[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

The most important thing is actually the textbook.

Lin Yu was a little uncertain about what goals he should set for those children, or more simply, what the future of these people in his mind would be.

What is certain is that he does not want to use some Four Books and Five Classics to teach people, nor does he want to raise a group of standard scholars who write poems and books, play the piano and ink.

Throwing the psychology book in his hand back into the space, Lin Yu still gave up his plan to add an ideological and moral course for future illusory betrayal.Yes, the fanatics cultivated in this way are indeed unlikely to betray, but does this really meet his original expectations?

If something is crooked from the root, it cannot be corrected.

Lin Yu, who gave up this idea, breathed a sigh of relief. It was strange that the emperors were all lonely, and there was really no way to discuss some things with others.Especially for Lin Yu, whose ideals and ideas are out of tune with this era, although it seems that he is well disguised, he has also passed the examination of a scholar, and even plans to continue the examination to obtain a universally recognized status.However, he wouldn't understand these things even if they were told to Jing Mo, who was trained and taught by him.

In the eyes of people like Jingmo and Baishu, being loyal to him is a matter of course.If there is the slightest dissatisfaction, it is disrespectful.The children bought or adopted by Lin Yu should single-mindedly compare their uncle to the sky. This is the truth of this era.

It's plain, but wrong.

What's more, it doesn't consider such lofty topics as personal freedom and equality.Lin Yu didn't plan to train a group of servants. A servant could be a waiter or an accountant, but a servant who couldn't be a shopkeeper couldn't be a boss.

Such a person has no direction of his own.It's useful for a while, but it won't help Lin Yu much in the long run.

Thinking too far, Lin Yu stroked his forehead, and decided on the textbook first.Just for enlightenment, the Three-Character Classic and Thousand-Character Classic are enough, but there are various primary school Chinese textbooks in the space.However, Lin Yu flipped through the fifth-grade Chinese volume [-] of the Sujiao edition that he found out for a while, and fell silent for a while with this idiom story, which took up a whole lesson, before throwing it back.

He doesn't have nine years for them to receive compulsory education. It may be possible in a few decades, but right now, what he needs is a school that favors crash courses.Even these children, if they have a certain ability, still do some work within their ability.

First of all, there is no free lunch in the world, who is different from the other, that is, Jing Mo and Su Mu both have jobs to serve Lin Yu on weekdays.Secondly, the nature of these children can be quickly seen.It is also a matter of deciding whether their next step is to continue studying, or to send them out to work when they are a little older.

Lin Yu sighed, thinking that his bottom line was getting lower and lower with the environment.In the early years, they said that child labor should not be used, but now they actively ask these children to work.

However, no one wants to work hard to cultivate a person who is lazy and ungrateful.

Even Lin Yu couldn't be exempt from this point. In other words, because of him, for his goal, he had to be stricter.

The Three-Character Classic, the Thousand-Character Classic, supplemented by some easy-to-understand poems, and then directly teach the history and Chinese. Anyway, they don't need to take the imperial examination, these will be the foundation.Mathematics is a must to learn, starting from simple and easy-to-understand Arabic numerals, children are the best time to shape, it should be easier than adults.Coupled with the daily necessary martial arts, it is almost the same.In the remaining time, they have to arrange some work within their ability.

Lin Yu picked up a pen and listed the items he needed to prepare on the rice paper. While concentrating on thinking, he added a column to the top when he thought of it.Not long after, a piece of snow-white rice paper was covered by black running script, which took up more than half of it.

Bai Shu came with a cup of hot tea, saw him stop writing and said with a smile: "Master's handwriting is getting better and better."

Lin Yu took the teacup, put it to his lips, and kept his eyes on the rice paper, casually said: "As long as you can read it clearly." If it's not for scientific research, who cares whether it looks good or not, it's easy to use charcoal pencils directly convenient.However, after so many years, he has been able to quickly write good characters with a brush without knowing it, so there is nothing to be persistent about.

"That's right." Speaking of pens, it will be a problem for those elementary school students to learn to write in the future. Lin Yu remembered that he had already got out of charcoal pens and used them for himself, but was very popular among the guards. He explained to Bai Shu: "Continue When the goods come from Gusu next month, bring a hundred or so charcoal pencils."

