The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

Tu Cai made the wrong hand.Xiao Jiu, you and I have been brothers for many years, so don't take these things to heart. "As he spoke, he vowed again, "This time, the second brother is sorry for you. If you like something in the future, just tell the second brother!" "

A disagreement would cost someone's life, but Ji Lu didn't take it seriously, and said I'm sorry lightly, so that others would not take it to heart.

Ji Wen's teeth were itching with hatred, but he still had to put on a moved and terrified look: "Where is the second brother, let alone the brotherhood between you and me these years, without the second brother, how would there be today's Ji Wen? Even the kindness of the second elder brother these years, Xuanche will never end in his next life, so why would he harbor any resentment in his heart?"

As he spoke, he showed a bit of indignation, "There is only one thing, but my brother is very angry. What kind of relationship between me and my second brother have been in these years, how can others compare to it? Why is the second brother just because of an outsider? With a few words, he doubted his own younger brother, would rather believe in the villain's tricks, but would not listen to Xuan Che's words?"

When he mentioned Liumeixu in his words, he showed a disgusted look.At first glance, it really looks like the worry and resentment of an outspoken and admonishing official when he sees that the lord is partial to sycophants.

Seeing him mentioning Liumeixu, the prince's face also showed two expressions of unnaturalness.It's just that everyone has let go of the word today that Liumeixu will be dealt with, and he is also happy to settle in front of Ji Wen: "Liumeixu is a foreign minister, how can it compare to Xiao Jiu's weight? It's just a few days ago It's all just bewitched by him. If you are really angry, Xiaojiu, Gu Ming'er will get mad at him. You are now in a weak body, and it is time to recuperate. It is not worth getting angry about such things. Gu just came in to see you When reading, those things that bother you should read less."

Anyway, Liu Meixu couldn't keep it, no matter how reluctant Ji Lu was, it was useless, he might as well think about how to hold on to the one in front of him.

As expected, Ji Wen cooperated and made a moved expression. He seemed a little unable to believe his brother's favoritism and concern, blushed slightly and said: "I was just talking, Liumeixu belongs to the second brother, so naturally It was handled by the second brother. It’s just that these days are really boring, and there’s not much to relieve the boredom. It’s a must to read two idle books, and it’s right to be a pastime.”

Hearing him complaining about being bored, the prince quickly laughed and said: "You are still a child at heart, and you can't live without playing for a while. Gu remembers a pair of rare white birds brought up by Qianxiang girl from the state a few days ago. The Taifu can't name it either. It's just that this little thing can talk and play with a small flag, which is the most amusing. If you are alone for a while, someone will send it to you to amuse you. It's too late for these troublesome troubles. Throw it away."

Since the prince wanted to play a good brother, Ji Wen naturally had to cooperate.After thanking them with a thousand thanks, the two talked respectfully for a long time.From a distance, he really looks like a good brother.

After seeing off the prince, Ji Wen was bored staring at the top of the tent, lost in thought. Now he is trapped in the palace, and the injuries on his body will not heal in a short while. For such a long time, there is not even a person to send the news. He was really worried about the situation outside the palace.

It's just that Ji Wen also understood that he was injured because of the prince, even if Jinshang's partiality was indeed in the armpit, he was still Jinshang's own flesh and blood.Now that he has suffered a lot of grievances, in order to appease the resentment in his heart, he will naturally express something to him.

As a poor child who has never felt his father's love since he was a child, he not only expressed his indifference to Jinshang's favoritism to His Highness Dun County King again, but also enthusiastically planned how to make Jinshang's compensation more beneficial to him.

It has to be said that the brain circuits of the two people inside and outside the palace once again reached an astonishing consensus, and they both calculated this incident in Yuqing Palace.It's just that Ji Wen only thought of how to profit from it, but Lin Chen simply got involved with the prince.

I can't complain that today I have to cover up this matter strictly. In fact, as long as this matter is revealed, Ji Lu's position as the crown prince will really be unstable--a man who treats his own brother in the palace The prince who murdered... Who would dare to serve such a master?

It's just that this person who spread the news really gave Lin Chen a headache...

54 chapter

Although the former government has been turbulent these days, no one dares to be vague about matters related to Guozuo such as the imperial examination, and the Ministry of Rites is still operating in an orderly manner.

Although Lin Haizhuang and You two said that they didn't care if Lin Chen passed the exam, they really hoped that he would win the first place in one fell swoop.

