Chapter 80: The Uncle Seeks Officials (Second Update)
What a teenager who hasn't played the guess who I am.
Lin Yanchao remembered that he grew up with Lin Qianqian when he was a child, and the two often played together like this.
Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums. Living together for a long time, the two have no suspicion.
Riding bamboo horses, fighting grass, and playing with crickets, although they are the memories of their own bodies when they have not yet crossed, they have emerged in their minds one by one. Who said that child daughter-in-law is an evil feudal system, which not only gives him a childhood sweetheart, but also ensures that his first love can enter the grave of love.
Thinking of his first love who was abused as a dog in his previous life, Lin Yanchao grabbed Lin Qianqian's hand.
The two looked at each other, and Lin Yanchao said with evil thoughts: "Let my uncle see how much little Lori has grown up." Well, it seems to have grown a little taller, well, somewhere, it's a little taller. ”
Yes, yes, there is a little bit of a taste of cultivation.
Lin Qianqian looked embarrassed and anxious for Lin Yanchao, and said, "Don't look at it anymore." ”
Lin Yanchao grinned, under the coarse cloth and hairpin, Lin Qianqian still had bright eyes and bright teeth, and he was smiling.
"What uncle did you just say, you're not my elder, what else is a little Lori? Is it a type of jasmine? Lin Qianqian kept asking.
Lin Yanchao couldn't help laughing, and the malice in it was even stronger.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family lived in harmony, and after that experience, the eldest lady did not dare to bully people at every turn, and Lin Qian's life was much more comfortable. Since Lin Qianqian is no longer bullied, Lin Yanchao is finally not as disgusted with his sister-in-law as before. In fact, before the crossing, in the final analysis, the conflicts in the family were all caused by lack of money, not that there is a saying that the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the family is poor and sad.
In Fujian, where the style of study is very strong, it is common for the whole family to provide a reader. But it is basically impossible for an ordinary person's family to provide for two scholars.
Lin Yanchao and Lin Yanshou, in order to allocate resources at home, the eldest mother and Lin Qianqian have not been at war in recent years. Who doesn't want to be quiet, be safe, and be a quiet beautiful girl, so Lin Yanchao also knows that Lin Qianqian's spicy and money-loving temperament is forced.
Now that Lin Gao is an official, not only does the family not have to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt, but also supplies Lin Yanchao, and Lin Yanshou is not a busy student. Immediately, the family was harmonious, in fact, the principle of the Qi family, extending to the governance of the country, is the same.
In the middle of the first month, Lin Yanchao was also comfortable to have a holiday reunion with his family, and then he was ready to be busy with New Year's greetings.
Lin Yanchao first went to the city, Master Shen of the Houguan County Ya, his teacher Hu Tixue, and Mr. Xu all wanted to visit him one by one.
Before leaving, the uncle suddenly stopped Lin Yanchao and said that he wanted to go together. Lin Yanchao understood what his uncle meant, and he had been counting on Lin Yanchao to help him find an errand in the county office.
Uncle has mentioned this matter several times, and it is the uncle's lifelong pursuit to enter the yamen and be an official who oppresses good people. Since it was requested by the elders of the family, Lin Yanchao agreed.
This time into the city, Lin Yanchao went to Hongtang Town to ask for a boat, the boatman heard that it was the son and grandson of the ambassador of Hebo, how dare not ask for money, and finally Lin Yanchao said that he asked for 20 yuan for the ship. Thinking of the first time I went to the city to fight a lawsuit, because the family couldn't afford to pay for the boat, the family walked into the city, but this time there was a means of transportation.
The boat is the most common duck mother ship, Uncle and Lin Yanchao stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the scenery, this time there was not so much freshness in the city.
The boat passes through the West Lake in the west of the city and enters the city near the West Water Pass next to the West Gate. When he got close to Shuiguan, the uncle patted Lin Yanchao on the shoulder and said, "Yanchao, have you seen the castle tower on the mountain?" ”
Lin Yanchao looked at the uncle's fingers, nodded and said, "I see." ”
Uncle said: "This is the North City Tower on Ping Mountain, Hong Wuye built at that time, it is the sample building of the city gate building, because the terrain is the highest, when the sea ship enters the city at night, it is determined by this city tower." "Uncle is showing off his knowledge in front of him whenever he has the opportunity, but Lin Yanchao still likes to listen.
