Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Time Is Up

Lin Qingwan watched his back disappear and said softly: "He is indeed very similar to you, and his heart has turned eighteen times. ”

Lin Qingwan paused and said, "You have more than him, thirty-six bends." ”

Lin Jiang chuckled, leaned on the pillow and said, "This is also the last thing I can do for you, the family needs to rely on you now, and it depends on you to manage how much power to speak." ”

Lin Qingwan bowed, "I understand." ”

Lin Jiang closed his eyes tiredly.

Lin Ba didn't make it in the end, because when he clashed with Lin Shiyi, he took a step back and stepped on a gravel, and his feet were unstable and he fell.

I fell very hard and twisted my waist directly, but fortunately, the bones are fine, but I also need to raise them for a while.

And Lin Shiyi didn't get any good, Lin Ba fell, Lin Shiyi who was going to push him didn't push the person and lost his balance, and fell down directly, of course, he didn't twist it, because he smashed on Lin Ba, who was already lying down, and he didn't fall hard, but his palm broke the skin, and it was hot and uncomfortable.

The two noisiest people were injured, and Lin Qingwan simply arranged them into a courtyard in the south and the north, and the world was quiet.

But the atmosphere in Lin Mansion is getting more and more dignified, Lin Jiang has reached the limit, his body has deteriorated sharply, and it has become difficult to swallow recently.

Lin Yubin even guarded him when he was sleeping, unwilling to leave a step, Shang Mingjie accompanied her to serve Lin Jiang.

Shang Mingyuan didn't dare to go to Lefang to mess around, and followed Lin Qingwan every day to listen to orders.

Finally in the early morning of one day, Lin Jiang, who was originally drowsy, suddenly woke up, and asked everyone to accompany him for breakfast.

After Dr. Xu checked his pulse, he shook his head slightly at everyone, and everyone knew that he was returning to the light and had little time.

Everyone was sad in their hearts, but they still smiled and sat together for this last breakfast.

Lin Qingwan was very sad, because Bai Weng was standing aside, she knew that Lin Jiang was not going to the underworld to erase his memories and then reincarnate like others, but to go to heaven to become an immortal.

His memories are there.

He also knew that he would watch them from heaven before returning to his main body, and he would not leave until Lin Yubin grew up and got rid of that invisible curse.

So Lin Jiang's death was not really dead, but more permanent, so she behaved calmly.

But her calmness in everyone's eyes is a calmness of life and death, and even the sixth uncle couldn't help but say: "After all, I have experienced life and death, and I can see that I am even more open than us old people, but in the end, I have suffered the child." ”

In just half a year, first her fiancΓ© died unexpectedly, and then she was so sick that she almost died, and now her brother is also dying, and the whole burden is on her.

Looking at her appearance, she is not ready to remarry in this life, how painful should it be for a teenage girl to see the bottom of her life now?

The eighth uncle pouted and said: "She is now the county lord, what is the suffering, the Lin family will pay the family business in exchange for a county lord and a county lord, it hurts to think about it." ”

Uncle Eleven snorted coldly: "It's not your family, what are you worried about?" ”

When the eighth uncle heard this, he froze for a moment, turned his head and didn't speak.

The subordinates of the Lin Mansion on the side all looked at Lin Ba with some unevenness, and carefully hid the resentment in their eyes, no wonder the lord and the eldest lady repeatedly told them to be cautious in their words and deeds, not to let the people on the clan side inquire about the inside information, let alone let them catch the handle.

If they know about the belongings that the lord and the eldest lady have moved to Suzhou in the past six months, I am afraid that they will tear up the eldest lady and the eldest sister.

Steward Lin also heard the report of his subordinates, his eyes were condensed, and he ordered: "Keep an eye on them, there will be chaos in the near future, let everyone keep their mouths tight, and don't reveal a word that shouldn't be revealed, and put the master first...... Cook it well, and we'll count it later. ”

The subordinate should get down and ask hesitantly, "Butler, is the master really ...... Can't do it anymore? ”

Steward Lin's eyes were slightly red, and he waved his hand: "Go and prepare, don't let the master go uneasy." ”

Lin Jiangzheng took Lin Yubin's hand and Yin Yin admonished: "You have to listen to your sister-in-law, if there is only one person in this world who will not hurt you, it must be your sister-in-law." ”

Lin Jiang said softly: "Father doesn't want you to be rich and rich in the future, I just wish you peace and joy, and a healthy adult." ”

"Fatherβ€”" Lin Yubin held his hand and couldn't help crying.

Lin Jiang touched her head lovingly and looked at Lin Qingwan behind her.

Lin Qingwan bowed slightly to him and said, "Don't worry, I promise you, I will do my best to do it." ”

She paused and said, "Even if it costs my whole life." ”

Lin Jiang closed his eyes half relieved, and half worried.

Lin Yubin saw that her father stopped talking for a long time, so she shook him in fear and sadness, and saw that his head naturally fell to the side, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Lin Qingwan stepped forward and hugged her shoulders and said, "Eldest sister, your father is watching us, he will always be watching us, in the sky, and by our side." ”

Lin Yubin came back to his senses and threw himself on his father's body and cried bitterly, "Father, fatherβ€”"

Lin Qingwan hugged Lin Yubin, and couldn't help but have red eyes, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Lin Jiang standing beside Bai Weng, and the sadness that had just risen disappeared in an instant.

She pursed her lips, turned her head away from him, pulled Lin Yubin up, held her hand hard and said, "Eldest sister, your father is still here, and he has not disappeared." ”

Lin Yubin raised her head to look at her with tears on her face, Lin Qingwan touched her head and said, "You believe sister-in-law, your father will always look at us, although his body is dead, but his soul is immortal, he has always existed." ”

Lin Yubin looked at her sister-in-law ignorantly, completely puzzled by what she meant.