Therefore, on the day when the list was released, the servants of the Linfuzhuang Mansion were still there early, waiting to see Uncle Lin's name on the list and return to the mansion to ask for a generous reward.

Lin Chen also got up early today, Tete came to the main room and had breakfast with Lin Hai.Because Lin Hai was taking a rest, the father and daughter (Note [-]) stayed together in the hall, waiting for the messenger to come back.

Lin Chen silently showed Lin Hai and Zhuang You the few stereotyped essays he had made in the examination room early on, and he had some confidence in his mind.Therefore, he was not as uneasy as other candidates, and even played with a suet jade buckle presented by Ji Wen on his own.

Daiyu saw that he was calm and composed, so she laughed and joked: "I see that my brother has a plan in his chest, so I think he will be able to win the prize in the toad palace and win the first place in one fell swoop."

Before Lin Chen could answer, Lin Hai lightly stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Those articles are quite ingenious in conception, and they can be considered smooth from beginning to end. If there is no accident, there is still a second list."

The last time I saw Lin Chen's test-taking essay, he hadn't said it so deadly. Now hearing what he said, the examiner must have given him a pass in advance, telling him that Lin Chen was already on the list, but the ranking is still unknown.

Just as I was talking at this moment, Shi Yan's beaming and panting voice came from outside: "Congratulations to the master, the uncle, and the eldest girl. The uncle has now won the No. 9 tribute in the second list. Congratulations to the master, the uncle, and the eldest girl." Already!"

The maids and women from outside also rushed in, congratulating the three masters beamingly.

It seemed that he did not expect Lin Chen to have such a good ranking, Lin Hai was also overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "A reward of 50 taels of silver for the servant inkstone, three months of monthly money for everyone in the whole family, and two sets of new clothes for each !"

Daiyu also went forward to salute Lin Chen, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, brother, congratulations to brother. When my brother orders Hanlin, our family will produce another Wenqu star."

Lin Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and kowtowed to Lin Hai before returning to his seat.

Lin Hai forced him to encourage him with a sullen face, and said: "Although you have passed the exam now, don't forget to work hard. You must know that next month will be the palace exam. Mr. Zhuang's family should prepare a gift. It's up to Yu'er, forget it, or I will prepare it myself."

As he spoke, he was not without ambition and said complacently, "You came in ninth at a young age, so maybe the sage would appreciate your talents during the palace examination, and your ranking will move up a bit."

In the evening, Lin Hai's colleagues naturally came to congratulate him with gifts, and the gifts from Rongguo Mansion also arrived early. For three consecutive days, the entire Lin Mansion was full of excitement.

It's just that Lin Chen's children's shoes, the lively protagonist of all these things, don't have time to pay attention to other things. He still wants to move up his ranking in the palace examination. As long as he performs well, he may not be able to get one today. It is possible for Men Shuang Tanhua to choose him directly as a Tanhua Lang.

Holding the good wish of being able to leap into the top three in the palace examination, Lin Chen spent the whole day in the pile of books and forgot himself. It seemed that he had forgotten His Royal Highness Dunjun Wang in the palace.

—————————— Lin Chen’s marriage is also on the agenda————————

Because of Lin Chen's fighting spirit (shit luck) and passing the Gongshi examination, Lin Hai has been quite happy these few days, not to mention Daiyu's cheeks are full of joy, and she is full of joy.She even put more thought into dressing up than before, especially using the bright colors that she rarely used in the past, just to give Lin Chen a good start.

Therefore, when the old matriarch of the Rongguo Mansion sent someone to pick up Daiyu to talk to her, she was wearing a bright red dress, and the red coral and lotus-shaped hair on her head made her bright and charming. It looks like a fairy concubine (Note [-]).

When she had just met Jia Mu, she sat down, and Sister Feng pointed to Daiyu and said with a smile: "Look at Sister Lin's bright red, which was very rare in the past. It's really a coincidence." What a joyous occasion, what a pretty and energetic outfit.”

Jia Mu squinted her eyes and looked at her for a while, then she nodded with a smile and said, "It's really spirited, and she deserves to wear this dress."

Baoyu is still in bright red today..., and at this time he is even more delighted: "It was extraordinary to see my sister in a simple and elegant outfit in the past, but I don't think this beauty is also very commensurate with my sister."

Daiyu just pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't answer such words.

