[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child

Lu Sui's worry is still very reasonable. Because He Nian has been writing novels, he has also figured out his own writing system. The stories he writes are more immersive than those at the beginning, and it is easier to mobilize readers' enthusiasm. emotion.

This has also led to the fact that readers of the story of the Year of the Crane are very easy to bring themselves into the protagonist, and feel sad or happy with the protagonist's sorrows and joys.

If it is an ordinary person, if you read He Nian's storybook, and encounter the tragic plot of the protagonist, it is fine to cry once, but Jia Min and Dai Yu are both emotional and sensitive people. a storybook...

What's more, Daiyu had to prepare for Enke after the battle, so He Nian was very sensible, and after returning home, he just gave Jia Min to read the script first, instead of giving it to Daiyu.

After all, Jia Min is getting older and has more experience. After all, he can bear more emotions than Daiyu.

But even Jia Min, after reading He Nian's storybook, cried for a long time, and was not in a good mood for several days afterwards, always unconsciously thinking of the tragic fate of the two girls.

Jia Min has been at the top of the world since she was born. Although there are still many unsatisfactory things in life, she has also been treated unfairly because of her status as a woman. Enough of the gossip.

But compared with the two girls, she is still very lucky.

Because she had parents who loved her very much before she got married, and she was in harmony with Lin Ruhai after she got married, and neither her parents nor Lin Ruhai were such pedantic people...

Jia Min instantly understood why Lin Liu was obsessed with being the emperor.

Because only having rights can change the fate of these untreated girls.The lives that have passed away in the long river of time cannot be saved, but there are still many girls who are still struggling to survive, waiting to be rescued.

Even if Jia Min supported Lin Liu as emperor before, it was only out of love for her daughter, but she didn't understand the reason, so even if she persuaded Lin Ruhai, it was not so convincing.

But now after reading the two stories, Jia Min understands the key points, and when he finds Lin Ruhai again, his words will be much more convincing.

She looked at Lin Ruhai and smiled: "After reading the two story books, I always feel that compared to other women, I have very good luck. I can't imagine that if I fell into the situation of the protagonist in the story, Will you feel hopeless?"

"I also thought of my two daughters. If the little Qilin hadn't been enthroned, she would probably be married by now? Daiyu should also look at the marriage. But before the two of them came out of the cabinet, they were raised by us with so much love and affection. , After they get married, everyone thinks that they are no longer members of our Lin family. It is impossible for us to know everything about what will happen to them in their husband's family. If they are not careful, they may..."

Jia Min's eyes turned red again when she thought of this, "When a woman gets married, it's like being reincarnated for the second time, but whether the reincarnation is good or not is entirely a matter of luck. It depends on the character of everyone in the husband's family."

Lin Ruhai undoubtedly likes Jia Min and loves her two daughters. After hearing Jia Min's words, he followed her words and thought about it. He felt angry and almost wanted to kill Ji Song and the one who was not at all. Daiyu's fiancé, who knew where she was staying, grabbed her and beat her up.

But after calming down, Lin Ruhai immediately realized the key point: "Madam didn't have such deep thoughts before, why has there been such a big change today?"

Jia Min wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and then embarrassedly took out two scripts and handed them to Lin Ruhai: "Here, these are the two scripts that He Nian just wrote. Please ask me for the poems you need. I only figured out these things after I read the scriptures."

Before reading the script, she had a pretty good impression of the Chastity Archway.

Moreover, because the chastity archway is too tall and conspicuous, and some families have several chastity archways, if it is really according to the previous rules, the chastity archway is built at the intersection where passers-by can see it at a glance, it seems too cramped and crowded;

And a large part of the chastity archway still carries human life. If there are several standing at the intersection, it will be too gloomy.

Therefore, in big cities like the capital, real chastity archways are actually rare. Most of them are just at the door of people who have been commended at home, hang a symbolic wooden sign, and then the government will bestow a wooden chastity stamped with a seal. It is enough to put the archway in the ancestral hall.

Therefore, although Jia Min has heard a lot about the deeds of "chaste and martyred women", he has never seen the chastity archway except when he went to Jiangnan.

Because I haven't seen it, I don't feel deeply.

But now thinking of the chastity archways, she seemed to see the tombstones, with fresh human lives behind them.

When Lin Ruhai learned that all of Jia Min's changes were due to two scripts, he immediately picked them up and started to read them.

