Bandit Reborn
Chapter 53
Asked, "The yamen will open for business on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. Are you still planning to stay with me?"
"Well, I'll accompany you." Lin Yichen drank tea calmly, touched Li Huaixi's tense face and said with a smile, "With me around, no one would dare to touch you. Although this is not Yu Chuan, no one would dare to hit you. idea."
"Just in case, in case you run into the trouble of not opening your eyes." Li Huaixi still had a sullen face, but he pulled Lin Yichen's hand to his mouth, and touched the back of Lin Yichen's hand with his lips while speaking, holding back He asked with a smile, "What reason did Governor Lin use?"
"Treatment," Lin Yichen gently scratched Li Huaixi's rosy lips with his thumb, and coughed twice with a smile, "Escorting junior brother to Beijing, I occasionally feel cold, diagnosed by a famous doctor, not suitable for traveling and traveling, rest for a month."
"It takes a month of rest to have a baby!" Li Huaixi sneered, threw away Lin Yichen's hand, stood up and closed the carved wooden door, came back and sat on Lin Yichen's lap, and smiled a little on Lin Yichen's nose, "You can't always be sick. After Qingming."
The moment Li Huaixi sat up, Lin Yichen's body was numb, his tall and handsome nose sniffed at Li Huaixi's neck, pretending to be confused, he replied in a muffled voice for a long time, "Then I'll be sick all the time! "
Li Huaixi was so angry that he was holding Lin Yichen's distraught head, just about to cure Lin Yichen's problem of not seeking to make progress, when he heard Lin Qing standing outside the door and telling, the right minister's mansion sent an invitation card, Ask Lin Yichen whether to answer or not.
Lin Yichen is complaining about illness now, so the post cannot be accepted.Li Huaixi asked Lin Qing to reward the visitor with two taels of silver, and wrote a reply post at his discretion for the visitor to take back. The signature was signed by Lin Yichen's name, but it was indicated that it was Li Huaixi's ghostwriting. Lin Yichen was suffering from acute illness and was exhausted. attitude.
The right minister is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and he also approved the official document for Lin Yichen's illness, so he had to post an invitation, and the posting time was on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is not an embarrassing day, so the meaning of the test can be said to be strong Both Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen were trained by Mr. Yunyin, so how could they not know the tricks in it? !
It is a big taboo for those in power in the past dynasties to form a party and seek private affairs. Although Lin Yichen now wants to go to Beijing for help, he is not at the point of going to the doctor when he is sick. Like Li Huaixi, he is very clear-headed. His grandfather did everything possible to help him seek an official position abroad. Now he holds the military and political power of the six northern prefectures. Except for the emperor, no one in the court can comment on his position. But he is not the most powerful person in this world!
66. Let's get together
Following the invitation from Lord Right Prime Minister, Lin Yichen received several similar invitations one after another. Li Huaixi declined all of them with the same reason. The two of them, one preparing for the exam and the other 'recovering from illness', stayed at home every day without leaving the door. Income, the life is relaxed and comfortable, and by the end of the month, Qiqi has gained two catties.
The two of them would sometimes sneak out for a walk together in the evening. The prosperity of Shengjing is far from that of the small Yuchuan City. Li Huaixi loves to enjoy himself when he has money in his pocket, so he must buy it every time he goes out. A bunch of things, Lin Yichen is not interested in this kind of thing, occasionally complains but never stops, he helps Li Huaixi buy whatever he buys.
The guards all changed into casual clothes and followed them from a distance, not leaning forward, seeing Lin Yichen with his hands on his shoulders, and never helping them. These people have been with Lin Yichen for many years, and they know the habits of these two talents. The two-person world is a small love affair between two people. It hurts to look at the waist and legs, but in fact, he is very sweet. If you rush to flatter, you will definitely be patted on the horse's leg. The loss outweighs the gain.
Seeing that the spring was approaching, Li Huaixi didn't go out much after entering February. Lin Yichen supervised him to complete a policy theory and a scripture post every day, and the two of them closed the door to discuss practical matters in the rest of the time.All the teahouses in Shengjing City were selling all kinds of exam questions privately. After Lin Yichen went out for a stroll, he came back and closed the door of the house. Except for the servants who bought it every day, even Lin Qing was not allowed to go out!
On the fifth day of February, four days before Chunwei, Lin Yichen submitted his written invitation to the play. Li Huaixi knew the content of the play, and it was also discussed by the two of them.According to the analysis of two people, the emperor may not have been so willing when he suddenly lifted Lin Yichen to the position of a feudal official.
The situation at that time was too tense, and the emperor had too few people who were really available under his command, otherwise it would be far-fetched for Lin Yichen to be given the position of the second-rank governor by virtue of Lin Yichen's merit alone.Today, the world is peaceful and the overall situation is stable, and the emperor has shown some signs of taking power. Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen think that it is the right time to voluntarily hand over the power in their hands at this time, so the two discussed it and wrote a bunch of high-sounding The reason was presented, Lin Yichen's figure is very low, in order to "see the sky and listen to the teachings of the sages" often, Governor Lin is willing to demote one and a half levels (it's fine if you drop too much).
After the play was sent out, the emperor did not summon Lin Yichen immediately.In the first two days, Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen looked normal, doing what they should do, but seeing the exam approaching, the unresolved matter in their hearts still made them feel a little uneasy.
Lin Yichen regretted so much that he hated that he didn't take the test when Li Huaixi took the provincial examination, so at least there would be more time, but it was useless to regret, so he had to send someone outside to grab two more medicines. Invited a famous doctor in the capital into the mansion for a walk, and if he failed to be transferred, he continued to pretend to be sick, and then tried to find a way to pretend until he could no longer pretend.
Li Huaixi watched Lin Yichen do these things, and he naturally knew what Lin Yichen thought, but he didn't say anything.On the afternoon of the seventh day of February, Lin Qing came over with a small plate of snacks and a pile of clothes to ask Li Huaixi, "My lord, try these snacks to see if they suit your appetite. If you don't like them, I'll ask them to prepare some more. In the past few days, there are also a few pastries that can be brought in. If you think our house is not good enough, I will let them go outside to buy some and come back for you to try; and these are made by the embroiderers in the house. Good clothes, you have a look at them, if there is something inappropriate, I will ask them to change it, and I will enter the venue in one day, you can tell me if there is anything else you need to prepare, turn around..."
"Put it down first," Li Huaixi interrupted him a little irritably, put the book in his hand on the table casually, and asked Lin Qing, "Is there any post sent over these two days?"
"No, it's been quite quiet at the door these two days. There are no posts. The most recent post was sent by Mr. Xu, a fellow examiner of our lord. He said he was coming to visit a doctor, but the lord said 'no wind' and returned."
"Can't see the wind?" Li Huaixi raised his eyebrows, feeling that Lin Yichen's illness was a bit outrageous, and he was more and more like confinement, but Li Huaixi still saved face for this unreliable guy in front of the servants, and asked again After a few sentences about the affairs of the mansion, Lin Qing was let out.
There was still the last day before the start of the exam. Li Huaixi looked at the beautiful spring outside the house, put down the book in his hand and walked out.
Governor Lin, who can't see the wind, is now leaning on a deck chair basking in the sun like an old man, his handsome face is calm and calm, Li Huaixi sat on his lap and he didn't open his eyes, he was still so calm Ignoring the hand that reached under the hem of Li Huaixi's clothes and rubbed vigorously, the young Governor Lin at first glance seems to be a bit of a high-spirited and upright man.
