Lin Tingli is Lin Tingxun's younger brother. He is fifty years old and is in the prime of life. He is tall and tall. When he enters the door, his hair almost touches the lintel. His face is full of flesh. The skin on his face is not smooth and is full of small bumps. He has a fierce face.
Very well, when he walked in, he immediately said to Lin Xuzong: "You are really a good son of my eldest brother!" He turned around and greeted several sisters-in-law, then walked into the inner room proudly and asked the doctor: "How is my eldest brother's condition?
"
Lin Xuzong scolded Pitou sternly, as if a basin of snow water was poured on his head in this severe cold season, and he stood there in a daze.
Lin Fu watched the second master of the Lin family walk into the back room, feeling that he came very quickly.
Shiliang County is the easternmost county of Dongyang Prefecture, embedded between the three prefectures of Jiangning, Weiyang, and Huai'an. Although it belongs to Dongyang Prefecture, it is 300 miles away from Dongyang Prefecture. The Lin family discovered that Lin Tingxun was ill when the rooster crowed in the early morning.
He sent someone to report the news to the second master of the Lin family, and he had to go very fast and without any pause on the road. With the second master of the Lin family, he could outrun and kill two good horses.
Lin Fu naturally didn't believe that the second master of the Lin family had a deep brotherly love for Lin Tingxun. Lin Tingli rarely went back to the forest every year except for ancestor worship days. Lin Tingli came in and scolded Lin Xuzong. It was so powerful that it made Lin Xuzong lose his temper.
There is either feces or feces in the crotch. Lin Tingxun just needs to be able to catch his breath. If Lin Tingxun passes away like this, Lin Xuzong will be guilty of unfilial piety...
The second master of the Lin family rushed back to prevent Lin Xuzong from ascending to the throne!
Lin Fu thought about what the sixth lady said in the inner room just now, and directly blamed Lin Tingxun's illness on Lin Xuzong. Lin Tingli came back and said to Lin Xuzong, are they in the same group? Yesterday, Wu Qi, the crow, lurked in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.
Scouting the movements of the Lin family here, it can be determined that Lin Tingxun fell in the east side hall of the ancestral hall, which should have caused the root cause of the disease, but the specific situation is only known to Lin Zonghai, Gu Changshun and Lin Xunzong, who were also in the east side hall at the time. Lin Zonghai and
Who among Gu Changshun told the Sixth Madam the details, and who asked the messenger to go to Dongyang Mansion to tell Lin Tingli the details?
Unlike Gu Changshun, for him, after Lin Tingxun passed away, it would be safest for him to turn to the second son Lin Xuzong, who was already the default heir, and there was no rich man who was more willing to fight for him.
Lin Zonghai? Only Lin Zonghai is left. He usually seems to be loyal to Lin Ting, but he turns out to be quite scheming.
Lin Zonghai had the closest relationship with Lin Xuwen, the eldest son who was working as a criminal clerk in the capital. In addition to family ties, he was also related by marriage. However, Lin Xuwen was in Yanjing, two thousand miles away, and was beyond his reach to what happened in the forest. Maybe
After Lin Tingxun died, he had to go back to Shanglinli to live in filial piety for three years, but when he came back, the cucumbers and vegetables were all cold.
Lin Zonghai may not be helping Lin Xuwen.
If Lin Zonghai, the Sixth Lady, and Lin Tingli join forces to prevent Lin Xuzong from ascending to the throne and label Lin Xuzong as unfilial, if Lin Tingxun cannot get up this time, either the eldest son Lin Xuwen will go back to Linli to take care of the family business, or Lin Tingxun's ten-year-old son Lin Xuxi will be promoted.
As a puppet, the Sixth Madam, Lin Tingli and Lin Zonghai can manage everything behind the scenes. Lin Tingli is probably reluctant to give up his official position as Dongyang Prefecture's Tongpan and return to Dongyang Prefecture City. Then Lin Zonghai is just covering the sky with his hands? What a good idea.
.
Lin Fu glanced at the Sixth Madam, whose face was covered with an embroidered handkerchief and whose beautiful eyes were red and swollen. The Sixth Madam was named Shanrou when she was in the boudoir. She was only twenty-six years old. She was at the age when a woman is at her most lush and enchanting, and her face was so delicate.
Just like the person in the painting, she has pink face and red lips, beautiful eyes with waves, wearing a brocade coat, gold embroidered waistcoat with red edges, and a slightly tight waist. Even though she is wearing cold clothes, her chest is bulging, which makes people can't help but look at her.
Stay and take another look.
In Lin Fu's heart, although Lin Tingxun was lying in bed and wasted, he enjoyed rare blessings in the world in his later years. Not to mention the seventh lady, the eldest lady, the second lady, and the fourth lady died young, and the fifth lady and the sixth lady were all chosen from a thousand.
Beautiful, the three ladies and ladies are still half old, and they can still vaguely see the grace of those years ago.
