Noble son of the poor family (56)

Yin Youniang's matter, naturally I have to talk to Yin Lao Er and Qian's family.

"Come on. Yin Lao Er nodded, "It's enough to have someone to live with." If you can't have a child, you can adopt a child and raise it as your own. There are no in-laws and no concubines, and my uncle is a person you can hold, so you won't suffer in the future, so it's okay. ”

The two took out their savings and added makeup to Yin Youniang.

Hei Qi discussed with Lin Yutong: "The subordinates want to press their homes in the alley behind the house. ”

It was originally the property of the Hou Mansion. It is only for the clansmen and the descendants of the house who have become families.

"In the future, my subordinates will work in the house a lot, and this place is close to home. The second is that her subordinates are doing some shady things, and she lives close to the Hou Mansion and is safe. ”

Lin Yutong nodded, "It's all empty in the back, you can just pick it." ”

There are a lot of small two-entry houses, and a lot of courtyard houses. In a few years, they will all be full. Now I can pick a good one if I live in the past.

Lin Yutong gave another two hundred taels of silver for him to settle down, "Let's do it as soon as possible." Out of the New Year, he officially took care of the affairs of the house. ”

Hei Qi respectfully agreed, and then withdrew.

Lin Yutong asked Mama Su, "Go and ask someone to see, what is the master busy with?"

The fourth master is sitting in front of the Fang family brothers at this moment, and the two of them are here to pay New Year's greetings.

Fang Wenqing saw this fourth master for the first time, and as soon as he entered the study, he was shocked, "Master Hou is really an elegant person." ”

The fourth master smiled, and suddenly heard someone call him Hou Ye, which was really a little fresh.

He waved his hand, "It's just a vassal elegance." Master Fang, sit down. Mr. Fang doesn't need to be polite, you are a frequent visitor to my place. ”

Fang Changqing called out 'Fourth Master', and then sat down.

"Master Hou, this time the next official will be appointed ......" Fang Changqing leaned sideways, and was about to say down, when the fourth master waved his hand, "For the New Year, let's be idle for two days." It's been a tiring day of the case, and let's gossip today. As he spoke, he changed the subject, "Mr. Fang, we all know that you are a genius, but I don't know which great sage the master is?"

Fang Wenqing couldn't help but look at Fang Changqing, he originally came in and wanted to communicate with the fourth master about the affairs of the yamen, but he didn't expect that people wouldn't accept him at all. I just hope that Fang Changqing is a clever person and can bring the topic back.

Fang Changqing didn't seem to see his brother's eyes, and said calmly: "The respected teacher below is Mr. Lu Henglu." ”

"Lu Heng?" the fourth master turned the cup in his hand, "Why does this name sound so familiar?"

Fang Changqing suddenly smiled and said, "It's not strange that the fourth master has heard of Mr. Lu. In the study of the fourth master, many of them are the previous files of various departments, so I must have seen them in the documents. ”

The fourth master nodded Fang Changqing, "As soon as you say it, I remember." I seem to have seen this name in the case files of the Criminal Department, and I seem to have seen his name in the case files of the Ministry of Households. It seems that it is really for Daxian. ”

"The fourth master has a good memory. Fang Changqing said with a smile: "The master has two terms in the criminal department, three in the household department, and finally in the secretary of the department." This year, too, there are 8 out of 60. ”

The fourth master had some surprises in his heart, "The Criminal Department, the Household Department, and the Officials Department have been transferred for twenty years." Then the laws of the world, the money, the grain, the population, the taxes, the transportation, the acres, and the officials, big and small, are all in his belly. ”

Fang Wenqing was stunned. This one suddenly saw the essence of the problem.

Fang Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "What the fourth master said is that it's just that the master and his old man are happy." In the past two years, there has been no concern about the world. ”

The fourth master nodded, "It seems that Mr. Lu is still in the capital?"

Fang Changqing was a little embarrassed and said: "Mr. is ...... outside the city"

"Since it's not far away, such a great sage, I have to pay a visit. The fourth master said, "Where is it outside the city?"

The corners of Fang Changqing's mouth twitched before he said, "In Wuling Mountain." ”

The fourth master nodded, "I will definitely visit another day." ”

The fourth master said that he was visiting, so he really wanted to visit.

"Pack up your things, you go with me. "The fourth master came back at night and said to Lin Yutong.

I really remember that something happened to me.

Because I had to go out of the city and wanted to come back that day, I had to get up before dawn.

The two of them didn't take anyone with them, one person and one horse, and at two o'clock in the morning, they rushed to Wuling Mountain.

At the bottom of the mountain, it was still dark. The two knocked on a farmer's house and deposited the horses. Then I rushed up the mountain. The convoy with the gifts probably hasn't left the city yet.

