On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was still bright, and Lin Lan had just finished wiping the medicine for that Xiaoqiang from the bamboo forest, and before the pillow had been touched, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lan'er, still not up? Today, on the first day of the new year, I have to go up the mountain to worship my ancestors, hurry up. Outside the door, Wang shouted. Chinese New Year's Eve worships ancestors at home, that is called celebrating the New Year with ancestors, and on the first day of the new year, going up the mountain to worship ancestors, that is called sending ancestors.

Lin Lan was dizzy for a while, how could she forget this stubble, and put on the coat she had just taken off again. I haven't slept all night this year. originally thought that Xiaoqiang would not survive this year and would be taken away by Lord Yama, but after a night, his breathing stabilized, and he was simply a Xiaoqiang who couldn't be beaten.

Lin Ruhai drank until late at night last night, and when he got up in the morning, he was infected with a cold. The cook boiled a bowl of ginger syrup and let his master drink it to get rid of the cold. It seems that there is less blood on his face, according to the saying of the ancients who knew the destiny of heaven in fifty, Lin Ruhai is also fifty out of forty, and he is considered an old man.

According to the practice of the Lin Mansion, the relatives do not go up the mountain to worship their ancestors, and several uncles are old and frail, and they can't walk the mountain road.

Even if he is a little infected with the wind and cold, Lin Ruhai still has to do it himself, and he can't tolerate the slightest sloppiness. Nine people filled the carriage and hurried towards the outside of Yangzhou City. The ancestral home of the Lin family was in Gusu, but later for unknown reasons, the tomb was moved to Yangzhou.

The weather was not very good, it was gloomy and drizzling, and it occasionally rained like a cow's hair, which made the first day of the new year a little wet and cold.

Lin Lan dozed off, her hands shrunk into her cloak. Although it is said that no one can die without sleeping all night, but sleepy, Lin Lan doesn't care about etiquette or impropriety, so he just bows his head and sleeps.

However, it seems that because of yesterday's New Year's vigil, everyone's spirits are not good, and a cart of people is resting on the wooden planks of the carriage.

Sigh!

The carriage slowly stopped, and the people in the carriage staggered and came to their senses.

"It's here, sir."

"It's here, let's go, hurry." The group hurriedly got up.

The ancestral tomb of the Lin family, on this hill, in ancient feng shui, there is such a common mantra for the location of the yin house - it should be high and not low, and the mountains and rivers should be combined.

Therefore, the ancestral tomb of the Lin family is naturally located near the top of the hill.

It was rainy and the mountain road was slippery, and several people had to take care of the paper money and incense candles that they would burn later, while also being careful about the road under their feet.

Lin Ruhai's body is not as good as that of several cousins, and he goes back and forth in the official sedan chair on weekdays, and when he is halfway up the mountain, he is so tired that he is out of breath, and the old housekeeper supports him.

"Where's Lan'er?"

"Huh? That's right. Where are the Alans? ”

The people resting on the mountainside were suddenly stunned, Lin Lan was gone!

"Uncle, maybe you're still asleep in the car. I saw that Brother Lan was very sleepy just now, why don't I go to the car to look for it? ”

Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "The coachman is below, this kid should come up by himself, let's take care of ourselves, he will always come." "Send someone down the mountain at this time, it must be empty at both ends. The group slowly walked towards the ancestral tomb.

The sad Lin Lan was indeed asleep, and after being found by the coachman, he staggered up the mountain, but he got lost while walking......

It was rainy, the smoke and rain on the mountain were hazy, and it was impossible to see the reality clearly. Lin Lan only knew the approximate location of the Lin family's ancestral tomb, so he groped his way up the mountain. The hills in the south of the Yangtze River are not the kind of towering mountains, and most of them are not continuous, so don't worry if you get lost, you can always find a way out down the slope.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Lin family was not the only one who went up the mountain to worship their ancestors, and the sound of firecrackers on the hills made Lin Lan a little confused. Where is the ancestral tomb of the Lin family.

