The next morning, when Lin Jue was sorting out his backpack, packing up his books, and preparing things to read in the academy under the corridor, Lin Boyong ordered a servant to call Lin Jue to speak.

Lin Jue knew that it must have been the things that Lin Ke handed over to them last night that had arrived in Lin Boyong's hands. Lin Ke: They weren't going to keep those things, after all, it would be too obvious to do that. Moreover, these oral testimonies can be written again, and Lin Jue can also call the woman from Mochizuki Tower to the Lin Mansion to prove it to himself, so it is impossible to hide this matter.

The second entered Lin Boyong's study, and Lin Boyong, who had finished the morning tea party, was changing his clothes under the service of the maid. In the morning, he was going to King Liang's Mansion to meet King Liang, and asked him to go to the secret room of the Lin family's warehouse to take a look at the two treasures that had been transported back from Fanguo. Seeing King Liang, it was a grand dress, so Lin Boyong trimmed his beard and deliberately put on the blue silk gown that he only liked. This caftan is the craftsmanship of the chief tailor of Long Qingxiang, a time-honored ready-to-wear shop in Beijing, who is a master who specializes in making clothes for the palace. This kaftan fits and is decent, low-key and priceless, luxurious and restrained.

Lin Jue stood under the corridor of the study and saluted respectfully: "Nephew Lin Jue has seen the head of the family. ”

Lin Boyong stretched out his arms and let the maid knot the buttons for him, and when he heard this, he turned his head and said, "Lin Jue?" Come in and talk. ”

Lin Jue thanked him and stepped into the room. This second-entry large study is where Lin Boyong rests before going out. The entire study room is as big as Lin Jue's small courtyard. Bookshelves are lined up all around. But there are not many books on the bookshelf mountain, and there are more antique ornaments on the shelves, and there are many strange things bought from Fanguo. Several huge screens of landscapes, flowers and birds divide the study into two, and a large table is placed in front of the screen. Lin Jue saw at a glance that the stack of dictated testimonies he had handed over to Lin Ke last night was on the table.

After getting dressed, Lin Boyong waved away the maid and walked to the table and sat down. Stretched out his finger and pointed to the stack of papers, "Lin Jue, this is what you handed over to me from Tolinko last night." Early this morning, Lin Ke handed it over to me, and I have seen it. Things are clear to me. Not...... I didn't expect that there would be such an inside story in this, and you should have made it clear on the day of the court training. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "Family master, I really blamed me for not making it clear that day, it was my fault." ”

Lin Boyong was very satisfied with Lin Jue's answer, and said with a smile: "You're not wrong, you don't want to be unsubstantiated, so you took ten sticks." Your temper is a bit like your father's. That's it, since there was a misunderstanding in this matter, and the family law was wrongly handled, it can't be wrong. The ten sticks were beaten, and they didn't come back. However, the penalty for the suspension of the monthly routine can be abolished. On the day of the court training next month, the old man explained the matter to the children in the family, and you will be innocent. ”

Lin Jue bowed down and said, "Thank you, master." ”

Lin Boyong said: "You have indeed suffered some grievances in this matter, so let's do it, you can tell me what compensation you want." ”

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "The head of the family is very loving, and the nephew is grateful." But this compensation is exempt. Everything was a misunderstanding, and it would have been better if it had been done sooner. ”

Lin Boyong smiled and said, "Very good, you are very knowledgeable." So, are you going to study at Matsuyama Academy tomorrow? I'll have someone get you a car to drive in and out of the morning and evening. What do you think? ”

Lin Jue wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he also felt that this was a good compensation. In the Lin family, not everyone can sit on a special carriage and horse. The Lin family only has a car in the room of Lin Boyong and several sons, and there are only more than ten cars in total. Men and their families sometimes have to sit in a sedan chair when they go out, because they can't be separated. If there is a car and a horse to travel, it will not only make the trip to the academy in the morning and evening not too hard, but also show the improvement of his status in the Lin family. Although this improvement was just an illusion, Lin Jue didn't care.

"Thank you to the head of the family, let my nephew be grateful."

"Okay, that's it. Lin Jue, the old man knows that you may have suffered some cold reception and some grievances. But in the eyes of the old man, the children of the Lin family are all treated equally. I can't write two Lin characters with one stroke, and my Lin family is still dominant here for hundreds of years, because most of my Lin family members consciously maintain the Lin family. In the past, some of the ancestors of the Lin family were even willing to die to protect the safety of the rest of the family, and it is because of this that there is a signboard that my Lin family has stood tall for hundreds of years. The old man's requirements for the children of the Lin family are actually not high, to sum up, in a word, that is: all the children of the Lin family, regardless of their ability, need to do their best for the lintel of the Lin family. Only those with great ability do their best, and those with small ability do their best. All the descendants of the Lin clan must be sincerely united and have the same goal, and it is strictly forbidden to smear, slander or even betray. Under the family rules and family law, everyone must abide by self-discipline in order to work together. Not to mention bullying each other, and even plotting to frame them. Once these behaviors are discovered, the Lin family will not be compatible, and they will be expelled from the house, and they will be severely punished by national law. Lin Boyong looked at Lin Juedao with blazing eyes.

