After dressing as a widow

Chapter 296

Chunxiang Xingxiang, and Lin Shitou, who was keeping accounts in the shop, looked at Lin Xiaoyao, and called him in surprise, "Uncle Xiaoyao!"

"Uncle Xiao Yao is back!"

Both brothers, Huaixiang and Lin Xiaoyao were even closer, and excitedly ran to the backyard to call her father and uncle: "Daddy, daddy, Uncle Xiaoyao is back!"

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin, who were working in the backyard, heard Huaixiang's voice and thought they heard it wrong. Mrs. Lin looked at her brother: "Huaixiang, who is back?"

"Uncle Xiaoyao, with a lot of people, it's very majestic!"

Lin Xiaoyao was not very old when the two sisters-in-law of the Lin family came in. It is not an exaggeration to say that she looked grown up. Before Lin Xiaoyao went to find Zhong Yan, and then went out alone to make a living. Both of them cared about it in their hearts. Now Hearing that Lin Xiaoyao was back, regardless of whether he was busy or not, he put down and walked out quickly.

The two saw Lin Xiaoyao, and the person behind Lin Xiaoyao: "Xiaoyao, it's great to be back."

"Who are these people?"

Lin Xiaoyao said: "They are all members of my caravan, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, please get busy first, I'll go home first."

Second Aunt Lin took off the apron on her waist: "What's the point of not doing this business for a few days? We'll pack up and go back with you. If Father and Father know that you're back, I don't know how happy we will be."

Aunt Lin also thought the same way, and she said to the stones in the shop and Huaixiang, Chunxiang, and Xingxiang: "It happens that there are no guests at the moment, so put the vegetables and meat that cannot be stored for a long time in a basket, and take them home to eat."

"Yes," the four of them were already grown-ups, they started to work quickly, and packed up their things in a few moments. Mrs. Lin took out the key and locked the door, and said to Lin Xiaoyao, "Let's go home. "

As soon as they came out, the people of the Lin family saw a few horses and a carriage pulling them outside. It seemed that there was quite a battle.

The Lin family looked at Lin Xiaoyao, Lin Xiaoyao asked the people below to squeeze the things on the carriage and let them sit separately.

Horses are precious livestock, one horse is worth several cows, even Wang Qin's family, who is the richest in the town, doesn't have so many horses.

Sister-in-law Lin and sister-in-law Lin looked at each other and asked Lin Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, what have you been doing since you went away for two years?"

Lin Xiaoyao turned her head and said, "At first I sold goods, and later I did some jade business."

"Then your business is pretty good..." Isn't it good to have so many subordinates, Mrs. Lin's sister-in-law Lin's second sister-in-law didn't expect Lin Xiaoyao to earn so much money in just two years of leaving.

The children were also very curious about Lin Xiaoyao, asking questions one after another.

There is a carriage, and soon arrived at Liyu Village. The Lin family is a celebrity in the village. First they composted, and then Lin Zhen led people to open a shop in the town. Then Gu Lin, who was raised by Lin Zhen, was admitted to Juren and became a Juren. Master, he sent a letter back the year before, saying that Gu Lin had become the number one scholar and even became an official.

At that time, even the county magistrate of the town came in person, and everyone in the ten miles and eight villages didn't know that the Lin family had a Wenqu star, and the matchmaker who promised the remaining children almost broke the threshold.

Now I saw the Lin family sitting in the carriage, and the accompanying people were dressed differently from them. They all looked over and said hello: "The Lin family, are these people relatives of your family?"

Sister Lin smiled and said, "Auntie, take a closer look at the person in front, who is it?"

Before the woman recognized her, Lin Xiaoyao greeted her first: "Auntie."

The woman glanced twice, then looked at the handsome man in front of her in disbelief, "This, isn't this Xiaoyao? Xiaoyao is back?!"

As soon as the words came out, many people in the village couldn't believe it. In their impression, Lin Xiaoyao had never been very conspicuous, thin and small, with dark skin. Later, she followed Lin Zhen to the town to open a shop. Attention is also on the more controversial Lin Zhen.

