Chapter 107 A VIP Visit from the Forest House in Kyoto (2 more)(1/2)
Spring Examination, a triennial grand event for all students.
The old lady took the people who stayed at home and sent them out in person. For the Lin family, this spring exam is crucial.
The scene at the door of the Lin family attracted all the neighbors to watch, and those who were familiar with each other came out to send blessings. Several of the people who took the exam were from a scholarly family, so they might not be sure to pass the exam, and it would be lively by then.
The old man and Lin Hongtu were sitting in a carriage, Lin Shuangyu was riding a carriage by himself, and the others were riding horses. The Fourth Master was leading the way outside. This group of people even walked on the road attracted people to watch.
Because there are many people who set out, I am grateful for it, especially the fourth wife and fifth wife. If you send your son to take the exam, you will always have a diligent reminder. The departure time is a little late. You have to arrive in Kyoto before sunset and speed up the trip.
As soon as the Lin family team left Huaian, Miniang received the letter.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shuangyu also followed her. It seems that she had gained the trust of the old man so soon? Since she entered the Lin Mansion, there has been no news from her.
She knew that it must be the master who told the two sides that Xiaoshuang had told her that two days ago, she asked someone to send messages to Donglin. She only found out that Lin Shuangyu also went to Donglin that day.
Just say, when the master waited for news, why should he go to Donglin in person? I thought the master was in a good mood to enjoy the spring, but it turned out that he had an appointment.
Although the master was demoted to Xianwang, he did not mean that those people in Kyoto would ignore him. He was afraid that someone would stare at his master's every move, let alone leaving Kyoto.
At this time, I am afraid that the emperor will know about leaving Kyoto.
Will Lin Shuang say anything if he takes such a big risk? If there is any great news, the master of the bad guy personally asked about it.
Or...because of the next one.
"What did the master do after he returned from Donglin?" She was in Huai'an and did not mean that she didn't know what Kyoto was doing.
The news website is here, and it is still convenient.
Wuzhi was also used to Mi Niang's attitude of caring about her master's affairs, and she didn't care, so she said whatever she knew.
"That's all?"
"That's all..." Wuzhi thought about it carefully. After the master returned, it was only two days. How much could he do?
It was no different from usual, nothing special. It was just that Mr. Tong bought a house and went to the house to see it in person. Before that, the master also bought some industries in Kyoto for the sake of convenience.
"The house in Xiangshui Hutong?" In that generation, most merchants were merchants and noisy people, so how could the master buy a house there?
After thinking for a while, he shook his head, "What are the houses doing now?"
"This... I don't know that after Mr. Tong bought it, the deed was in the hands of his master, and I don't know what it is for now."
Mi Niang nodded, Wu Zhi had no choice but to know so much, and the matter was almost done here, the spring exam is about to come, and Kyoto should have a lot of things to be busy with, so she can also get the boss of the Kyoto Gang as soon as possible.
"Miss, the carriage is faster, can it stand it?" Dashuang was taking care of the carriage. Seeing that Lin Shuangyu's face turned pale, he asked quickly.
He shook his head, "It will be here in a while, it's okay." Looking at his girl again, there was nothing wrong with her. It seemed that it was because of her physical foundation.
During this period, she has been conditioning, and it is much better than before. However, those who have been abused in Lengjiazhuang for many years cannot be treated in a short period of time. Take your time.
Before we arrived in Kyoto, we heard that the official road was lively and bustling. It seemed that there were really many people coming to these three-year grand event.
In addition to students, there are also businessmen from all over the world, and some are just watching the fun. Of course, there are also family members who accompany the exam.
The speed of the carriage had to slow down.
As the speed and slowness were getting worse, Lin Shuangyu's face became paler.
"Miss, I'm bear it. The city gate is ahead. I heard from the butler that the city has been resettled and you can rest when you arrive." Dashuang looked outside the carriage. The team entering the city was a bit long, but the city gate was almost there.
When I saw this, I saw a familiar figure.
I wanted to look at it again, but suddenly a burst of internal force attacked me. I habitually reached out, thinking it was a hidden weapon, but what I got was a letter. I looked at it again, no wonder I was familiar with it. It turned out to be Yin Xing. I looked around and made sure no one noticed it, so I put down the curtain.
"What?" Lin Shuangyu saw it, but did not make a sound until the curtain was put down.
Dashuang looked at the letter with a secret note on it. He immediately held the letter in his hands and delivered it to Lin Shuangyu, "It was the letter from the master to the lady."
But, it's almost time to enter the city. Why did the master ask Yinxing to take the risk? There are still some dangers in so many people. Is there anything particularly anxious?
Letter? Send a letter at this time? In this way...
Lin Shuangyu thought the same as Dashuang. He didn't think much about it and opened the letter directly. There was no word on the envelope. He took it out, and there was only one land deed and a small paper sign. There were only two words on the paper sign, so I got it done.
After looking at the land deed, Lin Shuangyu was a little stunned, and then he packed the land deed. Such a trustworthy person was rare. He said that he would be given to her when he entered the city, and it was indeed the case.
The buyer and seller pay attention to integrity. Since this is the case, should you also find the answer you want as soon as possible?
The Zi family mutiny turned dark back then. It seems that everything will start from the old man.
"Miss, but the master has urgent instructions?"
"No." Put the envelope away. Is this the only property she has now? It's so light.
It's fine if it's okay, then she won't care about the others.
The carriage finally slowly entered the city. Kyoto was much more lively than when he came last time. The carriage was so lively that it was so lively outside.
