77. Lin Gongzi's senior brother

On the evening of the second day, Zhao Yuanrong finished eating Lin Xi's noodle soup with satisfaction, and walked around the courtyard with Lin Xi to eat.

As he walked, Zhao Yuanrong said, "Cousin, I want to go back to the palace tomorrow." ”

Lin Xi's footsteps stopped slightly, "Something?" ”

"Uh-huh."

What can a little kid do? Lin Xi was puzzled, and looked down at Zhao Yuanrong looking at himself with a smile on his eyebrows, a little curious.

"What would Rong'er like to tell me?"

Zhao Yuanrong immediately shook his head, blinked with big eyes, and didn't say anything.

The child has his own little secret, and the parents don't have to ask endlessly, so Lin Xi stopped asking, and instead said: "The palace is your home, and you can go back if you want to, but you still have to tell your grandmother and aunt that someone will send you back, how long will it take?" ”

Zhao Yuanrong thought for a moment and stretched out a finger, "One day." ”

It didn't take long, Lin Xi thought about it for a while, "I'll ask the teacher for a leave tomorrow and send you back the day after tomorrow, okay?" ”

I thought that Zhao Yuanrong would happily agree, but I didn't expect to refuse, "No, it's important for my cousin to study, just go back by yourself." ”

So sensible? Lin Xi was surprised, and Zhao Yuanrong's eyes rolled slightly.

Lin Xi asked in a low voice, "Do you have a little secret?" Something to do with me? ”

Zhao Yuanrong nodded immediately, remembered something and shook it quickly, seeing that Lin Xi looked like I understood, he pouted and was annoyed, "Anyway, my cousin is not allowed to go." ”

Zhao Xiaoshizi, who is sticky and sticky like kraft candy, must be a ghost now.

However, once Zhao Yuanrong decides what is like his father, there is basically no way to change, and it is a good thing that he has an idea, so Lin Xi nodded understandingly, and someone followed him, and it was the palace, so there was no danger, "That's it, I'll send you to the palace early tomorrow morning, and then I'll go to the school hall, and I'll pick you up after class." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuanrong was happy now, "Okay." "That's a crisp answer.

That night, Lin Xi asked Huanhuan to go to Chongjin Hall and Songtao Courtyard and informed Mrs. Tai and Liu of the matter.

Zhao Shizi was homesick and had nothing to disagree, so he sent a steady mother to take care of him, Chongjintang was Qi's mother, and Songtaoyuan was Lu's mother, both of whom could replace Mrs. Tai and Liu's henchmen.

Zhao Yuanrong didn't want it, but now he is used to hating people looking at him, but Lin Xi still invited him in with a smile, flicked Zhao Yuanrong's forehead, and said with a smile: "Even if you don't like it, you can't refuse, otherwise your grandmother will have to accompany you back in person, are you willing to take care of a few mothers-in-law, or ......?"

Zhao Yuanrong has a special status, although he did not interfere too much in the two courtyards of Lanyue Xuan, but he was in the Hou Mansion, and he was not afraid of accidents under his nose. But once you get out of the Hou Mansion, you must have a henchman to take care of you to rest assured.

Zhao Yuanrong was already smart, so he obediently took his two mothers back.

Watching Zhao Yuanrong's carriage enter the palace, Lin Xi turned around and went to the academy.

Mr. Bai left a lot of homework, all of which must be memorized skillfully and understood thoroughly, and those in front of Zhao Yuanrong are just a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, Lin Xi has a good memory, he can basically memorize it after reading it a few times, and then pay attention to the words and sentences, he can easily memorize them, coupled with the huge knowledge system of later generations, many experts have studied and analyzed, and it is not difficult to understand these articles thoroughly.

Of course, some ideas are different from this era, so Lin Xi marked them out and asked Mr. Bai on the second day, and after guidance, he understood himself.

No matter how strict a teacher is, he can't make a mistake in the face of such a student.

Besides, Mr. Bai is not an old-fashioned person, sometimes Lin Xi's advanced views make Mr. Bai happy, and he often praises him, "Don't be ashamed to ask, today's learning is finished today, it is difficult for you to have such a characterization, the old man has accepted a good apprentice." ”

"The teacher is famous all over the world, but the students are under pressure, if they don't study hard, how can they be worthy of your earnest teaching?"

Lin Xi's slightly playful tone made Mr. Bai laugh, he is old, and he likes well-behaved and sensible children, but if he is too polite and alienated, Caiyi Entertainment can win the hearts of the old people the most.

