Lin Gongzi medicine jar

After placing the coffin in the Lin family's ancestral hall, Lin Xi insisted on three sticks of incense and knelt down to Lin Qing's memorial tablet three times before solemnly inserting it into the incense burner. Then he stood up and thanked Li Zheng and other juren or scholar masters who were present.

Lin Qing's coffin needs to stay in the ancestral hall for seven days, and after seven days, it will be buried in the ancestral grave.

Lin Qing does not belong to Zhengzhi of the Lin family, and his blood is so close that he has already passed the fifth service. It is only because of his hard work, he passed the Jinshi master examination and became a high-ranking official that he was able to have a place in the middle of the Lin family's ancestral hall.Everyone saw that although Lin Xi was completely white and dressed in sackcloth, her every move revealed the aura of a nobleman of the family, and the servants of the Lin family were well-trained, never talking much, and never looking too much, following the rules. It cannot be cultivated by wealthy families.

So although Lin Xi was lonely and weak, no one dared to provoke him, and everyone was polite.

The weather is getting colder, and the winter in Liangzhou is even more bitterly cold. Although Jiangnan is humid and cold, the temperature is not so low.

The kang was already on fire, and Lin Xi didn't like to move at all, and now he was nestled on the kang all day and all night. Zhou's mother and several maids loved him, and they took turns to serve him, even eating and washing on the kang, except for the convenience He had no choice but to get off the kang, but he was still in the house, so extravagant and lustful that even he himself couldn't see it.

Now his cold syndrome has gradually improved, but the soup and medicine are still unstoppable. Zhou's mother even stares at him more closely than before. Every time he looks at him with a blank face after drinking the bottom of the bowl, she smiles and sends hot spots one by one. Heart.

As his health gradually improved, Lin Xi was full of confidence in the future. He lived a new life. He vowed that he would never be a corrupt official like his previous life, but he never thought of sacrificing himself for the righteousness in his heart like his father in this life.

So after much deliberation, I decided not to pursue an official career, so what should I do?

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, although he didn't want to choose the first option, he didn't plan to choose the latter two either.Lin Xi was originally from the countryside, so he knew very well how hard it was to plan food, and given his current status, he was not suitable, let alone work.And the last business...wealth is rich, but it is lowly. If Father Lin has a spirit in heaven, he probably has the heart to kill this unfilial son.

Lin Xi's gaze followed the busy Tuanyuan unconsciously, but her thoughts flew to nowhere.

Because Lin Xi decided to stay in Liangzhou for three years, although Zhou's mother felt that it would be good to stay for three months with her young master's spoiled temper, she still ordered the girls to clean up the house and open the cage. Prepare to live long term.

The eyes of the two girls named Lin Xi looked a little uncomfortable, and then remembered that Zhou's mother often said that the young master was fifteen years old, and he was not engaged yet. He was not in good health before, so it would be useless to talk about it. Isn't it getting better now... Every time she finished chanting, she looked at the two servant girls with some meaningless eyes.

The maid in the young master's room...

Yuanyuan was holding the small box and was looking for a place to put it, when she felt his young master's gaze slipping over, she was always straightforward, and immediately turned around and said: "Young master, why are you staring at the slaves all the time?"

Yuanyuan's face was a little red, and Tuantuan was also taken aback by her words. She immediately put down the buddy in her hand and listened with her ears up.

Lin Xi was a little baffled, but recently he had just read an unofficial history, and now that no one is watching him, he seemed to be looking upright, so he looked at Tuan Yuanyuan's erratic eyes and the blush slowly appearing on his face, and suddenly suddenly realized.

This is too precocious!

Hastily waved his hand and said: "What does the dead girl think about, a child who is only so old, just thinks about these all day long."

Seeing that Lin Xi's eyes were clear without any ambiguity, the two girls were relieved, but they just felt a little bit disappointed.Yuanyuan muttered in a low voice, "I'm also fourteen."

You're just in the first year of junior high school, girl... But for the ladies of this era, it's time to talk about marriage, and some young masters have several rooms in their rooms.

"Come on, let's reduce some of the flesh on your body first. You looked fine before, but now you're getting fatter. I wonder if this place in Liangzhou can make you slimmer."

Tuanyuan suddenly became unhappy, this has always been a scar in the hearts of their sisters, and his young master still poked it hard.

Lin Xi ignored them and just waved to Yuanyuan, "Bring the box in your hand."