He reads very fast, and he has a calm personality. It stands to reason that it is difficult to empathize with the protagonist of the story.

But because Jia Min mentioned himself and his two daughters before, Lin Ruhai unconsciously took the protagonist of the book as his daughter when he was reading, and then...

Lin Ruhai's eyes were slightly red, and he let out a long sigh: "I used to pay little attention to this aspect, and I never thought about changing this situation. When my daughter said that she wanted to make chastity archways in the whole country disappear, I In fact, I still don’t understand it. Looking at it now, it’s true that I blindfolded myself and didn’t open my eyes to see the misery that happened in the corner, so I gave birth to such arrogance and incomprehension.”

Jia Min looked up at Lin Ruhai: "Ruhai, you..."

Lin Ruhai shook his head with a smile: "After reading the story book, madam should already have some inspiration and write a lot of poems, right? Can you show it to my husband?"

In the first two years of their marriage, they had no troubles, so their days were relaxed and comfortable. The husband and wife had a romantic relationship every day, reciting poems and opposing each other. It was almost a daily thing to write poems and hand them over to each other for evaluation.

Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Min was not shy, and asked someone to fetch a stack of poems and put them in Lin Ruhai's hands: "Because I have too many feelings, I wrote like a master at the moment, and I wrote a little too much. Since you are free today, I will help you." Then I pick out some and burn the rest."

Lin Ruhai nodded: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely appreciate it with my heart."

Sitting together, the husband and wife commented on the poems written by Jia Min. One said that the poem was too sad and inappropriate;

In less than half an hour, the two selected more than twenty suitable poems.

Lin Ruhai accepted it together, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will give this storybook to that boy Ji Song to read, and let him know that it is not easy for women to survive, and let him treat the little Qilin better."

Jia Min was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "It should be so. Only Brother Song will be kind to little Qilin from the bottom of his heart if he knows how difficult it is for women."

The two talked and laughed, but it was rare for Jia Min to have a good night's sleep.

Lin Ruhai asked people to insert the poems into the storybook overnight, and after the servants copied them, he handed over the original and the manuscript to Lu Sui for typesetting and printing.

He himself brought the scriptures to the court, and handed them directly to Ji Song after the next court.

Ji Song was stunned: "Uncle, this is..."

Lin Ruhai smiled maliciously: "This is the newest work of the Year of the Crane. Take it back and have a look, and tell me your opinion after reading it. If there is something wrong, I can also ask the Year of the Crane to revise it in time."

Ji Song seemed to have returned to the Lin family when he was young, and was taught by Lin Ruhai himself. Every time before class, he randomly checked the situation of the previous day's recitation, he subconsciously straightened his back after listening to Lin Ruhai's words, and nodded solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry, this junior will definitely read it carefully when he returns home, and he will never be careless."

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It's just paying back the capital, you don't have to be so serious, I just ask you what you think after reading it, and I won't eat you."

Ji Song immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but still nodded seriously: "Your junior must read carefully after returning home."

After all, it is my future father-in-law who arranges the task, and the author of the script is my future brother-in-law, so I can't tolerate him not taking it seriously.

Lin Ruhai shook his head with a smile, but didn't say anything else.

On the second day, seeing Ji Song walking towards him with reddish eyes, Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction——

If Ji Song is not moved at all after reading the two scripts, he should doubt Ji Song's sincerity towards the little Qilin and his character.

The future Weng and his son-in-law had a good time talking about the two scriptures. After Lu Sui got the scriptures and poem manuscripts, they also handed them over to the newly opened book shop and printing workshop without stopping, so that people could write them as soon as possible. The scriptures were printed.

After making arrangements, Lu Sui returned home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the gate of Lin's house, Dai Yu blocked the door: "Brother Lu Sui, it is said that Brother He Nian has written two scripts, why don't you show them to me?"

Lu Sui was taken aback for a moment: "Who told you that He Nian wrote two scripts?"

Daiyu looked at him angrily: "I went to look for Brother He Nian, he told me."

Lu Sui: "..."

He wished he could beat up that bastard He Nian, but he still coaxed Daiyu softly, "Aren't you going to take the imperial examination in a few days? Although you are good at reciting poems, but I haven't studied policy theory much before, and now that the exam is coming up, it's better to focus on reviewing."