It's enough for a man to be like Lin Tingxun in this life. Lin Fu remembered that he was single when he was shot in his previous life. He finally got to know a girl on a blind date, but it was because she couldn't hold back her constant hints that he stole it in the park.
After two times of meat.
Thinking that Mrs. Six, a weak woman, was not someone who could endure loneliness, Lin Fu smiled secretly, thinking that now is really interesting. Lin Xuzong, who wished that Lin Tingxun could die early, probably hoped that Lin Tingxun would get better at this time, otherwise he would
The shit in this crotch is really hard to wipe clean.
"There is nothing I can do about Mr. Lin's disease. I can only prescribe medicine to see if it has any effect..."
Seeing Chen Yuting, the most famous doctor in Shanglindu, shaking his head and sighing in front of several ladies, it meant that Lin Tingxun was lucky to be able to stay in bed for a while, and it would be too luxurious to stand up again.
No matter whether Lin Tingxun is bedridden from now on or dies in two days, it will not be detrimental to the Seventh Lady. Even if Lin Zonghai, the Sixth Lady and Lin Tingli join forces to label Lin Xunzong as unfilial, Lin Xuzong is by no means completely powerless to resist.
The madam is the main wife, so how can she not help her biological son? The two sides are evenly matched, and the eldest son is an uncertain factor in Yanjing. Gu Yingxiu, the seventh lady with Gu Wuchen as her backer, becomes the
It’s someone that neither party would want to offend.
Lin Tingli stayed in the back room for a while before coming out. He saw Lin Xuzong's face turned into a stinker. After a while, he noticed Lin Fu: "You are the boy from the Lin family's farming family! You have a lot of potential, and you are young."
I won the exam, and I have the courage to do things, so my achievements in the future will definitely be higher than mine."
"The second master got the prize, and Lin Fu got lucky. He is no more talented and learned than the second master back then." Lin Fu was sure that Lin Tingli knew what happened in the past few days from the messenger. In the past, Lin Tingli only came back every year to pay homage to his ancestors.
In Shanglinli, he was a descendant of the fifth branch of the clan and was not eligible to enter the ancestral hall when worshiping his ancestors. Even if Lin Tingli had seen him, he probably wouldn't have left much of an impression.
Lin Tingli then showed concern for Lin Fu's future plans as an elder. It was as if he heard for the first time that Lin Fu had kicked his elder brother out of Shanglinli because of the mule and horse market the night before. He said in surprise: "My elder brother is doing something."
It's not fair. If I were you, I would react like this. What's the crime?" He pressed Lin Fu's shoulder affectionately, "If you want to serve the Lin family, you must stay in Dongyang to find a career. I will do it for you.
How to do it, don’t worry that the head of the family will blame you for not leaving Shanglinli when he wakes up..."
Lin Tingli was a general magistrate from Dongyang Prefecture in the fifth rank, and his official status in Dongyang Prefecture was only slightly lower than that of the prefect Shen Rong and the co-prefect Dong Qin. Although Lin Tingli and his brother Lin Tingxun were not in harmony, they represented the interests of the Lin family to the outside world, and there was a place for them.
Lin Tingli, who is backed by the powerful Lin family, is actually on par with the outsider magistrate Shen Rong in Dongyang Mansion. If it were Lin Fu before him, he had no ambitions and no responsibilities, and would obey the family's arrangements in everything.
A good background.
Lin Fu smiled and rejected Lin Tingli's attempt to win over him, saying: "Honesty is hard to the ears but good for the deeds. The master's words of advice are still in my ears. The master may think that I lack experience, so how can I not know what to do? I will leave Dongyang Mansion when the master's illness is better."
, go to Jiangning to find a career..."
Lin Tingli's face was uncertain, and he laughed again: "Okay, if you are ambitious, the men of the Lin family should go out and seek a bright future..." He laughed loudly in the outer room, but he was not afraid that Lin Tingxun had been hit by the wind and had not lost his consciousness. He obviously thought that
Lin Fu wanted to go to Wuchen, a bigger tree. Maybe those romantic rumors were not just made up by Zhao Neng, the son of the family.
Lin Fu considered that even if they jointly deposed Lin Xuzong and supported the ten-year-old Lin Xuxi to become a puppet, it would not be detrimental to the Seventh Lady. It would be okay to have a more ambiguous attitude at this time, and stood there with Lin Tingli to chat.
Although Chen Yuting, the doctor at Shanglindu Medical Center, is no worse than the doctors in Shiliang County, Lin Zhai still sent people to invite several famous doctors in the county, and also sent a car to Weiyang Mansion to invite doctors. The sunset stopped on the treetops in the afternoon.
At that time, three doctors from the county consulted on Lin Tingxun's condition and shook their heads to ask for help. Only then did Lin Fu have the opportunity to walk into the back room and visit Lin Tingxun's bedside.
When they met the night before, Lin Tingxun still had bright eyes, and although he could not hide his old age, he still had the power of a tiger. Now, although his eyes were open, they were dim and dull, unable to speak, and his mouth was crooked with bright saliva flowing from it.
