The Founding of the Red Chamber

In this era, the rights of the clan were more effective than the laws of the court.

After Mrs. Zhang was sunk into the pool for having an affair, the clan took back one by one, together with Situ San's land and houses.The reason is also very simple, since the Zhang family is suspected of having an affair, the origin of Situ San and Situ Si is somewhat unknown.Situ San's land property and houses are all inherited from the patrilineal line. Since the lineage is unknown, it is natural for the family to take it back and dispose of it.

Fortunately, according to the patriarchal system, only the Zhang family can be dealt with, and Situ San and Situ Si are not in danger of their lives.It's just that, with a disreputable mother like the Zhang family, according to the patriarchal law, the two of them were expelled from the clan.

Situ San listened quietly to Liu Zhigao's story, still feeling pain in the back of his head, and asked, "Who hit me with a stick?"

Liu Zhigao scolded angrily, "Gou Ri's boss did the trick. Aunt Zhang ordered someone to frame him in the woods. It was Gou Ri's second son who ordered someone to go." He is a smart person, not to mention Zhang's honesty, Everyone knows.Liu Zhigao got close to Situ San again, and he no longer believed that Mrs. Zhang could do such a thing as stealing people.Liu Zhigao said, "Third brother, tell me, is it because the boss and the second brother have played a trick?"

Situ San didn't speak, but asked, "Where's Uncle Yan?"

"My father went to the village chief's house, grandma's, and the village chief is not alone, so why did he believe those two dog days?" Liu Zhigao said, "My father said, third brother, take care of your wounds. He went to the Li Chang's house to seek justice for the third brother and the fourth brother."

Situ San didn't get sick for a few days, but after ten days, the injury on the back of his head healed.Taking Situ Si to burn some paper money by the pond where Zhang's family was sunk, Situ San planned to leave Situ Village.

Liu Zhigao asked anxiously, "Third Brother, if you're not in the village, where are you going?"

Situ San's eyes were dark, "Wherever you go, it counts."

With some wounds on his face, Uncle Yan was silent for a while, and said, "San'er, if you survive these days, it will not be difficult for you to start a business again."In a clan society, no matter how skilled a person with a foreign surname is in martial arts, when he wants to fight against his clan, his strength is still weak and pitiful.Uncle Yan was full of resentment to seek justice for Situ San, and even fought a few times with Situ, his face was stained.

Situ San shook his head, "No need. Zhigao and I have learned everything we need to learn this year. Zhigao has also been to Boss Xue's place. After I leave, Uncle, you and Zhigao continue to pour herbs. Livelihood. Don't go hunting in the mountains at your age."

Liu Zhigao's eyes were reddish, and he was very reluctant to part with him, "Wherever the third brother is going, take me with you. I have been with the third brother all the time..."

Situ San had only been away from the village for a month, and Situ Da and Situ Er died at home. Situ Fen was terrified all day long, and kept muttering, "It must be that Situ San came back to take revenge. Situ San came back to take revenge."

Even my own mother Lichang's wife was terrified, not to mention Situ Lichang who was already guilty.

I have done such a guilty conscience in my whole life, but this incident caused the family to be ruined, the mother died and the child was separated. There was no need for Situ San to retaliate. Situ Lichang was already under too much pressure and fell ill on the bed.Coupled with the fact that Situ village had such a family extermination case, he, the chief of the village, has also achieved the first.Master Li, the magistrate, didn't want to coax his little wife at home anymore, so he personally brought the servants to Situ Village to investigate.

After all, Master Li is not Bao Qingtian. After many days of investigation, there is no clue. He sighs and frowns all day long.The officials are evaluated every year. As a county parent official like Mr. Li, there have been two tragedies of killing families under his rule.

As a result, there was no clue about the murder of Situ Da and Situ's two families. Within a few days, the family of the head of Situ's village also died cleanly.

Master Li was so worried that he almost wanted to die.

