Lin Fangxu took a step forward, stretched out two fingers, pressed down the index finger in front of him, leaned in front of Jiang Shiyun, stared at his eyes, and said with a smile: How come I don't know what I just said?
Can Shao Lang solve his doubts?
Jiang Shiyun's heartbeat accelerated a few beats by his staring, and he was a little out of breath, and when he didn't know how to answer, Lin Fangyuan announced outside the door: Young master, Uncle Tiancai just came to the Shang Mansion and brought news that the eldest young master had arrived in Hangzhou and settled in the Defu Inn.Lin Fangxu retracted his gaze and said to Lin Fangyuan: You go back to the guest house first, and pack up the things you want to bring back with Brother Chong, and we will go to the Defu Inn together later.Jiang Shiyun came back to his senses and asked casually: Is there something wrong with the eldest brother of the Lin family coming to Hangzhou?
Lin Fangxu said with a smile: There is nothing else, I will leave for the capital in a few days, I can't go back to Wuyi County for the New Year, my eldest brother came to see me.Jiang Shiyun blurted out: Then we will return to Beijing after the year.Jiang Shiyun regretted it after speaking, and when his father left, he explained that they would return to Beijing for the New Year, but he didn't want Lin Fangxu to be unable to reunite with his family for the New Year, it was really difficult.Lin Fangxu naturally didn't embarrass him, and said with a smile: But don't set off after the New Year, I will try it in February, and I want to go to Beijing as soon as possible to prepare.Although Jiang Shiyun breathed a sigh of relief, he was still a little sullen, Lin Fangxu accepted the pen, ink and paper manuscript, said goodbye to him, and walked out.Jiang Shiyun looked at his back in a daze, thinking about the way he stared at him before, like the white-fronted tiger he encountered when his father took him hunting a few years ago, dangerous and very aggressive.When Jiang Shiyun was still thinking about the look that seemed to be about to devour himself, Lin Fangxu suddenly turned around and smiled at him, waved his hand, and turned around the Moon Gate.Jiang Shiyun seemed to be caught as a thief, and as if he had been discovered by someone who had some unsavory secret, he patted his fast-beating heart and said: Bah, don't you just watch it for a while, what is there to be afraid of.But I didn't know that my whole face was as red as the February spring flowers.Lin Fangxu didn't know why he wanted to turn back, but no matter why, the moment he saw Jiang Shiyun watching him all the time, he felt that this was the greatest blessing that rebirth brought to him than taking the lead.Chapter 39 When Lin Fangxu arrived at the Defu Inn, Shi Tiancai was waiting at the door, and when he saw Lin Fangxu, he hurriedly greeted him.Shi Tiancai saluted Lin Fangxu and said, "Little young master, the eldest young master is resting in the guest room, and he ordered me to wait for you here."
Lin Fangxu nodded to indicate that he understood, and ordered Lin Fangyuan and the two to wait downstairs and went to the guest room alone.Lin Fangxu followed Shi Tiancai to the door of the guest room, the door was not closed, there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man guarding the door, he was stunned when he saw Lin Fangxu, and when he saw Shi Tiancai following behind Lin Fangxu, he immediately reacted, stepped forward and said respectfully: I have seen the little master, the eldest young master is taking a nap, I have told the little one before, if the little master arrives, please ask the little master to go in directly.Lin Fangxu looked at the person in front of him, who had never appeared in his previous life, with a steady temperament, speaking in a measured manner, and asked: What is your name?
The young man hurriedly replied: The younger one was originally called Wang Xiaoer, and the eldest young master gave him the name Wang Shanye.Lin Fangxu nodded, asked the two of them to go down to rest, pushed the door and entered the room, Lin Fangqin was lying on the bed with his eyes slightly closed at this time.Lin Fangqin just stood up this year, and his chin began to grow a beard, perhaps because he had taken care of the tea mountain in the past two years, his skin was much darker than before, and the rest had not changed much.Lin Fangxu moved a stool to guard the head of the bed like when he was a child, and the family had to be poor at that time, and the eldest brother left the school at the age of seventeen and went to the county to work as an apprentice in the bookkeeper, and came home late every day.Lin Fangxu was only three or four years old at that time, and he fell asleep at night without waiting for the eldest brother to get home, and he must have gotten up before dawn in the morning, ran to the eldest brother's room, stayed at the head of the bed, and waited for the eldest brother to wake up, and brought it for himself, the snacks he brought back to their brother from the county seat.It didn't take long for Lin Fangqin to wake up, Lin Fangxu took off his robe from the screen, put it on his eldest brother, and asked: Can the eldest brother rest?
