Lin Yueying and the others left the lotus pond and returned home, but before they arrived at the door, they saw two burly men standing at the door.

"Who are they?"

Lin Yueying asked curiously.

The bell came to Lin Yueying's side, looked at the door of the Lin mansion, and replied, "Miss, that is the subordinate of the military general I just mentioned to you." ”

Lin Yueying looked at the two of them, wrapped in plain clothes, with a little dust sticking to their boots, and a big knife hanging on their waists, guarding the door one left and one right.

"Am I going back to my own house this time?"

Lin Yueying quipped.

The bell said: "Look at what Miss said, this is not Miss's home, can it be someone else's?" ”

As he spoke, the bell led Lin Yueying to his home.

The two people standing at the door looked at Lin Yueying, who was brought back by the bell, and looked at her curiously. When Lin Yueying entered in front of them, she didn't forget to call "Miss." ”

When Lin Yueying saw them calling herself, she didn't panic, nodded and went in.

The two of them walked through the front yard and came to the hall, where they saw Lin Jinzhuo talking to a military general sitting in the guest seat.

Lin Yueying slowly entered the hall, slowly came to Lin Jinzhuo, bowed in a proper manner, and said softly: "I don't know what happened to Daddy calling Yueying?" ”

Lin Jinzhuo looked at Lin Yueying, who was well-behaved in front of him, and couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't care about her, he introduced her to the military general, and said, "This is General Wang Geng, the general under your aunt's account." ”

After Lin Jinzhuo finished speaking, Lin introduced Yueying to Wang Geng and said, "General Wang Geng, this is a little girl, Yueying." ”

When Lin Yueying saw that it was a general, she curtsied at him, but the general looked at Lin Yueying with a stunned gaze, which made Lin Yueying a little unhappy, and also made Lin Jinzhuo a little unhappy.

Wang Geng saw that the Lin father and daughter were displeased, and hurriedly bowed his hand and respectfully returned to Lin Yueying: "The girl is really beautiful like an immortal, so that the lowly position can't take her eyes off, it is the lowly position that is presumptuous, and please don't be surprised by the girl." ”

Lin Yueying looked at Wang Geng, who was respectful and respectful in front of him, although he was displeased, but after all, he also apologized so sincerely, if he didn't forgive him, he would seem to be small-bellied, so he said: "The general said that he was laughing, Yueying is a country girl, but she can't afford to say that she is an immortal." ”

"The girl is modest, isn't she?"

Lin Jinzhuo looked at Wang Geng, although he was a military general, he spoke satisfactorily, and couldn't help but admire Chu Qingyun for being able to bring out such a person.

Wang Geng bowed his hand to Lin Jinzhuo and said, "Since the young lady is back, Wang Geng will not bother." ”

Lin Jinzhuo saw that Wang Geng was leaving, so he hurriedly kept him and said, "The general is not in a hurry, the general is coming, stay and eat a bowl of light rice!" ”

"Nope."

Wang Geng excused himself and said: "The last general is a rough person, so I won't bother the adults and young ladies, and the last general will leave." ”

After Wang Geng finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

At the dinner table, Lin Yueying looked at Lin Jinzhuo holding the bowl, but she didn't know what she was thinking and was distracted, so she asked, "What does Daddy think?" ”

"Huh? Oh......"

Lin Jinzhuo didn't know how to explain to Lin Yueying for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Isn't this a summoning order, for my father, I want to sell the house and the land." ”

Lin Yueying Lin Jinzhuo said this, stretched out the hand to pick up the vegetables and took it back, and hurriedly asked: "Daddy, isn't it enough to go to the imperial capital?" Do you want to sell your house and land? ”

Lin Jinzhuo put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "This time it is a long way to go to the imperial capital, and it is more than enough to sell the fields......

"That's not it!"

Lin Yueying interrupted: "Besides, don't we have a house in the emperor, so we don't need to sell the ancestral house!" ”

"But my father doesn't want to leave a way back for himself!"

Lin Jinzhuo's sudden low roar startled Lin Yueying, after all, she grew so big, Lin Jinzhuo had never yelled at herself like this, she could only put down the dishes and chopsticks, lowered her head and listened carefully to what Lin Jinzhuo was going to say next.

