125 Lin Mansion outside the West Gate
By the moat outside the west gate of the imperial capital city wall, a construction team came out of nowhere to level a large vacant land. Soon after, several steamers brought bricks, long wood, stones, and building materials such as sand, steel, and cement.
Next, 20 carpenters and bricklayers took turns to work "non-stop". Twenty days later, a courtyard was transplanted with osmanthus, pines and cypresses, and various fruit trees. Standing in front of the eyes of pedestrians, the gray-white marble lintel has two titanium characters of "Lin Fu". Under the sunshine, it is dazzling!
Pedestrians passing by the moat caught a glimpse of the courtyard house hidden under a green canopy on the opposite side. The whole would be muttering to themselves: Wow, it's only been twenty days. This tall, western-style courtyard house was completed, which is really an unexpected speed!
Of course, they did not forget to sigh: in this way, the owner of this house must be a rich and powerful court official. Otherwise, he is just a wealthy man with a fortune. What can drive these bricklayers and carpenters to work so hard for him?
Occasionally, I met a major general in armor, playing with a few children at the door. These pedestrians were even more sure of the conjecture in their hearts: there is no doubt that the owner of this house must be a court official!
Even if any immortal went down to the mortal world and lent these pedestrians a little wisdom. They could never guess that the owner of this courtyard house, hidden under the green canopy, was a thirty-eight-year-old woman. She will take herself and the descendants of Wan Qilin to live in it for a long time!
They occasionally met the young general who was playing with the children, and in fact, it was her four brothers who took turns visiting here during their work breaks. To put it bluntly, she is here to protect the safety of her and her descendants!
Leaning against the red iron gate, Lin Xiaoyuan muttered to herself in a comfortable mood: Under the secret protection of the four brothers of her mother's family and the two bodyguards hired by her father. Rely on the wealth of the family to go to the market to buy necessary daily necessities, as well as some coarse grains, vegetables and fruits that are planted and planted in the yard. I and the descendants of Wanfu should be able to live a stable life in the future!
Of course, in Lin Xiaoyuan's heart. There is also an "imminent" problem: we must find out the day of the execution of my father-in-law and the unicorn. When the warden and the executioner had left the scene, their bodies were brought back and buried there. Forever and forever with me and my children, they will not feel lonely and lonely!
This poignant thought made the rooster crow three times a day. drove her to light the oil lamp with pine minko and bring clean water to freshen up briefly. He put on men's robes, riding boots, felt hats, and false eyebrows and beards. "disguised" herself as a man, accompanied by the two bodyguards hired for her by her father and mother, and walked around under the walls of the imperial capital!
When she saw a "Notice" with the face of "Father-in-law and Qilin", she would pretend to look at the surrounding scenery and walk over. Look at the end of the payment office, whether the day of the execution is written!
Then, I saw that the sky was gradually turning white and bright. Lin Xiaoyuan cautiously returned to the built "Lin Mansion", took off her men's robe, riding boots, felt hat, fake beard and fake eyebrows. Change into your own clothes and shoes and start a busy and refreshing breakfast for the kids!
Today, the rooster crows three times. She disguised herself as a man, and walked out of this "Lin Mansion" with two bodyguards to walk under the walls of the imperial capital. Suddenly, she saw that a "Circular" with two portraits had become a brand new ash paper. Immediately, her heart "poofed" and jumped wildly!
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyuan pinched her thigh twice. Immediately, a sharp pain came from her, reminding her to restrain her impatience. I walked slowly to the "Notice" and stared at the clearly written contents. Of course, I didn't forget to pay attention: at the end of the payment, the date of execution is written in bold letters!
At this moment, she is dreaming of "One Thousand and One Nights". would never have thought that the new "Notice" would list all kinds of crimes committed by Wan Qilin before marrying her. There are also the signatures of the families of the victims' daughters, and the joint complaint letters of these people!
