Chapter 199: The forester was forced to donate an official
When King Chun heard what he said, half of his mind was immediately gone. He looked at Lin Shaoxuan in front of him, smiling like a fortune boy, and his voice was a little kinder.
"Well, that's good. I can't believe you can do this at such a young age. This king admires a talented young talent like you the most, do you want to go further? ”
Further? Lin Shaoxuan was beating a drum in his heart, but he immediately said gratefully: "This is naturally what I think, I was saying that I would go back to develop business after the students released the lists, and then find some other ways." If the prince is willing to help, the villain is naturally grateful! ”
"Hey, don't just focus on business, how profitable can you be? In this way, you take some silver out and donate it to a foreigner, and you will be idle for a few days, and when you have your qualifications, I will assign you a position in the tea field. ”
The tea field, the full name of the tea field, is in charge of the monopoly of salt and tea. Such a fat shortage is naturally in the hands of Prince Chun, he said that he would give it to whoever he wanted, and even the emperor would not refute his face.
After saying this, King Chun smiled and held the teacup, only waiting for the little rich merchant to kneel down and thank him, who knew that Lin Shaoxuan was stunned for a long time with ignorant eyes, and then asked, "What does the tea field do?" There is no tea mountain in the villain's industry? ”
Tut! I said are you really stupid or fake stupid? King Chun looked at his stunned appearance, and had to shake his head and smile.
"The tea field is in charge of the salt tea monopoly of all roads, if you do the official work of the two Zhejiang roads, you can return to your hometown."
Lin Shaoxuan is really blind to these official positions or something, he only knows how to look at official products, how can he understand these official positions and powers? He knows it, isn't that an honorific title for a squire and a rich man?
Prince Chun specially called him to ask him to donate his official today, what does it mean?
Lin Shaoxuan was confused, and didn't dare to refuse directly, so he could only pretend to blush and said: "The prince is willing to bring the villain, and the villain is grateful." It's just that I haven't read any books since I was a child, and I can't even hold a pen well, so I'm afraid I'll be laughed at if I become an official, right? ”
What, you kid is illiterate? King Chun was taken aback. If he hasn't read a book, it's really useless, but if he refuses to be an official, how can he make him willing to take out all his family wealth?
King Chun sneered and said, "It's just a layman, but it's just a casual job. With this king here, are you still afraid that you will not be able to be an official? ”
There is no need for a heavy hammer to ring the drum, as soon as these words were spoken, Lin Shaoxuan immediately understood that today's official, he had to donate if he didn't want to.
"Such a villain, thank you for your trouble."
"Okay, there you go. I'll order someone to do it, and you can go back and hear the news. After King Chun finished talking about business, he served tea and sent off the guests, Lin Shaoxuan withdrew from the study in a daze, and was led back to the opera garden by the little servant.
Although it took a lot of time to go back and forth, most of it was spent walking, and he didn't say a few words at all, and he didn't understand what Prince Chun was looking for him to do. Based on his instinct of years in business, he always felt that this was not so simple.
Lin Shaoxuan returned to the table and sat down, Jiang Jinyu saw that his face was wrong when he came back, and immediately leaned on his side.
"What's wrong? What did Prince Chun tell you? ”
"I'll talk about it later." Lin Shaoxuan smiled reluctantly, held his warm hands in the palm of his hand, and then settled down. Anyway, as long as Gyokuro is still with me.
Lin Shaoxuan had no intention of drinking, and it was not good to leave the table rashly, so he had to cheer up and laugh with the newly acquainted sons. After listening to the play, he was about to say goodbye, but Zhao Cong didn't stay long, and immediately sent someone to send them back to the inn.
Alas, tired! In just half a day, although he was just drinking and chatting, Lin Shaoxuan was even more tired than experiencing a business negotiation. In his heart, he repeatedly scrutinized the scene of meeting with King Chun, but he couldn't see what this prince wanted.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Where did you go when you left the table just now? Why do you look preoccupied? Jiang Jinyu closed the door of the inner room, pulled Lin Shaoxuan to a chair and sat down, and poured him a cup of tea with her own hands.
"I don't know what's going on." Lin Shaoxuan didn't want to worry about Jinyu, but he didn't want to hide it from him, so he told him in detail what happened in King Chun's study just now.
"Call you to donate officials? Is Prince Chun addicted to helping people? We didn't ask him, but he took the initiative to bring it up, what did he want? Jiang Jinyu couldn't figure it out.
Lin Shaoxuan held his hand and pulled him into his arms, and said with a wry smile: "The water in this capital is deep, I really don't want to jump into it." After the palace test list is released, we will go back to Hangzhou immediately! ”
"It's okay, we have seen the prosperity of the capital, and we should go back to Hangzhou as soon as possible to live comfortably." Jiang Jinyu nodded.
Hangzhou, is it really that easy to go back?
Prince Chun had already raised the big knife, and Lin Shaoxuan had to stretch his neck and let others cut the meat. Not to mention that he is in someone else's territory, even if he is still nesting in Hangzhou at this time, he can only be obedient and obedient to whatever King Chun wants him to do. This is the gap in strength, no matter how rich your family is, it can't withstand the power of the people.
Prince Chun didn't ask for much, only sent a little steward to find him and got 50,000 taels of silver tickets, and within a few days, he sent a silk seal document, even with a crown and a court dress, Lin Shaoxuan has since become a foreigner from the five grades.
