Chapter Seventy-Six: An Unexpected Invitation
Just when Liu Kui was in a hurry, a figure appeared behind Liu Kui: "Dad, why don't you rest?" You're going back to town tomorrow and have an early night's rest. Liu Kui turned around and saw a girl he had seen since he was a child standing there prettyly.
Liu Kui smiled: "You still ask me, why don't you rest?" ”
"I've checked today's account books, and I'll rest when I'm done." Liu Xin'er grinned. Liu Xin'er is now Lin Mo's royal account office, and Lin Mo doesn't care about all the accounts, all of them are managed by Liu Xin'er alone.
Liu Kui hadn't seen his daughter smile so naturally and happily for a long time, and he was even more grateful to Lin Mo in his heart, after all, Liu Xin'er was able to live so happily Lin Mo was indispensable, and he owed Lin Mo too much.
Thinking of Lin Mo and looking at his daughter again, Liu Kui finally made up his mind, took his daughter's hand and said seriously: "Xin'er, what do you think of Lin Mo?" ”
Liu Xin'er was taken aback by Liu Kui's sudden question, and was stunned for a long time and said with a smile: "Brother Mo is very good, he is very good to me and the people around him, he will always change tricks to make us happy, and tell me about "Journey to the West" and make delicious food for me." Saying that, Liu Xin'er had a happy smile on her face.
Liu Kui saw it and said seriously: "Then if you are asked to marry Lin Mo, are you willing?" ”
When Liu Xin'er heard this, her eyes were shy and panicked, "Dad, what are you talking nonsense?" How do I marry Brother Mo? Did you drink too much at night, Dad, hurry up and rest, I will go to bed too. After speaking, Liu Xin'er hurriedly ran back to the house, Liu Kui looked at Liu Xin'er's panicked back and said to himself: "If you don't marry now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future." ”
Liu Kui knows that Lin Mo is by no means an idle person, and he will definitely do great things in the future, and at that time there will be beauties around him, Liu Xin'er may not have that chance to marry Lin Mo again, if Xin'er really wants to marry now, then he will pull down his old face and tell Lin Mo, if Lin Mo is unwilling, he will go to Grandpa Lin Mo, for the happiness of his daughter, he will not want his old face.
Liu Xin'er returned to the house and lay on the bed, thinking about what her father had just said, she was a little excited, but then she was a little bitter, even if she really wanted to marry, Lin Mo would not marry, in his eyes she was just a sister, maybe in the future, Lin Mo would have a group of wives and concubines, but she had always been just his sister. Thinking of this, Liu Xin'er felt a pain in her heart.
But then Liu Xin'er returned to normal: "Even if it's my sister, what's the matter, I have to do my best, help Brother Mo, so that Brother Mo can't do without me, even those women can't replace me." Liu Xin'er said stubbornly to herself.
Early the next morning, Liu Kui got up and had breakfast with everyone and left with Wu Shun. Lin Mo and the others also began to get busy, and there were two days left on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
I have to seize this opportunity to promote another wave, so that my food for the sky will completely open up its reputation in Chenan and become people's first choice restaurant. Just as Lin Mo was busy, a man in plain clothes walked into the restaurant. "Are you here for dinner?"
Zhou Fu asked. The man shook his head and said, "May I ask if Mr. Lin Molin is here?" My lord is invited? Zhou Fu was stunned, but since he was looking for Lin Mo, of course he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to inform Lin Mo, and at this time, Lin Mo was teaching Zhu Wen and a few people a new dish to prepare for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Zhou Fu entered the kitchen and told Lin Mo about the matter, Lin Mo hurriedly went out to see the person, Chen Nan knew that there were not many people who had anything to do with the restaurant, and the most likely thing was the gentry who came last time, Lin Mo didn't dare to slack off, and after seeing the person, he first asked who was the owner of the family?
The man smiled and said, "Lin Gongzi, my lord, please go forward to talk about it, and also ask Lin Gongzi to appreciate his face." When Lin Mo heard this, although it was strange, he had to briefly explain to Zhao En, and then the man left together.
On the way, Lin Mo knocked on the side and wanted to ask who invited him, but the man never said it, only said it. Then he took Lin Mo to a remote alley, and then knocked on a small door, Lin Mo was a little panicked at this time, and secretly said that he would not be deceived.
The door slowly opened, and a servant smiled when he saw Lin Mo and the man arriving, "Young Master Lin has arrived?" Please come in quickly. Lin Mo had no choice but to follow the man towards the inside, and after entering the door, it suddenly became clear that this was a side door of a large mansion.
The servant took Lin Mo to an attic, and after entering the door, Lin Mo found that the room was full of bookshelves, and the bookshelves were full of all kinds of books, but it smelled of ink and paper, and he was sitting in front of the desk and was holding a book and watching.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment: "The villain Lin Mo has seen Zhou Xiancheng. "That's right, that person is Zhou Qian, Lin Mo has thought about many people but never thought that it would be Zhou Qian who found him.
Zhou Qian saw Lin Mo and smiled: "You shouldn't call yourself a villain, you should call yourself a late student or a student." Hurry up and sit down."
Then Zhou Qian said to the servant outside the door: "Go and bring a pot of hot water, and the official will personally make a pot of tea for Lin Mo." Lin Mo hurriedly said: "No, no, the students can listen to the teachings of the county here, how dare they bother the county to make tea for the students." ”
"You don't have to shirk, this time you gave my literati in Chennan a long face, and the official made you tea to show your gratitude." Zhou Qian smiled, but Lin Mo became more confused the more he listened, not knowing what Zhou Qian was talking about. Zhou Qian skillfully brewed the tea, and then Lin Mo hurriedly stepped forward to take it, thanking him again and again.
