Uncle Lin fell from the sky [Red Mansion + Qing Chuan]

In this way, Lin Zi really left the capital, went to the nearby Caohe Wharf in Tongzhou, boarded the boat and went to Yangzhou smoothly. Come here with some comfort.

At this moment, the river transportation is very prosperous. Apart from the small boats shuttled back and forth on the river, there are also many large ships docked at the pier. Every day, materials and commodities from all over the world will be continuously transported from here to the capital, and at the same time connect the provinces along the river. .

Lin Zizhen took the boat to the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the people traveling with him were businessmen, and there were a few Jinshi like him. However, they could barely chat with each other along the way, but Lin Zizhen couldn't get close to them. There is a big difference in concepts between them, and the generation gap of thousands of years is vividly reflected at this moment.

For example, wearing a businessman, occasionally Lin Zizhen would chat and chat with these people. After all, compared to this era, most people will never leave their hometowns in their lifetime. The farthest place they go may be the local county town or provincial capital.These businessmen who traveled north and south were undoubtedly well-informed.

But because of this, Lin Zizhen received the whispers of these Jinshi, and always felt as if he talked a few more words with these businessmen, and he became inferior.It's not that they look down on merchants at all. If it were a big salt merchant like Yangzhou, they would be willing to be invited to have a chat.

For example, the Pang family who was on the same boat with them, the well-known salt merchants in Yangzhou, these Jinshi were willing to drink two cups of green tea with him peacefully.

From Lin Zizhen's point of view, this is unavoidable, and it is not the work of a gentleman.But both the ordinary businessmen and the students felt that it was normal and there was no problem.I even feel that this is the normal style of a scholar.

However, although they felt that Lin Zizhen had lost some character and was a little timid, they were still willing to get close to him, not to mention that Lin Zizhen entered the Imperial Academy at a young age, and he probably had a good future in the future. He is easy to talk and funny, and he is also a good person worth interacting with.

If Lin Zi really knew this, he would be even more speechless. Is he making friends casually?

But in ancient times, the division of status was very clear. Scholars did not want to be with merchants. It was not just talk. In their hearts, they really divided the two into different people. In fact, this is also a way for them to protect their own interests. .Otherwise, there are so many people who are willing to study hard for ten years.

However, he is also a person who has experienced a lot of trials in the society. Even though the three views are different, Lin Zizhen does not blindly reject or dislike him. Aren't most people in this world seeking common ground while reserving differences?Even if you don't agree or understand, don't criticize the other party easily.

Moreover, they will all be Jinshi who will settle in the capital in the future, and they will inevitably have to deal with them.

Along the river, sail all the way down the river, passing through Jiangsu, Huai'an, and then to Yangzhou.When the group separated, they also enthusiastically agreed on a time to return to the capital together.

Yangzhou deserves to be a famous historical city and a paradise for fireworks all the time. At this moment, people are coming and going at the wharf, and the goods on the side are piled up like a hill, which is very lively.

He was still watching the Yangzhou pier in this era, when suddenly he heard a servant wearing a blue short jacket shouting at him: "Young Master, Young Master is back."

After finishing speaking, he politely came up to carry something for Lin Zizhen.Lin Zizhen only felt that he seemed familiar, but after a while, he realized that he seemed to be the servant of his wife and brother.

Hearing the movement here, two half-grown teenagers ran over quickly, looking about sixteen or seventy-eight, Lin Zizhen quickly realized that one was his nephew, Lin Qingming.The other is Sun Jiawen, his brother-in-law.

After winning the Jinshi, he sent a letter back early, but he only said an approximate time, presumably the two of them should come here to sit around from time to time.

When the two saw him looking at him adoringly, they were a little afraid at first. After all, the original owner always liked to put on a straight face towards these two people, and didn't like them bothering him to study his homework.

But at this moment, I heard that this little uncle/brother-in-law passed the examination of Jinshi in one fell swoop, No. Still just a child.There are so many people in the country, Lin Zizhen got No.2 in the exam, why not let them admire.

At this moment, it was rare to forget that he was really in awe of Lin Zi in the past, and surrounded the people, asking questions curiously.

