Chapter 381: Be an official and a man
In the dim room, Lin Shengde leaned slanted against the window, looking at his long-lost daughter, his eyes were very calm.
"I thought you wouldn't come to see me anymore. After all, I brought the Lin family to this situation!" Lin Shengde sighed softly: "I want Xiao Zhuzi to take care of the family affairs. I believe you know what I mean. If our Lin family wants to make a comeback in the future, we have to rely on yours. The other few rooms are not reliable. If there is a day when we get up again, you can pull them up and separate them from what they should be!"
"Dad, I'm not here to tell you this!"
Lin Qijun looked at her father who was old and in bed, and her heart trembled slightly. She pulled a chair and sat in front of Lin Shengde.
"Well, you said!" Lin Shengde was not surprised at all, looked at her and said slowly.
"The prince has ascended the throne!" Lin Qijun said softly.
"This is a great thing!" Lin Shengde laughed: "I know this matter. Is it related to this matter when you come back?"
"It's a good thing!" Lin Qijun nodded: "I'm considered a subordinate of the prince, but it's not easy for me to see the prince..."
Lin Shengde saw that Lin Qijun didn't speak. At his age, he had enough patience to listen.
"In fact, I should be considered as Xu Bai, the prince's disciple, Lord Xu!" Lin Qijun paused: "Of course, my Lin family was able to escape by chance. In addition to the 200,000 silver I raised, Lord Xu made an indelible contribution!"
"Do you think I haven't even figured out who the enemy of our Lin family is until now?" Lin Shengde's mouth slightly smiled: "Boss, the second brother and you have made it like that in Nanjing, thanks to this Lord Xu!"
Lin Qijun nodded without hesitation: "The children in the family came back from the capital with letters. I believe you know what happened to the Sihai Business Company!"
"The prince has become the emperor. He is the celebrity of the prince, probably too proud!" Lin Shengde's face had no expression on his face: "This kind of person is vicious and has superb skills. My Lin family cannot defeat him. Don't worry, I didn't think about taking revenge. Except for a few people in the Lin family, even his real enemy is him, not many people know!"
He seemed to smile bitterly: "Everyone is in such a situation. Living well is better than anything else. He is still thinking about taking revenge. Am I really afraid that the Lin family will not perish?"
Lin Qijun took a deep breath: "Xu Bai is at our house now!"
"What!" Lin Shengde's body straightened up suddenly. He sat on the bed, his eyes fixed on his daughter: "What do he want to do when he comes to our house?"
"This is what I'm going to tell my father today!" Lin Qiyun stood up and gently helped him lie down again: "Because of my daughter's effective work, and because my Lin family is of some use, Xu Bai gave me a chance to do a big thing. If this thing is done, my Lin family will be considered to have been punished before and will be punished. However, this matter is very dangerous. If it cannot be done, I am afraid that my Lin family will have to pay a very heavy price!"
"It will kill people, and many people may die. Even my Lin family will not only not get any benefits in this matter, but will also suffer heavy casualties!"
"If you make a comeback, can you not recover?" Lin Shengde breathed: "Die, what are you afraid of? Is such a good thing easy?"
"Then do you think you can do it?" Lin Qijun asked.
"My Lin family has reached this point, how can I still be unable to recover?" Lin Shengde shook his head: "Although you are still surviving here now, but as long as you lose favor and can't take care of your family, how long do you think my Lin family can support this ghost place? Instead of being slowly bullied and destroyed by others, now with this opportunity, why not take a fight!?"
Lin Qiyun felt sad. It seemed that even though she said it clearly, her father still thought that the sentence "I am Xu Bai's person" she said, "I am Xu Bai's woman" was missing, and it should be "I am Xu Bai's woman"!
If this were the case, Lin Shengde made a decision almost immediately, and she seemed to be able to understand that men always have time to pamper women. I am afraid that in Lin Shengde's eyes, the day of her fall from favor is the time when the Lin family's catastrophe comes, so he decided to fight without hesitation.
"Then I will reply to Lord Xu Baixu!" Lin Qijun nodded: "Dad, you have thought about it. Once you agree, you will never turn around!"
