It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!

She told Lin Zhihe every detail of the Lin Mansion's events.

"So, the Second Madam quarreled with the Third Madam over a red tourmaline, so the Second Madam and the Third Madam don't get along. Don't talk to them both at the same time."

Lin Zhihe, who was listening nearby, began to get confused and couldn't help interrupting Xiao Taohong, "You said that the Second Madam was born the daughter of a military commander, so she's not favored, right?"

Before Xiao Taohong could speak, Liu Li began to refute, "You are wrong. The Third Madam is the daughter of a military commander, so she is not favored."

"It's so messy!" Lin Zhihe complained subconsciously.

"Master, the messiest part hasn't come yet." Xiao Taohong said sternly.

"What?" Lin Zhihe couldn't help but raise his voice, his face full of disbelief, "What could be more chaotic than Lin Yingchen's five wives, four concubines, three daughters and seven sons?"

"Probably a dozen uncles, dozens of cousins ​​and their sisters-in-law, and a dozen cousins ​​and their brothers-in-law."

...

After Xiao Taohong said this, she stuck out her tongue, and then began to comfort her, "I know all of these, I can help you identify them."

Liu Li carefully held a booklet with a neatly drawn diagram of the Lin family's relationships, and showed it to Xiao Taohong, "Taohong, can I draw this?"

Xiao Taohong scratched her head and said, "It's a bit reluctant..."

I don’t want to learn it anymore!

She lay back on the chaise longue. There were so many messy relatives, and she had to remember their ranking, who was at odds with whom, and which children they had. Moreover, there were no photos of these people, so she had to rely on Xiao Taohong's description.

"You just said that the Third Madam has willow-shaped eyebrows and a cherry mouth, but doesn't the Second Madam also have willow-shaped eyebrows and a small mouth? Do they look alike?"

Xiao Taohong shook her head. "They don't look alike at all. You'll know once you see them."

Lin Zhihe let out a long sigh. It would be better not to learn this. It would be even more confusing. She couldn't tell who was who at all.

Seeing Lin Zhihe's frustration, Xiao Taohong's voice was a little timid, "Master, are you going to continue?"

"Speak." Liu Li spoke before Lin Zhihe.

"Just tell me what you are talking about. Let the master have a rest." He took out a storybook from the bookshelf and stuffed it into Lin Zhihe's hand. He did not forget to pour her a cup of tea and put it next to her. Then he took out his Lin family atlas and discussed it with Xiao Taohong.

The Lin family has been prosperous for three generations up to her. Oh, if you count Taotao from my second sister's family, then there is even the fourth generation.

Such a large family is prosperous and populous, not to mention it is a family of officials. In addition to blood relatives, there are also those relatives who are connected by fate. Liu Li’s book may not be able to cover them all.

Reason told her that she should listen to Xiao Taohong's training class at this time, but she had lost her reason now.

Moreover, in Xiao Taohong's training class, there was a type of student who asked a university teacher to highlight the key points. The teacher smiled and picked up a book, cleared his throat and said: "All the contents of this book are the key points."

"Master, wake up."

The familiar voice sounded in my ears again.

"Did I fall asleep?" Lin Zhihe yawned.

"Go back to bed, it's getting dark."

"That's great. If I can't sleep next time, I'll ask Xiao Taohong to tell me a story. It will definitely help me get hypnotized." Lin Zhihe yawned again.

"No, I'm nervous." Lin Zhihe lifted the curtain from the carriage and stuck his head out to look at Liu Li who was riding a horse outside.

Liu Li looked around and saw that there were people hurrying around, so he whispered, "Master, it's okay. Taohong and I are with you, nothing will go wrong."

Lin Zhihe sat in the swaying carriage, feeling uneasy as the carriage swayed. He didn't even have the interest to look at the scenery along the way.

This was her first time leaving the palace, her first time escaping from that square cage!

She originally wanted to wait until the evening before setting off again, hoping to escape for a while. However, the Empress was very "considerate" and thought that she was eager to return home, so she sent a eunuch to give her a pass to leave the palace early.

The arrow is on the string and must be fired.

"How long will it take to get there?" Lin Zhihe poked his head out again.

"Soon." Liu Li only answered with these two words.

...

After driving for about thirty minutes, the carriage slowly stopped. It should have arrived at the Lin Mansion.

Sitting in the closed carriage, Lin Zhihe could feel the bustling crowd and noisy noise outside.

Xiao Taohong lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out, "Master, we're here."

Speaking of which, among the three of them, she, as the owner of the Lin Mansion, was here for the first time.

Just as Lin Zhihe heard in the car, there were indeed many people coming and going at the door. Some were going out to purchase things, while others were coming from other mansions to give gifts to the Lin Mansion. There was an endless stream of people, and it was very lively.

"Master, this is Steward Lin." Xiao Taohong reminded her softly in her ear.

Before Lin Zhihe could say anything, the housekeeper Lin came over with a kind smile, "Miss San, you're back. The lady has been waiting for you in the house for a long time!"

Huh? You want to see your grandmother right away?

"Quick, Miss Huan'er, take the third lady to the old lady's room." Butler Lin looked at Liu Li, then pointed at a little girl standing in the corner.

The little girl, who was about six or seven years old, looked at them timidly, but when she heard the instructions from housekeeper Lin, she came towards them skipping and jumping.

Liu Li grabbed the little girl's hand and touched her head, "Master, this is my niece, Liu Huan."

"Huan'er, this is the one..." Liu Li was suddenly stuck, not knowing how to let Liu Huan address Lin Zhihe.

"Follow the rules of the Lin family and call me sister." Lin Zhihe looked at the little girl.

It turned out that this was the blood of Brother Liu Li, the little girl she asked to change her name last time. She looked at the little girl's eyebrows and eyes carefully and found that her lips and jaw were very similar to Liu Li.

"Which Huan?" Lin Zhihe also touched the little girl's head.

"A new look."

A new look, that's good. Liu Huan said goodbye to her past, how could she not be a new look?

"Uncle, sister, I'll take you to the lady's room." Although Liu Huan was a little shy, he took the initiative to hold Lin Zhihe's hand and led her forward.

What a considerate child! If it weren't for Liu Huan, she wouldn't know where to go.

This was her first time to come to the Lin Mansion, and also her first time to experience the luxury of the Lin family, an official family.

The pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings in the courtyard made Lin Zhihe dizzy and he couldn't take it all in.

The last time I saw such a large building was when I visited the Forbidden City.

Speaking of the Forbidden City, Lin Zhihe couldn't help but compare the imperial palace of the Great Xia Dynasty with the Lin Mansion.

The Imperial Palace lost to the Lin Family Compound, so you don’t need to feel inferior.