It was inconvenient to travel between the two places. Except for urgent news, general business letters came with the cargo ship once a month, and then Lin Yu's explanation and the store's manifest were pulled back.

Bai Shu replied that it was still early before the cargo ship arrived this month, so she made a note in her heart.

Quietly backing out, Bai Shu was about to return the tray in her hand to the small kitchen, just in time to see the courtyard door opened, and a little girl who answered the door raised her head and listened to what a person outside the door was saying .

"What's the matter?" Bai Shu stepped forward and asked, only to see a face-to-face man outside smiling at her and said, "This sister, is she with Cousin Yu?" It should be the big girl next to Lin Yu, and the girl next to Brother Yu, who is like a man with a heart, is also pretty.

Presumably this person is from his wife's family's Rongguo Mansion, Bai Shu thought to himself, but he called him close.He casually handed the mother-of-pearl red tray to the little girl who answered the door, and told her to go to the small kitchen.

The little girl blinked her eyes, responded sweetly, turned around and walked to Lin Yu's room.There was a smile in Bai Shu's eyes, he really didn't choose the wrong person, he was smart at a young age, but compared with Lingzhi at that time.

While facing Jia Lianfu, he said, "I have seen you, please come with me."

Jia Lian is now full of excitement to see Lin Yu, not that he has any bad intentions, but that he can't help but take a second look when he sees a good-looking one. In modern times, it is an honest creature called Yangou .

In the past, when he saw a pretty girl, he had to take a few glances, but now that Bai Shu was such a big man, he didn't have much thought in front of him, and when he saw Lin Yu walking out of the room to meet him, his peach blossom eyes lit up.

After walking a few steps, Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Cousin Yu, stop quickly, the sun is so poisonous, don't tell me you're sunburned." Then, he passed Baishu in two or three steps, thinking of Lin Yu standing there Go down the corridor.

Lin Yu paused, Jia Lian is such a considerate and good person?But since the other party was almost walking in front of him, it didn't matter if he took more or less steps, so he stopped and said with a smile, "Brother Jia..."

Before the words came out, Jia Lian waved his hand and interrupted: "I am a few years older than you, and you are uncle and cousin. If you don't mind, just call me Lian's second brother."

Having said that, Lin Yu sighed inwardly and said with a smile on his face, "Then I will have the audacity to call Second Brother Lian, please come in."

I don't know why Jia Lian rushed to look for Lin Yu early in the morning, but said that Lin Ruhai has been so busy since accepting this position that he has never had a good rest. Living well at home for a day can also enjoy some family happiness.

After teasing Daiyu in his arms, and listening to her reciting and praising the Book of Songs softly, she asked Qinglan to carry her down to play.

Only then did Lin Ruhai look at his wife with a worried look on her brows, and asked, "But what did brother Lian say yesterday that made you so worried?"

Jia Min shook her head and said, "What's wrong with him." Thinking of her mother's misunderstanding, although she didn't explain it clearly, it is also true that the couple have no heirs who can inherit the family.What if the baby in the stomach is not a boy?She was already in her senior year, and this pregnancy was a surprise, so she couldn't expect another one.Thinking about it, he told Jia's mother what Jia Lian conveyed yesterday, and there was nothing to hide.

"I'll make my mother-in-law worry about it." Lin Ruhai didn't think Jia's mother's thinking was offensive at all, it was all for the sake of the family.His loving and expectant eyes fell on Jia Min's slightly pregnant belly, and he said softly, "As long as this kid comes out and teaches him well in the future, he will have nothing to worry about."

Jia Minsu caressed her stomach involuntarily, lowered her eyes and said worryingly: "What if..."

How could Lin Ruhai not know what his wife was thinking? In the dead of night, he was also worried, and said with a casual smile: "The matter of an heir is a coincidence, and it cannot be forced. Now having this child is already an unexpected joy. It would be good for Daiyu to have a younger sister." After thinking for a while, he felt that the couple were both worried about gain and loss, so they comforted him, "Furthermore, Dr. Li is a well-known expert in gynecology in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has never made any mistakes. If he wants to know that you doubt his medical skills, he will be angry."

When Jia Min was in the boudoir, he was the most refreshing person. After hearing these words, he thought that he was really dazed these few days.Throwing aside this burden, she and Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "I don't know where Brother Yu is so capable that he invited Dr. Li. I only know that he is still in the capital. Unexpectedly, it was in Gusu."