"Brother-in-law, is the capital fun? Are the eaves of the palace really made of gold? Have you seen the emperor?"

"Uncle, is the Luming Banquet fun? How does it feel to ride a horse through the streets?"

Lin Zizhen answered the questions of the two with a smile. As a long-term surfer who often brags with customers, he has a lot of experience in communicating with people.

"The capital city is fun. There are Liulichang, alleys, and Shichahai. If you are lucky, you may be able to find some real antiques in Liulichang...

Of course, the eaves of the palace are not made of gold, otherwise people will miss it every day. Even if there are no such bold thieves, the ordinary people who go to pay their respects every day will cause headaches for the guards patrolling the capital.As for riding a horse through the streets, hey, I only know that I have been concentrating on how to control the horse. Those flowers that fell from the sky, embroidered handkerchiefs, hit my face, and made my horse sneeze and feel unhappy. Yes, very embarrassing.

I don’t want to be like the champion man in front of me, who was upset by the horse and left him to run away. In the end, the champion man was surrounded by people who came to watch, and finally broke out of the tight encirclement. You didn’t see it, and the bun was messed up. , the dress is also crooked, and a huge red peony is stuck on the head, but it is not uncommon for people to take advantage of it.

Everyone gave him a nickname, Peony Red Zhuangyuan Lang. "

The two teenagers listened with gusto, and became closer to Lin Zizhen.

When he arrived at Lin Zizhen's house, it was obvious that someone had cleaned his house in advance, and it was very clean.Presumably it was either the Sun family or the Lin family.Lin Zizhen put his things down and persuaded Sun Jiawen to go back first. He and Lin Qingming had to go to visit the patriarch and worship the ancestors first, which would inevitably take a lot of time.

Only tomorrow can I visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and see the child left by the original owner.

Sun Jiawen also knew that her brother-in-law had business to do, so she kept telling her brother-in-law to come over early tomorrow, everyone was looking forward to him.

And Lin Zizhen didn't rest, he didn't get seasick, and he was very bored after staying in such a small place on the boat for so many days, so he might as well walk around and do all the things that should be done.

Lin Zizhen followed Lin Qingming to visit the patriarch first, and said that their Lin family moved from Gusu at the beginning, and they can be regarded as the scholarly family of the previous generation. It's brilliant, but the family is getting more and more declining. It's not because the successors don't do anything, but because the Lin family doesn't know why the population has not been prosperous. Most of them are short of children. They finally hoped for one.

So much so that this street was originally filled with children of the Lin family, but now more of them are empty yards.As for the older generation of the Lin family, there are only two, one is Lin Qingming's grandfather, who is also the patriarch of the Lin family, and the other is Lin Baye, who is also 50 years old now, because white-haired people send black-haired people, He simply took his wife and went back to the Gusu tribe to guard the tomb.

Counting the Gusu side, the Lin family is such a big family that there are only about a hundred people now.

Because of the situation of the Lin family, when Lin Ruhai passed away, he only handed over the land under his name to the clan. From the clan land, most of the others were sold, part of it was handed over to the court, and the rest was left to the only daughter under his knee.No one in the family objected. After all, the Lin family's attention was on how to continue the future generations, and all they thought about was how to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. How dare they do such a thing of making a fortune.

No, there was someone who objected, and this person was the original owner, but no matter how he seemed to cover it up, no one knew the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Compared with other tribesmen, he has a closer relationship with Lin Ruhai. It can even be said that Lin Ruhai is half of the teacher of the original owner. I used to live in Lin Ruhai's house for two years, and was called Lord every day by the people below. I really felt that I would be the one who inherited everything in the Lin family.

I don't want to, after Lin Ruhai left, he only left three boxes of books for him. Thinking of this, Lin Zi really has a toothache. How come the three boxes of books have become some books with the original owner? I don't know how greedy this person is.There was resentment once, and of course I didn't think about gratitude.

