Chapter 2009 Return to Hometown
The official road from Pingzhou to Taifeng County is very uneven, because Qingshu is not in a hurry and makes the carriage slower. So, it took them a day and a half to arrive in Taifeng County this time.
Qingshu moved directly into the Gu family mansion, while Lin Chengzhi and Le Wei returned to their homes.
Before the father and son returned, Lin Chengzhi said: "Qingshu, your father may not be back so soon. Do you think you want to go to visit your grandfather and grandmother to grave?"
Because of the things that Mr. Lin had done with Mrs. Lin, Lin Chengzhi had no confidence when he said this.
Since he is back, he will definitely go to the grave, but Qingshu will not lose his word: "Qingluan should be here in the next two days. I will go to visit the grave with her and my grandparents."
"Okay, then I'll go and prepare."
Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, I will ask someone to prepare these things. Uncle San, after rushing for so long, you must be tired, so you can rest at home for two days. If you have anything to do, Lewen."
Lewen also said: "Yes, Dad, you have a good rest! If you have anything, just tell me."
Lin Chengzhi nodded.
Yaoyao looked at the decorations in the room and said, "Mom, why is there nothing in this room?"
"What do you want?"
Yaoyao said, "I want beautiful flowers, beautiful bottles and colorful paintings. Well, it's best to put two plates of delicious pastries on it."
Qingshu poked her forehead and said, "I just remember to eat. Have you memorized the article that my mother taught you to memorize?"
"No."
"Nothing is allowed to be eaten before I cared it out."
Yaoyao's little face collapsed instantly. It's better to be at my aunt's house, and you can eat whatever you want. Follow her mother and have to recite and trace the red ones first after eating a pastry.
This time, Qingshu went out, not only to change the clothes, but also brought painting tools and a box of books. She did not use these things to others, but instead placed them on her own.
Bajiao came in and replied, "Madam, the county magistrate here has sent someone to send a message to him."
Qingshu frowned and said, "I came back this time to attend the funeral. No matter who sent the posts I sent, I will reject them."
It’s not that I’m back to look for relatives and friends, and I’m meeting any guests.
"Yes, madam."
Afterwards, the Tang family, Du family, Xu family and other famous families in Taifeng County all sent a message. If Qingshu's words were asked, the manager would decline.
Honggu said, "Madam, your former relatives always want to meet you."
"The Gu family is no longer a member, and the Lin family is divided into clans. We are the only ones who are separated from the three bedrooms. The others have nothing to do with me."
Honggu asked, "Is there no one in the Gu family?"
"He's the only one left in my grandmother's generation, and nothing else. As for my uncle's generation, it's better not to see him."
He is not his relative's uncle, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't come to the house.
In fact, Qingshu has always felt that love is more important than blood. She is close to the Qi family and the Wu family, and is very distant from the Lin family and the Gu family.
Qingshu's path was not working, so these people changed to Lin Chengzhi's path. Mr. Xu from the Xu family had a good relationship with Lin Chengzhi before, and he didn't submit a post and came to the door directly.
Although I guessed that Lin Chengyu died of illness before coming, after hearing about this from Lin Chengzhi, Mr. Xu said with regret: "Brother Ling is the pride of our Taifeng County. I didn't expect that he died of illness at such a young age. It's really the loss of our Taifeng County."
I remember that after the corruption of Lin Chengyu was exposed, the entire Lin family was despised, and even his several breakfast shops were affected. However, the Xu family not only did not take any action, but their attitude towards Lin Chengzhi did not change. They even helped him when they were divided, and this is true. Lin Chengzhi always remembered his goodness.
Lin Chengzhi was not stupid either. He knew that Mr. Xu would say this because of Qingshu. Otherwise, his elder brother would not have been mentioned: "After his five-year period expires, I will write a letter to him to return to Beijing or return to his hometown to retire. Unfortunately, he said he had no face to face his children and fellow villagers and insisted on staying in the northwest, otherwise he would not have lost himself so young."
Saying this is also considered as a warning that someone will use this to attack Qingshu in the future.
From Lin Chengyu to Qingshu and Qingluan, and then to Lin family members. The two chatted for more than an hour and continued until the sun set.
At dinner time, Lin Chengzhiliu, Mr. Xu came down to have a meal: "If Brother Xu doesn't dislike us for simple meals, stay here and eat together!"
Mr. Xu couldn't resist Lin Chengzhi's kindness and agreed to stay for dinner. As a result, when he waited on the table, he saw that the table was full of vegetarian dishes.
Lin Chengzhi looked at his strange eyes and explained: "Brother Xu, my child was adopted by his elder brother as his heir. Now that he has passed away, my son will also keep him filial for three years."
Just as Lewen had just finished the provincial examination, he only got out of the imperial examination three years later. Three years of filial piety did not delay things and gained a good reputation, so why not do it?
Only then did Mr. Xu understand his plan.
After dinner, Mr. Xu went home.
After sending the person away, Le Wen frowned and said, "Dad, we have been back for a day and my second brother has no road surface. What's going on with him?"
If Le Wen hadn't said that Lin Chengzhi would have forgotten this: "Maybe something was delayed! I didn't come today, and I will definitely come tomorrow morning."
Lewen was very dissatisfied. They had been in Taifeng County in the morning for most of the day, and Taifeng County was as big as a palm. He didn't believe that Leshu had not received any news.
Seeing that he looked unconfused, Lin Chengzhi said, "Your second brother is a ignorant person. It is possible that the people below did not inform him in time. Don't hurt the harmony between brothers because of this."
He hoped that the three brothers Lewen could respect, love and support each other, instead of becoming strangers like the three brothers. When he thought of Lin Chengyu and Lin Chengzhong, he felt very upset.
Le Wen asked with a nod, "Dad, what did this Mr. Xu tell you? I've said so much for so long?"
"He told me about some of the recent situations of the Lin clan, and the Lin clan members are getting worse and worse now."
If the clan leader and several clan elders were too forced, he would not have been angry and divided into sects. The reputation of Qingshu was always a little scruple for outsiders. But now, it would be fine if I didn't say it.
Lin Lewen said: "Dad, it has nothing to do with us whether they are good or not. Don't beg you for a few words and you will be soft-hearted and return to your hometown."
Lin Chengzhi laughed and scolded: "You think that division of sects is a game for playing houses. If you want to divide them, you can return to the sects! But your grandfather and their graves are always buried in Taohua Village, so we can't break up with them."
Lewen had no affection for the Lin clans, and he said, "So what if you tear your face? If you ask me, we should move out the grave of our grandfather and grandmother, and we will completely break off relations with the Lin clans in the future."
