Last night, the cold wind blew all night, and the shallow water in the pool was also covered with thin ice.

The sky is clear, the vision crosses the high courtyard wall and only sees a few wisps of blue-black clouds across the sky, the rooster crows, and the maids and mothers-in-law in the outer wing room also get up one after another, listening to the no movement in the inner wing, and think that the master is going to sleep a little more today, tiptoe to wash, and walk to the moon gate of the book garden and talk to the maids and mothers-in-law who got up early in the other courtyard and whispered about the matter of the seventh lady killing Lin Zhong with a knife.

"Lin Zhong wants to please the second son, but unfortunately he has no eyes" "Lin Xiucai's mother died in exile with the seventh lady's father, and the second son wants to deal with Lin Xiucai, and the seventh lady will definitely not agree." A few days ago, it was said that Lin Xiucai died outside, and I saw the Seventh Lady crying secretly, how many times? "But if you say kill, you will kill, how can the Seventh Lady be so ruthless with a woman's family?" "That's right, if anyone offends her in the future, can't you kill her with a knife?" "What can you do if you kill it, you will be fined twenty taels of silver!" "Then you should be careful not to offend the Seventh Lady, okay? In the Lin family, if Lin Zhong resists the life of the old man, it is not this result, and the life of the second son is not this result, but he wants to pinch the seventh lady as a soft persimmon, not to find death by himself? "Although the Seventh Lady used to be more powerful, she was not such a person." "The seventh lady's own uncle has become a big official, and there is someone behind him to support him, of course he is doing things differently!" "Those of us who are subordinates, just look carefully and look at the eyes."

Here chewing his tongue, seeing that the sky is bright, and he doesn't see the old man in the wing room calling, the careful mother-in-law thinks that the old man has to get up early every day to go around the garden, why don't you see movement today? Disperse the tongue-chewing maids, let them prepare to wait for the master to get up, she walked in with a hand stove and gently pushed open the door of the inner wing, watched the old man sleep soundly, called twice, did not see a reaction, walked in, only to see Lin Tingxun's eyes open obliquely, a pillow of saliva crookedly flowed from the mouth, and the white silk shirt collar was wet/wet.

"Bang!" The copper hand stove in the mother-in-law's hand slipped and smashed on the grinding stone slab, and the charcoal fire with sparks splashed on the ground, startling the hearts of the maids preparing in the outer wing, and they all rushed over to see what was happening

The news of Lin Tingxun's stroke spread all over the mansion in an instant, the eldest lady and the second lady have already passed away, and now the third lady, the biological mother of the second son, Lin Xuzong, is the main room, and the fourth lady, the fifth lady and the sixth lady all rushed over from their respective courtyards when they heard the news, shouting and pouring hot water for the lord to scrub, shouting to prepare a sedan chair to invite Langzhong, shouting to invite the second son and the elders of the clan to come over, in case anything is missing, you can also let the lord leave a few words.

If Lin Tingxun really fell, it would undoubtedly collapse for the Lin family.

In the early morning of the winter of Chongguan 8, the panic in the Lin family's mansion can be imagined, Lin Tingxun's wives and concubines usually live in seclusion, where can they deal with the things in front of them? didn't stand up to preside over the situation, the main room only felt that the sky in their hearts had fallen, but the crying of grief and relatives became the only thing they could do.

Lin Tingxun's entourage Gu Changshun was still lying on the bed, he heard the ladies wailing in the inner house, and he only went at night when the lord was the master, after all, he was already a sixty-six-year-old man, maybe several ladies did not take precautions, but they could see that the lord had been worse than a year in the past few years, and it was a matter of time before he left. Gu Changshun didn't go to the inner house to find out, and even led a horse from the stable to the south bank of Shanglin Creek to report to the second son Lin Xuzong, ran to the garden of Wangxianglou, and almost rushed into the house where Lin Xuzong and Lin Zonghai were discussing, and said breathlessly: "Master, master, he is dead!" ”

Lin Xuzong was speechless there, the giant that had been pressed in his heart for more than ten years was suddenly removed, he was a little at a loss, he subconsciously asked Gu Changshun, "Did anyone go to Huyan to send a letter to Aunt Seven?"

"Not yet, I heard the mourning in the inner house, so I came over to report to the second son."

