Chapter Ninety-Six: The Scholar
The next day, not long after Lin Manxue got up, she saw the patriarch Lin Wenfu coming home with his eldest grandson Lin Xiu.
Generally speaking, this patriarch will not come to the door if he is fine, this patriarch suddenly came to the door, Lin Deming's face immediately changed, his first feeling was that it must be the third brother who sued the patriarch, and he was not ready to punish him, right?
Lin Deming thought of this and knelt in front of Lin Wenfu, "Patriarch, I, I didn't have unfilial piety, I, I obviously handed over all the money I earned, but my father didn't ask for it, you can't blame me." ”
Lin Wenfu frowned when he heard this, he brought his grandson to the door today, obviously he wanted to ask Lin Haoming's opinion, and wanted to treat his grandson as a scholar, but as soon as he entered the door, this Lin Deming actually knelt at his feet and begged for mercy, and he was still unfilial, what did Lin Deming do without knowing it?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Lin Wenfu calmly sat down in the main seat of the hall.
Lin Deming sighed in his heart when he heard this, eh, the patriarch didn't come to settle accounts with him, but as a result, he was too nervous and threw himself into the net, Lin Manxue really didn't know what to say when she saw this.
Her second brother is obviously bold, but he can do that series of things, and he doesn't know what to say.
Now that the patriarch doesn't know about this, where is Lin Deming willing to say it himself, he squeaked, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just weak." ”
"Are you alright?" Lin Wenfu asked with half-squinted eyes, seeing Lin Haoming smiling, the rest of the Lin family had normal faces, Lin Wenfu thought, there should be no big deal, otherwise Lin Haoming would not be like this, since the Lin family is unwilling to say, he is too lazy to investigate.
"Deming, I don't know what you think, but Deming I want to tell you, you see, life in the family is getting better and better, you also have money in your hand, what is there to make a fuss, you used to be so poor You can live well, but now life is better than noisy all day long, is it possible that you can really only share poverty and not wealth? Think about it for yourself, if it's good for you to make a fuss. "His old Lin family finally came out with a genius like Lin Haoming, but because of Lin Deming's useless drag, how can you warn him well, his posture is clear, he is on Lin Haoming's side.
As for why Lin Deming is directly saying that he is making trouble, in the eyes of Lin Wenfu, Lin Haoming is a good baby who can read, how can he make trouble if he is reasonable, and even if there are some minor problems, isn't this how it should be? is so strong at his reading, and all his little problems should be tolerated, besides, for so long, the Lin family has been making trouble in the second room, and Lin Haoming has never made trouble.
"Patriarch, I know, I know." Lin Deming nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, isn't there a leg injury? If you have an injury, you can recuperate in the house, and don't go out for a walk. Lin Wenfu just didn't ask Lin Deming to think about it behind closed doors.
"Patriarch, Lin Qi did something wrong before and has been locked up for many days, I believe she has also learned to be well-behaved, see if you can let Lin Qi come back." Lin Deming couldn't help but put forward his own request.
"She's been well-behaved, you know, you've been to see her?" Lin Wenfu couldn't help but say sarcastically, as far as he knew, Lin Qi had been locked up for so long, only Lin Haoming's brother and sister had gone to see her, and the other Lin family members did not go.
Lin Deming was dumbfounded when he heard this, then shook his head and said: "Patriarch, Lin Qi is a girl, being by Guan Zongci is already a great punishment for her, I believe she will never dare again, please let her come out." ”
"Alright, let's go in two days." Lin Wenfu said very simply, it is said that Lin Qi has been well-behaved a lot, at least he doesn't dare to say anything, as for the rest, he didn't want Lin Qi to change completely, as long as he can know when and where he can say anything, he doesn't care about it.
Lin Deming nodded when he heard this, the patriarch was very satisfied if he could promise him, and besides, his feet were not completely healed, and it would be just right in two days.
Wang Caifeng hurriedly helped Lin Deming into the room to rest at this time.
Lin Haoming asked with a smile at this time: "Patriarch Grandpa, you came here on purpose at this time, is there something wrong?" ”
Lin Yongnian had also come to the hall at this time, but he didn't speak, and Lin Wenfu didn't look at him now, so he didn't interject.
"It's not a big deal, just ask, do you have a scholar, if you don't have a scholar, what do you think of my family's Lin Xiu?" Lin Wenfu said straight to the point.
Lin Wenfu's words shocked several people present, especially Lin Yongnian, who was the grandson of the patriarch, and now he took the initiative to come to the door and said that he wanted to be a scholar for Lin Haoming, the scholar said it well, but he was not waiting for people, that is to say, it was a subordinate, the grandson of the patriarch, he remembered that it was also a study for many years, but the grandson of the patriarch spent so much money on training was willing to give it to his son.
