Chapter 119: Family.

林景元:……祖母和大姐之前还剑拔弩张的,随时要决裂的样子,怎么突然就转了风向,还聊上了。

林蓁蓁:……说好的管教呢?怎么看起来反倒像是祖母被林晏晏管教了?

Wei Yuewan: It seems that if you want to establish a firm position in the Hou Mansion, you must absolutely not offend Lin Yannan. Lin Yannan is too cunning in her methods. She first asserts her dominance, letting you know that she is not easy to mess with and reveals her boundaries. Then she turns hostility into friendship, making you feel that she still respects you deep down and giving you a sense of comfort. At the same time, she presents irresistible temptations. That's why she is able to gain the upper hand effortlessly.

In comparison, Lin Zhenzhen is really terrible, she only knows how to exchange tears for sympathy.

Oh... the combined number of people in the second and third houses is still no match for Lin Yannan alone.

"Mother, good news, good news..." Lin Zhongkun hurriedly stepped into the door.

As soon as he entered, he saw his mother talking to Lin Yannan, while his own daughter stood on the side wiping away tears.

Lin Zhongkun was taken aback and asked Lin Zhenzhen, "What's wrong with you again?"

The word "again" in this sentence clearly showed impatience.

Lin Zhenzhen said in a resentful tone, "It's nothing."

She had always refused to admit that she was inferior to Lin Yannan, believing that she had just been unlucky. But now, Lin Yannan had become a princess, gaining the favor of the emperor and the empress dowager, while she had become a discarded woman, constantly relying on others' goodwill to survive. How could she compete with Lin Yannan? Who could she rely on?

The more I think, the more depressed I feel.

Lin Zhongkun bypassed his daughter and asked Lin Yanyan, "Yanyan, has His Majesty appointed you as a princess of the county?"

Madam pointed to the imperial edict on the tea table and said with a smile, "Here, the imperial edict is here."

Lin Zhongkun kowtowed three times in front of the imperial edict, then respectfully picked up the edict and read it word by word, unable to hide his joy: "Yan Yan, you've done a great job! Why didn't you tell us earlier that you had taken Hu Guangzhi as your master and went to the palace to treat the empress dowager's illness? Second Uncle even thought it was because your maternal grandmother was unwell and wanted to ask a colleague who was going to Yangzhou to bring some tonics for her!"

Lin Yannan knows that her second uncle is saying nice things and wants to give a gift to her grandmother. She wonders why he didn't think of it when he went to Yangzhou. She can't be bothered to argue with him.

"I didn't mention it because I was afraid you would worry. After all, this matter is risky, and my master doesn't have full confidence in it," Lin Yannan said with a smile.

这么怕事儿的祖母和二叔,不拦着她才怪,即便不拦,愁也要愁死了。

“你太小看你二叔了,你二叔是这么经不得事儿的人吗?陛下点名让你师父去给太后治病,便是相信你师父的医术。再说了,给太后治病是为陛下分忧,不管冒多大风险,都应当的。”林仲坤说的大义凛然。

Lady Laofu nodded, "Your second uncle is right, Yanyan, from now on, when you have something to do, make sure to inform the family."

Knowing that the Empress Dowager still remembers her, cares for her, even if she closes her eyes at this moment, she feels the ultimate glory. Where else would she be afraid of taking risks? Yanyan has smoothly earned the title of county princess, hasn't she?

"Indeed, it's such a great joy, but as your second uncle, I had to hear about it from others. It's a bit unfair," Lin Zhongkun jokingly said.

He hasn't felt so proud for a long time. Ever since the incident between Zhen Zhen and Zhu Ziyu, he has endured countless ridicule and contemptuous glances for over a month. But today, his colleagues came to congratulate him one after another and praised his niece for her abilities. Although she is his niece and not his own daughter, when people talk about her, they still refer to her as Lin Zhongkun's niece, which brings him a sense of pride.

It should be noted that the Hou Mansion has produced numerous princesses throughout the 270-plus years of its establishment, and Lin Yannan is the first one.

Furthermore, the Empress Dowager also bestowed the Empress Dowager's decree upon Yannan. As far as he knows, apart from Princess Xinyang, Yannan is the only one in the entire Da Sheng Dynasty who possesses the Empress Dowager's decree.

Yan Yan can be said to have boundless prospects. His second uncle might even benefit from Yan Yan's success.

"Second uncle, I don't know what rewards His Majesty will bestow. Previously, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty asked me what reward I wanted. I said it was my duty as a court lady and declined any reward. However, the Empress Dowager bestowed on me the imperial decree, which I considered to be a great reward. I never expected that His Majesty would decree me as a county princess."

"Yan Yan, well said, very well said. It is your selflessness and sincerity in taking on the worries of your Majesty as your own responsibility that have won his favor, and that makes him even more inclined to reward you generously," praised Lin Zhongkun, clapping his hands.

The old lady nodded constantly, thinking that Zhong Kun's analysis was extremely accurate.

When Lin Zhenzhen saw her father so happy for Lin Yanyan, she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart and quietly walked away.

魏月婉看着林蓁蓁落寞的背影,心里默默:林蓁蓁心高气傲,可惜没有本事支撑她的骄傲,如果她不能正视自己的问题,要想翻身,难。

Shortly afterwards, Mr. Lin, who had heard the news, rushed back. The Lin family gathered in the ancestral hall to pay their respects to their ancestors and placed the imperial edict on the altar.

Zhou prepared a feast in the kitchen as a celebration.

所以,林晏晏和林景元回到墨渊阁时天都黑了。

“姐,今天真是太痛快了,好像又回到了父亲还在的时候,林家上下都围着长房转,你看平日子动不动就吹胡子瞪眼训人的二叔,全程笑脸,看你那眼神,比看自己亲闺女还热切。”林景元兴奋道。

林晏晏幽幽道:“那是因为这份荣耀是他们想忽视都无法忽视的,景元,如果一个人,在你落魄无名之时对你冷眼相看,在你风光之时笑脸相迎,那么他们的恭维和称赞无非是觉得在你这有利可图,不见得有几分真心。相反那些在你失意之时不离不弃,在你得意之时默默为你高兴的人,才真正可敬,值得深交。”

"Sis, I understand."

“不管怎样,他们都是咱们的亲人,他们是真心还是假意,咱们心里有数就行,该据理力争的时候据理力争,该退一步就退一步,面子上肯定要过得去,不能闹的太僵。”

"Got it, sis."

"The most important thing is to excel on your own, only when you have the ability will others trust and rely on you. You'll be going to school tomorrow, study hard."

"Oh, alright!"

"Hurry back and study."

"Sister, then I'll go back to my room first."

When Lin Jingyuan left, Jinxin finally found the opportunity to talk to Miss.

"Miss, Fourth Miss came to Moyuan Ge earlier and said she wanted to paint, but she ran out of Xuan paper. At that time, Fourth Young Master was called by Madam for a lecture, so I took her to the study and let her grab it by herself. As expected, Fourth Miss stole the formula. Later, Fourth Miss returned with Xuan paper, saying she had chosen the wrong one and wanted to exchange it, so the formula was put back in its original place."

Lin Yannan sighed, these are her relatives! They always manage to disgust you.
