Chapter 42 The gentleman is the head of the case
As soon as August 15 passed, the weather soon cooled down, and the cold dew was about to arrive.
It's time for the geese to fly south and the chrysanthemums to show yellow.
The days of reading are also very fast, day by day.
Lin Yanchao spent his days studying social studies and studying with his classmates.
Every evening after school, he went to the old master to ask for scriptures, and he memorized the university chapters and verses well. After a few days, you will be able to read the Analects, and the Commentary on the Analects, which I bought in a bookstore, will come in handy.
Studying under the old master is not easier than Lin Chengyi, Lin Yanchao's current realm is too low, and he can't compare Lin Chengyi or the old master which is better, but as his own teacher, it is more than enough.
Lin Yanchao didn't dare to underestimate the old boy for a long time, no matter how he said it, he was also a person who passed the government examination, and every person who took a step forward in his career was worthy of his admiration. How can I be a Mengtong who is qualified to make irresponsible remarks.
While studying under the old master, Lin Yanchao was free, and sometimes he would go to Zhang Xiangmen to borrow books.
As a second-generation person, Zhang Xiang has always been arrogant and unwelcome in the village. But after Zhang Xiang saw Hu Tixue's appreciation of Lin Yanchao, he also had a blue eye for Lin Yanchao and opened the door to convenience.
It's just that after Lin Yanchao went to Zhang Xiang's study to take a look, he was disappointed. Most of his books were bought to decorate the faΓ§ade, and they were all kinds of ancient poetry books. This made Lin Yanchao, who was bent on borrowing some special exam-taking books, a little disappointed. At the moment, Lin Yanchao is thirsty for study, and he can't care about anything, so he will read the books that are a little useful.
Anyway, there is not a saying that books cannot be read unless they are borrowed, and if they don't read, they will waste Lin Yanchao's good memory. Others borrowed it for a few days to read, but Lin Yanchao endorsed it. It's a pity that I have read so many poetry collections and gnawed so many books, but the level of my own poetry has not improved, and it is still the level of limerick poetry.
Lin Yanchao is not blindly reading, and occasionally goes to the Minshui with Zhang Haoyuan and Hou Zhongshu to play in the water, casually touching shrimp and fishing.
On this day, they were playing on the water when a sound of help suddenly came from the other side of the river. Lin Yanchao looked up, but saw a small boat in the middle of the river, whirling in the rapids. A teenager on the boat barely supported the boat with a penny, and the girl sitting on the boat was already frightened.
"Quick, go and save people!"
Lin Yanchao said that he went into the water, and when he heard Lin Yanchao say this, Zhang Haoyuan and Hou Zhongshu, who were fishing for clams together, also followed.
The river was up and down, and Lin Yanchao plunged into the river, his arms paddling like oars. As a child who grew up by the river, his water nature is very good, and they often swim here, where there are whirlpools on the water, where there are rapids, know very well, saving people is just a gesture.
A wave came and knocked the boat over with a bang.
Lin Yanchao's heart tightened, but after seeing that the boat sank for a while, the man and woman broke out of the water and shouted for help on the river. The man will be a little watery, and he will hold the girl, so that he can support it for a while.
"Oh no, cousin, my foot is hooked."
"What's wrong?"
"Damn, it's fishing nets."
The boy shouted, and the girl cried in a hurry.
At this critical moment, Lin Yanchao swam over. He swam to the girl's side, lifted her up, and swam to the other side. And Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan also dragged the boy out of the fishing net, rescued the boy, and the five of them swam back to the riverbank together.
Two teenagers, a man and a woman, vomited bitterness on the river beach. The girl fainted a little again, and Lin Yanchao picked up the girl's person.
A few men dressed in green clothes and dressed like servants came running from the riverbank.
"Young Master!"
"Miss!"
But listening to one person's sentence, rubbing his chest with the back of his hand, treating two young boys and girls, and colding Lin Yanchao and others aside.
Lin Yanchao glanced at them, thinking that if he could save these two people, he was still the son of a rich family.
After a while, a middle-aged woman, supported by two maids, came panting and cried: "My child! β
"Madam, don't worry, young master, it's okay!"
"Scared the hell out of me."
Zhang Haoyuan and Hou Zhongshu on the side could see that this family was either rich or expensive, otherwise there would not be so many subordinates. Hou Zhongshu squeezed Lin Yanchao's eyes, obviously glad that he had good luck this time, and what good was it to save people.
After a while, a man and a woman all recovered and threw themselves into the woman's arms, frightened.
An old servant on the side said to the woman, "Madam, it was these teenagers who saved the young lady. β
Hearing the old servant say this, the woman raised her eyes and looked at them. Zhang Haoyuan and Hou Zhongshu saw that this woman was full of nobility, and they were a little ashamed of themselves at the moment.