The patriarch is a monkey spirit monkey spirit, if Lin Haoming is not promising, how can he be willing to let his grandson go to serve Lin Haoming, Lin Yongnian himself is a little in a trance, obviously the memory of grief and regret in the previous life is still rolling in his chest, but now it has all changed, his son is promising, his daughter is also sensible, even the seemingly vicious wife does not seem to be so vicious, he is a little skeptical that the memory of his previous life is fake.
Lin Yongnian was shocked, and several other members of the Lin family were also shaken.
Lin Haoming felt that Lin Xiu's clan brother paid special attention to him yesterday, but at that time, he just thought that Lin Xiu wanted to make friends with him, but he didn't expect that he was going to be a scholar for himself.
This matter flashed in Lin Haoming's mind, and he agreed to this matter, since the patriarch did not hesitate to give his grandson to him as a current person, if he refused, it would be tantamount to hating the other party, after all, even his subordinates couldn't look down on him, isn't this a slap in the face? Moreover, the grandson of the patriarch under him is equivalent to the interests of both parties being completely tied together, and he can rest assured that the Lin family village will be in charge of the future of his grandson.
He has a lot of henchmen now, but those people can't see people at the moment, and the origins of those people can't stand up to investigation, so how can he make those people die? So it's better for his scholar to have a person on the surface, and Lin Xiu is very good, he has read and read, so he only needs to say a little bit about many things, Lin Xiu can do a good job, of course, Lin Xiu is also a little bad as a scholar, that is, this is a clan brother, you can't really treat him as a subordinate, but this is not a big problem, since Lin Xiu is willing to be a scholar, he should do the job that a scholar should do, and he just needs to respect the other party a little, or mention the other party when reading.
The meaning of the patriarch sending people to him as a scholar, he understands that with Lin Xiu's identity, it is definitely impossible to be a scholar for a lifetime, he follows him for more things, hoping to learn to read with him, but Lin Xiu only needs to be with him for a few years, he believes that he can cultivate a new henchman, and he doesn't mind helping Lin Xiu when the time comes, officialdom is never alone, he also needs the help of his fellow clansmen.
"Brother Lin Xiu has been reading books for many years, and he is more than a scholar, but will he be too wronged by Brother Lin Xiu?" Lin Haoming had already agreed in his heart, but he couldn't help but lift Lin Xiu in his mouth.
"What is there to be aggrieved about, it would be nice to be able to follow you and read some books by the way." Lin Wenfu said with a smile.
The biggest advantage of Lin Xiu following Lin Haoming is that he can borrow Lin Haoming's books to read, the books that Lin Haoming reads are basically the books that Fang Jiayou asked him to read, those are rare good books, and there are even some unique books, these books are not books that Lin Xiu's son of a small village chief can borrow.
Books are very precious things in these years, especially some Confucian manuscripts, and some books in this small place of Yanxian are even more limited, if Lin Xiu's own talent is limited, then what his master can teach also greatly limits his knowledge.
"Then I'll be wronged by Brother Lin Xiu." Lin Haoming said to Lin Xiu with a smile.
Lin Wenfu couldn't help laughing when he saw this, Lin Haoming, this kid is young, but he understands the world better than anyone else, smart, you see Lin Xiu is now saying that he will be a scholar, that is, his subordinate, if you change to a child of this age in another family, I am afraid that the tail will be raised to the sky, but look at Lin Haoming, people are still screaming one by one, where is it regarded as a subordinate, and it will be said in the future, it can be said that the clan brother failed to find the scholar at that time, and Lin Haoming is also young, this clan brother has to take care of him, and volunteered to be a scholar, At that time, the reputation was very good.
"Then from tomorrow onwards, Lin Xiu will be a scholar for you to accompany you to study, if he does something bad, you can say it directly, you are welcome." Lin Wenfu, who made his wish come true, was very happy, and he sent several children and grandchildren in the family to study, but unfortunately the master said that they were not too good, but he was still unwilling, and tried his best to plan for his children and grandchildren, fortunately, Lin Xiu, the child, also listened to him, and only hoped that this child and Lin Haoming could learn something from him.
"Where, Brother Lin Xiu is older than me, and he does things properly, where can there be any problems, in addition to being a little good at reading, I have to rely on Brother Lin Xiu's teaching." The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the kindness of the people was so obvious, Lin Haoming was naturally willing to give Lin Xiu face.
Lin Manxue watched the two sides quickly reach cooperation, her brother is amazing, he won a scholar without much effort, the important thing is that the other party is still very satisfied, the old fox-like smile and touting, it can't be compared.
