The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

The next day, Lin Yao went to look for Lin Ying, but she didn't want Lin Ying to go to the Hanlin Academy and not be at home.

Lin Yao planned to put down Qin Yuxing's congratulatory gifts and leave, but she didn't want the stewards in the mansion to stop Lin Yao.

"Young master Lin, wait a moment."

Lin Yao stopped, turned around and looked at the steward, "What's the matter?"

"Master has told the villain that if Mr. Lin comes, let Mr. Lin sit inside and wait for the master to come back." The steward said while leading Lin Yao into the room.

Lin Yao shook her head, "Forget it, it will be the same when I come back another day."

"Master said, if Mr. Lin comes, send someone to inform him immediately. The villain has already sent people to the Hanlin Academy. Mr. Lin, please sit down for a while. Master will be back soon."

Hearing this, Lin Yao had no choice but to sit down.

Not long after, Lin Ying came back.

However, I haven't seen him for a few months, and the changes in Lin Ying can be seen with the naked eye. Although he is still a young man, compared to the past, he is much more stable.

Lin Ying seemed to be in a very good mood, she insisted on staying at home with Lin Yao, the kindness was hard to refrain from, so Lin Yao asked Ye He to go back and tell her to stay at Lin Ying's house.

After staying for two nights, Mrs. Jiang, who was far away in Gusu, took Lin Chen's family and her son, Lin Yu, to the capital. As for Lin Run, Mrs. Jiang only announced that Lin Run was seriously ill and could not walk, and now he was recuperating in bed in Gusu. ,

If Lin Run is seriously ill, he can only deceive the uninformed.

Lin Yao knew very well that Mrs. Jiang forced Lin Run to stay in Gusu, and the purpose was to let Lin Run live in peace, so as not to disturb Lin Ying's happy event.

Although Lin Run was tall and tall, he was just a frail scholar. Mrs. Jiang had many guards who were skilled in martial arts, all of whom were hired by Mrs. Jiang at a high price. If she wanted to keep Lin Run in Gusu, it was simply too much. easy.

Lin Ying has completely given up on Lin Run. Knowing all about Lin Run's problems, he doesn't want Lin Run to appear at his wedding, even though Lin Run is his biological father.

Apparently, Mrs. Jiang was also aware of this, so she deliberately kept Lin Run in Gusu, and she didn't want Lin Run to be an eyesore to Lin Ying. After all, Lin Ying is the most promising Lin family's son in their second wife.

Lin Hong's eldest son, Lin Xuan, the eldest son of the eldest son of the house, Lin Hong's eyes have almost grown to the sky since he passed the exam a few years ago. Lin Xuan is ten years older than Lin Ying. Lin Ying met Yuan in high school, but Lin Xuan failed the ranking.

Even though Lin Ying was the first wife's legitimate son and was not born to her, Mrs. Jiang still felt honored.

Although Mrs. Jiang was only one year older than Lin Ying, she was Lin Ying's stepmother after all. If Lin Run couldn't come, it was natural that Mrs. Jiang would come forward to prepare for his wedding.

As for Lin Yao, after Mrs. Jiang arrived in the capital, she went back to live in the Lin Mansion.

Lin Ying's wedding is scheduled for the end of June.

After attending Lin Ying's wedding, Lin Yao couldn't stay in the capital for long, so she returned to Yangzhou on another day.

After returning to Yangzhou, Lin Yao worked harder and harder, and even his friends around him also worked hard together.

In August's college exam, Xie Yan failed this time, and won the first place in the exam without any suspense.

After the year-end exams of the academy, the library will be disbanded.

Lin Yao returned to Beijing with Gu Zhen and Liang Cheng.

It was New Year's Eve again, just after the new year, Lin Yao signed in and clocked in as usual, and clicked on the task habitually, and saw that the main task was updated.

[Main task: Please pass the Jieyuan test before the age of 15. 】

[Reward: 50 years of internal strength. 】

Looking at this main task, Lin Yao couldn't help frowning.

