[Red House] Raiders of life

Lin Yi put down the pen in his hand and looked at Lin Jin, "Wang Shuirong of Beijing Jing works in the Ministry of Punishment, right?"

Lin Jin nodded, "Yes! I didn't expect them to make such a move."

Sending a woman to be a concubine, thinking you can avoid it?Is that what they committed?Four kings and eight princes, the king of Beijing is also one of them.It's just that Shui Rong is smarter and can see more clearly than other families. He put his tail away early in the morning and broke all the broken ones.The emperor is not a ruthless person, for the sake of their reasonableness, maybe they can let it go.

It's just that if the king of Beijing Jing wants to use the authority of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to eliminate the evidence of the Jia family's crimes, that would be a fantasy. Not to mention that the king of Beijing Jing doesn't have this ability, even if he does, he would not dare to do it.

There was a gleam of coldness in Lin Yi's beautiful eyes, and his red lips parted slightly, "It's ridiculous."

yes!ridiculous!

Lin Jin stepped forward and took out a paper from Lin Yi's case. Seeing that his article was beautiful and meaningful, he nodded slightly. At Lin Yi's age, it can be said that he was better than him.Lin Jin was both relieved and worried.

"It's still a few months. With your knowledge, it's just a provincial exam. You can pass it. Don't work too hard."

Lin Yi responded lightly, but he didn't think so in his heart.He didn't just want to pass.Although Lin Ruhai said that according to his current progress, he can be in the top no matter whether it is the provincial examination or the general examination.It's just that he wants more.

He wants to be first!Only in this way can he gain fame.Cui Yan said that with his current calligraphy, he is already capable of forming a family of his own, and he has taught everything he can.How far he can reach in the future depends on his own understanding and hard work.

But if you don't have a great reputation, no matter how good your handwriting is, it will be difficult to push it out.But if you can have the name of six yuan and first, and then show this good calligraphy, it will be different.In this way, Liuyuan Jidi and the names of calligraphers will complement each other and increase chips for each other.By then, everyone will know him as Lin Yi.Only then can he make better use of his fame to do something to achieve his own goals.

Juren and Jinshi are not even coming to him.But it is not easy to get the champion position.No matter how good his knowledge is, he is still young after all, and has many years of knowledge accumulation less than others.Besides, he doesn't just want the No. [-] pick.There is one champion every three years.However, those who have entered the third rank like Lin Jin may not be able to produce one or two in decades.What's more, six yuan and the first...

Lin Yi thought to himself, he must work harder!Fortunately, there are abundant resources around him, including Tanhualang's father, Zhuangyuanlang's elder brother, and Mr. Shanchang, who is full of peaches and plums.

Lin Jin looked at him, and could tell from his expression that he didn't listen to what he said, so he couldn't help frowning, "You are still young, so you don't need to be so anxious. You can just wait for another subject."

Lin Yi lowered his head and remained silent. He could wait, but the Lin family might not be able to wait.After that time when Lin Ruhai's life and death were uncertain in Yangzhou, he understood that the Lin family could not rely on his father and elder brother alone.He can't put all the burden of the family on Lin Jin alone.And after this incident, he understood even more that the Lin family could not simply rely on the illusory emperor's heart.He must set up a gun for the Lin family.But he couldn't do it with his own strength, so he had to drag Lin Xun into the water.

Lin Jin sighed again, this younger brother has always had his own ideas, and no one can persuade him of anything he decides.If he doesn't want to say something, he won't say it no matter you use soft or hard words.However, if Lin Yi didn't say anything, it doesn't mean he didn't have other ways to know.

Thinking of this, Lin Jin simply changed the subject, "In the past two days, there have been some rumors in Beijing, all related to the Jia family. The eldest daughter of the Xue family has had heat poison from the womb since she was a child. The eminent monk instructed me to wear a golden lock and wear it on my body every day, and it gradually recovered. It’s just that the gold lock needs to be matched with a jade one. Jia Baoyu was born with jade in his mouth. It’s been widely spread.”

Lin Yi knew that Lin Jin wanted to ask if this matter was related to him.

