In the next few days, Lin Fan didn't do anything, and honestly stayed in the house to recuperate.

With Gu Shi watching from the side, he just wanted to turn over on the bed and had to be counted down, if he didn't listen to any of the words, Gu would shed tears on the spot, making him a head and two big, so he had to be honest if he was not honest.

In just a few days, Lin Fan's injuries have recovered a lot, and he can walk on the ground for a short time, but his qi and blood are insufficient, and he can't stand for a long time for the time being, most of the time he still has to sit there or lie on the bed.

In the few days that he had to be stuffed in the house, among the surviving generals in the Huainan Provincial Officers and Army, those with minor injuries came to see him.

Since Lin Fan never took the initiative to reveal his identity, except for An Ning and Wang Hu in the army, even Chen Fangshu and Li Qingshan knew for the first time that their fathers were the household servants of the imperial court, and he was the young patriarch of the Lin clan in Jiangzhou.

Among the people under Lin Fan's command, if anyone knew Lin Fan's identity first, it must be Bai Yuqing, who is now in charge of the Chen Qing office.

In order to facilitate the handling of affairs, Lin Fan had used the relationship of the Lin family more than once, so she knew the relationship between Lin Fan and the Lin family in Jiangzhou.

It's just that Bai Yuqing can't reveal Lin Fan's identity to others, and now he is far away in Huainan, and everyone can't get anything from her.

And Li Qingshan and Chen Fangshu, although they also vaguely felt that their adult background should not be simple, and they couldn't say that they were the sons and daughters of a big family, but when they really knew Lin Fan's identity, they were still shocked.

Needless to say, the official position of the father's father of the household is prominent, and the Lin family in Jiangzhou is even more remarkable, and it is one of the most prestigious families in the world.

The heritage of hundreds of years is not for fun, many times, in the Jiangzhou area, the Lin family is much more useful than the local government.

Let's put it this way, the official position of the household servant is very powerful, but if an ordinary person takes this official position, he can make his family prosperous for decades at most.

If the descendants of the family are unable to pass the imperial examination, do not gain fame, and cannot come out to be officials, so that no one can take over his position in the imperial court, their prosperity will only be temporary, and they will soon decline again.

And a big family like the Lin family is different, and the official position in the court is just the icing on the cake for the Lin family. Even if many of the children of the family do not have official positions, the Lin family inheritance can flourish, and no one can do anything to them.

As long as you want to be an official, the children of the Lin clan can donate a large number of four or five official positions, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not too difficult to want a higher official position.

The principals of many branches of the Lin clan have official positions of all sizes in this way.

And to be honest, with the current officialdom of the imperial court, it is not too difficult for the people of the Lin clan, especially the children of important families, to participate in the imperial examination and obtain the corresponding fame.

The children of the Lin family, once they reach the age of Mengxue, can go to their own school to study. Just among the masters who learned from the Lin family, there are many famous teachers and Confucians who are rare to see in ordinary people.

With the unique conditions, under the influence of hearing and seeing since childhood, as long as the children of the Lin family are willing to work hard, their talents are too dull, and it is much easier for them to learn a talent than those ordinary people's children, and their vision and knowledge are even more so.

Even if it's really talented, even those famous masters can't teach it. But as long as you report the name of Jiangzhou Lin to the examiners in advance when taking the exam, and then stuff a lot of silver, the examiners are often not too embarrassed, and they will give a passable ranking.

In fact, until now, Lin Fan was not sure if his original identity as the sixth Yayuan had any elements of the Lin family's operation in it.

He believed that his father would not do such a thing, but it was hard to guarantee that there would be no one in the clan who would do anything in private for the sake of family face or to please the lineage.

After all, the only son of the contemporary patriarch of the Lin family, if he can't even pass the exam, it will inevitably make the entire family lose face.

If someone did this secretly, even if it was discovered by Lin Ruxian in the future, but the wood was already in the boat, and it was Lin Fan who benefited, he didn't have much to say, at most, it was a superficial small punishment and a big admonition.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, as a person from the Lin clan in Jiangzhou, even if he doesn't have an official position, even if he is a side branch with estranged blood, those local officials in Jiangzhou have to be polite when they see it.

