Chapter 19: Returning Home
In the afternoon, it was so hot that there was no wind in the social studies.
Since Lin Chengyi resigned from the school a few days ago, there has been less supervision, and all the schoolchildren have lost the energy to study seriously during the afternoon school in the past, and they all hide in the shade under the banyan tree in the backyard.
The weather was unbearable, and the schoolchildren simply did not want the dignity of the scholars, and stripped off the long-sleeved and long-gown student shirts, and directly wore the clothes and pants. The end of the tea is used to soak in water, and it can't stand a few people's cow drinks, it is already light and tasteless, but now everyone can only borrow tea to cool off, and it is better than nothing.
Fortunately, at this time, the longan tree at the entrance of the village was fruitful, and a few naughty schoolchildren secretly beat a rake and hung it several times. The schoolchildren ate to satisfy their hunger, and the longan cores that they spit out were accumulated and smashed into dogs, which was also very fun.
The schoolchildren were so hot and dry that they had no intention of studying.
And Lin Yanchao sat in the shade of the banyan tree, looking at the university chapter that Lin Chengyi gave him.
Lin Yanchao didn't need to speak, and his classmates brought a bowl of dried tea.
Knowing whether to listen to the call or not, it was very noisy, Lin Yanchao read the book, his mouth was also dry, he just picked up a big bowl of tea, drank a few big sips, spit out the tea residue, and breathed a long sigh of relief, but felt that the heat had subsided a little.
A bowl of tea has gone to most of the bowl, and someone immediately filled it, and the people on the side, seeing that Lin Yanchao was free, immediately came over with a thousand-character text to ask for advice.
After answering the questions, several classmates who were listening on the side looked at their eyes, but they became more and more respectful. As soon as Lin Chengyi left, he almost became half of the division in social studies, compared to Zhang Guihe, who looked down on others at every turn, and his classmates liked to ask the approachable Lin Yanchao for advice.
Speaking of the division commander, Lin Yanchao thought of Lin Chengyi.
Next month, this teacher will take the hospital test, whether it is Chinese or not, Lin Yanchao expects that it will be a top ten thing. After all, he is already Hu Tixue's agreed protégé, and according to the unspoken rules of this officialdom, Lin Chengyi should not have any difficulty in Chinese.
When it comes to agreeing on a protégé, as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to mix in the system, the relationship and context should not be ignored.
Among the teachers and students, the seat teacher is the most important, and the seat teacher is the leader of the protégé officialdom, if Hu Tixue abbot takes the college examination, all the students who are admitted are Hu Tixue's protégés. The agreed protégé has not yet taken the exam, but the two have already decided on the teacher-student relationship first.
And in the college examination, one is not vague, the other is not honored, whether to hire depends on the examiner's own likes and dislikes, when Hu Tixue changed to Lin Chengyi's volume, just take a look at his name, as long as the article is not too outrageous, the following is a formality.
Similarly, Lin Yanchao is now also half of Hu Tixue's protégé, but he must also pass the county exam and the government exam first. Speaking of the county test, it is the first pass of the third pass, and it is controlled by the county order of the county, Lin Yanchao thought of the Zhou Zhixian with a black face and a mean person. Such a character, if you want to get through the joints, don't think about it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao put down the tea bowl and was about to continue to work hard, when someone outside said: "Yanchao!" ”
Lin Yanchao got up and looked, it was Zhang Zongjia, and he said with a smile: "I tell you a good news, the matter of the Martyrs' Shrine has been completed." ”
Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.