Daiyu frowned: "But I showed my father to read the policy theory, and my father said that the ranking may not be high, but Jinshi is sure to win."

Compared with so many scholars in the country, the other party has been working hard for the imperial examination since the beginning of enlightenment. Even if Daiyu thinks she is talented, she will never think that she can win the first prize by relying on a few months of surprise .

As long as she can pass the Jinshi examination, she is already better than most talented scholars.

In Daiyu's view, this achievement is completely enough.

Lu Sui obviously knew what Daiyu was thinking, but...

"The book this time is a little different from the past. It is about the stories of the owners of the chastity archway, which are basically adapted from real stories." He glanced at Daiyu and explained earnestly, "Because the protagonist is too miserable, I am worried that you will read it." The storybook will affect the subsequent exams, so we all agreed that you should not be allowed to see the storybook before Enke."

After Lu Sui finished speaking, he cursed in his heart, all of them were black-hearted, and he didn't want to be a villain, so he let him do it.

I don't know if Daiyu will blame him.

Daiyu glanced at Lu Sui and snorted, "Brother Lu Sui looks down on me?"

Lu Sui shook his head: "That's not the case. It's just that after my mother read it, she couldn't recover for several days. You are more sensitive than my mother. If you read it, you might not be able to recover from it for ten days and a half months. Isn't that true?" Is it less than half a month since Enke starts? Be good, sister, if you want to read the script, wait until Enke ends, okay?"

Daiyu frowned, and nodded helplessly: "Okay."

Although she agreed, Daiyu was a little unhappy after all, so she ignored Lu Sui for two full days. It was not until Lu Sui was about to leave the capital to return to the south of the Yangtze River that Daiyu came out to look for him with a gift.

Lu Sui breathed a sigh of relief, and happily saved an extra copy of the book that was just printed by the book shop and put it in Jia Min's place: "When you finish the Enke exam, go directly to your mother."

Daiyu nodded with a smile.

The next day, Lu Sui entered the palace again.

When he just came back, he entered the palace with He Nian and met Lin Liu, but at that time it was just the three of them reminiscing about the past, and it took more than an hour to talk about their experiences over the years, Lu Sui and He Nian were worried about disturbing After leaving Lin Liu, he bid farewell and left.

This time when Lu Sui was leaving, he naturally had to enter the palace to bid farewell to Lin Liu.

Seeing Lu Sui, Lin Liu felt a little guilty: "You have only been in the capital for a few days, and you are going back to the south of the Yangtze River again, and you don't get along well with your family."

Lu Sui laughed loudly: "When people grow up, they want to leave the shelter of their parents to do what they want to do. I like doing business, and Jiangnan is more suitable for doing business. Of course I want to go to Jiangnan."

Lin Liu looked at Lu Sui's smiling face and saw that he was not reluctant, so he felt relieved: "Although it is indeed more convenient to do business in Jiangnan, if you have another chance, you should move your business to the capital. After all, the capital is the biggest city. Goods from all over the country will gather here; secondly, except for Guiling, his family members are here, and after another two years, Guiling should return to the capital."

"And when Enke Jinshi comes out, I will have stronger control over the court than before, and you don't have to stay in Jiangnan forever."

Not only Guiling and Lusui, but even Zhao Shishi, she wanted to recall the capital.

Lu Sui was startled, hesitated for a long time, and then sighed: "Isn't this inconvenient transportation? It takes at least two months to get from Jiangnan to the capital. If the business headquarters is moved to the capital, the business in Jiangnan will inevitably be abandoned."

Lin Liu was taken aback for a moment, and rubbed the space between her brows angrily: "Why did I forget this..."

Lu Sui looked at Lin Liu suspiciously: "Sister?"

Lin Liu waved at Lu Sui, picked up a pen, wrote down a formula on a piece of paper, and handed it to him: "This is the formula for cement. Except for the difficulty of calcining limestone, the other steps are very easy, and obtaining raw materials is also very simple. .This thing is in the form of powder at the beginning, after adding water, stir it evenly, and after cooling and solidifying, it will be as hard as a stone."

"Cement is most suitable for building houses and roads. I originally planned to spend two years, and when the national treasury is full, I will directly manufacture cement in the name of the court to build roads. But if you need it now, I will first hand over the cement for you."

