ye and Lin Yi looked over, "Since we are brothers, we must love, care for, and cherish my sister in the future, you know?"

Lin Ye and Lin Yi nodded solemnly after hearing the words, "Brother, it is necessary, that is our only biological sister."

Seeing his three sons like this, Lin Hai smiled deeper.His younger brother has a prostitute, who was the most interesting and cute when she was a child. How cute will his little daughter be?

Thinking of the lively life in the future, Lin Hai yearns for it.

It was not easy to have a daughter at the age of [-]. Both Lin Hai and Wang cherished this daughter very much.The three older brothers are all in their teens, and they have a sense of being an older brother. There is no reason not to love and dislike this much younger sister.

Prefect Lin and Mrs. Lin carefully chose a name for their daughter. The names of the elder brothers are all two characters, and the same is true for the young daughter of the Lin family, with a single name of "Yuan".

There is a note in "Shuowen", "Yuan, beauty is also supported by people. Congnv, Congyuan, Yuan, Yuye." "Erya" also writes-"Beauty is Yuan." "Ji Yun " also wrote, "'Yuan' and 'Yuan' have the same meaning. Yuan refers to beautiful women and also refers to beautiful jade.

When naming their daughter, Prefect Lin and Mrs. Lin asked the little daughter’s opinion fairly—after they agreed that the name was good, they called out to the little daughter who was lying on the bed, spitting and playing with bubbles, “Sister Yuan! Son", Lin Yuan gave a big smile.

By this time, the daughter of the Lin family, the jewel in the palm of the Lin family, had a name.

The birth of Lin Yuan brought a lot of joy to Taishou Lin, Mrs. Lin and the three elder brothers. In this harmonious and happy day, two years seemed to fly by.

The year Lin Yuan was two years old, Lin Hai also served as prefect for almost three years.

Lin Hai has been serving in Taiyuan for six years. From Shao Yin to the prefect, his performance in the six years has been good. Compared with Liu prefect, it can be said that he is better than blue.

Therefore, when Lin Hai's three-year term of office was about to expire, the imperial court issued an edict announcing him to enter Beijing, which obviously meant to promote him.It has been nine years since the old lady of the Lin family left the capital.

After waiting for so long, it finally came to this day. When the news came out, Lin Hai was very excited, and Wang was also very excited. Even the three sons were all happy for their father.

Lin Yuan, who was only two years old, didn't understand these things, but seeing her parents and brothers were very happy, and they were also smiling and clapping their hands cheerfully, making everyone even more amused.

After more than a month, the new Taiyuan prefect finally arrived, and Lin Hai began to hand over affairs to him.The Lin family also got busy packing up their things, making preparations for their return to Beijing soon.

On this day, the genius was gray and bright, and Lin Hai, Mrs. Wang and their three sons had already woken up and washed up.Lin Yuan was still young, so she was still asleep at this moment, and no one tried to wake her up.

After everything was confirmed to be in order, several carriages quietly set off from the gate of the Lin Mansion, left Taiyuan and rushed to the capital.In the carriage, the little Lin Yuan was held in Madam Lin's arms, still sleeping soundly.
