[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Emperor Qinglong sat down beside the empress, and said to Lin Huaiyu and the others who were kneeling on the ground: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although Lin Huaiyu was curious about what Emperor Qinglong looked like, he did not look up at Emperor Qinglong secretly. After all, looking directly at Longyan is a serious crime.

Emperor Qinglong looked at Lin Huaiyu who was standing with his head bowed, and said, "Lin Huaiyu raised his head, let me have a look."

Lin Huaiyu raised her head in compliance with the imperial decree, but her eyes were still lowered.

When Emperor Qinglong saw Lin Huaiyu's face, he was slightly startled, and then said with a smile: "No wonder Lao Ye and Lao Song said that Lin Ruhai was lucky enough to find a good son after walking away." Don't say anything else, just say Lin Ruhai's son His appearance is really outstanding.

The Empress smiled and said, "Isn't Lord Ye lucky now?"

Hearing what the empress said, Emperor Qinglong thought it was true.

"If I have to tell you, Ye Wenfu really got a big deal." After speaking, he looked at Lin Huaiyu again, "Lin Huaiyu."

Lin Huaiyu: "The students are here."

"Your policy is well written." Over the years, Emperor Qinglong has learned a lot about Lin Huaiyu from Ye Wenfu and Song Xiuwen. Although he has never met Lin Huaiyu, in Emperor Qinglong's heart, Lin Huaiyu is a very interesting person. Reiki child.Seeing Lin Huaiyu himself now, he did not disappoint him. "The article [Water can carry a boat and capsize it] that you wrote during the college entrance examination was well written."

Facing Emperor Qinglong, Lin Huaiyu acted neither humble nor overbearing, neither flustered nor flustered: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Emperor Qinglong naturally found that when Lin Huaiyu saw him at a young age, not only did he not panic, but was very calm and stable, which surprised him very much.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​using the phrase [Water can carry a boat and also overturn it] to write [Benevolence]?"

The title of the policy topic of the college examination is "benevolence", and the scope of the word [ren] is too wide.At that time, Lin Huaiyu's first reaction was [benevolent government] and [benevolent monarch].

For all emperors, the praise they hope to get is 【仁政】 and 【仁君】.Besides [Mingjun] and [Mingzheng], [Renzheng] and [Renjun] are the best evaluations of the emperor.

When Lin Huaiyu was reviewing the questions, he felt that the test of "benevolence" should not be a test of benevolence and righteousness, but of "benevolent government".

When it comes to [benevolent government] and [benevolent monarch], the first thing Lin Huaiyu thinks of is Tang Taizong.When I think of Tang Taizong, I think of his very famous sentence "Water can carry a boat and overturn it", and he wrote "Renzheng" and "Renjun" with this sentence.

Facing Emperor Qinglong's inquiry, Lin Huaiyu expressed his thoughts calmly and confidently.

Emperor Qinglong looked at Lin Huaiyu's elegant and chatting appearance, and his eyes flashed with admiration.

The empress had read Lin Huaiyu's answer sheet and knew what he wrote about "Water can carry a boat and overturn it", so she was not surprised to hear him say that now, but Jia Yuanchun was different.

When Jia Yuanchun entered the palace to participate in the draft, he stayed in the palace as a female historian.As a female historian, Jia Yuanchun's knowledge is naturally not low.

When she heard Lin Huaiyu say what he thought, she was shocked.She didn't expect Lin Huaiyu to have such good knowledge at such a young age.

After Lin Huaiyu finished talking about the theory, Emperor Qinglong began to test him.

The questions posed by Emperor Qinglong were much more difficult than those posed by the empress, but Lin Huaiyu still answered them.

In fact, it can be seen from Lin Huaiyu's answers to the test papers that his basic skills are very solid, and he must have studied hard at ordinary times.However, there are many people who work hard and study hard, but not everyone is smart.In reading, it is also necessary to pay attention to talent.Some people only know how to read dead books. He can answer the dead content about the Four Books and Five Classics, but he can't answer the policy.

Policy theory is the most difficult question in all imperial examinations, and it is also the most important question.It can be said that if you answered all the questions in the previous Four Books and Five Classics correctly, but your answers to policy theory questions are messy, then you will definitely fail the imperial examination.