With the accumulation of hundreds of years, the influence of the Lin family in Jiangzhou does not need to be ordered by the imperial court

Difference. This kind of confidence from the big family is much more important than the official position of the head of the household.

After learning Lin Fan's identity, Li Qingshan and Chen Fangshu were first surprised, and then turned to great joy.

Since they followed Lin Fan with all their hearts, the more noble Lin Fan's identity is, the broader his future will be. Under the rising tide, as the first group of people to follow Lin Fan, they will also be able to have better prospects!

Unexpectedly, they unknowingly hugged such a thick thigh, how could they not be happy!

Compared with others, Deng Wentong and Zeng Liang were obviously much more restrained than before when they came to see Lin Fan, they thought that they were not Lin Fan's henchmen, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous in such an important minister's mansion as Shilang Mansion.

Lin Fan first comforted them with kind words, but when he saw that it didn't work, he went with them.

After the two of them briefly greeted Lin Fan's body, they reported to him about some affairs in the camp these days, and there were some tricky things that the two of them were not good at making decisions, so they came to ask him to decide.

Lin Fan only instructed them to do a good job of treating their wounded brothers, and then said that during the time he was not in the army, the two of them could decide on the big and small matters in the camp by themselves, and there was no need to ask for instructions on everything.

Unless you encounter something that is really difficult to decide, you need to come to him, so as not to run back and forth. Not to mention the delay, if there is no one in charge in the camp, it is easy to have problems.

After the two agreed, they didn't dare to stay longer, so they hurriedly said goodbye tremblingly under the threat of Gu's eyes that wanted to eat people.

Everyone's arrival was expected by Lin Fan, so he had actually already figured out how to deal with most of the things, just waiting for them to come and order them to go down, so Lin Fan didn't work hard about these things.

After sending Deng Wentong and Zeng Liang away, he coaxed his mother back to rest, and Lin Fan quietly asked Lin Shao and Lin Qingyang to come over.

"The two elder brothers went to Beijing with my father, and it has been almost two years since today. In the past two years, I have not been able to serve by my parents' side, and I have relied on my two brothers to take care of me, and I have been working hard for my two brothers! When the two came in, Lin Fan sincerely thanked the two.

Lin Shao replied: "The young patriarch is polite, the patriarch and his wife are kind, and there is usually nothing to do at home, far from hard work." ”

Lin Fan smiled bitterly: "Although I am not with my parents, I can still guess some things at home." My father was very strict, but it was in business, and he was not very willing to take care of these chores at home. And my mother was a very careless person, and she didn't care much about these trivial things. ”

"And I finally came to the capital, but before I entered the city, I got injured. In this case, they must not care about these things. ”

"The two brothers have been taking care of the affairs of the family, and I should say thank you."

Lin Qingyang said: "Since entering Beijing, the two of us have been taking care of the affairs at home. But because of this, we also came into contact with most of the powerful people in Beijing, and we gained a lot of insight and learned a lot. ”

"What we have seen, heard, thought and thought in the past two years has long been enough for us to benefit immensely for the rest of our lives. If you want to say thank you, it shouldn't be the young patriarch, so the young patriarch must not say something extraordinary! ”

Lin Fan didn't want to continue on this topic, otherwise it would be endless.

So he nodded and said, "What interesting things have the two brothers seen in Beijing, can you tell me about it?" ”

Seeing that Lin Fan was no longer entangled in this topic, Lin Shao and the two of them were also a lot more relaxed.

They laughed and said, "That's a lot!" ”

"The capital is a place where dignitaries and nobles gather, and anyone you meet on the road may be the son of a Earl's Mansion, or the young master of the Marquis's Mansion!"

"Any little thing that happens in the capital may not be simple. No matter which lady loses a hairpin, or whose teenager writes a poem with everyone's style, if you really want to get to the bottom of it, it may involve something terrible! ”

"And almost none of these high-ranking families are clean, and there is a lot of intrigue everywhere, maybe there are dead people buried in that corner."

"Those vermilion walls and gray tiles, they look bright on the surface, but who doesn't have a few unsightly things?"

