Retirement Life

Chapter 54: Brother has arrived

Views:

Lin Mo waited for a long time, and finally got the news that his second brother had arrived in the capital.

And An Chenglin also asked people to repair the Lin family's ancestral house after his younger brother proposed. In order to solve the Yu family and the court ministers' memorial at one time, the emperor made a decisive decree without any intention of discussing with the ministers, anyway, he often did so.

Naturally, the ministers dared not speak out, and were shocked by the news that the Lin family still had descendants. After getting the news, the Yu family did not stop the emperor from sending people to repair the Lin family's ancestral house. On the contrary, they specially sent people to supervise, for fear that those who don't have good eyesight will dismantle or break something.

The shadow guard sent by Cheng Yan to supervise came back to report the matter to him. After listening to it, Cheng Yan's feelings towards the Yu family changed a little. I used to think that members of the Yu family were stubborn, old-fashioned and pedantic, but now it seems that they really value friendship.

The Yu family and the Lin family are both scholarly families, and they were family friends several generations ago. When the Lin family was framed, the Yu family could still stand up, this kind of courage is very rare now.

After all, it is normal for people to take tea to cool down.

It won't take long for the renovation of the Lin family's ancestral house, and Cheng Yan began to prepare to send someone to pick up Lin's father and Lin's mother. Lin Mo handed over the token to Cheng Yan, and asked him to take it with him when he sent someone there. If it passed like this, the eldest brother who has the memory of the previous life would not let the Lin family follow them.

It was just dawn outside, and Cheng Yan was woken up by Lin Mo who was tossing and turning. Without opening his eyes, Cheng Yan stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, holding him tightly.

"Momo, why did you wake up so early?" Cheng Yan opened his eyes slightly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Second brother will be here today." Lin Mo turned sideways, with both hands resting on Cheng Yan's chest.

"Didn't you arrive in the afternoon?" Cheng Yan put his chin on his head, rubbed it lightly, and said in a low voice.

"Well... I'm so happy, I can't sleep." Lin Mo muttered in a low voice.

Knowing that their Lin family is the descendant of the Lin family in the capital, the emperor brother and Cheng Yan have already begun to secretly investigate the prime minister and Prince Jing. The fact that the Lin family was framed in the previous life was easily resolved in this life due to the intervention of the two highest-ranking members of the Yu Kingdom.

Now, the second brother who hasn't seen for more than a month is coming soon. Knowing so much good news at the same time, Lin Mo was naturally excited. Therefore, he was in a state of half asleep and half awake all night, and now he has just woken up at dawn.

"Sleep for a while, and go to the city gate to pick up Second Brother in the afternoon." Cheng Yan reached out and patted his back regularly to lull him to sleep.

Cheng Yan was naturally aware of Lin Mo's state the whole night last night, and it was only brighter outside now. The spring morning was still a bit cold, and Lin Mo was still sleeping deeply at this time.

Lin Mowei raised his head and glanced out the window, and found that the sky was not completely bright yet, after thinking about it, he decided to continue to sleep. Lin Mo shrank back under the blanket and stretched out his arms to hug Cheng Yan, resting his forehead on his chest, smelling the familiar breath, and fell asleep not long after.

So today, all the servants of Prince Cheng's Mansion discovered that their prince who wakes up to practice martial arts on time every morning, no matter whether it is wind or rain, is not absent today, and he didn't wake up today.

Waiting outside the dormitory, when the prince and husband woke up, they went in to serve the maids who dressed and combed the master, and waited all morning. It was almost time for lunch, and they finally heard the prince's voice from inside the house.

The maids breathed a sigh of relief, and went in with the washbasins that had been prepared and had been changed many times.

Because Lin Xiu was worried about his younger brother, he shortened the journey from one and a half months to one month. After a month of running around, they finally arrived at the imperial city.

The son of the Yu family who was traveling with Lin Xiu lost more than half of his guards when he was ambushed before. Worried that there would be thieves robbing and killing him on the road, he naturally didn't dare to stay on the road for too long, so he followed Lin Xiu and his team on the road.

They were ambushed several times on the way, but fortunately, the shadow guards left by Cheng Yan solved it, and more than a dozen people came behind to protect them secretly. Except for the exhaustion caused by the long journey, no one in their team was injured.

Lin Xiu wanted to ask those shadow guards about his younger brother's current situation several times, but they disappeared after finishing solving him every time. Lin Xiu didn't even have a chance to speak. On the way, he could only comfort himself in his heart. Those shadow guards belonged to Cheng Yan. With Cheng Yan around, his brother would definitely not have any accidents.

"Thank you brother Lin for your help this time, it's not as good as today..." Yu Yange got off the carriage and walked towards Lin Xiu. If there were no Lin Xiu and the shadow guard behind him along the way, Yu Yange knew that it would be difficult for him to return to the imperial city. But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by someone.

"Second brother!"

Lin Mo, who was waiting at the side, was overjoyed when he saw his second brother get off the carriage. He shouted loudly and walked over there quickly.

The guards standing aside saw Mrs. Wang passing by, and quickly followed. Originally, the prince was going to accompany Mrs. Wang out today, but unexpectedly, he was summoned into the palace by His Majesty just after lunch.

So today when Lin Mo came out, he was accompanied by a group of guards. The passers-by who passed by them were all startled by the battle. After seeing the marks on their clothes, they hurried to the side to make room for them.

People who saw Prince Cheng's mansion would do their best to avoid it if they could.

