Chapter 11 The Lin Family Resurrection
Lin Su took it with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Mr. Lin, what other conditions do you have? Ding Hai felt confident.
As soon as Lin Su lowered his head, he saw Xiaoyao. The girl was holding her belly with both hands, leaning on the chair contentedly, as if she didn't want to move for the time being.
"Xiaoyao, what do you want?"
Xiaoyao stood up straight: "Two roast chickens!"
Everyone's eyes are wide open...
Xiaoyao looked at this and that, and leaned next to Lin Su sheepishly: "Otherwise, just one... Xiaotao hasn't eaten yet..."
Lin Su knocked her head, speechless.
Her style is a little small, but it is remarkable that she can still remember that her little sister has not eaten at this time.
Ding Hai smiled: "Ten roast chickens, ten jars of good wine, and ten sheep, send them to the Lin Mansion!"
"Yes!" The beauty smiled brightly and turned around.
"Okay, Boss Ding, the poems will be delivered within three days!"
Ding Hai's heart finally returned to its original position and he smiled happily.
Lin Su turned to Baoshan: "Mr. Baoshan, give me that golden bead. After all, it is a gift given to me by a girl..."
Baoshan's eyes widened: "That's the fox demon!"
"She is not an ordinary fox demon..."
"What?"
"She is a female fox demon!"
Poof, I don’t know who sprayed the wine in his mouth.
Mr. Baoshan raised his hand and handed the golden bead into Lin Su's hand.
"Boy, since ancient times, passion has always hurt people. Why should we break our hearts again? Be careful, don't play yourself to death..."
Since ancient times, passion has always caused many wounds. Why should we have heartbreak in this world?
What a poem!
Did you write it yourself?
Is it colorful?
Lin Su's eyes flickered with light...
It is already afternoon in the Lin family.
A group of young men in green clothes carried ten roasted sheep, ten chickens, and ten jars of wine to the door.
The four imperial characters "Dingnan Marquis Mansion" that used to be ten miles away are no longer there. There are only two lonely characters horizontally above, "Lin Zhai".
These two words were handwritten by Lin Jialiang himself. With his accomplishments, he could have written them so brightly that they would illuminate the night, but these two words were dim. Just because the words follow his mood, when he wrote these two words, his heart It was all gloomy, and the words written were also gloomy.
There are no gatekeepers.
Lin Zhai, what can be inside?
Thieves always leave with tears in their eyes when they come in. Are they still afraid of being stolen?
More than a dozen people directly opened the door and entered the courtyard. The courtyard was also overgrown with weeds and in a state of dilapidation.
In the east courtyard, Lin Jialiang was lying quietly with his eyes closed.
He did not fall asleep, nor did he faint. There was always a shadow lingering in his heart. That day in the Yuxiang Tower, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the fragrance of love lingered, and the room was filled with spring light. Her face was as beautiful as a celestial being behind the light smoke. Her eyes are full of love and her voice is elegant...
Sir, can I ask you a question?
you say!
"The brothel is not the final destination, where should I go?"
He told her: "My father will return home in March, and I will open the side door for you when the peach blossoms are in bloom."
She smiled: "Then my resignation banquet will be in April." At that moment, the smile on her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom...
Time passed, flowers fell and flowers flew, and March came in the blink of an eye. Instead of returning to his hometown, his father was escorted to the capital for questioning.
He watched the peach blossoms blossom before his eyes, and then withdrew...
For people in the past, today is the feast for resigning from the building. After the banquet for resigning from the building, whose family will the flowers fall...
Spring has faded and people are sick. Things in the past are beautiful after all, but things in the future cannot see the way back...
Things in the world are unpredictable and melancholy. Today, the Marquis Mansion is full of chicken feathers...
Mother Lin and Xiao Tao sat in front of his bed without disturbing him or talking for the whole morning...
Suddenly, there was movement outside, and Mother Lin was slightly startled: "Someone is coming in, Xiaotao, go and see..."
Xiaotao walked to the door. As soon as she opened the door, her eyes were attracted by the golden roasted lamb and roasted chicken. After the incident in Dingnanhou Mansion, she hadn't seen meat for a long time. She was so greedy. What were she looking at? Are they all like roasted sheep? Xiaotao closed her eyes and shook her head. When she opened her eyes again, she saw roasted lamb and chicken...
