The Second Young Master of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

If it was another person, the emperor was standing by his side, how could he answer the paper calmly, and not drop the pen to the ground with trembling hands in fright, even if he had a good psychological quality.

However, Lin Jin is not someone else. He met Tu Feng when he was a child and has been with him for many years. The right hand of the pen is methodically writing on the paper.

Tu Feng watched silently for a while, with an inconspicuous smile on the corner of his lips, then slowly walked away and returned to the upper seat to sit.

Because there was only one topic, most people finished the first draft very quickly, checked it out and started to transcribe it. Only Lin Yu didn't intend to make a draft at all. He just wrote it without saying it, and he was the last one to hand in the paper on the spot. , attracted everyone's attention, how much did he have to say?

The palace examination takes the form of marking the papers on the spot, and then the ministers of the papers will jointly evaluate the papers, and the top [-] papers will be submitted, and the seat will be arranged by the emperor.

After all, there were more than [-] candidates who took part in the palace examination, and the emperor took his time to read them all. Don't try to get a result that day. If the emperor gets bored of watching, it would be a pity to be in the back.

While waiting for the test papers to be submitted, all the candidates were secretly praying that their own papers must have a chance to face the saint, maybe they would be favored by the saint.

This is especially true for Lin Yu. He wrote so much so hard, if Tu Feng couldn't read it, it would be a waste of expression.

As the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come, Zhao Qing and Lin Jin's answer papers have successfully entered the top [-] rankings, and only Lin Yu caused disputes among the examiners.

Some people think that clear thinking and high artistic conception are the best choice, while others think that the writing style is simple and too straightforward, and they need to be typed back and reworked.

The two sides argued endlessly, and no one could convince the other. In the end, they had to vote for a resolution, and Lin Yu's test paper was fortunate enough to see the light of day again.

Tu Feng is not a person who is selfish, but among the [-] test papers presented in front of him, three of them are particularly familiar, so he can't help but care about them.

It's just that although Zhao Qing and Lin Jin's answers were excellent, they were within Tu Feng's expectations, and only Lin Yu was far beyond his expectations.

Previously, when Tu Feng saw that Lin Yu was the last one to hand in the paper, he thought that he was not sure enough, so he had to think more carefully. Only now did he suddenly realize that it was not that Lin Yu was not sure, but because he knew too deeply and couldn't stop writing, so he wrote eloquently. So many, although the writing style is not as sophisticated as Zhao Qing and others, but every word and sentence is down to the point.

Thirty test papers are not too many, and Tu Feng read them quickly, but he was a little bit embarrassed when he arranged the seats.

After much deliberation, he finally ranked Lin Yu ahead of Lin Jin, and Zhao Qing, as everyone expected, won the third place in the first class.

Lin Yu was already very satisfied to be ranked in the top two, but just in front of Lin Jin, he was a little confused, what does the saint mean by this, is he intentionally creating conflicts.

Ever since he was a child, Lin Jin had dominated Lin Yu academically. At first, it was because he was not sure about the level that infants and young children should have. He was afraid that he would accidentally miss his feet, so he followed Lin Jin everywhere. It was limited by his way of thinking. He really couldn't beat Lin Jin in many aspects. Fortunately, after calling him brother for so many years, Lin Yu was not unconvinced.

On the contrary, it was a rare win today. Not only did Lin Yu not feel like standing up and calling the shots, but she was also a little worried about Lin Jin, whether he would feel hit.

Facts have proved that Lin Yu underestimated Lin Jin. His brother is really not stingy, and congratulations to his brother are definitely sincere and from the bottom of his heart.

Two days later, the Zhao family formally came to propose marriage. Lin Ruhai finally nodded and agreed to marry Daiyu to Zhao Qing. Afterwards, the two families entered the palace again and asked Tu Feng to order the marriage.

The daughter of the former Ke Tan Hualang married the new Ke Tan Hualang, and the saint personally gave the marriage, even if there was an unpleasant resignation before, people have nothing to discuss.

If you have that spare time, it is better to hurry up and choose a good son-in-law. Among the new division Jinshi, there are not many young and unmarried ones, and they will be snatched away if you are not careful.

Lin Jin and Lin Yu happen to be within the scope of marriageable, but Lin Yu has a marriage contract, and the other party is still the eldest princess, no one dares to think of him, leaving Lin Jin to fight alone.

It's a pity that Lin Jin didn't care about his marriage. When Lin Ruhai asked him for his opinion, he didn't say a word, only saying that it was all up to his father.

Lin Ruhai was not open enough to let his son marry whoever he wanted, but there were too many people who came to inquire, and he didn't mind asking his son within the allowed range.

