The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Xue Pan stared at him with wide-eyed eyes, deeply puzzled why Lin Mingyu did not seize the great opportunity, but chose to fight alone against such an aristocratic family like the Jia Mansion.

"Concubine Xian was named concubine because of her virtues. Madam Wang is so short-sighted. Concubine Xian's harem is full of grandeur, and her heart must be far from that of ordinary women. Why should I worry about it. After all, Jia's family is my natal family, blood relatives, can't be broken So much for each other."

Xue Pan almost laughed angrily.Blood relatives?Liar!If you, Lin Mingyu, were thinking about your blood relatives, you wouldn't take revenge on Mrs. Wang over and over again on her only son.But looking at Lin Ming's virtue of not making progress, Xue Pan knew very well that the kid in front of him probably wouldn't change his mind.

He let out a long sigh with hatred, Xue Pan sneered in his heart and thought: Well, when you suffer from disaster and are panicked and helpless, you will know that I am well.

He didn't say anything at the moment, and drank in silence.

Lin Mingyu didn't put down the chopsticks either, so he stood up and said calmly, "Thank you Mr. Xue for your hospitality. I have something important to do, so let's take my leave."

Then he opened the door and strode away.

Lin Mingyu was sitting on the carriage, especially thinking about Xue Pan's words in her heart.It wasn't that he didn't care, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate to join forces with the Xue family at this time.Lin Mingyu was not optimistic about Xue Baochai's road to promotion in the court.The daughter of a merchant has no talent or virtuous name. Among the famous ladies everywhere, what is outstanding?Furthermore, he still held the Jia family's shortcomings in his hands, and Jia's mother also promised that the concubine Yuan would not harm Daiyu.

What he said before was not entirely false.Jia Yuanchun was certainly not stupid to be able to ascend to the imperial concubine position.Now that she has a son, if she is really ambitious, it's time to find help. The Lin family is a relative after all.She would never be so stupid as to commit suicide, Lin Mingyu decided to wait and see what happened.

Concubine Yuan is just smart, if she doesn't frame Daiyu...Lin Mingyu's eyes moved, and a fierce look appeared on her lips.

After returning from Changping Palace, Lin Mingyu went into the study.The story book that promised the fifth princess must be put on the agenda. As a modern nerd, Lin Mingyu can easily read fairy tales about coaxing little girls.

Fortunately, he has traveled through many times and learned a good handwriting early. It is really pleasing to the eyes when he writes it loosely on paper.Because of devotion, when Lin Mingyu put down his pen, his neck was already sore.Candles were lit in the study, and before you knew it, the sky was already dark.

Lin Da stood silently in the corner of the study like a shadow, at this moment he stepped forward and said respectfully, "Master, have you passed on the dinner?"

Lin Mingyu nodded, and Lin Dashi gave orders calmly.Looking at his busy figure, Lin Mingyu couldn't help sighing that Lin Da had changed a lot.After following him for a year, he seems to be much older than before, and he seems to be the most capable person around him. Looking at the attitude of other servants towards him, it seems that he has acquiesced to his status.

On the contrary, Mantou, who had been with him for the longest time, may not hang out in front of him for a long time, and he has become accustomed to Lin Da's taciturn but considerate service.

The next day was Chunwei.Lin Mingyu prepared the carriage early and personally sent Lin Yue into the examination room.

There were too many students rushing for the exam, and the street was blocked, Lin Mingyu unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance, and Jia's luxurious carriage was crowded in the middle of the street, unable to move.Seven or eight boys around were cursing and shoving the examinees and their relatives, causing all the examinees to glare at them.

This excitement made the already congested streets even more unsmooth. All the candidates wanted to enter the examination room first and choose a better seat, but when they were delayed, they became angry.Literati have relied on their status since they came, and they all want to criticize the powerful and powerful, but if there is a trouble, no one is willing to stand out.Therefore, there are some complaints, but no one really dares to move Jia's carriage.

Thus a strange sight appeared.In the crowd, several luxurious carriages lined up, occupying two-thirds of the street, while candidates from all over the place crowded the other one-third of the street and passed slowly.Seeing the crowd lined up, the curtains of the several carriages were lifted, and each complimented each other, Lin Mingyu looked at them coldly, they were all descendants of aristocratic families who were on good terms with Jia's mansion.

But what was done in Jia's carriage was Jia Rong who had been taught a lesson by Yunhua just before.There was no trace of embarrassment left by the prison disaster on his face, he was as arrogant and imposing as before.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Lin Mingyu, but he just sneered, and looked away arrogantly, as if there was no one in his eyes.

Mantou followed, and said angrily: "This kid is too much, he turned a blind eye when he saw the uncle. We were caught in a sea of ​​people, and we couldn't get out. I went to him and said, I will let them reserve a place for our car .”

Lin Da stopped and said: "Don't do this. Follow the orders of the uncle."

Lin Mingyu glanced at him approvingly, and when he looked at Mantou again, his expression became severe: "Mantou, how long have you been by my side? Haven't you understood the style of the Lin family? Do you think I should enter Jia's house? Generally relying on power to bully people?"

Mantou was startled, and hurriedly replied: "I, I'm worried about Master Jiu. There are so many people here, how long will it take for our carriage to pass slowly. It's my slip of the tongue, sir, don't blame me."

Even so, there was a trace of grievance on his face.

Lin Mingyu's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything.

