Chapter 166

Lin Siming was going to see Ye Chengze on the second day, and Lin Miaoyin didn't want him to be distracted by the Lin family's affairs, so she set the day after tomorrow for the visit. After the two discussed, Lin Siming left Lin Miaoyin's room with a heavy heart and returned to his room.

Sitting down at the table at will, there was already a small servant lighting a fire candle, under the yellow candlelight, Lin Siming's expression was solemn, and the scholar Shi Qiu did not dare to disturb, he stood aside honestly, and secretly looked at Lin Siming from time to time, secretly anxious in his heart. Uncle is going to see Mr. Ye tomorrow, he still hasn't slept at this point, what should he do if he is not in good spirits tomorrow? But the uncle's face was so scary, he didn't dare to persuade him.

Lin Siming's mind was disordered, Lin Ruhai's elegant figure became clearer and clearer in his mind, even if he still hated him, he had to admit that he was very proud to be his son. It was supposed to be his father, but because of that poisonous woman, he was unrecognized by his father, and his mother cried all day long, which is really hateful! He slapped the table hard, and made up his mind that even if he wanted to recognize his biological father, he couldn't just go back. He must be the head of the high school, and trample the son of the poisonous woman under his feet, and make his father beg to confess him. At that time, he has some reason, and he will be able to avenge his mother.

I have to say, teenager, you really think too much. Even if you are really Lin Ruhai's own son, you are just a concubine, your mother is not even an aunt, you are also a servant child, only a little taller than the outer room, and you are so confident.

Lin Siming made up his mind with great ambition, and then thought that he was going to visit Mr. Ye tomorrow morning, and he had to show all his level, the best state, and he must let Mr. Ye accept him. When he came back to his senses, he found that it was getting late, he was a little annoyed, and shouted to Shi Qiu: "Why didn't you remind me earlier!" ”

Shi Qiu has always known the character of this master, and he doesn't like his subordinates to defend himself, even if he scolds him wrong. You have to be honest with your training. He hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake, "It's all the villain's fault." ”

"Alright, alright, get up." Lin Siming said impatiently, "Don't go to fetch water yet, wait for me to wash." ”

Shi Qiu hurriedly got up, opened the door and went out, and asked the next person to go to fetch boiling water, and he himself came in to serve. After some hecticism, Lin Siming was finally allowed to lie on the bed, and the clothes were rolled up on the footbed next to the bed. I wrapped myself in a thin quilt and slept improvised.

In the middle of the night, there was a light rain, Lin Rui got up early in the morning, pushed open the window, the cool and warm air came to his face, and between his nose and mouth, it was full of fragrance, but it was the rose in the courtyard. The noise is loud and lively.

The roses in full bloom, red or white, are sweet and gorgeous, and carry the raindrops that have not dried in the morning. When Lin Rui saw it, he was interested, took the bamboo scissors himself, and came to the flower stand. Carefully cut more than 20 flowers, and carefully removed the thorns, respectively, with two small bamboo baskets. Called the original girl in Izumo Pavilion and instructed, "Send it to the wife and girl." ”

The girl took it with a smile, and bent her knees at Lin Rui before getting up and leaving.

In Lanyue Xuan, Daiyu also got up, and listened to the girl who was waiting for her to say that it was raining last night, so she hurriedly asked someone to push open the window, and a fresh air came to her face, which made her take a deep breath and smile: "It's finally refreshed after boring these days." ”

In Lanyue Xuan, the green bamboo becomes a forest, at this time it is just dawn, the bamboo leaves are especially hung with raindrops, Daiyu looks interesting, just leaning on the bamboo couch in front of the window, stunned to look at it non-stop.

Daiyu's personal big girl Jinshu wanted to come over to persuade her, so she saw a third-class girl in the courtyard, and took a closer look, but it was in the Izumo Pavilion, holding a delicate small basket made of bamboo, which contained more than a dozen roses. Jin Shuwei condensed and knew that it must have been sent by the uncle to his own girl. It's funny to say, my own girl loves Qingzhu very much, and when she spends the night in the yard, she often lives in Lanyue Xuan. And the uncle, but he likes roses very much, every summer, he comes to live in the garden, but he often chooses Izumo Pavilion, just to love a rose in the courtyard. These two brothers and sisters have different preferences from other sons' sons and daughters, but they don't care at all, and only act according to their own will.