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and said, "If you ask me, I don't know either. It's just that his roots are in Gusu, and he may be well-informed." He hadn't naively thought that Lin Yu's Zhuangzi was just a Zhuangzi. .After thinking about it, he brought out the idea he had pondered for a long time and asked Jia Min, "Tell me, how about I recommend him to be under the Xin Hanlin sect of Jinling Xishan Academy?"

Jia Min pondered for a while, and Fang said with a complex expression: "My selfishness, I don't really want to make Brother Yu go away." She tightened her hands on the skirt, "Although the master seems to be a little more relaxed now, but after resigning from office There are still two years left, and the family will not be able to succeed if there is no one who can stand up to the door.” No one knows what a family needs better than a mistress. Before she was pregnant, she was in charge of the affairs of the family. The mess in the house.Now, her spirit is gradually becoming short, and Daiyu is so young, who can support her?

Lin Ruhai took Jia Min's hand and comforted him: "I'm just thinking about it. Even if I recommend him, I'm afraid it will be in the next year." What's more, even if I don't recommend it, after next year's autumn is over, Xin Ruhai When Hanlin saw such a beautiful young man, how could he know that he would not be tempted?Mao Xuezheng was also very moved, but his family knew his own affairs, and he was admitted to the two list of Jinshi in the past. He passed the exam steadily, but it has been so many years. These four books and five classics have not been read very much, so how dare he accept them casually? only.

Furthermore, among the students of Xishan Academy who returned to the college examination this time, there were members of the Lin clan, and they even came to pay a visit.According to him, Xin Zongping, Xin Hanlin's grandson, really valued Brother Yu's knowledge, and I'm afraid his name has already spread to Xin Hanlin's ears.

Lin Ruhai expected it well. Xin Hanlin already knew that there was Lin Yu, but he still didn't know who Lin Yu was or who he was.

After all, Xin Zongping did a great job in Weiyang under the name of Xishan Academy, that is, Xin Hanlin. I am willing to continue to take the scientific examination!I just don't know why he made up his mind after a trip to Yangzhou. In the past, no matter how much he was beaten by his father, it didn't work. Now that he has opened up his mind this year, he doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Therefore, after looking at him coldly for a few months, and seeing that he really stopped looking for flowers and willows, and went about his business, and really picked up his books and studied hard, Xin Hanlin became worried instead, and took a moment to express his unwillingness to become a teacher. Qi's grandson was mentioned in front of him.

Xin Hanlin wore a wide-sleeved cloak, a Taoist robe inside, and a wooden hairpin on his head. He looked like a fairy, but the way he dragged his grandson and sighed for a long time ruined most of his image.

Xin Zongping was pulled by one hand, holding the scroll in the other, staring at the book with both eyes, and said indifferently: "Grandpa, if you have anything to ask, just ask directly, grandson really can't guess what you are thinking." I don't really want to guess.

Xin Hanlin looked at his pensive look, his face became more bitter, he couldn't help but sit over, leaning on his little grandson, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you take a fancy to the girl from that family? ?” Can’t, why don’t you take the primary school students to the college for the test? That house is so sloppy that your own girl saw it?

Xin Zong paused, put down the scroll helplessly, and persuaded him sincerely: "Grandfather, when you are free, go and take in two disciples to have fun, and stop reading those scriptures."

Xin Hanlin was shocked and said: "Could it be the sister from which building?"

Xin Zongping choked, took out his hand, let out a long breath, and said, "Don't you know if your grandson has visited a brothel in Yangzhou? Just ask this way, your grandson has made progress in his studies, don't you think so?" Is it not good?"

Xin Hanlin flicked his sleeves and sat down, and said decisively: "Not good."

Well, I can't finish reading this book today, Xin Zong said calmly.He simply got up, sat across from his grandfather, reached out to make tea, and when the fragrance of the tea rose, Fang asked, "What are you worried about?"

Xin Hanlin looked at his talented little grandson opposite, and sighed, "I'm afraid you will end up on a road of no return." It is often said that knowing a son is like a father.As a grandfather, how could he not know why his little grandson was unwilling to take the imperial examination even though he was talented and knowledgeable?

