Aunt Lin walked to the bed, her feet were soft, and she threw herself on the edge of the bed, she grabbed the quilt tightly with her trembling hands, and grabbed a warm big fat hand, at that moment, her nose seemed to be burned by fire, and the tears immediately rolled down.

"Fat daddy......" she cried out, with the joy of the rest of her life.

"Big lady......" As soon as she heard her crying, Lin Qiang and other servants who were about to light the lamp in the back crawled in and fell halfway.

"It's okay, it's okay," Aunt Lin turned around, broke into a smile, and said to the servant, "It's my fault." ”

I almost scared myself to death.

She smiled and turned back, and met the loving eyes of her fat father in the light brought by the servant.

The eyes that were squeezed by the flesh were only a little smaller, and at this time there was not only love, but also compassion.

His daughter still came too early, and she had to give him a ride.

Lying in bed day and night, Lin Baoshan had already thought that there would be such a day. This time, he arranged everything after his death, his daughter and son, he confessed to reliable people to ensure their safety for the rest of their lives, even if he left, he could go with peace of mind this time.

Although he was still worried about his young children, after he was gone, there would be no one in the world who would worry about them as much as he wanted, but it was much better than if he had gone suddenly.

Lin Baoshan has been fighting with people and the sky in this life, and he can live to this age with a poisonous body, and his children will die well, and God will treat him well, and he will die without regrets.

If his daughter doesn't come, it's good that he goes first.

Lin Baoshan is very happy in this life, but his father found him a good wife, his wife gave birth to a good daughter for him, and his daughter's admiration for him over the years has made him know what parents are and what children are the flesh of the body.

But that's it, he was reluctant to let her see him off, and watched him take his last breath.

He was distressed.

"Daddy......" Aunt Lin looked at the fat father's eyes, stuffed his hand back to warm it again, and said to him with a smile: "You don't know, I just ......"

She had just scared herself to death.

With that, the room that had been lit in a few places slowly lit up, and her smile slowly stopped.

She looked at her father's completely motionless face, and sensed that the hand she was holding was hot, but with an unnatural stiffness.

Lin Baoshan looked at his daughter's face tightly, looking at her suddenly widening eyes, he felt that his eyes seemed to be hot.

"Call Mr. Zhou! Go and call! ”

Aunt Lin had come back to her senses, turned around and shouted at Lin Qiang, with fear in her voice that made the listener's heart tremble.

"Go, go......" Lin Qiang panicked, he shouted and ran out.

But Zhou Banxian came too late, Lin Baoshan looked at his daughter's face full of fear, his eyes stopped at that moment, and he didn't move anymore.

The last tears of his life slipped across his face, and his eyes finally stopped on the face of his daughter......

He left too early, and he didn't see his daughter crying out for her father while she was holding his headache, and the miserable appearance made the lady who heard him hug her and cry until she fainted.

On March 17 of the seventh year of Qinghe, Lin Baoshan, the head of the Lin family in the first good Lin Mansion in Jiangnan, died of illness in the main courtyard of the Lin Mansion at the age of sixty-one.

**

A month later.

The peach blossoms in March are still blooming in April, and the rain in the city of Yuzhou has stopped, and Lin Shouyi, the chief steward of the Lin Mansion, sent someone to go down and walk around, and came back to report to the eldest lady that this year's harvest is afraid to be reduced by three percent.

This year's waterlogging, the Lin government took precautions in advance, and it is still the case to replenish the seedlings in the field, not to mention those who don't even have the seedlings.

I don't know what the price of rice is going to rise this year.

Aunt Lin calculated with Lin Shouyi, "Then I'm afraid I'm going to take out some relief food this year." ”

"There is relief grain, but the price of rice can only follow the market, the price in the city will definitely rise, our family can't hold it down, and we can't keep raising the price, everyone comes to buy, we don't have so much cheap grain to sell." Lin Shouyi pushed the dim sum plate towards her, "Eat a piece and then talk." ”

Not long after the funeral, the Lin Mansion has been busy for a month, and the eldest lady is also so thin that she can't form a shape, a good fresh and refined little fairy, now her cheeks are sunken, and she is sick, Mo said that Mrs. looks uncomfortable, even if he looks at it, he can't bear it.

"Not only that," Aunt Lin said, pinched the pen and took a bite www.biquge.info her heart, and said to Lin Shouyi: "It's been another three years, and I'm going to go to Beijing to pay tribute this year." ”

"yes." Lin Shouyi also sighed, the pressure on the Lin Mansion this year is too great.

The year is not good, bitter.

"There is a war between the northernmost and southernmost sides, and the imperial court is short of food, and this grain cannot be less than in previous years." Aunt Lin said again.

Lin Fu has always relied on the confidence given by the saint in Beijing to hold up the first good brand in the south of the Yangtze River in Yuzhou, this brand was bought with grain, and the waist of the people is not less, but the food is less, and that one will have ideas in his heart.

"Perhaps, the emperor will be sympathetic to ......" Lin Shouyi's words stopped in the eldest lady's smiling eyes.

Aunt Lin shook her head, "No less." ”

How can there be a superior who sympathizes with the inferior?

There is only one person at the top, and there are so many people at the bottom, if they are all compassionate, who can be compassionate.

Her fat father told her when he was alive, he said that the world, the world is cruel, people are even more cruel, and those who can survive are selected by God one by one. People are masters, even more so, their hearts are tougher than copper walls and iron splits, and their hands are more ruthless than the fastest knives, you see, if you are not as hard as others, but not as ruthless as others, then you have to quickly bow your head, and lower your head low, that is the way for you to survive.

