Chapter 211 The old man’s excitement (th update, please vote for me)

Lin Cunren found that his father, Lin Xianglong, was running into the ground with many people, and many of them were from the government, as well as many government servants.

"People from the government, yamen servants? Oh, you bastards, what have you caused trouble?" The old man also stood up. When he saw so many people from the government, he was frightened and shouted to the grandchildren.

The grandchildren all straightened up in the ground, looked at the people in the distance, and were very confused. They did not skip school yesterday. They just went to the river to take a bath, and then spent a day in the wild, picking wild things. I ate the fruit and caught a lot of fish. When I was carrying the fish home, I was blocked by the old man and whipped.

"Say, what did you do!" The old man was very scared, fearing that his grandchildren would commit trouble.

"We didn't do anything, grandpa. We just went to take a bath yesterday and then went to catch fish in the creek. We didn't steal anything or anything!" Lin Cunzhi, the sixth man, immediately said to the old man.

"Okay, okay, you just wait. If you let me know that you have broken the law, you guys will just wait!" The old man held the bamboo stick, gritted his teeth, pointed at them and cursed, "I'm so angry, the government." People are coming, and they are still talking tough!

The old man has already made plans in his mind to ask the boss Lin Cunren to go to the capital as soon as possible and find a way to rescue him, but he cannot go to jail or be exiled.

"Grandson, if something goes wrong, you go to the capital immediately. If you don't have any money, ask your grandma to get it. I still have money. You rush to the capital immediately. Do you hear me?" The old man turned to Lin Cunren and said,

"Okay!" Lin Cunren was also a little worried, and then he realized something was wrong. His father seemed to be very excited and even fell down twice. It was the officials behind who helped him get up.

"Dad, dad, I'm so happy, so happy!" Lin Xianglong shouted loudly after seeing the old man.

"What did your father call you?" The old man turned to look at Lin Cunren.

"I'm calling you. What great joy? What great joy? What joy?" Lin Cunren looked at the old man and said.

"Great joy, what great joy? Your fifth brother has passed the Jinshi examination. That's not right. Your fifth brother is in Dingyou. Besides, this is not the time for the imperial examination, right?" The old man turned to Lin Cunren and asked.

"Why take the Jinshi exam? What does it matter if you fail the exam? My fifth brother is already an official!" Lin Cunren said helplessly to the old man. Before he could finish speaking, he jumped up and the old man started to twitch.

"You bastard, you have such a big brother, and you still cursed your fifth brother to fail the exam!" The old man scolded while slapping him.

The younger brothers working in the fields couldn't stop laughing. They were very happy to see their elder brother being beaten.

"I didn't say that you failed the exam, I just said that it doesn't matter if you fail the exam. Oh, grandpa, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Lin Cunren was so depressed. He was just telling the truth. His fifth brother was already an official. It’s not a big problem if you don’t win. Why does the old man only listen to half of what I’m told!

"Dad, Dad, I'm so happy, I'm so happy, Xiaowu has been awarded the title of Earl, Dad!" Lin Xianglong was so excited that he could hardly walk unsteadily. He was also anxious and wanted to tell the old man the news, so he stumbled all the way. Fortunately, there were officials behind to support Lin Xianglong, otherwise, he would have fallen countless times. It rains a lot in the south at this time, and there is water on the field ridges, which is very slippery.

"Ah, what did your father say?" The old man was afraid that he had heard wrongly, so he stopped whipping Lin Cunren and stared at Lin Cunren and asked.

Lin Cunren also frowned. Did he hear wrongly? Dad just shouted that the fifth brother was knighted?

"Dad, Xiao Wu has been granted the title of earl, Uncle Luling!" Lin Xianglong continued to shout loudly.

Lin Cunren heard it clearly this time, and he quickly went over excitedly to support the old man and shouted excitedly: "Grandpa, Xiao Wu has been knighted, Uncle Luling!"

"Ah, knighthood, knighthood?" The old man was dumbfounded at this moment. How could he not know what knighthood meant?

"Yes, knighted, Luling Bo!" Lin Cunren continued to shout excitedly.

"Oh, oh, hurry, hurry, help me go back, oh!" The old man was so excited that he wanted to walk, but he felt that his legs were so unruly.

The grandchildren who were in the field were also excited to run out of the field at this moment, not caring about the mud on their legs. They heard that the fifth brother was knighted.

Soon, Lin Xianglong led the government officials to join the old man.

"Boss, what are you talking about? Xiao Wu has been knighted, is he knighted?" The old man stared at Lin Xianglong and shouted.

"Yes, someone from the government has come to announce the good news. This is the prefect of Ji'an!" Lin Xianglong said and introduced the prefect of Ji'an Zhang Lirong to the old man.

"Greetings to the old man, congratulations to the old man!" Zhang Lirong, the prefect of Ji'an, said with a smile and cupped his hands to the old man.

It's no good if you don't give him up. Although he is the prefect, he is not enough in front of Luling Bo. Moreover, Lin Cunde's father was posthumously named Luling Marquis, and Luling Marquis's father is the old man in front of him.

