No matter how reluctant he was, he still had to say goodbye to his uncle, aunt and cousin's family. As the New Year's Eve was approaching, Lin Yanhong returned to Yunyang City with Lin Yansi and his party.

Although they spent the New Year in Beijing for two consecutive years, they would still return to their hometowns during Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival.

At the beginning, Lin Qiongde had some objections to the two brothers staying in the capital for the New Year, but everyone in the clan said that Brother Hong couldn't go home frequently because he was busy compiling history, so he was very considerate of his loyalty to the emperor.

The patriarch Lin Qiongde couldn't blatantly ask Lin Yanhong not to be loyal to the emperor, saying that returning home is a big deal.

Due to the long distance, it may take more than a month to go back and forth, and in addition to the busy business in the center, it is very common for officials in the capital to return to their hometown only once a year, or even once every few years.

This time when Lin Yanhong returned home, the family didn't care whether Lin Qiongde was happy or not, especially Sanfang, who went to the ferry port to pick him up very hospitablely.

Even the people in the fifth room also sent someone to wait with the excuse of wanting to see Lin Yansi.

When Lin Qiongde saw that Lin Yanhong came back and embraced him, he was even more beautiful than his grandfather who was the patriarch. Then he thought that Lin Yanhong would soon go to Pingwu to serve as the governor of Pingyang, and he felt even more depressed.

He is at the end of his life when he reaches the sixth rank, because he is a recommended official, and he can't even ask his wife for an imperial order, but Lin Yanhong is already an official of the fifth rank before he reaches the crown. There is a big difference between them. It's hard not to mind.

Originally, he wanted to show off his grandfather's score, but Lin Yanhong didn't follow him. He saluted as he should, but he would not let Lin Qiongde remain silent and continue to bend down.

He raised his head with Lin Yansi, and said very plainly: "Grandfather is well."

As a result, Lin Qiongde hadn't expressed dissatisfaction yet, but Lin Jun who was standing by the side spoke sinisterly, reprimanding Brother Lin Yanhong for being rude to his grandfather.

Lin Yanhong looked at Lin Jun with a gloomy face, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "As soon as the two of us entered the door, I immediately saluted my grandfather and uncle. I felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Why did uncle say that?" Can it be said that they bowed and saluted without waiting for Lin Qiongde to call out, so they were not saluting?

Seeing this, Lin Qiongde immediately helped his son, and reprimanded Lin Yanhong: "Do you think that you can be disrespectful to your elders because of your high status? What if His Majesty knows about such disrespectful acts?"

He even dared to threaten him... Lin Yanhong narrowed his eyes slightly, not afraid: "Grandfather and uncle have wronged Hongxiu. Even though we are far away in Beijing, Yansi and I are very concerned about our family. This year's ceremony is even more elaborate. Prepare, uncles and aunts all say that we have grown up and are thoughtful."

In previous years, the New Year gift was sent by Qi Zhang to help watch Zhang Luo, but because it was sent back to Yunyang in the name of Lin Yanhong, Lin Qiongde could only be picky in every possible way.

It had long been expected that Lin Qiongde would mention this matter face to face, so Lin Yanhong simply took this opportunity to speak up and block the other party's words.

Without waiting for Lin Qiongde to say anything else, he turned to Lin Jun and said, "Uncle will take part in the Chunwei next year, and there will be a palace examination after that. Hongxiu specifically asked his cousin to look for useful catalogs in the Imperial College, and personally supervise the transcription. I brought back some books from Beijing, hoping to help my uncle."

Of course, he would not give Lin Jun the experience he had sorted out back then, all of that would be left to his Yansi...

As for asking his cousin Qi Wenbo to find books in the Imperial College, it is not a lie.After all, in front of people, it is still necessary to "fully" express the nephew's "concern" for his uncle.

Doing superficial work is actually the easiest thing in the world.

It’s not that I can’t find the compilation of the famous papers of the previous spring exams and palace examinations, but it’s just that they don’t have the complete collection of the Imperial College. It took a lot of thought to look at the thick papers brought back, but it’s just the questions written more than ten years ago. Whether the volume still has any effect is unknown...

Who cares anyway.

When Lin Jun heard this, embarrassment and anger flashed in his eyes. He felt that Lin Yanhong was simply laughing at him, mocking him for still participating in Chunwei. Because he had no fame, he always felt inferior.

Lin Qiongde hadn't read these books yet, so he didn't expect Lin Yanhong to be so "bold".

He thought that Lin Yanhong was afraid of the threat that he was "known by His Majesty" just now, he gave in, and said with some pride in his heart: "This is what you should do...I asked you to find it a long time ago, but you have dragged it until now, It shouldn't have been."

Thinking about the new year, and it was only two months before Chunwei, Lin Qiongde felt that Lin Yanhong did this kind of thing on purpose, and suddenly felt dissatisfied, so his words became more "severe".

Lin Yansi was listening to his grandfather reprimanding his elder brother, no matter how well-behaved and docile he was usually, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his elder brother.

