Lin Ji's struggling life

Lin Ji wanted to ask Lin Ruhai to talk about his begging for the emperor, but he couldn't find an opportunity, and kept procrastinating until after the new year, when Kangxi's appointment was issued, Lin Ruhai didn't know about it, and couldn't help being furious.

When he got home, he asked Lin Ji to kneel down in the main hall.It was also the first time for Lin Ji to face his anger directly, and he felt a little sad. Sure enough, no father in the world is easy to mess with.

Lin Ji didn't want to do this either, and it's true that he didn't think carefully about this matter.

Zarafon'a looked at Lin Ji who was kneeling in the main hall, circling anxiously like ants on a hot pot.Daiyu and Qingqing watched from the side, feeling timid and afraid to go forward.

"Father, the child has already made up his mind and made up his mind. I hope father will be fulfilled." Lin Ji said firmly, looking at Lin Ruhai with firm eyes.

Lin Ruhai's anger rose even more with Lin Ji's appearance, "I have made up my mind? Is it fulfilled? Do you still think you are justified?" He quietly asked the emperor for orders, and even volunteered to go to that barren land. He thought that the magistrate It's that easy to be.

Lin Ruhai looked at his son with a stubborn face, and thought that he hadn't grown up by his side, and he was used to making up his own mind about everything, which is why he developed such an independent personality.He couldn't help feeling pity in his heart, looked at Lin Ji, and sighed, the anger in his heart subsided a lot.

"Tell me, what do you think?" He sat down, intending to give his son a chance to explain.

When he was really asked to talk, Lin Ji didn't know where to start.He himself naturally thinks it is beautiful, and feels that everything is well arranged and perfect.But now looking at the angry father, the anxious wife at the door, and the two helpless younger sisters, there is still a trace of uncertainty.

"This is my long-cherished wish. Before, I thought that reading could help me fulfill this wish, so I studied hard." This is why he still chooses to study hard despite his martial arts skills. Live up to your time." Live up to everything he enjoys, this new life cannot be lived in vain.

"So you can fail your old father, your wife, and your relatives?" Lin Ruhai interrupted him angrily.

Lin Ji was speechless, he had thought about how to arrange them, but, looking at it now, it was indeed a bit sloppy.

Zarafon'a, who was standing outside, finally understood a little bit. She walked in and knelt down beside Lin Ji, "...So, father, where is Antai assigned? Is there still room for maneuver?"

"He asked for it himself, so there's no room for it." Lin Ruhai hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, "Our Lieutenant Lin is dedicated to serving the people, and only invites him to go to the local area to practice. The emperor appreciates his kindness and arranges for him to go to Liupan. At the foot of Shandong, Pingliang. Six-rank fellow acquaintance, you are very easy to serve, why don’t you let the emperor arrange a governor for you.” The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he almost wiped everything on the table to vent his anger.

Pingliang? !Zarafon'a began to search for information about this place in his mind, but found nothing.Looking at the persistent husband and angry father, she was also in a dilemma.

"And he has already made up his mind, so he will let you go with him. If Daiyu stays with me and Qingqing at home, he can show his talents!" This is what makes Lin Ruhai most angry, and he doesn't consider other people's feelings at all. .

Mengli and Zhang's mother, who were waiting at the door, looked at each other when they heard Lin Ruhai's angry words, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Lin Ji complained: "I didn't mean that..."

"Then what do you mean?!" Zarafon'a asked everyone's aspirations.

Just when Lin Ji was hesitating to speak, Butler Lin came in at the door, followed by Zhang Ruolin with a pale and anxious face.

Zhang Ruolin naturally also saw Lin Ji and his wife who were kneeling, but he couldn't care less about being rude, "I've seen Mrs. Lin, my cousin's husband, my father is critically ill, and my grandfather asked my cousin's husband to come to the house!" Speaking of his father, he couldn't help but Live red eyes.

Lin Ji quickly pulled Zarafon'a up, and Lin Ruhai couldn't care less about getting angry, "Antai will go with Ruolin first, and I will bring my daughter-in-law and I will arrive later." He hurriedly urged Lin Ji, "Antai, let's see if there is anything you can do. Pack up the medicinal materials you brought over, or if you have any proprietary medicines." He knew that Lin Ji and Wu'an had a deep relationship, and he did have some good things on hand.

Lin Ji followed Zhang Ruolin and rode his horse to Zhang's residence.

The two galloped all the way, and it took a while to reach the gate of Zhang's mansion. After entering the mansion, they went straight to Zhang Tingzan's yard.I saw a dozen or so members of the Zhang family gathered here, and everyone stood quietly, for fear of disturbing the doctor.

The members of the Zhang family consciously gave way to Lin Ji and came to Zhang Tingzan's bed. The imperial doctor was feeling the pulse. Zhang Ying asked for it, but it could not save Zhang Tingzan's life.Lin Ji looked at Zhang Tingzan who was lying motionless on the bed with a haggard face and a thin body like paper, and felt in his heart that human life is beyond one's control, it is up to God.

"My lord Zhang, I've done my best." The illness was terminally ill, and Immortal Da Luo might not be able to save her if she came. Doctor Zhang shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

Zhang Ying burst into tears, his eldest son, how much painstaking care he has poured into, and how much joy he has carried, now that a white-haired man sends a black-haired man, the grief in his heart cannot be suppressed.Xu's tears had already dried up, and her expression was dull. When she heard the news, she seemed to have her spine taken away, and she leaned on her eldest son's body all of a sudden.

