Chapter 16 Paying Debts
The day of the Lin family's funeral was after the first seven days, and it happened to be the day when the Shuai Mansion married the Ye family.
Mr. Feng Shui said that the old man walked in a hurry, and there were many fetters and worries about the world, and on the day of the funeral, he should let him see the longest place in his life, and walk the roads he is accustomed to walking, so that he can sleep peacefully.
The carriage pulled the coffin of the black wood carving through the streets and alleys, Master Lin was kind and charitable in his life, where the hearse passed, the people who had received his favor spontaneously added the road to send each other, Lin Wanjing followed the brother holding the tablet at the front of the queue, and Liu Jin drove slowly at the end of the line. Walking to the downtown area, the funeral procession suddenly stopped, but saw a happy car with red silk flowers in the middle of the road 100 meters away. If it really hits, it should be the car to give way to the respect of the health person, but at the moment, the happy car in the middle of the road did not want to give way, but opened the door, walked down a girl with a phoenix crown, strode to the funeral procession, and spread her arms to make a gesture of stopping.
Lin Wanjing was helpless, sighed, and walked straight to the bride:
"Today is the day of my father's funeral, the ancestor has passed away, and I hope Miss Ye will leave some respect and make a way to go, so as not to miss the time."
"Joke!" Ye Qiuluo snorted coldly, "A suspect, what more respect do you need!" ”
"Miss Ye, I respect you as the daughter of a handsome general and don't care about you, I just didn't hear what I said, and I hope that Miss Ye will be self-respecting and virtuous."
"Who do you let the mouth of the German!" Ye Qiuluo's face was flushed with anger, and she raised her hand to slap Lin Wanjing, but as soon as her hand was raised, her wrist was choked. The man should have used ten percent of his strength, and her wrist was painful when her wrist was grabbed by the knuckle palm, almost to the bone, she turned her eyes to see which rude fanatic dared to make a move on her, her eyes just touched the man's face, and surprise immediately replaced anger: "Brother Yun Rou......"
The man standing in front of Ye Qiuluo with a cold face was Liu Jin, even when he heard Ye Qiuluo calling him, his expression did not show any pity.
"Brother Yun Rou, you are finally willing to see me, I know that you will not leave me alone......" Ye Qiuluo said this, sporadic tears floated from the corners of her eyes, but her crying was interrupted by Liu Jin indifferently:
"Today is Miss Ye's big day, appearing here at this hour, I'm afraid it's not in line with the rules, brother-in-law?"
"What...... What brother and daughter-in-law ......" Ye Qiuluo's voice trembled, "Brother Yun Rou, are you joking with me......?"
"I'm not bored enough to joke about it."
"How can I marry that piece of wood from Shaoxun!"
"What's not to do?" Liu Jin snorted coldly, "Didn't you dream of being the young lady of the Shuai Mansion?" ”
"But you know that the person I want to marry is you! It's just you who wants to marry from beginning to end! ”
"But I never promised to marry you." Liu Jin shook Ye Qiuluo's wrist away, "Go back, don't embarrass my Liu family here." ”
Ye Qiuluo's tearful eyes swept over Liu Jin's face, trying to find a little turnaround, but Liu Jin was so resolute, there was no pity in her expression, she was furious, pointed at Lin Wanjing and scolded:
"It's you! You vixen! What kind of ecstasy did you use on Brother Yun Rou, and you don't even want a family business to make him obsessed! How far do you want to harm Brother Yun Rou before you want to stop! ”
"Shut up!" Liu Jin shouted at her, "You have become a fox and a fake tiger, abusing lynching and innocent!" Didn't you cut the lives of the people in this carriage? You are still unrepentant, and you are here to speak wildly! ”
In the face of Liu Jin's reprimand, Ye Qiuluo trembled and couldn't say a word of rebuttal, and watched Liu Jin softly persuade Lin Wanjing to continue to go out of the city, don't delay the hour. There was a noise in the distance, and the men and horses sent by Ye Jiangxiong to find her finally arrived, and the leader of the team stepped forward and respectfully persuaded:
"Miss, please come back with us."