"Girl, the uncle has sent someone to deliver something." Jin Shu smiled and said in the past, and Daiyu naturally saw it. In the courtyard, the spring goose greeted her early, and the girl smiled very sweetly, "Sister, this is picked by the uncle himself, so I asked to send it to the girl quickly." ”

Chun Yan hurriedly took it and said with a smile: "The girl just got up, and was thinking about the roses in the uncle's yard, but she coincidentally sent them." As he spoke, he let the man into the house.

Daiyu got up and sat in front of the dressing table and instructed Su Yue, "Open the cabinet and give her a hundred dollars." ”

Su Yue answered and went to get the key, and at this time the girl had already come in, standing at the door with a well-behaved hand. Daiyu said with a smile: "You ran around early in the morning, and you have to go back and tell my brother, thank you for your trouble." ”

The girl hurriedly smiled and said that she knew that she had said, and then slowly retreated from the main room, Su Yue took the money, sent her out, and put the purse into her hand, "Our girl said, in the morning, I'm tired of you, let's buy fruit to eat with this money." ”

The girl took the purse, felt a little pressing, and was happy in her heart, until she returned to Izumo Pavilion, and the smile on her face had not fallen. Lin Rui had already punched once, sweating slightly, and was wiping his face with a handkerchief. She hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Back to the uncle, the flowers have been sent to the girl." The girl said, thank you for your trouble. ”

Lin Rui nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. The girl, not daring to say more, quietly retreated. His eyes secretly fell on Lin Rui, and he sighed secretly in his heart, his uncle must be born and educated, and he must be educated, and he is born very well, and I don't know how many girls in the family are secretly in love. It's a pity that the girl is never enlarged in the uncle's room, but occasionally comes to the garden to enjoy the shade, and the people around him are all grandmothers who have accumulated years, and they never use the girl to enter the body. His eyes have never been on the girl, and he has let down a group of girls who are like flowers in their prime.

Now in the Lin family, if you want to get ahead, one is by the wife's side, and the other is the girl's courtyard, in addition, the master and the uncle don't think about it. There is that high-minded, and I don't know how many people have been beaten out in the past few years.

Where is the main courtyard, Jia Min got up in the morning to make up, because he didn't have much to do today, and he didn't plan to see anyone, he only took two jasper hairpins, personally chose two pink rose hairpins on the side of his hair, looked sideways in the mirror, and showed a satisfied smile.

Seeing that the cherry who was dressing up for Jia Min was in a good mood, she teased: "It's still the uncle's filial piety, and he even thinks about his wife with a flower." ”

Jia Min smiled, obviously very fond of hearing this.

As he was talking, Lin Rui and Daiyu came over to say goodbye. Jia Min asked the two, knowing that there was no need to eat, so he hurriedly sent someone to urge the kitchen.

Lin Ruhai also came back after morning exercise, and when he saw that his children had come, he smiled and said, "You can get up early." Then he coaxed the two of them: "You are young and sleepy, tonight is a short day and a long day, and it is okay to sleep more." ”

When Jia Min heard it inside, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, her husband is a stupid father in the world, and he will encourage his children to sleep lazy.

Early morning at the Lin family. It's no different from the past, the family had breakfast, Lin Ruhai went to work, Lin Rui and Daiyu brothers and sisters went to school, one was outside the house and the other was in the house. Jia Min sent her husband and children away, and took someone to handle the housework.

When Lin Rui went out in the morning, he felt his eyelids jump vigorously, and he couldn't help but reach out and rub them. The little guy who followed him hurriedly came over and asked, "Uncle, but you accidentally lost your eyes?" You can't rub it with your hands, you can blow the small ones. ”

Lin Rui waved his hand, "It's fine." "Finished. turned over and got on the horse and led people to Ye's house.

In the morning, after reading two books, someone came to the newspaper and said that someone was asking to see Mr. with a sticker. Ye Chengze took the sticker. After glancing at it, he commanded without thinking: "Call him in, bring people here." The little servant took the order and left. He thought about it. He said, "Stop for a while, there's a student coming over." ”

As soon as Lin Rui and the three of them heard it, they knew that someone wanted to worship the teacher, and the teacher wanted to give him a try. It's just that I don't know who has such a big face and can talk about Mr. Dong. When he accepted Lin Rui before, Mr. said that Lin Rui was a closed disciple and would no longer accept apprentices in the future.

