Lin Beiji's resignation from his relatives finally spread, but such a dramatic change in the middle of the way surprised many people.

After this incident, the Li family fell into a reputation for treating people generously regardless of previous suspicions------

For a while, the entire Hangzhou Mansion was enthusiastically discussing the absolute protagonists in this incident - Li Qian, Li Zhongqing!

However, as if this were not enough, just a few days later, the poem that Li Qian had written in the court was also transmitted back to Hangzhou. Followed by various versions of the story, it began to spread rapidly in Hangzhou.

"Did you hear that? The second son of Master Li's family can be promising, I heard that it was originally the scroll of the champion, so the saint was transferred to a third-class jinshi, and he returned to his hometown in a rage without anger, and as a result, the guards were arrested, and he was beaten for this------"

"Do you believe such stories?"

Someone scoffed at this, and then threw out another version: "It is true that Li Zhongqing is the champion, and it is true that he was beaten on the board, but things are by no means so simple!" He should have slept for an hour that morning, when he passed the ceremony, and he decided to flee the capital because he was afraid, and he became a third-class jinshi, and eighty percent was also ------ for this reason."

"That's not true, but in my opinion, the problem is in the poem he wrote. If you think about it, he has belittled all the holy lords and kings of the past, if he hadn't come up with such a sycophancy at the end, he would have fallen to the ground a long time ago! Tut------ think about it, how can such a deviant person be an official in the court? It's light to beat him on the board! ”

“------”

For a time, there were different opinions in the entire Hangzhou territory, and the versions of the stories circulating in the alleys were becoming more and more outrageous. However, it is conceivable that some people are envious, and some people make up some stories to belittle Li Qian because they are jealous.

The various versions of the story can be said to be mysterious, which makes people sound like something is going on.

The three of them became tigers, nothing more than that.

However, it is undeniable that the name of Li Qian and Li Zhongqing, and even his poem, are already well-known. While many people praised each other, they also said such a sentence -

Give birth to a son like Li Zhongqing!

The appearance of this sentence also brought a lot of hatred to Li Qian, and many literati were even more unconvinced: "Isn't he Li Qian just relying on a bit of shit luck? happened to make a poem in front of the saint, why can it get such a good reputation? ”

I have to admit that such sour words are very marketable in Shilin. It's just that many people also understand in their hearts that not everyone can write a poem in seven steps, and a word in nine steps ------ at least, they will definitely not be able to do it if they change themselves.

At the time of the lantern, the whole city of Hangzhou is about to be shrouded in darkness, the shops on the street have already closed, and the people who went out have returned to their homes one after another, tightly closing the door, preventing fire and theft and thieves.

In the bustling city of Hangzhou during the day, only a few brisk footsteps pass by, and occasionally they will run quickly past a car, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves kicking is heard far away in the long and deep alleys.

In Wuliu Lane, red lanterns are hung at the door of every house, which reflects this piece brilliantly. The people who live here are all big families in Hangzhou, including the Lin family, who are heirlooms of poetry.

In the hall of the Lin family, a few lit candles were also lit at this time, and the whole room looked exceptionally bright under the reflection of the candlelight.

Lin Beiji sat alone on the official hat chair at the top, his face was cloudy, and his eyes flickered, just like the candlelight that jumped from time to time in the room. The words that came from outside were like a spell, and he was so irritated that he felt uncomfortable.

"Give birth to a child like Li Zhongqing------"

Since the marriage has not been withdrawn, there is still hope. But there is a little unsettling element in this hope, and it is really not something to be happy about.

Li Qian's attitude towards this marriage, Lin Beiji couldn't be clearer in his heart. Although Li Jinglun wants to save face and is unwilling to repent of his marriage, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be able to withstand his son's repeated requests to withdraw from the marriage.

It's all to blame on that bastard kid of the Zhao family! If he hadn't sent the news to him, how could he have caused him to make such a stupid move and make the Li family unhappy?

If it doesn't work, it's not easy to climb up to such a "virtuous son-in-law", but you can't ruin this family business because of your own miscalculation, you have to think of a way------

Thinking of this, he called a servant and commanded, "Go, call the young lady." ”

Not long after, Lin Qiuyun, the young lady of the Lin family, came over.

Lin Qiuyun, who was born in a scholarly family, has exuded a strong bookish atmosphere all over her body since she was a child; She grew up in Jiangnan, and her demeanor has the dignified and delicate atmosphere of everyone's ladies, but she also has the gentle atmosphere of Jiangnan people------ two completely different breaths are well neutralized to her, which will not give people an abrupt feeling at all, but just add a bit of charm.

At this time, she was wearing a moon-white light shirt with a straight collar and placket, with a little light blue lining on the neckline and waist cuffs, and a blue and white Confucian skirt of the same color from the waist down. The lotus step moved slightly, and the skirt swayed slowly with the body, vaguely revealing the unique feminine style of a young girl.

A pair of clear and agile beautiful eyes, with two curved willow leaves, a small and tall nose, delicate lips like cherries, delicate and fair skin like ivory, a long and elegant neck like a swan, a black hair combed into a Yunying bun, three thousand green silk hanging down and slender waist, showing her slender and graceful figure------ with bright eyes and bright teeth, dignified and beautiful, national color and heavenly fragrance and other most beautiful words in the world to describe her, it is not too much.

"What's the matter with daddy calling his daughter?"

"Hmm------ have you seen your cousin lately?" In front of his daughter, Lin Beiji also felt a little weak, after all, just a few days ago, he almost decided to withdraw from the Li family's family affairs.