Lin Qingming's grandfather, the patriarch of the Lin family, an old man in his fifties, looked thin but in good spirits. Seeing Lin Zizhen coming now, he was very happy and praised him repeatedly.It is unavoidable to say that Lin's father and Lin's mother have passed away. At that time, Lin's father was also a high school scholar. It's a pity, but fortunately, Lin Qingming, the posthumous son, was left behind, so he didn't lose his blood.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help telling him earnestly: "Since you have entered the Imperial Academy, you should do things well and be worthy of your heart. However, you should also pay attention to your health when you are out alone. Only when you have a good health can you think about other things." The old man also sighed.

Lin Zi really didn't want the old man to worry about this matter. You must know that Lin Qingming's father and his clan brother also passed away early.Immediately changed the subject and talked about Sister Lin.

"Fourth Uncle, when I entered Beijing this time, I found that the only daughter left by Twelfth Uncle was not doing well in Jia's mansion. It was entrusted to Jia's family, but I heard that there are many rumors about marriage between gold and stone in that mansion, I think if this is true, I will take my niece out."

Hearing this, the old man became angry all of a sudden, and said loudly: "At the beginning, I just asked a few more questions, but his son guarded me like a thief, because he was afraid that we would miss what Ru Hai left behind. No matter how good the gold and silver are, can they save lives? What our Lin family lacks is the heirs and the health of the children.

It's just that it's Ruhai's will, so I don't have much to say.Hey, speaking of it, Ru Hai's arrangement is not bad, but the changeable thing in this world is the human heart.After all, you have suffered that girl. Fortunately, you have a heart, and it is not in vain for Ruhai to teach you back then.

It's good to take that girl back, after all, she is also our own child.At that time, I will write a letter to you in the name of the patriarch, and you will take it away. When you go to pick up people, if they dare to make things difficult, you can take it out and see what they dare to say, but the things left by Ruhai are afraid. I can't get it back.

But if you are a good person, you will be fine. In the future, we will choose that child to a good family, and we will give her a share of the dowry. "

It can be seen that this is a decent family, Lin Zizhen smiled: "Okay, I listen to the fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle will go out, and they dare to make trouble there." This is indeed the case, and many people underestimated it in ancient times. The strength of a clan.Moreover, the child follows the father, even if the child's mother clan is powerful, the father clan has the final say on the child's affairs.

Hearing Lin Zizhen's words, the old man laughed. "You kid, after going out for a while, you are much more lively. Let's go, let's go to the ancestral hall."

Next, they burned incense to offer sacrifices to their ancestors, and had a meal with the clansmen. After a busy night, they rested.

The next day, at dawn, Lin Zizhen woke up naturally, washed up, and went out to visit his mother-in-law's house.The Sun family originally started as a merchant, and used to be a well-known local salt merchant. Later, they didn’t know that they might have made enough money, so they sold all the salt tickets in their hands, and began to buy land wantonly, turning from business to agriculture. It was the third year, that is to say, in this area, Sun Jiawen could take part in the scientific examination.Once the exam is passed, the Sun family can change families.

From this we can also see the determination of the Sun family, three generations are preparing for this time.

For Lin Zizhen, a son-in-law who has already stepped into the officialdom, it is even more important. After his daughter died of dystocia, he specially took over his grandson to take care of him. Apart from his compassion, he also did not want to let go of his relationship with Lin Zizhen.

So, at this moment, Lin Zizhen, as soon as he stepped into the Sun's residence, the subordinates of the Sun's residence were overwhelmed with enthusiasm, and they all said hello, my uncle, and my uncle is here.The wealth accumulated by the Sun Mansion over the years can be seen from the Nuoda house, with green willows hanging around, winding corridors, water pavilions and towers, all showing the beauty of Yangzhou gardens.

Lin Zizhen followed the servant girl on the lush and beautiful carved corridor, when suddenly a chubby three or four-year-old child ran in front of him, wearing a big red bellyband with exquisite fat koi embroidered on it, followed by many maids and mother-in-law .

I saw the child with a sky cannon tied to his head, looking up at Lin Zizhen with great difficulty. Similarly, Lin Zizhen looked at him again, and he was well-raised at first glance, with big eyes, a cute little round face, and hanging on both sides of his cheeks. The baby's fat, coupled with the fat three-headed body, is very cute.

Before Lin Zizhen and the surrounding maids could say anything, they ran back when they saw the child, shouting: "The beautiful daddy is here, as beautiful as me, beautiful..."

