Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 131 The Conversation
Haining River Beach, it’s not that the dark night has never been here before, a person like her has never been in some place, Haining River Beach, in her impression, is a mass grave, because every time she passes by, she can always see corpses, wild Half of the corpse bitten by the dog, all you can see is the face without food and the wilderness with no hope.

But today, what did she see?
I saw a straight and wide river embankment avenue, flat and strong, my God, how could it be like this?
"Sister Chen, here... is this really a river beach?"

Sister Chen smiled: "Many people come here and think they are in the wrong place. Take a look at this road. Is it better than the official road?"

"That's right, it's better than the official roads in the capital. It's all paved with stones, which is too extravagant. Could it be that there is a royal manor in front of it?"

"It's not stone! It's called cement! Look at the embankment for forty miles, it's all made of cement, harder than stone..."

Sister Chen acted as a guide, pulling An Ye to run all the way forward. An Ye, who is so well-informed, felt his heart skip a beat.

She stepped on the edge lightly. Although it was only a light foot, ordinary stones would be crushed, but the cement road was not damaged at all, which shows how strong it is.

How strong is this kind of cement to form a river embankment?This alone is a great achievement, and the river embankment may really bid farewell to the tragic scene of collapse every year...

"Look over there, that's the house of the refugees, isn't it different from the refugees elsewhere?"

An Ye raised his eyes and saw the newly built house on the side of the road. He was shocked: "Is this a home for refugees?"

Using stone... No, she just found out that this is cement, a house made of cement and bricks, with a small flat courtyard outside, and the roof is actually made of cement. This kind of house is the first thing she feels when she sees it It's just... Who would have thought that a small courtyard built by a rich landlord or an official in the city would actually be a home for refugees?
Arriving next to the small courtyard, An Ye discovered a new mystery, that is, the bricks used to make the house. These bricks are obviously not green bricks, but compared with green bricks, their hardness is not bad at all. This is what Lin Su once told her, cement and gray brick...

At the end of the wide road, there are three huge factories, people come and go, it is very lively, and everyone is full of energy.

An Ye's eyes flickered: "He did all this?"

"Yes!" Sister Chen hugged her shoulders: "People all over the world say that he is the reincarnation of Wenquxing, and they only see his peerless literary talent. Who would know that his greatest ability is to change the world."

A voice came from behind: "No! My greatest skill is to tease... women."

A pair of warm arms held the two women in their arms at the same time.

Sister Chen blushed: "Do you recognize it?"

An Ye glanced at her: "It seems that I should admit it, but why do I want to beat him a little bit?"

"Hey, I pretended I didn't see it..."

Returning to the Lin Mansion, the dark night disappeared.

She has lived in the Lin Mansion for several months. She used to live in the attic, but now?Now her first choice is the attic, she is not used to those girls and maids looking at her as the mistress.

After entering Lin's house, she was slightly startled. The Lin's attic was gone, but there was a phantom attic, and there were people in the attic!
who?An Ye's figure flickered, and she reached the roof of the building without a sound, and a woman as beautiful as a fairy walked out of the illusory attic in front of her.

"It's you?" Qiu Shui Huaping stared at her.

"It's you?" An Ye also recognized her.

They met and got acquainted that day when the water bandits slaughtered the city, and now they meet again.

"You broke through!" An Ye said.

"You have also made a breakthrough!" Qiu Shui Huaping said, "You used to live in this attic. Now that you are back, should I go?"

"No need!" An Ye said, "I'll find another place."

"Live in his room?" Qiu Shui Huaping smiled lightly.

"He is so beautiful!" An Ye said, "I live there."

She pointed lightly with her hand, pointing to a building next to the west courtyard.

That was the Osmanthus Hall in the Hou Mansion. The so-called Osmanthus Hall was a place to enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus in autumn. Whenever the distinguished guests came to the door, they were often accompanied by Lord Hou to climb the tower to enjoy the osmanthus. Now the Hou Mansion is dilapidated, no more distinguished guests come to the door, and this place is also deserted. , It has not been opened for more than half a year.

"My place used to be a painting building, and yours is Guitang..." Qiushui Huaping said: "I really echoed his poem, the stars last night, the wind last night, the west side of the painting building and the east of Guitang!"

"I don't have a colorful phoenix or two flying wings, but I have a clear heart!" An Ye took it over: "I understand what you mean, do you need me to help you pierce this layer of window paper?"

ah?Qiu Shui Huaping's eyes widened: "What did you understand? Don't talk nonsense..."

An Ye chuckled and disappeared. The next moment, a layer of dust rolled up from Guitang to the sky, and she settled down in Guitang.

