    Volume 4 Stormy Jiangnan Chapter 87 Back House

    "You areYoungMaster Nan?"

    While the person in front stopped the incoming person, he watched intently. The more he looked, the more doubtful he looked on his face, and finally he asked tentatively.  Lin Nan felt a little impatient, but then felt relaxed and at ease.

    "Close the door first, and then come back and talk."

    The person who stopped Lin Nan in front of him was a steward of Jingbei Bofu.  Since Lin Wu died, the Chen family was the only one left in the family. Nominally, the two sons Lin Nan and Lin Zhi were keeping mourning in Ding You, the western suburbs, and everyone around them was also absent from the house.  As for the old house in Beijing, the four rooms of the Lin family were separated from each other. The servants of the second room, who belonged to Lin Nan's branch, all went to the courtyard of the second room. Therefore, Uncle Jingbei's house, which belonged to the old house, also knew Lin Nan.  There are not many people.

    ??????????????????? But Lin Nan had lived in the Jingbei uncle's house for many days before, and he was the grandson of the old lady Zhao, so there were still a few people who were waiting on him.  Coincidentally, today's steward is one of them.  Lin Nan was dusty at this time. After coming down from the battlefield, he barely changed into a pair of clothes in Xiangyang City before crossing the horse to the north. After all the hard work, he no longer looked like a young master, but despite this, he was still attracted by those eyes.  The somewhat neat steward recognized it.

    The news of Lin Nan's return was quickly spread to the old lady.  When she left Beijing for the first time about half a year ago, the old lady said that Lin Nan was really keeping filial piety in the western suburbs. At first, the second bedroom also hid it very well, but there is no airtight wall in the world. In front of family members who are very concerned about everything, there are  Many things cannot be hidden for too long, especially from the eyes of a shrewd old lady who will not rub the sand.  After hearing the news from before, Zhao's heart suddenly twitched, and then finally fell to the ground.

    Many people suddenly poured out of the second door, crowding Lin Nan towards the back house. At the same time, the servants who had received the old lady's orders also quickly quickened their pace and reported the news to Chen at the other end of the second room.  Not long after, Lin Nan came to the back house and saw her grandmother. Without saying a word, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Grandma, I'm back."

    Seeing her grandson kneeling alive in front of her, Zhao, although she had been angry and worried before, now seeing Lin Nan's desolate look, her heart was filled with love, sorrow and joy.  The old lady still remembers the look on Nan'er's face when she was nominated for the gold medal half a year ago. Look at how she ended up like this now. How much hardship and suffering she had to endure in the south to become a woman in the blink of an eye.  Such a look Mrs. Zhao's skinny palms were raised in the air, but she didn't hit the table after all. Instead, she stood up from her seat, tremblingly touched her grandson's dark and thin cheeks, and held her in her arms, crying uncontrollably.  The place of residence falls down.

    Although Lin Nan had expected in advance and his mind was far more tough than the elderly, his heart was also excited at this time.  This is my family. There are all kinds of good things in the world, but in the final analysis, they are really good to me. The people closest to me are always my blood relatives.

    I am finally home.

    Just as he was sighing, there was another burst of people outside. When Lin Nan turned around, he met the red eyes of his mother, Mrs. Chen.  For some reason, the moment I saw my mother, I felt a little relieved in my chest. Suddenly, a sense of sorrow and sorrow filled my heart. Although I subconsciously held back the tears, they still flowed down naturally

    "Mom, I'm back"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    This is probably the first time that everyone in the family has seen Lin Nan's current appearance.  The wind and dust accumulated for many days in a row had accumulated a thick layer on my body, almost to the point of feeling swollen.  The clothes were damaged in two places, and some places were still dark red.  The hair on my head, blown by the wind and rain, was now sticky and felt.  At the beginning, no one paid attention, just talking and talking, but after calming down a little, Lin Nan was sent away by the old lady and left to bathe and change clothes.

    After a while of hustle and bustle, the back house finally settled down again. The previously full room of people had all been dismissed, leaving only the old lady Zhao, the eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest and first eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest members and first eldest members, aed house, a peace of mind in a stable state, the second eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest and second eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest eldest est.  The eldest maid Hongyu and several others were waiting around.

    Everyone's eyes were red, especially Lin Nan's biological mother Chen. Since Lin Nan left, she was one of the few insiders. On the one hand, she had to worry about the safety of her son, who was not as young as a weak crown, on the other hand.  On the one hand, he also had to help his son hide it from the old lady above and the servants in other houses This life was really difficult.  Later, the shrewd old lady learned the truth of the matter, and Chen's life became even more difficult.  Not only did he get scolded by the old lady, but he also deeply regretted it.  Fortunately, my son came back safely today, but looking dark and thin, I still feel a lot of pain in my heart.

    After a while of emotion, several people sat and chatted while waiting for Lin Nan to come back.  It¡¯s just today¡¯s topic, but there is no one??Everyone in the field was focused on Lin Nan.  Not long after, a figure flashed at the door, but it was Lin Nan who had finished bathing and returned to the back house.

    After just a brief glance, the eyes of several people in the room lit up.

    Lin Nan, who had taken a bath again and changed his clothes, now not only looked brand new compared to just now, but also seemed like a different person compared to him half a year ago.  After washing, the black hair was carefully combed by the maid. Not only was it extremely soft, but it was also shiny again.  Although his features were dark and thin, he still showed some elegance, but more clearly, he was calm and capable. This was even more obvious in the eyes of the elders of the Lin family who had not seen him for more than half a year.  This is the kind of calmness that can only come after experiencing big things and going through some sufficient experiences.  Such a temperament will mostly appear in officials who have been in high and low official positions for many years or in generals who have experienced life and death, but it is often rare in young people.  But now, Lin Nan just stood quietly in the house, and people felt that it was very different from the past.

