Xiao Qiao enters the farm gate

What are you asking?

Ask Mrs. Lin why she went to the county, or how can she go because she is too sick to get out of bed?It's all obvious.Madam Lin wanted to completely isolate Father Lin into a single person, so he and Lin Zheng had no choice but to take Father Lin home to take care of him.After all, he was not in good health, it was absolutely impossible for Lin Zheng to let him stay at home alone to take care of Apa Lin, and in Apa Lin's situation, how could he really have no one to take care of him, he needed someone to wake up at night.

Maybe it was expected, but at this moment, Qiao Mo looked calm.

He could even guess the reason why Aunt Lin went to the county seat. It was nothing more than saying that his daughter-in-law was seriously ill and his youngest son couldn't take care of her. He had to go and see Yunyun.Anyway, there was Lin Zheng in the village, who was also Lin's father's son, so he would definitely be able to take care of him, so why not worry about him.

Father Lin was eating quietly, with a calm expression on his face, but it made people feel sad for no reason.

Qiao Mo didn't leave immediately like before.

There is a chamber pot under the bed, you can get it by bending over, and it is also convenient for Aunt Lin to use.In the past, Lin Zheng came to clean up after dinner, and he didn't let Qiao Mo do it, and Qiao Mo himself really disliked the dirty and smelly things, so he didn't care about them in the past, after all, he has never served anyone since he grew up.However, today, perhaps because Father Lin was too calm, Qiao Mo felt his heart swell and sour, so he endured the smell and took out the chamber pot to clean it.

After staying outside for a while, I went back inside.

Father Lin had already finished his meal, so Qiao Mo cleared away the dishes and prepared a pot of hot water before leaving.

It wasn't until people went out that Father Lin turned his head to look, with tears in his eyes.

After Qiao Mo went back, he didn't talk about it right away. He waited for the Li family father and son to leave and finish their work in the kitchen before he told about Old Mama Lin.

"Ah Zheng, let's take Father over here first." Even if Old Madam Lin wanted it, Qiao Mo couldn't leave Father Lin alone. Besides, if that happened, Lin Zheng's reputation would be completely ruined. .

"En." Lin Zheng knew that this was the only thing he could do at the moment.

Immediately, the two of them tidied up a room in the east wing, and there was an old bed in it, re-laid it, and then went to pick up Father Lin.Dad Lin has a broken bone, so it is not easy to move, not to mention getting old and recovering slowly, it will be very troublesome if the car is bumped and misplaced.So Lin Zheng made two trips, the first trip was to carry Apa Lin, and the second trip was to drive a car to bring some of Apa Lin's clothes.

After such a big movement, the whole village knew about it in a short while.

There are many people in the village with clear eyes and bright hearts. After a little thought, they can understand what old lady Lin is singing before and after.Father Lin is like that, he patted his ass and ran away because of his son and daughter-in-law, how do you say it?

Someone also mentioned Lin Gui, his own father had an accident, and Lin Gui didn't come back to see him.After all, unlike the prodigal Lin Fu, Lin Gui has always regarded himself as a gentle and polite scholar.

There are also those who complain about Lin Zheng and his wife, such as Grandma Li's family.Grandma Li was so angry that she scolded Grandma Lin as a shameless old bastard, but it was the head of the Lin family and the elders who were more annoyed than Grandma Li.

Lin Zhengneng carried Father Lin back home to take care of him. This was filial piety, and it was a good story to spread, which gave the clan a lot of face. However, the actions of Lin Laomao and even Lin Gui and Lin Fu really discredited the clan.Originally, before Lin Guixiu's husband—yes, even if it was actually a reconciliation, but in everyone's perception, he was Xiuhu—the clan already felt very ashamed and disappointed with Lin Gui, not to mention the current trouble. one out.

The patriarch, the third uncle, leaned on his crutches resentfully, and said angrily: "It's fortunate that he disliked Lin Zheng and forced him to separate the family early, otherwise the trouble would have been even worse, and Lin Zheng would have been tired."

A patriarch echoed the same angrily: "That brother Zhu is really getting more and more shameless, an ignorant idiot who can only make a fool of himself. Lin Shan should really let him divorce him, he has completely embarrassed our clan!"

Someone else said: "I don't think Lin Fu's wife is a good one. She shouldn't have let him in at the beginning, and she will cause trouble sooner or later."

The third uncle sighed again and again: "This is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk about it. Someone has to go to the county to find those three people, and then look for Lin Gui. No matter how important studying is, you can't go past his father, don't tell me In addition, his father really has something good or bad, so he doesn't even want to read this book!"

Speaking of this matter, Lin Gui felt a little wronged, because Madam Lin didn't tell him at all because she was afraid of delaying his study.And he's been very busy recently, so he doesn't have time to care about his family.