The afternoon sun was just right, and Li Huaixi squinted his eyes from the sun. He hugged Lin Yichen's neck and sighed comfortably, kissed the corner of his mouth and said, "If there is no decree passed down tomorrow, I will not end the day after tomorrow. Wait for you We’ll talk about it later when we’re transferred to Beijing.”
Lin Yichen froze his hands when he heard the words, opened his eyes and looked at Li Huaixi, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "What are you talking about? We are here with great fanfare, what if we don't end at the end?! Mr. is still waiting for you to win three yuan in a row. Firecrackers are ready!"
Li Huaixi smiled, and stretched out his hand to pinch the silly Lin Yichen, "It doesn't matter if you get the title of Huiyuan or the number one scholar early or late, you don't even care if you are in the middle school or not, and the firecrackers at home will be set off a little more when my brother gets married." It’s not worth buying, it’s okay, these are not important.”
"Not important?..." "Not important."
Lin Yichen really wanted to ask if these are not important and what is important, but he was a little embarrassed to ask, and it seemed hypocritical to ask the obvious and obvious answer. Li Huaixi in his arms was covered with a layer of golden light by the warm spring sun, facing him With a lazy smile, still full of evil spirits, Lin Yichen shook his head in this smile and closed his eyes. While continuing to move his hands, he raised the corners of his lips in the warm sunshine, and suddenly felt that what Li Huaixi said That's right, these are not important...
On the eighth day of February, Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen slept in again, and didn't wake up until the sun was high.Breakfast and lunch are combined into one meal, and it is half an hour earlier than other people's lunch.
Lin Qing once again brought up a plate of prepared snacks. Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen had already given up hope about being transferred to the capital, so they randomly selected a few pleasing ones and let Lin Qing go down. The embroiderers sewed them up. The clothes were neatly folded and placed in the closet, and Li Huaixi didn't bother to try them on. If there were no accidents, he shouldn't be able to make it this time.
Lin Yichen's sick leave is almost over. After eating, Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen began to discuss about buying some wedding gifts for Li Long in Shengjing and bringing them back, and sending them together in the name of the two. Cross Ming Road.Li Huaixi advocated giving some practical things, and Lin Yichen advocated sending things to support the scene. The two insisted on their own opinions, and their positions were very firm. Neither of them could persuade the other, and they debated non-stop for noon on this matter.
Lin Qing didn't know if the candidates in other mansions were as poor and boring as this one in his own family, and they still wanted to argue with others, and he didn't have time to smear the two masters. Since the morning, he has been doing logistics for Li Huaixi's meeting I was so busy with work, I just watched the servants in the kitchen put the hen from the farm outside into the pot, and the carriage sent by the pharmacy outside to deliver the medicinal materials had already arrived at the back door, and finally counted the medicinal materials. Said that the prepared silver frost charcoal was damp, and all kinds of chores followed one after another, and he didn't even have the time to drink saliva.
When it was almost noon, Lin Qing was finally busy with some grades. After counting the things in the test basket and making some long-lasting snacks, Lin Qing made himself a pot of tea, thinking that he could take a break , but before the hot tea was brought to his mouth, a young guard at the gate ran in in a panic, and someone from the palace came to pass the imperial decree!
Except for the master chef who cooks, including Lin Qing, the housekeeper, none of the servants in the Li family are over 20 years old. How to receive an order has never been experienced before. Everyone in the Li family was terrified. After Lin Yichen and Li Huaixisu got dressed and greeted them in a hurry, they realized that this so-called "guest from the palace" was actually a eunuch with a high-pitched voice and fine powder on his face leading several background It looks like a guard with a knife is not a formal ceremonial proclamation, and it is not an imperial decree, but the emperor's oral order-the emperor's grace, "call Lin Yichen, the governor of the six northern prefectures, and Li Huaixi, the governor of the six northern prefectures, to enter the palace together for an audience." ! '
The eunuch didn't say what the emperor was doing when he entered the palace, and he didn't reveal whether the emperor was in a good mood. Dare to delay, quickly changed clothes and entered the palace with this eunuch who smelled fragrant.
Li Huaixi bought tickets to enter the Forbidden City when he was Meng Guangqing in his previous life. At that time, he held his head up and took a lot of photos with an ultra-thin card camera. Unfortunately, he was still a gangster at that time, so he didn’t dare to take pictures of himself. Some magnificent buildings, Meng Guangqing always felt that this was a pity.Now, as a well-known figure in the world, Li Huaixi and Li Jieyuan found sadly that he was actually more aggrieved when he entered the palace this time than when he was a bandit. When he entered the palace gate, he was searched all over. Even bigger, the building is also very majestic, but the Lord is still living in it, who dares to write 'XX came here for a visit' on the wall? !
The two of them followed the fragrant eunuch Pixiu all the way to the door of a side hall with low eyebrows. There were guards guarding the door. The eunuch Pixiu said in a high-pitched voice, "Master Lin and Li Jieyuan please wait" and went in. After a while, the eunuch came out and brought the two people in. Before Li Huaixi could see that the man in the yellow robe had changed, he hurriedly kowtowed with Lin Yichen. He bit his mouth, almost screaming in pain.
Lin Yichen also grinned at the side, but the corners of his mouth were upward, and he looked a little gloating. When he knelt down, his movements were obviously slower than Li Huaixi's, and his knees were also leisurely. The advantage of being born and bred is clear at a glance.
Li Huaixi didn't have time to talk to him, so he covered his face with the wide sleeves of his long robe, and bowed to the top.
"Chen Lin Yichen sees His Majesty!"
"Student Li Huaixi sees His Majesty!"
……
The emperor did not follow up with the phrase 'Ai Qing is flat! ', after Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen finished their salutes, the entire side hall became very quiet.
There was a scent floating in the side hall, a very strange scent. Li Huaixi guessed that it might be the legendary ambergris. In such a space with the scent of ambergris, only the ticking of the western clock and The sound of someone flipping the paper behind the desk, Li Huaixi knelt down on the ground, not in a hurry, and felt a kind of oppression in a timely manner, the kind of oppression that the superior wanted to convey to him.
After a while, this oppressive feeling decreased a bit, and Li Huaixi knew that it was the emperor's eyes that had moved away from him. Li Huaixi moved without a trace, and his knees hurt a little after kneeling for a long time.He knew that the emperor deliberately wanted to embarrass the two of them, because no matter how high-sounding the reason in the request for the tune was written, and no matter how happy the emperor was with the result, in the eyes of ordinary people, Lin Yichen's behavior Some people don't know what is good and what is bad. A courtier who picks an official should always be disliked. The emperor can't show his happiness too obviously.
Li Huaixi can fully understand the ulterior and careful thinking of the feudal emperor, but his knees don't understand, and the cold and hard floor tiles hurt him.In order to relieve the pain, Li Huaixi tried his best to think of some good things. He guessed that the matter of Lin Yichen's transfer was likely to be completed, otherwise the emperor couldn't ask him to come here and kneel with Lin Yichen.
Kneeling for a long time, Li Huaixi, who is used to explaining himself, inevitably felt a bit of resentment in his heart, thinking that it is no wonder that many great time travel gods are willing to do things that destroy the world after they have traveled to ancient times. The taste is really uncomfortable. Fortunately, he has earned a knee-free waist card with his own ability. In this world, he only needs to kneel to the one above him. Otherwise, he will kneel too much. Fry this 'unequal world'.
Emperor Renwu, who had just sat firmly in the world, was a man who knew how to measure himself. He showed his majesty a little and made the two of them flat. He slapped a red date, and Emperor Renwu also gave them a seat. The reason It's 'Lin Aiqing is still sick'.
