Rebirth of the Son Raiders

Lin Yanhong came to Beijing alone this time.

Lin Jun continued to keep his filial piety in the mansion, and he would not leave Yunyang City for even half a step until he got rid of his clothes in May.

Lin Tong died two years ago. The 27-month filial period just happened to include the ninth day of the second month of the general examination.

It is obviously unrealistic to say that there is no trace of complaints in his heart, but after two years of silence, Lin Jun has at least come out of confusion and decadence, and he will marry a young lady from the Lu family this year, which is finally a happy event .

Lin Yanxing is a filial piety, but he is far from the high-spirited and smooth sailing in his "previous life".

Last year he ended up with Lin Yanhong, but he didn't even touch the tail of the Guibang. Sure enough, he was scolded by his grandfather Lin Qiongde who was idle at home and had an even more volatile temper. In the end, Lin Yanxing suffered a lot at home and had to Despondently, he went back to the government school.

However, without Mrs. Zhen's industrial support this time, he would not be able to live in such a luxurious and luxurious place in the past. Today's life is miserable, and it is not as happy as the children in Xiaofu's family who are loved by their parents.

In fact, there are countless people who fail the rankings in Qiu Wei every year. If there is no Lin Yanhong, an outstanding elder brother, Lin Yanxing is just one of the many students who failed the rankings, nothing special, and nothing to care about.

But Lin Yanhong was on the list, and he was at the top of the list. In addition, he was once the head of the case in Yunshui County, so he was even more eye-catching at a young age.

As the saying goes, if one is high above, the other will naturally be compared to the dust.

No matter whether he was studying at the government office or returning to his ancestral home during the Chinese New Year, wherever Lin Yanxing went, he would inevitably be compared with Lin Yanhong, and then he would get comments and comments that were "totally different".

After the Guibang was posted, Lin Yanhong decided to go directly to Tianjing to take part in the examination next year. Originally, Lin Yanxing wanted to "follow his elder brother to the capital to gain experience", and then set off to Tianjing together, but he got two proposals from Lin Qiongde and Lin Yanhong. Fang objected.

Without the "scrupulous planning" of the aunt and nephew Lin Tong and Mrs. Zhen, although the property in the mansion has not changed much, the income has shrunk due to the lack of salary of the two male masters and other reasons.

Lin Qiongde was unwilling to pay Lin Yanxing this hot money, and Lin Yanxing himself could not afford it.

Lin Yanhong wasn't because of money issues, he simply didn't want Lin Yanxing to go to the capital to confront his uncle's family.

It was because of Mrs. Zhen that Lin Qi died young back then, and now it is absolutely impossible for her elder brother to accept Mrs. Zhen's child.

In the past two years, Lin Yanxing was very obedient in front of Lin Yanhong, and in order to please his grandfather, uncle and elder brother, he never went to the family temple to see Mrs. Zhen once.

Lin Yanhong had the same enmity with him in his "previous life", and it was impossible to change his opinion no matter what. Seeing that he spared no effort to distance himself from Mrs. Zhen, not only did his impression of him not change, but he also extremely despised Lin Yanxing, a villain like Lin Yanxing act.

When leaving Yunyang City, Lin Yanhong once visited the family temple.

He didn't know what would happen after he went to the capital to take the test, and when he would return to Yunyang, so before leaving, Lin Yanhong wanted to make a temporary break with the past.

Mrs. Lin Tong was already dead. She was lying on the ground at this moment, her bones might be cold, but Mrs. Zhen was still alive.

If it weren't for the witchcraft involved in poisoning mother-in-law and aunt, Mrs. Zhen would not have survived at all.

But even if it is alive, it is better than death.

The family temple is not like the monk's dormitory where Lin Yanhong lived in Wushan. It is said to be the "place of pure cultivation" for the clansmen, but it is actually more like a prison.

The stout woman "takes care" of the guarded people day and night, taking pleasure in humiliating, beating and scolding them.

