Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

The 28th of the twelfth lunar month is in addition to the dark.

The mother took a brother-in-law to do laundry and wash the floor.Lin Fangxu and his elder brother climbed up to the roof to break the tiles and remove the weeds.

Lin Fangqin looked at the children playing in the yard, and asked, "Brother Xu, did you take Mumu and the others to the teahouse yesterday?"

Lin Fangxu didn't know that Mu Mu had "reported the secret", so he replied: "Yes, I was tired from walking, so I went to sit in the Honghu Tower, and the second brother was also inside."

Hearing that Lin Fangming was also there, Lin Fangqin frowned and said, "Oh... I heard that there are still people who write poems. I don't know if there are any good ones."

Although Lin Fangxu seldom saw that his elder brother was interested in these things, he didn't think much about it. He just replied: "There is a poem, which is very well written. I still remember it. I will read it to my elder brother." Then read the complete poem out.

After Lin Fangxu finished reading, seeing his elder brother's serious face, he asked directly, "Mumu saw that this poem was written by your second sister-in-law, did Brother Xu see it?"

Lin Fangxu didn't expect Mu Mu to see it, and he didn't intend to hide it from his elder brother: "Indeed, my second cousin and I both saw it, and it was indeed written by my second sister-in-law, but it may not be her idea, maybe she saw it somewhere. Not necessarily."

After hearing what he said, Lin Fangqin didn't intend to tell his younger brother what Fu Lang had noticed.

Can't deny it: "Maybe, I heard that the county test will be registered on the [-]th day of the first month. It seems that this year's county test will start around the [-]th day of February, which is a bit earlier than last year. Brother Xu, don't worry about it. For those trivial matters, you only need to concentrate on preparing for the end, and you don’t need to pay too much attention to the result, you are still young, just take it as an experience."

Lin Fangxu nodded naturally, just like Lin Fangqin didn't want his younger brother to be distracted and affect his official career, Lin Fangxu didn't plan to tell his elder brother about his rebirth for the time being.

It's still the same sentence, without fame, even if you know it, you can do limited things, it's just one more person to worry about.

But now it seems that the eldest brother and the others must have noticed the strangeness of Ai Xiaoya.Perhaps the elder brother had already discovered it in the previous life, so he imposed more restrictions on her.

Sitting on the ridge of the roof, Lin Fangxu had a panoramic view of the blue bricks and black tiles. After experiencing the famine and war of the previous dynasty, the village that still stands today looks quiet and beautiful in the winter sunshine.

The sparkling river is full of women and husbands who wash clothes.

Grandpa and Grandpa Six are playing chess under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the ancestral hall. The two are fighting, and a group of "military advisers" are pointing at the side.

A group of children were running, jumping and frolicking in the grain drying field, and they could be seen from a distance, and the fastest runner was Ermu Napier.

Maybe it was because the sun on the roof was too bright, or maybe the pictures of the countryside were too beautiful, Lin Fangxu sat on the roof in a daze, until he heard the voice of Lin Fangqi on the next roof.

"Brother Xu! Look at the entrance of the village, there are several cars, it seems that Uncle Cheng Gui and his family are back!" Lin Fangqi stood on his roof and shouted loudly.

Lin Fangxu also looked up, and the convoy had already entered the village.The most prestigious elders in Linjiacun, besides the patriarch's grandpa, is Uncle Cheng Gui's father, the sixth grandpa.

Uncle Cheng Gui, whose ancestors and Lin Yushi were the same mother and brother, came from the same family background as a Jinshi, and went to the county magistrate of Kaihua.

After returning to his hometown, he saw that the clan members were not even allowed to enter the examination room, and the family gradually declined, and finally died of depression.

During the reign of Emperor Shuai, the Lin clan struggled to make ends meet. The children in the clan didn't know what reading was, and the lineage was about to be broken.

Uncle Cheng Gui's grandfather, with the support of the patriarch and the whole clan at that time, became a merchant with the money collected by the clan and started a north-south business.

Later, it was a loss, and it was not until Uncle Cheng Gui's father, Grandpa Liu, who was in charge of the family, gradually improved.

The renovation and expansion of the clan's ancestral hall and the construction of the road from the village to the official road were all paid by the sixth grandfather's family, and [-] acres of sacrifice land were added to the clan.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he re-registered the household registration population. With the help of the great grandfather, the sixth grandfather returned the family's household registration to Linjiacun.

It may be that none of his sons are talented in reading. The sixth grandfather strongly supported the children of the family to study in the imperial examination. I think that when Lin Fangxu went to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival, the sixth grandfather gave him 200 taels of silver.

"Brother Xu, don't look, hurry down." Seeing that the house was finished, Lin Fangqin beckoned Lin Fangxu to go down.