After sitting down, Li Huaixi secretly looked at the emperor behind the desk, and found that the man's appearance had not changed from when he was the prince. Compared with the prince's outfit, the emperor's clothes were brighter in color and the jewelry on his head was brighter. It is a bit more expensive, and it doesn't have much effect on the plain face of Emperor Renwu. However, this plain-looking man has a good temperament and ample momentum. He looks better than Li Huaixi when he sits behind the desk and sips tea. Any emperor I have seen on TV in my previous life is more like an emperor. Of course, in fact, Emperor Renwu is actually an emperor...
The emperor didn't know what Li Huaixi, who was respectful on the face, was masquerading in. After giving seats to the two, Emperor Renwu waved all the palace people to retreat, leaving behind only a eunuch with a paralyzed face. This eunuch was not painted, His appearance is very upright, his breath is long, and he looks like a martial arts master. It is the first time for Li Huaixi to observe the 'Zhongnanhai Bodyguard' up close. Knowing that he has nothing to do with entering the palace this time, his attention is quickly attracted. .
"Lin Aiqing, I remember that you were Tanhua Lang handpicked by the late Emperor Zhaode in 38 years, right?" The emperor put down the teacup in his hand and asked Lin Yichen with a smile.
"Return to Your Majesty, yes." Lin Yichen didn't know what the emperor was trying to trick, so he answered this sentence respectfully and didn't say any more.
"You were fifteen that year?"
"Return to Your Majesty, I just turned sixteen."
"Oh, by the way, Huaixi is fifteen this year..." The emperor said to himself as if suddenly enlightened, and called Li Huaixi "Huaixi". After a long silence, she suddenly said, "Lin Aiqing spent 10,000+ taels to buy a county magistrate that day. After eight years, Lin Aiqing has learned to be petty as a party official, so she fell into such a broken rule. If you don’t spend money, what kind of official do you want to find?”
The emperor's unreasonable play of cards surprised the two 'brothers'. No matter how hard they thought, they would never have imagined that the king of a country would do this "buying and selling officials" business. Thinking of the IOU back then, Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen looked at each other , and made a small calculation in my heart together.
After a while, Lin Yichen glanced at Li Huaixi again, and opened his mouth cautiously, "Your Majesty, although I am now the governor, my salary for this year is only 3000 taels, and I only received it once just now. Yin's salary is 300 taels, and the minister has only received it twice. Going forward, the minister has been doing trivial local orders, and the salary is only 800 taels. The humble minister was born in a merchant family, and he was arrogant and indulgent when he was young. , I accidentally developed a bad habit of spending money like water, and I haven't saved much money in the past few years as an official. Although the family's ancestral property is rich, there are many uncles, nephews, and brothers, and few of them are assigned to humble ministers. Nian has always been cautious, and ministers would never dare to do such things as buying and selling officials. Please rest assured, Your Majesty.
This time I asked to be transferred to Beijing out of selfishness. If the Holy Majesty agrees to play, I will do my best to repay the emperor's grace. If the Holy Majesty refuses, I will have no complaints. Dare to make fun of the official position of the court. "
"Selfishness?" The emperor smiled, "You are telling the truth, it sounds much more comfortable than the high-sounding ones in the brochure. Let me ask you, if I don't allow it today, can you really go back to be your governor honestly?"
"Back to the emperor, this humble minister has absolutely no false words."
"What about you?" The emperor smiled and turned to Li Huaixi who was watching.
Li Huaixi looked away from the paralyzed eunuch, stood up and saluted the emperor, and said with a smile—"The student's family is poor."
Early in the morning on the ninth day of February, Li Huaixi entered the arena carrying his test basket.
The imperial examinations in Dazhou were very rigorous, and it was even stricter at the stage of the general examination.The entrance inspection before the exam is meticulous. In order to prevent entrainment and private possession, the cakes that are brought in must be cut into small pieces; after entering the exam room, enter the dormitory according to the randomly assigned number, and do not make a sound unless there is a special reason. There is no need to look left and right in the house, and the uninterrupted inspections are also very strict, and there is no possibility of plagiarism from each other.
The early spring flowers in Shengjing City have already bloomed, but it is still very cold at night. Although it is not as terrible as Lin Yichen said that the inkstone freezes, sooner or later, Li Huaixi can still hear the southern master in the nearby house knocking his teeth. The sound of teeth.
Li Huaixi himself was not cold, he wore three layers of woolen clothes, took off two layers during the day, and put them all back on at night.Many people who entered the venue wore clothes made of the same wool material as Li Huaixi. Li Huaixi let Li Hu monopolize the wool raw material market in Da Tan. Whether these materials were produced by his 'Chenxi' woolen factory or not With his profits in it, Li Huaixi looked very happy.Sitting in the dormitory diagonally opposite Li Huaixi was a white-faced scholar wearing several layers of silk and satin. He seemed to resist these woolen clothes. Every time Li Huaixi was tossing like this, people would stare at him, but Li Huaixi didn't care. Stare back, tossing still very complacent.
Lin Qing prepared a charcoal stove and two hand stoves for him. The charcoal stove was kept on all day long by his feet. He held the slightly smaller hand stove in his arms to warm his stomach during the day, so as to avoid stomach trouble after sitting on a hard bench for a long time. He puts one of them under the quilt at night. The quilt in the dormitory is just a thick felt, which is hard and uncomfortable, and it gets very cold at night.
During the nine-day test, many people were carried out halfway, their faces were ashen, and they didn't even have the strength to cry. They looked very pitiful when they were carried out quietly.
Li Huaixi is not affected by these external factors. The old god is answering his own questions. After the last provincial examination, he cared about his body very much. He used various methods to regulate his body very well. After drinking the ginseng soup for several days, the ginseng soup boiled with high-quality wild ginseng was neither hot nor dry. After drinking it, Li Huaixi's eyes lit up, and his spirit was very good.
On February [-]th, the last day of the exam, Li Huaixi wrote the last stroke on his exam paper an hour early, rubbing his stiff arms, Li Huaixi handed in the paper with a smile, and the topic of the last current affairs was the relationship between him and Lin Yichen. After discussing it a few days ago, he hit the right button.
An hour later, all the test papers were collected, and the candidates stayed in the dormitory and could not move. In order to show fairness and justice, the academic and political officials were sealing the collected papers on the spot. In the article section, the rest of the information is not visible at all.
Li Huaixi sat in the dormitory with his chin resting on his chin and watched the actions of the academic officials. He didn't think that this would be able to achieve complete fairness and justice. Although the test papers required candidates to use block letters to answer the papers, everyone's handwriting was different. The effect of writing in block letters is also different. If the examiner who grades the paper wants to show favoritism, it is the same if he does not read the sealed part.
The chief examiner of Enke this time is a protégé of a considerable age on the right, and the two deputy examiners are protégés of the prime minister on the left. The entire Department of Academic Affairs has gathered people from all walks of life, all of whom are staring at the result of this Enke. Li Huaixi doesn't know How many people's handwriting has been filed with those Xuezheng, but he knows that these people must have memorized his handwriting-he and Lin Yichen were sent back to the mansion in the palace carriage on the eighth day of February. Before he got home, the news had already spread throughout Shengjing.
After the examination papers were sealed, the gate of the Tribute Academy was opened, and the examinees were allowed to leave.There was a crowd of people at the gate, and people kept calling the names of candidates who were going out one after another. Li Huaixi had just stepped out of the threshold of the tribute courtyard when he was hugged by Lin Yichen who was guarding the gate, and his bones ached from being strangled.
The high-intensity mental work for nine consecutive days made many candidates pass out as soon as they left the gate of the tribute college. Compared with those classmates who took the exam with a disheveled face, Li Huaixi was actually in quite good condition, but Lin Yichen was still worried, so he poured it into him in the carriage A bowl of ginseng soup, Lin Yichen didn't ask Li Huaixi how he did in the exam, but both of them knew that Lin Yichen sold it to the emperor's family at the age of 16, and Li Huaixi did the same!