"When I was in my hometown, I felt that the people in my hometown would fight and compare with each other, and sometimes the means used were not necessarily how upright and upright they were

There are also a lot of tricks. Compared with them, our Jiangzhou Lin's family style is enough to be called Chunzheng! ”

The smile on Lin Fan's face remained unchanged: "Is there anything else?" ”

He doesn't care much about these things in the capital, and he doesn't bother to care about what those dignitaries and nobles like to do, as long as it doesn't hinder him.

If these two clan brothers have been in Beijing for two years and have seen and learned these things, then even if he doesn't say it on the surface, he will inevitably feel a little disappointed in his heart.

The two of them also heard something wrong from Lin Fan's tone, and they sensed that Lin Fan was not interested in these things.

They glanced at each other, and some of them understood, the young patriarch was studying his progress in the past two years!

As for why it was the younger Lin Fan who came to study the older ones, they didn't think it was a problem, nor did they think there was anything wrong with it, but they thought it was a matter of course.

Take Lin Fan is the young patriarch of the Lin clan in Jiangzhou, even those clan elders in the clan are here, and they have to be obedient.

Lin Shao said: "In the past two years, although the two of us have spent most of our time taking care of the affairs of the family, we have also participated in many gatherings of officials in Beijing with the patriarch as juniors. ”

"In order to train us, the patriarch even asked us to assist him in handling some official affairs, and some official documents were also handed over to us to write, and the patriarch was only responsible for the final review and instructions, as well as how to improve them."

"Over time, we have gained a certain understanding of the work processes of the household department and other departments. We can also get a rough idea of how everything should be done, which yamen should be attributed to, and which adult in the yamen should be handed over. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Shao stopped and left the remaining opportunity to Lin Qingyang.

Lin Qingyang continued his words and said: "With the identity of the patriarch, we also have more or less friendship with many powerful children in Beijing, who should do some tricky things, and how to dredge the joints, and also have some channels of our own. ”

He knew that Lin Fan, like the patriarch, didn't like these crooked ways, so he explained: "We may not be able to use these things, and we don't want to use them. But if the time comes when you have to use it, you might be able to do it handy! ”

Lin Fan naturally wouldn't kill all these things with a single stroke, he nodded secretly in his heart, what the two of them said later was what he wanted.

After getting the answer he wanted, Lin Fan suddenly asked, "Two brothers, are you willing to join the army with me?" If you wish, I can go to my father and say it! ”

Lin Shao and Lin Qingyang showed joy on their faces, Lin Fan is the future patriarch of the Lin family, and he has just made such a great contribution, now in the whole capital, who doesn't know the name Lin Fan?

If you can follow Lin Fan, the future will go without saying. And as the same clan, the resources of the Lin family will also be inclined to them, after all, compared to others, they are still more reliable from their own family, as long as they can do their best, they will definitely be able to become Lin Fan's right-hand man.

In that way, no matter whether they are in the officialdom or the Lin clan in the future, their status will not be too low.

And Lin Fan will find them, first, he wants to see the results of the training of the clan brothers in the past two years; The second is also to think that it is best to have your own family around you, so that maybe you can be much easier in the future.

Lin Fan chuckled and said: "You can think about it, being by my side is not as safe as at home, you see how I have been injured this time, then the danger faced by others can be imagined!" ”

His words undoubtedly poured cold water on the two of them, but Lin Fan didn't care, he said it clearly now, it was better than when they came to the battlefield and regretted coming!

Even if they really retreated, Lin Fan didn't mind, then let them continue to take care of these affairs at home, anyway, they have been doing a good job!

Everyone has their own ambitions, so you don't have to force them!

Lin Shao and Lin Qingyang hesitated, but still said firmly: "We are willing to follow the young patriarch and be born and die, at any cost!" ”

Lin Fan snorted: "Okay, since you have thought about it, then I will find a chance to talk to my father, I believe that my father will release him!" ”

After negotiating this matter, Lin Fan asked the two clan brothers to go about their own business, while he was thinking about how to talk to his father about it.

If those people in the official army of Huainan Province came to visit him and talked with Lin Shao and Lin Qingyang were all expected by Lin Fan, then the arrival of these two people really surprised Lin Fan.