Lin Fangxu stood up, patted the ashes on his buttocks, greeted Lin Fangqi, and followed his brother down the roof.

The next day, in addition to washing and brushing, he was also busy making rice cakes, grinding tofu, writing Spring Festival couplets, etc., until the evening when Lin Fangming leisurely returned home.

When Lin Fangming arrived home, no one else responded, but Ai Xiaoya was very nervous. She had never faced this husband alone before time travelling, so she didn't know what to say.

But soon, Ai Xiaoya found that her nervousness was in vain, because Lin Fangming went to sleep in the study at night, Ai Xiaoya was relieved and at the same time felt aggrieved.

Thirty of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve

On this day, the stove in the kitchen did not rest when I got up early in the morning, and my mother, brother-in-law and the others were even more busy early in the morning.

Lin Fangxu followed his eldest brother to prepare the family sacrificial items first, and then helped to paste the Spring Festival couplets. After everything was done, Lin Fangming got up, brushed his teeth with a cup, and looked at his son by the Simu cradle.

It's amazing to say that Simu still cries every time he sees Ai Xiaoya. Except for Xisan, this is the second time he sees his second brother, but he can show a smile.

Seeing his son smiling at him, Lin Fangming was also very happy. He put down the cup and toothbrush, reached out to pick up the child, and teased him.

Mrs. Zhao's husband did not come back for the New Year, and Simu couldn't leave her, so she stayed at Lin's house for the New Year. She was shocked to see Lin Fangming hugging the child, but fortunately, he was still holding the child in a decent manner.

Lin Fangqin watched him wandering around with the child in his arms, with a look of relief on his face, and said: "People who have sons should take care of themselves, don't run around in the first month, and they will end in February, so stay at home and read books. "

Lin Fangming was most annoyed by his elder brother's preaching, so he said perfunctorily, "Got it, it's okay, I'm going to read."

After speaking, he casually threw Simu to Mrs. Zhao, and Lin Fangming ran back to the study.

Seeing his perfunctory appearance, Lin Fangqin was disappointed but didn't say any more. He asked Lin Fangxu to carry out the incense table and put it in the middle of the courtyard. He placed the pig's head, pig's tail, and whole chicken cooked earlier in the morning as sacrifices to heaven and earth, praying for a good harvest in the coming year.

Ai Xiaoya was at the door of the kitchen, helping to watch the soup stove. Not far away, she saw the movements of the brothers.

Speaking of wanting to make a fortune, Lin Fangqin and his wife are simply the biggest obstacle.

One is a typical feudal patriarch, who has to take care of everyone and wishes everyone to live according to his ideas. It is estimated that in his eyes, caring for husbands and raising children is what he should do.

One is very shrewd, she considers herself the housekeeper's wife, and she is also a master who meddles in all big and small matters.

There is no opportunity, and as a daughter-in-law by myself, I dare not rashly mention the separation of the family in this feudal society. If I really want to do this, kneeling in the ancestral hall is considered light.

Hey..., the evil feudal system!

Originally, Ai Xiaoya was still struggling to find a way out, but after hearing the conversation between the two brothers today, she suddenly realized that maybe Lin Fangming was more unwilling than herself to be controlled by others, and wanted to separate the family even more.

Ai Xiaoya's mood became more relaxed, and she concentrated on watching the fire, but she was thinking in her heart, what method should be used to win over Lin Fangming.

But don't worry, she has been in the office for more than ten years in her previous life, and she is not lacking in patience, not to mention Lin Fangming brother has to take the county examination.

Ai Xiaoya is actually not very interested in obtaining fame and fame. After all, she was a civil servant in her previous life, and she was considered a member of the government. She only served people, her salary was not high, and she had no power. In modern society, there are many people who are more glamorous than her, let alone Talk about those big bosses, big stars and so on.

Yuanben's father was almost 40 years old and only passed the exam as a scholar, so he was exempted from taxation and corvee labor.

That little tax is not much, and the corvee can also be paid for with silver, so Ai Xiaoya thinks that Yuanben's father should earn more money instead of wasting decades to be a scholar.

However, the Lin family seems to attach great importance to imperial examinations. Although Ai Xiaoya has different ideas, she doesn't want to provoke other people's beliefs.

Seeing the crispy stewed chicken in the pot, Ai Xiaoya got up, walked into the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Brother, the soup is almost done, let me cut the meat for you."

Although Zhao Shiyue had doubts about her, he would not refuse other people's kindness, so he gave up his seat with a smile and worked together for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The Lin family's New Year's Eve dinner usually has ten bowls, honoring the "perfect and ten blessings". After the meals are put on the table, firecrackers are set off.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, each family will individually burn incense and paper to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.

The Lin family has to be a little busy, because the ancestral hall will be opened on the first day of the new year, and the family sacrifices will be held, and the sacrifices must be prepared.