Li Huaixi successfully completed the examination, and Lin Yichen's sick leave was over. The emperor asked Lin Yichen to go back to Yuchuan before the end of February. Spring plowing and spring floods in the north are about to begin. Lin Yichen is well-versed in government affairs. If someone comes to replace him, Lin Yichen must persist until the end of June before resigning.
This transfer was successful, Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen really ran into each other by mistake, their previous guess was a bit of a villain, in fact, if Lin Yichen didn't get the booklet for the transfer, Emperor Renwu really didn't plan to replace him.As an emperor who manages many things every day, he has too many things to worry about. After the business with Datan, there has been nothing to make him feel bad about the borders of the six northern prefectures. Emperor Renwu really forgot who is in such an important large area No matter, Lin Yichen's governor is very good, and he is so dedicated to sharing the worries of the king that the emperor has almost forgotten him.
When Lin Yichen's request was submitted, the emperor was a little confused, so it took a lot of effort to understand the ins and outs of the matter. During this period, many ministers who were rejected by Lin Yichen, like Emperor Renwu, said that Lin Yichen was arrogant and so on. Wait, but Emperor Renwu is a very wise emperor, these suggestions did not play their due role.
As an emperor, Emperor Renwu's thinking direction is completely different from that of ordinary people. The party struggle among the ministers in the court is intensifying. At this time, Lin Yichen applied to be transferred to Beijing as an official. It can inject new blood, but a scholar like Li Huaixi who has just entered the official position will have to take a few more years before he can take on important responsibilities. Lin Yichen is different from them in this regard. This is a sharpened knife that can be used when you pick it up. It is perfect for cutting cancerous tumors in the court.
As for the relationship between Lin Yichen and Li Huaixi, which is difficult to talk about in the eyes of ordinary people, Li Huaixi guesses that in the eyes of the emperor, this may be a good thing that can wake up from a dream. , Even an official position like the emperor of the earth can be lost as soon as he says it, so where can he find such a worthless minister? !
67. Storm
When the development of a matter has been predicted in advance, no matter how brilliant the result is, it will not make people feel very excited, so people who are particularly smart will generally feel that life is very boring. This is the case for Li Huaixi at this time, Of course, he's not a particularly smart person, just slightly smarter than the average person.
On the tenth day after Lin Yichen left Beijing, Li Huaixi received the good news from Huiyuan, a senior high school. The joy of being one step closer to his goal only supported his excitement for two days. , this little excitement is exhausted.
For the rest of the time, Li Huaixi continued to live his previous life, reading books and drinking tea every day, but Lin Yichen was missing from his side, which still made him feel a little unaccustomed and felt that there was a fly in the ointment.
What is even more unaccustomed to him is Lin Yichen who is far away in Yuchuan. Every three days, Li Huaixi will receive a long letter from Lin Yichen. There is no specific content in it, except for describing some daily life that makes people blush. Love words, the more and more limitless governor-general used his crazy fonts that are respected by the world, describing his suffering years of being alone and sleepless with the five-finger brothers, and when it comes to emotion, he must Attach one or two small poems to enhance the atmosphere.
Back in the day when I was preparing for the college examination, Li Huaixi wrote a few sentimental love letters to Lin Yichen in order to prevent his poems from being too sharp. Naturally, he also wrote a few small poems in them. At that time, Lin Yichen was still rational and laughed at In the past, Li Huaixi was possessed by a demon fox and had a toothache, but now that Feng Shui has changed, Governor Lin suddenly replaced Li Huaixi to shine in the world of love poetry. ’ On the same level, the hearty bed and curtain battle is Governor Lin’s favorite theme to describe now.
Governor Lin, who lost his virginity too late, loves bed\things far more than other men of the same age in the Zhou Dynasty. However, Governor Lin's love is only expressed between the lines. Dare, even if Li Huaixi took the initiative to ask for sex, he would have to console him again and again before he dared to take off his clothes. Lin Yichen still loved Lin Yichen at the top of his heart when he was young, and he didn't want to leave even a trace of harm.
When the peach blossoms bloomed in March, the letter sent by Governor Lin added new content. In addition to the super-large love poems and words, the envelope also contained dried flower petals, and the letter paper was also incensed. He has improved a lot. Even though Li Huaixi is a time traveler and has seen many erotic movies, but he is not as thick-skinned as this local person, and now he can only bow down.
Lin Yichen not only "kept writing", but also asked Li Huaixi to reply to the letter. Although he did not explicitly require Li Huaixi to be as flirtatious as him, the meaning between the lines was undoubtedly revealed.
As of mid-to-late March, Li Huaixi had owed Lin Yichen three replies in just over 20 days. He couldn't add things like how many times he went to the toilet every day to make up the number. After Lin Yichen left, Li Huaixi The door is still closed, and the life is as ordinary as water. Li Huaixi feels that he really has nothing to write about.
Lin Yichen is easy to talk, and after a small complaint, he lowered his standards. He didn't want Li Huaixi to be as romantic as him, but just asked Li Huaixi to tell him whether his daily life was good or not. I can't laugh or cry.
In fact, Li Huaixi has no experience in such things as falling in love. He lived too short and busy in his previous life. It's just thanks to the few love action movies he watched in his previous life. He really doesn't know what the performance of people who are really in love is.
Li Huaixi sometimes suspects that Lin Yichen is actually crazy under his seemingly normal appearance. The rogue county magistrate who had a hippie smile on the surface was very arrogant in his bones. !He wanted to ignore this lunatic, but he was afraid that Governor Lin would go mad and rush to Shengjing. Finally, in desperation, Li Huaixi followed Lin Yichen's plea, wrote some journal accounts and sent them out together with a few recent policy theories. , As for whether Lin Yichen is really satisfied after receiving the reply, he can't control it. Li Huiyuan's romantic cells are exhausted, and he really can't hold back too much "graceful".
After writing the letter to Lin Yichen, Li Huaixi wrote another letter from home. During the Chinese New Year, Li Chengkui discussed with his brothers and planned to buy more land for rent.At that time, Li Huaixi was thinking about the exam and didn't listen carefully. These days, he had a little more leisure, and when he thought about it, he still felt a little inappropriate.Jin County is rich and poor, and there are not many people renting land to farm, and their family members are not as good at farming as uncle Li Chengxiao's family. Even his father Li Chengkui himself is not sure how much different crops can be harvested per mu. Therefore, Li Huaixi is more inclined to set up a few shops in the city to collect rent. He and Li Hu are familiar with these things, at least it is better than land drought and flood.
Along with the love letter to Lin Yichen, the family letter was sent out through the official post station with Governor Lin's privilege. The ten mu of land has been rented out now. Li Chengkui and Li Chengxiao discussed how much rent to charge, so Li Huaixi doesn't have to worry.
The family originally planned to buy [-] mu of land, but they stopped buying after receiving Li Huaixi's letter. The remaining money was going to let Li Hu buy two shops in Yuchuan, and Jin County also planned to buy one, and kept it for selling bacon at home. .The eldest son of the second uncle's family can't study well, and he has also transferred to a business. The apprentices outside are not easy to do, so he can help Li Chengkui look after the shop first.
Tomb-sweeping day is coming soon, Li Chengkui told Li Huaixi not to forget to burn paper for the deceased relatives in the letter, fearing that Li Huaixi would not understand, he also said a lot of precautions in the letter, even how to choose the place to burn paper.
The letter was written by Li Sisi, the little girl at home, who bullied Li Chengkui for being illiterate.