Lin Yutong breathed in the cold air and looked up, "Walking! I haven't climbed a mountain for a long time." ”

The fourth master smiled, "If the weather is fine today, we can still watch this sunrise." ”

"If it weren't for the light of the old gentleman, wouldn't you have the time to accompany me out for a walk and have a look?" Lin Yutong took the fourth master's arm and walked up the snow-covered steps. "Don't say it, this old gentleman's body must not be wrong. This day-long workout, breathing in the fresh air, will definitely lead to a long life. ”

"Yes!" the fourth master looked at the mountain covered by snow, "It is a blessing that people can live a long life. It's just that this time, I still want to invite this gentleman out of the mountain. ”

"What?" Lin Yutong looked at the fourth master, "Did you find a Hubu Shangshu in advance?"

The fourth master waved his hand, "People may not be willing, but you can ask me to go back and be a gentleman, whether it is a feast or a conversation, it is good." ”

Lin Yutong understands, in the eyes of others, today's fourth master is a rough person who can know a few people with big characters, and he has to put on this humble posture in order to attract readers.

"This man is indeed capable. The fourth master said to Lin Yutong while walking, "It is especially rare to be in a high position for 20 years, and to be able to be smooth and safe!"

Lin Yutong smiled: "Master's idea is strange, shouldn't he 'work for the country and clumsy for his life'? This Mr. Lu is very 'working for a living'." ”

The fourth master nodded at Lin Yutong, "Work for the country, but clumsy for life." These words were Hai Rui's evaluation of Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng, a powerful minister who advocated reform, died tragically in the end, and even the family did not die well after his death. Hai Rui, who was an official at the same time as him, had the name of Qingtian. Why is this? However, the one who gave Zhang Juzheng a fair evaluation was this Hai Rui. This is a travesty. ”

The fourth master's words did not continue, and Lin Yutong did not ask. The two of them just supported each other and went all the way up the mountain.

The sound of 'creaking' on the snow is clearer in this empty mountain.

When the two of them were sweating, they really reached the top of the mountain. At this time, the sky was already bright, and in the distance, a trace of red light was already visible on the horizon.

"It's really telling us to catch the sunrise. Lin Yutong excitedly pointed to the fourth master, "This newborn sun is really beautiful shining on the snow." ”

The fourth master looked to the other side, "We disturbed the old gentleman's purity." ”

Lin Yutong turned around and looked towards the pavilion on the other side, only to see an old man with white hair standing there.

The fourth master walked over with a smile, hugged his fists and said, "Neiko was rude and disturbed Mr." Forgive me!"

Lin Yutong followed behind and blessed his body, and silently retreated to the side.

The old gentleman turned around and smiled faintly: "It's the Hou Xian couple from Zhenbei." The scenery of the world, shared by the people of the world, where is there a disturbance. ”

The fourth master smiled and clenched his fists, "The old gentleman knows our husband and wife?"

"Changqing is the old man's uncompetitive apprentice, he only arrived at the old man last night. He smiled as he spoke.

The fourth master said, "It's really Mr. Lu." So saying, he saluted again.

Lu Heng smiled: "Don't be polite, the old man is a white body now, and the Hou Ye is so polite, it will really torment the old man." As he spoke, he turned around and pointed to the red sun, which had already risen halfway, and said, "What did the Hou Ye think of when he looked at this rising sun? In the eyes of the old man, this colorful and troubled world, life and death, honor and disgrace, and great fame and great deeds are all like half a blade of grass, a drop of morning dew, and white snow in spring, which are fleeting in a blink of an eye. And only this rising sun, day after day, rises and sets leisurely. The old man has reached the age of sitting and watching the clouds rise and fall, can the Hou Ye understand?"

The fourth master nodded slightly with a smile, "I didn't expect Lingwu Mountain to have such a beautiful scenery." ”

actually didn't say a word about inviting Lu Heng before.

Lin Yutong blinked, and he didn't understand what Lu Heng was trying to say with that emotion.

After watching the sunrise, the two followed Lu Heng to the Lu family's courtyard in Lingwu Mountain, and sat and talked for a long time, talking about some cloudy and foggy words. After lunch, the fourth master got up to say goodbye.

At this time, Lin Yutong prepared a gift, and was also escorted by Li Jian to send it up.

And when he was about to go out, the fourth master had a few more letters in his hand.

Seeing that Lin Yutong was curious, the fourth master handed it over, "It's a few letters of recommendation." Mr. Lu recommended a few people to come. ”

Lin Yutong suddenly realized that this was rejected.

She pursed her lips, "After talking so many things, didn't he just want to say that he couldn't take risks and wade into troubled waters? ”

The fourth master couldn't help laughing, "What words come to your mouth, why do they sound so awkward." ”

"These literati are sour. Lin Yutong shook his head, "One by one, the hearts and livers are fragile and delicate. If you want to use him, you still have to coax him. I don't like to deal with people like that. ”

The fourth master waved his hand disappreciatively, "They are all people who grew up reading sage books in the study, and they pay attention to the quietness, silence, and elegance." In this chaotic world, they may not really be able to play it. ”

"What about the recommended person?" Lin Yutong said in a low voice: "It's not the same as a scholar?"

There is still a difference between a reader and a reader. The fourth master smiled, "These are all unsuccessful readers......"

The unsuccessful reader?

Less of a clear high, more sophisticated. Less talk, more pragmatism!
