[Red House] Raiders of life

Lin House.

Lin Ningzheng and Qin Qing were sorting out various medicinal materials.Qin Qing is the only daughter of Dr. Qin, the doctor of the Lin family.Because there are more masters in the Lin family now, so they use more.People like them usually have all kinds of pills for clearing away heat, detoxification, and bruises.

And Lin Ning now has these that she and Qin Qing refined together, and all the water used from planting to boiling has been replaced by Lin Ning as her fountain of life, so the efficacy of this medicine is different from before.This is also the reason why she often finds it difficult to take out the spring water for others to eat.

These years, Lin Ning has been too idle in the mansion, and Jia Min handles the house affairs. When she has nothing to do, she uses the excuse to take Qin Qing with her, and opens up a medicine field, and she often goes to the field to serve.After such a long period of time, the people in the mansion have become accustomed to the old lady playing with medicinal materials, and it is not strange to see it.

It was said that she came to play with it, but she just watched Qin Qing clean it up.After all, when you get older, the fountain of life is not omnipotent.

Yao Huang was already married, but Lin Ning was used to her, and seeing that she was willing, he recruited her back the year before last.

Yao Huang is an old man who understands Lin Ning's thoughts best, seeing Lin Ning's tired face, he helps Lin Ning back to the house.There is a book case in the side hall of the house.At this time, Daiyu was taking Lin Nuo to practice calligraphy.

Lin Nuonai is the youngest son in the family. He is only four years old now, and he still can't rest assured. After practicing for more than a quarter of an hour, he has already lost his composure. When he saw Lin Ning come in, he was very happy, and he wanted to run away as soon as he threw the pen in his hand. Come over, but was grabbed by Daiyu, "Father has to check for half an hour every day."

Lin Nuo's face collapsed, and he glanced at Lin Ning. Seeing that Lin Ning had no intention of speaking for him, he turned around and saw Daiyu's resolute expression, and resigned himself to picking up the pen again.

Lin Ning laughed, looking at the side, Daiyu was very pleased.Now the Lin family has four sons, only one daughter is Daiyu, who can be said to be the most important person in the family.In this life, with the support of his father and brother, everything goes smoothly, but there is still a little sickness and worry in his brows.

I don't know if it was fate, but Daiyu's body is fine, but Lin Yi, the third son of the Lin family, was born prematurely and has suffered from heart disease since he fell.

This kind of congenital heart disease is a headache in modern times, not to mention the time and space where the medical level is below the current level.Even if she has gold fingers like the Fountain of Life, she can't be cured, but at least it has some effect.After taking good care of her over the years, she is no longer a serious problem.

Just thinking about it, I heard "Third Young Master" from outside.

Lin Ning turned around and saw Lin Yi coming in from outside, Lin Ning frowned, "Why don't you rest in the room?"

Lin Yi laughed and said, "It's just a minor illness, and the doctor said it's fine. It'll be fine after a couple of days. Grandma doesn't have to be so nervous."

Lin Ning glanced at him and pulled him over. Seeing that he didn't wear much, but his hands were warm and his complexion was not bad, he was relieved.

"Grandma, there's no reason why people can't get sick if they eat whole grains. This time it's not a heart attack. Don't worry, grandma."

Lin Ning looked at Lin Yi, sighed, and felt in a daze that they were too cautious as elders. Over the years, because of his illness, they didn't allow this or that, but if there was any trouble, there would be a big fight.In fact, in the child's heart, he also has many expectations, and wants to ride a horse and shoot arrows like ordinary people.It's because they're too protective.

However, when Jia Min was pregnant for several months and gave birth to him, it was very difficult, so she was not willing to let him take a little risk.And Lin Ning has really stayed in the old lady's shell for a long time these years, and his psychology has gradually followed the old man's mentality, and he is even more reluctant.

Lin Ning patted Lin Yi on the head, it seemed that they were too protective and owed him a lot.

Lin Yi smiled brightly, looked at Lin Nuo who was aiming at him from time to time, and obviously wanted to talk to him, but Daiyu who looked at him didn't dare, and practiced calligraphy absent-mindedly.

Lin Yi didn't point it out, she just dragged Lin Ning to the other side room, and Lin Ning knew that there must be something wrong.As soon as I sat down, I heard Lin Yi ask: "Grandma, are we going back to Beijing?"

Lin Ning was stunned for a moment, this was indeed what she had discussed with Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.She took the children back to Beijing first, and Jia Min stayed to assist Lin Ruhai.It's just that I haven't talked to a few children yet.

Lin Yi said again: "Now the princes are all grown up. Concubine Zhen loves the sixth palace, and there are princes under her knees. Although my father only inspects salt censors for Yangzhou, there are vacancies for inspecting salt censors in Gusu and other places. I don't know, the whole area of ​​Jiangnan is in the hands of my father. But my father is strict in his rule and refuses to do what they want. The Zhen family has long disliked it. This summer, the emperor granted all the sons, but only the son of Concubine Zhen won the title of prince , and the rest are just county kings."