"Well, I'll accompany you." Lin Yichen drank tea calmly, touched Li Huaixi's tense face and said with a smile, "With me around, no one would dare to touch you. Although this is not Yu Chuan, no one would dare to hit you. idea."
"Just in case, in case you run into the trouble of not opening your eyes." Li Huaixi still had a sullen face, but he pulled Lin Yichen's hand to his mouth, and touched the back of Lin Yichen's hand with his lips while speaking, holding back He asked with a smile, "What reason did Governor Lin use?"
"Treatment," Lin Yichen gently scratched Li Huaixi's rosy lips with his thumb, and coughed twice with a smile, "Escorting junior brother to Beijing, I occasionally feel cold, diagnosed by a famous doctor, not suitable for traveling and traveling, rest for a month."
"It takes a month of rest to have a baby!" Li Huaixi sneered, threw away Lin Yichen's hand, stood up and closed the carved wooden door, came back and sat on Lin Yichen's lap, and smiled a little on Lin Yichen's nose, "You can't always be sick. After Qingming."
The moment Li Huaixi sat up, Lin Yichen's body was numb, his tall and handsome nose sniffed at Li Huaixi's neck, pretending to be confused, he replied in a muffled voice for a long time, "Then I'll be sick all the time! "
Li Huaixi was so angry that he was holding Lin Yichen's distraught head, just about to cure Lin Yichen's problem of not seeking to make progress, when he heard Lin Qing standing outside the door and telling, the right minister's mansion sent an invitation card, Ask Lin Yichen whether to answer or not.
Lin Yichen is complaining about illness now, so the post cannot be accepted.Li Huaixi asked Lin Qing to reward the visitor with two taels of silver, and wrote a reply post at his discretion for the visitor to take back. The signature was signed by Lin Yichen's name, but it was indicated that it was Li Huaixi's ghostwriting. Lin Yichen was suffering from acute illness and was exhausted. attitude.
The right minister is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and he also approved the official document for Lin Yichen's illness, so he had to post an invitation, and the posting time was on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is not an embarrassing day, so the meaning of the test can be said to be strong Both Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen were trained by Mr. Yunyin, so how could they not know the tricks in it? !
It is a big taboo for those in power in the past dynasties to form a party and seek private affairs. Although Lin Yichen now wants to go to Beijing for help, he is not at the point of going to the doctor when he is sick. Like Li Huaixi, he is very clear-headed. His grandfather did everything possible to help him seek an official position abroad. Now he holds the military and political power of the six northern prefectures. Except for the emperor, no one in the court can comment on his position. But he is not the most powerful person in this world!
66. Let's get together
Following the invitation from Lord Right Prime Minister, Lin Yichen received several similar invitations one after another. Li Huaixi declined all of them with the same reason. The two of them, one preparing for the exam and the other 'recovering from illness', stayed at home every day without leaving the door. Income, the life is relaxed and comfortable, and by the end of the month, Qiqi has gained two catties.
The two of them would sometimes sneak out for a walk together in the evening. The prosperity of Shengjing is far from that of the small Yuchuan City. Li Huaixi loves to enjoy himself when he has money in his pocket, so he must buy it every time he goes out. A bunch of things, Lin Yichen is not interested in this kind of thing, occasionally complains but never stops, he helps Li Huaixi buy whatever he buys.
The guards all changed into casual clothes and followed them from a distance, not leaning forward, seeing Lin Yichen with his hands on his shoulders, and never helping them. These people have been with Lin Yichen for many years, and they know the habits of these two talents. The two-person world is a small love affair between two people. It hurts to look at the waist and legs, but in fact, he is very sweet. If you rush to flatter, you will definitely be patted on the horse's leg. The loss outweighs the gain.
Seeing that the spring was approaching, Li Huaixi didn't go out much after entering February. Lin Yichen supervised him to complete a policy theory and a scripture post every day, and the two of them closed the door to discuss practical matters in the rest of the time.All the teahouses in Shengjing City were selling all kinds of exam questions privately. After Lin Yichen went out for a stroll, he came back and closed the door of the house. Except for the servants who bought it every day, even Lin Qing was not allowed to go out!
On the fifth day of February, four days before Chunwei, Lin Yichen submitted his written invitation to the play. Li Huaixi knew the content of the play, and it was also discussed by the two of them.According to the analysis of two people, the emperor may not have been so willing when he suddenly lifted Lin Yichen to the position of a feudal official.
The situation at that time was too tense, and the emperor had too few people who were really available under his command, otherwise it would be far-fetched for Lin Yichen to be given the position of the second-rank governor by virtue of Lin Yichen's merit alone.Today, the world is peaceful and the overall situation is stable, and the emperor has shown some signs of taking power. Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen think that it is the right time to voluntarily hand over the power in their hands at this time, so the two discussed it and wrote a bunch of high-sounding The reason was presented, Lin Yichen's figure is very low, in order to "see the sky and listen to the teachings of the sages" often, Governor Lin is willing to demote one and a half levels (it's fine if you drop too much).
After the play was sent out, the emperor did not summon Lin Yichen immediately.In the first two days, Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen looked normal, doing what they should do, but seeing the exam approaching, the unresolved matter in their hearts still made them feel a little uneasy.
Lin Yichen regretted so much that he hated that he didn't take the test when Li Huaixi took the provincial examination, so at least there would be more time, but it was useless to regret, so he had to send someone outside to grab two more medicines. Invited a famous doctor in the capital into the mansion for a walk, and if he failed to be transferred, he continued to pretend to be sick, and then tried to find a way to pretend until he could no longer pretend.
Li Huaixi watched Lin Yichen do these things, and he naturally knew what Lin Yichen thought, but he didn't say anything.On the afternoon of the seventh day of February, Lin Qing came over with a small plate of snacks and a pile of clothes to ask Li Huaixi, "My lord, try these snacks to see if they suit your appetite. If you don't like them, I'll ask them to prepare some more. In the past few days, there are also a few pastries that can be brought in. If you think our house is not good enough, I will let them go outside to buy some and come back for you to try; and these are made by the embroiderers in the house. Good clothes, you have a look at them, if there is something inappropriate, I will ask them to change it, and I will enter the venue in one day, you can tell me if there is anything else you need to prepare, turn around..."
"Put it down first," Li Huaixi interrupted him a little irritably, put the book in his hand on the table casually, and asked Lin Qing, "Is there any post sent over these two days?"
"No, it's been quite quiet at the door these two days. There are no posts. The most recent post was sent by Mr. Xu, a fellow examiner of our lord. He said he was coming to visit a doctor, but the lord said 'no wind' and returned."
"Can't see the wind?" Li Huaixi raised his eyebrows, feeling that Lin Yichen's illness was a bit outrageous, and he was more and more like confinement, but Li Huaixi still saved face for this unreliable guy in front of the servants, and asked again After a few sentences about the affairs of the mansion, Lin Qing was let out.
There was still the last day before the start of the exam. Li Huaixi looked at the beautiful spring outside the house, put down the book in his hand and walked out.
Governor Lin, who can't see the wind, is now leaning on a deck chair basking in the sun like an old man, his handsome face is calm and calm, Li Huaixi sat on his lap and he didn't open his eyes, he was still so calm Ignoring the hand that reached under the hem of Li Huaixi's clothes and rubbed vigorously, the young Governor Lin at first glance seems to be a bit of a high-spirited and upright man.
The afternoon sun was just right, and Li Huaixi squinted his eyes from the sun. He hugged Lin Yichen's neck and sighed comfortably, kissed the corner of his mouth and said, "If there is no decree passed down tomorrow, I will not end the day after tomorrow. Wait for you We’ll talk about it later when we’re transferred to Beijing.”
