Chapter 9 Follow-up

Seeing that Zhao Hu and his mother seemed to have made up their minds, Lin Jian habitually touched his nose and said: "Aunt Zhao, my parents died when I was ten years old, and it was all up to my neighbors to take care of me, Aunt Zhao, you treat me like a nephew, you don't need to say it, what's the benefit, I won't forget Aunt Zhao's family, it's just that my ability is limited at this time and I can't take care of it...... Aunt Zhao, since you insist on this, Zhao Hu doesn't feel wronged, so let's go to the county tomorrow to file a document and change his nationality. However, Zhao Hu doesn't have to go to Jiangning with me, Meizi, Zewa, and Dongwa are not yet adults, and they still need Zhao Hu to stay and take care of them. ”

Zhao is naturally happy, it is said that Zhao Hu is going to take the moon silver when he follows Lin Tie, he really followed him to Jiangning, those moon silver is enough for his own expenses, and the family can't take care of it at all, Lin Tie doesn't want Zhao Hu to follow him, Zhao Hu can at least two laborers if he stays at home, plus he can avoid all kinds of additional assignments, and the previous tight days can be relaxed immediately, so how can she be unhappy?

Zhao Hu and his father went to the old house happily, Lin Jingchang also left with a slight heart, Zhao Hu was silent at the beginning, and only after the people were dispersed did he question Lin Bin: "Since you promised me to be a follower, you want to go to Jiangning, why don't you let me follow?" I'm not happy to take advantage of this cheapness! ”

Zhou Pu sat on the stool on the side, looking at Zhao Hu with a smile and questioning Lin Bin, he liked Zhao Hu's straightforward temperament, it depended on how Lin Tie made up his mind.

Lin Jian looked at Zhao Hu, knowing that he was trustworthy, and asked, "Do you really want to go to Jiangning with me?" ”

"I think I always have some strengths, how can I only take advantage of you?" Zhao Hu said angrily, "Besides, if you go to Jiangning, you don't need to be taken care of by your own people?" ”

In Zhao Hu's opinion, Lin Tie would definitely use Zhou Pu as his entourage, and he would also let Zhou Pu go to Jiangning with him, and he felt that his status in Lin Tie's heart was not as good as that of this foreigner, and he was angry.

"......" Lin Jian laughed and said, "I know you have a lot of strength and have practiced boxing and kicking, do you want to ask Zhou Ye for a lesson or two?" You should also be able to see that Zhou Ye has practiced two hands. ”

"Come, come, don't be afraid to bully me for being old with my strong body," Zhou Pu knew that Lin Lian had made up his mind, and walked over with a smile, "Let's take a hand......" Zhou Pu also learned to play martial arts in his early years, and after half a lifetime, he no longer has a routine for his fists and feet, and he only fights with his hands.

Zhao Hu thought that after Lin Tie met the bandits, he wanted to collect two retinues who had the ability to protect him, and he didn't notice that Lin Tie's name for Zhou Pu had changed, he knew that Zhou Pu said "take a hand" was the meaning of the move, he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and said: "That's okay, ......" The right hand was clenched into a fist and bent forward to ask Zhou Pu to make a move first. Zhou Pu's wrist leaned over, and he was about to grab it as soon as he flipped his wrist, and his movements were as fast as lightning. Zhao Hu was startled, he thought at first that Zhou Pu was strong, but he couldn't dodge it when he was surprised, so he held Zhou Pu's wrist. Zhou Pu didn't change his tricks to lock his throat or seal his eyes, and directly pressed down to test to see if Zhao Hu had the strength to see if he was stiff or not. Zhao Hu has a lot of strength, and his wrist strength is also strong, seeing Zhou Pu competing with him, he was happy, but he didn't have enough strength, but unexpectedly, Zhou Pu's wrist shook back, and he pinched his palm into a fist and directly beat him in the chest. Zhao Hu received this blow to the chest, retreated three or four steps in a row and almost fell back, and his chest was closed for a while before he gasped.

