The days just went by slowly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this day, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the customs of Fujian on this day, every household inserts Ai in the door, and drinks calamus wine to remove insects, and every household gives each other zongzi.

The uncle went home from the yamen early, and Yanshou also returned home from the academy, as for the third uncle and three aunts, they just closed the silver shop early, and the family went home for the holidays.

The eldest mother, the third aunt, and the three women wrapped the zongzi in the hall, while the rough mother-in-law was busy in the kitchen, cooking a plate of dishes and serving them out.

Soon the family went to the table for dinner, Lin Gao was in good spirits, and opened a three-year-old altar of green and red at the moment.

The family gathered around the dinner table to eat and chat

Lin Gao peeled the zongzi and asked Lin Yanchao, "Your husband heard that he is going to Jingshi to be imprisoned." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, I will leave the day after tomorrow, and the child will send it off when the time comes." ”

Lin Gao said: "Yes, but your teacher, there must be more places to use silver when you go to Jingshi, it is good to be at home for a hundred days, but it is difficult to be outside for a hundred days, you took twenty taels of silver for your husband to spare on the road." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Grandpa, Mr. Cheng Yi, the child has already been prepared. ”

Lin Gaozhu shook his head and said, "What's yours is yours, this is a little bit of my heart, let your husband accept it." ”

Lin Yanchao said immediately: "Yes." ”

He originally prepared thirty taels of silver for Lin Chengyi, plus the twenty taels given by Lin Gao. It is probably enough for Lin Chengyi to buy a house in Beijing, of course, provided that the current housing prices in Beijing are not so outrageous.

Uncle smiled and said: "Yanchao, you send your teacher, and you are about to enter Beijing to take the exam, and the whole family is counting on you." ”

The third uncle hurriedly said: "Don't say this to Yanchao, I heard that several masters in the county said that they should take the entrance examination in Beijing." Almost one out of ten people will be in the meeting. Yanchao, you are relieved first. You can also be an official. ”

The uncle took a sip of warm green red and said, "Third brother, what you say, are we Yanchao ordinary people?" He is a dignified Jieyuan, and it is useless to be an official, so he is not as good as a jinshi. ”

The third uncle also took a sip of wine and said, "Big brother, your vision is too high. I heard from the Cheng Yuan, raise people to be officials, let them go, any teaching, if you have a way, you can also mix in a county. ”

Lin Gao said: "Don't say it, listen to what Chao Yu himself says." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "Xie Yuan doesn't necessarily have to be a jinshi, but I'm still young, even if I fail in the exam, I can take a step back and enter the national prison first, so as to wait for the next exam." The court will also give me a lesson. What the third uncle said is also that if you want to be an official, you should go to the ministry to report to see if you can fill the vacancy and become an official, but you can't go to the meeting to try. ”

Hearing Lin Yanchao say this, the whole family immediately said in unison: "If you can be a jinshi, you can still be a jinshi, it's a big deal, it's a three-year delay." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled when he heard this. He can understand the mood of his family, and there are not many people who are in a hurry to become an official as soon as they are raised. In my memory, it seems that except for Zuo Zongtang, there is no precedent for being a high-ranking official.

Speaking of Zuo Zongtang, he is also a god, even if he lifts people, he is still a son-in-law.

"Then let's do it!"

Seeing Lin Yanchao's agreement, the whole family was relieved. At present, the topic turned to Lin Yanshou, and when it came to next year's children's test, he couldn't help but encourage a few words.

Lin Yanshou continued to say unashamedly: "Hmph, what is this, my teacher said that my time has come." I will definitely go to school next year, so let's wait. ”

The crowd couldn't bear to blow his confidence and said, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Everyone doesn't know how many times they've heard this, except for the uncle and the aunt, no one will take it seriously.

Lin Yanshou continued to look forward to the day when he went to school and said: "When the time comes, after I enter school and become a student, I don't want a big-footed woman, I must find a small-footed woman in the city to be a mother-in-law." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yanshou was triumphant.

As we all know, Lin is shallow and does not have a foot wrap.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh, his cousin, he really didn't forget to compare himself with himself, and the spirit of finding confidence in others all the time is really admirable.

The eldest lady couldn't help but move her chopsticks and hit Lin Yanshou on the head.

Lin Yanshou said aggrievedly: "Mother, why are you beating me?" ”

The eldest lady said angrily: "Bigfoot woman, what's wrong, your mother is a bigfoot woman." ”

"Auntie is right!" The third aunt applauded on the side, because she didn't wrap her feet either. Therefore, it was the first time she saw the eldest lady so pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that the eldest mother was angry, the uncle hurriedly persuaded: "Forget it, forget it, it's the Dragon Boat Festival today, don't make any noise." ”

The eldest lady glared at the uncle and said, "What's wrong with you, do you also think that the small-footed women in the city are better?" ”

"I didn't."

"None? The daughter of the Chen family in the east, when you got off the sedan chair at the entrance of the alley that day, did you keep staring at the feet of the eldest daughter? ”

"I didn't, I didn't see it that day, I saw it in her clothes." Uncle hurriedly explained.

"Then you still say you haven't seen it? Obviously, I just watched it. ”

Uncle: "I ......"

It's the daily life of husband and wife in the family again, but Lin Yanchao is used to it, but he feels a pain in his leg, but when he saw Lin Qianqian, he pinched himself and snorted softly.

Well, after laughing at others, it's your turn to explain.

A few days later. There were two guests from the Lin Mansion, who Lin Yanchao didn't expect.

'Brother Liu? Brother Huang? Lin Yanchao said.

Huang Kezhang arched his hand and said, "Brother Lin, please forgive me for being presumptuous. ‘

And Liu Tinglan gave it up at will.

Huang Kezhang stepped forward and said: "Xie Yuanlang, we are here to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and we have something to ask for!" ‘

Lin Yanchao said: "Two young brothers, how dare you do it below. ‘

Lin Yanchao thought that he was not familiar with the two of them on weekdays, but when he suddenly came to the door, he would be embarrassed.

Huang Kezhang said: 'We are here to learn from Taoti. ‘

Lin Yanchao asked, 'How is Taoti learning?' ‘

Huang Kezhang was surprised and said, "Brother Lin doesn't know? ‘

Lin Yanchao said: "Recently, I have been reading and lecturing, but I really don't know about it. ‘

Huang Kezhang sighed and said, "It turns out that Brother Lin doesn't know, and now Tao Tixue is in prison. ‘

Lin Yanchao said: "Let's talk about it carefully. ‘

Huang Kezhang said: "I also learned a few days ago that Tao Tixue has been taken down by Jinyiwei and is ready to go to the prison of Zhenfu Si. ‘

Lin Yanchao said: "The great master, the first provincial scholar and politician, usually respects himself with the Tao, and promotes good talents, why was he imprisoned by the imperial court? ‘

Liu Tinglan snorted, slapped his palm on the table and said, "It's not that some imperial envoys in the court are nitpicking, picking bones in eggs. ‘

'The two of us are usually blessed by Tao Ti Xue, and respect him as a person, hum, Xie Yuanlang, you are also a disciple of Tao Ti Xue, and the teacher is in prison, don't you help? ‘

Lin Yanchao didn't like others to buckle his big hat, and said lightly: "If you want to help, you must first explain the ins and outs." How can a husband not ask whether he is right or wrong? ‘

Liu Tinglan sneered: "I know that you are a person who is not good at asking for money. ‘

Huang Kezhang hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Liu, Brother Lin, don't quarrel, this matter is so. (To be continued.) )
