Chapter 171: The Rong people will invade
"What exactly did you, your father's letter, write about?" Xu Yaoning stroked his chest and asked in shock.
No wonder she was so shocked, in fact, now the entire Yuhang County, no, the entire Hangzhou Mansion is shocked.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that perhaps the entire Jiangnan is talking about this matter, and they are all speculating about what Lin Shisheng wrote in the letter to Wei Xu, the Duke of Qiantang, and the Qiantang Mansion and the Wei family room would make such a decision.
Lin Jiaruo thought about it carefully and said tentatively, "Hmm...... Nice words? β
Her father wrote such a long letter that day, so many words, where did she remember the content, and the impression was that the words were very beautiful.
Xu Yaoning stroked his chest, and then stroked his forehead, feeling weak all over his body.
"How beautiful words can change a person's fate?" She almost suspected that Lin Shisheng had done something on the letter.
Three days after Lin Shisheng sent a letter, Wei Tan, the head of the Wei family's room, led his youngest son Wei Qi to the door in person.
To the shock of the entire Yuhang County, Wei Xu, the Duke of Qiantang, also accompanied him to visit the Lin family.
I heard that it was Lin Jiasanlang and the eldest son of the long house who received the Qiantang Duke that day, and the Qiantang Duke was a super duke, and when he saw the Lin Jiazaburo, he bowed his hand and had an unusually modest attitude.
What shocked the entire Hangzhou government even more was that the Wei family came to the door this time, not only to apologize, but also to marry the second daughter of the Lin family, Wei Qigongzi, the youngest son of the Wei family.
Not to mention that the second room of the Lin family has not recovered until now, even Xu Yaoning is still like a dream.
Lin Jiaquan went from the situation of losing his reputation and about to become a green light ancient Buddha, and was instantly pulled to a position that everyone envied.
It is really not an exaggeration to say that Lin Shisheng's letter changed a person's fate.
"But I really don't remember...... If you want to know, just ask your dad! Lin Jiaruo said helplessly.
Xu Jiaoning waved her hand and motioned for Lin Jiaruo to go out.
She needs to be alone and think about life......
Lin Jiaruo walked to the door, and couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Is it okay this time?" β
"It's all right!" Lin Zhizhi said, "A letter is an article, which allows the Wei family to see the strength of the Lin family, and attracts the Wei family to take the initiative to make friends with the Lin family.
He paused, and his eyes were full of admiration: "The third uncle has done this very beautifully, and it is difficult to do it if I change it!" β
It's hard to do, not that it can't be done.
Lin Jiaruo's eyebrows crooked when he heard this, and he nodded again and again, the man in their family is really amazing!
Just kicked out by his mother, his father is studying behind closed doors, it's not good to disturb, Lin Jiaruo is idle and bored, so he came to play with his eldest brother.
Lin Zhizhi seemed to have just received a letter here, and while responding to Lin Jiaruo's words, he opened the letter, unfolded it, his eyes swept up and down, and the smile on his face closed slightly.
"Whose letter?" Lin Jiaruo looked at him with a look of curiosity.
"My father sent it!" Lin Zhizhi put the letter away and said, "There is something going on in the academy, tell me to go back as soon as possible." β
"Are you leaving so soon?" Lin Jiaruo was so disappointed and reluctant.
Lin Zhizhi smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, I will go to Beijing in the spring of the next year to try, this time, I will not be able to see Ah Ruo until the end of the test and when I return to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and Ah Ruo will be ten years old by then!" β
Those who will test the hall will return to their hometowns in fine clothes to comfort their ancestors.
He never doubted that he would miss.
"When are you leaving?" Lin Jiaruo asked.
It has been more than half a month since the ceremony, Gan Minghua had already returned to Jinling with his family, Gan Mingcong also returned to Lushan, and Gan Mingjue was still left in the Lin family.
"In about five days, let's go with Cousin Mingjue!" One of them went to Henan Mansion and the other went to Beijing, but there was also half the way to the same road.
Lin Jiaruo suddenly thought of something and said, "There is something I want to ask my big brother for help!" β
Lin Zhizhi smiled and pinched her face: "What's polite with me!" β
"Gardenia, you know what? It's the one that helped the second brother testify last time! Seeing Lin Zhizhi nodded, Lin Jiaruo continued, "She wants to go to Beijing, and she hasn't found a suitable team to accompany her, so it's better for the eldest brother and Cousin Mingjue to take her!" β
Lin Zhizhi hesitated: "Is she just a girl's family?" Wouldn't it be inappropriate? β
"Suitable! Suitable! Lin Jiaruo hurriedly persuaded, "Gardenia is good-looking and has property, we don't worry about her going on the road alone, and we don't worry about following other people's caravans, it just so happens that the eldest brother and Cousin Mingjue are going north, it's very suitable!" β
Seeing her trusting face, Lin Zhizhi smiled: "Since Ah Ruo looks suitable, it must be suitable!" β
This is to agree, Lin Jiaruo let go of a matter of concern, and pulled Lin Zhizhi to twitter in a brisk mood.
"Gardenia is going to Beijing to find Cousin Zijun, and I don't know if the Shen family's cousin-in-law's body has improved after Dr. Xue went...... Gardenia is really strange, I have to take a pot of magnolia with me, such a big magnolia, I always feel that it will break down halfway......"
Lin Zhizhi always listened to her with a smile on his lips and gentle eyes, but the letter paper in his hand had been unconsciously pinched and wrinkled, and the word "Rong" was occasionally revealed from the gap.
After practicing calligraphy for a while in Pingzhai, and practicing arrows for a while as usual, it was time for dinner before Lin Jiaruo leisurely returned to Jiqiu Courtyard.
Back in Jiqiu Courtyard, the maid outside was setting the meal, Lin Jiaruo looked into the house, and Xu Jiaoning was reading a letter under the window.
His hands were spread, his eyes swept up and down, and his face was slightly condensed.
Lin Jiaruo looked at this scene and looked a little familiar, so she pulled down Lin Jiawei who was hanging on her, stepped forward, and asked, "What letter is my mother reading?" β
Xu Yaoning looked up at her twice, thought about it, and simply handed her the letter.
Lin Jiaruo's current literacy level, it is no problem to read the letter, but she is still a little confused by this letter.
"Who are the Rong people? Will invade the state? Where is Daishou? β
"The Rong people are aliens, herding horses for a living, and the tribesmen are all good at riding and shooting, and they originally lived in the northwest of Ganzhou by chasing water and grass."
"Ten years ago, the Dog Rong tribe among the Rong people produced a powerful leader, this person unified the large and small tribes of the Rong people within three years, and led the clan to migrate from west to east, and even invaded the northwest border of Daliang several times, but was repelled by the Shenwu Marquis who guarded the northwestββ"
"Now there is no Shenwu Hou in the northwest of Daliang, from the northwest of Ganzhou to the north of Daizhou, no one is blocking the footsteps of the Rong people, and the Rong people are ready to move again, and there have been many invasions on the border in the past two years!"
"Daizhou is less than two thousand miles away from the capital, and it has only been three or five days since the fast horse attacked, Zhao Bingyi is fighting with the Shenwu army in the west of Daizhou, and the Rong people deliberately avoided Yan Huai and directly replaced the stateββ"
Xu Jiaoning's eyes were heavy, and his expression was solemn: "After Daizhou, it will be the entire Central Plains!" β
