Chapter 39: Awareness

After nightfall, the people who came to worship came to an end temporarily, and the monks and Taoists also went down to rest, and only the two aunts and nephews and a few henchmen were left in the mourning hall.

Lin Qingwan glanced at Lin Yubin, whose face was pale, and got up to leave.

Bai Mei and Bai Feng hurriedly followed, and Lin Qingwan leaned against the door and said, "You and Yingyan Birong will discuss it, leave two people here, and the rest will go to rest, and come back tomorrow morning to serve." ”

Bai Mei and Bai Feng glanced at each other and responded in a low voice.

"Go to the kitchen and get a bowl of goat's milk, let them make porridge with vegetables, often warm, and my eldest sister and I will use it at night." The five-day funeral made Lin Qingwan's face a little pale, but it was much better than Lin Yubin, who was almost fainting from crying.

She returned to the mat in front of the coffin and sat down, pressed Lin Yubin, who was kneeling with wood, on her lap and lay down, and said to her wooden eyes: "Sleep for a while, my sister-in-law will call you when it's time to refuel." ”

Lin Yubin moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say a word, just closed his eyes and frowned tightly.

Lin Qingwan knew that she was not asleep, her closed eyes kept fluttering, and a quarter of an hour later, footsteps sounded outside, and Lin Qingwan followed the sound to look over.

Shang Mingjie came in cautiously with goat's milk, and couldn't help but pause at Lin Qingwan's gaze, and he flattered and called "Aunt Lin".

Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight and his face was a little pale, Lin Qingwan withdrew her gaze, pointed to the small low table on the side and said, "Move over." ”

Ying Yan, who was left, immediately stepped forward to take the bowl in Shang Mingjie's hand and asked him to move the low table before putting the bowl on.

Lin Yubin had already opened his eyes, got up and sat down, and looked at Shang Mingjie and his sister-in-law silently.

Lin Qingwan stirred the steamed thick goat's milk, pushed it to Lin Yubin and said, "Drink it all." ”

Lin Yubin frowned, and Shang Mingjie persuaded in a low voice: "Cousin, you just listen to Aunt Lin, and let your uncle feel at ease." ”

Lin Yubin's eyes were red, and he silently took the bowl, and slowly drank it all even if he was nauseated. Lin Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Shang Mingjie, "You go down to rest, there will be many people coming to mourn tomorrow." ”

Shang Mingjie glanced at Lin Yubin worriedly, and refused to leave.

Only after half a ring did he snort: "Aunt Lin, my uncle has always taken care of me, why don't I leave a wake-up tonight." ”

Lin Qingwan looked at him fixedly, her eyes swept to Lin Jiang sitting on the coffin, and finally pointed to the mat opposite and said, "Then you can go." ”

Shang Mingjie immediately knelt down opposite and burned a handful of paper money for his uncle first.

Perhaps it was the credit of the bowl of goat's milk, Lin Yubin's pale face finally slowly became ruddy, not as pale as before.

In this era, the funeral system was very strict, and Lin Yubin, Lin Jiang's only daughter, had to keep vigil at night.

Of course, she wants to go down to sleep, and it's nothing to leave someone to guard the lantern, but Lin Qingwan feels that she will definitely not go down, so she doesn't bother to persuade her.

Anyway, there is a seat in front of the coffin, and now it is the beginning of autumn, and the weather in Yangzhou is not cold, so you can sleep on the mat and cover it with a blanket.

Lin Qingwan didn't leave, watching Lin Yubin and Shang Mingjie work together to add oil to the lamp in front of the spirit, and asked Yingyan to go down and bring up the vegetable porridge.

She said to the two children, "I haven't eaten for half a day, you can eat some with me." ”

Just to say that Lin Yubin, who had no appetite, silently picked up the bowl and barely ate half a bowl.

Lin Qingwan didn't let Lin Yubin continue to kneel, but forcefully pressed her down on the seat, and said with a calm face: "If you fall ill, then I will not only take care of your father's funeral, but also take care of you, my sister-in-law is not iron-beaten." ”

Lin Yubin could only lie down.

Lin Qingwan's hand gently patted her back, and as a few nights before, her eyes became heavier and heavier, and she slowly fell asleep.

Shang Mingjie on the other side breathed a sigh of relief, and also fell asleep on the mat, but he didn't sleep well, and he woke up every once in a while to watch the lamp, and to burn paper money for his uncle.

Lin Qingwan met several times when she woke up with her eyes open, but she simply didn't wake up and let Shang Mingjie do her best.

The next day, Lin Yubin woke up and was annoyed, she slept so deeply, let alone looking at the lights, she even missed the time to refuel in the middle of the night.

Shang Mingjie's eyes were blue, but he was very satisfied, and said to Lin Yubin: "Cousin, I will come to the wake tomorrow night, don't worry." ”

Lin Yubin glared at him and said, "What am I worried about, what else do I have to worry about now?" ”

Shang Mingjie opened his mouth and whispered, "You go wash up, use something with Aunt Lin, and the guests should come in a while." ”

Lin Yubin pursed her lips, and followed Lin Qingwan to the backyard sullenly, Lin Qingwan saw that she was lost, so she touched her head and said; "That's because your father feels sorry for you, which is why you fell asleep, don't get into the horns."

Lin Yubin thought that her sister-in-law was just comforting herself, but she was still blaming herself.

As a daughter, how could she sleep like a dead pig while keeping a wake for her father?

Lin Jiang also realized that he was in trouble, looking at his daughter who blamed himself, he couldn't help touching his nose, and looked at Lin Qingwan again and again, hoping that she could find a way to relieve his daughter.