The sound of firecrackers calmed down slightly, Lin Lan heard a burst of Xun sound in a trance, and he glanced over there and saw the man in the cloth sitting in front of the simple grave, blowing Xun intently.

"This gentleman, dare to ask where is the ancestral grave of the Lin family?" Lin Lan asked awkwardly. It's really a bit embarrassing to ask others about the graves of their ancestors.

The sound of Xun stopped for a while, and the middle-aged man's eyes were stunned, and he said, "Lin family, which Lin family?" There are many graves surnamed Lin here. ”

"Oh, patrol the graveyard of the Salt Imperial Forest, like the sea ancestor."

The middle-aged man lifted his hat, looked at Lin Lan, and asked, "Who are you from Lin Yushi?" ”

Lin Lan saw that this person didn't want to be a villain, so he said truthfully: "In Xia Lin Lan, my father is Lin Ruhai. ”

The middle-aged man got up, saluted Lin Lan, and said, "It turned out to be a famous talent in Yangzhou today, and I have seen Lin Gongzi in Xia Zhenfei." I wonder if there is a gentleman surnamed Jia in the house? ”

"Oh, there was before, but Mr. asked about Jia Yucun?"

"Yes, it's him." A hint of joy flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.

Lin Lan said: "Mr. Jia used to be a teacher in the government, but later went to Beijing to seek an official position. ”

The joy in the middle-aged man's eyes faded, and he sighed a little melancholy.

"What's the problem, sir?" Lin Lan looked at the change in the man's face, there should be something to find Jia Yucun.

The man in the cloth said: "I can't hide it, I had some love with Mr. Jia back then, the little girl was abducted at a young age, and now I know that Mr. Yucun is in the Lin Mansion, it's like looking for a way, looking for the whereabouts of the little girl, and I'm good at wishing." Since Brother Yucun is not in the house, then he will leave. The ancestral tomb of the Lin family is above the pine forest to the east. ”

"Sir, stay. Can you tell us a little bit about the ins and outs of the matter, maybe you can help in the future. Lin Lan always felt that this surnamed Zhen seemed to have some impressions.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed and said, "The little girl's surname is Zhen Yinglian, and there is a grain of rouge in the center of her eyebrows, which is very easy to recognize." When he was three years old, he was abducted by a kidnapper because of improper care by a domestic slave when he was watching the spark lanterns. It's been a few years now. ”

"Sir's words are Shiyin?"

Zhen Fei asked in surprise in his eyes, "How does Childe know?" ”

Lin Lan couldn't cry or laugh, not only did she know this, but she also knew that your house was on fire back then. However, he asked again: "Since you are looking for a woman, why do you go up the mountain to mourn yourself?" ”

"Don't hide it from the son, the villain's family was rich back then, but his beloved daughter was abducted that night, and the family was tragically burned by a fire, burning the family property to the ground. He took refuge in his father-in-law, and was disgusted as an incompetent person, so he had to live in seclusion in the mountains all day long, living passively. ”

Lin Lan was silent for a moment and said, "You go back and find a good livelihood." The search for a woman is on me. ”

"Huh?" Zhen Shiyin was overjoyed, and seemed to have met a noble person from heaven, "How ...... More sons to help. If you can find the little girl, you will definitely repay it in the next spring. ”

Lin Lan walked towards the ancestral tomb and said, "There is a family called Yuqingfang in Yangzhou City, today next year, you come to the store to wait, or someone Lin will find Yinglian first, and he will send it to Hanshan Temple in Gusu to reunite your father and daughter." ”

Since there are Zhen Shiyin's father and daughter, and Jia Yucun does have them, then Lin Lan estimated that the absurd thing of the gourd monk's decision to break the gourd case would also happen. I don't have to look around like a headless fly, wait for the New Year, and wait for the rabbit in Jinling City.

Zhen Shiyin was a little confused, he didn't seem to say that he was from Gusu, why did this Lin Gongzi seem to know everything.
