Chapter 427
Linhu Village, heavy snow.
Flying snow like salt, pouring from the sky.
Pressing down on tree branches, freezing the lake surface.
If it were in the past, a heavy snow would be a disaster for the common people in the village.
Heavy snow means no fishing, and one can only consume the remaining grain at home.
A timely snow promises a good harvest, that refers to moderate snow.
More than ten days of heavy snow is a test of life and death for ordinary people.
But for the current villagers of Linhu Village, even if it snows for a few more days, they are not worried.
Although the territory of Linhu Village hasn't changed much, it is the number one village in the entire Daliang.
In just a few years, more than a dozen organ-refining martial artists have walked out of Linhu Village. This is because there are not many teenagers in the village, otherwise there would be more.
Teenagers in Linhu Village are not short of martial arts cultivation resources.
The Daliang Martial Administration Department has special martial arts cultivation resources for Linhu Village. Every teenager can receive the required elixirs before they can start practicing martial arts.
On the third day of this heavy snow, the Poyang County government sent government runners and martial artists to deliver food, cotton quilts, charcoal, and other heating supplies, fearing that villagers would starve or freeze to death.
All the villagers of Linhu Village know clearly in their hearts who they owe their good life to.
At this moment, all the villagers looked at the three-entry courtyard under the back mountain of the village.
Linhu Lin Fu.
The imposing door plaque is said to have been written by the current Emperor himself and sent by the Jiangnan Dao Dao Lord in person.
Although it was heavy snow, the courtyard was free of snow. The servants had already cleaned the entire mansion clean, and the front of the house was covered with thick wool blankets. Before entering the house, the servants had to wipe the snow and water under their feet on the blankets to avoid wetting the house.
In the house, charcoal fire was burning vigorously, warm as spring, like two worlds from the cold outside.
At the door, someone knocked.
"Second Master, you are here."
The gatekeeper of the Lin Fu looked at Lin He who appeared at the door and invited him in quickly.
"Second Master, the Master is over at the main hall. I will take you there."
The gatekeeper looked at the middle-aged man standing behind him. He was wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, but from the exposed wrists, it was obvious that the cuffs were short, either borrowed or worn for many years.
"No need for you to take us, I will go myself."
Lin He shook his head and also saw the person the gatekeeper was staring at behind him. He introduced: "This is my eldest brother, and also the eldest brother of your Master."
"Eldest Master?"
The gatekeeper was stunned. He is not from Linhu Village, but entered the Lin Fu three years ago.
He knew that his Master had an eldest brother, but he had never seen him. He originally thought that the Eldest Master might have passed away early.
Although he is not from Linhu Village, he is from Poyang County and has heard of the Lin family, the number one family in Poyang County. He knows that the rise of the Lin family is because of the Master's son, Lin Chen.
Ten years ago, the Lin family was just an ordinary fisherman's family.
In such an ordinary family, it is normal for children to die early or pass away early after growing up due to illness.
He didn't expect that the Eldest Master was still alive.
But what shocked him even more was why the Eldest Master was dressed so poorly, even worse than these servants.
This is the Master's eldest brother, the Young Master's eldest uncle.
With these two titles, where would he not be a guest of honor? Why would he look so down and out?
Lin He didn't say much to the gatekeeper and took his eldest brother straight to the main hall.
Poyang County, Zhao family.
Decorated with lanterns and colored banners, full of joy.
The wedding day of Zhao family's eldest son, Zhao Jingchuan.
"Lin Lin Shixiong, I didn't expect you to find me."
"Don't think too much. I just happened to be back for a while and caught up with it. I didn't come back specifically to drink your wedding wine. Don't worry too much about me. You are the groom today."
"But..."
"Don't 'but' anymore. There are Lin Lin Shidi Lu and the others to accompany me. I won't go out to join the fun, so as not to steal your limelight."
Lin Chen smiled. He didn't notify anyone when he returned to Poyang County this time, just because he didn't want to attract too much attention.
With his current status, once he appears openly, the entire Poyang County and even Raozhou Prefecture will cause a sensation. He doesn't want to be too labor-intensive. He just wants to stay with his family quietly for a few days this time.
"Lin Lin Shidi Zhao, Lin Lin Shixiong is right. You are the groom today, you are the biggest. But Lin Lin Shixiong won't go out, we still have to go out in a while." Lu Yongfeng spoke with a smile on the side.
"Right, we still have to make a scene in the bridal chamber." Cheng Ying also echoed.
Lin Lin Shixiong's status is too eye-catching. Although appearing in public would bring more attention to the Zhao family, with the Zhao family's current strength, there is no need for this.
The four major families of Poyang County: Lin, Zhao, Lu, Cheng.
And the relationship between their three families and the Lin family is known to many dignitaries. Looking back now, the fact that they entered the Martial Hall in the same session as Lin Chen and later kept in touch is the wisest thing they have done in their lives.
Otherwise, with their talent and family financial resources, how could they possibly enter the eighth rank before thirty? It's all because they benefited from Lin Chen.
The lords of Daliang know very well that Lin Lin Shixiong is now wandering in the Yan Imperial Dynasty, and the time he comes to Daliang will only be less and less. If there are no old friends, he might choose to take his family and leave Daliang directly.
And they, these fellow disciples who entered in the same session and have a good relationship with Lin Chen, are Lin Lin Shixiong's old friends and a memory of Lin Lin Shixiong in Daliang.