He chuckled and said, "The Xue family originally meant this, but they just haven't made up their minds. Xue Baochai has the ambition to reach the top of the clouds, but unfortunately the Xue family has no way to reach the top of the sky. I have hit a wall a few times, and now I understand that Baoyu is probably her. It is the best choice that can be grasped. Especially now that Jia’s family has a noble concubine, their thoughts have become active again. In addition, the old lady directly mentioned the marriage between her younger sister and Baoyu with her mother that day. How could they not Urgent? The identity of my younger sister is here. If our family agrees, a fool will know how to choose between our family and the Xue family. Therefore, they are in a hurry, why don't they take action? I just helped them and added fuel to the flames Let’s make this matter bigger and spread it wider.”

"and then?"

Lin Yi looked at Lin Jin and asked in surprise, "How does the eldest brother know that there is another way?"

Lin Jin didn't answer, how could a brother with the same mother not guess what he was thinking.

Lin Yiyan said: "I asked someone to hire a storyteller from a teahouse to make this into a story and tell a paragraph every day. But I added some content. The so-called golden and jade marriage is not only Xue Baochai who has jade, but Shi Xiangyun also has a golden unicorn." , and Jia Baoyu’s unicorn is a pair. Furthermore, Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai have a cousin-in-law relationship, which makes them even closer. But he and Shi Xiangyun still have childhood friendship.”

Lin Jin chuckled, "Actually, you don't have to do so much. Even without these things, Jia Baoyu and his sister wouldn't be able to do it."

Lin Yi's eyes flashed, "I can't understand him."

Lin Jin was taken aback for a moment, his appearance was a bit like Lin Xun's. Thinking of Lin Xun's code of conduct that he couldn't get used to beating him up, Lin Jin couldn't help laughing.

"The Xue family came together on their own. As for Shi Xiangyun... because Jia Baoyu had different thoughts about her sister, she stabbed her sister several times."

Lin Jin frowned, "Sister said?"

"My younger sister talked to my grandmother as a joke, and didn't take it to heart at all."

Daiyu didn't take it to heart, but Lin Yi heard it, and she really took it to heart.

Lin Jin nodded, people in their family can't be bullied casually.Seeing that Lin Yi turned his head and pulled out another case question, Lin Jin's expression flickered, and he opened his mouth, but in the end he just said a few words, telling him not to work too hard and pay attention to his words.

After leaving the study, Lin Jin turned around and went to look for Lin Ning.

"The second younger brother said a few days ago that he wanted to take an official career and help my father and me. For this reason, he didn't even go to the Anping Princess's Mansion, and he didn't even make drawings after studying for two years. Instead, he changed his previous dislike of reading. If you work hard, you will spend six or seven hours a day in the study even after you come back from the academy. No matter how much you persuade him, he won’t listen to it. If you insist that he is not as smart as me and my third brother, you can only rely on ‘diligence can make up for one’s weakness’.”

Since the incident with Lin Ruhai, several children have changed, especially Lin Xun.Lin Xun even cried secretly while hiding, feeling that he was useless.Not only can't contribute to the family, but also his father and elder brother help him arrange a way out because of his future.

Previously, he had asked Master Wu to teach him fists, helped him tie the knot with the horse of Anping County, and was looking for Mr. Junshi. These things were so insignificant, how could Lin Xun not understand.His temperament is not suitable for an official career, and even if he leaves an official career, he will not go far.However, in life, one must have a foundation.So his father and brother found a path that suits him best for him.But the most suitable path for him is not the most beneficial path for the Lin family.

When Lin Xun found out that the Lin family might not be as powerful as he thought, and his father and elder brother were in trouble, and when the Lin family was in crisis, he was completely useless, so one can imagine how he felt.

So among the whole family at that time, Lin Xun was probably the one who felt the most uncomfortable.After that, he changed his temper and studied hard.

Lin Jin sighed, and continued: "Later, I heard that the third younger brother went to look for him. The two of them closed the door and talked for a long time. After that, the second younger brother stopped embarrassing himself. It’s not so tight. Instead, I put most of my enthusiasm into drawing again, and even spend more time on it than before.”

"Afterwards, the third brother proposed to take the provincial examination this year, and even the general examination next year. My father and I thought at the time that with his knowledge, there were still many days left, and it would not be a problem to slowly raise a person to be a Jinshi. But I see Seeing that the third younger brother’s energy is not like this now. And when his father said that if he worked harder, he would probably be able to get in the first grade in the imperial examination, he was not very happy. Although the third younger brother is proud of his talents, he is not a person who cares about power .And the various changes between him and his second brother these days, as well as the frequent conspiratorial whispers, make me feel that it is not easy."

