Chapter 52: Responsible for the Eldest Lady!
"You say!"
Facing the uncle in front of him and the future father-in-law, Lin Yu was naturally patient.
"In the future, your second son, can you give him the surname Lin?"
Lin Mao said seriously.
"Oh?"
Lin Yu's eyes narrowed.
"What? Don't you want to? Yu'er, I know this request is a bit abrupt. But the reason why I proposed it is also so that the Lin family can continue the incense in the future. Back then, because of your father's affairs, the men of the Lin family almost died except for me, if it wasn't for my overseas mission, I'm afraid even I wouldn't be spared. ”
Lin Mao said with a sad look.
"Is it possible......" Lin Yu licked his lips and hesitated for a moment. I mean, maybe, if I don't change my surname back to Li, I'll just change my surname to Lin, okay? ”
"Huh?"
Lin Mao was stunned for a moment.
Lin Yu had his own ideas.
In modern times, when he was five years old, his parents died in a car accident, and he had no other relatives such as grandparents, so he had to enter an orphanage and be raised by the state.
But even at the age of five, he had already identified himself as the heir of the Lin family in his heart.
Although he came to this world, he is the son of Li Rusong, the prince of Fuguo, but after all, his soul is Lin Yu of the Lin family who has crossed over from modern times, and if he changes his surname, he will still be a little difficult to accept in his heart.
"Don't change your surname? Why? Yu'er, don't you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors? ”
Lin Mao was surprised.
"Uncle, you have sacrificed so much for my Li family, and you want to marry my most beloved daughter, originally my surname at this time was passed down from the Lin family, if I change my surname in the future, this is a great disrespect to the living! I still failed to save your dedication to my Li family! ”
"Feather ......"
Hearing what Lin Yu said, Lin Mao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were red and full of excitement.
Lin Yu continued: "That's it! Since I have lived with the name Lin Yu for so many years, I will still use this name for the rest of my life, as for the enmity between my Li family and the emperor, I will repay it in my own way, not to mention, the old emperor or the people around him may still be chasing and killing me now, I will never let him have a good time! ”
"Of course, if my heirs are prosperous in the future, it is okay to choose a few of them to change to the surname Li, but in order to repay your uncle for your dedication to me, I will not change my surname myself. One day surnamed Lin, lifetime surname Lin! ”
Saying that, Lin Yu stood up slowly, and with a solemn expression, he made a respectful gesture towards the other party, which directly moved Lin Mao to tears.
"Good...... Yu'er, you have a heart, you really have a heart......"
"Yu'er, from now on, I Lin Mao will be your dependence, if you want to do anything, I will fully support you!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
Lin Yu smiled.
"That's right."
Lin Yu seemed to think of something, and asked, "Uncle, can you accompany me to meet my mother's old maid tomorrow?" I want to know what kind of person my mother is, and I want to know what happened back then! ”
"This ......"
"What? Isn't that old maid in Jinling? ”
"Yes, but not in the mansion, I arranged her in a nunnery outside Jinling City, do you really want to see her? Or a different day? ”
Although Lin Mao said this, there was a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Could it be that Uncle is inconvenient for you?"
Lin Yu asked.
Lin Mao said embarrassedly: "Yu'er, I am a person in the officialdom, and sometimes I can't help myself. Tomorrow, Xu Dezhao, the governor of Jiangnan Province, will convene a gathering of the main officials of the entire province, and it is said that there is something important to announce, which is quite urgent. I have to go as the governor of Jinling, the provincial capital, and I'm afraid it will take a day to see her, so why don't I accompany you to see her the day after tomorrow?"
"It's okay." Lin Yu said with a smile. "Uncle, then you just need to give me a token, listen to your words, although that old maid is a little crazy, but most of the time it should be quite normal, right? You tell me the address, I'll see her by myself, it just so happens that tomorrow I have to accompany Ning'er to rent a yard in Jiming Temple! After that, I still have to inquire, how to get admitted to Jiming Academy? ”
"The method you said is okay, but have you really decided to go to Jiming Academy? As for Ning'er's matter, you don't have to take it seriously. ”
Lin Mao was puzzled.
"I must go to the academy, there are a lot of talented people in Jiming Academy, and I am already weak now, and it is the time when I need to expand my strength and recruit talents. After all, in such a situation, you can't help me openly, uncle, right? ”
"As for renting a yard for Ning'er, although Ning'er is still just a little girl, since I promised her, I have to do it, otherwise, wouldn't I lose my trust in her? How can she follow me wholeheartedly in the future? ”
Lin Yu looked directly at the other party and said seriously, his face without the previous joke.
