Chapter 153: Return to the South
Because it was almost the end of the year, the climate was cold, and the upper reaches of the Yellow River began to freeze, so it was necessary to travel by land to Hangzhou Canal to sail by boat and go straight down to the south of the Yangtze River. You Can didn't expect to borrow a falcon from the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion to send a letter, although he sent people to hurry up, so he finally got the letterhead of Fu's consent to let the 'daughter' son and 'daughter' son-in-law return to Moling a year ago, but at this time it was already the end of the moon.
And Bai Zijing read her mother's letter and agreed to go to the Lin family together to persuade the Lin family to return to Jiangnan.
- Mrs. Zhang herself is actually unwilling to live in Chang'an for a long time, people have always said that things are expensive to leave their hometowns, and people are cheap to leave their hometowns, and they have lived in Chang'an for the past two years, and the old lady feels more and more reasonable to say this.
The Lin family can be regarded as a prestigious family in Jiangnan Zhencheng, but what is it in Chang'an? Just for the sake of her son and daughter-in-law, the old lady has made a lot of compensities in the past two years. At the beginning, it was because Lin Hewang was unstable, afraid that he would be ridiculed for committing suicide when he returned to Zhencheng, at that time, Lin Hewang had no children under his knees, he really had three longs and two shorts, how could the old lady live?
But now that several years have passed, Lin Hewang's temper has become more and more obedient, and gradually the old lady can't listen to her words, and the daughter-in-law is so useless. Mrs. Zhang loves her son no matter how much she loves her, but in the long run, if she lives in Chang'an, even if the Lin family's industry can support Lin Hewang's 'flowers', her grandchildren will be pitiful.
And in the past few years, Lin Hewang has gradually gone down the road of broken jars and broken pots, and he doesn't care about the future of a pair of 'women' under his knees. Mrs. Zhang is old, and she doesn't like the climate of the Northland, so she has already put her 'fine' energy on cultivating her grandchildren and grandchildren, and while she is still alive, she can carefully cultivate her grandchildren, and she can still leave some hope for this house.
To cultivate Lin Guiniang and Lin Bao, in the end, it is better to go back to Zhencheng to settle down, otherwise it is too late for the old lady in Chang'an to worry about her son and cause trouble, not to mention the high prices in Chang'an, the same expenses in Zhencheng can raise the two sisters and brothers to be Jinzun 'jade', and in Chang'an, it is just a mediocre life. The most important thing is that when I went north in a hurry to seek medical treatment, the industry was hastily 'handed over' to the clan to take care of it, and in the past few years, I don't know what it has become to be embezzled and ruined......
Now Bai Zijing and You Can came to the 'door' together to euphemistically suggest that the Lin family might as well go back, and Mrs. Zhang also felt that it was a step. But the old lady didn't want to go to Moling, and vetoed You Can's suggestion: "The Lin family lives in Zhencheng, and in the past few years, they have lived in Chang'an in order to treat Hewang's injuries, and now that they want to go back, of course, they are going back to the ancestral house, and some properties there are entrusted to the uncle's room when they leave, and they always have to go back to thank them." β
You Can said softly: "What the old lady said is very true, it's just the fourth brother-in-law......
Old Madam Zhang now heard that her son also felt a headache, so she interrupted: "I haven't been back for several years, and Hewang expects to see his relatives as well." "This is to make up my mind to return to Zhencheng, the old lady's insistence is not strange to You Can, Mrs. Zhang is also a figure in Zhencheng, but since she came to Chang'an, her face has been seen all over the place, the old lady's city is deep, she doesn't say anything, how can she not get tired of it?
Although Zhencheng is not far from Moling, but because her son is afraid of being ridiculed, she abandons the family business, and the old lady does not have no grandson, and she refuses to give up Zhencheng's industry for the sake of her grandson.
It's just that You Can said with a smile: "The old lady misunderstood what I meant, I thought, although the fourth brother-in-law was injured, but in the past, he was Cui Shanchang's tall feet, and his ranking in the township test was not low that year." The mountain chief is now older, and he misses many disciples very much, and a few days ago, he also mentioned that he missed his fourth brother-in-law! β
Although she said this tactfully, Mrs. Zhang had already realized that she would let Lin Hewang enter Huaixing Academy as a gentleman? Ordinary people ask Mr. to teach their children, and the status of such a Xixi is high and low, but the Mr. of Huaixing Academy, which was once known as the first academy in the world, is extremely glorious.
