It's really exciting to run after grabbing the male supporting role [Quick wear]
Chapter 53 The Double is Also Merry
"How could this be? Your father has always loved you the most." The beautiful woman laughed twice.
She had never heard such a blunt statement that she could not refute. If someone said this, the reputation of the Lin family would be completely ruined. Treating the son-in-law harshly is enough for those royal officials to read countless books.
"Of course my son knows about it," Lin Su said with a respectful smile, "so I just wanted to choose a book boy who can read and write, and my father is kind, so naturally he wouldn't tell me about it."
Lin Su's beard twitched, he squeezed the armrest of the chair, and said, "But where did you go? And who did you buy? Isn't it a place where scholars can go? If you are upright, why don't you bring him back?" ? If your reputation spreads, can you take into account your father's and my reputation? Can you take into account our Lin family's reputation, being a father is kind, but have you ever been filial?"
This hat can be enough for Lin Su to drink a pot. The saying that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather is really appropriate.
"If the son really wanted to flirt with men, he should not come home at night. I don't know who distorted the facts in front of his father and alienated our father and son. It is really ulterior motives," Lin Su saluted. A servant who chews on his master's tongue should be dragged out and killed."
"No, you can't!" The beautiful woman stopped directly, and she couldn't help but squeeze the veil tightly when she met Lin Su's meaningful eyes, "They just care about your reputation in Zhiyuan. His official career is not good, and how can those lowly people know any serious characters? If you think the book boy is not good, your father will naturally choose a better one for you. Those trashy ones should be sold as soon as possible."
Lin Su had quite a few bookboys, if he had to choose again and go back and forth, people would only think that the aunt is a virtuous mother and the aunt is difficult to take care of.
Lin Su sighed, and the beautiful woman just sat upright and stared at him, afraid that something would happen to him.
But Lin Su was really thinking about Yao Mozi: "Forget it, I won't hide it from my father. When Zhiyuan was young and lost at the Lantern Festival, it was my school boy's parents who helped me. Now I can be with you." The father is kind and the son is filial, lest the father lose his wife and son and be said to be a benefactor. The son knew that the benefactor was in distress and was sold into a place like a servant. How could he bear to continue to be tortured, so he stretched out his hand For helping me, the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, not to mention the kindness of saving a life. Such a great kindness, even if he is in trouble for a while, others can say that he is of low birth. My Lin family knows how to repay the kindness. How can I humiliate my benefactor like this , if it gets out, wouldn't it make people laugh at my Lin family for being ungrateful."
Wear a high hat, and he will too.
The beautiful woman froze on the spot: "Mother didn't know about this incident, Zhiyuan, you didn't make it clear earlier."
Lin Su ignored her, but looked at Father Lin: "Father said that I would not bring him back. The son was not because of a guilty conscience, but because he was afraid that he would really be criticized by others. In order to repay his kindness, he gave him a courtyard and a To earn a living, use the power of the father to prevent him from being disturbed by others, please learn from the father."
"I'll let you tell the good and the bad." Lin Ju sighed, "Is he really just a servant, not a servant?"
"Father, you can send someone to investigate. The Cui Nong Pavilion has the word Qing Tang on it." Lin Su said respectfully.
He made a strong promise, and Lin Ju didn't want to make trouble anymore: "Forget it, it's late at night, you go back first, and check it out later, if you have half a lie..."
"That son is unfilial, and the father can remove his son from the family tree if he wants." Lin Su said, looking directly at him.
Lin Su waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back."
The hearts of the two people in the chattering room hurt. The beautiful woman wanted to say something, but she had a stepmother and her stepfather's hat was off, which made it difficult for her to speak for a while, while Lin Ju kept sighing. , the atmosphere was quite stagnant.
Instead, Lin Su went into his small courtyard, someone brought hot water, and fell asleep comfortably after washing.
After staying in the tribute courtyard for a few days, he has to redeem people non-stop, and has to machine gun with his stepfather and stepmother. Even he has to rest.
This sleep was comfortable, but Lin Su was woken up by the sound of talking outside when the rooster crowed.