The corner of his mouth dragged down. When he saw Lin Fu walking in, Lin Tingxun shed two lines of tears from the corner of his eyes and dripped on the pillow. Lin Fu really didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe these people couldn't wait for him to die and treated him as if he was dead.
Performing.
As the sun set, the famous doctor hired by Kuai Ma from the Weiyang Mansion made a diagnosis on Lin Tingxun and concluded that no matter how skilled the doctors in this world were, they would be helpless against Lin Tingxun's stroke, so he could only use acupuncture to maintain it for a while and wait for fate.
This made many people breathe a sigh of relief, and Lin Fu also breathed a sigh of relief. Only Lin Xunzong had a sad face.
Although Lin Tingxun is still conscious, he cannot speak. He can only blink his eyes and cannot move his limbs. The hope of recovery is slim. Although it is not necessary to introduce a new head of the family immediately, the Lin family cannot live without someone in charge. Lin Xuzong also knows that he cannot force anything at this time.
Otherwise, Lin Zonghai, Lin Tingli, Sixth Madam, Seventh Madam, Lin Fu and others will attack. Lin Tingxun is not dead after all, which is also in line with the wishes of Lin Tingli, Sixth Madam, Lin Zonghai and others. After all, the eldest son Lin Xuwen will not
Returning to Shanglin due to the mourning system, of course it was impossible to push Lin Xuxi, a ten-year-old child, out to be a puppet.
Lin Tingli summoned all the important people in the clan to discuss it all night in the outer room outside the bedroom of Tingxun in Cishu Garden. It was probably because Lin Tingli wanted to give Lin Xuzong Dora a rival, and Lin Fu was also invited to join the discussion - after all, Lin Fu was not
After expelling the Lin family, there were also few prominent figures in the Lin family - in the end, the person in charge of the various affairs of the Lin family remained unchanged.
On the surface, the seventh wife Gu Yingxiu became the biggest beneficiary. After all, she had only replaced Lin Tingxun in the farm, warehouse, papermaking workshop and other industries before. Now she no longer has to be Lin Tingxun's chess piece, and she looks powerful. In fact, the farm, warehouse, etc.
Each papermaking workshop has its own person in charge, and they are mainly members of the Lin clan. It is a big question how much responsibility Gu Yingxiu can take. In short, it is a blessing to be able to initially escape the shadow of Lin Tingxun.
Gu Yingxiu asked Wu Qi to retain seven foreign horse dealers as dealers. Lin Tingli and others did not object. In their view, Gu Yingxiu was a member of the female class who married into the Lin family as a concubine. Even if she cultivated her own
The power is only for self-protection. Besides, the sixty tall and good horses are also needed by the township camp, but Lin Fu does not want to let the township camp have a cavalry force that cannot be underestimated before the situation of the Lin family is clear, so he only agrees to sell it
Twenty horses are given to the township camp, and the other war horses are nominally under the name of the Seventh Lady. As long as we can recruit people, and Wu Qi and others are here, we can train the Seventh Lady to use a fine horse.
There are many horse-producing areas in the world, but the sources of fine war horses are mainly concentrated in Hexi, Yanbei, Donghu and other border areas. In the past hundred years, the empire has had little control over these areas, and the Donghu people now even threaten the safety of the pass.
It is impossible to obtain high-quality war horses from Hexi, Yanbei, Donghu, etc. In the Central Plains, there are only high-quality horse sources from Xiling and other places, but they are all monopolized by the town army, and the quantity is extremely limited.
Generally speaking, a farm ox can be sold for four to five thousand yuan in Dongyang Prefecture, while a horse for pulling goods can cost twice as much as ninety thousand yuan. A riding horse is even more expensive. A good horse that can be used as a war horse is sold in Dongyang Prefecture.
It is not difficult to understand the high price of one hundred taels of silver; one hundred taels of silver can buy a large two-masted ship that can be transported on the Shiliang River.
Dongyang Prefecture's Horse and Soldiers Department also has a riding camp. Although it has a full establishment of 500 people, it only has 200 horses. Only the horses of a few officers in the riding camp can really catch up with the average level of the horses brought by Wu Qi.
Lin Xuzong privately raised sixty-seven soldiers, all of whom had horses, but most of them were short-headed Sichuan horses with limited endurance. They were not suitable for charging on the battlefield. Otherwise, the mules and horses on Shanglindu would not have been defeated the day before yesterday.
The market openly wanted to forcefully buy these horses, which resulted in this series of events.
On the surface, Lin Xuzong did not suffer any losses, but in fact he suffered the most. The bandits he raised privately had withdrawn from Dongyang Mansion, and their return was far away. He used to be in charge of the township camp and many miscellaneous tasks, but now the commander of the township camp, Lin Zonghai, is not the same person as him.
, he naturally can't get involved in rural affairs. As for other chores, he has to be pushed to his head before he can do anything.