Lin Yichen froze his hands when he heard the words, opened his eyes and looked at Li Huaixi, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "What are you talking about? We are here with great fanfare, what if we don't end at the end?! Mr. is still waiting for you to win three yuan in a row. Firecrackers are ready!"
Li Huaixi smiled, and stretched out his hand to pinch the silly Lin Yichen, "It doesn't matter if you get the title of Huiyuan or the number one scholar early or late, you don't even care if you are in the middle school or not, and the firecrackers at home will be set off a little more when my brother gets married." It’s not worth buying, it’s okay, these are not important.”
"Not important?..." "Not important."
Lin Yichen really wanted to ask if these are not important and what is important, but he was a little embarrassed to ask, and it seemed hypocritical to ask the obvious and obvious answer. Li Huaixi in his arms was covered with a layer of golden light by the warm spring sun, facing him With a lazy smile, still full of evil spirits, Lin Yichen shook his head in this smile and closed his eyes. While continuing to move his hands, he raised the corners of his lips in the warm sunshine, and suddenly felt that what Li Huaixi said That's right, these are not important...
On the eighth day of February, Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen slept in again, and didn't wake up until the sun was high.Breakfast and lunch are combined into one meal, and it is half an hour earlier than other people's lunch.
Lin Qing once again brought up a plate of prepared snacks. Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen had already given up hope about being transferred to the capital, so they randomly selected a few pleasing ones and let Lin Qing go down. The embroiderers sewed them up. The clothes were neatly folded and placed in the closet, and Li Huaixi didn't bother to try them on. If there were no accidents, he shouldn't be able to make it this time.
Lin Yichen's sick leave is almost over. After eating, Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen began to discuss about buying some wedding gifts for Li Long in Shengjing and bringing them back, and sending them together in the name of the two. Cross Ming Road.Li Huaixi advocated giving some practical things, and Lin Yichen advocated sending things to support the scene. The two insisted on their own opinions, and their positions were very firm. Neither of them could persuade the other, and they debated non-stop for noon on this matter.
Lin Qing didn't know if the candidates in other mansions were as poor and boring as this one in his own family, and they still wanted to argue with others, and he didn't have time to smear the two masters. Since the morning, he has been doing logistics for Li Huaixi's meeting I was so busy with work, I just watched the servants in the kitchen put the hen from the farm outside into the pot, and the carriage sent by the pharmacy outside to deliver the medicinal materials had already arrived at the back door, and finally counted the medicinal materials. Said that the prepared silver frost charcoal was damp, and all kinds of chores followed one after another, and he didn't even have the time to drink saliva.
When it was almost noon, Lin Qing was finally busy with some grades. After counting the things in the test basket and making some long-lasting snacks, Lin Qing made himself a pot of tea, thinking that he could take a break , but before the hot tea was brought to his mouth, a young guard at the gate ran in in a panic, and someone from the palace came to pass the imperial decree!
Except for the master chef who cooks, including Lin Qing, the housekeeper, none of the servants in the Li family are over 20 years old. How to receive an order has never been experienced before. Everyone in the Li family was terrified. After Lin Yichen and Li Huaixisu got dressed and greeted them in a hurry, they realized that this so-called "guest from the palace" was actually a eunuch with a high-pitched voice and fine powder on his face leading several background It looks like a guard with a knife is not a formal ceremonial proclamation, and it is not an imperial decree, but the emperor's oral order-the emperor's grace, "call Lin Yichen, the governor of the six northern prefectures, and Li Huaixi, the governor of the six northern prefectures, to enter the palace together for an audience." ! '
The eunuch didn't say what the emperor was doing when he entered the palace, and he didn't reveal whether the emperor was in a good mood. Dare to delay, quickly changed clothes and entered the palace with this eunuch who smelled fragrant.
Li Huaixi bought tickets to enter the Forbidden City when he was Meng Guangqing in his previous life. At that time, he held his head up and took a lot of photos with an ultra-thin card camera. Unfortunately, he was still a gangster at that time, so he didn’t dare to take pictures of himself. Some magnificent buildings, Meng Guangqing always felt that this was a pity.Now, as a well-known figure in the world, Li Huaixi and Li Jieyuan found sadly that he was actually more aggrieved when he entered the palace this time than when he was a bandit. When he entered the palace gate, he was searched all over. Even bigger, the building is also very majestic, but the Lord is still living in it, who dares to write 'XX came here for a visit' on the wall? !
The two of them followed the fragrant eunuch Pixiu all the way to the door of a side hall with low eyebrows. There were guards guarding the door. The eunuch Pixiu said in a high-pitched voice, "Master Lin and Li Jieyuan please wait" and went in. After a while, the eunuch came out and brought the two people in. Before Li Huaixi could see that the man in the yellow robe had changed, he hurriedly kowtowed with Lin Yichen. He bit his mouth, almost screaming in pain.
Lin Yichen also grinned at the side, but the corners of his mouth were upward, and he looked a little gloating. When he knelt down, his movements were obviously slower than Li Huaixi's, and his knees were also leisurely. The advantage of being born and bred is clear at a glance.
Li Huaixi didn't have time to talk to him, so he covered his face with the wide sleeves of his long robe, and bowed to the top.
"Chen Lin Yichen sees His Majesty!"
"Student Li Huaixi sees His Majesty!"
……
The emperor did not follow up with the phrase 'Ai Qing is flat! ', after Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen finished their salutes, the entire side hall became very quiet.
There was a scent floating in the side hall, a very strange scent. Li Huaixi guessed that it might be the legendary ambergris. In such a space with the scent of ambergris, only the ticking of the western clock and The sound of someone flipping the paper behind the desk, Li Huaixi knelt down on the ground, not in a hurry, and felt a kind of oppression in a timely manner, the kind of oppression that the superior wanted to convey to him.
After a while, this oppressive feeling decreased a bit, and Li Huaixi knew that it was the emperor's eyes that had moved away from him. Li Huaixi moved without a trace, and his knees hurt a little after kneeling for a long time.He knew that the emperor deliberately wanted to embarrass the two of them, because no matter how high-sounding the reason in the request for the tune was written, and no matter how happy the emperor was with the result, in the eyes of ordinary people, Lin Yichen's behavior Some people don't know what is good and what is bad. A courtier who picks an official should always be disliked. The emperor can't show his happiness too obviously.
Li Huaixi can fully understand the ulterior and careful thinking of the feudal emperor, but his knees don't understand, and the cold and hard floor tiles hurt him.In order to relieve the pain, Li Huaixi tried his best to think of some good things. He guessed that the matter of Lin Yichen's transfer was likely to be completed, otherwise the emperor couldn't ask him to come here and kneel with Lin Yichen.
Kneeling for a long time, Li Huaixi, who is used to explaining himself, inevitably felt a bit of resentment in his heart, thinking that it is no wonder that many great time travel gods are willing to do things that destroy the world after they have traveled to ancient times. The taste is really uncomfortable. Fortunately, he has earned a knee-free waist card with his own ability. In this world, he only needs to kneel to the one above him. Otherwise, he will kneel too much. Fry this 'unequal world'.
Emperor Renwu, who had just sat firmly in the world, was a man who knew how to measure himself. He showed his majesty a little and made the two of them flat. He slapped a red date, and Emperor Renwu also gave them a seat. The reason It's 'Lin Aiqing is still sick'.