Are you okay at home?
Lin Fangqin got out of bed, sat down next to the tea table, and said: The family is naturally fine, you will go to the capital in two days, right?
I've brought you some silver taels and a greeting gift, so that you can handle it when you move around.Lin Fangxu replied: Well, I will set off with the people of Wu'an Hou Mansion the day after tomorrow, big brother, is the family really okay?
If it's really okay, you said that you would come to Hangzhou at the end of November, and now it's December 13.Lin Fangqin patted his forehead with the back of his hand, and said with a smile: Why don't you look forward to ordering it at home, there was indeed an accident and delay, but it is not a big deal.Do you know the boss of Honghu Tower?
At the end of October, she married a man named Wang Zitai in Jinhua Mansion, and she was the same year as you.Lin Fangxu thought about it, well, there is indeed such a person, who is ranked in the middle of the township test, and he is not very familiar with it.Lin Fangqin continued: In mid-November, Boss Qu went back to Wuyi County to sell Honghu real estate, and I heard that it was because he wanted to accompany Wang Zitai to Beijing to participate in the examination.Lin Fangxu was confused when he heard this, and wondered: What does this have to do with our family?
Lin Fangqin squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: Originally, it didn't matter, but Ai Xiaoya followed them to the capital.After your second brother heard about it, he also made a fuss about going, and I couldn't rest assured, so I delayed for some time.Lin Fangxu had a cold face and asked, "Second brother still went?"
Lin Fangqin replied: Go, the feet grow on him, who can stop him, I arranged for someone to follow, it is a twenty-year-old guy, named Wang Shanli, his younger brother you should have seen, called Wang Shanye.The two also have their parents and sister who stayed in Linjia Village to help take care of the tea mountain.Speaking of Wang Shanyan's family, they still have some relationship with the Lin family.In the early years, during the war and famine, the royal father and queen mother were sold to the Liu family at a very young age, and were sent to work in the tea garden because of their wooden personality.After Aunt Xiao came out of the ground, she put aside Ai Xiaoya and ran a ready-to-wear store on her own, of course she couldn't find a secret prostitute to be a model, and there were not enough maids in the house, so she started the idea of picking tea in the tea garden.Wang Xiaomei just happened to be in her eyes, but how could the Wang family let their little daughter in the palm of their hand show up, naturally they were unwilling.The Wang family had a bad relationship with the main family because of this incident, and the family was driven out of the tea garden and crowded into a shack under the tea mountain.As a result, this is not the end, when Wang Shanyan and the two brothers went to work, they were beaten by Aunt Xiao's son with a little girl.The Wang family had no way out, so they simply ran to the door of Liu's mansion to make trouble, Mrs.
Liu gave some money and punished Aunt Xiao's mother and son, but they didn't know how to arrange the Wang family, it was impossible for the tea garden to let them go back, after all, it was a grudge, and the Liu family really hated Aunt Xiao's mother and son.Later, I didn't know where to find out that Lin Fangqin was buying someone, so he asked his son to find him, explained the cause and effect, and then transferred the Wang family's deed of sale to Lin Fangqin.Lin Fangqin didn't plan to talk about the things behind these things, and said with a smile: Ermu knew that when you didn't go back for the New Year, you cried for a long time.Now I don't want to go to Mengxue every day, I want to go to Qixia Academy, and I will take the exam in the future, and I will go to the capital to find you, which is really nonsense.Lin Fangxu saw that the eldest brother had changed the topic, and he didn't plan to get to the bottom of it, he believed that the eldest brother would handle it well, so he followed him and said: Where is Ermu messing around, isn't this very ambitious, eldest brother, I won't go back to the business mansion today, you tell me about the family, brother-in-law, Mumu, are they okay?
