It didn't take long for the entire Yuezhou City to know the news of Lin Jian's resurgence, up to the newly appointed Qi Zhizhou, down to the county magistrates of the counties, and the wardens, etc., all came to Xingwenfang to congratulate Lin Jian on his promotion.

After all, with this holy decree, Lin Jian is very different from before.

In the past, Lin Jian, although he had a reputation as a jinshi, but he was dismissed, at best, he was a former squire, and these local officials respected him a little to give him face, if he was not respected, Lin Jian actually didn't have much to do.

At this time, Yuan Dagong became a great master in the capital, and was about to enter Beijing to take charge of the world's official studies, and became a veritable big man.

Headed by the new Qi Zhizhou, the Yuezhou officials wanted to collectively invite the Grand Master to a meal to congratulate them.

Lin Jian, on the grounds that the funeral at home was not far away, refused the invitation of these people.

Despite this, the Lin family in Xingwenfang was still overcrowded, and they didn't know that their relatives and friends were old, so they came to congratulate them.

Among these people, there are some favors that can't be pushed back, even if Lin Jian, who doesn't like it, can only receive these guests at home.

Just when the Lin family was busy up and down, the news also reached Lin Zhao's ears, at this time Lin Zhao was at Xie's house, sitting with Xie Yuran under the small wooden pavilion and playing backgammon.

In this era, there was already Go, and perhaps somewhere someone invented backgammon, but after all, the flow of information was too difficult, and the way of playing backgammon did not spread.

This thing got started quickly, and within a few days, Lin Zhao gradually became no match for Xie Xianran, he sat opposite the little girl, watching the other party's double three, and in desperation, he could only abandon his son and admit defeat.

Lin Saburo coughed a little embarrassed.

"This isn't interesting, let's play something else next time."

Xie Yuran smiled slightly, and while lowering his head to sort out the black and white pieces on the chessboard, he said softly: "Your seventh uncle got the holy decree this morning, it seems that he was made a big official, you ran to the Daiyuan if you were okay before, why don't you go to congratulate today?" ”

"There are so many people, I won't join in the fun."

Lin Zhao put his white son in the chess box and laughed softly: "No matter what, he can't miss my benefits." ”

Hearing this, Xie Ran's mood fell, and he said softly: "Listen to my aunt, you are going to Chang'an next year." ”

Lin Zhao's matter of going to Chang'an was actually decided some time ago, but he was not embarrassed to tell Xie Ran in person, and when he heard her mention it, Lin Zhao nodded and said, "I always have to go out and have a look." ”

Miss Xie looked up at Lin Zhao: "Then you...... Always coming back, right? ”

"Naturally, I want to come back."

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Yuezhou gave birth to me and raised me, how can there be a reason to never go back?" ”

"Besides, there is still a Sister Xie waiting for me in Yuezhou City, of course I have to come back."

Xie Yuran blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "I said that I told you not to call my sister." ”

"My sister screamed closer."

Lin Zhao was about to cheekily step forward and hold Xie Xianran's little hand, when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, Xie Zhaoran stood up in a panic, ran to the door to open the door, pushed open the door and saw a young man running errands, and said, "May I ask Lin Zhao Lin Sanlang is here?" ”

Lin Zhao walked behind Xie Yuran, frowned, and said, "I'm Lin Zhao, what's wrong?" ”

The young man was just an errand runner, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Lin Sanlang, your mother asked you to go home immediately......"

Lin Zhao agreed.

"Got it, I'll go back now."

Lin Zhao's mother and son live in that house, and there is no one around them so far, so that Lin Erniang wants to call him back, so he can only find a teenager on the side of the road to run errands.

Xie Yuran stood beside Lin Zhao and frowned slightly: "San Lang, do you want me to go with you to have a look?" ”

"No, you don't."

Lin Zhao smiled at her: "Sister Xie, you are at home, I will go back first to see what happened, and then I will come to you tomorrow to play chess." ”

Xie Tanran sneered, his eyes bent into crescent moons.

"Daddy, he has to look for you every day to go to the bookstore, go to the workshop, but he can't find your person, you still have to come to me to play chess, let him know that he has to beat you!"

"Hit a beating, just beat up."

Lin Zhao was cheeky and said with a smile: "Even if I was beaten by Uncle Xie, I won't delay playing chess with Sister Xie, right?" But we won't play this game tomorrow, I'll teach you to play tiger chess tomorrow. ”

After saying this, Lin Zhao waved his hand at Xie Yuran, hurriedly left the Lin family, and walked towards his own house.

As soon as he entered the house, he found a lot of pastries and fruits piled up in the main hall of his house, and when he walked inside, he saw a familiar and disgusting figure.

It was the Zhang family of Donghu Town.

At this time, the Zhang family was no longer arrogant as before, but stood beside Lin Erniang, with a smile on his face.

"Sister, in the past, my sister was too small-minded and did a lot of things wrong, and today I specially brought Erlang to compensate you, I hope you can forgive us and forgive our mother and ......son."

By her side, Lin He, the taller man of the Lin family, also bowed down respectfully to Lin Erniang and said: "Erniang, I was wrong in the past, I hope Erniang will not be surprised." ”

Lin Erniang was already introverted, she didn't know how to deal with the scene she saw, and was about to speak, when she glanced at Lin Zhao who walked in from outside, she breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Lin Zhao in, and said, "Zhao'er, you are back." ”

Lin Zhao looked left and right, pulled his mother aside, and asked with some confusion: "A-Niang, what are they?" ”

"I don't know what's going on, they just burst in with something."

"I said I was going to compensate our mother and son."

Lin Zhao frowned slightly, he didn't know what the Zhang family and son were going to do, according to the previous agreement, Lin Zhao's current industry had nothing to do with the Lin family, and it was basically impossible for them to take anything from Lin Zhao, in this case, according to Zhang's temper, they wouldn't come here with a hot face and a cold ass.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao walked towards Zhang's mother and son, frowned and asked, "Auntie, second brother, what are you doing here?" ”

Although the skin of the face has been torn, the name that should be shouted on the surface still has to be shouted, otherwise it will be poked in the back.

"Saburo is finally back."

After seeing Lin Zhao, Lin He, the second man of the Lin family, was still a little embarrassed and bowed his head, while Zhang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lin Zhao's sleeve, with a smile on his face.

"I have been reflecting for a long time in Donghu Town these days, and I always feel sorry for your mother and son, and I always want to come to make amends to you.

She smiled.

"After all, we are a family, no matter what, we can't just be unfamiliar like this, right?"

Lin Zhao took two steps back, pulled out his sleeve from the woman's hand, and said directly: "If there is anything wrong with the eldest lady, just say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush like this." ”

Zhang's face stiffened, and then he spoke: "Since San Lang said so, then I have something to say." ”

She gritted her teeth and said, "This morning, Erlang came back from the city and heard that the sage made Master Yuanda a big official, and gave the Lin family three places for the students......"

Speaking of this, she looked up at Lin Zhao with a sincere gaze.

"Originally, our family was lonely and weak, so we shouldn't think about this, but I heard that San Lang saved Yuan Dagong ...... not long ago."

Zhang stepped forward again, grabbed Lin Zhao's sleeve, and said, "San Lang, this is a great opportunity, since you are already doing business in Yuezhou, you are not interested in the science field, it is better for you to ...... Go and intercede with Master Yuanda......"

The woman's tone was already full of pleading.

"Let's see if you can let your second brother go to the capital to study with Master Yuanda......"