After talking about the cement, she mentioned the horse-drawn carriage that is used in foreign countries today, "The speed of the carriage is also faster than ordinary carriages, almost comparable to the speed of riding a horse alone. The only problem is that because the track material is wooden made, very easily damaged."

After thinking about it seriously, Lu Sui nodded: "If the cement is really like what my sister said, it will become as hard as a stone after adding water to cool it, then you can indeed use cement to build roads. The rail carriage you mentioned can also be used Go, after all, horses run faster on flat roads than on rough trails."

He said with a smile, "There is no businessman in this world who doesn't want the country's transportation to extend in all directions, and it's best to be able to travel the whole country in one day. The cement sister doesn't have to give it to me for free. I will pay a sum of money. I bought the cement formula from the imperial court, and after I use the cement to open up the road between Jiangnan and the capital, the money can be recovered from those merchants."

"When businessmen from other places see it, they will definitely find a way to ask my brother about the formula and origin of the cement. At that time, I will only say that I bought it from the Ministry of Households. As long as they are interested, they will naturally be willing to exchange it for silver."

Although the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot do business directly, there are always more solutions than difficulties. As long as you change hands, these are not problems.

"When these businessmen spend their own money to buy the cement formula and repair the main roads all over the country, the imperial court will use the money that the big businessmen bought the formula to repair some unimportant small roads, and it will not cost a lot of money."

Lin Liu blinked, and looked at Lu Sui suspiciously: "This is indeed a very good idea, but what method are you going to use to get back the money you bought the formula from other merchants?"

Lu Sui looked at Lin Liu, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Sister, do you want to..."

Lin Liu smiled and nodded: "You are my younger brother, of course I don't have much idea if you want to use cement for profit. But if you do, other businessmen will follow suit, and the court will lose a lot of money. "

Lu Sui laughed loudly: "I just thought, after the road is repaired, I will directly collect tolls from those merchants."

Lin Liu immediately discovered the danger of letting the merchant build the road by himself: "According to what you said, once the merchant buys the formula and repairs the road, the ownership of the road becomes the merchant? They can charge the common people and merchants, and naturally they can To charge the imperial court, even..."

Lin Liu frowned. Although the merchants were not brave enough to charge the imperial court, they did have this hidden danger.If something urgent happened, the imperial court had to go on the road built by the merchants, and they could delay a lot of time if they made a little stumbling block.

She clicked her tongue, "It seems that I can't hand over the cement to you."

After hearing Lin Liu's words, Lu Sui instantly understood what he had to say, and then began to think about how to avoid this hidden danger.

but……

The two siblings raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other: "The road must be repaired by the court."

Only when the imperial court builds roads, the ownership of the roads belongs to the imperial court, not a certain merchant.

But the imperial court didn’t have that much money——

When the Supreme Emperor abdicated in the previous dynasty, the treasury was so empty that even mice would not enter it.Later, when the first emperor came to power, he saved a lot of money by raiding his home, but it was still a drop in the bucket for the operation of the entire country.

What's more, there was a battle before, and the military salary of the border soldiers was absolutely indispensable.

Lu Sui smiled and said, "The merchant still needs to pay."

Because in this world, there is no one who hopes to shorten the time to transport goods by building roads more than businessmen.

Those businessmen also have money, and the money for road construction is just a drop in the bucket for them.

After all, the raw materials of cement are really cheap.

Lin Liu immediately remembered that at the intersection of the road in front of his hometown in his previous life, there was a stone tablet, and the name of the donor was engraved on the tablet.

A businessman has money but no power or name.

Now that the imperial court was first established, it is natural that they dare not exchange official positions with businessmen. Even if they are insignificant and inconspicuous officials, the number of them is large, and they can affect the major affairs of the imperial court at the beginning of the founding of the country.

So just give them a name.

When Lin Liu proposed the method of erecting a monument, Lu Sui only thought about it for a while, and immediately praised: "This method is good. How much money do those businessmen donate to temples and Taoist temples every year for charity? Isn't the picture just a picture?" Famous? If they just donate money to build roads, they can make themselves famous in ten miles and eight villages, and they will definitely be willing."

After all, building roads is more beneficial to them.

Lu Sui thought for a while and smiled, "Actually, they can pay another sum of money."

Lin Liu was stunned: "How else can I pay?"

Lu Sui laughed: "Name it. If they can give a sum of money equal to the road construction, they can name the road they built, even if he chooses that road as his own name, or his family's name." , everything is fine."