Since Lin Jin had no objection, he made a decision based on the girl's family background and the potential of the children in the family. Anyway, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family has a level above the level.

After careful comparison, Lin Ruhai finally chose Shen Yun, the eldest granddaughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Shen Yun, as his wife.

According to the usual practice, the top three in the first class and the top two in the second class are all required to enter the Hanlin Academy, and they will be assigned positions after three years, and the Lin brothers are no exception.

On this day, Tu Feng recruited Lin Jin to speak in the imperial study after coming down to court, and specially told Lin Yu not to wait for him to go home.

I haven't seen Tu Feng alone for a long time, Lin Jin wanted to say a thousand words, but he said: "I kowtow to His Majesty, I don't know if His Majesty summoned my ministers to come, what can I discuss?"

"Little Jinzi, don't be nervous, I just came here to chat with you, sit down quickly." Tu Feng was stunned, and then gave Lin Jin a seat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting your seat." Lin Jin thanked him politely, and then sat down with some trepidation.

Tu Feng's expression was even more stunned. In less than a year, how could Xiao Jinzi have shared so much with him? He was silent for a moment before asking: "I heard that the teacher has arranged a marriage for you, why didn't you tell me sooner? , so that I can give you a will, but you are lucky to keep it from me..."

Having been touched by someone's most sensitive nerve, Lin Jin couldn't hold back his indifferent expression, and raised his voice: "I don't want your Majesty to give you a marriage."

Objectively speaking, Lin Jin's words were very blunt. When meeting an emperor with a bad temper, it would be a minor crime to punish him for his misconduct, but Tu Feng was not only not angry, but also heard a gleam in his words. Feeling wronged, he hurriedly asked: "What? You don't like the girl from the Shen family, why didn't you tell me earlier, I'm fine..."

Lin Jin felt even more aggrieved immediately, and said in a choked voice after a long while, "Your Majesty, why do you have to make things difficult for your humble minister?" He had long since dared not think anything wrong, but he just wanted to stay by his side peacefully, but Why can't he trust himself so much, he has to force himself to get married and have children as soon as possible, and he has to give the marriage himself.

Tu Feng was at a loss for words, and after a long time, he sighed in a low voice: "What are you doing?" Because the voice was too low, Lin Jin couldn't hear clearly.

"Your Majesty?" Lin Jin only said that he had offended Tu Feng by his rude words, and his tone was unconsciously a little disturbed.

Tu Feng shook his head slightly, raised his hand and said, "Little Jinzi, come here, come to my side."

"Your Majesty?" Lin Jin didn't understand what he meant, but he followed his words and walked slowly to Tu Feng and stood still.

Tu Feng reached out, took Lin Jin's hand, pulled him gently, and brought him into his arms.

"Your Majesty?" Lin Jin exclaimed, his face was full of horror, it was Tu Feng who said it himself, he is not allowed to think about it in the future, but now he...

Tu Feng hugged him tightly, and asked in a low voice: "Little Jinzi, if I say I regret it, would you still be willing..."

Before Tu Feng could finish speaking, Lin Jin nodded hastily, and then said: "As long as Your Majesty doesn't regret it any more."

Tu Feng gently stroked his hair, and said in a deep voice: "It's not enough to be wrong once, what do you think of me..." Yes, he was wrong, he wanted the original one in front of him Lin Jin, who is unrestrained, cannot treat him as an ordinary courtier, otherwise, he will only lose him.

"Your Majesty can't be wrong." Lin Jin muttered to himself, but he didn't know who he was speaking to.

Tu Feng said no more, just tightened his hands slightly, tilted his head and kissed Lin Jin's lips.Lin Jin closed her eyes, her cheeks blushing.

The marriage of the brothers and sisters has come to a conclusion, Lin Yu is the one who is nervous, the Lord Shang is a foregone conclusion, but he and Liu Xuan are getting more and more entangled, what should we do.

The wedding date of Daiyu and Zhao Qing was set in the fall of this year. Jia Min had been preparing for Daiyu's dowry since she was a child, and Lin Ruhai added a lot later. Ten miles of red makeup would definitely not be a problem.Lin Jin and Shen Yun's marriage is also under intensive preparations. At first, next spring, the eldest and youngest wife of the Lin family will be able to preside over the Lin family's midwifery.

But Lin Yu found a strange thing, that is, after Lin Jin was stayed in the palace by Tu Feng that day, he seemed to be less resistant to his marriage.

Could it be that they broke up completely, and Lin Jin also gave up?Lin Yu thought about it this way, but seeing Lin Jin's spring-like expression the next day, it didn't quite look like it.

