Stayed in Shanglin for three days, April 26 was the day when Zhao Hu married the daughter of the Guo family, and the wedding team beat gongs and drums early, and set off mightily. Lin Jian set up his own door, he was the head of the family, and when the welcoming team came back, he would also accept the newcomer's gift with Zhao Hu's father. Lin Tie didn't know much about many cumbersome etiquettes, and he was dizzy when he heard it, but although the Zhao family was a small portal in Shanglin, there was also an old man in charge, and Lin Tie just obeyed his orders.

Zhao Hu's wedding room was arranged in the new courtyard, the flowing water mat was placed in the old courtyard, and a pergola was built; Lin Jian went to Zhao's house before noon, had a banquet at noon, and temporarily settled in the new courtyard to rest.

Outside the new yard is the wheat field, Lin Jian stood in the courtyard wall and talked to Cao Ziang and Zhou Pu, looking at the wheat in the wheat field outside the courtyard wall, and said regretfully: "Xiaoman has just passed, the wheat grains in Dongyang have begun to tassel and fill, and there are more than ten days to harvest, and after the wheat is harvested, it is a pity to plant rice......

Cao Ziang knew what Lin Jian meant, and the situation crisis in Hongzepu would break out before the wheat harvest was completed.

It has been ten days since Li Zhuo officially took office, Qin Chengbo has completed the handover with him, Lin tied them in Shanglin, and received news from Jiangning twice a day, the Qin family is moving out of the garrison general's mansion in the past two days, most of them have already lived on the ship, and the Qin family's first pathfinder has set off from Jiangning.

In these years, the rogue is rampant, and it will not be absolutely safe to go any way, and Qin Chengbo also knows that the huge wealth he has collected in Jiangning is coveted by the rogues. In addition to the four or five hundred elite warriors in his own family, Lin Tie and they got the news that Qin Chengbo also hired two hundred military guards with Jiangning Wufeng Dart Company with a lot of money, and the people and horses sent by the Qin family to explore the road were also divided into two routes, all the way to Weiyang, and all the way to Hongzepu, which made people unable to figure out the truth. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow morning, the Qin family's fleet will set off from Jiangning and head north. Once Qin Chengbo finally chooses to go north by Shiliang River, it means that the Hongzepu crisis will inevitably erupt. In fact, the more Qin Chengbo bluffed in Jiangning, the more certain they were that Qin Chengbo would go north to the north of Shiliang River.

Most areas north of the Huai River still have little rain and drought this year, and the large-scale purging of bandits in the imperial court around the New Year festival has prompted the tide of displaced people to break out very early, causing many areas in the north to miss spring planting, and the famine in the north will further intensify. The area around Hongzepu is a large grain-producing area, and the war disaster will greatly reduce grain production, and the summer planting will be missed, which is really not a good thing.

Cao Ziang and Zhou Pu glanced at each other, years of experience made their minds a little cold, maybe it can be said that the general trend of the world and the livelihood of the people should not be worried about them, but seeing Lin Jian looking at the wheat field outside the courtyard wall with a solemn expression, they were not comfortable.

In the past few days, Lin Jian has sent two private letters to Gu Wuchen about Hong Zepu's abnormal situation, but Gu Wuchen has not returned a word, and according to the Inspectorate, he has not taken the slightest precaution against the situation in Hong Zepu.

The old house is busy preparing for the evening banquet, Dongyang wedding banquet, the evening is the main banquet, the bride is married into the door worship hall, although the banquet is also held at noon, but some people with status always have to drag it until the afternoon to come to congratulate.

Lin Jian listened to the noise in the courtyard next door, and some people said that the Seventh Lady was coming, and they all boasted that the Zhao family was really a big face. It is said that the Zhao family should find a few decent female relatives and aunts to accompany the seventh lady to a quiet room to talk, and the banquet should also be lined up in a separate room, not to be confused with the flowing water seat, Lin Jian waited in the new courtyard for a while, and saw Zhao Hu's two younger sisters accompany the seventh lady and her two maidservants to the new courtyard.

The seventh lady saw Lin Lian standing in the courtyard looking at herself, her eyebrows and eyes were happy, but Lin Lian was accompanied by Zhou Pu and Cao Ziang, she restrained the joy of seeing her lover again, and shallow her body saluted: "You are here......" Zhou Pu and Cao Ziang were Lin Lian's followers on their faces, Gu Yingsleeve didn't know their identities at this time, and seeing their extraordinary demeanor, she just bowed her head to signal.

The Zhao family does not have any decent female relatives, Zhao Hu's two younger sisters are accompanying guests, maybe they have given their mother instructions, although they are not very old, they don't say much, so they first went to the house with the two maids.