But at this time, Ma Lu, a small servant in the yamen, found the wind and handed it to Mr. Li, "I have a distant relative from Situ Village. I heard that Situ Da, Situ Er, and Situ Fen both made money in the town before they died. A lot of gambling debts. I don't know, is there something wrong with their being silenced?"

Ma Lu handed over a clue, and Master Li handed over the matter to Ma Lu to handle.

Malu was originally born and raised in Fengraoyang, and he was a small servant in the yamen, so he was very familiar with the land.This thread of clues was not obtained by his ears and eyes, but actually sent to him by Liu Zhigao.

Liu Zhigao was also very passionate these days. Situ Da, Situ Er and Situ Fen's family all died. Liu Zhigao, uncle Yan and his son talked about it privately, and they all felt that Situ San didn't leave, it was revenge.

Liu Zhigao and Situ San have a very good friendship, how could he not help Situ San at this time.The line of Malu was originally drawn by Situ San.And when Situ San was there, during the New Year and festivals, he never lost his etiquette. He was clever and willing to manage money, so the relationship with Malu was very good.

Now that something like this happened to Situ San's family, Ma Lu sighed privately a few times.

Within a few days, Liu Zhigao found him.Liu Zhigao has been by Situ San's side all year round. He is a smart man, and he has learned a little about Situ San's handling methods.Liu Zhigao didn't come empty-handed. After Situ San left, he listened to Situ San's order, took over from Situ San's shift, and continued to resell medicinal herbs.When Situ San left, Uncle Yan gave Situ San all the money saved up by his family for Liu Zhigao to marry a wife for property and travel expenses. Now Liu Zhigao has only some living money from reselling medicinal herbs.However, since he wanted to manage his relationship with Malu, Liu Zhigao was not stingy.

When Ma Lu saw him, he asked his mother-in-law to prepare food and drinks. While drinking, the two talked about Situ San. When they talked about their sadness, Liu Zhigao burst into tears. Thinking of Situ San's benefits, Ma Lu also sighed heavily. , and persuaded Liu Zhigao.

Liu Zhigao came here for a purpose, and he just spoke at this moment, saying, "Brothers understand this time, my father and I are not surnamed Situ, outsiders, in the village, you can't just look at the first half of the sentence you say. Auntie..." Wiping away tears, Liu Zhigao said, "A man should not be powerless for a day, I have limited prospects, and now I only hope that you will be promoted step by step, brother, and you will promote brothers in the future."

Malu sighed, "You don't know me, I'm really capable, so I can't let my third brother suffer such grievances."

Liu Zhigao got drunk, "I'm not as good as my brother, I work in the yamen. My brother is so young, if he finds an opportunity to show his face to the county magistrate, I'm afraid he won't have a future."

"Brother, how do you know about the yamen. If I want to show my face, I have to have a chance..."

Liu Zhigao handed this "opportunity" to Malu.

Liu Zhigao's eyes were red and swollen, and he said, "Situ Da Situ Er Situ Fen owed a large amount of money to the casino, how could they have the money to pay it back, maybe it was the people in the casino who killed him..."

Liu Zhigao lured Ma Lu to the casino, and Ma Lu wanted to make a name for himself in front of the magistrate, so he told the magistrate Mr. Li about this clue.Master Li handed over the casino to Ma Lu.

The state is at all times the greatest organ of violence.

A small casino, head-to-head with the county government, is completely free.

Soon there was a leader in the casino, Zhang Huhu, who sought out Ma Lu for a relationship. He spoke to each other, very respectful, and gave Ma Lu a big gift, begging him to show his respect.Malu is a native of Fengrao County, and he didn't want to turn against these desperadoes, so he said with a straight face, "If you don't embarrass me, I will definitely not embarrass you. You will kill the three families of Situ Village as soon as you take action." , such handwriting, who can cover it up!"

Zhang Hu was full of grievances, and said, "Oh, Grandpa Ma, we have been wronged. We have always made money through harmony, asking for money but not life. Human life is at stake, we don't have the guts."

Malu smiled coldly, "If Mr. Zhang told me that, he would be embarrassing me."