Therefore, even if his pedantic elder son couldn't get used to it these years, he still protected this little grandson by his side.If it's absurd, let it be absurd, celebrities are romantic!Besides, anyway, he has made plans for his little grandson. Before he closes his eyes, he can always raise his knowledge and reputation. At that time, this Xishan Academy will be his. Nothing bad.

Nowadays, people who are accustomed to being lazy suddenly become diligent, not only in terms of knowledge, but also in interpersonal communication. How can Xin Hanlin not be worried?What does my grandson think, can he not count?Even Zong Ping actually accepted his own influence.

Don't you see, Xin Hanlin is only in his sixties and has a strong body. It's not like there are no old elders of his age in the court, but he retired so early.

The current structure of the court is that the cabinet is divided between Man and Han, and the six ministers are all reinstated, that is, every Manchu chief must have a Han deputy, and vice versa.As an emperor, the technique of balancing is called a smooth one. If you lift one over the other, either today the west wind overwhelms the east wind, or tomorrow the east wind will be stronger than the west wind.However, generally speaking, the Han people still suffer.Who told the Yehenala family to sit on the throne? In order to maintain the rule, the Han people have no place to reason even if they suffer.

Xin Hanlin himself couldn't say that he was very satisfied with Ben Chao's words against his will, and he didn't show his slavishness on his knees.

Zong Ping has been by his side since he was young, teaching by precepts and deeds, no matter how careful Xin Hanlin is, there will always be something revealed on weekdays.When he found out, his little grandson already looked like that.

Because I can't face the status quo, I am suffering, so I am drunk and dreaming of death.Xin Hanlin knew in his heart, seeing that he had never confide in his heart, so he let him go, at least he was under his nose, and nothing could go wrong.

In the end, I thought it would be good to let him relax, let him go to Yangzhou, and he seemed to be a different person when he came back. How can Xin Hanlin not worry, if he accidentally makes a mistake, he will be in deep trouble. No one can save the literary prison.

The four words in the first sentence are "talents of the Ming Dynasty", and they will be beheaded immediately after reporting to the emperor. Isn't it painful enough?At that time, Xin Hanlin was really just a little bachelor student, and when he wrote the word beheading, he pressed the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, and then reluctantly wrote those two words.

When I finished writing, my heart was cold, and my back was covered in cold sweat.After returning home, when I picked up the pen again, my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't stop it.

After that, Xin Hanlin saw Ben Chao's face clearly.If it wasn't for the sake of the family, I'm afraid he would have resigned and retired at that time.

He has been trembling and trembling for most of his life, and now he has earned the leisure time for his children and grandchildren. Naturally, he doesn't want Zong Ping, his favorite little grandson, to plunge headlong into that big pit where there is no hope.

In the silence, Xin Zongping put down the teacup that was gradually cooling down in his hand, and said, "Grandpa, do you think there are really talents bestowed by heaven in this world?"

"There are a lot of strange people and strange things in ancient times." Xin Hanlin is old and has experienced many things. Knowing who or what happened to Zong Ping, he asked, "You are also a very talented person, tell me about it." , who did you meet that made you admire so much?"

"Which grandson will not tell you for the time being." Zong Ping didn't know that his grandfather was worried about him, but he was also afraid of causing trouble for Lin Yu, so he just said, "Don't worry, grandpa, that person just passed a bowl of hangover soup and That's all for me."

Xin Hanlin hated iron but said: "It's still hangover soup, why don't you know if it's a bowl or not!"

Seeing his grandfather blowing his beard and staring, Xin Zongping laughed out loud, then withdrew his name, and whispered the conversation between himself and Lin Yu, Fang said: "I don't know what you think, grandpa, anyway, it's better than being drunk and dreaming." , I want that bowl of hangover soup even though it is bitter and unpalatable, but it is a good medicine for waking up."

Xin Hanlin was stunned for a while, his heart was full of pride and bitterness, and at the same time, he was excited by the scene Xin Zongping described. He rubbed his chest and calmed down, and then murmured: "It's really bitter." It's unpalatable!" After saying that, he shook his head and sighed, "That's all, I just have a word to tell you, no matter what your plans are, don't leave anything on the pen, and you must agree to me." Anyway, they will not What you are going to do, just look at the results of studying and progressing on the surface, it is still a good thing.

Xin Zongping nodded with a smile, and said, "If there is a chance next year, my grandson will bring him to see you."