Zhou Qian opened his mouth and said, "Lin Mo, what do you think of this county exam, how did you do in your own exam?" Lin Mo thought for a while and said: "The first time a student participates in this county exam, I just think it's not very difficult, but the student just writes nonsense, and if he can really get in, thank God." ”
When Zhou Qian heard this, he smiled and said: "Haha, you are very modest, then the official said directly, you are the head of the case this year." Lin Mo was very surprised at first, then regained his composure and got up and thanked: "Xie Xiancheng." ”
Zhou Qian is the invigilator of this exam, and it is natural for Lin Mo to thank him for being the first of the case, after all, Lin Mo took the first exam under his invigilation, according to this life, Zhou Qian is half of his husband, no wonder he changed his name to a student as soon as he entered the door.
Zhou Qian looked at Lin Mo's performance with some surprise, he thought that Lin Mo would be very excited, who expected it to be surprisingly calm, as if everything had been expected by himself.
Zhou Qian asked suspiciously, "You already know?" ”
"Back to adults, students don't know?"
"Then why are you so indifferent, do you already know the results of this county exam?" Zhou Qian's eyes revealed a suspicion and speculation.
Lin Mo knew at a glance that Zhou Qian thought that he had already opened up the relationship and decided on the head of the case, Lin Mo felt a grievance in his heart, so he quickly explained: "The student just feels that the results of this county exam do not have much impact on him, whether he is admitted or not, whether he has this case head or not, it is not important to the student, so he is so indifferent." ”
Zhou Qian nodded when he heard this, in fact, he didn't doubt Lin Mo, after all, Lin Mo was the head of the case by himself, how could Lin Mo even expect this. In addition, the examiners in the examination room felt that Lin Mo knew the test questions in advance, so he finished answering them so quickly, Zhou Qian scoffed when he heard it, since Lin Mo got the test questions, how could he be the first to hand in the exam papers in advance with his wit, such a high-profile wouldn't it be equivalent to telling everyone that he knew the questions and knew the answers. Of course, when I thought of this Zhou Qian, I was a little helpless, after all, Lin Mo was participating in the scientific examination for the first time, although he answered the papers well, but he didn't understand many common sense questions.
"Lin Mo, your official has read it, but he is talented, especially the words that are like bamboo and bones, who handed it over? And that poem is like an initiation, which makes the official's eyes shine, and the official has read a lot of poetry books, and he has made no less than 100 poems, but compared with your poems, it is like a dead branch and a fallen leaf, and there is no aura at all. When Lin Mo heard this, he quickly shook his head and said: "The county is falsely praised, this word was inadvertently figured out by the students themselves, and the poem was only obtained by chance, far less than the poetry of the county Cheng." ”
Zhou Qian smiled: "You don't have to be humble, if it's inconvenient to say it clearly, it doesn't matter, that word is really random to find out, then you are really talented, and do you know that your poem has been presented to Lord Fu Yin, and the adult is also appreciative, to compile your poem into a poetry collection, but there is a problem." ”
Lin Mo asked curiously when he heard this, "May I ask what is the problem, my lord?" Zhou Qian smiled and said: "Lord Fu Yin asked the official to ask you, why didn't you write the title of this poem?" When Lin Mo heard this, he was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted, at that time, he was only concerned about writing poems, and forgot to write the title.
Instantly, his face was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly said: "It was the student's negligence, the student's poem called "Mountain Walking" was accidentally obtained when he was playing on the mountain at home. ”
Zhou Qian listened and said to himself: "Mountain travel, mountain travel, well, good name, good poem." Lin Mo felt that Zhou Qian's attitude towards himself had changed too much this time, and he couldn't accept it.
Looking at Lin Mo's puzzled expression, Zhou Qian seemed to see Lin Mo's thoughts, "Don't you think it's strange why this official's attitude towards you has changed so much." ”
Lin Mo nodded when he heard this, and then quickly shook his head. Zhou Qian said with a smile: "You don't have to be surprised, there are still some origins here, it is said that the last banquet was narrow-minded by the official, Lin Mo, you don't blame the official." Lin Mo immediately shook his head when he heard this. The students have received a lot of lessons from the county, how dare they blame the county lord. ”
Zhou Qian shook his head and said, "The official you think knows that it was the official who took out his anger on you last time." ”
Zhou Qian sighed and said: "This official and the county order have always been incompatible, you must also know about this matter, this official saw that you have a relationship with the county order, and there was a grudge with the county order at that time, so he was angry with you." ”
Lin Mo immediately reacted when he heard this, Zhou Qian's words were forcing him to stand in line, and he immediately replied respectfully: "Lord County Cheng said that the student has no special relationship with sending the county order, but in the process of redressing his friend's grievances, the county order lord gave him a grace time to solve the case, so he is only a little grateful to the county order students, and the county Cheng is also grateful to the students for guiding the students, and he has the same respect for the two adults and students, how dare he have other complaints." ”
Seeing that Lin Mo was so restrained, Zhou Qian continued helplessly: "You don't have to worry so much, this official will not persecute a teenager. Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhou Qian say it so bluntly, since he had already opened up, he didn't have to worry so much.
