Chapter 28
"This is your Uncle Yi."
Lin Yunwan pulled her younger brother Lin Yunyi to Lu Changgong.
Lu Changgong bowed and shouted: "Uncle."
Lin Yunyi had no younger brothers or sisters, so he suddenly became an uncle. He was still a little nauseous. He nodded gently and said, "Long Gong, get up."
Lu Changgong didn't feel anything was wrong and stood up.
Madam Guo and Mrs. Lin laughed.
Lin Yunwan also covered her smile with a handkerchief, and said to Lin Yunyi: "You are still putting on a show."
Lin Yunyi raised his long eyebrows and said, "Of course, I am the uncle."
Like a beautiful big rooster, it strode up the stone steps with its head held high.
Lin Yunwan smiled and told Lu Changgong: "Your uncle is easy to talk to, but some scholars have a bad temper. Don't be afraid of him."
Lu Changgong said with a smile: "Mother, my son knows."
Mrs. Lin said: "Okay, don't waste time, go up."
The whole group went up the mountain.
The journey is not too far. After passing the cemetery, there is a very famous Red Elephant Temple further up. I heard that the Bodhisattvas here are very spiritual. Although the location is remote and quiet, it is still very popular.
They originally planned to go to the mountain to borrow vegetarian food, but Lin Yunwan had already sent a message to the temple, and the abbot and master inside were already ready to welcome the guests.
Lin Yunyi is energetic, tall and has long legs, and can walk fast.
But he wouldn't go too far, just a few steps ahead of Lin Yunwan and the others, and would look back from time to time.
"Yun Wan, why didn't you bring your other child?"
Lady Guo cares about Lin Yunwan.
They are all her own, and Lin Yunwan has nothing to hide. She said: "Now the government has invited Mr. Zhang Fengan to be Brother Qing's teacher. Mr. Zhang has always been strict and did not give him a day off today. Brother Qing's temperament is also true." It needed to be collected, so I didn’t bring him here.”
Everyone could tell that it was just an excuse.
How could the teacher disagree with paying homage to the deceased elders?
Madam Guo just said lightly: "Brother's studies are more important."
Instead of talking about the Lu family, he asked about Longbow's lessons.
"Where did you learn from "Bamboo Branch Tie"?"
Lu Changgong said: "I have learned the Western Chapter."
Madam Guo calculated the time it took Lin Yunwan to get the post from her, and said with a smile: "So soon?"
Lin Yunwan couldn't help praising him: "He is very diligent and knows everything he says without any effort on my part."
Madam Guo looked at Lu Changgong and nodded.
When Lin Yunyi heard this, he quickly stopped and waited for them to catch up, then said, "What do you praise him for?"
Lin Yunwan said: "Praise him for his young age. Unlike you, he goes up the mountain like a monkey returning home."
Everyone laughed, and Lin Yunyi said dissatisfiedly: "Sister, you can't say that to me, I'm still very stable outside." But when I'm with my family, I can't help but be a little indulgent.
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Why do I smell sourness?"
Another round of laughter.
Lin Yunyi touched his nose. What, couldn't he be jealous of his sister?
Lu Changgong pursed his lips and shyly comforted Lin Yunyi: "Uncle, I am young, so my mother takes more care of me. When I grow up, I will also take care of my uncle."
Lin Yunyi smiled: "Everyone is joking, how can I argue with my nephew?"
Mrs. Lin smiled, her eyes were filled with tears, they were very cloudy and hurt a little.
This is a disease caused by blindness.
"Mom, wipe it with a handkerchief first."
Even after wiping it with a dry handkerchief, I still felt uncomfortable.
Lin Yunwan asked the maids and women following behind her if they had any water, and everyone shook their heads. Since they could rest in the temple after worshiping, they didn't take too many things. Lin Yunwan and her sister also secretly blamed themselves for neglecting even such a trivial matter.
Mrs. Lin said: "It doesn't matter. I'll wipe it off when I get to the temple later."
After walking for a while, Lu Changgong suddenly whispered to Lin Yunwan: "Mom, I left something behind. I'll go back and pick it up."
Lin Yunwan nodded and sent a woman to follow.
Lu Changgong ran away in two or three steps.
As they approached Taifu Lin's grave, everyone remembered old things and had no intention of talking.
Lin Yunyi walked over first, looked at the clean tombstone, and said, "Hey, someone has already been here." He also placed a bouquet of flowers.
It's not surprising, Taifu Lin had brought many students before he became Taifu, and there are also the tombs of other Lin clan members nearby.
Lin Yunwan said: "Maybe he is his father's student or a member of the clan."
Mrs. Lin stood in front of her late husband's grave and couldn't help crying for a while.
Lin Yunwan was also sad, but she still tried her best to persuade her mother. After all, her mother's eyes would be a little uncomfortable when she shed tears.
Mrs. Lin quickly said, "I'm fine."
It has been several years since her husband passed away. Like her children, she has gradually gotten used to it, but she is not so sad that she cannot control it. Just the eyes are red.
"Mother."
Lu Changgong didn't know when he came, holding a water bag in his hand, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was still breathing a little.
Lin Yunwan looked at him stunned for a moment.
Lu Changgong said: "Mother, please wipe Mrs....'s eyes." He also knew how to look at her eyes. All the way up to now, Mrs. Lin had never acknowledged him, and he did not dare to yell.
Lin Yunwan took it with a smile, wet the handkerchief, and wiped her mother's eyes.
Mrs. Lin held the wet handkerchief, moved in her heart, and said: "You are here, please kowtow to your grandfather."
Lin Yunwan: "Grandma is talking to you, why are you standing there?"
Lu Changgong came to his senses and quickly kowtowed in front of Taifu Lin. Lin Yunyi helped him up.
It didn't take long before everyone was ready to leave.
Lady Guo said: "I won't go to Red Elephant Temple. I don't believe in this, and it would be an offense to the monks in the temple." Even if you don't respect gods and Buddhas, you still have to respect living people. She has always been like this. She has her own rules in her heart and sticks to them silently.
Mrs. Lin didn't try to keep her either.
Lin Yunwan also nodded and said: "Okay." She became more and more confused, how could the lady have an accident in a Buddhist land?
She sent Lady Guo off for a few steps on behalf of her mother, and said a little: "I want to go to your house when I have time and ask you for some advice on perfume mixing."
Lady Guo readily agreed.
The sense of smell in perfumery is very important. Lin Yunwan has some talent. She is eager to bring out a good apprentice.
After deciding, she went down the mountain.
After Lin Yunwan saw off Mrs. Guo, she turned around and saw Lu Changgong and Lin Yunyi talking seriously about something, but mainly Lin Yunyi said and Lu Changgong listened. After all, he had learned very little and could not say anything in front of Lin Yunyi.
Looking at her adopted son and younger brother, her desire to learn how to make perfume became even stronger.
In her previous life, she had spent all her energy on those white-eyed wolves in Wudinghou Mansion. In this life, she will take good care of her meager dowry. No matter how much it is, it will be a help to her parents' family in the future, and her mother and younger brother can also live more comfortably. .
After thinking about it, Lin Yunwan was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Let's go to the temple."
The two brothers immediately followed me obediently.