Xin Hanlin waved his hands impatiently, and said, "Okay, okay, just don't count me in the old man." Xin Zongping understood, and stepped back without mentioning it.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

At the other end, the two grandfathers of the Xin family were worrying about Lin Yu's words, but Lin Yu himself, because of Jia Lian's suggestion, had to arrange a painting boat to accompany him on a tour of the Slender West Lake.

But Lin Yu is not a person without interest in life, but he is too busy on weekdays, and his time has never been tight. It has been so long since Yangzhou that he has never visited the lake once.It's nothing, just like he grew up in Gusu but never went to Hanshan Temple, it's just that he never paid attention to it.

However, since he came out quickly and easily, he wouldn't show any displeasure.

Although the weather is hot at this time, it has not yet entered Fushu, which is a good time to swim in the lake.The window drawers on the painting boat are all set up, and thin window screens are hung, and the breeze is blowing, which really not only enjoys the scenery, but also avoids the heat.If you invite a troupe of small operas to sing fresh and unconventional little songs, it will be a bliss in the world.

Jia Lian had made up his mind on the way before he came. He already knew about the affairs of the people, and he wanted to invite some sisters. However, he was accompanied by Brother Yu and knew that he was a decent person, so he didn't dare to call those people. his eyes.

There are no princes and grandsons in this city of Yangzhou—there is one beside Lin Yu, but it is also a hairy phoenix—but the painting boats on the lake are more magnificent than each other. Jia Lian was envious and asked Brother Yu.

Lin Yu laughed and said, "There are so many merchants in Yangzhou City that it's hard to count them all. Just say that the big and small salt merchants' homes are all wealthy." He looked out of the window and said, "It's still afternoon, people Not many. At night, you will know what it means to be brightly lit."

Sure enough, in the evening, dots of light were lit up on the wide lake, and if other boats got a little closer, you could still hear the lingering music on it.

Lin Yu originally wanted to leave right now, and spending an afternoon was already a rare luxury for him who was busy compiling textbooks.However, at this moment, the lady who was punting the boat outside came in, leaned over and said something to Jing Mo.

Jia Lian didn't pay attention to the small episode here, he was dazzled by a three-story building boat moving slowly outside.It was the first time he had seen such a scene after living in the capital all year round.It's not that he has never swum in the lake, but the dimly lit and melodious scene of Slender West Lake can only be compared with the Qinhuai River in Jinling, he thought.

I am ashamed to say that although Jia's old house is in Jinling, he has never been there since he grew up. □□ wondered if he stopped by for two or three days when he was passing through Jinling on his return journey, and saw Lin Yu listening to what Jing Mo had to say.

Lin Yu nodded, and said, "Let's lean over." Seeing Jia Lian looking at him questioningly, Lin Yu explained, "I recognized the boat, so I'll invite you over there, so I have to walk around." He motioned Looking at the huge boat outside, he said, "Second Brother Lian is with me, or is it?"

Jia Lian saw the direction his gaze was pointing at, but it wasn't the same one he was looking at just now, and said, "it's one." Then he asked how he was recognized, and what was the origin of the building boat.

Lin Yu laughed and said, "This boat was originally made by a rich salt merchant and given to my cousin. It's very recognizable, but no one in the family is impatient to use it. Anyone who would think of using it for the first time will recognize it. As for the boat..." He said calmly, "It's just a flower boat, but I happen to have acquaintances, so I have to deal with it."

The punting ladies are all good players who have been selected out of thousands of people. The Lin family's painting boat can not feel the slightest jolt when passing by.

A sampan enough for five people to run side by side has been set up between the two boats, but because of the height of the boat, it is necessary to walk from the bottom to the top.The lake below is still dark, and it is still easy to scare those spoiled young masters.Lin Yu whispered to Jing Mo to take good care of Jia Lian, and walked up steadily by herself.

On the other side of the sampan, Mao Wen, the grandson of Mao Xuezheng's direct relative, was already waiting.Seeing Lin Yu walking slowly, he said to the young man beside him: "I said earlier that this idea is useless, and it won't scare him."

Lin Yu shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and said, "Weird Dao actually brought out such a thing today to tell people to go away. It turned out that you two played tricks." Ordinary flower boats have specially made gangway with railings. After receiving this, Jia Lian's face was not very good when he didn't see that Jing Mo was helping him.

