There is half a month left before the county test, although Lin Ruhai is an official in Yangzhou, his ancestral home is in Suzhou Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter Lin Lan's household registration moved, if she wanted to take the county exam, she had to go back to Gusu to take the exam.
This matter, in the middle of the year, Lin Ruhai mentioned it to his cousins in the old mansion, as long as Lin Lan went to take the exam, he didn't need to worry about other things.
Lin Ruhai also knew that Lin Lan had the habit of recognizing the bed, and the ability to cause trouble was too strong, so he simply let Lin Lan go to Gusu as soon as possible, so as not to cause any more trouble.
Outside Gusu City, the descendants of the Lin family's old mansion were waiting here early. Pinching the days and calculating carefully, the son who wants to come to the imperial historian should also come.
"Is it Young Master Lin Lanlan?"
Lin Lan lifted the curtain, twisted her stiff neck, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"The master thought about it a few days ago, waiting for Young Master Lan to come over."
The boys' test was held in February, March and April. In other words, if Lin Lan passes smoothly, he will not be able to return to Yangzhou until at least mid-April.
Slipping out of the carriage, he stretched a big lazy waist, stood on the carriage, crossed his hands on his waist, didn't know, he thought he was a young master.
"This is Gusu City."
When the subordinate saw the arrogant Shunyo, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked, "This is ......?"
Lin Lan pressed Shunyo down and said with a smile: "This is my little scholar, who has been spoiled by me." ”
The servant smiled, if it was in the old mansion, such an evil servant would have broken his leg a long time ago.
"Let's go, it's all here, don't let a few cousins and uncles wait for a long time."
"That's what Young Master Lan said." The servant got into the carriage and drove towards the old house.
……
……
The Lin family was also listed as a noble, which was regarded as a founding meritorious service, although it is no longer hereditary now, but from the layout and size of the old mansion, it was also a wealthy family back then.
As soon as the carriage arrived, the housekeeper of the Lin family's old house came out to greet him.
"Young Master Lan, you're finally here. The eldest master, the second master, and the fourth master have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, so hurry up and invite you. ”
Although Lin Ruhai now lives in the official residence, he also spends a lot of money every year for the renovation of the old mansion, so the old mansion of the Lin Mansion can be renewed.
"Uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, Lan'er has asked you to say goodbye."
"Ah Lan, a few days ago, during the Shangyuan Festival, they all came to Gusu, and they didn't come to the old mansion to sit, so this is a life!"
Lin Lan smiled awkwardly, he didn't come at all, he was a ghost, but he couldn't say it clearly, this took Shikui, if it was still known that he didn't come to Gusu, maybe there would be some kind of chaos again, this time, he just wanted to take the exam quietly, and then go back to Yangzhou," several cousins and uncles laughed. After a tiring journey in the past few days, you must have heard that the little nephew was infected with the wind and cold, so he didn't come to visit, it was Lan'er. ”
"Haha, if you can take the poetry of the poetry club, you can be regarded as winning glory for our Lin family. In the past few days, there are really a lot of Gusu talents who have come to Lin Mansion to see who you Lin Lan is. ”
Lin Lan said: "Don't dare to hold it up." This time, when the little nephew came to participate in the county exam, he naturally had to lower his posture and not be arrogant or impatient. ”
Da Bolin Yong stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, if you have this mentality, this boy will definitely be able to pass the test." ”
The fourth uncle was the youngest among the uncles, and he stroked his little black beard and said, "Our Lin Mansion is thin. With your father, the four males of our generation are not brothers, but they are better than compatriots. The most promising is also your father, let's see if you can win glory for your father. ”
"The little nephew must work hard and forge ahead."
Fourth Uncle Lin Feng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "With your knowledge, this county test is just a small test, but there is no problem." ”
Lin Lan smiled, to tell the truth, he really hadn't read many scripture history books, and he was sleepy when he saw those things. It's also thanks to Lin Lan that she has some literary background, and she makes up a few sentences like a cat and a tiger, although the article is not as good as those everyone, but she can barely make up her life to read, compared to those sour essays that are dead reading, going around and around, and the text is not up to the mark.
The private school of the Lin family's old house is located in a hall in the east wing.
Lin Feng stroked his beard and said, "This was your father's mansion. Now that your family lives in Yangzhou, which is vacant, your father is also very concerned about the study of the juniors in the clan, so he hired a gentleman to teach in this hall. ”
After returning home, who doesn't want to do something, they will continue their blessings to their younger generations. This is the family, this is the bloodline.
When Lin Lan followed Lin Feng to the private school, it happened that Mr. Teach was asking students to fill out insurance policies.
Lin Feng said: "Your registration has been reported before the first month. You should also fill out this policy. ”
Lin Lan nodded and walked over.
The old master, with a pair of sunken eyes, somewhat like a skeleton, glanced at Lin Lan, and seemed to have no such old students in his impression, so he asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Lin Lan."
The old master searched for it on the roster, and happened to find the name Lin Lan at the end.
"Cousin Lin Lan, you're here!" Lin Bicheng, who had just signed the insurance policy, turned around and saw Lin Lan, who he had just met during the New Year's Festival, and walked over with a smile.
Among the four families, except for Lin Ruhai, there is only one seedling, and the uncle has three sons and two grandchildren, which can be regarded as the most prosperous. Lin Lan saw that this time the children who took the test had their own juniors, and she was really a little shy.
The same generation as himself, the two sons of the fourth uncle's family and the youngest son of the second uncle, plus Lin Lan, a total of four, and the remaining five are all bear children who are a generation younger than him.
Great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents have all been filled in, and they only need to go up and sign a letter and write down their names, ages, physiques and other resumes.
In addition, the five candidates also have to settle insurance policies with each other, and if there are cheaters, five people will sit together.
When the old master saw that all the people had signed their names, he handed over an insurance policy with only four signatures to the fourth uncle of the Lin family, and said, "Fourth master, Brother Wenchang's insurance policy, you can take it and sign it." ”
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Okay." I've already found this student, so I'll take care of the rest. ”
The old master arched his hand and said, "Then there will be labor." Alas? By the way, this Lin Lan is not Lin Sanye's family...... That poet is everyone, right? ”
Lin Feng nodded, he didn't expect that even the private school gentleman at home knew Lin Lan's name, he was really talented and couldn't hide it, "It's this person." ”
The old master looked at Lin Lan who walked to Lin Feng's side with a smile, and said, "The future is terrible, the future is terrible." ”
"Fourth uncle, what does this old master want to express?"
The fourth uncle of the Lin family said with a smile: "What Old Master Qian means is that in this county exam, I believe you will be very good, so I will wait for good news." ”
Lin Lan is a little stressed, this girl, fighting with the ancients, isn't this looking for shit!
