Peach Blossom Island and the Red House

Chapter 80 The Declining Fang Family

Just when the whole family was smiling for the New Year, Lin Lang received new news, this time it was his private matter!Someone from Fang's family came back, it was his biological mother's natal family who came back!

Lin Lang is now 13 years old. Speaking of which, he has basically never heard any news about his maternal ancestral home, and occasionally a few words are also talking about the past.It's not that they have a bad relationship, or that there's something bloody about it, but because my grandfather's family is in the middle of Sichuan, or in the middle of Shu.

It is not a lie that the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. From the land of Shu to the south of the Yangtze River, it is a process of throwing money into the river.

According to my grandfather, at the beginning, the Fang family was considered a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, but the population was as pitiful as the Lin family's. His mother was the prostitute of the Fang family and matched with the second son of the Lin family. .Who made Fang's family into his grandfather's generation, there is only one room!The most important thing is that his eldest uncle just got married, and when he went home to visit relatives, he encountered bandits, and the couple suffered misfortune. So far, the Fang family only had their own mother and a weak brother who was three years younger than her.Seeing it, the inheritance is about to be broken!

Fortunately, this little uncle is a smart person, and he is good at studying. He became a Juren at the age of 20, but the family situation is not good. The old man of the Fang family passed away, and the family property has been in decline very quickly for studying, taking exams, and attending funerals all these years. , in order to support the family business, the little uncle was also decisive, and immediately gave up the scientific research. With the help of the Lin family and other family friends, he found an official position and brought his newly married wife, and took office directly. He wanted to rely on his own efforts. , to support the Fang family, and the Fang family's property in Jiangnan was also entrusted to the Lin family, thinking that at least there are still sisters and brothers-in-law.It can be regarded as a way out for the Fang family, after all, it is the Fang family's ancestral property, and it cannot be sold easily!

As far as Lin Lang knew, when his old mother gave birth to him and passed away, this little uncle had already been a small county magistrate in Sichuan.Seventh-rank official position, this is already a good official position that he has obtained under the recommendation of others. Although the middle of Sichuan is a bit far away and the transportation is inconvenient, everyone knows that the richness of the middle of Sichuan is well known. As long as you have the ability, no Can't make a world out of tossing.

It is estimated that the Lin family has really put in a lot of effort here. I heard that the relationship between my grandfather and the old man of the Fang family was also good, but now Lin Lang sees the news, but it hurts in his heart. Only two of the Fang family came back. Children, two children younger than myself, and the old butler's family, all dressed in plain clothes, needless to say, I'm afraid that my little uncle is in danger!

Lin Lang went out in person and went to Anting by boat. After all, it was his peers who came. It was inconvenient for both grandpa and uncle to come forward, but he was the closest and should.Lin Lang hurriedly went to the Fang family's old house to pick up his family. No one lived there for more than ten years. Although the Lin family helped to take care of them, houses without people were always less popular. This was not something the two children could bear.

Just as he walked to the door, he saw a gray-haired old man leaning on the door and looking forward to it. When he saw Lin Lang, tears immediately began to flow down his cheeks.

"Yes, is it Young Master Biao?"

Got it, this is probably the old housekeeper who came back from protecting the two young masters, Lin Lang hurriedly stepped forward to answer:

"Boy Lin Lang, but Fang Jiaqi's housekeeper?"

"Yes, it's the old slave, Master Biao, Master Biao is also this old, master, have you seen it? Master Biao is also an adult! Woooooo, master, woooooooo."

The old man was so excited that he didn't know what to say anymore. He grabbed Lin Lang's hand and cried bitterly, then suddenly remembered something, hurriedly entered the door, his eyes sparkling, and shouted to the door:

"Master Cousin is here, Uncle, Second Master, hurry up, hurry up, your cousin is here!"

Hearing this, Lin Lang confirmed the identities of the two children mentioned in the news. They were indeed the children of his little uncle, and he felt even more uncomfortable. Don't ask, the little uncle is probably gone, and the Fang family only left So two.The Fang family is even more down and out than the Lin family!Lin Lang touched the small box in his arms. Inside was the land deed of [-] mu of land in Anting. I heard that it was given to his mother by his uncle at the beginning, saying that he asked her to keep it for him. He didn't know when he would be able to come back, and he was afraid that the ancestral property would be ruined. That's why he made such a decision. Now, this family property should be returned to them. Maybe it will be the only source of income for their two children in the future!Lin Lang's heart was full of compassionate pain.

Two cousins, one Fang He, is now 9 years old, and the other Fang Ning, is exactly 6 years old, with a moon-white robe and a thin body. Lang knew that they were old and young, and they had to go back to the south of the Yangtze River from Shuzhong.

After the brothers bowed to each other, Lin Lang began to inquire about the little uncle. Sure enough, the man was gone, and the husband and wife died at the same time. They still got the epidemic, and the corpses were not left behind. They were cremated and brought back with ashes.