Only then did Zhao Hu know that his two tricks were not in the eyes of others at all, so he was stunned, and he didn't know what to say.

"How?" Lin Jian asked with a smile, seeing that Zhao Hu looked a little depressed, he said, "You now know that Zhou Ye is not an ordinary homeless person who fled from northern Hebei." Asking Zhou Ye to give you a hand is not to dampen your spirit-since you insist on going to Jiangning with me, there are some things that you have to know, so you have to keep your mouth shut, and even Jingchang can't say it. ”

Zhao Hu's temperament is a little rough, and most of the others will hesitate at this time, he only asked: "Is there anything else you can't say to others?" This tone sounded like Jiang Ning had a big hole waiting for him, and he jumped into it with Lin Jian without hesitation, not so much that his temperament was rough, but that he trusted Lin Jian very deeply, and only said, "I only know that your return this time has changed a lot from the past." ”

"Of course there will be some changes, you don't really think that I can escape so easily when I encounter robbers in Baisha County? Most of what I said today with Lu Jiaoyu and Master Chen is made up. Some things are a bit appalling to say, and it's better not to say them for the time being, so as not to worry everyone. But if you insist on going to Jiangning with us, you will always see and hear something in the future, and you just need to know these things in your heart, and you can't leak them out. There is always a lot of trouble for something to leak out. Lin Jian said that since he wanted to take Zhao Hu with him, although he would not tell him all the inside information now, some words must be said thoroughly to avoid him accidentally making mistakes.

"I know this, I'm not a three-year-old child...... Zhao Hu said.

"Enze and Zhou Ye learn boxing and kicking, and also learn knives, you can also ask Zhou Ye to give you a guide or two." Lin Jian said.

"Then Master Zhou can accept me as an apprentice?" Zhao Hu was very enthusiastic about this matter, and turned around and asked Zhou Pu.

Lin Jian also pushed the boat along the water and said, "It's hard work Master Zhou." ”

"What I know is just a little trick, what Brother Lin learned is the art of killing, Zhao Hu, how can you throw watermelons and pick up sesame seeds?" Zhou Pu said.

"What murderous technique? I'm just a bit of a change of power born out of a Jedi," Lin Jian didn't want Zhao Hu to feel how much he had changed, so he lightly revealed what had happened in the past ten months, and said, "Speaking of killing people, there is no more skill than a knife soldier." One person is brave, it is difficult to reach ten old soldiers, the art of swords, not in the sword. Zhao Hu, you also once had more than a dozen subordinates, so you should have a little understanding of the art of swordsmanship. In this regard, Zhou Ye also has something to teach you...... Maybe you can fight for military merit in the future. ”

If you become a domestic slave, you will enter the lowly nationality, even if you leave the country in the future, there will be strict restrictions on the participation of several generations of people and even children and grandchildren in the imperial examination and entering the official career, but in this dynasty, in order to reward military merits, there is no such restriction for lowly people to accumulate merit in the army, and they can even fight for military merit and glory to their ancestors.

Zhao Hu thought that since he recognized Zhou Pu as his master, he said that he and Chen Enze couldn't squeeze through the shop with Zhou Pu, and they had to make another bed on the floor of the west wing to comply with the rules, but he kicked Zhou Pu: "Where are there so many broken rules?" ”

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

Zhao Hu, Zhou Pu, and Chen Enze all went to the west wing room to rest, and after a while, the sound of snoring came over, one after another, even if there were two doors in the middle, it was noisy and difficult for Lin Jian to sleep.

Lin Lian was already thinking about it, in the early winter, it was not too cold to say that it was cold, the window was open to sleep, looking at the moonlight in front of the bed like frost, Lin Lian was thinking about the affairs of the Lin family in his heart. He knew that if he proposed to go to Jiangning, the Seventh Lady would be very disappointed, but there was no way, Changshan Island couldn't afford to delay time.

