Lin Lang, the wood family of the Red Chamber

The two guys, who were like birds released from the cage, forcibly made a half-month trip out of two months.

By the time Tu Yang and Mu Linlang arrived in Gusu, it was already mid-April.At this time, Jiangnan is already in the season when flowers are blooming, willows are green, and grass is growing and warblers are flying. A piece of spring beauty in Jiangnan is coming.

Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once said in a poem: Jiangnan is beautiful, and the scenery is old and familiar.At sunrise, the river flowers are more red than fire, and in spring, the river water is as green as blue.Can you not remember Jiangnan?

The two of them also grew up in Jiangnan.Now that I revisit the old place, I feel a little sigh.

The ancestral hall of the Lin family is in Suzhou, not far from Gusu Lingyin Temple.After Mu Linlang's biological mother, Mu Wanqiu, was helped to become Lin Hai's successor, her grave was also moved to the Lin family's ancestral grave, and the tablet was also placed in the Lin family's ancestral hall.

Originally, Mu Linlang was very disdainful of this behavior that could be called an afterthought, but at that time Mu Qing said that it would be good for his mother to enter the ancestral hall and enjoy the incense offerings from the descendants of the Lin family.If it wasn't for this, Mu Linlang would never have asked someone to move his birth mother's memorial tablet here.

At this time, Mu Linlang and Tu Yang, accompanied by Lin Tao, the patriarch of the Lin clan, came to the Lin family ancestral hall to worship their biological mother.

Lin Tao is a middle-aged man in his 40s, who can be regarded as Lin Hai's younger brother, with a handsome and gentle appearance.The head of the Lin family was born in a side branch of the Lin family. This branch has always controlled the Lin family. The previous Lin family was also the family of Liehou, which was extremely influential on the ground in Gusu. Later, Lin Hai became an official through the imperial examination. He has achieved the high position of Yangzhou patrol salt censor, and now he is in charge of the official department, so Lin Tao has some energy in the boundary of Suzhou.This patriarch Lin didn't like reading in his early years, but he liked to associate with scholars very much. With his perennial arty, he has gained a good reputation, and many people are willing to associate with him.

However, Mu Linlang felt displeased with this clan uncle as soon as they met. Mu Linlang, who entered the prefecture level, lit up a talent skill, that is foresight!This skill is incredible, although Mu Qing can also divination the future, but compared to Mu Linlang, it is nothing compared to Mu Linlang.Mu Linlang can even predict what will happen a year later. Of course, such a sky-defying skill consumes a lot, which makes Mu Linlang dare not use this skill easily.

Now in his perception, Lin Tao is that kind of hypocrite, and even his pets don't like him very much.

His Uncle Mu always said that the intuition of animals is the most powerful, and people can't escape their perception whether they have good intentions or malicious intentions towards them.Therefore, the little fox who followed him told Mu Linlang directly that he didn't like Lin Tao, so Mu Linlang's nose was not his nose and his eyes were not eyes to Lin Tao.

However, this is his territory after all, and Lin Tao didn't fall into his hands at this time, and Mu Linlang couldn't just dismiss people casually, so he could only endure Lin Tao's flattering behavior from time to time, and only wanted to finish the worship quickly Dead mother, it's better to get out of here sooner.

After worshiping his biological mother step by step, more than ten years have passed, and Mu Linlang has many things he wants to say to his mother.Although Mu Wanqiu only accompanied Mu Linlang for a short two years, it laid a solid foundation for him. Maybe it was because she felt that she was not long in the world, and Mu Wanqiu back then didn't care whether Mu Linlang could understand or not. She just told the little Mu Linlang all the experiences she could think of in dealing with people.Fortunately, Mu Linlang did not disappoint her efforts and lived out his own splendor in this world.

Coming here today, what Mu Linlang wanted to do the most was to introduce Tu Yang to his mother, after all, this was the person who wanted to spend the rest of his life hand in hand with him.

Taking Tu Yang's hand, Mu Linlang said softly: "Mother, he is the fourth brother, his surname is Tu Yang, and he is my fiancé. After this trip to the south of the Yangtze River is over, we will get married when we return to the capital." Oh, it's the kind of marriage that the media is marrying. The date of the marriage was chosen by the uncle. He is very satisfied with our marriage. Mother, you can rest assured!" Although Mu Linlang was talking with a smile, her eyes were already moist Tu Yang habitually took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Mu Linlang smiled at Tu Yang, maybe it's been on his mind for many years, now Mu Linlang looks a little more relaxed than before, and looks more bright and attractive, Tu Yang's heart is burning hot. endlessly.

These two people are at an extremely impulsive age. Although they have practiced martial arts and their control is much stronger than others, it is inevitable that the two guys who often hang out will sometimes go off.In order to be afraid that these two boys would do something wrong and lose his old face, Mu Qing had already planned ahead, and took two ignorant guys to observe the scene, and called it "adult" "Li"...so some things that should be done have already been done.It's a pity that the right time, place and people are the same, so Tu Yang can only stare blankly.

Seeing that Mu Linlang had finished worshiping, Lin Tao immediately put on a flattering smile and approached him: "You two princes, the younger one booked a table at 'Yipinxuan', and invited a few people who are in the area of ​​Gusu. A person with a head and face is welcoming the two masters, you see, it's getting late now, why don't the two masters move and let's go have dinner?"

Mu Linlang took a look at him and smiled, "Thank you, Patriarch, for your kind invitation. It's just that this king and Prince Rui have important things to do in addition to worshiping their late mother this time. Let’s talk about it later.”