The magical skills and swordsmanship rewarded by Xiao Sanyuan in the exam are obviously far more valuable than the rewards of Jie Yuan in the exam.

Logically speaking, it is more difficult to solve the yuan in the exam, why is the reward reduced instead?

Lin Yao couldn't figure it out, his cheat was like a stand-alone game, and he had to figure it out entirely by himself.

Forget it, don't think about it if you don't understand it, since the main mission rewards this, it must be useful.

The township examination is held every three years, and the next provincial examination is in August of the fifth year of Shunlong. Now that New Year’s Eve has just passed, and it has been the fourth year of Shunlong, Lin Yao has not much time left, and he only has one chance. If this time He failed the first place in the exam, Jie Yuan, not to mention that he could not get the task reward, and he didn't know if there would be a penalty for failure.

After all, this is a stand-alone golden finger, and he has to figure out everything by himself, just like the reputation and points before. He has been thinking about how to accumulate reputation and points, but he didn't expect to get achievements, which is very cheating.

Although the task interface does not show that there is a penalty for task failure, what if?

So I went back to Yangzhou again. Whether it was Lin Yao’s friends or his teacher Qin Yuxing, they all found that Lin Yao was studying more seriously than before. In addition to the daily lessons, he would also go to Qin Yuxing for advice. It's less than four hours.

At the beginning of September, Lin Yao received a letter from Lin Ying that his sister-in-law Shen gave birth to a son for him, and he named him Lin Jin.

Lin Ying said in the letter that he would never become Lin Run's kind of person, and he would definitely be responsible for his children to the end.

I have to say that Lin Run is a scourge that is really annoying, and his shadow is everywhere.

Lin Yao took out a security lock from her backpack, carried it back with her in the letter.

Back in the capital at the end of the year, Lin Yao still wanted to talk about going to see her little nephew, but she didn't want to miss out. In mid-November, Lin Ying received a letter from Uncle Gusu saying that her grandmother was seriously ill.

Lin Ying asked for leave early and returned to Gusu with his wife and children. When the year came, she heard that the old lady had died of illness.

Lin Ying is a direct grandson, and he has to keep his filial piety for a year, so he can only take care of his son Ding You.

Although Lin Ying kept filial piety for her grandmother, Lin Yao was not worried about Lin Ying.

Lin Ying's father-in-law was the elder brother of the current empress, and with this relationship, it would not be difficult for Lin Ying to recover after the filial piety.

After the new year, Gu Zhen also made an engagement. The other party was the daughter of a famous official in Jinling, and she was the cousin of Li Shi, the wife of Jia Zhu in the Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Yao only heard about Gu Zhen's engagement after arriving in Yangzhou.

"Girl from the Li family, from the Li family in Jinling?" Lin Yao had an impression of the Li family in Jinling, which was also entrusted to the Jia family.

Gu Zhen said, "It's the girl from their family."

"The Li family is a family of poems and books, and the girls in their family must be good." Lin Yao said with a sigh, "In a blink of an eye, you are already engaged, time flies so fast."

Gu Zhen hooked Lin Yao's shoulders, and joked with a smile, "Ah Yao has moved her mind and wants to get married? What do you think of my sister?"

Lin Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard the words, she pulled Gu Zhen's hand, and said angrily, "Don't say this outside, let people hear it, and you won't be afraid of hurting your sister's reputation."

"Why are you still like this?" Seeing the mention of marriage, Lin Yao's reaction was still so evasive, Gu Zhen couldn't help frowning, "A Yao, tell me the truth, you probably don't like girls, right?"

This is straightforward and straightforward, and tactful and tactful.

Lin Yao heard the meaning of Gu Zhen's words, and couldn't help rolling her eyes, "I really want to pry open your brain and see how much water has entered your brain."

Being pissed off by Lin Yao, Gu Zhen rubbed his nose, "It's not my fault for thinking so, when I was your age, I would more or less think about what kind of girl I would marry, but you... have none at all. This kind of thinking is really strange.”

"..." Lin Yao looked at him speechlessly, "I don't even bother to talk to you."