"Ms. Wang! Slow down!" The two maids standing beside Mrs. Wang saw Mrs. Wang walking towards the city gate suddenly, and quickly followed her.

Lin Xiu heard a familiar voice, turned his head to look, and found a certain familiar brother walking towards him. Lin Xiu took a closer look and realized that the man was his younger brother.

Lin Xiu turned his head and said a few words to Yu Yange, then walked towards Lin Mo.

"Second brother, didn't you get hurt on the road?" Lin Mo approached and sized up the second brother, and found that he only looked a little pale, but Lin Mo was still a little worried.

"It's okay, the people left by Cheng Yan have dealt with those people... But, why do you feel that you have become thinner, Amo?" When Lin Mo came over, Lin Xiu realized that he seemed to be much thinner than a month ago. The fleshy faces are gone.

"Maybe he just came to the imperial city and he's not used to it..." Lin Mo didn't tell the truth to his second brother. Anyway, he's fine now, and telling the truth made his second brother worry in vain.

"That's good, the second brother thought you were sick." Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. In the past, when my younger brother was sick, he was always sick for ten days and a half months. Every time, he managed to gain some weight, and then he was so thin that only his bones remained.

"It's been such a long journey, second brother and I will go back and rest."

"Okay, second brother, go and talk to the dean, and bring the things over by the way."

Lin Mo nodded, and turned his head to tell the guards waiting behind him to help him get the things.

"Yes, Mrs. Wang!" Several guards said respectfully, and then walked behind Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu, who hadn't walked a few steps, paused when he heard the guards addressing his younger brother, and finally walked to the dean without saying anything.

Mrs. Wang? Then Cheng Yan is the prince

On the way An Chenglin was fighting for the throne, although he was quiet, his brothers had already started killing each other secretly. After An Chenglin came to the throne, there were not many brothers left, so there were not many princes in Yu Country, and they could be counted on the palm of one hand.

Lin Xiu has been studying in the academy since he reached the age. In the scientific examination, he not only needs to study the Four Books and Five Classics, but also the national history and political theory of Yu State. Lin Xiu still knows how many princes there are in Yu Country.

And the title of prince that matches Cheng Yan's name is only King Cheng, the god of war. Lin Xiu never imagined that Cheng Yan was the frightening King Cheng. Seeing a group of guards guarding his younger brother, Lin Xiu knew that Cheng Yan had probably recovered his memory.

After recovering his memory, would Cheng Yan still love his brother? Are there other concubines in the palace? If so, will my brother be bullied by them

Lin Xiu was a little troubled. He found that he didn't really trust Cheng Yan's promises to his younger brother in front of him and his eldest brother. Look at it now, Amo doesn't accompany him when he comes out. In the past, the two of them were always stuck together, doing everything together.

Cheng Yan, who was discussing the start time of the plan with his brother in the palace, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

After Lin Xiu passed by, members of the Yu family also arrived. The guards of the Yu family packed up the young master's things, and then invited the young master into the prepared carriage.

As soon as Yu Yange got into the carriage, he saw his father sitting in the carriage, "Why did father come here in person?"

"Ambush by thieves on the way?" Father Yu asked.

"Well, thanks to brother Lin's presence, I was able to escape the danger. But, how did father know?" Yu Yange asked doubtfully.

"News from His Royal Highness Cheng Wang." Father Yu put down the curtains and turned around.

"His Royal Highness Cheng?!" Yu Yange was a little surprised. Although he had to go to other places to study due to family reasons, he still knew the situation in the imperial city.

"The brother Lin you mentioned should be Mrs. Cheng's elder brother. His Royal Highness Cheng recently said that there are still people in the Lin family, and His Majesty has ordered people to repair the Lin family's ancestral house. Maybe it won't be long before the Lin family is escorted back to Beijing by His Royal Highness Cheng."

"Father is saying that brother Lin is a descendant of the Lin family?"

"What do you think of his talent?" Father Lin asked without answering.

"On par with me, but slightly inferior to me in political theory." After Yu Yange finished speaking, he was sure.

About the Lin family, Yu Yange heard from his grandfather when he was a child. After they escaped from birth, they must have gone to a remote place to hide their backgrounds, and in this way, Lin Xiu's talents and learning were only slightly inferior to him. Yu Yange believed that if Lin Xiu was in the same environment as him, Lin Xiu might be much taller than him.

After Lin Xiu explained some things to the dean and his classmates and friends, he took his things and left with Lin Mo. Considering that those people were from Mulin County, or friends who had been classmates with his second brother for several years, Lin Mo asked some guards to take them to the inn to take care of them.

Thinking that Wang Fu and Wang Fu's elder brother might have something to say, the two maids sat in another carriage.

"Amo, tell the second brother honestly, did Cheng Yan... bully you?" Lin Xiu struggled for a long time before asking.

"No, second brother, why do you ask that?" Lin Mo asked in confusion.

Why did the second brother think that he would be bullied by Cheng Yan

"But the rumor is not that King Cheng..."

"Second brother, although Cheng Yan has regained his memory, he still treats me the same as before. And those rumors are not true, second brother, don't just believe what the rumors are." Lin Mo said helplessly.

"Okay, it's the second brother who wants to go wrong."

Now that his younger brother said so, Lin Xiu no longer doubted Cheng Yan. The eldest brother told him that their current fourth brother's character is different from ordinary brothers, if Cheng Yan really treats him badly, the younger brother will not hide it from them.
