Chapter Ninety-Four: Two Letters
The next day, Lin Yanchao came to the house again, and the uncle also came, Fangya found Fang Jia, and the neighbors around him were Chinese, and he also asked the yamen to write the deed on behalf of him, and made the deed in public.
The matter of the house deed must be filed with the Yamen, but because the house was bought on the boundary of Min County, but Lin Yanchao and his hometown are from Houguan County, they must go to the government to go through the formalities here.
Lin Yanchao asked Fang Ya, the third uncle to take the post of Master Zhang of the government to do this, and after the officials of the government saw Master Zhang's post, the scribes who handled it did not dare to collect the money, and they did it very quickly, which was completely inconsistent with the style of the feudal bureaucracy.
This time, Fang Yacai was really convinced by Lin Yanchao, even the people in the government attached so much importance to this young man, what kind of background is this.
Lin Yanchao paid off the money, and the lady of the Wu family thanked her with a smile.
Fang Jia, the neighbor knew that one of Lin Yanchao's family was an official and the other was an official, so he also came to climb the relationship, and the uncle received several posts at the moment, all of which invited the uncle to dinner.
Uncle is also a face now, he knows that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and he is also following the rules at the moment, and after thanking him one by one, he also said to Fang Jia that he would set up a flowing water seat in the alley in a few days and invite the neighbors to have a meal.
After seeing off the guests, Lin Gaozhu also came back, and now the family is finally reunited, and they are happy.
Lin Gao was very satisfied after looking at the house, but the uncle said that there was a fly in the ointment, according to his intentions, he wanted to fill in the well in the courtyard, and then make a main hall in the courtyard, and build corridors on both sides to make the pattern of the front hall and the back hall.
But the uncle's bad idea was unanimously opposed by his family, so it was not passed.
There are four rooms in the courtyard, the room in the north of the main hall is assigned to the eldest uncle and aunt, and the room in the south of the main hall is for Lin Gao to live in, because Lin Gao lives in the yamen on weekdays, and it is also moved to Lin Yanchao on weekdays, Lin Yanshou is the study, as for the small building in the courtyard facing south in the north, the upstairs one is given to Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian, and the third uncle lives downstairs.
As for the two wings in the outer courtyard, one was used as a guest room, and the other was a place to live after inviting a servant.
After having a new home, Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian are very satisfied with this new residence.
Lin Yanchao likes to be quiet in the middle of nowhere, while Lin Qianqian likes to live upstairs with a good scenery and potted plants in the yard. \u000bBut although the two live in one room, because of the wedding, they still observe the etiquette, and sleep in separate beds, with a curtain in between.
After a busy day, everyone was tired, the two of them were lying on the bed, chatting through the curtain, Lin Qianqian's excitement was undiminished, and he said to Lin Yanchao one by one, what to buy, what to add, such as furniture, fabrics, pots and pans, candlesticks, bed tents, etc., and worked hard to plan his home with Lin Yanchao.
The wind from upstairs penetrated through the cracks in the windows, and it was exceptionally fresh. The rustling sound of the wind, and Lin Qian's soft words, Lin Yanchao could only gently agree with it, but his heart was very quiet.
Women, the country and the city, the famous and noble ladies are just like that, they can be seen, but they don't necessarily can't get there. I'm just a mortal, I'm not good at falling in love, and I'm too lazy to bother chasing women, but if a woman treats herself wholeheartedly, he will make her very happy, well, that's probably what he is.
Lin Qianqian's voice became more and more tired, and he was also sleepy, and Lin Yanchao also closed his eyes and quietly listened to the wind outside the window.
Two days later, Lin Yanchao came to his house with an uninvited guest.
"Brother Chen? What wind is blowing you here? Lin Yanchao was a little surprised.
Chen Xinggui laughed and said: "Brother Lin, don't blame me for being well-informed, my Chen family still has some power in the city, well, this house is good, and it is quiet in the middle of the noise!" β
Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "It's just a house." β
Chen Xinggui looked around and said, "Brother Yanchao, I am here to congratulate you on your housewarming, and secondly, to tell you the news that the academy is suspended." β
"The academy is closed?" Lin Yanchao said in his heart, this is not good news.
Chen Xinggui said: "Yes, the Japanese invaders attacked Lianjiang again this time, and the academy was damaged a little, and if the academy wants to open, it must be rebuilt." What's more, I don't know when this widow will come back, and it is estimated that there will be no way to start classes in half a year. β
Lin Yanchao hurriedly asked, "That mountain chief, are you okay with your classmates?" β
Chen Xinggui said with a smile: "Brother Yanchao, you are really a kind person, you can rest assured, before the Japanese came, the people of Lianjiang had already gone empty." Now that it is less than a year before the county exam, even if he can't go to the academy, Brother Yanchao has plans to study. β
Lin Yanchao thought for a while and said, "This is not yet, what about Brother Chen?" β
Chen Xinggui said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Yanchao, I am ready to take advantage of the suspension of classes in the academy and study hard behind closed doors." Houguan's Weng Zhengchun doesn't know Brother Yanchao, have you heard of it? He locked himself up on the island of Jinshan Temple to study alone, and I can't wait for this kind of perseverance. β
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Yes, this person's perseverance is beyond my generation." β
Next, Chen Xinggui chatted with Lin Yanchao for a while and then left, leaving Lin Yanchao with the address, saying that he could go to his house to find him at any time.
