Chapter 309: Tribulation
Huo Wu went to Uncle Huo, and he was able to enter the house without being informed, and when he arrived at the Lin Mansion, he was a distinguished guest.
As soon as the front appeared, someone immediately sent a message inside.
Master Lin brought Lin Jin and Lin Ping'an to greet them.
Seeing Huo Wuxi's appearance, Master Lin wondered in his heart.
The Chuzhou Army has won five state capitals in two ways in the spring, and now it is preparing to "march west", is there any good news coming back?
Are the bigwigs of the court stupid again?
Or are the signs of infighting on Qi Chunjun's side becoming more and more obvious?
The Qichun Army has become a lesson for the Chuzhou Army.
Even on the side of the Chuzhou Army, with the expansion of power, it should further centralize power to prevent any signs of splitting.
Huo Wu didn't sell Guanzi, and said directly: "Sir, Huo Shun brought the eldest prince back, the day before yesterday from Songjiang into the river, and the day after tomorrow to Jinling!" ”
Master Lin heard this. I stumbled and almost fell.
Lin Jin and Lin Ping'an hurriedly stepped forward to support them.
Master Lin was concerned about the chaos, and he was a little afraid: "Qingwen...... It's a ...... It's a dead ......."
People are coming back, they are coming back...... The corpse comes back and it comes back......
Father and son have been separated for more than ten years, and Master Lin has thought about doing bad results.
Huo Wuyi was stunned, then shook his head and said, "It's good, sir, don't worry...... If there is something wrong, An Yong will not send someone to come back first to report the good news! ”
Only then did Master Lin stand firm and solemnly bow to Huo Wu.
Huo Wu hurriedly held on: "It's not an outsider, why should Mr. be so polite!" ”
Master Lin understands that this is not just a matter of picking up people, in order to go north to Liaodongwei, Huo Wu almost lost a cousin.
There is only one clansman within the five suits of the Huo family, and there is only one cousin and nephew, Huo Shun, if he really loses money for picking up people, Master Lin will not be at ease in the future.
In the past six months, Huo Shun's life and death have been uncertain, but Huo Wu has no intention of regretting his anger, but has comforted Master Lin several times.
How can Master Lin not be grateful in his heart?
Now that he finally has a good result, he has a deep feeling for Huo Wu.
Huo Wu helped him, so he didn't do anything more, but said to Lin Jin and Lin Ping'an: "Your father returned safely, thanks to the great grace of the fifth master, you need to remember this kindness!" ”
Lin Jin and Lin Ping'an lowered their hands to listen, and both knelt down.
The two juniors, Huo Wu didn't stop anymore, and only said: "The dock has already been stared at, you two have to spare your efforts in the past two days, so that you can go over and pick up people." ”
Lin Jin and Lin Ping'an responded solemnly, and they were a little excited.
Lin Qingwen has been assigned to Liaodongwei as a criminal minister for more than ten years, and his flesh and blood are separated, and the Lin family naturally wants to welcome him personally.
Lin Ping'an is okay, but he is really happy for Master Lin.
Although there is still Lin Jin, the only grandson, by his side, Master Lin is most at ease with his eldest son who is far away in Liaodong.
Lin Jin's mood was a little complicated, and he was a little homesick.
The father of the biological body, in the year of the weak crown, was hit by the Sanding Armor, and then became a criminal minister in the change of imperial power, and it has been more than ten years.
Lin Jin fled with his grandfather without remembering, although Master Lin later painted a portrait of his son, but above it was a weak young man, which was somewhat similar to the current Lin Jin's face......
At Jinling Wharf, the Taiwei Mansion and the Lin family all sent people to keep an eye on it.
On April 22, Huo Wu's father and son, Huo's uncle and grandson, Huo Bao, Niu Qing, and the Lin family's grandson all arrived at the dock early.
Yesterday, the news came back that Huo Shun's ship was parked a hundred miles away for the night, and after calculating the time, he would be able to arrive in Jinling before noon today.
"I didn't take the same road as Dadu, but came directly from Goryeo...... Fortunately, I entrusted you with Uncle Jiu, otherwise it would be really hard to say when I would be able to come back......"
Huo Wu sighed at his son.
Huo Shun took more than 100 people to the north in June last year, by land; Now that the waterway is back, this boat will not come in vain.
It turned out that with the instability of Huanghuai and Jiangnan, Liaodong also began to be unstable.
Unlike the white shirts in Huanghuai and Jiangnan, Liaodong was caused by the northern barbarian tribes taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, and the local guards had long been deserted, and the resistance was weak, so there was some chaos.
The imperial court covered its ears and stole the bell, and directly closed the Yuguan in and out of Liaodong.
