Here is the second update - I burst into tears and struggled with the background for nearly half an hour before I came up.
——*——
Tao Shunqin asked them to go over at this time, probably because of the matter in Pingzhou, and he didn't know what news he got. Lin Jinrong and Lin Jinyin stood up in silence and headed outside against the rain. Along the way, Lin Jinyin took Lin Jinrong's hand.
He held it tightly, just like when Lin Jinrong was wronged when he was a child.
Yilang was Lin Jinrong's little tail and wanted to follow him closely. He leaned in Pan's arms and saw the two sisters holding hands tightly. He didn't know what he thought of, so he smiled. Lin Jinyin smiled at him.
He had no temper, so he had to ask him: "Why is Yilang laughing?"
Yilang didn't answer, he retracted into Pan's arms and looked at her and the two of them laughing even more happily.
Seeing Lin Jinrong frowning tightly, Lin Jinyin could only sigh softly: "My child doesn't have much to think about. You should think less and think more."
Lin Jinrong smiled lightly: "It's okay." What she was thinking about was how to use this opportunity to persuade Tao Shunqin and his family to take refuge in Jiangnan.
After a while, when I arrived at Tao Shunqin's living room, I saw two stewards standing in the corridor with their hands hanging down. There were water stains on their boots. It was obvious that they had just rushed in from outside. When the two stewards saw Lin Jinyin leading someone over, they immediately stepped forward.
He bowed his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and said hello: "I'm going to say hello to grandma, little one."
Lin Jinyin said kindly: "The two chief stewards have worked hard, and it's raining and you have to run around like this." She has been a housekeeper for many years, and although she is kind and gentle, the generosity and majesty she reveals inadvertently is real.
The two stewards said respectfully, "Grandma, you're welcome."
Tao Shunqin heard voices inside and said, "Come in quickly." When Lin Jinrong and the two sisters went in together, Yilang kowtowed to him and waved his hand casually: "You're welcome, please sit down and listen to what the stewards have to say.
He asked Lin Jinyin again: "Ah Yin hasn't let your mother know yet, has she?"
Lin Jinyin said hurriedly: "I never scared her." Seeing another pile of account books piled up in front of Tao Shunqin, she couldn't help but sternly went over to collect the account books and said angrily: "I told you to rest.
It’s business to be healthy and well, why are you so unwilling to listen in the blink of an eye?” He turned around and scolded the people waiting on the side: “I won’t do this next time.”
"Don't blame them." Tao Shunqin smiled, touched his hair that was nearly half gray, and sighed: "I'm much better, aren't I? How can a junior be so cruel to care about his elders?" As he said this, he winked quietly with Lin Jinrong,
He said Lin Jinyin was too fierce.
The relationship between the two of them was completely different from that of Lin Jinrong and Lu Jianxin. It was more like a father and daughter, who were considerate and caring for each other. Lin Jinrong was extremely envious in his heart, and knew that Tao Shunqin was just trying to comfort himself and prevent him from wanting to do anything.
He was too nervous, so he smiled cooperatively and glanced at Tao Shunqin, indicating that Lin Jinyin had always been so fierce. Lin Jinyin noticed it and did not dare to glare at Tao Shunqin, but only stared at Lin Jinrong threateningly.
Badger Lang came in from outside and said with a smile: "Grandpa, are you looking for me?" When he saw Lin Jinyin and others, he saluted and said hello.
Tao Shunqin returned to the subject: "We are all sitting down. Fengtang and Fengju are not at home. Badger Lang is the man of our family, so he should come and listen to what is going on in Pingzhou and follow us to figure out a solution."
Badger Lang suddenly changed his serious expression, sat down at the bottom, and whispered: "What's wrong with Pingzhou?" Without waiting for the adults to say anything, he said worriedly: "Everything is fine at my grandfather's house and my fourth aunt's house.
Bar?"
Lin Jinrong sighed secretly, look at how well this child can be taught... Then he touched Yilang's head, thinking that he didn't know what this child would look like in the future. Yilang was holding a fruit and chewing it when he saw his mother.
Touching his head, he just raised his head and smiled, feeling naive and innocent, just carefree.
However, Tao Shunqin called the two stewards waiting outside to come in and told them: "Tell us what you have learned."
The elder of the two stewards said: "The information I just learned from the magistrate's office is very accurate. There are more than sixty people in total who killed the inspection envoy and the school captain, and set fire to the magistrate of Fukuo County.
The government office stabbed the magistrate, attacked the magistrate's office all night, and shouted that he would kill Yu Zongsheng on behalf of heaven. He ordered the envoys and the magistrate, and the magistrate's family members to escape from the back corner door and hid in a stable nearby. The magistrate's office was burned down.
More than half of them were killed, and about fifty people were killed or injured. The rebels left the city just before dawn. Several shops were robbed, and I heard that several wealthy households were also besieged. But who were they now?
It's not clear who was killed or injured. Troops were sent to pursue them from the second day, and the city was under martial law to search everywhere. They were only allowed to enter, but not to leave. The same was true for Qingzhou.
The situation is very tight, and it is not easy to find out other information privately now. I am afraid we will have to wait a little longer."
There are only a few famous families in Pingzhou City. The three families of Lu, Lin and Wu are too conspicuous. The Lin family is okay, there is no big shop with a particularly prosperous business, but the Wu family is different from the Lu family. They are usually famous for their wealth.
