Xue Ling thought for a while and whispered: "A Chong's senior is the only son of the Lin family, the Lin family in the north of the city."
Cheng Tianyuan has been in the imperial capital for many years, and is naturally no stranger to the nobles of the old imperial capital. He has heard about the legendary "Lin Family" for a long time.
"Oh?! No wonder you can engage in art buying and selling, you are so powerful!"
Xue Ling changed into her pajamas and rubbed her face, which was stiff from the cold.
"A Chong probably didn't know his identity in advance. He only knew him as a senior in their school."
Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "Xiaoxin has been with Master Qi all year round and is familiar with the old nobles in the imperial capital. The third child has been living in the studio since junior high school. The only people he comes into contact with are his classmates and his own family. How could he possibly know the Lin family?
.Even if someone introduces himself, he probably won’t recognize him.”
Xue Ling let out a low "hmm" and looked at the ceiling in a daze.
Cheng Tianyuan opened a corner of the quilt and slept next to her.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you thinking about? Don't worry. Ahu and I will take care of our mother at home. You can take care of the third child until he is discharged from the hospital. There are many people in our family, so we can always spare some help."
The so-called "there is strength in numbers" can come into play at critical moments like this.
Xue Ling smiled and whispered: "I'm thinking about that Lin Qingzhi... He is really a talented person with a dignified appearance. He doesn't look particularly handsome, but his facial features are as gentle as jade and his temperament is very good. I have met many people,
He is the only one who can have such an extraordinary temperament at such a young age. He is worthy of being a descendant of a large family. Only with a deep foundation and a solid foundation can we raise such an extraordinary man."
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, then narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Daughter-in-law, this is the first time I hear you praise someone so highly."
Xue Ling snuggled into his arms and let out a comfortable breath.
"This is not a compliment, but he is indeed like this. When you have the opportunity to meet him, you will find that I am really right. None of our children have the same temperament as him. Every move he makes is noble and generous, and he is calm and composed. Our children
Comparing it with others, it’s just...not to mention heaven and earth, but the gap is very obvious."
It's not that she, as a mother-in-law, is dissatisfied with her children, nor is it that she belittles herself, it's just the fact.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled bitterly: "We are ordinary people who have worked hard for decades to provide a slightly more comfortable environment for a few children, that's all. We are different. Our ancestors are all famous royal nobles!"
Counting back several generations, his ancestors were all rural people who were illiterate.
So far, he is the most educated person.
"There are not many families who can survive in the strong winds and waves." Xue Ling closed his eyes and murmured: "Our Xue family is the kind of wealthy family that cannot bear it. The Lin family is aloof, but they can survive the stormy changes independently.
Not to mention it’s truly amazing.”
Cheng Tianyuan was not very familiar with the old history of the imperial capital. He occasionally heard his old father-in-law talk about it, but he could no longer remember it so clearly.
"The Lin family has a very deep background and has always been very low-key. In addition, they don't have many industries in the imperial capital. They have always opened an antique shop and did big business with tens of millions or hundreds of millions but no big news. They are not accessible to ordinary people.
It can’t be seen or touched, so the younger generation basically doesn’t recognize it.”
Xue Ling thought for a while and whispered: "My third uncle knew the Lin family in the past and had some contacts. Later, my third uncle passed away. The two cousins are both ordinary and honest people. I guess they didn't dare to come to the door to establish a relationship or contact them."
It’s broken.”
Cheng Tianyuan was a little sleepy and couldn't think clearly.
"...Oh, forget it then."
After a pause, he regained some sense: "We are all ordinary people. Let's forget that A Chong made a mistake this time. We still have to keep a certain distance from others in the future."
Xue Ling asked funnyly: "The distance is too big? Or is it something else? Don't think like an old man. Young people today, especially those of A Chong's age, don't have any sense of family status? Besides, this is modern society.
The practices of the feudal era have long been abolished.”
"No, but the gap is too big." Cheng Tianyuan chuckled: "Don't help others count their money after being sold out all of a sudden. Our third child is a typical good boy, and we are not smart either. It is better to do something real.
.”
"...Hmm." Xue Ling couldn't help but think of the gentle look in Lin Qingzhi's eyes when he looked at his youngest son tonight, and felt frightened in his heart. "The gap is too big. Just be casual acquaintances, not close friends."
Cheng Tianyuan patted her shoulder lightly and whispered: "Tell the third child later. Go to sleep. It's already very late."
Even if they go to bed late, the two of them still have to get up early and go to the elderly person's room to help them get up, dress and wash themselves.
Cheng Tianyuan was okay, Xue Ling only slept for three hours last night and looked very bad.
Seeing that their daughter looked strange, Xue's father and mother quickly asked what was going on.
After all, the matter of the third child cannot be concealed within a day or two, so Xue Ling had no choice but to tell the truth.
The two old men immediately became anxious and insisted that they would follow their daughter to see the third child.
"It was so cold yesterday, and I wanted to stop him when he wanted to go out. Oh...why didn't you stop him? Poor San'er!"
"A broken bone is a big deal. Don't think it is a trivial matter. You must pay enough attention to it. No, we still have to see it with our own eyes, otherwise we won't worry."
Xue Ling quickly stopped and coaxed: "I'm not lying to you. It's really just a slight bone fracture. Just tie it up with a wooden frame. You should be discharged from the hospital and go home in a few days. Won't you see us then? It's too cold outside
, you can’t follow.”
"Anyway, there is heating in the car and in the hospital ward, so you don't have to worry about being too cold."
"That's right! We only had a small kang at home when it was frozen three feet. Didn't we carry it over? Don't tell us any nonsense about it being too cold outside. We are not afraid at all!"
Xue Ling couldn't laugh or cry: "Dad, Mom, you were all young before, are you still the same now? The temperature outside has dropped again, it's six to seven degrees below zero!"
"What's wrong?" Dad Xue patted his chest confidently: "I am born in the 1980s now, and next year I will be born in the 1990s. My body is a little bit older, but my mind is young."
Xue Ling, born in the 1960s: "..."
Xue Yang laughed loudly: "Mom, since grandpa and grandma are going, just agree to it. Anyway, there are elevators over there, and there are heaters everywhere, so it won't be cold anywhere. If you keep shaking your head, the young and elderly people born in the 1980s will
Angry!"
Wang Xiaoxiao hugged the child and coaxed her, and said with a smile: "Yes! The hospital is a place with many people coming in and out, and the road must be kept dry for a long time, so it should be relatively safe. Mom, please let Uncle Chen drive you all there.
"
"Okay, let's put on our shoes." Two elderly people, Le Diandian, who called themselves "post-80s generation", walked forward hand in hand.
Xue Ling shook his head helplessly and laughed dumbly.
