After eating in the restaurant in Shanglindu, Lin Lian and others went to Zhao Hu's house, the previous Lin Lian was purely a nerd, except for the Lin family and the villagers of Shanglin Village, there was almost no relationship in Shiliang County, Zhou Pu and Chen Enze settled down to naturalize, and Lin Jingchang and Zhao Hu helped run errands.

Zhao Hu has been a small leader in the township camp for two years, and he has opened his eyes, and he and Lin Jingchang are not mountain villagers who are timid and ignorant of the world. The township camp controlled by the Lin family also often recruits some outsiders, and Zhao Hu knows a little about settling down and naturalization. Lin Jingchang failed to gain fame in the exam, and went to the Lin family's warehouse as an account office, holding back a lot of energy in his heart. Although he is not very valued by his family, but he spent twelve points of thought and energy to go in, and his knowledge and mind are much deeper than Zhao Hu's, when he was eating in the restaurant, Lin Jingchang told Lin Tie how to settle down for naturalization, who to find, and how to send money to Lin Tie...... Zhao Hu doesn't have anything particularly important, why don't you let Zhao Hu take Xiu before you go to a few key people's houses? ”

Lin Bin, Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu, Lin Jingchang and others returned to Zhao Hu's house from the restaurant, and some people had been waiting for him at Zhao Hu's house for a long time, but it was Lu Dongyang, the county school teacher of Shiliang County, and Chen Ling, the county chief bookkeeper, who came to visit the door accompanied by two officials from the yamen, and the chief of Shanglin was also at Zhao Hu's house.

Although Lin Jian was a student in Lin Jiayi's school, he was admitted to Xiucai in the year when Lu Dongyang went to Shiliang County to serve as a teacher, and he was nominally a disciple of Lu Dongyang's disciples.

Seeing Lu Dongyang waiting at Zhao Hu's house, Lin Lianzuo said, "Why is the teacher here?" ”

“…… Let's come to look for you," Lu Dongyang looked at Lin Jian for a moment before talking about the reason why he came over with Chen Ling, the county master, "After the robbery in Baisha County, it alarmed the Xuanfu Envoy, and the case has not yet been concluded, but thanks to the testimony of Zhao Neng, a servant of the Lin family, and Baisha County, the Xuanfu Envoy is convinced that you died in the robbery." Before noon, the fast horse in the forest sent a message to the county office, saying that you are returning by boat today, this matter must not be sloppy, and Liang Zhi County sent me to verify with Chen Ling. All the encounters that you have suffered after you have escaped from the robbers, please explain them to Master Chen one by one, the county needs to explain this matter to the Xuanfu envoy Si Xingwen, and I came here to be a witness......"

"Of course, the teacher and Master Chen are not here, and I plan to go to the county tomorrow to discuss this matter in detail." Lin Jian replied, inviting Lu Dongyang, Chen Ling and others to enter and repeat the carefully fabricated lie.

It is said that Su Mei's influence is far greater than that of him, who has just been lifted, but the Baisha County robbery involving Su Mei only needs Baisha County to inform Jiangning Mansion that there is a division, but the robbery involves a person who has just passed the first place, and it will alarm the Jiangdong Xuanfu Envoy, but it is only alarming. Now Lu Dongyang and the county chief bookkeeper personally came to verify Lin Lian's return to Shanglin Village, there is nothing surprising, after all, the matter has alarmed the Xuanfu Envoy, and if something goes wrong, Shiliang County will not be able to go down.

Perhaps the county was more afraid that the Lin family would launch an impostor "Lin Tie" to come out, so they let Lu Dongyang, the county school teacher who had met Lin Tie a few times, come to the door to verify it.

After Lu Dongyang confirmed with Chen Ling, the county chief bookkeeper, that Lin Jian was his own, he was not particularly concerned about what happened to Lin Jian in the past ten months, and after a little recording, he asked Lin Jian to write a statement by himself, drew the charge, and hurried back to the county. Regarding Zhou Pu's help to save people, Lu Dongyang and Chen Ling both said that the county should be rewarded, and as for Zhou Pu and Chen Enze's nephew and uncle to settle down in Shiliang County and become naturalized, this matter has the guarantee of Lin Bin, and Lin Bin's followers are lowly registrations, so naturally there is no problem.

