CHAPTER XIII

The Lin family was originally a merchant family, and since ancient times, the status of Shinong industry and commerce, and the status of businessmen is not high, but it seems to be extremely wealthy. People think about change when they are poor, but in fact, when they are rich, they will think about change. Wealthy businessmen look at poor old talents, and their hearts are always extremely unbalanced. The Lin family naturally has this idea. The reason why the status of businessmen is low is because once they enter business, they lose the qualification to take the imperial examination, even if they are imperial merchants, they are also stained with the word business. No matter how big a businessman is, he must bow his head in front of the official. For example, Shen Wansan in the past was no match for the imperial power. The Lin family, where Lin Jinyan was born, has a family foundation after several generations of struggle, and because of the opportunity, it has the capital to engage in politics. This is no accident.

Mrs. Lin is a businessman with a good reputation among the people and the leader of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. The Lin family has accumulated the generation of Old Lady Lin, and there is no shortage of gold and silver. As a result, Mrs. Lin has funded the imperial army since the time of Taizu in the past, and then benefited the township, repairing bridges and paving roads, and that reputation made people give a thumbs up when they mentioned the Lin family. The family business was passed on to the hands of Master Lin, and it was even more carried forward. Master Lin is not only trade, but also since the reign of the first emperor, he has been an example of Jiangnan businessmen, but whenever there is a natural disaster, he will donate clothes and food, and even mobilize all merchants in the chamber of commerce to try not to raise the price of grain. For a long time, the reputation of the Jiangnan generation of businessmen has been quite praised. Among them, the Lin family is especially great. A few years ago, the natural disasters of the Yellow River were followed by the epidemic and then the snow disaster, thanks to the Lin family's exhaustion of half of their family property, there were more than ten county victims. The emperor was also moved, not only gave the plaque of the righteous businessman, but also gave Lin Jinyan this generation, but all the direct children who have not yet entered the merchant can enter the imperial examination. This divine decree simply lit the light for the merchants. Let businessmen understand that even if it is difficult to reach the sky, it is not unattainable. Although other merchants did not receive this grace, many families were also rewarded, and they were all honored. Planning, doing a few big things, in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, to win a few places that can be entered. It is said that the emperor has already thought about it.

The voice of free opposition in the court, but this time everyone saw the credit of the Lin family, even if they spoke out, the emperor also said that the gift was not more than one generation, and the courtiers had no choice but to thunder and rain. The Lin family has done good things, and they are kind to the world, and whoever wants to oppose it too fiercely is afraid of being struck by lightning. It is not uncommon for businessmen to enter politics, such as Lu Buwei, Fan Li, etc., but no one believes that the Lin family will be like their predecessors after entering politics, after all, the times are different and the circumstances are different.

The Lin family was overjoyed, and other businessmen were all envious. The Lin family's family style is quite positive, they saw the opportunity and hit it with one blow. The son of the Lin family has no talent for business since he was a child, but he knows four books and five classics. The Lin family was all emotionally moved because of their identity. I didn't expect pie to fall from the sky. When the decree was given, the whole family wept with joy. Because of the reputation of the Lin family, the Lin family worshiped the great Confucian, worked hard, and finally won the Xiucai fame at the age of 30. Because the time has not yet arrived, it has been postponed for three years to try again. If he succeeds, he will be a man, and he will have the capital to be an official.

Xiucai is nothing to the autumn of each year, but to Shangjia, it is one in a million. Looking at the great country of Qianyuan, there has never been a talented man who has come out of the home of a businessman. Although the Lin family did not put a flowing water banquet along the street to celebrate, it was also a lively family for two days. Lin Dayun was taught very well by Master Lin, but Xiucai, people often say that poor Xiucai and rich people naturally have a reason. Of course, Lin Dalang's goal is not just to raise people, he wants the whole clan to be proud of him, and he wants to earn a phoenix crown for his wife. Lin Dalang's wife was carefully selected by Master Lin, not a businessman who was a well-connected businessman, but an official lady who was relegated to a small county in the south of the Yangtze River to become a county official because of the rapids in the middle of the country. Because she is a woman, and the Lin family has a good reputation, and the Lin family said that only when there are no children can they have concubines and have sex with them, then the official family is willing to marry their daughter to the Lin family. Unexpectedly, when the time came, the official lady thought that she would also have a destiny in the future, and the fate of her children might also change, so she cried bitterly. Then, take out the generosity and grandeur of the official lady. Lin Dalang was all impressed by Master Lin's original decision. If you are an official in the future, and your wife is too small, it will not be suitable.

