Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 225 Lin Zihao's Family Affair
As soon as the shopkeeper arrived in front of Lan Lingxue, he immediately gave a respectful salute,
"How did you think it opened so early?"

Although the shopkeeper of this store is very good at managing the store, he is very cautious in his behavior. According to his temperament, he should not dare to make such a claim. Lan Lingxue felt that there was something strange about the opening of this store.
"It's Manager Zhao. After Jingli settled down, Manager Zhao found us shopkeepers together and held a few small meetings. Everyone made a decision together, thinking that now that Jingli has settled down, the eldest lady should also be very happy. I'm coming back soon, we don't need to worry too much about doing our own business, it's better than Missy coming back to shop one by one, I also thought, let Missy come back and see us old guys are the most important things .”

The last sentence made Lan Lingxue laugh. With these people under her command, she has nothing to worry about. Apart from opening new stores, these stores that have been smoothed out, besides looking at the accounts and splitting the money, she really doesn’t need to worry about it anymore. How much heart it took.

"Where's Manager Zhao?"

Lan Lingxue thought about the sudden arousal at the time, and felt that Manager Zhao was still astute, so she wanted to take it for her own use. If she had become a confidant, she really didn't let herself down. Since he took the lead in the shop in Beijing, it must be the case outside The newly opened shop is also smooth sailing.
"Officer Zhao has been patrolling each shop in turn these few days. He was afraid that this new opening would cause any trouble. He had already been to our shop early today. At this time, I really don't know which one Steward Zhao went to. gone."

Lan Lingxue just asked casually, and now that the store is safe, she is relieved.

"I don't need to look for him. When he comes to the shop tomorrow, let him go to the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to look for me. He probably doesn't know I'm back."

Lan Lingxue left a message to the shopkeeper, praised her again, and returned to the courtyard in Beijing with her small hoe.

Looking at the courtyard with the locked gate, Lan Lingxue asked the second senior brother to open the gate. In the past few months, the courtyard was still very depressed. The branches were criss-crossed and muddy. Before Lan Lingxue could say anything, the second senior brother had already rolled up his sleeves, brought a shovel over, and first cleared the stone road leading to the main house, so that several people could enter the house , and cleared out the road leading to the well, which will be used soon, and the house cannot be cleaned without fetching water. Chunhua also looked for a water basin with a wink, and went to the well to fetch water Come on, the two of them were in the house and the other was outside, but they quickly made up their minds. Little Hoe and Lan Lingxue were not idle, and they each reached out to help. After getting along for a long time, Chunhua and the second senior brother did not hesitate. Stop it, I know that my young lady and young master are not of the temperament of not sticking to the spring water.

Two rooms were cleared out of the house, which could barely accommodate people. Chunhua and Lan Lingxue simply tidied up the kitchen. At this time, the yard had been cleaned up and looked good. Little Hoe led the second senior brother into the house rest,

"Sister, you two should rest too, as long as we can clear out two rooms for us to live in, we will call two women and one cook back tomorrow, and we will clean up the rest at that time."

When leaving Beijing, all the servants here also let go of their deeds, because they are all from the capital, so they don’t plan to use the little hoe anymore. He thought, he’d better buy a few more servants and come back. Well, people in Beijing have a lot of thoughts, preferably from the countryside, they are down-to-earth and not slippery. It turns out that the people in the yard are still thinking too much. He really doesn't like it. Anyway, there are Qi Liang and Second senior brother, the servants of the family, just tidy up the yard and take care of the house.

"You guys don't need to come back to live in a hurry. You have to clean up the yard before you can live in it. Chunhua and I are in a hurry to clean up these two rooms and come out, just so that we can sit with peace of mind now. You don't have to rush to go to school. At this time, we will go to the Chinese Academy to check the situation, maybe there is no class there, we have to figure it out before moving back."

I just returned to Beijing, and everything is still unclear, Lan Lingxue certainly didn't want her younger brother to be too hasty, to get things sorted out, so that she could settle down and do things.
"I didn't move back in a hurry because I was in a hurry to go back to class. I wanted to resume riding, archery and martial arts training as soon as possible. At least there is a small martial arts training ground in our yard. When I was in Banhe Village, I asked Brother, he said that the master is also in Beijing now, the second prince... oh, now he is going to be called the prince, and the prince gave him a yard, so I thought, move back quickly, so that the master can often come to give pointers , I have been practicing for so many years, and I practiced randomly by myself. It happened that the master was here, so I asked the master to correct me. If I practiced well, I also asked the master to teach me. There must be some progress. "

Lan Lingxue was naturally happy to hear that Little Hoe was so motivated, and when she heard that Uncle Zihao was also in Beijing, she was so happy, she wished she could meet him right now.

