Chapter 005 Preliminary Examination Township Test Lin Jue Zhongjue

Not to mention how the Jia Mansion made a fuss because of the woman Jia Lian brought back, just talk about the Lin family.

Although the ancestors of the Lin family have attacked the marquis, they have long been untitled in Lin Ruhai's generation. However, Lin Ruhai competed for anger, not to mention the flowers in the spring examination in one fell swoop, and even the daughter of the Hou Mansion got married, and the scenery was unmatched for a while. And Lin Ruhai has been working hard in Yangzhou for more than ten years, as the emperor's imperial history of patrolling salt, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and he is the emperor's confidant. Now that Lin Ruhai has both children and daughters, all of them are on their knees, there is nothing unpleasant.

In a flash, it was three years, and in three years, Jiafu seemed to have disappeared suddenly, except for the annual New Year's gifts, there would be a return gift with the ship, and a family member did not come once. Lin Jue was happy to be quiet, but Lin Ruhai was more and more disappointed in the Jia family.

"Jue'er, you should go out as little as possible in the recent period, if you have to go out, you must bring a few more guards to pay attention to safety." Lin Ruhai called Lin Jue and instructed carefully.

"Father, what happened?" Lin Jue has always been careful, and when he heard Lin Ruhai say this, he suddenly felt a warning in his heart.

Lin Ruhai patted Lin Jue's slightly thin but well-proportioned shoulder, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal." There may have been some action above recently, and this is just in case. ”

"Autumn is coming, I happen to be preparing my homework at home, there is a nursing home in the house, and there is no big deal. It's just that my father often has to go out on duty, and with a few more guards with him, my sister and I can rest assured. ”

Knowing that his son was worried about him, Lin Ruhai nodded with a smile, and asked again: "You just tied your hair this year, can you be sure of the end now?" ”

Lin Jue is fifteen this year, but he has always been old, and it is often easy for people to ignore his age. "Mr. said that my article is just getting started, but I can try it hard, and if I can't succeed, I will accumulate experience, and I won't be too flustered next time."

Lin Ruhai nodded, he has never cared much about his son's schoolwork, but his son himself knows how to be motivated, and he, as a father, can only be gratified.

After Lin Jue said this, he really devoted himself to reading and writing. The affairs of the outer courtyard are taken care of by a housekeeper, and he will be informed of major matters and decided by him. Daiyu has been taking over the affairs of the inner courtyard for a year, and Mama Fang has helped from the side, but she has also taken care of it well.

Lin Jue was relieved, but found that he was relieved too early. Daiyu felt sorry for her brother and was worried that he was studying hard, so she asked Master Luo for a recipe to replenish her body, and instructed her small kitchen to stew a bowl of medicinal food for her brother every day.

In the blink of an eye, Qiu Yu arrived, Lin Ruhai couldn't leave because of political affairs, and after listening to Lin Jue's previous words, he didn't have much hope, so he only sent a housekeeper to send Lin Jue to the examination room. It's Daiyu, who has to wait outside the examination room every day, even if she just waits in the carriage, she can't see her brother, but she always feels at ease waiting outside.

Lin Ruhai persuaded twice, and seeing that Daiyu insisted on doing so, he knew that their brother and sister had a good relationship, and there was no one who was unhappy, so he also went with Daiyu. It's just that Lin Jue learned about it after coming out, and scolded Daiyu a few words, but Daiyu was not annoyed, and still blindly stewed supplements for her brother, so Lin Jue didn't dare to say anything else.

After resting at home for a few days, when the big list was posted, the housekeeper Lin Cheng personally took two small servants to see the list, and after a while, he found his uncle's name, and rushed all the way home to report the news. Soon after he returned, an official from the government who had specially reported the good news also came to his home to report the news.

The southern literary style is prevalent, and there are not a few people like Lin Jue who have passed the show at his age, but there are not many people at his age. Although it was not Xie Yuan, he also won a thirty-fifth place, which was really not low, so that Lin Ruhai and Daiyu were happy and didn't know what to do.

It's just that the situation in Yangzhou is not clear yet, so Lin Ruhai only set up a small banquet at home, invited a few familiar families to come over to eat and drink, and the servants in the family all paid two months more monthly money, and the mansion celebrated for one day.

After the township test was released, it was the death day of Lin Jue's biological mother, because her biological mother was corrected by Lin Ruhai after her death, and her body was not buried in the ancestral grave of the Lin family, so Lin Jue donated silver in the temple and set up an immortal tablet for his mother, enjoying the incense offering. Now that Lin Jue has been promoted in the examination, it can be regarded as a small meritorious name, so he naturally wants to reward his ancestors for blessing, so after kneeling down to the ancestors of the Lin family, Lin Ruhai took Lin Jue and Daiyu brothers and sisters to live in the temple.