Seeing that Ma Lu didn't believe him, Zhang Huo was also a little anxious. He stared and said, "Mr. Ma, let me tell you straight. Those boys owed my casino tens of taels of silver. But later, they paid back all the money." , why should I go to kill others!"

Malu immediately heard some clues, "Pay it back? When will you pay it back?"

Zhang Hu said, "It will be returned in a few days."

Ma Lu also knew that Situ San's family business was taken away by the clan, but according to the rules, Situ San, Situ Da and Situ Er were neither father nor mother, so they could not be regarded as brothers.Even if Situ San's property was collected into the clan, it would not fall to these two.

Ma Lu was able to establish friendship with the man who accompanied the county magistrate's wife, and now he has received this job in front of the county magistrate, and he is trying to show his face.Ma Lu is a person who likes to make money, his brain is not slow, and he asked separately, "Master Zhang, I also know what you do in the casino. Those people are just poor boys. If no one sets a trap, they can't get into you." game."

Staring at Zhang Hu's face, Ma Lu smiled half-smile, "Master Zhang and I have never violated each other, but now that this case of exterminating the family is involved, I don't want to hurt each other's friendship because of Master Zhang's face. Now, it's just up to Master Zhang to give me this face!"

Zhang Hu frowned, for a long time, cursed in a low voice, and said, "It's really fucking bad luck. I told the truth to Mr. Ma, I'm just playing around to earn a living, and I know something about those poor ghosts. However, I don’t know much... The situation that day was not caused by me, but by that boy Leopard. I’ll call him right now, Master Ma, ask him what happened!”

"Leave my words here, Master Ma, although my brothers are a bit of a mess, but give them courage, they don't dare to do things that are out of the family." He also said a few words for his brothers.

Ma Lu said, "Then you have to ask to know."

It doesn't matter if you ask this question, it directly goes to the father of the county magistrate's little wife.

The game in the casino that day was indeed done by Leopard. Leopard and Situ Fen recognized each other, but it was not his intention to do this game. Boss Hu.

Hearing that Leopard had confessed to Boss Hu, Malu felt that something was wrong, so he stopped asking and reported the result to Mr. Li.Master Li still held his breath in front of Malu, but his face was already smelly. After sending Malu down, Master Li raised his hand and dropped the teacup in his hand.

Hu family!Hu family!

It's true that he likes the Hu family, but it doesn't mean that the Hu family sent a daughter to be his concubine, so they can rely on the Hu family to kill people and set fires!There were three bloody cases under his rule, not to mention his official position, how will he respond to the court's indictment in the future!

Mr. Li sat withered in the study all night. This night, it seemed that the ambitious young official had turned into a dull old man. There was even a strand of silver on Mr. Li's temple.

Early the next morning, Mr. Li went to his main wife's room and discussed something with his wife. Within a few days, Mrs. Hu had a miscarriage.After the miscarriage, Mrs. Hu was ill for a few days and had no luck, so she went with her.

Then, Mr. Li called Ma Lu, and said with a dignified expression, "Boss Hu has already told me the whole story, so you take someone there, arrest Zhang Huo and his subordinates, and seize the casino. , The shop was sealed by the official."

Strictly order Malu to take the yamen's servants and take Zhang Huhu's casino, family and shop, all of them are copied.But, unfortunately, Zhang Huo himself was not caught.

Seeing Master Li's cruelty, Ma Lu thought, Master Li slapped his ass and left after three years as magistrate, but he was here for generations.Zhang Huhu is also a tyrant in Fengrao County, and he stays on the front line in everything so that we can meet each other in the future. Malu feels that he can't offend Zhang Huhu, so he sends his confidant to send a letter to Zhang Huhu in advance.

Zhang Huo ran away by himself, but the brothers under him went to the big prison and the escape route. Thinking about his own shop business, years of painstaking efforts were spent on it.

Although Zhang Huo ran away, Mr. Li was not annoyed. He had come to Fengrao County for the past few years and had his own confidantes. At the city gate, determined to catch a turtle in the urn.

