Early the next morning.
After Yin Lianyi woke up, a pale arm emerged from the quilt, and she reached for the mobile phone next to the bedside table in a daze.
Last night was her and Lin Sanqi's authentic wedding night. They played a little too much. Taking advantage of their youth, they had sex seven times in one night and fell asleep only after being exhausted.
"Oh, it's already 10 o'clock."
When Yin Lianyi saw the time on her phone, she was shocked and sat up straight.
Lin Sanqi was also woken up instantly and asked in panic:
"What's wrong? Is your husband back? How about I hide?"
Yin Lianyi rolled her eyes at her husband and said with disdain:
"What kind of old joke are you talking about? Look, it's already 10 o'clock and I haven't even offered tea to my parents yet. Damn it, I'm going to make a fool of myself on the second day of my wedding."
After saying that, Yin Lianyi jumped off the bed naked and frantically looked for her clothes.
When Lin Sanqi heard that it was a tea ceremony, he instantly relaxed and lay back down.
"Alright, alright, I told my parents yesterday that we're exhausted after a long day and definitely won't be able to get out of bed the next day, so the tea ceremony will probably be around noon.
Don't worry, your parents-in-law are very easy to talk to, and your sister-in-law is not the kind of person who would gossip. Come, honey, let's do it again on such a beautiful morning."
Yin Lianyi continued to look down on him while putting on her clothes:
"Hey, Mr. Lin, are you still able to eat? Stop bragging and get up quickly. There will definitely be a lot of guests at home today. You will be laughed to death."
Lin Sanqi had no choice but to slowly get out of bed.
There is no need to think about it. Since my family became rich, even if we are rich in the deep mountains, we have distant relatives. Those relatives from my grandmother's family and my aunt's family who are not related to me at all have come.
Of course, Lin Sanqi also didn't object to relatives coming to visit.
My mother, Wang Wenjuan, has officially retired and stayed at home since the group grew. It’s a good thing to have someone to chat with every day to relieve my boredom.
Anyway, there is a nanny at home, so I don’t have to cook or take care of the house, and I don’t have to worry about tiring my own mother.
The newlyweds took another shower and dressed up, and it was almost 11 o'clock when they went downstairs.
Fortunately, Yin Lianyi is naturally beautiful, so she can solve the problem with a little light makeup. If she had put on heavy makeup, it would take at least two hours to take it off.
Sure enough, when Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi came out of the elevator, they found that the living room was already full of gossips.
When a group of middle-aged women saw the newlyweds with nervous expressions, they all covered their mouths and laughed softly.
Lin Sanqi scratched his head: "Hey, Mom, everyone, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I overslept and forgot to wake Ayi up."
Wang Wenjuan quickly smiled and came to the rescue of her daughter-in-law:
"I understand. Ayi works day and night at the company and has almost no holidays 365 days a year. It's normal for her to take a few days off during her wedding."
A nanny next to her joked:
"Qizai, Ayi, please let your mother have a grandson soon."
Hehehe~~~
Seeing the good atmosphere, Yin Lianyi felt a little relieved and joked:
"Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely expand the Lin family as soon as possible."
Good~~~
There was another round of applause from everyone in the living room.
At this time, a nanny who was acting as a matchmaker said:
"Alright, alright, Asen, come here quickly. Your son and daughter-in-law are going to serve you tea."
Lin Bingqiao also came down from the building at this time, and she found the scene a bit strange:
"Didn't we already offer tea in the ancestral hall yesterday? Why do we need to offer tea again? Is this tea really that delicious?"
The matchmaker was not annoyed, as she knew that this was the eldest princess of the Lin family, whose status was high and she could not afford to offend her, so she smiled and explained:
"The tea ceremony for newlyweds is a traditional one to express gratitude to their parents for their upbringing and to formalize family ties. The tea served at the ancestral hall yesterday was actually drunk by your grandma on behalf of your ancestors.
Today's tea ceremony at home is the official way for your sister-in-law to become a member of your Lin family. If your parents-in-law drink it, it means they have officially accepted her. If they don't drink it, then things will get out of hand."
Southerners attach great importance to this sense of ritual.
After Lin Musen and Wang Wenjuan sat down, Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi knelt down. Yin Lianyi held the tea in both hands and respectfully served it to the father-in-law first.
"Dad, please have some tea. May you live a long and healthy life."
Lin Musen took the teacup with a big laugh, took a sip, then took out a red envelope and handed it to him.