No matter what was going on outside, Qiao Mo and Lin Zheng were very calm. After all, they had been psychologically prepared.

Now, besides supplying teahouses, Qiao Mo cooks, feeds the dogs, and explains to Li Xue some questions about knitting.Feeding the chickens, drinking the horses and picking up the peanuts are all Lin is doing.

The grain drying field in the village is no longer there. Although it has not been a month, but when I taught it, I made special preparations. I divided everyone into several parts, and each part taught a few things, and the teaching was completed.If they still want to learn more, they can go to the door in private.Everyone knows that Qiao Mo is pregnant and the weather is hot. It's been a good time to teach for half a month. What's more, now that she is taking care of Aunt Lin, the family is really busy, so there is nothing to say.

Of course, while Qiao Mo was busy, he didn't forget to pay attention to the follow-up of Father Lin's incident. It's not a secret that the Lin family sent someone to the county seat. He and Lin Zheng knew about it that day.

It has been a few days since the last time I went to the county seat. I guess shopkeeper Xiao should have gotten the news. Tomorrow is the day when the teahouse will come to receive the goods. Just ask.

The car from the teahouse arrived early in the morning the next day, along with Guanfeng.

"Why are you here? Is there something for your third master?" Last time Fang Jinnian got the method of making honeycomb coal and left happily. According to the other party's temperament, he must have found someone to cooperate with the laying business at the first time. Didn't the guy follow?

Guan Feng said with a smile: "Our third master has returned to the capital, and he wants me to stay here so that he can run errands if there is anything to do. The third master just sent the news that the business has been negotiated, and he will send someone to pay for it at the end of the year. Mr. Qiao sent Fenrun. I was planning to come to Shanglin Village, and I happened to see a cart delivering goods from the teahouse, so I stopped by and passed a message to shopkeeper Xiao."

Although it is a good thing to make money, Qiao Mo has no time to care about money right now, so he hurriedly asked Shopkeeper Xiao about it.

Guanfeng said: "Then Lin Fu and Li Shuilian did arrive at the county seat, but they didn't look for Lin Gui, but rented a house in Lihua Lane to live in. The first two days they just wandered around, then Lin Fu met a friend, and the two Drinking, eating meat, visiting flower houses, and finally entered a gambling house, and has not returned home day and night. Li Shuilian buys clothes and picks jewelry every day. She spends a lot of time looking at them, so she probably has no money to buy. , the two got entangled when they came and went. Because Lin Fu never went home, every time they met they would meet in their rented house, and Ma He was generous with his actions, making Li Shuilian very happy."

Qiao Mo didn't expect such a development. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately noticed something strange.

"What a coincidence, Lin Fu met a friend? He was attracted so much that he wanted to whore and gamble. How could he have so much money? The coincidence of Ma He's appearance was all planned secretly, right?"

Guan Feng smiled and said: "Mr. Qiao's guess is right. These are all intentionally arranged by Ma He. I am afraid that he has something to do with his cousin. Although the third master suppressed the Ma family a while ago, the other party is unwilling to let it go. But you don't have to worry, Young Master Qiao, the Ma family has more than one son, and the young master of the Ma family doesn't have much energy to pay attention to this side."

Qiao Mo thought that Li Shuilian had never given up on going to the county seat, and that the encounter with Ma He was probably the result of Li Shuilian's painstaking planning.It's just that this kind of thing is a scandal after all, and it's really ugly to spread it. It doesn't matter if it makes the entire Lin family lose face, and the younger brothers in the Li family will also be discredited.Their surnames in Shanglin Village are Lin and Li. Li Shuilian ruined the reputation of the entire village at once for her own selfish desires, which is not acceptable.

Even if Qiao Mo doesn't care, but he lives here now, and there will be children who will grow up here in the future, so he can't help but not care.

He and Lin Zheng looked at each other, suppressed their thoughts for a while, and asked casually: "Where is Lin Gui? Are you still studying in the academy? Speaking of which, until now, I don't know which academy he is studying in, nor do I know how far he has studied. How about it?"

Guan Feng's expression was a bit weird, he wanted to laugh or not.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Mo didn't think Lin Gui could have anything wrong at first, but when he saw Guan Feng's expression, he immediately regained his energy.As the saying goes, hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, if you want to treat Mrs. Lin, it's just a tickle for Lin Fu, and it's most effective if you target Lin Gui.

"Young Master Qiao, you know the Song family in the city, right?"

"Well, for generations of scholars, Mr. Song is now the dean of Luming Academy..." Qiao Mo paused, and said in surprise: "You mean, Lin Gui is studying at Luming Academy? You only mention the Song family. What's the matter between him and the Song family?"

