Lin Daiyu felt sorry for her younger brother, so she only let him eat before talking to him.

The snacks and food in the palace were all very delicate, there were only two siblings who were close relatives, therefore, Lin Mingyu ate this meal comfortably, even after eating two bowls, he was full.

Seeing her younger brother eating happily, Lin Daiyu felt happy in her heart.

After dinner, some court ladies came to clear the table, and another court lady brought good melon tea, Lin Daiyu took it personally, and made people go outside to play, but she poured a cup of white water for Lin Mingyu, said with a smile: "I know you don't like to drink Tea, and a glass of water."

Lin Mingyu always felt that drinking tea was not good for his spleen and stomach because of his child's body, so he didn't like tea very much.Lin Daiyu knew what was wrong with him, although she didn't understand what it meant, she always took it to heart.

Lin Mingyu laughed: "My sister still loves me."

Daiyu smiled, "You are my own younger brother, if you don't love me, which one do you love?" Thinking of Lin Mingyu's birthday approaching, she asked carefully how to prepare: "You look more and more like an adult, after your birthday, And study well, stay with daddy more often and accompany him as an old man, and don’t go far away anymore. You went to Fujian earlier, daddy and I miss you a lot. Now that I’m not with daddy, the family can only be entrusted to you.”

Lin Mingyu agreed: "Elder sister, why worry, I have already promised my father that in the past two years, I will only study hard at home, and let's talk about it after passing the exam."

"A family like ours doesn't necessarily have to have fame to have a future. It's just that my family is from a scholarly family, and my father and ninth brother are all candidates. The world's requirements for you are naturally very different. Don't think too much about these things in your heart. , do your best.”

Lin Mingyu pretended to be dissatisfied: "The people around said that I will definitely win, but why do you not believe your brother's ability if my sister just pours cold water on me?"

Daiyu gave him a coquettish look, with a loving look on her face: "Why don't I look forward to your future, I love you so much, I'm afraid you're overthinking it."

Lin Mingyu didn't understand, he was full of good words and coaxed Daiyu into a smile, and said: "My sister is leaving the palace on September [-]th, I will personally come and pick her up."

Lin Daiyu nodded, and after talking about the family affairs, she also talked about the situation in the palace, and she had to talk about how Yuan Chun tried every means to get close to her and win her over in the palace.Lin Mingyu said: "Sister, don't pay attention to her, just stay away from her. Everyone in the world knows that the flowers in Jia's mansion are in full bloom, but they don't know that it's a sign of burning oil. It's too late for us to avoid her. Let her tell the flowers." Come on, let's act as if we don't understand, as long as she doesn't stretch her hand beyond the boundary."

"I know it in my heart, you and Dad don't worry about me."

For a while, the siblings talked a lot, Lin Mingyu put the newly found strange book and Daiyu in order, and then went to the side hall to bid farewell to the princess.The princess had already rested, Aunt Yang exchanged a few words with Lin Mingyu, sent him outside the palace, and then turned around.

A few more days passed, and it was only two days away from Lin Mingyu's birthday, and gift slips were sent from Zhuangzi and shops everywhere.Even Lin Hai's old friends also follow the ceremony, even Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng and other places also follow the ceremony.Lin Mingyu accepted the presents softly, and was so happy to count the treasures in the warehouse every day, Lin Rui made a good joke.

Lin Mingyu still had some unreasonable reasoning: "I'll take it today, but I'll have to send it to someone tomorrow if I don't know. It's such a beautiful baby. If you can take a look at it, who can see that it's missing a piece?"

Just as Lin Hai listened, when he mentioned the training in the study, Lin Mingyu had a playful smile on his face, and finally rubbed his father so hard that he could only touch his forehead.Obviously, she has never been short of money since she was a child, so I don't know who this money-loving temperament resembles!Little did he know that Lin Mingyu was tender and old-hearted, seeing so many antiques in his storeroom, the value of which could not even be said in Chengdu, how could it be enough.

While talking, the porter came to report that someone from Fujian had arrived.Lin Mingyu was overjoyed, hurriedly changed her clothes and went to meet the guests.

Turning out of the moon gate of the flower hall, there is only a slender young man standing in the hall, wearing a sky blue straight dress, a cloth scarf on his head, and the hair on the back of his head is loose, looking up at a couplet in front of the hall with his back facing him.

Lin Mingyu felt familiar when he saw the person's figure, when the person turned around, he was overjoyed, hurried forward a few steps, took his hand, and said happily: "Zhaoqing, why did you come in person!"

Zhou Zhaoqing met the ceremony first, and sat down as guest and host with Lin Mingyu. Fang smiled and said, "It's my master's birthday, and the brothers from Haimeng all want to come and have a drink. It's just that there are too many people and things to do, so it's inconvenient to come from afar, and they have a strong local accent. It’s inconvenient to go out, so let me take the lead and congratulate you on behalf of everyone.”

His smile was as gentle and sincere as when he assisted Lin Mingyu in dealing with the Haimeng matters in Fujian that day. Lin Mingyu knew that he must have come to see her specially, so she felt this favor in her heart, and wondered, "Didn't Dalang come?" The two husbands and wives always go in and out at the same time, as if they were the same person, Wu Dalang usually looks at Zhaoqing like eyeballs, would he be willing to let him in alone?

