Need for money

Lin Tian walked into the small courtyard, called Second Uncle cheerfully, and threw himself into Lin Jingzhi's arms, giggling non-stop. This cute appearance is really likable.

"My concubine pays my respects to the second master." Because Lin Jingzhi didn't agree with Lin Zhou's sending his son here in person yesterday, Lin Zhou's fists were clenched and he looked very cautious.

"Get up." Lin Jingzhi gave him a hand, planning to have a showdown with Aunt Yu, so he turned around and looked at Aunt Yu.

Seeing that Lin Jingzhi didn't tell her to leave, Lin Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that her son would not be able to suffer from martial arts.

"Yu'er, today I brought Tian'er here just to discuss with you, see if you can accept him as an apprentice and teach him martial arts."

When Aunt Yu raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, she was ready to refuse. Her martial arts skills are not easily spread by accident.

In this day and age, martial arts skills are generally only passed on from one's family members, and are not passed on to women, so one should cherish one's own self, while apprentices with foreign surnames can usually only learn some superficial kung fu from their masters.

Seeing Aunt Yu's expression on the outside of the veil, Lin Jingzhi knew it was going to be bad, and before she refused, he hurriedly said again: "Yu'er, you also know that Guifang has moved into my small courtyard now, and the past In a short time, he will marry me, and Tian'er will be my stepson, and also your son."

In this era, the status of a concubine is extremely low, just like Aunt Yu. Although she is also Lin Jingzhi's woman, the sons of Lin Jingzhi's regular wife and his second wife don't even need to salute when they see her, let alone her son. up.

So Lin Jingzhi's words definitely elevate Aunt Yu's status. Lin Zhou's temperament is kind, and she didn't say anything when she heard this sentence. Now she is still thinking about how to deal with Lin Jingzhi's wives and concubines. , and even happy to be able to establish friendship with Aunt Yu.

Surprise flashed across her eyes, and Aunt Yu forcibly retracted what she was about to say. She first asked Lin Jingzhi to put Lin Tian down, then she stepped forward and groped on Lin Tian's body. After a while, she stopped and said, "He His bones are very ordinary, even if he starts to practice martial arts from now on, he will not achieve much in the future."

Hearing this sentence, Lin Zhou was not angry but happy. She was thinking that she would not want her son to practice martial arts. Only by studying and getting fame will he have a future.

Lin Jingzhi lamented that it was a pity that such a good master was wasted. After thinking about it, he said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how much Tian'er can learn, anyway, he will study in the future to gain fame. So I want him to practice martial arts, just to let Tian'er have a healthy body, and in the future Tian'er will go to other provinces to rush for the exam, so it will be safer if he has martial arts."

Aunt Yu understood, and then said: "I will teach him martial arts, but I will not accept him as an apprentice."

When Lin Zhou heard what Lin Jingzhi said earlier, she was stunned. She didn't expect that Lin Jingzhi planned to train her son to be an all-rounder in civil and military affairs!

It seems that I have misunderstood him, this man has really regarded Lin Tian as his own son.

Seeing Lin Jingzhi's profile, she smiled happily, and made up her mind that she would never doubt Lin Jingzhi again about her son.

"Okay, no problem!" Lin Jingzhi smiled, he had no opinion, as long as he was willing to teach, it didn't matter what he called him, then he pulled Lin Tian over and said, "This is Aunt Yu, please call me Auntie."

"Tian'er pays tribute to Aunt Yu." Lin Tian obediently bowed to Aunt Yu.

"Yeah." Aunt Yu snorted, and said: "Although the sooner you learn martial arts, the better, but Tian'er is only less than five years old now, and his bones are too soft, so he can't suffer too much, otherwise he will suffer in the future." Leaving the root of the disease, before the age of six, I just helped him lay the foundation for practicing martial arts, and I will not teach him martial arts for the time being."

"Okay, you are the master, you have the final say."

After Lin Jingzhi finished speaking, Aunt Yu asked the two of them to run with her, because Lin Tian was still young and was spoiled before, so after running a few steps, his tired face flushed and he gasped for breath.

"Tian'er, run with Second Uncle, don't stop."

"You can do it, hurry up and chase me."

Every time he passed Lin Tian for a lap, Lin Jingzhi would encourage him with words. Lin Tian was also quite tenacious. In this way, at the age of four, he ran seven or eight laps around the courtyard wall before he could no longer lift up. His thigh fell to the ground.

Seeing her son panting heavily and sweating profusely, Lin Zhou's heart throbbed in pain, and she wished to pass all the sufferings suffered by her son on to herself. At this moment, she saw her son fall on the ground He fell to the ground and ran over to help his son up immediately.

But someone had already stepped forward and hugged Lin Tian into his arms.

This person is Aunt Yu. Aunt Yu admired Lin Tian's tenacious personality at such a young age. Maybe hard work can make up for his weakness. When this little boy grows up, he will have a lot of fun in his martial arts journey achievement.

Picking up Lin Tian, ​​Aunt Yu went straight to the middle of the small courtyard, then put him on the ground, spread his legs apart, and pressed him down. Because the child's bones are soft and the ligaments are also elastic, after running for a long time, he did it again. After the warm-up exercise, Aunt Yu pushed Lin Tian to the bottom without much effort, and did a big split.

Lin Tian didn't cry because his legs were only slightly uncomfortable.

At this time, Lin Jingzhi and Lin Zhoushi also hurried forward.