Lin Yue smiled and said: "It's okay, there is still half an hour, enough for us to arrive at the scene calmly. Mantou, it's not that your uncle doesn't appreciate your favor. But think about it, what is the boundary of Kyoto? Who are the people who are congested today? Status? At the foot of the emperor, those who come to take the exam are the disciples of the emperor in the future. No matter whether it is a poor student or a famous son, no one can say who will be able to jump the dragon's gate in the future. Look at the behavior of Jia's mansion, what kind of people are around? Reaction. Don't you understand your uncle's caution?"

Mantou was ashamed, blushing and said: "I was wrong. Master, you punish me!"

Lin Mingyu turned his eyes to look at Lin Yue's warm and smiling eyes, and then turned back to look at the steamed bun, his expression softened a lot: "Since you know you made a mistake, go back and copy the family instructions ten times."

Mantou made a bitter face: "Master, are you really punishing me?"

Lin Mingyu turned his face away and ignored him.Seeing that there was no anger on his face, Mantou felt relieved, and looked at Lin Yue gratefully.Lin Er, who was walking beside him, burst out laughing, and was glared at by Mantou, making his smile even more hearty.

The two boys bickered all the way, and finally, the carriage stopped.

Watching Lin Yue enter the examination room, there were still many people outside.Lin Mingyu found a small shop to sit down, ordered a table to eat, and prepared to leave after the crowd dispersed.

This small shop is quite elegant, with exquisite decoration, and the price is very high. Lin Mingyu heard many diners who had the same intentions as him discussing that the store set the price unfairly.A cheerful man said loudly: "Little brother, come over and say, your store is very small, and it doesn't have a name. Why is it more expensive than a big restaurant like Deyilou? Could it be that your store has deceived us?"

The two young men were short. When they walked in front of the big man, they were a head shorter, but their expressions were neither humble nor overbearing, and they replied with a smile: "The guest officer misunderstood. Although our shop is small, the chefs who cook are all from famous buildings all over the world." Dim sum is the most exquisite and rare. Let’s talk about the secret roast duck you like. Look at the color, smell the fragrance, and taste the deliciousness. Isn’t it endless aftertaste? Our boss is the most elegant person, and our shop is full of talented people from all over the country, not to mention relatives and friends like you who send talented people to take exams. Look at the notice posted outside my shop , if you don’t want to spend money to eat delicious food, that’s fine too.”

"Really?" The impatient one interrupted Xiao Er's words.

The second elder brother nodded gently and said: "Seriously. Our boss is very good at arithmetic. If someone solves the difficult question he set up, naturally our shop will give away food and drink for free. If you come back in the future, you will be reduced by half."

Lin Mingyu also became interested when he heard it.The big man also smiled and said: "That's very good, little brother, just take me to have a look."

"Wait a minute." Xiaoer raised his voice and said with a smile: "Because our family is doing this unprofitable business, but the boys in the store still need to eat and drink, so the boss said that if you want to solve the problem, you need to come up with a solution." Ten copper coins to solve the problem once. If one problem is not successful, the person who solves the problem again needs to cast another ten copper coins. Please think about it, everyone, but ten copper coins can be exchanged for a feast of ten taels of silver, but it is still not worth it Worth it? Besides, just for such an elegant thing, even twenty copper coins, you must be willing."

The little second brother was full of praise and enthusiasm, and then saluted to everyone, and said to the big man: "Guest officer, are you still willing to give it a try?"

The big man is a bold man, his eyes widened when he heard the words, and he said in a rough voice: "Young brother is so contemptuous of people, ten copper coins are all it is, why don't I give it a try. Maybe you are the ones who suffer today! Mo If you want to be wordy, come up with the questions quickly."

Xiao Er smiled and praised a good word, then nimbly went outside the store door, took a long thin wooden board from the corridor, and put it on the big man's table.

Lin Mingyu's eyes were good, and he could see the topic above from a long distance.It is written that there are nine hundred and ninety-nine Wen coins today, and one thousand pears are bought in season.There are nine pears at eleven pennies, and seven fruits cost four pennies. How much is the pear fruit?

This is a linear equation problem in two variables. Lin Mingyu made a gesture in his mind and quickly came up with the answer, but the big man frowned and pondered.The onlookers were also completely silent, deep in thought.People who are not good at arithmetic, even watching the excitement, can also feel this focused atmosphere, and they all pay attention to the big man, waiting for his answer.

The younger brother was obviously used to this situation, so he silently brought up a pair of the Four Treasures of the Study, and sent it to the big man: "This question was solved by the master for a day, and the calculations are complicated, so I have specially prepared pen and ink. Take it."

The big man didn't lift his head, he picked up the pen and put it in his mouth to add a touch, and then calculated on the paper.

The food and wine served in this store are really delicious, Lin Mingyu slowly savored them while watching the progress ahead.Lin Dalin Er and Mantou were at his side, as lively as Lin Er and Mantou, they were already scratching their heads and muttering about the topic.On the other hand, Lin Da, always steady, couldn't help concentrating on it.

Lin Mingyu heard Mantou and Lin Er talking nonsense, obviously they couldn't understand arithmetic at all, then looked at Lin Da, and asked: "Ah Da, did you get something?"

Lin Da's father, Lin Heng, is in charge of everything in the Lin Mansion in Kyoto alone. His mother, Mrs. Lin, is also good at writing and counting. The way, can be considered a little side.Therefore, after listening to the topic, I became eager to win, and I couldn't help writing and drawing with my fingers in my palm.But nothing.

Hearing Lin Mingyu's words, Lin Da blushed slightly, shook his head and said, "Not at all."

Seeing Lin Mingyu's bright eyes and a smile at the corner of his mouth, his heart moved, and he said softly: "Is it okay, sir?"

Lin Mingyu hadn't had time to answer, only to hear boos from the big man's side.