"Please tell me, madam, that I am the shopkeeper of Haining House. Mr. Lin won the first prize in the poetry competition today. Haining House will give you some gifts as a mark of respect!"
"What?" Mother Lin bounced up, as if the power was turned off again instantly, and her face suddenly turned rosy.
Lin Jialiang's eyes opened suddenly, filled with disbelief. Am I dreaming? Will the third brother win the poetry competition? Third brother? He has a three-point chance of winning the championship as a lackey in the cockfight. What does the Poetry Society have to do with him? …
Roast lamb, roast chicken, and fine wine came in one after another, and Xiao Tao's mouth couldn't stop flowing...
But Mother Lin came to the door in person: "Shopkeeper Li, why is it you?"
How could the person in front of me be a waiter? He is a middle-aged man with a majestic bearing. Before the collapse of the Lin family, Mother Lin once accompanied her husband to a banquet at Haining House. She met him once. This shopkeeper was not an ordinary person. How could he enter the Lin family in person?
Shopkeeper Li bowed slightly: "I've met Mrs. Lin! Your son is an extraordinary poet. He has been bestowed with literary roots by all the saints. He will surely be a man in the sky in the future. Mr. Li is lucky enough to live in the same hometown as the Lin family. He should have come to pay homage to him a long time ago. He just came today." , it’s already rude, I hope the old lady won’t blame you.”
How can this be? Mother Lin's lips trembled: "My son...my son...is talented in poetry? And he was given a literary talent?"
"More than just a poet? He is a peerless genius! Once the three young masters' two colorful poems came out, not to mention that Haining will be famous forever, even the whole of Quzhou will become more spring-like. Congratulations, old lady!"
He bowed and bowed out.
Mother Lin's whole body was shaken. Her condition seemed to have completely improved at this moment. She walked to the bed in a few steps: "Erlang, what...what's going on? Did you write him a poem?"
Lin Jialiang was confused: "No, besides, how could I write colorful poems?...My poetic attainments cannot even touch the Golden Light Poetry..."
A call came from outside: "Mom, second brother..."
"Third brother is back..."
Mother Lin suddenly turned around and saw Lin Su and Xiao Yao. Lin Su went out from home in the morning, looking limp. But now, his face was glowing, and so was Xiao Yao... Oh, no, she was glowing. …
"Sanlang, you..." Lin's mother threw out all the questions in a flash and got a positive answer immediately.
"what on earth is it?"
Lin Su gave an explanation: "Mom, I... It's probably because of the blessing of my father's spirit in heaven. The child suddenly felt that his path was wide open. If there is divine help..."
This is the only good thing about feudal society. When the unexplainable things are pointed at the ghosts and gods, the answer seems to be found immediately. Everyone in the room feels like this...
Mother Lin's face was also glowing: "Sanlang, follow your mother to pay homage to the ancestors of the Lin family and thank your father's spirit in heaven..."
They went, Lin Jialiang watched them leave, a trace of sadness that had just been suppressed by the surprise reappeared again at this moment...
There was one thing that he didn't have time to ask, or he didn't dare to ask.
He wanted to ask what happened to Yulou...
In fact, he already had an answer to this question in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm this answer...
The Lin family has reached this stage of decline. Today, he did not attend her resignation party. The old agreement is naturally a thing of the past. Now that Zhang Xiu has made plans, who in the world can escape from his murderous hand? What's more, she is just a helpless person...
Lin Jialiang coughed violently again...
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside his bed: "Mr. Lang!"
Lin Jialiang suddenly raised his head and stood in front of him, with a gentle smile and tender eyes. Who was it if he wasn't Yulou?
Lin Jialiang's whole body was stiff and he could hardly believe his eyes.
"Yulu...is it really you?"
"Lang Jun, have you forgotten... on the day of my resignation from the Jade Tower, you opened the side door for me!"
Her gentle voice came, and Lin Jialiang seemed to be in a dream...
Yulou gently put herself into his arms: "Yulu resigned today and did not dare to report to Lang Zhi. He originally wanted to come quietly tonight, but Lang Jun knew about it and asked your third brother to bring it to me. Such a good poem, with such a heart for the husband, why does Yulou need to care about other people's opinions? From now on, it belongs to the husband..."
Lin Jialiang was shocked. Poetry? What poem...
…
Lin Su and her mother went out of the ancestral hall after a long and complicated ceremony.
