[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Yuan's wife, the Sheng family, was born in a family of generals. The Sheng family is in Lingnan, and many of the sons in the family are generals in the Lingnan army. Over lieutenant.

Lin Yuan was the eldest son, so he got married earlier than Lin Liang and Lin Jian. Lin Liang's wife, Yan Shi, was only recently pregnant, but Sheng Shi had already given birth to two young sons for Lin Yuan.

This time for Lin Hong's birthday, Lin Yuan also brought back his two young sons.

Lin Yuan's two youngest sons are four years old and six years old. They are at the age of being noisy. The personalities of these two little dolls are not quite like Lin Yuan. The older one is very lively, and the younger one is probably younger. I'm a little shy of strangers, and I've always followed the older one, that is, I've become more familiar with him these days, and the four-year-old son is not so shy and shy.

There have never been any little dolls in the West Garden these years. Now Lin Yuan brought back his two young sons. The two little dolls ran around the mansion all day long, and they had to go shopping in various places. Followed by the servant girl and guarded at the back, a mighty group of people walked around, making the mansion even more lively.

Since Lin Jian wanted to celebrate Lin Hong's birthday, Emperor Chengsheng and the crown prince would both come, so the birthday party was naturally very grand.

Lin Jian sent invitations to almost all officials in the court, big and small, inviting them to come to Lin Hong's birthday banquet.The garden at the back of the West Garden is very large, and Qiao's flowers and plants have been tidied up a little bit. In addition, the weather in spring is sunny, so it is very good to hold a birthday banquet there.

The former general, who had always kept a low profile, was celebrating his birthday, and even the Holy Majesty and the Crown Prince would be there, so why wouldn't the officials big and small who received the invitations not come?

Needless to say, those who were originally friends with the Lin family or admired Lin Hong's demeanor, they happily went there when the invitation came.After all, Lin Hong was nowhere to be seen on weekdays or during the four seasons, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see him. On such a big day, some people would want to get close to him.

Officials who had no relationship with Lin Jiasu saw that Emperor Chengsheng had gone, so they could only come with congratulatory gifts.

And those who did not deal with Lin Hong in the first place, had quarrels earlier, or were dissatisfied with their father and son because of Lin Jian's actions in the past six months, they actually didn't want to come, but Emperor Chengsheng was close to the Lin family. Attitude, coupled with the fact that the people in the capital and even the Great Zhou had admiration for Lin Hong, they were unwilling to make the relationship between the two parties too tense, so in the end they finally let go of their disagreements and carefully prepared congratulatory gifts to come to the West Garden to congratulate Lin Hong life.

Lin Hong's birthday banquet thus became another feast after the Lantern Festival.

The time for the banquet had not yet arrived, and many officials from the West Garden had already arrived ahead of schedule.

Lin Jian is now the deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and concurrently holds the official position of Prince Shaofu. The elder brother Lin Yuan is a civilian official in the Lingnan Army, and the second brother Lin Liang is the magistrate of Lingnan. The size of the banquet is completely sufficient for officials.

However, when some people came, such as Prime Minister Yu's official position, it would definitely not be appropriate for Lin Yuan brothers and three juniors to welcome and accompany them. At this time, it was Lin Hong who came forward to welcome such people.

Although Lin Hong has practiced standing and walking with a wheelchair in private for some time, but now he has never shown the slightest in front of people. When welcoming guests and accompanying them in the hall, Lin Hong is still sitting in a wheelchair appearance.

In order to make it easier for Lin Hong to enter and exit in a wheelchair, all the ditches and ridges in the garden were smoothed out when it was built. Where there is a threshold, a path was specially paved beside it to facilitate Lin Hong to enter and exit in a wheelchair. .

There are many customers today, but Lin Hong's in and out are not affected, but today's protagonist is him, and everyone's attention is naturally focused on him.

These years, Lin Hong rarely appeared in front of everyone. Everyone knew that Lin Hong resigned from the position of general because of a leg injury. Everyone also knew that the part below the knee was amputated shortly after he was injured in the Lingnan Army. I went, but not everyone has seen Lin Hong after his injury.

Or it should be said that there are actually very few people who have seen Lin Hong after his injury.

At this moment, Lin Hong appeared lazily in front of everyone. They knew it was impolite, but they couldn't help but look at Lin Hong's legs. There was a big blanket covering Lin Hong's legs. I couldn't see it either, but everyone couldn't help but look at it.

It's not that Lin Hong can't feel those faint sights, but Lin Hong seems to be unaware, still chatting and laughing happily with others, with an upright and bold expression, making it impossible for people to see that the radiant middle-aged man in front of him is the one in the legend in the past. A former general who retired due to a leg injury.

Many people here who admire Lin Hong, when they have never seen Lin Hong before, whenever they think of Lin Hong's life, they can't help but sigh for Lin Hong's half life glory and half life mediocrity. They were bold and generous, but their movements were restricted because of a pair of disabled legs, and they could only spend the rest of their lives in wheelchairs. They sighed and sighed in their hearts, and they all felt uncomfortable for Lin Hong.

When the banquet was approaching, Emperor Chengsheng brought Xiao Yu here.