Lin Qingwan rolled her eyes at him.

When Lin Yubin looked up, she happened to see that her body stiffened, and she looked at the place where her sister-in-law had just rolled her eyes, and saw that there was nothing there.

Her eyes froze, her eyes widened slightly, and she quickly withdrew her gaze when her sister-in-law looked over, except for Bai Weng, who was watching idly on the side, no one noticed Lin Yubin's abnormality.

Bai Weng thought about it and didn't say anything in the end, he was afraid of being struck by lightning, it must be like this.

Lin Jiang continued to look at her daughter with pity, Lin Qingwan stepped forward and took her hand and continued to walk to the backyard, "Let's wash up first, the guests will come in a while." ”

Lin Yubin silently followed.

The news of Lin Jiang's death reached the capital as quickly as possible, and the emperor drew up a nickname for Lin Jiang after pondering for half a night - Wenzheng!

It belongs to the highest honor in the civil service and the entire bureaucracy, and only one person in the founding of the Great Liang has received this nickname so far, that is, Lin Jiang's grandfather Lin Ying.

He was a person who made great contributions to the country, so the emperor was willing, and the ministers did not object. And Lin Jiang's merits were not half a star worse than his grandfather, and he even got this nickname, and the ministers were silent for a while.

But thinking of the property he donated, that kind of courage and heart is something that most people can't take, so everyone can't object, so they can only acquiesce.

On the afternoon of the sixth day after Lin Jiang's death, the officials of the Ministry of Rites with the special decree drove into the city on fast horses and went to the Lin Mansion to announce the decree with shaking legs.

Lin Jiang added the number Wenzheng!

Lin Qingwan took the holy decree on behalf of the Lin family, and asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the guards who followed them to rest, seeing that their legs were slightly spread and their feet were trembling slightly, she couldn't help but sigh, "The officials are not so easy to be." ”

Lin Jiang nodded with affection, he has also lived such days, in order to hurry, he has to travel overnight, usually changing horses without changing people, after a few days of leg abrasion, he is still unstable and light, and he can't even sit still if he is serious.

And those who delivered urgent documents in the post station or sent information in wartime, and the number of people who died suddenly on the road or at the end of the road is unknown.

Lin Qingwan listened to Lin Jiang's careful chatter, she thought about it and asked Dr. Xu to go to the guest house to have a look, so she came for Lin Jiang.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and several guards were examined by Dr. Xu one by one, and finally left a few prescriptions and a few bottles of smeared wound medicine before leaving.

The official of the Ministry of Rites led by him couldn't help but sigh, "I often hear people say that working with Lord Lin is like a spring breeze, but now it seems to be true at all." From the actions of his family, you can see that Lord Lin is thoughtful. ”

A few guards who came with nodded approvingly, yes, they also escorted the adults of various departments on business trips, but there were few people who were as unflattering and thoughtful as the Lin family.

Lin Qingwan put the holy decree into the ancestral hall and said to Lin Jiang, who was standing beside her: "You didn't expect you to get this nickname, did you?" ”

"I thought I would get the nickname 'Wenzhong' like my father." The corners of Lin Jiang's mouth curled slightly, "Everything is different, and they are all developing on the good side, Miss Lin, thank you." ”

The corners of Lin Qingwan's mouth curled slightly, and she said softly: "It will be better in the future, you can watch it." ”

Bai Weng, who was standing quietly behind the two of them, saw the figure that flashed at the door, and was silent, but still did not speak.

Hmph, he was just afraid of being struck by lightning, not because Shangxian and Lin Qingwan didn't save him when he was struck by lightning last time.

Lin Yubin nervously pinched her handkerchief, and when she turned the corner, she collided with Shang Mingjie, she was startled, and took two steps back while holding her chest.

Shang Mingjie saw that her face turned pale, and took two steps forward anxiously, "Cousin, what's wrong with you, but I hurt you?" ”

Lin Yubin clutched his chest, feeling that the heart that almost popped out of his chest slowly calmed down, and then he scolded: "Are you in a hurry to reincarnate, you are in such a hurry." ”

"It's my second uncle who came, and he didn't know what to do with his eldest brother, and the front yard was a little busy, so I came to Aunt Lin to get an idea...... Cousin, what are you doing in such a hurry? Is it unwell for you to be so pale? ”

Lin Yubin opened his mouth, remembering his father's advice, and finally closed his mouth and said, "It's not uncomfortable, it's just that I thought that there was no one in the mourning hall, so I was in a hurry to take a look." ”

Shang Mingjie thought for a while and said, "I'll send you there." ”

Lin Yubin thought that her sister-in-law was still in the ancestral hall, and she didn't really want Shang Mingjie to find her, so she nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

Shang Mingjie happily sent Lin Yubin back to the mourning hall.

Lin Qingwan felt that Lin Yubin had behaved a lot in the past two days, she let her rest, she would rest, she would eat when she let her eat, and her appetite would be better, unlike before, when she was barely stuffed and occasionally vomited.

Lin Qingwan was happy in her heart, her main task was to raise Lin Yubin, she could eat and sleep in order to grow up healthily.

Seeing that her sister-in-law was happy, Lin Yubin also breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes couldn't help but drift around, I don't know if her father was watching her from the side.

Lin Jiang is indeed here, but he will have to leave after today.

His soul is too powerful, and staying in this world has a great impact on it, and if he doesn't leave, the Heavenly Dao should thunder.

So he'll be able to stay for the first seven.