Mr. Li sent people to check the county every day, and forced Zhang Huo to have nowhere to hide. He tried to sneak into the county government several times to kill Mr. Li in order to vent his hatred.Unexpectedly, Mr. Li expected the enemy to be ahead. Although Zhang Huo ran away, all the members of the Zhang family were arrested by Mr. Li and taken into the county government.If Zhang Huhu dared to make a rash move, Master Li was also ready to burn everything.

Zhang Huo has been able to run rampant in Fengrao County for many years, he is not a brainless person, he dare not touch Master Li because of his small family.However, if he doesn't give the surname Li some strength, he is really worried about the safety of his family.Zhang Hu suddenly thought of the Hu family. When Malu sent a letter to him, it was clear that the Hu family was behind the scenes and wanted to take him as a scapegoat!Every time he thinks of this, Zhang Hu is full of hatred!

Zhang Hu's heart was ruthless, and he never stopped doing anything, looking for an opportunity to chop up the Hu family.

Boss Hu was full of scheming, and used the leopard to set up a trap, and set up a game for Situ Da, Situ Er, Situ Fen and the three of them, making them owe gambling money.Together with the leopards, they took control of Situ Da and Situ Er, and kidnapped Situ Fen.Situ Da and Situ Er owed a huge sum of money, besides, they are just two sluts who would do anything for money.

And Situ Fen is the only son of Chief Situ, and for the sake of his only son's life, Chief Situ had to do something bad.

Boss Hu successfully confiscated Situ Sanzheng's family property, expelled the family name, died a tragic death of his mother, and even had to leave Situ Village.

At the beginning, Boss Hu, who tasted the fruits of victory, was still complacent, thinking that Zhuge was reborn and Kongming was reborn.However, then Situ Da, Situ Er and Situ Fen's three families were wiped out, and Boss Hu began to tremble in his heart. Could it be that Situ San was here to avenge his mother...

However, Boss Hu never expected that the Hu family would die in the hands of Zhang Hu.

Knowing that the Hu family members were all dead, Master Li immediately showed a furious face, and once again ordered people to post notices all over the city, offering a reward: If anyone provides the whereabouts of Tiger Zhang, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

Thousand taels of silver, this is a huge sum of money.Ordinary farmers, one tael of silver can be rich in rice and white noodles for a month, and ten taels of silver can marry a flowery little daughter-in-law... 1000 taels of silver, some people can't earn 1000 without eating or drinking for a lifetime Two silver!

As soon as this notice came out, the eyeballs of half of the people in the city burned red from the 1000 taels of silver.

Mr. Li kept the county government secret and kept his wife and children away from the county government these days.

In this way, the entire county was under martial law for half a month, and countless people who wanted to make a fortune were looking for Zhang Huhu's whereabouts.Suddenly one night, a fire broke out in the county government office.These days, there is no sign of reinforced concrete, and most of the houses are made of wood. Summer is approaching, and the fire is so red that half the sky is burning.

Mr. Li's whole family, young and old, came out in a hurry in only their inner clothes. The servants, maidservants, women, and servants of the county government all panicked to find water to put out the fire. Mr. Li finally held his breath and shouted, "Protect your wife, girl, brother, be careful!" The thieves sneak in." In fact, he was with his wife and children, and the translation of this sentence is to protect the master and me, so as not to be distracted and let the thieves sneak in.

It's not the first time Master Li has seen Zhang Huhu, but it's the first time he knows that Zhang Huhu has such kung fu in his body. That thunderbolt-like knife cut down three government servants with one knife. Without even thinking about it, he dragged his wife back, but for some reason, the two of them had no roots and fell down one after another. Mrs. Li was crushed in her husband's arms... Zhang Huo just cut off Mrs. Li's neck and landed on the ground. Master Li's chest...