"The eldest young master came back yesterday and played a big show of prestige, which choked the master and his wife so much that he couldn't speak."
"This trip to Beijing is different. I don't know if I can pass the exam. I'll put on an official air first."
"Who makes someone a scholar, it's impossible to say."
"Since you know you can't say anything, you can still gossip here," Lin Su said, opening the window and looking at the people who were talking, "Here to sow discord between my father and son. I really need to fight. Come, hit!"
If he only offended the young master, he might not be beaten, but if he offended the master, the beating would be well deserved.
Lin Su beat people with his front foot, and let his reputation as a Diao Nu out with his back foot. Reputation is such a thing that people can't help spreading rumors.
"Madam, you have to decide for us, that young master is too cruel."
"It's really unkind to fight at will."
"We have also worked for the Lin family all our lives, how can we treat them like this."
"..."
There was a lot of crying, and the stepmother was also in trouble. She had just heard that someone had been beaten, and then she heard the rumors outside. If Lin Su were to make trouble again at this time, she might really end up letting the eldest son be treated harshly. The charges come down.
She figured it out, that guy was as tolerant as a sheep before, but now his true nature is revealed, he is clearly a wolf, the kind that hurts when he bites someone.
"Be patient for now, he is the eldest son of the master, how can I suffer the crime." The step-wife comforted me.
Lin Su was really too lazy to go back and forth with a woman. Instead of shooting a machine gun there, it would be better to just draw the bottom of the fire.
While the stepwife was still enduring the turmoil for the time being, rumors began to circulate that the Lin family had no children and that the concubine had nothing but the stepwife's hand. , and even the matter of sending some avoidance soup to the concubine's room was found out.
There was a big quarrel for three days, and a small quarrel for two days, forcing the whole Qinghe Mansion to watch the excitement.
"It turns out that her previous virtuousness and generosity were just pretending."
"I just said how could the step-wife be nice to the dead wife's children, it's hypocritical."
"Envy is one of the seven deadly sins."
"..."
Rumors abound, but Lin Su's place is much more relaxed, and he can go to the streets to learn about the rules and regulations of this world.
Qinghe Mansion is not far from the capital, and within a few days, all the candidates who rushed to take the exam had returned. Some people invited Lin Su to sit in a teahouse and tavern to talk about romance, knowledge, and gossip in the market.
It's not that men don't have the heart to gossip, it's just that those gossips can't be discussed in front of women.
"Have you heard, Yang Bowen seems to have fallen in love with someone in Beijing at first sight." The gentle scholar held his folding fan and whispered to Lin Su, "He is the most talented man in Qinghe Mansion, but he is also a hero and a sad beauty."
"Brother Zhiyuan has always been closer to Brother Bowen, do you know which girl he is yearning for?" Another person asked.
"I said that anyone will make the girl's reputation not so good." Lin Su didn't bother to get involved in Yang Cheng's affairs. People don't offend me, I don't offend anyone, and the protagonist is no different from ordinary people.
"Brother Zhiyuan is really boring, he is still such an old pedant, but I heard that you went to the Cui Nong Hall and redeemed someone to come out, I didn't expect you to have such a refined interest." Someone joked.
Lin Su said with a smile: "Brother Luli misunderstood, but the child's parents had saved my life. When my benefactor's son was in trouble, how could I stand idly by and not help? Besides, the child is just a servant, without you telling me so nasty."
Rumors are true or false, it depends on what you say and how you do it, a wrong sentence may destroy yourself, but based on kindness, no one can say that Lin Su is wrong, only that he knows the kindness Illustrated.
"So there is such a reason, brother Zhiyuan, Gao Yi, I worship you." Those people saluted one after another.
Lin Su smiled without saying a word, accepting it completely.
At this time, the conversation turned around, some people believed it, but some people didn't believe it. When Yang Cheng was living in the mansion and painting, someone came to visit him, in order to support each other in the future, which also referred to Lin Su's move.
"He just likes those things, and deliberately made up stories. One sold it to a brothel, and his parents and brothers are unknown, so I can't help him to say it." The man was quite disdainful.
