Chapter 5 Transformation

Ten miles west of the capital, the wind blows and snow rises, and the bare willow branches sway in the cold wind.

Lin Wen looked at his brother and didn't say much - everything he should say has been said, and it's already been here, and it's useless to say more. Lin Wu looked at Lin Nan and Lin Zhi standing behind Lin Wen, nodded silently, then bowed to Lin Wen and Lin De, and turned around and boarded the carriage. In the carriage, Chen's eyes were already red and swollen. He finally saw his two sons. He had to part again in just a few days. How could he withstand it? In order to be afraid that the child would be sad to see him, Chen never left the carriage from beginning to end...

Lin He next to him also said goodbye to the person who saw him off, and then took Lin Heng, Lin An and his two daughters into the carriage, and went south with Lin Wu.

In the snow, the horse's hooves raised fine snow mud and gradually moved farther away. Seeing the carriages and horses gradually turning into a black dot in the distance, Lin Nan's nose felt sore, and everything in front of him suddenly became blurred. Someone behind him patted his shoulder and said in a low voice, "Let's go, go back!"

In Jingbei Bo Mansion, the old lady was sitting on a chair with a dazed expression and didn't know what she was thinking. The hot tea on the table was getting colder and no one had ever drunk it. Zhou and Xia, Zheng and Xue Yi were sitting by their side, but the old lady didn't listen to anything. I can't remember how many times they left home, but every time I watched them leave, the old lady felt a sense of air. This time, there was a hint of uncontrollable panic...

There was a chaotic footsteps outside, and Lin Wen and Lin De walked in with the rest of the people, as if they felt the cold air. The old lady shivered and recovered and looked at Lin Wen steadily: "They... are they leaving?"

"Well, let's go!" Lin Wen answered indifferently: "Don't worry, mom, the second brother and the third brother are going south, and they have been together for a long time, and they have taken care of each other. Even if the second brother arrives at the office, there will be a third brother's business there. At that time, not only will the third brother's business be easier, but the second brother is short of his hands, but the third brother can also help."

"Well, what I'm saying..." The old lady nodded hunchedly, as if she couldn't even hear Lin Wen's perfunctory words.

Lin Wen glanced at Zhou and the others, and showed dissatisfaction in his eyes. Then he glanced at Lin Nan standing beside him. Suddenly he had an idea and came to Zhao and laughed loudly: "Mom, don't always think about the second brother, there is something more worth thinking about in front of him! The second brother is gone, but his two sons are left here. This is his lifeblood. If my uncle doesn't take care of him, he will have to settle the score with me when he returns to Beijing in the future! Speaking of which, this kid is now a second-rank official, and his official rank is one level higher than mine!"

"Well... I have to take care of it..." Zhao finally gradually became a little energetic when he heard this. He turned to look at Lin Nan and Lin Zhi, and slowly reached out to pick up the teacup. After taking a sip, he suddenly found a little cold. When Zhou saw it, he hurried over to change it to the heat.

As Zhao looked at it, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart. Although there must be a crisis in his second son's trip to Hannan, he has been an official for many years and must not be able to hide some bumpy places. If it is really as Du Ning said, there is a big pit in front of him, how should he repair it? The second son himself will definitely be more careful, but as a mother, can he really only watch and can't help at all? Not necessarily, not necessarily...

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao's face became hard and gentle. I don't know how long it took, but the old lady turned around and asked, "When is it now?"

Zhou hurriedly replied: "It's the third hour of Si."

"Oh... It's only 300 seconds. Oh, that's not that after eating for a while?" Zhao thought for a while and smiled self-deprecatingly: "But my stomach suddenly became empty..."

Zhou looked at the old lady and asked carefully: "Is mother-in-law hungry?" Seeing Zhao nodding, Zhou quickly said: "This is not delayed. I think it's because I've had more things just now and my mother-in-law has eaten less. I will ask the kitchen to do it now."

"Well... wait," Zhao called her and asked, "Now my mouth is a little light, I want to drink bird's nest porridge."

"Oh..." Zhou responded, turned around and walked outside, but his steps were not fast, and his face seemed a little embarrassed. Lin Wen felt a little strange when he saw it. He was about to ask her, but he saw Zhou wink at him, and hurriedly shut up and followed him out.

The two of them went outside and walked into the yard. Lin Wen couldn't help asking, "What the hell is going on?"

Zhou said with a bitter face: "Master, in the past, my mother-in-law didn't drink bird's nest porridge, and even got angry for no reason when she saw the bird's nest. Therefore, the mansion rarely buys it. Even if there is some need, I don't buy much. Today, my mother-in-law suddenly wants to drink bird's nest porridge, but unfortunately, the mansion just ran out... This..."

"Go and buy it after using it. What's the use of standing here?" Lin Wen couldn't help but get angry when he heard it.

Zhou looked at him and said, "But my mother-in-law wants to eat now. If she goes out to buy it now, she will wait until she comes back to the kitchen. I don't know when it will be... "

"Then...if you don't buy it, won't you have to wait!"

Zhou suddenly bit his lip with his teeth and approached Lin Wen and said, "If you don't buy it, there is another way..." Lin Wen was stunned when he heard it. Just as he was about to ask, Zhou approached his ear and whispered: "There was a bird's nest in the New Year gift sent by his mother-in-law's parents' home the last time. The gift list said, "We might as well use it first..."

Lin Wen hesitated: "The things given by the Zhao family are not as good as those on the market. My mother grew up in the Zhao family since she was a child. Although she is old now, she is delicious but has a good tongue. If she finds out, this is not a joke..."

Seeing that her husband was a little loose, Zhou hurriedly said, "My mother-in-law hasn't eaten for a long time, and she may not be able to identify it when she comes. Besides, this time, she wanted to eat bird's nest porridge abnormally. I'm afraid it's not because her second and third brothers left, and she missed and worried for a while... and she may not be able to identify it. Now she has to let her eat it first, maybe it will be ready immediately?"

Lin Wen thought for a while and said, "Okay, but you can do this yourself. Don't miss the news. If you let others know..."

"Don't worry, Master, I'll go and get the bird's nest alone, and everything else remains the same." After Zhou said that, he hurriedly left.

In the main hall, the old lady held a small white porcelain bowl, held a spoon of white porcelain in one hand, scooped it up, handed it to her mouth, and chewed it slowly. "Well..." Zhao nodded comfortably, then took a few more sips until all the bowl of bird's nest porridge was drunk. The old lady put down the bowl, took a long breath, and said, "I haven't drunk bird's nest porridge for a long time. I don't know who made the porridge this time, but I actually tasted the feeling of the past... Let's have another bowl!" Zhou heard this, and hurriedly asked the maid to serve another bowl.

Zhao looked down at the bird's nest in the small white porcelain bowl, scooped it up and tasted it carefully, nodding as if sure: "Well, this bird's nest is of good quality, not as good as you can buy on the market. Thinking about it, this bird's nest was only available when I was in the Duke's Mansion. The taste...it seems to be the same as what I ate at that time..."

Lin Wen and Zhou were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and saw the shock of each other's eyes. Lin Wen was a little angry, look, I said it would be better not to use it, right? You just said that my mother couldn't eat it, how about it? I've eaten it now, right? How can this end!
