[Red House] Raiders of life

Lin Xun replied feebly.

Lin Jin said again: "It's only two months away from New Year's Day, and Yanshan Academy doesn't say that it's enrolling halfway. Therefore, we can only wait for next year, when the Shangyuan Festival comes out, it will be the assessment period of Yanshan Academy. Father I sent a letter to the head of the Academy, but said that everything is in accordance with the rules. Therefore, you and the third brother still need to pass the exam by yourself."

"The third brother is going too?" Lin Xun instantly felt that Lin Jin was being treated unfairly, "Then why doesn't the third brother have to memorize so many books and keep so many things silent?"

Lin Jin was very speechless, "If you have the same ability as the third brother, the county examination, the hospital examination, and the government examination are the top three cases! Then you don't need it!"

Lin Xun had no more words to say, but felt even more depressed in his heart. He just wanted to yell, why!God, it's fine if you give me an outstanding elder brother, but you have to give me a monstrous younger brother!Also let people live!

In fact, even though Lin Xun's temperament is uncertain, under the strict upbringing of the Lin family and the pressure of Lin Ruhai, he is not ignorant, and his knowledge is not bad.Unfortunately, the situation is not very good!It doesn't matter if there is Lin Jin on the top, this is the elder brother, and the elder brother's future will not look too much like the younger brother.

However, Lin Yi below is two years younger than him, but apart from his inferior body, he is several times better than him in everything else.In contrast, Lin Xun is a brat, and Lin Yi is what everyone praises as "other people's child".

Take this year's exams as an example, county exams, hospital exams, and government exams, if you pass all the exams, you are a scholar, and you have achieved fame after all.Lin Xun planned to take the exam, and with his knowledge, he would not be among the top few in the exam, so it would be no problem to be on the list.However, seeing that he was about to take the exam, Lin Yi also reported itching.

It's going to be miserable now, the two brothers took the exam together, but wouldn't it be embarrassing if they couldn't pass the exam for his brother who was two years younger than him?Moreover, Lin Ruhai also said that Lin Yi has a solid foundation, not to mention natural talent, even the top case is also possible.Now Lin Xun was even more unwilling.Damn it, my younger brother got the first place in the exam, and my older brother was at the bottom, where is his face going!

For this, Lin Xun complained for a long time.Later, I really had self-knowledge and felt that the grades obtained by my brother would be very different from those of my younger brother, so I played tricks and refused to take the exam.It made Lin Ruhai beat him up and lay on the bed for two days, but he couldn't beat him, so he could only let it go.

As a result, Lin Yi really won the case, not only the county examination, but also the hospital examination and government examination later.Lin Xun was even more frustrated.You are only 11 years old! 11 years old, okay!Do you want to be so evil!Give people a way out, okay?

Lin Xun glanced at Lin Jin, "Brother, why don't I take the exam in Linchuan Prefecture? It's also close to Kyoto."

According to the rules of the scientific examination in the Wei Dynasty, if the elder is a local important official, the descendants must avoid the examination and refer to other places.Therefore, both Lin Jin and Lin Yi avoided the boundaries of Yangzhou and Suzhou in the exams.But no matter what, it is also in Jiangnan, where there are many talented people.But where is Linchuan Mansion?It is in the neighboring province of Kyoto, but it is indeed the county with the worst education level in the whole country.

Lin Xun felt that this method was feasible, so he read it carefully, and he might really be able to take the case test when he went to Linchuan Mansion.

Lin Jin almost couldn't hold back another slap, "Oh, then the capital is closer, let's take the exam in Beijing!"

Lin Xun trembled, Jingdu... He didn't even dare to think about it!forget it!

Lin Jin said again: "I'm not worried about the third brother in the entrance examination of Yanshan Academy, but if you can't even pass this, hmph..."

The last cold snort almost came out from between his teeth, Lin Xun only felt a chill down his spine, with a bitter face, he didn't dare to say another word.What a mistake!

Compared with Lin Xun's dire situation, Lin Yi, who also needs to take the exam, can be described as quite leisurely.

After coaxing Lin Nuo to sleep, Lin Ning made a long list for him and Daiyu, which were all the people the Lin family would invite to a banquet in a few days.Of course, most of these families also have women of the right age for marriage.

Lin Yi knew it right away, "Is grandma going to choose a wife for eldest brother?"

Daiyu was very disturbed, "Grandmother, this should be chosen by the eldest brother. I..."

"Let's take a look first. Your eldest brother is the elder brother, and the one who will marry you will be your elder sister-in-law. The elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and she will deal with you younger brothers and sisters in the future. You can't dislike each other and turn against each other. .”

