Chapter 9: A Visit to the Lin Mansion
After opening up the Wentai, he did not stop the empowerment of talents, and the excess talents will continue to enter the Wentai and become a force that Lu Ming can mobilize.
Immediately afterwards, the talent on the literary platform began to condense in the middle, and as time passed, it condensed into an extremely sharp-looking sword from it.
"It's ...... Talented Pregnant Sword!"
Lu Ming was happy in his heart, scholars and talents could be sharpened, and scribes could conceive "talent spirit sword", with poetry couplets to hurt the enemy.
"No wonder there are so many people who try their best to seize the talents of others, it turns out that after the opening of the Wentai, they can use their talents to conceive the spirit sword, once the pregnant sword is successful, they will no longer be powerless scholars!"
I don't know how much time passed, the talent above his head was absorbed by Lu Ming into the Wentai, and after the talent empowerment, he slowly opened his eyes and looked around.
Some of the scholars around him had extremely ugly faces, and they cast a vicious gaze at Lu Ming, as if they were going to cut him with a thousand knives, and the owner of one of them was Yan Weiqing.
The others also finished their empowerment one after another, some with joy on their faces, some sighing helplessly, and some with angry eyes.
At this time, Han Xian Ling said: "The talent empowerment is over, thank the saint!"
"Thank you, saint!"
The crowd bowed respectfully to thank the saints.
Han Xian Ling said again: "Please take a step forward for those who are officially promoted to scholars!"
After speaking, Lu Ming and other scholars who had obtained academic degrees stepped forward, and the number of people who walked out was less than forty, including Yan Weiqing, but not Chen Jun.
"Could it be that Chen Jun's talent has been taken away?", Lu Ming's face sank.
"Come on, send out scholar clothes!"
As soon as Han County's order was given, a servant immediately came over and gave everyone two white scholar clothes.
Scholar's uniform is a piece of clothing that only scholars with a scholarly degree can wear, and if a person without a scholarly degree wears it, he will be beaten with forty boards.
Scholars are not required to wear them often, but they must wear such formal clothes when participating in cultural meetings or holding any activities, otherwise it is not in line with etiquette.
"The fabric of the scholar's uniform seems to be very good!"
Lu Ming took a closer look, and then looked at his coarse cloth clothes, forming a very sharp contrast.
If this is not a scholar's uniform, it can also be regarded as a new dress for the New Year, which makes Lu Ming feel a little emotional.
"Let's go back and change it!", Lu Ming smiled slightly.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Han County's order, everyone withdrew from the temple and left.
Lu Ming and Chen Jun went all the way, and Chen Jun's face was not good at this time, and he was a little depressed.
"Jun Chen, don't be sad, next time you can come to the temple to receive the empowerment of talents, and then you will still be able to get an official academic degree!"
"The words are so, but ......"
Chen Jun sighed, a little reluctant to speak, and Lu Ming didn't want to ask more.
"Lu Ming, now that you have obtained a literary degree, do you want to visit Uncle Lin?"
"This ......"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Jun to ask himself such a question, then thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better to forget it, if I go to the Lin Mansion, I will definitely be kicked out." ”
Chen Jun said: "You have become a gifted scholar, Uncle Lin will never dare to do that, and besides, you and Lin Xiaoyan still have a marriage contract, maybe there will be a turn for the better." ”
"Then I'll visit him again tomorrow. Lu Ming said helplessly.
"Believe in yourself, Uncle Lin will definitely change his opinion of you, and besides, I also want to be quiet alone, so let's part. ”
After Chen Jun said this, he turned to another street.
Lu Ming was very moved in his heart, Chen Jun did not get a literary degree, but encouraged himself in turn, this is a real bosom friend!
......
The next day, Lu Ming changed into a white scholar's uniform and went to the Lin Mansion to visit Lin Donghai.
However, just in front of the Lin Mansion, Lu Ming happened to meet a group of people and came to the Lin Mansion with many dowries, and passers-by got out of the way when they saw it.
At the head was a young man dressed in a scholar's uniform, holding his head high, shaking a folding fan, and looking at passers-by with a deep contempt.
"Yan Weiqing, what is he doing here, is it ......", Lu Ming had some guesses in his heart.
A family member came over and shouted: "Lu Qiansour, get out of the way! Don't get in the way of the head of the case!"
"The road is facing the sky, each side of the road, who is in the way?"
Lu Ming put his hands behind his back and glanced at the famous family, revealing disdain.
"Boy, you are so bold that you dare to talk to me like this?"
When the family heard this, he was furious, and he was about to do it with his sleeves.
Yan Weiqing's face suddenly changed greatly, it is a serious crime for an uneducated person to beat a scholar on the street, once his family makes a move, but he will implicate himself, and immediately shouted: "Slow!
"Young master, this kid doesn't know how to lift ......"
"Shut up and step down!"
Yan Weiqing drank loudly, and the family immediately didn't dare to speak, so he had to retreat obediently.
"Huh...... Yan Weiqing, I knew you wouldn't dare to let your family beat me!", Lu Ming said with a sneer.