Qiushui Huaping's infinitely peaceful state of mind was suddenly disturbed, the conscience of heaven and earth, she really just expressed her feelings and just read two lines of poems, why did you think of it?Still pick it out?If you dare to talk nonsense, I will fight with you...

Lin Su knew nothing about the meeting of high-level people.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Yao jumped over: "Young master, do you bring me something to eat..."

Before she finished speaking, Xiaoxue held her mouth directly, and bowed: "Young master, madam, please go over."

He dragged Xiaoyao into his arms and led Lin Su to Madam.

"Sanlang, you scared my mother quite a bit during this trip, so don't be so reckless in the future."

"Mother, you underestimate me too much. I am Wu Ji, and my martial arts cultivation level is higher than that of my elder brother! What are you afraid of when you travel to the rivers and lakes? Let me tell you, I made you a lot of money by walking this trip." Qian... Mother, do you have any new... plans to benefit the world?"

Xiaoxue next to her smiled, her eyebrows curled.

The mother slapped Lin Su's forehead with a chestnut: "You child, how much money did your mother lose to you? You can't forget it... Okay, let's talk about other things, where is the woman you are looking for?"

Lin Su blinked: "I don't know! She is a martial artist, who knows where she is?"

Mother caressed her forehead: "Then...do you want to hold a ceremony and take her in?"

"I don't need this for now, anyway, she doesn't care about this ceremony."

Either way, listen to you!Madam paused for a while: "Sanlang, there is something that needs your advice..."

Mother said something else.

About his second brother Lin Jialiang.

Didn't the second brother talk about marriage?The fourth lady of the Qu family in the capital, after the accident in the Hou's mansion, the Qu family also sent people over to temporarily suspend the ceremony after the marriage.

But yesterday, the Qu family sent people to the door, saying that the marriage can continue, you see... can it be done?

Lin Su was slightly taken aback: "What about the second brother and sister Yulou's opinion?"

"Yulou is still reasonable. She is focused on promoting this marriage. She even said that if Ms. Qu comes in, she can really be your second brother's concubine. I think you are more accurate in this kind of thing, so you will The people from the Qu family are temporarily settled in the Haining Building, and they have not made a clear statement, they just want to hear your opinion."

Look, this is the direct impact of Lin Su's control of the overall situation several times.

His mother even let him make up his mind about his second brother's lifelong affairs.

Lin Su hesitated for a moment, I need to understand the situation clearly before speaking.

"Who do you ask for information? The Qu family butler? Or, you go to see him directly?"

"That's unnecessary, I'd better go see the prefect Yang, he must know the situation of the Qu family."

In a word, my mother's heart suddenly brightened.

Yeah, why is she hesitating?She was just worried that the Qu family and the Zhang family were in the same group. With the current status of the Lin family, a pair of heroes, and a rich man who is making money every day, she no longer needs to rely on any nepotism, but she can't be with the Zhang family. People from one faction have a deeper relationship. If the Qu family is the running dog of the Zhang family, wouldn’t such a nod ruin the reputation of Saburo Erlang?——The world will definitely say that the Lin family finally bowed to the Zhang family.

It's still that Saburo has a good mind. Others don't know the situation of the Qu family. Yang Zhifu is a member of the officialdom, so of course he will understand, and he will definitely tell the truth.

Lin Su went out again to pay a visit to the prefect of Yang.

As soon as he arrived at the magistrate's mansion, the leader of the gatekeeper saluted directly: "Young master Lin, I heard that you went to the rivers and lakes, when did you come back?"

This leader is no longer the leader of Lei Zhifu's subordinates, but Yang Zhifu's personal guard. He has come to Lin's house several times, and knows Lin Su.

Lin Su smiled: "I just came back, isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? Bring some wine for Big Brother Sun..."

As soon as he raised his hand, ten altars of white clouds appeared on the ground.

Boss Sun laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "Haha, I have seen our son of the God of Wealth attack today. Thank you on behalf of the brothers! My lord is inside..."

Lin Su entered the magistrate's mansion, and the magistrate Yang inside frowned: "What's wrong with you, you bribe the officials as soon as you come, and pass it on, how can you save face?"

"Okay, okay, I'm not only bribing the officials, I'm also bribing the officials, right?"

It's another ten jars of wine, and it's still A!
Yang Zhifu shook his head: "The world is getting worse, people's hearts are not old... hey!"

With a sigh, all ten altars of wine disappeared.

"Come on!" The two walked to the backyard, where the dishes had been set and the wine was opened, and they sat apart.