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

Early the next morning, Zhao Hu took a mule cart to send Lin Lian, Zhou Pu, and Chen Enze to the county before telling his mother the decision that "Lin Lian will go to Jiangning and he will also go to Jiangning", Zhao didn't say anything, and after Zhao Hu and the others left, she also went to the Lin family's mansion to help. The Zhao family also thought about it again and again last night, it was good for Zhao Hu to stay, but maybe Lin Hu would have a big future in the future, so Zhao Hu would also have a future by his side, and the meaning of the Seventh Lady was also to hope that Zhao Hu could follow Lin Lian.

Zhao rushed to the Lin family's mansion, someone was setting a carriage in front of the gate, it was the person next to the second son, Zhao pondered that the second son was going to go out in the morning, she cautiously walked in from the side door.

Everyone in the mansion knows that there is a pimple between the second son and the seventh lady, and he was invited by the seventh lady to the Lin family to help, and the Zhao family is usually careful to avoid the second son, so as not to be reprimanded for no reason.

The Lin family is quite considerate to their subordinates, and the treatment is also generous, not just anyone can come in to help, even if the Zhao family has a spicy temperament, she is just a village woman from the Zhuang family, but after the seventh lady entered the Lin family, she was designated to enter the house to serve, and the Zhao family had the opportunity to enter the mansion to help.

The Zhao family later learned that the Seventh Lady couldn't let go of the idea of taking care of Lin Bin, but as soon as she entered the Lin family, the battle between cold guns and arrows in the mansion was fierce, and the six ladies were jealous of her, waiting for her to show what tricks to make a good joke, she naturally couldn't directly take care of a child of the Lin family who was already very estranged from her own family. When Lin Jian grew into a fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-grown son, the seventh lady was a beautiful and upright young woman, and her status in the Lin family was unstable, so she naturally had to be more evasive. After the Seventh Lady entered the Lin family, she invited the Zhao family to the mansion to help, and the Zhao family was more enthusiastic to take care of Lin Jian as their own nephew, and others only regarded Zhao's face as kind and kind, and would not think of the seventh lady's head.

"The Seventh Lady is really kind to this child," Zhao secretly thought in her heart, in her mind, Lin Jian was still a child, "Poor this child is really temperamental, I don't know how hard the Seventh Lady has worked all these years, not to mention staying to help the Seventh Lady, inexplicably thinking about going to Jiangning, could it be that Jiangning's sassy fox spirit really fascinated his mind?" ”

The Zhao family rushed to the front yard of the Lin family director, today is the day to read the accounts, the seventh lady has already looked at the accounts there, and the seven or eight account gentlemen are all standing together in silence, and two of them have ugly faces, probably reprimanded. The seventh lady, Gu Yingsleeve, saw Zhao enter the courtyard, threw the account in her hand on the table, and only said: "I'll come to see ...... after lunch" and asked Zhao to go to the cuiyuan behind her.

The Zhao family told the Seventh Lady about Lin Bin's disposal of the old house at the end of the village last night.

Seventh Lady Gu Yingsleeve nodded and said: "Lin Jian will be a man when he comes back this time, I originally wanted to persuade him not to fight with Zhao Guisheng's family, and to leave a good reputation in Shanglin, which is more important than anything else, but I didn't expect him to do it properly...... Did he agree that Zhao Hu would follow him?"

"Xiucai agreed to let Zhao Hu follow him, but somehow, he wanted to go to Jiangningli and didn't plan to stay in Shanglindu...... Zhao said.

"He's made up his mind......" Seventh Lady Gu Yingsleeve frowned slightly, Orr, the beautiful eyebrows like green mountains were flattened, but she sighed slightly and said to the Zhao family, "He should also have his opinion, I will go to the lake tomorrow, you wait for him to come back and talk to him." ”