Pressing Lin Tian to the bottom, Aunt Yu supported him with both hands, stretched out one foot, stepped on the base of Lin Tian's back thigh lightly for a while, then picked him up, and changed the direction of his front and rear legs.

"Tian'er, are you in pain?" Finally, unable to hold back, Lin Zhou asked nervously.

If it doesn't hurt at all, that's impossible, but the second uncle once told him that a man can't cry easily, so Lin Tian didn't cry, he bit his lip tightly and shook his head vigorously.

At this time, Lin Jingzhi smiled slightly and extended a thumb to him.

Seeing this, Lin Tian rolled his eyes and grinned.

Aunt Yu helped Lin Tian stretch for a while, then made him stand up, and said, "I don't care what you want to play next, but there is one thing, you can't lie down and rest."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jingzhi understood that the left and right were just for Lin Tian to exercise more. As a child, he exercised his body while playing, so he raised his finger and stood at the gate of the compound. At the same place, a few little maids who came with Lin Zhou called over, "You guys come over, and you will send Tian'er over in the morning in the future. Don't go back after you come, just play with Tian'er and be happy." , um, do more games."

It's a good job to just play with the master, but what kind of game do you want to play?The little girls frowned and lost their minds.

Seeing this, Lin Jingzhi naturally had a solution, and directly taught them how the eagle catches the chicks. After a while, bursts of crisp laughter resounded in the small courtyard.

It's been a long time since I played this game, and Lin Jingzhi has also passed the addiction. He is like an old hen, protecting a group of maidservants and chicks behind him. If Lin Tian wants to exercise more, he will naturally become an eagle.

He originally wanted Mrs. Lin Zhou and Aunt Yu to come down to play together, but Mrs. Lin shook her head repeatedly. She is shy in nature, and she is the master, so she can't run around like those little maids. laughing out loud.

Aunt Yu shook her head lightly. She has never played games made by children since she was a child.

Just as Lin Jingzhi was protecting the chicken cub behind him, sweating profusely from exhaustion, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the courtyard, and then Shi Mo ran in in a gust of wind, and he hurriedly ran in without greeting the masters. Said: "Second Master, Lord Chengshou Wang has issued an invitation card, please go to Qianlixiang Restaurant to narrate as soon as possible."

coming!

Lin Jingzhi narrowed his eyes, received the invitation card in his hand, opened it and looked at it, the general meaning was nothing more than that a large area of ​​natural disasters broke out in the north, and the imperial court did not have enough money and food to relieve the disaster, so they planned to send the famous people in the city All the rich people gathered together to raise some silver taels.

In troubled times, heroes emerge in large numbers, and at the same time, it is also a good opportunity for officials to gain political achievements. If Wang Meng can settle the tens of thousands of refugees in Los Angeles, and report them in the future, it will also be a great achievement.

Of course, if it was the other way around, if there was any turmoil, then the position of guarding the city would have to be vacated and replaced by someone else.

Since he had expected Wang Meng to do this for a long time, Lin Jingzhi didn't see the slightest panic, and calmly ordered: "Shi Mo, I will go out of the mansion later, so don't follow me, you stay at the mansion, and let me go." Cook more porridge in the kitchen, um, it should be thicker, it can make people full. Remember to add some red beans and a small amount of salt in it. In addition, you should organize all the things you need to open the shed to help the porridge. Wait for me After a while, our Lin family will be the first to open a shed to help the refugees in the north."

"Yes!" Shi Mo replied, and was about to leave, but then remembered something, so he stepped forward and whispered a few words.

Lin Jingzhi nodded when he heard the words, and then waved his hand to signal Shi Mo to go down and get ready.

It turned out that last night, the guards of the Lin family saw that there were many refugees on the avenue, and they could take advantage of the chaos. They attacked decisively in a remote forest, beheaded Aunt Yue's family and Lin Le, and buried them in the underground.

Hearing Lin Jingzhi said that he was leaving the mansion, Aunt Yu went back to her room and changed into clean clothes, while the maid in her yard fetched fresh water to help Lin Jingzhi wash off the sweat and dust from his face.

After settling down Mrs. Lin Zhou and asking her to watch Lin Tian play and not rest for too long when she was tired, Lin Jingzhi and Aunt Yu walked towards the gate of the house side by side.

When they came to the door, the guards had already brought the horses. Since the black steed was tamed by Aunt Yu, it became her special mount, while Lin Jingzhi could only ride a second-class white horse.

Not long after leaving the mansion, Lin Jingzhi met wave after wave of refugees. These refugees were in large groups of two or thirty people, and in small groups of three, four, or five. They should have come from one place, and the whole family had run out to seek refuge. .

Seeing these people's numb expressions and unkempt appearances, Lin Jingzhi's heart tightened. He never wanted to be a good person, but it was impossible to turn a blind eye to this.

Because he still has a conscience.

In order to come back earlier to open a shed to help porridge, he clamped the horse's belly with his legs and accelerated his marching speed.

Because there were so many people on the street, it took half a stick of incense before the group of them arrived at the door of Qianlixiang Restaurant and jumped off their horses. The early people had already gathered in the hall, and the most conspicuous one was Wang Meng, the city guard of Luo City, who was wearing an official robe.

As he walked in, everyone in the hall looked over, then nodded, and continued to chat with the people around him, but there were exceptions, such as Lord Wang Meng, who stared at his figure closely, his eyes hesitating, The meaning is unclear.
