After dressing as a widow

Even though the military officer is half a rank lower than the civilian officer, General Dingguo from the second rank is a rank that the county magistrate will never be able to reach in his life. He respected Lin's father and ordered the people in the county government to register the Lin family's grain first, and invite Lin Father went to the yamen as a guest.

How can Father Lin really go? As before, he respectfully said to the county magistrate: "I appreciate your kindness, but there is a lot of farm work at home. If you are in a hurry to get fat, you won't go."

The county magistrate smiled and said, "Since Mr. Lin is busy at home, I won't keep you. I will visit you again when Mr. Gu comes back."

Lin's father was not arrogant because of Gu Lin's existence, he nodded to the county magistrate, and said to his two sons, "Put on the mule cart and go home."

Lin Da and Lin Er were also a little dazed by Gu Lin's appearance. Although Gu Lin was different from ordinary children since he was a child, he just talked less at home, and they cooked together and dug the ground to compost.

It wasn't until just now that Lin Da and Lin Er saw Gu Lin's other side, wearing armor and riding a big horse. When they rode over, the generals and soldiers all looked at them, with deep respect for Gu Lin in their eyes.Yuxi exclusive.

Driving the empty mule cart, Father Lin took them home.

Father Lin and others who were at home saw the mule cart entering the gate, and they all came over to help unload the mule cart from the mule.

Now the Lin family has two mules and two cows, which were bought by Father Lin, Lin Dalin Er, and Lin Shitou, who needs to go out frequently. The road in front of the Lin family has long been widened, and it is very convenient to enter and exit whether it is a mule cart or an ox cart.

Father Lin knew that Father Lin was always thinking about Lin Zhen, Gu Lin, and Lin Xiaoyao who was outside, and while wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said, "Guess who we met in town today?"

Father Lin held a bowl of water in his hand and handed it to him: "Who?"

"Why don't you guess?"

Father Lin: "I can ask you to come and tell me specifically, that is, relatives in the family. There are so many relatives, how can I guess it, anyway, you can tell it yourself."

"..." Father Lin was speechless, living together for so many years, Father Lin may know him better than himself.

Looking at his son and grandson who were watching the fun, Father Lin didn't hesitate, and said, "It's Shuanzi, who is taking the sergeant to Tongzhou. You didn't see it, he's very majestic!"

Father Lin thought about many people, but he didn't expect it to be Gu Lin, "Shuanzi? Is that true?!"

Father Lin said: "He is going to fight, how can he take Zhen Geer with him, that's fine, Zhen Ge will live a good life, and Shuanzi will go back after the battle is over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Father Lin saw Father Lin frowning, the anxiety in his eyes was visible to the naked eye.

He slapped his head and hurried over: "Don't worry, that kid Shuanzi has been smart and capable since he was a child, and nothing will happen."

Father Lin was very panicked. If the Yan thief was not strong, he would not have hit Tongzhou in such a short time. Now that the third son-in-law is going to meet him, how could he not be worried.

But the whole family looked at him, worried that he was in poor health like last year, so he suppressed the panic, looked at the location of the earth temple in the village, and prayed quietly in his heart, hoping that he would bless Gu Lin safe and sound , the family is still the same as last year, reunion.

Lin Zhen, who was far away in Lizhou, didn't know that Lin's father and Gu Lin had seen him. Since Gu Lin went to Kyoto, he continued to be busy with his business and made explosives by the way.

Explosives are still too dangerous. Although the recipe was handed over to Gu Lin, Lin Zhen still made some by himself habitually, and sent someone to send it to Gu Lin.

This day, Lin Zhen ran out of the raw materials for the explosives, and when he walked out of the gunpowder room to take a rest, Lu Lu suddenly trotted in: "Boss, someone from Kyoto is here!"

Lin Zhen looked up at her: "Who is here?"

Lu Lu's cheeks were flushed, and he panted, "There are some soldiers from Lizhou, and there is a fat and white man."

Communication was inconvenient, Lin Zhen hadn't heard from Gu Lin for half a month, pulled off the cowhide apron and sleeves, and took Lulu to the front yard.

As soon as he arrived at the front yard, he saw the person Lu Lu said, followed Gu Lin into the palace, and he saw at a glance that the people except the Lizhou sergeant were the internal eunuchs of the palace.

It was really white and fat, like a big glutinous rice ball.

As soon as the inner eunuch saw him, he smiled and bent down to salute: "This servant has seen the general's husband."

Lin Zhen slowed down his pace and looked at him: "My father-in-law, be polite."

The white and fat inner eunuch straightened his waist, arched his back slightly, and said: "General Fulang, this servant is here to pick you up to the capital. Master Gu left an order when he left for Tongzhou to let the sergeant pick you up to the capital." , After the emperor finds out, let the servant follow, if you have any inconvenient things to do, you can tell the servant."

Lin Zhen could see that the eunuch's attitude was a bit too humble, and when he mentioned Gu Lin, he respected and respected him, which was a little different from the time he returned to Kyoto last time.

He said to the inner supervisor: "Since Master Gu ordered me, I will go back to the capital with you, but I still have things to deal with, so I'm afraid I will have to wait for two more days."