"I persuaded you." Mao Wen hurriedly raised his hand to show his innocence, pointed to Yang Yuting beside him and said, "It's all his idea."

Yang Yuting smiled shyly and lowered his head. With his handsome face, what he didn't know was that he was a frail scholar, but he was the son of a dignified magistrate's family, and he was full of bad things.

Lin Yu sighed, and didn't bother to tell them that they might not have malicious intentions.I just want to see his flustered appearance, that is, the heart of a child, but Jia Lian behind him is a burden to him.He expressed concern, and after seeing that he was just a little frightened, he introduced them to each other.

After all, it is a young man, and it will be fine in a while.Several people saw it together and went inside.

"There are customers today, why did you take this out?" It takes a lot of manpower to use such a flower boat, and it is fine on weekdays. Who would use this for fun, not those salt merchants, who burn too much money? .

Mao Wen sighed and said: "Brother Yu, do you really not know or not? The one above said that living in Da'an Palace for a long time is boring, so he wants to come down to the south of the Yangtze River. No, there is a young master Zhen from Jinling in there." , and brought two Mr. Ye, everyone knows it in their hearts, but since they only said that they are the Ye brothers, they left a layer of window paper unpunctured." He stopped, pulled Lin Yu and said in a low voice "I didn't intend to call you. Who would have thought that it would be such an unfortunate coincidence that you, who haven't been out for thousands of years, actually went out to play, and even the sharp-eyed ones recognized your painting boat." Tell him itchy teeth, the thing that doesn't know what's good or bad.

There were many people talking, so he didn't say much, and Lin Yu just nodded, saying that he knew.

The person who has lived in Da'an Palace for a long time is the current Supreme Emperor.During his reign, he went to the south of the Yangtze River three times, and Lin Yu didn't find it strange that he came again now.Lin Ruhai also told him about this matter, but it was only at the level of hearing, and the official order has not yet come down.Now it seems that there should be eight points.

However, the sudden appearance of the two princes here is really strange, and there is a member of the Zhen family beside them. It must be known that the Zhen family has always been the direct descendant of the Supreme Emperor, and they are still inseparable from the former crown prince, and they don't have much to do with the current emperor.What is the reason for walking together so openly now?Lin Yu thought as he walked, but couldn't think of why for a while.

Sure enough, if the level is not enough, the collected information is not enough to draw a conclusion. At this stage, it is better to pass the scientific examination as soon as possible.

A group of four people walked up the cabin. The top floors of this kind of flower boat are all rooms for guests to stay overnight, so the real function is self-evident.The real places to entertain guests are on the first and second floors, and the higher the floor, the more important the status of the guests is.

Lin Yu and the others climbed up the stairs next to it, and the sharp-eyed one saw it and said in surprise, "It's him, isn't he notorious for not coming to such occasions?"

"Which one are you talking about... Oh, he, no matter how unsociable he is, he still has to go for a walk today, right?" A scholar dressed like a scholar took a sip of tea, hid his face behind the cup and said, "However, this face is really..."

His companion quickly kicked him and said: "Haven't drunk yet, why are you talking nonsense, let people hear that you have good fruit to eat."

The scholar said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of, he just looks good on face, and he is just Lin Yanzheng's nephew, and he is not a serious relative."

"Who doesn't know that he is a nephew? It's just that Lin Yanzheng has been taking him with him, and he loves him so much." His companion said, thinking, even if it wasn't like this, he was also the first case. How could it be them? Can a group of merchant children who fight all day long to offend?I really started to tremble after reading for two days, thinking that I must stay away from this and that in the future.

This kind of dialogue has never been less since Lin Yu appeared. Seeing him pass by, various voices of discussion inevitably sounded in the lobby.Lin Yu was used to it for a long time. He was surrounded by a son and grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, a son of the local Yangzhou magistrate, and a grandson of Xuezheng.

As soon as I went upstairs, before I got to the door, I could already hear the sound of laughter behind the door.Seeing them, the two unshaven boys guarding the door hurriedly pushed the door open.

There is a long table in front of each person inside, and there is no seat. The floor is covered with soft cushions woven with gold and embroidered satin, and everyone sits cross-legged on it.There is also Meiji who is serving, leaning softly on the side of the desk, pouring wine and laughing with the young master.

