When Mr. Lin got the letter, he stood at the entrance of the village early to look around and wait. The people in the village were bustlingly crowded at the entrance of the village. The whole village was excited and happier than the Chinese New Year. This is Master Juren. Thinking about how they once talked to Master Juren and gave things to Master Juren, everyone was very happy.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Xu Zifan hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, cupped his hands and shouted "Grandpa", then turned around to help Lin Ruonan, the two walked hand in hand to Mr. Lin and bowed down, "Grandpa, we are back to visit you."
Mr. Lin supported one with one hand, and smiled wrinkled, "Okay! Okay!"
He patted Xu Zifan's shoulder heavily, his face full of pride and admiration, "Zifan is doing well! It's really good for your parents, this is honoring the ancestors."
Xu Zifan supported him, smiled gently and said, "Grandpa has won the prize, I still have more to learn."
"Hahaha, let's go, let's go home, grandpa will kill the pigs for you." After Mr. Lin saw the somewhat restrained villagers, his lips moved. Considering that Xu Zifan's current status might be unpleasant, he didn't say anything and pulled Xu Zifan and Lin Ruonan are leaving.
Xu Zifan smiled and said: "Everyone is here, why don't we come together to be lively and lively. Like last time, it's good to eat with more people."
Lin Ruonan also smiled and held the sisters-in-law who knew each other, "If my sister-in-law and aunt are all right, let's sit down at my grandfather's house, we can chat together for a while, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have a lot to say to you. ."
The approachable nature of their husband and wife made everyone relax at once. The villagers were simple, and immediately responded happily. One said they wanted to go home to get eggs, and the other said they were going to pick vegetables in the field, and they packed all the things for dinner. , enthusiastically rushed home to get something.
The old man Lin stroked his beard and smiled happily: "You two are good, but my old man thinks too much and thinks that you are not happy. That's how it should be, the villagers are always villagers. No harm, they all really wish you well."
Lin Ruonan hugged him and smiled: "What grandpa said, don't worry, brother Zifan and I will not forget our original intentions. Grandpa, let's go home first. We brought you a lot of things, you must like it."
Mr. Lin was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and said, "Just come back. Last time you asked people to send a lot of things. Don't take them again in the future. How can I use such things as an old man?"
Xu Zifan held onto his other arm and walked together, "We are doing well now, and we naturally hope that Grandpa will be better. This is all our filial piety. When Grandpa doesn't do the right thing, we will take you over. Live together."
Mr. Lin waved his hand, "You guys have a good time, I won't go. I have a house and land here, it's fine, you don't have to worry about me."
Xu Zifan said with a smile: "Grandpa, in the future, we will be busy, and there will be fewer people who will come back. You don't want to see your great grandson often?"
Lin Ruonan blushed instantly, Old Man Lin was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes and said simply, "Okay, I'll go with you then, I can do whatever I can to help you, I'm still tough."
The three of them chatted and laughed when they returned home, and looked at the things they brought back from Fucheng one by one. Lin Ruonan glanced at Xu Zifan quietly, lowered his head and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth. Although she and Xu Zifan never made it clear about the real marriage and the fake marriage, but in the past few months, they have been able to see each other every day when they wake up, take care of the shop together, and go to the city together. They have experienced a lot in a short period of time. A lot of things made them get closer and closer, and she finally understood what it was like to be happy alone.
Seeing how close and harmonious the two of them were, Mr. Lin was completely relieved. He heard that Xu Zifan was in the middle and the Xu family's cloth shop was also prosperous, and he was really happy for the Xu family, but soon he heard some gossip, saying that it was originally a change of parents, and now the Xu family is getting higher and higher, and he is the Yue family. I couldn't help at all, maybe the Xu family would dislike Lin Ruonan.
He believed in the character of the Xu family, but he was a little worried when he heard it a lot. Now that he saw Xu Zifan's attitude with his own eyes, he no longer had any worries.
The villagers soon came to Mr. Lin's house, and everyone was busy preparing for the banquet like last time, and they were even more enthusiastic than last time. Several reading children were led by their parents to Xu Zifan to ask for words. Xu Zifan simply called all the children and told them how to read so that they could remember and understand the meaning. He also talked about how to live a stable and happy life down-to-earth if you don’t read books.
In fact, he was talking about learning skills and the principles of being a person and doing things. It's just that the children had never heard these words. When they listened to him, they were extremely serious, absorbing truth-like knowledge like a sponge. They are in awe of Master Juren. His words here are almost the same as imperial decrees. I don’t know if anyone will work hard to live a good life because of his words, but at least this moment, everyone in the village is grateful, Delighted, his affection for Xu Zifan reached its peak.