"You go back quickly, no one is allowed to go to Huyan to report the news, it's really not okay to send someone to block the road from Shanglin to Huyan" Lin Xuzong suddenly had an excitement about the overall situation, and the first thing he thought of was to hide it from the seventh aunt Gu Yingsleeve first, and then inform her that it was not too late to inform her when the matter was a foregone conclusion.

"Second son, do you go to the mansion first, maybe the master will leave something behind?" Lin Zonghai reminded Lin Xuzong with a gloomy face that he shouldn't be so excited.

Lin Zonghai, like Lin Jian and Lin Jingchang, is a child of the Lin family in the side branch, and after being admitted to Wu Xiucai, he was reused by Lin Tingxun, entered the township camp step by step to become the current township camp commander, and married the niece of the eldest lady as his wife, so he was naturally closer to Lin Xuwen, the eldest son born to the eldest lady.

Although the eldest prince Xuwen attacked Menyin and entered the country and became an official in Beijing, it does not mean that Lin Tingxun passed away, and the Lin family will completely fall into the hands of the second son, Lin Xuzong. In fact, Lin Xuzong's handling of affairs in the past few days was completely out of line with the Shuihuai that Lin Zonghai was desperate to follow, and it also made Lin Zonghai worry about the future of the Lin clan.

Lin Xuzong realized that he was a little too carried away, but he acted quickly, and hurriedly changed his sad expression, and said: "Brother Zonghai is right, I should go to the north quickly to see if my father has anything to say."

They rushed to the ferry port to take a boat to the north shore, and rushed to the person sent by the inner house to report the news in a hurry, Lin Xuzong knew that his father had a stroke, and he had already sent someone to invite Langzhong. Lin Xuzong stood at the bow of the boat and was stunned for a while, raised his hand and slapped Gu Changshun in the face fiercely: "You unconscionable brute, my father treats you like a nephew, but you came early in the morning to touch his moldy head and curse him to death!" ”

Lin Zonghai didn't look at him, stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the increasingly lively ferry on the north bank of Shanglin Creek, but just said calmly: "The old man has paralysis, I think it's better to send someone to Huyan to inform the Seventh Lady."

*******************

The Lin family sent someone from Shanglin to Huyan Gu's house to report the news, Gu Yingsleeve was accompanying her aunt Gu and cousin Gu Junxun to have breakfast in the inner house, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked the Zhao family to prepare the carriage and go back to the forest.

Although the Gu family's mansion is dilapidated, it covers a wide area, and when you enter the courtyard at twelve or thirteen, you can also see the bearing of the eunuch family; Gu Wuchen cleared a courtyard and let Lin Jian and Zhou Pu's master and servant stay overnight. Gu Yingsleeve hurriedly prepared the carriage here, Lin Lian also heard the news that Lin Tingxun had a stroke at night and rushed over, looked at Gu Yingsleeve to get into the carriage, and said: "The head of the family is seriously ill, although I have offended the second son, I will go back to visit." ”

Zhou Pu had already led the horse to follow behind, Gu Yingsleeve was slightly stunned, and then said: "I don't know what the chaos is like in the forest, the car is too slow, I still ride back" instructed the Zhao family, the personal maid and the person who reported the news, "You follow in the carriage"

Gu Yingsleeve took the horse from the messenger's hand and stepped up, Lin Jian and Zhou Pu also stepped on the horse respectively, and said goodbye to Gu Wuchen for a while and left the village together. Zhao Hu's mother, Zhao Shi, saved the seventh lady from having something to say to Lin Xiucai in private, she delayed for a while before getting into the carriage and returning to Shanglin with the seventh lady's personal maid Cui'er and the messenger.

"Slow, slow, the horse is running too fast, don't dare to be distracted to talk" Lin Jian asked Gu Yingsleeve to slow down, his riding skills were really enough, and he sat stiffly on the back of the galloping horse, his muscles were tense, and he was afraid that he would be thrown off the horse if he was not careful.

The previous Lin was timid, and he rarely wanted to know the Seventh Lady in depth, and he really didn't understand how Gu Yingsleeve, who was almost no different from Gu Wuchen's little daughter Gu Junxun at this time, survived in the blood-devouring Lin family's mansion and learned this good riding skill?

