Red House Shoufu

Chapter 284

If the enemies of the Lin family in the past ten years were those who spied on the huge profits of the Jiangnan Salt Industry, then the current enemies are not much worse than those people.

Lin Ruhai, the only surviving member of the main lineage of the Lin family, died in Yangzhou, and most of the Jiangnan salt merchants who plotted against the Lin family and the officials behind them have been eradicated.The remaining Jinling Zhen's family and Zhongxin Prince's Mansion are also gradually showing signs of decline, waiting for the opportunity to strike with a thunderbolt.

But there is another enemy who is alive and well, and that is Wang Ziteng.This person plotted against the four major families in Jinling, including their in-laws, like tarsal maggots, constantly absorbing nutrients from these families, and pulled the third Wang family to the first position. .

It's a pity that the Lin family's strength is not strong enough now, so they can only hide their hatred and accumulate strength silently.

"Uncle Lian, we should not move lightly now. My father has been away from the capital for a long time, and our family can be said to be starting again in the capital. We have to wait until we are qualified to sit at the dinner table again before we can uncover the iron pot where the meat is cooked. It’s all about stability.”

Lin Lian nodded silently, touching the handle of the knife at his waist, the hatred in his eyes could not be concealed at all.In the past ten years, several brothers died in this scheme, and he must settle this account with Wang Ziteng and others no matter what.

However, the current head of the family is still Lin Shu, and only this pair of brothers and sisters are left in the main line of the Lin family.Revenge is a must, but first of all, it is necessary to ensure that Lin Shu and Daiyu can live well, and the old Patriarch cannot sacrifice his blood.

The atmosphere in the room became dignified and dull again. Lin Shu raised his wine bowl: "Uncles and brothers, don't be depressed. The saint is old after all. Today is different from the saint. Whether Gao Yongyi and Zhen's family or Wang Ziteng, these people are standing This has already determined their future destiny. We can afford to wait!"

Panicked by the general trend, those who follow it will get twice the result with half the effort; in the world, only those who respond to it can accomplish things.The situation of the two saints coming to court will not happen again, the general trend is getting closer to the current emperor, and the loyal palace, Zhen family, and Wang family can't resist the great change of heaven.

Lin Lian was silent for a moment, and suddenly suggested: "Since the Patriarch said so, I will continue to hibernate. However, there are still few people around the Patriarch who can use it. After the Chinese New Year, I will select some people to serve in front of the Patriarch. At least Let me wait at ease."

"That's fine. The number of people should not be too many. Just pick five or six people. After the new year, I will send a few people to my hometown in Suzhou to bring my uncle and other clansmen to the capital. I just need reliable people."

After Lin Shu finished talking about these trivial matters, he asked Zhuangzi about the specific situation.Finally, I had lunch with everyone before returning to the inner hall drunk.

Lin Shu spent the afternoon in a deep sleep, and the farmer on the Zhuangzi was going to hunt some wild game in the mountains to entertain the owner. This matter aroused Wang Huan's interest, and he changed into his uniform and went into the mountain with the team excitedly.

Daiyu saw the snow outside and the plum blossoms in Zhuangzi were in full bloom, so she took Wang Yuan to go to the snow to find plum blossoms.

In addition to the descendants of the soldiers left by the ancestors and the retainers of the Lin family, the households of the Lin family also have many people from distant places.There are hundreds of families here, and their family conditions are much better than ordinary families.

Even if you can't make every household with blue bricks and green tiles, there are clean and tidy farm yards. The fat dolls running around in the village are all dressed thickly, and the smiles on their faces show that they are living a comfortable life.

The steward Lin Xian asked his daughter-in-law Lin Zhao to be the guide for the two of them, and they strolled slowly in the village on the clean bluestone path.

Daiyu saw a few houses with green bricks and green tiles on the side of the grain drying field not far away, which were obviously taller and stronger than other houses, so she asked what they were for.

"Girl, this is a newly built school a few years ago. In the fourth year of Zhide, the head of the family had just taken over the general affairs of the Lin family, and he wrote a letter saying that education should start with children. The father-in-law built these few houses according to the order of the head of the house, and used the head of the house As the saying goes, even if Dilong turns over and the entire house in Zhuangzi collapses, the school cannot collapse."

A few people walked into the school, because it was the Chinese New Year holiday, there was no class in the school.There are four houses with green bricks and green tiles, two of which are used for class, and there are many neat tables and chairs in each.

There are two remaining rooms, one with the door closed, and Mrs. Lin Zhao said that it is for the husband to rest.In the last and largest room, the stove was burning at this time, and the neat bookshelves were full of all kinds of books.

There are also several long tables and wooden chairs in the room, and several young teenagers and children are reading books with great interest.

Mrs. Lin Zhao explained to Daiyu and the two in a low voice: "These people are the people who like to study the most in Zhuangzi. The two older people among them have already been admitted by the government last year, but it is a pity that the college entrance examination still landed. The remaining few This doll has good talent, and the father-in-law said to let them play in the next boy's trial."

The pride in her eyes couldn't be concealed at all, and her eyes kept falling on the youngest baby, who seemed to be only six or seven years old was her son.

Daiyu seemed to have realized something, and nodded with a smile: "Reading is good. Reading can be wise, self-cultivating, and rational. Of course, it can also be called outside the Donghua Gate to honor the ancestors."

"What the girl said is that the traditions of our Lin Family's Shili Family cannot be lost."

Lin Zhaoshi didn't quite understand the meaning of Daiyu's words, but she firmly remembered what her father-in-law had taught her son.

Daiyu smiled and did not correct the bias. She took a few glances at the school full of books, then turned and walked towards Meilin not far ahead.

The Lin family is now a family of poetry and rituals, but the Lin family was born as a marquis, and the ancestors started their careers on the battlefield.You can't stop writing and ink, and you can't lose the sword. In the words of brother Lin Shu, if you grasp with both hands, you must be firm with both hands.

The place to the east of Meilin was already out of Zhuangzi's range, and there were a few young and strong people patrolling around with knives.Daiyu saw that Zhuangzi's defense was very strict, even now there are young and strong patrolling.She didn't know the secrets in Zhuangzi, but it was obviously different from her hometown in Suzhou.

Seeing that Daiyu was a little confused, Mrs. Lin Zhao explained to her: "Our Zhuangzi has always maintained the tradition left by our ancestors. If it weren't for the peaceful years, it would still be governed by the rules of the army. It is my family. You brat, you have to train with Lian Bo and the others every year in your spare time, at least you must be able to bow and horse, and not be that weak scholar."

Daiyu thought of the few students in the school just now, they were indeed much stronger than ordinary scholars.Even that little six-year-old child, it is obvious that Baoyu was much stronger back then.

She said to the thoughtful Wang Yuan: "When my brother was enlightened at the age of five, he ran and exercised in the yard every day. When he was eight years old, his father asked him and Brother Fuquan to practice martial arts with his own soldiers. If it weren't for my brother, I really didn't practice martial arts. Talent, with his hard-working appearance back then, he can at least be like Big Brother Fuquan, with one as ten."