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

I didn't go to the restaurant for dinner at night, so I set up a table of wine in the hall of Zhao Hu's new house, pork face meat, roast chicken, braised fish and a few kinds of sparse vegetables, and bought two jars of wine from the restaurant, which were a little sour. The wine, tea, salt and iron of this dynasty were all monopolized by the government, and the government extracted too much wine tax, and the good wine was unusually expensive, and the villagers drank wine, even if it was just bad wine.

Zhao Hu's father is an honest man who can't beat a stuffy fart with a stick, he can only fiddle with the crops, and he didn't say a word on the wine table, just pinched the edge of the wine bowl with his fingers and pursed his lips in small sips, reluctant to swallow in a big gulp.

There are guests, Zhao Hu and his three younger siblings are not qualified to sit at the table, they all rushed to the old house to eat, and the meat was entertained to Lin Lian, they could only pick a few vegetables to eat, or Lin Lian took half a bowl of meat and tore half a chicken after entering the banquet to send them over, watching them can't wait to gobble up, it's really sad.

Zhao Hu and his mother have been working as a maid in the mansion all these years, helping the Seventh Lady to do things, she has seen some of the world, and she is more like the head of the family in the Zhao family, and Zhao Hu's mother has the idea of anything in the Zhao family. According to the rules, women and children are not allowed to sit at the banquet at home, and the Zhao family is also a well-behaved woman, so she stood at the wine table and chased after Zhao Hu to make a follower for Lin Bin, in her opinion, such a good opportunity could not be easily given up.

"This is the matter, I am going to Jiangning, I will not stay in Dongyang......" Lin Tie said, knowing that Zhao Hu should have discussed with his family about doing things with him for so long, thinking that he should be reluctant to ask for himself for the sake of face, even so, Lin Tie still wanted to plan their thoughts.

"......" Zhao was stunned, she didn't ask Lin Tie what she was going to do in Jiangning if she didn't stay in Dongyang, and after hesitating for a while, she couldn't decide whether to let Zhao Hu go to Jiangning with her, which was different from what she thought at the beginning.

At this moment, the dog in the yard barked, and I vaguely heard a woman's voice shouting on the other side of the old house: "Is Zhao Hu's nephew here?" Xiucai is not there? ”

Lin Jian didn't know who was looking for him, and after a while, he heard Zhao Hu and his sister Meizi greeting someone from the old mansion: "It turned out to be Aunt Lan and Uncle Gui Sheng, what are you doing looking for my brother and Brother Xiucai?" They're in the next yard, and I'll take you there. ”

The earth dog in the courtyard barked incessantly, and I don't know who kicked it again, and with a sad scream, he whimpered and followed the visitor into the hall.

Lin Guisheng saw that it was Lin Guisheng and his wife who occupied his old house, and Lin Guisheng put a blanket on his shoulders (an opening in the middle, a long bag containing things on both sides), and the chain looked bulging and heavy, and he didn't know what it contained. Lin Jian pulled the stool out and beckoned Lin Guisheng to sit down: "Uncle Guisheng, come and sit, drink a bowl of wine first, and I'll write a document to you later, Zhao Hu and Xiao Wu will come to testify, you can rest assured that you can live in the old mansion in the future......"

Lin Guisheng hadn't touched meat for half a year, looking at the shallow half bowl of meat in the bowl on the table, his eyes were glowing green, he was originally a timid and afraid person, but his body involuntarily moved forward, and he pulled his wife hard in the back, only to wake up and stop his feet, and sneered: "Xiucai is polite, you are now a man, how can I be qualified to sit next to you?" There are no rules at all, ......" held the heavy blanket on his shoulders in his hand and handed it forward, and said cautiously, "I don't know how much the old house is worth, I'll get these for the time being, Xiucai, you give me a quasi-number, I'll send it to you in two days, I hope you can tolerate my family for two days......"

