The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Facing the plump and white mushrooms everywhere, Lin Mingyu's heart overflowed with joy.Unexpectedly, he just said that, the efficiency on the farm is so high, not only has it been cultivated, but it has been cultivated so successfully.

"Okay! It's better than I imagined. Guanshi Tian, ​​you bothered."

Tian Guanshi was also very happy, and said modestly with a smile on his face: "Master, I'm overwhelmed. These are all thanks to the people below, and I just supervised them so that nothing goes wrong. Of course, to achieve today's achievements, the idea put forward by the uncle is the key point." , the people below are all admiring, thinking about coming to see you, Grandpa."

The manager of the field is an honest and reliable person, otherwise Lin Mingyu would not have given him the full authority to handle the cultivation of mushrooms after inspecting the farm.He also lived up to expectations, and showed his due capacity, which made Lin Mingyu very satisfied.

"I also want to meet them. You can arrange it. Let's eat with them for lunch. I just make the mushrooms, so let's try it together." Lin Mingyu thought about the oyster mushrooms and cultivated them in this way. I also know more types of mushrooms. If they can be cultivated in large quantities one by one, it will be a way to make a fortune.

Tian Guanshi wanted him to teach the vegetable farmers under him some difficult points, so he immediately arranged it.

Accompanied by him, Lin Mingyu went around the vegetable garden again and learned about the farm's situation. The smile on his lips never faded away.

The tenants watched the young young master wandering around, and showed a certain interest in farming. Those who were bold enough came over to watch curiously.Lin Mingyu didn't think it was annoying, and smiled at them kindly, and occasionally said a few polite words to take advantage of his appearance, and the sincerity and peace in his words and deeds won praises from everyone.

After asking Lin Mingyu for instructions, this mushroom was officially named Pleurotus ostreatus.Lin Mingyu's suggestions on the way to eat oyster mushrooms were also regarded as classics by Tian Guanshi and others.After the cook brought up all kinds of oyster mushroom dishes according to his method, after everyone tasted them, they all started to gobble them up like hungry wolves.

Steward Tian picked up the last chopsticks of oyster mushrooms under the staring eyes of the mantou, sighed happily, and said to Lin Mingyu in admiration: "The method that the master said is really wonderful. I have grown up so much, and I have never eaten such a mushroom." Delicious mushrooms are almost as expensive as abalone wing belly."

Lin Mingyu burst out laughing.Although Tian Guanshi said exaggeratedly, in this era, the variety of food is far from as rich as in his previous life.Foods such as fungi are generally picked wild, and there are not many types.Because of this, when Lin Mingyu accidentally obtained oyster mushrooms, she thought of cultivating them artificially.

Mushrooms are rich in nutrition, if they are introduced to the nobles, then...

It wasn't just Tian Guan who was so emotional, but all the vegetable farmers in the farm who had become less restrained after talking with Lin Mingyu also echoed, saying that oyster mushrooms are delicious, and it is a great enjoyment to eat them in the way Lin Mingyu explained.These vegetable growers are all very experienced in growing vegetables and have the spirit of research. Lin Mingyu has already told them that he wants to cultivate other types of mushrooms, and promised to give the vegetable growers a reward for every successful cultivation of a mushroom. A sum of money as a reward.

For today's oyster mushrooms, Lin Mingyu has already given out 100 taels of silver on the spot, and each of the dozen or so vegetable farmers can get five or six taels of silver, which is much more than their income from a month's labor. Mouth.Of course, as the manager of the farm, the manager of the field can only get more money.

Through such measures, Lin Mingyu's image of a generous young master has been deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone in the farm, and the things he ordered can be carried out in the most efficient way.

After explaining the follow-up management matters of the farm to the steward Tian, ​​Lin Mingyu returned to the Lin residence.Now he is the only serious master in the mansion, once he leaves, the mansion will be clean.Lin Mingyu was writing unfinished fairy tales in the study, sitting at his desk for two hours.Although the fairy tales in the head are definitely enough to make up a dictionary-thick Grimm's fairy tales, the writing tools of this era are still terrible.

