It was already dawn, and the families of the soldiers living in the city looked over one after another, and when they saw the general himself leading the way, they couldn't help but guess who was here to have this honor.

You must know that when they came, not to mention that the general greeted them in person, even no other soldiers could see a single one, and the whole city was as cold as a ghost town.

There are more and more people who come later, and this is slowly gaining popularity.

The snow in the city has been swept away to both sides of the road, and the group walked through the only bluestone road in the county.

The houses on both sides are mostly civil and simple, and most of the roofs are covered with thatch and mud.

Occasionally, I saw a few bricks and tiles, and the people who came in and out of it were also very thinly dressed, and the big guys didn't look rich.

In this way, the cattle and horses of Lin Meiyi and his party, and the goods of the big cart and the small cart are extremely dazzling.

The busy people on the side of the street all stopped, and their inquiring eyes swept back and forth on Lin Youcai's faces, thanks to the girls sitting in the carriage, otherwise the girls were thin-skinned and would definitely not be able to stand the hot eyes of those aunts.

Lin Meiyi lifted a curtain of the car, and took a cursory look outside, there were almost no old people, basically young women, or middle-aged aunts, and children.

Young and middle-aged men are also rarely seen on the streets, and most of them are in the barracks, and they can only return home when they are on vacation.

The streets are lined with houses and no shops at all.

However, there are still people who carry flat shoulders and go out to sell some daily necessities, or sell breakfast, and do small business.

Supplies are scarce. This is Lin Meiyi's first impression of Yangzhou.

The carriage moved forward at a steady pace, and finally passed the thatched hut and stopped in front of a wide blue brick house.

Seeing this house, everyone in the carriage immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although these houses are not as good as their houses in the backing villages, they are already considered luxury houses compared to the thatched mud houses they have seen before.

There are not many people in the north, but the land is wide, and the houses are also bigger, and they are very bright.

It's winter, the north wind is whining, and it's not easy to keep warm.

In front of a blue brick house, there is a plaque hanging on the house - Lin Mansion.

On the two adjacent sides of the Lin Mansion, on the left is the Qing Mansion and on the right is the Royal Mansion.

Lin Dalang got off the horse and walked to the carriage? Said to the family members on the horse: "Grandma, father, mother, eldest sister, our family has arrived, come down." ”

Immediately after, I heard Qinglan coming over again? shouted outside: "Mother, Qingyun? Come down, our house is next to the Lin family? In the future, our two families will be neighbors. ”

Talking? He was not too embarrassed to say to Lin Youcai: "Uncle Lin? I don't stay at home often, and in the future, please take care of the old and young at home? Qinglan thanked you in advance! ”

After speaking, he was about to kneel down as soon as he lifted his robe, Lin Dalang saw this? Hurriedly grabbed him by the back collar and lifted the person up.

"Don't you need to do all this? When do we both need to be like this? Even if you don't say it? My father and mother, they will take care of your mother and sister. ”

Lin Youcai got out of the car and came over? Also with the son of the same meaning.

Qinglan moved? I couldn't kneel, so I had to bow deeply and express my gratitude.

Lin Youcai patted Qinglan's shoulder, "Okay, let's go to our respective homes, pack up, and let's have a hot meal together." ”

After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at the majestic young general at the front, gave Da Lang a look, and the father and son walked towards Zhen Huaimin together.

Sensing that the father and son were approaching, Zhen Huaimin turned the horse's head to face the two.

"The grass people are talented, meet the general!"

Lin Youcai bowed deeply and was about to kneel.

"Uncle, I can't help it!"

Zhen Huaimin's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his sharp gaze fell on Lin Dalang, who hurriedly helped his father up.

"Dad, the general is benevolent, get up quickly."

Seeing this, Lin Youcai still insisted on kneeling on one knee, then got up, looked up at Zhen Huaimin, and said with emotion:

"This trip from south to north, after hardships to come here, I felt disheartened, but now I saw the general, the grass people's heart is like taking a reassuring pill and is stable."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lin Dalang, who looked embarrassed, and said: "The dog is dull, he has no strength but can't use his brain, and the young man is strong-blooded, impulsive and irritable." ”

"Now that he is young, he has such an achievement because of the promotion of the general, and it is inevitable that he will have arrogant and domineering thoughts in the future, and when the time comes, the general will only beat, and the grass people will have nothing to ask for, but the general will take care of him, no matter what, spare his ......life."

Zhen Huaimin didn't expect an old father who was a farmer to speak out to have such foresight and worry, and he was a little surprised.

But this life is not something he said he could keep.

"Uncle, the military order is here, all Lin Shijun's actions are determined by the military order, you don't need to worry. If he could follow the rules, he would have survived. ”

"Okay, the grass people should teach the dogs and read the military orders well!"

Lin Youcai smiled and apologized: "The general has worked hard today, and he should have invited the general into the house to drink a cup of hot tea and have a hot meal, but we have just arrived, and there is a mess inside and outside the house, so we won't invite the general to come in and eat ashes with us." ”

Hehe smiled, and the old father sincerely invited, "When we pack up, we will invite the general again, and then I hope that the general can come in person and give us a chance to express our gratitude." ”

Zhen Huaimin bowed his head slightly, which was a response.

He felt that Lin Shijun's family was a bit interesting.

Lin Youcai arched his hand and retreated first.

"Lin Shijun, now that you have returned, you can prepare today, and come to the barracks tomorrow to report." Zhen Huaimin commanded.

Lin Dalang and Qinglan agreed, and Zhen Huaimin led his people to prepare to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned the horse's head, a small soldier rode over with a panicked look.

Lin Dalang and Qinglan glanced at each other and secretly prayed that nothing had happened at the border.

After thinking about it, the little soldier had already come to the front, Lin Dalang and Qinglan subconsciously wanted to step forward, and then thought that the two of them were still on vacation, so they held back their steps.

I don't know what the little soldier said in Zhen Huaimin's ear, and the general's expression suddenly became serious.

After a while, he looked back, and Lin Dalang and Qinglan suddenly chuckled in their hearts, secretly saying that it was not good.

"Something happened in the city, Lin Shijun, your ten ironclad guards will be lent to General Ben first." Zhen Huaimin opened his mouth and could not be refuted.

This is an order, but because the two families are here, he said it politely.

When Qinglan and Lin Dalang heard this, their hearts were suddenly half relieved.

Lin Dalang immediately beckoned to the ten ironclad guards and ordered them to follow the general to deal with important matters first.

After winning the manpower, Zhen Huaimin left immediately.

Before leaving, he instructed Lin Dalang and Qinglan to settle their families for a while, and then come to the county government to discuss something.

Yes, the day's leave was cut in half in an instant.