Even though he was afraid of death, he couldn't watch Zhang Hu kill the county magistrate.At this time, the yamen servants rushed forward one after another. Zhang Huhu was a master of kung fu, and he fought and retreated. Although he had suffered numerous injuries, he finally escaped from the county and disappeared.

This is the beginning and end of the famous "Jinling Riot Case".

However, it's not quite the same as what Master Li wrote in his excerpts.Mr. Li was slashed in the chest, fortunately Zhang Hu's sword was at the end of his strength at that time, and he did not kill Mr. Li.

However, more than half of the county government office was burned, Mr. Li was so injured that he couldn't get up, and the whole Fengrao County was panicked.Now that the matter has come to this point, Mr. Li is still very calm. This matter has become so big that the government office has been burned by others. The pressure cannot be suppressed anymore.After all, he was born as a Jinshi, a talented scholar, at least his writing skills are enough.Mr. Li is now seriously injured and unable to write, so he dictated it himself, and asked his eldest son to write a sad and infinite memorial on his behalf.

The general idea is: there are mobs in Fengrao County, and the thugs are so mad that they even set fire to the county government... My wife also died heroically, and I was stabbed... Fortunately, the yamen servants did not care about their lives and killed the thugs as follows...

Mr. Li directly killed a dozen people in Situ Village, and the Hu family, the dead ghosts, were all dead anyway, so they were all listed as thugs.Another example is the little brothers of Zhang Huhu who were captured alive, they were all captured thugs...

Confession of loyalty again: Although his wife died in vain, fortunately there were no casualties among the people, and finally he was worthy of His Majesty's trust and Shangguan's teaching... Finally, I apologize for my incompetence.

As for the murder of Situ Da and others, where is there a murder?They were all thugs who attacked the county government and were shot to death... and Mr. Li, euphemistically, pretended to be a hero who quelled the riot...

Mr. Li ordered his son to take a loyal steward and go to Jinling to meet the prefect of Jinling with a heavy gift, and to report the matter in detail according to what Mr. Li said, and ask the prefect to deal with it... As for the rest, Mr. Li's eyes dimmed, and he married his wife It's all in, it's bad luck or good luck, let's see God's will.

On the other hand, Malu, looking for an opportunity, was found out by Mr. Li about accepting bribes. He was beaten and sent to prison. After a while, he was dispatched far away.

The bloody storm in Fengrao County of Situ Village is not to be mentioned for the time being, but now there is a big event in the imperial capital: Chunwei.

Although no one from the Lin family participated in the Chunwei, Lin Jing still made people pay attention to the Chunbang. Without him, Lin Jing's former husband, Mr. Xia, also participated in the Chunwei.Before Lin Chunwei, Lin Jing also sent someone to send a hundred taels of silver to Xia's house, just to hope that Mr. Xia would nourish himself better and not treat his body too hard.

When Chunwei released the list, Lin Jing also sent someone to look at it. Mr. Xia was at the end of the second list, but he was also on the list.

Because Mr. Xia and Lin Jing are known as mentors and apprentices, Lin Jing never forgets to send people to Xia's house for seasonal meals during the holidays.Now that Mr. Xia has been named on the gold list, Lin Jing will naturally go to congratulate him.What's more, Mr. Xia and Shu Jingyun are close friends, so Lin Jing told his sister-in-law, Yue Shi, that he planned to go to Xia's house with Shu Jingyun to congratulate Mr. Xia.

The Yue family had already prepared the gift list, and ordered Fu'er to show it to Lin Jing, and asked, "Is it okay for the fourth uncle to see it? If you want to add something, I can ask the girl to add it."

In fact, Mr. Xia received a lot of support from the Lin family. Now that he is promising, the Lin family only invests in potential stocks, and they are not stingy.Lin Jing didn't have any objections, and Yue asked again, "Fourth Uncle's birthday will be in a few days, how does Fourth Uncle plan to spend it? Let's invite a few famous plays to make it lively and lively?"

Lin Jing is not a person who rehearses scenes, so he said, "Big brother is not at home, so don't bother. Sister-in-law, just set up two tables of wine at your own home."

