Chapter 2 sixteen, on filial piety

"Food stalls? Never heard of it?"

Fang Yi was suspicious in his heart, logically he had been to all the delicious hotels in Chang'an City, but he had never eaten such delicious food.

But seeing Er Leng again at this moment, she suddenly understood that Fang Yiai must have opened the food stalls without a doubt by Lin Yu.

It's just that before Lin Yu opened his shop in a grand style, with firecrackers and cannons, singing and dancing, but this time the food stall opened without much scene, Fang Yiai naturally didn't understand.

But now that I know it, I have to express it. Immediately, Fang Yiai slapped the table,

"A reward of 100 taels of silver!"

Er was stunned and coughed uncontrollably, then quickly refused to say,

"No, this is too much, the young master won't accept it."

Fang Yiai patted his shoulder and said,

"Why don't you let me accept it? It's not much. What's more, it's for the food stall, so I need to trouble you to help deliver it."

Er Leng nodded his head,

"Okay, that's okay. Then you eat, I have to go."

"Okay, you go slowly."

Fang Yiai said to the housekeeper again,

"Go and get him 100 taels of silver."

The butler nodded yes, and walked out the door with a daze.

Fang Yiai savored the delicacies on the table carefully, while Princess Gaoyang bit the chopsticks with her teeth, her gaze followed Er Leng's back as she left.

Er Leng took the money, picked up the suitcase and ran back to the food stall, but when he went back, he checked the money and found that there was an extra 20 taels.

Now he was in trouble, recalling carefully, Fang Yiai really only rewarded 100 taels, but why did the housekeeper give 120 taels?

And he hasn't paid the delivery fee yet, but he thought that if he took the 20 taels, it would be worth ten days of hard work.

It was quite a temptation for him.

He gave 100 taels to the bookkeeper at the food stall, and he continued to deliver meals with an incubator filled with 20 taels of silver on his back.

It was not until 03:30 in the afternoon that he returned to Wanbaolou, and Xiaoyu brought him another bottle of orange juice.

Er Leng gulped and drank again, he put the bottle on the table and sighed.

The delicate Xiaoyu saw that he had something on his mind, so she asked what was going on, and said it in a daze.

After thinking for a while, Xiaoyu replied,

"I'm looking at the house, Yiai may have the intention to test you. In the future, he will definitely find a way to find out whether you have sent all the money to the food stall."

Er Leng was confused, he asked,

"Is there any problem with sending it or not?"

"If you send all of them, he will definitely think that you are sincere, but you have no opinions. In this case, he may use the 20 taels of silver to blackmail you and ask you to do something."

"Then do it. At worst, I'll send him a few months of food for free."

Xiaoyu poked his head once,

"You are stupid, is he the kind of person who owes 20 taels of silver? What he asks you to do may be detrimental to the young master."

She analyzed in detail,

"However, if you give it to him, he will think that you are more honest and willing to suffer, but also scheming. Maybe he will get closer to you in the future, and then use you to get close to the young master. But the young master said that he will not let you get too close to him, So it can’t be done.”

"Then I won't give it, it saves so much trouble, and I have an extra 20 taels."

"That's even worse. If you don't give it, maybe Fang Yiai will make use of it to provoke the relationship between you and the young master."

Hearing this, he was very troubled. He scratched his hair and complained distressedly,

"I can't give it away, and I can't give it away. What should I do? I see the house and my wife is very good, and he is very warm to me."

"You know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart. This sentence is often said by the young master, so you have to be careful. And you are a servant of the Lin family. He is a family of officials, so it is possible to treat you well. There must be something in it. Concealment."

Under Xiaoyu's guidance, Er Leng felt a little resistance towards Fang Yi'ai.

Xiaoyu thought for a moment, then said,

"I don't think it's better than this. You give the money to the young master. He is smart and wise. He must know the best way to solve it."

"Oh, 20 taels of silver is nothing to the young master, and I'm still so distressed by it, I'm sure you'll laugh at me."

Er Leng picked up the incubator,

"Forget it, it's better for me to send it back directly. My father said that we can't take other people's money."

He looked at the cloth bag wrapped in silver in his hand and said,

"Even if you are short of money, you can't do this."

After finishing speaking, just as he was about to leave, Lin Yu came from the backyard,

"Hey, Er Leng, I have something to look for you."

Er Leng quickly threw the cloth bag into the incubator,

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Come with me and give this to Huaiyu. Keep it in the treasury. Come with me."

Er Leng thought that it would be okay to send the money later, and deal with the young master's business first.

The two of them moved four boxes of milk to the warehouse of the Lin family's mansion, and Lin Yu and Er Leng walked to the Qin mansion.

On the way, he was stunned and asked why he didn't ride a horse, but Lin Yu gave him a blank look.

"I just had dinner and went for a walk. Hey, walk slowly. I said I wanted to take a walk."

