Chapter Forty-Eight: Living Up to Expectations
Suddenly, Lin Yunxin only felt that all the limbs and bones were immersed in the biting ice, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.
Yes, her behavior at this time was not only to bully the king and resist the decree, but also to persuade General Xu to resist the pressure and give her a while.
Thinking of this, Lin Yunxin's heart was steady, and she let Xu Chunzhi's powerful murderous aura rage, her back was soaked with cold sweat, but she still raised her head, and her voice trembled: "As long as it takes seven more days...... No, in five days, a perfect antidote will definitely be developed, why not the general...... Wait a little longer? ”
Seeing that Lin Yunxin was obviously frightened and oppressed under the murderous aura, but she still forcibly finished what she was about to say, Xu Chunzhi looked at her deeply.
The next moment, the murderous aura disappeared without a trace.
"Five days?"
"Yes!" Like a fish thrown back into the water from the shore, Lin Yunxin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said with a shock in his spirit, "I know that this makes the general very embarrassed, but as long as it takes another five days, these people will not have to die, and the general will not bear the notoriety of putting a butcher's knife on his own people!" ”
Xu Chunzhi's eyes suddenly sharpened!
Lin Yunxin did not flinch and looked at him. In her impression, Xu Chunzhi's reputation plummeted after the plague in his previous life, and both the people and the officialdom had a lot of complaints about him, although he was a sharp sword in the hands of the emperor, but when this sword pointed to the people of the world, there would naturally be countless people who wanted to break this sword.
So much so that later Xu Chunzhi went to Jiangnan again, and after he was seriously injured and disappeared, countless officials jumped out of the DPRK and China to accuse Xu Chunzhi of colluding with foreign enemies, and in a short period of time, Long Mingwei changed hands, and the Black Yan Army was also divided.
"Huh." Xu Chunzhi chuckled suddenly, his sharp gaze dissipated in an instant, but he looked a little headache, "You can see clearly...... But that's all there is to it. He said with a slight dissatisfaction.
Lin Yunxin's eyes also softened, revealing a shallow smile, but she still couldn't hide the fatigue accumulated over the past few days: "General, I think this matter is still a little strange. ”
"Oh?"
"In fact, in recent days, the situation in Anxian County has improved a lot, but the imperial capital has deteriorated sharply, and I always feel ......"
"Someone actually designed it on purpose?" Xu Chunzhi answered, "I also suspected it, especially since there was no reason for the riots in the city before, but no evidence has been found yet." ”
"If there is no problem with the Black Flame Army, the general might as well start with the Forbidden Army." Lin Yunxin pondered, but coldly found Xu Chunyi looking at her with a playful face.
"You're going to give me a problem?" Whether it is to disobey the emperor's order and delay it for another five days, or to clean up the forbidden army.
"Uh......" Lin Yunxin's eyes rolled in a half circle, and her eyes lit up, "That's because the general is very powerful, I believe in the general!" ”
"Sycophants." Xu Chunyi summed it up in one word.
"The patient is here, you can do it, I will only give you five days, and after five days, the fire will burn the four fields." After saying these indifferent words, Xu Chunzhi turned around and left.
Lin Yunxin stood behind him, but her eyes were blurred instantly, and she was a little choked: "I must live up to the general's expectations!" ”
Imperial capital.
Lin family.
Since Lin Jingzhi, the fourth master of the Lin family, was imprisoned on the roof of the imperial study, and the plague broke out in the imperial capital, Lin Yunxin took the maid and the nursing home to Anxian County to rescue, and ordered Lin Shen'an and his uncle Li Hualin to supply the necessary materials for the defenders of the imperial capital and the relatives of the family, nearly a month has passed.
The Lin family has not gone out for nearly a month.
At first, several big men of the Lin family heard the news about the plague from the old man Lin Xuhuai and his nephew Lin Shen'an, and they were still a little unbelieving, and they wanted to inquire about the news everywhere, but they didn't expect that it would not be long before not only the whole city was under martial law, but even those who were wandering around on the road would be directly arrested and locked up.