Zhou Zhaoqing smiled a bit slyly: "He is very busy now, how can he get away, and he has paid me thousands of wrongs, so he let me out." There was a little complacency in his words.Zhou Zhaoqing is also a generous person, he doesn't shy away from others knowing his relationship with Wu Dalang, especially in front of Lin Mingyu.

Lin Mingyu guessed that Wu Dalang must be playing tricks on being attractive, and couldn't help feeling that it was really rare for these two people to get together and live a happy life together.

Zhou Zhaoqing took out some gift slips from his bosom, put them on the table, and pointed to them one by one with a smile: "This is for me and Da Lang to honor my master. It's a small thing, my master will keep it at will. General Tu entrusted me with this I brought it here and replaced it with Haoer, and let me tell you that there are still surprises to come." Zhou Zhaoqing smiled mysteriously, ignored Lin Mingyu's questioning eyes, and pointed to a thick gift list and said: "These are the gifts from Song Dynasty. Lao Lao and Huang Lao prepared on behalf of the Haimeng, and they couldn’t come, and they still expressed their regrets. Everyone always misses the boss.”

Lin Mingyu accepted the gift list, but did not open it, but felt warm in his heart. These people can be so caring, which shows that his hard work is not in vain, and his hard work will always be rewarded.

Since returning to the capital, Lin Mingyu has not neglected the Fujian Haimeng business. Zhou Zhaoqing has letters to report the work progress from time to time, even Song Lao and Huang Lao will come to inform them of happy or important events, or send some local products over .Every time Lin Mingyu got it, he would definitely prepare a gift in return. Now that you come and go, the relationship is not bad.

Those who came and went were as frequent as Zhou Zhaoqing, and there was also Tu Lingguang.Ever since the imperial court decided to take advantage of the opportunity to help Liangying, and gobble up Liangying's power, Tu Lingguang has been ten times busier than usual.The navy of the imperial court was led by General Ge Jidong, with Tu Lingguang as the vanguard, training day and night, silently, first seized a small island with a very dangerous strategic position that communicates with Dahong and Liangying.Tu Lingguang was stationed on the island, training troops while cooperating with Prince Liangying internally and externally to attack the influence of famous names in Liangying.On the other hand, they had to dress up as pirates, collude with daimyos, sell weapons, leather armors and other military supplies that Dahong had eliminated, take advantage of the fire and rob, and made a huge windfall.

Tu Lingguang was very busy, and he wrote letters sloppily. Most of the pages were full of hard work;It's just that there is no need to treat Lin Mingyu as an outsider in what he said, because good things have come to him, and Lin Mingyu has his share.It's just that Liangying is going to be in a mess, and the longer the mess, the better. Tu Lingguang's return date is far away.

After presenting the gift list, Zhou Zhaoqing re-reported the things that Lin Mingyu had explained before he left. The college established that day is now in good shape, and after a year or two, a batch of elite talents will be obtained.At that time, it was the time for Lin Mingyu to display his fists.

Lin Mingyu gave some important instructions, then smiled and said: "Zhaoqing must be tired after traveling all the way. I have already asked the mansion to prepare a place for you, so go rest first, and I have prepared a table for dinner. Ninth Brother, you know him, and he will be in office later, so invite him to come too. My father said that if he comes back early, we can meet him too."

Zhou Zhaoqing was startled, slightly agitated.Ever since he knew that Lin Mingyu was the son of Lin Tanhua, who was famous all over the world, Zhou Zhaoqing had a lot of ideas. As a scholar, Sanding Jia or something could win his favor, especially when Lin Hai was a young flirtatious young man who straddled the streets with outstanding literary talent. His demeanor is extraordinary, far overshadowing the limelight of being the number one scholar and the second place in the list.Nowadays, the upper thigh is really the imperial examination for reading in the world, and scholars who look forward to the goods and the emperor's family pursue the model.

"Okay, my boss, I'll take my leave first."

Zhou Zhaoqing followed the family leading the way back to the guest room full of energy, happy for a while, and thought of his own thoughts at the same time.Now that I and Dalang are getting more wings, it won't take long before I can understand the uneasy worry that hangs in my heart.After inquiring about the reputation and power of the Lin family in the capital, he once again firmly determined to follow Lin Mingyu.

That day when Lin Rui and Lin Hai were in the Yamen, Lin Mingyu introduced Zhou Zhaoqing, and after the meal, everyone had something to gain, and the host and guest had a good time.In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth of September, Lin Mingyu resigned from his father before the sky became clear, and headed towards the imperial palace together with Lin Rui.Lin Rui still had to sit in the office. Lin Hai worked overtime a few days ago to settle a new deal, so he was free for a few days. He happened to prepare for his son's birthday, so he waited at home.

When they arrived outside the palace gate, Lin Ruifang and Lin Mingyu gave a few instructions and entered the palace to stand in court.Seeing that it was still early, Lin Mingyu found a shop with steamed buns and sat down.Mantou is now working under Lin Cong, and has grown a lot. Although his personality is still out of character, he is calm and sensible after all.Now on the master's birthday, Mantou, who has served by his side since childhood, immediately returns to the master's side for use.

Mantou is only loyal to Lin Mingyu, knowing in his heart that he is not as promising as Lin Mingyu, and would rather follow Lin Cong to learn how to manage the shop and farm, and to help his master manage the property in the future is to do his best.Having said that, even returning to the master's side, I am still very excited.Responding loudly, he excitedly took a boy to find a shop to do something.