"I just went to the river beach yesterday. I originally thought that this year's first heavy snowfall and corpses would be scattered all over the place. Who would have thought that I witnessed a miracle... I have to thank you!"

Yang Zhifu raised his hand to fill a glass of wine, and he drank it in one gulp.

Lin Su accompanied him for a drink: "I was also on the river beach yesterday, but not on the Haining river beach, but on the Jicheng river beach. If the magistrate of Jicheng has half of your measure, how can the people in the river beach have no means of livelihood?"

"So you transferred two ships of coal overnight to Jicheng."

"Yes!"

"You said that if your mother is poor, the family will starve to death, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. In fact, you are too!"

I rely on!Who said that?I am a profiteer...

After a few glasses of wine, Lin Su got to the point: "The music family in the capital, are you familiar with it?"

composer?Prefect Yang was slightly startled, did the Qu family provoke you?No way?Whoever messes with you can't get him to mess with you. The Qu family is the most cautious, never participating in factional struggles, and never heard of Yurou Township...

no!Lin Su directly stated the purpose of coming, I just understand the situation of the next Qu family on behalf of my second brother...

Yang Zhifu laughed, so it is completely right, the Qu family is also the descendant, more than 100 years ago, when the Lin family was guarding the northwest, the Qu family was guarding the west, and the two families echoed each other across the Hengduan Mountain.

Later, the Qu family also suffered an accident, and the family fortune fell, almost exactly like your Lin family.

50 years ago, the Qu family produced a literary genius, Qu Wendong. This person studied under the sage of the miscellaneous family, and his personality was extremely smooth. Finally, he gradually transferred the Qu family from martial arts to literary dao. That is more than thirty years.

In the past 30 years, it can be said that he has brought into full play the way of being an official.

Last month, His Majesty came to congratulate this old doctor on his [-]th birthday. On this day, he also formally submitted his resignation.

Your Majesty thinks he is too old, sure.

"Resigned?" Lin Su mused, "Who else is in the officialdom of the Qu family?"

"This is what is admirable about the boss. When he was in the officialdom, he could have brought his children and grandchildren into the officialdom. Who would not do this? But he is very strange. None of his children and grandchildren are in the officialdom. Therefore, he resigned , that is, the full speech, no one in the Qu family is in the officialdom, but the business of the Qu family's children is very prosperous, and the Qu family's embroidery is a well-known name in the capital."

Lin Su took a sip of the wine: "My Lin family was in trouble that day, my marriage was dismissed by the Zhou family, but my second brother's marriage was only temporarily suspended by the Qu family...is this considered prudent?"

"Under the circumstances at that time, to be honest, even I... can't see any hope for the Lin family. A truly cautious person will definitely cut off the Lin family completely. He keeps half of everything. I don't think this It's... cautious."

"what is that?"

Yang Zhifu said: "Just to clarify, he didn't want to cut off the marriage with your family, but the situation was complicated at that time, and he couldn't really stand on the opposite side of the Zhang family, so he postponed it."

"Now, he proposed to renew the relationship! What does it mean?" Lin Su's eyes sparkled.

"He has left the officialdom and is no longer restricted by others, he can follow his heart."

Lin Su put down his cup: "You've been taught! Farewell!"

Lin Su went back to Lin's house, found his second brother, went to his mother, and put forward his opinion straight to the point.

He agreed to continue his relationship with the Qu family.

What about Lin Jialiang?He just asked: What did the composer say on that day to suspend?Not to terminate the contract?

Mother replied affirmatively, it was a suspension, not a termination of the contract!

Lin Jialiang nodded: "Under the circumstances at that time, it was not easy to leave a little room for relaxation."

The three headed members of the Lin family all agreed, and the matter would be settled easily. The steward called the steward of the Qu Mansion, and Mother Lin signed the marriage certificate in person, agreeing to the marriage between the two families.

The housekeeper let out a long breath: "Thank you, old lady, for not giving up. My elders said that next year, February [-]th, is an auspicious day. If your house has no objections, I will send the young lady over to get married."

February nineteenth, exactly two months from today.

The time was tight, but it was enough. Mother Lin asked the two brothers for their opinions. The two brothers looked at each other, nodded, and agreed!
The housekeeper let go of his heart, thanked the three of them, left the gifts brought from the capital, and immediately set off to return to the capital.

Mother Lin summoned the housekeeper, Mei Niang and others to prepare for the second son's marriage from now on. Lin Su returned to the west courtyard and sat under a big tree. Sister Chen handed him a cup of tea, and Lin Su accepted it in a daze. Pass……