"These words are written down for the teacher, for the teacher of the three yuan and the first, the glory of one, as my close disciple, there is no champion in the future, don't come back to see me."

Lin Xi instantly opened his mouth wide and was dumbfounded, "Huh? ”

Is the champion so easy to test? It's not that each province produces two arts and sciences, but that the whole country is concentrated together for three years to give birth to one, okay?

The difficulty factor is not a notch.

"Ahh Mr. Bai knocked on the door of his head and said angrily, "The old man doesn't accept apprentices, once he accepts apprentices, he will be stronger than others, everyone knows that you are my closed disciple, shouldn't you fight for the teacher?" ”

It is difficult for a famous teacher to be an apprentice......

"Isn't there still a senior brother?" Lin Xi asked in a low voice.

"Him?" Mr. Bai sneered, and seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with this big apprentice, "I can't see him a few times a year, don't talk about studying quietly, I'm afraid that the things I taught earlier would have been returned as a teacher a long time ago, and he still wants to take the top prize, if there is a fellow jinshi in the end, he will burn high incense." If it weren't for his dedication to the country and the people, the teacher would have swept him out of the house a long time ago! ”

"...... "What a grievance this is, Lin Xi is even more curious about that senior brother.

is not in the capital, and he is for the country and the people, it can be seen that he is already an official, and there is no imperial examination, that is, he is favored and sheltered, and he must be a wealthy family, so who will recommend him to Mr. Bai?

Could it be that Zhao Jingyi gave him the back door? Lin Xi thought about it and laughed a little, but he couldn't laugh when he smiled.

It's possible!

At the beginning, Father-in-law Cao also said that Zhao Jingyi was looking for a teacher for him.

Lin Xi poured a cup of tea for Mr. Bai, handed it to him, and whispered: "If it weren't for the fact that there were no generals in the court and the imperial court was defeated again and again, the senior brother had the world in his heart, and he didn't want to sit on the wall and watch, otherwise he would definitely be willing to learn from the teacher quietly." ”

Mr. Bai narrowed his eyes, as if he was enjoying the diligent service of the little apprentice, so he said indifferently: "In fact, the quality of reading is secondary, and the righteousness of the mind is the foundation. ”

Hehe...... Lin Xi twitched the corners of his mouth.

"What does the teacher think of this battle in the north, can the senior brother triumph again?"

"He likes military books since he was a child, he is quite familiar with military affairs, knows how to draw inferences from one example, and has a calm temperament, he must not be a presumptuous person, he has experience, he is vigorous, and he is the strength of the country, if he loses, he ......"

Then he couldn't hear Mr. Bai's answer, and as soon as Lin Xi looked up, he saw that the old man was staring at him, and the teacup in his hand seemed to be holding it in his hand and not knowing whether to drink it or not.

"Teacher, you drink tea." Lin Xi bent his eyes and smiled very harmlessly.

Good for you, Zhao Jingyi!

It seemed to see Lin Xi's heart, Mr. Bai couldn't help but put down the teacup for the time being, and spoke for the eldest apprentice, "Xi'er, being a teacher is not a random apprentice, you have to investigate your character and talent first, but I just recommended you to the teacher, if you don't learn enough and have a bad character, he is powerful and oppressive, and he will not agree to be a teacher." ”

Yes, he really should be grateful to this senior brother!

Lin Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "The teacher doesn't have to worry, when the senior brother is triumphant, the student will thank the senior brother for his recommendation." ”

The two words are really bitten.

Mr. Bai did not doubt him, he was very pleased, and said again and again: "Since it is like this, the senior brother has a deep brotherhood." ”

Yes, as a senior brother, can this also be done?

However, thinking that he was still Zhao Jingyi's brother-in-law, Lin Xi felt that Zhao Jingyi's shame didn't care at all.

It's really loveless.

Even if Zhao Jingyi is not in the capital, his influence is as fine and dense as a spider's web, weaving around Lin Xi, making people have nowhere to escape.

Leaning in the carriage, Lin Xi's heart was in turmoil for a while.

The sound of horses' hooves arrived at the palace, the majestic gate was open, and Lin Xi saw the porter respectfully welcoming the carriage into the palace.

When Lin Xi arrived at Qiyunxuan, Cao Gongcheng waited for him with a smile, "Lin Gongzi is finally here, and the prince has been waiting for a long time." ”

Look, the father-in-law of a royal palace was respectful and courteous to him.

Lin Xi nodded, "Rong'er is in the house?" ”

"Yes, but the prince is not very happy, and he is tired of Lin Gongzi coaxing more."