Lin Yi's face turned red. In this kind of thing, it is usually better to ask a girl like Daiyu if her family is okay.It's just that he is a man!After thinking about it, it became clear that Lin Ning probably felt that he was not in good health. A little dejected, secretly hating himself for not living up to expectations, and breaking the hearts of the elders.

He opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, he just pretended to be indifferent and suppressed his thoughts, and began to lead Daiyu to talk about the elder sister-in-law's choice.

"The elder brother is the eldest son of the family, and I am afraid that he will become an official after the spring. The elder sister-in-law needs to have the ability to be a housekeeper, help the elder brother avoid the worries of the house, and also need to be able to read the mansion newspaper. It would be better if the government is in charge. Given the situation of our family, it is naturally impossible to be a concubine. Even if it is a concubine, it will not work for those who do not pay attention to the education of women."

With that said, Lin Yi crossed off those on the list who advocated that "women are virtuous without talent".

Maybe it was because Lin Yi was talking openly and freely, and Daiyu also spoke freely, "Sister-in-law must share the same interests as elder brother. Eldest brother loves tea, it is best to have some attainments in the tea ceremony, no matter how bad you are, you have to be good at it." Taste tea. Eldest brother also likes to play chess, and sister-in-law must also be a master here, otherwise she will not be able to play chess with elder brother."

Look, this is the difference between the perspective of boys and girls.Lin Yi was a little dazed. What he said could still be checked for his family traditions, but how could he check what Daiyu said?

"Also, elder brother likes facial features more than Zanhua Xiaokai. Therefore, it is best for sister-in-law to have a good body. Zanhua Xiaokai is beautiful, but not majestic."

Lin Yi: Sister, um... the eldest brother said this because he is a man, how can a man learn Zanhua Xiaokai?But women are different!

"Brother likes to go out for spring in his spare time. If sister-in-law can ride a horse, it would be great to be with him!"

Lin Yi: This...women can ride in a carriage, sister!

However, seeing Daiyu's eloquence, Lin Yi swallowed the words, took out a pen and paper lovingly, and wrote down what Daiyu said one by one.They even sorted out and listed them in an orderly manner. When Lin Ning heard that something was wrong, the two of them had already listed more than 100 items.

Among them, there are actually don’t like sweet, it’s better to eat spicy food and so on!Lin Ning couldn't laugh or cry!

The next day, when Lin Ning showed this list to Lin Jin, Lin Jin was stunned and said with a wry smile, "Sister, are you sure you are looking for a sister-in-law, not a brother who is exactly the same?"

Daiyu was stunned for a while, but couldn't recover, and finally said: "I just think everything should be in line with elder brother's wishes."

Lin Jin smiled and said: "Some need it, some don't. For example, my younger sister can't eat spicy food, but she can still share meals with her brothers. My younger sister can't ride a horse, but both elder and second brothers can take you to ride, yes ?"

Daiyu's face turned red, knowing that she had made too strict a list, she covered her face in embarrassment and went straight to Lin Ning's arms.It made everyone laugh.

Two days later, a letter came from Jiangnan. Because Zhen Shiyin had moved, it took some effort to check, and only then did we get the news.Fortunately, because Lin Ning scolded that monk at the beginning, no one tried to lure Zhen Shiyin to become a monk.I don’t know if it’s the butterfly effect or something. After Zhen Shiyin was very decadent for a while, he didn’t completely give up the common sense, and slowly began to regain his life. Now he started some small businesses with his wife’s dowry. After being destroyed, I have saved some now. It is not a big fortune, but it is still a small family, and I don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

Hearing that her daughter had news, Zhen Shiyin packed up her things overnight and took his wife to Beijing.Because the letter left quickly and got ahead of the others, the Zhen family couple probably arrived within two days.

Because the Lin family intervened, even though Xiangling followed Xue's family into Beijing, she did not serve Xue's family.When he went to Jia's mansion that day, Lin Jin personally reported the matter to Jia Zheng. Xue Pan was a nephew, and Jia Zheng didn't want to punish him severely, but he also went to talk about it and asked them to place him in Xiangling's other courtyard, waiting for Lin Jin's inquiry. result.

After receiving the letter, Lin Jin went to Jia's house again. After the Zhen family and his wife went to Beijing, Lin Jin personally picked up someone to meet Xiangling in Jia's house.Because of Lin Jin's mediation, the Zhen family bought Xiangling back with money, and the two parties agreed that the matter would not be mentioned again.

Also, this is not a good thing for Xiangling.

The Zhen family brought Xiangling to visit Lin Ning once, and thanked Lin Ning once, and left for the hometown the next day.

Lin Ning couldn't help feeling that it was a good deed.Xiangling is really a waste to Bawang Xue!
