Lin Mansion, in the middle hall, stands a plaque of 'Elder on the Stage'. The coming to power refers to the three princes and three divisions, and the elders who came to power here refer to Lin Han, the former secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, who posthumously presented the crown prince Taibao to the imperial court.

This plaque was given to Lin Han, who was at home by the political envoy of Fujian, and it was very precious.

In the hall, Lin Quan was crying in front of Lin Tingji and Lin Hydrocarbon.

Lin Tingji smiled slightly, and said to Lin Quan: "On weekdays, you are proud of your talents, and you don't take others in your eyes, but this time when you meet someone smarter than you, you know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world!" ”

Lin Quan said with a crying voice: "Grandpa, I don't believe it, there are really people in the world who can recite with eyes. ”

"It's not that no, I've seen a few." Lin Ting machine road.

"You mean it."

Lin Tingji said: "Even if there is one Zhang Jiangling today, I have seen a few people in the Hanlin Academy. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Tingji pinched his beard and said to Lin Yan: "Well, you have a good disciple, so it was Zhang Song's old plan to bluff Quan'er." ”

Lin Yan said: "Quan'er is conceited and talented, and it is good to eat a trench and grow wise, so as not to take the old road of the world." ”

Lin Tingji said with a smile: "Don't talk about Shibi, Shibi is not what it used to be, he has already been studying with his heart, he has stayed at home this year, and he has not even gone to the same case of poetry and literature to travel back then, and he is wholeheartedly preparing for next year's township move." ”

Lin Yan said: "If Shibi can really work hard, there is great hope for the township test, which is really the luck of the family." Therefore, Quan'er, you should learn from your cousin's shame and bravery, he also lost a bet with me in the first place. ”

Lin Quan was also surprised when he heard that Lin Shibi also lost to Lin Yanchao, he admired this cousin's poetry the most, thinking that even if he was not an official, he would be a figure like Tang Yin. Unexpectedly, his cousin was also defeated.

Lin Quan could only feel ashamed of himself when he heard this, and retreated stupidly. At the same time, after making up his mind, when he saw Lin Yanchao, he took a detour.

Lin Tingji said: "There are talented people in the country, I heard that your disciple, although his talent is outstanding, but he was born too late, and he has only been studying for more than a year, so he reluctantly went to this county examination." Even if it's over, I'm afraid the next government test will be a little difficult! ”

Lin Yan said: "He is only fourteen years old this year, even if he fails the government exam, it is nothing, so he should be experienced." ”

Lin Tingji said with a smile: "You were twenty-one years old, and a year later you went to Beijing to become a jinshi, and after the palace, you entered the Hanlin Academy as a common man, of course you don't feel like you have a good career." But for others. But it's been a few years of hard work. ”

Father and son spoke again.

Lin Tingji said suddenly: "Now that your mourning period is about to expire, Shen Shilang from the Ministry of Officials has written to me, saying that he is going to ask you to be appointed as the prefect of Suzhou, he has good intentions, do you go or not?" ”

Lin Yan sighed: "Brother Shen Nian can't bear to let me bury the countryside." I've figured it out this year, and I'm no longer stubborn, but I don't know what about my brother? ”

"I'm afraid it's not so easy for him, and now the right deputy is the imperial history. When I was a student in Nanjian, I brought up your brother. But that Zhang Taiyue said, now that Taiwan Province is full of talents, and it will be discussed when it is empty. Lin Tingji said.

Lin Yan said coldly: "This Taiyue is clearly a pretext, not to let my brother be reinstated, and to take revenge for personal gain!" The elder brother is a second-class member, and there are so many protégés. Isn't there anyone who speaks out unkindly? ”

Lin Tingji glanced at him and said, "Voice? Who would dare? That's the first time! ”

Lin Yan lowered his head and said unevenly: "My brother is in the spring and autumn season, but he wastes time at home and can't show his ambitions, what's the use of me going to be the prefect of Suzhou?" ”

On his fingers, Lin Yanchao went to the Lin Mansion to write more than a dozen times. More than half of March has passed.

Lin Yanchao was caught in a naval battle and was exhausted.

