  Lin Jinyong only heard the voice and knew who it was. She didn't even look up, but somehow she reached out and touched Lu Xian's arm, saying coldly: "Second Brother of the Lu Family, I don't understand what you're saying." Then she turned around and walked away. Before leaving, she glanced sideways at the bamboo forest, where there was no one left - perhaps they had talked enthusiastically and Lin Wu had taken them to other places to play. Why didn't Lin Wu pester Lu Xian?

  However, Lu Jian's words reminded her that she walked to the corner and whispered to Li Zhi: "I'll wait here, you go and tell Da Shu of the Tao family again."

  A good intention but received a cold reception, this is something that Lu Xuan has never encountered before, especially among young girls. This marriage, he also had his own thoughts about it, and it was absolutely unavoidable. The Lin family's daughters were all decent in appearance, the key was to look at their character.

  It's clear that Lin Liu and Lin Qi are arrogant and cruel, while Lin Wu is still gentle and kind. As for Lin Si, although she seemed a bit foolish at first, later on, she appears to be quiet and responsible. Looking at others like Wu Xiang and Lu Lun, they're all willing to help her, which suggests that she's genuine and not two-faced. Due to her own circumstances, she can't stand people who are spoiled by their elders but trample on their own family members. So, she wants to speak up for herself, not to curry favor with anyone. But Lin Si seems to have a grudge against her, and she doesn't know how she offended her.

  Lu Xian slightly furrowed her brow, casting an unpleasant glance at Lin Jianrong's back before turning to enter the building where people were watching the play. As she entered, she saw a mud-stained and dirty-faced Lin Shenzhi carefully holding a plate of longevity peaches, loudly shouting "Grandfather" as he slowly walked towards the elderly Mr. Lin who was chatting and laughing with others.

  Old Master Lin was enjoying himself when he suddenly heard the clear and crisp voice of a child, which immediately caught his attention. At first, he was startled, then burst out laughing: "Little Seventh, what are you doing? How did you end up looking like a muddy monkey, and why have you brought the longevity peaches here?"

  Mr. Lin looked kind at the moment, but he was extremely serious in front of his sons and grandsons on ordinary days. Lin Shenzhi felt a bit nervous, his legs were trembling, and the plate was shaking. Lu Xian quietly supported his plate with a gentle smile and whispered: "Don't be anxious, Little Seventh."

  Lin Shenzhi smiled at him with gratitude, took a deep breath and stammered to Lin Lao Taigong: "Grandma ate the longevity peach, but Grandpa didn't get any." A nearby servant who was aware of the situation took over the plate from Lin Shenzhi's hand. Lin Shenzhi's dirty hands grabbed a longevity peach and were about to feed it to Lin Lao Taigong: "Grandpa, you eat, I heard that eating it can make you live for a hundred years!" As he spoke, his saliva was swallowed loudly.

  "Seventh son, you must not be rude!" Lin San Ye had already heard from Lin Yi about the dispute in the bamboo forest and thought it was just a childish game, so he didn't take it seriously. But now, seeing his young son suddenly rush in with a disheveled appearance, making jokes in front of everyone like a glutton, his face couldn't help but fall, thinking that Tao's family really didn't know how to educate their children, losing face everywhere and causing trouble for him, so he scowled and was about to drag Lin Shen away.

  Lin Shen has always been afraid of his father, subconsciously red-eyed and pitifully leaning towards Old Man Lin, trembling and shouting: "Grandfather..."

  The old man liked to hear people say that he would live to be a hundred years old, and Lin Shenzhi was born with a delicate and lovely appearance, and was the youngest grandson. Although Old Man Lin felt that his grandson's behavior was indeed unbecoming, he also thought that it had its own childlike charm, so he spread out his sleeves and protected Lin Shenzhi, laughing loudly: "Since ancient times, living to be seventy is rare, and living to be a hundred is just something people say to comfort each other! But my good grandson really has a filial heart!" He then pinched Lin Shenzhi's nose and laughed: "This little guy is being greedy, taking advantage of the old man!"

  "Fourth sister said that only after the elders have given their reward can they eat, otherwise they are not allowed to move. They don't allow me to eat." Lin Shenzhi was very straightforward and just rubbed his head against Old Man Lin's chest, refusing to get up. Old Man Lin had no choice but to hold him in his arms and play along: "How did you become like this? Did you crawl around in the mud?"

  "Son, no!" Lin Shenzhi was small, but he also had his own dislikes. He wanted to expose the whole thing that just happened, feeling very unjust. Just then, Lu Jian walked over and bowed with a faint smile: "Grandfather's words are not about my mischievous fifth brother, who brought back a cicada and made all the brothers and sisters extremely happy."

  Mr. Lin was a shrewd and astute person, knowing that there must be some hidden reason behind this, but it's not enough to tell outsiders, so he didn't mind the dirtiness of Lin Sheng, and hugged him in his arms: "Since Sheng wants to eat peaches, let him eat. Grandpa has promised."

  Lin Shenzhi had already brought the longevity peach to his lips, but he restrained himself and fed it to Old Master Lin instead. As the old man swallowed, a faint sound of saliva could be heard. Despite being reluctant to part with it, Lin Shenzhi magnanimously said, "Grandfather, you eat first!"