In the words of Aunt Lin, a traverser, that is, she has no ability, so she has to be a man with her tail between her legs, and don't keep thinking about taking advantage of all the advantages.

"Then ......" Lin Shouyi gritted his teeth, "I can only call the ones stored in the secret warehouse." ”

Aunt Lin didn't speak for a long time.

The fat dad just left, how long has it been gone, how long has the Lin family been in her hands, and she is about to think about moving the grain in the dark warehouse.

In previous years, in the hands of her father, no matter what the year was, there was only a lot more grain in the dark warehouse.

"Lady?"

Aunt Lin laughed at herself, too, how long has she lived, how long has her fat father lived, if she has lived in this world for thirteen years and has the ability that her fat father has lived for sixty years, she can go to heaven.

You can't rush or panic.

"Adjust it," Aunt Lin opened her mouth, "Use eighty percent of this year's new grain, and then call the old grain in three or four years, and tell the emperor that this year's situation is not good, so I can only use the old grain saved in previous years to make up for it." ”

"Yes." When Lin Shouyi heard this, his spirits perked.

Now the palace should also have received the news that Jiangnan's grain production will be greatly reduced this year, and their Lin family will offer all the tribute grain when they arrive, and the palace will know that their Lin family is doing their best.

The big housekeeper's expression was relieved, but Aunt Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This year, inside and out, tribute grain plus relief food, we have to make a real calculation, and we have to save half of the grain." ”

Outside, their Lin family is less than seventy or eighty percent, and when the time comes, there may be no place for their Lin family among the seven richest people in Jiangnan next year.

Although the name is false, but her father is gone, and she will lose this name in her hands this year, Aunt Lin still feels like a knife when she thinks about it.

"Lady's ......" this month's hard work, Lin Shouyi, who was also busy with gray hair, was also gloomy, and couldn't help but lower his head, feeling ashamed of his master.

"But it's okay," the old housekeeper bowed his head with guilt, Aunt Lin also knew that she was out of shape, at this time, she was the backbone of the family, if she was depressed, the family would have to fall, and then she smiled lightly and said: "There is not so much in the house, and the uncles and aunts can be better." ”

Her two uncles are also too cunning, they have been looking for someone, planning to kill her fat father in the spring of the fourth year of Qinghe, the year her fat father fell for the first time, but they didn't know where to know the news, knowing that the person they were looking for was unreliable, so they withdrew their hands again, and lurked until now, and when her fat father left, they carried it with their sister and brother.

Now he is discussing with the clan elder about raising their sister and brother and entering the Lin Mansion.

Hearing the two cousins of the Lin family, Lin Shouyi's brows locked deeply, "They are clamoring to push a new patriarch, and the elders of the Lin family are about to be loosened by their movements, I heard that they and the clan elders are the wealth of our Lin Mansion." Lady, this matter cannot be tolerated, the old man meant the same before, as long as they make a move, we can ......"

Lin Shouyi made a gesture of "chopping", which meant to kill them all.

Lin Baoshan is the head of the first good family in Jiangnan, but this first good is what he used to pay tribute to the emperor, but he is not really a good person.

If he had been a good man, he would not have lived to be more than sixty years old before he died.

He didn't touch Lin Baoluo and Lin Baoxian's two younger brothers before, but these two people suddenly became cautious, shrunk at home every day, and even had to check three times for dinner, as if he knew that he wanted to move them, and he didn't find a proper way to eradicate these two hidden worries for his children for a while, so he could only explain to his subordinates and act when he saw the opportunity in the future.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look." Aunt Lin knew that her fat father couldn't leave a back hand for their sister and brother, but she also knew that the fat father had something else in his heart.

The descendants of the Lin family are not prosperous, and if they can kill one less, they will kill one less. It's not for the fat dad, but also for the fat dad back then, and for the fat dad to work hard, even if the fat dad has no queen, the fat dad inherited the grandfather of the family.

"Yes, listen to you." The head of the family asked him to listen to the lady after his death, but he listened to the lady first in everything, and the lady was the mainstay, the head of the family had the grace of knowing and promoting him, and he had the blessing of his good descendants, Lin Shouyi and the previous Lin Mansion housekeeper, he had to die in the Lin Mansion for the rest of his life, and he was loyal to the last moment.

Seeing that the big housekeeper used to treat her like a junior, but now she uses honorific titles, Aunt Lin is also helpless, and looks at the big housekeeper with a smile, "Uncle, you watched me grow up, let's be the same as before." ”

She paused, and then said, "Fat dad is gone, and I have one less person who loves me the most......"

She raised her eyes with tears and looked at the big housekeeper with a smile, "Don't be estranged from me, if you are less close, Huaiyu will have less love for me." ”

Lin Shouyi was moved when he heard this, and the old tears almost rolled down.

At that time, Dao Zangfeng, the head of the small army of the Dao Family Army, who was far away in the northernmost part of the Ren Dynasty, received a letter.

It's just that this letter is not the one he has been waiting for for a long time.

The letter he was expecting from the little lady to write to him did not come, this was a letter written to him by his grandfather in the Jingzhong family.

The letter wrote that Master Lin of the Lin Mansion in Jiangnan, the father of his unmarried little lady, had passed away on March 17.

On the other side of his hand, the letter written by the little lady in Jiangnan who was delivered to him in February was still lying there, and the first sentence of the letter read: Thank you Xiao Langjun for the snow, this snow is more valuable than a thousand gold......