When did the work of coaxing Zhao Xiaoshizi fall on his head? And Zhao Yuanrong was unhappy, he was still worried.

When Lin Xi pushed open the door, he saw Gu's mother kneeling on the ground, as if she was begging Zhao Yuanrong for something, and Mother Qi and Mother Lu, who were standing on the side, also looked vague.

Seeing Lin Xi's arrival, his expressions were stunned and relieved.

Zhao Yuanrong immediately jumped off the chair, hugged his thighs, and said coquettishly with dissatisfaction: "Cousin, why did you come!" ”

"I'm here when it's time to get out of school, what are I doing here?"

Lin Xi is honestly curious, Gu's mother is Zhao Yuanrong's mother, and she is deeply trusted. However, Zhao Jingyi didn't like it and was dissatisfied with Gu's mother spoiling Zhao Yuanrong too much, so she didn't let her follow her to the Yongning Hou Mansion.

Zhao Yuanrong didn't say anything, turned around and ran to the table, only then did Lin Xi see a few exquisite boxes on the table, only to see Zhao Yuanrong hold these boxes, and then walked to him.

Mother Qi and Mother Lu glanced at each other, hesitated and didn't move, they couldn't guess what this prince thought, and they felt that these things were hot, so they hesitated a little.

Dangling seemed to be a little heavy for this small body, Gu's mother got up to help, but Zhao Yuanrong bypassed her.

Lin Xi couldn't look at it, so he could only step forward and take it by himself, Zhao Yuanrong was very relieved when he saw him, "Cousin, we can go back." ”

"You came back to bring these?" Lin Xi somehow felt that the box in his hand had become a little hot.

"yes."

"What is it?"

"A reward for my cousin." Zhao Yuanrong didn't think anything of it at all, and replied crisply, raising his little face very proudly, and said, "My cousin will definitely like it." ”

As soon as Zhao Yuanrong's words fell, the faces of the three mothers in the room changed together.

Seeing this, Lin Xi sighed in his heart, what Zhao Yuanrong gave him was afraid that it was not simple.

The box in his hand immediately became hot, but when he saw Zhao Yuanrong curling the corners of his mouth with a smile, he swallowed it back into his stomach.

Gonggong Cao was still standing in the courtyard, his wrinkled face was still smiling kindly, and he didn't seem to care about what happened in the house, and his eyes didn't even stop on Lin Xi's hand.

just said, "Lord Shizi, if you need to bring anything next time, just order the guards directly." Then he smiled at Lin Xi, "I heard that Lin Gongzi is already teaching Shizi to count, that's really good, and then there are some trivial matters that will have to trouble Lin Gongzi." ”

What trivial matters, Lin Xi doesn't know for the time being, but troublesome things have already come.

In the carriage, Lin Xi opened these boxes, although he had some guesses in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh, how could he be so loved by the prince!

What's inside, Zhao Yuanrong has been a reward from the palace as a royal nobleman over the years.

Aside from the gold and jade devices, there is a thick stack of land deeds in the Grange shop, and there are some small toys that Zhao Yuanrong likes, but they are inlaid with gold and jade, and all kinds of gems are also known to have a price.

He closed the box and said with emotion: "Rong'er, it's too precious." ”

Zhao Yuanrong didn't care about this, he just asked, "Does my cousin like it?" I don't know what reward to give my cousin when I think about it, these are the best things for Rong'er. ”

Like, who doesn't like it!

Lin Xi was crazy in his heart, but he couldn't do it at all!

A bowl of egg noodles is no more than multiple eggs, how can it be compared with these, and it can't be worth eating a bowl and pouring a bowl for a lifetime?

At that moment, Lin Xi strangely wanted to teach Zhao Yuanrong the equivalent conversion, so that this child who does not eat fireworks in the world can learn more about the price level in the capital.

Seeing Lin Xi's distorted face, Zhao Yuanrong, who was still happy, was aggrieved, "Isn't my cousin happy?" ”

My eyes turned red instantly, and I thought about it all night!

Crying, crying, crying!

It is estimated that in this child's heart, the egg noodles he made by himself are really as valuable as these valuable things.

Sincerity for sincerity!

Lin Xi finally sighed and hugged this lovely child into his arms, "Rong'er, what do you want me to do." ”

Both father and son are this virtue, how should he be good.

Zhao Yuanrong blurted out, "Is my cousin married to my father?" ”

“……”

Lin Xi instantly had the urge to look up to the sky and howl.

Good for you, Zhao Jingyi!