Mother Jia then asked, "Good boy, why are you here alone today. Brother Chen has finally earned fame, why doesn't your father let him relax and relax, but instead keeps him studying?"

Since Lin Chen turned 13 years old, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, he avoided the matter of coming to Rongguo Mansion as much as he could, and most of them used the reason of studying to avoid it, which is why Jia Mu said this. .

Hearing her mention of her elder brother, Daiyu's face was full of joy: "Where is my elder brother who can't come here? In fact, next month will be the imperial examination, even if he passes the exam, he will not be free, and now he will go there before dawn. I am afraid that I will lose face to my ancestors during the palace examination."

She was telling the truth, Lin Chen was so busy these days that he didn't even touch the ground, and he didn't even eat the wine that his classmates invited, under the banner of preparing for the palace examination wholeheartedly.A few days ago, Baoyu sent a post to Lin's mansion, which was rejected by Lin Chen with the words "preparing for the palace examination with all my heart, it's really useless, brother Yu will definitely make amends in the future".

Naturally, Mother Jia knew about this matter, and she just used this to divert the conversation when she saw Baoyu make a mistake just now.

At this time, she sighed to Daiyu: "Your brother is really amazing. Which family's children can be so calm after being admitted? But he can, and he is not arrogant or impatient when he is admitted. of."

As he spoke, he smiled at Aunt Xue who was sitting beside him, "I told you a few years ago that this brother Chen is a man of great fortune, so now he should accept it?"

Aunt Xue hurried to the side and echoed: "Of course, Uncle Lin is uplifting. Jinshi in his teens, tsk tsk, this is the first time I have heard of it at such an old age. It is really a blessing that only the grandson of the ancestors can have. It's an acquaintance."

Mother Jia was so coaxed from ear to ear: "The aunt is used to talking. There are so many relatives in our family, so there are so many you and me. After Ming Erchen has tried it, I will ask him to serve the aunt personally. !"

Aunt Xue smiled hurriedly and said she didn't dare, she really didn't dare - Lin Chen has already passed the exam, and after passing the palace exam, he will be a Jinshi.With Lin Hai's abilities, he could at least be a good person.Aunt Xue is not a real elder, and Lin Chen's serving wine is really not something she can afford for a white body.

Mother Jia did not really ask Lin Chen to toast her when she said these words, but to show the closeness between her family and the Lin family, and to emphasize that she is also Lin Chen's serious elder.

The author has something to say: Note [-]: Three fathers and daughters: In ancient times, men and women had different seats at the age of seven~~~ Naturally, Daiyu would not eat with Lin Hai and the others, but Lin Chen’s important life events, as a younger sister, she would naturally have to come forward~~~ ~~~~~~ (PS: Don’t be serious!! Qing Dai’s logic has always been weird...)

Note [-]: Concubine and Fairy: Once upon a time... When I didn't know how many chapters, someone told me personally - not a concubine, but a concubine and a fairy! ! ! !Qing Dai really felt that it was extremely disrespectful! ! !Then today I deliberately used this word again to consolidate my impression~~~~

55 chapter

It's just that she shouldn't, she shouldn't, whenever she shows off her status as an elder, she wants to use Aunt Xue as a note.

Needless to say, the Lin family has been scholarly and noble for generations (Note [-]), and Daiyu has a noble temperament. When she heard that her elder brother was used to make face for a businessman, even if she knew in her heart that it was just a polite remark, she would inevitably scowl. , just watched Jia Mu take the airs of the elders with cold eyes.

Lin Chen had nothing to do with the Xue family, and the mother and daughter of the Xue family came here just to entertain Jia Mu. Seeing Daiyu's lazy description at this time, it was a bit embarrassing.

Seeing the delicate atmosphere, Sister Feng was about to say a few words to please Daiyu, but she heard Daiyu's voice with a smile: "Old Ancestor, April [-]th is the palace exam, and there are still many days left before the exam." Set it down. This can’t be up or down, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

Before Jia's mother could speak, Tanchun smiled and said, "I heard that Cousin Lin won No. 9 in the second list, such a high ranking, and Cousin Lin is so talented. After the palace examination, he will be a biography (Note [-]) is also made. Sister Lin really doesn’t need to worry.”

Hearing her words, Baochai turned his head to look at her, Tanchun blushed hurriedly, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Mother Jia glanced approvingly at this always outstanding granddaughter, and said to Daiyu with a smile: "San girl is right, your brother is capable, and he will be promising in the future. It's just that people like us don't A fame and fame is enough, for those who are first-class or second-class, there is no need to strive for it."