"Speaking of which, even if you don't want to, doesn't your wife show you girls?" Since he was 13 years old, his mother has been showing him girls non-stop. A girl from the Li family in Jinling.

The wife of the Lin family, Mrs. Jia, and his mother have been friends for many years, and they have a congenial temperament. It stands to reason... Mrs. Lin's family should also show Lin Yao a girl.

"My wife never mentioned any girls to me," Lin Yao said, "I'm only thirteen, why worry?"

My body is not yet fully developed, so I don't worry about my body being overwhelmed by thinking so much.

"Okay, okay, you're still young, okay?" Gu Zhen rolled his eyes speechlessly, thinking, just because his sister has a good relationship with Daiyu, there is a high probability that Lin Yao will marry his sister.

Lin Yao loves his sister so much, she will more or less consider what kind of sister-in-law Daiyu is willing to accept?

The two walked towards the school dormitory, while chatting, Gu Zhen suddenly widened his eyes, "What did you say? You want to take this year's provincial examination? Are you crazy? You are only fourteen, I think you should accumulate for another two years, lest... "Failed to be hit.

Although Gu Zhen's words were not finished, Lin Yao knew him well, so she naturally knew what his unfinished words meant, she smiled and said, "I don't do things that I'm not sure about, let alone the teacher said, my current level, I can't pass the exam. There is no problem raising people."

But if you want to pass the test, you have to look at your luck.

"Oh... no wonder you have been asking the dean for more than a year. It seems that you have already made up your mind to take this year's provincial examination."

Thinking of the past year, Lin Yao would go to the dean for advice every day. At that time, she thought that Lin Yao just loved learning, but now it seems that Lin Yao has long planned.

Knowing that the plan was right, Lin Yao smiled and didn't speak.

Near the township examination, Lin Yao reduced the time to go to the school, and spent almost all day in Qin Yuxing's yard. After all, Qin Yuxing is the dean of Shanhai Academy, and he has a lot of things at hand. How can there be so much free time to guide Lin Yao all day long?

When Lin Yao came to ask him for advice again, Qin Yuxing took Lin Yao back to the Qin Mansion, and handed Lin Yao over to his father.

That is Qin Daru, Qin Fu.

Lin Yao often followed Qin Yu to visit Mr. Qin, so to Mr. Qin, Lin Yao was considered a half-grandson, and Mr. Qin liked Lin Yao quite a lot.

Every time Lin Yao came to Mr. Qin's place, he always gained something, so he was not angry at all when he was thrown to Mr. Qin's place by Qin Yuxing, and he was even happy to live directly in Mr. Qin's courtyard.

Lin Yao stayed here for a few months. It was not until July that Lin Yao left Qin Fu, packed her things and went to Jinling.

After arriving in Jinling, on the way back home, Lin Yao unexpectedly ran into Guo Xiao.

Guo Xiao was kicked out by the people in the inn.

Lin Yao told the person who carried the sedan chair to stop and get out of the sedan chair.

"Yixiu!"

Guo Xiao was holding his own baggage, and was angrily trying to reason with the inn guy, but he didn't expect to hear a familiar voice.

Turning around, I saw Lin Yao standing not far away.

"Ayao?"

Lin Yao walked over, "It's really you? Why are you in Jinling?"

"I plan to take the provincial examination this year." Guo Xiao said.

Lin Yao was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and wanted to ask him why he was in such a hurry to take the provincial examination, but she swallowed the words. Since Guo Xiao decided to take the provincial examination, he must have thought it through carefully, Guo Xiao is not an impulsive person.

"Yixiu, what's going on?" Lin Yao asked, looking at the ashes-stained baggage in Guo Xiao's hand.

Guo Xiao got angry when he mentioned this, and told Lin Yao what happened.

It turned out that Guo Xiao arrived in Jinling a few days earlier. He was afraid that there would be no room in the inn, so he deliberately booked a room in advance. Unexpectedly, a rich boy spent several times the money and took his room. Just threw his baggage out.

Although he said that the money was returned to him, Guo Xiao didn't care about the money. The township examination was approaching, and he needed a place to stay.
