After dressing as a widow

Now that he has made up his mind to go to Lizhou with Gu Lin, the business of jade powder and flower dew that Lin Zhen has just spread out will be closed, and will be given to those customers who have bought jade powder and flower dew from him, as well as the next Those who have placed orders but have not yet received the goods will come to the door one by one to inform themselves of their upcoming relocation.

But this business still needs to be done. When Lizhou settles down, it will deliver the goods to Kyoto immediately, and those who have placed an order but have not received the goods can cancel their orders, or continue to wait for the construction period.

At the same time, Lin Zhen also made corresponding compensation, and those who were delayed in the construction period of the next new product could buy it first with this document.

When the customers who were facing Yurong Fen and Hualu heard that Lin Zhen was leaving the capital, they all thought that something had happened to Lin Zhen, and Mrs. Shi even specially called Lin Zhen to ask.

Lin Zhen looked at Mrs. Shi, who was somewhat sincere towards him, and said, "Don't worry, Madam, even if you go to Lizhou, you will definitely ask someone to hurry up and deliver the jade powder you want to your house."

"It's my nephew. He wants to go to Lizhou to take office. I'll go with him."

Mrs. Shi is not a boudoir woman who does not leave her home, she often hangs around outside, and recently she has heard a few words about Lizhou.

Mrs. Shi was a little curious: "Your nephew, could it be that he is the champion of the new discipline and was awarded the magistrate of Lizhou?"

Lin Zhen nodded, "Exactly. Fortunately, Lizhou is not far from the capital here, and it only took half a month for Yurong powder to be delivered."

"You can go to Lizhou," Mrs. Shi said, "There are too many snakes, insects, rats and ants lying in the capital, and sometimes you can't do what you want. Although Lizhou can't be said to be the emperor of the sky Far, but it's better to stay away from them."

"But it's cold in Lizhou, you and your nephew need to prepare some warm clothes."

"Thank you Madam, Madam must also take care of your health." Lin Zhen said this sincerely, and he would not be indifferent to Madam Shi's sincerity towards him.

Lin Zhen successively visited the addresses left by the wives of the various prefectures on the list one by one, and told them that he would move out, but he continued to do this business, but the construction period was extended to a certain extent.

With other people, Lin Zhen naturally didn't say clearly that he was going to Lizhou like he did with Mrs. Shi, but only said a few rough words.

Most of the noble ladies and ladies complained about Lin Zhen going to other places and the extension of the construction period, but they did not cancel the order. They don't know when they will be able to use the list, and they still have some ideas about not canceling it.

There were only a few grumpy ones who didn't speak very nicely and canceled the list.

But the canceled list was a drop in the bucket in front of the rest of the list, which was not a big problem to Lin Zhen.

After dealing with the business matters, he explained clearly to the host who rented the house to them, packed his luggage, Lin Zhen hired a few carriages, and loaded the raw materials, distillation equipment and porcelain boxes and porcelain bottles bought to make jade powder into the car.

As well as the twelve girls and brothers he bought, they will also go to Lizhou.

"Boss, someone is looking for it outside." Lin Zhenzhen was instructing people to dismantle the distillation equipment that had been used for more than two months and carefully wrap it up and put it in the carriage.

It was windy today, and the wind blew sand into Lin Zhen's eyes. He was about to say goodbye to the man, and turned around to see who it was. Gu Lin took his hand: "I'll go and see."

Lin Zhen thought for a while, he knew all the people he knew in the capital, Gu Lin, so it was okay to let Gu Lin go, so he said: "Well, if you come because of the Yurong powder business, you will all be rejected."

"Ah."

Gu Lin walked outside the door, and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man standing outside the door. He raised his head the moment he heard the footsteps, his face was still full of sternness and calculation, and he saw that it wasn't Lin Zhen. Surprised for a moment: "Master Gu."

He quickly adjusted his expression, hiding the malice that he hadn't concealed much.

Gu Lin has been in the limelight these days, and the flowers thrown on him when he was parading through the streets almost overwhelmed him. If this man had seen him at that time, it would be normal to recognize him.

Gu Lin stood in the door, looking at the man bending over in front of him: "What are you looking for with Lin Zhen?"

Because of Yurong Fan, the group of them has searched Lin Zhen inside and out, and they also know a little about Gu Lin, the new champion. My uncle is negotiating a deal, I don't know if Boss Lin is here, can I come out and meet you?"

Gu Lin rejected him with one word, saying that Lin Zhen was here, but he would not meet him.

The person who was sent to the Furong Pavilion froze. Unexpectedly, the big toast would not eat the fine wine, and the small ones were not too bad. It’s an old shop, Boss Lin’s cooperation with us can only benefit you, not harm you.”

"And our real boss of Furong Pavilion...is extraordinary..." The people of Furong Pavilion pointed their fingers upwards, revealing to Gu Lin how extraordinary the real boss behind them is.

Gu Lin still had the same expression, unmoved.

The man didn't expect to run into obstacles one after another, and almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face. In his heart, he killed Lin Zhen and Gu Lin countless times. In the eyes of their master, a fifth-rank exile official is nothing!

But due to Gu Lin's official status, the man forcibly held back, turned and left.

The shopkeeper of Furong Pavilion, who was waiting in the carriage at the corner, asked him, "How is it?"