Daiyu didn't have much ill feeling towards Lin Jue's biological mother and her stepmother, after all, Lin Jue's mother and son had already gone to Zhuangzi when she was born. Until Lin Jue's biological mother died, Lin Jue was taken back to the Lin family, and Daiyu never saw this woman. Daiyu has always boasted of being high-minded, but she is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, she had many misunderstandings about Lin Jue in the past, when her mother was still there, she did not have much contact with Lin Jue, so naturally what her mother said. However, since returning home from Jiafu, in the past three years, Lin Jue's care has been taken care of in every way, she has seen it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, her heart has gradually disappeared, and the brother and sister have a harmonious relationship. Even when Lin Ruhai saw it, he couldn't help but praise Daiyu's general knowledge.

Autumn is high and cool, there is a slight coolness in the morning and evening, but there is still a bit of heat in the south, Lin Ruhai Lin Jue is still a little hot, but Daiyu changed out of her single clothes early and wrapped her cloak to avoid catching a cold.

Xishan Temple is located in the west of Yangzhou City, Xiliang Mountain is a small mountain, there is not much scenery on the mountain, so few people come, the incense of the temple is naturally not vigorous. Lin Jue chose to settle here for his deceased mother, because he was quiet here, and he was able to visit Buddhism here with peace of mind, not to say that he was a monk who had attained the Tao, but he was definitely a person who cultivated his mind without staining everything.

Originally, the place of Qing cultivation was not to entertain female dependents, but this Xishan Temple is an exception, because there are few people in the temple, and it is located on the mountain, there is a special room for hospitality. Usually there are woodcutters who go up the mountain to chop wood, and if it rains or snows, they will also come here to spend the night. Lin Jue is the biggest pilgrim in the temple, he greeted in advance, and the temple deliberately set aside a few side rooms to come out, and the Lin family's subordinates guarded the vicinity to avoid the approaching of idle people and other relatives.

The three members of the Lin family came to incense, Daiyu finally came out for a trip, and caught up with Lin Ruhai to rest, so she decided to stay on the mountain for two more days. Although there is no scenery on Xiliang Mountain, the villagers in the villages at the foot of the mountain are counting on this mountain for firewood for winter, so there are especially many people who go into the mountain to collect firewood at this time. However, there is a large fruit forest around Xishan Temple, which is the private property of Xishan Temple, and most of the expenses in the temple come from this fruit forest, although no one guards it, but few people will come to steal the fruit.

At this time, it is the time when the autumn oranges are ripe, and the golden oranges are hanging all over the tree, and the branches are pressed down and hung down, and you can pick them with a single stretch of your hand. It is rare to have such a wild interest, so Lin Ruhai took his pair of children to pick oranges in the forest.

Naturally, there are mothers-in-law guarding around, but they still haven't stopped the footsteps of a scoundrel.

"Lord Lin is really good Yaxing, I have been in Yangzhou for so long, but I didn't expect Yangzhou to have such a view." The person who came walked as if he was walking in his back garden, and the mother-in-law behind him was startled, and he didn't know when this person appeared.

Lin Jue saw that this strange man was so prominent, and hurriedly protected Daiyu behind him, and Mama Fang had already put on the gauze hat and Daiyu, and protected Daiyu with a few girls.

As soon as Lin Ruhai saw this man, he immediately got up and flicked his sleeves and asked the people who came over to stand down, bowed deeply to the man, and said loudly: "Xiaguan Lin Hai has seen the Twelve Masters. He greeted Lin Jue and Daiyu again, "Come and see the Twelfth Master." ”

Lin Jue glanced at the man, who could be called "master" by Lin Ruhai so politely, thinking that his identity was extraordinary, he pulled Daiyu to stand half a step behind Lin Ruhai, and greeted the twelve masters.

The man lifted Lin Ruhai with both hands, "Lord Lin is always so polite, hurry up and excuse me." He and Lin Ruhai both sat on the bamboo chair, and the man smiled: "I have heard that Lord Lin's children are dragons and phoenixes among people, and when I see them today, I know that the world is honest and does not deceive me." ”

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said modestly: "The Twelfth Master has won the award. ”

The man smiled: "I heard that your son has just passed the township examination, and he is already a person at a young age, and his future is limitless!" ”

Lin Ruhai had to be humble, "The puppy is just a fluke." ”

Lin Jue personally served the tea on the side, and put a plate of freshly picked oranges on the bamboo table. secretly said in his heart: Although this master has already tied his crown, he is not very old.