When returning to the second brother's east courtyard, the two of them suddenly stopped.
A person came out of the kitchen, carrying a big bowl. Although she was wearing plain clothes at the moment, she was still very elegant.
"Sister Yulou!" Lin Su smiled and said, "You are here!"
"Third Young Master!" Yulou said: "..." Her eyes fell on Mother Lin, and her expression changed slightly.
She vaguely guessed the identity of the person in front of her. This was the only obstacle for her to enter the Lin family. If there was another obstacle - Lin Jialiang wanted to admit her that day, but because of her status as a brothel, she was not accepted by the Marquis and his wife. accept.
Why? In this era, it was important to be well-matched, and wealthy families often only married into wealthy families. Therefore, officials and their children rarely accepted brothel girls. As for brothel girls, it was okay to have fun, but giving her a status was a stain.
Although the Lin family has declined, it is still a big family after all. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Will Madam change her mind? The jade tower has no bottom...
"Sister Yulou, this is my mother!" Lin Su introduced her.
Yulou bowed deeply: "Yulou has seen Mrs....!"
Mother Lin's face changed, she nodded reluctantly and said nothing.
Yu Lou could see this expression in his eyes. How could a woman like her, who was prosperous in romance, not understand it in her heart? I am already feeling uneasy...
Lin Su said: "Sister Yulou, please give the soup to my brother first."
OK! Yulou stood up and left.
After entering the room, Yulou helped Lin Jialiang up and fed him soup with a spoon. The heat rushed up and her eyelashes trembled slightly...
"Yulu, what's wrong?"
"Mrs. Lang... Madam... Madam is quite dissatisfied. I'm afraid Yulou will eventually..."
ah? Lin Jialiang's head sank suddenly.
…
In the yard, Mother Lin's eyes slowly moved towards Lin Su: "Sanlang, this... this can't happen!"
"Mother is talking about sister Yulou and second brother? No?"
Mother Lin nodded slowly.
"Why?"
Mother Lin sighed: "Sanlang, you are still young, you don't understand many things..." She said her thoughts exactly...
Lin Sudao: "Mom, I do not understand many things, but I understand one thing. When a person is established, his character comes first. The Lin family has ended up in this situation. Even the family members are running away. Sister Yulou could have accepted the employment of the Zhang family's thousand taels of silver and lived in luxury, but at this time, she chose to return to the Lin family. How rare is it? If we turn her away, who in the world will not be heartbroken? "
Mother Lin was moved...
Lin Su continued: "As for the impact on the second brother, please rest assured, mother. Sister Yulou only wants to stay with the second brother forever and does not care about status."
Mother Lin's eyes lit up: "As long as it doesn't affect your second brother, my mother won't be such a cool person! You ask her to come over, and my mother will talk to her."
Lin Su entered the second brother's room. Lin Jialiang and Yu Lou, who were nervous, looked up at him at the same time, with a bit of fear, a bit of speculation, and a bit of resentment in their eyes...
"Sister Yulou, my mother wants to talk to you."
Yulou trembled slightly: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
He took a deep look at Lin Jialiang, lowered his head and left the room.
"Third brother, mother...what do you think of mother?" Lin Jialiang's hands were trembling.
"Second brother, please don't worry! Mom has already agreed!"
After saying this sentence, Lin Jialiang suddenly felt that a breath of air passed directly from the soles of his feet to his brain. All the depression in his heart disappeared at the same time, and his condition was half improved.
And Yulou, who had just stepped out of the room, was shaken all over and his steps became light...
She talked with Mother Lin for a long time in the main room, and then came out. When she came out, her face was red and her heart was completely open...
Mother Lin felt better and spoke about the affairs in the mansion. We can't finish the meat that Haining House sent us today. Let's send some to Mei Niang and Lao He. Mei Niang and Lao He are both members of the Lin family. The Lin family tree fell and scattered, and most of the family members ran away. Mei Niang and Lao He were the exceptions. The Lin family had no food, so they left the Lin family to reduce their expenses and fight outside. Occasionally, three or two cornbreads were quietly placed at the gate, which moved Mrs. Lin very much.
The Lin family brothers did not see the feat of the old lady of the Lin family, "if she is poor, she will starve to death quietly; if she is rich, she will help the world", the Lin family brothers did not see it. They had a lot to talk about.