Before Daiyu could answer, Mrs. Wang interjected and said with a smile: "We don't know anything about the imperial examinations, but we also know that Geer Lin must have good luck. Look at his character, he will definitely be passed in the palace examination." Order Hanlin. Teenage Hanlin... tsk tsk... really amazing. Just a little..." She looked at Daiyu with a smile and said: "It is said that getting married and starting a business, getting married and starting a business, Brother Lin is now successful and famous, what is missing , isn’t it just some kind of marriage?”

Hearing her talk about marriage, the girls in the boudoirs here naturally couldn't get in the way.Although Daiyu gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, she still had to put on a blushing look of embarrassment.

Sister Feng saw that Jiamu's color was not right, so she interrupted the conversation and said with a smile: "Sister Lin doesn't come here often these days, and I have some good things here for you. I just got a western bicycle boat a few days ago. The workmanship is the most ingenious, and you sisters also come over to have a look."

Daiyu hurriedly got up with a smile, took Sister Feng's hand and went to the backyard.Sanchun and Baochai naturally went there together, and Baoyu hurriedly followed behind.

Sister Feng sent the man to the Tanchun room, and ordered the maidservant to take care of her carefully, and then hurried to the council.Although Sister Feng just now was just an excuse, after a while Ping'er personally delivered a golden western bicycle boat.

Daiyu thanked Ping'er, and looked at the boat carefully. The boat was not as big as she had seen in the past, it was only the size of one's palm.There are also many Western styles carved on it, and the workmanship is indeed wonderful.

Baochai looked aside for a while, then smiled and said: "It's really a rare thing. We usually have self-propelled boats, but what's rare is that this boat is so small and exquisite, and it can't be more delicate and delicate. Such a thing I don't know how long Miss Feng has been hiding, but she is greedy for us at this time."

In the entire Jia mansion, among brothers and sisters, only Baoyu's Jiangyun Pavilion (Note [-]) has this western bicycle boat.So when she said this, Sanchun's expression became subtle.

But Baoyu didn't realize it. Hearing Baochai's praise, he hurriedly went to Daiyu and said with a smile, "good sister, let me take a look at such a good thing." Get on the chair you're sitting on.

Daiyu quickly stood up, handed over the bicycle boat together with the box, and whispered softly: "I have never been able to bear the cold, this bicycle boat can't be played by myself. It doesn't mean much after all. If the second cousin likes it , take it over."

Baoyu looked at the boat more and more and fell in love with it. At this time, when she heard that she wanted to give it to herself, she was overjoyed and took it quickly, but she still remembered to say politely: "Sister Feng gave it to you. How can I do it?" Do you keep it yourself?"

Tanchun chuckled, pointed at Baoyu and said with a smile, "Sister Lin's kind intention, second elder brother will accept it. Even if I don't accept it at this time, I don't know if it will come back to our house in the future."

What he said made both Baodai blush, but Baoyu was ashamed and Daiyu was angry.

At this moment, Baochai pinched Tanchun's face lightly, and said with a smile: "What a three girl! Didn't you see Dai'er is thin-skinned and embarrassed? Could it be that we three girls are so looking forward to becoming a family with Dai'er? "

Ever since Lin Chen passed the test, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang frequently mentioned the matter of marriage with the Lin family in front of Tanchun, so Baochai's words hit her heart.

Tanchun's face blushed dripping blood, and he retorted in a low voice: "Where did I mean that..."

But under Baochai's half-smiling eyes, she silenced her voice, stomped her foot, didn't even dare to look at Daiyu's face, and hurriedly ran to the inner room.

Baochai was only interested in teasing Tanchun, but she didn't see that Daiyu's eyes were getting colder even though she was smiling.

————————————————————The so-called cousins ​​are all lovers in the previous life? —————————————————

After ordering several women who followed her to wait on Daiyu and send Daiyu back, Mother Jia dismissed her servants, leaving Mrs. Wang alone to talk.At this time, she no longer acted like a kind elder, first she gave Mrs. Wang a hard look, and scolded: "Look at what you are talking about today! The girls are still sitting , you hurriedly mentioned Lin’s marriage. Even if you are shameless, you make a few girls shameless! After hearing this, Yu’er will complain to Uncle Lin when she goes back.”

