(Ask for collection.) If you have a small number of words, collect it and fatten it and then gnaw it. Thanks! ）

The sound of leakage in the quiet night came from afar, and the time was almost four watches, and the night was already very deep. Lin Jue put down the hand holding his cheek and shook it a few times to restore the circulation of blood. I've been sitting for too long, and my body is a little stiff. I've made a decision, and I'm feeling a lot more relaxed. The candle flame jumped slightly, and the candle burst with a crackle, and the light of the candle flame dimmed. Lin Jue picked up the candle scissors and stretched out to cut the wick, but the door was knocked gently.

"Second son, can Green Dance come in?" The sound of the green dance came from outside the door.

Lin Jue sighed, a smile appeared on his face, he got up and opened the door and lifted the bamboo curtain, only to see the sixteen-year-old maid Lu Wu holding a pot of tea and standing at the door sleepily.

"Why are you still bringing me tea at this time?" Lin Jue smiled.

The girl glanced at Lin Jue shyly, although her big charming eyes were tired, but a trace of heartfelt concern could still be seen on that delicate little face. This warmed Lin Jue's heart, and he recalled the warm pictures of his previous life. Although he didn't achieve anything in his previous life, Green Dance has always been by his side to take care of himself and gave him a lot of comfort. It's a pity that I couldn't protect her, and she suffered greatly. In this life, I must not allow that to happen.

"I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I saw that the light was still on in the second son's house. The second son is diligent in studying, and he can't stay up day and night. In the past three days, Childe seems to have lost his soul, and I am very worried. ”

Lu Wu's small body lightly bypassed Lin Jue's side, came to the desk with a teapot, and quickly poured a cup of tea into a teacup.

"This is herbal tea, I only put a few tea leaves, change the taste of water, and I won't drink it and can't fall asleep. The second son drinks some herbal tea and goes to sleep, okay? Green Dance looked up at Lin Jue and pleaded softly.

Lin Jue looked at her with some emotion, Green Dance was a little maid bought back for her by her late mother, and she grew up with her since she was a child. has a very gentle temper and takes very considerate care of herself, just looking at her makes Lin Jue feel very kind. Especially after the death of her mother, only this little maid was left by her side, and the two actually had some meaning of relying on each other.

Seeing Lin Jue looking at him stunned, Lu Wu said a little shyly: "Second son, it's better to go to bed early." Don't forget, early in the morning, Ming'er's family will convene the sons of the clan for court training. If you can't get back from a daze when you ask, you will be beaten and punished. ”

Lin Jue suddenly remembered that tomorrow is June 16. The sixteenth day of each month is the time when the head of the Lin family gathers his children to recite the family rules and family mottos, and it is also the time to punish the behavior of the children of the family in the past month. The children of the Lin family are not afraid of this day, because there are always people who are going to be unlucky today.

The person in charge of tomorrow's court training is Lin Boyong, the head of the family, he is the head of the big house, and he naturally becomes the head of the Lin family. According to his seniority, he is Lin Jue's eldest uncle. However, Lin Boyong strictly forbade his children to call him according to his seniority, and everyone must respectfully call him 'head of the family' when they see him, otherwise it will be a scolding. Thinking of that expressionless stern face, Lin Jue couldn't help frowning. I don't usually see him much, but he must be there on the day of the monthly court training.

"I see, I'll take a few sips of tea and go to sleep. Thank you. Lin Jue smiled.

"Second son...... You're welcome. "Green Dance is obviously a little unaccustomed to Lin Jue's politeness, the second son is a timid and wooden person, he has always been confused and confused, but he won't say anything like thank you, today is the first time in the world.

"Second son, it's okay, then I'll go out."

"Go ahead." Lin Jue nodded.

Green Dance walked quickly to the door with her head down, lifted the bamboo curtain and went out.

"Green Dance, slow down." Lin Jue suddenly said loudly.

"What? Second son, do you have any other instructions? Lu Wu lifted the curtain with one bare hand, turned to Lin Jue with a pretty face and asked suspiciously.

Lin Jue swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and said softly: "He...... Are they still harassing you? ”

Midori Wu's face turned red, and she lowered her head and shook her head violently, then slowly nodded.

