The sudden sound from a distance made the two parties in the dispute and the onlookers stop, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.
The dust was flying, the horses were neighing, and a group of officers and soldiers came on horseback. They wore uniform black official uniforms, red crane cloaks, scimitars on their waists, and soap boots, neat and solemn. The leader of the group has delicate features, and his youthful face has faded away, becoming mature and steady.
Lin Zhixing rode a tall horse, like the No. 1 scholar parading the streets in the drama, and got off the horse until he was surrounded by everyone. He walked towards Lin Qiao with excitement, "Mother! The unfilial son is back!"
Only then did Lin Qiao recover from her daze, and two lines of turbid tears flowed down instantly, "My son! You've come back! Mom knew you would definitely come back alive!"
"Mom! Your son has made you worry!"
The mother and son cried in each other's arms, and the grief was mixed with the joy of reuniting after a long absence. Ever since Lin Jinru saw her brother, she hadn't stopped crying, crying and laughing at the same time, not knowing what to do. This scene made the people around feel sad when they watched it.
It took a long time for the mother and son to calm down. Then Lin Zhixing asked, "What happened just now? Why are mother and sister so angry?"
Lin Qiaoshi was not going to say that her son had just returned from the world, so she should rest. She didn't want to tell him the bad things about the Wang family at this time. Unexpectedly, Lin Jinru couldn't hold back, and when her brother asked about it, she said everything in one go.
"... Their family is too deceitful. If you hadn't come back in time, brother, our family's field would have been lost." Lin Jinru said while crying.
After hearing this, Lin Zhixing clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands popped out, and he turned to look at the Wang family with a gloomy expression, "Are you here to ask for the gift money?"
The Wang family has actually retreated in their hearts at this moment. The son of the Lin family suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was still wearing an official uniform. He is no longer someone they can provoke. So the Wang family sneered, "You misunderstood, we didn't come here to ask for gift money, but my kid, he likes your sister to death, and he won't marry unless she is, let's make peace again, and see if we can fulfill them, as the saying goes Said, it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy a family..."
"Nonsense! That's not what you said just now!" Lin Jinru blushed at the other party's shamelessness, and couldn't help but refute.
Lin Zhixing took a step forward, protected her behind him, gave her a calm look, then chuckled lightly, with a calm expression on his face, "Want to marry my sister?"
His attitude was so amiable, he could even be called amiable, which made the Wang family heave a sigh of relief. That's right, being divorced is bad for a woman's family's reputation, so what if Lin Zhixing becomes an official? Don't you want to rush to marry your sister to them? Thinking about it this way, the Wang family felt relieved and smiled all over their faces, "That's right, that kid is talking about Miss Jinru every day at home, threatening not to marry unless she is..."
"You are also worthy?"
Lin Zhixing dropped these words calmly, and looked at the Wang family with a sneering expression, with anger brewing deep in his eyes.
The smiles of the Wang family froze on their faces, and they looked very funny. After reacting, she became annoyed and said, "Don't think that you can scare people by wearing this skin. If you want to marry into our family, we don't want it! She has already been annulled by our Wang family, and her reputation is ruined! Don't marry me in this life." I want to get married!"
Before Lin Zhixing could speak, one of his subordinates couldn't help it, "Ha, it really is the ignorant who is fearless, and it's the first time I've seen such a big face! Just to let you know that our lord is the prime minister of the court! !"
"Prime Minister?!"
The villagers were taken aback and stared in disbelief, as if they wanted to find the shadow of a joke on his face, but they found nothing. The Wang family couldn't believe it. Even an ordinary citizen would not know what a prime minister is. He is the head of a hundred officials. It can be said that one person is under one person and over ten thousand people!
"Why would you worry about marrying the daughter of a high-ranking official? As long as you let the word out, those in the capital who want to marry our lady will be lined up from the capital to your Lin'an! A countryman dares to miss our lady, what a toad wants to eat swans Meat, I don't know what to say!"
The members of the Wang family blushed. They didn't know whether it was from anger or embarrassment. They thought that Lin Zhixing was just a low-level official, but they didn't expect him to be the prime minister!
It is an unchanging truth since ancient times that the people do not fight with the officials, and the Wang family naturally understands this truth. But now it has offended people severely.
The Wang family was full of remorse and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, but Lin Zhixing was unmoved, and he was not going to let these bastards who bullied his mother and sister go, so he confessed to send all these people to the government and convict them according to what they committed. Trespassing on private houses, stealing and stealing, deceit and occupation... Just rebelling according to their original crimes is enough for them to drink a pot.
The farce ended with Lin Zhixing's resolute actions. After the Wang family was taken away cursing, the villagers asked with a smile, "Zhixing, you have become a high-ranking official?" His tone was flattering.
It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Lin Zhixing is now the prime minister, and he is full of style and dignity, which makes people dare not be disrespectful.
Lin Zhixing said with a smile, "They all belong to the folks in the village, just call me Zhixing as before."
Hearing this, the group of people relaxed a little bit, and Li Zheng knew better, knowing that they had to kneel down when they met a first-rank official, so they quickly knelt down and prepared to bow down. Lin Zhixing rushed up, helped him up and said, "In terms of seniority, I have to call you third uncle, how dare I be worshiped by you? I have not been at home these years, thanks to the help of the villagers to take care of my mother and younger sister, thank you everyone Now, Zhixing must remember everyone’s kindness.”
"It's all from the folks in the village. It's right to help each other, and it's not worth anything."
"That's right, a few generations back, we are all one ancestor, how can we be so outrageous?"
…
Lin Zhixing, who returned home in good clothes, was enthusiastically sought after by the villagers. There is a prime minister in Lin Family Village! This is a matter of Guangzong Yaozu! It is a great event that can be recorded in the village annals for future generations to look up to!
Therefore, everyone was very respectful when they saw Lin Zhixing, Lin Zhixing did not put on airs, and was still as approachable as before. He stayed in the village for ten days, paid homage to the ancestors, swept the graves, repaired the ancestral house, and visited the respected elders in the village. After that, he took his mother and sister and set off for Beijing.