"Ah, hurry up, hurry up, go home quickly, go home and drink tea, hurry up! Oops, ouch!" The old man was very excited, but he also knew that this was not a place for talking, and besides, so many people came to announce good news and money. But it requires preparation.

He likes money, so the old man is not worried. He has money. When he came back last time, Lin Cunde stuffed two hundred taels into the package for the old man. He saved all the money and did not spend it.

Now that his grandson has become an earl, two hundred taels are nothing to the old man. He is willing to pay for two thousand taels.

Soon, the group of people rushed back. The other grandchildren did not dare to come forward and followed them from a distance. They were afraid of being discovered by the old man and being beaten again. However, they also knew that the old man at this moment was not careful. Not theirs.

After returning home, the old man went to the bedroom first, took out two hundred taels of silver, handed it directly to Lin Xianglong who was following behind him, and said, "Quick, hurry up and get the wedding money!" "No, Dad, where did you get so much money?" Lin Xianglong looked at the old man in surprise and asked.

"Xiaowu gave it to me. Come on, I'll give you money for the wedding. Come on, I'll give you money for the wedding!" The old man said excitedly.

"You need so much money! A total of twenty taels is enough!" Lin Xianglong said with a smile.

"Then you take it and prepare to have a feast, a flowing banquet. My grandson has been knighted. I want to hold a flowing banquet. Anyone can come and eat. No gifts are required. You go and do it. It's done. We don't have enough money. You and I I said, I will borrow it, and then I will sell some fields, so hurry up!" The old man said very excitedly.

"Dad, it's not that bad. My third brother, fourth brother and I still have money, so how can we sell the land!" Lin Xianglong persuaded the old man with a smile.

"Okay, okay, take it all out, take it all out! Whoever dares not to take it out, I will beat him to death!" The old man still couldn't bear the excitement in his heart.

Soon, Lin Xianglong prepared the happy money. Lin Xianghu and Lin Xiangbao, who were working outside, also received the news and came back. They were also very excited. The family greeted the officials, and the neighbors and the family Everyone knows that Lin Cunde has been granted the title of Earl, and a Earl's Palace will be built in Ji'an Mansion. Moreover, Lin Cunde's father, the second son of the old man, was posthumously named Luling Marquis, and a temple will be built to offer sacrifices.

After a lively morning, the prefect also had dinner at the old man's house at noon. Zhang Lirong would not leave so quickly.

The birth of a count in Ji'an Prefecture is a blessing for the officials of Ji'an Prefecture and those who serve as officials outside Ji'an Prefecture, and it will be helpful to them in the future.

Zhang Lirong was transferred to Ji'an Prefecture only in the first half of last year. Ji'an Prefecture has huge local power, and the officials under him cannot suppress it. Those officials have very strong influence in the court, and their families all work in the court. As an official, he, a foreigner, was very cautious when working as an official here, and he did not even dare to offend the county magistrates below.

Therefore, Zhang Lirong was very careful when Lin Cunde was conferred a title, for fear of offending him, and he would not be able to serve as the prefect by then.

Thinking of these, Zhang Lirong felt sad.

There are too many ministers from Ji'an Prefecture, who are distributed in the court and all over the country. If you don't pay attention, you will offend people.

Zhang Lirong left with the officials after finishing his meal.

And the prominent people in Ji'an Mansion also began to run to Lin Cunde's hometown to give gifts.

The old man was very happy. No matter who came, he would always greet him with a smile, and the running water mat at home was also ready.

The old man makes everyone happy at this moment.

On Lin Cunde's side, Lin Cunde was also staring at the Wala military camps in front of him. He had just received news that four thousand cavalry had left the border and continued to attack the Wala cavalry deployed outside the city gate.

Lin Cunde sent people to keep an eye on Oala's heavy cavalry, and even sent out rangers outside several city gates to keep an eye on the movements of Oala's cavalry and heavy cavalry.

At noon, the heavy cavalry in Oala didn't want to go out to fight. It was too hot. Those armors were boiling hot and stuck to the skin, causing blisters easily.

In the Wala military camp, Azizhiyuan was very angry. Today, five thousand people were killed by Ming cavalry. There were two thousand cavalry stationed outside each of the three city gates. Those who escaped back only had less than 1000 people left!

"Sir, it may be the troops of the Third Battalion of the Capital. The Shanhaiguan in front of us may have more troops than it seems on the surface!" A leader reminded standing next to Azizhiyuan.

Azizhiyuan glanced at the leader and said coldly: "How could I not know why I haven't received detailed information yet?"

"It's probably coming soon. If it doesn't arrive today, it will definitely arrive tomorrow!" The leader immediately saluted and said.

"Hmph!" Azizhiyuan snorted again.

He wanted to fight his way into Shanhaiguan, so that he could send his troops to grab supplies outside of Beijing. He wanted to distribute the supplies to himself first, but Azizhiyuan was not willing to give in.

"Master Zhiyuan, how about we gather all our cavalry in one place?" Another leader said to Asashi Zhiyuan.

"Yes, by gathering our cavalry together, we can avoid the attack of the Ming cavalry. With the heavy armor, the Ming cavalry will not dare to attack us, let alone surround us!" The previous leader also agreed.

"What do you know?" Azizhiyuan said to them dissatisfied.
