Lin Mansion.
Elder Lin and Xie Xun were playing chess. Elder Lin had two sons and two daughters, all well-raised. Both sons had excelled in the imperial examinations and entered as members of Hanlin Academy. The brothers were amicable and supportive of each other. His eldest grandson, Lin Helin, was renowned as a reincarnation of the deified literary star, attaining the highest ranks in three consecutive examinations.
His eldest daughter was married to Marquis Zhenbei, Xie Yuan, while his younger daughter was married into Yongning Marquis Mansion. Both marriages were harmonious.
Elder Lin and his wife were particularly affectionate toward their legitimate daughter, and Xie Xun was especially cherished since he returned to the Capital City to recuperate from injuries. They often invited him to stay at the mansion.
