Follow-up (forty-seven) reunion

Lin Dong couldn't help but feel warm when she saw Quan Meihuan's nervous appearance, after all, she was still worried about herself, and gently helped Quan Meihuan away with a soothing face, "You don't have to worry too much, it's going to be fine, I'm ......"

"How can you not be worried? I only have a son like you, if you have three long and two short, how do you want me to live? Kwon Mi-huan was still crying.

She remarried Huo Yan and did not give birth to a boy and a half girl, Lin Dong is her only son, and now, she can realize the importance of this son to her.

Lin Dong's expression gradually became a little colder, Quan Meihuan's words were not very pleasant to his ears, she was worried about him, she was just afraid that no one would take care of him, so she said, "If I have three long and two short, won't there be an eldest sister and a second sister?" The second brother-in-law is your stepson again, and he will definitely support you for the rest of your life......"

"Why don't you understand? Do you want me to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man? Whether it's you, your eldest sister or your second sister, you were all born to me in October, I just hope you all live well, you know? Quan Meihuan said bitterly, "Mother knows that my mother did something wrong before, but my mother can't stand your sisters and brothers, and now I can have such a day, my mother is content, really, but Brother Dong'er, why did you choose an errand that might kill you?" Aren't you ripping out your mother's heart alive? ”

Lin Dong stood there in a daze and listened to Quan Meihuan's confession, the mother and son were actually extremely lacking in communication, and he also knew about the changes of his mother over the years, but in the end the stereotype was too deep, in his heart, maybe the status of the second mother Lin Lu's family was even heavier.

He slowly stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his mother's shoulder, and smiled hard, "Wealth is in danger, on the surface, this errand is very dangerous, but as long as I make meritorious contributions and return safely, this is very beneficial to my career, and I want to catch up with my grandfather's glory one day." ”

This is his mission as the son of the Lin family, especially the generation of the Lin family, and only he is still considered to be able to get ahead, and the lobby brother Lin Biao barely won a lift, and he just wrote to say that he was working hard to prepare for the exam, no matter what, he also had to be a jinshi. As for the expelled third uncle and his son, they are no longer considered to be grandfather's descendants, and no one pays attention to their recent situation.

In this case, the burden on his shoulders is even heavier.

"But if even his life is gone, then what ideals are there to talk about? Glory? Quan Meihuan retorted, "You have the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law to carry you, why do you need to fight so hard?" In time, it will be just around the corner to become a university scholar like your grandfather. ”

She also knows that for men in this world, as long as they are self-motivated, who doesn't care about fame? Fate is more important than fame.

"I know that I can one day be on the throne with my eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law, but I want to climb up on my own, and this time the saint has also given me a chance to perform, and I have to seize it no matter what."

Lin Dong couldn't give up, for him, if such an opportunity was lost, he might never have it again in the future.

"But you haven't even made it to your family, and you haven't been able to keep a queen, how can you go to die? Brother Dong, you listen to your mother's persuasion, get married next year and have children, this is the greatest filial piety to the ancestors of the Lin family. Quan Meihuan brought out the most important point of her son to advise.

Lin Dong intuitively couldn't communicate with his mother, and when he was about to shake his head secretly, he saw that the two elder sisters and the second mother had come out, so he looked at the eldest sister with a distress look.

The mother may not be afraid of the second sister Lin Qi, but she is definitely the most afraid of the eldest sister, so as long as the eldest sister agrees with his decision, the mother will eventually agree.

Lin Long also listened to the dispute between the mother and son, and stepped forward worriedly at this time, "Brother Dong, have you really thought about it?" If you change your mind, I can also ask your brother-in-law to come to the Holy Lord to excuse you, or I can go to the palace and beg the queen to ......"

"Sister, I really thought about it, I know you won't approve of it, so I'll cut it first." Lin Dong said, "Sister, when you decided to open the Jade Skin Workshop, you were also worried, and then didn't you insist on opening the store without hesitation?" At that time, how could you have imagined that one day the Jade Skin Workshop would open all over the Dashun Dynasty? ”

"How can the two be compared?" Lin Long tried to persuade a few more words.

"Why can't it be compared? Sister, I am facing a choice just like you at that time, if I withdraw and lose at this time, then I will definitely look down on myself. Lin Dong argued.

Lin Long was speechless immediately, after all, his own brother was right, people are afraid to do things, what achievements will they talk about in the future? It's just going to make people look down.

