Chapter 31: The Coming Storm 3
"Smack"
The jade pendant was scattered and split, looking at the crystal dots, Nangong Yan roared and roared: "Dad, I hate you... You can control me for a while, but you can't control me for a lifetime..."
Prince Qing's face was cold and angry, and he was as rude as a cow: "Take it away and lock up the county lord!" Several generals had no choice but to escort Nangong Yan out, but Prince Qing was still angry, thinking that the face of the palace was dirty by an unknown soldier, he scolded Nangong Bao angrily: "Go and check the details of that person immediately, this king must know everything involved, if he has a little to do with Yan'er, this king will break him into ten thousand pieces..."
"Dad, is this too much..."Nangong Bao hesitated, wanting to say something, but he didn't want Prince Qing to slap him, and Nangong Bao's head was clouded: "Do you want to oppose Lao Tzu!" ”
"Don't be angry, Dad, let's go!" Nangong Bao was timid for a moment, and immediately rushed to the door.
It wasn't until this moment that Fu Jin woke up from the roar, she wiped her tears and said, "Lord Wang, Yan'er is stubborn... You do this... It's going to hurt her! ”
"That's better than losing the face of the palace..."
Linshui County, after a winter of torture, this land ravaged by barbarians has finally relieved some vitality.
In the small courtyard of the Lin family, the newly built east gable barely gathered the popularity of the family, and in the backyard, several side houses and stables were not cleaned up, so a lot of sundries were piled up in the courtyard. In the stove room, Zhang and Yuan were making lunch, and when they saw Lin Mao coming in, Yuan said 'Third Brother' Be careful, and Zhang wiped his hands around his waist and trotted over: "Old man, what are you doing?" Hurry back to the house, it's cold and slippery, don't fall again! ”
"It's out of the way, I'm alone in the house in a panic, come out to breathe!"
Lin Mao smiled innocently: "Fourth brother and sister, where did Huai'an and Xiyue go?" I haven't seen it all morning! When the words fell, the door was pushed open with a 'squeak', Lin Huai'an put half of the pulled pork on his shoulder, and Xiyue turned a large basket behind him, which was full of dry goods.
"Third uncle, I'm lucky today, the winter food for the festival in the counties under the city has arrived, and the official who distributed the grain knows the name of my eldest brother and eldest brother, so he gave some more!"
Lin Mao nodded: "Okay, okay, Huai'an, hurry up and put down the rest, and eat more stewed meat for a while!" ”
"Uncle San, don't get in the way!" Lin Huai'an snorted, and the pride on his face was full of pride: "Third uncle, don't you know, now many people in the village are talking about the eldest brother and the eldest brother, saying how they are, what to save the city, retreat from the barbarians, I am sweating all over my body when I hear it..."
"Third uncle, when will they come back?" Xiyue is not as fast as Huai'an's mouth, so she can only interject such a sentence for a while.
"It's coming, it's coming..."Lin Mao said this, but he didn't know the bottom in his heart.
The Yuan family came out to take the dry goods from Xiyue's basket, and scolded Lin Huai'an with a smile: "Your eldest brother and eldest brother will come back when they should come back, don't talk nonsense here, there is no firewood in the stove room, hurry up and chop it!" ”
"Okay, mother!" Lin Huai'an carried the meat into the stove room, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the firewood room.
Feeling the excitement of his family, Lin Mao's heart was warm, half a month ago, the two of them secretly left Lincheng Mafu, although the Linshui House was desolate, but in the end it was his own roots, and Lin Mao also knew in his heart that the little grandfather Ma was not feeding them for nothing, it was all for Lin Xiu's face, and now Lin Xiu entered the middle with the army to receive the seal, I don't know when he will come back? It's not appropriate to bother people like this.
At this time, there were several horse noises outside the door, and when Lin Mao was confused about who would come to his broken house, Ma Quan pushed the door with a few people and entered.
"Yo, Little Master Ma..." Lin Mao hurriedly bowed down, and the horse came up with an arrow, kneeling down and hugging Lin Mao: "Old man, I can't help it, I went out to inspect and take care of local affairs a few days ago, and I only knew that you had left when I came back, if I let Brother Zhongyi know, I wouldn't be complaining!" ”
"No, no, Xiu'er is a reasonable person, the homecoming order has come down, there are many official affairs in Lincheng, you and Master Ma are busy every day and can't enter the house, let's take advantage of the homecoming order to come back as soon as possible..."
Ma Quanchong and the two respectfully said 'aunt', let the queen take out a scroll of paper, and said with a smile: "Old man, do you know what this is?" ”
"Huh?" Lin Mao shook his head blankly.
"This is the edict of Brother Zhong Yi, and I asked someone to bring it back from it!"
Hearing this, Lin Mao looked forward to it, Zhang's, Yuan's, and even Huai'an and Xiyue also rushed from the firewood room, and in everyone's eagerness, Ma Quannian said: "Lin Zhongyi, solo camp, breaking the enemy, brave, martial wisdom, with the emperor's might, deterring the northern barbarians, so the emperor's grace is vast, and he is given a piece of golden armor, and at the same time, the general is promoted to the rank of Xiao Cavalry Captain, the rank of sixth, and the leader of the capital is prepared for a thousand cattle..."
After reading it, Ma Quan put the paper scroll, which was not much bigger than a slap, into Lin Mao's trembling hand: "Old man, it won't be long before Brother Lin Xiu, no, it should be General Lin who will come back, and you can just wait to enjoy the blessings..."
"It's... Is this really me? Lin Mao didn't believe it, Ma Quan laughed: "Old man, you put your heart in your belly, on the ground in Northern Xinjiang, there is no second person who dares to use Zhong Yi as the word, except for Lin Xiu, a disciple of Yang Mao University!" After that, Ma Quan hugged his fists at Lin Mao and bowed: "Old man, if there is nothing else, the younger generation will take the first step." ”
At noon that day, Lin Mao didn't know how much he had drunk, and the surrounding neighbors also rushed to hear the wind, and for a while, the small broken yard of the Lin family caught up with the Lincheng County Government. During the banquet, Li Sheng looked anxious, even when he heard the news of his own tiger, Lin Mao couldn't control it because of his greed for cups, and said nonsense: "Lao Li, you are very anxious, their brothers since childhood, Xiu Neng will be a general, and your son is not far behind!" ”
Later, in the midst of everyone's respect, Lin Mao unknowingly became Master Lin and Old Man Lin...
Linshui County Mansion, Chen Yu looked at the meritorious service of the children of Northern Xinjiang in his hand, his heart was full of taste, he returned home late at night, passing by Chen Shuling's small courtyard, he accidentally found that Chen Shuling's house was still bright, and he could vaguely hear the whispering and cheerful ballads.
Pushing the door in, Chen Shuling was embroidering a sachet, Chen Yu didn't know what to say, just stood in front of the door, Chen Shuling smiled faintly, and said, "Dad, are you satisfied now?" ”
"Daughter, why do you say that?"
"The Yu family has always looked down on Brother Xiu as a businessman, and even deliberately made him go to the northern Xinjiang to serve in the army, wishing he would die outside, but God has eyes!" Chen Shuling put down the sachet and turned to Chen Yu: "Dad, what is the Yu family going to do this time?" Liupinxiao Cavalry Captain, three levels higher than your father, fourth-order rank, tell me, what do you want to do this time? What about your beloved wife? ”
Hearing this, the provocative stimulation deeply filled Chen Yu's heart, making him speechless for a while.
