Ling Jue originally returned home with Chunhui, because he has been getting older recently, talented and famous. Such a young talent who has not yet participated in the scientific examination has always been very easy to attract attention, and many powerful adults in the capital appreciate him.

was specially called by Ying Meifu to speak, Ying Meifu was very appreciative because he saw that he had an excellent character and extraordinary conversation, but his own son Chunhui was not as good as him, he only hated not having a biological daughter, otherwise he would immediately promise Ling.

Ling Jue came back from Ying Meifu's study, and just happened to bump into Ying Huaizhen.

At that moment, Ling Jue said some homework with Chunhui, discussed some of the Four Books and Five Classics, and criticized some new poems that had been published recently.

Chunhui will be wrong because he sees him thoughtful, just because Ling Jue has also published two good poems recently, but it is still not as good as Ying Lanfeng's one, so he only said: "After all, you are still young, and you have a lot to do in the future, so why bother with a short and long term? ”

Ling Jue saw that he was wrong, but he didn't explain, he only smiled and said, "You don't want to blindly praise, I'm afraid of killing me." ”

Chunhui clapped his hands and smiled: "I want to kill, but I'm afraid that you know it in your heart, and others can't kill if they want to." ”

The two talked and laughed for a while, and made an appointment to meet another day.

Ling Jue went out of the house, Chunhui said goodbye to him, since he returned to the house, who knew that before he entered the study, there was a little maid who said that Yingmeifu called him, and Chunhui was busy going to see his father.

When Ying Meifu saw him, he couldn't help but reprimand a few more words. It's just because Chunhui is good, but Ying Meifu saw the most outstanding young man like Ling Jue, so he compared Chunhui, so Ying Meifu had a little bit of "Jackie Chan" thoughts, and finally said Chunhui, nothing more than to tell him to study harder, ask Ling Jue for advice, etc., Chunhui couldn't help but agree one by one, Ying Meifu saw that he was a little humble, so he let him go.

Let's say that Ling Jue returned to the house, and when he entered the door, he saw a person walking out, and when the person saw him, he greeted him with a smile.

Ling Jue still lightly, raised his hand and saluted, the man was in his thirties, with an ordinary face, dressed as a scribe, and said with a smile: "Cousin is going out to socialize again?

Ling Jue didn't like it in his heart, so he brought out three points on his face, and only said: "It's to meet my classmates in school." ”

The man looked him up and down, still smiling to himself, and said, "My cousin is getting more and more brilliant now, and he is also a big name outside!" A few days ago, I met with a relative of Scholar Huang's family, and he also asked me about it, saying that Scholar praised my brother every day, and that person had no friendship with me at first, but because he knew that my brother was related to me, he even invited me to a special meal this time...... My face is really bright, too. I also told my aunt about it, and she couldn't be happier. ”

Ling Jue became more and more disliked, and he didn't bother to deal with it, so he only said: "If it's okay, I won't delay, and I'll talk another day." As soon as he gave up his hand and lifted his foot, the man saw this, and had to go out of the house as well.

Ling Jue entered the inner house, inquired about Ling Jingshen and did not come back, and felt a little melancholy in his heart, so he went to see his mother.

When Madame Ling saw him, she was overjoyed, just because she had just heard some words of flattery and praise for him, and when she saw him return, she said in a loud voice, "My son, I am thinking about you, come quickly." ”

Ling Jue had no choice but to step forward, Mrs. Ling held his hand, asked him to sit beside him, and asked him where he went, what he did, whether he had eaten or not, and talked for a while.

Seeing that his mother was just babbling about something inconsequential, Ling Jue couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what is my cousin here for?"

When Mrs. Ling saw him ask, she knew that she had met, so she said, "It's nothing...... It's nothing more than relatives coming and going. ”

Ling Jue sneered and said, "If you really want to come and go, where did they go when our family was so down?" Now it's just to see my brother's interest, so they are all busy running around, are they bothered?"

Mrs. Ling listened, but she was not annoyed, she just smiled and sighed, and said: "What nonsense is this child talking about, there is also a busy family among relatives, who was busy at home before, but now they naturally think about coming when they are free, not to mention, even if it really depends on our family's income, it is not your brother's income, it must be your income." ”

Ling didn't care, and said, "What am I going to do? ”

Madame Ling slapped him lightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense! If you don't have fame now, won't you have it in the future?" Sooner or later, your cousin also told me, and many adults appreciate you......" said with a happy face, but he stopped talking.

