Chapter 13 Chen Mansion
On Gangzi Mountain to the west of the water, the three of them sat on the ground, accompanied by wild fruits and sake, Zhao Yuan said: "Brother Xiu, this time flies really fast, now think about it, we have been separated for several years, and it is hard outside, right?"
"It's okay, the second elder has high expectations for me, no matter how hard it is, I will go. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Speaking of this, Lin Xiu thought for a moment, and his words sank: "Brother Yuan, Huzi has told me, let's Uncle Zhao..."
Without waiting for Lin Xiu to finish speaking, Zhao Yuan's expression suddenly turned cold, and the hatred in it was slowly released along with the undulating chest: "My father's life is not good, the first time he went to the scholar's house to sell some horses to make money, he didn't want to run into a horse thief, and he didn't even have people and horses." ”
As he spoke, Zhao Yuan pressed his hand deep into the soil, and the green tendons on the back of his hand also abruptly rose: "The hateful horse thief, robbed the horse, and killed people, I went to Lincheng to beat the drum and sound the grievances, but those dog officials prevaricated me, dragged it out day by day, and in the end, it was over, such a person is not worthy of sitting on that high hall at all." Speaking of hatred, Zhao Yuan gritted his teeth and looked at him like a cow, and he couldn't wait to chew this dog official and horse thief together between his lips and teeth.
"One day, I will kill those horse thieves myself and avenge my father."
"Brother Yuan, your revenge is my share, dog miscellaneous horse thief, except for bullying our people, I have no other ability, if I am bumped into by his tiger master one day, I have to chop them up and feed the dogs." Li Hu on the side also kept screaming.
In order not to let Zhao Yuan immerse himself in the pain of the past, Li Hu changed his face and changed his words: "Brother Xiu, I heard that Licheng Shengde Academy is a very powerful place, what kind of official position can you learn here?" ”
"It's hard to say!" Lin Xiu was a little worried about this: "Those noble sons and daughters are fighting each other, squeezing each other, and under the appearance of seemingly gorgeous clothes, they are all hidden in the heart of power, to put it in my heart, I think that if it goes smoothly, I will return to my hometown directly and send it to our Lincheng, it will be good to be on that errand, and then I will be a Xu official in our county government, but this is enough, I can naturally rise to the top if I train in the position of Xu official for two years as a bachelor of the country." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan and Li Hu both felt very unfair, with Lin Xiu's talent, they would eventually return to their hometown to be a Xu official, such overkill, it was really incomprehensible, Lin Xiu didn't explain too much about this, the reason why he knew that these were all because of the intersection with Zhang Qi and Li Tian, those wealthy families were intertwined with each other and controlled power, and this result made the Tui En system and the Yin Meng system play to the extreme, otherwise what did Li Tian and Zhang Qi say that as long as they stayed, they could promise the persuasion of their positions? The Beijing Entrance Examination is just a spittle of a group of waste children seeking a way to get rich? All of this is because they are born into powerful families and have power in their hands?
It's just that Lin Xiu knows where he comes from, if he blindly climbs, he will lose his mind and end up miserable, so he can only fight for wealth and glory in this waterfront place in his own way, and shine on the lintel of the Lin family!
…….
In the past few days since returning to his hometown, Lin Xiu has been playing around with Li Hu and Zhao Yuan for several days, and has even forgotten Yang Mao's teachings at all times. On this day, Lin Xiu got up early in the morning, with the help of Zhang's family, Lin Xiu tied her hair in a bun and wrapped in ribbons, dressed in a green shirt and blue brocade, and tied a belt around her waist, at first glance, she looked like a son.
"Xiu, go to Chen's Mansion, go to see your Uncle Chen first, although he had a friendship with your father back then, but now he is the commander of Linshui County, the officials and the people are different, different from the past, we must meet according to the rules, don't let people look down on us, say we don't understand etiquette!"
Listening to her mother's teachings, Lin Xiu nodded frequently: "Mother, my son must be cautious, but I want to worry about my mother, my father and Uncle Chen had a matchmaker's words, promising me to marry Shuling as an in-law, and when my son entered the city and county examination, he also encouraged him with qualifications, such an attitude is undoubtedly the same, besides, I grew up with Shuling since childhood, and I have a deep affection, and my uncle will not be the villain who beats mandarin ducks!" ”
"My fool, you're not stupid!"
Hearing this, Zhang's learned a lesson: "Shinong Industry and Commerce, your father is still a lost businessman, although your Uncle Chen is optimistic about you, but that was only before, and he didn't know some things when he went out in the past few years!" So remember your mother's words! Seeing that his mother was about to be angry, Lin Xiu had no choice but to smile, and finally under Zhang's repeated explanations several times, Lin Xiu left home and went to Chen's mansion.
Chen Fu Chen's uncle's name is Chen Yu, he was a lonely county student back then, Lin Mao saw that he was pitiful, so he funded the entrance examination, but he didn't think that Chen Yu would be able to see the bright moon in the clouds, and he was favored by the Lincheng County Guard, although he did not enter the university to enter the big examination, but he entered the Lincheng County Government, starting from the small government officials. At that time, Chen Yu was grateful to Lin Mao, so he opened his mouth and the Lin family to set a baby kiss, this 20 years have passed, the original government officials have become the current Linshui County Order, and the rich businessman Lin Mao has reached the point of no business, the two are compared, it is really a day and a place.
However, this Chen Yu is still affectionate, after serving in Linshui County, he took care of Lin Mao a lot, and he never made a decision about the words of the former matchmaker, even when Lin Xiu participated in the county examination of the two counties of the four cities in the north, Chen Yu also sent a carriage to escort Lin Xiu, which shows his character. It's just that there is no other way, after this Chen Yu entered the government as a minister, his wife died of illness, leaving a daughter surnamed Chen Shuling, although Chen Shuling looks like a sinking fish and a goose, and a shy flower in the closed moon, but also known as a virtuous and virtuous lady, beautiful and beautiful, with Lin Xiu to match such a good wife, it is also a beautiful talk made in heaven. But later, Chen Yuna had a concubine Yu, who was born in a down-and-out official family, and opposed Chen Yu and Lin Mao's doll, on the grounds that the children of the official family married into the Shangjia family, which really damaged his status as a county magistrate.
For so many years, the Lin family has visited Chen Yu every year, and the Yu family has never given a good face, and it was only two years ago that Lin Xiu won the first place in the 28 counties and counties of the four cities in the north and entered the Licheng Academy, and the stiff white face eased down slightly.
It was only more than 30 miles from Linshui Village to Lincheng County, and Lin Xiu rode a horse to the front of Chen's mansion in half a moment.
In front of the Chen Mansion, the gatekeeper saw Lin Xiu well-dressed, dignified appearance, and that scholarly atmosphere, but it was mixed with the smell of Northland martial arts, so he suddenly glanced at it a few more times, until Lin Xiu's smiling face signaled, and the doorway approached and asked in a low voice: "I don't know what happened to the son?" ”
Lin Xiu waved his hand and echoed: "Lin Zhongyi, who is in the lower water, come to meet Uncle Chen!" ”
"Lin Zhongyi?" The door hall had a blank face, obviously not knowing Lin Xiu. At this time, a fifty-year-old man in the house went out here, and when he saw Lin Xiu, he hesitated for a moment, and then his smiling face bloomed as his eyebrows trembled, and his steps couldn't help but be two steps faster.