In his opinion, his elder brother was busy with affairs, and he was ill at the beginning of the year, which was extremely dangerous. There was only a letter from the family, and it seemed that he didn't care about his elder brother's health at all.

At that time, everyone was worried about his elder brother, and his father also asked for leave from Yunyang officials to come to Beijing, so no one cared about what the people in the Lin family were doing.Later, when my elder brother recovered, it was really chilling to think about the scene at that time.

Now the grandfather still blamed his elder brother for sending him late, which reminded Lin Yansi of what his elder brother said to him in Qi Mansion - the way of filial piety should have its causes and consequences.

Lin Yansi felt that a family should be like living in Qi Mansion.

Uncle is strict but cares about their studies, and occasionally asks a few things about life, even if it ends, you can feel uncle's concern; aunt is kind and gentle, showing care for them in every aspect of life, no matter how small , and often "boom" him to play, reminding him in front of his uncle and elder brother, "You can't just study hard, you need to know that you are a scholar who is useless."

Although he was very happy to see his father Lin Feng, Lin Yansi felt that he didn't like this place at all.

Lin Yanhong "seeed" Lin Yansi's "little ears" pricked up high, and his "tail" was close to his side, so he knew that he was on guard now, obviously very vigilant towards Lin Qiongde and Lin Jun.

Lin Yanhong was very happy that Yansi had such an attitude towards them, so that even if he was not in Lin's mansion, with his father and Shi Qing around, Yansi himself was on guard, and it was not easy for anything to happen.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanhong ignored Lin Qiongde's words, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Did Brother Xing come back from the school?"

Lin Qiande seemed to hear something disgusting, and said impatiently: "No."

——They have all arrived after returning from Tianjing, and the government school can see how much they don't want to go home.

Lin Yanhong originally used him to divert Lin Qiongde's attention, so he stopped asking.

Celebrating the New Year at home is obviously not as lively and comfortable in Qi Mansion. If it weren't for his father Lin Feng and younger brother Yansi, Lin Yanhong would have wanted to leave for Pingwu as soon as possible.

Coupled with the fact that someone got his reply, it fully demonstrated how to write the four characters of pushing an inch, which is very exhausting.

There wasn't much to write on the note, so he attached a sour poem, and I don't know where he copied the poem. Every sentence is more boring than the other, making people blush.

After seeing the words "Daily thinking about the king's absence, night and night waiting for the king's return", Lin Yanhong finally set off, still heading for Pingwu along the waterway with his servants.

……

After Lin Yanhong arrived at Pingwu's county mansion, he didn't plan to go to the government office in a hurry.

She was going to wander around the city and find a courtyard of the government office to rent.

The governor of Pingyang was also led by King Yu, but King Yu had his own prince's mansion and would not live in the governor's mansion, so the back house of the governor's mansion became Biejia's residence.

It's just that before Lin Yanhong completed the official handover ceremony, he was not included in Pingwu's official office, so naturally he was not eligible to live in the Dudu Mansion immediately.

Lin Yanhong originally planned to find a seat first, and then go to the Dudu Mansion to do the handover. After all, after the old Biejia was sealed, the new Biejia sacrifice gate, thanksgiving, and seal worship were very complicated, and it would not be possible to do it in a short time.

And without the governor, some matters cannot be handled, so at least you have to wait to see King Yu before proceeding with the next handover.

——It is not so easy to meet the prince...

Unexpectedly, when he just entered the city, he was surprised by the battle waiting there.

A middle-aged official in official uniform stepped forward: "Lord Lin, we have been waiting here for a long time."

"This is?" Lin Yanhong got off the car and looked at them suspiciously. After listening to the explanation, he realized that it was the governor who hoped that Mr. Lin could complete the handover as soon as possible and enter the governor's mansion.

Moreover, His Royal Highness King Yu was already in the Governor's Mansion, waiting for the new Chief History.

The official's attitude is very attentive, and there are many people accompanying him, so it looks really grand at first glance.

Hearing that His Royal Highness King Yu was waiting for him, Lin Yanhong was flattered. Regardless of whether such a grand welcome ceremony was intended to surprise or frighten Lin Yanhong, anyway, judging from the external shocking effect, it had already been achieved.

Lin Yanhong met King Yu earlier than he thought.

The man in front of him is already middle-aged, but the years seem to be particularly friendly to him, so that he is no different from the man Lin Yanhong saw a few years ago.

He is equally heroic and unsmiling.

Compared with him, His Majesty looked much older and weaker, especially after the incident in the paddock on the outskirts of Beijing, he looked even more tired and mentally weak.

Avoiding left and right, King Yu only left Lin Yanhong in front of him.

He said calmly and even a little flatly: "Long time no see."

The first time Lin Yanhong met King Yu was when he was in Yunyang. One night, the other party brought a little wolf cub to visit Lin's mansion unannounced.

Later, Li Jingcheng "borrowed" to live in the Qi Mansion, and occasionally saw His Royal Highness King Yu, but when Li Jingcheng and Lin Yanhong entered Beijing successively, they could no longer see King Yu so easily.

The other party said "Long time no see", and he was really right.