"If you don't tell me, I'd forget. Uncle Zihao's father is an official in Beijing. I heard that the official position is quite high. I wonder if their father and son have reconciled?"

The two of them didn't like Lin Zihao's biological father, so they both called him father, and didn't think there was any disrespect. Lan Lingxue knew that their father and son recognized each other, but the father of the Lin family didn't seem to dare to be the wife of the family. The master, although he recognized his son, he only set up a yard outside for his son to live in, but he dared not admit to his family that this was his own son. According to Lin Zihao's character, of course he would not compromise, otherwise he would not He went to the border to serve as a soldier, but now he is an official of the lieutenant general. I don't know if his father can still be the head of the family.

"Sister, I heard that Master's father's father-in-law, that is, the Grand Scholar of Zhengyipindian Pavilion, was arrested and sent to prison, and the whole family was implicated. It was Master who interceded with the second prince, saying that Master's No matter what the stepmother said, she was also a married daughter, so their room was spared from prison, but everyone knew that Master's father was actually the son-in-law who came to visit, so what kind of married daughter, that is, the second prince gave the master face."

Hearing my sister ask about Master's family background, Little Hoe must have learned from his sister all the things he inquired about.
"Why did you go to jail?"

Lan Lingxue was a little surprised, this is already a first-rank official, what else is worth making mistakes for him,

"It is said that they participated in the rebellion. The troubles in Beijing these days are caused by the two princes. How could they rebel naked? Naturally, they contacted a lot of people. Master, his father-in-law is one of them. The situation was suppressed by the second prince in the end, but these lords and high-ranking officials who were implicated, how could they have any good fruit to eat, master and his father were not implicated, it is already lucky, I heard that the prison is overcrowded."

This news is too violent, but thinking about it again, which time the palace change is not involved a lot, and the innocent people involved are countless. To be able to save your life in such an incident, I have to say, this Daddy Lin has to thank him for his dispensable son.

"Where do you get all this news from?"

Lan Lingxue felt that since leaving Beijing, she had always been with Little Hoe, why did he know so much information that she didn't know?
"Of course my brother gave it to me, otherwise, where would I get so much news."

Little Hoe thinks that her sister has become stupid, and she can guess things like this without saying it herself.
"Senior brother, isn't senior brother always with us, how can he get the news?"

Moreover, in Lan Lingxue's heart, the second senior brother was too honest and behaved too well. There was no reason why he could get the news, but he himself didn't know it.
"What are you with us? I mean Brother Zhiyuan. Brother Zhiyuan told me this news."

If the little hoe hadn't mentioned it, Lan Lingxue would have forgotten about it. An Zhiyuan and the little hoe also had a brotherhood, so she really ignored it.

"It's too late today. I don't think we can go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Let's go back to Zhuangzi first. Don't make your parents wait. If we don't come back for a long time, let them worry about it. Let's go to the city tomorrow. , one is to see if Chinese studies are open, and the other is to go to see Uncle Zihao and see how he is doing recently."

That's good, of course, Little Hoe is going to see Master, but he just returned to the capital, and everything is not arranged properly, so it's not good for him to go out without authorization.
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister, so hurry up and go see Master tomorrow."

Several people hurried back to the Zhuangzi, and they saw their father waiting at the gate of the Zhuangzi.

"Father, why did you come out?"

"It's okay, I just went out to relax, and it happened that you two came home."

Lan Erzhuang didn't want to express his worries. The siblings are smart and sensible, and they don't have to worry about things. If they come back later, they must be delayed by something.

"Let's go back, Dad, it's still cold outside. Although it's spring, but the cold weather is coming, it's better to pay more attention, so as to save mother from worrying."

Lan Erzhuang originally came out to wait for his children to return home, but now he naturally fulfilled his children's wishes.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go back to the house, let alone, I didn't feel anything wrong just standing there, but after standing for a while, it really is a bit cold."

As he was walking, Lan Erzhuang realized that his feet were a little stiff, and they were indeed frozen. Just now, because he was worried about his children not returning, he didn't pay attention to the discomfort on his feet. The steps are a little stiff,

"Father, take a look and say that you should pay more attention to yourself. What if you get frozen, what will you do? My brother and I are adults, so don't worry, we do things properly."

Of course, I know that children have a sense of proportion, but as parents, how can they not worry about their children.

"Father, soak your feet in warm water when you enter the house, and I'll rub them well for you. If it's really freezing, but you have to commit it every year, then you will suffer."

Lan Lingxue helped her father to walk into the house, and at the same time asked Chunhua to prepare hot water, Chunhua went in a hurry,
"It's so easy to freeze. Dad's body is strong. He went out to work for three or nine days, and he didn't get frozen."