Lin Qi saw that the eldest sister was speechless, and knew that the eldest sister was convinced, so she hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother Dong, I am against it as much as my mother, you haven't married yet, if there is a case, the Lin family will be extinct, have you thought about it?" How did you and Gu Xuefei get married smoothly in the first place, and Gu Xuefei was pregnant, then I would definitely not object today. ”

"Yes, your second sister is right, it just won't work if you don't have it." Lin Lu said busily.

Lin Dong smiled slightly, "Second Niang, Second Sister, why are you so unconfident in me?" I know my mission as Lin Jialang, and I promise that I will not lose my life easily, and it will not be too late to marry this marriage event when I come back after making meritorious contributions. ”

Hearing such words, Lin Qi, Lin Lushi, and Quan Meihuan glanced at each other, and they all felt deeply powerless.

In the end, Quan Meihuan said ruthlessly, "If you want to go, your mother won't stop you, but you have to stay later, so let's take a concubine first, and we will have the same room in the next few days, so that we can also have the opportunity to give birth to a boy and half a girl, and I can also have an explanation for your father under Jiuquan." ”

Conquest?

This time, not only Lin Dong was stunned, but Lin Long, Lin Qi, and Lin Lu looked at Quan Meihuan with wide eyes.

Lin Long couldn't help but want to stroke her forehead, this bad idea was only what her mother could think of, giving birth to an eldest son is not a good reputation, in the future, Lin Dong wants to marry the daughter of a good family, and people will dislike this, "Mother, you really have nothing to do, what kind of concubine do you accept now?" The concubine was more advanced than the main room, and gave birth to the eldest son, have you thought about it, how will the main room deal with itself in the future? The concubine is big and the wife is small, so don't think about a peaceful day in this back house. ”

"That's right, mother, you don't open which pot to mention, I don't approve of taking concubines, it's unfair to future brothers and sisters, and I don't want a nephew who is a concubine, and there is no difference between concubines." Lin Qi has always disagreed with taking concubines, in her eyes, none of the men who take concubines have a good thing, of course, her father's situation back then was a special case.

If it weren't for her mother's death, her father would not have carried Lin Lu's into the door, and in the end, he was tired of Lin Lu's widowhood before his death, and he was widowed directly after his death.

Lin Lu's own family is a concubine, and she is not easy to say if she opposes concubines, but she still expresses her attitude, "Sister Long and Sister Qi are right, I am worried that if this is the case, what will happen if the daughters of good families in the capital refuse to marry our brother Dong in the future?" A concubine is a concubine after all, how can she come forward to take charge of the feed? ”

If any family is allowed to let the aunt welcome the exchange of favors and preside over the affairs of the house, no one will be able to afford such a family, and there must be a basket of ugly words behind it, and she herself is a ready-made example.

In the past, she didn't have the name of the main room, and she could only hide things, but now that she has this title, others still treat her as a concubine, and the noblewomen in the capital actually don't really look up to her, and will give her face, but also for the sake of Lin Long and Lin Qi sisters.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, in case, I mean, in case, Brother Dong really died, then what should we do?" Kwon Mi-hwan cried bitterly again.

Why would she want her son to take a concubine first and then take a wife? But there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, and she is also out of consideration for the overall situation.

Lin Long glanced at Lin Qi, the three sisters and brothers, Lin Qi and Quan Meihuan have the best relationship, after all, under the same roof, this relationship is naturally much deeper.

Lin Qi reluctantly stepped forward and grabbed his mother's shoulder, "Mother, Brother Dong hasn't set off yet, don't be a crow's mouth first, don't be a good and ugly spirit ......"

Quan Meihuan didn't listen to it, and cried even more sadly when she heard it.

"Sister Qi, why do you talk like that? Hurry up and make a few snorts. Lin Lu said busily.

Lin Qi also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he snorted three times according to what Lin Lu said, and then patted his mouth, "It's me who speaks without brains, but mother, don't just cry, if Brother Dong really eats the scales and has an iron heart, what can we do?" It is only right to wish Brother Dong a victorious return. ”

Quan Meihuan thought about it and said the same, so she gradually stopped crying, but her expression seemed very sluggish.

"Since Brother Dong has made up his mind, it is useless for us to oppose it, Brother Dong, you have to promise us that you must return safely."