For the next three days, Xu Zifan would tell everyone in the village, and some adults were willing to listen to him. He spoke very easy to understand, unlike other scholars, who sometimes heard a certain sentence, and they would have a sense of relief, and could not help but admire him even more.
The way Xu Zifan and Lin Ruonan cared for each other also touched everyone, and they all said that Xu Zifan's character and temperament were first-rate, and Lin Ruonan was married too well, and he would be an official's wife in the future, and Mr. Lin was the official's wife's grandfather. !
Originally this kind of glory should belong to the couple Lin Ruoshan and Lin Fu, but now it has nothing to do with them. There is even a good thing to ask Lin Fu what he thinks in person. .
He is also thick-skinned. He brought the gift and went back to the village to visit Xu Zifan. He thought about how he was also Lin Ruonan's biological father, and he was also their second uncle in name. The so-called one person attains the Tao and ascends to heaven, and even if Xu Zifan is gone in the future, the name of a master will be enough for him.
Who knew that Xu Zifan would not give him face, and when he saw him entering the yard, he called Lin Ruonan out. Lin Fu complained to Mr. Lin, but Mr. Lin scolded him and told him to be kicked out of the village.
Xu Zifan is not good at chasing people out in person, but Mr. Lin is the leader of the village. With a word from him, Lin Fu can't even enter the village if he wants to.
The village and town immediately learned the news. While laughing at Lin Fu, they all had a deeper understanding of Xu Zifan's dislike of the Lin family. Most people instinctively hate people like Master Juren, and the Lin family building was quickly affected, and their income dropped sharply.
Xu Zifan and Lin Ruonan stayed here for about the same time. They said goodbye to Mr. Lin and went to visit the magistrate.
Almost half a year ago, the magistrate had met them, but that time Xu Zifan was not yet famous, and their meeting was also due to a lawsuit. The magistrate still has a fresh memory of them, because there are almost no people who brought this kind of thing to court, which impressed him very much. He never thought that it didn't take long for him to meet the other party again.
The magistrate treated Xu Zifan politely, with a little respect. Based on Xu Zifan's achievements, he knew that Xu Zifan's future position would be higher than his, so he naturally hoped to have a good relationship. The magistrate's wife also called a theater crew in the backyard, and they had a feast with Lin Ruonan to watch the play, and they got along very happily.
When Xu Zifan asked the magistrate to take more care of Mr. Lin, he said: "The family moved in the late life, but I miss my grandfather alone, and I hope the magistrate can help me to take care of it. I am grateful for the late life."
"Taian's words are serious, Lin Li is here and everything will be fine, Tai'an can rest assured." The magistrate agreed with one word, and at the same time he knew that Xu Zifan really hated the Lin family, and there was no room for change.
When a person stands at a high place, he doesn't need to do anything to the person he hates, and someone will help him solve it. Xu Zifan is already a leader, and the next step is to be a jinshi or even a champion. The future is promising. For this small town, everyone must look up to him, and many people are willing to do something that will make him happy to please him.
As soon as Xu Zifan and Lin Ruonan left, the Lin Family Restaurant was suppressed by other restaurants in the town. Lin Ruoshan has secretly made contacts with her, and even broke up with her. Back then, Lin Ruoshan disliked and abandoned Juren Master, and even found so many things for Juren Master. There is a world of difference between a juror and a scholar, and they dare not interact with Lin Ruoshan anymore.
Lin Ruoshan was hit hard. She never thought that Xu Zifan would be in the middle, but Xu Zifan didn't even look at her, and she didn't need to say a word, people would reject her because of Xu Zifan. She is a little confused, can she really live a good life by relying only on Lingquan? Xu Zifan is like a big mountain pressing on her. Does she really have a chance to turn over
Just when the Lin family restaurant was about to make ends meet, Lin Ruoshan found that some people were completely unaffected and would come to the Lin family to buy wine every day. She paid attention and found that they were all people with injuries at home. One day, she deliberately said in front of several wine buyers: "If this continues, this wine may not be sold anymore."
A few people's expressions changed, and an old lady said anxiously: "Why? Why can't you sell good wine? How much money are you, you?"
Lin Ruoshan lowered her head and wiped her tears, choked up: "I was misunderstood, gossip, I've thought about it for a long time, how can I still have the heart to make wine? Now even the restaurant at home can't be opened, it's all my fault for hurting the family, What's the point of my life?"
The old lady grabbed her and said incoherently, "No! This is no good! This wine must be sold, it must be sold!"
The man next to him also said: "Those people know that they are stupid all day long, it's none of their business? ."
Lin Ruoshan burst into laughter, "If you understand me, I will be satisfied. As long as you still buy wine, I will continue to brew it for you."
Several people despised her, and were extremely disgusted by her pretentious attitude, but the injured relatives at home could only drink this wine to relieve the pain, and it was better than medicine.
