In Lin Fusheng's worries, the ox cart finally drove closer. He hurried to the ox cart www.biquge.info wanted to ask his father about Lin Dezhong's whereabouts.

"Alas! I wanted to sell it for more money and make a deal for you, but I didn't expect today's trading to be so bad. After stopping the ox cart, Lin Shitong saw his son coming, so he said with a sad face.

"Dad, don't worry, seventeen taels of silver is enough."

It turns out that my father is worried about this, but what about the kid in Lin Dezhong?

Just thinking of this, Lin Fusheng was suddenly frightened by a strange scream.

"Wow! Hahaha......" With this familiar laughter, Lin Dezhong's body, which was originally lying flat on the ox cart, jumped up, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, only jumped suddenly, and jumped in front of Lin Fusheng, "Follow me!" Before Lin Fusheng could react, he had been pulled aside by Lin Dezhong.

Lin Fusheng was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and looked at Lin Dezhong. This kid is a fool, he doesn't miss arms or legs, he doesn't even have a little broken skin and abrasions, and he laughs like a fool.

Well? This is not scientific!

According to reason, if he sells that painting to any scholar or literati, he will at least be scolded if he does not recruit him. Even if this kid is thick-skinned and not afraid of being scolded, it is impossible for that painting to be sold. How could he be so happy?

Lin Fusheng was confused.

He didn't expect that more confusion was still to come.

I saw Lin Dezhong stretch out a fist, and then backhand upward, mysteriously, spread his hand away.

Lin Fusheng was completely shocked, "Where did you get so much money?" ”

I saw that the broken silver of the white flowers, full of ten taels, shining with an extremely attractive light, was placed in front of his eyes.

Lin Dezhong raised his eyebrows and praised: "Oh, if you don't say it, you are still the second brother, you are shrewd." Your painting is really worth more than a lot of words. ”

"Oh?" Lin Fusheng's eyes widened, looking at the stunned young man in front of him, and he didn't know what to say.

It's really lucky, and I can't stop it. If the sky wants you to make a fortune, you just have a heel, and you can pick up two taels of money.

Lin Dezhong continued to say excitedly: "I told that grandfather, your calligraphy and paintings are all bamboo, and they are elegant. Just like his people, they are best suited to hang in the church. When the master heard this, he was so happy that he picked up the painting and admired it for a long time, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile. Asked me how much it was, I originally wanted a hundred yuan, but as soon as I raised my hand, before I stretched out a finger, the master threw me ten taels of silver. He also said that ten taels was too cheap. Haha...... did you say he had money to burn. ”

Lin Fusheng was simply an eye-opener.

Hanging on the wall? How happy can you be?!

This is really a scolding that meets the back of the ear, and scolds in vain.

What kind of master is this, I don't know the words on the painting, and I still can't understand it.

Lin Fusheng was stunned for a long time, and then he looked at Lin Dezhong and nodded. "Good luck is the head, and if you don't accept it, you can't do it."

"Hey, second brother, I'll keep three taels of your seven." Lin Dezhong said and divided the silver, and handed over the share that had been agreed in advance to Lin Fusheng. Then he said, "Hurry up, draw a few more pictures, and next time I will sell them to that person." ”

Lin Fusheng looked at the broken silver in his hand, patted Lin Dezhong's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Those three taels of silver are enough for you to spend for a while, so don't be greedy." Little brother, I will give you a piece of advice, don't go to the town recently, even if you go, don't dare to go to that foreign house, if you meet on the road, how far away, you can hide as far as you want. You have to keep it in mind. ”

After Lin Fusheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Lin Dezhong was confused, picked his head, and said disapprenorovingly: "If you don't earn any money, you still take a detour?" I read too much, and I'm stupid to read. ”

After this incident, it was soon time for the prefectural examination.

Lin Fusheng and Lin Shixiu packed their bags and prepared to go.

Xu Shi was in the house, while tidying up her husband's clothes, she whispered: "Husband, you have read more books for more than ten or twenty years than that little hairy child in Fusheng, no matter what, can you still lose to him?" Even if we can't pass the top prize, what's the matter, we have to get back to the show, the kind that is better than your father. As soon as he is sober, if he doesn't say anything else, he will know that we will have an idle meal. ”

Lin Shixiu only felt a little nervous in his throat, reluctantly hooked the corners of his mouth, and said sullenly: "Well, I know." ”

While the two were talking, Lin Shixiu carried his bags and went out of the house.

Early in the morning, Lin Shitong had already driven the ox cart out and was ready to send his brother and son on a journey.

"Fusheng, along the way, you have to listen to the words of the second uncle. Don't run around on the road. Yang, who was waiting in the courtyard, saw Lin Shixiu, bowed his head and instructed Lin Fudao.

"Don't worry, father, mother, my son will go smoothly and return safely."

"Second brother, I'm going to trouble you to take care of Fusheng more along the way." Lin Shitong also instructed his brother.

Lin Shixiu has been nervous since he agreed to take the test this year. When I got up early today, I was even more panicked. But it was already difficult to ride a tiger, and at this time, listening to the eldest brother's instructions, he could only hold on, barely squeezed out a smile, and responded: "Don't worry, eldest brother, I will be optimistic about him." ”

This early in the morning, not to mention the old man Lin and his grandmother Wang, even Lin Dezhong, who has always loved to sleep lazy, and An'er, who didn't understand anything, also got up early in the morning, stood outside the courtyard, and saw off the two students of the Lin family together.

"Second uncle, second brother, you will definitely be able to get in." An'er looked up and said with a smile.

"Well, my father and second brother will definitely be able to pass the top prize." Zhu'er rubbed her sleepy eyes, and only heard that the champion was glorious, so she said this for no reason.

Lin Dezhong saw that the big guys had spoken, so let's say it himself, "Second brother, you can come back early." This sentence really comes from the bottom of my heart.

Lin Shixiu's nose was almost crooked. Good boy, don't talk to me? I'm your father!

The old lady Wang didn't say anything blessed, but just told the two to pay attention to safety on the road, remember to eat and dress, etc.

After everyone finished instructing, when they looked at Old Man Lin again, they were already full of tears. But this crying is a bit exaggerated, it doesn't look like I'm sending my children and grandchildren to the exam, it's like ......

"Shiwen, you have to take care of yourself along the way. Don't read the book anymore, everything is according to fate, don't panic. ”

One sentence shocked everyone.

The old man is sick again.

No wonder he cried like this, most of them remembered Lin Shiwen who died in the examination room because of this.

In the end, under the tearful wave of the family, Lin Shitong waved the whip, drove the ox cart, and gradually walked away.

Ten miles of long pavilions to send each other, cherish each other's goodbyes.

After saying goodbye to his father Lin Shitong in Changting, Lin Fusheng and Lin Shixiu's uncle and nephew embarked on the road to the county seat.
