Chapter 262: Seventy percent conjecture
In order to encourage people's enthusiasm for work, Lin Zhu will certainly not forget the people in Zhuyuan, Feng Yuanbo also went to Song County for this reason, and after careful inspection, he sent all the rewards.
Since then, Lin Zhu has clearly felt that people are not only happy to work, but also always smiling. It seems that this reward has had a positive effect.
People's hearts are all flesh and blood, although they were all bought by Lin Zhu, Lin Zhu naturally has the power of life and death for them, but he can't command their thoughts.
If they can promote their sense of identity with themselves in this way, Lin Zhu is still very willing to do it, and she is naturally more humane in managing people with some modern souls.
But both sticks and honey are indispensable, and Feng Yuanbo plays the role of sticks. Some of the problems of the subordinates are solved by him in blackface.
Lin Zhu lived her distant life in Wang Village. But in the capital, because of her, there will be a storm.
Because of a little doubt in his heart, the old man Wang Minghan had to find his rival, the old man Lin Dayuanlin, the head of the household department.
And Wang Minghan's sudden invitation made Lin Dayuan a little puzzled, but the two had not spoken to each other for many years, and since there was such an opportunity, Old Man Lin naturally went down the steps and did not hold the shelf again.
The two sat opposite each other in the private room of the Drunken Immortal Building. Of course, it is the kind that is serious and has a door, after all, the two old men are important ministers in the court, and the two of them have not been Mu for many years, and they suddenly sit together, so that people can see it, and it will definitely set off a topic in the capital.
"Brother Wang, you and I haven't sat opposite each other like today for many years." Old Man Lin sat opposite Old Man Wang. I poured myself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Old Man Wang also poured himself a drink and sighed lightly, "Brother Lin has always been good?" Although the two are officials in the same dynasty, the two sides have reached the point of turning a blind eye.
"I've always felt ashamed of Brother Wang." The two of them, who haven't spoken for more than ten years, now apologize as soon as they open their mouths.
"Where, after all, there is also my fault." The glasses of the two finally collided.
You also apologized and I also admitted my mistake, the more the two of them drank more and more, and I didn't know that a pot of wine had gone down.
"Brother Wang, I heard that Yurou's girl is coming back?" There is a slight redness on the face. But Old Man Lin's mind is still very clear.
"yes. It's been more than a decade and I'm finally coming back. At this time, Old Man Wang revealed the longing feelings of an old father.
"It was I who treated Yurou's girl badly and made her suffer so many grievances." Old Man Lin said a little gloomily.
"Creation makes people, what does it have to do with Brother Lin." Old Man Wang had already seen it at this time. "Besides, the two children are doing well now. I don't want to mention it. ”
"Yes. Drink alcohol. Old Man Lin nodded, raised his wine glass, and drank it all again.
Naturally, the company of Old Man Wang is indispensable.
"Still. There is something I want to ask Brother Lin to solve my doubts. Old Man Wang put down his wine glass and looked at Lin Dayuan with a straight face. Why has there been no news of the child left by Yurou back then? ”
Old Man Lin, who was still a little drunk, immediately sobered up when he heard his question. "Why did Brother Wang ask this, wasn't she taken to your house just after the full moon?"
Old Man Wang's wine also woke up, and the two stared at each other for a while.
"No, the old man has never seen that child, and he has never heard of being sent to my house." Old Man Wang said categorically.
"How is that possible?" Old Man Lin stood up suddenly, didn't stand firmly, and supported the table with his hand. He looked into Old Man Wang's eyes and knew that he was not lying.
"Where did the kid go?" The two asked in unison.
From shock to anger, the two slapped the table in unison, shook the cups and plates on the table, and spilled some of the wine and food inside.
"Brother Wang, Yurou's girl is coming back soon, did she take it away back then?" Old Man Lin suddenly thought of this possibility.
"No, though she never came back, there was always a letter coming, and if the child was with her, she would have said it. When she left, did she give me the opportunity to look after the child for her? Old Man Wang shook his head.
"It looks like someone down there is hiding from us and doing something that shouldn't be done." After all, Old Man Lin is an important minister in the court, so he naturally has his prestige, but now his momentum is revealed, and his eyes are a little unkind.
Although he may not have attached much importance to that child, someone who has made a person under his nose have not been, and he is so bold that he dares to challenge his authority, so naturally he needs to bear the thunderous wrath he has now.
"But Brother Wang, why did you mention this child today?" Old Man Lin is also a little strange, it has been almost twelve years, so he mentioned the matter of that child, which had to make him suspicious.
So Mr. Wang, when he met Lin Zhu that day, he felt that she had a temperament and was a little familiar, and then he went to ask Dr. Zhang about it.