Mrs. Wang, however, looked aggrieved: "I can't blame my daughter-in-law for this. Didn't you say that the third girl and the Lin family boy are worthy of each other? I just mentioned it a little bit, and I didn't mention it by name. Well, I just thought it would be good to let the family know when Miss Lin goes back."

This really can't be blamed on Mrs. Wang's recklessness. Lin Chen is now in high school. He comes from a good family background and has not yet engaged. He is the sweet bun in the eyes of his mother-in-law.Naturally, the Jia family also wanted to get the moon first if they were close to the water, but it was a pity that the Lin family did not have a mistress so far. Even if the ladies wanted to recruit a son-in-law, they would have no place to find someone who said that. He ran to Xueshi Lin and said this, right?

Mrs. Wang originally thought that after meeting Lin Chen today, she could mention it in front of him, but she didn't expect Lin Chen to come at all.She was naturally very impatient, and seeing Tanchun courting Daiyu in front of Jiamu, and thinking that Jiamu had taken care of her in private, she felt a lot more courageous, so she simply said it in front of Daiyu.

Mother Jia looked at her daughter-in-law rather resentfully, and said bitterly, "You are just a piece of wood! Let me know? Is there a woman who would let the man know about this kind of thing? I thought, first let The relationship between Sanya and Yu'er is warm, and I will say a few words to Lin Ge'er, and Yu'er will be on the side drum. Cousins ​​who grew up together, how can this matter!"

Mrs. Wang curled her lips, and muttered: "Even if he agrees, Mr. Lin doesn't nod his head, the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents, and the words of a child's family, what effect will it have?" Who chooses a daughter-in-law?This old man's idea is not as good as hers, at least he can test out Lin Ruhai's attitude.

Regarding Mrs. Wang's words, Jia's mother sneered: "You only talk about the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, but you have forgotten the character of Lin Chen! When you first came to the capital, you got mixed up with King Dunjun, and even later Lin Hai has been transferred to the capital, and he can't control it anymore, the whole capital is full of rumors that the young master of the Lin family and the King of Dun County have made friends, so it can be seen that this kid has great ideas, and he can't even win over his own father."

Seeing Mrs. Wang's virtuous behavior, Jia's mother knew that she didn't understand what she was talking about at all, and wanted to say something more, but she couldn't help feeling tired in her heart, and she just let it go.

Impatiently waving Mrs. Wang's hand, Mrs. Wang stepped back, but Mrs. Shi, who was still in good spirits just now, became sluggish for a moment. She let Yuanyang rub her shoulders for her, but Jia's mother fell into deep thought.

Mother Jia hoped to save the declining family with the help of the dragon again. Although the wish was good, it was just that Mother Jia was a woman with limited ability, and her two sons were worthless (although Mother Jia did not admit that the second son was useless) Really need an upper arm of the court.Although Lin Ruhai is his uncle, his political views are quite different from Jia's mother.

Therefore, Jia's mother's eyes fell on Lin Chen who had just been admitted to the Gongshi and had "discord" with his father's political views. Being able to catch up with Lin Chen, Mother Jia will have one more hole card in her hand, and she will be able to convince His Royal Highness the loyalty of the Jia family even more.After all, when she thinks of Qin Keqing, who was beaten to death by her once, Mother Jia always feels a little uneasy...

The author has something to say: Note [-]: The Lin family actually started with martial arts... But, don't you think this f*cking family has a FELL from a scholarly family? ?

Note 1: Chuanlu: It is Erjia No.[-]~~~~ By the way, have you seen the traditional tricks of "Continuing Yijia" and "Second Jia Chuanhe"? ?I really ruin the three views... When I didn't see it, I thought it was a powerful pattern... After I saw it... What are the crabs, chickens, ducks, and reeds going to do! ! !

Note [-]: Jiang Yunxuan: Baoyu’s residence when he didn’t move into the Grand View Garden~~

56 chapter

The result of this palace examination is very interesting. It really fulfilled Lin Chen's guess that day, and today he did intend to choose him as a Tanhua, and take a double-Tanhua auspiciously.However, Xu Ziqian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, insisted on admonishing that he should not surpass his father (Note [-]), and that he must not destroy the superiority and inferiority of the elders, so Lin Chen was wronged and became a second-class biography—this is the inheritance of Miss Jia San. "Auspicious words".

It was just a blessing in disguise, perhaps to compensate Lin Chen. Today, with a swipe of a pen when ordering the Hanlin, Lin Chen, who was supposed to participate in the official assessment again, was directly ordered to edit.