Yang Bowen didn't stop painting, but just said: "A gentleman doesn't speak behind his back, so what he says may not be true."
So what if you really like men?If there is a person who is unparalleled in the world, even a man will feel admiration for him.
It's just that the status gap is there, and it is doomed to fail in this life.
"I don't know if Brother Bowen is staying in the mansion. I have found out clearly that the redeemed man is not a servant, but an unnamed Qing servant named Qingxi." The man snorted, "That bustard Dad even said that people are carried out after being asleep, you really think he Lin Zhiyuan is such a good person, and he is so kind to save his life, it's really thanks to him that he said it."
"If that's the case, he is also a bold person." Yang Cheng looked at the person in the painting, fanned it lightly with a fan and said, "I think that young man is also very good-looking."
"It's a thing that is painted and painted, who knows." The man continued, "But it is said that the young man looks like a man, and Brother Yuman said it after he came back from Beijing. Yi, you also know that brother Yuman has always been good at the way of Longyang, and it is normal to have been to the Guanguan, so what he said is probably close to ten."
"What did you say?!" Yang Cheng calmed down before changing his mind, looked at him excitedly, and almost tore off the painting in his hand, "Who do you think you look like?"
"Son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, what's the matter? It seems like seven or eight points," the man looked at Yang Cheng's excited expression, a little inexplicable, "Is there any problem?"
"It looks like seven or eight points..." Yang Cheng rolled up the scroll, walked back and forth a few steps, "I carried it out after I fell asleep, Lin Zhiyuan, could it be you too... But how could you humiliate him like this."
How can a young man compare to that man in case.
Seeing him muttering, the man didn't understand, so he said, "What humiliation?"
"Qi Qingyi, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has outstanding literary talents, and he is an example of scholars in the world," Yang Cheng said, "Lin Zhiyuan has seen him before, and presumably he admired him but couldn't get it, so he found a substitute, which is clearly a humiliation."
The man also stood up: "Since this is the case, if Qi Qingyi finds out, I'm afraid Lin Su will be too hungry and walk away."
"No," Yang Cheng subconsciously refused, "If you let him know, it will only dirty his eyes and ears. Let's talk to Brother Zhiyuan about this matter. Even if he is good at this, we shouldn't Humiliate that man."
That person was full of glory, and someone found a substitute to put him under him, and he was afraid that he would be angry.
Lin Su would go to the small courtyard to see Qing Tang when he had time, and changed the gauze from the small house, and wore ordinary linen clothes. His brows and eyes were still not covered, but the dusty aura around him was left behind. Childish and cute, really like a beautiful book boy.
Lin Su didn't come, and he didn't go out very much. The courtyard was really tidy as Lin Su said. The books and bedding were all dried, the tables, chairs and benches were scrubbed, and even the firewood pile in the kitchen was clean. Neatly.
When Lin Suchu bought the small courtyard, it was barely considered clean and tidy, but when he came back, he felt extremely comfortable walking, sitting and lying down. It took him less than half a cup of tea to sit down. Holding the pastry, a pair of eyes stared at him eagerly.
Because of working, his forehead was a little sweaty, and there were a few blisters on his slender and white fingers, but the smile on his face and the light in his eyes were not comparable to when they first met in the hall.
"Master Su, try this pastry, if it's not good, I'll change it." Qingtang looked at him with bright eyes.
Lin Su tasted the pastry and the tea. He seemed to be waiting for a compliment the whole time. If someone else was here, the pressure to be stared at would be too great. Lin Su stared at him expectantly and said: "It's very well done, but I don't like sweets, so it will be better if I put less sugar next time."
"Yes, Master Su." Qing Tang raised his eyebrows.
Under his expectant gaze, Lin Su drank tea and ate a lot of pastries. After giving himself enough face, he asked, "Have you ever practiced calligraphy in the past few days?"
Qingtang's face froze for a moment, he scratched his cheek lightly and said: "I have practiced it, but it's really hard to be elegant."
"Bring it and show it to me." Lin Su said.
Qing Tang carried a thick stack of paper over, and blushed slightly when handing it to Lin Su: "Qing Tang's handwriting is not as good as Master Su Wanyi."