Ye Qiuluo came to his senses, and almost cried and ordered to the newly arrived guard division:
"The Lin family is plotting rebellion, take it down for me, and don't let a dog go!"
"Who dares to move!" Liu Jin pulled out his gun and pointed the wound on his upper load at Ye Qiuluo: "In front of me Liu Yunrou, when will it be your turn to give orders?" ”
"Brother Yun Rou...... You even threatened me with a gun? Ye Qiuluo said in disbelief, seeing that his attitude was resolute and there was no room for reversal, he sneered desperately, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Take them all! ”
The team leader can distinguish right from wrong, and cautiously persuades:
"Miss, let's go back, if the general is to blame......"
Liu Jin stopped talking to her and bowed deeply to the coffin:
"The younger generation is rude, I hope you will forgive me. Yunrou will open the way for you, please go on the road with peace of mind. ”
After finishing speaking, Liu Jin pointed his gun at the sky, solemnly three gunshots rang out, the carriage started slowly, and the team that had been stagnant for a long time finally continued to move forward, heading out of the city, gradually leaving Ye Qiuluo's cry behind.
The sealing bricks were stacked layer by layer, and finally separated the inside and outside of the tomb door into two worlds.
The mountain rain fell so quickly, with the chill of early autumn, hitting the body like a fine needlepoint, and it suddenly pierced the skin and flesh.
After the ceremony, everyone dispersed in the rain, leaving Lin Wanjing alone in front of the newly erected tombstone, the light plain yarn was soaked by the rain, and the hard work and sadness of the past few days had tormented her haggard, and the pale complexion of the paper lined the tight lips with a terrifying crimson, as if blood could seep at any time. Liu Jin took the umbrella behind her and covered most of the umbrella cover on her head, but she didn't seem to be aware of it, neither evaded nor responded, her expression was dull like a bottle puppet, and the dancing flame of the candle was reflected in her eyes, like burning in the deep forest of the cold night, and like sinking into the bottom of a lightless lake, so quiet that there was no trace of life.
"Wanjing, the people who hurt you today, I will make them return a hundred times the day."
This sentence seemed to have touched Lin Wanjing a little, but she saw her long eyelashes slightly fanned, and her thin lips opened lightly: "How to pay it back?" Life for life, blood for blood? Saying this, she turned to face Liu Jin and said, "I asked you that day, if one day, you have to make a choice between me and Jiangshan, how should you choose." On that day you said, "You choose this country." If I asked you the same question today, would your answer change? ”
"No, it won't." Liu Jin said resolutely.
Laughing, dyed the corners of Lin Wanjing's mouth, with a little desolation, mixed with a little despair. He knew what she was worried about, and finally said his original intention:
"If I don't want this country, how can I protect you from worry-free in this life and be comprehensive in your life?"
The rain fell quietly, hitting the tassel flowers that pressed the branches, as if the whole world had been quiet, and birds and birds swept through the forest, screaming and shattering a piece of slaughter. The sound of horses' hooves passed through the mountains and forests, and in a short time they came closer.
"Yun Shuai, the big marshal sent a message, saying that you should almost go back to the house, saying that no matter what, it would be rude to be absent......"
Liu Jin ignored the soldiers who came to pass the word, his eyes just looked at Lin Wanjing's clear eyes with fine tears, and then in the eager sound of horses' hooves, the tears slowly dissipated.
"Go ahead," she said, "thank you for today." ”
"Wanjing, do you understand what I just said?"
"Understood. Lin Wanjing paused, and then said, "But all I want is a husband and a complete home." ”
Probably because the rain soaked through his coat and the cold hit, Liu Jin only felt that he was standing in the ice and snow, and his whole body was stiff and couldn't move. Her appeal is so simple and simple, but such a seemingly simple appeal is something he can't promise to answer.
Li Lingrui, who had been standing in the distance from beginning to end, saw that the conversation between the two seemed to be deadlocked, sighed, and stepped forward:
"It's raining, let's go back."
Lin Wanjing said hello, and just said goodbye, Liu Jin's palm was already covering her cheek, she raised her eyes, and her eyes were facing each other, but in his eyes was a firmness that she couldn't read.