Don't look at it as just a small editor of the seventh grade. If other second-class Jinshi want to stay in Beijing and enter the job, they have to pass the imperial examination again in the Palace of Preservation. After comprehensive examination results before and after, only those who have good grades can be admitted to the Imperial Academy. Shujishi.

It doesn't mean that everything will be fine if you become a Shujishi - Shujishi can only be a Shujishi for three years. During this period, experienced people in the Imperial Academy will teach you and impart various knowledge.Three years later, an assessment will be carried out before the next test, that is, "disbanding".Only those with excellent grades can stay in Hanlin and be awarded the position of editor or editor.

In the past three years, the same year who were directly ordered to edit and edit in front of them had good luck and did not know where they were promoted.Therefore, Lin Chen's good luck is very enviable.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that it is mostly because of Lin Hai that he can treat Mr. Lin family so favorably today.However, Lin Chen's character and knowledge can't find any faults, so apart from sighing in his heart about the depth of Lin Hai's favor, no one who doesn't have eyes jumps out again to say that this trip is against the rules.

However, Lin Chen knew that no matter how deep Lin Hai's favor was, he would definitely not allow Jin Shang to make an exception for him. Most of his trip today was to compensate someone who was lying in Yuqing Palace.

Seeing Tanhua faintly crowding him out at the Qionglin Banquet, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile wryly, even if he felt ashamed of Ji Wen today, he still favored the prince in his heart.Otherwise, I would have been a Tanhua Lang early on, so why would I need to make an "exception" today to attract the attention of others?

This year's No. [-] scholar is a native of Shandong, called Ai Qingyuan, who is only a weak crown.At this time, he was wearing the red robe of the No. [-] Scholar, with a handsome figure and a good temperament, which was extremely eye-catching among the elderly new scholars.

Of course, there is someone who is more eye-catching than him. Lin Chen is only sixteen now, and he is also the son of an important minister's family. Today, it is inevitable that he will be treated more preferentially, even taking him with him when viewing flowers.

This just stole the limelight of Tanhualang at every Qionglin Banquet. This time Tanhua is from Jiangnan, named Zhao Xuechen. In fact, he is also young, but he is as generous as Gu Panyang of Ai Qingyuan, and Lin Chen His gentle and elegant temperament is naturally not enough in comparison.

If Tan Hualang was only annoyed to be robbed of the limelight by the outstanding No. [-] scholar, Tan Hualang was completely angry when he was robbed of most of the attention at the banquet by Lin Chen, who was inferior to him.

Seeing that Jinshang's attention hadn't stopped here, Zhao Xuechen picked up a glass of wine, and said to Lin Chen in a strange way: "Brother Lin is talented, I heard about Brother Lin's talent and name when I first entered Beijing, now it seems that, It really lives up to its name."

What he said was neither yin nor yang, and he was suspected of deliberately making things difficult. The few new scholars who sat close to him could hear it clearly.The other second-tier Jinshi were happy to watch the jokes, but Zhuangyuanlang still toasted calmly, showing a tendency to be indifferent, only the second place seemed to have something to say, but he finally endured it.

Hearing Zhao Xuechen's provocation, Lin Chen smiled slightly, and said modestly: "Brother Zhao is too flattering to me. How can I be known as a foolish brother? Everyone is just rewarding me as a talented man for the sake of my father and respected teacher." It's just the head."

Lin Hai and Zhuang Youju are figures who can be regarded as great figures in the literary world. As their sons and disciples, Lin Chen is naturally highly praised by those stalkers, some of whom are exaggerated.Zhao Xuechen said that he had heard about his talent and name when he first entered Beijing, and it is possible that he had indeed heard about it, rather than deliberately saying it to squeeze him.

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Chen finished speaking, Zhao Xuechen's expression was even more disdainful, and he sarcastically said: "Master Zhuang is quite famous, we don't have the good fortune of Brother Lin, and we can't worship such a famous master, but we just don't want Brother Lin to fail." The son inherited his father's career and continued to sit in this Tanhua seat."

Many of the scholars present here are the children of powerful families, so they naturally knew that the reason why Lin Chen was not selected was that "a son does not surpass his father".Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, all the scholars who knew a little bit of the way laughed heartily.