Yan Weiqing snorted coldly: "What are you doing in the Lin Mansion? Do you want to be kicked out in public by Uncle Lin? Lu Ming, don't be shameless!"
"What does it matter if I don't come?"
Lu Ming said unceremoniously: "Besides, what are you doing with so many gifts?
"You're right, I'm here to propose!", Yan Weiqing said with a smile.
"What did you say?"
Lu Ming's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, thinking of Lin Donghai's attitude towards him, and thinking of Yan Weiqing now being the head of high school, I'm afraid ......
"Haha...... Lu Ming, don't worry, I will definitely succeed in proposing marriage, and I will definitely invite you to drink a glass of wedding wine when the time comes!"
"You ......"
"Let's go!"
Yan Weiqing beckoned, and entered the Lin Mansion with his family carrying the dowry.
Lu Ming gritted his teeth, and finally followed hard, feeling a little apprehensive.
"According to the past practice, I'm afraid that I won't be in for long, and I will be kicked out by Uncle Lin! I hope I can stay a little longer, at least let me see if Uncle Lin will agree to Yan Weiqing's family business!"
"Yan Gongzi is coming, and he is far away!"
A middle-aged man greeted him, dressed in a gray robe, although he was a scholar, he was dressed very plainly, but his clothes were very clean.
"I've seen Uncle Lin!", Yan Weiqing bowed and saluted.
"Lu Ming has seen his uncle!", Lu Ming also saluted.
"Cut!"
The corners of Yan Weiqing's mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of sneer, as if he had seen the scene of Lu Ming being kicked out of the door.
Lin Donghai looked at Lu Ming, and saw that he was wearing a scholar's uniform, his face changed slightly, revealing a trace of inexplicable relief, and nodded gently.
"Welcome to the two scholars, please come to the living room!"
"Two scholars?"
Yan Weiqing was stunned, and Lu Ming was also stunned, and they all looked around, but apart from them, there were no other scholars here.
"Uncle Lin called us to the living room, wouldn't he?"
Lu Ming was a little incredulous, almost unwilling to believe his ears, Lin Donghai didn't drive himself away this time, it was because he was a scholar, so he didn't dare?
It's not right, Lin Donghai himself is also a scholar, and at the same time his elder, he also has the right to blow himself out, why......
"There must be a reason for this!"
Lu Ming frowned, and then returned to normal.
Yan Weiqing snorted coldly and said, "It's better for the junior to be respectful than to obey your fate!"
"Please!"
Lin Donghai immediately led the two to the living room and sat down according to the position of the host and guest, Lu Ming was a little nervous and did not speak.
Lin Xiaoyan was wearing a blue dress, pouring hot tea for everyone, and when she saw Yan Weiqing wearing the first dress, her face turned slightly pale.
But when she saw Lu Ming wearing a scholar's uniform, her face was happy again, she relaxed her expression, exited the living room, and then quietly listened to their conversation outside the room.
Yan Weiqing got up and said, "Uncle Lin, I am here today because I want to discuss something with you. ”
"Young Master Yan, please speak!", Lin Donghai said with a smile.
"That's the case, the late life fell in love with Lin Xiaoyan at first sight, and in recent days, he has been thinking about it for a long time, and he has already been born in love, and the late life has been lucky to win the first place in the gold list, so I take advantage of today's auspicious day to propose marriage, and I beg you to fulfill it!"
As soon as the words fell, even though Lu Ming was mentally prepared, his face still became very unnatural, so he had to cover it up with a teacup.
In ancient times, a woman's marriage was decided by her parents, as the so-called parents' orders, matchmakers, women have no choice for marriage.
The same is true in this world, as long as her father nods, no matter how unwilling Lin Xiaoyan is, she will marry Yan Weiqing.
Lin Xiaoyan outside the door was startled, gritted her teeth, and a deep disgust welled up from her heart.
"I don't want to marry Yan Weiqing's disciple, Daddy, you must not promise him!", Lin Xiaoyan prayed in his heart.
Lin Donghai took a sip of tea and did not reply immediately, but asked Lu Ming: "Then Lu Xian's nephew, why did you come to my Lin Mansion?
"Hehe......"
Yan Weiqing couldn't help but want to snicker, but the next moment he realized that Lin Donghai had actually changed his name to Lu Ming, no longer calling him "Lu Qiansour", but "Lu Xian's nephew".
"Uncle Lin thinks highly of you, and actually calls you 'virtuous nephew', hum!"
Yan Weiqing remained silent, but he was thinking about how to persuade Lin Donghai to let Lin Xiaoyan marry him.
"I ...... This one...... I ......"
Lu Ming didn't know how to reply for a while, maybe because he was nervous, he forgot the words he had prepared in advance.
But the next moment, Lu Ming remembered something again, and immediately said: "Uncle Lin, Lin Xiaoyan and I have always had a marriage contract, and now that I am also in Jinbang High School and have achieved fame, it is time to talk about this matter." ”
In ancient times, people got married earlier, so Lu Ming said this sentence without hesitation.
Yan Weiqing's face changed, and he glared at Lu Ming fiercely, but he didn't think so: "It's really an inch, it's very good that you can enter the living room, and you also want to propose?"