Three years ago, Lin Dalang gave it a try, and his fortune was the first, and he was lifted, and for a while, the Lin family was in the market. Lin Dalang made persistent efforts, but in the spring of the following year, Sun Shan's name fell. However, Lin Dalang was not discouraged. He wasn't sure about it that year, but he went through the motions and experienced it. The fall off the list is also expected. This year's autumn and the next year's spring are his real goals.

There are also collateral relatives in the Lin family who pass their children and grandchildren to their direct family for the sake of their children's and grandchildren's future, borrow an identity, and enter the academy to study, hoping to change their identity. Although there are one or two who have won the show, they are not as good as Lin Dalang. But not many people give up. The imperial examination itself is not an easy task. Even if you are a talented person in the fifty or sixty years, the courtyard is also a new look. This is due to the whole social environment.

Lin Jinyan has been smart since he was a child, but his cleverness is not only in reading, but also in practicing martial arts. Lin Jinyan thought about it, in addition to the literary and martial arts of the Qianyuan State every three years. However, his master said that if he was not in the top three in the martial arts examination, he must not say that he was the apprentice of his Xuan Zhenzi, and said that he could not afford to lose people.

Lin Jin was speechless. There are tens of thousands of people in this world, and it is not easy to do this, and this martial arts is not simple. You must know that there are people in the human world, and there are heavens outside the sky. Lin Jinyan never dared to be too arrogant. He practiced martial arts because he liked to practice martial arts, and he was not afraid of hardship. If you really want to take the martial arts test, it is good to have a ranking, but if you fail to pass the test, it just means that he is not good enough. Nothing must be certain, he didn't dare to say.

People say: Learn to become a literary and martial arts and the emperor's family. He doesn't have this mind yet, he wants to take a good look at the mountains and rivers of this Qianyuan country. When a person is a teenager, he needs to travel thousands of miles to live up to the growth of this life. Sitting in a well and watching the sky is the best choice. That would only limit my horizons. is his eldest brother, the Lin family, when he was young, he also went out with his father Lin family, and he saw the prosperity of the world and was sad. Without an article of experience, even Huazao is empty. This is the life experience of Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin's descendants of the Lin family.

The above stories were all learned by Li Shaoqing later, and now Li Shaoqing is still young, but his memories make him not a simple child.

Li Shaoqing likes beauties, and now he is a child, so he can stare at beauties unscrupulously.

"Brother!" After holding it for a long time, Li Shaoqing finally called the second person.

Hearing this, Li Kaijiang was very surprised.

Zhao was overjoyed: "Xiao Yu will call people." Call grandma. ”

After holding it for a long time, his face was red, but Li Shaoqing still didn't hold back the word grandma.

Zhao is not angry, he is happy. It's okay, kids, they'll call themselves one day. But it's a matter of priority.

"Brother!" Li Shaoqing looked at Lin Jinyan pitifully.

Lin Jinyan saw a pink dumpling, his eyes were dark, and he looked at himself pitifully like a puppy. The baby's fat little face looks very cute and pleasing, Lin Jinyan couldn't think of a word to describe his feelings after thinking about it for a long time, if Li Shaoqing knew, he would probably sue him, then the feeling was - cute!

Stretching out his arms, Li Shaoqing begged for a hug.

I'm so cute, can you bear to refuse?!

CHAPTER XIV

Li Shaoqing is very confident in his excellent appearance. This cute smile that kills thousands of seconds, who else can be more handy than him. Looking at the beauty opposite, Li Shaoqing was bound to win. He can't do anything if he's a little kid, but it's not difficult to be pro-American.

Lin Jinyan looked at the three-headed body opposite, and his heart was still soft. He is the eldest in the family and the darling of everyone. When he was a child, he was hugged and pinched by his older brothers and sisters. However, when he is older and the governor, he does not like this feeling very much. In addition, because of his outstanding appearance, he was almost abducted by a kidnapper, Lin Jinyan has not liked to laugh since he was a child, and his vigilance against people is also high. Because his family is spoiled, he looks casual, but Lin Jinyan's three views are still very upright. It's not unbearable to treat people, such as his family's unreliable master.

