Chapter Eighty-Five: Stopping
Gusu County Ya, Gusu County Ling looked at the gift sent by Lin Jin with a hesitant expression, and said angrily: "This Lin Jin is really too arrogant and too frivolous. Could it be that the Lin family he was born in is a big family, and my Zheng family is a small family? Although he was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, his talent was not outstanding to the point of being unique, and he was admitted to the county examination of Xiucai, and he was selected by the county. This county has a share of incense with him, and this county is Gusu's parents, when he arrived in Gusu, he didn't take the initiative to visit the county, and the county posted to him, he couldn't even excuse himself, and these eyes grew to the top of his head. ”
What can the staff below say, although Lin Jin is the son of a family, they can't reach it, and they are holding the job of the county order, so they naturally follow the county order and say that Lin Jin is a person who is incomplete.
In fact, when the county examination has started in the new year, even if the Gusu County Order finds out that Lin Jin cheated in the imperial examination, it doesn't matter. This matter is involved, not only Lin Jin is unlucky, but his Gusu County Order will also suffer, but the reason why Lin Jin refuses to meet with the Gusu County Order is that he thinks it is unnecessary, why let him know, and then have such a thing in his heart.
Of course, she didn't expect that she would come to Gusu again so soon. Originally, she thought that it would take a few years later, at that time, after a few years, there were always some changes in the appearance of people, and in addition, although she and Gusu County Ling met a few times, but after a few years, his impression should be blurred, who would have thought that Yang Wan would come to the clan because she had an order, so that she ran to Gusu again after less than half a year, causing her original ideas to be in vain.
As for offending the Gusu County Order, Lin Jin didn't care. Although she gave her plan for her future to take a career path, but at her current age, if she really wants to be an official, she will have to be an official in ten or eight years at the earliest. Even if you remember, it is not impossible to shake hands and make peace, and it is possible to resolve it.
Following Yang Wan out of the patriarch's house, Lin Jin only felt tired. Obviously, it was Yang Wan who was in charge, she was just an escort, but just accompanying her and gossiping about it, she felt more tired than going into battle in person.
Back in the house, yawned, Lin Jin ordered to go down, prepare water, she had to take a bath, and then go to sleep.
"Uncle, the chicken soup from the kitchen, you drink it first and then rest. No matter how stiff it is, it's not good to sleep early or late. Yuzhu came over with a cup of fragrant chicken soup, saw her face full of fatigue, and said with concern: "What is the uncle doing today, why do you look more tired than staying up late to read?" ”
Lin Jin took the soup cup, holding a spoon to pull the soup, while being careless, and said stiffly: "Who said I was going to sleep?" If I just want to take a shower, can't I? Seeing the ginseng whiskers in the soup, he looked displeased, "Didn't you say that my child doesn't need such a strong qi-replenishing thing as ginseng, why is the cook so memorable?" Although ginseng is a good thing, its medicinal properties are too strong, I use it every day now, and when I get sick, I will not be able to use other medicines with weaker medicinal properties than it. At that time, I can't say that I can only wait for death. ”
Xiang Ling, who was on the side, heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to pat Lin Jin, "Ahh Childlike words, children's words! He put his hands together, looked up at the sky, and said, "The gods and Buddhas passing by, I haven't heard anything, my uncle is just saying that in passing, it's nonsense, you just think it's the wind in your ears, and the wind blows away." ”
Yuzhu said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, the chef already knew that he couldn't give you ginseng, the ginseng in this chicken soup is not from our Daqin, it is from Goryeo." This ginseng is recommended by Xuan Niang, saying that the medicinal properties are more peaceful than our Daqin's ginseng, whether it is the elderly, or children, daily use is not as much taboo as our Daqin's ginseng, quite suitable for daily use of tonic. I knew that the uncle didn't like ginseng, so it took a lot of effort for the kitchen to suppress the ginseng flavor and try to minimize it. Besides, the uncle's body looks strong, but it is not so strong, and he suffered such a big crime a while ago, so he should make up for it. Whose brother and sister don't eat something good? The eldest girl didn't also make up for it, how did she get to the uncle, she was so picky. ”
Lin Jin shook her head when she heard this, and said with a smile: "That's not the case. My sister has been taking medicine since she knew how to eat, because her body is weak, so she needs to make up for it; My mother needs tonics because childbirth is actually a very hurtful thing, even if she gave birth to me and Brother Lin very smoothly as children, but she also lost a lot of vitality; My father is busy with work, and his health is not very good, so he also needs to take supplements in a timely manner. Like me, as long as you eat better every day, you don't need ginseng and cinnamon. If I rely on these nourishing herbs now, what will I do when I am old? Besides, I don't know other people's families, our family, what is my appetite, you are the most serving by my side, such a me, if I make up for it, I am afraid that I will be made into a fat mound in a few days, and I can't see it. ”
"It would be nice if the uncle really became fat." As soon as he heard the voice, Zhang Mujia lifted the curtain and came in from the outside: "The old man wishes that my brother would grow a few catties of meat." The uncle has been very thin in recent years, and he can almost compare with the eldest girl. The eldest girl is a girl's family, with a slender figure, it doesn't matter if she is not thin, but the uncle is a corrective man, too thin, thin, and looks weak, which is not a good thing. ”
Lin Jin saw Zhang Mujia's coming, hurriedly gave up her seat, and ordered the girls to serve tea, after hearing her words, she sighed in her heart, she can't be fat, because a fat woman is very obvious, but it doesn't seem to be too thin. If she wants to make herself look stronger, is it possible that she still has to lift iron every day to make herself develop a muscle?
After taking a sip of tea, Zhang Mujia hurriedly said: "Uncle, I heard a piece of news in the clan today. There are a few families in the clan who don't know where to find the way, and it seems that they want to send their daughters to the mansions of several princes. I think it's very important, so I'm here to discuss with my uncle, should we stop this matter quickly? ”
Taking the women's nepotism route, although this kind of thing seems to be quite despicable when mentioned in Shilin, it is not impossible to do. Especially the Lin family, although it is a big family, but the action of breaking the fifty-year career of the clan by Lin Jin's ancestor back then was too big a blow to the clan, and Lin Ruhai's family was not prosperous, so that after the fifty-year deadline expired, it was too difficult for the clan to restore its former glory.
In this case, some families in the clan choose to take shortcuts, and Lin Jin can understand it. But the backyard of several princes in the court is not so easy to enter. It's not that the battle in their back house is fierce, but because the battle in the court has not stopped. The fight in the back house, although there are also you who live and die, but if you lose, most of them will lose their lives, and they will not involve the family; But the court is different, the battle in the court, the loser loses not only his own net worth, but also the lives of the people standing behind him and the family.
The Lin family sent their daughters into the backyard of these princes, and in the eyes of the world, it was tantamount to standing on their side. At that time, if this prince is involved in the battle of the court and loses, the Zhang family from Lin Jin's aunt and the Zhang family who used to be a great cause for a while will be the best example from the past.
