[Red House] Raiders of life

Three days later, Lin Ning returned to Beijing.It wasn't because Jia Baoyu returned to normal, Yang Sheng took the medicine, and the matter was over, but because Jiangnan sent a letter.Lin Ruhai is coming to Beijing soon.

Lin Ning's mood is complicated.On the one hand, he was very happy that Lin Ruhai had returned safely; on the other hand, he was a little apprehensive.He already knew about his life experience, but he never mentioned it, nor did Lin Ruhai mention it in his letter.But obviously, Lin Ruhai understood.Tu Yuanhai will definitely tell him.

Although the capital city in August is still as hot as an autumn tiger, the wind on the pier has already brought a bit of chill.Lin Ning waved the girl to wait in the carriage with Daiyu, and he led Lin Yanxi to stand outside looking forward to it.

As soon as Lin Ruhai came to the case, Lin Yanxi rushed over, raised her face and called, "Father!"

Lin Ruhai scolded a few words with a smile, "No rules", "How old are you?" Lin Yanxi smiled and listened, knowing that Lin Ruhai was not really angry, she was not afraid at all, and was tired of being around Lin Ruhai.This rogue appearance made Lin Ruhai shake his head and couldn't help laughing, but he didn't say anything.

Lin Yanxi is the youngest son, strictly speaking, he is his only son, or an old son, how can he not feel pain.

Lin Ning just looked at it like this, feeling a little jealous.In the past, even though he was an adult, he was also coquettish and coquettish with Lin Ruhai.Lin Ruhai also scolded him for being inappropriate, although his words were harsh, his tone was very doting.

Seeing Lin Ruhai for the first time, Lin Ning reflexively had the urge to run over, but in his heart, he suddenly thought of his own life experience, occupying the position of his eldest son for no reason, making Lin Yanxi the second son, and getting the attention his eldest son deserved Feeling so guilty for no reason, he hesitated for a while, and let Lin Yanxi take the lead.Now seeing the intimacy of their father and son, but feel sour and uncomfortable.

Lin Ning secretly scolded himself for being hypocritical, took two steps forward, and called "Father".Unexpectedly, when he opened his mouth, his voice trembled unexpectedly.

Lin Ruhai was stunned for a while, then patted Lin Ning's shoulder with a smile, and was urged by Lin Yanxi to get into the carriage.Lin Ning jumped on the horse, and the group went back to the house. They walked all the way, listening to the laughter of Daiyu Lin Yanxi and Lin Ruhai in the carriage, feeling both relieved and uncomfortable, very contradictory.I couldn't help but look at the shoulder that Lin Ruhai patted just now, and felt very regretful in my heart. Sure enough, when everything was on the bright side, it was different from before.

After walking for about half an hour, when they arrived at the Lin Mansion, Lin Ruhai coaxed Daiyu and Lin Yanxi back to their room, and signaled Lin Ning to go to the study.

"I heard that you have done a lot these days? You still have time to trade my name card for someone else's future!"

"Ah?" As soon as Lin Ning entered the door, he was scolded face to face, and he was dizzy for a moment and didn't understand what Lin Ruhai meant.

"You have the time to worry about Lian Er's future, why don't you worry about yourself?"

Only then did Lin Ning understand what Lin Ruhai meant by these words.A few days ago, when he was still in the Zhuangzi, Jia Lian and Wen Shi came over and said that they had thought it through and wanted to ask Lin Ning to donate an official position.It's not that I'm looking for a job in Beijing, but I want to let it out.Jia Lian probably really thought about it with Wen for a long time, talking about his lack of ability and not knowing much about people's livelihood, he was afraid that if he came to be a county magistrate, he would harm others and himself.I just want to be a county magistrate to assist the county magistrate.He also asked Lin Ning for a teacher.

This position is not high, and it can even be said that it is a bit low for the heir of the Duke's family.Lin Ning was stunned for a while.Also because the requirements are not high, things are much easier to handle.Lin Ning didn't need to use any other means. He only used Lin Ruhai's famous post in the name of a junior to the door of Mr. Min, the servant of the official department who was in the same class as Lin Ruhai. Wine, look at the meaning, everyone is smart, Master Min naturally understands.Lin Ning offered another generous gift. Nowadays, many sons and daughters of powerful families donate officials. As long as it is not an important position, the superiors will turn a blind eye. This is the current customary rule.And it's just a county magistrate, Master Min is also straightforward, and he immediately agreed.

Lin Ning glanced at Lin Ruhai, saw that his face was ugly, and felt a sudden shock in his heart, "When my younger sister was in Jia's mansion, Lian's second sister-in-law took care of her a lot. I think Lian's second elder brother has no talent, but he has never seen other elder sisters. What’s wrong, it’s pretty solid. Besides, I asked Mr. Li to go with me. In name, he was an aide, but in fact he was the teacher of Lian’s second brother. Mr. Li followed his father for many years, and later his father gave it to me. With his character and talent, he wouldn't watch Lian's second brother make mistakes."

Lin Ruhai's tone became a little cold, "You're not afraid of being overqualified."

With Mr. Li's talent, assisting a county magistrate is indeed a bit of a big talent.However, both Lin Ning and Mr. Li understood that Mr. Li was asked to go, but he wanted to see Mr. Li's ability in planning people's livelihood at the bottom.Three years at most, after three years, Lin Ning will be of great use to him.As for Lin Ning's identity, Lin Ning believes that Lin Ruhai never said anything, but Mr. Li vaguely felt something, but this kind of thing was too surprising, and Mr. Li was not sure.