The boat entered the city from the water gate, twisted and turned, and lingered in front of and behind the houses. After going ashore, the uncle and nephew had a dispute, and the uncle said that he would go to the Houguan County Government to visit first, but Lin Yanchao said that he would go to learn the Tao first.
After arguing, the uncle still followed Lin Yanchao's meaning and went to learn the Tao first.
At this time, the ancients did not have the artifact of mass text messages in later generations, and the officials and nobles also had their own rules for greeting each other.
During the New Year's gifts, many dignitaries and dignitaries could not visit the New Year one by one, so they sent a servant from the family to the homes of acquaintances to post one by one, which is called flying stickers. Then the dignitaries themselves did not want to see guests, so they pasted a red paper bag in front of their house, on which was written to receive blessings, that is, to bear the flying stickers.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the New Year's Eve is full of empty cars on the streets, and there is no one to be seen, this is the custom of the Chinese people who are not too simple.
Lin Yanchao went to Tixue Dao to post it, and asked and learned that Hu Tixue went out and went to pay New Year's greetings to Lord Futai.
This is also reasonable, even if Hu Ti learns, he will not see himself. Lin Yanchao put down the post immediately, and this ceremony has arrived. Then Lin Yanchao asked Mr. Xu if he was there, but Mr. Xu was, and then Lin Yanchao and the uncle entered the Yamen of Tixue Dao and saw Mr. Xu in the flower hall where they met for the first time.
Mr. Xu was very happy to see Lin Yanchao, and the two talked about it, and Lin Yanchao also knew that Hu Tixue's term of office was coming soon, and he was now thinking about promotion.
It is not like a magistrate who can stay in office, this is to prevent staying for a long time and being asked by others, so three years as an official is three years, which can be short, not long, and as soon as the three years pass, he will be covered and leave. After Hu Tixue left, the next student officer will preside over next year's college examination, which well eliminates the possibility of related households being taken care of.
Hu Tixue, the inspector of Fujian, has a good reputation, leaving a lover of Kaiyi, and a wide evaluation of teaching, which is regarded as leaving a clear name, not only is there a place for him in the famous eunuch temple, but he will definitely be promoted in the future.
Hearing Mr. Xu say this, Lin Yanchao thought to himself, although the name of the disciple of this province can only be borrowed for another year. But after Hu Tixue is promoted in the future, he still has hope to continue to hug his thighs, if one day, he can be a court official in the six departments of Liangjing, Lin Yanchao will be developed.
Mr. Xu's relationship still has to be kept, Lin Yanchao chatted for a while, and then left after giving gifts.
After Lin Yanchao came to the Houguan County Ya, the uncle had already straightened his chest and stomach. Lin Yanchao took a closer look, hey, how could the uncle's clothes be so clean, and the upper of the shoes had also been washed, it seemed that he was really prepared today.
Lin Yanchao was secretly amused, looked at the uncle's eager look and said, "Uncle, my friendship with Master Shen is also average, I can introduce you to you, but whether the thing can be done or not, let's talk about it." ”
Uncle said with a smile: "Don't worry, this time Uncle can take out all the family funds, don't think about it, that's my uncle's own money, your aunt also used several kinds of dowry jewelry at the bottom of the box, and your grandfather also borrowed some from me, almost twenty taels, almost a good errand in the sixth room of the county government." ”
"Twenty taels!" Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be speechless, although Lin Gaozhu had a good income in Hebo in the past few months, the Lin family was not so rich that he casually took out ten taels of silver. Twenty taels of silver is equivalent to the expenses of the seven members of the Lin family for two years.
"Twenty taels, it's not expensive at all, this is still a bad time, if the head of the six-room scribe in the past must be thirty or forty taels."
"Uncle, the third uncle is still counting on marrying a daughter-in-law after the New Year? Is that good? ”
"Chaoyu, you are still too tender, I don't know the truth that you can't give up a little money and make a lot of money, this is the rule in the yamen, as long as your uncle becomes a clerk in the future, you will be able to return to your capital immediately." Next year, I will definitely persuade my father to marry your third uncle's daughter-in-law. ”
"You little child, how can you talk old-fashioned, but instead teach you a lesson Uncle I came. Don't talk for a while, don't understand the rules in this yamen, don't offend the nobles, everything is up to me, watch me sit down, you just sat down, understand? "Uncle taught Lin Yanchao another way of human feelings.
Lin Yanchao thought that if it weren't for this person being his uncle, he would immediately scold 'you play away', and then throw his face and leave.