The twelfth master, Li Yibai, glanced at Lin Jue, who kept peeking at him with his eyes, and smiled lightly, "If it is said that Ling Gongzi is a 'fluke' in the examination, I am afraid that the sour people in the court will hear that they are going to smash the door of Lord Lin's house." ”

Lin Jue pursed his lips and secretly enjoyed himself, and felt that this twelfth master was talking interestingly.

Lin Jue's reaction was all in Li Yibai's eyes, he stretched out his hand to grab Lin Jue, let him sit beside him, and instructed Mama Fang: "With my foreign man present, I don't feel comfortable coming to Miss Lin, so please ask this Mama to send Miss Lin back to the temple first." I came out in a hurry, and I didn't expect to meet the eldest girl, so I didn't prepare a salute, and I will make up for it when I return to Beijing in the future. ”

Lin Ruhai said: "Their children's family, where can they use this, the twelfth master has a heart." ”

Li Yibai smiled silently.

Daiyu confessed, and blessed Lin Ruhai and Lin Jue before leaving with Mama Fang.

When Daiyu walked away, Li Yibai smiled and said: "Ling Qianjinguo has everyone's demeanor, I heard that Lord Lin was a scholar and a noblewoman of Rongguo Mansion back then, which led to a good story." ”

"Neiko is the biological mother of the little daughter Daiyu, and it has been four years now."

There was no difference on the face of the Twelfth Master, but he said, "Xiao Wang is rude." ”

Lin Ruhai didn't want to talk more about Jiafu, so he said, "The Twelfth Master has the emperor's order, why didn't he return to Beijing with Lord Qincha?" ”

Li Yibai is like a human spirit, Lin Ruhai doesn't want to talk about Jiafu, but he has to rush to annoy people, "I originally got a job in the Ministry of Industry, and this time I also came out to wander around, even if I go back a few days later." Speaking of which, Jia Cunzhou, the eldest brother of Lord Lin's Yue family, is also in the Ministry of Industry, and it seems that he is a foreign man of the fifth grade, right? ”

Although he didn't want to mention the Jia family more, when this master asked, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but answer, so he had to say: "Jia Zheng Jia Cunzhou is my uncle's brother-in-law." ”

"It is said that the nephew is like an uncle, and Lin Xiaoju doesn't look like Jia Gongbu," and looked at Lin Ruhai, "He doesn't look like Lord Lin." ”

"The dog Xiao is like his mother." This is also one of the reasons why Jia Min doesn't like Lin Jue, but Lin Jue's temperament is somewhat similar to Lin Ruhai, and he is a gentleman like jade. It's just that a piece has been carved, like scorching moonlight, delicate and warm; A piece has not yet been pondered, with sharp edges and corners, and it is beginning to appear.

Li Yibai became more and more puzzled, "Female official Jia and Mrs. Lin in the palace are aunts and nephews of their relatives, I heard that the two of them have similar faces, I have seen female official Jia once, and they don't look like Lin Xiaoju. ”

There is nothing to hide about this, not to mention that Lin Ruhai doesn't believe that this twelfth master really doesn't know about this matter. However, Lin Ruhai also guessed the reason why this person did not return to Beijing with Qin, but he didn't know if this was what he meant.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Ruhai decided to tell the truth, although this was a bit of an obstacle to Lin Jue, but it would not arouse the suspicion of the higher-ups. Lin Jue is going to take the road of the imperial examination in the future, and it is better to put this matter with the emperor now than to be attacked by someone in the future.

"Xiaguan and his deceased wife have been married for several years, only Daiyu has one daughter, Jue'er was originally from the concubine's room, and she is the concubine of Xiaguan. Because his wife had died, the lower officials had no heart to continue, so he only had one son, so he helped his mother to be the main room. ”

Li Yibai said suddenly: "There is such an inside story, but I am abrupt." ”

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "It's not a secret matter, but if you inquire in Yangzhou City, many people know about it." At that time, Jue'er's biological mother was not very good because of her humble background, and she went to Zhuangzi outside the city to recuperate. ”

"Brother Jue is only fifteen or sixteen this year, right?"

"The student is fifteen years old."

Li Yibai was even more surprised, "I didn't expect that Brother Jue would be so filial at a young age, and now he has a reputation again, and Lord Lin is blessed." ”

Lin Ruhai smiled and said a few words, and it was nearly noon, Lin Ruhai invited Li Yibai to go to Xishan Temple to eat vegetarian food.