What the Lin family claimed was that because of Mrs. Zhen's carelessness, the servant girl who was out of the house ran into the old lady, which led to irreparable and serious consequences.

Mrs. Zhen is no longer the noble concubine of Lin Feng, the heir of Lin's family.

In Lin Yanhong's impression, Tong Zhen'er has always been gentle and dignified. Even when she was reprimanded by Lin Tong and looked down upon by others, she was still able to deal with it generously and gracefully without any slack.

Even if the crime was exposed that year, Tong Zhen'er did not completely lose her manners, which shows her character.

But the edges and corners of a person will be destroyed by setbacks, and the calm and elegant demeanor of a person will also disappear due to years of resentment and downfall.

This is really reflected in Mrs. Zhen.

To be honest, when Lin Yanhong saw Tong Zhen'er for the first time two years later, he couldn't tell at all that she was the magnificent Mrs. Zhen back then.

Without her black hair, she was dressed in a rough blue dress, showing a little corner of her black cloth shoes...

This appearance has nothing to do with the noble lady of the aristocratic family at 01:30, and looks very downcast.

Seeing Lin Yanhong, Tong Zhen'er, who originally had expectations in her eyes, was obviously disappointed. The twilight feeling on her body became more obvious, and her back became bent.

Probably because she remembered to force her posture in front of Lin Yanhong, she quickly stopped her back and sat beside her.

"Thinking about it, you probably thought that it was Lin Yanxing who came today."

The old lady of the family temple only told Tong Zhen'er that the young master of the long room came to see her, and didn't bother to say which young master it was.

It was this ambiguity that made Tong Zhen'er, who hadn't seen her son in the past two years, feel ecstatic.

However, the facts did not go as she wished.

"I have some good news for you. Next spring, I will go to Beijing to take part in the general examination. As for Lin Yanxing, he failed the exam and has already gone to the government school."

Tong Zhen'er had already heard the old lady discuss the fact that the young master was famous on the Guibang, but she didn't know about Lin Yanxing's situation.

With her cleverness, she had long guessed that her child might not be able to make it to the list, but now that she was admitted, she thought she behaved extremely plainly, and she didn't let Lin Yanhong see the joke.

Lin Yanhong also noticed the state of the other party. He smiled and said: "In the future, I will pass the general examination, go to the palace examination, and then step by step to the heights. In the future, I will ask my mother to give birth to parents and brothers. Beloved and your husband's love, you can still enjoy infinite glory after death."

For Lin Yanhong, in fact, the death of his mother means that all love and glory are no longer meaningful.

But he knew that for the arrogant Tong Zhen'er, these things she couldn't get would become her obsessions, and if she couldn't get them, she could only struggle with herself to death.

"What the young master said is that mothers naturally hope to enjoy the blessings of their sons." Mrs. Zhen pointedly said.

"Could it be that you want to enjoy Lin Yanxing's blessing?" Lin Yanhong seemed to have heard something extremely funny: "Let's wait and see."

Lin Yanhong thought of something, and continued: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that Lin Yanxing didn't come to the family temple, not because his grandfather detained him, nor because I stopped him, but because he tried his best to please us. I have drawn a clear line with you, so I deliberately did not come."

"Master, do you think I will believe what you say?" Tong Zhen'er's eyes immediately became sharp.

"Whether you believe it or not, anyway, you know what kind of person he is, so just wait slowly..."

……

Lin Yanhong now thinks about the despair in Tong Zhen'er's eyes, and his heart is full of joy.But when he thinks about Huijian and Li Jingcheng, he can easily forget about this woman who is destined to have a tragic ending.

He came all the way to the capital, all he wanted was to see how Li Jingcheng was doing now.

But until the end of the test, he had to stay in Qi Mansion for preparations, so he had no time or opportunity to go out at all.

The test will be held in the Gongyuan in the southeast of the inner city.Generally, there are 4 chief examiners, who are appointed as university scholars with Jinshi background, and officials above the vice capital censor below the minister.