Since then, these big men have completely stopped their minds and concentrated on getting up at home, and even the thoughts of rescuing Lin Jingzhi have been scattered.
- After all, the coverage of this plague is too wide, and everyone can occasionally know from the news sent back by Lin Shen'an that there is a wealthy or official family in the city who has recruited their families, and they have been caught by the Black Flame Army and taken into a centralized treatment center, and they will not care about life or death when they get there.
But the rest of the Lin family has rested, it does not mean that the fourth room of the Lin family itself has given up, on the contrary, now Lin Yunxin is taking people to live in Anxian County, and Lin Shenan is running around with his uncle Li Hualin, and now that Taixue has been suspended, he is almost idle for a moment because he is worried about Lin Yunxin's situation.
For the Lin family, the fourth room has almost become a state of empty buildings.
"Mother," Lin Shendu, the eldest young master of the Changfang and the grandson of the Lin family, hesitated slightly in the hall and said, "My son has thought about it, and I still want to work with the sixth brother to do something practical ......for the people of Gyeonggi."
"Don't think about it." The eldest lady Zhou refused and glared at him, "What is it good for you to call Weiniang?" The son of the daughter can't sit down, and now the wind outside is in danger of life at any time, and he is still uneasy at home, if you go out, isn't this putting your mother's heart on a sharp knife to scrape? Do you want your mother to sleep peacefully? ”
Seeing that his son was still a little stubborn, Lin Jingren on the side couldn't help frowning: "Shen Du, you are always different from your sixth brother, you are the grandson of the Lin family, your words and deeds represent the entire Lin family, your sixth brother has a lively temperament since he was a child......"
Zhou suddenly grabbed Bai and said: "What is his lively personality? It's a leather monkey at all! I didn't have a proper line all day, and I didn't even read a book when I went up to hunt and fish in the water, can you compare with him? ”
Lin Shendu said: "But isn't the third uncle ...... either?" ”
Lin Jingren said: "Your third uncle was originally the general of the forbidden army, and this time he naturally has to serve in the army, which is his duty." What are you doing with a little hairy boy? ”
Zhou was a little dissatisfied with Lin Jingren's reprimand of her son as a little hairy child, and gave her husband a blank look before continuing: "Shen Du, you don't want to watch your fourth sister and sixth brother work blindly outside all day long, now your fourth aunt is going too early, and your fourth uncle is in prison again, and there is no elder in this family to take care of it, so they let their sister and brother be wild and nonsense outside, and I don't know what it will be like in the future." ”
"Look at your sister Shuzhen, you can be stable, everyone should have the appearance of everyone's girl, and when you encounter difficulties, you can give some rice porridge and clothes, how can you personally go down to take care of irrelevant patients? Even if you are not afraid of being infected with the epidemic and harm others and yourself, you always have to take care of your own reputation? ”
Speaking of this, the Zhou family was a little angry: "The four-room girl is so nonsense, she doesn't care about the reputation of the Lin family at all." You have to know what happens to her outside...... It was the Lin family who was poked in the backbone, it should be said that our family can't even look down on a girl, and it will affect your sister Shuzhen's marriage in vain. ”
was mentioned by name, Lin Shuzhen, who was originally immersed in reading, raised her head and smiled gently: "Don't worry, mother, maybe the fourth sister can have her own natural appearance." ”
Zhou glanced at his daughter with disgust: "We are really kind-hearted, and we like to think of people in everything." He looked at his son again, and his expression turned stern, "In short, my mother doesn't allow you to come nonsense, put away your thoughts about the righteousness of the family and the country, and in the future, you will have the opportunity to serve the court and seize your reputation, and now you will stay at home, do you hear?" ”
Lin Shendu was a little helpless, so he had to respond: "Got it." ”
The second room of the Lin family, Qi Feng Pavilion.