"Grandmother, the third brother was brought up by you alone. Since he was a child, he was always willing to tell you some things he didn't want to say to us and his father. He was taught by you when he was young. Because of his poor health, he was ten years old. I lived with you in your yard before, and moved to the front yard after I was ten years old. You know him better than we do. He has many things, many ideas, and even you taught him. Grandma, I want to know, where is the third brother? do what?"

After listening to Lin Jin's worries, Lin Ning suddenly realized that Lin Xun and Lin Yi were indeed a little unusual during this time. She frowned and thought about it, and said, "Brother Yi recently asked me a lot about the library. .”

Lin Ning mentioned the library to several children, but that was all.

Lin Jin frowned, "The third brother also asked me about the collection and transcripts of the Imperial Academy."

Lin Ning's heart skipped a beat, she thought, she probably already knew what Lin Yi and Lin Xun said, and what he was going to do.

Lin Xun is very talented in geographical drawing, although Lin Ning told him about geography and Xu Xiake at the beginning, but just wanted to find a suitable way for him.But after discovering his amazing talent, Lin Ning attracted him more and more to military drawings.In particular, there is a gentleman in the mansion who has been a military adviser.Judging from Lin Xun's talent in the past two years, the production of detailed maps should be achievable, and Lin Xun's difference is mostly seen.For this, he only needs to go out to the mainland of Kyushu for a walk.

If such a map can be achieved, it will be of great use in military operations.At that time, it will inevitably be deposited in the Ministry of War, and it will also bring about a revolution in the border troops everywhere.And as long as there is a war, the actual benefits brought by these maps to the battle will be highlighted, and everyone will remember Lin Xun at that time.

This is military spirit.Because Lin Xun is not a general and does not hold power, he will not be suspected by the king.Even if the people in the army recognized his talent and appreciated his map, they were only showing kindness to him and the Lin family, but they would not do anything to rebel for the Lin family.So the emperor can tolerate this.

And that's all the Lin family wanted.

What Lin Yi has to do is probably to promote the library.The emperor attacked the four princes and eight princes, firstly because of some things that stood in line back then, secondly because the four princes and eight princes used their early achievements to show off their power in Beijing and became a cancerous tumor, and thirdly because the emperor also wanted to weaken the power of the family's entanglement and cultivate the children of poor families, Better centralize imperial power.

If you want to promote children from poor families, judging from the current social system, the only way out is the imperial examination.Although the imperial examination is currently the fairest promotion channel.But there are many disadvantages in it.It is a question of resources.Although there is movable type printing nowadays, the technology is not mature.Not to mention the expensive books, most of the important books have not been circulated, and most of them are in the hands of rich and powerful people.

There are even many books that poor students can't see.Not to mention the faculty.If you want to break this situation, the library is undoubtedly a good way out.But they wanted to build a library everywhere, but the Lin family couldn't and couldn't do it.Therefore, it is necessary to use the royal sign.

The Hanlin Academy is an excellent channel.In fact, Lin Jin is in Hanlin now, so it's not that he can't do it.However, although he also became famous at a young age, and the three-yuan and the first, although the people of the three-yuan and the first are rare, they are not without it.His reputation is only in the capital.Besides, part of it came from the fact that he was the son of Lin Ruhai.

If he took the lead in organizing it, then everyone would only know that the library belongs to the royal family, and the achievements of the Lin family would not be publicized.

If you want to succeed in this, and make people think of the Lin family when mentioning the library, and cannot erase the shadow of the Lin family, then the organizer must have a greater reputation to support it.

Only in this way can the maximum benefit be obtained.This is the will of the people.

In this way, the Lin family has the hearts of the army and the people.In particular, these two weapons can only be used as weapons and cannot be used as offensive weapons. Therefore, they will not bring much taboo to the superiors.But the Lin family can enjoy the greatest protection.Even if one day, those in power feel that the Lin family's meritorious service is superior to the master, or they want to hide everything, they must weigh the influence of the Lin family.

It has to be said that once the things planned by Lin Yi are successful, as long as the Lin family does not seek rebellion, they will be invincible and benefit their descendants.Even if Lin Ruhai and Lin Jin are gone from now on.Others don't want to bully the descendants of the Lin family casually.

Lin Jin sighed, Lin Yi thought more than his eldest son.However, a greater reputation than Sanyuan Jidi...

Lin Jin was startled, "He wants six yuan and first?"

