"Huh-Miss, Zhou Tingshi brought Suzhou officials to welcome three miles away, and the clan relatives and the squires of Suzhou are also there."

Lin Qingwan lifted the curtain and glanced ahead, there were green trees in her eyes, and she couldn't see anyone at all, so she asked, "How far is it from the city gate?" ”

"Ten miles!"

That's seven miles away.

Lin Qingwan thought for a while and said, "Tell me to go on, from today onwards, the eldest sister is the eldest lady of the Lin family, and I am my aunt and grandmother." ”

The family member on the horse was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Yes, auntie!" ”

The family turned around and ordered, in less than a quarter of an hour, the subordinates of the Lin Mansion in the convoy all received instructions, and when they stopped to rest in the middle, the Lin steward also divided the subordinates into groups and came forward to kowtow to Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin respectively.

Seeing this, Lin Qingwan simply asked Bai Mei to take out a large bag of purses from the car and send it down, which was a string of copper plates, all of which were fifty wen a string, which was regarded as a change of mouth fee for the next person.

This is also a common practice, I originally wanted to return to Suzhou and let them change their words, but since there were so many people who came to pick them up, they simply took this opportunity to set the title, so as not to change it in the future.

Lin Run watched silently from the side, no wonder the second brother dared to hand over the family business to Sister Wan'er, she had indeed grown a lot.

The three sect elders were also pondering, and the eighth uncle couldn't help but mutter, "It's another Haoyu." ”

The sixth uncle sighed, "The branch has always produced smart people, even if it is a girl." ”

Uncle Eleventh smiled, his eyes swept over Lin Yong and Eighth Uncle, and smiled meaningfully.

Shang Mingyuan and Shang Mingjie are much simpler, they are completely fun, and they also went to Lin Qingwan to call their aunt twice, and successfully got a reward.

Lin Yong, father and son, who were all sick in the family, couldn't help but be angry when they heard the lively sound outside, and Lin Yong gritted his teeth; "Lin Qingwan, wait for me to return to Suzhou......"

Lin Lun "vomited", hugged the bowl and vomited, and said weakly after vomiting: "Dad, don't talk big, otherwise we should be seriously ill again." ”

Lin Yong's face changed again and again, and finally suppressed the anger in his chest, and asked in a low voice, "I asked you to find the sixth uncle, did you go to find it?" ”

Lin Lun burst into tears, "I found it, but the sixth uncle didn't believe my words at all, saying that we were just not adapting to the soil and water, and he also gave me a pulse, saying that the prescription prescribed by Dr. Xu was correct, and the medicine residue we collected with great effort was also shown to him, and he said that the medicine residue was no problem." also said that we are villains, so everyone looks like they want to harm us, and now the sixth uncle is frowning when he looks at me from afar, how dare I come up? ”

Lin Dai also said: "Dad, let's not toss, we haven't found out how they hurt us until now, every time you scold them, we will suffer later, and we are about to return to Suzhou, we can't have an accident in the end." ”

Lin Yong's face changed, and he gritted his teeth before he half a loud voice and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, and I'll talk about it when I return to Suzhou." ”

The driver who was driving in front of him shook the corners of his mouth, and continued to drive without squinting, hum, don't think that he can't hear if he lowers his voice, the butler sent him to follow them because his ears are more sensitive than ordinary people.

Sure enough, after the break, Lin Qingwan received the latest news from Lin Yong's father and son, and she thought for a while: "It's about to enter the city, let's ignore them for the time being, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Steward Lin responded and asked people to change the tea sent over in time.

The seven-mile journey passed quickly, and not long after noon, Lin Qingwan saw carriages parked on the side of the road in front of her, and a simple grass pavilion was built on the grass next to it, with only one top, but there were light curtains hanging around it, and there were seats underneath.

As the carriage got closer and closer, with Lin Qingwan's current excellent eyesight, she could still see the fruits and tea bowls placed on the table, and Lin Qingwan silently lowered the curtain.

Lin Yubin sensitively sensed that her sister-in-law was in a bad mood, and couldn't help but whisper, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled at her and said softly: "It's okay, you are still a child, don't get out of the car when you get to the place for a while, my sister-in-law will go down and say a few words to them and leave." ”

Lin Yubin looked puzzled, this way back, there were a lot of people who came to see each other, every place there were people who spontaneously came to give their father a road sacrifice, and the sister-in-law was very respectful, that is, she got out of the car and bowed in return when it rained, why didn't she get off the car this time?

Lin Qingwan didn't explain, just touched her head and said, "It's not too early, we have to send your father to the temple to stay first, and then go home." It's just that the mansion here in Suzhou has not been occupied for many years, and we have to be busy with a lot of things, so it's not good to do more on the road. ”

Lin Yubin pouted, "But haven't you already asked Zhong Daguan to come back and clean up in advance, he has always been dedicated, and he shouldn't let us work anymore, sister-in-law, you lied to me." ”

Lin Qingwan winked at her and laughed in a low voice: "Silly boy, this is not a lie, this is a polite remark to outsiders, you just know it in your heart, you don't have to say it." ”

Lin Yubin opened his mouth wide.