After about a quarter of an hour, the steward of the Ye family brought in a blue-shirted young man in his twenties. When the young man saw Ye Chengze, he bowed down steadily, and his voice was clear, "Student Lin Siming, I've seen Mr. Ye." ”

Lin Rui was stunned, is he Lin Siming? He couldn't help but look at the person in front of him carefully, with handsome eyebrows and a good temperament. It's just that the figure is a little thin, and there is a sense of weakness. In general, it is very delicate to be born, and it is difficult for people to have bad feelings.

However, how can he act so rudely if he looks like a person who understands. Lin Rui didn't have to think about it, he knew what they were going to visit Lu's house as soon as they entered Yangzhou. He sneered slightly, not to mention how you are learned, just looking at your actions, it is impossible for Mr. to accept it.

Last time Lin Rui apprenticed, Ye Chengze tested it privately. Lin Siming visited today, but the three of them were present at the same time, and they understood what Mr. meant.

Sure enough, Ye Chengze asked Lin Siming a few questions, and then came up with a question, so that Lin Siming and Lin Rui wrote a strategy at the same time.

Lin Siming thought very well last night, but as soon as he saw Lin Rui, his mind fluctuated a little. When they heard that Ye Chengze had a problem, they asked the four of them to write a strategy at the same time, and they were immediately high-spirited, determined to write an article that overwhelmed several people, and let Mr. Ye see his level.

Because Ye Chengze only had three apprentices, there were no extra tables and chairs available in the study, so the steward hurriedly took a few small servants, opened the warehouse and moved over a set. It's just a Huanghuali cabinet in the house, but the new set brought in is made of red sandalwood, which is very out of place in the house.

Lin Siming's eyes sank, and he secretly clenched his fist. He stabilized his mind, first saluted Mr. Ye, and then bowed to Lin Rui before sitting down. Laying paper, grinding ink, and the idea begins in my head.

About an hour later, Lin Rui and the three of them handed in the papers, Ye Chengze read them one by one, and pointed at Lin Rui with a smile: "I know that this article is simple and unpretentious, and it is quite ancient." What is rare is that there is something to say, unique insights, and there is no room for imagination. ”

Lin Rui has been apprenticed for eight years, but he has only heard Mr. praise more than a dozen times, and he is happy at the moment.

Ye Chengze smiled slightly, pointed to the other two articles, and said: "It's not bad, but it's just that it attaches too much importance to gorgeousness, and it is not concise and practical enough." ”

Su and He both bowed their heads to be taught, and the three brothers took each other's strategies, looked at them carefully, and then discussed softly.

Lin Siming, seeing that the three of them had finished working, but he still had a third left, he was a little anxious in his heart, and after hearing Ye Chengze praise Lin Rui, his mood was even more fluctuating. He quietly took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and turned his attention to the text again, and it took about half an hour before he could finish writing. After picking it up and reading it from beginning to end, he was extremely satisfied, and after carefully taking the paper and copying it again, he held it in both hands and respectfully placed it on Ye Chengze's bookcase, and then stood solemnly with his hands down.

Ye Chengze picked it up and glanced at it, his brows furrowed slightly, and the more he looked closely, the deeper the wrinkle became. Lin Siming had been secretly watching Ye Chengze's expression, and his brows furrowed. The heart was also raised.

After a while, Ye Chengze threw the paper in his hand casually, and said in a deep voice: "Don't say it, blindly pursue gorgeous words, and use some rare words to show your talent." Let's just say that your arguments are all utopian and have no practical use at all. This is even an unsightly word. After speaking, he looked at Lin Siming, who was pale, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Go back, you don't have to come back in the future. "This is a clear statement, not only the disciples who entered the room, but even the registered disciples refused to accept it.

Lin Siming gritted his teeth hard, stepped forward with difficulty to put away his strategy, insisted on giving Ye Chengze a salute, and turned around and left silently. In order to be able to suppress Lin Rui, he deliberately made something new, but he didn't expect it. and lost on this novelty. As for his words, Lin Siming thinks it's very good, how can he get Mr. Ye's "unsightly" comment. He was very unconvinced, and he really wanted to ask Lin Ruice to take a look. But self-esteem didn't allow it, and finally had to go home silently.