Lin Xiaoyuan clearly remembers that since she took her children to live in the "Lin Mansion" outside the east gate of the imperial capital city wall, to the seven days when she lived in the "Lin Mansion" outside the west gate of the imperial capital city wall. The content on the "Notice" is that the two masters of Wanfu borrowed soldiers and horses to enter Beijing to assist the rebel minister Ning Feihu. Breaking into the palace to "seek power and usurp the throne" was decided by Dali Temple in the first instance to "destroy the nine clans"!
What puzzled her was that when Qilin made these mistakes in the past, he was in charge of the prefect and county order of Morning Glory Town, Huayang County, Southern Jiangsu. Why was he not imprisoned, or even sentenced? It stands to reason that these tragedies occurred in the area under their own jurisdiction. It is impossible for them not to receive a "report"! Why is it that today, these unbearable mistakes of the unicorn. Is it going to be pulled back up?
With these incomprehensible questions, Lin Xiaoyuan returned to the "Lin Mansion" located outside the west gate of the imperial capital city wall in a trance. Without caring about removing all "men's attire", he stumbled into the basement of the main house. Facing the tablets she cut out of cardboard one by one, she knelt down, kowtowed three times and sobbed three times: The ancestors of Wanfu are above, and the younger generations will kowtow to you!
Then she could no longer control herself and cried on the ground.
Frightened, the two bodyguards hurriedly rushed down, and forcibly pulled Lin Xiaoyuan up and forcibly pressed him on the chair next to him. The two persuaded in unison as if they had made an appointment: Miss Four, you cry like this. It will definitely attract the Imperial Guards or the Jinyi Guards who defend the city! If things really develop to that point, the hard work of General Lin and several Major General Lin. But it's "falling short", and you must not do this again in the future!
These words completely woke up the exhausted woman. She took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face twice, sobbing and said, "Two brothers, you two are very right. In the future, if I cry again because of the affairs of Wanfu. You two are beating me and scolding me, and you have to stop me crying!
As soon as the words landed, Lin Xiaoyuan stood up and lit the candles in front of the tablets with pine seeds. Immediately after, he grabbed a handful of "cloud sandalwood" and lit the incense burner inserted in front of these tablets. Then he pulled off the felt hat on his head, ripped off his false eyebrows and beard, and took off the man's robe. Hands clasped together and raised to their chests, bowed three times to the tablets, and then walked out of the basement!
Immediately, a dazzling light rushed to his face. It made her wake up again, and she couldn't help but tap her head and exclaim: Oh, it's already dawn. I almost forgot to give the kids a busy breakfast!
The words slipped out, and Lin Xiaoyuan didn't care about putting on her clothes and shoes. I hurried to the kitchen!
At this time, there was a knock on the door. mixed with a familiar voice, it got into her ears: Little Yuanmei, Daddy and I came to see you together. Open the door!
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyuan rushed to the door and pulled off the bolt "with wind under her feet". Then he opened the door and bent down to give a big salute to his relatives, pointed to the main house and said, "Father, mother and brothers, please come in with me to drink tea!"
The thinly dressed daughter in front of her stimulated Mrs. Delin's heart as if it were tearing. She rushed in and grabbed her daughter's cold hand and said inexplicably: Xiaoyuan, it has entered the second half of autumn. Why are you still wearing so little! You were given all the clothes you wore as a girl, and we told the tailor to make you a lot of clothes. How could it not be enough for you to wear?
The four middle-aged men outside glanced at the movement around them. Glancing at each other, three of them walked into the mansion with their father in their arms, and the other was a middle-aged man who deliberately left behind. Then he turned around and closed the door!
General Lin hurriedly took off his cloak and coat to protect him from the wind and cold, put it on his daughter's body and said: Xiaoyuan, now this kind of ghost weather is quite cool in the morning and evening. The wind and cool air can't penetrate the armor that my father wears, but your mother has to ask me to wear it. Hurry up and put on this cloak coat!
