Chapter 464: Dependent
When the sky was bright, the ox cart stopped, and someone slammed the door of the car and shouted: Ah Rong! "It's Dow's voice.
In the morning light, Dow's expression was particularly vivid and kind, and when he saw a few people sitting or lying in the carriage, he couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hands and cry in a low voice: "I haven't slept all night.................. God opened his eyes and finally saw that you had returned safely. He also saluted Mrs. Lu: "Old lady, it's good to be safe."
Mrs. Lu sat up with the help of Lin Jinrong and Mama Sha, and said with a pleasant face: "It's worried about my in-laws." ”
Dow couldn't help but be embarrassed. My family is nested in other people's old houses, and they arrived before the master's house, and the master's family is so polite, although it is a family for generations, but it is also rare. Just as he was about to say a few kind words, he saw Zhou, Luo and others greet them, asking about the situation on the road and expressing their gratitude.
Over there, Master Lin was also talking to Lu Jianzhong: "At that time, when I saw the firelight, I determined that the city was broken, so I sent someone to notify my relatives and friends, and I don't know if you saw anyone." ”
Master Lin's words were specially explained that they didn't just slip away regardless of other relatives and friends, but Lu Jianzhong saw that the Lin family, a big family, already felt something like that, and then thought about how the Lin family helped Lin Yuzhen and Lin Jinrong deal with him, he was even more uncomfortable, so he said unceremoniously: "I didn't see it." ”
Master Lin was a little embarrassed: "Maybe it's too chaotic on the street to miss it." ”
Lu Jianzhong picked it up and said, "Yes, maybe he was killed or ran away." ”
Master Lin couldn't find anything to say, he was really a little aggrieved, but he could argue again, it was really boring, but he had a feeling of wanting to cover up, so he closed his mouth in a daze, not wanting to talk to Lu Jianzhong anymore.
Lin San didn't have that consciousness, and raised his head to look around for Lu Lu and Lu Jianxin: "What about my aunt and Erlang?" Speaking of which, we really want to thank them, where to find such a kind uncle! My old lady can't say it, please bother them to be so thoughtful and meticulous! It's not good not to come. Although these words are a bit shameless, they make it clear how they came here - the main owners of this ancestral house, Lu Jianxin and Lu Mian, are both sons-in-law of the Lin family, and they warmly invited the Lin family to take refuge, and no one else can afford to say it.
Second Master Lin sighed: "I just looked around at this house.................. Thanks to Erlang, this kid spent a lot of money to renovate it earlier! My brother-in-law and niece-in-law were so visionary! ”
Lu Jianzhong took a deep breath, he didn't know how to run fast with the shameless wretches of the Lin family! As soon as he calmed down, Mrs. Lu over there asked someone to call him over and explain it carefully, saying nothing more than asking him to entertain the Lin family well, not to be lazy, to make people laugh, lose dignity and hurt feelings, and so on.
Lin Yuzhen swept away the previous frustration and uneasiness, raised her head high, and commanded the servant woman who greeted her loudly: "Serve the guests!" If something goes wrong, although I don't want to give anyone no face at this juncture, I can't make people laugh at my Lu family for having no rules. He also instructed Lin Jinrong: "Not only must you entertain your mother's family, but you can't treat your second uncle and third uncle as guests just because they are your own flesh and blood, and you will be slighted!" It looks like a majestic housewife, and it clearly points out that except for the old lady and the big house, all the others are guests.
Lin Jinrong was silent, but he was able to clearly call out the names of every servant and steward in the old mansion, and arranged the food and lodging of each room in an orderly manner, without any intention of asking other people's opinions.
Lu Jianzhong saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and ordered Lu Jing loudly: "Go and invite the clan elders to come and discuss the big things." "In the inner house, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be crazy as much as they want, and it is impossible to treat them badly anyway, but outside Lu Jianxin and Lu Lu will not come back for a day, it is he and Lu Jing who have the final say! In the end, we have to rely on them.
Lin Jinrong didn't confront him directly, and entered the inner house as if he didn't hear it. At this moment, with Tao and others helping to take care of Yi Lang, she has no worries for the time being, and she is just planning other things wholeheartedly - since she is reunited with her relatives and does not have to go to the river alone to wait for death, she can't waste this opportunity, she must do her best to use all the surrounding environment to fight for a better ending for herself and Yi Lang!
Lin Jinrong squinted slightly and looked at the old mansion bathed in the morning light, she looked at the eerie old mansion earlier, but now it looks particularly thick and dignified, which invisibly gave her a kind of peace of mind and strength. And the small courtyard she hated the most that lived with Lu Mian, after entering at the moment, there was a feeling of being in a different world, and she seemed to see Lu Mian sitting under the lamp reading a book every time she looked up.
Lying on the bed, she could recall the rainy day after Lu Lu Lu came back from the capital to take the exam, when he and her hands were clasped together tightly, and at that time she still had many uncertainties and many thoughts, and even some faint regrets...... But now, as she lay alone on this bed, she remembered what she had felt and what she had felt.