If you answer the policy questions well, but the previous questions of the Four Books and Five Classics are not very good, sometimes you will be admitted exceptionally.

There are so many students who take the imperial examination every year, why so few students pass the exam, the main reason is that they are focusing on policy topics.

Emperor Qinglong examined the content of Lin Huaiyu's Four Books and Five Classics, the Scriptures and Mo Yi, and the poems and songs.Lin Huaiyu gave all the correct answers, which made Emperor Qinglong appreciate him even more.

"Yes, it has the demeanor of your father back then."

"Thank you, the emperor, for your compliment, but the student is still far behind his father." Lin Ruhai's writing style is golden, while Lin Huaiyu's writing style is blue.

"You are still young, you can still learn." Emperor Qinglong looked very gentle and kind, "How does it feel to pass the exam?"

Lin Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard Emperor Qinglong mention Xiao Sanyuan, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"I was very happy at first, but now I can't be happy."

Emperor Qinglong was surprised by this answer, and he asked with great interest, "Why aren't you happy now?"

Lin Huaiyu said with a bitter face: "Because the student passed the junior three-yuan exam, many people hope that the student will make persistent efforts to pass the middle school three-yuan exam." He knew what Emperor Qinglong was going to say next, so let's say it first.

After hearing this, Emperor Qinglong burst out laughing: "Hahahaha..." He didn't expect Lin Ruhai's son to be so funny.

Lin Huaiyu was speechless, thinking what was so funny about this.

Emperor Qinglong asked with a smile: "You don't want to take the exam for Zhongda-San-Yuan?"

"Your Majesty, it's a lie to say that you don't want to be admitted to the University of Sanyuan, but the students have a lot of energy and not enough spare time. The University of Sanyuan is not as easy to take as the Junior Sanyuan."

"Your adoptive father said in front of me that he wants you to be admitted to Zhongda-San-Yuan."

Lin Huaiyu frowned, and said pitifully, "The student can only do his best."

"Hahahahaha..." Emperor Qinglong was amused by Lin Huaiyu again.

"Your kid's paintings are pretty good."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Emperor Qinglong also liked painting, so he chatted with Lin Huaiyu about painting.

Although Lin Huaiyu has only studied painting for a few years, he is very talented in painting, and it is easy to chat with Emperor Qinglong about painting.

Seeing Lin Huaiyu talking to Emperor Qinglong, the empress not only didn't feel nervous or afraid at all, but was also very calm and confident, marveling at Lin Huaiyu's stability in her heart.

Jia Yuanchun, who was sitting by the side, was already speechless by Lin Huaiyu's shock.Although she had heard a lot about Lin Huaiyu and knew that he was good at reading and had passed Xiaosanyuan in the imperial examination, she did not expect him to be so good.Not only that, this kid is actually very good at painting.The most important thing is that the child didn't feel any embarrassment when facing the emperor, on the contrary, he behaved very generously and decently.

When she saw the emperor for the first time, she was very nervous and cramped, her hands were sweaty, her legs were a little weak, and she almost lost her manners in front of the imperial court.After seeing the emperor, she still had lingering fears in her heart, and she didn't recover from the majesty of the emperor for several days.

Among other things, cousin Lin's calmness when facing the emperor is very impressive.

Emperor Qinglong chatted with Lin Huaiyu for a while, and found that this child was not only intelligent and stable, but also very interesting.Chatting with him is easy and comfortable.Unexpectedly, the upright Lin Ruhai would teach such an interesting son.

"It's almost time, Empress, let's go to the Imperial Garden, or that old fellow Ye Wenfu won't be able to wait."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lin Huaiyu and his group moved from Kunning Palace to the Imperial Garden.When they arrived at the Royal Garden, the ceremony of recognizing the relatives officially began.

Emperor Qinglong and the Empress sat on the top, witnessing the marriage recognition ceremony of Ye Wenfu, his wife and Lin Huaiyu in person.

The recognition ceremony was presided over by Song Xiuwen.As a good friend of Lin Ruhai and Ye Wenfu, it is most appropriate for him to preside over the marriage recognition ceremony.

In ancient times, the recognition of relatives was also a very important thing, and the recognition ceremony would be held very solemnly, and some people would even hold it in the ancestral hall.

