A life of ups and downs is pure joy

"Third sister, these Ligustrum lucidum fruits, radish seeds and white mustard seeds are all plant fruit seeds, which need to be sealed in jars. The motherwort and isatis indigotica over there belong to the stem and leaf category and should be stored in wooden boxes." Lin Qinghuan looked at the Ligustrum lucidum fruits in the wooden box and repeated it helplessly to Lin Qingyi beside her. The big enemy looked at her innocently.

"These herbs look and smell similar, it's really hard to tell them apart." Lin Qingyi sat down on the wooden box and simply threw them all to Lin Qinghuan.

"Okay, both of you go inside and rest for a while." Lin Mo brought a pot of hot soup and called them over.

"What is this? It smells so sweet, with the fragrance of osmanthus." Lin Qingyi leaned over the table and smelled it, then said with her eyes closed.

"Snow pear and apricot stewed with osmanthus candy is a great soup that dispels cold, moistens the lungs, and relieves phlegm and coughs. I brewed this osmanthus candy myself."

"It's delicious, Sister Mo. You are so good at both housework and housework. Which young man in the Dasheng Dynasty can marry you? You are not even eligible to enter our Lin Mansion." Lin Qinghuan took a sip of the sweet water. It was so delicious that she couldn't help but praise Lin Mo.

"Hey, Yier, have you noticed that after Qinghuan's health improved, even her mouth has become more eloquent than before." Lin Mo looked at his sick sister helplessly and said to Lin Qingyi.

"I don't know if it's me or Huan'er, but I've noticed that Sister Mo has started to like joking around too," Lin Qingyi said proudly. She stood up and stretched, "Qinghuan, where's Hongqi?"

"Hong Qi? Hit me and you'll know where she is." Lin Qinghuan looked around and said jokingly.

"I understand." Lin Qingyi listened carefully and heard some movement on the roof of the main hall. Lin Qinghuan glanced sideways and found Hong Qi lying lazily on the eaves of the roof. In a blink of an eye, he saw Lin Qingyi climbed up at some point.

"Oh, Fourth Miss, please come down quickly. Why are you climbing so high?" Madam Zhou, who was basking in the sun in the courtyard of the neighboring Lingzhu Garden, shouted in horror.

"Oh, I didn't know the scenery up here was so beautiful before. I can even see my big brother's yard." Lin Qingyi stood up straight, shielding the dazzling sunlight with her hands, and looked into the distance.

"What is big brother doing?" Lin Qinghuan asked curiously in a hoarse voice.

"Big brother seems to be doing something with someone. Hmm, I can't see clearly, but it's not An Cai. Who is this?" Lin Qingyi squinted her eyes for a long time. Suddenly, she put her hands to her mouth and made a trumpet shape, shouting, "Big brother, big brother, big brother."

The two girls below looked at her in surprise. She was indeed an extraordinary girl. Fortunately, the distance was still a bit far. Apart from the two people in the yard, no outsiders could hear her loud voice.

"Qinghuan, do you want to come up and play? I can ask Hongqi to go down and pick you up." Lin Qingyi stood on the eaves of the roof with a proud look on her face, and said to Lin Qinghuan with her hands on her hips.

"Fourth sister, please be careful. If it really falls, it will knock over Sister Mo's herbs." She shouted with a smile.

"Do you want to come up? It's okay with Hongqi here." Lin Qingyi kept waving to Lin Qinghuan, and it was simply hard to refuse such kindness.

Finally, with the help of Hongqi, Lin Qinghuan also climbed onto the roof carefully. When Nanny Zhou saw her standing on the roof, she was so scared that she couldn't speak. She called out to the people in the yard to catch her with their hands. As expected, the noisy sounds in the yard attracted Lin Yuzhi from Jinghe Hall. He saw Lin Qinghuan, Lin Qingyi and Hongqi standing on the roof playing from afar, and was so scared that he left his young master and hurried to Lingzhuyuan.

"Daddy, it hurts, wuwuwuwuwuwu..." Lin Qingyi shrank back after being hit by the stick and cried pitifully, "It's all Qingyi's fault, Daddy, don't hit Huan'er with the stick, and don't blame Hongqi, wuwuwuwu. Mommy, it hurts..." Lin Qingyi cried and wanted to take the blame.