After Chen Xinggui left, Lin Yanchao was also thinking that it was really necessary to study hard behind closed doors, and he took the county test in less than a year. This period of the Japanese Kou incident stirred up a lot of distractions, and he should make up for it with hard study.
Lin Yanchao was picking up a book and wanted to read, when he heard a bang, and the uncle said, "Is Yanchao at home?" Is Yanchao at home? β
Lin Yanchao was suddenly annoyed, could he still read quietly.
With the sound of footsteps, the uncle stepped upstairs, holding two letters in his hands, and gasped for breath to Lin Yanchao: "Look at who sent these letters, Yanchao, it's like a dream." β
Lin Yanchao said slowly: "Uncle, you are also a figure with a head and a face in the yamen, and you must be calm in case of major events." β
After Lin Yanchao took the uncle's letter and looked at it, he thought to himself that it was no wonder that the uncle was so surprised.
There are two letters, the first letter was sent by the Lin family in Lianpu, Lin Yanchao thought it was Lin Shisheng, Lin Shibi's two brothers, or his teacher Lin Chengyi.
As a result, I didn't expect that the person who paid the money was Lin Yan.
Who is Linhydrocarbon? Today's younger brother of Lin Xian, a scholar of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 41 years, the same list of the champion Shen Shixing, and a regular scholar of the Hanlin Academy.
But I heard a while ago that when he was serving as the governor of Taiping Prefecture, he offended Zhang Juzheng.
At that time, Zhang Juzheng welcomed his mother into Beijing, and all the officials along the way were stammering, only Lin Yan said to his subordinate officials, asking me to loot the people's fat and people's ointment to curry favor with the powerful, but I couldn't do it.
After offending Zhang Juzheng, Lin Yan resigned and went home. That was last year. It was spread in the academy, and the classmates admired Lin Yan's integrity, but some people thought that he was selling his name and selling his name.
Originally, a prefect who offended Zhang Juzheng and resigned, a regular member of the Hanlin Academy, was incompatible with Lin Yanchao, but in the letter, he asked Lin Yanchao how he was reviewing the scriptures? If you are free, let Lin Yanchao go to the Lin Mansion in Wenrufang to meet him.
This really shocked the uncle, a prefect came to ask Lin Yanchao what he was doing with his studies, which was absolutely wrong. But the person who came to deliver the letter insisted that there was no mistake.
Uncle came back in disbelief, wanting to find out something from Lin Yanchao's mouth.
Lin Yanchao actually guessed eight or nine. In history, there are eight Jinshi and five Shangshu of the Lin family in Lianpu, and now there are eight Jinshi, but there are only four Shangshu, so the future career of this Lin prefect is needless to say.
Don't look at him offending Zhang Juzheng now, and he will resign from the office, which seems to be quite miserable, but the resignation of officials in the Ming Dynasty is like playing, today is a bad old man who is idle at home, and tomorrow he will be reinstated to the old man. For example, the current Zhang Juzheng, like a thief, put the former Shoufu Gao Gong of Zhishi at home.
Moreover, in the Wanli Dynasty, all the officials who opposed Zhang Juzheng during his reign were reused one by one after Wanli liquidated Zhang Juzheng.
The first letter shocked the uncle, but the second letter directly shocked the uncle to the point that his urine was dripping.
The payee is Yu Dayou, the chief soldier of the Fujian town guard.
The letter is written concisely, little brother, come to the General Soldier's Mansion and invite you to drink.
\"I don't understand, I don't understand." Yanchao, how do you know so many big people! \"
Lin Yanchao said lightly: "It's nothing, these two people, one is my teacher, and the other is gracious." \"
When the uncle heard this, he suddenly couldn't understand it even more.
Lin Yanchao smiled incomprehensibly.
\"So what are you going to do?" \"
\"This Yu Dashuai, I didn't help him to repay his kindness, but I wanted to do something for the people, as for him to thank me, there is no need, just write a letter to reply to him." \"
How does this sound a bit fake, forget it, I really didn't think about it, how am I the kind of person who will go by when others are called, this score must be placed.
The uncle was speechless when he heard this.
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "But the teacher, I still have to go and see it in person." \"
After all, I still have to ask him to teach, since the academy is closed, he is his protΓ©gΓ© anyway, so he honestly studies under his door and prepares for the county test.