When everyone walked towards the main house, the two bodyguards said in unison: General Lin and old lady, stay here for eight days. Miss Four: The rooster crows three times a day----
Without waiting for the two of them to finish speaking, Lin Xiaoyuan hurriedly said: "Two brothers, please shut up." Later, I will explain everything to my father, mother and four brothers!
Hearing this, the two bodyguards were no longer "talkative". The two of them rushed into the kitchen and were busy with breakfast for Miss Four!
As soon as her buttocks settled on the chair in the main room, Mrs. Lin reached out and hugged her daughter in her arms and said painfully: Xiaoyuan, daughters-in-law and sons-in-law are children who have worked hard to raise. You shouldn't ask them to do their work! However, your sons and daughters have grown up and started a family. You can use them to do what you can! Now that you're thirty-eight years old, how can you still "take care of everything"?
As soon as her words landed, General Lin picked up the conversation: Xiaoyuan, your mother is very right. It's not what it used to be, and you really should nurture your children in the future. The ability to "support yourself"!
When Lin Xiaoyuan heard this, she nodded and said: Father, mother, it will not be long before the children leave Wanfu, where "clothes come to reach out and food to open their mouths". Let them participate in the work now, I am afraid that they will not be able to accept this reality for a while! But you two can rest assured. I'll make them work more gradually!
Speaking of this, she deliberately sighed and said: Dad, mother, we have broken up with several sisters for more than a month. In the past few days, I wonder how they are doing? Originally, I was thinking of asking you two to come and take care of the children for me for two days. Now, you're "uninvited." That's great!
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin blurted out: Xiaoyuan, you and the ladies of Qilin get along like sisters. It's hard not to worry about them when you are separated from them coldly! Okay, we'll promise to take care of the kids for you. Don't worry, be bold enough to go to those sisters!
Hearing this, the two bodyguards in the kitchen looked at each other and threw out the worries in their hearts: in case Emperor Yongxi used the "Wanfu Lords and Sons" as bait and spread nets all over the execution ground. Waiting for the three old ladies and the five young ladies of Wanfu to "throw themselves into the net", it will be terrible!
Then, the two of them said in unison: I think it is necessary to tell the fourth lady's thoughts to General Lin and Mrs. Lin today. Otherwise, if she goes to the execution ground to collect the corpses of "Wanfu Ye and Er". fell into the ambush of the masters of the imperial court, and our hearts will definitely not be able to live in peace from now on!
As soon as the words popped out, bodyguard A rushed out of the kitchen to the main room and said, "Old lady, you are fooled." Miss Fourth didn't want to meet her former sisters, she wanted to go----
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiaoyuan waved his hand and interrupted: Big brother, I'm afraid the children are about to get up. Go and help that big brother with breakfast!
Bodyguard A clasped his fists with both hands and gave a salute, and said unrelentingly: Miss Four, the stakes are very high. The little one must clarify the facts to General Lin, and he can only choose to be sorry for you!
The words "the stakes are very high" aroused the suspicion of General Lin and the four Major General Lin. They turned to their loved ones together as if they had made an appointment, waved their hands and said, "Xiaoyuan, we are your dearest." Have the obligation and responsibility to know what you want to do, let him say it!
In a hurry, Lin Xiaoyuan stood up abruptly and pushed the bodyguard armor towards the kitchen. But he found that a figure flashed, and his eldest brother stood at the door of the main house with his hands folded on his chest and said with a tense face: Xiaoyuan, if you still think that we are all your closest relatives. Just say what you want to do!
The words of the eldest brother have already said this, and the woman who is the younger sister can only put down the bodyguard armor. turned around and knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes: Dad, mother and four brothers, I know that the day after tomorrow will be the day of execution of my father-in-law and Qilin. I also know that you will definitely prevent me from going to the Huayang County Ya in southern Jiangsu to collect the bodies of them. That's why I'm lying to you!
As soon as her words landed, General Lin turned to bodyguard A and said with a frown: "Escort Li, since she took the children into my mansion. Because I was afraid that people who knew Wan Qilin would see her, I didn't agree that she would go out! So after she and her children moved in. Do you two take her out every day?