Zhang Zongjia said with a smile: "It was the inspector who took care of it personally, and the county government didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't want us to make money, so he did it smoothly." I happened to have an old relationship with the county government room, so I asked someone to inquire about it, and the documents for issuing preferential exemptions and miscellaneous labor were also sent to me. ”
Lin Yanchao still accepted Mr. Zhang's affection very much, and immediately accepted the document and said: "There is still Mr. Lao, I don't know how to thank you." ”
Zhang Zongjia smiled and said: "Where, where, thank you, don't forget to bring it in the future, my unsuccessful son is." ”
When Mr. Zhang said this, Zhang Haoyuan suddenly lost face. Lin Yanchao said: "General A, Brother Haoyuan is only good at learning, and I only have a day of strength in the thousand-character text, but I can help each other with Brother Haoyuan in the future." ”
Listening to Lin Yanchao say this, Mr. Zhang and Zhang Haoyuan are both very useful. Zhang Zongjia continued to say to his son: "Look at other people's Yanchao, how measured you are, you have to learn more." ”
Zhang Haoyuan lowered his head helplessly again, and Lin Yanchao couldn't say anything more. Mr. Zhang smiled and praised Lin Yanchao for a while, and then left.
After getting the documents for preferential exemption from forced labor, Lin Yanchao had confidence in his heart, and when the time came, the eldest mother's mother, Xie Lichang, would take some miscellaneous forced labor to apportion, and their Lin family would not be afraid. He took precautions before, just to prevent the Xie family.
"Haoyuan, Zhongshu, I'm going to go home tomorrow to have a look." Lin Yanchao said.
Zhang Haoyuan said: "Don't, I just want to ask Brother Yanchao for the benefit of studying these days." ”
Hou Zhongshu said: "Yanchao, you are gone, who will play with me, no, who will accompany me to study." ”
Even Mr. Zhang, who walked to the corner of the door and eavesdropped, shook his head, after Lin Yanchao left, the perseverance of these schoolchildren to study would not be too long, and they would be lazy immediately.
But seeing that Lin Yanchao said with a straight face: "You still say this, study for yourself?" Or for people? Can't you read without me? ”
Hearing Lin Yanchao's fierce words, both of them were not easy to answer, Lin Yanchao's tone eased a little and said: "I am going to test for fame in the future, you are all my friends, I hope to go to the list with you, and become the same case in the future, wouldn't it be good." If there is a difference, I don't mind from the bottom of my heart, don't you mind from the bottom of your heart? ”
Hearing Lin Yanchao say this, Zhang Haoyuan and Hou Zhongshu were both solemn. Even Mr. Zhang praised in his heart, this son is really not an ordinary person, not only in front of Hu Tixue, he recommended his husband, but also did not forget to bring his classmates and friends, I asked Haoyuan to make friends with this kid, it seems that this move is the right move.
Zhang Haoyuan said with a look of shame: "Thank you, Brother Yanchao, for this point." ”
Hou Zhongshu said: "Brother Chao, what are you doing so fiercely, I just study hard." ”
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "That's good." ”
The next day, a few of the schoolchildren also left school and returned home to play, ready to wait for the new tutor to arrive. And Zhang Haoyuan and Hou Zhongshu were stimulated by Lin Yanchao's words, but they stayed in social studies and worked hard.
In the number room, Lin Yanchao packed his luggage, wrapped his clothes under the luggage in layers, the anointing oil used to light the lamp, and a few wolf pens, and then put the books he wanted to read into the book basket and packed them, and walked out of the door of social studies.
It was still early, and the villagers of Zhangcuo couldn't help but talk when they saw Lin Yanchao.
"Isn't this the Grand Master, the hand-picked prodigy?"
"Although I am young, my future is limitless. My boy studied with him, and he didn't learn a little bit from him. ”
Along the way, the villagers he met also greeted him, and Lin Yanchao also returned the favor.
When he walked to the entrance of the village, Lin Yanchao looked at the tall Jinshi archway for a long time. It's only been more than ten days, but my situation has been improving step by step.
More than ten miles of mountain roads, walking for more than an hour, when I was about to get home, the sun was already hanging high.
In front of the mountain, Lin Yanchao was crowded with dozens of women who were washing clothes with river water slurry, and the men were carrying water with their burdens, and it was not a few to wash the toilet by the water.
