The carriage soon arrived at Lin's mansion. Anxi saw Father Lin lying on the hospital bed. He was too weak to get up, and his speech was intermittent.

"Son, Zi'an, it's good that you're fine, as a father, you won't have no successors."

Anxi smiled and said nothing, not to mention that he didn't plan to get married, even if he got married, he wouldn't be considered a real descendant of the Lin family.But he won't tell Father Lin about this, he just imitated Lin Zi'an's expression, neither sad nor happy, and said lightly, "Father just rests at ease, don't worry about the rest."

"Okay, okay, God treats me well, I can rest assured that my son is here, housekeeper, housekeeper, from now on, I will leave all the affairs of the house to the young master."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, master." Steward Lin hurriedly bowed to salute, then knelt down and kowtowed to Anxi, "Please greet, young master."

The world of Lin Mansion is about to change.

It has indeed changed. After Anxi took over the accounts of the Lin family, he found that the Lin family was a sieve. There was no one who was not greedy in the whole house, including Zhuangzi's shop. Ten thousand taels.

Anxi spent a few days sorting out all the books, and took out the deeds of prostitution of the only honest servants.Then he handed over the rest of the deed of sale and the ledger to the local magistrate in Gusu, and said that he heard that there was a locust plague in the north, and the court was raising money for charity. The Lin family had no money, but it didn't matter, the Lin family still had these servants Well, they are all so rich, why not dedicate them all to the court!If you can help the victims, you should also pray for Master Lin, and hope that Master Lin will recover.

The magistrate was stunned by Lin Zian's coquettish operation, but who would not want the credit for the door-to-door delivery.Immediately, the yamen servant was ordered to search the house according to the list on the deed of sale.

Overnight, the newly returned young master of the Lin family dedicated all the servants in his family to the court, and then the news that the court had confiscated more than 50 taels of silver from these servants spread all over the streets of Gusu.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, some said that Young Master Lin was righteous, more than 50 taels, this is not a small amount, all of it was donated to the victims of the disaster.Some people say that Young Master Lin is filial and donated so much money without hesitation in order to make his father better.

Of course, there are those who say good things, and there are those who say bad things, saying that Young Master Lin is unkind, and that the servants who have served the family for generations will sell them as soon as they say it.It's just a dandyism, the family business that the ancestors have worked so hard to earn, if you don't want it, you don't want it. This is not what a prodigal is.

The rumor spread more and more widely, and in the end, everyone knew about it.

Young master Lin grew up in a temple. He has a bodhisattva heart and devotes himself to the Buddha. He doesn't care about money or family property. If the old monk didn't say that he still has ties to the world, he would have become a monk long ago.

Therefore, Anxi successfully set a personality for himself, a master who will become a monk sooner or later, so there is no need to show up as a matchmaker.

Father Lin spat out a mouthful of blood when he found out, pointed at Anxi and was speechless.

That night, Father Lin went, and Anxi kept his promise and spent huge sums of money to make a great fortune for Father Lin. For this reason, he sold all the fields and shops of the Lin family, and the remaining ancestral house and the sacrificial fields that he bought over the years were all worth it. He stayed, but Anxi didn't plan to keep it for himself. Instead, he planned to dedicate it to the clan after the funeral.

In order to spend all the money smoothly, Anxi set up a dojo for 49 days and set up an assembly line for 7 days. In Gusu City, no matter if you are a dignitary or a beggar, you can eat for free if you want to come.

Everyone said that the young master of the Lin family was extremely filial, and the magistrate even brought him a commendation from the court, but it was postponed by Anxi.

What a joke.

Is it so easy to be a moral benchmark?

Anxi said sanctimoniously, "It is necessary to be filial to your parents. This is what everyone can and should do. If you can get rewards for being filial, this will lose the original meaning of filial piety. If it makes people think it is beneficial But the picture is false filial piety, and it must not be advocated."

The magistrate was deeply moved by what Anxi said, what a pure, kind and transparent person he is!

Hey, why did Father Lin give up such a good son for his useless young son?If it was his child, he would love it like a jewel.

Even though he was treated differently, he still had the heart of a child. This child is so kind, it is commendable!

The magistrate often sighed to others, and for a while, Anxi's reputation was so good that some literati even wrote poems praising Anxi's character.

After a long time, even the emperor in the capital knew about it, and even praised him a few words.

What is good on the top must be good on the bottom.

Now, Anxi's deeds spread throughout the country.Anxi, no, it should be Lin Zian, who is completely famous, and still has a good name.

Anxi was very surprised, just a filial piety of "deceiving the world and stealing the name", can it be spread so widely?Was he specifically named and praised by the emperor?

But it’s also true to think about it. The ancient emperors relied on loyalty and filial piety to control their minds, and then control the court and the world. Of course, Anxi should be greatly appreciated for his emergence.

According to the general rhythm, in fact, there should be rewards or something, but Anxi has blatantly refused, and he has strictly refused to make things difficult for the court. Isn't this loyalty? It really is loyalty and filial piety, so the emperor said a few more words Second-rate.

