Lu Yan called in Yingying and others to light the lamps and set out the food. He first handed Yilang to Dou'er and Pan to eat his own portion of the food, sent away the waiters, and took the soup handed over by Lin Jinrong.
, trying to make his tone calmer: "When I was over there in Taiming Mansion, I heard that there was another civil unrest in Qianzhou. I calculated with my friends in Taiming Mansion, and in the past few years, there were about 20 people in Qianzhou.
Civil riots broke out in various states one after another. The rioters ranged from dozens to hundreds to thousands. They swarmed everywhere and killed about fifty or sixty patrol inspectors and county captains."
Lin Jinrong lowered his head and took a mouthful of rice: "I wonder what's going on in this world."
Lu Yan sighed and said softly: "I came from Wuyi Pier. Most of the people who used to live down the mountain ran up the mountain. Bandits were rampant, and pedestrians walked in groups. They didn't dare to walk alone. Even during the day, there were people robbing people! Wuyi
There is a family nearby. Their granary was robbed a few days ago, and not even a grain of grain was left! Their house was burned down and people were killed. The whole family cried miserably."
Lin Jinrong raised her head and looked at him: "So, it is a matter of time for Pingzhou... Yilang must be sent away. The family must also persuade." She no longer used words like probably, maybe, but used affirmation.
tone.
Lu Yan stared at the flickering candlelight and whispered: "They won't believe it. I have tested their intentions today. Even my sixth brother who came with me laughed at me for worrying too much." Lu Jianxin
He even directly denounced it as nonsense and nonsense. The reason remains unchanged. There are many guards. Yu Zongsheng's thunderous methods are here. This tax is not just like this in Pingzhou. It is like this in many places. It is not necessarily chaotic.
Where has it gone?
After hearing what he meant, Lin Jinrong seemed to agree with her, so she straightened up even more and said, "Then let's..."
Lu Yan looked at Yi Lang, who was happily eating in the distance and playing coquettishly with Pan and Dou'er from time to time, and nodded lightly: "Let's discuss it carefully."
He believed her! Although Lu Yan was able to make this judgment based more on what he saw and thought on a daily basis, and it was inseparable from her always playing the role, but as a man, he still prides himself on being a man with certain knowledge and ideas.
, how difficult it is for him to have a completely different view from Lu Jianxin and others, to be keenly aware of the danger, to believe in her, and to agree with her! Such a heavy burden has always been on her, and now there is finally someone who can be with her.
She shared the burden, and Lin Jinrong was excited and sad. He didn't know what to do for a moment, and could only stare blankly at the rice grains in the rice bowl.
Seeing that she was just in a daze, Lu Yan thought she was frightened, so he gently put his hand on her shoulder and said worriedly: "Ah Rong?"
Lin Jinrong raised her head and looked at him and smiled. Her eyes were as bright as stars, and her smile was like a blooming jasmine, white, elegant and fragrant.
"Uh..." Lu Yan was a little strange. The same look he had just now suddenly changed to a smiling face. So he couldn't help but reached out to touch Lin Jinrong's forehead, and then touched his own forehead to make sure that she was still normal, and then he took it seriously.
Authentic: "Excessive emotional fluctuations are not conducive to health."
Lin Jinrong burst out laughing and picked up a piece of tofu for him: "Eat more."
Within two days, Yilang felt a little unwell. He asked a doctor to see that the effect was not very good, so Lin Jinrong started to pray for him to pray to gods and Buddhas. Lin Yuzhen asked for a sign at Pingji Temple and asked an old monk to interpret it.
The truth is that he has committed a crime, and it is best to go to the south to find a foster family with the same horoscope so that he can grow up safely. Lin Yuzhen was full of doubts. Although she rarely asked people to inquire, she never went to Jiangnan to speculate. Lin Jinrong was afraid that it would cause trouble between her and Lu
Jianxin suspected that the second reason was that he had not persuaded Tao yet and did not dare to make it too obvious, so he stayed at home and occasionally gave hints to fan the flames.
At the same time, Lu Yan traveled frequently to various places, and went to the Lin family, the Wu family, and the gentlemen, with the purpose of persuading them to make early plans. Needless to say, the gentlemen, the whole family was already preparing to move. Although Old Mrs. Lin
He didn't express his opposition to Lu Yan's views, but he didn't cooperate with him. He just listened to him. Tao didn't take it to heart. He felt that since Lin Shenzhi and Lin Jinyin were in Jiangnan, there was nothing to worry about. The Wu family
After seeing him once, he declined politely. He did so outstandingly that he became a thorn in Yu Zongsheng's side, so he sent someone to invite Lu Jianxin to the newly built Ambassador's Palace for tea. Lu Jianxin had to go and come back.
He was furious, and with a livid face, he called Lu Yan and gave him a slap in the face. He was not allowed to go out again, let alone say anything disruptive.
Although he tried his best to remain like this, he became a madman. His personal power was too small. Lu Yan had no other choice and discussed with Lin Jinrong: "Now, like Mr. Zhu, I am regarded as a madman who talks nonsense, but
If I don't persuade them, I can't bear it. If I try to persuade them again, I'm afraid I'll bring trouble to my family before that day comes. Why don't you take Yilang and leave first."
