Master Lin of the Red Chamber

A few days passed in a flash. Since the day when he had a talk with Lin Xian in the Qingde Building, Lu Sheng did not send anyone to come again. Lin Qing's life also returned to its previous calm, and nothing special happened again. .

It's just that what makes Lin Qing feel a little strange is that Lin Xian clearly said at the time that he would send someone to contact him to take away the thing in his hand, but until now, there has been no movement, as if this matter Forget about it.

But Lin Qing naturally wouldn't think so simply, not to mention the importance of the things in his hand, just say that Lin Xian went around a big circle and deliberately set up this trick for him to jump. Xian will never forget easily.

The reason why he didn't send anyone over now is probably because there was something that caught the other party and made Lin Xian unable to move away. That's why there was no movement for a long time. Perhaps it was the words he said last time. certain effects.

Just thinking about it for a while, Lin Qing put this matter aside and didn't think about it again. For him, no matter what kind of trouble Lin Xian encountered, it had nothing to do with him. The family's sins are fine.

It would be a good thing for him if he could get rid of the opponent silently. Not only would he be able to keep the thing in his hands, but he would no longer have to think about how to guard against the opponent in the future.

Putting this matter aside, Lin Qing began to prepare for the ancestor worship. Of course, he is not very old now. Although he has achieved fame, he is only the lowest level, just a little better than Tong Sheng.

The Lin family is a big family, and worshiping ancestors is the most important thing in a year, so it is impossible for Lin Qing, a young talent, to worry about it. He just needs to follow the family members and go to offer incense together.

But the sacrifices in the family need him to worry about it himself. The Lin family has been passed down to this day, and those worshiped in the main temple are all members who have made great contributions to the entire Lin family, or have reached a certain official position.

The rest of the clansmen worshiped each other, so they were not qualified to be placed on the main shrine. Lin Qing's father was only a small juren, so he naturally did not have the qualifications. Not to mention.

Of course, the family is not so unkind. If there are no males in the family and the incense is cut off, it can also be considered as appropriate, and it can be included in the small ancestral hall next to the main temple. There is incense at least once a year.

Lin Qing was not very familiar with sacrifices at first, but after so many years, he has already done it very smoothly, and it can be regarded as another way to integrate into ancient life, from a conceptual point of view.

Although he has a strong self-confidence because he has experienced more and knows more than the ancients, it does not mean that Lin Qing will underestimate these ancients. In fact, he has been working hard to integrate himself into the ancients these years. go in.

Even if he can't completely change his mind, he must at least pretend to be like him. He has memorized all kinds of ancient rules and taboos. He doesn't want to make unnecessary mistakes that will affect his future.

As the only male in the family, Lin Qing had to do everything related to the sacrifice himself. Lin Yu was not allowed to intervene, not even entering the ancestral hall. On weekdays, Lin Qing was also responsible for cleaning there. .

As a modern person, Lin Qing couldn't understand Lin Yu's deep-rooted feudal thinking, but he could only choose to respect it. After all, this was the case in the ancient environment.

If they behave too differently, it is not a good thing. When the time comes to let people know and spread the word, I am afraid that even the clan will come to ask and condemn them, and it is inevitable that there will be some good people who will point and point Gossip.

After preparing all the things for ancestor worship, Lin Qing entered the ancestral hall with a brazier on the third day after the Chinese New Year. As for the ingots and paper money, they had already put them in a few days earlier.

Kneeling on the light blue thin ball, Lin Qing raised his head and looked at the tablets placed at the top, focusing on the two tablets at the bottom, which were the parents of his current body.

Although the time he traveled here is not too short, ten years if counted in detail, but Lin Qing didn't have a deep impression on the parents of this body, and it can be said that he basically had no impression.

When he just crossed over, the father of this body had passed away, and there were only mother and elder sister in the house, and the mother was already sick in bed, because she was afraid of getting sick, so she didn't see many.

