Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

It was not too early or too late after seeing the house. Originally, both Lin Ze and Zhang Yu planned to go home directly, but there is a saying called "Great kindness is hard to come by".

After Li Guangcai tried his best to persuade him, he almost used all the tricks of acting like a baby and rolling around. The couple couldn't stand this old guy, so they finally couldn't hold back their enthusiasm and went to Li's mansion to sit down.

Mrs. Li was very pleasantly surprised by their arrival. Although she heard her husband talk about Lin Ze many times, she was very curious that she had never seen a real person.

Hearing the news from the boy who went home first, he immediately sent someone to prepare food and drinks at home. When Lin Ze and Zhang Yu arrived home with Li Guangcai, they could wash their hands and eat directly.

The servants of Li's mansion were also very curious, because Li's family was a family of merchants, and there were almost no scholars visiting as guests on weekdays, even the gentleman invited by the young master before had not been so formally visited.

What's more, 'Lin Xiucai' is very famous in the town recently, how can everyone not be curious?

The only one who was not curious and unhappy was Li Sheng. Although Lin Ze looked a little different from ordinary scholars, he had never really gotten along with him after all. With his hatred for scholars, it was impossible for him to like Lin Ze so quickly.

Especially when Lin Ze gave him such a difficult test question, he and everyone in his family couldn't figure out a solution for half a month. Li Sheng felt that Lin Ze was deliberately embarrassing him. He was too cunning and disgusting. To use the aggressive method to trick him...

So when Lin Ze saw Li Sheng, the child's expression was as smelly as it wanted.

However, although Li Guangcai dotes on his son, it is not the kind of casual doting that does not know the importance, so no matter how unwilling Li Sheng is, in the end, under the majesty of his own parents, he still has to pay respects to Lin Ze aggrievedly.

Lin Ze naturally wouldn't be used to this kid's bad temper, so he put on a strict Mr. posture.

After a while of deliberate arrogance, the child was overwhelmed with fear, and his expression was much more honest, which was far more effective than Li Guangcai, a father. Madam Li was extremely happy, and finally there was someone other than her husband who could shock her boy up.

"Officer Lin Lang is full of talent, and Lin Fulang looks handsome. It's a match made in heaven... Lin Fulang, I heard from my husband that Lin Lang made custom-made wedding clothes in our cloth village, and I will give them to you during the rectification banquet." Getting married once, saying that you felt that your family was poor at the beginning, this is really enviable and rare."

Mrs. Li is a woman who can't talk to Lin Ze directly, so she flatters Zhang Yu.

Although she has never dealt with Lin Ze and his wife, Li Guangcai told her about Lin Ze's favorite husband, Li Guangcai, and she knew Lin Ze's character and preferences after several contacts with Li Guangcai.

In a word, flattering Lin Ze is not as effective as praising his husband.

Sure enough, a sweet and shy smile appeared on Zhang Yu's face, and Lin Ze's serious expression, which had been tense all the time, melted like ice and snow, and instantly turned into a breath of breeze, which was obvious to people.

Li Guangcai and his wife immediately found someone to please Lin Ze and knocked on the door. If you have a good word, tell someone not to go and throw it out.

"Officer Lin Lang, Ling Fulang really made a big splash in the Guo Mansion last time. I didn't expect that my little brother can be so outstanding, and he is almost inferior to those young ladies from rich families..."

Lin Ze was elated when he heard it, "It's just a coincidence that Mrs. Guo's question is just right for my husband."

"Where is the coincidence if you don't have the ability? Mr. Lin, don't be humble. Your husband is not only smart, but also good-looking. Mr. Lang really has a good eye..."

"Your husband is right. I was looking at talking about my natal cousin and niece as a matchmaker for Lang Guan, but now I see Lin Fulang and I really want to quarrel. Lin Fulang and Lin Langguan should be the two branches , should be a couple."

Li Guangcai and his wife were full of honey.

Zhang Jue heard the sweat dripping from behind, "Master and Madam, you are too proud."

If it wasn't for naming names and surnames, he wouldn't even know that he was praising him, it's too exaggerated!

Lin Ze smiled more happily, pretending to be modest,

"Where is it, I was lucky enough to marry my husband..."

Li Sheng who was digging his head into the rice: Sir, if you don't laugh so smugly, I will trust you.

The whole meal time was spent in the praise and the nonsense of being praised. After such a toss, Li Sheng also got to know himself as the future Mr. He didn't know what he learned, but his future Mr. have to run.

This made Li Sheng finally have a good impression of Lin Ze in his heart. His parents are also very loving, and a person who loves his husband and wife very much should not be too bad.

Children's tempers tend to change as quickly as the wind. After a slight change in impression, Li Sheng began to talk to Lin Ze from time to time. Of course, his tone was still very badass. After all, he was the little boy spoiled by the whole family.

Because his father said that Lin Ze was going to open a private school, and he said that all the students in his private school could be admitted to Tongsheng. Li Sheng couldn't believe it and was curious about it, so most of the questions he asked were about these .

Of course, since Li Sheng was not convinced by Lin Ze, his tone was naturally not a question, but a provocative way of beating around the bush.

What, "Are you really that good? You are lying, but you are talking about how you can get all the students admitted to Tongsheng?"

What about "No one dares to praise this kind of Haikou in a private school for Yucai, you are just a young scholar, why don't you smash the signboard then?"