In the Dongsheng Inn, Lin Miaoyin was waiting for Lin Siming's good news. When I saw him come in in a lost spirit, he immediately screamed. Hurriedly asked someone to help Lin Siming sit down. It made tea again.

In the faint fragrance of tea, Lin Siming said bitterly: "Sister, I have disappointed your expectations for my brother." ”

Lin Miaoyin said with a smile: "Mr. Ye is known as a madman. If it weren't for my brother's value on him, I would have to worship him, and I wouldn't have advocated my brother to worship him as a teacher at that time. There are many famous teachers in Jiangnan, and the most famous one is Mr. Li Yuan Li among the disciples. He is worse than Mr. Ye, but he doesn't have a great Confucian as a master, and the rest are even worse. ”

"Mr. Ye taught his disciples that it was all up to his own likes and dislikes, and at most he would teach a famous scholar to come out, and the imperial examination would be a complete failure. Mr. Li is different, he has dozens of disciples, and there are three champions alone. One of them, in the same realm as Uncle Lin. According to me, since my brother has the heart to take the imperial examination, it is really better to worship under Mr. Li. ”

Lin Siming was originally full of resentment, but his grievances were eliminated by Lin Miaoyin's words, and then he nodded frequently, "It's all for my brother, and my sister is so tired that I worry about me." ”

Lin Miaoyin smiled lightly, "I understand my brother's thoughts, but I just don't want to be compared." However, my brother is still wrong, among the students, I still see the ranking of the imperial examination and the development of officials in the future, and it is really not enough to mention the master. ”

Lin Siming got up and shook Lin Miaoyin to the end: "I have been taught for my brother." ”

Lin Miaoyin smiled and dodged, blinking playfully: "Brother has a good rest today, I just asked people to pay a tribute, and tomorrow we will go to Uncle Lin's house to meet him." ”

Lin Siming's expression was slightly gloomy, and when he saw his sister's concerned gaze, he smiled slightly, "My sister doesn't have to worry about me, even if he wants to return to the sect, he has to come and beg me." ”

Lin Miaoyin smiled, "It's good that my brother has this ambition." ”

"I will make that poisonous woman pay the price and seek justice for my mother." Lin Siming clenched his fists.

Lin Miaoyin nodded hurriedly, "Aunt Bi is too bitter, she wants to seek justice." ”

Lin Miaoyin's nurse didn't like this, but in front of the uncle, there were some things that were not easy to say, and when she returned to the room, she said to Lin Miaoyin: "Girl, the uncle's biological mother is just a girl who has a roommate, that is, Lord Lin has recognized this son, and she can only be an aunt." And Lord Lin has a concubine, how could he reprimand the original wife for the sake of the uncle's mother and son. "It's impossible at all, okay, with a father like Lin Ruhai, even if the eldest son of the Lin family is an ordinary person, his future will only be much better than his own uncle. What's more, the name of the Lin family's wisdom is all over the south of the Yangtze River, and there are two great Confucians as teachers, and he is still a brother-in-law with the prince, so he has an infinite future. What can your own uncle fight with others? If you know each other, go to Lord Lin to cry about your grievances, arouse Lord Lin's father-son feelings, recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors as soon as possible, what to toss around.

Lin Miaoyin's pretty face sank, "Nurse, I don't want to hear this from now on." ”

When the nurse saw that Lin Miaoyin was angry, she didn't dare to say more, and slowly stood aside.

Soft Luo came over with tea, put it in Lin Miaoyin's hand, and said with a smile: "Mom is too worried, with the knowledge of our family, in the future, when I go to Beijing to take the exam, I will definitely win the top prize." With the character of our uncle, maybe the saint will marry as a princess. At that time, our uncle will be a colt, and he can't take revenge. ”

You've heard a lot of jokes, haven't you? Or maybe it's cranky. The nurse couldn't say that Lin Miaoyin could still control the girl around her, and her face sank at the moment, "Shut up, the saint and the princess are also what you can say!" ”

Soft Luo was drunk by the nurse and lowered his head, but he was not convinced. Lin Miaoyin opened her mouth, "Mom, don't be angry, let's just talk about it in private, and it won't spread out." Moreover, there is not necessarily anything wrong with Jora's words. ”

The nurse hurriedly said, "How old is the saint's princess?" "Nima, they are all born to low-level concubines, and even they know the Tao as far away as Jiangnan, and none of them are valued.