"Daddy, stop hitting my third sister. I wanted to go up there to play." Lin Qinghuan stepped forward and hugged Lin Qingyi to stop Lin Muchang from hitting her on the hand. Hongqi was also taken away by her grandmother and punished for taking them to play dangerous games on the roof.

"Normally I wouldn't have scolded you for being naughty and misbehaving, but now you've gone so far as to take Qinghuan up to the roof to play. Why don't you just go up to heaven?" Lin Mutang saw that Lin Qinghuan had been hugging Lin Qingyi tightly, and both of them were crying. He could only angrily throw the ruler to the ground, turned around and pointed at He Su, and said angrily, "Look at you, what a bad daughter you have taught."

"Tell me, how could you be so confused? In such a big Lin Mansion, you go fishing, chasing chickens, playing polo, and do anything else that is not more fun than going up to the roof. And now you even bring Qinghuan to tear off the tiles. I, your mother, don't want to speak for you anymore." He Su angrily picked up the ruler on the ground and hit Lin Qingyi with it several times. She twisted and turned in pain. Seeing this, Lin Qinghuan knelt down to protect Lin Qingyi. He Su was so scared that she hurried over to help her up, fearing that the fragile girl would faint or get hurt again.

"Daddy, Madam He, please stop hitting my third sister." Lin Mo also knelt beside him with his head down and remained silent. Lin Qinghuan cried and begged for mercy for Lin Qingyi. Lin Qingyi cried even louder when she saw Lin Qinghuan like this.

"Okay, you won't be satisfied until all the children cry themselves sick." Grandmother stepped in, stepped forward and snatched the ruler from He Su, and Hong Qi followed silently with her head down.

"Mother, Yi'er is too naughty. She has gone too far... What do you think we should do if Huan'er is hurt?" He Su couldn't help crying. It hurts the mother's heart to hit her child. She always felt sorry for her own daughter, but if she didn't use a self-torture trick, she would be influenced by Chang Xinrui, that slutty maid.

"Yier, Huaner, Moer, grandma asks you, do you know you are wrong?" The old ancestor asked seriously while sitting on the armchair.

"Grandma, Yi'er was wrong. It has nothing to do with Huan'er and my second sister. Please don't blame them." Lin Qinghuan really admired Lin Qingyi's magnanimity of taking responsibility for her own actions.

"Grandma, Huan'er is just too playful. If she wasn't so persistent, my sisters wouldn't allow it, and Hongqi wouldn't dare either." Lin Qinghuan also used her trump card, pretending to be pitiful and crying, looking at her grandmother with tears in her eyes and aggrieved look.

"As the elder sister, Mo'er didn't stop it. Grandma and Daddy should punish Mo'er." Lin Mo said in a low voice with her head down.

"Hehe, you, you, you are acting like sisters, but you make your father look like a villain." Lin Mutang pointed at his daughters helplessly, then turned around and looked at Lin Ancai, "What are you doing here? Have you finished your studies?" Lin Ancai had a look of despair on his face, as if to say, what does it have to do with me? Is it a crime to watch the fun?

In the end, Lin Qingyi was grounded for a week and was not allowed to play with knives or guns for two months. Lin Qinghuan and Lin Mo verbally criticized him, and Lin Mutang left angrily with the boy. Before Lin An left, his expression was like that of a bullied person.

Hong Qi probably got beaten with a stick. She silently accepted the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine that Lin Qinghuan got from Lin Mo. Chu Xia wanted to help her apply the medicine, but was thrown out. Everyone was curious whether Hong Qi was a girl.

In Jinghe Hall, Lin Yuzhi was sitting on the chess couch playing chess with the young man opposite him. The situation between black and white pieces was in a stalemate, but in the end, the white piece won.

"Yuzhi, your heart is not in this game of chess?" The young man in black clothes had clear facial lines, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. There was a cold and noble temperament between his eyebrows. His slender eyes were looking at Lin Yuzhi with a smile.