What else is there: "Tell me, I don't agree with you if you can't tell, even my kids look down on you..."

In short, Li Sheng only had one purpose, and he was really curious about Lin Ze's ability to boast about such a thing.

The child is only nine years old, let alone Lin Ze, even Zhang Yu can see this little thought.

Although he knew that Li Sheng was provoking Lin Ze, Zhang Yu told Lin Ze that he couldn't bear to be told that he was wrong, and he also couldn't bear to be told that Lin Ze was wrong, even if the object was only a child.

"Young master, this is a secret. Once you have solved the master's problem and become his disciple, you will naturally know what the master is capable of. If you can't solve it, you can only be my husband's student and learn half of his skills." .”

Zhang Yu smiled with both eyes, very kind.

And because of his age, in Li Sheng's impression, he was no different from his big brother, but Lin Ze was on the uncle level.

A child is always closer to his elder brother than to his uncle. Li Sheng is not afraid of Zhang Yu at all. Hearing what he said, his heart felt like being scratched by a cat. He cried out immediately,

"Who says I can't solve it, you just wait and see! Mr. Lin, don't exaggerate. If you learn half of his skills, you can take the entrance examination for junior students casually. If you have learned everything, you will be admitted for the top prize. Why don't you see Mr. Lin getting the top prize? Telling lies will make you wet the bed at night..."

Nine-year-old children are considered half-adults in the countryside. Li Sheng was born in a rich family, and his mind is still very naive.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Li Guangcai smiled and touched his son's head in fear, "Boy, let's eat!"

"Young master is right, but I didn't say that the students I teach will be able to take the number one examination, but if he really joins my disciples, I guarantee that he will have no problem in being admitted to the exam. As a result, the young master will wait and see in the future. .”

Lin Ze continued to laugh while holding a piece of crystal cake for Zhang Yu,

"It's you, if you can really solve my problem, why has there been no news for half a month? A few days ago, I heard from your father that you couldn't solve it, so let me relax for you... "

Li Guangcai was very unlucky to be sold by Lin Ze.

Li Sheng's expression was distorted when he heard it, and he immediately looked at his father, his eyes were full of anger and resentment, and he wrote: Father, you see that you have made your son ashamed!

Lin Ze smiled and didn't give any face, "And it's been so many days and there's still no movement. I think you won't be able to solve it. So you and I don't have the fate of master and apprentice..."

"Isn't there still a few days left, you, don't underestimate people!"

Li Sheng was so stimulated that he jumped. Although Lin Ze told the truth, he was still not convinced.

Besides, Lin Ze's questions are really difficult. He sold 50 taels of pottery bowls within a month, even his father couldn't do it, okay?

Lin Ze looked at the child's expression with a warm smile,

"Okay then, I'll just wait and see, seeing that you are really young, how about this, let me give you another hint, didn't I say two words to your father last time, if you really don't understand, turn around Check how it is explained in the book, there is a golden house in the book, do you understand..."

"Hmph, I'm smart, I don't need to look up books to know, just wait and see."

Li Sheng was irritated, and his expression was ungrateful.

It seemed that he didn't listen to Lin Ze's words, but Rolling Eyes was shining, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

Seen from a young age, Li Sheng is a born businessman... Lin Ze was very satisfied with the comment.

It's good to be dishonest, too honest and easy to suffer, but this kind of child is prone to accidents if not handled properly, so it needs to be refined, um, it needs to be refined.

And Li Sheng, who had no idea that Mr. Future opposite him was thinking about his future difficult life, continued to stare, full of dissatisfaction.

Many years later, Li Sheng, who grew up, recalled his "painful" study experience when he was a child, and there were only four words in his mind: Sir, you are so pitiful!

The meal was regulated by Li Sheng's kid, and Li Guangcai's husband and wife flattered him so much, the atmosphere on the table was very relaxed and harmonious, with constant laughter, and the guests and hosts had a great time.

Although Lin Ze had a weird temper at the beginning, Li Guangcai discovered something new every time he got along with him. Lin Ze was different from the scholar he had dealt with in his impression.

He couldn't say exactly where it was different, but he knew that he should have found the right husband for his son this time.

As for Mrs. Li, she is also very satisfied. Lin Ze is witty and knowledgeable. Although Zhang Yu was born in the countryside and doesn't know much, he is also easy to get along with.

The dinner was over in the evening, and Lin Ze and Zhang Yu rushed back to the village by the light of dusk.

On the way, they met a sedan chair hurrying back to the town, and the couple looked at it strangely.

The sedan chair is not as precious as the carriage, but it is also rare, and basically only appears in the town. I don't know which family in the village went to the nobleman today, and I have never heard of any family in the village who has relatives and friends of this level.

"Is it the second brother's guest? Today the second brother got married."

Zhang Yu guessed curiously that their road only leads to Heba Village, and no one in the village except Lin Jianwen knows this kind of person.

"It's unlikely. Lin Jianwen's reputation is discredited now, worse than that of 'Lin Ze' at the beginning. Now that the scientific examination is about to come, no one will tear up his face with him. Most people don't want to socialize with him, and he doesn't have the face to let him down. The old man in the town specially took a sedan chair to the village to have wedding wine..."

Lin Ze shook his head, feeling very puzzled.

But it doesn't matter, I'll find out when I go back to the village. A person sitting in a sedan chair has come to the village. It's impossible not to gossip given the boring life of the villagers.