"Go and call Xiao Zhuzi in by the way!" Lin Shengde nodded: "Tell Xu Bai that, except for the rebellion, my Lin family dare not obey, the Lin family will let him in other matters!"
The accommodation conditions in Linjiazhuangzi are not very good, and they can even be said to be very poor.
The residence where Xu Bai was placed was obviously a new house that was recently launched, but in Datong, the new house means a heavy earthy smell, which makes the air in the house seem to be a bit choking, which is no less than the wind and sand in Beijing this season.
However, these are nothing to Xu Bai. Even if he sits on a dirt kang, he can sleep comfortably. Especially the bedding and other things are brand new, so he doesn't have to worry about hygiene, which makes him feel very at ease.
Just in this room, he felt comfortable for a long time. The hard work these days seemed to have been washed clean in this sleep.
When I woke up, it was already midday and it was quiet outside. I thought I was told not to make a sound to disturb him. He sat on the bed for a while and shouted to the outside.
"Master, a general came to Datong. Manager Lin said he was the general's son and was waiting for you outside early in the morning!"
"What else?"
"It's gone. Manager Lin came here in the morning and then he kept talking with the general. No one else came!"
Xu Bai smiled and said, "It's interesting, let's go and meet the young master of this general!"
In the lobby, Lin Qijun was talking to the gang general Yang Qian with a smile. There was no governor by his side today, so the gang general Yang seemed to be even more relaxed. His laughter came from time to time in the lobby. I don’t know what Lin Qijun and him were saying.
Outside the lobby, there were his personal soldiers waiting. When he saw a few people walking towards this side, there were weapons on his body, the personal soldiers immediately stopped drinking.
"Your dog eyes are blind, and Lord Xu doesn't even recognize you!"
Yang Qian rushed out of the room, shouted loudly at his personal soldiers, and then looked at Xu Bai in front of him: "General Yang Qian has met Lord Xu!"
"Oh, uncle, you are polite. Is there any Lord Xu? I'm just a servant!" Xu Bai smiled and clasped his fists: "I was thinking of going to the General's Mansion to pay homage to Mr. Zhangwu, but I didn't expect that Mr. uncle came in person. It was so rude and rude!"
"Mr. Xu, I feel so furious!" Yang Qian's face wrinkled and bitter, "If it weren't for Lord Xu's actions, my father would have been wasting his time in the border town. How could he have today's Uncle Zhangwu? If you don't take it back, I can't talk to you later!"
"Shi Heng's affairs!" Lin Qijun reminded Xu Bai with a smile: "Bo Zhangwu is very grateful for the love!"
"Then General Yang Shen..." Xu Bai nodded slightly, and immediately thought through the twists and turns. Datong was Shi Heng's nest. In the Shi Heng case, Datong was also the key target of the Qing army. This Zhangwu Bo served as the general of Datong after the Qing army. In this way, although he was in love, he could also be involved.
Of course, there should be many people in the border town who have risen to power because of the Qing army. If they are willing to recognize this little bit of affection, they will recognize it. If they don’t recognize it, Xu Bai cannot say that they are ungrateful, but everyone has such a little connection.
"If you want, just call me Xiao Yang!" Yang Qian, the bearded man in front of him, also pulled his face down. He looked even bigger than Xu Bai, but he turned out to be "Xiao Yang".
"Brother Yang, if you say that, then you'll be outside!" Xu Bai laughed: "Since you're not an outsider, it's easy to say, please come inside!"
Because of this small connection, when entering the lobby, the atmosphere in the lobby became much better. Just now, Yang Qian and Lin Qiyun were chatting, and Yang Qian could still feel the alienation in Lin Qiyun's words. Before Xu Bai could say a few words, the alienation suddenly disappeared, which made Yang Qian feel much more comfortable.
Lin Qijun and a middle-aged scholar beside Xu Bai spoke softly, and then the two walked out. Yang Qian and Xu Bai were left in the lobby.
"I thought the person who came to visit today would be Lord Han Yong and Han. It seems that Lord Han is very busy recently. He is really happy that the people are concerned about the military town!"