  Tao Fengtang smiled in a timely manner: "Young Seventh Brother, it's been half a year since we last met, and you've made progress, learning to respect your elders! After your grandfather has eaten, can he bear to give a bite to Eldest Brother?"

  Lin Shen was genuinely fond of his elder cousin who was willing to let him ride on his back, and he smiled slyly: "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you! Grandfather will eat first and then give it to you!" As the fourth sister had said, after entering the house, one must listen to grandfather's words and put grandfather first in everything, no one can surpass him, only then would grandfather be happy. As for elder cousin, he would just have to settle for two big longevity peaches later on.

  Everyone burst out laughing.

  "Isn't grandfather the most important one?"

  Lin Shen didn't answer, he just leaned his head back into Old Man Lin's embrace and gently rubbed against him, blinking his eyes with a shy smile. From fear and worry to the joy of being accepted by everyone, his actions were natural and lovely.

  Mr. Lin also smiled. Although the previous thing must have been done by someone, but this action of Lin Shenzhi was out of nature, and no one could teach it. Mr. Lin's perfunctory show suddenly had a few points of true feelings, he gently patted Lin Shenzhi's head, softly saying: "Grandfather has eaten before, now just eat a small mouthful, to fulfill Xiao Laoqi's filial piety." He didn't mind that Lin Shenzhi's hands were dirty, and really took a bite.

  After seeing her grandfather eat, Lin Shenzhi then fed Tao Fengtang. Tao Fengtang smiled and said: "Alright, I was just teasing you, Brother doesn't want to eat!"

  Lin Shenzhi hesitated for a moment, his dark eyes looking up at Lin San with a flattering expression: "Dad, do you want to eat too?"

  Mr. Lin, who was used to being pampered, looked at his dirty hands with disgust, thinking of the mud and dead insects on them, and felt a wave of nausea, how could he eat now? He waved his hand: "You eat it yourself!" Lin Shenzhi didn't care, leaned into Old Master Lin's arms and started eating the longevity peach sweetly.

  "Hold on, we're a family of scholars, how can we be so rude? Come, take Seventh Young Master down to clean up and change! Lin Old Master gave a signal with his eyes to his trusted servant Fuquan, who led Lin Shenzhi away to clean up without asking any questions. Lin Old Master then chatted idly with the crowd: 'This is my youngest grandson, although he's young, he still understands some filial piety, it's just that he's a bit mischievous...'"

  Everyone naturally flattered again, some praised the Lin family's family style and education, some praised Lin Shen as not being a mediocre person, some praised Old Master Lin's teaching methods... and so on.

  Can they see that Seventh Brother is formidable at such a young age? This is the difference between being born to a wife and being born to a concubine. If he were born to a concubine, he wouldn't be so dazzling until he reached a certain age. Who would praise him like this? Lin Yizhou looked foolish, with a hint of sadness in his heart, but then heard Lu Jian say calmly: "Your fourth sister is still waiting for news from you outside."

  "Ah?" Lin Yizhi turned his head to look at Lu Xian, but Lu Xian had already walked over to the side of Old Master Lu Jianzhong and sat down, as if the previous sentence had nothing to do with him.

  Lin Yizhen was stunned for a moment, then sneaked out to find Lin Jinyong. After leaving the theater, he didn't see Lin Jinyong and his servant's figure anywhere. He thought for a moment, walked around the corner of the house, and saw Lin Jinyong leading Lüzhi, standing by the road talking to Tao Fengtang. The two cousins stood at a distance of about ten feet apart, with faint smiles on their faces, although he didn't know what they were saying, nor was there any improper behavior, but it could be seen that the atmosphere was very harmonious and intimate. That kind of harmony and intimacy was something that couldn't be acted out no matter how hard one tried.

  Lin Yizhen was slightly disheartened, and it goes without saying that Tao Fengtang had gone to inform Lin Jianrong. Didn't Tao Fengtang just help Lin Shen in public earlier? As a person of little importance, he wasn't needed to help with such matters, so he simply stood for a moment before returning to his original position behind Old Master Lin to watch the play.

  Mr. Lin had completely forgotten about what happened earlier, with one hand on the armrest of his chair, gently tapping to the beat, eyes slightly closed, shaking his head and swaying back and forth, with a look of intoxication, floating as if he didn't know anything. Mr. Lin and several old friends saw him in that state during their conversation, couldn't help but frown, and looked away in disgust. The greatest regret of his life was that none of his sons were capable, or rather, they did not meet his expectations, now he could only hope that one of his grandsons would become a talented person.

  Lu Xian had been quietly observing the expressions and movements of the people in the room, and inadvertently saw this scene, specially swept a glance at Lin San Lao Ye, and then indifferently withdrew his gaze.

  Lin Yizhi seized the opportunity and hastily went to Lu's side, whispering: "Lu Erge, I've been there, Tao Jia Gege has already spoken with Fourth Sister."

  Lu Dian smiled ambiguously and didn't say much, just looking at Lin Shen who had been led in by Fuquan with a completely new look.