Lin Mingyu worked hard like this for a few days, until the end of the Chunwei exam, she could barely write a dozen or so stories, but these a dozen or so stories were enough to win over Tu Ling'er.

The meaning of Chunwei to the disciples is to leap into the dragon's gate, and one day they will finally be able to stand out.But before this leap, whether you can safely embark on the road to Qingyun depends not only on the strength and luck of writing, but the most basic thing is Juzi's physical strength.

Chunwei destroys people!When Lin Mingyu was among the crowd welcoming the examinees out of the examination room, seeing the terrified and even the literati who were staggering and being helped out, she couldn't help expressing such emotion!

Among the tired and relaxed candidates, Lin Mingyu's eyes were piercing, and he saw Lin Rui who had just walked out of the entrance of the examination room at a glance.He was dressed in white, and his face was slightly tired, but when he saw himself, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face, like spring water breaking through the ice, bringing a sense of warmth.

Lin Rui strode over, looked up and down at Lin Mingyu first, and then said with a bit of blame: "Just let Xiaotou pick me up, it's not worth waiting here in person."

Lin Mingyu smiled, stepped forward and took his hand, looked it over, and said: "Ninth brother Chunwei is a big deal in the family, I heard that Chunwei's conditions are very bad, and many candidates will be seriously ill after passing this exam One, don’t come here to see what’s at ease. Just think of me as accumulating experience for your own imperial examinations in the future.”

After joking, Lin Mingyu led him into the carriage: "I asked Uncle Heng to prepare ginger soup, you drink some to dissipate the cold and boost your spirits."

Lin Rui drank a bowl and felt much more refreshed.In the examination room, he couldn't eat well or sleep well. Sitting in the warm carriage, beside Lin Mingyu who was as clean as crystal, Lin Rui felt that his body stinks.He pulled his sleeves and sniffed twice, and couldn't help showing some wry smiles.

Lin Mingyu laughed loudly: "What does Ninth Brother care about in front of me? The mansion has prepared hot soup. After you go back, don't think about anything. First, take a good bath and sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, you will be refreshed." .”

"Brother Lao Ming is here." Lin Rui also laughed.

After returning home, Lin Rui went to take care of it by himself, but Lin Mingyu sorted out the story manuscripts in the study, packed them in a beautiful wooden box, and prepared to give them to Tu Ling'er in the palace tomorrow.

Besides, Rongguo Mansion is also very lively today.Jia's mother gave birth to two sons, the eldest son took over the title, and the second son was appointed an official. The two brothers have their own futures, and they don't need to worry about Jia's house. I don't know how lucky they are to be in an ordinary family.But the Jia Mansion is not an ordinary family after all.

The ancestors of the Jia family were heroes for the founding of the country. They started their careers with military exploits, and were granted the title of prince by the emperor.But when it was passed on to future generations, none of them could inherit the mantle without falling into the prestige.When the Taizu of the dynasty founded the country with martial arts, to put it nicely, it was to overthrow the tyranny of the previous dynasty and create Qingming politics.

Taizu was very self-aware in his heart, so he was also very afraid of generals.For example, the four kings and eight princes were all heroes in the founding of the country. Although they were conferred titles, they actually emptied their rights and only had an honorary title.For military generals to suppress, correspondingly, it is to vigorously improve the status of civil servants.

This is also the reason why the Jia family wants to abandon martial arts and follow literature.Needless to say, Jia Zheng took the imperial examinations again and again when he was young, but he was pedantic and his writing was not very good, so he tried and failed repeatedly.It was hard to hope for an eldest son who was talented in reading, but due to various reasons, Jia Zhu died young.Under Jia's amnesty, however, the eldest son did not have a son who surpassed Jia Zhu. With such a withered family business, Jia's mother and others saw it, and they could only sigh with regret.

Jia Zheng looked like he didn't care about world affairs and only liked to talk, but in fact he was very shameless and strong in his heart. If he was so knowledgeable about books and etiquette and indifferent to fame and wealth, he wouldn't be able to occupy the magpie's nest and rest calmly in Rongxi Hall.Because of this, all his hopes for the revival of the Jia family were placed on Jia Baoyu, the son-in-law.Don't mention the torture of Jia Baoyu, let Jia Baoyu see him like avoiding a cat and a mouse.

