After Lin Hai was gone, the inner door of the government from the gate was a pure white paper paste, and the plaque was hung with a white cloth. In the bitter cry of the Manchu Mansion, Yang Wan took Daiyu to kneel in front of the spirit to burn paper and entertain the female relatives who came to the mansion to worship; Lin Jin took Lin Ge'er to Wudao Temple with a small dustpan with incense, wine, and paper money to worship the gods and ghosts, and greeted the male guests who passed through the house. …… acted in an orderly manner and calmly, which made Jia Lian, who was helping on the side, admire in his heart.

As the saying goes, people go to tea and cool, although they all know that Lin Hai has two sons, but even the eldest Lin Jin is only a teenager and has not yet reached adulthood.

Because he wanted to help Ling return to Gusu, the house was busy with Lin Hai's funeral, and he also had to pack up his things. Most of the valuables in the house have already been packed up, and now they are all commonly used by everyone and the furnishings in the house. The family relocation, there are too many things, not to say whether you can move at one time, only to say that there are too many things on the road is too eye-catching, if it is sold on the spot, the time is tight, and the price will inevitably be lowered. Therefore, Lin Jin left the housekeeper Zhang He to deal with the matter, and some of the suitable ones were transported to Beijing first. If it is not easy to bring into Beijing, it will be sold slowly.

Pack your things. dismissed the servants who wanted to leave, singled out the treacherous ones, and screened out more than a dozen loyal and reliable servants. Lin Jin took his grandmother, mother and sister, younger brother and several aunts, accompanied by Jia Lian, to help Lin Hai's coffin back to Gusu.

It's just that even if Lin Jin and his party help the spirit to return to the clan, Lin Ruhai's coffin does not mean that it can be buried if it is buried, and it is necessary to ask Mr. to look at the day and choose an hour.

In the days of waiting for the burial, Lin Jin was still very busy, in addition to preparing for the ceremony of Lin Ruhai's burial, he also had to entertain the Gusu officials and squires who came to worship, and also visited the patriarch and several clan elders, and also visited the county lord of Gusu, as well as some characters similar to the "talisman" on Jinling on the Gusu side.

On this day, she came back from outside, and as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she heard the sound of Yang Wan losing her temper and breaking things from the house, and couldn't help asking, "Mother, what's the matter?" If someone from the clan says something unpleasant, you can bear with it, anyway, we won't stay here for long, and after my father enters the earth, we will leave after the hundred days of filial piety. If you think it's not good here, it's a big deal that we won't come back after we leave. ”

Aunt Lin glanced at her daughter who was trembling with anger and explained, "I can't complain that your mother is angry, today's incident is really annoying." Just now, an elder of the clan came over and said that when your father was buried, as long as your mother agreed, she would be able to share the same cave with your father after a hundred years. ”

Hearing this, Lin Jin gasped, and thought to herself, I don't know who came up with this poisonous plan, it's really ruthless.

As a stepfamily, whether it is a sacrifice before death, a concubine must be performed in front of the original tablet; Even after death, she cannot be buried with her husband; This is the basic rule of this society. But there are always those who are unwilling, such as Yang Wan, the men of the Lin family are all from her belly, the original partner has no children and no daughters, or only gave birth to daughters, they will inevitably give birth to delusions, thinking that after death, they will sleep with their husbands.

There are not a few who have succeeded in this matter. After all, according to the etiquette and law, the principle is the reason, but isn't there still a saying that 'the law is nothing more than human affection', and besides, it is also filial piety to be a son to fulfill the mother's wishes.

Therefore, the clan took this temptation to Yang Wan, and it was really accurate. But this involves a problem, if Lin Jin doesn't plan to take a career in the future, then it doesn't matter what she does, but if she wants to be an official in the future, once this matter is revealed, she will inevitably be dismissed from office, and it will never be used again.

Lin Jin knew that she was a girl, so she was worried that Yang Wan would be deceived, so she hurriedly asked, "Mother, you didn't agree, did you?" ”

Yang Wan exhaled several times and calmed down before saying, "Don't worry, I didn't respond." Although I know your gender, but the clan side is not clear, what are their ideas, when I am stupid, can't I see it? Regardless of whether you will follow the official career in the future or not, once this matter spreads, you will be filial to me, but with your father and wife, it will not be justified. And isn't this obviously for you to offend the Rongguo Mansion? Although our family doesn't say that we want to touch your sister's maternal grandfather's family, but no matter what, it is your sister's maternal grandfather's family, and as long as your sister is at home for a day, our relationship with Nafu will be severed, so even if we can't make friends, we can't make friends. ”

If the Lin family ignores the noise of the people from the Lin clan's side, the life will still be very clean. It's just that every time someone from the Lin clan comes to the door, Yang Wan and the others are annoyed, and they don't let them come to the door, so they play tricks at the door, attracting people to watch. But once people enter the house, they have good eyes, as long as they can take all the things they can take, they ask for it, even if they don't give it here, they turn a deaf ear and take it right. For the sake of such a thing, it is not worth inviting the people of the yamen over. After all, if you invite someone over, you don't owe favors, and the thank you gift for the reserve is at least ten times and a hundred times that of taking away.

Therefore, in desperation, after the clansmen repeatedly came to the door and even ate and took it, there was no other furnishings in the flower hall where the guests were entertained except for tables and chairs, and the doors leading to other places were all locked, so that they could not go elsewhere. Lin Jin picked a stout girl and a mother-in-law to surround her body, stopping the women who wanted to pick hairpins and strip their clothes. But just like that, the Lin clan people who came to the door again still amazed Yang Wan and them, and the teacup after serving tea was not counted in the pocket, and the chair they sat on was also moved back. Its rogue behavior constantly refreshes Lin Jin's lower limit, which makes people suddenly realize, oh, it turns out that he can still do this.