Lin Ning's heart skipped a beat, seeing Lin Yi was both relieved and distressed.He's only 11 years old.Lin Ning didn't know if he answered the phrase "Huiji will hurt".

Lin Yisu has a heart disease, and her body and bones are not as good as others, but she has been smart since she was a child, and she can understand everything, and draw inferences from one instance.I don't know how many times stronger than Lin Xun.Even at his age, Lin Jin couldn't compare.

Lin Ning sighed: "We have these things, so don't think too much. Thinking too much is not conducive to your recovery."

Lin Yi's expression darkened, and he opened his mouth and finally said, "Grandmother, mother will definitely not want to leave. Why don't you let me stay too. If there is anything, I might be able to help."

Lin Ning chuckled, knowing that Lin Ruhai wouldn't be worried, so he begged her to come. "It's enough for you to have this heart."

But seeing Lin Yi's anxious face, Lin Ning said again: "Grandmother knows you are sensible and intelligent. But no matter how clever you are, you are only 11 years old. Do you think you can think of things that your father can't think of?"

Lin Yi's face turned red, he was indeed in a hurry, he was always proud of his intelligence, but he forgot that it was only for his peers or those two or three years older than him.But as a member of the Lin family, he couldn't help worrying, and being concerned would cause chaos.

"Grandmother, did father send secret documents to the emperor?"

The smile on Lin Ning's face got bigger, and he even thought of this.It is reasonable for Lin Ruhai to do things for the emperor, and the emperor will also relieve Lin Ruhai of his worries.

Lin Ning sighed again, facing Lin Yi, she couldn't use the method of coaxing Daiyu and Lin Nuo, it wouldn't work.So she decided to be honest.Although this child is young, he is a success.

Lin Ning pulled him to sit down next to him, and said: "This time I came to Beijing, not just to understand your father's worries. For one thing, your elder brother needs to end next year, and we have no master in the Beijing Zhonghou Mansion, let him alone Your father is worried about people going to Beijing. Second, your eldest brother is also sixteen, and this marriage should be put on the agenda. Our family will return to Beijing sooner or later, so we plan to choose in Beijing. Third, I also want the imperial physician to give you Take a look at your body. Although you have taken care of yourself well in the past two years, it would be even better if you let the Tai Hospital take a look at it."

Lin Yi listened carefully, but there was some confusion on his face. If he was worried about the future, Beijing may not be safe. Even with the emperor's protection, the situation in Beijing is complicated, and I am afraid that Bo Yun is even more treacherous than Yangzhou.But even with these points mentioned by Lin Ning, it was not enough for the Lin family to return to Beijing.

Seeing that Lin Ning really couldn't deceive him, he shook his head and sighed, "It's the emperor's intention."

Lin Yi's complexion changed drastically. Is the emperor rewarding and killing the Zhen family, but is he afraid of his father's betrayal?So you want to use the Lin family as a hostage?

"You think too much. The emperor still trusts your father now. This move is just in case. After all, it is the emperor. No matter how much you trust, you always want to save a trick. Besides, this move can be regarded as a guarantee for your father , no matter what happens in Yangzhou, the emperor will protect the Lin family's heirs. With this kind of grace, it will also make your father feel more at ease in his use."

It can also make your father more grateful, dedicated himself, and died.Lin Ning did not say this sentence.This is the emperor's mind.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Lin Ning say again: "Moreover... there are several princes who have come to Jiangnan."

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, "For that batch of tax money? Father plans to build plank roads and secretly hide the tax money in our family boat and send them to the capital?"

Sure enough, it's an inference, and it's clear.

"One month later will be the day when tax money is sent to Beijing every year. I am afraid that the purpose of several princes going to the south of the Yangtze River at this moment is not simple. Your father also wants to act cautiously. Our ship will go first. Your father will leave in half a month. I will prepare three more official ships to deliver the tax money now."

Lin Yi was surprised: "Has father collected the tax money in advance?"

"Yes!"

Lin Yi suddenly realized, "In this way, we are half a month earlier than expected. Others may not think that my father's actions are so fast, let alone a boat full of people. Father will rest assured to put a large amount of silver on this boat. .Then there are three official ships covering them. Others will only guess which of the three routes is real and which two are fake. It is absolutely impossible to think that all three routes are fake. When they stop all three routes, the money He has already entered Beijing with us and entered the treasury."

Lin Ning showed approval, "Smart!"

Lin Yi did not feel the joy of being praised, but rather embarrassed.He only thought of it as an afterthought after Lin Ning ordered it. Remembering that he had vowed to recommend himself that he could help, he was even more ashamed now thinking about it.

Lin Ning saw his embarrassment, smiled and patted his head and said: "You are still young, when you are a few years older, with your intelligence, you will surely be able to share your father's worries."

Lin Yi raised his head, his eyes were as bright as stars.

The grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing, and suddenly heard a loud shout from outside: "Grandma! Grandma save me!"

He didn't see him, but he heard his voice. In line with the fiery tone and the eager footsteps of kicking, the two looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.