The woman smiled and said, "It's okay, a few young people have acted bravely to save my son and daughter, which is really benevolent." β
Listening to the woman's praise, Hou Zhongshu and the three of them all smiled.
The woman said: "Uncle Zhong, one person will reward them with a hundred dollars, a little heart." β
A hundred texts? The corners of Zhang Haoyuan and the others' mouths were upturned, and they finally understood who this woman was.
The little girl spoke up: "Mother, is my daughter's life only worth a hundred dollars?" β
The woman was stunned for a moment, she obviously doted on her daughter very much, and smiled: "It's okay, or my daughter is good-hearted, then you see how about letting them come to my Gong Mansion for a banquet in a few days and kowtow to your father!" β
Before Lin Yanchao could speak, Zhang Haoyuan sneered first: "Thank you Madame for your kindness, we can save people with just a few hands, Miss is already fine, forget it, as for kowtowing, hehe, forget it!" β
"I'm still a little arrogant, listening to you, I'm still a reader." The woman smiled without Zhang Haoyuan's offense at all.
The woman said calmly: "Since you are a scholar, have you heard of Tongxian Gong?" β
Lin Yanchao said in surprise on the side: "Madam, Tongxian Gong's ah!" β
"Exactly." The woman smiled firmly, his Gong family was also a famous family in the provincial capital, and it was expected that this young man would not know it. In the past, when he reported the name of the Gong's family, the villagers respected him.
"Please forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I have never heard of the name of Tongxian Gong." Lin Yanchao replied seriously.
Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan both laughed.
Hearing Lin Yanchao say this, the woman's face sank suddenly.
The young man who was saved by Hou Zhongshu on the side had already woken up and said: "Mother, they have the grace to save the child's life, and they need to thank him." β
The woman smiled softly and said, "Mother knows, don't speak, be careful of the wind." β
"Yes." The boy bowed his head.
Lin Yanchao can see clearly, Tongxian Gong's family, isn't it the mansion of the champion? The boys and girls are still grateful for their gratitude, but this woman seems to be a little dislike of having anything to do with them. In this case, don't go to the door with a shy face, but make people look down on you, and you still need self-esteem.
Hou Zhongshu said: "We also have good intentions to save people, since you say so, we will treat it as if nothing happened." β
"It's okay, I'll visit you another day to thank you!" The woman smiled, and had no intention of retaining it.
Suddenly, Zhang Songming ran from the shore and said happily: "What are you doing here?" Go back to the village quickly, sir, he won the first case in this hospital exam, enter the house to study, and make up for the doctor's disciples! β
Case first?
"Which gentleman?" Hou Zhongshu looked incredulous.
"Of course it's Mr. Lin!" Zhang Songming added.
"Mr. is a talented man, and he is still the head of the case!" After the three people present were shocked, they were all extremely surprised.
Zhang Haoyuan was so excited that he wiped his tears, and asked as if he couldn't believe it: "Songming, is it really fake?" β
"Where are there any fakes, the reporter is studying in social studies, and your father and Young Master Zhang are also here."
Zhang Haoyuan finally cried with joy, hugged Lin Yanchao and said, "Great, sir, he is a talent in the show, a talent in the show." Lin Yanchao smiled with satisfaction, calculated the time, it was a little slow, and he thought of the college exam in August, and the list would be released in September, and the efficiency of learning and doing things was too slow.
It's just a show, the important thing is the head of the case, the first place in the hospital examination will come to the township test, and there is a great chance of winning the test, as long as Lin Chengyi is not as bad luck as Pu Songling.
The woman also showed a look of astonishment, she stepped forward and smiled: "It turns out that your husband is the head of the academy examination, no wonder you have taught a few disciples to be righteous and brave." You go back and tell your husband, just say that we are the second master of the Gong Mansion and have an invitation, let him come to the mansion for a banquet, and you can also come, Uncle Zhong, give him a post of the master. β
The servant on the side said yes, and came up to hand the post respectfully.
Lin Yanchao wanted to shake his face, but after all, he had more than 30 years of experience, and he still didn't have a seizure. As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting smiling people, there are more snobbish people in the world, and there is no need to tear your face. Lin Yanchao said lightly: "Madam, saving people is within my duty, I will pass the post to Mr., and it depends on Mr. whether he will come to the door or not." β
This woman is also a clear-eyed person, she has a bad attitude, this young man has a mustard in his heart, but the other party still leaves a face when he speaks.
The woman smiled and said, "It's fine." β
Lin Yanchao turned around and wanted to leave.
"Thank you, Eun Gong for saving your life." The man and woman who saved him all came up to thank him.