If the rebels want to get some money, they will most likely be the first to bear the brunt. Tao Shunqin was speechless for a long time, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lin Jinrong and comforted him: "Don't worry, the number of rebels is not very large. Lu, Lin,
There are quite a lot of people in the Wu San family just to look after the house and the courtyard. On weekdays, the door is tightly guarded and it is not easy to get in. As for the shop, even if it is robbed, it is just to give up money to avoid disaster. "
Lin Jinrong clearly remembered that the Lin family did not suffer any losses at first, but the Lu and Wu shops were robbed of money to varying degrees. As for people, I didn't hear of anyone who died. I think most of the people who were killed or injured were
People in the government and the army. So although they were worried, they were not very worried. In turn, they comforted Tao Shunqin: "No matter what, it has happened, and there is no point in worrying about it. It's just my mother..."
"I'll talk to her again when the news is confirmed." Tao Shunqin said without hesitation: "Anyway, I can't make it back now. It doesn't matter whether she knows it or not, but her worry is in vain. But in this case, Xiaoqi and the others probably won't be able to make it back as scheduled.
I'm here to pick you up. If the delay is too long, I have to find a way to hide it." He then ordered the two stewards: "Go to the accounting office to collect some money and see if there is anyone in the Yamen who is going to Pingzhou on business. Bring that person.
I have inquired about the news from my relatives nearby, so don’t be stingy with money!"
The two stewards took it upon themselves to leave without mentioning anything.
Lin Jinyin called Badger Lang and warned: "Did you hear everything? I can't tell your grandmother, don't let it slip."
Badger Lang nodded sensibly: "I know." After saying that, he looked at Yi Lang and said, "But that's not necessarily true for Yi Lang. Maybe he will let it slip at some point, and I won't be blamed at that time."
When Yi Lang heard his name being called, he raised his head from the fruit and blinked at Badger Lang. Without understanding anything, he said clearly: "Don't rely on me."
Even at such a moment, the atmosphere was extremely heavy, and everyone couldn't help but laugh. Lin Jinyin even said to Badger Lang: "Look, look at your brother."
Badger Lang touched Yi Lang's head like a little fox and said, "He's not talking about me. He must have been used to being relied upon by others at home, right, Fourth Aunt?"
Lin Jinrong said: "He only learned this from his third brother before he came here. He never forgets it and calls him Mo Lai for everything."
Badger Lang smiled proudly at his mother: "Look, I'm not talking about me. How can I, an older brother, rely on my younger brother?" After saying this, he asked Tao Shunqin, knowing that nothing would happen without him, so he asked again.
Lin Jinrong agreed and took Yilang to play with Yulang.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Lin Jinrong stood up and said seriously: "Uncle, I have something to tell you."
Seeing her serious expression, Tao Shunqin also calmed down, but he didn't want her to stand: "Sit down, sit down and speak slowly. You don't have to do this to your own flesh and blood."
Lin Jinrong did not sit down, but said: "Uncle, do you still remember what Erlang told you about the gentlemen when we first came here?"
Tao Shunqin nodded: "I remember. Erlang was worried that something like Fengzhou would happen in Pingzhou. Why?"
Lin Jinrong said sternly: "Earlier, everyone might have thought it was groundless, but now Pingzhou has begun to take shape. Qingzhou is not only suffering the same consequences, but it is also closer to Darong. My eldest cousin and third cousin are not at home.
On weekdays, you are the only elderly patient with your sister, mother, and a few women and children. I think uncle should have made plans earlier. Otherwise, he should just recuperate and go to Jiangnan to relax and wait for things to stabilize here.
It’s okay to come back.”
Tao Shunqin was silent for a moment and smiled softly: "It's not just a few of us, there are also many clan members. The street behind is full of clan members of the Tao family. If there is any trouble, no one will care about it. Let's talk about the people in the house.
There are a lot of servants taking care of things. Look at my wall. Is it high enough? Don't be afraid."
Having reached this point, he was still so stubborn. Lin Jinrong had no choice but to show some anxiety: "Uncle! The two children haven't seen their father for a long time."
Tao Shunqin still said: "Don't worry, we will talk about it in a few days. If there is really chaos, you will definitely have to evacuate. Apart from other things, I will go just for Ayin and the children. Just rest and go
.”
Lin Jinrong saw that his face was already showing a tired look, so she had no choice but to stop talking, and together with Lin Jinyin, she helped him drink the decoction and lay him down, then quietly left.
The rain was hesitant when it came, but it fell quickly. When the two sisters left, they saw a rainbow hanging high in the sky. It was indescribably gorgeous, and the air was fresh and pleasant. Lin Jinyin stood in silence
He looked at the rainbow in the yard for a while and said softly: "Ah Rong, don't persuade him. He is reluctant to leave his aunt. If you try to persuade him again, he will let me lead the child to find your eldest cousin, but how can I do this?
What happened?"
But... Lin Jinrong's tears suddenly welled up, almost breaking through her eyes and falling out. She tried her best to hold her head down for a long time before covering it up, and said softly: "Maybe nothing will happen here in Qingzhou." She didn't know, she didn't know at all at the beginning.
What is the situation in Qingzhou, and what is the fate of her relatives!