Lin Ji also stepped forward to check, and when he felt his pulse, he found that Zhang Tingzan's vitality was rapidly draining, and there was really nothing he could do.He took out his silver needle, sealed a few acupoints, and fed him another medicine, "Grandfather, it can last for about half an hour. If you have something to say, hurry up." Don't leave regrets, this is also There was only so much he could do.

"Woooo..." The whole family couldn't help but cry, Xu propped himself up and leaned against Zhang Tingzan's bed, "Husband..."

Zhang Tingzan reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at the grief-stricken faces of the whole family. He knew it in his heart, but he was also relieved. "Father, I have no regrets or regrets in my life." He looked at Zhang Ying and tried his best to smile.

Zhang Ying looked at his son and stopped crying, "Yes, as a father, I know that my son will always be my pride and the pride of my Zhang family!" He looked at his son, and the grief in his heart was palpable, "You can go at ease, and you can return home!" There is me!" No need to worry about the funeral.

Zhang Tingzan choked up and said, "I know, I have nothing to worry about, that is, Mu'er's marriage, don't delay it because of me. Don't be afraid of a man, it's okay to keep it for three years, but the daughter's family can't be delayed, and I hope my father will deal with it a lot." .” He looked at his slim daughter, but it was a pity that he couldn’t watch her get married with his own eyes.

"Don't worry." Zhang Ying shook his hand, patted it, and then called the others out of the room, leaving Xu and her three children behind.

Lin Ji and Zhang Tingyu supported Zhang Ying to go out from left to right, and saw Lin Ruhai and Zarafeng'a rushing over.Zhang Ying chatted with Lin Ruhai reluctantly, and sat in the main hall feeling very sad.

This is not the first time that Zhang Ying sent away his children. When Zhang Miaozhi passed away, it was a huge blow to him and left him with heartache.If Zhang Tingzan left now, half of his life might be lost.When Madam Zhang heard the news, she was already sick in bed. I was afraid that her current physical condition would make it through this test.If there is something wrong with her, it will be a fatal blow to the Zhang family and everyone in the Zhang family.

"Please mourn Master Zhang!" Lin Ruhai understood the situation, but could only comfort him dryly.

Zhang Tingyu sat, feeling sad but not in pain. He knew about his elder brother's illness early on, and he had made sufficient mental preparations.What he wants to plan now is the future of the Zhang family and everything after Zhang Tingzan's death.

"Antai, take Zarafon'a to see your grandmother, comfort her, and don't make her worry." Zhang Ying summoned Lin Ji and Zarafon'a away, and he wanted to talk to Lin Ruhai in detail.

The two discussed the situation in the court, and now the emperor intends to suppress the prince, but the arrogance of the Communist Party has become more and more arrogant, and the situation in the court has changed again and again.

Before the two of them reached a conclusion in their discussion, Xu's mournful cry had already been heard.Zhang Tingzan went anyway, and everyone in the Zhang family was immersed in grief.

The funeral was simple and the weather was cold. Xu insisted that the eldest son and second son escort the coffin back to Anhui, along with Zhang Ying and Zhang Ruomu.

The team delivering the coffin went first, and Zhang Ying left behind.On this day, Lin Ruhai brought Lin Ji to Zhang's house, Zhang Ying also calmed down and discussed with Lin Ruhai about Lin Ji going out to be an official.

"I asked Tingyu to disclose Antai's decision this time, and I asked Tingyu to discuss it with him." Zhang Ying said, and couldn't help but look at Lin Ruhai who was surprised, "I I am going to resign and go back to Anhui. Chaos is growing in the court. It is more appropriate for Antai to go elsewhere. Besides, the Gansu Inspectorate is my good friend. With him watching and the emperor's preference, he will not suffer. .”

Only now did Lin Ruhai understand why Lin Ji dared to be so bold and invited him to go to Pingliang, a barbaric place.He is helpless, but he also knows that Zhang Ying's decision is understandable, but he must be missing one thing, and that is Zarafon'a. "That place is remote, it's okay to go to Antai, but Ajiao Zarafeng is spoiled, how can she stay there?"

It's not that Lin Ruhai looks down on people, but that Zarafon'a has been raised in a deep boudoir for more than ten years, and his ten fingers are not in the sun.Gansu is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. Most of the places are bordered by deserts and sparsely populated. Most of the Muslims there are tough and good at fighting. How can she adapt.And Pingliang, where Lin Ji was going, was located in Liupan Mountain, which was even more desolate in comparison.Although Lin Ji is a sixth-rank official, he is also rich, but sometimes it is more dangerous to have money.

Zhang Ying choked, he really didn't think about this.What he had always planned was to let Zarafon'a stay in the Lin family, serve his parents-in-law and take care of his sister-in-law.But according to what Lin Ruhai meant, he wanted Zarafon to follow him?He was full of doubts, and glanced at his son, he was a little uncertain whether it was his son's intention or Lin Ruhai's intention.

Zhang Tingyu said calmly and calmly: "It's good for Zarafeng to go with you. You can cultivate a good relationship with Brother Ji. Young couples always have to be sticky. Besides, if you are pregnant, you can come back again." It’s okay to have a baby in Beijing.” Anyway, it’s close to the river, so it’s convenient to travel.

Only now did Zhang Ying know his son's plan, and his intentions were sinister!This is clearly what the son meant, and the Lin family never mentioned a single word from the beginning to the end.

Zhang Tingyu resisted his father's stare and said again: "Uncle must also believe in Brother Ji's ability, he will definitely be famous." The more difficult the conditions, the easier it is to achieve political achievements.