"Brother Yu, what are you thinking? All the fish have taken the bait, but they still haven't responded..." Lin Yu was thinking deeply, when someone patted him on the shoulder.

"Ah?!" Lin Yu suddenly came back to his senses, and with his movement, the fish that had already been hooked struggled and ran away.

Seeing this, Liu Xuan could only sigh helplessly, grabbed the fishing rod in his hand and said, "Forget it, let me do it. It will be dark when you catch fish."

Lin Yu shrugged embarrassingly, and then looked at the two alive and kicking carps that Liu Xuan caught in the bucket, with a helpless expression on his face.

While throwing out the bait, Liu Xuan asked in a low voice, "Brother Yu, what's the matter with you recently? I told you several times that you didn't want to come out, but it's rare that you came out once and you were listless. Do you think I'm annoying?" He asked Mouth muttering, seems very worried.

Lin Yu sat cross-legged beside him, resting his chin on Liu Xuan's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "Xuan'er, are we always like this?" After the palace examination, as long as it was his holiday, Liu Xuan would stalk him Fighting, no matter how tortuous the process was, the final result was that the two rolled into the same bed, which made Lin Yu quite uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xuan tilted her head with a smile, "Didn't you listen to my father? The saint appreciates your talent very much, and wants me to ask you more."

Lin Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly. Liu Xu had a crush on him because he answered well in the palace examination papers, without empty words, and every sentence fell on the point. If he knew the real relationship between himself and Liu Xuan, he would be sure. I don't think so, and it will keep Liu Xuan away from him. It's better not to meet him forever.

Seeing that Lin Yu didn't answer her words, Liu Xuan said again: "Brother Yu, I've thought about it for a long time, and I still think it's better for us to maintain the status quo. What do you think?"

"Maintain the status quo?" What does this mean, Lin Yu didn't keep up with Liu Xuan's train of thought for a while.

"It turned out that I always thought that brother Yu was not interested in becoming an official like me, and he did it because of Lin Shishu's request." Liu Xuan's expression was unprecedentedly serious in Lin Yu's eyes, "If that's the case, we It's okay to talk to your parents, but Brother Yu obviously doesn't think so..."

Lin Yu's expression changed suddenly, and he opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know what to say.Liu Xuan was right, he was absolutely unwilling to give up ten years of hard study and become a hermit or something.But if he didn't do this, it would be better not to reveal his relationship with Liu Xuan, as it would be of no benefit to his official career.

"I can't bear to be separated from brother Yu, and I can't bear to let brother Yu give up what I want." At some point, Liu Xuan had already thrown away the fishing rod and hugged Lin Yu with his backhand.

"I'm also reluctant, but..." After talking, the two of them returned to the beginning of the problem, which was the unavoidable topic of starting a family.

"Let's talk about the future!" In front of her beauty, Liu Xuan decided to be an ostrich for a while, and threw Lin Yu onto the grass.

Lin Yu thought about it, but after all, he didn't push him away. The days of indulgence are running out, and he doesn't want to waste it.

In the blink of an eye, in autumn, when Daiyu got married, Empress Dowager Liu personally gave the first dowry. Lin Jin carried her on the bridal sedan chair, and Lin Yu watched from the side. The three siblings were all teary-eyed.

Daiyu's dowry is generous, the one in front is about to arrive at Zhao's house, and the one behind has not yet left the house, which has aroused a lot of discussion from onlookers, but Lin's family has been a single heir for generations, and it is rare for a prostitute daughter to marry with a dowry that reaches such a high level The number is also normal.

Lin Yu was also in the wedding procession. When he passed a certain corner, he looked back inadvertently and saw a figure that looked exactly like Jia Baoyu. When he looked carefully, he was gone.

Lin Yu didn't think too much, just smiled and patted his horse and continued to walk forward. The front edge of the wood and stone had already come to an end, so he had nothing to worry about.

After Daiyu left the pavilion, the small Lin family seemed even quieter. Fortunately, in less than half a year, the Shen family will enter the house, and Lin Ruhai has no time to be lost.

Lin Jin and Shen Yun's wedding was not as grand as Daiyu and Zhao Qing's, and Lin Jin's eyes did not have the slowly overflowing smile like Zhao Qing's.

At the same time, the wedding between Lin Yu and Princess Yiyang was also put on the agenda by Tu Feng.

The princess descended, unlike an ordinary woman who married into her husband's house, she had her own mansion. Princess Yiyang's princess mansion was just across the street from the Lin family.

The one-sided relationship in childhood, or in the moment of life and death crisis, is not enough for Lin Yu to remember the appearance of that little girl.

Several years later, under the light of dragon and phoenix candles, Lin Yu finally saw her face clearly, as well as her strange smile printed in her eyes.