Lin Jinzhuo saw that he was scared of Lin Yueying, he was ashamed, eased up, and said to Lin Yueying seriously: "Yuelang is about to finish his studies this year, if he goes well at the end of the year, he will return to the imperial capital to participate in the imperial examination, if he knows that you and I have returned to the imperial capital, with his temperament, no matter whether he can be admitted or not, he will definitely stay in the imperial capital at that time." ”

Lin Jinzhuo clenched the chopsticks in his hand and continued: "As a father, you must gain a firm foothold in the imperial capital, so that you can protect Yuelang and protect you." Besides, if you don't come back for a while anyway, instead of collecting rent, it's better to sell it all in one go, so that you can buy a dowry. ”

Lin Yueying heard Lin Jinzhuo say so much, but it was all because of Yuelang, although she was a little displeased, but when she heard Lin Jinzhuo mention her dowry, she didn't pursue it, and hurriedly turned her face away, a little shy: "Look at what my father said, I was talking about selling the house, how did I talk about the dowry?" This uncle didn't even show up! ”

Lin Jinzhuo couldn't help laughing when he looked at Yueying's red ears, but after a while, the smile on his face disappeared again......

A few days later.

In the house, Lin Jinzhuo was looking intently at the portrait left by Luo Jinyao before his death, but was disturbed by Lin Liang who came in from outside the house. He gently put the portrait away, placed it in a box made of sandalwood, and asked, "Something?" ”

Seeing Lin Jinzhuo calling himself, Lin Liang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, the fields have been sold, it is the house, there are few people who ask, and there are even fewer people who have sold." ”

Lin Jinzhuo looked at the unevenly painted pillars, and the slightly painted furniture, and then at the moss on the courtyard wall, frowned, and said far-fetchedly: "Let's take a look, if no one asks before leaving, forget it." ”

Lin Liang saw that Lin Jinzhuo said this, and he couldn't say anything, so he said again: "By the way, master, General Wang is here, and if you want to see you, I will bring him with me." ”

"Really?"

Lin Jinzhuo said, "Then you let him in." ”

Lin Liang answered, then turned to the door and invited Wang Geng in.

Wang Geng saw that Lin Jinzhuo asked Lin Liang to come out and invite him, so he couldn't wait to enter the house. As soon as he entered the house, he hurriedly asked Lin Jinzhuo why he wanted to sell his house and land, and said that if he was short of money, he would just say that with him along the way, Wang Geng would definitely not let the Lin family suffer cold and starve.

Wang Geng is a general under Chu Sheng's account, Lin Jinzhuo knows that he will not let himself be cold and hungry, but Lin Jinzhuo doesn't want to explain too much to him, and said perfunctorily: "This road is far away, General Wang can protect my Lin family is enough to trouble General Wang, and the cost of this road must not trouble General Wang anymore." ”

"But ......"

Wang Geng was about to continue the persuasion when he heard Luo Sha's voice outside the door.

Lin Jinzhuo let her in and asked her what was the matter. Wang Geng saw that Lin Jinzhuo had to deal with things, and he couldn't interrupt, so he found a chair and sat down, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself, and drank it himself.

Luo Sha said: "Liu Yuan came from outside and wanted to see the house. ”

"Really?"

Lin Jinzhuo was overjoyed: "Just now Lin Liang said that no one wanted it." ”

Lin Jinzhuo said that he was going to see Liu Yuanwai, and just after walking two steps, he remembered that Wang Geng was still there, and hurriedly apologized: "I forgot General Wang." ”

Lin Jinzhuo turned around and looked at Wang Geng.

Wang Geng saw that he couldn't let Lin Hai Jinzhuo change his mind, so he couldn't stop it, put down the teacup, got up and said, "Since Lord Lin has decided, the last general won't say much." In this way, the last general will accompany the adults, and the adults will not be deceived by others. ”

Lin Jinzhuo heard Wang Geng say this, smiled without saying a word, and led him to the front hall......

A few more days passed.

In front of the gate of the Lin Mansion, everyone was loading large and small objects into the carriage, but before they could see Lin Jinzhuo come out, Lin Yueying went to find him by herself.

On Lin Jinzhuo's bookcase, there is an unfolded bag and an unclosed picture box.

Lin Jinzhuo, behind the bookcase, saved a wad of money in his hand, put it in the bag for a while, and then took it out of the bag and stuffed it into the painting box. But when the wad of money was put in the painting box, the painting could not be put in, so he could only take out the painting and then take out the money in the box.