Speaking of it, it was also a fate, Master Lu Ji, the doctor of Guozijian who had judged Lin Yanhong as the chief case in Yunshui, was also one of the examiners this year.

Compared with the local ones, the tribute courtyard in Tianjing is obviously much more "luxury" in repair, but the space allocated to each person is still very small, five feet long, four feet wide, and eight feet high. It is difficult to circle. .

Before going in, you have to search your body first, and you can catch people who try to cheat at this stage. Others pretend that they didn't see someone being dragged down by the soldiers, and they all focus on their own inspections. .

At first, three candles will be distributed to candidates, and the door will be locked immediately after entering, and candidates will answer papers inside, and even rest inside at night.

After finally passing all the exams, Lin Yanhong felt that he might have lost a lot of meat, and it would take a while to recover.

Lin Yanhong returned to Qi Mansion to rest for a day, and on the second day, his elder cousin Qi Wenbo, his twin cousins ​​Qi Wenshu and Qi Wenhua brothers took Lin Yanhong out.

They can't let their beloved cousin be bored in the house - if they still think about the result of the test, it will definitely affect their mood.

"Let's go, brother, I have always regretted not being able to take you to eat all the delicacies in Shuchuan two years ago. Now that you finally come to the capital, we don't mean to eat all over the capital, but at least we have to give you the ones that you can't miss. once."

Lin Yanhong: "..." Why did the eldest cousin say that the purpose of his coming to the capital is not to test, but purely to eat?

But he was worried that he would not have the chance to leave the mansion, so naturally he agreed very happily.

Qi Wenbo looked at his cousin, whom he hadn't seen for two years, who was becoming more and more outstanding, and decided that his decision was too "wise and powerful", so without further delay, he immediately took his twin sons and Lin Yanhong to the boat in the city lake.

"The painted boats in the capital are different from those in Shuchuan..." Qi Wenbo smiled ambiguously, seeing Lin Yanhong in a cloud.

"What's different, brother, are you sure you've been to that different one?" Qi Wenshu was originally the youngest in the Qi family and the most favored, but now he has no pressure to expose his cousin.

"Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig running?" Qi Wenbo smiled in front of his cousin, no longer carrying it.

When they really came to Chengzhong Lake, Lin Yanhong realized that the painting boats here were really different from those in Shuchuan.

Just by looking at the towering hull and the decoration on the outside, one can feel the majesty of Tianjing.

They were about to choose one of the most gorgeous ones to board, when someone came up to greet Qi Wenbo.

"It's an unlucky time to come today. Several sons of Wang Shizi, Wang Xiang's family, and several sons of aristocratic families are on board. I'm afraid we won't be able to listen to Xianjiban's music today."

Hearing this, Qi Wenbo couldn't help being a little surprised: "The four princes are here?" What day is it today, and why are they here so neatly?

"It seems that Prince Yu's son has not arrived yet... We are planning to change homes now, why doesn't Brother Qi come with us?"

In a boat with His Royal Highnesses, they can't see anything. Not only are they cramped, but they don't have to enjoy it. They might as well find other fun on their own.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement not far away.

Everyone looked and found that it was a group of people who had just stopped at the port of the dock. On top of the leading red horse was a man in a dark blue brocade robe. Others pay attention.

Lin Yanhong's eyes widened slightly, and he watched the man throw the whip to his followers and strode towards him. His heartbeat suddenly increased, and he couldn't help clenching his fists. He didn't know what he was nervous about.

As the man got closer and closer, everyone's eyes focused on him.

The man was taller than Qi Wenbo, his handsome face was full of indifference, and there was no warmth in his eyes.

When they walked past Lin Yanhong and the others, everyone saluted him, but he just nodded slightly, and then passed them without looking sideways, without any intention of stopping to greet them.

Lin Yanhong didn't even feel that the other party saw him.

Looking at the back of that person going away without nostalgia, Lin Yanhong felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
