Lin Boyong pondered for a moment, looked at Lin Jue at the bottom and said, "Lin Jue, do you think that because Steward Huang didn't agree to lend him money, Lin Youde was forced to break the family rules?" ”

Lin Jue smiled and shook his head: "Family master, I didn't say that. My Lin family's direct collateral family has long been separated, and each family's life has passed, and the main family subsidizes dozens of taels of silver to each side house every year, which has been benevolent and righteous. The matter of borrowing silver, it is the duty not to borrow, it is the love to borrow, and Steward Huang also acts in accordance with the rules, but this matter cannot be blamed on Steward Huang. Running to borrow loan sharks is a cousin's own choice, and no one can be blamed. ”

Lin Boyong stroked his beard and nodded slightly, Lin Jue still saw the opportunity, if he insisted on blaming the injustice of the master's family, Lin Boyong would not agree.

"The head of the family, the nephew is just concerned about whether the family law is handled properly, and the nephew doesn't want to be involved in the rest of the things. At present, it seems that it is a fact that the cousin of Youde went in and out of the casino to participate in gambling, but the reason is that it is helpless. The nephew thinks that the family law just now is not appropriate, so please ask the head of the family to learn clearly. ”

"Then what do you say should be done?" Lin Boyong said.

Lin Jue pondered for a moment and said: "My nephew thinks that it is improper for cousin Youde to enter and leave the casino, but his purpose is to borrow money to save his daughter, which is understandable. Even if it is a mistake, it is an unintentional mistake, and it can be punished slightly. Article 9 and Article 21 of the Family Law states that 'if you do not intend to be evil and cause evil consequences, you may be given leniency as appropriate.' ’。 Cousin Youde's move did not cause any evil results, so the nephew suggested that he could be flogged twenty times as a warning. After all, he has already borrowed a loan shark, and the monthly interest alone is as much as three taels, and there is no property at home, so I am afraid that deducting the monthly case will make it difficult for him to make a living. The principal and interest of the thirty taels of usury should also be repaid quickly, if those lenders come to collect debts and make a fuss, I am afraid it will also damage the reputation of our Lin family. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, Lin Jue's punishment was not light, but the twenty thorns were only skin injuries at most, and they would not hurt their muscles and bones. What's more, there is no deduction for the monthly routine. Moreover, he also proposed to solve the problem of usury, if the matter can be solved, not only is it not a punishment, but it will be of great help. Everyone knows that borrowing from loan sharks is a big problem, and if you don't pay it off early, it will roll over more and more, and finally you won't be able to pay it off at all.

"You said it easy, how can the loan shark be repaid? The family has family rules, he ran to borrow thirty taels of loan sharks, but asked the master's family to help him pay back? Wouldn't it be a mess to do all this? Lin Ke shouted in a deep voice.

"That is, how can this matter be condoned? This wind must not last long. The account of the silver shall not be released. Huang Changqing also said loudly.

Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "I didn't say that I wanted the account room to release this money, well, the rules of the main family naturally can't be broken, I mean, I am willing to take out my private money to lend it to cousin Youde to tide over the difficulties." ”

Lin Jue turned to Lin Quan and bowed and said, "Big brother, my monthly rate for three rooms is one hundred and fifty taels. Seventy taels in my mother's room, sixty taels in my eldest brother and sister-in-law's room, and twenty taels of silver per month on my side, I don't know if it's this number? ”

Lin Quan frowned and said, "What?" This is the amount set in the house, and the head of the house agrees. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "I didn't question this, I mean, in the past three years, I have only received ten taels of silver per month in my room, and the remaining ten taels of silver must have been saved by my eldest brother." Can you please ask my eldest brother to help me spend forty taels of silver, and I will lend it to my cousin Youde to repay the usury and interest. This matter can be solved by Anmei. The rest of the money is still saved for me, and I am not in a hurry to use it. ”

Lin Quan's color is extremely ugly. The monthly rate of the third room is 150 taels, and the amount given to this second brother is 20 taels per month. But since Lin Jue's mother died, Lin Quan and his mother and daughter-in-law thought that Lin Jue was honest and bullied, so they directly deducted half of the monthly case. Where is to save it for him, in fact, he doesn't plan to give it at all. With Lin Jue's scumbag, he only has the share of being submissive, how dare he say half a word. didn't expect to be shaken out by him in public today, which was extremely embarrassing.

Lin Boyong frowned and glared at Lin Quan fiercely. How could he not know that it was Lin Quan who privately deducted Lin Jue's monthly case. However, he also had a sense of disgust for Lin Jue, it was obvious that he deliberately said this in public to embarrass Lin Quan, and at the same time embarrassed himself a little. It's like laughing at himself, as the head of the family, he thinks he has a good family, but there is great disharmony underneath. Moreover, Lin Jue proposed to use his own private money to repay the loan shark for Lin Youde, giving people a suspicion of buying people's hearts and being a good person.

But at present, Lin Jue's disposal is still in line with the rules, and he can't ignore the inside story that Lin Youde was forced to do in order to save his daughter, and that is not the fairness that Lin Boyong wants. But this kid wants to buy people's hearts, and he must not let him succeed.