After sitting down, Li Huaixi secretly looked at the emperor behind the desk, and found that the man's appearance had not changed from when he was the prince. Compared with the prince's outfit, the emperor's clothes were brighter in color and the jewelry on his head was brighter. It is a bit more expensive, and it doesn't have much effect on the plain face of Emperor Renwu. However, this plain-looking man has a good temperament and ample momentum. He looks better than Li Huaixi when he sits behind the desk and sips tea. Any emperor I have seen on TV in my previous life is more like an emperor. Of course, in fact, Emperor Renwu is actually an emperor...
The emperor didn't know what Li Huaixi, who was respectful on the face, was masquerading in. After giving seats to the two, Emperor Renwu waved all the palace people to retreat, leaving behind only a eunuch with a paralyzed face. This eunuch was not painted, His appearance is very upright, his breath is long, and he looks like a martial arts master. It is the first time for Li Huaixi to observe the 'Zhongnanhai Bodyguard' up close. Knowing that he has nothing to do with entering the palace this time, his attention is quickly attracted. .
"Lin Aiqing, I remember that you were Tanhua Lang handpicked by the late Emperor Zhaode in 38 years, right?" The emperor put down the teacup in his hand and asked Lin Yichen with a smile.
"Return to Your Majesty, yes." Lin Yichen didn't know what the emperor was trying to trick, so he answered this sentence respectfully and didn't say any more.
"You were fifteen that year?"
"Return to Your Majesty, I just turned sixteen."
"Oh, by the way, Huaixi is fifteen this year..." The emperor said to himself as if suddenly enlightened, and called Li Huaixi "Huaixi". After a long silence, she suddenly said, "Lin Aiqing spent 10,000+ taels to buy a county magistrate that day. After eight years, Lin Aiqing has learned to be petty as a party official, so she fell into such a broken rule. If you don’t spend money, what kind of official do you want to find?”
The emperor's unreasonable play of cards surprised the two 'brothers'. No matter how hard they thought, they would never have imagined that the king of a country would do this "buying and selling officials" business. Thinking of the IOU back then, Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen looked at each other , and made a small calculation in my heart together.
After a while, Lin Yichen glanced at Li Huaixi again, and opened his mouth cautiously, "Your Majesty, although I am now the governor, my salary for this year is only 3000 taels, and I only received it once just now. Yin's salary is 300 taels, and the minister has only received it twice. Going forward, the minister has been doing trivial local orders, and the salary is only 800 taels. The humble minister was born in a merchant family, and he was arrogant and indulgent when he was young. , I accidentally developed a bad habit of spending money like water, and I haven't saved much money in the past few years as an official. Although the family's ancestral property is rich, there are many uncles, nephews, and brothers, and few of them are assigned to humble ministers. Nian has always been cautious, and ministers would never dare to do such things as buying and selling officials. Please rest assured, Your Majesty.
This time I asked to be transferred to Beijing out of selfishness. If the Holy Majesty agrees to play, I will do my best to repay the emperor's grace. If the Holy Majesty refuses, I will have no complaints. Dare to make fun of the official position of the court. "
"Selfishness?" The emperor smiled, "You are telling the truth, it sounds much more comfortable than the high-sounding ones in the brochure. Let me ask you, if I don't allow it today, can you really go back to be your governor honestly?"
"Back to the emperor, this humble minister has absolutely no false words."
"What about you?" The emperor smiled and turned to Li Huaixi who was watching.
Li Huaixi looked away from the paralyzed eunuch, stood up and saluted the emperor, and said with a smile—"The student's family is poor."
Early in the morning on the ninth day of February, Li Huaixi entered the arena carrying his test basket.
The imperial examinations in Dazhou were very rigorous, and it was even stricter at the stage of the general examination.The entrance inspection before the exam is meticulous. In order to prevent entrainment and private possession, the cakes that are brought in must be cut into small pieces; after entering the exam room, enter the dormitory according to the randomly assigned number, and do not make a sound unless there is a special reason. There is no need to look left and right in the house, and the uninterrupted inspections are also very strict, and there is no possibility of plagiarism from each other.
The early spring flowers in Shengjing City have already bloomed, but it is still very cold at night. Although it is not as terrible as Lin Yichen said that the inkstone freezes, sooner or later, Li Huaixi can still hear the southern master in the nearby house knocking his teeth. The sound of teeth.
Li Huaixi himself was not cold, he wore three layers of woolen clothes, took off two layers during the day, and put them all back on at night.Many people who entered the venue wore clothes made of the same wool material as Li Huaixi. Li Huaixi let Li Hu monopolize the wool raw material market in Da Tan. Whether these materials were produced by his 'Chenxi' woolen factory or not With his profits in it, Li Huaixi looked very happy.Sitting in the dormitory diagonally opposite Li Huaixi was a white-faced scholar wearing several layers of silk and satin. He seemed to resist these woolen clothes. Every time Li Huaixi was tossing like this, people would stare at him, but Li Huaixi didn't care. Stare back, tossing still very complacent.
Lin Qing prepared a charcoal stove and two hand stoves for him. The charcoal stove was kept on all day long by his feet. He held the slightly smaller hand stove in his arms to warm his stomach during the day, so as to avoid stomach trouble after sitting on a hard bench for a long time. He puts one of them under the quilt at night. The quilt in the dormitory is just a thick felt, which is hard and uncomfortable, and it gets very cold at night.
During the nine-day test, many people were carried out halfway, their faces were ashen, and they didn't even have the strength to cry. They looked very pitiful when they were carried out quietly.
Li Huaixi is not affected by these external factors. The old god is answering his own questions. After the last provincial examination, he cared about his body very much. He used various methods to regulate his body very well. After drinking the ginseng soup for several days, the ginseng soup boiled with high-quality wild ginseng was neither hot nor dry. After drinking it, Li Huaixi's eyes lit up, and his spirit was very good.
On February [-]th, the last day of the exam, Li Huaixi wrote the last stroke on his exam paper an hour early, rubbing his stiff arms, Li Huaixi handed in the paper with a smile, and the topic of the last current affairs was the relationship between him and Lin Yichen. After discussing it a few days ago, he hit the right button.
An hour later, all the test papers were collected, and the candidates stayed in the dormitory and could not move. In order to show fairness and justice, the academic and political officials were sealing the collected papers on the spot. In the article section, the rest of the information is not visible at all.
Li Huaixi sat in the dormitory with his chin resting on his chin and watched the actions of the academic officials. He didn't think that this would be able to achieve complete fairness and justice. Although the test papers required candidates to use block letters to answer the papers, everyone's handwriting was different. The effect of writing in block letters is also different. If the examiner who grades the paper wants to show favoritism, it is the same if he does not read the sealed part.
The chief examiner of Enke this time is a protégé of a considerable age on the right, and the two deputy examiners are protégés of the prime minister on the left. The entire Department of Academic Affairs has gathered people from all walks of life, all of whom are staring at the result of this Enke. Li Huaixi doesn't know How many people's handwriting has been filed with those Xuezheng, but he knows that these people must have memorized his handwriting-he and Lin Yichen were sent back to the mansion in the palace carriage on the eighth day of February. Before he got home, the news had already spread throughout Shengjing.
After the examination papers were sealed, the gate of the Tribute Academy was opened, and the examinees were allowed to leave.There was a crowd of people at the gate, and people kept calling the names of candidates who were going out one after another. Li Huaixi had just stepped out of the threshold of the tribute courtyard when he was hugged by Lin Yichen who was guarding the gate, and his bones ached from being strangled.
The high-intensity mental work for nine consecutive days made many candidates pass out as soon as they left the gate of the tribute college. Compared with those classmates who took the exam with a disheveled face, Li Huaixi was actually in quite good condition, but Lin Yichen was still worried, so he poured it into him in the carriage A bowl of ginseng soup, Lin Yichen didn't ask Li Huaixi how he did in the exam, but both of them knew that Lin Yichen sold it to the emperor's family at the age of 16, and Li Huaixi did the same!
