The Lin family, a large family, plus servants inside and out, has a total of more than 30 people.

But when I went to Huaizhou, it was impossible to take them with me. And Huiyan is far away, and Lin Qingfeng is even ready to be in Yunxian for the rest of his life.

Lin Wangshu and Jiang stood at the stone table in the courtyard, with a stack of silver tickets on it, as well as a few boxes of broken silver and copper coins.

The servants stood in a few rows, not as neat as they had been in the regular lectures, and they were all hiding their faces and crying at the moment, saddened by the sudden misfortune of the Lin family.

"You must have heard of it, and we will leave for Nahuaizhou in a few days."

Jiang stood in front of everyone, the corners of his eyes were moist, and his voice was a little choked. Lin Wangshu was supporting her on the side, and her mood was also a little low.

"It's a long way to Huaizhou, and the place is barren, so I can't take you with me." Jiang pointed to the silver taels on the table, and smiled at everyone.

"I originally wanted to wait until this year's Chinese New Year to send you these coins, but I can't help it, I can't wait for that time, so I have to give it to you now."

The crowd below was full of reluctance, and some whimpered.

"Second lady! The Lin family usually treats me well! I don't want these money, and I hope I can go to Huaizhou with me! ”

"We have been in the Lin family for more than ten years, we all know how to treat us on weekdays, if the Lin family suffers now, we will abandon it like this, it will be a white-eyed wolf!"

"Please take us with you! In that remote place, we can take care of each other with more people. ”

This scene, even Lin Wangshu was a little moved, she lowered her head and thought of Li Iris, and wanted to cry at the moment.

Jiang almost cried when he saw everyone, but the situation in Huaizhou is unknown now, and it is impossible to bring so many people.

"Don't get excited, everyone."

"We are reluctant to do anything, but now we can't change it."

"Wait a minute, each person will come to me to receive a hundred taels of silver, which is a little subsidy from the Lin family for you over the years. You take the money and go back to have a good New Year, and then find a good family to work as an errand after the year. ”

"I'm afraid that the love between our master and servant can only end up here."

Everyone didn't reply for a while, and several mothers-in-law got together to secretly wipe their tears.

This farewell, Lin Wangshu was both reluctant and worried.

———— Dividing Line————

Lee House.

Li Shang took leave today, and since a few days ago, Mrs. Li knew what the third prince thought about the Li family, and she has been depressed for the past few days.

This morning, when the maidservant called her up to wash, she saw that she was not in good condition, and when she looked closely, she found that she was sick.

Li Shang was worried, so he took leave from the court and stayed at home to accompany her today.

At this time, Mrs. Li's spirits were better, and Li Kite and Li Shangzheng coaxed her to drink tonic.

Li Kite didn't know the reason, but it was the cold that caused Mrs. Li to get sick.

"Auntie, you are obedient, the last bowl, this is really the last bowl." Li Kite blew on the medicine and gestured to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter so sensible, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. She looked up and saw Li Shang winking at him, secretly restraining the emotions just now in her heart.

"Give it to me, my mother will drink it herself." Mrs. Lee smiled at her.

"That's not going to work, I'll have to watch you finish it." Li Yuan picked up a spoon and scooped a tablespoon and brought it to Mrs. Li's lips, "Come, Auntie, I'll feed you." ”

Mrs. Li's face flushed when she was amused, and she pointed to Li Kite's forehead, "My mother is an adult, and she is not a child." ”

"That mother should drink it quickly, but she can't be afraid of the bitterness of medicine like a child."

Mrs. Li opened her mouth and drank all the potions handed over.

This peace was suddenly broken, and the butler stumbled over and said in a panic to the three of them: "Master, it's not good, it's not good!" ”

"Why are you so flustered? Didn't you see that Madame was drinking medicine? Li Shang was a little surprised, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion has always been calm and calm, and he has never lost his sense of proportion like now.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Steward Li slowed down, his hand propped up on the door frame and gasped, and it took a long time to say a complete sentence intermittently.

"Narin...... Lin Jia......"

"What's wrong with the Lin family? Someone came to our house? ”

"It's not! It's ......"

"It's the Lin family who is going to be demoted to Huaizhou!"

The three of them were stunned when they heard this.

Li Yuan's hand that was still scooping the decoction just now instantly paused, and he looked at Steward Li in shock with Mrs. Li.

Li Shang was even more shocked, he just didn't go to the court today, why was Lin Qingfeng demoted?

"What happened, you can tell me about it quickly."

"I don't know the specific minions, but I heard that Lord Lin provoked the anger of the saints in the court, and the hundred officials pleaded for mercy and did not take back their lives. The father-in-law in the palace had already gone to the Lin family to announce the decree. ”

Li Shang was very anxious, he didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly ordered the housekeeper: "You hurry up and prepare the horse, I'll go to the Lin family to take a look." ”

"I'll go."

"Wait." The butler was about to turn around when he was stopped again.

Mrs. Li held Li Kite's hand and said to Li Shang: "General, I will go with Ah Kite." ”

Li Shang nodded without thinking.

"The old slave hurried to prepare the carriage."

The three of them hurriedly cleaned up, then got into the carriage and rushed towards the Lin family.

Lin Qingfeng was originally packing up the things in the study, but when he heard that the Li family had come, he hurriedly asked people to take them to the front hall.

Lin Wangshu was thinking about finding a time to find Li Kite before, but now he wants to cry when he sees her.

"Ah Kite, you have always been the closest to your sister Wangshu, and there must be a lot to talk about today, you go and talk." Mrs. Li stroked Li Kite's hair.

Lin Wangshu nodded, held back his tears and took Li Yuan's hand, and went back to the courtyard where he lived.

Seeing the two children go out, the two families sat in the house and began to talk about business.

Li Shang's face was anxious, and he asked Lin Qingfeng, "Brother Lin, what happened?" How could the Holy One let your whole family go to the land of Huaizhou? ”

Lin Qingfeng sighed, "Hey, this matter is a long story. ”

"So you'll make a long story short, what the hell is going on?"

Lin Qingfeng picked and chose and said the key content.

"How can such a thing happen?" Li Shang was emotional, and slammed his fist on the table beside him, shaking the teacup with a loud bang.

"What's wrong with you? I think the Holy One is getting more and more confused! ”

In the past, Lin Qingfeng said this kind of thing most often, but now that he heard it from Li Shang's mouth, he couldn't help but be a little shocked. "Brother Li said carefully! Now the Lin family is going to Huaizhou in the near future, and they have no scruples. ”

"But your Li family is different, the general holds the power of the army, and some people heard these words just now, I am afraid that they will be charged with rebellion."

Li Shang only felt that his heart was in a panic, so many people in Chaozhou who were eating and waiting for death were not devalued, and those who came up with random ideas were not devalued, but they actually degraded a gentleman who was conscientious and dedicated to the country.

"It's that I lost my words just now, it's just that Huaizhou is a place of suffering, a few years ago, I marched and fought and had a very difficult life, you family, how could this little body stand it in the past?"

Lin Qingfeng smiled self-deprecatingly, "Thank you Brother Li for being so concerned, we are ready to go to Huaizhou, no matter how hard the days are, such a barren place, I will definitely save them from fire and water." ”

"Brother Lin is so open-minded, Li admires!" Li Shang was full of emotion, but he had to accept such a reality.

Mrs. Li hid her face and coughed, but stopped talking.

Seeing that her face was not very good, the Jiang family said with concern: "What's wrong with the sister of the Li family?" I haven't seen you for a few days, how can I see your face so bad? ”

Mrs. Li showed a pale smile and shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm sorry to worry you." ”
