Lin Feng was stunned when he heard the words, but he didn't react for a while.

Seeing this, the official who congratulated Lin Feng was not surprised that he behaved like this, so he cupped his hands again and said: "Brother Huaifeng can't shirk this time, we must invite everyone to have a drink."

In the final analysis, this child's entrance examination is just the first hurdle on the road of examination.

Even if the officials who can work in the county at this time have a background of recommended officials, they have probably experienced this test and will not take it seriously.

It is possible to stand out from the countless candidates in the county and win the championship in one fell swoop, it still requires a bit of ability and luck.

In particular, this official is familiar with Lin Feng, so he has naturally heard about Lin Feng's son-in-law, and knows that he is not yet 13 years old.

With such achievements at such a young age, it is actually named after Han Qitong of Yunxi Han's family, who is about the same age as Han Qitong of the Han family in Yunxi.

It's a pity that the Lin family is still considered a prominent family in Yunshui, after all, it is not as good as the Han family with someone who is an official in the court. I am afraid that it is still somewhat difficult to spread the name in Liangjing, but it is very rare.

The official's family also has nephews who are slightly older than Lin Yanhong, and some of them have been admitted to the government to study, but they have not been able to go to Qingtong Academy. It is expected that Lin Yanhong will take the lead this time, and I am afraid that both Guozijian and Qingtong Academy will be able to go, and I can't help feeling a little bit. Very envious.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had changed from envy to this colleague many years ago, to sympathy later, and then to sincere envy now. Several changes can be described as "changeable".

In fact, not long after, everyone in the county heard the news, and many people who knew Lin Feng's family background all had the same idea as this official.

Lin Feng was originally the second son of the third house in the family. In a blink of an eye, he was adopted by the eldest house, and he obtained the Lin family's century-old business.

It's just that later, luck was bad, and the wife who married the right family died early, leaving behind a sick and crooked son.

It was so easy because a Zezhi Courtyard repaired by the ancestors was favored by the king of Zhejun, and he held a poetry appreciation party, but it was destroyed by the concubine's arrogance, which attracted bad rumors, and the disciples of the Lei clan were ridiculed.

I heard that his second brother, Qiu Wei, ended up miserable. He didn't enter Chun Wei this time, and he seemed to plan to fight in three years. I don't know how many people are waiting to see the joke.

However, Lin's mansion was in a gloomy state, and there was good news - his sick son-in-law went to Wushan, and when he came back, he was in good health. recover.

Coupled with the fact that Lin Yanhong also won the title of the first case this time, he tried his best to turn the tide.

It was also rumored before that the Lin family's concubine's sentence "Out of the mud but not stained, in the clean water but not demon" was written by someone else.

From this point of view, the century-old scholarly fragrance of the Lin family is worthy of its name.

However, there are also people who questioned that this ghostwriting may have been accidental. Within a day, Lin Qiongde had listened to no less than a few versions.

One of them has convinced the most people is the saying of "brother stealing brother's text".

They said that this article "Love Lotus" was written by Lin Yanhong, but his younger brother read it, and when he went to Wushan and failed to return to participate in the lotus poetry appreciation meeting, he used this article to show his face in front of King Zhejun.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiongde didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Happily, because of Lin Yanhong's victory, the pressure on Lin's students suddenly eased, and they gradually stopped being implicated and notorious.

What is worrying is that Lin Yanxing's "grievances" have still not been cleared up. Even if he stole his brother's writings, it is indeed an excuse for bad conduct.

However, of the two grandsons, one won the case, while the one who really needed to "turn the tide" failed in the exam.

If it weren't for the extra quota this year, Lin Yanxing might not have been admitted as a student.

Lin Qiongde and Lin Feng each invited their colleagues to drink, not to mention, Lin Yanhong himself was also very surprised when he got the news.

It was the first time for him to take the exam, and he originally thought that with more than ten years of experience in studying, he could pass a child's exam and be cheap, but he never thought that he would be the top of the case.

Mr. Lin Qiongde and Lin Feng have all read Lin Yanhong's articles, and he himself knows very well that his own context is straightforward and not easy to use flowery rhetoric, which is not pleasing to the eyes of most reviewers.

Especially before the Tongsheng examination, they had already obtained Li Yi, the chief examiner of Yunshui County, the editor of the Hanlin Academy. It is reported that this person always likes gorgeous articles, so he must not like Lin Yanhong's normal and orderly style of writing.

Unexpectedly, Master Li was inexplicably involved in a lawsuit before leaving Beijing, and was temporarily replaced by Lu Ji, a doctor from the Imperial Academy.

This doctor is almost ancient and has taught at the Imperial College for more than 30 years. He is the most meticulous person, completely opposite to Li Yi, and he dislikes the gorgeous style of writing that is popular nowadays.

The candidates who were all running towards Li Yi and prepared well were caught off guard. They all wondered if Jinshang suddenly became displeased with Yunshui County, or why he was so "difficult" for Yunshui students?

So it was also due to luck. Among the gorgeous articles, when Lu Ji saw Lin Yanhong's paper at first sight, his eyes lit up. He just felt a little bit happier after reading it through, and got a high score with a stroke of a pen. .

Because the chief examiner has changed, the local officials never wanted to offend the doctor of Guozijian, who is full of peaches and plums, so they naturally chose to "reluctantly part with each other" and temporarily changed "aesthetics".

