Chapter 34: Clan Bonds
This is the third time Lin Zhao has seen the head of the Lin family, Lin Sizheng.
Lin Sizheng is over sixty years old this year, he is the eldest son of Lin Zhao's grandfather's generation, inherited most of the Lin family's family business, and is naturally the patriarch of the Lin family in Yuezhou.
A big family of thousands of people can sit in the position of the head of the family, firstly, it cannot be too generous, and secondly, it cannot be too mean, so the last time Lin Zhao saw Lin Sizheng, he happily gave Lin Zhao the qualification to enter the family school.
Later, because Lin Zhao's eldest mother, Zhang, went to the Lin family to make peace, because of the family's face, Lin Sizheng drove Lin Zhao out just one day later.
At this time, the two met again, and this old man Lin was a little embarrassed.
After all, that kind of situation at that time, whether to catch up or not to rush was between Lin Sizheng's thoughts.
If Lin Jian hadn't intervened and came in, this matter would have passed.
Lin Zhao stepped forward and saluted Lin Sizheng: "Lin Zhao has seen the eldest master. ”
Before Lin Zhao arrived, Lin Jian had already communicated with Lin Sizheng for a while, and Lin Sizheng's face immediately showed a smile, and he said with a smile: "It's all my own family, I don't need to see each other like this, San Lang still calls Bozu." ”
Lin Zhao's grandfather, Lin Siyuan, is his fourth brother.
At that time, he was "humiliated" in the Lin family, in the final analysis, because of the eldest mother Zhang, although the Lin family also had some mistakes, but after all, there was no big mistake, at this time, Lin Sizheng took the initiative to show favor to him, and he had already given a step, Lin Zhao couldn't look up and say to him like a stunned young man, "Don't bully the young man to be poor."
At this time, Lin Zhao, although there has been some improvement compared to before, is still not very remarkable compared to the Yuezhou Lin family.
People gave the steps, and this matter was revealed.
Therefore, Lin Zhao immediately bowed his head and said, "I've seen Bozu." ”
Lin Sizheng looked at Lin Zhao with satisfaction, and said softly: "A few months ago, you came to study at home, and Mr. Qin at home said that you are smart, and I also have the heart to let you study at home, but your mother-in-law came to the house to have more tongues, and Uncle Zu didn't understand it at that time, so he kicked you out." ”
"This matter is something that Bozu did wrong."
Lin Sizheng, as the parent of the Lin family in Yuezhou, was able to take the initiative to bow his head and admit this mistake, although there was part of Lin Jian's reason, but it was not easy.
Lin Jian shook his head and said, "Uncle Zu is serious, my nephew didn't take this matter to heart. ”
"It's good that you don't take it to heart."
Lin Siyuan smiled and said: "It's all a family, even if there is something, just talk about it, San Lang, if you still want to study at home, I will say hello to Mr. Qin tomorrow, and you can live in the house." ”
Lin Zhao's mother is very concerned about his entrance examination, and she has also carefully taught Lin Zhao in the past few years.
However, Lin Zhao still shook his head and said, "Thank you Bozu for your kindness, I have some things to do now, and it is not convenient for me to go to school at home." ”
Seeing that Lin Zhao was unwilling, Lin Sizheng didn't force it, he looked at Lin Jian again, and then smiled at Lin Zhao: "That's good, Bozu won't embarrass you, it's just that your age is the age of studying, if you are busy with things, you can go home at any time to study, several famous academies and schools in Yuezhou City, Bozu also has acquaintances, if you don't want to be at home, you can also go to other schools to study." ”
Lin Yuanda, who was on the side, finally spoke, and he said with a smile: "Uncle, since San Lang has something to do for the time being, there is no need to let him study, we have other things to talk about today, so don't stand at the door, go into the house and talk." ”
Saying that, he reached out to pull Lin Zhao very affectionately and walked towards the house, after Lin Sizheng saw this scene, he thoughtfully and followed into the house.
For the Yuezhou Lin family, Lin Jian's status is extremely high.
The Lin family now has a total of two jinshi, one of whom is a magistrate in a neighboring state, although it is already quite glorious, but compared to Lin Jian, who entered the office as a tanhua, became a household servant in twenty years, and even became a four-grade Beijing official of the prince's teacher, it is much inferior.
The Lin family has grown stronger and stronger over the years, and a large part of the reason is because of this Lin Shilang in the court.
Therefore, although Lin Sizheng is the head of the family, he attaches great importance to the opinion of Lin Jian, a nephew.
The three of them entered the room together and sat down according to their seniority, Lin Zhao once again put the booklet on the table and said to Lin Jian: "Seventh uncle, you put this thing away first, the things in the clan have nothing to do with this booklet." ”
Lin Jian was stunned, and then he no longer hesitated, reached out and put the booklet into his sleeve, and said in a deep voice to Lin Zhao: "Since San Lang believes in me, Uncle Wei will try his best to help handle your affairs." ”
After saying this, he looked back at Lin Sizheng and said: "Uncle, I have already told you what happened before, San Lang's mother-in-law is really too mean, taking advantage of Brother Qingyuan's absence, bullying San Lang's mother and son, and now San Lang wants to separate from them, it is also reasonable, Uncle is the head of the Lin family, and please ask Uncle to make decisions for San Lang." ”
Lin Zhao also stood up from the chair and looked at Lin Sizheng deeply.
"Please call the shots."
At this time, Lin Zhao has basically gotten rid of poverty, as long as he can get rid of the relationship with Zhang's mother and son, he can accept Lin Jian's house in Yuezhou, and then take his mother out of Donghu Town, and no longer be angry with that evil woman.
Lin Si looked embarrassed, shook his head and said: "The division of the family is not this division, according to the situation of San Lang, he should write to his father to explain the situation in the family, if San Lang's eldest mother really has an improper behavior, he should also let his father come back to deal with it, besides, ......"
At this point, he didn't say any more.
But the meaning of the words is already very obvious.
Lin Erniang is a concubine, Zhang's is a wife, the difference between wives and concubines in this era is like an abyss, to say a not very polite word, even if everything Lin Zhao said is true, Zhang's is only a little mean, and he doesn't act too out of line.
Because, according to the identity of Concubine Lin Zhao's son, he should have returned to Donghu Town to farm.
Lin Yuanda was able to rise to prominence in the court, naturally exquisite, he was very keen to see what Lin Sizheng meant, so he said: "Uncle, this matter can be put aside for the time being, San Lang didn't want to investigate the sin of the Zhang family, and he didn't ask for any family property, he just wanted to separate the family from the lineage." ”
"Uncle is the patriarch of the Lin family in Yuezhou, so he should be able to help with this."
Lin Sizheng smiled bitterly: "Originally, Lao Qi, you have opened your mouth, no matter what it is, the old man should help, but this matter is a little unreasonable, at least call San Lang's father back to Yuezhou from Yaojiang......"
"Then ask the uncle to write a letter to Brother Qingyuan and call him back to Yuezhou."
Lin Jian looked up at Lin Sizheng and said in a deep voice: "As long as the uncle helps with this, no matter whether the nephew can return to Chang'an next year, the Lin family can have two places for Tai students." ”
Although Lin Jian has no official position now, his influence in the capital is still there.
This can be clearly seen from the noble son surnamed Li who came from thousands of miles away.
And the quota of Taixue ......
The Tai students of Chang'an Guozijian are either rich or expensive, and when they enter Taixue, they can touch that circle of contacts.
Master Lin's eyes suddenly flashed.
