Chapter 025: My Own People

In fact, Master Lin has no bottom in his heart about going to Huzhou to take up the post of a member of the household department, because this is also his first time as an official, and without Mrs. Lin, all the pressure of the Lin family is on him alone, Master Lin is really a bit Alexander, after all, the in-laws of this era are not as reliable as those in the Han Dynasty, and it is okay to help the icing on the cake, if you want to rely on the Yue family, it is either that you are naïve, or you are simply thinking too much.

But at this time, how can I coax it, if I coax the Lin family, I may really be lonely, and now I finally see the hope of the Lin family's recovery, and a person like Master Lin who puts the family first is gritting his teeth and going on. In addition, the masters and Qingke around Mrs. Lin back then have all resigned because of the death of Mrs. Lin, but the long-term followers are still there because they are the slaves who signed the death contract at home, but many things in the officialdom have to be done by the master Qingke, otherwise you think that those who are officials really have a lot of money, what to do with so many people, you must know that Master Qingke has to pay for it yourself, not the national court to pay for it.

Master Lin is about to take office, Qingke can take a break, but Master has to choose a good person, Master is not only his staff but also a secretary, and many things have to be handled by him, so he must find one or several masters. Master Lin has already selected two people and invited each other.

However, even if the master is a person who knows the roots, he is still separated by such a layer as far as he is concerned, and people like the Lin family may not do much to violate the law and discipline in private, and there is definitely no random killing like Xue Pan, but there are a lot of things to play the law and rub the edges, and it is not good for the master to come forward in this regard. Therefore, it is better to have your own people, not everyone will kill their relatives or white-eyed wolves, in this era, the same family and classmates are all relationships, not to mention people of the same clan with the same bloodline, the vast majority of people still will not lead outsiders to destroy their own family like a dog's blood story, at most it is to step on the low and praise the high.

When the patriarch said this, Master Lin also looked at the candidates carefully, they were all outstanding young people in the clan, and their faces were not bad, unlike the weak look he saw when he came back from Fuling just now, so he agreed. The more prosperous the Lin family, the better the children, the bigger the officials, and it is also beneficial to Master Lin's side, the Lin family is not the kind of nouveau riche who can't see others.

To be honest, although in terms of rules, the rules of the scholarly family are definitely stricter than the rules of the meritorious family, but in terms of the cultivation of heirs, in fact, the scholarly family does not attach as much importance to the descendants as the meritorious family, after all, reading is also talented, of course, the inheritor of the family business will definitely be the son-in-law, but the general scholarly family will not deliberately suppress the talented concubine, after all, only when everyone makes the family prosperous together, everyone can obtain greater benefits.

But don't say that the kind of person who has been studying for two or three generations and taking the examination is a family, and that will make people laugh off their big teeth, it is just a nouveau riche. Only a family with a large surname that has been passed down for more than ten generations and has been an official from generation to generation can become a family.

I really thought that "one generation looks at food, the second generation sees through, and the third generation looks at literature" is meant to be fun.

The Lin family can be called a scholarly family, naturally it is not comparable to the nouveau riche, which is also one of the reasons why the Lin family has only one person on the Lin family's side, but no one in Gusu City dares to bully the Lin family, because the background of the family is not comparable to anyone, and no one knows if the Lin family has any killer features.

Even if a family like the Lin family has a time when it is lonely and becomes a cold family, as long as the foundation and teachings are not lost, then there will still be a time to stand up again, unless it encounters natural disasters and man-made disasters and is taken away in one breath. But who made the Lin family unlucky to bump into "Dream of Red Mansions", so only one person is weak and sick.

Master Lin is worried about building his own team now, at this time the patriarch recommended four people, although he knew that if they went well in the future, they would stay by his side for two years, but two years was enough time for Master Lin to integrate into Huzhou officialdom and think of other ways, at this stage, Master Lin is most worried about someone squeezing him out, not to mention that he is secretly giving him a stumbling block, which is very common in officialdom.

Once the candidate is determined and the time is agreed, the matter is completed.

The patriarch came to the door in person, and Master Lin naturally couldn't just let the patriarch go like this, so he had to use a meal, so he called Lin Liu and Lin Ruhai to accompany him, what can the two of them be accompanied, but Master Lin asked them to come over and get familiar with such a meal, and the people on the table are all their own people, and it won't be bad if something goes wrong.

Since ancient times, many things in China have been solved at the dinner table, even if there is not, there are definitely a lot of people who go to the banquet as a literati, and there are rules and unspoken rules and culture at this dinner table, if you don't care about anything, you will offend people, Master Lin was also trained by Mrs. Lin back then, and now it is Lin Ruhai and Lin Liu's turn, naturally Mr. Lin will also experience the two brothers like Mrs. Lin trained him.

Anyway, they are two years old, no one should care about them, it is also a good thing to listen to new things, nest in the house and study with Lin Ruhai every day, to be honest, it is still very boring after there is no pressure to survive, especially Lin Liu has a talent for unforgettable, and it is too painful to read a hundred times or something.

After cleaning their hands, the two of them were dressed for going out, and the guests were relatives in the clan, so they didn't need to change them, and went directly to Master Lin.

Before I entered the door, I heard Master Lin and others talking about some unique calligraphy and paintings, this kind of content is naturally not something that Lin Ruhai and Lin Liu can talk about now, and Master Lin didn't expect his two sons to be able to pick up their mouths, just to let them feel the atmosphere. His main purpose was to test the four Lin family disciples recommended to him by the patriarch, although Master Lin agreed without any hesitation, but whether he would entrust them with important responsibilities was another matter.

From the current point of view, Master Lin is still very satisfied, in fact, if you think about it, you can understand that the first batch of good ones must be from a wealthy family, and naturally he has spent a lot of time on books since he was a child.

The Lin family also has ideas, there is no judge in poor health, this is a congenital reason, but it is not impossible to get ahead, this year the Confucianism or something is also very respected, although there is no one yet, but the Lin family has already had such a sprout before, and naturally the children of the Lin family are not lagging behind other families in terms of knowledge.
