Jinyu of the Red Chamber

"You have no objection to being a good father with Lord Ye, but you must be cautious. Although Lord Ye is worthy of your senior brother, he is a noble man after all, so don't be presumptuous." Lin Ruhai thought about the actions of Lord Ye in recent years, Presumably he valued Jinyu very much.

Lin Jinyu nodded, and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, my son knows that there are taboos in dealing with Lord Ye on weekdays."

"I think Lord Ye should have told you that Lord Long Live intends to appoint his father as the chief examiner of this subject!" Lin Ruhai glanced at Lin Jinyu with a half-smile.

Lin Jinyu smiled, nodded and said, "Prince Ye said that Long Live Lord has this intention, but he has never heard of it from his father."

Lin Ruhai sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Today, Lord Long Live talked to me about this in private, but I resigned."

Lin Jinyu looked at Lin Ruhai in surprise. It is needless to say how the emperor has reused his father in the past few years. If his father is the chief examiner of this subject, it will be like Prince Ye said. He will definitely enter the cabinet next year and have a bright future. Is it possible that his father will give up because of himself? of?

"Father doesn't need to avoid suspicion because of me. The future is important. I can wait for three years." Although she was unwilling, Lin Jinyu couldn't make fun of Lin Ruhai's future.

"I have been an official in the court for so many years, and I don't care about waiting for three more years. Now is the time when the Lord Long Live values ​​young talents. You must not miss it. If you can't enter the top three this time, you will have to wait for six years. Because the emperor will definitely appoint me as the chief examiner for the next exam." Lin Ruhai was also desperate, on the way back home he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided not to let Jinyu wait for three years, the changes in the three years are too great, he can't I'm sure if Jinyu's determination will be shaken if he waits for three years, because people's patience is not endless, especially for an ambitious person. What's more, he has great confidence in Jinyu. Definitely going to high school.

Lin Jinyu understood what Lin Ruhai meant. Although there was a precedent before, the second place in the previous session was the nephew of the deputy chief examiner, but after all, he was Lin Ruhai's parent and son. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, it was necessary to avoid suspicion. In Ke Dezhong, he avoided suspicion and gave up the chance to be promoted. If he can't win the championship this time, he can only wait for six years as his father said. Things are changing rapidly, and no one can predict what will happen in six years, not to mention whether he can afford to wait for these six years, even in front of his father and husband, he has no face to face.

"I understand, just rest assured, father, Jinyu will definitely not disappoint your expectations, nor will she humiliate her ancestors."

Lin Ruhai nodded calmly, and his tone softened: "You have always been a worry-free person, and you have made great progress in your knowledge in the past few years. Sometimes you can see some things in court more thoroughly than your father. There are just a few words, but I want to tell you well, as an official, it doesn't matter if you are a pure minister or a powerful minister, but you must not be a treacherous person or do things that endanger the people. Although the most insignificant thing in the officialdom is means , you can have the heart to guard against others, but you can't have the heart to harm others. If you learn to be a treacherous person, seek selfishness, and exclude dissidents, let alone the emperor can't forgive you, even if you are a father, you will personally I'll break your legs and force you to come before the emperor to plead guilty." Lin Ruhai showed a bit of sternness in his words, Jinyu's intelligence, he praised and sighed, although he was his own son, he could say with conscience, in his eyes Jinyu, however, showed signs of being a treacherous minister. Jinyu had always shown others to be as gentle as jade, but as a father, he knew that this child had a bit of evil spirit in his bones, and there was only a thin line between the powerful minister and the treacherous minister. After all, if you do well, you will be a powerful minister, if you don't do well, you will be a traitor in the mouth of the people, and you will be cast aside by everyone.

Lin Jinyu straightened his face. Although he was extremely ambitious, he understood that he was carrying a family on his shoulders, and he could not act willfully and only for his own happiness. Since he was Lin Ruhai's son in this generation, he had to take on the responsibility of being a son.