Lin Yueying looked at Lin Jinzhuo who was hiding her baby like a child, couldn't help laughing, walked to Lin Jinzhuo's side, and asked, "Daddy, what is this doing?" ”

When Lin Jinzhuo saw Lin Yueying coming, he put down the money in his hand and sat on the chair, with a trace of embarrassment on his face: "Isn't this going to rush with so much money, because my father doesn't know where to put it." ”

Lin Yueying looked at the things on the table, picked up the pile of money, and gently spread out the painting and said: "Of course, so much money is for my mother to keep it, no matter what happens, my father will not give up my mother, right?" ”

Lin Yueying said, took off the shaft caps on the painting scroll one by one, rolled up the money separately and stuffed it into the painting scroll, then covered the shaft caps one by one, and gently rolled the paintings, put them in the painting box, and closed the lid.

Lin Jinzhuo was a little embarrassed when she heard Lin Yueying say this, and said with a smile: "You girl, you love to make fun of your father." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, packed up their things and went out.

When the two arrived at the front yard, Lin Jinzhuo stopped, turned to look at the yard where he and his two children frolicked in the past, and felt reluctant.

Lin Yueying saw Lin Jinzhuo's thoughts, came to him and called softly: "Daddy." ”

Lin Jinzhuo came back to his senses and led Lin Yueying out of the door.

Lin Yueying and his party met Wang Geng in front of an inn, as well as the eunuch who was uncomfortable looking at anything.

In the carriage, the bell lifted the curtains, looked at the soldiers around the carriage, and said to Yueying worriedly: "Miss, the reinstatement of the old man is only a promotion, and now it is so eye-catching, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." ”

Lin Yueying turned her head to look at the soldiers outside the window, and did not hide the joy in her heart at all: "Isn't this good!" ”

"Really?"

Bell asked questioningly.

The reason why Lin Yueying said this was because she could see from these soldiers who were protecting her that the Chu Mansion, and even the Yin State Mansion, had not forgotten their family so far, and the reason why she was so happy was not just because of this.

Luo Sha, who was sitting next to the bell, gently took the bell's hand and held it, patted the back of her hand again, and said, "There are some things that I didn't need to tell you before, but now it seems necessary to tell you." ”

Bell turned her head to look at Luo Sha.

Luo Sha continued: "Our master is the third aunt of the Duke of Yin, you know this. And Lord Chu Qingyun, who sent General Wang, is the eldest sister-in-law of the young lady and the eldest aunt of the Duke of the Yin Kingdom. Our lady has a good relationship with Mrs. Chu, before marrying the master, she bought a house opposite them without telling the master, and the lady lied to the master that it was rented, but it was exposed within two months, but at that time, the lady was already pregnant, and the master did not pursue it so and continued to live. The two families also sat together to eat from time to time, and the children of the two families, namely the young lady and the son, as well as the two sons of the Chu family, ran between the two families, and the janitors of the two families did not stop them. You say, with the relationship between the two families, Lord Chu sent someone to protect him, what does it matter? ”

"Oh."

The bell seemed to answer with understanding.

The group left Linxian in a mighty way, and spent the night in a ruined temple at night, with the female dependents on one side and the male dependents on the other, separated by a cloth in the middle.

Lin Jinzhuo on the side was also out of sight, and asked Wang Geng and the eunuch to sit by the fire with him.

Wang Geng was originally to escort Lin Jinzhuo, and he would not refuse. And the eunuch, though he was also sitting by the fire, was far away from them.

The bell on the other side was bending around and rummaging in a basket.

Lin Yueying took a cup of tea from Luo Sha's hand, couldn't help but be curious, and asked Luo Sha, "What is she doing?" ”

Luo Sha picked up a piece of firewood, stirred up the burning firewood, and said, "When she left, didn't there be some people who gave some things, she must have been looking for something to eat!" ”

Lin Yueying heard Luo Sha say this, looking at the rummaging bell, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. It took a while for the bell to bring a basket, put it on the ground, and said, "Miss, among the things that everyone has sent, I have divided the things that are eaten and used, and those that can be stored for a long time and those that cannot be kept for a long time." ”

The bell patted the basket and continued, "These can't be left for long, so eat these first." ”

Lin Yueying took out a random baked cake from the basket, praised the bell and said, "You are quite good at this!" ”

As he spoke, he motioned to Luo Sha and took the food in the basket to Lin Jinzhuo. After Luo Sha comprehended it, he divided the food from the basket into two parts, one for keeping, and one for Lin Jinzhuo.