Lin Jing said this, but the Yue clan didn't want to wrong his uncle.Not to mention Lin Jing's own background and ability, even at home, Lin Jing thought about everything for her, and was very considerate, and this was Lin Jing's first birthday after returning home, so it couldn't be too simple.The Yue family laughed, "What's the trouble? Before leaving, your elder brother specially told me to make the house lively and lively. We don't make such a big show of ostentation. At least the troupe will always invite two, and the fourth uncle will be happy." Acquainted friends are also invited to have a good time together. Even me, I will take advantage of fourth uncle's birthday to be lazy."

Lin Jing has a kind of quick-wittedness in his nature, in fact, his birthday must be worried about by the Yue family, how can he use his birthday as a "lazy child" as the Yue family said.By saying this, Yue Shi was nothing more than easing his heart.Lin Jing held Yue Shi's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be too tired, just leave ordinary things to the maids and daughters-in-law."

Lin Jing knew her feelings, and Yue Shi felt more and more that his heart was not in vain, and said with a smile, "I know."

Mr. Xia was naturally happy to see Shu Jingyun and Lin Jing.

Lin Jing has always been articulate, Shu Jingyun is no ordinary person, and Mr. Xia is also honest and honest, the three of them talked very happily.Shu Jingyun asked, "I will take another exam next time. It would be best if I can enter the Imperial Academy. If not, Liming, what are your plans?"

Mr. Xia told the truth, "This time I didn't rank well in the list, and my chances of entering the Imperial Academy are not great. I thought, if I can benefit the people of a county, it will not be in vain for me to study for many years."

Lin Jingdao, "It's not difficult to find the magistrate of a county. Sir, just focus on the exam, and after the results come out, you don't have to worry about finding a job abroad." According to the ability of the Lin family, arrange a county magistrate for Mr. Xia, but in one sentence thing.Even if Lin Yi is not at home, Lin Jing can do it.

Hearing Lin Jing's words, Mr. Xia's face was full of shame, and he said, "At first I didn't keep my promise, I insisted on Chunwei, I lost my character, and now I still..."

Lin Jing hurriedly said, "It is said that you can be a teacher for a day and a father for life. It is not outrageous for you to say this. What's more, if you can be the parents of one party, educate the people of the other party, and develop your ambitions in life, it will not be in vain for you to study hard. For many years; secondly, Mr. has such talent and ability, and is kind-hearted. In the Lin family, he was only a teacher for young children, and Lin Jing benefited from it alone. Mr. is an official outside, and he is also my husband. Could it be that when Mr. becomes an official, he looks down on Jinger and doesn't want to be Jinger's husband?"

When Lin Jing speaks, he always covers everything.For an honest person like Mr. Xia, no matter how much he can be trusted, he won't bother with this anymore, but his gratitude to the Lin family is real.He also felt that Lin Jing, a disciple, was extremely sensible, and he was lucky to have such a disciple.Therefore, Mr. Xia even more asked Shu Jingyun to teach Lin Jing homework well, and said to Shu Jingyun, "According to Jinger's aptitude, it is not difficult to get a title on the gold list in the future. Ah Yun, don't slack off." He checked Lin Jing's homework slightly, The progress was slower than he estimated.Mr. Xia is an honest person, and finally couldn't help it, so he reminded Shu Jingyun.

Shu Jingyun was a careless and crazy person, and Mr. Xia said, "Don't be coaxed by this kid with a few nice words, he is very cunning."

If in the past, Lin Jing would have had to refute one or two, but in the end, in front of Mr. Xia, Lin Jing didn't say a word, just showed a pitiful face, looking at Mr. Xia eagerly, all kinds of grievances are self-evident.Mr. Xia was really unhappy, and said, "Ayun, how can you say that about Jing'er. Jing'er has a pure heart and extraordinary intelligence, how rare it is."

Shu Jingyun said in her heart, it's really worrying for you to go out to be an official like this.