Lin Fangqin's two brothers squeezed a quilt and talked all night, before going to bed, Lin Fangqin couldn't help but advise: You go to the capital, just take care of yourself, don't care about your second brother, although he is not in tune, but he is still a little measured, as for Ai Xiaoya, since she is no longer the wife of the Lin family, then don't care.Lin Fangxu naturally won't care, as long as Ai Xiaoya is not in the Lin family, no matter how deviant she is, it has nothing to do with her.The second brother's words are nothing to worry about, he has been blocking his family for two lifetimes, and he can distinguish the importance outside.Lin Fangxu was about to leave for the capital on the fifteenth, and Lin Fangqin planned to send his younger brother off and then return to Wuyi County.The next morning, the two brothers got up, and after breakfast, they discussed going to visit Hangzhou City together, and before they went out, they saw Jiang Shiwu and the two brothers walking in.As soon as Jiang Shiwu entered the door, he shouted: Little brother Lin, haha, I heard that your eldest brother is here?
Xiaoyun and I came here to visit.Lin Fangxu glanced at Jiang Shiyun, who was following behind, smiled, and introduced to the eldest brother: Big brother, this is the second son of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, and this is the little young man of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an.The two brothers didn't wait for Lin Fangqin to speak, so they greeted politely first, and Jiang Shiwu took the initiative to ask: Do you have any arrangements for Brother Lin to come this time?
Lin Fangqin replied: The main thing is to come to see Brother Xu, and he will go back after sending him off tomorrow, and he plans to go out for a walk today.Jiang Shiwu's eyes lit up, and he said happily: Have you thought of where to go?
If not, let's rent a small painting boat, swim in West Lake, and eat jealous fish.Jiang Shiyun rolled his eyes and said: Second brother, if you want to go, just say it, Brother Lin, you don't have to worry about him.Lin Fangxu smiled and said: Big brother, why don't we go to the West Lake and eat jealous fish, I ate it once during the last Luming banquet, which was quite interesting.Lin Fangqin had nothing to do, so the three of them took a carriage to the West Lake, rented a small painting boat, and the boatman rowed towards the lake with a paddle.Several people sat in the painting boat while drinking tea and chatting, Lin Fangqin took the opportunity to entrust: Brother Xu is still going to the capital for the first time, and I will have to worry about Jiang Gongzi when you take care of it.Jiang Shiwu felt that he was a righteous person, patted his chest and said: Brother Lin, don't worry, with us covering, no one in the capital dares to bully Brother Lin.After speaking, he was afraid that Lin Fangqin would not believe it, so he pulled Jiang Shiyun over, and said proudly: Hmph, Xiaoyun and I fought all over the capital three years ago, and no one dared to provoke us, you can rest assured that Brother Lin will be handed over to us.Lin Fangqin looked at the big guy in front of him, and then at the appearance of his little brother Sven, smiled dryly, and hesitated: Then bother Jiang Gongzi Lin Fangxu glanced at Jiang Shiyun with a smile, with a look on his face, You have also been all over the capital?
Seeing that Jiang Shiyun's face was blushing, he glared at him, and secretly spit on his second brother in his heart, why didn't he find him so naïve before, and his face was all lost by him.Lin Fangqin, the old brother who broke his heart, no matter how uneasy he was, he couldn't help it, it was really the foundation of the Lin family that was too thin to take care of his younger brother, hey, fortunately, his younger brother has always been sensible, and he shouldn't go all over the capital.It can only be said that Lin Fangqin was happy too early, and he will know how bold his younger brother is in the future.Of course, we will talk about it later, so let's have fun at this time.In the winter months, the weather is getting colder and colder, the flowers and plants have already withered, the willow branches on the shore have turned from green to yellow, and the north wind blows, and they begin to dance, and the charming and enchanting movements startle a group of yellow butterflies.The water of Xizi Lake is shining, the mountains in the distance are empty, there are fishermen casting nets not far away, and you can faintly hear the girl in the raccoon humming Wu Nong's tune.In this winter West Lake, Jiang Shiwu kept boasting to Lin Fangqin about how powerful the three of them, especially Lin Fangxu, were, and how the four debates were all about Brother Xu Shige and his cousin.Jiang Shiyun and Lin Fangxu rolled their eyes when they listened, when they debated, Jiang Shiwu often listened to it himself, and he was embarrassed to tell others at this time, so that Lin Fangxu and Jiang Shiyun had to give him supplementary explanations, as if they deliberately borrowed other people's mouths to show off.Lin Fangqin listened with relish, he was not only interested in the debate between the younger brother, but he was more concerned that he found that there seemed to be a