"Jinyu understands that she will never do anything to defile the Lin family. The Lin family has been clean for several generations, and it will definitely not be ruined by the child. Jinyu dare not say that as a minister, she is spotless and has a clean sleeve, but she must think twice before acting."

Lin Ruhai was very relieved, Jinyu has always been a smart person, he can say this, he shows that he knows the way to be an official, even Lin Ruhai himself, dare not say that the two have a clean hand, in Lin Ruhai's opinion, it is Officials are not afraid of you being greedy, but afraid of being greedy.

Seeing Lin Jinyu's order, Lin Ruhai didn't say much anymore, and only asked Lin Jinyu to do a few test questions. When Lin Jinyu finished, he picked up the book and read it carefully, with a faint smile on his lips from time to time.

Lin Jinyu has always been good at observing words and expressions, and seeing Lin Ruhai's expression, he can tell that he is very satisfied with his answers.

As a father, of course, Lin Ruhai couldn't praise Lin Jinyu in front of his son, so as not to make him proud. He glanced at Lin Jinyu with a three-point smile in his eyes, and Lin Ruhai said calmly: "Go out and study! Tomorrow I have time to test your homework for my father."

Lin Jinyu responded lightly, saluted respectfully, and then exited the study.

As the day of the examination drew nearer, even Lin Jinyu felt a little nervous, and the servants of Lin's mansion lowered their footsteps, for fear of disturbing Lin Jinyu.

But on this day, Ningguo Mansion came to post, and it was not a happy event.

During these days, because Lin Jinyu was busy with homework, Lin Daiyu took care of all the affairs in the mansion. First, he really couldn't get away, and second, he wanted to let Daiyu have a good experience. It's for the housekeeper, so it's better to learn a lesson now, so as not to be in a hurry in the future.

Lin Daiyu frowned when she read the post. In the past few years, the Lin Mansion and Jia Mansion have not moved around as frequently as before, let alone the Ningguo Mansion. She is very good, thinking of herself in everything, but for the sake of her brother, she still doesn't want to get too close to the Jia family, so as not to hurt her brother in the future.

"Girl, the Ningguo Mansion has not had much contact with our mansion in the past, why did you post today?" Buyue asked softly, with displeasure in her eyes, the test is about to start, and she picked this time to disturb the uncle and Girl, I really have no eyesight.

Lin Daiyu sighed softly: "I think there is something wrong." Having said that, Lin Daiyu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, thinking that her elder brother's elder brother and elder brother were always on good terms, but these days they never met each other. If there is anything new, it is also sent by someone. I am afraid that it will delay my brother's study, but the Ningguo Mansion is also a relative of his own family. It is such a time that it is difficult for her to say anything about maintaining it. Open the post After seeing it, Lin Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, and then she was furious. She slapped the post on the table and said coldly, "I don't know what it means."

Seeing Lin Daiyu's face change, Buyue was also surprised, her girl has always been good-natured and never gets angry easily, what kind of post is this Ningguo Mansion posting that can make the girl change her face.

"Go to my brother's place to see if he is reviewing the book now. If he is reviewing the book, don't bother him. If not, please invite him over." This is also the first time for Lin Daiyu to experience this, so she can't make up her mind for a while. Thinking about it, Lin Jinyu immediately thought of it. I have to say that after being doted on by Lin Jinyu for so many years, Lin Daiyu has indeed developed the habit of looking for her brother when she has something to do.

Buyue got the order, so she went to Lin Jinyu's yard, and saw Lin Jinyu's two servants were waiting outside the study, so she knew that the uncle must be studying, so she turned around and went back to report to the girl, but she didn't think that this auspiciousness came out The voice caught herself, and she had to stop.

"Sister Buyue, please wait, the uncle has ordered, if anyone comes to the girl's yard, just go back to the uncle."

Buyue smiled and nodded: "The girl said that if the uncle is studying, you don't have to bother me. You guys are quick to talk, I'm afraid the uncle won't know that I'm here."

After a while, Lin Jinyu came out, saw Buyue and asked, "But what's the matter with sister?"