Hearing Lin Yueying praise herself like this, the bell responded without shyness, saying, "That's a must." The lord has official business, the son has to study, and the burden of being in charge of the house falls on the young lady, so the bell also has to learn to manage things in order to share the worries of the young lady! ”

Lin Yueying looked at the bell's serious face, very pleased, so she broke off the baked cake in her hand and handed it to her, saying, "Then it's up to you from now on." ”

Seeing that Lin Yueying attached so much importance to herself, the bell glowed in her innocent pupils, and nodded seriously: "Miss, don't worry about handing it over to the bell!" ”

Horse-drawn carriages run wide avenues, towering trees soaring into the sky.

Wang Geng, who was leading the team in front, looked around, the road was wide, the trees were dense, and the birds were singing in the places he had walked before, but there was no call here.

Wang Geng motioned for the convoy to stop, and asked the two soldiers beside him to go to both sides to investigate, and the two of them went to check on both sides.

The soldier on the right used the sword in his hand to flick the grass, but he didn't notice anything unusual. Just about to come back, he heard a scream behind him. When the little soldier was about to turn around and rush back, he was attacked by the mountain bandits hiding behind him, but fortunately, he followed Wang Geng for a long time, lifted the sword that had not yet been sheathed, turned around and flicked it, and slashed down the mountain bandit who was about to sneak attack him with a sword. But there were still several accomplices hidden behind the mountain bandits, and the little soldier knew that he had just been careless, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and hurriedly retreated to the side of the carriage.

Wang Geng watched the screaming soldier fall to the ground, and realized that he had been ambushed, so he signaled his soldiers to protect half of the carriage and half to deal with the mountain bandits.

Lin Jinzhuo was about to lift the curtain when he heard the screams, but Lin Liang hurriedly stopped him: "Master, no, I don't know where they are coming now, it's better not to move." Besides, isn't there a general Wang, and he has a lot of people with him, so let's not make trouble for him. ”

At this time, Lin Jinzhuo was anxious, but what Lin Liang said was not unreasonable, but he was still not at ease, so he turned around and went to lift the curtain behind him. Lin Liang wanted to stop him again, but Lin Jinzhuo had his back to him, and he couldn't reach it, so he could only let him go.

Lin Jinzhuo looked at the carriage where Yueying was from the window at the back of the carriage, the curtain was closed, and the soldiers around the carriage were tense one by one.

Lin Jinzhuo put down the curtains, but he was still not at ease, but he couldn't lift a sword as a scholar, so he could only sit in the carriage and be anxious.

The sound of clanging swords colliding outside scared Luo Sha and Bell a lot, and both of them leaned closely on Lin Yueying.

At this time, Lin Yueying was short of breath and stared at the car curtain, she didn't know who would be the one who would lift the curtain later.

In the shadows, a burly man, pulling a full moon longbow, wandered between two carriages, he wasn't sure which carriage his target would be, so he had to wait. But he ignored the difference in strength between the mountain bandits and Wang Geng and others, he hadn't found the target yet, and the mountain bandits had already been beaten down by Wang Geng and others. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had to put down the longbow that had been drawn to the full moon.

The mountain bandits who were still alive were all tied up, already dead, and pulled aside.

Wang Geng walked back and forth in front of the mountain bandits who were tied up, looking at the mountain bandits who were wailing because of their injuries, and his face was full of disdain: "You don't go to inquire about who my Wang Geng is, so you will come to rob my Wang Geng's way." Although my Wang Geng is not as good as the overlord, I can occupy a city with 500 people, but my Wang Geng also fought bloodily, and you mountain bandits want to snatch people from me, joke! ”

When the mountain bandit leader heard Wang Geng say this, he was so angry that he spat out: "Phew, we didn't expect you to be on the battlefield, the person who let us come only said that you are only a number of people in the ya, and it is easy to kill someone from your hands." ”

Wang Geng heard that there was someone behind him, so he hurriedly squatted down and asked, "Who is that person?" ”

"He's got a guilty ...... on his face."

As the mountain bandit was talking, Wang Geng noticed a murderous aura behind him and came quickly. He hurriedly dodged, only to see an arrow flying in front of his eyes, hitting the head of the mountain bandit.

The sudden scene frightened everyone, and the soldiers who had originally scattered in all directions hurriedly surrounded the carriage as the center.

Wang Geng hurriedly asked the soldiers beside him to follow, and kicked back the mountain bandits who wanted to escape one by one.

After a while, the soldier who had been sent to chase the man came out, saying that the man was too fast to catch up.

Wang Geng looked at the direction where the man was going, frowned, and clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand......