In order to prevent the news of the retreat from leaking and causing panic among the people, the imperial court pretended to strictly check the customs clearance procedures, and in the name of "unqualified", expelled all the people and merchants who wanted to leave the customs.
The Chuzhou army sent manpower twice, but they were also expelled back for various reasons and forbidden to leave the customs.
Huo Wushi had no choice, so he sent a letter to the "Ninth Master" and asked him to help him go to Liaodong to find out Huo Shun's news.
This time, Huo Shun came back, which was to borrow the light of the "Ninth Master".
Hearing this "Ninth Uncle" again, Huo Bao was very curious: "Uncle Nine didn't say anything to come to Jinling?" ”
Although it is a troubled era now, in Huainan and Jiangnan, the Chuzhou army can be regarded as standing firm.
Huo Wu shook his head and said: "Lao Jiu chose the sea, he won't go ashore easily, and when he is free, Dad will take you to Songjiang ......"
This "Ninth Master" Shenlong saw the head and the end, and he couldn't compare to the owner of the horse village, Xue Biao, Du Laoba and others who were by Huo Wu's side, accompanying Huo Wu to play the territory, but it was said that there was no lack of help.
Huo Wu thought about the goodness of this brother with a different surname.
In the anticipation of everyone, the two big ships arrived at Jinling Wharf.
On the deck, Huo Shun stood side by side with a middle-aged scribe, and he was also excited when he saw everyone on the dock.
After getting off the boat, Huo Shun quickly stepped off the boat a few steps, and strode towards Uncle Huo and Huo Wuda: "Dad, fifth uncle, I'm back!" ”
Huo Shun is a lot darker, with a short beard, he looks several years older than last year, but his spirit is good, and his voice is a little louder.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
Uncle Huo patted his son on the shoulder and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Huo Wu was overjoyed.
Last year, Huo Shun suffered a big change, his wife and daughter were lost, and the whole person was decadent.
Later, he took revenge, and he also hated the whiteshirts in his heart.
But the white-shirted army in this world is the same, and the Huo family can't be divided into two groups anymore.
In order to understand his knot, Huo Wu asked him to set up a monitoring team to supervise the military discipline of the Chuzhou army.
Later, the former Binjiang magistrate was in charge of this stall, and Huo Shun was passed by Huo Wusai as a student and studied law with the old monk.
But then Huo Shun was ordered to go to Liaodong, and this trip was more than ten months.
Now that it has been reborn, it can be regarded as not a vain tempering.
The Huo family's father and son, uncle and nephew met each other, and the Lin family was also reunited.
Compared with the happy and harmonious side of the Huo family, the Lin family is a little embarrassed.
The middle-aged scribe who was standing on the deck with Huo Shun before was none other than Lin Qingwen, the son of Master Lin and the father of Lin Jin.
However, he did not disembark after Huo Shun, but returned to the cabin and helped out another person.
A woman, dressed in cloth, in her forties.
Look at this...... Like a husband and wife......
Master Lin's gaze fell on the woman's face, and Lin Jin was a little at a loss.
He lost his mother when he was young, so he would not mistake this woman for his mother, which was his stepmother?
Lin Ping'an was much calmer.
The adoptive father was assigned to Liaodong when he was in his twenties, and it has been more than ten years since then, and it is common to remarry.
"Daddy!"
Lin Qingwen helped the woman get off the boat, then put down the woman and knelt down in front of Master Lin.
At the beginning, father and son were separated, one was young and the other was middle-aged; Seeing each other again now, it is a middle-aged and an old man.
Master Lin pulled up his son, and he didn't cry like Uncle Huo, but his eyes were slightly red.
He didn't rush to catch up with his son, but looked at the woman: "It's ...... spring cherry blossoms"
The woman hurriedly went down: "The maid Chunying has seen the master!" ”
Master Lin was pleased: "It's good to come back, thanks to you for taking care of Qingwen all these years!" ”
This is the big girl next to Lin Qingwen, and later received it as a house after Lin Qingwen got married, and the Lin family was sold by the government when it was in trouble, and then it was ransomed and bought, and quietly sent to Liaodong to take care of Lin Qingwen's daily life.
The woman was uneasy and said, "It's all the slave's business......
"Dad, in the fifth year of Zhishun, my son helped Chun Ying as the steproom, and I have time to tell ......my father in the future."
Lin Qingwen said with a little apprehension.
Lin Qingwen was assigned to Liaodong in the first year of Zhishun, and the fifth year of Zhishun was already five years after Liaodong.
Master Lin nodded and said, "Your love for hardship is to give Chun Ying a name......