    After the old lady Zhao, Zhou and Chen looked at each other, they sighed quietly, and their eye circles were a little moist.  Although his eyes were looking at his grandson, he still vaguely seemed to be seeing his deceased husband and son.  The dark eyebrows, the straight bridge of the nose, the corners of the lips that are pursed from time to time, and An Ran who stands there quietly but extremely free and easy He looks exactly like the young Minister Lin!  The old lady saw the shadow of Lin Shilang, but in Chen's eyes, she saw not only the growth of her son, but also the shadow of the late Lin Wu.  Comparing the two, several people sighed in unison.  Lin Nan just changed his clothes and returned to the back house, but he burst into tears again.

    While several elder women were sighing, they also realized one thing again: this child has grown up.  This didn't feel like the previous joy that came from watching the children around me grow up, but a true realization from the bottom of my heart that Lin Nan in front of me was an adult.  The young and calm child before may still have some youthful temperament that occasionally showed up inadvertently, but the person standing in front of him now is no longer a young master under the protection of adults, but can block the family's  Stormy people.

    Although they did not say it out loud, their words and behavior made Lin Nan clearly feel that it was different from usual.  Even the few maids standing around who had some status in the mansion looked at Lin Nan with an inexplicable respect.

    The maid Hongyu personally brought the newly brewed tea. Lin Nan sat down next to the old lady and mother. After exchanging a few words, he began to talk about what he had seen and done since he was in the south.

    From the first trip south to rescue old man Qiao, to the second trip south to announce the good news, he met his father's sick bed. After returning to Beijing with the coffin, he suddenly heard about Lian Xin Begonia from mugwort and old man Qiao.  These planted flowers and plants Later, after hiding it from my grandmother and getting my uncle's approval, I traveled south three times and was in danger on the bank of the Yangtze River. In order to save Zhou Quan and his wife, I killed Feilingwei Xiaoqi Ge San

    Later, he lurked in Xiangyang City and secretly visited the Chief Envoy of Hannan, only to find that the vegetation and flowers originally planted in the courtyard had been completely replaced in a short period of time With the arrival of Zhang Yuanwai and Master Lou,  After being exposed, a series of officials from the chief envoys, including Wang Shenzheng and Li Shenyou, were implicated. The final finger of the incident - King Wu, finally surfaced.  Although Lin Nan did not deliberately exaggerate the helplessness and hesitation at that time in his narration, everyone could still think of the situation at that time.

    The outbreak of floods and the beginning of King Wu's rebellion brought new progress.  Although Lin Nan was sitting safely at the moment, listening to him talk about the overwhelming floods, the bloody battle of Xiangyang City after several battles, the elders in the room still couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts.  Although Lin Nan deliberately downplayed the situation on the battlefield, the fear and joy that surged in the women's hearts were much stronger than if they had experienced a bloody war in person.  After hearing that Xiangyang City was finally defended, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. But then they heard that Lin Nan and Zhang Zhong were about to pursue nearly a thousand Huai soldiers with only fifty scouts.  Wang Rebel, even though he knows that Lin Nan has returned safely, his heart still inevitably rises again

    The intermittent narration was interrupted from time to time with a few questions, and an hour passed quickly.  By the time Lin Nan had finished describing the general story of his journey south and the elders had finished asking questions, he looked at the sun and saw that it was already setting in the west.  The old lady Zhao quickly ordered the kitchen to start preparing the food, and the family had a good time together.

    After listening to the story all afternoon, although Lin Nan deliberately deleted and concealed some of the plots, the elders such as Zhao and Zhou who were sophisticated in the world still had their own opinions.  At this moment, the old lady Zhao no longer wanted to pursue the matter of Lin Nan leaving home privately and traveling south alone.  As a son of man, can I do anything in this matter?At this point, in Zhao's opinion, the grandson of the Lin family's second wife is worthy of being a descendant of the Lin family and the flesh and blood of Lin Shilang!  Even if he didn't personally avenge his father's murder in the end, his enemy died because of him, and he had a part in it, and that was enough.  In this era, with one's own status and identity, dare to challenge a royal prince. Can ordinary people have such courage and scheming?  What's more, the current King Wu has been dead for many days.  Look at the current King of Huai and King of Yue, which one has lost his head?

    At the family dinner in the evening, there were only a few people there, just the same people as during the day. Among the juniors, apart from Lin Nan, there was only one more cousin, Xue Yi, who was from the eldest family.  Since Lin Wu died not long ago, according to the official system of the founding of the dynasty, Lin Nan and Lin Zhi should still be in the Dingyou period. They are not allowed to feast and have fun before the period is expired.  Although Lin Nan could leave home privately before and go south, but now that he is back, after the matter is settled, he still has to be careful in order to avoid being talked about and not leave any clues to those who are interested.  For this reason, the old lady not only gave the servants in the palace a hush-hush order, but she also did not notify Fourth Master Lin De, Lin Fu, Lin Shou and others about the evening banquet.  Lin Nan also did not stay in the mansion for long. On the second day after returning, he quietly took a carriage to the western suburbs and continued to worry here.

    But before leaving, Lin Nan suddenly made a request to his grandmother Zhao.