"......" Lin Jian was slightly stunned, feeling that he should have made his words clear in the morning, and said with a smile, "I didn't eat at Uncle Guisheng's house when I was a child, Uncle Guisheng, are you joking with me?" ”

"How dare I joke with Xiucai? I knocked on the door of seventeen or eighteen houses today, and I really borrowed these, if I hid a copper, I would not be a person, you say a quasi, how much is still missing, I will definitely make up for you in two days; Or will you take back the old mansion? Lin Guisheng cried and almost pleaded, and the wrinkles on his face were like the roots of an aged elm tree.

Lin Jian suddenly felt that something was blocked in his heart, and he also felt unusually heavy in his heart, stood up, took the purse purse in Lin Guisheng's hand, and pressed his hand very much, almost weighing hundreds of catties.

The township rarely uses silver, all copper, the official family stipulates that 1,000 yuan is exchanged for one or two silver, in fact, silver is expensive and copper, one or two silver can usually be exchanged for 1,200 to 1,400 yuan, this purse is filled with hundreds of catties of copper coins, which is seven or eight taels of silver, but for Lin Guisheng's family, which was originally a broken settlement in the clan, it is a great wealth, and it is really hard to imagine how many good things he said this day before borrowing this money.

It is said that the three old mansions at the end of the village plus the homestead are not worth seven or eight taels of silver, but Lin Guisheng stood there cautiously and did not dare to say enough; They couldn't believe that Lin Tie was going to give the house to them for nothing, and they even thought that they had offended Lin Tie by occupying the old mansion at the end of the village, so they let Lin Tie say something like that.

Lin Tie put the bulging purse on the corner of the table, he knew that really giving the old house to Lin Guisheng's family for nothing might not allow them to live in it with peace of mind, so he took out two copper coins strung with fine hemp rope from the purse, and said to Lin Jingchang: "Xiao Wu, you go and get a pen and paper, and please ask the two clan elders to come over and testify." I am willing to transfer the old house at the end of the village to Lin Guisheng's family for 2,000 yuan, and make a death deed, and never destroy ......"

"Great!" Lin Jingchang stood up and left, Zhao Hu's house didn't have paper, pen, inkstone, and ink, so he had to go home to get it.

"How is this good, how is this good...... Lin Guisheng and his family saw that Lin Lian said it neatly, and asked Jingchang to ask the clan elder to testify, only to believe that it was true, knowing that the old house at the end of the village was far more than two hanging money, and wanted Lin Lian to earn all these coppers, but most of these coppers were borrowed, and they may not be able to pay off for ten years, their hearts were excited, and they didn't know how to express it in words, they couldn't say a complete sentence in their mouths, and their eyes were filled with tears.

Zhao Hu brought a bowl and poured a bowl of wine for Lin Guisheng, waited for a while, Lin Jingchang took a pen and paper, inkstone and invited two respected clan elders to testify, the two clan elders heard Lin Jingchang say the reason on the road, as soon as they entered the house, they praised Lin Tie for his kindness and did not forget his roots, and said to Lin Guisheng and his wife: "That house is an auspicious house, and he has become a master after a show, needless to say that two hanging money, that is, twenty hanging money, there are people rushing to buy, the kindness of the master, you must remember ...... "Lin Tie immediately wrote the deed of selling the house and the house, and asked the clan old to draw a witness, Let Lin Guisheng and his wife take away the deed and the extra copper coins.

Interrupted this matter, it was almost midnight to send Lin Guisheng and his wife away with the clan elders, and those leftovers were also cleaned up by Zhao Hu's sister Meizi, and Lin Jian still wanted to wait for Zhao Hu's parents to go to bed after going to the old house. Zhao Hu's mother seemed to have made a big decision, and said before leaving: "You go to Jiangning, Zhao Hu will naturally go to Jiangning with you-" That means that no matter where Lin Hu goes, she has made up her mind to let her son Zhao Hu follow Lin Hu as an entourage.