Even in Chang'an, when the court officials mentioned the teachers of Huaixing Academy, the wording was extremely polite.
For Lin Hewang, who has no way to take the road of the imperial examination, but also cannot 'operate' other lowly industries, this is really a way out.
- This idea was not You Can's original intention, but Fu Shi tried his best to 'get' it, and he even went to You's house to ask for it - after all, the 'son-in-law' blindly messed around, and it was the 'daughter' who suffered. Fu Shi thought that if Lin Hewang could go to Huaixing Academy to teach, it would not be difficult for a few jinshi to go out of the 'door', such as Cui Qinghan of the Cui family, didn't he rely on his uncle Cui Nanfeng to rise after winning the list?
Let's just say that Lin Hewang has achieved nothing in the academy, but he is also from Huaixing Academy, and he is still a disciple of the mountain chief. If this is the case, Lin Hewang can teach people well, even if he can't inspire the family, he won't go down the road of losing the family.
Although You Can felt in his heart that Lin Hewang might not be able to reform himself when he arrived at Huaixing Academy, because Cui Nanfeng was getting older, and now he couldn't teach people at all, and he might not be able to control Lin Hewang. Besides, Cui Nanfeng's disciples are all over the world, how much attention can be put on Lin Hewang? However, the Fu family asked for this, Bai Zijing also read the letter, and also felt that this was used as a reason to let the Lin family stay in Moling first, and wait for Lin Hewang to adjust in Huaixing Academy for a few days, it would be better to have a good reputation, and then return to Zhencheng to be more decent - of course, the most important thing is that Bai Zijing also thinks that it is convenient for her sister Bai Zihua to be in the same city as her mother's family.
Mrs. Zhang thought about it a little, and then moved her heart, and readily agreed to go down to Moling to buy property and settle down, of course, it will only be Lin Hewang and others who will settle down directly in Moling, and the old lady has already calculated in her heart that the eldest grandson who is smart and has a little memory. Female' Lin Guiniang took it, and personally returned to Zhencheng to see the property of her own house, although those properties were entrusted to other houses, they would definitely be embezzled and calculated in the past few years, but the deed was in the hands of the old lady, and the profits on the surface were robbed at most......
After a rough calculation of the things to be done after going back, Mrs. Zhang felt that the Bai family's proposal was very timely, and then heard Bai Zijing ask where Lin Hewang was these days, and when the Lin family needed help when the year was approaching, she knew that Lin Hewang would definitely go out to the place of the fence again, and sighed secretly in her heart, Mrs. Zhang almost wanted to pack up her things and leave immediately.
But now the New Year's Pass is just around the corner, and secondly, the Yellow River is frozen, and the land route is too bumpy - in the event of a heavy snowstorm, it is impossible to go at all. Instead of being trapped on the road, it is better to live in Chang'an until the 'spring' day of next year, and go south after the glacier thaws, calmly rest assured.
After all, I have lived in Chang'an for a few years, and it is not bad for so many months, and when my son and daughter-in-law can't be counted on, Mrs. Zhang will not joke about herself and her young grandchildren.
The persuasion of Mrs. Zhang was extremely smooth, Bai Zijing and You Can were also relieved, and after seeing that the hour was not early, they left and left.
They also walked by coincidence, and the carriage just left the 'door', and Lin Hewang also returned. It's just that at this moment, two layers of snow have fallen in Chang'an, Bai Zijing has covered the curtain tightly, he didn't see it, and the coachman didn't pay attention to it, but Lin Hewang drank a few more wines in the Qinglou, and rode a horse, recognizing that it was the carriage of the Marquis Minping's mansion, and most of them went to their own house.
Lin Hewang is now drunk and smoky, and it is not suitable to see his elders - not to mention that his injury was caused by You Xuan, and he always likes You and others very much, and he resents that Zhuo Zhaojie seems to be disgusted with his appearance after being injured, and feels that since the other party has not found out, it is best not to dismount and salute.
But when I returned home, I still asked Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, have people from the Minping Marquis Mansion been here today?" β
Old Madam Zhang said lightly: "Someone just told you?" is not from the Hou Mansion, it is Zihua's younger brother and younger brother's 'wife'. β
"So it's them?" Lin Hewang frowned, at the beginning of Huaixing Academy, his future was considered to be above Bai Zijing, but now Bai Zijing has been preparing for the exam for the exam, but he is ......