In the past, Lin Jinrong would have hugged Yi Lang and left without hesitation, but at this time, she felt reluctant to let go again. Because she was suddenly not sure whether Lu Yan survived that year. Lu Yan saw
She was silent, but she had another thought: "Of course, if you just take the child away like this, if there is no bandit trouble, it will be difficult to come back in the future. Just follow the originally agreed method and get your brother-in-law's horoscope."
I'll leave the bead shop to my father and ask my grandmother for help. I think it won't be too difficult for us. I'll pick you up after a few days and I'm sure nothing happens."
But before the two of them could take action, the merchant ship traveling with Pingzhou was robbed on the river near Wuyi Pier. Dozens of people were killed and injured, all the goods were robbed, and most of the ship was burned.
The damaged merchants and wealthy households went to the magistrate's office together, and the pacification envoy formed a petition in the office, all demanding that the mountain bandits and river bandits be annihilated.
Yu Zongsheng showed great toughness and immediately agreed to everyone's petitions and demands, mobilized troops and prepared to suppress the bandits. Of course, the national treasury was empty and the soldiers had very little pay, so they needed support from wealthy households. Because of this,
There was also a shipment of goods from Lu Jianzhong, and Lu Jianzhong was inevitably bleeding.
At this time, no matter how perfect the plan is, it is not appropriate to go out. Seeing that winter has entered, Lin Jinrong was so anxious that he could not sleep for half the night. Even after making every preparation, he got the support of Lu Yan
, she suddenly became uncertain about the future. For the first time, she discovered that the things she had mastered in her previous life were really pitiful. She didn't even know whether Yu Zongsheng really sent troops to attack the bandits, let alone what the final battle would be like. The only way she could
It was certain that there was still more than a month left before that terrible day, and she prayed devoutly.
The day when the troops were dispatched was the sixth day of the winter, and the almanac said everything was going well. It is said that the officers and soldiers fought fiercely with the bandits for three days and three nights, and achieved an overwhelming victory. On the day when the good news came, there was light snow in the sky.
, Lu Yan and Lu Jianxin were "invited" by the elated Yu Zongsheng to appease the envoy and share the joy of his victory.
"Everything is under my control, how can an ant shake a big tree?" Yu Zongsheng deliberately offered a glass of plain wine to Lu Yan and asked him in front of everyone: "Is Min Xing feeling at ease now?" Without waiting for Lu Yan's answer, he asked again
He taught him a sincere lesson: "Young man, it is a good thing to be cautious, but if you are too cautious, you will easily be timid and accomplish nothing." This meant that Lu Yan was as timid as a mouse, and then laughed at him: "Mr. Zhu, you are old, and it is difficult to move in the winter.
It’s really hard work.”
Lu Jianxin was very angry and hated Yu Zongsheng. He secretly cursed Yu Zongsheng for not having a good death. However, he had to bow his head under the eaves of others. He barely managed to hold back his anger and returned home. He was furious at Lu Yan, saying that he regretted that he should not have killed him in the first place.
He was sent to be taught by lunatics, causing himself to be humiliated in public. Lu Mian said nothing and let him talk as he pleased. No matter how angry Lu Jianxin was, he couldn't get angry with a piece of wood.
There was no choice but to let him go.
Lu Yan stepped into the door despite the snow, and saw Lin Jinrong wearing a plain robe, sitting alone under the lamp doing needlework, with a thin back and a focused expression. It was obvious that when he came in, he immediately gave him a bright smile and hugged him tenderly.
He and her warm and soft body relieved Lu Mian's depressed mood to a certain extent - it would be best if he could solve the banditry problem from then on, but if this proves that everything he did before was a joke, and this joke
It will stay with him for the rest of his life, but it is also really frustrating.
Lin Jinrong knew where Lu Yan's frustration came from. She gently circled Lu Yan's waist and asked him in a low voice: "Erlang, when you did this, you must have thought of everything. You knew it might happen."
If you still do this, that is true courage.”
Lu Yan was silent for a moment, then burst out into a smile: "Arong, do you want to tell me that you just want peace of mind?"
Lin Jinrong nodded: "Know the fate of destiny to the best of your ability. Your purpose is to prevent more people from disaster, so no matter what, you have done it now." There is no longer any reason to persuade others, even Lu Mian seems to be wavering.
Now, she seems to have returned to the time when she was able to support herself independently. But there is no other way but to do it step by step.
However, changes always happen inadvertently. The power of fate is that you know from memory that there is a big pit in front of you and you should avoid it, but you don't know that there is also a pit in the other direction.
Senran Dakou is waiting for you.
The next day, when the sky was about to dawn, the snow had just turned the walls of the house white, and the fire suddenly dyed half of the sky red. The sound of shouting and killing came from far and near, as if it was not real in a dream, but also as if it was in my ears.
There is no room for escape. When Lin Jinrong woke up from his dream, his first reaction was to quickly pick up Yilang, ignore his crying, quickly put on clothes for him, and then look at the packages that he kept aside every day.
, made sure that she was fine, and loudly ordered the alarmed girl and mother-in-law: "Don't mess up, go and find out what's going on first!" She heard her voice was extremely calm, and at the same time she knew clearly that cold sweat was soaked in her chest.
Clothes.
God, the thief, it really refused to let her go easily. She was only one step away, and it didn't even say hello or give any hints. It just launched it in advance when the soldiers had just won the battle. Lin Jinrong took it with him.
With a strange smile, he looked at Lu Yan who walked in hastily and said softly: "Erlang, I guess something is wrong."