Yin Lianyi handed the tea to her mother-in-law with both hands:
"Ah Ma, please have some tea. May your youthful beauty remain forever."
Wang Wenjuan was also delighted and took out a red envelope and gave it to him:
"Good, good, good! My son Qizi is able to marry such a smart, capable, and beautiful wife. It must be a great blessing from his ancestors."
Lin Sanqi knelt on the side and almost laughed out loud.
I thought that my ancestors had done a lot of good deeds. My grandfather and great-grandfather, who had long passed away, made a friendly guest appearance and bought up jade and antiques all over the country back then, which created the current wealth of the Lin family.
After the toast, when the Lin family relatives were about to chat about family matters, a nanny came over and said:
"Doctor Lin, there are a few people outside who claim to be experts from the Palace Museum who are here to visit."
Even though the Lin family lives in a village in the city, the billionaire is still very concerned about public security issues, so the security work is actually tight on the outside but loose on the inside. There is a security team on standby next to the Lin residence at any time.
So it’s not that the Lin family is showing off by requiring guests to register. The truth is that if anyone is allowed to come in and out as they please, the danger level will skyrocket.
When Lin Musen heard that they were from the Palace Museum, he didn't quite understand the situation, but Lin Sanqi knew why the other party came.
"Then please let the experts from the Forbidden City come in. Oh no, I'll go and greet them myself."
Lin Sanqi was actually quite disgusted in his heart. It was certain that something bad was going to happen when the other party came. It was always the Palace Museum that took things from other places. If the cultural relics were given to them, the most they would get was 500 yuan + a banner.
But Lin Sanqi had met this group of experts from the Palace Museum yesterday, many of whom had white hair, so he could only greet them out of courtesy.
"Mr. Feng, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, welcome, welcome."
Feng Xingxian held Lin Sanqi's hand and said with a smile:
"It's fake to welcome an unwelcome guest, but I, an old man, still shamelessly come here. I hope Director Lin won't kick us out later."
Lin Sanqi thought, you still came even though you knew about this?
But as a respectable person, one can only say respectable things, so he smiled bitterly and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in first."
When the few of them walked into the Lin family's living room, the women had already left and gone to the small living room next door to chat.
As a result, when Feng Xingxian entered the living room and saw the antiques used as decorations by the Lin family, his eyes widened instantly and his pace unconsciously quickened a bit.
He picked up a bottle and exclaimed:
"Is this a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain painting of Zhang Liang picking up shoes? Wasn't this bottle broken in 1968? How did it end up in your house?"
Before Lin Sanqi could answer, Old Expert Zhang picked up another vase nearby with trembling hands:
"Is this a Song Dynasty blue-glazed plum vase with a white dragon pattern? That's not right. Yours is even bigger than the one in the Yangzhou Museum, and the dragon has five claws. This one was used by the Song Dynasty emperor. How come you have it in your hands?"
The Yuan Dynasty blue-glazed plum vase with white dragon pattern is the treasure of Yangzhou Museum and is included in the national list of cultural relics prohibited from being exhibited abroad.
Lin Sanqi wanted to explain again, but suddenly Old Feng rushed towards the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall and exclaimed:
"Is this Huang Tingjian's 'Luolian Ming'? No, no, I remember it was burned in 1972. How did it end up here with you? This, this, this can't be fake."
Mr. Feng said to the people around him:
"Look, there's a little soy sauce mark on the corner of this Luolan Inscription. My master accidentally dropped it there when he remounted it in 1960, so this calligraphy is definitely authentic.
That's not right. I'm not sure about other things, but I saw this Luoyan Inscription thrown into the fire and burned with my own eyes. I was heartbroken at the time. How come it didn't burn? Was it replaced by someone else? "
Lin Sanqi burst out laughing and thought of a famous internet meme: I own one piece from the Forbidden City.
At this time, another expert from the Palace Museum, Li, was also calling for help:
"Old Feng, come and take a look! Is this Qi Baishi's 'Pine and Cypress Standing Tall, Four-Character Couplet in Seal Script'? I remember there was another sister painting that sold for over 400 million yuan."
Feng Xingxian hurried over and his jaw dropped in shock:
"Yes, there are four paintings of Qi Baishi's 'Pine and Cypress Standing Tall, Seal Script Four-Character Couplet,' depicting the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Only the one you mentioned at the auction is still in existence. So, the other three are here?" (End of chapter)