Since the old man had a long plan, he must have bought a house in Kyoto and lived there for a long time.
In Baojing Hutong in the west of the city, there is a small house with two words "Lin Mansion" on the door plaque. There are three or four houses next to it, as if they are uninhabited, very quiet.
The plaque is still new, as if it had just been hung.
Chen Chang had been facing the door with his men. The Fourth Master dismounted the horse first, looked up at the house, and was also a little surprised. He walked to the stationary carriage and helped the old master dismount.
"Dad, this is..."
The old man got off the horse and sat for so long, but he didn't stop all the way. His legs were a little numb. He grabbed the Fourth Master's hand and looked up without saying a word. Kyoto, the Lin family is back.
"Old Master, as you said, this plaque has only been hung for a while, and I am still waiting for you to ring the house." Chen Chang waved his hand and asked someone to bring a brazier and a small butterfly rice grain.
Seeing these two things, the Fourth Master and the young masters around him understood, and even Lin Hongtu also understood. This is the new house that they bought in the Lin family’s house. Aren’t they here to take the exam?
I went back after the exam. There was no need to buy such a big house. And... Didn't my grandfather always dislike the Lin family's involvement in Kyoto too much? What?
The Fourth Master seemed to understand something, no wonder, no wonder my father came to Kyoto this time. He looked back twice when he left the mansion. Did he know that his father would not let the Lin family fall so far, but he didn't expect that his father would suddenly buy a house in Kyoto. Seeing the size of the house, it was enough for the Lin family to live in.
No, it wasn't that sudden, it was because my father had planned, but there was no movement at all...
"Old man, please!"
The old man still said nothing, and walked forward silently, walked over the brazier, grabbed a handful of rice grains from his servants, as if he was using all his strength to sprinkle the rice grains in his hand at the door.
“It’s time to get home!”
In one sentence, it is the answer.
"Yes, the old man has arrived home. I have worked hard all the way and have people prepared delicious food and hot water. Everyone can soothe them later." Chen Chang went up to lead the way, with a very excited expression.
The Lin family returned to Beijing and Kaifu, and it was indeed a little deserted, but this was what the old man meant.
Lin Hongtu was well-behaved and did not speak, and did not rush to follow. He looked back at Lin Shuangyu who was walking over from behind.
The other young men were stunned for a long time and couldn't react for a moment, so they could only follow them into the mansion in a daze. This is their Lin family's mansion? The Lin family also has a mansion in Kyoto. Some people don't believe it.
"Big sister, this is our Lin family." Lin Hongtu saw that Lin Shuangyu's face was not very good, so he went up to support him on the other side.
I know, I just saw it. The so-called resettlement is a thorough resettlement. The old man did his business without any leakage. He quietly bought such a big house in Kyoto.
I'm afraid it took a lot of thought. Baojing Hutong is relatively far away from the most prosperous streets in Kyoto. However, it is quiet and is far away from the imperial palace. Therefore, the houses of powerful ministers and those of the royal palaces and marquises are not here. This is originally a house left by some great merchants in the Jin Dynasty.
Because of the war and the dynasty, many houses on this side were empty. Later, they were taken back and sold by the Ministry of Revenue and sold, but there were few people coming to live there.
Therefore, this place has become a relatively deserted place in the prosperous Kyoto. Because of its low popularity, the houses here are large and most people cannot afford them. Those who can afford them may not necessarily live here.
Lin Shuangyu glanced at the plaque, then his eyes fell on the old man. What were his plans to return to Beijing this time?
"How can the Lin family come home so deserted? I come uninvited, so why can I drink wine?"
As soon as the old man stepped into the threshold with one foot, he quickly turned around and bowed, "The master of the Pavilion is the greatest excitement when he visits the humble house."
Master?
Look at me, I look at you, and I keep being stupid, but the old man called out the old master and asked the young master to bow his hands and take the favor, and they were all a little cautious.
It is said that Kyoto is full of noble people, and it is absolutely right to nod and bow when you meet people.
The young masters didn’t know, but the Fourth Master still knew it. He had seen him before, and he had a positive face and gave a big gift, “I have met Mr. Luo, I wish you goodbye.”
"Lin Family...Fourth, look, I have a good memory."
He was actually one of the three pavilions of the dynasty. He was wearing a dark blue robe with white beards slightly moved, carrying one hand on his back and the other hand on his chest. Not far behind him, there was a sedan chair. There was no one else except the casual sedan chairman and a servant.
"I haven't seen each other for many years, but you still remember that this is the fourth brother. These are my grandsons, and that... that is my eldest girl and the fifth brother." Lin Hengchong introduced it casually.
In front of Master Luo, there is no need to introduce these juniors one by one. Since Lin Shuangyu is the only granddaughter present, Master Luo took a special look.
When I saw this, I was quite surprised and thought to myself, this big girl from the Lin family...is not bad.
When Lin Shuangyu saw that the other party looked at her, she bowed generously but did not speak. Seeing this, Lin Hongtu also bowed with him. The two children stood there, and compared with the previous few, they got along a little differently.
Gorgeous and decent, quite generous.
Master Luo nodded and then moved his eyes away.
"Please, please!"
"please!"
Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Kyoto and had not entered the door, I was so proud that I was visiting the door again. Not to mention the young masters, even the Fourth Master was a little panicked. I don’t know if there were any servants in this mansion, for fear of not being able to greet them properly.
"Chen Chang, have you all settled?" It won't be a good idea to clean up. After all, this is a new house, and I don't know when the old man was troubled.
To be continued...
