Rice Fields in the Red Chamber

Sure enough, after a while, Lin Mo said, "What's the matter?"

Fu Niu took a step forward, walked to Lin Mo's side, and said softly: "The shopkeeper knows it well. He not only took out all the food that he had withdrawn from the master, distributed it to the little beggars, but also sent some other guests. I ordered the dishes without using many chopsticks, and paid out of my own pocket, added a drawer of steamed buns and sent them along."

Lin Mo nodded, and he said to Tu Qian: "This shopkeeper is not bad. If the things he did today dissatisfy the owner of 'Fuyunlou', if you want to replace him, let him come to our shop." 'Gourmet restaurant on the tip of the tongue'."

Naturally, Tu Qian didn't answer, and he also felt that the shopkeeper was very pleasing to the eye.

At this time, the re-cooked meals were delivered, and he hurriedly called Lin Mo over.

Lin Mo is also really hungry. The taste of the chef of "Fuyunlou" is really not a bragging. It is said that the chef's ancestor was once the imperial chef of the previous dynasty. After that, the descendants of the royal chef re-entered the world, and were invited by the owner of "Fuyun Building" with a lot of money to become the head chef of "Fuyun Building".

Sure enough, he is the heir of the imperial chef. The dishes on this table are really good, and Lin Mo is very satisfied.

At this time, under the leadership of Jia Huan and others, the team of envoys had gone far away, leaving only rich and leisurely men like them here to discuss their impressions leisurely here.

Next year is the year of Dabi.In the capital city, there are many scholars who came to Beijing early to participate in the competition, or those who failed the exam before, as well as students from the Imperial College and several academies.

In the past few years, the questions in the imperial examinations have been greatly different from those in the past. They are no longer limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, and the popular "eight-part essays" in the previous dynasty have gradually lost their market.

What is more published is to let the students combine the actual situation of the Jin Dynasty to make a targeted article, or a few policy papers, or to criticize the current disadvantages, or to make suggestions.

With so many topics like this, many students have stepped out of the ivory tower and no longer just study hard behind closed doors. "Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles" has once again become the style of conduct advocated by the students.

Today when the mission came to Beijing, many students, like Lin Mo and the others, invited some friends to book a private room in a restaurant along the street along the road the mission must pass through, to witness this rare event together, "Fu Yunlou" is naturally their first choice.

Coincidentally, just to the left of Lin Mo's private room, there were several students talking loudly there.

The private room in "Fuyun Building" has a good partition effect. Compared with the soundproof room that Lin Mo made in the mansion, it is not as good. less than.

But no matter what kind of people Lin Mo and Tu Qian were, their five senses were extremely keen, and they only needed to hear the conversation next door a little louder.

"It's the first time I've seen the appearance of barbarians from overseas. To be honest, these people look quite similar to the Dashi and Anxi people from the Western Regions. When I was at home, I often heard about those who went to do business in the Western Regions. The merchants talked about what they had seen and heard in the Western Regions, and they said that to the west of the Great Jin Dynasty, there is an extremely vast land. There are not only countries such as Dashi, Anxi, and Byzantium, but also many large and small countries and city-states. The people there include not only people with blond hair and white skin, but also Kunlun slaves whose whole body is as black as ink."

Another person sighed: "Sure enough, as Hai Guogong said in the early years, there is a vast land beyond the Great Jin. I didn't believe it before. Today, after listening to your words, I realized that there is indeed a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. "

"These barbarians are fine. Although they look slightly different from us Chinese people, they are still within the acceptable range. I can't stand those Japanese people. The crown prince was sitting in the carriage, and I It’s because I didn’t see what it looks like, the image of those male and female attendants who followed is really too scary.”

Hearing this, Tu Qian stopped holding out his hand to pick up vegetables, and a struggle flashed across his face.

Lin Mo was amused by his appearance.

Tu Qian put down his chopsticks helplessly, glared at Lin Mo, and said angrily, "Naughty, are you happy to see me like this? Little heartless."

Lin Mo didn't admit it, "It's not the first time I've seen those people, do you still mind this? Don't forget, the crown prince of the Japanese country will stay in the capital for many years in the future, even if we don't meet every day in the future, in some On necessary occasions, you can’t escape, if you don’t get used to it now, I’m afraid you will suffer in the future.”

I have to admit that Lin Mo was right. Poor Mr. Prince Zhaorui, when he thought of the scene described in Lin Mo's words, he felt so hopeless that he put his head on the table and felt powerless.

Seeing how pitiful he was, Lin Mo had no choice but to comfort him again, "You should think so, then Crown Prince Anren came to the capital this time in the name of studying, and His Majesty agreed to let him study in the Imperial College."

Tu Qian's eyes lit up instantly.

But seeing Lin Mo's beautiful eyebrows and eyes, which were already smiling, his red lips parted slightly: "Perhaps, it is the students of this year's Imperial College who should be depressed."

Tu Qian: ...that makes sense, but he was speechless.

