As the birthplace of the students, Jimo City is also jubilant, lively, and the bustling streets also have a lot of students dressed up as scholars, and the business of leisurely Accord these days is very good, after all, it used to be an ordinary student, and now it has become the champion, the list of eyes and the strategy and calligraphy and painting of the flower are placed on the wall, which has aroused many people to observe and discuss.

And the leisurely Accord also moved the top ten calligraphy and painting and strategy of the imperial examination to the relatively blank white wall, and after this wave of viewing, it is to put the top three calligraphy and painting in the private room on the third floor for people to enjoy, even if someone buys it at a high price, Lei Biao and Lin Xia do not plan to sell it, after all, they have to rely on these calligraphy and painting strategies to make a reputation.

Speaking of the top three, I don't know if the people of Old Man Lin's family have taken shit luck, or they have accumulated virtue in their previous life, the current Tanhualang is Lin Chengzu, when the news was transmitted back to Qingxi Village like the wind, the officers and soldiers from the capital personally escorted Lin Chengzu back to Qingxi Village.

Lin Chengzu's luck was not bad, he was appointed by the emperor as the editor of the seventh grade, joined the Hanlin Academy, and arrived within two months. Although this compilation is not as big as the parents of a county, it is better to join the company in the capital, and if you are in the capital, you will have more opportunities for promotion in the future, which is suitable for the development of interpersonal relationships.

This Qinghou County has a bit of an official position and came to Qingxi Village in person to congratulate Lin Chengzu, seventy percent of the big families in the county sent them congratulatory gifts, Lin Laotou and Du were in the limelight in Qingxi Village for a while, especially Du's, Su Xiaoxiao gave birth to a weak son early, which made Old Man Lin feel a little sorry for her, but fortunately, the news of Lin Chengzu's high school came back, so that she forcibly suppressed Su Xiaoxiao.

In this village, the people who are not jealous of their husband and wife have counted all the slaps, and the villagers secretly ridiculed that the most correct thing that Old Man Lin and Du Shi did in their lives was to give birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

The dragon and phoenix fetus is a very blessed thing, and looking at my sister Lin Xia, Qinghou County, Jiangling County, and Jimo City, all have their own shops, and their daily income is probably more than the annual income of the people in the village; Look at this younger brother Lin Chengzu again, it really fulfilled the dream of the old man Lin, glorified his ancestors, and won the Tanhualang exam, this family is expensive, and he entered Beijing in one fell swoop and became a native of Beijing.

This made Lin Chengguang regret very much, at that time, the Lin family had a problem, and asked for money turnover, Old Man Lin came to borrow money from him, he spoke extremely ugly, although in the end he still listened to the words of his wife Xu Jingshu and borrowed money, but afterwards he went to live in the village every day, for fear that Old Man Lin would not pay it back.

Old man Lin was angry, he sold the shop, and he returned the money to Lin Chengguang when he got the money back from the sale.

Old man Lin angrily agreed to Lin Chengguang's request, and pulled Lin Chengguang to divide the family out on the same day, and also broke off the father-son relationship with him.

Fortunately at this moment, Lin Chengzong and Lin Chengyao, the two of them had the heart and courage to split up at that time, and even more considering that if the younger brother soared in the future, they would naturally be able to get the light, but now it has really come true.

After the news came, Lin Chengguang cheekily pulled Xu Jingshu to take a pair of twin sons back to live in the village, and said in the name of a good get-together with Lin Chengzu, after all, I haven't seen him for a long time, and cultivate a relationship. But I don't know what Lin Chengzu said to them, the next morning, Lin Chengguang returned to Qinghou County with his family, and was scolded by the old man.

Old man Lin's family banquet was lively for three days, and it was rare to see Du's generosity, and the banquet was full of money. However, Lei Biao and Lin Xia did not rush back from Jimo City, but ordered someone to send a congratulatory gift.

After a week, each academy in Jimo City will hold a thank-you banquet to thank the teachers for their teachings and not forget the places they have studied. This place is placed in the Leisure Accord, today this Leisure Accord does not accept any guests, only the students of the major colleges, so that they can enjoy this last gathering.

The lobby and the elegant seats on the second floor are full of people, and the leisurely Accord is even more generous at half price, and the five-child cake has been launched for students to receive a free copy.

At first glance, you may not be able to figure out what this is, but it is actually a black and white semi-circular pastry, five each, which is the name of the black and white chess pieces that refer to the five-in-a-row chess. Because the black cake is black, it is a bit like the unique ink cake of Jimo City, but the taste is better than the ink cake; The white cake is made by borrowing from the practice of white jade cake.

This five-seed cake makes many students, even teachers very interested, have asked if they can buy more, but did not think that this is a leisurely Accord for students specially launched things, each person can only get one for free, and the five-child cake decided to give a free copy to all students and teachers at the annual thank-you banquet, and it is not sold to the public.

This is a small idea of Lin Xia specially to attract these literati and artists in Jimo City, so that these students and teachers have a unique feeling and are respected. After all, the Wu Dynasty now admired literature, and attracting more literati and ink writers would be beneficial and harmless to their business.