No!Maybe not only that.Lin Jin thought of Lin Yi's time, and he didn't forget to copy books and practice calligraphy when writing articles.Think of his calligraphy that is self-contained.Before leaving, Mr. Cui said that there was a legacy from his grandfather.

Now he is only 14 years old, even if he passes the palace examination next year, he will be 15 years old.

A 15-year-old master of Liuyuan Jidi and calligraphy, these two prestigious names will be spread more widely before his age.No wonder, no wonder, he refused to wait another three years.

In the previous dynasty, there was a young man named Lang Zhouyan who was six yuan and ranked first, but there was also one.Even when the government and the opposition changed, everyone still remembered Zhou Yan's fame.As long as Zhou Yan is mentioned, □□[-]% of the students can tell his life.

Three years later, even if Lin Yi got the sixth grade in middle school, he would still be the same as Zhou Yan.But if he passed this subject, his talent and reputation would naturally be higher than Zhou Yan.And because Zhou Yan is already well-known, when everyone mentions Zhou Yan, they will naturally think of Lin Yi who is more powerful than him.Even if Lin Yi still has good calligraphy...

Then he only needs to have a little troublesome achievement, and he doesn't have to spread it by himself. Naturally, someone will help him spread it to the whole country.

Thinking of this, Lin Jin didn't feel very happy, but turned pale.

He is a person of the three yuan and the first, and no one understands the hardships better than him.At that time, he was 17 years old, and he had two years of knowledge and two years more accumulation than Lin Yi.But even so, how did he come here more than half a year before the scientific examination?

There are endless test questions and endless books every day.I get up at the beginning of the morning to read every day, and go to bed when I do the questions on each page.

With such intense training, he was asked by Lin Ruhai to exercise every day since he was a child. Even those who often race horses suffered from two minor illnesses. How could Lin Yi bear it?

Lin Jin suddenly stood up, "I'll go and talk to him!"

"stop!"

Lin Jin looked at Lin Ning, "Grandmother, the third brother's body..."

Lin Ning sighed, "I understand, I know all about it. But, Brother Yi's temperament, he can't pull back eight horses to decide what he decides. If we talk about it, he can't bear us to worry about it, so he agreed. He did rest when we were watching. But what about when we are not watching? Will he work harder every night to make up for the time lost in the day? Will he have to make up for the loss by then? "

Lin Jin's lips trembled slightly, and he was speechless. This is indeed what Lin Yi would do with his temper.

Lin Ning thought for a while and said, "Go and call your father."

Today is a holiday, and Lin Ruhai was already at home, so he came very quickly. He also listened to Lin Jin's story along the way, and sighed as soon as he entered the door: "I don't know that Brother Yi has such thoughts, where is our house?" It's time for him to be nervous and fight with his life. Mother, don't worry, I will discuss this matter with him. If he refuses, I will use my power for personal gain and withdraw the reference quota for this subject. I think What else can he do!"

This is indeed the time to draw the bottom line, but if this is really done, Lin Yi will feel even more uncomfortable.Besides, he will definitely find other ways.

Lin Ning sighed softly, "Call Imperial Physician Gong over to show brother Yi tomorrow. He has been in much better health for the past few years. I heard that the master Wu you found for brother Xun also has some light exercises. Ask him to talk about the method with Dr. Gong. To translate my brother's body, I thought about whether I could improve it by practicing martial arts, but the doctor said at that time that his heart disease was too serious and he couldn't afford too much exercise. Can't even run a horse."

"But now he hasn't had a heart attack for a long time, and his body has improved a lot. Maybe... Anyway, let Gong Taiyi and Master Wu take a look. You just took up the post of Minister of the Household Department, so you don't have time. Brother Jin's Hanlin The courtyard is free, if this method is feasible. Let Brother Yi get up early and Brother Xun to study with Master Wu every day, and Brother Jin will watch from the side. Fortunately, it is only April, and it is still early."

Both Lin Ruhai and Lin Jin agreed.Lin Ning said again: "Dr. Qin and Qin Qing are gone, but the mansion still needs to raise a doctor. Although the imperial doctor is good, he is not waiting for twelve hours. You should inquire outside, it is best if you are good at heart. I’m sick, a nurse. It’s okay to invite a few more, our family can afford it. I’ll also show the daily menu to the imperial doctor, and pick out the most suitable medicinal diet for Brother Yi’s current situation.”

Lin Ruhai heard it and said, "You don't need to work on your mother, let Min'er do it."