Yuanyuan pouted, but still obediently brought the box to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi opened it, and immediately revealed a brown sheepskin bag and other small items inside, as well as a few books, which were left to him by Dr. Min.

Dr. Min has been with Lin Xi day and night for five years. During these five years, he has taught Lin Xi almost everything he has mastered in his life. However, he also sees through that this young man is not a man of compassion, so he did not ask him to give up on him before he died. able to go down this path.

And Lin Xi has always been utilitarian, and studying medicine with Dr. Fujian is only for his poor body, and he has the foresight, and now he can prepare those life-saving pills and medicinal soups that never leave his mouth. Not that interested.

He touched the old but well-preserved medical book, but he still didn't open it in the end, and ordered Yuanyuan to put it away carefully.

He has three years to keep his filial piety, so he is not in a hurry.

Seeing that Young Master Lin was lying back on the bed and closing his eyes to rest his mind, the two girls had no choice but to relax, tidy up and go out.As soon as he turned around, he saw Steward Lin walking in. When he met the two of them, he asked, "Young master, did you rest?"

"Just laying down, is the housekeeper in a hurry?"

"If the young master is not asleep, I'm afraid I will trouble the girl."

Tuanyuan nodded, turned around and went into the inner room, after a while, Yuanyuan came out and said, "Go in."

Lin Xi stood up under Tuantuan's service and put on a thick cloak.

"I've seen the young master." Butler Lin kowtowed.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Is Uncle Lin feeling better? You took the medicine on time. It's so cold, so be careful not to catch a cold."

Lin Butler's cold face, which was blown by the wind, suddenly softened, and he said with a smile: "Let the young master worry more, your body will recover soon."

Butler Lin was an orphan, and he took Lin Qing's surname as Lin in his early years. Not long after Mrs. Lin entered the house, she allocated Zhou's mother to him, so he was very important.In Huaizhou before, when the officers and soldiers forcibly searched Lin's house, they were kicked and beaten, which hurt their bodies, and they recovered slowly.

"It's better to rest more. There are few things here, so don't overwork yourself. Otherwise, Mother Zhou should feel sorry for you. If you have something to do, send Lin Fang to do it." The personal servant, who often does some errands, is also clever.

Speaking of his son, Lin Butler's face became more gentle. Seeing Lin Xi reuse him, he was very comforted, but he said: "That little bastard is frizzy, so people don't feel at ease at all, young master, don't get used to it." with him."

Lin Xi took the hand stove from Tuantuan, hugged it in her arms, and asked with a smile, "Uncle Lin is looking for me?"

Butler Lin immediately said seriously: "Seeing that it is getting colder and colder today, there is still a little snow today. The boys below asked the peasants in the field that heavy snow will come soon. Although we are not here There are more than seventeen or eight people. This old house is really small. A temporary shed was built before, but it is ventilated on all sides, and it is not cold-resistant at all. The men are full of firepower, so it doesn’t matter if they live for a few days. will get sick."

Seeing that Lin Xi was listening carefully, Steward Lin continued, "I was just about to discuss with the young master whether to use these few days to build a few houses so that they can at least avoid the wind and snow. Especially those who came from Yongning Hou Mansion, Along the way, there were guards exploring the way, and people staying at the top of the store. They all rushed to the front and followed to Linjiacun. They insisted on letting the house out and living in a shed by themselves. "

Tuantuan looked outside through the window, but it wasn't true, there were already snowflakes falling, "Master, it's snowing again."

Lin Xi didn't see these, and he felt deeply guilty. Let's not talk about those brought out by the Lin family. Those of Yongninghou knew that they were not ordinary people by their behavior. It may be that they were from the military, but they were sent to take care of themselves. Obviously they have wronged them, but they didn't show it.

"Uncle Lin is still thoughtful. I have been hiding in the house and I don't feel the cold, so I ignored it. Let's do this quickly." Lin Xi thought for a while and then said, "There is no work in the fields now, so it might as well Pay some money and ask some peasants to come over to help with the repairs, we must repair a few more houses, and build the kang, which is heated every day, since we are going to do it, we must do it well.”

Lin Butler saw that Lin Xi agreed, so there was nothing wrong with it, "What the young master said is true, I will do it now."

"Uncle Lin, it's not easy for farmers. After paying taxes, there is nothing left for the whole year. It's almost Chinese New Year, so let's count more wages. Just think of giving New Year's money in advance. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will do well."