The words that the young master just annotated on the storybook are better than those he had learned in the past. He had some confidence in his own words, after all, he also went to a private school, but he really wanted to throw them away.
Lin Su looked at the handwriting on the paper, and if he said it was bad, it wasn't particularly bad. Anyone who could read could read it clearly, but it was a little childish and not yet organized. If he could know so much, he might still have learned it in a private school when he was young. Well, although places like the Guanguan sometimes have to be accompanied by poetry reciting, but the poems they recite and what they do are not used by ordinary literati. I am afraid that what they learn more is how to serve guests well.
"It's a bit basic. If you compare with me right away, wouldn't it appear that my ten years of study have been in vain." Lin Su didn't condemn him. Everyone's experience is different, and there can't be a standard requirement.
When Qing Tang got along with him, he knew that he would not get angry easily, and he no longer had the initial anxiety, but the more he got along, the more he felt that the young master was very different from those sour Confucian scholars. At this moment, listening to what he said, she smiled embarrassedly. After a while, he said, "Young Master Su said so."
"If you want to learn characters, start with the most correct ones first, and then make yourself a whole." Lin Su said with a smile, "Don't worry."
He thought about the strokes of the fonts he learned at the beginning, and he practiced them bit by bit. He learned it first, and then learned other fonts, such as wild cursive, flying white, and thin gold, but it took a lot more time to learn than others.
Lin Su got up and spread out the paper. Qing Tang knew that he was going to write, so he sharpened the ink quickly.
The ink was black and full, and Lin Su swiped the pen on the paper, a word "Yong" appeared vividly on it, and every stroke was regular, like a golden hook and silver painting.
Qingtang blinked his eyes. He didn't understand the artistic conception of the words, but he also felt that the young master's writing was very good, much better than the words that he had marked out casually before.
"This character has the strokes of all fonts. If you can practice this character very well, the other characters will not be a big problem." Lin Su handed him the pen, "I've been here recently, and I'll bring you some Book, if you don’t know how, you can ask me.”
"Yes." Qing Tang looked at the word carefully as if he had found a treasure, and felt that the word was just like the young master himself.
With the majesty that a man should have, he stood upright, as if standing upright.
He was reluctant to draw on Lin Su's handwriting, so he put it aside, took a new page and copied it carefully, every time he wrote it, he felt that it was almost impossible to write like the young master.
He wrote seriously, and he was quiet. Lin Su felt much more comfortable staying here than in other places. He simply sat down at the table, took the paper and thought about those poems and essays, and wrote it on the paper.
In addition to copying, there is another way to describe in calligraphy. Qingtang can be a book boy for a while, but he cannot be a book boy for a lifetime. If one day he gets married and has children, he can also write letters for others, and he can also put them in good books. live.
Qing Tang wrote seriously, and after finishing writing a page, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Su, his beautiful eyes widened, and he said with admiration, "Master Su's writing is really good."
"In the future, you can draw on paper," Lin Su asked with a smile, "Have you ever gone out recently?"
"I went out once, and the paper at home is not enough." Qing Tang said honestly.
Lin Su kept his subordinates, and then asked again: "I think you have heard some rumors, are you not curious why I said you are kind to me?"
Qingtang smiled: "Young master has a reason for saying so. I am the young master's slave, so I don't ask if I shouldn't ask."
He actually heard a lot of rumors, some insulted the young master, and some praised him. People like them are not ashamed, and the young master also wanted to protect him.
"Then don't you wonder why I ransom you?" Lin Su looked up at him and said.
Qing Tang met his gaze, and his eyes drifted away uncomfortably: "I don't know, and I know that the young master has the truth of the young master, but it is inevitable that I also have curiosity in my heart. If the young master is willing to tell, Qing Tang will listen. If the young master If you don't want to say it, Qingtang won't ask."
He knew that it was hard to get a salary now, so he didn't dare to expect too much.
"Because you look like a person." Lin Su said frankly.
Qingtang was stunned for a moment, and asked: "...Is it the young master's favorite person?"
