Chapter 48
Wang Zuo, who was standing at the door, saw Lin Jin riding a horse from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him, saying: "Uncle, you are back, the second wife is looking for you in a hurry, and she has asked more than ten times in a row, but she has not found you, and she is so anxious that she is about to get into the house." Let's take a look. ”
Hearing this, Lin Jin hurriedly threw the reins in his hand to the little guy waiting on the side, and in a hurry, he ran to the east courtyard in three steps and two steps, and at the door, he played opposite Aunt Lin who came out to play with Yang Lin.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Lin frowned and scolded: "You are also a big man, look at what you look like now, what is your demeanor?" ”
Originally, Lin Jin was worried that something terrible had happened, so that Yang Wan was in a hurry to find her, but seeing Aunt Lin's attitude and her demeanor, it was obvious that the matter was not important, so she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.
Yang Wan, who heard Lin Jin coming from Aunt Lin's voice in the house, rushed out of it in a hurry, and before she came to Lin Jin, she hurriedly asked, "I heard that the emperor reprimanded your father, what is the reason, do you know?" The lord won't be demoted because of this, right? ”
Seeing Yang Wan's frightened look, Lin Jin was stunned for a moment, and then thought that her life trajectory had a huge turning point because of her brother's depreciation, although things had already changed, but Yang Wan became a little bit of a snake because of this, and she was scared when she heard the news that Lin Ruhai was reprimanded by the emperor.
Without waiting for Lin Jin to speak, Aunt Lin said, "Didn't I tell you, it's okay, so you don't have to worry, why are you still thinking about this?" It's not that you don't know, the master knows that Jing Shi Daru came to Yangzhou, and finally got a place for Brother Jian'er, and asked her to go and ask for advice, so you are busy calling people back for this trivial matter, isn't this delaying Brother Jian'er to do learning? ”
In front of Aunt Lin, Yang Wan almost said whatever she said for the first time, and shook her face to her mother, and refuted unceremoniously: "Back then, you refused to tell me the truth, for fear that I would worry, so you and your brother were fine, and the result?" ”
stared at Lin Jin tightly, and threatened: "Brother Jin'er, in the mouths of your father and your grandmother, I can't hear the truth, as a son of man, if you don't want to bear the charge of disobedience and unfilial piety, you must not hide anything from me, a mother." I want to tell the truth, you tell me honestly, does it matter? ”
For the ancient society of "ruling the country with filial piety", if a person is charged with disobedience and unfilial piety, whether it is a man or a woman, it means that there is no future. Yang Wan used this to threaten Lin Jin, which shows that she is really anxious.
Lin Jin understood Yang Wan's mood, looked at Yang Wan who was nervous and worried, gave her a soothing smile, and said gently: "Mother, rest assured, although the emperor has reprimanded my father, the people who have been reprimanded by the emperor this time are not just my father, but all the officials of the entire Lianghuai Salt Administration.
Although my father is the governor of the salt imperial history, he is not the highest official of the two Huai salt administrations, so even if the sky falls, there are tall people on top of it. Moreover, in addition to the emperor's reprimand of Lianghuai, the salt officials of Liangzhejiang, Liaodong, Changlu and other places were also reprimanded.
The law does not blame the public, and besides, such a large number of officials, even if the emperor wants to change, he will not be able to find a suitable candidate for a while, so mother, you will put one hundred and twenty hearts, and my father will be reprimanded this time, at most, at most, he will be punished, and he will never be dismissed from office. ”
Yang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked uneasily: "What you said is true, didn't lie to me?" ”
"Absolutely." Lin Jin accentuated her tone and emphasized, "I didn't lie to you, and it is necessary to lie to you." ”