Butler Lin said with a smile: "The young master is kind. Generally, the head of the family takes care of the food. When you come to our place, you may not have chicken, duck and fish, but you are sure to take care of your fill. I guess there will be competition."

Lin Xi nodded, "Uncle Lin will figure it out, we can't keep dealing with the village."

With Lin Xi's approval, Steward Lin sent someone to see Li Zheng that afternoon, and told him everything about repairing Lin's house. The Lin family had been away from Lin's village for too long, and they always had to say hello to the village when they did everything, especially the house. Things like breaking ground for expansion.

It's freezing cold today, and we can't plant the ground in this season. We're all nestling at home and looking forward to the spring of the next year. Everyone is very excited to hear that there is such a job.Whose earth house is not built by the neighbors by themselves, and it does not matter how much the wages are, and they want to cut a few extra catties of meat during the Spring Festival, and pull a few pieces of new material for the children, so many people come to apply for the work.

Not far from the snowy day, Lin Butler picked up a few more neat and strong ones, and immediately went to work and got busy.

Mother Zhou hired a few daughters-in-law to cook for these men. There was enough white steamed buns at noon, and chicken and duck meat were served at intervals. Only when they were full did they have the strength to work. The peasants who work harder will work harder.

Although the weather is cold, the yard is busy and full of heat.

Lin Xi got impatient in the nest, so she wandered out curiously. Yuanyuan happened to come over with a bowl of freshly fried medicine. When she saw his young master standing alone in the cold wind, her face immediately changed. After walking a few steps quickly, "Oh, my young master, why did you come out? Your body has just improved. It's so cold, what should you do if you get frozen? Doctor Fujian said that you can't catch a cold. If Mother Zhou sees you , slaves will be scolded to death."

As he spoke, he urged Lin Xi to enter the room, "I just arrived at the meal point, and there was chaos ahead, so people don't know how to behave, so what if there is a collision."

Lin Xi went back to the house, took the medicine bowl, and saw Zhou's mother coming in. Under her extremely serious eyes, Lin Xi finished drinking the medicine.But seeing Zhou's mother still unmoved, staring at the bowl in his hand, Lin Xi grunted, then shook the medicine bowl, and drank the last medicine juice.

It was only next week that my mother smiled happily, "Young master, are you bored?"

"It's not that I'm not a lady who doesn't like to meet outsiders. It's too boring to stay in the house all day. I don't know how busy I am ahead. I want to go and see."

After Yuanyuan collected it, she smiled softly when she heard the words, thinking that the master wanted the young master to go out to make friends, but the young master refused to move.

"That's fine, God opened his eyes today, the sun is good, the young master is going out to bask in the sun at this time. Yuanyuan, put on the white fox fur cloak for the young master, don't get cold."

Yuanyuan responded crisply, found the cloak and went to the front to call Lin Fang, and then accompanied Lin Xi out with confidence.

It's lunch now, and a few big steaming steamers are half-opened. A 40- to [-]-year-old daughter-in-law wrapped in a headscarf is distributing steamed buns to the men who work. The steamed buns are big and white.Five or six big white steamed buns, plus a bowl full of meat and vegetables, each of them ate with a smile on their faces, and only said that the host was kind.

Lin Xi stood not far behind, looking at the simple and rough faces, she couldn't help but feel sour. The same was true for her parents in her previous life. As long as there was any opportunity to make money, she would not let it go, just to give it to her. He just goes to school.

He glanced at those faces one by one, until he was attracted by a thick and dark man. The man was wearing a cotton coat that was not too thick. Neatly.

Lin Xi thought that he must have a dexterous and capable wife. The man was not well dressed, but clean, and...his eyes paused, and he saw this man holding a big bowl and a steamed bun walking to the side of the grass. Squatting down by the side of the shed, biting the steamed buns and looking around casually for a while, he quickly broke open a good one, picked a few large pieces of meat from the bowl, and slowly fumbled out an unremarkable piece of cloth from his bosom. The bag was put in, and three steamed buns stuffed with sliced ​​meat were filled like this, and then the cloth bag was carefully stuffed into the corner of the thatched shed behind him, buried with hay for a few times, and then the remaining steamed buns and meat dishes were eaten at a fast speed.

He must have two children and a virtuous wife, Lin Xi thought.
