Chapter 182 Thunder Strike

Although she didn't know Lin Jiulang's origin, Li Lijun still asked someone to invite him in.

It's such a cold day and it's raining outside. You can't let people get soaked in the rain outside, right?

As a result, people were invited in. Li Lijun was surprised when she saw it: "You... came here on horseback? Why are you all wet?!"

Lin Jiulang was wearing a riding outfit, a cape, and a hat. He looked like he was ready for a trip on a rainy day. But if he was riding a horse, how much rain could this equipment block? I don’t know what the black cloak is.

It was made of fabric. When Lin Jiulang was wearing it, others couldn't tell whether he was wet in the rain. But as soon as he entered the room and took off his cloak, the blue brocade robe inside was almost soaked.

Li Lijun hurriedly sent someone to fetch clean clothes, and asked Aunt Lu to take Lin Jiulang down to change his clothes first to see if he needed a hot bath, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain if he came out cold later.

.

Lin Jiulang himself didn't care very much: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold. Do you have a brazier in your house? Just lend me a brazier."

Li Lijun didn't listen to him and still asked Grandma Lu to take him down: "If you treat me as a friend, then follow my arrangements."

Lin Jiulang followed Grandma Lu helplessly, and soon he changed into dry clothes and shoes. The clothes, shoes and socks all belonged to Li Shen. He had his own yard in the villa, and Li Lijun asked him to keep it. Now

There are also maids guarding the courtyard. It is not troublesome to send someone over to borrow some clothes.

Lin Jiulang's clothes fit him well, but his shoes were a bit too big, and he couldn't care less at this time. He had to admit that after changing into dry clothes and drinking a large bowl of ginger soup, he felt

He felt warm and comfortable. Returning to the main room of the main house, Li Lijun asked someone to prepare a bowl of hot soup cakes for him and asked him to eat before talking.

Lin Jiulang thanked Li Lijun, but did not start eating noodles immediately. Instead, he said to her very solemnly: "My grandma, uncle, aunt and I went to Luoyang together with my grandma, uncle and aunt to see her off. Because

Grandma wanted to spend the winter in Luoyang, so we stayed there and missed the news from Xijing. I didn’t expect that the farm that Ah Weng gave Mr. Shen Erlang and the Fourth Lady to express his gratitude would cause such a big fuss.

Trouble is coming! This is all the fault of our Lin family. I don’t know how to apologize to the fourth lady, so I can only come here in person and apologize to you."

After saying this, he stood up and bowed to Li Lijun.

Li Lijun stopped him quickly: "You don't have to be like this. Uncle Shen and I are not angry. Although there was some trouble in Zhuangzi, it has calmed down now, and I have nothing to lose. Instead, I got a good farm for nothing. This

It's a good thing. It was someone else who made the mistake, so why should you feel bad about it?"

She tried her best to stop Lin Jiulang from apologizing, but Lin Jiulang had no choice but to sit down again, and said with a depressed expression: "It was because of our friendship that you kindly helped me with the idea. I, Aweng, managed to get out of trouble and went to Lingnan to take up his post.

, originally our family’s troubles have also turned upside down, Aweng was grateful, so he sent two Zhuangzi as a thank you gift. I didn’t expect that this thank you gift not only did not bring you any benefits, but actually caused you trouble. I heard that you are still in Zhuangzi.

He almost died! Even if someone else did something bad, if it weren’t for our family, you and Shinjiro-kun would have nothing to do with it!"

Lin Jiulang really felt very sorry and thought that it would be better if his uncle could investigate the situation of these two Zhuangzi more carefully. Of course, he is busy with his affairs and may not be able to take care of this, so it should be the juniors like them.

The stewards and servants in the family went to share Aweng's worries and shoulder the responsibility of the investigation. But they failed to do so, and something went wrong with the gifts they sent. This is of course the Lin family's responsibility.

Li Lijun felt that this young man was a bit stubborn, and it would be difficult to persuade him to come back after he was determined to die, so he had to change his words: "You don't have to worry too much. Although it was a bit scary when I first heard about it, the result was not bad. There is no such thing in Liujiazhuang

No one was killed, and the injured people and the families whose houses were damaged were also compensated. In order to alleviate his crime, the former Jingyang County Magistrate gave me a large sum of money. I spent all these money on the villagers, so I didn’t have to spend any money.

With money, they also gained a good reputation. The villagers' houses were already old and dilapidated, so they took this opportunity to build new houses. They will be able to live much warmer and more comfortable this winter. As for Uncle Shen's Liuerzhuang, it was not affected at all.

On the contrary, the villagers also have an extra income from helping to build houses. Isn’t this a happy outcome for everyone?”

In addition, because Li Lijun bought people's hearts with the compensation from the former Jingyang County Magistrate, now everyone in Liujiazhuang respects her, and there is no thorn in her side. Everyone is saying that they must work hard next year to win a

A good harvest will please her. If Liujiazhuang really has a good harvest next year, Li Lijun will also be the one who will benefit the most.

She spread her hands to Lin Jiulang: "Look, I have gained a profit, and everyone is happy. Even though I was attacked by a monster not long ago, I still have the energy to gather friends to watch the corpse of the monster snake. It's really lively.

It’s like you’re going to the market. Don’t always talk about apologizing, it’s too disappointing!”

Lin Jiulang immediately stopped talking about whether to apologize or not, so as not to spoil Li Lijun's happiness. However, he still couldn't believe the situation in Liujiazhuang described by Li Lijun: "Everyone... are you really so happy? Isn't it about the people in the village?

Were all the houses almost destroyed by monsters?"

Li Lijun told him about the damage to Liujiazhuang. In fact, most of the houses were not destroyed, but the whirlwind caused by the monster fight was so powerful that the roofs of the cottages were lifted, and some were in disrepair.

The beams and columns of the houses were unstable and could not withstand the force, so many of them collapsed. Now the whole village has been renovated with the help of the east wind of reconstruction, and people who could only live in thatched houses can now live in houses with foundations and earthen walls.

How could you be unhappy if you feel like you are getting an advantage by adding a thatched roof house without having to spend more money? Even before the house is built, you can only temporarily live in a makeshift thatched shed and endure the cold wind and cold.

Rain, they also have smiles on their faces, because during the Chinese New Year, they will be able to move into their new home.

After Lin Jiulang listened to Li Lijun's words, he was silent for a while.

Li Lijun didn't know what he was thinking, and because she didn't want him to dwell on this topic anymore, she asked about something else: "Did you just come from Chang'an? Have you met Uncle Shen? He's been having a great time these days.

Okay? Did the canonization ceremony of Aye go well? Also, the body of the demon snake should have been transported to Chang'an, but it has aroused heated discussions in the city? "Has Fen Youguan finished the matter?

Lin Jiulang woke up from his thoughts and smiled: "Everything is fine with Mr. Shen Erlang. The canonization ceremony of King Si Zou also went smoothly. However... the corpse of the demon snake has not been transported to Chang'an, and it is still ten miles away from Chang'an.

At that time, it was struck by thunder from the sky, a fire broke out, and it was burned to ashes. The ministers in the court said that the incident was unknown, and blamed Jing Zhaoyin for transporting the monster into Beijing."

Li Lijun raised her eyebrows: "Struck by lightning? Although I am a hundred miles away from Chang'an, if there really was thunder falling from the sky outside Chang'an City, I would be able to see a little bit here. But I didn't see it.

?I haven’t heard of anything strange happening in Chang’an?”