Lin Miaoyin smiled slightly, "There is also the princess of the first emperor." "Those are old enough, the saint wants a good reputation, and he will choose a good colt for these sisters. In this world, what is more worthy of a princess than a young and handsome champion.

The nurse stopped talking, and secretly thought in her heart that when she got home, she must tell her wife to invite a nurturing grandmother to come and teach the girl. There are also those messy scenes, which can't be watched by the girl anymore. Listen, what is this all about!

Lin Miaoyin felt that she was right, wasn't it written in the drama and in the books. There must be facts before they can be made up. Since it had happened before, it couldn't have happened to his brother.

Where is the Lin family, Jia Min finished handling the family affairs and drank a cup of iced sour soup, and the steward sent a post over. She casually opened it to take a look, smiled, and said to herself, "Finally I have time to remember that we are here." ”

When Lin Ruhai and Lin Rui came back in the evening, Jia Min mentioned the matter and said with a smile: "Finally, it's our turn to be received." ”

Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows, not to be sure. Lin Rui said: "Brother Ming went to visit Mr. today, and after trying an article, he hid his face and left. ”

Jia Min was happy, "I said why they just entered Yangzhou, so they couldn't wait to post to the Lu family, but it turned out to be for this." ”

Lin Rui said: "Mr. has always been strict in his comments, especially in front of me, I am afraid that it will make Brother Ming embarrassed." ”

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "It's your ability to be better than him, don't worry about others." ”

Lin Rui: "......" Where am I worried about him, I'm obviously happy, okay? If you have to worry, you should worry about yourself.

Jia Min hurried to her worried daughter and embarrassed son, "Let's go back to sleep, it's the two juniors who came, and you have to accompany me." ”

While talking, on the second day, Lin Ruhai still went to the yamen, Lin Rui took leave, and Hou was at home. In the middle of the morning, the family came to report that Lin Miaoyin and Lin Siming had arrived.

Jia Min looked at the book, didn't raise his head, and instructed his son and daughter, "You go to greet me on my behalf." ”

Lin Rui and Daiyu responded, and the brother and sister took a group of girls and mothers-in-law to welcome them to the Neiyi Gate. I saw Lin Miaoyin, who was dressed in a light blue dress, and Lin Siming, who was wearing a moon-white gown, walked over under the guidance of the housekeeper.

Lin Rui took a step forward and bowed his hand, "Brother Ming." ”

Lin Siming did a night of mental construction, and when he saw Lin Rui again, he was finally able to show a light and breezy expression, and returned the salute: "Brother Rui." ”

Lin Miaoyin walked slowly, looked at Daiyu, and lightly opened her lips, "This is Sister Daiyu." ”

Daiyu was slightly stunned, the brothers were talking, why did they have to wait for a while, why did she come out and interject. I was puzzled, but I smiled and said, "I've seen Sister Miao." ”

Lin Miaoyin smiled lightly: "The four sisters in the family are all named after the wonderful character, Sister Daiyu still calls me Sister Yin." ”

Daiyu nodded in response, and blessed herself slightly, and gave Lin Siming a salute. Lin Rui said: "My mother is waiting, come in with me." ”

Since Lin Siming entered the Lin Mansion, he had some thoughts that did not belong, and he talked to Lin Rui while looking at this mansion. Exquisite and gorgeous, one step at a time, extremely ingeniously built. Looking at the people in the house, they are all neatly dressed and behaved in a well-behaved manner, showing the heritage of the prince's house.

The girl named Daiyu was only six or seven years old, and she was born with picturesque eyebrows, graceful appearance, good speech and demeanor, and a slender posture, but she had a natural and amorous attitude. Another example is Lin Rui, with his gestures, revealing a noble atmosphere. If he had grown up in the Lin family since he was a child, he would have been a hundred times stronger than Lin Rui. At this point, hatred is reborn. (To be continued......)
