After experiencing this incredible scene, those troublemakers and stewards did not have the courage to make trouble, plus Lin Jue gave ten taels of silver each for medical expenses, telling them that if they felt unconvinced, they would go to the government with them to do official business, where would those people still have the slightest idea of making trouble. Go to the government with the Lin family? Are you kidding? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble? The backer is gone, the masterminds of the troublemakers have fallen, what is the trouble?

These people took the silver and walked away, and the regret in their hearts was indescribable. If I knew that this was the case today, I shouldn't have followed the two sons of the long house to make trouble. The Lin family has been turned upside down, and the head of the family, Lin Boyong, has fallen in a daze, and no one can really think that today will be such an ending.

Lin Boyong is gone, Lin Song and Lin Run are gone, and the shopkeepers who made trouble are gone. The ship's compound suddenly became deserted and quiet. Several servants with large brooms swept the yard with scattered shoes and hats, torn clothes, and splattered blood. After sprinkling the sand and sweeping, everything was gone, and the yard was quickly restored to neatness and cleanliness.

Lin Bonian and Lin Jue's uncle and nephew stood on the steps of the ship hall, and they both looked at the busy servants in the courtyard and were silent.

"Lin Jue, I'm uneasy. He's my big brother after all, and ...... today It is really difficult for us to calm our hearts when we treat him like this. Lin Bonian sighed and said softly.

"Second uncle, don't think about it too much, the emotions between the family members may be remedy, but once the Lin family goes astray, it will be difficult to turn back." Lin Jue said softly.

"What you said is very true, you and I have to work hard, and we can't make people see jokes. You and I have to bear the burden of words for today's events, and the pressure is great. If in my hands, the Lin family has nothing to do, then it will really be laughed at. I'm afraid the big brother is also waiting to see our jokes. Lin Bo stroked the finger on the head of the house.

Lin Jue smiled, shook his head and said: "Uncle will understand, he is not a person who ignores the overall situation, but today he really didn't expect this to be the case, and he must be very angry in his heart." But time bridges everything, and one day, he will understand. But what the second uncle said is right, from today on, the Lin family must have a new atmosphere, and everything needs to be changed. The second uncle should be ready. ”

Lin Bonian said in a deep voice: "The heavy responsibility is on my shoulders, and I can't shirk my responsibility. But it can't be done by relying on the strength of the second uncle alone, Lin Jue, you have to remember your promise to me. I am optimistic about you, you have to do your best to help me, the heavy responsibility of the Lin family is not only on me, but also on you. If you and I can't make a big difference in the Lin family, then today's incident will be a stain on you and me, and it will never be washed away. ”

Lin Jue was silent, raised his head and looked over the fence into the distance. In the distance, in the foggy and confused smoke willows, the pavilion red sky disappeared. Under the scorching sun and blue sky, the hot air on the wharf was churning, the flow of people was like a tide, and the sweaty coolies who were shirtless and tanned were like ants carrying goods up and down, and the shouting and trumpeting sound resounded all around.

Everything in heaven and earth continued to run in his own way, and what happened to the Lin family just now was just a small speck of dust, as if it had never happened.

……

Back in time, on the afternoon of the day when Lin Ke went to Lin Jue's courtyard to test the wind, Lin Bonian, who was invited to the banquet by Hangzhou General Judge Zhang Yi, returned to the Lin Mansion drunk. Hangzhou sentenced Zhang Yi to be the younger brother of his top boss, the third envoy Zhang Jun, and this banquet was indeed inevitable.

was poured a lot of wine by Zhang Yi, Lin Bonian was a little dizzy, on the one hand, although he had only returned to Hangzhou for two days, he had already drunk several wines. As I get older, my body really can't bear it. The weather in Hangzhou is unbearably hot, much more difficult than the summer temperature in Beijing. Therefore, Lin Bonian, who was quite tired, returned to his former residence, ordered his entourage to move a bamboo chair under the shade of a tree, and lay in the small courtyard to sleep beautifully after drinking.

But just when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, his subordinates came to report that Lin Jue, the son of the third room, had come to ask for a meeting. Lin Bonian immediately got up when he heard this, he was just about to find this mysterious young man to talk to, he took the initiative to see him, wouldn't it be right. So he went into the house and washed his face with cold water to make himself sober, and when he came to the porch again, Lin Jue had already been led into the courtyard.

Looking at Lin Jue, who was wearing a moon-white robe and wearing a square scarf under the scorching sun, Lin Bonian's face was piled up. He seemed to see his own shadow from Lin Jue's body. Decades ago, I was like this, young and handsome, wearing a long shirt and studying all day long, for a dream of entering the office. The current Lin Jue seems to be the same.