The man said angrily: "The big one and the small one don't take the soft and hard. I revealed that the master's identity is unusual, and they still don't obediently hand over Yurongfen's prescription."

"In that case, let the master handle it, let's go back." The shopkeeper of Furong Pavilion glanced at the house rented by Lin Zhen and Gu Lin, not knowing how to evaluate the uncle and nephew.

No matter how much money Fang Zi made, he would die. With his master's temper, he would never let it go without some blood on his hands.

After all, that is Concubine He Gui's own younger brother, the only male in He's family, now that Concubine He Gui's family is in full bloom, who would dare to make himself uncomfortable in front of him.

The carriage of the shopkeeper of Furong Pavilion stopped in front of the He family's mansion, and entered the He mansion after a while.

It was night, after packing up all day, Lin Zhen, who was planning to go to Lizhou with Gu Lin the next day, was in a deep sleep, so he had no idea that Gu Lin was hidden on the roof and saw four or five people in black groping into the room. out of the yard and walked towards where he lived.

But in the blink of an eye, the four men in black fell to the ground without a trace of scars on their bodies, but they couldn't die any more. A little blood slowly flowed out from their eyes, nose, nose and ears.

The last remaining one was carried into the alley by Gu Lin, covering his mouth with one hand and clasping his shoulder with the other: "The purpose of coming here."

Gu Lin asked the man in black.

The man in black shook his head, but the first time he shook his head, his calf was broken with a click by Gu Lin.

Gu Lin looked at him with dark eyes: "Second time, the purpose of coming here."

The man in black hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head. The moment he shook his head, Gu Lin, who was clasping his shoulders, suddenly pressed his body down, and his knees pressed against his stomach.

"There is no third time." Gu Lin picked up the man in black with cold sweat and pale face, and said.

The man in black nodded, and after Gu Lin let go of his mouth, he said, "By the order of Mr. He, Mr. He, the mansion of Mr. He, take away the husband named Lin Zhen, and burn the courtyard here to eliminate traces."

It turned out that since the shopkeeper of Furong Pavilion went to inform the son of He Guogong about the matter, the son of He Guogong, who had always been unscrupulous in his work, directly asked someone to kidnap Lin Zhen and held him in his hands.

And the lustful Mr. He heard that Lin Zhen was so beautiful, he not only wanted Fang Zi, but also wanted to play with him.

After hearing the man in black say that he wanted to kidnap Lin Zhen, burn the house, and destroy the traces, Gu Lin snapped the man's neck and dragged the four corpses out of the yard. Throwing the five corpses into that Mr. He's room, relit the extinguished candlestick, and put it on the bed full of brocades.

There was some light from the fire in the house, and the fire became more and more intense before leaving, and came to the street where Furong Pavilion was located.

When Lin Zhen woke up the next day, he heard the commotion outside. It wasn't like the fireworks in the usual morning, but panicked and gossiping.

He put on his clothes and went out, right next to Mrs. Yu was also outside, and asked her: "Ms. Yu, what's the matter, why—"

Mrs. Yu came over and pulled him, shook her head, and whispered: "I heard that there was a fire in the Dongcheng District. Which family's son was burned to death. A group of officers and soldiers just passed by."

"Fire? Burned to death?" Lin Zhen looked in the direction of Dongcheng District. At this moment, he could still see some residual smoke. He didn't know how long it took to burn out the residual smoke.

But this has nothing to do with him, and he didn't do it. Lin Zhen didn't have much curiosity, and entered the room after saying a few words with Mrs. Yu.

Gu Lin just came out when he entered the room, Lin Zhen looked at him and told him: "The weather is dry and dry recently, if you read a book at night, you must check that the candles are completely extinguished before you go to bed, I don't know which house in Dongcheng District There was a fire, and the smoke hasn't cleared yet."

Wearing a robe of sky blue after the rain, he looked extraordinarily handsome. Gu Lin, who even retreated from the cold air that was thousands of miles away from him, nodded. He was about to answer Lin Zhen's words, and Huang Yuwen, who came to see them off, was Chen Xingzhong Yan. , as well as the old troupe leader of the Qianhong Opera Troupe, the actor who sang "Mei Niang", and Yu Niangzi's family all came, helping them put the bits and pieces they had packed into the carriage.

Lin Zhen was supported by Gu Lin with one hand, and got into the carriage. He looked at Huang Yuwen, Chen Xing, and Zhong Yan, whom he had known for many years, as well as Yu Niangzi's family, whom he only met when he came to the capital, and the head of Qianhong Opera Troupe, and Mei Niang's role. , waved his hand: "We're leaving now, take care everyone."

"Uncle Lin, take care, Gu Lin, take care!" Huang Yuwen, Chen Xing, Zhong Yan and the three have the deepest relationship with them, and the sorrow of parting is also the heaviest.

The head of the Qianhong Opera Troupe stood beside the three of them and waved his hands: "Boss Lin, maybe I will go to your place to sing in the future, and "Legend of the White Snake" will be lined up at that time, so I will definitely ask you to take a good look!"

Yu Niangzi's family, who had been their neighbors for a short time, only felt a little unbelievable and faintly reluctant. Who would have thought that they would become neighbors with Xinke champion, and that lovely Lin Fulang, and they would never meet such a beautiful woman in the future. people.