After finishing speaking, regardless of the ugly expression on Lin Tao's face, he and Tu Yang left the Lin's ancestral hall with the hidden guards and servants.

"It's no wonder that Lord Lin would say that you should change the patriarch. This Patriarch Lin Tao Lin is not a good person." Tu Yang frowned. Fortunately, Lang'er's surname was Mu. The biological mother thought that with Mu Linlang's personality, it was impossible to enter the Lin family's ancestral hall no matter what, "What are you going to do to fund the Lin family's children? Take out the money and let those guys from the Lin family do it? If I think right, I’m afraid that the money is like meat buns and dogs, and it will never return. The money that can really be used for those in need is probably less than one in a hundred.”

"Why didn't I think of what you were thinking? Since I want to do it, of course I want to do my best. As the saying goes, 'Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish'. We can't live here for a long time, so we have to think of a perfect plan That's fine." Mu Linlang shook her head.

"That's exactly what you said. Seeing the appearance of Lin Tao and the so-called elders of the Lin family, it is impossible to really use the money for those who need support. Then what are your plans?"

"When I came here, my uncle once told me that since we want to support the children of the Lin family, it is better to expand the scope and directly set up an academy to recruit more disciples. In the academy, not only the four books and five classics and other imperial examination books are taught, but also Teaching some agricultural and industrial skills, as well as medical skills and martial arts, only depends on the aptitude of each student. I thought about it, and there is a lot to do in this matter. After all, there are so many people in Dazhou, it is impossible for everyone to study hard and take the exam. Let's take the imperial examination! In that case, no one can do the farming and craftsmanship of our Dazhou. And according to the uncle's meaning, he wants to open up the people's wisdom, so that the people can also be literate and have a skill. By the way, teach them some Simple nine-chapter arithmetic. Therefore, what we have to do now is to find a suitable land and build an academy."

"However, if the wisdom of the people is opened, I'm afraid it will be difficult to govern in the future!" As a prince, Tu Yang understands that once the wisdom of the people is opened, it is a bit too risky for the royal family of the Tu family. Although he has blind trust in his master, But now it is a major matter related to the country, and he dare not make fun of it.

Mu Linlang shook his head, "Since uncle will bring up this point, he naturally has his solution. Everything that uncle has done over the years, which one is not justified? Let's not talk about it, let's just talk about this year At the beginning of the year, the uncle advocated expelling the Japanese, and even let the soldiers of the navy fight to the Japanese country. At the beginning, we were also at a loss when the court officials impeached us? What is going on now? Who would have thought that There is such a huge mountain of silver in a small Japanese country! That is a mountain of silver!"

"Since that's the case, let's find a suitable place to open an academy first." Tu Yang was right when he thought about it, his master's unconstrained ideas were often unbelievable at the beginning, but they were actually implemented. , but it makes people feel amazing. Many things that I couldn't understand or implement in the past have all been solved.Gradually, when Mu Qing put forward some seemingly impossible or ridiculous opinions, except for those stubborn old guys, no one else in the court had any voice to refute.

In the next few days, Mu Linlang and Tu Yang spent time traveling around.Since we want to open an academy, of course we can't just focus on Gusu.In Mu Qing's thinking, it is best for this academy to be the largest and most comprehensive comprehensive academy in the south of Dazhou (this is Mu Qing's original words at the time).Therefore, during this period of time, these two young and promising princes took advantage of this opportunity to stir up wind and rain in the Jiangnan boundary, and everyone still had nothing to do with them.

All of a sudden, the official circles in various places in the south of the Yangtze River "changed their faces when they heard about the king". Nowadays, among the people in the south of the Yangtze River, who doesn't know that the favorite thing for these two high-ranking princes is to fight for justice?What I like most is to find out those Shuoshu hiding in the government.

Apart from being chivalrous and righteous, the two also did not forget to look for suitable talents to be the teachers of the academy.Not to mention, I don't know if the two of them were really lucky, or what, the two people stirred up the situation so much, it really made them find a lot of talents hidden in the folk.

Every time they found a hermit, Mu Linlang and Tu Yang always invited them with the greatest sincerity.Many of those people were very interested in Mu Qing's proposal to open up people's wisdom, so quite a few people were willing to go out.Although, there seems to be no shadow of the academy they are talking about...

Since ancient times, the style of writing in Jiangnan has been prevalent in every imperial examination. Students from Jiangnan always receive the attention of the officials in the court. Often, among these people, there will be a talented person like Sandingjia, such as the one that just ended last year. Chunwei, the number one scholar and Tanhua were born in Jinling and Yangzhou.

There are many famous academies in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Yuelu Academy, Bailudong Academy, etc. There are countless students from these academies every year.Now that Mu Linlang wants to establish an academy here, one can imagine the difficulty.

However, these two people's identities are extraordinary after all, and things that others can't do, don't seem to be very difficult for the two of them.

The two blissful guys had fun in Jiangnan, completely forgetting about the people and things in the capital.They are happy, but today in the capital is not happy. The so-called transition from extravagance to frugality is difficult. Now that he has lived a happy life for a few years, now let him live a life of getting up early every day and going to bed later than a dog. One can imagine how to be happy today?

The officials in the capital have recently clearly felt that their emperor's temper is good.Mu Qing knew that if those two boys didn't come back, he was afraid that they would go to the south of the Yangtze River to snatch those two boys back.

Shaking his head, Mu Qing put the letter paper full of words in his hand into the envelope, sealed it with wax paint, and found Tu Yang's "Jiawei" Jia Er, handed the letter to him, and asked him to deliver it to Gusu himself , Hand it over to those two guys who are reluctant to leave.