Lin Liu's eyes lit up: "It's possible!"

The two discussed for a while, and Jin Qiu came in and passed the message, saying that Lin Ruhai and Ji Song were asking to see each other.

Lin Liu was worried that there would be loopholes in the method discussed by their two siblings. Hearing that the two came, he hurriedly asked them to come in, and then told them all about the cement road and the construction of the track on the side of the cement road. two people.

The two of them entered the palace originally for the sake of the script——

A few days later, Ji Song finally took the time to finish reading the two scripts, and wrote an emotional "feeling after reading".

After the two discussed it, Lin Ruhai himself wrote a "feelings after reading" that was more eloquent and rational.The two of them entered the palace to discuss with Lin Liu, and decided to use their own names to submit two articles to Lu Sui's book shop, and then publish them in the newspaper.

Even in ancient times, celebrity effects existed.

What's more, one of the two is the chief assistant of the court and the adoptive father of the emperor; the other is a general in the court and the fiancé of the emperor.To some extent, the two also represent the emperor.

If both of them wrote articles for the two vernacular books, more people would naturally buy the vernacular books and read the newspapers.

However, before the road construction, this matter can only be temporarily retreated.

After all, the scriptures are related to the interests of women, and road construction is related to the interests of everyone in the country.

The two joined the Linliu siblings, checked for omissions and made up for vacancies, and quickly finalized the road construction regulations——

Several people agreed that the method of selling cement formula was unreliable, and the imperial court still had to build a department specializing in the production of cement, and then set up cement factories all over the country to sell cement to everyone.

But before that, the imperial court also needs to build a road to make a sample, so that others can know what the cement road looks like, whether it is used or not, and whether it can really shorten the travel time.

But in the end, Lu Sui directly took out a lot of money: "This road does not need to be repaired by the court. It is better to be 'donated' by the merchants as we discussed. Don't forget, I am also a member of the merchants, and I will pay for the repairs." Road, it’s nothing more than normal.”

The other three looked at Lu Sui, a little worried.

The road from Beijing to Gusu is very long, even if the cement is worthless, to build such a long road requires a huge amount of money.

Lu Sui glanced at the three of them, and said with a smile: "You forget that I have opened 'Lin Shen Jian Lu' shops all over the country? Not to mention the cloth sold to those sea merchants and foreigners, it's just sales from all over the country. It’s a huge sum of money. Even if I don’t do anything now, I just lie on the bed and count the money, and I can count until I am seventy or eighty.”

The most important thing is that Lu Sui's biggest hobby is making money, and his secondary hobby is just watching those literati quarreling and exposing each other's cruelty in their newspapers, making countless money, but not much at all. The expenses, saved over the years, are just to build a road, and to him, it is nothing more than sprinkling water.

Lin Ruhai clenched his fists. For a moment, he suddenly wanted to drag Lu Sui outside the palace and beat him up.

Ji Song also gritted his teeth, thinking that Lu Sui's brother-in-law was too hateful.

Is it amazing to be rich?

Lu Sui smiled: Yes, it is very remarkable.

You see now, he can easily spend the money to build a 200 million-meter-long road, while the other two people can only look at him with envy and hatred.

Lu Sui chuckled, as if he couldn't see the eyes of his father and future brother-in-law.

Lin Liu laughed helplessly, and didn't say much after all.

After talking about the cement matter, Lin Ruhai and Ji Song mentioned writing poems and essays for He Nian's two story books.

Lin Liu frowned after hearing this: "If you just praise blindly, I'm afraid it won't attract too much attention for a long time."

When Lu Sui heard it, he immediately waved his hands: "What's the matter, it's the same as before, let people write a few articles that are completely opposite to their father's, just start arguing."

Lin Liu thought for a while: "First of all, you must find someone whose reputation is comparable to that of your father and Ji Song, so that you can really quarrel, and there will be no one-sided situation; secondly, once another argument prevails, it will affect our upcoming There's no benefit to what you're doing."

She thought for a while and said, "There must be a reversal."

Lu Sui looked at Lin Liu curiously: "Reverse?"

"Look for someone to fight against father and Ji Song without 'reading the book'. When the quarrel and public opinion fermented to the highest point, the other party read the two story books of He Nian, and it was really fragrant. .”