Lin Jue walked over slowly, was silent for a moment, and whispered to the reddened cute ear in front of him: "From now on, if he dares to harass you again, you will tell him that I will not allow him to do this." You are my man, and he has no right to do so. ”

Lu Wu raised her head, her eyes full of surprise and looked at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue stared at Lu Wu's eyes and said, "From today on, they don't want to bully us, we are not easy to bully." Trust me, I'm not kidding. ”

Green Dance looked at Lin Jue in a daze, and suddenly nodded vigorously and said, "Green Dance...... Of course, I believe in the second son. ”

……

The next morning, before the mist cleared, Lin Jue got up early. When he went out and came to the small courtyard, he found that Green Dance had already gotten up. A square table has been set up under the porch, and a cup of tea has been brewed on the square table. Lu Wu was busy in the kitchen of the side room, and the smell of millet porridge came from the kitchen.

"Childe, you're up. The washing water has been ready, Childe washes first, and Green Dance combs your hair for a while. ”

Green Dance poked her head out of the kitchen and said, because of the hot weather, there were beads of sweat on her forehead, her face was also red, and a strand of hair was wet on her forehead.

Lin Jue nodded, took a few deep breaths, stretched his waist, and looked at the lush and vibrant flowers and trees in the yard, and his heart was very comfortable. Why didn't I feel that the small courtyard I lived in turned out to be neat and beautiful.

Lin Jue walked to the wooden shelf with a basin of water and finished washing, and walked to the kitchen door with his long hair scattered.

"Childe, don't stand here, don't get oil and gas." Seeing Lin Jue stretching out his head to look, Green Dance hurriedly waved his hand.

Lin Jue had no choice but to turn around and leave, sit on the chair next to the table under the porch, and drink the tea slowly. Soon after, Lu Wu came with a plate of oil cakes, a plate of side dishes and a bowl of millet porridge, and a few tuk-tuk tuks were made, and a breakfast was placed on the table.

"Childe, eat quickly, you eat, and Lu Wu will help you comb your hair without delaying your efforts. I will go to the vestibule at the hour to assemble, and it is better to go early than later. As she spoke, Lu Wu washed her hands in the copper basin next to her, pulled out a comb from the belt around her waist, and began to comb Lin Jue's messy hair.

Lin Jue took chopsticks, picked up a piece of oil cake, handed it back, and said, "You also eat a piece, comb your hair while eating, and don't delay your work." ”

Lu Wu was blushed by Lin Jue's intimate actions, waved his hand and shook his head: "I'll eat it myself in a while, and Childe can eat it by himself." ”

Lin Jue looked at her with a smile, holding his chopsticks and not moving. Lu Wu was helpless, and he was embarrassed to eat it in Lin Jue's hands, so he stretched out two slender fingers, lifted the corner of the oil cake, and put the oil cake in his mouth with his small mouth open. The oil cake is too big, and Green Dance's mouth can't be completely contained, half of it is outside, half is inside, and it makes the mouth around it oily, and it looks very funny.

Lin Jue looked at Green Dance and laughed, Green Dance himself felt funny, suffering from stuffing something in his mouth, and he couldn't laugh with it, his face turned red with his eyes and holding his breath.

Lin Jue reached over and pulled off the exposed half, wiped off the oil and water around Lu Wu's mouth with a cloth towel, and said with a smile: "It seems that you can't use one heart for two purposes, you better wait to eat." ”

Green Dance nodded, puffed out her mouth and combed her hair, and Lin Jue also began to eat cakes and drink porridge. After a moment of sighing and snoring, a bowl of porridge and a few pieces of pancake were eaten. The nimble Green Dance also combed Lin Jue's messy hair, and pinned a silver hairpin to the bun.

"Is Childe full? There is also rice porridge and bread. Midori asked.

"It's full and fragrant. Pack up and eat, too. I'm going to change my clothes and I'm going to the vestibule. ”

"I've got the clothes ready, I ironed them last night and hung them on the hanger, I'll get them." Midori said busily.

