Lin Jue of the Red Chamber

It was almost noon when Lin Jue returned home with Guanqi and Fengxuan. As soon as he entered the gate, Lin Jue felt someone tugging on his clothes, and watched the nanny Lu Shi hurriedly dragging him towards Quanxuexuan Go, can't help being funny.

"Nurse, what are you going to do?" Lin Jue's voice was languid.

"My uncle, you have been admitted as a scholar. You are the first in our Jiangsu province. There are waves of people who come to congratulate you this morning! Now the master is entertaining guests in the flower hall. You will change with the old slave." Let's go get some clothes!" Just by hearing the voice, she could tell that Nanny Lu was in a hurry.

Lin Jue had no choice but to change into the clothes for hospitality under the control of Nanny Lu, and tied up her hair again.After changing, Lin Jue's first reaction was to quickly change back after taking a photo under the mercury mirror.In the mirror is a young man about 1.3 meters tall. He is already graceful, but he has changed into an outer dress embroidered with red rhododendron flowers, with silver cloud patterns on the neckline, and a peony scented sachet hanging from his waist.Dazed felt a little more enchanting, and a blood jade forehead ornament the size of a pigeon egg was tied on his forehead, making it even more indistinguishable between male and female.

Nanny Lu knocked off Lin Jue's hand that wanted to take off her clothes: "Oh, my uncle is getting older too! He is becoming more and more handsome every day. Go to the flower hall quickly, and don't let the master wait." The children still wear red at home. nice.

Lin Jue smiled wryly and rubbed his forehead, wondering if it was because of his rebirth, his facial features remained the same, but his appearance and temperament became more outstanding.

Sitting in the flower hall were four middle-aged men.Lin Jue walked in, and gave Father Lin a deep bow first: "The son is back. I have seen my father!" Then I saluted the other three men: "My nephew has seen Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Zhao." The three men The man is none other than Lin's father's friend when he was running the river canal.It turned out that the four of them ran the river together. Later, Father Lin and Uncle Zhao bought dozens of acres of land and canceled their business registrations. A large family business.

Uncle Wang pulled Lin Jue over and said, "Old Lin, among us, you will have a son! Before you are ten years old, you will be admitted as a scholar, the first one in Jiangsu. Isn't it easy to get the number one in a few years? "

Father Lin smiled contentedly, but his mouth was still modest: "Where is it, this is so young! What can you tell?"

Lin Jue secretly smiled, father, you have wrinkled faces, are you still not satisfied?

Uncle Zhang even slapped Lin Jue with a slap: "Good boy, you are capable. Uncle Wang and I have been oppressed by the government a lot. The King of Hades is so hard to deal with little ghosts. You study hard, and I will count on you to support Uncle in the future." gone."

Lin Jue was puzzled, this didn't happen in the last life, could it be because he was only 14 years old in his last life and only took the exam for scholar?I remember that Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhang's business had been very good in the previous life until his death.

Before Lin Jue could speak, Father Lin took over the conversation: "He's still a child! It's too early to say that, let's eat first!"

Uncle Wang laughed loudly: "Old Lin, you still protect the calf all the time! Can I still harm Brother Jue?"

Father Lin glanced at him.Uncle Wang stopped talking, and replaced it with a wry smile: "Okay, eat first, eat first!"

Uncle Zhao didn't speak, just kept smiling, holding a teacup to watch Uncle Wang play tricks.

After seeing off the guests, Father Lin looked at Lin Jue: "You go to the backyard to see your mother first, you haven't greeted your mother when you come back today! She is so happy. Then come to the study, I have something to say to you! "

Lin Jue replied, "Yes!"

When they came to the backyard, before Lin Jue could say hello, she was embraced by Mrs. Du: "Good boy, you are really proud of your mother! There are so many people here today, who won't boast that I can educate children?"

Lin Jue smiled: "How can a mother praise her son so much? My son is even embarrassed!"

Lin Maoxing grabbed Lin Jue's sleeve in a hurry: "I haven't congratulated my brother yet, congratulations to my brother for being a scholar."

Lin Lang, who was less than four years old, still didn't know what a scholar was, but he followed Lin Mao's example and bowed: "Congratulations, big brother!"

Chun Jiang, who was waiting on the side, brought Lin Jue a cup of tea: "That's right, the uncle was selected as a scholar, and our slaves are also honored. This month is an extra month! I thank the uncle on behalf of the sisters." !"

Du looked at Chunjiang teasing Lin Jue with a smile, and kept silent, looking extremely happy.

After a while, he took Lin Jue's hand: "Brother Jue, today you won the prize of a scholar, do you want to invite some relatives and friends to come to your house for a gathering?"

Lin Jue pondered for a moment: "It's better not to, mother, we have hundreds of scholars in Jiangsu every year. I just took the first step on the road of imperial examination. It's not good to be too ostentatious. Besides, I now I can’t go to the Six Arts Academy anymore, so I have to find another teacher or go to a government school to study, so I can’t give the impression of being impetuous!”

Mrs. Du nodded: "You're right, but then you should hire a teacher from the school!"