Lin Liu raised her head and met three pairs of blank eyes.

She froze for a moment, then explained with a smile: "'True Fragrance' means that at the beginning, you disdain something, but after you really eat and use it, you go after it very much. I sneered at the two story books, but after reading them, I praised them wildly, and even wrote many excellent poems to praise them. The contrast between before and after will naturally arouse greater discussion."

The point is, it doesn't affect other people's perception of the two stories.

Lin Ruhai and Ji Song had never been in contact with the means of manipulating public opinion, and did not understand the benefits of this method for a while, but Lu Sui, who was originally the person in charge of the newspaper, understood it in an instant, and immediately gave Lin Liu a thumbs up: "Sister, this The idea is wonderful! I almost want to stay in the capital and watch this reversal happen, and I don’t even want to go back to the south of the Yangtze River.”

Lin Liu laughed: "Then I won't reply. You are an expert in public opinion. With you watching, you will know when the reversal is more appropriate. As for Jiangnan's business..."

She thought for a while and said, "I'll write a letter to my aunt and let her take care of your business temporarily."

Lu Sui was like a cat with its hair blown up: "No, no, I must not hand over my business to Zhao Shi and Mrs. Zhao. She is too ruthless. I am worried that after she takes over the business, my subordinates will be punished." harm."

Lin Liu was stunned: "Didn't she promise me that she would never do anything again..."

"She didn't outright harm people, but she started to play tricks on people, don't you know, sister?" Lu Sui shuddered when he thought of Zhao Shishi's woman, "If someone dares to mess around, Mrs. Zhao can play a small trick, and it won't hurt anyone." Dead people can drive people to collapse."

Lu Sui rolled his eyes, leaned on the table and whispered, "When Mrs. Zhao went to take over the grain business, some people thought she was just a woman, and they were dissatisfied, which caused her a lot of stumbling blocks. As a result, Mrs. Zhao took advantage of He visited when he was away, and he didn't know what he said to the other party's wife and daughter, but his wife took away all his property the next day and ran away with her daughter."

"The man collapsed on the spot, and drank his sorrows for a long time. Later, he made a mistake at work, and was caught by Mrs. Zhao, and was almost fired. It was only after he knelt down and apologized to Mrs. Zhao in tears that Mrs. Zhao forgave her." he."

Lin Liu was shocked: "No way, I remember that my aunt doesn't have a habit of marrying bad guys?"

"Hi," Lu Sui waved his hand, "after he apologized, his wife and daughter came back with money. After he asked, he found out that after being provoked by Mrs. Zhao, his wife and daughter felt that his past words and deeds were very bad Mrs. Zhao gave his wife an idea, saying that she took money to make a false impression of leaving, and when she comes back, that man will definitely not look down on women anymore, nor will he perfunctory her like before."

Lin Liu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "This is really..."

The man was overjoyed and saddened, and his brain was probably cleared, so who cares whether Zhao Shishi is a woman or not?I'm afraid to treat her as an evil ghost and stay away.

Lu Sui scratched his head: "This is already the best ending. Other people who offended Mrs. Zhao are...cough cough, but the worst ones are those who betrayed their sister and wanted to make money for themselves through the grain store. .”

Lin Liu smiled: "If you don't want to hand over the business to your aunt for a while, just let her sit in charge for a while. You can do a good job of promoting the storybook in the capital first, and then it won't be too late to go back."

Lu Sui thought about it, if Zhao Shishi is not allowed to intervene in his own business, it is actually very good to just let her sit in charge. After all, Jiangnan has heard of Zhao Shishi's reputation, if he knows that she sits in charge of his business, I am afraid Better than when he was still around.

So he agreed without hesitation.

only……

Lin Ruhai said, "Where should I find someone whose reputation is comparable to mine and Ji Song's?"

After all, the two of them have the blessing of the imperial power, and it may not be easy to find someone with the same reputation as them.

Lin Liu and Ji Song looked at each other, and couldn't help frowning.

Ji Song paused, and said, "Why don't I play a bad face?"

Lin Ruhai resolutely rejected his proposal: "It's better for me to play a bad face than you. I am an elder and the father of little Qilin. If you play a bad face, I'm afraid people will doubt whether your marriage with Xiao Qilin is invalid. gone."

Ji Song shut up instantly.