Lin Qingwan sighed, hugged her head and said, "Don't cry, your father won't want to see you sad like this." ”

Lin Yubin grabbed the corner of her sister-in-law's clothes tightly, hid in her arms and whimpered.

Lin Jiang, who had already become a soul state, was standing opposite Lin Qingwan, silently looking down at his daughter.

When the news of Lin Jiang's death came out, all families in Jiangnan sent people to mourn, and Sun Huai and Liu Pei were the first to come and help Lin Qingwan take care of the funeral together.

Lin Qingwan did not refuse, which is also a kind of manifestation.

Then there is the Xie family, Xie Yan has returned to Beijing to cancel the vacation, and Mrs. Xie did not go with him, so after receiving the news of Lin Jiang's death, she chose a few henchmen to send over, patted Lin Qingwan's hand and said: "I know that your family has released a lot of people, if you don't make a move, you will use them first." They are clumsy, but they have some experience, and you are their master, just call them. ”

Lin Qingwan declined: "Thank you mother, it's just that the family is still enough, I will beg you when it is not enough, and you don't bother me when the time comes." ”

"Why, you just come to me." Mrs. Xie did not force her, and during this time she also saw that there was a rift between the Xie Lin family.

The Xie family is ambitious, and the Lin family is not defenseless, although she hates Xie Yan and Xie Yiyang, she is still the wife of the Xie family, so there are some things she can only avoid and pretend to be deaf and dumb.

What she can do is not harm the Lin family represented by Lin Qingwan, so during this time, the Lin family sold their property and donated their property was very lively, but she stayed in the small Buddha hall and concentrated on chanting scriptures for her son.

Seeing that Lin Qingwan didn't use her people, she was not angry, and after putting a stick of incense on Lin Jiang, she took someone away.

Lin Jiang had already put on his longevity clothes and put him in the coffin, and most of his funeral had been arranged by himself before his death, and the remaining half Lin Qingwan had also arranged it for him, so it was carried out step by step at this time, and there was no chaos.

Because in the past 16 years, the Lin family has held three funerals one after another, and the older people who stayed behind are all experienced.

Lin Jiang's funeral came to his father, so everything was business as usual.

Lin Qingwan knelt on the top of Lin Yubin, bowing and thanking the people who came, while watching Lin Jiang sit on the top of the coffin and stare at the guests.

The Taoist priests walking around the coffin, and the monks sitting cross-legged on the side chanting scriptures, did not notice Lin Jiang sitting on the top of the coffin.

She silently withdrew her gaze and added some paper money to the brazier, even though she knew that Lin Jiang would not receive the money.

Although there are gods and ghosts in this world, it seems that not all monks and Taoists are masters, and I don't know if she will meet a person who can know ghosts and gods in her lifetime.

Shang Mingyuan walked up quickly, knelt behind Lin Qingwan around the crowd, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Lin, there are not enough white flags to be used in the front yard. ”

Lin Qingwan glanced at the mourning hall, and just when no one came to mourn, she got up and went to the back with Shang Mingyuan, she frowned and said, "I remember to prepare a lot, how can it not be enough?" ”

"You don't know, there are people standing three miles from the main street to the city gate, all for my uncle to see him off. In addition to the road sacrifices set up by each family, there are many people who come spontaneously, some are a little bit of a village, and some are a few families in one place, there are too many people, we must add people here, so as not to have accidents on the way, so the things prepared before are a little insufficient, do you see whether to let the steward buy it now, or ......"

Lin Qingwan thought for a while and said, "I remember that there were some piled up in the No. 5 warehouse in the backyard, which were prepared for me before, and then they didn't use it and didn't dispose of it, so ask them to take it out and use it." ”

Shang Mingyuan: ......

Lin Qingwan had already turned around to leave, "You have been working hard for the past few days, and I will thank you again when your uncle comes out of the funeral." ”

Shang Mingyuan said dumbfoundedly: "My ancestor asked me to come to Yangzhou to help my uncle and cousin, and these are what my nephew should do." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded slightly to him and turned back to the mourning hall.

Although the funeral has been arranged in advance, and Steward Lin and Steward Zhong also have to be used, some things still have to be done in front of Shang Mingyuan and Shang Mingming.

For example, when entertaining male guests who come to mourn, you can't let Steward Lin and Steward Zhong come forward, right?

Originally, Lin Qingwan invited Lin Run and the three sect elders to come forward, and with the help of Sun Huai and Liu Pei, it was almost the same.

But she didn't expect so many people to come, in addition to the local squires in Yangzhou, there are also squires from other areas of Jiangnan, wealthy families and businessmen, in addition to students from various prefectures, and scholars who have traveled to Jiangnan also came to mourn, most of which Lin Qingwan does not know, and the Lin family has never befriended.

But people came to mourn, which was the glory of Lin Jiang and the Lin family, so she could only bother to entertain.

Many people come to put on incense, bow and leave, but some people choose to stay.

The former needs her to arrange for someone to be delivered to the door, bow and thank you, and the latter needs to arrange a meal and then bow and send it away.

In less than three days, the three sect elders couldn't stand it and fell ill, only Lin Run and Sun Huai and Liu Pei persevered, but the three of them were obviously not enough, so the Shang Mingyuan brothers who remained in the Lin Mansion were arrested by Lin Qingwan.

As for Lin Yong and his sons, who were still lying on the bed, as long as they didn't come out to make trouble for her, she would be very grateful.