"I was very clever when I was young, and once your father took me with him when he went out to meet friends, and I was only three years old at that time, and you were still in your mother's womb. Because your mother often read to you your father's poems, and I memorized them when I heard them a lot, so I recited them at the feast, and everyone praised me for my intelligence, and I thought I was wise, but your father reasoned that I had a better memory, and that I was not so smart. ”

This story was told to Sister Wan by Yubin's mother Shang, and then Sister Wan told her, Sister Wan was seriously ill at that time, and knew that Lin Qingwan was going to replace her, so she often told her about her.

Lin Qingwan remembers it very clearly.

"At that time, I was very angry when I heard it, so I had an awkward quarrel with your father, and ignored him all day, and your father couldn't cry or laugh, and explained to me that he also thought that his sister was the smartest in the world, but saying that in front of others was proud, and it would be annoying, so I could only be polite, not that I didn't think I was smart." Lin Qingwan looked at her and said, "What I said just now was polite. ”

"My aunt and I still have to talk politely."

"I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the patriarch who happened to be walking next to our car just now."

Lin Yubin was startled, and hurriedly turned her head to look, only to find that the window on her side was open, and in front of their carriage, Lin Run was riding a horse, as if talking to the people inside.

That is, he was walking outside her window just now.

Lin Yubin relieved his heart, pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law doesn't like Zhou Tingshi and them, otherwise why don't you let me go down and bow and thank you?" ”

"Others treat me with sincerity, I naturally return with sincerity, others are just pretending, why should I catch up?" Lin Qingwan sneered: "What's more, you are not in good health, you have been traveling for days, and you are a child, isn't it normal not to get out of the car?" ”

Lin Yubin immediately heard that the second half was the polite words that the sister-in-law said just now.

She pursed her lips and asked no more, but she took them to heart.

The carriage quickly stopped, and Steward Lin stepped forward and said, "Grandma, Zhou Tingshi is waiting in front with all the masters." ”

"Let's catch the wagon."

Steward Lin was also stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses and immediately arranged for the car in front to make way for Lin Qingwan's carriage, and delayed the carriage for a quarter of an hour before coming forward.

If you walk early.

The old men and gentlemen who were waiting in front didn't expect this new head of the Lin family to be so big, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Steward Lin had already cleverly walked to the side of the carriage, took down the stool when the carriage stopped, bowed down and said, "County Lord, it's here." ”

It wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone in the front rows to hear.

Everyone stood solemnly with straight faces.

Lin Qingwan got out of the car with a small face, Zhou Tingshi hesitated for a moment and bowed first: "Suzhou Assassin Zhou Cong's subordinate officials see the county lord. ”

Lin Qingwan accepted his salute impartially, and said with her head bowed: "Zhou Thorn Shi is polite, you have to work in such a hot weather to welcome you out of the three miles, and thank you here on behalf of your brother first." When I go back to burn paper money with my brother, I will report to him in detail when I talk about family life. ”

Cold sweat almost slipped down everyone's foreheads, and Zhou Tingshi shook his lips and said: "The county lord doesn't have to be too polite, this is what the lower officials should do, no, there is no need to tell Wen Zhenggong in particular." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly, looked around, and said after crossing everyone's faces: "It's not too early, everyone has been waiting here for a long time, and we have only returned to our hometown, and the family is busy, so we won't invite everyone to come to the door for the time being, and we will thank you another day." ”

After that, he turned around and was about to get in the car and leave.

Everyone is sluggish, and that's it?

They have been waiting for this sentence since the morning?

Shouldn't it be to set up a road sacrifice and let them cry happily at Lin Jiang's coffin first?

Zhao Sheng didn't expect Lin Qingwan to suddenly become so strong, but after glancing at everyone, he became excited, this is really a sleepy pillow, and he is worried that he can't find a chance.

Zhao Sheng took a step forward and said, "Miss Lin, everyone came here without any effort, and waited under the scorching sun for a long time, so that everyone could put incense on Lord Lin and pay respects." ”

There was some sadness on his face; "Don't worry, it's just a stick of incense, and it won't delay Miss Lin to go home and rest."

Lin Qingwan had already stepped on the stool, and she didn't stop when she heard the words, but stepped directly on the stool to get into the car, stood on the wheel and looked at Zhao Sheng condescendingly and sneered: "Second Master Zhao, let me remind you of two things, first, I am married, and now I am the aunt and grandmother of the Lin family, you can call me Aunt Lin, or you can call me the county lord, but please don't call me Miss Lin again; Second, you are indeed very hard, you really forced you to wait for us for a long time under this scorching sun, you must be thirsty and hungry now, it just so happens that I still have some dry food and tea in my convoy, so I will treat you as a reward. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but sweep to the curtains and refreshments on the side, their faces were hot, and they instantly understood why Lin Qingwan had this attitude.

This, this, they didn't mean it, they were very sincere when they came this morning, but they didn't expect the Lin family's convoy to be slower than expected, and they didn't come after waiting for a long time.

The sun is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't know who first ordered the subordinates to build a grass pavilion and put out refreshments......