Lin Jue sneered in his heart, Lin Boyong's words were high-sounding, but they were just empty words. He wants the children of the Lin family to absolutely obey the head of the family and not disobey it in the slightest, which in itself is a kind of coercive behavior that destroys human nature. The Great Zhou Dynasty has not yet been so high-pressure, but the Lin family is under high pressure. And the last few words he said were obviously warning, Lin Jue smelled the breath in them, Lin Boyong was telling himself, if you dare to disobey the rules, the consequences will be extremely serious.

The head of the family admonished, Lin Jue kept it in mind. The nephew has only one question, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Oh? You said. ”

"My nephew thinks that since the head of the family said that he wants the children of the Lin family to serve the Lin family with all his might, then the Lin family has thought about what to do for the children."

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Boyong frowned.

"Forgive my nephew. Some of the children of the Lin family have difficulty making a living, so how can they repay their families? Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. Livelihood problems are worrisome, how can we work together? Although the lord's family gave each house a monthly allowance, this monthly allowance was only enough to make a living. Outside the house has to study to take the exam, but in fact, many people are not reading material at all. In order to respond to the call of the head of the family, he could only go to study, but in the end he achieved nothing. In this way, it is better to find other ways to make a living, but to get a wife and children to have food and clothing and a worry-free livelihood. The head of the family said that those who have less ability do their best. The nephew felt that if the outer room could be peaceful, it would also make a small contribution to the family. The head of the family wants everyone to work hard, so everyone should make the best use of it, not all of them have to study and take the exam. For example, this school only needs to set up a family child enlightenment. Choosing talents that can be created, concentrating financial resources, and investing them in the academies that can produce talents outside is the right way, rather than putting a group of people in a home school and letting a group of mediocre teachers teach. Even a genius has become a mediocre talent in the home school. ”

Lin Jue was a little excited, and he couldn't hold back what he said all of a sudden, and said a lot of words. Lin Boyong's face was quite embarrassed, and his brows were already furrowed, but Lin Jue didn't notice it. In Lin Boyong's view, Lin Jue was accusing himself of taking charge of the Lin family's improper measures, and the points he said were Lin Boyong's most proud moves, but they all became inappropriate places in Lin Jue's place. The unhappiness in Lin Boyong's heart can be imagined.

"Lin Jue, you can't help but think too much. The old man only hopes that everyone will do their duty, but he doesn't want everyone to point fingers, so isn't the Lin family in chaos? ”

Lin Jue was vigilant, and secretly scolded himself: "You are really stupid, you are nothing in his eyes, he is just a little guilty because of the improper handling of court training, you really think that he doesn't care about his own identity, and treats himself and others as one." Stupid. ”

"I'm really sorry, my nephew is talking nonsense, and I ask the head of the family not to take it to heart. Does the head of the house have anything else to teach? If not, the nephew will retire. Lin Jue reined in his edge and bowed.

Lin Boyong waved his hand and said: "You go, by the way, say hello to Fang Daru for me, and say that I, Lin Boyong, have admired him for a long time, and I hope to visit him if I have the opportunity." ”

"Nephew must have brought the words. The nephew retired. Lin Jue bowed again and walked out quickly.

All the way to the vestibule, Lin Jue was still blaming himself for being too angry, saying things that shouldn't be said, and exposing his heart. This will make Lin Boyong even more wary of himself.

When he was in remorse, he suddenly looked up and saw a man dressed in short clothes and wrapped in bandages lying on a soft chair in the courtyard. That person also saw Lin Jue, he was Huang Changqing. After being beaten last night, Huang Changqing was no longer able to walk, but in order to show his attitude of serving the Lin family even if he died, he ordered someone to carry him to the front court to prepare carriages and horses for Lin Boyong. In fact, it is to win sympathy in front of Lin Boyong. It's just that I didn't expect to meet Lin Jue.

The moment their eyes met, Huang Changqing's eyes erupted with fire.

Lin Jue stepped forward with a smile and arched his hand: "Steward Huang is good." ”

"Humph!" Huang Changqing snorted angrily.

"Steward Huang, Dr. Zhang of Furentang treats this injury best, the three-seven-five flower cream he prepared is very effective, I used this last time, and I got out of bed in two days. It is recommended that Huang Butler use this, and you can recover soon. Lin Jue said with a grin.

"Don't worry about Lao Lin Jue, and don't call me a housekeeper, I'm no longer a housekeeper." Huang Changqing said coldly.

"It's a pity, Steward Huang is an indispensable person in our Lin family, it's a pity." Lin Jue smacked his lips and said.

"It's not because of you, it's still because of your powerful means, I'm willing to bow down." Huang Changqing said coldly.

Lin Jue smiled. Leaned forward and whispered, "If you don't mess with me, how can you have today?" You brought it all upon yourself. If you remember what I said, don't come to mess with me when you regain the trust of the head of your family in the future. Otherwise you'll be worse off than you are today. ”

Huang Changqing changed color, and when he opened his mouth to speak, Lin Jue had already turned around and walked quickly from the side door to the west courtyard.
