Rebirth: Thousand Miles of Smoke

Gradually he couldn't work, but he was tortured by the disease for only three years. Thinking about it now, it wasn't because he couldn't help tossing, but because his heart was dead and he had no reason to live, so he couldn't make it through.

Thinking of those days, Lin Ziyao felt a little uncomfortable. Compared to those dark days, when the only hope in his heart turned into despair, it was the most difficult time.

The irony is that the only thing he learned in those three years is probably the sense of speech and patience that he never knew before, to endure hunger, thirst, pain, whipping, and let himself yell, the more ruthless those people attacked .

Lin Ziyao came back to his senses from that memory and saw the maid staring at him, so he asked patiently: "What's wrong?"

"Young master's eyes are very bright. If you don't keep your head down all the time, you must look good."

This girl is really interesting. No one in his two lifetimes has ever said that he looks good, but these eyes are very similar to his biological mother, Mrs. Ya. Even Master Lin would look twice more sometimes, but he was still young at that time. , will only avoid it cowardly, which will make people disgusted.

"I've been bothering you for a long time at the palace, and it's time to go back."

It's just that when I go back this time, I will definitely be punished by Master Lin. I remember that in my last life, I was fined a month's money before I recovered from my illness, and they took me to Wanfu Temple overnight to think about my mistakes. People are comforting, but everyone's eyes are only disgusted and disgusted.

But Hualien was a little surprised when he heard this: "You haven't fully recovered from your illness, it's better to rest for two more days."

"I've never seen a woman who is more nagging than you." This is Lin Ziyao's sincere words, but he can't get angry with this girl. This maid really cared about him.

Hua Lian was choked by his words, a little annoyed, but not easy to attack, Lin Ziyao smiled and shivered: "Would you like to live with me in the future, I really lack an interesting maid like you."

"My lord!" Hua Lian was a little anxious, "This is impossible..."

"That's right, this Prince Rong's Mansion is thousands of times worse than mine, so it's better not to delay you." Lin Ziyao shook his head slightly, and said with some disappointment, but the girl blushed immediately and said, "If you don't mind, my lord, Let's take Hualien away, Hualien is not suitable for this Prince Rong's mansion, I live in fear every day, I am afraid that the housekeeper will not agree..."

"Really?" Lin Ziyao's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "There's no need to worry too much about it. I asked for someone from King Rong for the matter I had in Prince Rong's mansion. You don't need to go through him, and the steward will give it to me. And even though mine is not as good as this, it is still acceptable, and with a master like me, there are few things to do, let me ask you again, are you willing to go to the Lin Mansion with me?"

As soon as Hualien heard that there was something interesting, she thanked her immediately, and after a while she blushed and asked, "Here, the slave's monthly money..."

Now Lin Ziyao really laughed heartily without any grievances, causing Hua Lian's face to turn red and then green, and finally looked at Lin Ziyao with a dark face, and pouted, without any sense of slavery.

Later Lin Ziyao asked, and found out that this girl was also a concubine's young lady in the past, but after her family's fortunes fell, she was sold by her family to work as a servant in the Rong Palace.

Just like what Lin Ziyao said, it is easy to ask the housekeeper for someone. The housekeeper seemed to be chasing the plague. After handing over the deed of selling Hualien to Lin Ziyao, the housekeeper asked someone to send him to the gate.

Seeing the door being slammed shut, Lin Ziyao touched his nose, it turned out that he was so unwelcome.

"My lord?" Hua Lian looked at him with her bag on her shoulders, not knowing why.

But Lin Ziyao turned around and smiled at her: "It's okay, let's go, let you see my small courtyard."

Looking back at the Prince Rong's mansion, Lin Ziyao touched his heart, this time he really gave up...

3. Master Lin's punishment

"Ah, look at my head, you left it, my lord, why did I forget it." Hua Lian handed a piece of transparent white jade to Lin Ziyao, "The doctor took this jade from your hands and handed it to the slave for safekeeping." , I was supposed to return it to you, but I forgot it after a while."

"It's okay." After receiving the white jade, Lin Ziyao looked at the jade in a daze, but finally put the jade back on his waist and put it on. , "This is yours."

"This?" Hua Lian was a little unbelievable, but Lin Ziyao blushed at the sight of her big smart eyes, Hua Lian raised a smiling face and looked at Su Ming, "Thank you, my lord."