During those few meetings, Lin Qing's only impression of the mother in this body was gentleness, and it was not the kind of pretended gentleness, but the gentleness that radiated from the bones, just like this Jiangnan water town. .

Even though she is still sick and looks a little haggard, when she looks at you, she can still make people feel a sense of warmth, it is a feeling of blood connection.

It's a pity that he seems to be born with shallow relatives. In his previous life, his parents left before they were middle-aged. In this life, when he crossed over, his father was gone, and his mother only survived for two years. .

Fortunately, he also has an older sister, otherwise, he just crossed over and didn't understand anything. He was only two or three years old, and he really didn't know what to do. Not capable of doing anything.

The final outcome is either to be adopted by other clansmen, or to be a beggar on the street, or more likely, to die in such an unknown way and become a member of the mass grave.

But all these years, just to take care of him, my sister, who was supposed to get married in her teens, dragged on until she was in her twenties, but she still didn't get married.

It's not that no one came to ask for a marriage. When Lin Qing was young, she saw a lot of matchmakers coming and going. After all, although her parents died, her sister's family background was not good, and there was even a younger brother who was a fool.

But she looks extremely beautiful. Although marrying a wife in ancient times valued family character more than appearance, such a good appearance naturally attracted many people's hearts.

What's more, Lin Yu has been studying for a few years and can read and write. This is still attractive to some wealthy merchants who aspire to become a scholarly family.

As far as they are concerned, it is basically impossible to climb high. No successful scholar in agriculture, industry and commerce will marry his daughter to a merchant. May marry.

But no matter which family came to ask for marriage, my sister refused. Now, she is over 20 years old. In this ancient time, she can be regarded as an old girl.

Although Lin Yu didn't say it all the time, Lin Qing was not a real child. He knew very well why the other party did this. It was just because he was afraid that if she married off, no one would be able to take care of him.

Lin Qing once talked to Lin Yu specifically about this matter. He hoped that his sister could find a good family and marry directly, so that she would not have to work so hard in the future, and could have a child of her own and live a happy life.

As for himself, he can take care of himself. What's more, the clan will also take care of him. Although life will definitely be more difficult, as long as he endures for a few years, sooner or later it will pass.

But even though Lin Qing talked all the way, he still couldn't convince him. Lin Yu, who was very stubborn in this matter, still remembered what his sister said to him at that time.

It is impossible to say that I am not moved in my heart. Lin Qing has lived two lifetimes. Except for his parents in the previous life, this is the first time someone is willing to give, and the sacrifice is still so big.

That is to say, from that moment on, Lin Qing was particularly firm in his idea of ​​studying in the imperial examination, and it was no longer just to change his current poor life, because he knew that only when he stood out, and only when he passed the Jinshi exam, could he be worthy of the title of Sister's dedication to him.

Lin Qing, who has struggled in society for many years, knows very well that even though her sister is an old girl now, no good family will come to marry her again.

But as long as he passed the Jinshi examination, became an official, and gained certain power and status, there would be many people who wanted to cling to him and rush to marry his sister.

Although those people would not be sincere, but in the ancient times of blind marriages and dumb marriages, the status of a married woman depends entirely on her natal family. As long as she stands upright, that sister will live happily ever after.

But my sister is now in her 20s, so he has to work harder, otherwise, it will be troublesome if she becomes an elderly mother after a few more years. In ancient times, giving birth was a hell.

Even the royal family, which has the world's best medical masters, cannot avoid the end of dystocia and blood collapse. Lin Qing dare not place his hope on luck. He must be admitted to Juren in three years at most.

Only in this way can he occupy a certain position in the clan, and be able to ask the patriarch to choose a good family for his sister, marry her off in a good manner, and let her be a happy bride.

Looking at the tablets of the ancestors of the Lin family in Shangshou, Lin Qing kept adding paper money and ingots to the brazier. Even though he knew it would be of no use, he couldn't help but start praying in his heart.

I pray that the parents of this body will bless him so that he can be admitted to Juren as soon as possible, so that his sister who has sacrificed so much for him can have a peaceful and bright future.