These four missions from the capital made the capital much more lively and provided the people of Dajin with a lot of chatter after dinner.

Fortunately, except for the first few days, when these crooked nuts went to the street, the people of Dajin would take a curious look or two, and soon they took these foreign visitors calmly.

Lin Mo had spent five years wandering the seas. Although he claimed he didn't know much about these barbarians, the people in the court didn't think so.

Lin Mo had spent five years wandering the seas. Although he claimed he didn't know much about these barbarians, the people in the court didn't think so.

Those people had a consensus in their hearts. Compared with officials like them, who saw the Yi people for the first time, or had little dealings with them, Hai Guogong was the one who knew the Yi people best in Jin Dynasty. .

Because the three envoys from Europa came in a hurry this time, they did not inform Da Jin in advance. When they arrived in the capital, they realized that there were not enough people to receive the three envoys!

The people headed by today find it incredible.

Originally, someone in the court proposed that Lin Mo be in charge of dealing with the barbarian missions, but Tu Qian said: "Ah Mo has many capable people and strangers, and they have followed Ah Mo in the early years. They should learn from it. I have learned everything I need to know and what I need to know. Among those people, there are many people who have personally been to European countries and dealt with people from these countries. In this regard, Ah Mo is not as good as many people. They are more suitable for this important task than Ah Mo. For example, Deng Xia.

Besides, Ah Mo is the Duke of my Jin Dynasty and the concubine of this king, so I asked a super-grade Duke to receive those barbarians, tsk, do you look down on the barbarians too much, or look down on me too much? Princess? "

Crowd: ...

At the end of the discussion, Lin Mo gave these people a clear path.

"Fan Liang and Chen Qing from the Ministry of Industry, and Cao Ming from the Ministry of Rites, all three of them have personally been to those three countries. fully qualified for this important task."

After Lin Mo returned to land, his subordinates who had been following him also entered various industries according to their own wishes.

Some picked up their books, studied hard, and made their way through the imperial examinations;

These people are the foundation for Lin Mo to settle down in Dajin.

The people recommended by Lin Mo were approved by Jinjin and Tuqian. Soon, those three people were borrowed to Honglu Temple to contribute to Dajin's diplomatic career.

Today is Xiumu. After a heavy snowfall last night, it was a rare sunny day. Lin Mo suddenly became excited and asked his servants to prepare grills, ingredients and seasonings. He took Tuqian and hid in the eight-faced pavilion on the lotus pond in the garden for barbecue. , the small life is not to mention how comfortable it is.

Lin Mo sighed: "The life is really comfortable, even if it is the life of a fairy, I will not change it."

The head of the palace, Shi, personally held a post and found Lin Mo: "Second Lord, a member of the Lin clan in Gusu sent a post, please read it first."

Those old people who had followed Tuqian and Lin Mo for many years knew what was going on with Lin Mo and the Gusu Lin family, so they naturally disapproved of the people from the Gusu Lin family.If it wasn't for the fear of ignoring the matter of the Duke, Chang Shi really didn't intend to send this post to Lin Mo.

Seeing Chang Shi come in, Lin Mo put down the meat skewer that was being grilled in his hand, handed it to Tu Qian to toss, took the post in Chang Shi's hand, and opened it to read.

When he saw the name under the post, his eyebrows were so raised that they almost flew out of the starting line, and the shocked look on his face was not to mention too obvious.

Tu Qian sensed that he was wrong at that moment, and hurriedly asked: "What? Whose post is it?"

Lin Mo came back to his senses, handed over the post in his hand that surprised him a lot, and said, "Look for yourself."

Tu Qian took it suspiciously, and when he saw the signature, it was similar to Lin Mo's reaction just now.

"Lin Ganlin from now on?" Isn't this Ah Mo's biological father?

I saw the post said: "Please gather in the private room on the second floor of the 'Taibai Building' at Sishi tomorrow."

"What does he mean?" Tu Qian was confused.

His Ah Mo had already been adopted. At that time, Lin had signed a document to sever the relationship between father and son. Since the adoption, the relationship between the two had already been severed.

What's more, when the Marquis of Wuchang found Lin Mo later, he learned of what happened to his sister after he disappeared, and hit Lin Gan's house.

After so many years, Lin Congjin's family is safe and sound, and there is nothing wrong with it. He and Lin Mo almost forgot about this family, so why did they suddenly jump out again? Looking for a sense of presence in front of you?

Lin Mo didn't take this matter to heart, "What do you care what they mean, this is the capital, at the foot of the emperor, are you afraid that he will do something bad secretly?"

Lin Mo has always believed in one truth, all conspiracies and schemes are paper tigers in the face of absolute strength!

Tu Qian was persuaded by him, not to mention being in the capital, even on the land of the Lin family in Gusu, he and Lin Mo were not afraid of anything.

So as soon as the next day passed, Lin Mo left the "Taibai Building" on time, found the private room that Lin's father had booked, met Lin's father who had been away for a long time, and...