Lin Ning moved his eyes, shook his head and said, "Weiwan is about to give birth, and she has to take care of it. Besides, Brother Yi was brought up by me. If I don't watch or do something, I won't let it go."

Above all, it must be brought from her spring.

After this was settled, as soon as Lin Ruhai went out, someone called Lin Yi over and yelled at him, but even if he was so angry at the moment that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, he only dared to swear at Lin Yi with his mouth. , he really didn't dare to hit or punish.

The next day, the results brought by Imperial Physician Gong and Master Wu were feasible, and from what Imperial Physician Gong said, the situation was better than they thought.

On the third day after learning about this, Daiyu also joined the ranks of making medicinal meals for Lin Yi.

Lin Ruhai knew that Lin Yi was smart, and was worried that he would have some other tricks behind his back. He was afraid that even if he didn't allow the method of dredging the bottom line, he would not be able to succeed, so he could only follow him and formulate a set of work and rest plans specifically for him.He also changed his homework a little bit.Naturally, there is no need to go to the academy.I only went to Shan Chang's house for two hours in three days.

So far at the end of April, Xu Weiwan had seizures at night and gave birth to a baby boy until tomorrow.This generation of the Lin family, Lin Ruhai watched the sunrise in the east, and named it "晅".

When Lin Jun was full moon, the Wang family of the Jia family came to congratulate him. After the guests dispersed, he dragged Jia Min to talk about Jia Yuanchun's family-saving villa. He said that the Xue family had paid 10 taels, implying that Jia Min was married out. Women should also produce some.Jia Min pretended not to understand, and politely sent it out.Wang was so angry that he crushed a handkerchief.

Afterwards, Lin Ning shook his head and sighed: "The Xue family is no better than before. Back then, for the sake of Ziwei Sheren's false name, he could get a million taels. Now for his daughter, he only took out 10 taels." .”

On the brother's side, Lin Xun pouted, "It's not bad to give 10 taels, and it's not their Xue family's business. That's because Xue Baochai's reputation is gone now, Jia Baoyu must be there, otherwise the Xue family would not agree. But even With the 10 taels, the affairs of these two people may not be accomplished."

Lin Xun rolled his eyes, pulled Lin Jin and said, "Several families are building family-friendly villas now. I heard that many things have to go to the south of the Yangtze River to buy. That's the site we've stayed in for more than ten years, and we know each other well! Besides Father is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River now, and it is very useful. If we don't want to use our hands, maybe we can earn a... Oops!"

Lin Jin slapped him on the head, "What are you thinking! Our family is not short of money."

Lin Xun was very upset, "I know. I really don't want to see the Jia family, I want to knock them off. Who doesn't know, most of the money for the family-saving villa is probably the property of the Zhen family. The Zhen family almost killed Dead father. I just want to make trouble for them."

"We can't get involved in this matter. There are still a few princes above! You can pretend that others can't see the benefits of this!"

Only then did Lin Xun stop thinking.Sure enough, within two days, I heard that the Ninth Prince had gone south, probably for this business.

It's August, the period of the township examination.Lin Ning anxiously waited for Lin Yi to get out of the examination room. Seeing that although his complexion was a little pale, he was still energetic when he spoke. He asked the imperial doctor to see him and said that he would be fine after two days of recuperation, so he was relieved.

Afterwards, the results of the township examination were released, and Lin Yi really had to understand Yuan.Lin Xun is also on the list, but his ranking is relatively low.

There is a big gap between the two brothers, and he doesn't care, he just smiled and said to Lin Ning that he can go to Anping County Lord's Mansion to set a date.This is indeed an agreement between the two families. After Lin Xun passed the provincial examination and passed the exam, he will apply for a period.It can be seen that Lin Xun can't wait.It's just that he couldn't wait any longer, besides marrying a wife, there was one more thing, and that was what Lin Ruhai had promised him long ago, and if he won the move, he would let him go out to make troubles.

The two families had already prepared and moved quickly.Because Princess Anping wanted to stay with Su Wan for a little longer, the Lin family couldn't be too hasty, so they could only set the date in March of the next year.

Seeing that there was still half a year left, Lin Xun was unhappy, so he proposed to go out to play for a while, but Lin Ruhai had to say something beforehand, so he had to let him go.

However, the first stop in Lin Xun's plan was directly to the northwest, and he brought Mr. Military Advisor with him, his intentions were self-evident.