After leaving the Xia family, Lin Jing said to Shu Jingyun on the road, "Mr. Xia is a good person. If he goes out to be an official like this, I'm afraid he will suffer."

Lin Jing had thoughtful plans for Xia Liming, and Shu Jingyun was very happy in her heart, and said, "Let's see, if you go out to be an official, you should at least have two masters."

Put aside Mr. Xia's matter for now, it will be Lin Jing's birthday in a blink of an eye.

As Lin Jing said, the Lin family didn't do anything big, but just invited brothers and sisters from the clan to have fun with Lin Jing's friends for a day.

Guan Xiaoer tried on a dozen sets of clothes at home before deciding what to wear, and prepared a gift for Lin Xiaosi, and went to Lin's house early the next morning.

Lin Jing made fun of him, "You are here to have breakfast with me."

Guan Xiaoer looked at Lin Xiaosi's bright red festive clothes, and said seriously, "Lin Xiaosi, you look so pretty in this outfit."

Lin Jing raised his chin, extremely confident, "You are so handsome, you look good in anything you wear."

Guan Xiaoer hurriedly flattered Lin Jing a few more words. Deep in Guan Xiaoer's heart, he felt that he had a good-looking doll like Lin Xiaosi as a friend, and he still had a lot of face.He said happily, "Xiaosi, I came here earlier, and I came here specially to help you entertain guests."

Guan Xiaoer gave Lin Jing a set of bows and arrows. Lin Jing liked it very much, so he stopped laughing at him. He took Guan Xiaoer's hand and asked, "Xiaoer, have you really eaten at home? If you haven't eaten, just tell me." Ah, don't go hungry."

Lin Xiaosi held his hand, and Guan Xiaoer's face suddenly turned into a flowery smile, "Eat, eat, have you eaten?"

"I also ate."

"What did you eat in the morning? How many bowls of porridge and buns did you eat?"

The two little friends chattered a lot. After a while, Cui Jinran also came. Lin Teng brought all his younger brothers and sisters to celebrate Lin Jing's birthday, and Xie Changyun, the grandson of Xie Guogong's mansion, came uninvited. Lin Jing also warmly entertained him. .

The whole Lin Mansion became lively.

After staying in the evening, Lin Jing sent off his friends with a bit of tiredness. The Yue family saw that Lin Jing was very tired, so he hurriedly ordered the girl to take care of Lin Jing and rest.On the contrary, the Yue family looked at the gift list sorted out by the girl at night, and saw that Duke Xie's mansion had given a heavy gift, and was quite surprised: the Lin family and the Xie family have a good relationship, but it's just good, not too good.Even if Lin Yi's birthday is over, the Xie family doesn't need to give such a generous gift directly like this?

The Yue family felt something was wrong, and asked Lin Jing the next day. Lin Jing knew it as soon as he thought about it, so he quietly told the Yue family the whole story, and said, "Since the Xie family gave a generous gift, my sister-in-law can take it at ease. The elder brother is not at home. If there is any seasonal fruit at home, give it to Xie's family, and they will understand what we mean." Xie's family has the intention to apologize, and Empress Xie has learned her lesson, Lin Jing will not Take this to heart again.If Empress Xie dared to make up his mind again, he would not be polite.

The Yue family was startled but at the same time relieved, Lin Yi was not here, and with someone like Lin Jing in the family, he really had a backbone.The Yue family said again, "The Empress Dowager rewarded Fourth Uncle with some things from other houses. I think they are good. Maybe Fourth Uncle may need them. I will send them to Fourth Uncle. Fourth Uncle sees something If you like it, just take it out and use it."

Lin Jing agreed.

In other words, the Lin family accepted the gift and returned the good fruit, so Mrs. Xie Guogong naturally told her husband.

Xie Guogong nodded, he was relieved.

Mrs. Xie Guogong muttered to herself: It is true that Lin Xiaosi's life is poisonous. The empress's current situation is not just because of Lin Xiaosi's restraint.A dead Lin Xiaosi, but he cheated my daughter to death!