Lin Long saw that his mother's mood had stabilized, so he relieved his tone and expressed support for Lin Dong's decision.

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely go and come back well." Lin Dong stepped forward and hugged the eldest sister, and the expression on his face was much more relaxed.

Lin Long hugged Lin Dong hard, "Brother Dong, you are a manly husband, don't say anything about the next sister, there are only two words for you, take care!" ”

"I will, sister." Lin Dong also hugged his most respected eldest sister back.

Then hugged Lin Qi and Lin Lushi one by one, and when it was Quan Meihuan's turn, he looked at his mother's tearful eyes seriously, and called her again many years later.

This mother made Quan Meihuan cry completely, for this title, she was secretly sad for many years, even the hard-hearted eldest daughter compromised, but this son never called her a mother again.

Lin Dong hugged Quan Meihuan deeply, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely return safely." ”

"Mother...... Waiting for ......"

Quan Meihuan knew that she was powerless to stop Lin Dong from fighting for this fame, all she could do was to burn more incense and worship the Buddha and bless her son with a safe return.

Lin Lushi saw that the mother and son were truly reconciled, and they were also happy for their mother and son, unlike the Lin sisters, she and Lin Dong had to live under the same roof after all, so she was not worried that Lin Dong would completely fall to Quan Meihuan and disrespect her, she still had some confidence in her beloved child.

"Okay, okay, everyone said it's open, let's go have a reunion dinner, the food is cold now, I'll let people go and heat it up." With that, she turned to walk away.

Lin Long hurriedly grabbed her, "Erniang, your body is not comfortable, let the next person be busy with these things." ”

"If it's not in the way, how can it be so fragile?" Lin Lu's illness is due to a rush to attack the heart, to put it bluntly, the heart is incomprehensible, and now that he has seen it, this disease will be cured without medicine, how can there be any discomfort?

Lin Dong stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Lu's, "Erniang, let them get busy, you have a good rest, I fainted yesterday, and I still have palpitations when I think about it now." ”

Seeing Lin Dong's filial piety to himself, Lin Lu's heart was sweeter than eating sugar, "Ming'er Erniang will give you a peace charm to wear on your body, bless you with all the best and peace and security." ”

"Erniang says anything." Lin Dong smiled sincerely.

Quan Meihuan is not jealous of her son's closeness to Lin Lu's family, no matter what, Lin Lu's family has also paid a lot, and if Lin Lu's didn't tell her, she was afraid that she would still be kept in the dark.

I'm afraid that her son will set off thousands of miles away before she can know the truth of the matter, speaking of which, she has some opinions about her two daughters, especially Lin Qi, who didn't notify her as soon as she received the news, she really deserved to be beaten.

"Mother, what are you doing beating me?" Lin Qi retracted his hand with an aggrieved face, and walked a little staggering with a big belly.

"Who told you to hide from me about your brother?" Kwon Mi-huan glared at her little daughter unhappily.

"Wasn't I afraid you'd be worried? You're good, but now you're relying on me? Lin Qi felt even more wronged, and didn't tell his mother about it, because he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it.

"Are you embarrassed to argue?" Quan Meihuan is going to fight again.

Lin Long, who was walking with Lin Lu's family, saw the quarrel between the mother and daughter out of the corner of his eye, so he turned his head and said, "Okay, stop playing with the spear, mother, be careful of Qi'er's belly." ”

Quan Meihuan woke up and realized that her little daughter was still pregnant, so she put down the hand she wanted to hit and instead supported her, "With such a big belly, I don't know how to dodge." ”

"Mother, don't I honor you." Lin Qi braggatously boasted to himself.

Only then did Quan Meihuan have a little smile on her face.

When the meal was about to start, Ye Xuyao and Huo Yuan happened to arrive at the same time, Lin Dong happily got up to greet the two brothers-in-law, there has always been a topic of men between men, Lin Lu hurriedly ordered people to set up another table, let them eat and talk, at least there are pregnant women at this table, but they can't be allowed to mess around.

Ye Xuyao and Huo Yuan were also happy with this arrangement, and Lin Dong hurriedly went to the outer hall with the two of them for dinner.