"Datong is a military town!" Yang Qian said with a smile: "It would be fine if Lord Xu is unwilling to reveal his identity, but everyone pretends not to know anymore. However, Lord Xu has been wandering around our Datong Mansion for these days and revealed his identity last night. If we had no reaction at all, then Datong Mansion will be full of spies and spies!"
"That's right!" Xu Bai smiled: "It seems that we are still too eye-catching!"
"The main reason is that I don't know what Lord Xu came to Datong suddenly. You must know that Lord Xu is a disciple of the emperor. Now that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, Lord Xu appears in Datong. As long as the people in Datong Mansion know the origin of Lord Xu, who doesn't make any complaints in their hearts!"
Yang Qian looked careless and dared to speak anything, looking rough and generous. However, he looked at Xu Bai while talking, and a hint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes from time to time, proving that he was not as simple as he showed.
"I don't have any errands on me now!" Xu Bai shook his head: "I've thought too much, and everyone think too much, I just relax and see if there are any business to do!"
"I believe you have a ghost!" Yang Qian muttered in his heart, and still smiled on his face: "It's good to relax. Although Datong Mansion is not a prosperous place, there are several places that can barely be visited. If Lord Xu doesn't dislike him, Xiao Yang, I will take Lord Xu around and play!"
"Does Brother Yang have no military affairs?" Xu Bai glanced at him strangely.
"Helping Lord Xu is my greatest military service!" Yang Qian said seriously: "When I came, my father said that if Lord Xu came to Datong to handle the job, then tens of thousands of people in my Datong Town will definitely cooperate completely. If Lord Xu passed by Datong Prefecture, then I must do my best to be a landlord in Datong Town and make Lord Xu satisfied!"
"My uncle's kindness..." Xu Bai shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know how to repay this kind of affection. In short, after Brother Yang returns, you must tell Mr. Xu Bai has recorded this feeling!"
"Small things, small things!" Yang Qian laughed loudly, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. What he wanted was this effect. Regardless of whether the Lord Xu in front of him was true or not, the attitude of his father and son of the Yang family had been revealed, and he had made the other party feel it, then he would not have been in vain.
At this extraordinary period, this plague god has arrived at his own territory. As long as he is not here to find trouble, that is the best thing!
"I'm not familiar with Datong Mansion. I've been here for several days now. I'm just wandering around myself every day. If Brother Yang wants to, let me talk about the situation in Datong Mansion!" Xu Bai asked with a smile: "Don't you be embarrassed, right?"
"No, no difficulty at all!" Yang Qian laughed: "Mr. Xu wants to know what happened in Datong Mansion, just ask..."
In the Datong Governor's Mansion, a small school was reporting something in front of Han Yong. Han Yong kept listening with a calm face until the small school retreated and he did nothing.
"The boss is sure, aren't you really going to Linjiazhuang?"
The staff next to him was a middle-aged scholar with his age and thoughts. When he saw him pondering, he gently reminded him: "After Yang Qian left, he never came out!"
"I went yesterday, and I went today. Only this little bastard can do such a decent thing!" Han Yong shook his head: "I went yesterday to ask for inquiries. After all, the Lin family was the place where His Majesty ordered him to take care of him. What's the matter when I go today? Then Xu Bai, do you have an official position in the court now?"
"No, this is not. In short, he is just a casual person from His Majesty's residence!" The aide shook his head: "But you and I know that this is not the case!"
"Then I can't get in. Now, when is Xu Bai not sure what is coming to Datong? Do I also know what is the slightest? "Han Yong said angrily: "I'm trying to do these things that come and see off every day, so why don't I do anything else? I, Han Yong, came to Datong, not to waste time here. Autumn is coming in the blink of an eye, and those Tartars are about to stop. How many things do I have to do!"
"If you want to do things, you should be an official first." The aide looked at Han Yong: "If you want to be an official, you should be an official first!"
Han Yong was silent for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile: "Why is it so difficult to do something? Oh, forgot, I don't go to that little ruined village. I will go directly to ask Yang Xin what Xu Bai means, and what constitution should I send him out!"