Li Huaixi successfully completed the examination, and Lin Yichen's sick leave was over. The emperor asked Lin Yichen to go back to Yuchuan before the end of February. Spring plowing and spring floods in the north are about to begin. Lin Yichen is well-versed in government affairs. If someone comes to replace him, Lin Yichen must persist until the end of June before resigning.
This transfer was successful, Li Huaixi and Lin Yichen really ran into each other by mistake, their previous guess was a bit of a villain, in fact, if Lin Yichen didn't get the booklet for the transfer, Emperor Renwu really didn't plan to replace him.As an emperor who manages many things every day, he has too many things to worry about. After the business with Datan, there has been nothing to make him feel bad about the borders of the six northern prefectures. Emperor Renwu really forgot who is in such an important large area No matter, Lin Yichen's governor is very good, and he is so dedicated to sharing the worries of the king that the emperor has almost forgotten him.
When Lin Yichen's request was submitted, the emperor was a little confused, so it took a lot of effort to understand the ins and outs of the matter. During this period, many ministers who were rejected by Lin Yichen, like Emperor Renwu, said that Lin Yichen was arrogant and so on. Wait, but Emperor Renwu is a very wise emperor, these suggestions did not play their due role.
As an emperor, Emperor Renwu's thinking direction is completely different from that of ordinary people. The party struggle among the ministers in the court is intensifying. At this time, Lin Yichen applied to be transferred to Beijing as an official. It can inject new blood, but a scholar like Li Huaixi who has just entered the official position will have to take a few more years before he can take on important responsibilities. Lin Yichen is different from them in this regard. This is a sharpened knife that can be used when you pick it up. It is perfect for cutting cancerous tumors in the court.
As for the relationship between Lin Yichen and Li Huaixi, which is difficult to talk about in the eyes of ordinary people, Li Huaixi guesses that in the eyes of the emperor, this may be a good thing that can wake up from a dream. , Even an official position like the emperor of the earth can be lost as soon as he says it, so where can he find such a worthless minister? !
67. Storm
When the development of a matter has been predicted in advance, no matter how brilliant the result is, it will not make people feel very excited, so people who are particularly smart will generally feel that life is very boring. This is the case for Li Huaixi at this time, Of course, he's not a particularly smart person, just slightly smarter than the average person.
On the tenth day after Lin Yichen left Beijing, Li Huaixi received the good news from Huiyuan, a senior high school. The joy of being one step closer to his goal only supported his excitement for two days. , this little excitement is exhausted.
For the rest of the time, Li Huaixi continued to live his previous life, reading books and drinking tea every day, but Lin Yichen was missing from his side, which still made him feel a little unaccustomed and felt that there was a fly in the ointment.
What is even more unaccustomed to him is Lin Yichen who is far away in Yuchuan. Every three days, Li Huaixi will receive a long letter from Lin Yichen. There is no specific content in it, except for describing some daily life that makes people blush. Love words, the more and more limitless governor-general used his crazy fonts that are respected by the world, describing his suffering years of being alone and sleepless with the five-finger brothers, and when it comes to emotion, he must Attach one or two small poems to enhance the atmosphere.
Back in the day when I was preparing for the college examination, Li Huaixi wrote a few sentimental love letters to Lin Yichen in order to prevent his poems from being too sharp. Naturally, he also wrote a few small poems in them. At that time, Lin Yichen was still rational and laughed at In the past, Li Huaixi was possessed by a demon fox and had a toothache, but now that Feng Shui has changed, Governor Lin suddenly replaced Li Huaixi to shine in the world of love poetry. ’ On the same level, the hearty bed and curtain battle is Governor Lin’s favorite theme to describe now.
Governor Lin, who lost his virginity too late, loves bed\things far more than other men of the same age in the Zhou Dynasty. However, Governor Lin's love is only expressed between the lines. Dare, even if Li Huaixi took the initiative to ask for sex, he would have to console him again and again before he dared to take off his clothes. Lin Yichen still loved Lin Yichen at the top of his heart when he was young, and he didn't want to leave even a trace of harm.
When the peach blossoms bloomed in March, the letter sent by Governor Lin added new content. In addition to the super-large love poems and words, the envelope also contained dried flower petals, and the letter paper was also incensed. He has improved a lot. Even though Li Huaixi is a time traveler and has seen many erotic movies, but he is not as thick-skinned as this local person, and now he can only bow down.
Lin Yichen not only "kept writing", but also asked Li Huaixi to reply to the letter. Although he did not explicitly require Li Huaixi to be as flirtatious as him, the meaning between the lines was undoubtedly revealed.
As of mid-to-late March, Li Huaixi had owed Lin Yichen three replies in just over 20 days. He couldn't add things like how many times he went to the toilet every day to make up the number. After Lin Yichen left, Li Huaixi The door is still closed, and the life is as ordinary as water. Li Huaixi feels that he really has nothing to write about.
Lin Yichen is easy to talk, and after a small complaint, he lowered his standards. He didn't want Li Huaixi to be as romantic as him, but just asked Li Huaixi to tell him whether his daily life was good or not. I can't laugh or cry.
In fact, Li Huaixi has no experience in such things as falling in love. He lived too short and busy in his previous life. It's just thanks to the few love action movies he watched in his previous life. He really doesn't know what the performance of people who are really in love is.
Li Huaixi sometimes suspects that Lin Yichen is actually crazy under his seemingly normal appearance. The rogue county magistrate who had a hippie smile on the surface was very arrogant in his bones. !He wanted to ignore this lunatic, but he was afraid that Governor Lin would go mad and rush to Shengjing. Finally, in desperation, Li Huaixi followed Lin Yichen's plea, wrote some journal accounts and sent them out together with a few recent policy theories. , As for whether Lin Yichen is really satisfied after receiving the reply, he can't control it. Li Huiyuan's romantic cells are exhausted, and he really can't hold back too much "graceful".
After writing the letter to Lin Yichen, Li Huaixi wrote another letter from home. During the Chinese New Year, Li Chengkui discussed with his brothers and planned to buy more land for rent.At that time, Li Huaixi was thinking about the exam and didn't listen carefully. These days, he had a little more leisure, and when he thought about it, he still felt a little inappropriate.Jin County is rich and poor, and there are not many people renting land to farm, and their family members are not as good at farming as uncle Li Chengxiao's family. Even his father Li Chengkui himself is not sure how much different crops can be harvested per mu. Therefore, Li Huaixi is more inclined to set up a few shops in the city to collect rent. He and Li Hu are familiar with these things, at least it is better than land drought and flood.
Along with the love letter to Lin Yichen, the family letter was sent out through the official post station with Governor Lin's privilege. The ten mu of land has been rented out now. Li Chengkui and Li Chengxiao discussed how much rent to charge, so Li Huaixi doesn't have to worry.
The family originally planned to buy [-] mu of land, but they stopped buying after receiving Li Huaixi's letter. The remaining money was going to let Li Hu buy two shops in Yuchuan, and Jin County also planned to buy one, and kept it for selling bacon at home. .The eldest son of the second uncle's family can't study well, and he has also transferred to a business. The apprentices outside are not easy to do, so he can help Li Chengkui look after the shop first.
Tomb-sweeping day is coming soon, Li Chengkui told Li Huaixi not to forget to burn paper for the deceased relatives in the letter, fearing that Li Huaixi would not understand, he also said a lot of precautions in the letter, even how to choose the place to burn paper.
The letter was written by Li Sisi, the little girl at home, who bullied Li Chengkui for being illiterate.