So Lin Yanhong's test paper was taken first, which is not a strange thing.

However, no matter how the "taste" is changed, those examiners will not take that kind of mediocre essay, let alone a pedant like Lu Ji.

Although Lin Yanhong's articles are "not flashy", they are "truthful". His background is beyond the "peers", not to mention the open-mindedness and broadening of horizons regardless of life and death, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In his "previous life" he failed to take the exam, and Lin Yanhong paid little attention to the boy's exam in the inner house. He could only remember Han Qi as a genius, so he didn't have to remember anything else.

Whether Li Yi was the chief examiner or Lu Ji was the examiner this year, Lin Yanhong couldn't remember at all.

Such a feeling of joy falling from the sky makes people feel unrealistic and illusory.

Until Lin Qiongde and Lin Feng returned home and summoned Lin Yanhong and Lin Yanxing to He Antang, they could feel his brother's sneaky peeping all the way, Lin Yanhong thought: "This guy still has the heart to look at me..."

……

When he entered He An Tang, Lin Yanhong saw his father's smiling face from ear to ear, and he felt happy immediately.

What he didn't expect was the expression of his grandfather Lin Qiongde, which seemed to be filled with joy and a sense of astringency.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was normal for his grandfather to be in a complicated mood now, but he still saluted the two elders respectfully on the surface.

——His grandson, who was not his own, won the case, but Lin Jun, his own son, didn't even participate in Chunwei... Comparing this, how could Lin Qiongde be happy?

After the two of them stood still, Lin Qiongde said: "Brother Hong is doing well this time, and he didn't embarrass our ancestors of the Lin family. Before, because you had to prepare for the birth test, Brother Hong's birthday was not a big deal. Now that the family With such a happy event, it’s still going to be lively.”

Lin Feng immediately echoed Lin Qiongde's words when he heard the words. He was complimented by his colleagues before, but he was far less happy than seeing Lin Yanhong at this moment.

He remembered that when Fa's wife was just pregnant, the two of them had great expectations for the child, and they were full of hope that he would have both blessings and fortunes and make great achievements.

Only later, Lin Qi's family died, and Lin Yanhong's health was not good. Lin Feng's wish gradually became "It's good that Brother Hong can grow up safely".

Although it is just a child's test now, to Lin Feng, it means a lot.

This seems to be a sign, perhaps it is a sign that the expectations of their husband and wife will be realized step by step in the future-their eldest son will not only grow up safely, but also one day be able to start a family, start a business, achieve success in education, and realize his ambitions.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's eyes were a little moist. He didn't want people to see the clue, so he turned his eyes slightly and looked to the side. It didn't matter, and he saw the ashen-faced concubine, and Lin Feng was stunned.

It was only then that he realized that after such a heated discussion for a long time, everyone had completely forgotten about Brother Xing.

During this period of time, because of Mrs. Zhen's confinement, there was no way to go out (block) (people), and because Lin Feng was holding Lin Yanhong's body tightly after winter, so very few people went to Nanyuan.

But it would be a lie to say that he didn't care about this bastard at all. Thinking about his ranking in the child birth test this time, Lin Feng is different from Lin Qiongde, what he cares about is only the child's mood.

At this moment, seeing Lin Yanxing's complexion is extremely bad, it is obvious that he is ashamed of his achievements, and with such an excellent brother in comparison, he is naturally even more ashamed, and I feel a little pitiful for him.

It's just that Lin Feng knows his father Lin Qiongde very well, so speaking for Lin Yanxing at this moment is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

Lin Yanhong noticed his father's strange behavior, and immediately followed his gaze and glanced to the side casually. Seeing Lin Yanxing's disheveled expression, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said: "After the grandson and Yanxing went through this exam, I'm afraid I will go to the academy to ask questions in a few days, but I don't know, can we go to Qingtong or Fuxue this time? I also hope that my grandfather will plan for my two brothers."

Hearing this, Lin Qiongde immediately understood what he meant, thought for a while and said: "According to the current situation of the two of you, Hong Geer is probably going to the Imperial College and Qingtong, but Xing Geer is here, and I'm afraid I still have to plan some."

According to the old calendar of Yunshui County's children's examination in the past, the top [-] in the government examination can choose to go to Qingtong Academy or the government school, especially the top three, may also enter the Imperial Academy in Tianjing.

However, Lin Yanhong was young, and no one in the Lin family was an official in the capital, so it was better to go to Qingtong Academy than to go to Guozijian.

Firstly, Qingtong's name is no different from that of Guozijian, and secondly, it is closer to his home, so it is convenient to take care of his daily life.

After all, there were students from Yuan County who traveled thousands of miles to Beijing in the past, but they were delayed for a year and a half due to acclimatization. Although Lin Yanhong was in good health, Lin did not want to take any risks with him. If something went wrong, the loss would outweigh the gain up.

Because all the elders in Han Qi's family were from the government school, he entered the government school in the name of the head of the case.

Lin's ancestors used to teach in Qingtong, so all the Lin's children who did well in their exams would go to Qingtong, and Lin Yanhong was no exception.

It's just that Lin Yanxing is ranked as the queen mother this time, and if he wants to enter Qingtong together, it may be a little troublesome.