"You have enough sleep to have strength, and Yilang needs you, you can't just admit defeat." Lin Jinrong told himself softly, closed his eyes and fell asleep. It was already afternoon when she came again, she took a hot bath seriously, cleaned up her spirits, and instructed the servant: "Go and invite Steward Han to Mrs., I want to see him!" "I also asked Shuangquan to ask Master Lin to wait for the men of the Lin family to come over.
Lin Yuzhen is old, her sleep is light, she has woken up early, and she is leaning on the couch thinking about her thoughts, when she heard that Lin Jinrong is here, she hurriedly said, "Did you sleep well?" ”
Lin Jinrong nodded, greeted her as usual, and said, "I'll send someone to call Han Gen in." I also asked people to invite the eldest uncle and the elder brother to come over here. ”
Lin Yuzhen frowned: "What did you call them to do?" "There is still a saying for calling Han Gen over, what are you asking the men of the Lin family to do?
Lin Jinrong said softly: "We can't leave all the things outside to the second uncle and the third uncle, we must be able to know the movements outside, if there is anything, we don't say that we have to be the first to know, and we can't be the last to know!" Han Gen had been repairing the old house of the ancestral hall and sect here earlier, taking care of the affairs in the Zhuangzi, he was very familiar with the Zhuanghu people, and he also got along very well with the stewards in the old house, and there were some things that had to be done by him. She paused and said softly: "Others are only reliable for a while, and they can't be relied on for a lifetime, so they have to plan a little more for Yilang." ”
If it is unfortunate, Lu Jianxin and Lu Mian really can't come back.................. They can no longer rely on these two men, they must rely on themselves, they must be tough to save the lives of their three mothers, and keep this family business for Yilang. Lin Yuzhen's nose was sour, and she nodded in approval of Lin Jinrong's words, but she was worried: "Is Han Gen reliable?" ”
It stands to reason that this person was carefully selected by Mrs. Lu for Lu Mian, who is usually inconspicuous, and does not like to always come to her like everyone else, but she has done everything she is ordered to do properly. But thinking about the worst, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who can say clearly? Lin Jinrong didn't dare to say this to Lin Yuzhen, so he could only say in a categorical tone: "Trustworthy!" He is the person that the old lady picked out earlier to be Erlang's external manager! If he can't believe it, we won't find anyone else to believe it. ”
"That's good!" Lin Yuzhen sniffed and cheered up: "What are you going to do when you call your uncle and cousin again?" ”
Lin Jinrong said: "They are guests, and it stands to reason that they should not be labored, but today's situation is also seen by my aunt, my grandfather has come to Qinggao, if some gossip reaches the ears of his old man, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand it, and he will have to leave the knife outside." And in this extraordinary period, there are few men in the Lu family, and it is only right for the Lin family to come out to help with this, and at the same time, it is also to help themselves! They must be allowed to follow the guards of the house in shifts, otherwise I am afraid that the clansmen will also have opinions. ”
Lin Yuzhen pondered for a moment and said, "You are right, it should be like this." You can't let people look down on them, and you can't give others the opportunity to chew their tongues. ”
Lin Jinrong approached her and said softly: "Auntie, we are a family that depends on each other, and we can only rely on each other. If there is something that you think differently from me, how about you listen to me and then decide? ”
Lin Yuzhen's eyes were red, and it took a long time before she slowly reached out and hugged her, and said softly: "For our little Yilang......"
Mama Fang wiped her tears vigorously, and looked at each other with Fangling and Dou'er, although her expression was sad, she was gratified. If the aunt and nephew are still having the same trouble as before at this time, there is really no hope.
After a while, Master Lin and Lin Yizhi came over, but they didn't say much, and asked when they entered the door: "If there is anything you want us to do, just command."
Lin Jinrong invited them to sit down and said, "I won't be polite to my uncles and brothers." He lightly told the horror in the city, and then talked about the officers and soldiers who took Lu Jianxin's horses: "I don't know what kind of emergency military situation it is, so I don't care about it." I heard that there are also homeless people in other Zhuangzi who form groups to hurt people and take money, and I am afraid that it will be even more chaotic in the future. ”
Master Lin's expression became more and more serious: "Then you have to take strict care of the house." Otherwise, it's all in vain. ”
As he spoke, Han Geun went under the curtain.
Lin Yuzhen first said to him about his hard work, and asked him according to what he had discussed with Lin Jinrong earlier: "Earlier, the second master invited the clan elders to discuss important matters, I don't know what they said?" ”
Han Gen said: "It's a matter of discussing how to defend. Then he told him what he knew: ".................. He sent people to guard the big bell, and arranged for people to patrol day and night, so that each family could collect their own rice, grain, firewood, food and other things, and hide in the old house if there was any movement. ”
After listening to this, Lin Jinrong felt that there was no big problem, but he was afraid that the night watchman was not vigilant enough, so he discussed with Master Lin to let the children of the Lin family join the ranks of the night patrol in shifts, and asked Han Gen to borrow Lin Yuzhen's name to talk about it to the elders of the same clan, saying that the Lin family was willing to take the initiative to contribute.