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "I'll just wear it myself, you can help me do everything, won't I become a waster?" Go to breakfast, it's none of your business. ”

……

The Lin family in Hangzhou is one of the most wealthy families in the southeast of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The history of the Lin clan can be traced back to the two Jin dynasties. The ancestral home of the Lin family was originally in Luoyang, the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty, and Lin Xunzhi, the ancestor of the Lin family, once served for the Sima family. After the Sima clan won the world, Lin Xunzhi was reused from the dragon's power, and the Lin family began to prosper from then on.

When Wuhu moved south, the Lin family was forced to move south, and finally settled in Hangzhou, where they have taken root ever since. After several dynasties, the Lin family produced many talents and many people, thus establishing the status of the Lin family as a wealthy family in the southeast.

But the prosperity of the Lin clan suffered a near-devastating blow during the time of Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty. They're on the wrong side with the wrong people. In addition, at that time, Emperor Wu vigorously cracked down on the clan power of the family, and in the end, all the officials in the Lin clan were killed and degraded, and the children of the Lin family were forbidden to enter the imperial examination, and the Lin family was defeated. They had to lie dormant in the southeast, and they operated as merchants, and they operated for several generations, and they also became giants in the southeast.

But in terms of status, there is a difference of 108,000 miles between the family of Shang Jia and the family of the clan who enter and leave the court and control the government. Therefore, although the Lin family has become a giant, in the minds of the previous heads of the Lin family, they still look forward to returning to the court and recreating the glory of the Lin family in the past.

After arriving in this dynasty, the Lin family can be regarded as having a bright future. This is a heavy rule, and there is not so much defense against the family. Several generations of the Lin family began to focus on cultivating their children to enter the imperial examination. It is hoped that with the strong financial resources of the Lin family, coupled with the large number of children entering the imperial examination, the situation of the Lin family returning to the core of the imperial court power can be achieved.

But I don't know if it's a curse, this dynasty has been around for more than 100 years, and the children of the Lin family have also updated a few times, and it should have been all over the government and the opposition. But the reality is that in the past hundred years since the founding of the country, less than twenty or thirty children of the Lin family have been able to enter the court as officials. Moreover, most of them have bumpy careers, and they are petty officials who do not enter the stream, and it is difficult to enter the core of power at all.

This strange phenomenon has made the heads of the family in the past years very troubled. It wasn't until this generation that the situation changed slightly. Among the three direct brothers of the Lin family, the second lord Lin Bonian had a prosperous official fortune, and the head of the family, Lin Boyong, spent a lot of money, and finally let Lin Bonian enter the three divisions of the imperial court last year, and took charge of the chief official of the household department, one of the three major divisions under the three divisions of the yamen. That was already a high position as one of the three deputy envoys of the Yamen.

Lin Boyong, the head of this generation, can be described as full of ambition. In his opinion, everything is difficult at the beginning. The second brother is already in a high position, which means that the chances of the children of the Lin family entering the various yamen in the capital have greatly increased. With the second brother Lin Bonian making friends in the court, things will be much easier. The only thing that needs to be supervised is that the children of the Lin family must cross the threshold of the imperial examination. If you can't get the scientific examination, it's in vain.

This dynasty attaches great importance to the rule of culture, so the matter of scientific research is particularly strict, and those who enter the office must have real talent and learning, and want to spend money to buy. It's extremely difficult to be an official. Once it is exposed, the reputation of the Lin family will be ruined, and the children of the Lin family who have already entered the ranks will also be implicated. Lin Boyong is not stupid, he is easily unwilling to do this.

Because of this, Lin Boyong's reprimand for the children of the family is extremely strict, and the children of the Lin family he needs must put the interests of the Lin family first in the future and in the future, and they need to understand that they are members of the Lin family. Therefore, he not only urged them to study hard, but also drew up a rule, that is, the monthly court training time. He wanted to strengthen their sense of responsibility to the Lin family and their sense of belonging to the Lin family. Of course, doing so is also to establish one's authority in the family. No matter who they are, no matter how great they will be in the future, no matter where they are, they must be respectful in front of the head of the house, and they must not trespass.