Emperor Chengsheng and the crown prince came in person, so the Lin family and all the guests naturally had to go out of the house to welcome them in person.

When Emperor Chengsheng and the crown prince were still on the road, the news reached the West Garden. Lin Hong wanted to get up with everyone and go to the gate of the mansion to wait quietly. Emperor Chengsheng took care of Lin Hong's body and specially ordered the eunuch sent to deliver the message. , allowing Lin Hong not to wait in front of the mansion.

Lin Hong responded to the eunuch's words and thanked Shengen, but instead of waiting in the court according to Emperor Chengsheng's words, he got up together with everyone and went to the gate of the mansion to greet him.

Originally, there was nothing worthy of attention when we went together.

But after the eunuch who sent the message led the way, everyone thought that Lin Hong went with them in a wheelchair, but when everyone's eyes were on Lin Hong, they saw Lin Hong put the blanket covering his legs The handle was lifted, and then it went straight to the ground under the instantly astonished eyes of everyone.

Lin Hong stood on the spot with a smile on his face, his clothes fell down, his tall body stood tall, and he looked at the crowd with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to welcome the Holy One together."

No one moved.

Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.

They all know the fact that Lin Hong has been unable to walk since he was injured a few years ago. He was amputated from the knee down. How can he still stand and walk?It was simply impossible to stand up.

But what do they see now?

——Looking at Lin Hong standing up nicely, his legs/legs looked completely fine, even though his clothes fell down to cover his legs/legs, but Lin Hong stood there firmly, and he could still see the two steps he took when he got off the wheelchair The pair/legs are well present.

Everyone was puzzled and confused, and at that moment they had no idea what was going on.

This momentary astonishment made everyone not move, but Emperor Chengsheng and the crown prince were about to arrive, how could they allow everyone to be here in a daze?The eunuch who sent the message was also surprised, but no matter how surprised he was, he dared not forget his errand. After Lin Hong reminded everyone to go with him again, the eunuch couldn't help but turn back and say a few words, asking everyone to move to the mansion. in front of the door.

At this time, Fang Rumeng woke up, and they rushed to the gate of the mansion together with Lin Hong to meet Emperor Chengsheng and Xiao Yu.

Everyone was startled at first, but when they went to the gate of the house together with Lin Hong, they secretly observed Lin Hong.

The previous doubts and confusions also have some explanations of their own. Everyone doesn't say it clearly, but they know it well.

Lin Hong can stand and walk, and he can't see it when he is standing, but he can still see it when he is walking.

Lin Hong's walking is not fast, and his steps are somewhat different from theirs, not as natural as theirs, and it looks somewhat awkward, and it can be seen that Lin Hong's walking is much more energy-consuming than theirs, as if he Every step of the walk is not so easy.

Slowly, everyone could see that Lin Hong's leg injury was real, and it was true that he was able to stand up now, but he was able to stand and walk now because he put something on his leg, even though it was covered by clothes and shoes, but everyone present They are the elites who have been up and down in the officialdom for several years, how can they not see it?

During these days, Lin Hong put on the well-made machine bracket to practice standing and walking. He really suffered a lot. He can stand up and walk on his own without support, but his big/leg bones still hurt a lot.

Because of the pain, he naturally couldn't walk as freely as when he had real legs.

Lin Hong can stand up after sitting down, but it is difficult to kneel down when standing with the machine on.

Kneeling in front of the mansion gate to welcome the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince, Lin Jian followed Lin Hong, he and his two older brothers supported Lin Hong to kneel down, and then he and Lin Yuan and Lin Liang knelt behind Lin Hong.

Emperor Chengsheng was better than everyone else. When Lin Hong was kneeling, Emperor Chengsheng looked as usual, but when Lin Hong got up and walked in with him again, Emperor Chengsheng had a look of surprise on his face. flashed by.

But everyone was in front of them, and under the large crowd, even if Emperor Chengsheng had doubts, he never asked in person. Naturally, he was the same as everyone else. As Lin Hong walked, Emperor Chengsheng already had some guesses in his mind.

It's just that I haven't seen Lin Hong standing and walking for many years, and I haven't seen Lin Hong's heroic posture for many years. At this moment, I suddenly saw Lin Hong standing like an ordinary person, and looked at him like an ordinary person in a daze, as if he had never experienced that accident. , and it is not at all as quiet and low-key as Emperor Chengsheng saw Lin Hong before. The scene at this time made Emperor Chengsheng feel a lot of emotion.

Emperor Chengsheng looked at Lin Hong's appearance at this time, and all kinds of scenes flashed in his mind. His greatest feeling at this time was that even though Lin Hong had already passed half a hundred years, Emperor Chengsheng always felt as if he had seen the mighty iron man. A strong general.

Lin Hong led the way for Emperor Chengsheng and the crown prince: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, please."

Emperor Chengsheng and the crown prince were distinguished, so the banquet set up for them was naturally not in the garden. After everyone greeted them, they went back to the banquet, with people from the Lin family to take care of them, and Emperor Chengsheng and the crown prince followed Lin Hong Take a seat in the water pavilion hall in the garden.

The water pavilion on the lake only welcomes the emperor and the prince, and is separated from the hustle and bustle of the guests in the garden.