Buyue blessed Fushen, and replied: "Just now the Ningguo Mansion sent a post, and the girl was angry when she saw it, and I don't know what was written in that post."

Lin Jinyu raised her eyebrows, Ningguo Mansion?My family has never had much contact with Ningguo Mansion, so why post at this time?While thinking, Lin Jinyu quickened his pace and arrived at Lin Daiyu's yard.

As soon as Lin Daiyu saw Lin Jinyu coming, she said first, "I shouldn't have bothered my brother at this time, but this Ningguo Mansion really doesn't know what to do, and I don't know what to do, so I can only ask my brother to come and give me an idea."

Lin Jinyu picked up the post and looked at it. She really couldn't laugh or cry. Grandma Rong from the Ningguo Mansion went there. It was originally a relative, and this post was correct. A relative, a junior from the Lin Mansion went to it. It can be said, but the key point is that there is no one of the same generation as Jia Rong in the Lin family. Grandma Rong is Jia Rong's wife, and Jia Rong is the younger generation of herself and Daiyu, but this post is still sent to her father. Could it be that the Ningguo Mansion wanted all the people of the Lin Mansion to pay respects to a junior?

"This Ningguo Mansion is really a deception. What do they think of the Lin Mansion? And what do they think of their father?" Lin Daiyu frowned. It turned out that she had only lived in Jia's Mansion for a year, and she also found that Jia's Mansion was acting improperly. It turned out that the Ningguo Mansion did not give way too much.

Lin Jinyu smiled faintly: "If you get angry with them, you won't be afraid of hurting yourself. Since Grandma Rong is gone, I'll just go to Ningguo Mansion to show my face on the last day."

"What are you going to do, they are not afraid of letting their grandma lose their blessings." Lin Daiyu stared, full of anger, and her words were like knives. I don't blame Lin Daiyu for being so annoyed, she will try There are only a few days left, and they still send such a post at this time, not to mention the bad luck, could it be that they still want their brother to go and salute a junior?

"Look, look, this idea is worth it. If you don't like it, let's not go, just send someone to meet the occasion." Lin Jinyu said softly, afraid that Lin Daiyu would get angry, But his heart is very warm, because he knows that most of the reason why Daiyu is so angry is because of himself. It's unlucky.

"The family's relatives don't say they are helping, but they don't find trouble for others like this. The test is coming soon, how can they not know? It turns out that a junior has gone, and there is a saying that they alarmed the elders before the third time. They happened to be early. I handed over the post because I wanted to make arrangements for that? Who would be bad luck? I don’t believe that Uncle and the others are in the Ningguo Mansion right now.” Lin Jinyu guessed Lin Daiyu’s thoughts correctly, she was very serious about Lin Jinyu’s meeting this time, and also Knowing her father's expectations for her elder brother, she naturally didn't want other things to disturb her elder brother, and in her opinion, it is unlucky to die from a serious illness, and her elder brother will try it soon, so these things are the most taboo, and Lin The mansion and the Ningguo mansion are only slightly related. They are from the Lin family, and they are not surnamed Jia. There is no reason why they send posts to others before they meet. unlucky?The more Lin Daiyu thought about it, the angrier she became, and her eyes turned red.

"Don't cry, don't cry, you are a big girl, there is no reason to shed tears, you should know that the tears of your daughter's family are the most precious, if it is because of someone else, it is worth more, besides, your brother and I Lucky star shines brightly, this idea will not affect me." Lin Jinyu persuaded softly, took the handkerchief that Buyue handed over, wanted to wipe Lin Daiyu's tears, but also tabooed that Lin Daiyu was no longer a child, but a brother and sister It is also necessary to have some defense between men and women.

Lin Daiyu bit her lower lip, nodded, wiped the corners of her eyes lightly with a handkerchief, choked up and said, "Anyway, you are not allowed to go, after the third meeting is over, sending someone to go is also doing our courtesy."

"You should listen to my sister." Lin Jinyu chuckled, and coaxed Lin Daiyu a few words in a low voice, and then she was relieved.