There is nothing hygienic about this, the old people all say that the water is self-clearing. The Tanjia fishermen outside the embankment still eat, live, and drown at the water's edge. Before they arrived at the entrance of the village, several dogs that had been raised in the village came out, and when they saw Lin Yanchao, they did not bark, but meekly whined.
It's still good to be in my hometown, Lin Yanchao is becoming more and more cordial, but this is not where he belongs. Hongshan Village is still too closed, the people smell each other's chickens and dogs, old and dead do not come and go, many people in the village have never been to the provincial capital more than ten miles away for their whole lives.
The news is not clear, and it is estimated that Lin Yanchao was appreciated by Hu Tixue for a few days, and it has not reached the village.
Lin Yanchao still greeted his fellow villagers and clansmen along the road, and the villagers all smiled and replied when they saw it: "Chaoyu, I'm back!" ”
"As I read the book, I became more and more polite."
"Go back quickly, your daughter-in-law is waiting for you."
Hearing this, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
When I came to the front of the two-story small building at home, I saw that inside the door, Lin Qianqian was feeding silkworms, holding a dustpan in one hand and taking out mulberry leaves from it with the other hand to feed silkworms. Lin Yanchao looked at it, the little Lori figure had grown slightly, and she was really getting more and more cute. Lin Qianqian turned around and put down the dustpan, just in time to see Lin Yanchao.
Lin Qianqian saw Lin Yanchao and rubbed his eyes, revealing a look of surprise and joy.
"Brother Chao." Lin Qianqian almost cried with joy.
Lin Yanchao was about to grow his arms and greet the embrace of little Lori, when suddenly Lin Qianqian's footsteps stopped, his joy froze, and he suddenly asked with a suspicious face: "Today is not the Synodic Day, why are you back?" ”
Lin Yanchao replied: "Qianqian, Mr. has already gone to the museum, and there is no teacher in the school, so I went home to see you." ”
Lin Qianqian said in disbelief: "Mr. is so decent, how can you go to the museum, could it be that you neglected your studies and fled back home, didn't you?" I've worked so hard for you to read, is it easy for me? ”
Lin Qianqian immediately turned to suspicion and questioning, Lin Yanchao laughed and said: "You don't know, this time I went to social school, and I won the appreciation of the inspector, and the inspector has already agreed, and the matter of letting our father enter the Martyrs' Shrine, the document of the yamen's preferential exemption from forced labor has also come down." ”
"The inspector is a literary star, where can he easily appreciate others." Lin Qianqian said.
"You don't believe I have paperwork?"
"It's really fake, take it and take a look."
Lin Yanchao shook his head, deliberately pretended to be angry, and took out the paperwork from the bookbasket. Lin Qianqian took the book, she can also roughly read and hyphenation, although she doesn't recognize several words on a document, but she still understands the gist.
"Brother Chao, it's true, you're finally out of the picture." Saying that, Lin Qianqian suddenly threw herself into Lin Yanchao's arms and cried loudly.
Lin Yanchao patted Lin Qianqian's soft shoulder and said: "Okay, shallow, the superintendent's appreciation is nothing, after I win the show, it's not too late for you to cry, cry all your tears now, and I will win the lifting of people again in the future, Jinshi, your tears will not be enough." ”
When Lin Qianqian heard this, he hammered Lin Yanchao's chest and said, "You will bury people." ”
"Lightly, I can't afford it, you've beaten you twice in three days."
Lin Qianqian smiled and put the paperwork in his eyelids, and seriously repeated it word by word, only then did he believe that it was true, and said happily: "That's good, hurry up and tell Uncle Sù and the third uncle about this good thing, they have been frowning for the servants sent by Xie Zongjia these days." ”
Lin Yanchao said with a slightly cold expression when he heard this: "What errand did Mr. Xie send to our family?" ”