I was stunned and muttered, it's been a long time, lunch is too late, dinner is too early, what kind of food are you eating?

Lin Yu despises this guy all the time in his heart. He really doesn't know which pot he can't open and which pot to lift. Don't he know that he can't ride a horse?

If it wasn't for the fear of being too ostentatious when riding a motorcycle, it might cause storms all over the city.

So I can only walk, not to mention going to the Qin Mansion today, it is really not suitable to be too eye-catching.

After walking for about three, four, and 10 minutes, he finally arrived at the Qin Mansion. Lin Yu didn't need to notify him at all, and went in directly.

Outside the door is a white cloth fluttering, and the people inside are even dressed in plain, and their eyes are full of desolation.

The servants all walked around with their heads down, doing the work in their hands, and did not dare to say a word.

As soon as you walk in, you can feel the gloomy atmosphere and make people feel very depressed.

"Master, why..."

As soon as Er Leng opened his mouth, Lin Yu stopped him.

"Don't talk, come with me."

Lin Yu strode ahead, walking in the direction of Diantang based on his memory.

After turning a few corners, I saw the place where Qin Shubao's coffin was once placed, but at the moment it was empty, only Qin Huaiyu was still kneeling on the ground in grief.

Lin Yu walked over and knelt down together with him. Looking sideways, Qin Huaiyu had lost a whole circle of weight, her cheeks were sunken, and her clothes were a size too big.

His arrival only caused Qin Huaiyu to open his eyes.

Lin Yuyu said earnestly,

"Qin Shibo has been gone for a while."

Qin Huaiyu closed his eyes and did not answer.

Lin Yu asked,

"When are you going to kneel?"

"October's kindness is heavy, and three lives' repayment is light."

"Three lives? Three years?"

Lin Yu smiled and said,

"Don't do anything for three years, just kneel here? Are you kidding me?"

He looked at Qin Huaiyu, who was not moved at all, so he raised his voice and said,

"Qin Shibo, junior Lin Yu, I've come to see you. This is a good thing I brought you. It was something you liked to eat when you were alive. I'll burn it for you right now."

Then he gave Er Leng a wink, the latter put the milk in front of the spirit card, Lin Yu took out the lighter and was about to light it, at this moment Qin Huaiyu stopped him,

"Brother, please go to the tomb to burn the sacrifices."

Lin Yu glanced at him,

"Isn't it the same wherever it is burned? Is there any explanation for this? Anyway, it only needs to be burned for Shibo."

"But……"

Qin Huaiyu wanted to speak, but stopped abruptly.

Lin Yu turned her head,

"Fourth brother, do you want to say that it is useless to burn it here, and you can only receive it if you burn the uncle at the grave?"

Qin Huaiyu nodded silently.

Lin Yu said again,

"That's wrong, you are kneeling here, the uncle can see, why do I have to run all the way to burn the sacrifices? It doesn't make sense."

Just as Qin Huaiyu was about to say something, Lin Yu interrupted him first,

"I think human beings have spirits, and they can be found everywhere. Uncle Shi must be looking at the two of us in the sky right now. Of course, he is looking more at his precious son."

After hearing this, Qin Huaiyu was slightly moved, but he didn't understand Lin Yu's meaning, so he raised his head to look at him.

"It's a pity, his precious son looks like a walking dead all day long. The old man has only been away for a few days, and his son is so hungry that he is so pitiful."

Lin Yu said tut-tsk,

"If Shi Bo was still alive, he would definitely not be willing to see such a son, otherwise he would really die with regret."

"Big brother!"

Qin Huaiyu said,

"I know you came here to persuade me to eat, but there is a saying in the book that close relatives, who have been in mourning for three years, often mourn, don't drink alcohol, don't eat meat, it's filial piety."

"You guys are usually very energetic, why is your head like an elm bump at this time?"

Lin Yu pointed to Qin Huaiyu and said,

"Body and skin, you are the parents, are you starving yourself like this to show people your filial piety, or to make your father feel sad?"

Qin Huaiyu opened his mouth empty, "I..."

Chapter 2 seventeen, serve the country

Lin Yu put one hand on Qin Huaiyu's shoulder,

"What do you think of Ruan Ji?"

"Ruan Ji is one of the seven sons of Jian'an, so he doesn't follow the law and follow the rites of the clan, but he is an outsider."

Qin Huaiyu's answer made Lin Yu nod yes,

"That's right, Ruan Ji is rampant, but he is also rampant for reason. He is unrestrained by nature and doesn't respect etiquette. Back then when his mother was dying, he still played chess with others. Do you think it's right to do so?"

Qin Huaiyu thought for a while and replied,

"For ordinary people, it is unfilial, but for Ruan Ji, there is nothing to blame."

"Why? Is Ruan Ji so special?"
