went back to see Yu Yinqiao and told her about it. Yu Yinqiao said: "This matter is so troublesome, and the prefect must be accommodating." It's better to go back to Qingqiu Prefecture for the exam, and return to Qingqiu Prefecture from the capital to speed up, but in six or seven days, you can catch up with the exam. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "I just went to Yong'an Prefecture to avoid trouble, and I went back to Qingqiu Prefecture to take the exam, didn't I let Chen Houzhong arrest me and fall into the tiger's mouth." I didn't want to bother the acquaintances of the officials in Yong'an Prefecture, but if Rao is like this, there is no way. Then he told Yu Yin Qiao how the officials of Yong'an Prefecture came to visit Sun's house. Sun Zhaoyuan said: "I will go to Lin Zihao, the prefect of the capital tomorrow, and ask him to help me." ”

The next day, he visited the Lin Mansion. The gatekeeper glanced at Sun Zhaoyuan and said, "You little hairy boy, do you still recognize my master?" Don't you play tricks on me, I went to report, and you slipped away again, playing tricks on me. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Brother, don't be suspicious, I am indeed your old acquaintance, you just have to go, just say that Sun Zhaoyuan of Qingqiu Prefecture visited Lord Lin, he will remember." ”

The gatekeeper was afraid of being scolded, and said, "I see you, it's best to wait here until our master goes out, and then you recognize each other, which is the best." Lest the master be unhappy, it is not easy to beat me on a few big boards. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan quietly stuffed some broken silver for the janitor, and said, "Brother, go ahead, don't worry, you won't be beaten." ”

The janitor tossed the weight in his hand, and immediately changed his smile and said, "Little boy, wait, I'll report it." ”

After a while, the main gate of the Lin Mansion opened, and Lin Zihao walked out quickly, grabbed Sun Zhaoyuan's hand, and said: "Little prodigy, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are getting taller and more handsome, what's the matter, what kind of wind blew you here from Qingqiu Prefecture?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Uncle Lin, don't come unharmed. My father sent me to the capital to buy some properties, with the intention of moving my family to Yong'an Prefecture. As soon as he finished the things that his father had explained, he thought that Lord Lin was also in the capital, so he came to visit Uncle Lin, send some small profits, and pay respect. As he spoke, he took out the good ginseng brought by Yu Fu and handed it to Lin Zihao.

Lin Zihao smiled and handed over the ginseng to his subordinates, took Sun Zhaoyuan's hand, and said, "Good virtuous nephew, come on, Uncle Lin will take you to the house to sit, and by the way, let you taste the good Tieguanyin I brought back from Jianzhou on business." ”

As he spoke, he led Sun Zhaoyuan to the mansion. This forest house, sure enough, the style of repairing is very, covering an area of twenty or thirty acres, the strange stones are numerous, the pond is beautiful, a covered bridge connects the east and west, and there are twenty or thirty finely carved houses, even the eaves are carefully carved by craftsmen, which is very exquisite. As he spoke, he went into the house. Lin Zihao said: "Ling Zun is in good health? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Uncle Laurin is worried, his father is in good health, and he often mentions Uncle Lin, thinking that he has time, so he will visit him in person." ”

Lin Zihao said: "I don't know if Governor Wang went to Qingqiu Prefecture on a business trip a few months ago, did he have a good time with your father?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan immediately understood what Lin Zihao meant by asking, to see if Wang Youming still contacted the Sun family often. Sun Zhaoyuan arched his hand to the right and said: "Uncle Wang treats my family like a mountain, every time he goes to Qingqiu Prefecture, he will come to visit the Sun family, and his father will naturally entertain him carefully, and he must also be happy with wine." ”

Lin Zihao stroked the tiger's whiskers, raised the teacup, and said, "Good nephew, drink tea, drink tea." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan saw that the time was ripe, so he said: "I came to visit Uncle Lin this time, and I also asked Uncle Lin about a small matter by the way. The little nephew didn't know what to do, so he begged Uncle Lin for advice. ”