Now he is quite different from before, he looks even more dignified than the landlord in the town.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyao looked at Father Lin, Father Lin, Eldest Brother and Second Brother who were walking up from Xialiyu Village carrying hoes, and paused.

Father Lin also saw him, and couldn't believe his eyes.

"Father, father, elder brother and second elder brother."

Father Lin looked at him who had changed his appearance, his eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Let's go home, go home."

Lin Xiaoyao got off the horse, took the hoe from his shoulder and carried it on his shoulder: "Well, let's go home."

Father Lin held his hand tightly, turned his head to look at him again and again, and soon arrived home.

Lin Xiaoyao said to Pang Feng and the others who came with him, "Everything is unloaded, except for Pang Feng, the others will take the carriage back to town first."

"Yes." The people below were very sensible, and quickly untied all the things, piled them in the corner, and then led the carriage away.

Father Lin looked at Lin Xiaoyao and at his subordinates: "Why don't you keep them at home for dinner?"

"I rented an inn for them in the town, and they can live there. Dad, this is Pang Feng, and he has followed me since I went to Pingzhou."

Pang Feng saw Father Lin, "Ah."

Father Lin looked at him: "This, this is..."

Lin Xiaoyao explained: "He recognizes me as a adoptive father, so it's okay to call daddy you."

"So that's how it is." Aunt Lin didn't expect that this young man looked really strange, with a high nose and red eyes, he didn't look like the people here at all, and he might not be younger than himself How old was he, how did he recognize Xiaoyao as his adoptive father?

As soon as he got home, Father Lin couldn't wait to hold Lin Xiaoyao's hand and asked him about his going out: "You child, you have been out for two years, and you send letters diligently, but you don't see anyone. Your father and I are in a hurry. It's useless to die."

Lin Xiaoyao repeated what she had said in front of Lin Zhen, only announcing good news and not worrying, and turned her attention to Lin Zhen, the third elder brother who was far away in Lizhou: "Father, are you sure?" You know, the third brother is well-known in Lizhou now, everyone calls him a rich man in Lizhou."

"And those things, third brother asked me to bring them to you."

Father Lin hadn't seen the two brothers for a long time, and when he heard him talk about himself, he was worried. Even though Lin Xiaoyao said it lightly, he still couldn't let it go, and kept looking at Lin Xiaoyao. The scar on Yao's left cheek.

And when he heard that Lin Xiaoyao went to Lizhou to meet Lin Zhen, he asked, "Is your third brother tossing around in Lizhou again?"

Lin Xiaoyao smiled and said: "It's not just a toss, the things from Lin's firm are sold everywhere."

He stood up while talking, and took a copy of the things Lin Zhen had prepared for his family, put it on the table and opened it, "This box is full of jade face powder, soap, soap, toilet water, cream, and lipstick are all separated."

"Soap?"

"We also bought two yuan at home, and they are easy to use, and the clothes are very clean." Mrs. Lin's sister-in-law, Lin's sister-in-law and the others also do laundry at home, and they love soap very much.

Lin Zhuzi's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up when she heard the Yurong powder cream and other things, and she couldn't help saying: "I didn't expect that even the Yurong powder flower dew lipstick cream was made by third uncle!"

Lin Xiaoyao had never seen her before, so she asked Father Lin, "This is?"

Father Lin clapped his hands: "This is Zhu Zi's daughter-in-law. We got married last year. When we got married, your third elder brother and Xiao Lin were still at home, and they went to pick her up."

That is the nephew's daughter-in-law, Lin Xiaoyao nodded to Lin Zhuzi's daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "Your third aunt thought that there are many people in the family, so she brought a lot of them, including those few boxes. "

Now even in Anyuan Town, there are things such as Yurong powder flower dew for sale, but the price is high, a few taels of silver per box, although the Lin family has some wealth, the female relatives and brothers in the family are reluctant to spend this money.

Only Lin Zhuzi, who is married and does woodwork by himself, has bought a few small boxes for his wife. Lin Zhuzi's wife is not a picky person, she used it for Chunxiang Xingxianghuaixiang and the others a few times.

