Chapter 547: Chapter 546: The First Person of the Fourth Generation of Lin Clan_1
Deafening cheers erupted in and out of the martial arts arena, wave after wave of excitement soaring among the onlookers who had just witnessed an exhilarating match. Their eyes shone with excitement as they screamed at the top of their lungs, contributing the loudest decibels possible.
“My daughter won, she won!”
Ye Xue’e also stood up from her chair, excitedly wiping her tears with a handkerchief, completely forgetting that the opponent in the match was her son as well.
Excited as well, Duke of Zhen arrived at the center of the field and grandly waved his hand, announcing publicly, “The Duke’s Mansion has a talented successor! The entire residence shall celebrate! All present here will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the rest with one tael. The rewards will be distributed immediately.”
“Great!”
“Thank you, Duke!”
“Eldest Miss is powerful!”
These words caused an unprecedented sensation, filling the entire martial arts arena with happiness. Attendants and guards were enthusiastic, while maids and old ladies covered their mouths and kept laughing.
“We’ve benefited from this too, and got ten taels of silver for free.”
Second Aunt Lin, with a broad smile on her face, approached Third Lady Lin and excitedly joked.
“Yes, little Qingluo is very lucky.”
Third Lady Lin nodded with a smile, “We are also fortunate, thanks to her continuous blessings.”
Second Aunt Lin’s eyes darted around, and she came closer again, “Eldest sister-in-law gets a share too, ten taels of silver. It’s enough to organize a feast. Let’s ask her to invite us, and take the children to Blessing Feast Restaurant to celebrate little Qingluo’s victory.”
“Sounds good. If ten taels aren’t enough, I have more.”
Third Lady Lin’s eyes brightened with the pleasant surprise.
“Let’s go talk to our eldest sister-in-law.”
Seeing her agreement, Second Aunt Lin raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and the two sisters-in-law walked over to Ye Xue’e, chatting and laughing.
With her daughter’s outstanding performance in the martial arts contest, Ye Xue’e was delighted and immediately agreed.
“Tonight, we’ll have a grand feast to celebrate Qingluo’s victory!”
Just as the three sisters-in-law were talking, Duke of Zhen waved his hand grandly and announced with a loud, powerful voice.
The smiles on the faces of the three ladies froze.
“Luckily, we saved ten taels of silver.”
Third Lady Lin playfully teased.
“Hehe.”
Ye Xue’e and Second Aunt Lin couldn’t help but laugh, covering their mouths with handkerchiefs.

After Lin Qingluo’s brilliant performance, she undoubtedly became the family’s favorite.
The entire Duke’s Mansion, from the masters to the maids, looked at her with admiration and worship.
No matter where she went, people would gather around her with laughter, wanting to get a closer look at the splendor of the Lin Clan’s fourth generation’s top talent.
Her five older brothers and six younger brothers took turns hanging around her, bringing her delicious snacks and pastries different at every shichen (Chinese time-keeping unit, 1 Shichen = 2 hours).
The Duke and his wife were extremely fond of their granddaughter, spoiling her down to her bones. Rare treasures and antique jade were moved into her Fluttering Snow Residence without hesitation, filling the storerooms almost to the bursting point.
The enthusiasm lasted for more than half a month before gradually calming down.

After Lin Jinyu’s return home, he and Wang Rong collaborated to build defensive fortifications along the eastern border, officially starting preparations.
Luo Zhan and Wang Rong visited the siblings in Autumn Scene Garden, and the four of them discussed in-depth their cooperation in the study.
The discussions went smoothly, with Wang Rong being very knowledgeable about the border cities. After several revisions, they drew up specific routes and developed detailed construction plans.
Lin Jinyu was responsible for refining gold.
With the assistance of Thousand-Mechanism Pavilion, he did not need to personally transport the goods.
All he needed to do was place the refined gold at designated locations, and Luo Zhan would send someone to secretly transport it to the eastern border.