Lin Zihao said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, I must know everything, and I will say everything." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "I wanted to participate in this year's imperial examination, but I didn't want to take my father's errand, after the matter was done, I was a weak person, and I couldn't go back to Qingqiu Prefecture to take the township examination, so I wanted to ask Uncle Lin, can I take the township examination in the capital?" If so, how? ”

Lin Zihao didn't speak, poured himself two cups of Tieguanyin, pondered for a long time, and said: "Don't panic, virtuous nephew, although this matter is risky, being an uncle will definitely do it for you." To participate in the township test, one must be in the capital of the state, which depends on the place of origin, and the other is to record the place of origin as a talented child, that is, to pass the child test, before you can participate in the township test. If you are a good nephew, I took the risk and called the official in charge of the student file, and made a file for you, so you can successfully participate in the township test. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "How can you trouble Uncle Lin." ”

Lin Zihao said: "The virtuous nephew Hugh should be polite, come and call Zhao Shiqiang and Zhao Zhubo to the house." Not long after, Zhao Shiqiang trotted all the way to the Lin Mansion.

Lin Zihao said: "Come, Master Zhao, please take a seat." "How dare Zhao Shiqiang sit down, he is just an official in charge of the student registration file, and he rarely sees Lin Zihao, but when he summoned himself today, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, he stood next to him and didn't dare to speak.

Lin Zihao said: "Zhao Zhubo, this is my virtuous nephew Zhaoyuan, he is from Qingqiu Prefecture, and now he wants to take the township test in the capital mansion. You can handle this little thing for him. ”

Lin Zihao is a veteran, and he didn't tell him how to handle it, but just told him to handle it, if he tracked it down in the future, he only shirked and let Zhao Zhubo handle it legally and compliantly, and did not let him handle it illegally, so he could push the responsibility away.

Lord Zhao's face was embarrassed: "This ......"

Lin Zihao's face was full of anger, and he only hummed for a while, and then Zhao Zhubo said: "Xiaguan will do it." ”

Lin Zihao said with satisfaction: "Stand down." ”

Lord Zhao didn't even stand up for a stick of incense, so he left the Lin Mansion.

Lin Zihao gossiped with Sun Zhaoyuan again, and Sun Zhaoyuan said goodbye and went home.

Back at the inn, Yu Yin Qiao asked, "How?" Did Lin Zihao promise to help you? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan pretended to be in pain, and said: "I didn't expect that Lin Zihao was a ruthless person, and when he heard me ask him to do something, he politely rejected me, and said that he still had important things, and he didn't even return the ginseng to me, so he left." ”

Yu Yin Qiao said: "Huh? So what should I do? If it really doesn't work, I'll ask my father and my mother if they have any relatives or friends who can handle it. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This matter is very difficult, it is estimated that the father-in-law and mother-in-law will not be able to do it, you think, the prefect will retreat when he sees this, not to mention other people waiting." ”

Yu Yin Qiao said: "That's good." He suddenly recalled what he had just said, found something wrong, and said with a smile: "When did my father and mother become your father-in-law." Don't take your relatives for granted. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "You go and ask them, yes or no, and they will definitely answer yes." ”

Yu Yinqiao said: "You know that I can't ask, so I said so, Yanfu is far away from here." Don't talk about this, then what else can be done? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan pretended to be in pain again and said, "There is no way." Changing the place of origin of the school is a felony of killing the head, who dares to commit it. ”

Yu Yin Qiao thought for a long time and said, "It's me in the end, and I don't have this life." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan snorted, laughed, and said, "I'm joking with you." Changing the place of origin, how can it be a felony of killing the head, then Lin Zihao has already ordered someone to handle this matter. ”

Yu Yin Qiao immediately turned from sadness to joy and said, "In that case, I still have this fate." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "That's natural, in the future, others will call me the champion, call you, of course, Mrs. Champion." ”

Yu Yinqiao smiled: "Don't think so well, you are just a lifter, I am actually satisfied." ”

The two joked for a long time, and then went back to the room to sleep.

In just a few days, Zhao Shiqiang got things done, and Sun Zhaoyuan successfully signed up for the township test. Sun Zhaoyuan studied day and night, accompanied by Yu Yin Qiao day and day, acting as a scholar.