"Sister Yingsleeve, there are many things that I haven't had a chance to tell you," Lin Jian said, "Today is a rare opportunity, I will introduce Zhou Ye and Cao Ye to you." Zhou Ye has a bandit in Huai, and Cao Ye is called Cao Xiucai, all of whom are friends who can be trusted by life and death during the two months I met outside after last autumn......"

Gu Yingsleeve was also calm, Lin Lian called her "Sister Yingsleeve" in front of outsiders, and she was full of tenderness and affection, and asked Lin Lian in a low voice: "What about Master Wu?" ”

Last winter, Lin Tie went to Jiangning, but the tide of displaced people in Jiangning did not emerge, and Wu Qi and his cadres did not have a clean identity and could not follow them to Jiangning, so Gu Yingsleeve arranged to be a guest in Shanglin first. Gu Yingsleeve didn't have a little knowledge, and she couldn't survive in the deceitful Lin family, she had already guessed that Lin Jian must have experienced unimaginable disasters after last autumn, and the identities of Zhou Pu, Wu Qi and others were destined to be not simple, but Lin Lian didn't take the initiative to say, she didn't just ask, and did things properly for Lin Lian in Shanglin.

"I usually call him Lord Crow, Huaishang is called the Black Sky Crow, in fact, people are not so vicious, he also came to the forest, but there is something else on his body," Lin Jian said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Sister Yingsleeve doesn't believe it, I also have a bandit called Donghai Fox, but everyone acts in this name, and I am embarrassed to admit it...... This is not the opportunity to talk about this matter in detail, and after arriving in Jiangning, I will tell you many things that have happened in the past six months or so. "Many things can only be said in person, and they must not be written in the letter to prevent them from being lost, and it is only at this time that Lin Jian has the opportunity to mention it to Gu Yingsleeve slightly.

"Well," Gu Yingsleeve re-applied his body to Zhou Pu and Cao Ziang, and said: "Yingsleeve has given Zhou Ye and Cao Ye a salute, and my younger brother usually entrusts Zhou Ye and Cao Ye to take care of ......."

Cao Ziang saw that the Seventh Lady could hear such secrets and not be surprised, thinking that she was really not an ordinary woman, and clasped her fists with Zhou Pu and saluted: "The Seventh Lady is serious, we are all refuted by Lin Ye, and the words of the Seventh Lady really make us embarrassed......"

At this time, I heard someone in the courtyard next door say that the sixth lady brought the little son to congratulate him, Lin Jian was slightly stunned, the sixth lady Shan family has nothing to do with the Zhao family, and she rarely shows her head in ordinary times. Gu Yingsleeve said with a smile: "If I were her, I would also be worried that you would help me seize the power of the Lin clan behind my back, and it would be really difficult for her......

Lin Jian smiled, Hong Zepu chaos is about to start, and the fierceness of the military disaster will be like a nest, he just thinks about arranging more people to go to Jiangning to avoid trouble in various names as much as possible this time, and he has no greed for the authority of the Lin clan. It's not that he doesn't guard against others if he doesn't greed, the sixth lady and Lin Zonghai think that they are sure to manipulate the clan power, and it is not difficult to understand that they are guarding against him.

After a while, I looked at the sixth lady Shan who was in the prime of young women's youth, and Lin Xuxi, the little son of the brocade silk gown, who was accompanied by Zhao Hu and her mother.

"It turns out that Xiao Qi and Lin Xiucai are talking here, by the way, Xiao Qi said that he was going to Jiangning Province, is he waiting for Lin Xiucai's matter to end and go to Jiangning with him?" The sixth lady smiled and said with a clever smile, compared to the weakness of half a year ago, the sixth lady at this time has learned a lot of skills that she did not know before.

"The Lin family didn't have a boat to go to Jiangning during this time, I don't borrow a place to settle down with Lin Lian, could it be that I, a woman, hired another boat to go to Jiangning?" Gu Yingsleeve said, the sixth lady Shan ridiculed her for not being innocent with Lin Tie and having another hidden relationship, even if she was a thief, she would not be weak-hearted, and directly took the words back.

The sixth lady was not Gu Yingsleeve's opponent in words, and she was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi is going to take care of Lin Xiucai, you are nominally inferior in name, but everyone knows that you are like sisters and brothers, and there is nothing to ......avoid" A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Lin Lian with watery eyes, the corners of her lips seemed to be smiling and slightly curved, and said, "Lin Xiucai went back to the forest, why didn't you come to see me?" I'm also your aunt anyway, the old man is sober and never said that he wants to drive you out of the clan, it's all the Lin family, and they always have to come and go. He peeped at Lin Tie with his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: People are really strange, a person who was useless before, and he hasn't seen it for a long time, but now it seems that Duan is really extraordinary, and what happened in Jiangning's mouths in other people's mouths was really what he did?

