I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"A great event for the Lin family army!?" Lin Yiran looked at Lin Changshou in confusion.

Her eyes fell on the golden book in his hand.

Under the sunlight, the A4-sized booklet in Lin Changshou's hand sparkled with golden light.

There was not a single word on the cover, and she couldn't tell what kind of important thing it was that needed to be made into a booklet with gold thread and silk cloth.

And why does this gold-thread silk cloth look familiar?

Shang Lu looked at the eye-catching booklet in Lin Changshou's hand, his bright eyes full of curiosity.

It was the first time she saw such golden silk cloth.

It would be such a waste to use such good cloth to make a booklet. It would be better to make a beautiful riding suit for the master.

Thinking of this, Shang Lu had already imagined Lin Yiran wearing riding clothes made of gold thread silk cloth.

She looked at the booklet in Lin Changshou's hand, her eyes becoming even more fiery.

She would have to ask Lin Changshou later where this gold thread and silk cloth came from.

Lin Changshou looked at Shang Lu's expression, which seemed like he wanted to swallow the gold-threaded booklet, and was so scared that he quickly covered the booklet with his hands.

This precious booklet cannot be given to Shanglu.

Don’t even think about it, little girl.

Lin Changshou glanced at Shang Lu defensively. Shang Lu saw Lin Changshou's petty behavior and rolled his eyes at him.

Lin Changshou pursed his lips and turned to look at his master.

He suppressed his excitement and smiled as he presented the booklet to Lin Yiran.

"Master, please take a look!"

Lin Yiran looked at the golden booklet in front of her and raised her hand to take it.

Under Lin Changshou's excited and expectant gaze, she opened the cover of the golden booklet.

On the title page it was written,

Version: (blank)

Compiled by: Lin Taihong, Lin Dashan, Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Lei

Proofreader: Lin Changshou

"This is --- the Lin family tree!?"

Seeing the contents on the title page, Lin Yiran raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Changshou.

"Yes." Lin Changshou smiled and nodded repeatedly, "I have only written a rough outline of the family tree. Many contents have not been written in detail. I need the master to make the final decision before I can write it in the evening."

"I learned all this from the people in the Ministry of Revenue. The binding version is completely in accordance with the requirements of the aristocratic families."

Lin Changshou looked at the glittering family tree and continued with a smile,

"This golden silk cloth used to bind the family tree was given by the people in the palace's weaving bureau."

The silk cloth woven with gold thread was what he saw in the weaving bureau in the imperial palace.

These gold-threaded silk fabrics are for making clothes for the royal family and cannot be used by ordinary people.

When he saw the gold-thread silk cloth, his first reaction was that if he could use such silk cloth to make the Lin family genealogy, it could definitely be passed down from generation to generation.

No one would be willing to destroy such a precious family tree made of gold thread and silk cloth, so it must be well preserved.

Originally, ordinary people were not allowed to use the gold-thread silk cloth, but when the manager of the weaving bureau heard that he wanted to make a family tree for the empress, he immediately bound one and gave it to him.

Each booklet has 80 pages, and the Weaving Bureau gave him three such booklets in total, which was really a generous gesture.

It can be seen that the people in the Weaving Bureau also want to please their master.

“It’s really well done.”

Lin Yiran nodded.

The compilers are the oldest members of the Lin family army, and they are all elders with rich life experience and long-term vision.

That line in the version is still blank. It will be just the right time to revise the country's name after she conquers Xiliang Kingdom.

Turning back to the preface:

Author: (blank --- written by an elder or famous person in the family to increase the authority of the genealogy.)

Content: (blank----briefly describe the background, purpose and significance of compiling the genealogy)

Explanation: (blank - explain the rules and format of writing the genealogy)

Biography of the ancestor: (introducing the ancestor's life and deeds, migration history, etc.). This page details the entire process of Lin Yiran saving the Lin family army and the process of overthrowing the Daliang Kingdom with the Lin family army. It then writes about the beginning of the attack on Xiliang, and the story is to be continued.

Family motto and family rules: (blank - list the family's traditional moral norms and codes of conduct, and stipulate various rules and regulations within the family)

The page with the genealogy chart (starting from the ancestor and listing the information of descendants and their spouses generation by generation) only had the ancestor - Lin Yiran - written on it.

The six huge characters blinded Lin Yiran's eyes.

Then turn to the next page to see the information of the current members of the Lin Family Army sorted by seniority.

Lin Changshou saw Lin Yiran finish flipping through the family tree and grinned.

"The four characters on the cover of the Lin family genealogy must be written by our ancestors."

"As for the blank spaces, I have to wait for your instructions. I will discuss with the elders and write them for your review before copying them into the family tree."

"Very well done. Just discuss and write in the blank spaces."

After Lin Yiran finished reading it, she handed the family tree to Lin Changshou.

"As for the Lin family rules, it must be added that men are not allowed to take concubines or commit domestic violence. If they violate these rules, they will be expelled from the Lin family. You can write the rest and let me see it when you are done."

"Yes, I'll remember it." Lin Changshou didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lin Yiran added.

None of the people in the Lin family army took concubines at all.

In the past, we all lived in the same village. Who could afford to take a concubine? It was hard to even have enough food and clothing, so what was the point of taking a concubine?

Now all the Lin family soldiers have followed their master, and everyone is busy studying and training all day long, so they have no time to think about other things.

Since following the master, all the people in the village have become visibly younger. They can't even love their own wives enough, let alone have any affairs with others.

"Why am I not in the family tree?!"

Just when Lin Yiran and Lin Changshou finished discussing the revision of the family tree content, Shang Lu on the side said weakly.

When her master was looking through the family tree, she was watching beside him.

She didn't see her name at all.

Shang Lu's words stunned Lin Yiran and Lin Changshou.

Lin Changshou blinked and looked at Shang Lu, and said with a dry laugh,

"Ms. Shanglu, you are not a member of the Lin family, so it is inappropriate to include you here."

"Look, the Lin family tree is written according to generation, there is really no way to add you in."

He just wanted to write about Smilax glabra, but he didn't know where to write it.

unless-----

"Why don't you look for someone you like in the Lin family army and marry into the Lin family. Then you can be included in the family tree."

Seeing that Shang Lu looked like she was about to cry, Lin Changshou quickly gave her an idea.

There are quite a lot of unmarried men in the Lin family army, and many of them are of the right age for Shang Lu.

He actually wanted Shang Lu to be his daughter-in-law, but his two sons were not worthy of Shang Lu.

Shang Lu was also unwilling to be his daughter-in-law. She was a generation younger than him, so it would be strange for Shang Lu to be willing.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to ask his master to give him the surname Lin, otherwise he would not have the honor of being in the same family tree with his master.