"Of course not." Lin Su laughed, "Although he looks like you eight times in birth, he has both talent and appearance, but he is not the person I like. Do you know who that person is?"
Qing Tang guessed: "I guess only the high-ranking people are qualified to study."
"He is from the capital." Lin Su said, "Qi Qingyi, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."
When Lin Su was going to Beijing in the future, it was inevitable that he would meet Qi Qingyi. This kind of thing should be made clear earlier, lest the child feel inferior or feel like a substitute.
"Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials..." The biggest official Qing Tang has ever seen in his life is the county magistrate. He is wearing a mighty official uniform and sits in the hall. I have heard of that kind of Beijing official, but in the mouth of the bustard, such a person is an official of the sky, and there is an existence that the county magistrate can't catch up with.
I don't know whether it is lucky or unlucky to be similar to his son.
Scholars are ashamed of them. If they know that he is very similar to the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, they will probably cause a lot of trouble.
"How could I be so similar to him?" Qing Tang was a little anxious, "If this is the case, wouldn't it cause trouble for the young master?"
"You are my book boy now, not someone in the hall. No matter how powerful Qi Qingyi is, there is no way that there will be no one like him in the world." Lin Su said, "We may leave here for the capital in a few days. It may happen again in the future, the purpose of my telling you this is that no matter who you look like, you don’t have to worry too much, just be yourself.”
"Yes." Qingtang responded obediently, and asked in a bold voice, "Since Young Master Su doesn't like him, nor does he have any kindness to my family, why does he want to redeem me for this trouble?"
"Although I have no intention of Qi Qingyi, someone is interested in him." Lin Su smiled, "Just treat me as an outburst of kindness."
"The young master obviously can't think of a reason." Qing Tang didn't see him getting angry when he said this, and his smile became brighter, "But the young master is a benefactor, and the young master doesn't want to say it, so Qing Tang waits for the young master to say it later .”
Lin Su responded.
06 Reminder: [Host, raising a child is risky, it doesn’t mean that you are completely safe if you don’t become a adoptive father. 】
This is the experience gained from the host, the more innocent and cute it looks, the more likely it is dark and dark.
[Thinking too much. 】Lin Su tried his best to bring the system back to the normal path, and don't worry about it.
06 is still very worried, after all, his uncle once had such confidence.
Lin Su could only comfort and said: [Don't worry, I have cheats and he doesn't. 】
06, as an existence like a cheat, finally found a little sense of need: [Host, I will definitely work hard. 】
[Well, I believe you. ] Lin Su laughed.
He is still very accurate in seeing people, and he can still tell whether a person is pretending or really innocent.
Wei Yuan in the previous world also had the ability to distinguish, but he was disturbed by emotions and was blinded by being in one of them. If he was facing other people, he would not be as tolerant and relaxed as he was with him.
But Lin Su didn't have this trouble, he wouldn't be blinded by emotion.
Lin Su didn't stay here for too long, he got up and left after writing the copybook, but he heard that someone came to visit when he arrived at the Lin Mansion.
"Who is it?" Lin Su asked.
"Say it's the young master of Yang Tongzhi's family." The servant dared not neglect the person who came out of the official's family.
Yang Cheng?
He received the news really fast. When Lin Su entered the main house, Father Lin was accompanying the guests. His face was full of smiles. It didn't look like he was entertaining the guests, but rather like Yang Cheng was his own son.
Lin Su coughed when he entered, and first saluted Father Lin with a three-point smile: "Father, the child is back."
He turned around and looked at Yang Cheng who was at the side again and said with a smile: "Brother Bowen came to the door, why didn't you let me know in advance, if I come back later, brother Bowen will have to wait."
Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Yang Cheng had a bad expression when he saw him, but at this moment he couldn't directly criticize him, but Father Lin slapped the table and said, "You did a good job!"
"I don't know what Zhiyuan did to make father so angry?" Lin Su was very puzzled.
"Kneel down!" Father Lin scolded directly.
Lin Su narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said with a smile: "If the father doesn't explain the reason, the child will not know what's wrong, and won't kneel."
