Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

The elder brother will spend more time at home this time. He is at home on vacation, and invitations from various families in Gusu are flying in like snowflakes.

My mother was also often invited, but she didn't take me there, she just coaxed me to behave well at home, and then she turned around and took Lin Chongtan and the twins to the banquet.

"Nonsense, why don't you take Chundi?" The father was busy with everything, and the elder brother had the posture of an elder brother like a father. One sentence made the mother's face turn red, and she just explained in a low voice, "Chundi just came home, and his body is still in the middle of the night." If you haven’t taken care of it well, it won’t be too late to go again.”

The eldest brother grimaced, "Mom, Chundi is 13 years old now, it's time to go out and meet people. The children of my Lin family should have seen the world, understand human relationships, and be sensible."

Because of my eldest brother's words, I was allowed to go to the banquet for the first time.Two days before my departure, someone in the mansion trained me on etiquette. The afternoon before, my mother came to see me.

Because of my mother's presence, I was extra nervous and wanted to behave better, but the more I thought about it, the more mistakes I made.

When I accidentally dropped the teacup and made a loud noise, I saw the obvious disappointment in my mother's eyes, but she squeezed out a smile and said to me: "Don't worry, Chundi, you are still young, let's learn slowly."

I'm not young, I'm the same age as Lin Chongtan, but why is he good at everything?

It was the Wang family who invited me. The Wang family is a scholarly family with many children. From time to time, Liangji whispered in my ear, telling me who this is and who that is.

I didn't dare to relax, I stretched my body to recognize people and smiled. At the end of the day, I was exhausted. In the evening, thinking that it would be a while before I left for dinner, I went into the small forest by the lake to hammer my sore legs.

After a while, I heard voices nearby.It turned out that a group of sons and gentlemen were reciting poems and painting in the gazebo by the lake, and Lin Chongtan was among them.

Today Lin Chongtan wore a pine flower green robe, this color is very attractive, but not only is it not strange for him to wear it, but it is also particularly eye-catching.

Seeing Lin Chongtan was there, I wanted to leave, but at this moment, I heard them discussing me.

"Tansheng, who is the black young man that your family brought today? Is it your younger brother? We haven't heard that your family has a younger brother?"

"Hei Gongzi? Haha." Someone laughed immediately, "Hei Gongzi is not a good name, why not call him Black Raccoon Slave? My family has a black cat, which looks a bit like that little guy, with round eyes. Dark skin."

"You guys are too talkative. Tan Sheng is still here. Tan Sheng, who is that person? We heard him call your eldest brother the eldest brother."

Lin Chongtan put down his brush for painting, "You don't have to guess, he is a child of the Lin family, and he will often attend this kind of banquet in the future. When you see him, call him Brother Chun." After a pause, "Don't say anything black Young master, black raccoon slave."

"Okay, okay, no, but he is really a child of your Lin family? Why does he look nothing like your brothers?"

"Of course not. How can Tan Sheng's beauty be black... Then what can Brother Chun compare to? That guy is probably from a sideline who came to beat the autumn wind. Thanks to your kind Lin family, you even brought him to the banquet. If it's me, give me some Just send the broken silver."

Send me for a piece of silver?

I am the serious young master of the Lin family, why should I be dismissed?

Lin Chongtan is the son of Fan Wu, a gambling ghost. Fan Wu died, and my adoptive mother also died of illness. He didn't go back to mourn and mourn, and took up my identity as the second young master. Now others still say that I came to play the autumn wind.

Immediately charged with anger, I didn't listen carefully to what they said behind me, I just wanted to tear Lin Chongtan's hypocrisy in front of everyone.

He is fake and I am real.

I rushed over, and everyone looked a little embarrassed when they saw me. I didn't expect that my bad words would be heard by me, the righteous master.

"Hey, this..."

"Brother Chun, we were talking nonsense just now, we were the ones who drank too much, and we apologize to you."

Lin Chongtan was a little surprised when he saw me, and then he walked towards me, "Xiaodi, why are you here? Liangji didn't accompany you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was pushed hard by me.

I pushed and cursed with all my strength, "Who wants you to pretend to be a good person? You shameless son of a gambler, you are not the son of the Lin family at all!"

"Spring Flute!"

There was an angry scolding sound from behind, and I turned my head quickly in fright, and at the same time, I heard a "plop" in my ear.

Everyone's voices rang out at once.

"Tansheng! Come on! Tansheng fell into the water!"

"Come on! Save people! Tansheng can't water!"

The elder brother walked over with his eyes closed and angry, and dragged me to his servant, "Send him back, you don't have to attend the dinner."

Then the eldest brother jumped into the water to save Lin Chongtan.

My first banquet ended like this. My father learned that I had caused such a shameful scandal and ordered me to kneel in the ancestral hall. My mother came to see me, but although my mother gave me food and comforted me, she comforted me. Words are more like a knife, cutting my heart with a knife.

"You grew up in that kind of place. Naturally, you are not as good as the other brothers. Your father and your elder brother are just too strict with you. Chundi, listen to your mother from now on, stay in the mansion obediently, don't go anywhere, and wait When you grow up, mother will find a marriage for you, you don't need a high-ranking woman, just choose a lovely and sensible person who has something to say to you."

Even a girl in the boudoir can go out to play. Is my mother grounding me?

The next day, my mother asked me to apologize to Lin Chongtan, this time I heard the voice of my elder brother.

The eldest brother told Lin Chongtan that my intentions were not right.