Looking at this official seal document, Lin Shaoxuan was not happy at all.
When Jiang Jinyu was awarded the title of Lin Lang General, the whole house was full of joy, and Lin Jiang and Lin Jiang both raised their eyebrows and celebrated for several days. But at this time, Lin Shaoxuan became a forester, but he was not happy at all, he always felt that this official seal was very hot, and he couldn't wait to throw it away immediately, and go back to continue to be his pastoral rich man.
He had already asked someone about it, and a person from the fifth rank could get it for a few thousand taels of silver, but Prince Chun received 50,000 taels from him. A dignified prince, naturally he will not take advantage of him, so what is the use of the 50,000 taels?
"Outside the forester, congratulations! Now that you are also an official of the imperial court, it is time to invite our brothers out and have fun, right? As soon as the official who passed on the order left, several people brought by Lin Shaoxuan from Hangzhou crowded over, laughing and picking up his official uniform to look at the belt, and urging him to invite wine to celebrate, among which the drunken green cow screamed the loudest.
The two masters have been nesting in the inn for the past few days, and he can't go out to play, which is really boring.
Well, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and King Chun will have any tricks to follow, there is no need to trouble himself now, and even the brothers will be frightened.
Lin Shaoxuan threw away the official seal in his hand, and laughed loudly: "Okay, today the second master has a treat, call the shopkeeper to prepare the table, and everyone celebrates the day." Taking advantage of the good weather, let's go to Guangfu Temple tomorrow to play and relax for a day. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Fang Peihan smiled and went out to find the innkeeper. Lin Shaoxuan also became an official, and he was the happiest here. The two sons not only saved his life, but also saved his whole family, and he had long regarded Lin Shaoxuan as a master worth following for a lifetime.
Whether he is genuinely happy or put on a show for others, Lin Shaoxuan has to make a festive appearance. This night, a group of 100 people from Hangzhou set up a banquet at the Yunlai Inn, and everyone celebrated the freshly baked forester Wailang. Everyone recited poems and drank and listened to music, and they didn't go back to their rooms to rest until late at night.
Lin Shaoxuan's heart naturally refused to be seen, and the next day he really took Jiang Jinyu and went to Guangfu Temple outside the city under the escort of Su Quan, Chen Hao, Lao Niu and Fang Peihan. He didn't go to invite others to go with him, but only asked Su Quan to take the silver to get some clothes, shoes and socks, and bought some incense and candles to sacrifice rice, flour, grain and oil, and planned to go to Guangfu Temple to worship God and spread blessings.
It's nearly March, spring is melting, although the suburbs of Beijing are not as full of spring flowers as the city, but they have their own splendid wild fun. A few people rode away, and when they were blown by the soft spring breeze, Lin Shaoxuan felt a lot more comfortable.
"I heard that the ladies and ladies in the city like to come to this Guangfu Temple for incense, and even the emperor's favorite nine princesses often come here to pray for blessings. It is rumored that this ninth princess was born beautiful and unparalleled, and was deeply favored by the emperor and the queen. If only we could meet this ninth princess today. Fang Peihan stretched out his hand and pulled the willow branches hanging down on the side of the road while talking about the gossip in the capital.
"Your son is three years old, and he still wants to be a colt? I don't think you're playing! The drunken green cow spat unceremoniously.
"Don't say it, if it were just based on the looks of our little brother Peihan, there would really be hope to be this colt." Su Quan, who didn't speak much, returned to the capital and was a lot more lively, and he couldn't help but interject at this time.
Lin Jiang and the others listened to their lively conversation, and they were also laughing and laughing immediately, listening to their nonsense, who knew that Chen Hao's words turned around, but it was on the two of them.
"If you want me to say, the most qualified person here is Jiang Langjiang. I heard that this ninth princess likes the handsome young man the most, if she sees the true face of our Jiang Gongzi, I am afraid that she will immediately cry and shout to marry him. ”
"I don't think our Second Master Lin is bad, and he is completely worthy of that princess."
The more they talked, the more unseemly they became, and Lin Shaoxuan hurriedly stopped: "Brothers, I have already been famous." ”
"Haha, I forgot, you two have been married a long time ago, and you even have a son!" Several people burst into laughter, and the drunken Qingniu even laughed so much that he held his stomach, "I heard about it, Shu'er called her mother when she saw you." ”
Lin Shaoxuan was annoyed and angry, pointed at the drunken green cow and scolded: "I think you don't want to be mixed!" Do you want to drink Lao Tzu's fairy drunk! ”
A few people made trouble, Lin Shaoxuan eliminated the depression of the past few days, worshiped the Bodhisattva in Guangfu Temple with everyone, donated incense money, sent monk clothes, shoes and socks, and enjoyed a tour in the temple, and then returned with all his joy.
At the same moment, in a deep mansion in the capital, a black-clothed guard quietly pushed the door and walked into a dark room. The guard knelt down and reported when he entered the house: "Back to the master, Lin Shaoxuan has taken a few entourages to Guangfu Temple on the outskirts of Beijing. ”
"Okay, you immediately take a team of people and wait on the way back to the city, and bring him here for me." A gloomy voice came from behind the desk in the dark.
"Yes!" The man in black did not leave, and then asked, "What about his entourage?" ”
"Kill! Not a single one to stay! ”