"Cousin? How can he have time to come to our house and mess with the son of the Yang family all day long. ”

"Invite him over tomorrow." Lin Beiji casually ordered, but he said it very politely, and used the word "please" to treat juniors.

Seeing his daughter's puzzled face, he had no choice but to explain weakly: "Well------ the second son of the Li family has come back a few days ago, and my father thought, they are all young people, if they can get to know each other, it will also be good for your cousin, and it is better to follow the boy of the Yang family to learn badly------ heh, close to Zhu is red!" ”

Lin Qiuyun was a little displeased when she heard this, and she had already vaguely guessed what her father meant. It's just that I want my cousin to come forward and say a few good words for my family.

Okay, you are the one who repented on the marriage, and now that things have changed, you have reversed course again, and you are ready to pull the Shen family as a bargaining chip------

In fact, the relationship between the Shen family and the Lin family is still relatively good, but it is mostly because of the big house.

In the early years, when the Shen family was down, although Lin Beiji would not disgrace people and say strange things, he really looked down on the Shen family in his heart, and was unwilling to have too much contact with such poor relatives, but his brother had a lot of help for the Shen family. After the Shen family developed, it was natural that the relationship with the Lin family should be closer.

As soon as she thought of this, Lin Qiuyun felt a little sad, she couldn't make the decisions about her life's events, and she had a more snobbish father who only used her marriage as a means to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix.

Sometimes she wonders if she is a living person, or an object that can be valued and bought at will.

Thinking so, she never thought of accusing her father of not.

The son does not say anything about the father, Lin Qiuyun, who has been influenced by the atmosphere of a scholarly family since she was a child, understands this truth better than any man in the world. In terms of filial piety, she is even better than many men.

If you don't disobey your father's will, but you don't have to be completely obedient, Lin Qiuyun said in a consultative tone: "Daddy, do we really want to surrender ourselves?" My daughter thinks that this will only make the Li family look down on us even more. ”

Lin Beiji's face sank, and he waved his hand a little impatiently: "Forget it, you don't understand these things, you go down first." ”

Lin Beiji regretted it a little, he shouldn't have let his daughter read so many books when he was young, and now people are not very enlightened. It seems that this matter can only be worried about by yourself, and the long house is full of stubborn people, so why is it that my own daughter also reads and reads into an elm head?

Alas, all of them boast of being high, and it seems that I can only be the layman------

After coming out of the hall, Lin Qiuyun turned her head and saw a petite figure flashing and hiding in the corner in front of her. She pursed her lips and smiled lightly, then quickened her pace and pulled out the little girl who had just eavesdropped.

"Ah, Miss------"

Xiaolan, the personal maid, pretended to be surprised, but her blinking eyes clearly revealed a bit of weakness, and she smiled dryly: "Xiaolan is still looking for you everywhere, it turns out that you are ------ here."

"Ghost girl, sneakily came to eavesdrop, let my father know, and I have to reprimand you again."

Lin Qiuyun raised her face, reprimanded her in a low voice, and then glanced back at the door of the hall uneasily, then turned around, and continued: "I see that you are getting bolder and bolder, and you are becoming more and more unruly. ”

"Hee-hee-------"

As Lin Qiuyun's personal maidservant, Xiaolan naturally understands her young lady's temperament, and said with a hippie smile: "Anyway, Miss won't scold Xiaolan because of this, and she won't tell the master." ”

"I see that you are begging for a beating, so I'll go and tell my father to ------" Lin Qiuyun was about to turn around and walk in the direction of the main hall.

"Oh, don't miss you, people are joking with you, you can't take it seriously." Xiaolan's little face was sad, and she tugged at her sleeve pitifully, pleading bitterly.

Lin Qiuyun's tense face relaxed, and she chuckled: "Now you know that you are afraid?" Next time, I don't have to tell my father, I can clean you up myself! ”

Of course Xiaolan won't believe this, she has been serving by Lin Qiuyun's side since she was a child, and the two are called master and servant, but they are actually like sisters. She knew that her young lady had a very gentle temper, and she had never really beaten or scolded her, and she had never blushed when she treated other people in the family.

The master and servant chatted quietly as they walked towards the boudoir.

"Miss, there will be a poetry meeting on the shore of West Lake in a few days, do you want to go over and have a look?"

"I think you want to go and have a look, right?" Lin Qiuyun glanced at her with a smile.

"I ------"

was debunked by her in person, Xiaolan blinked a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "It's best to go and see it, but Xiaolan is just a subordinate, of course it's more important to wait for the young lady!" However, doesn't Miss want to see our talented people in Hangzhou chanting poetry? I heard that this time, many talented people from other prefectures will also come. ”

"If you want to go, you can go, I don't go anywhere, I don't need you to serve all the time when I stay at home." Lin Qiuyun was not interested in this.

"Then forget ------." Xiaolan pursed her lips a little unwillingly and gave up this rare opportunity.

Lin Qiuyun has a quiet temperament, and she really doesn't like to join in such a lively scene, but when she saw Xiaolan like this, she couldn't help but soften, and after thinking about it, she chuckled and said: "It's just a poetry meeting, how lively is it?" It's okay to go around and take a look. ”

Xiao Lan was overjoyed when she heard this, hugged her arm and shook it gently, jumped forward, and said flatteringly: "Miss, you are so good to Xiao Lan!" Xiaolan decided that she would continue to serve you in the next life------"