After the thank-you banquet, many people rushed home non-stop, Lin Chengzu chatted with the champion, Bangyanduo with the teacher and the dean, and when it was close to the evening, he called a carriage to Lei Mansion and met with Lei Biao and Lin Xia.

Lin Chengzu knew that Lin Xia had broken off the relationship with his family, but because it was a dragon and phoenix fetus, he liked Lin Xia very much, even if he broke off the relationship, he would always think about coming to visit his sister.

Seeing Lin Xia this time, the child in the belly has been three months old, the weather is cool this autumn, Lin Xia doesn't have many clothes, and he can see that the belly has some shape, Lin Chengzu suddenly felt a little emotional.

"It's only been a long time since I saw her, and my sister is already three months pregnant."

Lin Xia always exudes a loving light because she is pregnant, and when she heard Lin Chengzu's words, she quipped: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and my younger brother is already Tanhualang." ”

Lin Chengzu didn't expect Lin Xia to reply to him so humorously, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, it's my brother's fault." ”

At this time, Aunt Fu had already ordered someone to bring the dishes to the table, only to see that except for a pot of ginseng and chicken soup on the table, the rest were sour and spicy, hooking everyone and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Lin Chengzu has a light taste, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw this sour and spicy dish on the table.

Seeing Lin Chengzu's embarrassed expression, Lin Xia glanced at Aunt Fu, "Brother, these dishes are all prepared for me, don't be afraid, Aunt Fu must have made your taste." ”

Sure enough, Aunt Fu called someone to serve three or four more light-tasting dishes.

However, Aunt Fu kept staring at Lin Xia for some reason, as well as the jade following behind Lin Xia, even Lei Biao, Lin Chengzu looked inexplicable.

When Lin Xia took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, Lin Chengzu saw that Lei Biao's face changed, and Aunt Fu's face was indescribable, and Cuiyu buried her head deep in her arms, her body trembled, and it was not difficult to see that she was snickering.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Chengzu asked curiously.

The words fell, and Jade finally couldn't help but run out, holding on to the door frame and smiling and slumping on the ground.

"Hahaha......"

This will even Lin Xia is inexplicable, looking at Lei Biao's expression is slightly ugly, I don't know what happened, "What are you doing?" What nerves do you have? ”

Agarwood, who was following behind Lin Xia, looked relatively calm, and replied: "Madam, Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu, they are testing what kind of food you eat, whether you have a boy or a girl, and you have made a bet." ”

Lin Chengzu thought back to the dishes that Lin Xia had just sandwiched, stir-fried sour bamboo shoots with chili peppers, sour and spicy girls, this Lin Xia had both. Thinking of this, Lin Chengzu couldn't help laughing, it seems that the dealer in this gambling game is going to lose miserably.

Lin Xia finally reacted, put the chopsticks down, and said angrily: "Wow, you actually opened a gambling game!" Say, what are you betting on!? ”

Suddenly, Lei Zhong ran in with a smile, "Madam, we bet on you to eat half and half of sour and spicy, but you are not as smart as Cuiyu, both sides are down, now you don't have to pay her salary!" After saying that, Lei Zhong hurriedly ran back.

Looking sideways at Lei Biao, Lin Xia said worriedly: "Husband, shouldn't you also gamble?" ”

Lei Biao cleared his throat and said slowly: "No, I'm the dealer." ”

"Poof-" Lin Chengzu couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, "Hahaha, congratulations to brother-in-law, congratulations to brother-in-law!" ”

At this moment, even Lin Xia couldn't help laughing, gloating, "Hahahaha, your dealer is too miserable!" ”

Even Lin Xia said this, and Lei Biao's face darkened a little.

The vignettes of life entertained a large family, except for Lei Biao, this meal was full of joy. But this gamble is one thing, everyone is still very curious about whether Lin Xia will give birth to a boy or a girl, but it will take seven months to know the result, so everyone has another gamble, and even Lin Chengzu has made a lot of fun, betting on Lin Xia to give birth to a girl, and Lei Biao is the banker.

When taking Lin Chengzu to leave, Lei Biao and Lin Xia handed Lin Chengzu a silver ticket of one thousand taels, Lin Chengzu is now in the capital, and the Hanlin Academy will provide dormitory rooms for small officials to live in, but they are all small layouts, small in area, suitable for singles. And Old Man Lin and the people of the Du family must follow their youngest son to enjoy happiness and live in the capital, so it must cost a lot, although this thousand taels of silver is not much, but it can also make Lin Chengzu's life better.

Lin Chengzu knew the environment at home, so he accepted the 1,000 taels of silver tickets from the two, and kept the kindness of Lei Biao and Lin Xia firmly in his heart, thinking that he must repay the two of them in the future.

Soon after, Old Man Lin sold all the things in the house that should be sold, and put away all the things that should be put away, and in the end there was only a house and a few acres of land left, and the whole family happily followed Lin Chengzu to the capital.