Seeing this scene, the maids and women in the back hurriedly greeted the uncle, then turned around and chased him, shouting: "Master Sun, slow down, slow down, be careful not to fall."

Lin Zizhen also realized that this skinny kid was his cheap son, he was cute, but he was also narcissistic.

When Lin Zizhen came to Ningxinyuan with a smile, he saw the little fat man cuddling in his mother-in-law's arms and acting like a baby. Now that Lin Zizhen came in, he hurriedly got up from the old lady's arms, sat up straight, and shook the With short legs, he shouted sweetly to Lin Zizhen: "Daddy."

Lin Zizhen said in a funny way: "How do you know that I am your father? Are you not afraid of admitting the wrong person?"

The child was not at all stage frightened, so he slid down from the stool, pulled Lin Zizhen, pointed at himself and said, "It's just as beautiful, let's see, Daddy is here today." After speaking, he laughed.

Lin Zizhen understood what he said, patted his head, and said with a smile: "Wow, congratulations on guessing right, you are really too smart."

The child became happier all of a sudden, hugged Lin Zizhen's thigh, and played with the pendant hanging on his waist.

On the contrary, Mrs. Sun, the original owner's mother-in-law was a little embarrassed. On the one hand, she felt sorry for her grandson and was unwilling to restrain him. On the other hand, she was afraid of being her own son-in-law.

Seeing that the son-in-law doesn't care and is good to the child, I finally let go of half of my heart.Just thinking about what her husband said last night, she still felt very uncomfortable, but she quickly regained her senses and cheered up to talk to her son-in-law.

There was a talking child in the middle, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. When Sun Jiawen and Master Sun came, the family talked for a while, and Lin Zi really used dinner. He planned to try to take his son home to get used to it. At this time, Master Sun seemed to have something to do, so he invited him to the study. Sun Jiawen, who was next to him, seemed unhappy and hesitated to speak.

Soon, Lin Zizhen knew what was going on.After listening to Master Sun's words, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he quickly rejected Master Sun's proposal.

Seeing him like this, Master Sun hurriedly persuaded: "My son-in-law, if the status of An'er you lack is too low, just stay with me and be a concubine, and it won't delay your future marriage, and An'er is the child's child after all." Auntie, with her on the side, I can take care of the children more, and your mother-in-law and I feel more at ease."

Marry my sister-in-law and forgive him, he can't accept it.And as a modern person, when he marries a wife, he hopes to find someone he likes, not to carry on the family line, or else he would have married and had children at the beginning, instead of getting married at 35 and not yet married.

Immediately, he hurriedly said sincerely: "Father-in-law, I have no intention of marrying again now. Sister An'er is just like my own sister. Father-in-law, stop talking like that."

Seeing that Lin Zizhen was so resistant, Mr. Sun couldn't say anything more. He didn't want to give up this son-in-law, but he didn't want to make enemies with others, but with his grandson, even if it became weaker in the future, the relationship would not be broken.

Lin Zi really ran away, and ran away with his son. At the beginning, the child was quite happy. He liked this father, he was as good-looking as him, and he felt happy seeing him.But gradually the sky gradually darkened, and the child became a little scared. If he wanted to cry, there was no grandmother here.

Fortunately, there was a wet nurse and a familiar girl at the side, and after tossing for a while, he fell asleep.

And at this moment, Kyoto, the outer city, and Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Daiyu was tossing and turning. Today, Sister Bao asked someone to send a lot of things from Yangzhou. She thanked Sister Bao for her concern. Looking at these delicate sachet fans, she felt very homesick. Unfortunately, now that her father is gone No more, no home.

She didn't know what to do with herself in the future, Baoyu was really kind to her, but the second aunt didn't like her very much, now the only thing she can rely on in this house is her grandmother, but...

All the empresses in the palace have expressed their preference for Sister Bao. During this time, Sister Bao has been very careful with her, and she always has this apology. She actually doesn’t blame Sister Bao. Everyone is helpless. Will grandma also Give her up, if... where can she go, the world is so big, but there is no place to rest, if only she can have a relative... Thinking of this, I hide in the quilt and cry again up.
