Chapter Ninety-Seven: Hit a Hammer, Give a Date?
The county trial is over, and the next thing is to wait for the day when the list will be released. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Small exams like this are basically read by the county magistrate, and then the case is filed. Those who can get the top 10 in the exam can be mentioned in the hall number during the government examination. The first place, that is, the head of the county, this reward is more practical, you can directly enter the school, get the title of Xiucai, and then participate in the township examination.
Lin Lan had a calmness that he had never felt before, because he didn't take the test at all.
Shun Yu pretended to be sad for a few days, and followed Lin Lan to wander around the county, like two trains, shopping and eating, shopping, eating, and eating all day long......
Lin Yong was worried about what Lin Lan would do at first, so he specially asked a subordinate in the family to follow the master and servant, but later saw that there was no, but a very leisurely appearance, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and when Lin Ruhai sent someone to solve the matter, it was estimated that it would be over.
It's just a small test, and I didn't pass the triennial exam, which is a pity.
"Nineteen, you're unlucky. This little test, and I was embarrassed by the master, it must be that you were too famous on the night of the Yuan Festival, killing the prestige of our Suzhou talents, and someone bought the master to deliberately not let you enter the examination room. "Hou Haomiao is a person from Gusu, and on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, when he heard that Lin Lan had won the poetry championship, he was so angry that he almost jumped up from the poetry venue.
It's not that he's jealous of Lin Lan's talent, but that he doesn't come to him when he comes to Gusu, which is not righteous.
"Won't it?"
Hou Haomiao drank all the tea in one gulp and said, "Why not?" Forget it, don't worry about this matter, this little test happens every year, anyway, there are so many days before next year's township test. When are you going back to college? ”
"Let's talk about it. It is estimated that my father will have to send someone to Gusu for a trip, this matter is not completely solved, and he will have to be chewed again in the next year. ”
Hou Haomiao smiled: "There are also times when you Lin Lan is worried, haha, it's comfortable to look at." Think about the time when you ruled in the academy, relieve your anger! ”
Lin Lan took a sip of wine, raised her eyebrows, and said, "I won't give you any more questions this year, just wait for an arithmetic class that is even more cruel than Lao Wang!" ”
"Huh? Nineteen, I'll just talk about it. Nineteen, I was wrong......"
……
……
I thought that this matter would wait for a letter from Yangzhou, explain it a little, and leave a copywriter to forget it, but I didn't expect that there was no letter from Yangzhou, and the day before the list was released, Li Dengyun's invitation was sent to the Lin family's old house.
This invitation is naturally not to invite a few members of the Lin family, but to invite Lin Lan alone, which is a bit unpredictable. It stands to reason that Lee Teng-yun is not wrong in doing this, and according to the laws of Dajing, it is true that an unidentified person cannot be allowed to enter the examination institute.
If you want to say that it is not authentic, it is that it is not notified in advance, which makes people unprepared.
Pingjiang County was not far away, and Lin Lan's master and servant were not in a hurry, so they naturally walked over gracefully. Lin Lan changed into a long shirt, it was spring, and it was not so cold this day, and then wrapped in a big jacket, she would sweat and feel even more uncomfortable when she walked a lot.
Shun Yu followed behind Lin Lan and muttered, "Young Master, why do I think this matter is unreliable? ”
"What's not reliable?"
"You think, our old man is older than him, and he is so unsympathetic to the county test this time, he must be deliberately making things difficult. Since you've torn your face, it's not an afterthought to invite you to dinner at this time. ”
Lin Lan smiled and said, "So what? Can he still eat both of us? Everyone in the old house of the Lin family knows that we went to the county government and the county lord invited a banquet, if we can't come back, my uncle and they are not vegetarians. ”
Since the other party made a clear move, Lin Lan was naturally not afraid to accept it. He wanted to see what other means Lee Teng-yun could have.
In the back hall of the Pingjiang County Ya, Lee Teng-yun had to send a letter to his home in accordance with the custom every three months. The Dajing Dynasty stipulated that foreign officials below the fifth rank were not allowed to bring their families to take office, and because of this, in addition to being able to reunite during the New Year's holidays, many expatriate officials were not at home all year round.
"Master Zhang, the messenger sent it."
"All right, sir." This Li Dengyun is still a very homesick person, honest and kind, and has deep feelings for his wife, he does not accept a concubine, and every time they meet, they are like newlyweds.
He looked at the sparrows on the eaves and muttered, "It's indispensable to be guarded." ”
When he was stunned, the official had already brought Lin Lan's master and servant over.
"Meet the county master."
"Lin Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, please."
Lin Lan didn't dare to hold it up, lost her etiquette, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." You first please. ”
The two sat down, and Lin Lan glanced at the wine and food on the table, which were not extravagant dishes, but some ordinary and simple dishes. Li Dengyun smiled and said, "Yu Lu is humble, today's hospitality to Lin Gongzi was paid by Li out of his own pocket, so ......"
"Oh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Lin Lan was a little puzzled, what is this for, acting? Or do you want to say that he is just a clear stream, and it is within his duty to catch himself, and he is acting according to the laws of Dajing?
Li Dengyun poured wine for Lin Lan and continued: "Lord Ling Zun must have left at this time. ”
"It's a shame to be a son of man but let my father worry about it."
Li Dengyun raised his eyebrows, the meaning of Lin Lan's words had already indirectly indicated that Lin Ruhai was already on the way here, he put down his wine glass and said: "Lin Gongzi, this matter is really not deliberately difficult by Li, if there is something to offend, please bear with me." ”
"No, no, no, Li County's order is handled impartially in this matter, how dare he complain in his later life." Lin Lan smiled slightly, "It's just ...... My lord, why didn't you bring it up when you paid the insurance policy before? If you go back at that time, you can go back and forth to Yangzhou, isn't it? ”
The wine glass in Li Dengyun's hand trembled, and Lin Lan's words were in his words, and everything he said was just a cover-up.
Patrol the history of the salt court, although this official position is not of high rank, but the status is special, and the saint is hand-picked, and he does not have enough qualifications, so he can't sit on it at all. What's more, the Lin family still has a huge Jia Mansion behind him, how can he, a small county commander, provoke him?
"If Li is still in charge of Pingjiang County next year, he will give Lin Gongzi some compensation. This matter is a matter of poor consideration by Li. This meal should be a reparation for Li's sin, okay? ”
"How dare you, Lin County's order is legal and reasonable, but it is just negligent in the future." Lin Lan raised her eyebrows, what is this? Hit a hammer and give a sweet date? Compensate? Does he need compensation?
The dishes on the table didn't move much. Lin Lan got up and said, "Regarding this matter, Lin County Ling is within his duties, and there is no need to apologize. Presumably in a few days, the copywriting from Yangzhou will arrive, and he will leave later. ”
"Oh, then Li won't send it. Trouble Lin Gongzi to send a good news back in advance, the nine members of the Lin family have all passed the county test, which is gratifying. ”
"Lin County Order, ah......" Lin Lan looked at the clouds covering the waning moon.
Li Dengyun stood on the steps of the back hall and raised his eyebrows, "Huh? ”
"It's a good thing for people to have principles, if you don't deliberately make things difficult, why do you have to do it later?" Lin Lan looked at Li Dengyun with a smile and arched his hand, "Farewell." ”
With that, he left with Shun slipping away.
Lee Teng-yun made him feel sick when he did this. Uncle Wenchang has not passed the county examination for more than 30 years, and suddenly giving a sweet date at this time is an insult to knowledge or an insult to Lin Wenchang's personality?