different tacit understanding between his younger brother and Jiang Shaolang.This kind of tacit understanding often exists between him and Yueyue, but it is a little different, so that after bidding farewell to the Jiang brothers, Lin Fangqin left his little brother behind and asked: Brother Xu, your brother-in-law and I originally planned to show you the family affairs after you were promoted, but now that you are going to take the exam, I want to ask you what you think.Lin Fangxu didn't think about it, so he said directly: Big brother, I'm not in a hurry to get married, I'll talk about it after I try.Lin Fangqin nodded, a little clear in his heart.Chapter 40 After Lin Fangqin sent his little brother on the boat, he hurried back, there were still many things waiting for him to go back to preside over at home, not to mention anything else, the golden silk tea also needed to be prepared for transplantation.The Lin family prides itself on cultivating and reading a family, what is the real situation, their own family members know in their hearts, they just have some reputation, and they have already been kicked out of the Shilin circle.Most of the younger brothers can be in the Jinshi this time, the Shang and Xu families have nephews in their later generations, and it is already very affectionate and righteous to be able to take care of their little brother by the way, and they dare not ask for anything else, Lin Fangqin is eager to hope that the golden silk tea transplant will be successful, which can provide some help for the younger brother's career.When Lin Fangqin arrived home, Miki was sitting on a small wooden horse in the yard, and said to the little Simu who was guarding next to him: You will no longer call me Father and Father in the future, and I will let you ride the little wooden horse.Where could Simu understand what he said, holding the head of the wooden horse, crying vigorously, Lin Fangqin stepped forward to pick him up, stretched out his hand to wipe the snot and tears on his face.Shiki put his little hands around his neck, and with a crying voice, he shouted softly: Daddy, daddy, brother no, no, no, Miki jumped off the wooden horse, pulled the hem of his father's clothes, tilted his head, and said like a little adult: You can't call daddy, you have to call uncle, hey, really, why are you so stupid, you can't learn.Lin Fangqin looked at the young son with a sad face funny, rubbed his head and said: Forget if my brother can't learn, he is the youngest, do you all have to let him know?
As a good elder brother, Miki is naturally willing to let his younger brother go, but he is still worried: If my younger brother is always so stupid, what if he can't remember his studies in the future?
I can't go to the capital to play with my uncle.Lin Fangqin was stunned for a moment, thinking of Lin Fangming, who might have arrived in the capital at this time, looked at the child in his arms, his eyes were as clear as spring water, and the tip of his nose was a little red from crying, and he was biting his fingers at this time and snuggling in his arms.Lin Fangqin took Simu into his arms again, and said in an inaudible voice: When Simu grows up, as long as he is willing, he can take the career of the economy, run a business and manage general affairs, and even write poems, it doesn't matter if he is idle, he doesn't have to be reluctant, as long as he is happy.Not only did their family worry about Brother Xu, but the elders such as the eldest grandfather and the eldest uncle were also very concerned, Lin Fangqin rested for a while, and then went to the eldest uncle's house, and specially told them about Brother Xu'er's situation, so that the elders could rest assured.When the eldest brother reported safety to his elders, Lin Fangxu had already taken the big ship of the Wu'an Hou Mansion to the Yangzhou border.In the poems of many literati and writers, Yangzhou is depicted as a prosperous fireworks land, but in fact, it is not an exaggeration, and in the last years of the previous dynasty, it was even more extravagant to the point that thousands of adopted daughters taught music first, and ten miles of planting flowers were counted as farming.After the establishment of the new dynasty, Emperor Hongwu was extremely disgusted with extravagance, and the precipitation of the new dynasty for more than 20 years made the land of fireworks slowly find its original face, and became now low-key and introverted, full of economic appearance.Lin Fangxu stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the boats coming and going, he had been to this place in his previous life, and it was the same as now, coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry, the only difference was that the people who accompanied him had more faces.The fresh-faced Jiang Shiyun walked up to the bow of the boat, stood next to him, and asked curiously: What are you looking at?
Lin Fangxu pointed to a place on the other side and asked, "Have you seen those children, and what do you guess they are doing?"
Jiang Shiyun looked in the direction he pointed, and there were five or six children with a total horn, surrounded by a small mound of earth, and the mound was from the inside out, with wisps of cooking smoke wafting from the inside.
