After the man in black left, He Mai saw that the envelope in Liulang's hand was gone, and said strangely: "What about the letter?" ”

Liulang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I didn't accept it just now, I'm afraid it was taken away by mistake!" ”

"I haven't seen it yet!" He Mai was dumbfounded.

"Don't get in the way, what the master said in my heart, I remember every word clearly, and I'll recite it to you when I get home in a while." Rokuro comforted.

He Mai flattened his mouth, and he couldn't say anything more, so he had to give up.

When he was about to go home, He Mai saw that there was already cooking smoke rising from the chimney of the stove room in the house, so he said, "My sister-in-law has already cooked the meal at home, and I don't know if my brother has come back?" ”

"Where did He Lin go?" Rokuro asked casually.

"I went out early in the morning and asked for 500 yuan, thinking that I was going to make up for Xiu'er's woman." He Mai said.

Rokuro shook his head: "These days, I see that he always runs to the thatched courtyard, and every time he goes, his face is a little depressed, and when he comes back, his expression is even more depressed." I think we're afraid we misunderstood the relationship between him and Xiu'er. ”

"What do you mean......" He Mai looked at him suspiciously, "My brother is not willing to help Xiu'er more?" ”

"It's hard to say that, it's just my guess." Liulang groaned, "After all, He Lin's feelings for Lin'er are sincere, and you and I see them in our eyes." ”

These days, Lin'er lives in the Lin family's house, and the Qin family and Chunhua know that this is not Xiu'er and He Lin's child, but they are a little less wary of Lin'er, and let him be with Xiaohu all day long, taking care of them together like two brothers.

Lin'er is lively and well-behaved, and is deeply liked by the Qin family and Chunhua.

And He Lin's love for Lin'er is probably no less than his love for Xiaohu. But treat Xiu'er ...... He Lin was more like completing a task that he didn't want to complete.

From this, He Mai couldn't help but speculate that it was not because He Lin had some handle in Xiu'er's hands, so he had to find a way to settle Xiu'er and take care of Xiu'er.

Liulang couldn't give any good answer at the moment, only said that when He Lin came back, he would talk to He Lin well.

When he arrived in front of the Lin family's house, He Mai saw a tall horse brushed in front of the house, and said strangely: "Who came to the house?" ”

"Could it be Brother Song?" Rokuro guessed.

The two of them guessed and went into the house.

Inside the door of the house, there was really a middle-aged man with a raw face, talking to Chunhua.

Judging by the man's dress, he didn't look like a local.

Chunhua looked at a loss, and when she saw He Mai and Liulang coming in from outside the door, as if she had seen a life-saving straw, she stepped forward to pull them: "He Mai, this is a ...... from the imperial capital"

"From the imperial capital?" He Mai was stunned for a moment, and looked at the man with some vigilance, "Are you?" ”

The man said: "The next surname is Huo Mingshan, and he came to deliver a message to Lin Gongzi on the order of Xu Daxue, the chief examiner of the Imperial Capital Palace. The girl is Lin Gongzi's sister, right? I just heard from Mrs. Lin that Mr. Lin has been out for a while, and I don't know when he will come back? ”

"My brother has something to do and will be back in a few hours." He Mai's eyes lit up, "But the examiner wants to bring a message to my brother?" What are the words? ”

Huo Shan said: "The chief examiner appreciates Lin Gongzi's talent, and he doesn't want to let Lin Gongzi's talent be drowned in the market, and wants to invite Lin Gongzi to return to the imperial capital with me. ”

He Mai couldn't help but be happy, "Really? Is the examiner willing to bring my brother along? That's great! ”

Chunhua also understood Huo Shan's words, her mouth opened slightly, and her face was full of surprise.

In contrast, Liulang seemed much calmer, and he asked Huo Shan: "I don't know what errand the chief examiner wants to do with He Lin?" ”

Huo Shan replied: "Lin Gongzi didn't have a second time in the palace test this time, and there was such a thing...... Yes, I'm afraid it has to start with the doorman...... However, please rest assured, Lord Xu has always been fair and honest, valuing righteousness and cherishing talents, and will definitely reuse Lin Gongzi's ...... in the future."

He Mai was confused for a while, and waved his hand to interrupt Huo Shan's words, "What happened to my brother when he was in the imperial capital?" ”

Although she had heard from He Lin about his ban from the exam, she didn't know why it was.

Huo Shan looked a little surprised, he looked at the expressions of the three people of the Lin family carefully, and could see that he really didn't know about He Lin, so he was much more cautious in his words: "This matter is still the girl personally asking Lin Gongzi, outsiders are not easy to say." ”

He Mai felt even more strange, but saw Rokuro gently squeeze her hand and give her a look.

While talking, Lin'er, who was playing in the back room, ran out, and when he saw that outsiders were not afraid of life, he ran to Liulang with a smile, "Hug, hug......"

"Is this Lin Gongzi's child?" Huo Shan said with a smile.

"It's not ......" Chunhua shook her head, "Yes......"

She "was" for a long time, and she didn't come out of nowhere, and the words were stuck in her throat and couldn't be spoken.

Huo Shan glanced at Lin'er a few more times, then looked at Chunhua and furrowed his brows.

He Mai was thinking about Helin's ban on the exam in his heart, and layers of confusion rose in his heart.

Before she could ask any more questions, Huo Shan took the lead and said, "Since Lin Gongzi is inconvenient today, then I will come back another day." There are still two sons in Yongan Town who want to be contacted, and they will retire first. ”

"Okay, thank you." Liulang bowed his head and gestured to Huo Shan.

After Huo Shan left, Chunhua looked at He Mai with joy and asked, "Can He Lin go to the imperial capital to take office?" The guest ...... How big is it? ”

He Mai pursed his lips and replied a little hesitantly, "The doorman ......"

To put it bluntly, the doorman is just a helper in the princely general's mansion, writing poems and songs in his spare time, giving advice when he is busy, and wanting to get ahead, difficult!

With such amazing talents, where can they be willing to turn themselves into a helper?

He Mai couldn't bear to spoil the joy of spring flowers, so he had to say: "The position is low and high, and it is always an opportunity to get ahead." It's better to be a guest at the house of a prince and minister than to farm in the countryside, don't you say, sister-in-law? ”

Chunhua nodded heavily with joy on her face: "Yes!" Be! That's a good thing! Hemai, you look at Xiaohu and Lin'er, I'll go to Aunt Xiufang'er's house to get my grandmother back, and tell her the good news! ”

The spring flowers ran out like a gust of wind, extremely excited and joyful.

He Mai glanced at Liulang and pursed his lips, "My brother is back, I have to ask about this - a good palace exam, why is there no waiting, and he is still banned from the exam?" ”

"I'm afraid the inside story is very complicated." Liulang hugged Lin'er and said softly, "You don't have to worry too much, since the chief examiner is willing to invite He Lin to be a guest in the mansion, I think he has taken a fancy to his talent, and things are not as bad as you think." ”
