After winning Xiucai, the attitude towards Lin Jin at home and outside the family has changed dramatically, not like before, treating her as a child, but treating her as an adult, especially when socializing with foreign affairs, this change can be better reflected.

used to interact with those adults, although Lin Jin came forward on behalf of the Lin family, in the eyes of those adults, she still regarded her as a yellow-haired child, and most of them chose to talk to the housekeeper who followed her, rather than talking to her, and regarded her as a symbol-like existence. But after she became famous, the situation improved greatly. In the eyes of adults, she seems to have grown up all of a sudden and can take on things.

Because I went to Gusu a year ago, so Daiyu's birthday gift this year Lin Jin has not been delivered, although it is now August, but Lin Jin still decided to make up for it. Because Daiyu likes to read, considering the problem of lighting in this era, considering Daiyu's eyesight, and thinking of the reflection principle of glass mirrors, Lin Jin wanted to make a lampshade with six cylindrical shapes, three sides and glass mirrors inlaid on the top and bottom.

Just when she and the craftsman were busy working in the tool room, she overheard a summons outside the door, held an inkstone and opened the door to greet her, and Xiangling passed the word that Lin Ruhai invited Lin Jin to the front to meet guests.

Lin Jin changed into the clothes of the guest, came to the living room in the front yard, and came to the door, before entering the house, he heard a loud voice from inside: "...... The Qionglin banquet hairpin flower seems to be yesterday's, but I didn't expect that nearly 20 years have passed in a flash, and our brothers have met again. For the sake of you and me, since we are in the same year, I hope that the virtuous brother will not hesitate to advise. ”

The living room of the official's home, because when meeting guests, may talk about some hidden events in the officialdom, so, the sound insulation is very good, usually standing outside the door, under normal circumstances, you can hear someone talking inside, but you can never hear what is said, but at this time you can hear it clearly, Lin Jin couldn't help but glance at the little guy who was guarding the door. Seeing her eyes, the little maid who was originally bound saw her eyes, hurriedly walked out three steps, and stopped when he was a stone's throw away from the door of the house.

"Brother Zongping said this, didn't he slap me in the face? You and I are officials in the same dynasty and serve the imperial court, so where does the word 'advice' come from? Actually, I ......"

Lin Jin, who entered the house, interrupted Lin Ruhai's words.

"Brother Zongping, this is the dog, and he has won the talent in today's scientific examination. Sumire, I've seen Uncle Zhou soon. When Lin Ruhai introduced Lin Jin to the guests, there was a slight show off in his tone.

As soon as Lin Jin entered the house, her attention was attracted by the guest who came to the house. From his and Lin Ruhai's words before, I heard that he and Lin Ruhai were fellow scholars, but he didn't look like a scholar at all, he looked reckless, more like a military general. After listening to Lin Ruhai's words, she hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle Zhou is good." ”

As soon as she finished the salute, she was pulled by this old gentleman who seemed to be a general, looked up and down and praised: "This is the Qilin'er of the virtuous brother?" Born with good looks, and there is talent to learn, it is really outstanding, not more than a few years, I am afraid that it is the young phoenix clear in the old phoenix. ”

Lin Ruhai smiled and was modest, while quietly rescuing Lin Jin from Zhou Zongping's fan-like hand, thinking that other people's grandsons were about the same age as Lin Jin, the little show-off heart that was originally born because of Lin Jin's excellence couldn't help but be gray. "It's just a naughty child, how can he compare with his brother's child, I heard that the eldest nephew has been promoted to a mansion, and the second nephew is now serving in the Hanlin Academy. From this point of view, I am afraid that the two nephews will not be able to win out of the blue in a few years. ”

Zhou Zongping said with a smile: "The virtuous brother is too modest, and the virtuous nephew was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, which shows that he is very smart and has a family history. My two children can't compare, they can't compare. Pointing to the two teenagers standing beside him, he beckoned, "Come on, come on, Lang'er, Ming'er, I've seen you Uncle Lin Shi." Virtuous nephew, these are my two grandsons, you are of the same age, we should be close to each other during our stay in Yangzhou, and learn more. ”

Lin Jin had already seen the two boys standing behind Zhou Zongping, but because the other party and Zhou Zongping were not very similar in appearance, if it weren't for him revealing that the other party was his grandson, she really didn't think about the relationship between the two as grandchildren. Because there is really too much difference, the appearance of these two looks quite in line with the world's impression of a scholar. Even though Lin Jin had already looked carefully, he still couldn't see the slightest shadow of recklessness in the two of them.

Lin Jin complained silently in her heart: "Being able to turn Meng Zhang Fei into a scholar has reversed the powerful genetic power, and I think it was improved by marrying a wife." ”

"Shi-that uncle?" Although Lin Jin had long known that for people of Lin Ruhai's age, most of his grandsons in this era were as old as him, but so far, it was the first time she had encountered this kind of thing, because it took a long time before she realized that the "uncle" in Zhou Zongping's mouth referred to herself, not Lin Ruhai.

Looking at the two teenagers named Zhou Lang and Zhou Ming in front of him, who were one or two years older than him, and were called "Uncle Shi" and "Uncle Shi" by them, Lin Jin suddenly felt as if he had suddenly aged a lot, and he only felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but look at Lin Ruhai.

"The three of them are of the same age, so there is no need to be separated from each other, just be friends." Lin Ruhai saw Lin Jin's discomfort and smiled to relieve her.

"Sumire, you come to entertain the two little friends." Lin Ruhai turned his head to Zhou Zongping and said, "Brother Zongping, when you come to Yangzhou, let the younger brother do a little bit of the landlord's will." Try crab roe lion's head, boiled dried shreds, crystal meat, Wensi tofu,...... Thirty-year-old daughter Red; Look at the twenty-four bridges and the slender West Lake, the Jiangnan style is different from the barbecue and burning knives outside the plug you served before, and the sunset in the desert is different in the end. ”

"Naturally, it is indispensable to harass the virtuous brother. I tasted this shrimp, crab or something, and I didn't like it very much, but the grilled whole pig's head and Zhang Sihuizi's whole sheep were quite appetizing to me. It's just that the method I ate before was not authentic, and the taste was almost there, so I had to let the virtuous brother lead me to taste the authentic method to see how authentic it was. ”

Zhou Zongping rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don't be busy with the wine and food first, before that, you and I will have to kill one or two games." Back then, you and I didn't play a lot of games, you came and went, but I died happily, and I still remember my brother. So far, I haven't met an opponent like yours who will make me feel like this. As he spoke, he beckoned to the servant and brought the chessboard.

Hearing that Zhou Zongping was going to play chess with Lin Ruhai, Lin Jin was suddenly not interested in pulling Zhou Lang and Zhou Ming away.