Ling Jue looked at it in his eyes and didn't say anything, but just asked again: "He came to our house in person, he really just said something flattering to his mother, and nothing else?"

Mrs. Ling saw that he asked again and again, but she didn't dare to hide it anymore, so she had to hesitate and say, "There is only one small matter, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Ling Jue's eyes narrowed, and he said, "What is a trivial matter? If it is a trivial matter, where is it worth rushing to the door and saying such good things?" ”

Mrs. Ling smiled reluctantly, and said, "You probably know, your cousin...... He was originally subordinate to Jing Zhaoyin, and he was appointed as Changcheng, but because the children of Jing Zhaoyin's family were kidnapped by thieves a few years ago, he was implicated and was demoted, and he has not been promoted in the past few years. ”

Ling Jue snorted and only asked what would happen.

Mrs. Ling paused for a moment before she said, "It's just because he heard that it's been ...... recently." Your brother is on an errand under Lin Yushi, so I want to go your brother's way, let him say a few kind words in front of Lord Yushi, dredge and dredge, this is a very small matter, not to mention that your cousin is not a big mistake, if Lord Yushi is willing to send a word, he will naturally be reinstated...... That's why I said you don't have to worry about it, just wait for your brother to come back and I'll tell him. ”

When Ling Jue heard this, he sneered and said, "I guessed that there was nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and sure enough, I guessed correctly, it was for this matter." ”

Mrs. Ling hurriedly asked, "You already know?"

Ling Jue said: "I heard that he wanted to clear up this matter recently, but he just had no way, but it happened that he came again at this time, why didn't he look for his brother?

Madam Ling frowned and said, "Why is this? If he is really reinstated, it will also be good for our family." ”

Ling Jue sneered more and more, "He also had a time when he was in his original position before, and although I was young and ignorant at that time, I didn't see anything good?"

Mrs. Ling had no choice but to coax and say, "Don't say anything angry, it was before, but won't they understand it in the future?" ”

Ling Jue Zhengse said: "Mother, needless to say what will happen in the future, no matter how difficult we are, we have never begged anyone, but we have only relied on my brother to live, until now, if my brother was lazy or idle, can we go to these relatives' houses to ask for it? Now that my brother is better, and I have a little reputation, they can't wait to come up?"

When Ling Jue said this, she got up again, looked at her mother and said, "If this matter is really irrelevant, then it doesn't matter, and I won't say these words." But my mother thought about it carefully, Lord Lin Yushi has always been known for his iron face, if he is willing to show favoritism, where can he have such a name that makes everyone fearful? My brother is on an errand in front of him, so he naturally has to be very energetic, and he can't have the slightest talent, and now that his mother has taken over the matter of his cousin, if he really instigates his brother to intercede, wouldn't it be the same as sending his own mistake to his brother? With Lin Yushi's style of not rubbing sand in his eyes, I'm afraid that I won't need my brother immediately! At that time, who will my mother let us rely on?

When Mrs. Ling heard this, her heart was slightly furious, and she also regretted that she couldn't help her nephew from saying some good things, so she rashly agreed. I had to reluctantly say: "I heard that Lin Yushi treats him very much, so he shouldn't be dismissed because of this?"

Ling Jue said: "It is precisely because my brother never does these obscene/obscene things, so Lin Yushi reuses him, if he really does it, where is there today? Not to mention that the position of my brother is also recommended by the elder brother of the Tang family, if my brother does not do it carefully, he will even refute the face of the Tang Mansion! Where will I find a second person like Brother Tang in the future, and then come to help my brother? My cousins and cousins, although there are many, who can be counted on?"

When Mrs. Ling heard this, she was faintly afraid: "According to what you say, if you really do this, not only will you offend Lord Lin, but even the Tang family?"

Ling Jue said: "Mother will know if you think about it, don't ruin our whole family because of my mother's soft-heartedness." ”

Mrs. Ling was stunned, and after a while, she sighed faintly and said, "Sure enough, what I thought was too shallow...... Well, when he comes another day, I just say I can't help. ”

Ling Jue nodded and said, "Mother doesn't have to be afraid of offending people, as long as my brother is by Lord Lin's side for a day, even if he offends these people, what can he do?"