At a glance, Lin Yu found that most of them were Yangzhou local sons who had met a few times, so the first three were Mr. Ye and Mr. Zhen in Mao Wenkou.

Yehenala, whose alias was Ye San, saw the four people approaching slowly, and involuntarily let go of the hand holding Meiji, and sat up straight.

Mao Wen said with a smile: "This is Mr. Ye San from the capital, this Mr. Ye Si." He motioned to the cold-faced young man next to Mr. Ye, and then pointed to Mr. Jinxiu and said, "You have never seen this man before." , is the second son of the Jinling Zhen family."

Then Ye San smiled and said, "You don't have to tell me, I know him." As he said that, he looked Lin Yu up and down, and said to Ye Si, "It really is Lin Lang from Jiangnan, as bright as a bright moon, but the people in this room Everyone has been compared."

Then he asked Lin Yu if he had words, and when Lin Yu said with a smile that he had no words, he said, "That's right, you're still young, and I'm older, so let me call you brother Yu?" by myself.

Mao Wen is most afraid of this, if she simply appreciates it, but who knows what these members of the royal family are thinking!The busy road has been prepared, and it is inconvenient to move, which is really disturbing.

Third Young Master Ye said regretfully.Mao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Lin Yu to sit beside her.

On the other side, Jia Lian unexpectedly met two princes, as well as Jia's old relative, the son of the Zhen family. After greeting him, he sat down next to the second son of Zhen.Although they don't know each other, they have been known to each other for a long time, and there is something to talk about after greeting each other.

Lin Yu glanced at the ground, took off his boots under Meiji's service, and sat upright on the table, and another lady with a good figure and appearance came forward to serve her.It's just that she saw that the little boy was smiling, but he was strict and self-controlled in every move, so she didn't dare to lean on him like others, and she knelt and sat upright, taking care of the wine and vegetables.

Seeing Mao Wen on one side, he couldn't help being stiff, and had to quietly stuff his comfortably coiled legs under his buttocks.The accompanying diva saw her, and quietly raised her sleeves to cover the corners of her raised lips.

Lin Yu took the wine glass and only held it in his hand to look at the pattern on the glass. He turned his head and asked Mao Wen quietly: "What Jiangnan Linlang, why don't I know."

"Brother, you are really stupid in reading." Seeing that Lin Yu squinted his eyes in a threatening manner, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Isn't it spread by some good people? It was only said in Yangzhou at the beginning , it looks like the outside world knows about it now.”

Seeing Lin Yu's pale face and unhappy look, Mao Wen smiled and said, "You are the head of the court examination case again. Believe it or not, when you win Qiuwei, your reputation will spread to the capital." After a pause, he peeked at Seeing the first two brothers, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid you don't have to wait for Qiu Wei."

Lin Yu glanced at him and said, "What good things can't happen?"

He was so busy and dizzy a while ago that he didn't notice what the outside world said at all, and Chen Zi didn't report it. It seems that it should only be spread among the upper class and the circle of scholars, and it hasn't spread to everyone yet. .

"It's not a bad thing." Mao Wen laughed softly, "You're not Wei Jie, and you won't die."

Seeing him, Young Master Ye San said with a smile: "You two are talking nonsense, just leave us alone."

After Mao Wen said this, the third son of Ye joked: "Brother Yu, you are ashamed now, what will you do when the winner of the gold list is paraded across the street in the future? I am afraid that even a fragrant handkerchief will drown you go."

The fourth young master shook his head helplessly at the third brother who was making fun of him: "Third brother!"

The flower boat gradually adjusted its angle, facing the temporary stage set up by the lake.Then some young servants handed over the playbooks layer by layer, and some honored guests were invited to order, and then the little opera singers were asked to act as generals.

The playbook was in Yang Yuting's hands. His father was the magistrate of Yangzhou, and he was originally the host. It's just that Mao Wen was always on good terms with him, and he was better at these things, so he didn't show it very much.

Yang Yuting gave it to the third young master, and the third young master turned his head and handed it to the fourth young master: "Fourth brother?"

The fourth son did not shirk, took it and ordered out the Hall of Eternal Life and the Jade Hairpin, and asked Meiji beside him to present it to the third son again.The third young master refused to answer, and said, "Brother Yu, please."

That Meiji hurriedly got down and handed it to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was about to take it when he heard a voice say, "So, Lin Yanzheng's husband