Lin Ning transferred him out of the capital to avoid being noticed by him before the matter unfolded.

Lin Ning looked at Lin Ruhai, and said falteringly: "Mr. Li is too smart. If it was in the south of the Yangtze River, the matter might not be so obvious, but now in the capital, Mr. Li is following me. Sometimes the guy above can't control his words. Hello, I'm afraid Mr. Li..."

"The one above?"

Lin Ning replied sullenly: "Well, the one above."

Just refused to call "Royal Father", Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Ning in surprise, knowing that he has always been affectionate and stubborn, and sighed: "He has his own difficulties, I really can't blame him for this matter back then."

Lin Ning lowered his head and looked at his toes, and murmured slightly angrily, "Push me out in such a hurry!"

Lin Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, seeing Lin Ning's childish appearance, he couldn't help but laugh, coughed twice but didn't continue the topic, and moved to another place, "How is the test paper doing recently?"

exam paper?

Lin Ning raised his head and stared at Lin Ruhai dumbfounded!

God!Exam papers!When Lin Ruhai came to Beijing, Lin Ruhai asked someone to sort out a large pile of provincial examination questions brought over from the past years, as well as mock exam questions that he had written, but...

Seeing him like this, Lin Ruhai pretended to be angry, but turned into real anger, "What have you been doing these past few months! It's autumn in the middle of the month, and it's the beginning of the month now, how many days are left? You tell me, How many of those test papers did you do!"

Lin Ruhai slapped the table with his palm, Lin Ning jumped, and knelt down reflexively, not daring to make a sound.

Can he say that he really forgot?

In the past few days in Beijing, I was dizzy at first by such a shocking cannonball of my life experience, and then I was so frightened by Yang Sheng's little thoughts on Daiyu.My mind is full of these two things, coming and going even in my dreams, where do I still remember the imperial examination?What's more, if he is a prince, why would he need an imperial examination?

However, he only dared to complain from the bottom of his heart, but didn't dare to say it, but Lin Ruhai pierced his thoughts like a roundworm in his stomach.

"Did you think that now that your status is different, you don't have to take this path? If you are a person who is not interested in this path and tired of this path, that's all. How much effort you have put in in the past 16 years, are you going to retreat at this step? Is it? If you still think that you are from the Lin family, then you will honestly end up with me!"

Lin Ruhai flung his sleeves away, Lin Ning knelt in the study, not knowing whether to get up or not, so he could only kneel like this.Although he was scolded and punished, but somehow he was secretly happy. At least now that his identity has been revealed, Lin Ruhai is still willing to educate him, reprimand him, and punish him as before.Is this a disguised expression of Lin Ruhai?Expressing that no matter what his status is, does he still treat himself as his own child?

Lin Ning knelt straight, never was punished as seriously as today, until his legs were sore and he was released under Daiyu's plea before dinner.But it was only a meal for the whole family, Lin Ruhai frowned coldly, "What are you still doing here, don't you need to study for the provincial exam?"

Lin Ning swallowed, "Father, are you serious?"

Lin Ruhai stared at both eyes, "Who told you lies!"

"I thought you wanted to comfort me, and you deliberately lost your temper at me because you were afraid that I would feel uncomfortable."

The corner of Lin Ruhai's mouth twitched, and he reached out to pat Lin Ning's head, "Which one is so busy that you are afraid that you will feel uncomfortable, but still comforts you! You are so sentimental, why don't you hurry to the study."

The voice was unnatural, but he just refused to admit his thoughts.Lin Ning had no choice but to swipe the screen in his heart. If you want to be so arrogant, just admit what's wrong!

"In short, you have to take the imperial examination if you want to, and you have to take it if you don't want to. If the ranking is not good, I can see that the day the truth comes out, do you have the face to face the officials whose ranking is far above you?"

Lin Ning's head buzzed.Fuck, do you want to do this!This is a serious threat to him!Yes, it is a threat!

Damn, will someone say, look at His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, and even after he ascends the throne, will someone say, look at His Majesty the Emperor's scientific research back then, and he was still under me?

Lin Ning wanted to cover his face, do you know what it means to specialize in surgery?Who said that to be an emperor must be more talented than everyone else?

However, even though this is the case, it would be a shame if such rumors spread, and if his ranking was too low, it would be embarrassing.

Lin Ning trembled all over, and Sa Yazi ran to the study, leaving Lin Ruhai with a low chuckle, but Daiyu and Lin Yanxi looked a little puzzled.

Fortunately, Lin Ning has the knowledge accumulated in several lifetimes, has experience in many scientific examinations, and is very familiar with the examination questions of this era.After a few days of closed-door practice, Lin Ning was familiar with the homework of the scientific examination again. After entering the examination room, Lin Ning wrote like flying.

All the way from Jieyuan to the imperial examination, and then to the palace examination with Huiyuan, and won the title of number one scholar in the palace examination.

And just when Lin Ning was finally able to let go of the burden on his body, thinking that after he broke free from Lin Ruhai's mysterious devil-style training that had not seen the sun for several months, there was an uproar in the capital.

Yang Sheng died, the eldest prince sent troops to force the palace!