When Mrs. Ling saw him say childish things again, she smiled again: "You kid is good at everything, just as soon as you talk about your brother, you will defend him or something, am I just bad and have the intention to harm him?"

Ling Jue said: "It's not that it's harming him, it's just that if you do something wrong unintentionally...... Doesn't it have to be involved? What's more, my brother's affairs are also closely related to our family. ”

Mrs. Ling sighed again and said, "That's it, I don't even talk about it." ”

Ling Jue saw that his mother had finally broken off this thought, and only then did he want to say goodbye, but Mrs. Ling suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, there is another happy event today." ”

Ling Jue saw her face with joy, and for a moment thought of Mrs. Ling's expression when she was about to speak and stopped, so he said, "What is the happy event?"

Mrs. Ling looked at him with a smile, and finally couldn't help but say, "Today...... Someone came to your door to propose a kiss. ”

Ling Jue was stunned for a moment, a little ridiculous, and said: "What kind of relatives did you mention to me, my brother's matter has not been decided yet, why am I in a hurry." ”

When Mrs. Ling heard him talk about Ling Jingshen again, she smiled and said angrily: "He still has to be willing to make a decision, last time I wanted to make him your aunt's sister Hong, but he couldn't make that incident out of the law...... Although it has passed, how well-informed these people in the capital are, although he is doing well on an errand now, but those who have a head and a face and a face are not afraid to speak lightly after all, so they can't be counted on!"

Ling Jue defended Ling Jingshen and said, "What's wrong with my brother......? It's just that I'm drunk with a prostitute, and there are many grandchildren and grandchildren of the king in the capital, and they have done all those ridiculous things...... Why can't you do it because of my brother?"

When Mrs. Ling heard this, she was slightly moved, and said, "Hurry up and stop talking! How old are you, and you will also know about 'prostitution'? I just hate him for this, he just did it himself, first ruined your reputation, and told you to learn this too!"

Ling Jue sneered: "What is my mother afraid of? This kind of thing still needs to be taught? If I want to be willing to fall into my own hands, I can learn a hundred ways without being taught, and if I am determined to take the right path, what if people all over the world are pulling me to learn badly? Not to mention where my brother will teach me to be bad? He was only forced by his mother to have no way, so he made a fuss...... Didn't my mother also cut off the matter of asking my brother to marry Cousin Hong?"

When Mrs. Ling heard these words, she was so angry that she was reluctant to beat Ling Jue, so she only beat her legs and said, "You two brothers are going to be angry with me!

Seeing that she was angry, Ling Jue softened his tone a little and said, "My brother is an assertive person who will only do things that are beneficial to the Ling family, so why should my mother think about it for him? As for my business, ......"

When Madame Ling heard him say this, she opened her eyes and looked at it.

I only heard Ling Jue say: "I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry, not to mention the adults who are looking at me at the moment, they just want to bet on my future prospects, even if I want to get married, it won't be a really noble little sister who will be given to me, it's better to wait for two years, if I emerge in the scientific examination like the elder brother of the Guo family...... At that time, there were better people to talk about. What does Mother think?"

When Mrs. Ling heard him say this, she turned her anger into joy, laughed happily, and said: "I said before that you were just angry with me, but in the end you are my son, and you are not confused in serious matters at all! Although the person who came to propose marriage today is also a good official eunuch, but when I inquired, it seems that I want you to appoint a concubine Miss, I thought to myself that if our family is still the same as the original family reputation, where do you want a concubine Miss, even if they are not worthy of their concubine! I am glad that you are so assertive. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Ling Jue over again, hugged him, and said with emotion: "Your brother...... I won't say anything, Mother Hengzhi is only counting on you in her heart...... Good boy, you are the mother's lifelong reliance. ”

Mrs. Ling knew that Ling Jue had a strange problem, he didn't like to touch people's limbs, even if he was close to him, he couldn't do it, although he couldn't bear it, he felt uncomfortable in the end, so he only hugged it and let it go.

Suddenly remembered another thing, so he said: "Yes, I still remembered the incident with the Guo family today......

In fact, Ling Jue Fang had also had this incident in his heart, and when he heard what his mother said, he didn't make a sound.

Mrs. Ling looked at him and said, "What do you think in your heart......?" I see that although I don't have any picks, I have to be two years older than you?"