I didn't go in to apologize to Lin Chongtan, I turned around and went straight back to Shanming Pavilion.After kneeling in the ancestral hall for two days, my knees were swollen to the point of disbelief. When Liangji put on my legs, I couldn't help sobbing.

In my adoptive mother's house, I actually didn't like to cry. I don't know why, but in the past few months at Lin's house, I cried three times.

Are you crying because your leg hurts?

what is this else?

Liangji looked up at me, "Master Chun, are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat."

"No need." I pulled my legs back and lay down on the couch, and asked Liangji to open the window again, and the rain drifted in from the window.In fact, I shouldn't be so sad, life is obviously much better now, I had to go to the fields to do farm work, and the food I ate was rarely meaty.Fan Wuyi was not happy, so he punched and kicked me. When I arrived at Lin’s house, I had no worries about food and clothing. No matter how angry my father was, he would never do anything to me. He only punished me to kneel in the ancestral hall. How could I feel so uncomfortable?

But no matter how I explain myself, my feelings for Lin Chongtan have changed from dislike to disgust. I even selfishly thought that it would be great if Lin Chongtan could disappear.

After this incident, I no longer go out to dinner, even if my elder brother wants to take me out later.

"Don't go? Why don't you go? Several of your sisters will participate in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet. As a man, why do you nest in the courtyard every day?"

The elder brother frowned and looked at me.

I met his gaze and lowered my head, "I haven't finished reading the book, the master will scold me."

"It's not too late to come back and read again." The elder brother said again.

I stopped talking, my elder brother waited for me for a while, and understood that I was determined not to go out, and with the urging of the twins outside, he turned and left after leaving two words.

"That's it."

I looked up at the back of my eldest brother leaving, squeezed my hands and went back to the study to continue reading.Ever since I realized the difference between myself and Lin Chongtan, I have worked very hard in my studies, studying late into the night every day, but maybe I am really stupid, and I always forget what I have learned.The master reprimanded me from the beginning for not studying hard, but later on I just shook my head and sighed.

The master knows that I have worked hard.

When the master is in a good mood, he will comfort me and say that everyone has their own destiny, and not everyone is suitable for further studies.

"You are the young master of the Lin family, so the Lin family can afford to support you."

His words were very similar to those of my mother. They seemed to comfort me, but in fact they said that I was hopelessly stupid.

In the blink of an eye, I have lived in the Lin family for three years, and a major event happened during these three years.The eldest brother dropped out of Hanshan Academy and turned to business.Since then, his father has put most of his hopes on Lin Chongtan. He hoped that Lin Chongtan would become a unparalleled champion in high school.

Therefore, his father decided to send Lin Chongtan to Taixue to study.In fact, Lin Chongtan had already been qualified to study in the Imperial Academy. His wife, Mr. Daoqing, was once the most respected gentleman in the Imperial Academy, and he had once served as the Grand Master. He recommended Lin Chongtan to the Imperial Academy, but at that time Lin Chongtan Tan was still young, and his father wanted to stay with Lin Chongtan for two more years.

When the family learned that Lin Chongtan was going to study far away in the capital, the married elder sisters all ran back, looking at Lin Chongtan with tears in their eyes, they were quite worried about their cousin.

The mother was even worse, holding Lin Chongtan in her arms, and the sweetheart and Baoer cried out, crying sadly, and the twins also held Lin Chongtan's arm tightly, "Second brother, we don't want you to go."

The calmest person in the hall was the father, who waited for everyone to finish crying before coughing heavily, "It's just going to Beijing to study, and you guys are making a fuss like life and death, it's absurd. go together."

These words exploded like thunder in the Lin family hall.

Even the eldest brother was very surprised, "Chundi going together? Chundi..."

The father couldn't deny it: "Chun Di is 16 years old now, it's time to go out and have a look, he is not a boudoir girl, after all, he still has to bear a burden of the Lin family."

I was also surprised by what my father said. I didn't expect my father to have such expectations for me, so when my father asked me to go to his study, I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Father." I really wanted to get close to my father, but my father was busy, and it was late at night every time he returned home, so it was not easy for me to disturb him.

My father looked at me seriously, but he didn't smile at me. I knew he was always serious, so I didn't blame him. I just stood in front of him obediently until he spoke.

"I sent you to Taixue to study this time because I really don't want to see me, Lin Kunjie, have such a useless son as you. I know you were delayed, but it has been three years. Your master told me, You haven't made any progress in your studies. Now you only know some characters, and you can't even do poetry. As for the other five arts, you don't know anything at all.

Sending you to Taixue to study this time took me a lot of thought. If you can't make some achievements, don't come back. "

I didn't expect my father to say such a thing to me. I froze in place and felt cold all over.My father didn't seem to want to talk to me any more, and told me to step down. If it had been the case, I would have left obediently, but today I couldn't help but ask him.

"Father, do you want the second elder brother to be your child? Do you think it would be better if you don't have a useless son like me?"

In fact, I wanted to ask this question a long time ago. I have been in the Lin family for three years, and my name has not been listed in the family tree. Except for the people in the Lin family who know that I am the serious young master, outsiders think that Lin Chongtan is the father's son , and I'm just an orphan from a distant relative's family, temporarily under the protection of the Lin family.

Before I could finish my sentence, a slap landed on my face.

My father hit me for the first time.

He seemed angry, "Zhuzi, get out!"

That was the last sentence my father said to me. The next day, I set foot on the road to the capital. Since then, only the ashes and clothes have returned to my hometown.

I, Lin Chundi, was born in the fifth year of the Tianli calendar and died in the 23rd year of the Tianli calendar.