"You still have the face to say, what kind of boy did you redeem? Shutong, you are so good at fabricating things, you have thrown your scholar's dignity into the dog's belly!" Father Lin threw the teacup angrily. After seeing Lin Su avoiding him, he was even more angry, "If it weren't for Bo Wen's talk today, I wouldn't know that you went to the capital to learn some nonsense things, and how dare you think about Master Shangshu's son?" , I think you are tired of living!"
Although he was angry at what he said, he made it clear. Lin Su understood, smiled and looked at Yang Cheng and said, "Brother Bowen is so quick with a woman's tongue?"
Yang Cheng's expression changed.
"Lin Su!" Father Lin scolded.
"Father, if Zhiyuan said that he is a lifesaver, he is a lifesaver." Lin Su saluted respectfully, "The son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is indeed outstanding, so what's wrong with Zhiyuan not wanting someone similar to him to fall into that kind of place? Brother Bowen knows If they are similar, they rush to the door non-stop, I don't know who has unreasonable thoughts about Mr. Shangshu, but they can't ask for it!"
Yang Bowen's face was green and pale, and he said in a cold voice: "Brother Zhiyuan, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If you talk nonsense and slander my reputation, this matter can't just end like this."
Lin Su laughed: "Brother Bowen, why are you so anxious? Did I say it was you? How dare you let Mr. Shangshu know that you are lusting after him if you admit it so quickly?"
As soon as Lin Su said this, everyone present looked at Yang Cheng who was at the side.
Lin Su did not mention his name, but Yang Cheng directly retorted, instead voluntarily admitting it.Yang Cheng's face was ugly, and the faces of the people who came with him were equally grim, but more complex.
"Can you guarantee that you have no affection for Wen Jue?" Yang Bowen asked through gritted teeth.
Lin Su stretched out his hand and said directly: "I, Lin Zhiyuan, swear by my ancestors and my whole family. If I have any affection for Qi Wenjue, my family will be ruined and my reputation will be ruined. Brother Bowen, I swear, do you dare to swear?"
His oath was really serious, even Father Lin couldn't stop him, but he seemed extraordinarily frank. On the other hand, Yang Cheng was on the verge of riding a tiger, and his face was so ugly that he almost dripped ink.
He didn't dare, and couldn't swear, because he was really interested in Wen Jue.
But Lin Su dared to swear such a poisonous oath, could it be that he really disliked Wenjue, but why did he want to redeem someone similar to that person?
"You redeemed that person really to repay your kindness?" Yang Cheng asked.
Lin Su said, "Naturally, although I have no intentions, there is no guarantee that others will be interested in him. I beg Allah not to find a substitute. I can only make such a bad plan. Brother Bowen probably doesn't care."
As soon as he said this, even Yang Bowen's way to the dignitary was blocked.
"Where did you put him?" Yang Cheng was really unwilling to put him in someone else's place, how could it be safe just relying on Lin Su's words?
Lin Su didn't answer, but said directly: "Brother Bowen didn't seem to swear just now."
Yang Cheng frowned: "I said no, why is brother Zhiyuan so aggressive?"
Father Lin hadn't spoken since just now, but now he said: "Nephew Yang Xian, my son has already said what he should have said, and he has also taken off the hat that should not be worn. He has good intentions, but if you insist If we want to pour dirty water on our Lin family, it will not be good for the harmony of the two families."
Although it is said that the first-level official crushes people to death, they are both officials, and there is no such thing as coming to the door to bully others.
Yang Cheng was so angry that his liver hurt, but he could only swallow the breath forcefully: "This junior is reckless, but I never thought that brother Zhiyuan was out of kindness."
"They are all scholars, who would have a rotten heart and lungs? Isn't it true that all the books have been read into the dog's stomach." Lin Su said to himself, abruptly making the two who were asked by Xingshi very restless.
"Shut up!" Father Lin frowned and scolded, then turned to Yang Cheng and the two, "There is something going on in the house today, so I won't keep the two of you for dinner."
The two were welcomed in, but at this moment they were in a state of embarrassment as if they had been kicked out. Only Father Lin and Lin Su were left in the room. Father Lin took a deep breath and said, "Are you really interested in that person?"