Lin Jue nodded yes, and said some gossip before Mrs. Du let Lin Jue leave.

When Lin Jue arrived at Father Lin's study, Father Lin was already waiting there.Father Lin waved his hand, signaling the boys to go down.After Lin Butler closed the door outside, he said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, you are already nine years old this year. I was already an apprentice in the shop at your age. In addition, you already have the reputation of a scholar, and I also I won't treat you like a child anymore."

Seeing Father Lin's serious look, Lin Jue felt a little puzzled, but still straightened up involuntarily: "Father, please tell me, son, listen!"

"Do you know that you are only a scholar, why are your uncles so active in coming to my house to say congratulations?" Seeing that Lin Jue was not as flustered as he imagined, Father Lin couldn't help but feel a little more satisfied, and his voice couldn't help but slowed down.

Lin Jue pondered: "My son is just a little scholar now, what good plans are there for him? It's too early to say that he wants me to protect them from the wind and rain!"

Father Lin flicked his beard: "You are right, but the entire Daqin Dynasty has been passed down for more than two hundred years, and there are only five fingers who have passed the examination for scholars at the young age of less than ten years old. Among them, two of them lived They all only have the fame of scholar, and the other three are all in high positions. Among them, the scholar Qin Gaozu was less than 20 years old and won the first prize. He founded the current Guozijian. The position of Minister of the Household Department. You are the sixth young scholar of the Daqin Dynasty. Now tell me what you think of?"

Hearing this, Lin Jue couldn't help but frowned. He didn't have the habit of watching wild chats in two lifetimes, but he really didn't know what Father Lin said. too big?

Seeing Lin Jue's embarrassment, Father Lin sighed: "You said you would try to take the Tongsheng Examination, but I thought it would be good to kill your vigor. In the end, you passed both the county examination and the government examination, and you still failed to pass the examination. The first place, I can't bear to say that I won't let you take the exam. Once you finish the exam, I will always suffer. I don't know whether I should hope that you will pass the exam, or should I hope that you will not pass the exam. "

Seeing his father's embarrassment, Lin Jue couldn't help feeling a sense of pride: "Father, why are you suffering? Wait for your son to win three yuan in a row, and I will bring you back with a champion!"

Father Lin picked up the book next to his hand and knocked Lin Jue on the head: "You are so arrogant just after reading a few books, and you even won three yuan?"

Seeing Father Lin smile again, no longer frowning, Lin Jue was also grinning after being hit on the head.

"Now your uncles are coming to congratulate you. On the one hand, they want you to remember their personal feelings. On the other hand, they are also paving the way for the future. When you pass the exam, I am afraid that they will come over to do business with you. When the time comes to hold your post, at least those low-level yamen servants will not dare to embarrass them. If I say I don’t want you to get involved in this matter, but you are not young, I want to hear your opinion.”

However, Lin Jue had a bold idea: "Father, doesn't uncle want to do business with us? How about we start a partnership now? I'll make an idea, and they will run it. Let's take the lead."

"Silly boy, doing business is not easy. I was lucky enough to save this family business. Now I just buy a few boats and earn some rent money!"

Lin Jue smiled secretly, it is not easy for me to make money here.Originally, I found some business opportunities, but my family was not short of money, so I didn't bring them up because I was afraid of wasting time.It's not bad to give it to others to make some small money for yourself now.And you don't have to get a business registration yourself, how nice!Furthermore, the money for raising my younger sister should be prepared in advance.

Seeing that Lin Jue didn't speak, Lin's father gave Lin Jue an annoyed look: "As long as you have the real ability, you can do anything! No one can suppress us. I'm afraid that you will be led to a side road by others, and you will be left behind. Hurt Zhongyong's reputation. Don't even think about doing business!"

Lin Jue nodded, and secretly decided to wait until he finished writing the plan before discussing business with his father.

"Apart from those who came to congratulate you today, Master Xuezheng also sent someone to invite you. He said that he would invite the scholar of this department to his house for a gathering in three days. Do you have any rules?"

Lin Jue felt a little fearless at this time: "No matter how I back down, I am the first clerk, just blocking the way of some people. Someone will make things difficult for me. If that is the case, I don't need to give They save face, let them see my true academic ability. Besides, I am the first name appointed by Mr. Xuezheng. As long as I show the skills that I should have, I believe Mr. Xuezheng will protect me mine."

Father Lin nodded: "You are a young boy now, it's okay to be confident, but you must not be too ostentatious." Speaking of this, Father Lin sighed again: "You have such a good talent, if you were born in an official family, why would you be so talented?" Are you frowning over such a trivial matter?"

Lin Jue couldn't help but feel depressed after hearing this: "Why did father say such a thing, it is a son's blessing to be a father's son. It is unfilial for a son to make his father so distressed because of his son's affairs!"

Lin's father also sighed: "If you have a son like this, what more can a father ask for!"

Speaking of this, Lin Jue and Father Lin looked at each other and smiled, suddenly enlightened.That's right, as long as the whole family is together and doing well, those troubles are not too much to overcome, so what are you afraid of?

Even seeing Xuezheng a few days later is not a big deal.