"Jun Ze, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. Although my sister is naughty usually, she wouldn't go so far as to tear down the roof. I don't know why she acted so crazy today." Lin Yuzhi touched the jade pendant on his waist and said embarrassedly to the person in front of him.

"These sisters are very cute, and quite special. General Lin's daughters are definitely different from the ordinary girls. Hahaha..." In my life of more than twenty years, this is the first time I have seen unmarried girls climbing onto the roof to play, and they are the two daughters of the Lin family. They are much more interesting than the girls in the palace.

"Junze, let's not talk about this for now. Over the years, I have met many ambitious young people. One of them is a poor student named Li Duo. Although he is not good-looking, he is well-read and talented. He is indeed a talent." The two of them were thinking a little bit and rearranged the plates to prepare for another game.

"Yuzhi, if this person is not an ordinary person, he will definitely make a difference in Kyoto one day if he passes the imperial examination. Now my father is deliberately trying to force the Crown Prince and my third brother to fight in public. I have been good friends with my third brother since childhood, and I am biased towards him. The Crown Prince has always had close ties with the Xiao family. Kyoto is going to be very lively soon."

The fourth prince Ning Junze landed his white piece on the ground, but unknowingly found himself surrounded by the black pieces. It seemed that someone was thinking outside the box again.

"Junze, your heart is not in this game." As Lin Yuzhi put down the black piece, another game of chess ended.

"No more playing, no more playing chess. It's been hard to beat you since we were young." Ning Junze stood up, stretched, took the tea handed to him by the maid next to him, smiled gently at the little maid, and the little girl lowered her head shyly and ran out.

"Oh, by the way, when I came to Luofeng City, I heard that you have a younger sister who hasn't left the Lin Mansion for more than ten years. Rumor has it that she is ugly. How could your Lin family's genes produce such a girl?" Ning Junze suddenly remembered the gossip among the people.

Lin Yuzhi, who was drinking water, choked on his tea and started coughing when he heard this ridiculous remark.

"Who spread such a ridiculous statement? Qinghuan, hahahaha, if Qinghuan heard it, she would probably cry like a pear blossom in the rain and be unreasonable." Lin Yuzhi thought of Lin Qinghuan's angry face and couldn't help laughing.

"Are you talking about Qinghuan? I remember the last time I saw her, she had just learned to run. She should be a grown-up girl now. Except for being sickly when she was a child, she was very cute. How come she has become ugly now?" Ning Junze still remembered the twin girl, a boy and a girl, who had been Lin Yuzhi's follower since they were young.

"Jun Ze, this statement is too absurd. How can Qinghuan be called ugly?" In Lin Yuzhi's heart, Lin Qinghuan was the cutest and most beautiful. Now he didn't know who was slandering her so maliciously.

"Hahahaha, anyway, I haven't seen the little girl. Whether this rumor is true or not, you will know after meeting her." Ning Junze looked at Lin Yuzhi with a smile. The younger brother of the Lin family always favors his sister.

"Tomorrow at noon, Daddy will hold a banquet to welcome Junze. Then you will be able to see my ugly sister who is rumored to be ugly." Lin Yuzhi said with a smile.

In the Chen Mansion, Chen Jingshu was drinking alone under the first moon of the year, with Lin Yuzhi's appearance in her mind. "Brother Yuzhi, Jingshu has liked you since childhood. Why are there so many people competing with me for you?" After saying that, she gently took a sip of the cold wine in the glass.

"Second Miss, cold wine is harmful to your health, drink less!" Cuifen, the maid next to her, stepped forward to dissuade her.

"Cui Fen, you don't know how sad I feel today." Chen Jingshu took another sip, a tear of love slid across her pretty smiling face, and she looked pitiful.

"Second Miss, those rumors seem to have spread." Cuifen looked around and leaned over to speak in Chen Jingshu's ear.

"Okay, I got it. You can go down. I want to be alone for a while." Chen Jingshu waved her hand, and Cuifen bowed and took her leave.

The moon tonight is very round and bright, just like the night when Chen Jingshu first met Lin Yuzhi. Although she was still young at that time, she decided to marry him at first sight.