The inner eunuch was not in a hurry at all, and said with a smile: "Fulang, you are busy with your own work, as long as we can reach the capital."

Lin Zhen nodded, and said to Lu Lu behind him: "Lu Lu, ask someone to tidy up a few rooms, and prepare hot water and meals for the father-in-law and the soldiers."

"Yes." It was the first time for Lu Lu to come into contact with the eunuch, and he secretly glanced curiously.

The inner eunuchs in the palace are all human beings, so keen, he had already noticed Lu Lu's scrutiny, and he smiled at Lu Lu kindly, without any displeasure at being spied upon.

Just kidding, Mr. Gu and the people around Fulang, can he be unhappy?

He was polite to Lin Zhen, the inner prisoner, but not so alienated to the sergeants in Lizhou. After the white and fat inner prisoner was taken to the backyard by Lulu, he recruited the leader of the sergeants to sit on a chair and let him The sergeant sat down and asked, "Tell me carefully what happened after Mr. Gu left Lizhou and arrived in Kyoto."

Naturally, the sergeant from Lizhou would not hide it from him, and immediately told everything he knew.

From Gu Lin leading them, under the banner of rescue, rushing into the capital to arrest some prince, and then entering the palace to rescue the emperor, and then the emperor died within a few days, the new emperor ascended the throne, and after ascending the throne, he was promoted Gu Lin was the second-rank general of Dingguo, and asked him to lead troops to Tongzhou to stop the army of Yan State that had already occupied Pingzhou.

The sergeant had never read a book, so when he said it, it was a straight line without any modifiers, which made Lin Zhen feel a question mark on his forehead.

After he understood it, his head froze for a moment.

The old emperor Qin Zhong is dead?

The new emperor ascended the throne?

The enthroned new emperor gave Gu Lin a promotion?

No, no, isn't the most important thing that Gu Lin killed several princes under the banner of rescue?

Lin Zhen poured a cup of tea, drank half of it and said to the sergeant, "I see, you can go to the backyard to rest."

"Yes, Boss Lin." The sergeants were deeply impressed by Lin Zhen because they had eaten the canned meat jerky and fried noodles of Lin's firm, and they were called by Boss Lin in private.

Even if Lin is really Gu Lin's husband, they are used to this address.

After the sergeant left, Lin Zhen drank the remaining half cup of tea, propped his chin with one hand, and patted himself on the forehead with the other: "Little brat."

He said something softly.

I think this is really something he can do, but I don't know which prince the new emperor is and when they started contacting.

Knowing that Gu Lin left Lizhou and went to Tongzhou to meet the army of Yan State, Lin Zhenxin was a little worried.

He knew that Gu Lin was skilled in martial arts and had a strategy, but he still couldn't help it.

He knocked on the table one by one with his fingers, and felt that he should go to Kyoto as soon as possible. Among other things, Kyoto is closer to Tongzhou, and there is a canal in Kyoto when you go out of the city. You don’t need to go to Dongyang County first like in Lizhou to deliver something. before boarding.

Furthermore, since it was Gu Lin who asked them to pick him up, he believed that Gu Lin had his own considerations.

It is the business in his hands, and he really needs to take care of it.

Lin Zhen did what he said, and didn't like to procrastinate, so he immediately called for the stewards of several workshops to hold a meeting in the backyard of the state government office.

He looked at the stewards of the various workshops sitting in a circle, and said, "It's not a big deal to call everyone here today, but I'm going to the capital for a while, and the return date has not yet been set, so I want to send all the people in the workshop Explain everything."

"Now in our workshop, we import a lot of materials and produce a lot of things. Everyone knows how many things come in and out, so I won't say more."

"What I want to talk about today is just a few points. After I leave, Niu Da will be in charge of the business of Lin's Commercial Firm in Lizhou. The management of the workshop below is still the same as before. The account books will be sent to him every month. He and Luo Sir, after reading it, submit it to me. If there is a problem, the workshop steward who has the problem must explain the matter clearly, and if he is unclear, he will step down as the workshop steward."

"Secondly, Niu Da must visit each workshop three times within a month. Once he finds something wrong, he must immediately investigate the problem of the batch of goods. The reputation that our Lin's business has finally earned cannot be called a few pieces. Rat shit ruined it."

"When selling things, what you pay attention to is a good product with good quality and low price. If the price is higher, people will buy it. It's like big guys who go shopping and don't want to spend money on defective products."

"The third is the workers in the workshop." To be honest, Lin Zhen had a feeling that when he went to Kyoto this time, he and Gu Lin might not easily return to Lizhou.

He must have said more.

Lin's firm in the state capital of Lizhou has become a source of livelihood for the local people. Many workers work here to earn wages and support their families.

Therefore, he does not intend to move the gouache shop and others away from the state capital, and must resolve some follow-up issues before leaving.

"Most of the workers have worked for Lin's firm for a few years. They are diligent and dedicated. Niu Da, you must pay attention to this in the future. You can't default on the wages of the workers. I will still pay for the holidays. Give something and a reward."

"Although Lin's Commercial Bank is a big ship, it needs someone to row forward to move forward. No matter how big the business is, you can't just look up at the sky and look down at the ground, understand?"

Niu Da nodded: "I understand, boss, don't worry."
