The sun is just right, the sky is high and the clouds are clear.
Lin Tianheng stood at the highest point of the county city, on the tall building of the main residence of the Lin family, overlooking the bustling county city. He felt quite emotional for a moment. The city was really becoming more prosperous year by year.
A man in black robe stood respectfully behind Lin Tianheng, like a stone statue, more like a shadow, it was Lin Junying.
This new house of the Lin family was awarded by the late Emperor of Qi after Lin Tianheng broke through the Grand Master. It covers an area of more than 600 acres and is the current headquarters of the Lin family. Most of the Lin family in the county and city live here.
This high-rise building was built under the leadership of Lin Junhao's father, Lin Jianliang. It has sixteen floors and offers a view of half of the county. It also symbolizes the power and status of the Lin family in Lingchuan County.
Lin Tianheng glanced down and saw a group of juniors practicing martial arts in the Lin family's martial arts field. They were full of energy, especially the little ones who were using swords. They were all in high spirits and looked like they had been pumped.
Ever since they heard this morning that their ancestor had personally bestowed a profound swordsmanship, and that they might be appreciated by their ancestors after learning it, the little ones were gearing up one by one, trying to learn the swordsmanship passed down by their ancestors in the shortest possible time.
, fighting for the opportunity to meet Lin Tianheng.
The Lin family's juniors under the age of fifteen have a dedicated instructor who teaches swordsmanship. The instructor who teaches swordsmanship has not yet shown up. The juniors who are learning swordsmanship are like a bunch of primary school students waiting for class. Most of them are waiting obediently.
However, there are also people who whisper to each other.
"Brother, do you think the swordsmanship given by our ancestors will be difficult?" asked a girl in gorgeous clothes. She was holding a dagger in her hand, and the scabbard was inlaid with several gems, which were shining brightly.
"So what if it's difficult? With your brother and my talent in swordsmanship, I must be the first to learn it." The young man in brocade clothes who is half a head taller than her next to the girl said energetically, showing a strong look of confidence in his every move.
Their facial features are quite similar, so they should be siblings.
"After my brother learns it, he must teach me." The girl looked at the young man with admiration in her eyes, obviously full of confidence in her brother.
"That's natural." The young man nodded and happily accepted his sister's admiring gaze.
At this moment, Lin Tianheng noticed a thin figure sneaking in through the door.
This is a little girl who looks to be only eight or nine years old. She is wearing coarse cloth clothes that are worn by the lowest servants in the house. She holds a dagger wrapped in coarse cloth tightly in her arms, as if this dagger
It's like a rare treasure.
The little girl cautiously approached the square formation where the sword training disciples were, and stood quietly at the end. After standing still, she lowered her head. Not only did she not say hello to anyone, she didn't even make eye contact.
When the little guys next to her saw the little girl arriving, they subconsciously distanced themselves a little away from her. Everyone looked like they didn't want to get close to her, and many even had disdain and contempt in their eyes.
Thanks to Lin Tianheng's efforts, the family tradition of the Lin family is still good. Although everyone does not like the little girl, they are very restrained. There is no such thing as face-to-face humiliation. Only a few whispers are inevitable.
"Brother, that guy is here again. You said she runs around with a wooden sword every day. She doesn't even have a decent sword, and she doesn't know how to practice swordsmanship." The girl from before complained to the boy.
"Okay, please stop saying a few words. In terms of seniority, we still have to call her aunt." The young man frowned slightly and scolded the girl.
The girl stuck out her tongue, but she didn't take it seriously. Anyway, for some reason, she just couldn't stand this so-called sister-in-law.
The little girl seemed to have been accustomed to all this for a long time. She just stared at the dagger in her arms, as if everything else had nothing to do with her.
The sword in the little girl's arms was indeed made of wood, but she still cherished it very much. If there was no scabbard, she would wrap it in coarse cloth and regard it as a treasure.
Lin Tianheng frowned when he saw this scene. This little girl was obviously a junior of his Lin family. Otherwise, she would not be qualified to come to learn martial arts and swordsmanship. However, her treatment was not even as good as most of the servants. This is really a success.