"Okay, just do what you say!"
Lin Mao gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, smashed his fist on the stone table, and said coldly: "The emperor has a grudge against my Lin and Li families, back then, he listened to slander, did not distinguish the facts, not only killed more than 100,000 border soldiers, but also killed more than 100,000 people in the capital and various places, more than 1,000 people died because of the incident of the auxiliary prince, it was a bloody tragedy, this matter...... There has to be an explanation! ”
……
Night.
Lin Yu found Zhang Debiao in the guest room.
It's just that Zhang Debiao seems to be too tired at this time and is lying on the bed.
When he saw Lin Yu appear, he hurriedly got up and got dressed, and arched his hand towards Lin Yu.
"Lao Zhang!"
Seeing the other party, Lin Yu was very inexplicable: "Why are you going?" Didn't my uncle let you go eat at noon? As a result, I didn't see you all afternoon and evening, if it wasn't for the housekeeper informing me that you were back, I thought you wouldn't have come to the Qinglou to play! ”
"You...... How do you know? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of Lao Zhang's mouth twitched, and his face was surprised.
"Huh?"
Lin Yu was even more dumbfounded, and after being stunned for a moment, he pointed at him, and said with a wry smile: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, you really know how to play, you just run into the Qinglou after a lot of effort, are you addicted?" Is the girl in the kiln in the Qinglou so beautiful? ”
"No, I didn't go by myself." Lao Zhang's hand is filial.
"That's?"
"Lord Lin gave me twenty taels of silver and asked me to go to the Qinglou to play, I've been playing for a day, and I'm too tired to do it, but it's really not my own going."
"Uh......"
Hearing Lao Zhang's explanation, the corners of Lin Yu's mouth twitched, he didn't expect his uncle to entertain Lao Zhang in such a way.
"Didn't lie to me?"
Lin Yu still didn't believe it.
Lao Zhang hurriedly stretched out his right hand and swore an oath: "Liar? Don't you dare to talk nonsense! Mr. Lin, you have a life-saving grace for me, although I can't serve you with all my strength for the time being, but I definitely don't lie to what you said, I swear by Lao Zhang's happiness in the future! ”
"Okay, okay!"
Lin Yu shook his head speechlessly.
Strange thing.
Uncle looks like a decent man, even if he directly gives Lao Zhang twenty taels of silver, how can he send his subordinates to the Qinglou to play.
However, this was not what Lin Yu needed to care about, so he didn't think much about it, and then took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Lao Zhang.
"What is this?"
Lao Zhang looked at the envelope and wondered.
"The eldest lady has been almost better in the past two days, and the medicine I prescribed to her before doesn't need to be taken again. The prescription I'm prescribing now is for her daily conditioning of her body, anyway, it's nothing, you can help me send it back quickly! ”
"Yes."
Hearing this, Lao Zhang arched his hand without the slightest hesitation.
But when he put the letter away, he raised his head and asked worriedly: "Mr. Lin, then you are alone in Jinling, if you are remembered by others...... Isn't it dangerous? Anyway, the eldest lady's illness is almost better, and when you finish your work in the next two days, we will go back together then. ”
"No, you don't!" Lin Yu said with a smile. "My uncle is the fourth rank of this Jinling, and I am also half of the Yanei, he can still speak in this Jinling. I am the doctor of Chen's house, and I am responsible for the eldest lady's body, even if she is well, but the recuperation of the body is also extremely important, and you can't stop the medicine, you can go as soon as possible tomorrow morning according to what I said. If you're worried, just send the letter and come back, anyway, one day is enough! ”
"Okay!"
Lao Zhang smiled and nodded towards Lin Yu.
After instructing Lao Zhang, Lin Yu went back to the room arranged for him by his aunt.
This room is the side wing of the courtyard where Lin Mao is located.
The house was very clean, and the bed was very soft, Lin Yu lay down on the bed and took a deep breath, in addition to the mature femininity of his aunt wafting in the air, there was more of a sense of home.
"It's been a long time...... I don't feel that way anymore......"
Lin Yu muttered.
Thinking of what had happened since the crossing, Lin Yu was very emotional, and finally fell asleep on the soft bed.
However.
Not long after he slept, he was awakened again by a nightmare.