It's just that Lin Bonian quickly came to his senses, and he knew that he might not be able to compare with the young man in front of him. Although the young man in front of him seems to be a weak scholar, what he does, the energy in his body is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Second uncle is good. Nephew Lin Jue gave the second uncle a salute. Lin Jue hurriedly came to the porch and bowed.

"Hehehe, it's Lin Jue. No need to be polite, come in and sit. Lin Bonian said with a smile.

"My nephew is abrupt, I heard that the second uncle is resting, I'm afraid it's not the right time for my nephew to come." Lin Juedao.

"I do have a habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, but it is necessary to ensure energy for official business. At the moment, at home, and there is no official trouble, what are you afraid of? Besides, I was just going to talk to you, but you happened to be here. Lin Bonian stroked his beard and smiled.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "In this way, my second uncle and I coincide. I also have a lot to say to my second uncle. ”

"So what are you waiting for? Come into the house and talk. Come on, make tea. Lin Bonian commanded with a smile.

The uncle and nephew entered the house and sat down, and the servant put the tea on the table and bowed back. Lin Bonian smiled and said, "Lin Jue, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Lin Jue said: "The second uncle said first, and the nephew said later." Didn't the second uncle say that he would also talk to me? ”

Lin Bonian smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll talk first." Well...... That's right, I live in the capital and don't know much about my family. Occasionally, I heard about it from the letters with the head of the family and from Lin Ke when they escorted Cao Yun to Beijing every year. But in fact, what we know is only a few words. It's a shame to say that I am entangled in official affairs, I can't help myself, and I rarely ask about the affairs of my family, and I don't care enough about you people who are in the inner and outer rooms of your nephews. Especially for you and Lin Quan, your father died early, and I haven't given you two nephews too much care in the past ten years. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "The second uncle doesn't need to say that, it's not easy for the second uncle to be in the capital, and we are actually doing well at home." With the head of the family taking care of us, and the Lin family as a backer, although my father is gone, we are not difficult. ”

Lin Bonian looked at Lin Jue and said, "Are you really doing well?" I don't think so. Lin Jue, the head of the family told me about some things about you yesterday. I've known everything you've done for more than a year. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Every single piece? I don't believe it. ”

Lin Bonian frowned and said, "What are these words, will the head of the family still hide it from me?" Well, from that time on, you seemed like a different person. After that, Lin Quan's affairs are your hands and feet. There is also the matter of Steward Huang catching the traitor and catching the wrong Zhang Yanei, this is all your design, right? There are also two bandits, but the head of the family didn't hide it from me. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "It seems that the head of the family has indeed told the second uncle." The head of the family must not have a high opinion of me. He must have been upset with me. ”

Lin Bonian smiled and didn't answer. Naturally, when Lin Boyong talked about Lin Jue's things, his words naturally revealed that he was mostly dissatisfied. Because this three-room concubine really gave him a headache. When talking to Lin Bonian about these things, he couldn't help but complain for days. But Lin Bonian would not reveal this in front of Lin Jue, he didn't want Lin Jue to know the attitude of the head of the family.

Lin Jue smiled: "I know if the second uncle doesn't say it." These things have actually passed, and I don't agree with what the second uncle said about designing these words. I don't know if the head of the family has explained the ins and outs, but if the second uncle is interested, I can tell the second uncle the ins and outs of these things. ”

"Okay, it's okay left and right, I'll listen to the story too, you name it." Lin Bonian crossed his arms and leaned back in the chair and smiled.

Lin Jue nodded, recalled it for a while, and started from that court training, including Lin Youde's affairs, including Xu Zimao's troubles for himself. and even the contradictions between himself and Lin Quan because of the green dance, and even Lin Quan's desire to do bad things to him. After that, Huang Changqing took revenge on himself and followed himself to catch his handle. Lin Jue did not shy away from the fact that he did play a trick with the people in Wangyue Tower, designed Huang Changqing, and let Huang Changqing catch Zhang Yanei's affairs.

Lin Jue has never told anyone about the details of these things, but in the face of Lin Bonian, Lin Jue did not hide it at all, and even his mood and thoughts at that time were frankly revealed.

Lin Bonian was dumbfounded when he heard this, the version in Lin Jue's mouth was very different from the version Lin Boyong said. In Lin Boyong's mouth, Lin Jue's act of defending Lin Youde in court training that day was a rebellious act, with the purpose of buying people's hearts. The revenge on Lin Quan was even more deliberately embarrassing to himself, and he broke out in broad daylight. Huang Changqing's matter is even said to be using Huang Changqing to express his dissatisfaction with himself. The two are saying the same thing, but they don't seem to be the same thing, because they say very differently.