"Hey, it's nothing more than a little effort, but the monthly fee is less, and my monthly expenses are not too much. If I accept you, I have to pay you the monthly fee." Lin Ziyao seemed to be pitying his meager copper coins In fact, although the mansion is not very harsh on him, Lin Ziyao's expenses are indeed very different from others compared to other young masters and ladies. However, Hualien doesn't mind when he hears that his monthly money will be reduced, because he can get it back. Selling the contract is better than anything else, it's just less money, anyway, it's enough to have food and lodging.

After Lin Ziyao bought miscellaneous books he was interested in on the street, he took Hualien back to Lin's mansion.

In fact, Hualien really overestimated Lin Ziyao's status in the Lin Mansion. When he returned to the door, the servants only called out to him as a young master. His attitude was not like that of a servant treating his master. The servants of the Lin family actually treated the master like this.

Lin Ziyao didn't care at all. In fact, if it wasn't for this incident, he would usually enter through the back door. After all, if he walked there, he would be much closer to the small courtyard where he lived.It's just that this time I want to go in through the main entrance and tell my father that he is back.

And what awaits him is not comfort and concern, only scolding and thinking about his mistakes. Although he has already experienced his father's indifference, it is bound to be uncomfortable just to suffer again. Treated differently?Just because you have no talent?

When I was a child, I once asked my mother, but unfortunately what he got was always the sad expression of the other party.

While walking around in Hualien to look at the Lin Mansion, she followed Lin Ziyao into the house. The further she walked, the more confused she became, and her hands holding the package became tighter and tighter.

"I said son, where are we going?"

"My other courtyard, where else can I go? Don't think it's remote, but even my father's wing is not as big as mine." Lin Ziyao walked ahead with a smile and walked straight through the bamboo forest. Only then did I see the room that Lin Ziyao said was bigger than General Lin's wing.

It’s big, but the yard is overgrown with weeds, and the desolate land seems to have never been lived in. Those who don’t know it think it’s an uninhabited place. Maybe it’s haunted at night. Thinking of this, Hualien hugged her arms tightly. , shivered, coughed and said:

"Here, although I'm also a concubine, I don't have this kind of treatment." Hua Lian said it directly, and walked in with Lin Ziyao. The room is very clean, the decoration is not gorgeous, but it is clean enough, except for the weeds outside. It's a nice place.

"There is a small stove in the back. Your residence is just across from me. The house is quite clean and there is no need to tidy it up. By the way, if you have time in the afternoon, come and weed with me."

Hua Lian wailed in her heart, but she wasn't unhappy at all.

Someone brought the lunch, but the butler was very careful, knowing that Lin Ziyao had a maid here, so he prepared an extra serving. After all, Hualien used to be a young lady, and Lin Ziyao let her sit and eat together, without caring about her dignity.

Dong dong dong, the knock on the door made Lin Ziyao, who hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls, look up, and when he saw that it was the servant next to his father, he immediately understood, got up and said, "Eat first, I'll come as soon as I go."

Lin Ziyao followed the young man around the backyard and came directly to Master Lin's study. Lin Ziyao straightened his collar at the door before pushing the door in, but when his thin body was lifting his feet, he almost fell over. He fell down, and when he stabilized, the people inside shouted: "What does it look like!"

Lin Ziyao raised his head and saw that the person seated in the front seat was Master Lin, and sitting next to him was Lin Dashao Lin Feng who had just been demoted recently. For his elder brother, Lin Ziyao neither hated nor liked him. Sister, this brother is mature and stable, has ideals and ambitions, and never shows him the same pity and disgust as others.

"Father, brother." Lin Ziyao bowed.

"In the past few days in the palace, I have lost some weight."

He took bitter medicine every day, and he couldn't eat much. Naturally, he lost more than a little weight, but Lin Ziyao only took his elder brother Lin Feng's words as polite words, so he just listened: "Thank you, elder brother, for your concern."

"Niety!" Mr. Lin was furious, and suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "You douchebag, don't you think our Lin family's jokes are not enough, and you even ran to Prince Rong's mansion? I said? 'Take care of your son!'."

This period of experience was exactly the same as before. Lin Ziyao remembered that the timid self at that time only insisted that he was helpless on this point, which caused Master Lin to fine him for three months of expenses, and went to Wanfu Temple to eat fast and chant Buddha for two months. .

But this time it was different, Lin Ziyao just knelt down with a plop, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and said in a firm and sincere voice: "My boy is not filial, I won't do it again in the future, I know my mistake."

These three sentences made Mr. Lin at a loss. Although this child was born by a concubine, he was his own son after all. Even he, an old man, couldn't stand it. After a long time, everyone in the family looked at Lin Ziyao with strange eyes.

So when Lin Ziyao confessed his mistake.On the contrary, I don't know how to punish him. Seeing the kneeling man
