Chapter 238: The Lin Family
"Brother Xiu, what's wrong?" The girl Lin Weiyu is Lin Aike's sister, when the Lin family committed a crime and was exiled, she went north with her parents to this bitter cold place - Heihe. According to blood relationship, she is Chen Zixiu's cousin. Helpless, according to the law, all the younger generations of the Jing'an Hou family can only be the mother-in-law of the mother-in-law Hua's Anhou Mansion, and the young master of the Chang'an Hou family surnamed Hua is Chen Zixiu's cousin. As for the queen...... Because the Lin family is a sinner, the Lin family did not dare to rush to recognize the prince of the Hou Mansion as the young master, and only called Chen Gongzi. Chen Zixiu was able to come to visit them, bring news of Lin Aike, and even help them improve their lives, and the Lin family is still very grateful.
It's just that life in the north is hard, and even though the Lin family doesn't dare to kiss, they still have a little side idea.
"But my brother has sent a letter?" Lin Weiyu smiled like a flower, and trotted over happily, holding a newly folded flower branch in her hand, red and gorgeous, and even more dazzling with that sweet smile. A twenty-eight-year-old girl, that full of youthful vitality, is three years of hard work, wind and frost and rain, and it cannot be completely erased. It's just that compared with girls of the same age in the capital, Lin Weiyu has rough skin, her facial features are long, and she looks more mature and sensible.
It's much more sensible than that one who can only mess around......
Chen Zixiu looked away unnaturally, chuckled and shook his head, "No." It's an instrument. ”
"Oh." The girl had a disappointed look on her face, she looked at the letter carefully, then at the tall and handsome young man, bit her lower lip, and asked in a low voice, "But...... Brother Xiu is going back? After finishing speaking, his eyes were a little red, and his nose was sour, so he couldn't help but inhale. Without waiting for the young man to answer, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the young man with resolute eyes, "Brother Xiu, wait a minute, I'll go and talk to my father and mother to see if they have anything to ask my brother to take back to Echo." ”
Looking at the girl who quickly turned around and left, like a fluttering pink butterfly, she swooped towards the simple house at the foot of the mountain, Chen Zixiu's lips opened and closed a few times, but she finally didn't call anyone.
Sooner or later, he'll have to go back.
Eight months is the limit of his or her patience, right?
"This is leaving?" In the simple cabin arranged for the exiled criminals, Lin Mu asked anxiously, "But I said I want to take you back?" ”
Father Lin coughed heavily, glared, and scolded, "What nonsense? That's the prince of the Hou Mansion! ”
"What's wrong with the prince of the Hou Mansion? His family asked you to carry the black pot, can't you take care of my daughter? Mother Lin crossed her waist and crossed her eyebrows. Three years of bitter cold life, being oppressed and squeezed everywhere, and the families of prisoners fighting and scolding each other, fighting for a small profit, grabbing an old wooden basin discarded by others or a stool missing a leg can even fight, Mother Lin is no longer the mother of the gentle and dignified and generous official eunuch family back then. A woman as graceful and noble as she used to be, who had died in exile, did not want to be one of those bones!
She also has a son! She must live until the day her son is born!
Father Lin knew that he couldn't make sense with his wife, so he pointed to his daughter and said, "However, Wei Yu has ...... She's not...... Alas! He couldn't say that word, so he had to squat on the ground in annoyance, holding his head in his hands, and his withered ten fingers gently tugging at the dull and dull gray hair, which had been somewhat dull.
Lin Weiyu's eyes were gloomy, with a sense of hatred, and she lowered her voice and said, "Let's say a few words." It's as if people don't know about these ugly things. ”
"I hate only that cell boss! Kill a thousand knives and cut off the children and grandchildren! Mother Lin grinded her teeth hatefully.
The sentenced prisoner is exiled by his family, how can he not be coveted by others with such a delicate flower-like daughter. As soon as the verdict was issued, the cell boss found a reason to carry Miss Lin out, saying that he wanted to interrogate the case, but he did not come back that night, and when he returned the next day, the disheveled Miss Lin was crazy, almost knocking her head on the wall, her voice was hoarse, and her red and swollen eyes were stunned and could not shed a single tear. If it weren't for Mother Lin's stubborn pull and forcefully fed the food and soup, it is estimated that the child would have lost his fragrance in a few days.
At that time, Lin Aike's situation was actually very bad, fortunately, Chen Zixiu was able to visit the men's prison, and stuffed money to take care of the cell head, the jailer didn't dare to take Lin Aike for the sake of the prince of the Hou Mansion, the emperor took a fancy to the child on the day he left Beijing, and stayed, Lin's father and Lin's mother were worried and comforted in their hearts, and secretly said that their son finally didn't have to suffer from exile, and he would not be bullied and would not die on the road, but he was worried that if the emperor tortured the child, no one could save him!
At that time, they didn't know that the emperor liked men. I don't know what kind of price Chen Zixiu paid in order to ask the emperor to forgive the Lin family's life.
In addition, the place of exile was too far away, the transportation was inconvenient, and the information was not developed, so they did not know anything about the movements of the capital, and even the officials who guarded the exiles did not know much about the news of the capital, and only occasionally when a new wave of sinners were exiled, they knew the general movements. For example, the assassination on Chinese New Year's Eve in the second year of Zhengyuan sent several more families. Of course, these are all involved, and the mastermind and his left arm and right arm are almost clicked. These people who can't get in touch with the political center naturally don't know the situation of the court, but the emperor's moody personality is ruthless, murderous and bloodthirsty, but it is promoted by these new residents, and the emperor's preference for men is nothing compared to these terrible dark personalities.
Even, the original social status of the criminals is not enough to know that Chen Zixiu is the emperor's favorite. Such a private matter related to the face of the Hou Mansion and the emperor's style, except for the courtiers who can stand on the Jinluan Palace, no one dares to take it out and chew their tongues. Don't want to die?
Therefore, the Lin family naturally didn't know that Chen Zixiu was warming the emperor's bed.
"Dad, is what my mother said true? Are you really taking the blame for them? Lin Weiyu grasped the point of the problem.
Father Lin would only sigh and wave his hand, "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense." Dad, this is deserved. "He is really greedy, and he also oppresses people by taking advantage of the power of the Hou Mansion. It is a matter of course to take some responsibility for the Hou Mansion. Besides, the death penalty was changed to exile, I heard that it was the Hou Mansion behind the effort, and the son was also saved (they didn't know that the Hou Mansion actually wanted them to die), so what happened to helping the Hou Mansion hide something? Children will have to rely on the Hou Mansion for their future production!
Lin Weiyu didn't believe it, and suddenly came up with a solution.