Sensing her son's depressed mood, Mrs. Zhang was also a little unbearable, she felt that since Lin Hewang could no longer conduct scientific examinations, it was also good to teach students in 'sex', and it was also a decent business after all, so she said it to comfort her son, and said: "I have discussed with them today, after the 'spring', we will go back to Moling." β
"What?" Lin Hewang's face immediately changed, and he said, "Why?" β
He immediately thought, "Could it be that the Hou Mansion can't accommodate us in Chang'an?" β
"What kind of family is the Hou Mansion, do you want us to be able to enter this Chang'an City in Chang'an?" Old Madam Zhang frowned and reprimanded, "Where did you hear these trivial words?" It's really nameless! "Mrs. Zhang didn't really let go of her son's ruined future, but she was even more worried that if the resentment in her son's heart could not be eliminated, sooner or later she would get into trouble that she couldn't get into - when Lin Hewang went to bully the grandson of the You family, Ren Shenzhi, was he a little crazy to be so bold?
So she can only say good things everywhere, "It's the thoughtfulness of the in-laws, I don't know how much higher the 'flower' fee in Chang'an is higher than that of Jiangnan, and the climate is also bad, where can it compare to the water and soil in our Jiangnan?" Over the past few years, I feel more and more that something is wrong with my body! I have long wanted to go back, but I have been a little undecided day, today I am tall and Canniang came to say the letter written by my in-laws, I think what your mother-in-law said is also reasonable - Gui Niang and Bao Lang are going to open 'Meng' to learn things, Chang'an is expensive and troublesome to hire a Xixi here, or go back to Jiangnan, our hometown is good to inquire. And Zijing will end up next year, no matter if she hits or not, Yingniang will always be taken to them, so that your mother-in-law can free her hands and teach the two children, and she can also help. β
However, when Mrs. Zhang said this, Lin Hewang thought about it, but he sneered and said, "No wonder we want to go back to Moling, isn't this to see the 'color' of the Bai family's face?" β
"How can you talk like that?" Although Mrs. Zhang had the intention of guiding her son to think about better places everywhere, she was also a little angry when she heard this, "Your mother-in-law is thinking about you wholeheartedly!" Will she not know about her 'daughter'? It's just a thing that can't be lifted up, you're not good, can her 'daughter' be good? How could she have hurt you? β
Lin Hewang snorted: "Mother, if we want to go back to Jiangnan, why don't we go back to Zhencheng?" Why go to Moling to send people under the fence? β
In the past few years, this is the first time that Lin Hewang has mentioned that he wants to return to his ancestral home, whether he is willing to do it or not, he is willing to mention it, Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, regained her gentle 'color', and said: "What you said is also right, if it weren't for your mother-in-law's suggestion, I would also agree that since you go back, of course you will go back to our earthquake city." Only then did he say, "But your mother-in-law said that Chief Cui missed you very much, and I heard that because I wanted you to go back to the academy...... After all, the mountain chief has been in poor health for the past two years, and he can't even teach the children of the You family, you are always his former proud 'protΓ©gΓ©', and it is enough to teach those scholars in the academy, the so-called ......"
Lin Hewang narrowed his eyes and said, "Go to the academy to teach students?" β
Mrs. Zhang didn't notice her son's abnormality, and felt that her in-laws' suggestion was good, so she nodded happily and said, "Isn't it?" Huaixing Academy is famous in the whole Daliang, and it is not a disappointing talent of my son. β
ββ¦β¦ Mother has promised them? Lin Hewang squeezed his fists hard before asking in a deep voice.
Mrs. Zhang said, "Yes." She finally noticed that her son's face didn't seem to look good, and in surprise, she thought for a while and said, "If you really don't want to go...... Then let's go back to Earthquake City directly? β
Lin Hewang didn't answer directly, but said calmly: "In the past two years, I have also been taken care of by the Zhuo family in Chang'an, and before leaving, I should go to the 'door' to thank you...... This time, I'll go with Siniang. β
Old Madam Zhang was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect him to suddenly become sensible, and heard Lin Hewang say: "It's the end of the year now, I'm afraid the Zhuo family is busy, let's go again in the first month." β
"Could it be that there is a rush in my heart, and I have become better all of a sudden?" Mrs. Zhang always thought about her son's benefit, but I don't know why, when she thought so, she had a faint uneasiness in her heart.