"Master, I don't know whether this illness is serious or shallow, if it is seriously ill, if you go back, maybe you will be deducted by Lin Xuzong" Gu Yingsleeve slowed down his horse speed and walked side by side with Lin Lian, Zhou Pu hung far behind, enjoying the morning scenery of Iron Curtain Mountain in winter with a relaxed face.

"I know," Lin Jian said, "I want to know, if the head of the family is seriously ill and can't even get up again in the future, what is Sister Yingsleeve's plan?" ”

Gu Yingsleeve was speechless for a while, she had thought about this problem before, but there was a big difference in front of her, who could have known that Lin Jian would change his previous appearance when he came back this time? Only whispered, "You could have stayed and helped me." I felt that it was a little warm and ambiguous to say this, and added, "If you stay and marry a wife and have children, the Lin family will eventually have a place for you." Of course, she knew in her heart that Lin Jian deliberately offended the second son Lin Xuzong and wanted to take advantage of the situation to flee to Jiangning, but she still didn't know why Lin Jian wanted to go to Jiangning, and she always thought that he was for Su Mei, who was famous in Jiangning.

"I have to go to Jiangning, I can't tell Sister Yingsleeve now, it's not that there is any hardship, nor is it a lofty ambition, there is a responsibility that must be borne!" Lin Jian said, seeing that Su Yingsleeve's face was a little unhappy, he said again, "It's not for Miss Su Mei." ”

Listening to Lin Lian's involuntary addition, Gu Ying's face turned red and she scolded: "What kind of tongue are you chewing, I'm your aunt!" The words are thin, and when others hear it, they will drag you to the ancestral hall and cut off your tongue. Those things in Baisha County are all nonsense when Zhao Neng comes back, and you don't need to explain. ”

Lin Lian smiled embarrassedly, obviously it was Gu Yingsleeve who was entangled in saying that he went to Jiangning for Su Mei, he looked at the ridge in the distance, and said: "The few Gu family elders I saw during the banquet yesterday seem to be insufficient, Sister Yingsleeve, who else among the juniors can revive the Gu family?" ”

"Why do you ask?"

"If I help the Lin family, I will only become a pawn of the Lin family, I will help the Gu family, and I always have to be free," Lin Jian said.

"See how you can help." Gu Yingsleeve lifted the hair that was blown away by the wind behind her ears, glanced at Lin Bin, and felt that Lin Bin, who came back this time, was full of mystery, Zhou Pu's origin was also a mystery, and those foreign horse dealers were also fascinated.

"Maybe you should let Zhao Hu stay and help you," Lin Jian said, "The head of the family is in his last years, and even if he doesn't die, he will only be able to breathe for a few days, although Lord Gu will support you, but if you want to do something in the Lin family, you need someone around you who can call you." ”

Gu Yingsleeve raised her eyebrows and thought about it, and was silent for a long time; Lin Jian beckoned Zhou Pu to come over.

Gu Yingsleeve raised her head again and asked Lin Bin: "I killed someone yesterday, what do you think of me?" ”

"Am I so ignorant?" Lin Jian asked with a smile, and when he saw Gu Yingsleeve's serious expression, he said to her seriously, "I have also killed people in Baisha County, and I have killed more than one or two, and I can't live if I don't kill people, so I will become like this when I come back this time." Zhou Ye also kills. ”

"But I'm a woman." Gu Yingsleeve said that although she was calm and calm in front of the Gu family, she had been entangled in this matter in her heart.

"What kind of murder are you! This world is not only about killing, but simply about cannibalism, either you eat him, or he eats you, what cruelty are you talking about? I've seen real people eat people, too. Chongguan five years, Huaishang drought, to June did not rain a drop, that year spring wheat grains were not harvested, people died, there were people with others to change the baby to cook and eat. When the four girls met one, they also killed and snatched the baby back, the baby was hungry for too long, and he didn't save him" Zhou Pu poked his head over with a hideous face and talked about the past.

What Zhou Pu said was a hardship that Gu Yingsleeve had not yet experienced, and her face turned pale when she heard it.

"If you agree," Lin Jian said, "I will leave sixty horses for you for the kind of good horses I saw in the mule and horse market yesterday, and leave seven more for you, although these seven people may not all have the courage to be one to ten, but I am always not afraid to kill two or three people, I don't want to help you, I want you to help me, I hope to help me clear their identity, and replace the horses with boats, and replace them with boats that can sail on the Yangtze River and sail into the offshore sea." ”