"Mother, how long has it been since this happened, Lin Yunxin's girl hasn't sent back the news yet, do you say she has ......?" Lin Suhui was tired of being beside her mother, and asked with a novel voice while playing with the newly embroidered colored silk balls of the maid's red hair.
"It's hard to say." Jiang paused slightly, "Hasn't her grandfather, the Li family, been sending things to our family recently?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Suhui was unhappy: "What? Could it be that if she died, the Li family wouldn't send it? ”
Jiang Shi glanced at her: "You are a little conscienceless, you use the benefits of others, and you still want to curse others to death?" ”
"No, mother...... How can you think of me like that? Am I not worried? She hasn't heard from her for so long, what if it's really ......? You see so many things in the four-room yard, and they can't all be cheaper! Lin Suhui couldn't help shaking Jiang's arm.
"You reminded me." Jiang's eyes moved, thought about it and shook his head, "Even if Lin Yunxin is really gone in Anxian County, and her younger brother Lin Shen'an, during this time, he has been running with the Li family, and he has been sending news to the old man, I am afraid that after this plague, the old man will look at him differently." ”
"Yes." Lin Suhui was indignant, "But isn't the fourth uncle in prison?" This time he caused such a big trouble for our family, can grandpa really give them a good look? ”
"One thing is one yard." Lin Jingyi also interjected, "Your grandfather has always had a clear distinction between public and private, rewards and punishments, and he will not wronged anyone." Saying that, he was a little annoyed by Lin Suhui's greasy appearance, and reprimanded, "You also have to grow more, don't play with some gadgets and playthings all day long, do you have any ...... with Junhong on the Zhang family's side?"
"Ahem!" Jiang coughed lightly, glanced at his husband disapprovingly, and blamed him, so that her daughter thought about that Zhang Gongzi all day long, and did not look at the difference in the identities of the two, and caused her to lose face twice in succession.
Lin Suhui suddenly came to her senses, and said with a smile: "I haven't been in touch recently, it's not an epidemic, and I can't go out, but Brother Junhong sent me something before......
The Lin family is in the north main courtyard.
Old man Lin Xuhuai opened the news from his grandson Lin Shen'an, hurriedly skimmed through it, and sighed.
Beside him, the old lady Tang frowned: "Don't sigh, you have to sigh eight hundred times a day, and I am tired with you." ”
Old Man Lin shook his head slightly and said, "Now that the epidemic in the imperial capital is not decreasing, but increasing, the emperor has ordered the Black Yan Army to collect all the patients and transport them to Anxian County." ”
"So what?" The old lady asked rhetorically.
"You really don't understand? This means ......" Old Man Lin made a gesture of lifting the knife and falling.
The old lady suddenly exclaimed, her eyes showing horror: "Really? ”
"If so, then ...... Isn't that girl ...... that girl," the old lady's face deepened with annoyance, "This girl is really a scourge!" Why did you have the audacity to go to Anxian County? Not to mention ruining the family style, this is a waste of life, this is really ...... Woe to the family! ”
The concubine was imprisoned for colliding with the emperor, and the granddaughter ran to the crowd to go nonsense, what did their Lin family do, how could they give birth to such unscrupulous descendants? !
"Master, I see that you are hesitant, so you just take this opportunity to expel them from the house, so as not to harm the family ......"
"Bastard!" Old Man Lin opened his mouth to reprimand suddenly, and when he saw that his old wife's face stiffened, he softened his expression and said, "Nonsense!" The family is fine, what do you say about being expelled from the house? Jingzhi and Yunxin are not wrong, but they understand the righteousness! In your opinion, it is wrong to dissuade the emperor from caring for the people? Is it wrong to go all out to send supplies and rescue Gyeonggi and Anxian? Or is it right to be a shrunken-headed turtle only in the house?! ”
The old lady suddenly changed color, and sneered: "Rescue Anxian? Heh, Lin Xuhuai, Lin Xuhuai, I think you're old and confused, right? Do you really think that a little girl can save Anxian County?! ”