"Wait for me." He said, "When it's time for now, I have a lot to say to you." ”
Lin Wanjing didn't want her, there seemed to be something in her eyes, and her throat moved slightly, but she didn't open her mouth after all, and turned to leave.
The rain is indeed heavy, and soon a dense rain curtain will be pulled up between the heaven and the earth, the wind blows, blowing down the tassel flowers on the branches, the small white flowers fluttering and falling with the wind, Lin Wanjing's plain white back into the flower rain seems to melt into the vast snow.
Three days have passed, the happy events of the Liu Mansion have settled, and the mourning grief of the Lin family has gradually dissipated, but Lin Wanjing has been in a panic all day long, her expression is getting haggard day by day, she always feels that everything is just the beginning, this short calm is like a gap in the storm, she is just in the eye of the storm that seems to be peaceful and peaceful, and she doesn't know when the real storm will come.
The heavy rain began at ten o'clock in the morning, and it rained almost uninterrupted for a whole day, even until late at night, Ah Ling repeatedly checked the doors and windows for Lin Wanjing, and just said good night and was about to leave, the door of the living room was suddenly pushed open, and it slammed against the wall with a loud bang. The man who rushed in knelt down in front of Lin Wanjing:
"Miss, something is wrong! Come with me to the stall and have a look! ”
The uneasiness came true after all, but Lin Wanjing never expected that this uneasiness would come from Wanlixing, and she was a little confused for a while.
"What did you say, what are you doing here?" Ah Ling urged him.
"Yes...... Be...... A lot of people came to the stall, saying that the lord asked them to raise a lot of money. ”
"Raising money?" Ah Ling and Lin Wanjing looked at each other, both of them looking puzzled, so they then asked, "Can those people tell me the reason for raising money?" ”
"They are all rural villagers, saying that a few days ago someone went to the village with the chapter of Wanli Bank and the seal of the master, saying that our Wanli Bank's industry should be expanded, mobilizing everyone to take out money to buy shares, and promised six points of profit, because it is the name of Wanli Bank, and you are the young marshal's wife, most of the villagers have joined the shares. In fact, since the old man went, some people have come one after another to ask about this, we all thought it was some scoundrels, and sent away without taking it seriously, who knew that hundreds of people suddenly came during the day today, saying that they wanted Wanli Bank to repay the money, and ......"
"What else?! Don't spit it out! ”
He also brought out the coffin that had been buried a few days ago, saying that if he didn't pay back the money tonight, he would ...... The old man's bones are gone. ”
There was a roar in her ears, Lin Wanjing only felt that her eyes were black, and her figure shook twice and was about to fall, but fortunately, Ah Ling quickly helped her to the sofa and sat down - what kind of person is Master Lin, Lin Wanjing knows very well, although she has not asked about Wanlixing's business for a long time, but if she wants to make a decision to raise funds and buy shares, she will definitely not hide it from her, even if she really wants to raise money, it is to ask Qianzhuang Foreign Bank to borrow, and she will never go to the countryside to lobby the villagers, she can get the chapter of Wanli Bank, and she also knows that she will use her name to deceive, She doesn't have to think about who it is. Lin Wanjing only felt depressed in her heart, her chest seemed to be pressed against a boulder, she couldn't breathe out of breath, she finally exhaled, but it was a heart-rending pain, she wanted to speak, just opened her mouth, only to feel a fishy sweet liquid gushing up in her throat, and before she could swallow back, it had gushed out along the slightly open corners of her mouth.
"Oh my God! Miss! Ah Ling took a handkerchief to cover the blood from the corner of her mouth in a panic, turned back to the maid on duty who was stunned by the door, and shouted, "What are you doing there?!" Go and call Uncle Fu and call the doctor! ”
"No, I'm fine." Lin Wanjing waved her hand, "Call Ah Biao to prepare the car, and then let Chengtai go to Putuo Temple, and be sure to ask the masters who presided over the master to lead the chanting to come down the mountain." ”
"The young marshal's ......"
"You don't have to tell him." Lin Wanjing lowered her eyes, but she didn't say anything more, she only felt that the road in front of her seemed to lead to a deep cliff, and the deep cliff would sooner or later pull her down and fall into the purgatory of the sea of bitterness, until she died.