"Without them, let's eat together and be quiet." Lin Long said with a smile.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Lushi quietly took Lin Long's hand and asked in a low voice, "Sister Long, is your little day too late?" Is it again this time? ”

Lin Longzheng stuffed a piece of fish meat with good spines in Xiao Liu's mouth, and also replied in a low voice, "Erniang, don't be public, I haven't found a doctor to diagnose it yet." ”

"I think eighty percent of them are pregnant again, and it would be nice to have a sister next year." Lin Lu glanced at Lin Long's stomach happily.

Just because Lin Long has many sons, she didn't talk about having another son or anything, it would be better to have a caring girl.

"Is it really again?" Kwon Mihuan's ears were very pointed, and she hurriedly asked clearly.

Lin Qi also looked at the eldest sister curiously, and exclaimed, "Sister, you won't have it again, right?" How old is Brother Guang'er? Sister, I suspect that you have hidden good things in private and refused to give them to me. ”

It is extremely difficult for her to conceive a second child, but her sister is good, giving birth one after another, as far as she said, none of the sows can be born to her sister.

Lin Long hurriedly took a piece of Lin Qi's favorite chicken into her bowl, "Eat your meat, don't be surprised, it will make people laugh." After a pause, "If I have something good, can I hide it from you?" ”

"Aren't I envious of your good life?" Lin Qi pouted and picked up the chicken and ate it.

"Mother, wait a few days for the house doctor to diagnose the pulse to be sure, and how old Xiao Liu is, I'm not in a hurry." Although Lin Long said this, his hand gently stroked his lower abdomen, which was not yet Cole's bulge.

Although she gave birth to six children in four consecutive years, she is still very much looking forward to the arrival of a new life, perhaps this is motherhood.

"If there is, it will be the happiest event during this time." Kwon Mi-huan looked at her eldest daughter's flat lower abdomen with a rare expression.

She didn't have many children herself, and it's good to watch her children spread out.

The women in the back room can't talk about children, and the men outside are much more serious.

Huo Yuan didn't take the initiative to ask for help because Lin Qi was about to give birth, but he had been rolling on the battlefield for so many years, and the way to survive was a set of words, and now he poured out all of them to teach his brother-in-law.

This was the first time Lin Dong had heard this, and most of them were Huo Yuan's experience, so he listened very carefully, and it was undecided that he might also have the opportunity to encounter such a dangerous situation, and it was a good thing that someone could pass on his experience.

Ye Xuyao's battlefield experience is naturally not as much as Huo Yuan's, but he has been in the officialdom for so many years, and Lin Dong's main responsibility is to supervise the army, so there are a lot of twists and turns, and naturally there are a few more words than usual.

How precious Lin Long is this younger brother, how can he not know?

If Lin Dong had three longs and two shorts, how sad Lin Long would be, he really couldn't imagine it.

When Lin Dong heard these words of concern, his heart was inevitably warm, and he personally poured wine for the two brothers-in-law several times.

Huo Yuan drank all the contents of the cup and patted the respectful brother-in-law on the shoulder, "The second brother-in-law can do a lot, this is temporary, even if I want to stuff the things full of things into your head, I'm afraid it's too late, so let's send you a team of personal soldiers, only responsible for your safety......"

"Second brother-in-law, this ......" Lin Dong was stunned for a while, did Huo Yuan drink too much?

Ye Xuyao said, "Brother-in-law, it's right to listen to him, the soldiers around him are all experienced in a hundred battles, and it is more than enough to protect your life as a weak scholar, well, I will also send a clear guest to you, so that if you encounter trouble on the road, I can give you an idea or something, this officialdom is like a battlefield, and you can't be negligent for a moment." ”

Lin Dong was immediately moved, put down the wine jug, got up and made a deep bow to the two brothers-in-law, "I, Lin Dong, will never forget the kindness of the two brothers-in-law." ”

"Don't be so polite, we are a family, how can we talk two words?" Huo Yuan was impatient with the actions of these mothers-in-law, and pulled Lin Dong to sit aside, "Come, continue drinking." ”

Ye Xuyao clinked glasses with Huo Yuan, and drank all the contents of the cup.

Because of the arrangements made by Ye Xuyao and Huo Yuan later, the Lin sisters were a little relieved, at least Lin Dong's life was guaranteed, all they could do was wait for him to return safely.

The day of departure was coming in the blink of an eye, and Lin Dong said goodbye to his relatives in official uniforms, and then stepped on his horse and galloped into the distance.

Lin Long held back her tears, waved the handkerchief in her hand at him, and finally cried into her husband's arms.