Lin Huaiyu and the others first held a marriage recognition ceremony in the palace under the witness of Emperor Qinglong and the empress.When they return to Ye Mansion, Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu will meet the ancestors of Ye Mansion.After that, Ye Wenfu would write a letter back to his hometown, asking the people in the family to write the names of Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu on the family tree.By doing this, he was telling the people in the clan that Ye Wenfu had a adopted son and daughter, and that in the future there would be a adopted son and adopted daughter for the husband and wife to die, and the clan members should no longer worry about their retirement.

Although Lin Huaiyu's family recognition ceremony seemed simple, it was very grand, after all, there were Emperor Qinglong and the Empress as witnesses.

Under the auspices of Song Xiuwen, Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu first kowtowed three times to Ye Wenfu and his wife, and then offered tea.

After Ye Wenfu and his wife drank the tea offered by Lin Huaiyu and the others, the recognition ceremony was over.Afterwards, Emperor Qinglong and the empress congratulated Ye Wenfu and his wife on their adopted son and daughter, and told Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu to be filial to Ye Wenfu and his wife.

Before leaving, Emperor Qinglong and the Empress both rewarded Lin Huaiyu and his sister with things.Emperor Qinglong and the Empress urged Lin Huaiyu to study hard and try to get into the university three years later.

At this time, Lin Huaiyu and the others had already left the palace and were on their way back to Ye Mansion.

Madam Ye praised Lin Huaiyu's performance in front of Emperor Qinglong just now.She was worried that brother Huai and the others would be too scared to speak when they saw the emperor, but she didn't expect that brother Huai was not afraid at all and acted very calmly.

"Brother Huai, I didn't expect you to be so courageous that you don't panic when talking to the emperor." Mrs. Ye felt that she was not as good as Lin Huaiyu in this regard.Every time she saw the emperor, she couldn't help being afraid and nervous.

"The emperor is very amiable, people can't help but want to get close, so I'm not afraid." This made Lin Huaiyu feel like throwing up, but that's all he could say, he couldn't be really not afraid of Emperor Qinglong.He is not a native of ancient times, and has no instinctive fear of the emperor, so when facing Emperor Qinglong, he will not be frightened or disturbed.

When Ye Wenfu heard Lin Huaiyu's words, he dismantled the stage bluntly: "It's a good flattery." As Emperor Qinglong's confidants, Ye Wenfu and the others knew Emperor Qinglong best, and the words amiable and amiable were the same as Qinglong's. God has nothing to do with it.

Being exposed by Ye Wenfu, Lin Huaiyu was not embarrassed: "Father, it is a virtue to see whether it is broken or not."

Ye Wenfu was amused by Lin Huaiyu's words, and scolded with a smile, "Spoof."

Mrs. Ye really believed Lin Huaiyu's words just now, but she didn't expect it.

"You child is really brave. Do you know how many ministers are afraid of seeing the emperor?" Don't talk about her, let alone all the civil and military officials of the court, they will still be terrified when they see the emperor every day.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. The emperor just asked me questions, and didn't ask me about my crimes." Emperor Qinglong didn't eat people, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Xiao Daiyu interrupted slightly: "My brother is very courageous, I have never seen my brother be afraid of anyone." When she was in the palace just now, Xiao Daiyu was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.Fortunately, the emperor didn't ask her, otherwise she wouldn't be able to say a word.

Lin Huaiyu said indifferently, "They're all human, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Mrs. Ye looked surprised: "I didn't expect your child to be so courageous..."

When Ye Wenfu heard this, his expression became thoughtful.

At the same time, Jia Yuanchun had already returned to his palace.

As soon as she returned to her palace, she personally picked out a few good things from the warehouse and asked Eunuch Xia to send them to Ye Mansion for Lin Huaiyu and the others.After that, she wrote another letter to Mrs. Wang, telling Mrs. Wang that Lin Huaiyu recognized Ye Wenfu and his wife as adoptive father and adoptive mother.

Jia Yuanchun did not know from Mrs. Wang that Lin Huaiyu and the others had entered Beijing and recognized Ye Wenfu and his wife as adoptive father and adoptive mother.She guessed that Mrs. Wang and the others didn't know about it.

Baoqin hurriedly came in to report: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhou and the others sent someone to bring supplements."