How decent!
"Go and check the identity of that child." Lin Tianheng ordered Lin Junying.
"Yes." Lin Junying took the order and quickly obtained the little girl's information.
"This girl's name is Lin Ziqing. She is now ten years old. She was born to the second wife Lin Junwei and his maid Meng after he got drunk. Because Lin Junwei's first wife Liu was strong and domineering, the life of Meng's mother and daughter has been quite difficult over the years. Lin Ziqing
Because of his humble background, he was discriminated against by other young masters and ladies, and he never even practiced physical training. Because of his passion for swordsmanship, he was allowed to come and observe." Lin Junyinghui reported.
"Bastard!" Lin Tianheng cursed in a low voice, and Lin Junying's head immediately lowered.
"I've said it so many times, what a bullshit background! I, the Lin family, should treat everyone equally, there is no distinction between high and low!" Lin Tianheng said angrily, this is what he always demands from his juniors.
It's just that everything has its pros and cons. Lin Tianheng values talent and ability and ignores the distinction between direct descendants. Although many useful talents have emerged, it is also the root cause of the rise of Lin Jianli's lineage and has laid the foundation for division.
The root of the problem.
Moreover, even if Lin Tianheng does not pay attention to the distinction between direct descendants and concubines, can the juniors still do this? It is obviously impossible.
Lin Tianheng's sons may be able to achieve some things under his words and deeds, but as for the ladies they married, this kind of thing is deeply ingrained in their bones.
Unless the entire world and the entire system are changed, even if Lin Tianheng is the ancestor of the Lin family, his efforts alone are not enough to completely change everything.
Hearing this, Lin Jun's eyes flashed with light, and his respect for Lin Tianheng grew even stronger.
The hierarchy in feudal society was always very strict. If it weren't for Lin Tianheng's open-mindedness, Lin Junying, a servant's son, would never have achieved the level of cultivation and achievements he has today. For Lin Tianheng, he was grateful and respectful from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you want your subordinates to send someone to notify Lin Junwei of this matter?" Lin Junying asked. After saying this, he felt that he had gone too far and lowered his head to wait for Lin Tianheng's instructions.
"No need for the moment, let's take a look." Lin Tianheng waved his hand, not caring, and turned around to continue looking at the martial arts arena.
At this moment, the instructor teaching swordsmanship has arrived, and the juniors gathered in a circle, waiting for the instructor to teach the "Dugu Nine Swords".
Lin Ziqing was still squeezed out at this time. She was short and could only catch the coach's figure in the gap between the two with difficulty.
"Lin Ziqing, come to the front." Before the instructor began to teach the sword, he specifically called Lin Ziqing's name and called her to the front.
Seeing Lin Ziqing slowly squeezing to the front with her head lowered, the instructor sighed helplessly in his heart. He knew the girl's situation, so he would take special care of her every time. However, Lin Ziqing was still used to hiding behind, leaving him helpless and could only do it every time.
It happens every time.
As everyone knows, it was the instructor's special care that made Lin Ziqing even more ostracized by others.
"This swordsmanship does not require internal strength, it only tests understanding. I hope you can seize the opportunity." The instructor took a deep look at Lin Ziqing. He knew that Lin Ziqing was a good candidate for practicing swordsmanship. This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If
If he could seize the opportunity to win the appreciation and love of his ancestor, it was Lin Ziqing's turn to take the lead.
When Lin Tianheng saw what his coach was doing, he nodded slightly. It seemed that his Lin family had not drifted away from the villain family after all.
"This leader's name is Lin Zixin. He is a concubine of four brothers. He is considered the unlucky one in the clan, so he may be more aware of Lin Ziqing's feelings." Lin Junying said at the right time. He had not just checked the information about Lin Ziqing.
.
"If he has real ability, if you have the chance, help this little guy more." Lin Tianheng said casually. Lin Junying nodded and secretly remembered the name.
Of course, Lin Zixin had no idea how much opportunity his casual act of kindness today would bring him in the future.