Lin Lian didn't care what the sixth lady thought in her heart, and made amends: "It's Lin Lian who is negligent, so this is not to compensate the sixth lady." ”

Lin Mengde and Lin Zonghai came over one after another. The Zhao family has no prominent relatives, and Lin Tie can only be perfunctory with Lin Zonghai, and later an elder of the Lin family came to congratulate him, so Lin Tie got rid of Lin Zonghai and talked to Lin Mengde.

"The wheat is tasseled, and there are more than ten days to cut, and the young and strong people who are working outside are rushing back to prepare for the summer harvest and summer planting, and it is difficult to persuade people to leave their hometowns at this time......" Lin Mengde squatted on the mud in the yard and said to Lin Jian with a bitter face, "You said that things really won't happen after the summer planting?" After summer planting, it is much easier to persuade people to leave their hometowns. ”

"You can't delay, let us do our best to obey the fate of heaven," Lin Jian said, "Your family has arranged to go to Jiangning?" ”

"They were all sent away before noon," Lin Mengde said, "This military disaster cannot be said clearly, and the crime of bewitching the public is not something that can be taken by anyone......"

"If you spread it in private, trap some, and in a few days there will be chaos, and the government wants to track it down, but it can't track down anyone." Lin Jian said, but he also doubted how effective the rumors of the war disaster could be.

Lin Jian would not tell Lin Mengde about fishing in troubled waters, but he needed Lin Mengde's help to arrange as many people as possible to go to Jiangning to avoid trouble, and he also told him a little about the current emergency situation.

Don't talk about persuading others, even Zhao Hu and his father and mother are reluctant to leave the wheat that can be harvested in more than ten days in the field, so they follow them to Jiangning. Fortunately, Gu Yingsleeve wants to go to Jiangning, and asks Zhao Hu and his mother to serve with his two younger sisters, the second brother Zhao Bao has learned to do things with Gu Yingsleeve, and the younger brother Zhao Mengxiong has also been in Jiangning for almost half a year, and the family has to go to Jiangning, and Zhao Hu's father has no excuse to stay, so he can only entrust more than ten acres of land to tenants. Lin Jingzhong's family directly used Jingzhong's marriage as an excuse, and squeezed Sun Jingtang to take Lin Jingzhong's family to Jiangning to live for a few days as his in-laws. Other people in the forest, Jiyun Society can only pull people in the name of recruiting workers, people who have no land and no land are easy to move, and tenants who have land or rent land to plant naturally refuse to give up the harvest of more than half a year at this time and go to Jiangning to work.

Lin Tie and they put spies in Hongzepu to monitor the situation around Hongzepu, so they knew the urgency of the situation, and even knew that the more than ten river-cutting boats and Qiuzi boats that stopped in Shanglindu were the ships arranged by the Hongzepu Water Village forces to block the back road of the Qin family's fleet. Ordinary people naturally can't feel the urgency of the situation, even if Lin Mengde first heard Lin Jian talk about it, he would be suspicious.

When the welcoming team came back, there were many ceremonies to be done, and Zhao Hu, who was wearing the groom's official red robe, took a peek at the opportunity and asked Lin Bin: "Will Uncle Qin Chengbo set off from Jiangning tonight?" ”

"You honestly enter your cave room, how can the groom easily disappear? You are guarding the upper forest, if there is a leak, you are still expected to be in charge," Lin Jian asked again, "What does the Guo family say?" ”

"I followed Cao Ye's instructions, put on the stinky face of my son-in-law, and asked their family to go to Jiangning to play around, but can the situation here drag on for three days?" Zhao Hu asked.

Dongyang customs, the third day after the marriage or the sixth, seventh, ninth, tenth day or full moon, the newlyweds want to go to their mother's house to worship the door, the world is called Guining, the whole marriage is now over.

"Qin Chengbo set off from Jiangning tonight, the boat is slow, if you sail day and night, and enter Hongzepu in three days, the timing is very urgent," Lin Jian said, "When you go back to the door, you take the boat, see that the situation is not right, be ready to go back to the forest first, but there is no time to delay you when you go back to the forest, it is difficult to say that the forces of Hongzepu are not in one go, and the key places south of Hongzepu are controlled." ”

After nightfall, Lin Lian and Zhao Hu's father and mother accepted the newcomer's gift in the hall, Zhou Pu hurriedly came and handed him a note, and news came from Jiangning: Qin Chengbo advanced the originally scheduled night's feast to noon today, and after the feast, the Qin family's fleet immediately set off from Jiangning and sailed into the Shiliang River, at least half a day earlier than Lin Tie and their judgment.