Jia's mother and Jia Zheng's mother and son were of one mind, but she loved Jia Baoyu more, because he was young and did not persecute him tightly.Besides, she had already thought of a clear path for Jia Baoyu, which was the Lin family.

Not to mention how scheming Jia's mother is, today's excitement is not because of Jia Baoyu.It was Jia Rong in Ningfu who managed to get out of Chunwei.There are no imperial examination seedlings in Jia Mu's direct line, but she still has some contacts on hand.After the operation of Ningrong and Rongfu, this time in Chunwei, Jia's Mansion successfully sent Jia Rong and Jia Qiang into the examination room.

Everyone in Jia's mansion knew well that Jia Rong and Jia Qiang must be on the list on the day the list is revealed after passing this clear path.Therefore, as soon as Jia Rong and others left the tribute courtyard, they were taken by Jia Zhen and others, and the people who came across the house to announce the good news came.

On such a happy day, Jia Baoyu finally had a free time, so he didn't have to spend the days of being closely watched by Jia Zheng.

As soon as Jia Baoyu got the news that the ban had been lifted, Jia Baoyu went to the backyard first, lingered in front of Jia Mu for a while, then went back to his room and let the maids wait on and change clothes.

Xiren and other servant girls didn't get close to Jia Baoyu for half a month, and now they are very happy to see him back, and they are busy around him.Leaning against the red and nestling in the emerald green, Jia Baoyu sighed deeply, this is the life he wants!

After all the girls, big and small, were assigned to work, Xiren and Qingwen had time to have a good talk with Jia Baoyu.

Xiren found out for Jia Baoyu a bright red brocade robe that he loved to wear on weekdays. Qingwen helped him change, holding the clothes while looking him up and down, and said distressedly: "Baoyu, look, how much weight you have lost?" Mingyan and those boys are used to stealing, raping and playing tricks. How many times have they promised to take good care of you in front of me and Xiren? It can be seen that you have trusted him in vain! You are too soft-tempered. Let's see how frivolous they become. In front of me, I have already peeled off their skins!"

While enjoying her service, Jia Baoyu squeezed her soft white hands, and said with a soft smile, "You blame them for what they do, even if those people treat me with a hundred more intentions, I wouldn't care too much. If you , Xiren, they are happy to be by my side, even if I let me do things by myself. Stop busy, sit down and have a good talk with me. I haven’t talked with you for half a month, I’m so bored.”

Qingwen raised her eyebrows and looked at him with the whites of her eyes: "Hmph, you don't have to coax me with these good words. I'm not your sister Lin and Bao. How can we have a nail in the house? You It's better to enter the palace quickly and find them."

Having said that, the hand pinched by Jia Baoyu didn't pull out, but turned around and sulked.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly coaxed: "It's very good, how do you say it to Sister Lin and Sister Bao. Don't you know how I treat you all day? I miss you every day these days, and now I finally came out. You You still have to fight against me, and you still blame me, so I have nothing to say!"

Qingwen is very useful for Jia Baoyu's attention to herself, but Baodai Ershu had taken too much weight in Jia Baoyu's eyes before, so she neglected the girls around her. .

Jia Baoyu coaxed her well, and the two quietly held hands and said some sweet words.Xiren came in from outside the curtain, saw the situation of the two of them, frowned slightly, then smiled again, and said softly: "You girl, when Baoyu is around, you don't have a quiet time. This time I finally know how to be considerate, so it’s not good to speak in a gentle way?"

Being teased by Xiren, Qingwen blushed, but she snorted softly, withdrew her hand, looked at Xiren with a smile, and threw the curtain out.

Jia Baoyu was confused and asked, "What's wrong with Qingwen?"

"Who knows, maybe it's because the spring is full of humidity, and I'm just bored." Xiren glanced at the direction she was going out, replied indifferently, and smiled at Jia Baoyu: "If you can come out today, why not?" I don't know how tomorrow is going to be. You should take a good rest. I let the kitchen make your favorite pastry. Although the yard of the master is good, after all, there is no personal girl to serve you. No matter how caring the boys are, there is no limit. You Eat it while it's hot."