The Lin family also has many children, Lin Jinyan's eldest nephew is even a year older than him, of course, more are younger than Lin Jinyan, and there are also those who are as old as Li Shaoqing. But none of them are as cute and good-looking as Li Shaoqing. Li Shaoqing is the best-looking child Lin Jinyan has seen so far. And it's not annoying, it's very well-behaved, and it likes to laugh. Compared to his nephews and nieces who howl at every turn and make people's brains hurt, they are really much cute.

Well! It's not impossible to hug.

The grandmother beside Zhao was very eye-catching, holding his little young master, and put it down two or three steps away from Lin Jinyan. Lin Jinyan also squatted down and signaled that Li Shaoqing could come over.

Li Shaoqing couldn't be happier.

swayed and swayed, a few steps were full of dangers, and finally, he threw himself into Lin Jinyan's arms again and again. Lin Jinyan picked up Li Shaoqing, and then returned to his seat. Li Shaoqing stood on his legs. Lin Jinyan didn't dare to be careless, and supported Li Shaoqing's waist and legs. Li Shaoqing was happy, rubbing Lin Jinyan's neck and rubbing it around. A toddler's skin is as smooth and tender as an egg with a peeled shell, and it's a nasty touch.

Li Guogong and his wife, Xuan Zhenzi, and the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion on the side all smiled when they watched the interaction between the two. The people all thought that his little young master was likable.

pinched the little face of the three-headed body, it felt really good, and it didn't slip away. So, Lin Jinyan gave a rare smile.

The beauty smiled at me! Looking closely, the impact was so great that Li Shaoqing felt dizzy. Holding the face of baby fat and self-absorbed.

Looking at the stupid appearance of the little cute baby, Lin Jinyan felt that the child didn't seem to be so annoying.

Strike while the iron is hot! Well! Hurry up! On –

Kiss~~~~

Lin Jinyan felt that his cheeks were a little warm, and he was stunned.

What happened?!

This little chubby baby actually kissed herself.

I smiled proudly, I smiled proudly, the beauty was kissed by me~~~~~~ The sourness in my heart is really indescribable!

Lin Jinyan felt that the little fat baby's smile was a bit of an eyesore, so he poked the little fat baby's cheek hard. The little chubby baby is still laughing.

Damn boy!

wiped his face with some disgust, and there was still saliva! So, it's still very annoying to be a child or something.

"Brother!" Li Shaoqing was already able to pronounce it very clearly.

"Piggy!" Lin Jinyan said.

The little pig is the little pig, the beauty calls me the little pig, and I am also happy. Li Shaoqing was a little stunned.

"Brother!" Li Shaoqing continued to rub the face of the beauty and take advantage.

Lin Jinyan can't really care about children, seeing that this little fat baby seems to like him very much, he is also very helpless! The group of little children in his family, he ran away with a cold face! It's like this one hanging on his body, this powerful kraft candy, and he dares to kiss him.

Xuan Qingzi felt that there was nothing bad. His apprentice is too strict and not cute at all. Although she is as beautiful as a flower, it is sad that no one wants to be close! It seems that the kid of Li Guogong's family is destined for his apprentice!

If Lin Jinyan knew, he would have said: "It's a fart!" ”

Li Guogong left for dinner, Xuan Qingzi pretended to resign, Li Shaoqing heard it, and immediately graciously retained, the most prominent expression was that Lai refused to come down on Lin Jinyan's body. In the end, it was Lin Jinyan who tore it off by himself. Li Shaoqing looked at Lin Jinyan with an aggrieved expression, which made Lin Jinyan suddenly feel guilty.

"Brother!" Pitifully, Li Shaoqing poked his little finger and looked at Lin Jinyan.

When Lin Jinyan heard this, he felt that his head hurt.

Xuan Qingzi didn't plan to leave, but when he saw this situation, he stayed after a few resignations with Li Kaijiang, he stayed, and Lin Jinyan naturally stayed.

Oh yes \(^o^)/~~~ Great! Li Shaoqing danced with his hands and smiled, smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

I'm so happy to leave the little chubby baby! Lin Jinyan thought it was incredible.