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyuan hurriedly said: Daddy, it's all my daughter begging bitterly. They promised to take me out to the walls of the imperial capital when the rooster crows three times a day. Don't blame them!
Old Madam Lin suddenly realized and said: "Escort Li, it turns out that you just wanted to tell us. The rooster crows three times a day, and Xiaoyuan will go out to visit the imperial capital city wall! I thought she was waking up so early. It's a busy breakfast for the kids!
The words slipped out, and she couldn't help but punch her daughter and shook her head and sighed and said: Hey, the two of them are going to "fall to the ground". Xiaoyuan, why are you doing this?
Old General Lin stood up angrily, pointed to the bodyguard armor and said angrily: "Escort Li, you and Escort Yang are too bold. Take Xiaoyuan to visit the imperial capital city wall, in case something happens. Can you two take on this responsibility?
Hearing this, the bodyguard A snorted and said: Just because we know that the situation is serious, we and Yang Escort think about it and feel that it is necessary to let you know. What the fourth lady is thinking in her heart!
As soon as his words landed, the four Major General Lin said: Daddy, we are here to bring Xiaoyuan back. Don't say anything more, let's take her away now!
In a hurry, Lin Xiaoyuan kowtowed three times to her father and mother, raised her bloody cheeks and sobbed: Father, mother, twenty years ago, it was the two of you who listened to the lies of General Ning, the eldest aunt of Wan Qilin. Tie me to him! Today, he and his children have children. If I don't bring their bodies back here for burial. When the children ask about them later, how will I answer?
These reasonable words brought tears to the eyes of the two old men and their four sons. It's like a "flood that has opened the floodgates", scrambling to squeeze out the eye sockets that have been beating them for a long time!
Immediately, there was silence in the main room. All that's left is a sobbing sound, stretching and swirling in the air above!
After about a stick of incense, General Lin took out a handkerchief and wiped his tearful cheeks twice. Choked up and said: Xiaoyuan, my father and mother only listened to General Xinning's "one-sided words". Before going to Huayang County, southern Jiangsu to investigate the situation, he agreed to propose his relatives for Wan Qilin. It's really a foolish move!
Speaking of this, he pulled up his daughter who was kneeling in front of him and said: Xiaoyuan, you have to explain to the children in the future. Daddy is not to blame! It's just that your four brothers and I are worried. The emperor took the opportunity of "executing the two sons of Wanfu", in case he spread nets around the execution ground again. If you go to collect their bodies, you will be "throwing yourself into the net"!
Hearing this, the bodyguard A said anxiously: General Lin, I accompanied the fourth lady on the way back today. We and Yang Guard are also worried! It turns out that your old man and the four major generals also thought of it. Hey, we shouldn't have agreed to Miss Four's request. Otherwise, she would never know the day when the two sons of Wanfu were executed by the "emperor's decree"!
As soon as his words landed, the four Major General Lin couldn't help but turn to him and be furious at the same time: Escort Li, our father originally ordered you two to accompany her. It's just for the two of you to stare at her! But look at what you two are doing, now Xiaoyuan knows everything. Do you still use these words of regret?
Old General Lin slapped the table of the Eight Immortals with a "snap" and said sternly: Now, things have happened. Don't blame them anymore!
As he spoke, he patted his daughter on the shoulder and said: Xiaoyuan, the emperor decreed that his father should be the supervisor of the rebel minister Ning Feihu and his family. For the sake of your thoughts, my father went to ask the emperor to allow me to go to Huayang County, southern Jiangsu to be a supervisor and beheader. If there is no movement around the execution ground, we will hide their bodies in the official sedan chair and transport them back. Just stay here and wait in peace!
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyuan threw herself into his arms and whimpered.
At this moment, all her and Kirin's children walked out of the main house. knelt down in front of General Lin and kowtowed with tears in their eyes!