Jia Baoyu held Xi Ren's hand again, and said emotionally, "Xi Ren is the one who loves me the most."

Xiren blushed, and spat: "What nonsense, why do you feel distressed? I'm just doing my duty as a girl. As for those who feel distressed, after you marry grandma, there must be someone who loves you."

Jia Baoyu rubbed his head, always felt that Xiren Qingwen's speech was different from before when she came back this time, as if there were words in her words.Looking at Xiren again, he was still as understanding as usual, Jia Baoyu was suspicious for a while, and then put this issue behind him.

When Jia Rong and the others arrived, Jia Baoyu couldn't stay in his room, so after changing his clothes and confiding his heart to the maid, Jia Baoyu tidied up and went to the front yard to entertain his brothers and nephews.

After meeting Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others, Jia Baoyu's eyes lit up, and saw Qin Zhong appearing in front of him in a light emerald robe.

"Baoyu." Qin Zhong shouted in surprise.

Jia Baoyu also had a happy expression on his face. He had always had a good impression of Qin Zhong. Before Jia Mu, he proposed to let Qin Zhong study in the ethnology with him. It was a pity that Qin Keqing was not in good health at that time, and Jia Rong was afraid of Qin Keqing. Feeling lonely, he asked Qin Zhong to accompany his sister, so Jia Baoyu's invitation was unsuccessful.

When studying beside Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu also mentioned Qin Zhong, who wanted to find a companion for himself.Unexpectedly, Jia Rong had no objection, and Jia Zheng disagreed again.In Jia Zheng's mind, Qin Zhong's status cannot be compared with that of his own son, especially since this is the critical period for Jia Baoyu to enter the palace.

Due to various obstructions, Jia Baoyu was always forbidden to get close to Qin Zhong, but for some reason, seeing Qin Zhong, he felt more intimate.

Qin Zhong also seemed extraordinarily affectionate, pulling him and talking non-stop.The two exchanged what happened to each other for a while, then Qin Zhong said: "Baoyu, you have engraved your skills in writing during this period of time, I am afraid that you will enter the palace tomorrow, and by that time, there will be fewer days to see each other."

Jia Baoyu also felt deeply regretful: "If I had known this before, I would not have said that I would enter the palace. Jingqing, you don't know, my reading of this book is really boring. I just thought that if I really entered the palace that day , and being able to have fun with brother Ming is also a good thing out of all the bad things."

Qin Zhong gasped in surprise, and said, "Don't you know, Brother Ming doesn't want to enter the palace."

Jia Baoyu was taken aback: "But no one recommends you? I'll go ask the old lady right now. There is a big sister in the palace to help me. Brother Ming really doesn't need to worry too much."

Qin Zhong smiled and said: "It seems that you really don't know. I just met Brother Ming a while ago, and he said that he wants to go back to his father to fulfill his filial piety, and he doesn't want to enter the palace."

Jia Baoyu was speechless for a long time, before saying: "What about Sister Lin? Brother Ming has returned to Yangzhou, and Sister Lin is alone in the capital, isn't it pitiful. Besides, why is Brother Ming unwilling to enter the palace? I heard from my wife that he always enters the palace these days and has also met some noble people."

Qin Zhong's eyes flashed, and he said: "In my opinion, Brother Ming felt that he had no foundation in the capital, and he was afraid of causing trouble to your mansion, so he was embarrassed to say so. Now Yizhong Wangfu, Zhongshun Wangfu, Changping Wangfu And several county princes need to read it with me. I heard that the princess of Zhongshun Palace is from Yangzhou. If Brother Ming can be favored by Zhongshun Palace, then he can stay in the capital. In the future, we will come and go, Isn't it cheap?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have the ability. Hey, I can only talk." After Qin Zhong finished speaking, he changed the subject, but Jia Baoyu listened to him and made a decision.

At this time, Lin Mingyu was talking to Lin Rui in her mansion, and she didn't know that her plan would be disrupted again.
