The Lin clan leader looked at Lin Wanwan up and down for a while, and suddenly became excited: "You... you, you! Is your father's name Lin Yousi? Is your mother the daughter of the Xiao family of Nanliang?"
Lin Mengjin said in surprise: "She is really the daughter of my Lin family? Is she Uncle Yousi's daughter?"
What could Lin Wanwan say? Of course it was just another lie about living in seclusion and forgetting the past.
"You mean, you were separated from your family, and then you followed your master to live in seclusion in the mountains? Which mountain did you live in seclusion? What was your master's name?" Patriarch Lin asked repeatedly.
Lin Wanwan took a step back and said slowly: "I don't know the name of Master. He often said that since he is a hermit, there is no need to leave a name. As for my parents, I don't remember them. I was too young back then. However, I have a moment.
I wonder if the bracelet with the words on it counts as a token."
After saying that, he took off a gold bracelet from his right hand and handed it to Patriarch Lin.
Patriarch Lin wiped his hands on his clothes before taking it and taking a closer look. This bracelet is in a minimalist style, with the brand logo engraved on the outside and the words Lin Wanwan on the inside. This was specially customized by Lin Wanwan at the modern Chow Tai Fook store some time ago.
Yes, just for this moment.
Patriarch Lin didn't actually know a few words, but he happened to recognize his own surname, so he quickly recognized the word "Lin" and directly asserted: "Yes, this is Lin, you are the daughter of the Lin family, that's right
.Your father is definitely Yousidi. As for your mother-in-law, it is not wrong that she is the daughter of the Xiao family. You look like a replica of her. Now that you have found the clan, you should first settle down in Linjiazhuang.
"
Patriarch Lin's words hit Lin Wanwan's fancy. Traveling back thousands of years, the Lin family still felt a sense of belonging, so she immediately thanked and agreed.
Patriarch Lin returned the bracelet to Lin Wanwan. The reason why he was so sure was because in the first year after his marriage, when Lin Yousi, the direct descendant, brought Xiao's bride to the ancestral hall to worship, Patriarch Lin and everyone else saw him.
After passing the Xiao family, I was astonished as a heavenly being.
In fact, she didn't see her appearance clearly at all. She was overwhelmed by the ladylike demeanor around her and her emerald green hair and luxurious dress. And Lin Wanwan, who was also dressed in this way, was exactly the same as her.
After preconceptions, Chief Lin firmly believed that Lin Wanwan was their daughter. What's more, the Lin family village was in a remote and remote area, which was not a good place. How could such a noble girl dressed in silk clothes, who was so stuffed with food, come to blindly identify her relatives? Surely.
It's the daughter of the Lin family who can't be wrong.
The direct descendants were displaced during the war in the previous dynasty and their whereabouts were unknown. Now seeing the slim Lin Wanwan and the little Qingyu clinging to her side, Patriarch Lin could not help but sigh.
In fact, after Lin Yousi worshiped his ancestors, their side branches and direct branches completely branched off, and each had its own clan leader. The direct branch was a noble clan, while their side branches were just farm workers and fishermen.
But things changed, and who knew that in the end the whereabouts of the direct branch were unknown, but it was their side branches that survived the war and passed on to the new dynasty because they were located in a remote and remote area.
Because they had known that Lin Wanwan would be coming at the end of the month, Lin Mengbo's family also rushed to the patriarch's house with their two children to stay with them. One of the children was Da Ya whom Lin Wanwan had saved using the Heimlich maneuver.
"Wan Niang, we don't have anything good. This is a bag of jellyfish blood that I dried myself. It can be stewed into soup to improve the flavor. It is something that the nobles outside like to eat. Take it and try it." Lin Mengbo directly carried a big bamboo.
The basket contains the jellyfish blood he mentioned.
Lin Wanwan knew that jellyfish blood, also known as jellyfish clothing, was very valuable. In modern times, a piece of this quality would be sold for 2,100 kilograms, but here it is probably four to five kilograms.
However, compared to the other thing in the big bamboo basket, this jellyfish clothing worth nearly ten thousand is nothing.
"This large yellow croaker was caught two days ago when we went out to sea, and I want to give you a taste." Lin Mengbo said.
Lin Mengbo got this fish in exchange for giving up other fish catches that month. The clan goes to sea together, and the fish catch is usually divided according to contribution.
Lin Wanwan took a look at the large yellow croaker, which was half the length of a human. It must have weighed hundreds of kilograms! Such a wild large yellow croaker must be worth more than one million in modern times.
Lin Wanwan was embarrassed to accept it, and immediately said: "I'm so embarrassed for such a good thing. You can use it to sell it to make money to buy something good for the children."
Lin Mengbo said quickly: "Wan Niang, you saved my life. If you still refuse such a thing that is not worth the money, then I will be ashamed."
"Not worth the money?" Lin Wanwan opened her mouth slightly. The difference in price over the past thousand years was really huge!
But yes, large yellow croakers were not very valuable in the modern 1980s and 1990s, let alone the Tang Dynasty a thousand years ago. The reason why wild large yellow croakers are valuable in 2022 is all because of overfishing, which has led to scarcity.
expensive.
In the end, Lin Wanwan accepted the thank-you gift full of gratitude. As a return gift, Lin Wanwan opened the box and gifted an eight-piece kitchen set.
Lin Wanwan smiled and laid out the kitchen kit, introducing one by one what it was and how to use it.
There are four condiments here, filled with salt, brown sugar, chicken essence, and pepper; there are also four bottles filled with olive oil, black bean sauce (soy sauce), mature vinegar, and cooking wine.
Glass was also available in the Tang Dynasty, and the Western Regions had glass-making technology, so Lin Wanwan was not afraid to take it out. As for the seasonings, it didn't matter. They wouldn't be taken outside anyway, and they would be eaten soon.
Lin Mengbo, Lin Qin, and Patriarch Lin's family were shocked when they saw what she took out.
Lin Qin quickly declined: "This, this, this, sister Wan, how can we bear this? Put it away quickly, put it away quickly!"
Lin Wanwan said casually: "Master made the salt himself by drying it with sea water, and other things were also made by Master himself. The glass bottles and pepper are imported products. There are many in the Western Regions, and they are not rare. If you are not willing to accept them,
If you give me a gift in return, then I can’t accept your big yellow croaker.”
Lin Mengbo and the others were all shocked by Lin Wanwan's attitude of refusing to take any advantage, but in the end they refused to accept the whole package.
Mrs. Lin Qin hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, definitely not! You are my family's lifesaver. I haven't repaid you yet, so how can I accept such a valuable thing from you?"
In the end, after refusing, each of the six households present was given one. As for the ones containing pepper and olive oil, they were very valuable at first glance, so no one was willing to take them, so they gave them back to Lin Wanwan.
Lin Qin sighed: "You and the old fairy lived such a fairy life! What kind of glass bottle is this? Just like gems, I have never seen such a beautiful thing in my life. There are also oils and chicken essence, grandma! I
I’ve never heard of it! How can this salt be so white and fine? It even has brown sugar and pepper! Those are good things that only noble families eat!"