Jia Yuanchun frowned, his eyes turned cold instantly, and his tone was cold: "Throw it out!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Jia Yuanchun clenched his fist, his nails deeply embedded in his palm.Her face was as gloomy as water, as if she didn't feel the sharp pain coming from the palm of her hand.

When he first recognized his relative, the emperor didn't look at her directly from the beginning to the end, as if she didn't exist.

Before, when Emperor Qinglong went to the Kunning Palace, the Empress specifically told Emperor Qinglong that Jia Yuanchun was Lin Huaiyu's cousin, and asked her to witness it together.At that time, Jia Yuanchun looked at Emperor Qinglong expectantly, but Emperor Qinglong didn't even lift his eyelids to look at her.This kind of indifference caused Jia Yuanchun to fall into the ice cellar in an instant, from the tip of the heart to the tip of the toe, so cold that he stopped breathing.

Thinking of the past three months, the emperor's indifference to her, Zhou Guiren's sneer at her, and the emperor's indifference to her just now, Jia Yuanchun couldn't bear it anymore, lay down on the table and began to cry.

Baoqin walked in and saw her mother crying like a child, so she immediately hugged her mother.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Yuanchun is a very strong person. Before she became a concubine, she suffered a lot of grievances and suffered a lot, but she never cried because of these things. She has always gritted her teeth and endured.However, Emperor Qinglong's ignorance of her today made her feel unprecedentedly wronged.

"Baoqin, what did I do wrong, why did he treat me like this?" Jia Yuanchun has always been very cautious in front of Emperor Qinglong, never daring to break the rules and etiquette, let alone make a mistake.She has been thinking about what she did wrong for more than three months, but after thinking about it, she can't think of where she is wrong.

"Niang Niang..." Seeing Jia Yuanchun crying so sad and wronged, Baoqin couldn't help crying along with her, "Niang Niang, you are right..."

"Just now...the emperor didn't even look at me..." Jia Yuanchun cried very sadly, his delicate makeup was ruined by crying, and he looked very embarrassed, "Why..."

Baoqin has never seen her mother cry so aggrieved and helpless, "My mother will be fine, she will be fine..."

After Lin Huaiyu and the others returned to Ye Mansion, they went to the ancestral hall to meet the ancestors of the Ye family.

After worshiping the ancestors, Song Xiuwen and his wife came over.The two families sat together and had a lively lunch, which was considered a celebration.

It stands to reason that recognizing a righteous son and a righteous daughter is a big event, and it is necessary to hold a big banquet and invite relatives and friends to celebrate, but Ye Wenfu and his wife are not people who like to hold lively banquets.Besides, if they really hold a banquet, some people will come uninvited, and it will be very troublesome.Also, now is the critical time, and Ye Wenfu and his wife didn't want to do things at this time, so as not to cause any trouble, so they only invited Song Xiuwen and his wife to dinner.

After lunch, Lin Huaiyu went to Jiangjinjiu Winery to look for Jia Lian.

Jia Lian had been waiting for him at the winery, and did not return home for lunch at noon.

"Brother Huai, why did you come so early and didn't take a nap?"

"I'm afraid you've been waiting for a long time, cousin, so I came over after lunch."

"I didn't wait for you on purpose. After all, there is something going on in the winery." Jia Lian poured Lin Huaiyu a cup of tea himself. "This tea is from Pingshui Village. I asked someone to make it specially. How do you taste it?"

Lin Huaiyu didn't rush to drink, but smelled the tea first, and the faint fragrance came to her nostrils.

"It smells good." After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and took a sip. The bitter taste first spread on the tip of his tongue, and then a faint sweetness swirled in the cavity.He brightened his eyes and said, "It tastes good too." This is very different from the tea I drank at Grandma Liu's house before. "This tea is the water from Pingshui Village." Although I haven't drank the water from Pingshui Village for several years, I still have the memory of its taste, and I can drink it after just one sip.

Jia Lian was startled: "I didn't expect you to remember."

"The water in Pingshui Village is hard to forget once you drink it."

"Actually, the tea in Pingshui Village is also good, but the villagers in Pingshui Village are not very good at making tea, so they ruined the tea, so I found a famous tea master to make tea in Pingshui Village. I didn't expect to make it. The taste is no worse than those teas." In the past few years, Jia Lian got rid of her old habit of lust and changed her hobbies to tea and wine.He now has some experience in tea and wine.