Every day when he returned home from Lin Mansion, Lin Yanchao smashed his head on the pillow and fell asleep immediately, with a very good quality of sleep, and slept until the next morning. If Lin Qianqian didn't come to wake up and study, Lin Yanchao would be able to sleep until three strokes in the sun.

After reading the book, I went to the Lin Mansion to write the questions the next day, and there was basically no change.

The difference is that Lin Quan, the son of the Lin Mansion, did not dare to come to find trouble with him, and provoked, when writing the scroll, the two occasionally met their eyes, and Lin Quan immediately dodged away. This scene is like a little girl who is just beginning to fall in love, seeing the man she likes.

There is also Lin Yanchao's article. This year, Lin Yanchao read those ancient texts, and memorized countless Cheng texts, and the accumulation was almost enough. When he could write to Lin Yanchao, he was restricted by the eight-strand format, he was very knowledgeable, and he was able to achieve three or four things, but now after this elevated training, he will write the meaning in his chest more smoothly on the paper.

This process of studying and seeking knowledge, although it is very bitter for Lin Yanchao, has no distractions, and he is purely dedicated to one thing, but it can also give people a new understanding. At the end of writing, when Lin Yanchao wrote a beautiful article, he looked back and couldn't believe that he wrote this article by himself.

Although Lin Yan didn't say anything after reading his article at the time, he was very satisfied. At this moment, Lin Yanchao knew that he was in the same craft, and finally made a small achievement.

On this day, the smoke and rain outside the small building were dashing.

Lin Yanchao rested at home, after writing an article with high intensity yesterday. Lin Yanchao decided not to read for a while, but to slow down, change his mind, and copy the copybook. The county test and the government test are not honored, so the quality of the words can give the examiner the first impression, and you must know that the proportion of the paper score is still very large.

Lin Yanchao picked up the pen and wrote quietly, when there was a knock on the door from the outer courtyard.

Lin Yanchao didn't move, now Zhanming is camping in the outer courtyard, and the matter of opening the door is of course up to him.

The door opened, but I heard a voice coming, and I ...... I...... I'm looking for Brother Lin.

"Who are you?" Zhan Ming's hoarse voice rang out.

"In ...... In the bottom, Huang Biyou. ”

Lin Yanchao put down his pen, poked his head out of the window and said loudly to the outer courtyard: "No need to report, let him in!" ”

Soon Huang Biyou came to Lin Yanchao's small building from the outer courtyard, and said with palpitations: "Brother Lin, why did you invite such a fierce subordinate?" What to do if you scare people away? ”

Lin Yanchao said: "He is not from my family, why is Brother Huang here?" ”

Huang Biyou rolled up his sleeves and said, "What do you mean?" Yanchao, you and I are the same cases in the county test, don't you think it's a shame when you say that? ”

Lin Yanchao put down his pen and said with a smile; "Brother Huang, you and I are both classmates and co-defendants, and our friendship is not ordinary.

Huang Biyou laughed and said, "That's what I said." Yesterday, the government government issued a document, saying that the government test is scheduled for the 26th of next month, let us go to the county government room to get the documents, and then go to the government office to register. I'm here to make an appointment with you. ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "This is easy to do." It's just that I heard that the government test wants two endowment guarantors, have you looked for it? ”

Huang Biyou said with a smile: "I'm here to talk to Brother Lin about this, this is what it looks like, Yanchao's guarantor during your county exam is a teacher in social studies, right!" ”

"yes, how's it going?" Lin Yanchao asked.

Huang Biyou smiled and said: "The guarantor of my county test is my clan uncle, see if you can let your Meng Shi also come to be my guarantor, in exchange, my clan uncle will be your guarantor." You and I are both the same case and classmates, and we must trust each other, and so is our guarantor, so don't you have to look for another one? ”

Lin Yanchao gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Huang, if you are really far-sighted and thoughtful, just follow what you say." ”

Huang Biyou said with a smile: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, by the way, there is one more thing, this time for the government examination, the classmates of the academy also came to the provincial capital from all over the country. Everyone is in the same class, this time I haven't seen each other for a long time, everyone decided to conspire to get drunk before the house exam, you can't be absent from Yanchao!
