Chapter 056: Great Joy
Looking at her son, who was obviously embarrassed after the county test, Mrs. Lin was distressed and began to make soup again.
Looking at Lin Liu's eyes with pity, the corners of Lin Ruhai's mouth twitched, his cousin is good anywhere, and there is a little bit that Lin Ruhai can't look down on, because this person strictly implements the words of the saint - he doesn't get tired of eating, and he doesn't get tired of being fine. Of course, it doesn't mean that Lin Liu won't eat the food if it's not exquisite, Lin Liu will eat it, he won't do anything to starve his stomach, but every time he eats it, he will complain, it is meaningless Lin Ruhai is the audience of Lin Liu's complaints.
However, Lin Liu's tongue is extremely sensitive, and he can find out the shortcomings of any dish, not to mention the tonic soup that was originally drunk as a "medicine", although he knows that it is good for his body, but he will still get tired of drinking it every day, and now the Lin family is drinking the tonic soup made by the patriarch every day to condition the body, the taste is not unpleasant, but it has been drunk for a long time...... In Lin Liu's words: I want to vomit when I smell it.
After drinking the tonic soup that Mrs. Lin asked people to send, Lin Ruhai rinsed his mouth slightly with tea, took the mint candy handed over by Lin Liu, and put it in his mouth, and suddenly the greasy mouth was occupied by the fresh mint taste, and Lin Ruhai's whole person was also relieved.
"Big brother, how is the county exam?" Lin Liu asked curiously.
He is really curious, although he participated in the high school entrance examination in his previous life, it is completely different from the ancient imperial examination, think about the future even if it is successful, he will have to take the exam six times, and the four days of the county examination are trivial, and the township examination and the meeting test will cost people's lives, and then think of the people in the Lin family clan who can't hold on to the township examination because of physical reasons, Lin Liu only feels that his heart is cold.
Lin Ruhai had sugar in his mouth, and said with some slurred words: "The content of the county exam is not difficult, but the atmosphere is quite bluffing, several instructors and examiners are staring at you, and the environment of the exam is very simple." For Lin Ruhai, the only thing he can't stand in the county exam is that the examination room is too poor, not to mention the Lin family's house, even the Lin family's horse shed is not as good.
However, he didn't know that this was nothing, because the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination were all twice every three years, unlike the township examination, the meeting examination and the palace examination, and the audience of the township examination was the lifting of the entire county, and the county examination was only a county reader, so there were not many people who participated in the county examination every time, so in fact, the examination room of the county examination was slightly better than the township examination, and other places did not know that it was at least in Jiangnan.
Looking at Lin Ruhai's disgusted eyes, Lin Liu knew in his heart that this kind of special examination room, which will only be used once in a while, must not have a good environment.
The results of the county examination are not fast, don't look at it as the first step of the scientific examination, but the officials are still very rigorous.
But compared to the exam, it is natural that the results of the county exam are fast, and after a few days, it will be the day of the case, Lin Ruhai naturally does not have to squeeze to see the results by himself like some children of poor families, Mrs. Lin has already sent the housekeeper to send someone to guard, and it is necessary to get the first-hand news.
Although Master Lin doesn't value Lin Ruhai's results in this county exam, after all, Lin Ruhai is still a little young, not to mention that he didn't hit this time, it's nothing if he misses a few times, and there are many people in the officialdom who are in their twenties and thirties who have just started. But Mrs. Lin is different, she values Lin Ruhai's achievements very much, that is, she has the background of Lin Ruhai's Lin family and the Zhang family, and her father is also very reliable. But the scientific examination is also a big event, whether the test is not one, what ranking in the test is another matter, even if it is only a county test, but it can also be seen what level Lin Ruhai is.
Therefore, Mrs. Lin was nervous from the first night, and on the day of the crime, Mrs. Lin got up early in the morning, and the dark circles on her face could not be covered with fat powder.
Lin Ruhai is a filial son, so he stayed in the main house to accompany Mrs. Lin, comforting Mrs. Lin and relieving her tension. Seeing this, Lin Liu didn't have a strong desire to study, so he stayed in the main house with Lin Ruhai.
Everyone was waiting anxiously in the courtyard, and for a while, they saw a little guy who had not left his head running over panting, knelt down and said, "Mrs. Hui, Mr. Zhang is back." ”
Mrs. Lin hurriedly said, "Let him come in." ”
After a while, Zhang Caijia walked in, knelt down and said, "Please wife, uncle, second master." ”
"Say it quickly." Mrs. Lin was simply anxious, and her eyes were staring directly at Zhang Cai's family.
Zhang Caijia hurriedly said: "To my wife, the uncle is happy, the uncle has won the head of the first county." ”
Zhang Caijia's words shouted, but the room was surprisingly silent.
Although they are all imperial examinations, the imperial examinations of various dynasties and generations are different, and there is no so-called "small three yuan" in the imperial examinations here in the Zhong Dynasty, because all the scholars who have won the "county case head" and "government case head" automatically have the fame of Xiucai, in other words, they can go directly to the township examination without going to the government examination and the hospital examination.
For scholars, reputation is extremely important, so even if it is in a solid family, they will not go to the government and hospital examinations after the head of the county and the government, which will be hated.
In other words, Lin Ruhai has completed the goals of others for several years at this time, and now has the fame of showing talent.
Although because of the deeds of prodigies such as Zhang Juzheng and Yang Tinghe in the Ming Dynasty, the Zhong Dynasty did not worship prodigies, but it would not discriminate. In fact, in private, everyone is still very flattering to the prodigy, and whoever has a prodigy is a very long-faced thing.
Mrs. Lin's maiden family can only be regarded as a family of Gusu, and she can't be ranked in front of the entire Zhong Dynasty, so although she is a qualified wife, she still has a little selfishness and showy temperament in her bones.
The master did not speak, and naturally the subordinates in the house did not dare to speak easily.
After a while, he reacted first, and said with a smile: "Great joy, great joy, mother, this is a great joy." ”
"yes, Daiki." Mrs. Lin came back to her senses and immediately became overjoyed, "Quickly send someone to inform the master, and the people who serve in the uncle's yard will be rewarded with three months' money, and the people who serve in the whole house will be rewarded with a month's monthly money." ”
Such a happy event, Mrs. Lin can't wait for everyone in the world to know, but as a family as a scholarly family, she naturally has to be reserved, so she rewards her subordinates generously and uses her mouths to spread the news, which is a very good choice.
Do you really think that the Lin family has a lot of money and can't spend it?
It's all about living a low-key and riotous life.