"This tea is really good, you can consider selling it."

"I have the same idea."

The two chatted about the tea in Pingshui Village and discussed opening a tea shop.

After talking about the tea in Pingshui Village, Jia Lian finally remembered Lin Huaiyu's meeting with the emperor in the palace in the morning, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Huai, what are you doing in the palace in the morning to meet the emperor?"

"No big deal, just ask the emperor and queen to witness."

"Witness what?"

"Witness that my sister and I recognize Uncle Ye as foster father and foster mother."

Lin Huaiyu said this calmly, but to Jia Lian's ears it was "shocking".

"The emperor and the queen will help you to witness, this...isn't it an honor."

"Father asked the emperor to help witness."

"Uncle is really powerful." Jia Lian was startled, thinking that Brother Huai and the others recognized their father and mother, but uncle could invite the emperor and empress to witness. And more.

"We met Empress Concubine De in the palace, and Empress Dowager invited her to witness together."

Jia Lian exclaimed: "What, did you see your mother, and she also witnessed?" After speaking, he immediately thought of one thing, "The mansion will soon know that you and Daiyu have come to the capital."

"Cousin, when you go back later, tell grandma and the others the truth." They didn't tell Jia Mu and the others about their coming to the capital, but they had already arrived in the capital, so they had to tell Jia Mu and the others.Furthermore, as juniors, they should go to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia Muna and the others. "Say my sister and I are going to visit my grandmother tomorrow morning."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell the old lady when I get back. But Brother Huai, you also know the old lady's temper, and she will definitely be unhappy when she finds out."

Lin Huaiyu said nonchalantly, "If she's not happy, she won't be happy." They didn't come to the capital this time to visit Rongguo Mansion, so they don't need to care whether Jia Mu is happy or not.

"Old lady, they will definitely think too much." Jia Lian could guess how Jiamu and the others would react. "By the way, you saw the empress, how is the empress?"

Lin Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "She should not be favored."

"How to say?"

In the morning at Kunning Palace, Lin Huaiyu deliberately observed the interaction between Emperor Xia Qinglong and Jia Yuanchun.The empress told Emperor Qinglong to invite Jia Yuanchun to be a witness, but Emperor Qinglong didn't even look at Jia Yuanchun.From this point, it can be seen that Jia Yuanchun was not favored in the palace.

After hearing Lin Huaiyu's words, Jia Lian sighed heavily: "Oh..."

"Why is cousin sighing?"

Jia Lian shook his head lightly: "Since the empress participated in the draft, the mansion has poured a lot of money on her, but it only hit Nu Shi. The old lady and the wife are worried that she will suffer and be wronged in the palace. Sending her money, I finally hoped that she would become a concubine, but the mansion spent a lot of money to build a family-friendly villa..." At this point, he paused, drank two sips of tea and continued, "I thought she was a virtue. Concubine Empress, I will make life in the mansion easier, but it didn’t work out. I heard that my wife subsidized her a lot in private, and she went around looking for folk remedies for her to have children.”

"Remedies for having children?"

"The empress has not conceived a dragon heir in the past few years. She was anxious, and the wife and the others were also anxious, so they looked around for her to have a child. It is said that a lot of money was spent, but the empress still did not conceive a dragon child." Jia Lian suddenly felt that they It was not a good thing for the family to send Jia Yuanchun to the palace, because not only did they not get any benefits, but they paid a lot of money instead.

Lin Huaiyu laughed and said: "Even if grandma and the others find the best birth recipe in this world and give it to Concubine De, Concubine De will not conceive a dragon fetus."

Jia Lian heard the deep meaning of Lin Huaiyu's words, and his expression became terrified in an instant: "Brother Huai, what do you mean..." He didn't say those two words, and pointed to the sky, "Don't let your mother conceive Dragon fetus."

Lin Huaiyu nodded: "Yes."

When Jia Lian heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were full of fear.He knew in his heart why that person wouldn't allow Jia Yuanchun to conceive a dragon fetus.

"Brother Huai, is it coming soon?"

Lin Huaiyu knew what Jia Lian was asking for with this inexplicable sentence, and nodded affirmatively at him: "Soon." Emperor Qinglong asked his father to do it, which meant that the action to clean up the prince's faction had begun.

Jia Lian's heart sank suddenly, and his face was full of panic.