Lu Sui looked at this, then at that, and said with a smile, "Actually, He Nian can make a bad face. Although his status is not as good as yours, he is still very prestigious in everyone's hearts."

Lin Ruhai looked at Lu Sui: "Didn't the novel be written by He Nian?"

"Father forgot? He Nian doesn't only have one pen name." Lu Sui smiled, "The two stories are published under a less famous pen name, and then the most famous pen name is used to write articles scolding myself. The two pseudonyms that can 'unintentionally' expose He Nian are the same person, and there will naturally be disputes at that time."

Because the novels written by He Nian are very popular, many people inquire about the real identity behind He Nian's pseudonym.

Of course his identity cannot be revealed, otherwise the final reversal would not be convincing enough——

Knowing that Lin Ruhai is He Nian's father, even if it turns around in the end, people will doubt whether He Nian compromised with him because of Lin Ruhai's father status.

But the fact that the two pseudonyms are the same person is revealed is enough to spark a heated discussion.After all, each pen name of He Nian has a different writing style and conveys different ideas. Not only do the readers not overlap, but most of them will scold readers with another pen name...

Lu Sui couldn't help but roll his eyes when he thought of the scene after it was revealed that the two pseudonyms of He Nian were actually the same person.

There is a good show to watch hahahaha...

Lin Liu looked at Lu Sui's expression, and was speechless: This kid has mastered the popular operation of dropping the vest without a teacher. I don't know how many things he can do in the future.

Lin Liu knew exactly how many readers and opponents there were behind He Nian's few vests, so he directly made a decision on the matter.

Lin Ruhai and Ji Song looked at each other, and they both decided that they must find out how much the twins have done in Jiangnan these years after they go back.

After the three of them left the palace, they made peace with the year of the crane, and then discussed and wrote dozens of articles, all of which were handed over to Lu Sui, so that he could release it at the right time.

After He Nian finished writing the article, he devoted himself to the creation of the script again——

The stories behind the chastity archway collected in Jiangnan are too many and too tragic. He Nian seems to be very creative, and now he has written half of the third storybook.

As for Lin Ruhai and Ji Song?One is responsible for the security of the Enke exam questions, and the other is responsible for the security of the capital, and they are also busy.

Just when the printing house had printed enough volumes of the two storybooks of the Year of the Crane and was about to find an auspicious day for publication, Enke started.

In the early morning of this day, except for Lin Liu and Lin Ruhai, and Gui Ling who was far away in the disaster area, the entire Lin family was mobilized, and they all took a carriage to send Daiyu to the examination room——

Lin Liu couldn't leave the palace, and Lin Ruhai was the person who set the test this time. From the start of writing the test, he was locked in a small dark room. He had to wait until the test results came out before returning to the Lin family.

The examination room is divided into two, but next to each other, and the women's examination room is opposite the previous examination room.

There were already a bunch of people standing side by side in the male examination room, but the female examination room seemed relatively empty because there were only about [-] people who signed up.

Those men often just saw a woman get off the carriage, and then stood in front of the nanny at the door for a while, then they were taken into the next hut for inspection, and then entered the examination room, disappearing in front of everyone.

Even the faces of these women have never been seen.

However, apart from the shorter time to enter the exam, there is no difference in other conditions between male and female exam rooms.

Most of these women who signed up were pampered at home in the past, and they couldn't adapt to the environment inside. After a long time, someone proposed to withdraw from the exam.

Lin Liu had expected this situation long ago, but she didn't let anyone stop her.

Fortunately, there were only two or three who dropped out of the exam, and their registration books were fresh, and the rest were those who really knew what they were doing and wanted to get fame.

Among them were Sheng Man, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.

Jia Min stood guard at the door, feeling terribly worried: "Daiyu is weak, what if she is inside..."

Lu Sui hurriedly interrupted: "Mother, speak carefully."

Jia Min realized that the words were inappropriate, and swallowed them back.But the worry between his brows couldn't be hidden.

It wasn't until evening that the Lin family returned home after the sun had set.

But early the next morning, Jia Min appeared in front of the examination room again, but Mao Shou and the others were dissuaded by her and did not come today.

Three days passed quickly, and when the time was up, Daiyu quickly appeared at the door.

Not only did she come out by herself, but she also held Sheng Man in one hand.

Jia Min hurriedly sent someone to help the two of them, and was about to take them away when a few strange servant girls appeared.
