Chapter 822: The Patriarch Speaks
After listening to Lin Ruan's words, the villagers of Linjia Village felt that it made sense, but they were still very worried.
Their Lin family village relied on Lin Ruan to have today's good life, if Lin Ruan really had something, then wouldn't their good life come to an end?
And the words outside spread with noses and eyes, and they also said that they saw Xiao Wangye kneeling for that miracle doctor, and the county master was also present at that time.
It's not fake.
Therefore, they speculated that Lin Ruan really had an accident.
Just as they wanted to ask questions again, the patriarch hurried over, and before the person approached, he had already opened his mouth and scolded, "What do you want to do?" What are you doing here? Are all things done at home? Don't hurry up and get out, disturb the nobles, and see how you make amends! ”
The patriarch is not young, although his body is quite tough, but he is so tired that his legs are trembling in such a hurry.
In two years, he should be relinquished as patriarch.
So there are already people in the village who don't obey him very much.
Especially those middle-aged people who want to compete for the position of patriarch.
Seeing the patriarch like this, a man named Lin Changshan, one of the candidates, said: "Is it really appropriate for the patriarch to reprimand us like this without asking questions?" We came here just to ask the nobles about the princess, is it wrong? Don't forget, the patriarch, the princess is also a member of our Lin family, if the rumors outside are true, will we watch the princess suffer? ”
Saying that, Lin Changshan turned his head and said to those villagers: "The princess is the backer of our Linjia Village, if the princess falls, then the good days of our Linjia Village will come to an end." Listen to me, let's find out what happened to the princess, if it's really like the rumors outside, we must find a way to rescue the princess! ”
Some villagers who were already worried about this problem immediately responded, and they all clamored to ask Lin Ruan Yirongcheng's noble lady for clarification.
The patriarch walked to the gate in a few steps, blocked the gate, glanced at Lin Changshan coldly, and then looked around the villagers. "Let me ask you, even if the princess is really sick, or if she is really in trouble, how can you save her?"
The villagers looked at each other, and then someone said as a matter of course: "Naturally, those who are willing to stand up for the princess will be organized and enter Beijing together." ”
The patriarch sneered, "And then? ”
"And then ......"
The villagers looked at each other, not thinking about it at all.
The patriarch couldn't laugh, "Then you will become a knife in the hands of those with ulterior motives, and stab the princess in the heart!" If the court really has any thoughts about the princess, you make such a fuss that happens to become the handle of the princess, making the princess speechless. If there is no such thing at all, have you ever thought about how the princess will gain a foothold in Kyoto in the future, and how the imperial court will view the princess? ”
The villagers were all stunned.
They simply thought that the princess couldn't be okay and didn't want the princess to be okay. I just wanted to figure out what was going on, and I wanted to help the princess, so I didn't think about it deeply at all.
The patriarch looked at this group of clansmen who always put their personal interests first, and his heart was very discouraged.
Their Lin family, if it weren't for the princess, I am afraid that in another hundred years, it will be difficult to become a climate.
It's just that now is not the time to think about these questions.
The patriarch said in a calm voice: "I don't know how the princess is now, but I only know one thing, although the princess walked out of the Lin family village, she is the princess of the imperial court, her maternal ancestor is the county king of the Great Zhou, and the husband is the prince of the Great Zhou, and she is now one with the imperial court." ”
"Those rumors outside, as soon as you hear it, there is a problem, and it is obvious that you want to use the princess to make everyone dissatisfied with the court. I can't care about what's going on outside, and I don't have the ability to do it. However, in the Lin family village, none of you should think about making trouble! ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Changshan with a cold look in his eyes, "No matter what idea you have in your heart, you have to hold it back for me!" As long as I know that you dare to make trouble at this time, I will dare to tie you up and send you to the county office, and say that you intend to rebel against the imperial court! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the village shrank their necks.
The patriarch was angry when he saw their appearance, and waved his hand with a dark face: "Why don't you hurry up and get back to me, a bunch of embarrassing things!" ”
When everyone was finished, the patriarch sighed and turned to Lin Ruan, "Princess, I'm sorry, I didn't manage these clansmen." ”
Lin Ruan smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be like this, patriarch, now that rumors are spreading outside, people are panicking, and it is normal for everyone to be worried and afraid." ”
She knew what the villagers thought, but she didn't care.
The people of Linjia Village don't have deep feelings for her, but it's just because her identity has brought them a lot of convenience and benefits. And she also doesn't have much affection for the people of Linjia Village.
So what those villagers are like, it really doesn't affect her anything.
The patriarch was also very clear about Lin Ruan's thoughts, so he sighed deeply, "Don't worry, princess, I will take care of them all, no matter how much trouble is made outside, I assure you that the people of Lin Family Village will definitely not make trouble." ”
Originally, the princess didn't have much affection for Linjia Village, and if the people in the village tossed around, the princess's heart would be even colder, and she would take care of Linjia Village, but I was afraid that it would come to an end.
The only thing he could do now was to make the princess at least have a little thought in her heart.
This is what he can only do for the Lin family before he leaves office.
Lin Ruan smiled at him, "Patriarch, take care of your body, the Lin family village can't leave you, and no one in this village can take over your burden for the time being." ”
The patriarch's shoulders were two points shorter.
That's where he's most powerless.
In fact, he is not nostalgic for the position of patriarch, but the Lin family can't find anyone who has the ability to take over. Even his own abilities are very average. If it weren't for the green smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb of the Lin family, and a character like Lin Ruan, their Lin family village would still be in trouble.
Lin Ruan comforted, "Don't be discouraged by the patriarch, not at the moment, but the dolls in the village have already entered the clan study." When they become literate and open their eyes, the Lin family will naturally not stop at the present. ”
The patriarch's eyes immediately lit up.
Yes, there is still hope in Linjia Village, and those dolls will always grow up.
Lin Ruan smiled at him, "Patriarch, the future of Linjia Village still has a long way to go, and you have to worry about it for a few more years." ”
When the patriarch heard this, he was a little surprised. Lin Ruan said this to tell him that he still had to continue to sit for the position of patriarch.
Lin Ruan said: "This is the root of Akan and Xiuxiu, so I can't watch this place decline, and I can't trust anyone else in the village, so I can only entrust this important task to the patriarch, and I hope the patriarch won't blame me for too much." ”
The patriarch hurriedly said: "Thanks to the princess's attention, the old man will definitely do his best to manage the Lin family." ”