The effect was so good that Lin Zhuzi's daughter-in-law was reluctant to use it.

But now Lin Xiaoyao told them that it was their third aunt who did this business and brought so many back.

Lin Zhuzi's daughter-in-law, Chunxiang, Xingxiang and Huaixiang couldn't wait to come to Lin Xiaoyao and watched him bring up boxes of things. Except for the dew, which was kept in ice, everything else could be touched.

Lin Xiaoyao also took out other things by the way, special products from Lizhou, things she prepared from Yunzhou, and various jade ornaments for her family.

The Lin family was very lively, and the sound of chatting could still be heard throughout the night.

After dinner, Father Lin took out a new bedding, changed the bed in the room where Lin Xiaoyao lived, and spread a new quilt.

Lin Xiaoyao came in and stretched out the quilt together with him.

Aunt Lin asked him: "Has your foster son fallen asleep?" That child is simple-minded, sincere, and a good one. "

"Go to sleep, Dad, don't worry."

The bed was already made when he came in, Father Lin patted the bed, let him sit down, and stroked the scar on his left face: "Does it hurt?"

Lin Xiaoyao shook her head: "The pain has been gone for a long time, father, don't worry."

"It's all my hard work that gave birth to and brought up the child. How can you not worry about it? Tell Dad honestly, are you still thinking about it now..."

"No," Lin Xiaoyao knew what he was talking about, and gave him the exact answer, "I don't have that fate, and I don't force it. I am living a pretty good life now, with my own business, a caravan, and a busy schedule. Round and round."

Father Lin watched, looked at his expression, knew that he had really let go, and felt much more relieved.

In his heart, his child is naturally very good, but love is something that can't be forced, Lin Xiaoyao can figure it out and let it go, it's really the best.

Father Lin continued: "Then did you see any suitable ones in Yunzhou? If there are any good ones, bring them back to me and your father to see. You are in your twenties this year. You can married."

"..." Lin Xiaoyao knew that he would be urged to do this when he came back, but the problem was that he didn't care about it now.

Before he could speak, Father Lin continued with a sad face: "And your third brother is also a headache for me. Tell me, he is 28 years old. He is still full of energy for a day. Follow Shuan Zi Arrived in Lizhou."

"Is he really not going to get married? Or do he want to wait until Shuanzi's daughter-in-law is brought in before finding an old companion?"

"..." Uh, Lin Xiaoyao looked at Father Lin who was so anxious that his eyes and eyebrows were wrinkled together, and thought to himself, you really don't need to worry about my third brother's marriage, and there is no need for that kid Gu Lin, just come back later Just don't beat your chest in anger when you make arrangements for the marriage.

Seeing that Lin Apa's urging object was replaced by Lin Zhen, Lin Xiaoyao made a bow in her heart to the third brother who was far away in Lizhou, thanking the third brother for saving my life. highlighted.

Lin Xiaoyao stayed in Liyu Village for a long time, and accompanied the Lin family to walk around. Pang Feng, who stayed by his side, also knew from the Lin family and the village population that his adoptive father was actually a brother, not a man. , staring at the "birthmark" on Lin Xiaoyao's earlobe with red eyes for several days, but said nothing.

Half a month later, Lin Xiaoyao set foot on the road back to Pingzhou, and as soon as she got back, she started to work on the horses that Lin Zhen had told him about, and then paid in advance to let someone who knew horses buy the first batch of horses. Ask someone to escort you to Lizhou.

When these horses arrived in Lizhou, the autumn harvest had already begun in Lizhou. Due to the implementation of new farming policies in Lizhou this year, it ushered in the largest harvest in history.

And many blacksmiths also received orders from the state government office to build some new weapons, and the fire used in the smelting was changed from the previous firewood to a new fuel called coal in the state capital.

It was another year, and in July of the third year when Lin Zhen followed Gu Lin to Lizhou, the rearranged frontier sergeants suddenly sent back news that a vanguard army from the Che Luo Kingdom unexpectedly occupied a village named Zai. The county seat, and several places in a row, are heading towards Lizhou's state capital!