"Lin Jue, I am very satisfied with your disposition, so I will do as you say. Twenty thorns to set an example. There is no need to deduct the monthly case. Not...... This usury, Changqing, did not take money from the counter in accordance with the rules, so he paid thirty taels of silver out of the monthly allowance in my room to pay it back. In the future, one tael per month will be deducted from the monthly case. What do you think? Lin Boyong said in a deep voice.

Huang Changqing hurriedly said: "How can this be? I still have some personal silver taels on hand, and Changqing will lend it to him. ”

"How can I ask Steward Huang to pay for it, just give it to him from my room." Lin Ke shouted.

"I'll take ......"

"It's still a good ...... for me"

"I ......"

The brothers of the Lin family suddenly became generous like philanthropists, and they rushed to express their attitude.

Lin Boyong waved his hand and said, "Don't fight, do as I say." ”

With a faint word, everyone immediately shut up. Lin Boyong glanced at Lin Quan and said in a deep voice: "Fourth, after the monthly allowance of each room is issued, it will be returned to the private room, and it is right for you to keep it for Lin Jue before, after all, he was only fifteen years old when his mother passed away." But now that Lin Jue is eighteen years old, you don't have to keep it for him anymore as an elder brother. All the money for these three years was given to him. When you go back, tell your mother, and say that this is my word. Your father died early, and your two brothers should take care of each other, and don't make outsiders laugh, understand? ”

Lin Quan was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to say more, so he bowed down and said, "My nephew obeys the order, and when I turn around, I will do what the head of the family tells me." ”

Lin Boyong nodded, stared at Lin Jue and said, "Lin Jue, are you still satisfied?" ”

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "The head of the family is virtuous, and the nephew sincerely worships him." ”

"Alright, go ahead." Lin Boyong smiled.

Lin Jue agreed in a deep voice, and then asked the monk to flog Lin Youde, although Lin Youde's back was full of blood and stunned after twenty beatings, but Lin Youde smiled brightly. Because his most troublesome things were solved. After the family law, Lin Youde knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Boyong again and again to thank him, and his attitude was extremely sincere. After getting up, he also bowed to Lin Jue.

Solving Lin Youde's matter, Lin Jue achieved his goal, he didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he returned the booklet to Lin Quan and took the initiative to list. After Lin Quan took over, he dealt with several children who misbehaved in accordance with the family law, but it was just a trivial matter that broke the rules of the Lin family by inappropriate words and behaviors. There are court training punishments every month, and the children of the Lin family have long been like frightened birds, paying great attention to their words and deeds, so there are almost no big mistakes made. In fact, these small mistakes are a bit of nitpicking, and they are just a few punishments.

Finally, the punishment in the pamphlet was over, and the sun had risen. In the heat steaming, the children of the Lin family standing in the court were covered in sweat, but they finally survived until the end, and they all breathed a long sigh of relief. Seeing Lin Quan return the booklet to Huang Changqing, everyone knew that in the end, the head of the family summed up a few more words, and today's drudgery could be regarded as the end.

However, after Lin Quan handed the booklet back to Huang Changqing, before the end of the main lecture, Huang Changqing suddenly saluted Lin Boyong and spoke.

"Head of the family, Changqing has something that I don't know whether to talk about or not, and it's also about this month's court discipline, rewards and punishments."

"If you have something to say, what should you not say." Lin Boyong smiled.

That Changqing said directly. There was a child's misconduct, and Changqing did not record it. Because it involved the son-in-law of the main family, Changqing thought that it would be better to ask the head of the family to show it, so it was not recorded. ”

"Oh? Whose business is it? The court motto rewards and punishments are not divided into inside and outside, don't the family rules and ancestral mottos bind the direct families? Who is it? What was done? Lin Boyong frowned and shouted.

The head of the house reprimanded ...... Actually, it's not a big deal, but I went to the home school a few days ago to check it out. Mr. Xu, the head of the school, said...... There is a son who has missed a lot of schoolwork during this time, and he is not good at studying, which has a bad impact on other children. So ......"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Who the hell is it? Lin Boyong frowned.

"That's it...... Is...... Lin Jue, the second son of the third room. Huang Changqing bowed down and said in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, a smile appeared on the faces of Lin Kelin and the others. Sure enough, Steward Huang is not easy to bully, and here comes it! It's going to give Lin Jue a good look.

The children of the Lin family originally had a good impression of Lin Jue just now for Lin Youde's appearance. At this moment, Lin Jue was about to be punished, and his face was nervous. Everyone knows that this is Huang Changqing's revenge. Butler Huang relied on the trust of the head of the family and the close relationship with several direct sons, and he was extremely domineering. The side disciples didn't dare to be disrespectful in front of this housekeeper, although Lin Jue didn't mean to target him today, he had obviously angered him.

Lin Boyong's face sank like water, and he asked in a deep voice: "According to the family law, what should I do if I don't abide by the rules of the family school." ”

Lin Quan couldn't hide the smugness on his face, and said loudly: "Hit fifty thorns hard." In addition, you have to accept the punishment of the home school, which is generally a fine book, a punishment for memorization or something. It is up to Mr. Kejuku to decide. ”

Lin Boyong nodded and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Punished in accordance with family law. The old man hates not being motivated to study the most, and if my Lin family wants to get ahead, they need their children to work hard. Such situations must not be tolerated. ”