"I think this little girl is a little different, and Old Man Zhang has a very high opinion of her, he is not so easy to praise." Old Man Wang expressed his doubts again, "I heard that before she was eight years old, she was taken care of by a steward surnamed Lin and a woman surnamed Wang. Does Brother Lin have an impression of these two people? ”
"Someone." Old Man Lin couldn't think of it, so he immediately called his attendants. "Let's find out if there was a steward surnamed Lin and a woman surnamed Wang in the mansion eleven years ago."
The attendants bowed their heads and led the order out. "Brother Wang, don't worry, this matter must be investigated."
"The old man also knows that the existence of this child is really embarrassing, but he is getting old, and when he thinks of her, he is a little ashamed and embarrassed, and it is difficult for Brother Lin." Old Man Wang took a sullen sip of wine.
Of course, Old Man Lin also knew what he meant, this child was not a glorious existence for the Lin family and the Wang family. It can be said that it is even more shameful for the Wang family or Wang Yurou.
But now the two of them thought that the child might not be alive, after all, after so many years, there was no news at all.
After a while, the attendant returned, whispered a few words in Old Man Lin's ear, and went down.
After listening to this, Old Man Lin's face turned red with anger, and he slapped the table fiercely, "Bastard thing!" ”
Seeing him like this, Old Man Wang knew that the situation was not good, looked at Old Man Lin, and waited for him to explain the situation.
"There are no two people in the house." Old Man Lin took a breath and continued, "But more than ten years ago, two people did leave the mansion and never came back. ”
After taking the child away, change your name and surname?! Old Man Wang had this idea in his heart.
I have to send someone to Linjia Village to check. The two of them glanced at each other, and both had this thought.
"Brother Wang, how is the little girl you met?" Old Man Lin is now almost seventy percent sure that Lin Zhu is his granddaughter.
"Yes, I should be doing well, and I recognized Old Man Zhang as my godfather." Old Man Wang said bitterly.
"What's your name?" Old Man Lin was also very depressed. According to his character, it wouldn't have been like this, but he was shocked by the sudden blow.
"Lin Zhu. Thinking about it this way, Yu Rou named her at that time, saying that it was Lin Xiuzhu, and she must have gone to a word. Old Man Wang sighed in a low voice.
Old Man Lin was also silent, but what he was thinking about now was more, if Lin Zhu was really his granddaughter, how would he explain her existence?
After all, in the capital, except for the people of the two families of King Lin, no one knows that there is such a person in Lu Dao, and among the youngest grandchildren of the two families, no one knows about Lu Dao.
This is the most realistic question facing the two.
The first drink between the two after more than ten years ended silently, and both of them decided that if it was really proved that Lin Zhu was indeed their granddaughter and granddaughter who had been missing for more than ten years, then her identity still needed to be kept secret.
For her good, and for the peace of the two families.
But after Old Man Lin went back, he secretly sent someone to check on Lin Zhu's matter as soon as possible. When he learned that Lin Zhu had begged Lin Yuewei, he had the idea of seeing her.
"I heard that Xiao Qi was lost in the temple, right?" Old Man Lin sat on the top seat, looking at the third son Lin Shurui and his wife Zhao below.
"Wei'er is naughty, which worries my father." Lin Shurui didn't know what his father meant by suddenly mentioning this matter. I had to answer carefully.
"What did the people around him do? Even a five-year-old child can't look at it, such a person, our Lin Mansion can't afford to use it, let's drive it out! Old Man Lin's eyes swept over the Zhao family who was standing aside.
Zhao felt a tremor in his heart, as if he had been seen through by Old Man Lin, and replied a little timidly, "The daughter-in-law respects her father's orders. ”
"Humph!" Old Man Lin snorted coldly, which made them even more uneasy in their hearts.
"The person who saved Xiao Qi, have you ever thanked him?"
"Back to my father, the man asked for the money and left." Lin Shurui had listened to his wife that day, so he naturally knew what was going on.
"Smack" Old Man Lin put the teacup heavily on the table. "No wonder there are rumors that the Lin Mansion treats people coldly."
Lin Shurui and Zhao didn't understand why Old Man Lin said this, and raised their eyes to look at him suspiciously.
"You sent someone to invite the person who saved Xiao Qi into the mansion and thank her well," Old Man Lin ignored the two and said to himself, "I heard that Xiao Qi is still losing his temper, so I just told him about it and asked him to stop for a while." ”
Old Man Lin is completely a relative of the next generation, and he also likes this little grandson very much, also because he is not like Lin Shurui and Zhao, but very similar to his own temper.
Lin Shurui and Zhao listened to Old Man Lin's words, and they both regarded it as a decision made by him who felt sorry for his grandson, since it was for the good of his son, and now they were indeed disturbed by Lin Yuewei, so they quickly sent someone to invite Lin Zhu. (To be continued......)