"At that time, the master had been promoted to the sixth rank, and the master was still very happy. He said that in a few years, with meritorious service, he would be able to go to Beijing to report on his work. At that time, he must find a way to transfer it. Even Jiangxi and Hunan are good. The best At least I can communicate with An Ting, so I can know the situation of my aunt, so that he doesn't always live like a lonely soul. I don't know anything about the relatives at home. I didn't expect how long it took! Those savages in the mountains don't I know where the epidemic was caught and spread to the city."

Old Butler Qi sat on the ponytail, sitting at the bottom, and told Lin Lang about things in Central Sichuan. The two children's faces were already covered with tears at this time, and they thought of their parents!My heart is full of grief.Even Lin Lang heard this, and felt that the world is impermanent. If you are a fifth rank, even if you are from the fifth rank, you can go to the Ministry of Officials to report on your work. come out!It's just a little short!It really is bad luck!

"There are many mountains in Shuzhong, and there are many medicines, but the epidemic is not something that can save lives. As soon as the master gets sick, he knows it's over, so he told the old slave. After he went, he took the mistress and the little girl The master went back to his hometown and said that as long as the Lin family is still there and there are people, the Fang family will be able to rely on them and have a chance to get back together. But, but, I didn't expect that after the master's funeral was over, the wife would also find out the illness, woo woo woo, The madam persisted, finished the matter, and committed suicide directly, for fear of passing it on to the little master! Woohoo, Master Biao! The Fang family, the Fang family, the Fang family only have these two little masters left!"

Speaking of this, the whole room was full of crying, butler Qi looked up at Lin Lang with a dazed expression, always feeling hopeless, and then asked:

"Master Cousin, Auntie, I heard that my aunt and uncle have already... how could this happen, how are things going now?"

He was thinking wholeheartedly, sending the two little masters to the Lin family, at least it was his aunt's house, who could always take good care of him, but he never thought that the young master Biao was also a hard-working man, who had never seen his parents since he was born, which was worse than his two young masters. Well, the Lin family is in-laws, but without aunt and uncle, the relationship will be a bit weaker. I don't know if I can take care of my master as much as I can!

Lin Lang knew that there was nothing to explain at this time, and everything he said was false.Simply ignore it, just talk to 9-year-old Fang He:

"I am 13 years old this year. I have just been selected as a scholar, so I have achieved fame. You can study with me in the future. By the way, this is your family's ancestral property. It has been managed by my mother. My mother is gone. It is managed by my grandfather. When I am ten years old, it will be in my hands. Originally, the little uncle left 170 acres. You can’t receive the annual income, and you can’t send it over, so you just exchange the income. The silver was slowly replaced by land, and now it has [-] acres, and the land deeds are all written in the name of my little uncle. In a few days, I will take you to the Yamen to change the head of the household."

Lin Lang is very direct in his work, and he spread everything out. He felt that there was nothing he could not say to a child who had walked back to Jiangnan from the middle of Sichuan. A wise man, a wise man who knows good from bad.

Sure enough, when Fanghe heard this, his eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Lin Lang. When they felt that the end of the mountain, the return of this ancestral property was undoubtedly an act of giving charcoal in the snow, and it also showed the Lin family's love Character, credit.

Lin Lang looked at his wide-eyed eyes, couldn't help reaching out and patting his head, and then continued:

"You are my younger brothers. There is always a gift when we meet for the first time. This one hundred acres of land is my gift. You are half of each other. Also, when your uncle and aunt pass away, the Lin family is an in-law. There is always a funeral. This one hundred acres is the funeral. , it’s just that the two hundred acres of land are far away. In Kunshan, rent collection is probably a bit more troublesome. Also, this is a grocery store in Anting Town, which was given by my grandfather as a gift for you. There is a box of bedding and other things prepared by my aunt. You haven’t come back for so many years. Many things here are no longer usable. You have to replace them with new ones. Take some from home and use them. The embroiderer will come to give them later. You measure yourself, someone in the old house will make new clothes for you, and it’s almost Chinese New Year, so prepare these too!”

Lin Lang muttered a lot, saying that the two brothers of the Fang family were so stupid that they almost forgot to breathe. Although they had always heard the adults in the family say that the Lin family had a good family style, people believed it. They were relatives of the family. I also heard that this cousin is really good. His aunt is gone, and he knows how to help them manage their ancestral property, not only a lot, but also so much land, which makes them feel a little bit of a windfall. Listen to it now, This is not normal anymore, that is, they have thought of all aspects of them. Such a cousin, even a real brother, is nothing more than that!

Butler Qi started crying again!This time it's not grief, but emotion. Although my aunt is gone, but Master Biao is reliable at the beginning, nothing to say, it's good!

What else is there to say?Butler Qi stood up, walked in front of Lin Lang, and began to take off his clothes, huh?Undress?How do you say that?Strip show?Have you played this game until now?Why doesn't he know?

Lin Lang was dumbfounded!The stimulus came too fast for him to react!