Lin Chen naturally also found it funny, but at least he still remembered to save some face for the Tanhua in front of him, and hurriedly said a few words that he was not as stupid as his father, so he exposed it.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ——

Once the imperial examination was over, Lin Chen couldn't afford to go to the Zhuang Mansion all day long with the idea of ​​asking for advice. The invitations that were rejected before had to be made up during this time, and there were also invitations from new scholars to invite each other. Even if he was not in a hurry to apply for the position in the Imperial Academy, Lin Chen's life became more and more busy.

There is just one thing, Lin Chen is only 16 years old this year, and the crowning ceremony has not been done yet, so naturally there is no word.But in the same year, and between colleagues in the future, it is inevitable to socialize with each other, and he can't do without a name.

Lin Hai also thought of this, and thought that it would be better to organize Lin Chen's crowning ceremony a few years in advance.Just like this, Lin Chen's marriage was officially put on the agenda.

The Lin family didn't have a mistress, so of course it was impossible for Lin Hai to visit other people's houses, so the responsibility of showing Lin Chen a good relationship naturally fell to Mr. Zhuang's second wife, Mrs. Jiang (Note [-]).

Although Mrs. Jiang is young, she is of noble birth and well-married, and the noble ladies who are usually outstanding are not uncommon in her eyes.She is also Lin Chen's teacher's wife, and her status is decent, so it would be best for her to show Lin Chen a look.

Lin Hai and Zhuang You naturally had to refer to Lin Chen's opinion on the candidates for their future wives. It's a pity that Mr. Lin doesn't like women very much. As long as he comes from a decent background and has a gentle and gentle temperament, he doesn't even care about his looks.

Zhuang You naturally knew that he was just perfunctory, and he might not be very enthusiastic about the marriage.On the contrary, Lin Hai praised him for not being confused by foreign things, and taught his son again the principle of marrying a wife.

I have to say that Mr. Zhuang and Lin Chen really are a nest of snakes and rats (...), Lin Chen really didn't take his marriage to heart, he has more important things to attend to right now - he was sent to other places for "recuperation" The son of Qin Bangye's family, the secretary of the Ministry of Construction, quietly returned to Beijing a few days ago.

Qin Zhong's return made Lin, who had been devastated by Ji Wen's affairs (Note 100), see the light again.If there is anyone in the capital who has been single-mindedly targeting the crown prince for [-] years, and the "Sage King" party ranks second, then no one dares to claim the first place.

It's just that since the last time the turmoil of discussing Chu Chu, Lian County King has been silent for so many years, this time he made a move for the first time, how could Lin Chen not send a big gift to congratulate him?

The author has something to say: Note [-]: Mr. Zhuang's father has long been promoted to the cabinet~~~Although he can also serve as a minister, hey, this is a foreshadowing.So the Ministry of Rites changed people~~~~

And in fact, there is no such thing as not surpassing his father... Su Shi didn't become the No. [-] scholar because his father was just a Tanhua, so Su Shi couldn't be the No. [-] scholar, he could only be a Tanhua.but!This Minister of Rites wants to use such an excuse not to let Lin Chen be a prostitute~~~~ So this Xu Ziqian's position is very problematic, Smecta~~~~~~

Note [-]: Jiang Shi: Do you still remember?It is the prostitute who could have become the princess of Dunjun~~~

Note [-]: Xiao Yu, Lin Chen has never forgotten about the chick! ! !The Lun family just said that they forgot on the surface... In fact, Lin Chen went to the Zhuang Mansion to discuss with Mr. Zhuang how to discredit the prince~~~ It was just under the guise of the palace examination, and the Lun family didn't still have this trick in Daqiantui It's time to use it~~~~

Sad Red Tears pointed out in person: Men and women can sit in different seats at seven years old, as long as there are elders present and there is a certain distance.

In the future, if there are any mistakes in Qingdai’s articles, please feel free to advise (≧▽≦)/

Xia Shu kissed and said: Is Daiyu a filial piety?I can wear gorgeous clothes~~~Qing Dai said that this volume is already five years later/(tot)/~~ So Daiyu can wear everything now~~~~ In addition, I also feel that I am a "fairy fairy" It's ruining the three views! ! !

Because the matter of discussing the princes was too big in the past few years, King Lianjun has been severely suppressed by the present government in recent years. Qin Zhong's identity was also noticed by Jinshang.

In order to avoid misfortune, Ji Qing simply sent Qin Zhong far away to a village in the suburbs of Beijing, and raised a troupe of small operas in the county prince's mansion. .