Guanfeng nodded, and didn't hold back any more, and said, "Lin Gui received good reviews in the academy. He was said to be humble, studious, gentle and polite, and his master also praised him very much. A few months ago, Lin Gui met Song at a bookstore in the city. The young master of the Song family also took this opportunity to have a few encounters with the young master of the Song family. Last month, the academy held a poetry meeting, and Lin Gui won the head. The contacts with the young master of the Song family gradually increased. friend."

These words contained a lot of information. Qiao Mo and Lin looked at each other face to face, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a while, Qiao Mo suddenly asked, "Does the Song family know about Lin Gui and Li?"

"Then how can it be?" Guanfeng shook his head: "Master Xiao made a special inquiry, and everyone in the academy thought that Lin Gui was not married. Ask him why he has not settled on the marriage, and he remains silent, as if there is some unspeakable secret Same."

Now even Lin Zheng couldn't help frowning and said, "In the beginning of spring, Lin Zheng took Fulang to the county seat."

Guanfeng sneered: "Uncle Lin, although that is your younger brother, people are really different, and what they do is shameless to say, he is still a scholar." He has no relationship with Lin Gui, so he didn't hide his sarcasm.

"Lin Gui did take Fulang to the county seat, but he didn't let him live in the house he rented, but found another place to resettle him. Not only that, he didn't say that it was his husband at all, but that it was him. The younger brother in the clan, the family is in trouble, so he came to the county to take care of his daily life. The two of them look very different, and no one suspects that he is kind. The young master of the Song family has also been to Lingui A few times in the residence, every time the two of them recite poems and paint pictures in the courtyard, the husband will do some work of serving tea and water."

Qiao Mo was very upset when he heard this, he was not only ashamed of Lin Gui, but also hated Yingzi.

At this time, I understood why Lin Gui wanted to reconcile even if his reputation was damaged. It turned out that he had climbed into the Song family.The young master of the Song family must have been pampered and brought up, how can he compare with Yingzi who is like a mess?What's more, the other party is from a scholarly family, and his father is the dean of the academy. If they really get married, it will bring endless benefits to Lin Gui.

As for what happened to Yingzi in the future... Lin Gui must have been prepared.

"Where's Madam Lin?" Qiao Mo asked again.

"Looking for the youngest son in the city. It seems that he doesn't know where the eldest son is studying, and he doesn't know where the younger son has gone. He has been wandering around the city for two days."

Qiao Mo's heart moved, he glanced at Lin Zheng first, and then said to Guan Feng: "I still have to ask you for a favor."

Guanfeng smiled and said, "Young Master Qiao, you are being polite, just give orders if you have something to say."

Qiao Mo said: "He is old and can't afford to make troubles. You help him secretly. The two young masters of the Song family value Lin Gui so much. If they see Old Mama Lin, they will treat them well and take him to see their son."

Guanfeng immediately heard the meaning behind his words, clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Young Master Qiao, that's a good idea! Don't worry, just wrap it on me, and it will be done properly."

After waiting for the goods to be loaded into the car, Guanfeng left with two more watermelons.

"What is Ah Zheng going to do?" Even though Qiao Mo didn't say it clearly, Lin Zheng knew that he was referring to Li Shuilian.

"Since it's Ma He's scheming, I'm afraid he will be very cautious on weekdays, catching traitors and catching doubles, and he can't admit what he says is unfounded. Besides, the whole village will be ashamed if there is a real disturbance."

"I also think we can't come forward about this matter. If the Li family and the Lin family are ashamed, it won't do us any good." If they do that, the Li family will definitely hate them. After all, such a shameful thing, It will affect the marriages of the little brothers in the whole clan.No matter how great the enmity is, Qiao Mo can't ignore these influences. After all, others are innocent, so how could Li Shuilian get dirty because of Li Shuilian.

"Don't worry about these things, I'll figure out a way." Although Lin Zheng is not good at doing things in a roundabout way, he doesn't want him to worry about these things. Grandma Li has explained that pregnant people should be happy, too many things on their minds. The body is burdened.

"What are you going to do?" Qiao Mo was curious.

Lin Zheng frowned, his eyes were dark, and he said after a while: "Some things really can't be delayed any longer. I'm going to the county town, and you don't want to go out when you're at home. I'll ask Grandma Li and Uncle Li to come and take care of them for a couple of days."

"You go to the county seat..." Qiao Mo remembered that last time he quietly planned the matter of Li Shuilian and Lin Fu, this time the method is probably the same brutal and direct.Qiao Mo couldn't help worrying that the county seat was different from the village, and the Ma family was not easy to deal with. What if there was an accident?

"It's okay, I'll be back in three days at most." Lin Zheng already had an idea in his mind.

"...Then be careful and come back early." After thinking again and again, Qiao Mo no longer objected.