Because it was the Lin family of Gusu, the emperor also thought of Lin Ruhai, the minister he relied on heavily, and called someone over to ask, this Lin Zian was really Lin Ruhai's clansman.

He knew that Lin Ruhai was talented and capable, and the Lin family had Lin Zian who was both loyal and filial. It can be seen that the education of the Lin family must be loyal and patriotic.

So the emperor waved his hand and appointed Lin Ruhai as the censor of salt inspection, and went to Gusu to take up his post.

The plot did not have any twists and turns due to the appearance of Lin Zian. Lin Ruhai still became the Jiangnan patrol salt censor just like in the original book, but it was only a few months earlier than expected.

But this Anxi didn't know that after Anxi finished Father Lin's funeral, he handed over the ancestral house and the sacrificial land to the clan for them to deal with. He returned the deed of sale to them, and gave them a few acres of fertile land as capital for future survival.

They were really honest and helped Anxi finish the funeral before leaving with their families one after another.

Anxi returned to the temple with nothing to worry about, and after meeting the old monk, he went to the bamboo house, lived in the bamboo house for a month, and went to talk to Lin Zian's grave every day.

"Zian, look, I have already solved all the troubles for you. Your father used up all the family property, so you don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to worry about your ancestors coming to trouble you. You still saved for the Lin family. If you have enough reputation, maybe you can leave a name in history.”

"However, people in the future will probably call you a fool. You used up your family property to hold a funeral for your father, and then lived in poverty. You are really stupid, haha."

"But it doesn't matter, whether it's praise or scolding, anyway, you are already famous now. Look, I did a good job. Now everyone remembers your name, hahaha."

Smiling and laughing, tears welled up in the corners of Anxi's eyes, this was the fastest way he could think of to help Lin Zian become famous.

Before Zi'an died, he hoped that he could be remembered by others, instead of living like an invisible person all the time, now everyone remembers him.

Zi'an, are you happy?

"Loyalty and Filial Piety, Lin Zi'an"

This is what the emperor said, did you hear it?

This month, Anxi didn't go back to his home. Even though there were more memories about Lin Zian there, and even photos and videos they took together, Anxi still stayed in the bamboo house.

I can't tell what it feels like, but I just want to experience Zi'an's life. He has lived in this bamboo house for many years, and every inch of it has his breath.

A gentleman like jade and bamboo, his gentleness and tenacity are engraved in his bones, but his heart is warm.Just like this bamboo house, it was obviously cold and abnormal, but it made Anxi feel at ease and warm, so beautiful.

Anxi's life in the bamboo house is very leisurely, reading books and practicing calligraphy every day. In the eyes of outsiders, he is keeping a filial piety for Lin's father, but only the old monk knows that he actually just wants to accompany Zi'an.

However, this leisure was soon broken by the arrival of a person.

"Master Lin, what do you want from me?" Anxi was a little puzzled. Although Lin Zian and Lin Ruhai were clan brothers, they were already in the fourth service, and they hadn't had much contact with each other before.

"Yes, there is one thing I need to ask Brother Andy for help." Lin Ruhai was also helpless. He had just arrived in Gusu and was still in such an important position as the inspector of salt and censor. He needed a lot of help, but the staff who came with him fell ill. , I can't help, but I still need the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion to take care of me.

His first wife, Jia Min, was pregnant. She suffered a lot along the way, and the fetus was a little unstable. This was their only child in more than ten years of marriage. .

I can grit my teeth and persist in external affairs, but I can't help with family affairs and property.

Gusu is his family, so there are many things to take care of. Officials, clansmen, and local gentry all need to communicate.The family has a lot of property, and he hasn't been back for more than ten years, and now he has to check it out no matter what.

Lin Ruhai originally wanted to seek help from members of the clan, recommending one or two capable juniors to serve as his staff for two years first, and then after they were elected, he would recommend each other to be an official, which was considered a mutual benefit.

But what he didn't expect was that in recent years, the talent in the clan has withered more and more, and even a few outstanding young people are relatively young and busy studying.

In the end, the old patriarch recommended Lin Zian.

Of course Lin Ruhai knew about Lin Zi'an, and although he disapproved of his 'losing his family property for funeral', it didn't hinder his appreciation of his character, but he had never been in contact with him, so he didn't know what his abilities were.

Outsiders may be confused by what Anxi did, but the old patriarch with a clear eye can see that Anxi is not as filial to Father Lin as he appears on the surface, but he himself is dissatisfied with Father Lin's attitude towards the eldest son, and Anxi I didn't really do anything, and I also helped the clan a lot, providing more education expenses for the children in the clan, so I have a good sense of Anxi.

He told Lin Ruhai that after Anxi returned home, it took him a few days to find out the messy things between the servants. Although the method was a bit extreme, his ability was beyond doubt.

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed after hearing that, his current position is too important, and those who are not firm and decisive dare not use it, Anxi is exactly what he needs.

Anxi was a little surprised after hearing Lin Ruhai's intention, but thinking that he was now penniless, he agreed.