Li Tuotu did not stop going to the academy because his parents brought their children into the palace. On the contrary, he was more focused. The eldest sons of his family are all saints, and their steps are ahead. As a father, he naturally has to catch up. Therefore, Li Tuotu did not come back when Li Guogong and the others came back. Li Pingchuan and others, because the eldest brother did not enter the hall, it is difficult for them to take the lead.

When Li Tuotu returned, Xuan Zhenzi and his apprentice went to the inn to check out. The Lin family has a big business, and Gyeonggi also has a mansion, of course, it is naturally not comparable to the Guogong Mansion. When Lin Jinyan settled down at the inn, he also informed the people of Lin Mansion in Gyeonggi. Now his master wants to live in the Guogong Mansion, and he naturally has to stay, and it is also a good thing to be friendly with the Guogong Mansion. Although Lin Jinyan is not in business, as a member of the Lin family, he will not fail to help. The Lin family knew that the little master of their family was going to live in the Guogong Mansion, and they also prepared gifts and commonly used things for him.

In the evening, Li Tuotu and his wife Murong came to Li Guogong and his wife, Li Pingchuan, Li Chenglin and others also arrived, and everyone saw Xuan Zhenzi. Fortunately, Lin Jinyan prepared in advance, so he didn't lose his courtesy. Lin Jinyan also got a lot of gifts because of his young age, and he didn't shirk and accepted them generously. Everyone also has a good impression of this beautiful teenager.

Li Kaijiang and Zhao doted on Li Shaoqing, and let Li Shaoqing sit beside him when eating, because Li Shaoqing was well-behaved, so it was not difficult to feed at all, which was also the reason why Li Guogong and his wife liked Li Shaoqing. None of their children were so well-behaved when they were young.

was seated, but Li Shaoqing patted his seat and stared at Lin Jinyan and shouted: "Brother! With his eyes, he motioned for Lin Jinyan to sit beside him.

"Shaoqing!" Knowing that the emperor gave him a name, Li Tuotu was honored and honored, which can be said to be a pleasant surprise. But it doesn't mean that Li Shaoqing can be presumptuous in front of him, and Li Tuotu, who should be educated, will not fall behind at all. Even more so than before. After all, the son's name has an extraordinary origin.

As soon as Li Shaoqing heard his father's scolding, he pursed his lips and turned his head to look at his grandfather. In this family, Grandpa Guo is the biggest!

Seeing his son's appearance, Li Tuotu was so angry! You said that this little kid knows how to use the old man to suppress his old man. This clever one is crooked, okay?

Xuan Zhenzi and Lin Jinyan watched Coke from the side. They had never seen a smarter child than Li Shaoqing. Even angry people are so cute, I really don't know what to say.

"Alright, alright! Boss, Xiaobi is still young. ”

"If Brother Lin doesn't mind, just sit next to Xiao Yu!"

Well, when the Duchess spoke, Li Tuotu immediately shut up and glared at his son, Li Pingchuan and Li Chenglin looked at each other, and they both felt funny. His eldest nephew really has a hand. It seems that his eldest brother will have a headache in the future.

As soon as Lin Jinyan sat down, Li Shaoqing was suddenly refreshed and clapped his hands happily. Li Tuotu was even more angry when he saw his son's appearance.

Li Shaoqing is still young and can't eat anything, Lin Jinyan watched a child eat for the first time. With a small bib, eating rice and egg custard. From time to time, he babbled and spoke the language of the Fire Planet to the dishes during the banquet, and sighed for a while, his expression was very changeable, and Lin Jinyan thought it was also very interesting.

Compared with Lin Jinyan's taste, Li Tuotu was a little unable to swallow. He also likes his little boy very much, but he thinks that his son is too embarrassed, he doesn't eat or sleep or anything, his son can make a fuss at the dinner table, which is completely favored by his father and mother! But when he grows up and goes out, he will still be like this, and others will definitely have to talk about him. When he gets the opportunity, he must educate this kid well.

Murong naturally didn't care about her son's behavior, her son now had a big face for her, she was too late to be happy, how could she be harsh on his son. She felt that her son must be the smartest child in the world, not one of them.

The next day, an even bigger surprise landed in the Guogong Mansion.