Lin Su said, "Father, do you want me to swear again?"
"No need!" Father Lin's head was throbbing with pain, and he really didn't want to offend his ancestors again, "If you didn't mean it, then you did the right thing. You can't offend the son of the Shangshu Mansion, as long as you look like him. You can't be humiliated easily, the Yang family's matter is too bold and reckless, if it spreads to the middle of the capital, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it, but you don't need to be afraid of him."
"Thank you father for protecting the child, the father is kind, the child is so grateful, it's hard to describe." Lin Su's high hat was put on his head.
Father Lin looked at him inexplicably: "Stop it! This is for the Lin family. You bring that man to the Lin family and take care of him. Don't be a book boy. This matter is not so easy to settle. You will cause trouble every day." , study hard when you have nothing to do, don’t go out to hang out, do you really think you will pass the exam? As a father, he also passed the exam four or five times.”
"Father, Qingtang won't cause gossip when he is outside, and if he really welcomes him into the mansion, he will make people think that the baby is hidden in a golden house." Lin Su said respectfully.
Yuan has family members, and although he has misbehavior and unequal servings of water in a bowl of water, he can't let go easily.
In this era, filial piety is also a criterion for evaluating officials. If you lose your filial piety, you will inevitably be read by the doctor of the imperial censor, which will affect your official fortune. Therefore, the relationship with these two elders is not just a matter of words, unless you can They couldn't get up in one breath.
"That's all, you can handle it yourself. If you don't handle it well, my father won't cover it up for you." Father Lin waved his hand and said, "Go back."
Although he was impatient with Lin Su, he was very displeased with Yang Cheng. In the past, he seemed to be polite and respectful, but he didn't expect him to be so ambiguous.
Just like what Lin Su said, if this matter spreads to Beijing, it would be good for the Yang family to fail. Although being an official in the same field would not make things worse, he would not be afraid if the Yang family made trouble.
Father Lin wanted to protect his family, so naturally he raised a few words when working with Father Yang, but unfortunately it didn't go well.
Yang Wenyuan said solemnly: "You should also educate your son well. You don't have to lose your dignity as a scholar. Zhiyuan has good intentions, but Bowen has bad intentions? Since you want to please Jingli, you don't have to act obediently in front of me. gone."
Naturally, the people below could only listen to what the superiors were talking about. Father Lin hesitated a few times, but he sighed and left without saying anything.
The Yang family is superior to the Lin family, and his son is the most promising high school student in Qinghe Mansion. If Yang Cheng re-enters the imperial court and becomes an official, his Lin family is nothing.
Lin's father knew the truth, and Yang Cheng knew it too, as long as he didn't know that there were similar people in this world, now that he knew it, his heart was burning like a fire, and he couldn't sleep at night.
He knew that Lin Su had left him outside, but it was not appropriate to go looking for this matter with great fanfare, otherwise it would cause a mess all over the place, and even the matter of going to the Lin's house earlier caused his father to reprimand him.
It didn't stop until he explained that he wouldn't really do Longyang's move.
If he really found someone, he would naturally not do that and insult that person in Jingzhong, replacing him with a young man would really be a humiliation, he just wanted to put a similar one in front of him and think about others.
And when he thought of what Lin Su might do to that person, he became very anxious.
"It's just a boy, if you can't be hard, you can buy it softly, just give me some money to buy it." Someone suggested to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng felt that this move was feasible, but the people he sent didn't even enter the Lin mansion, and the servants only said that Lin Su was fined to stay out of the house, which was unbearable.
If Lin Su couldn't come out, he couldn't be with that person. Yang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, but he felt that he missed him more and more. Every time he thought about the scene of Gongyuan coming out, he felt that no one could compare to that person.
If you can be an official in the same court in the future, and you can make an appointment or two, you will live up to this life.
It was already twenty days later when Lin Su came out again, and just after he was released from confinement, the members of the Yang family rushed to the door to invite him.
Lin Su didn't refuse, but as soon as he arrived at the restaurant, a thousand taels of silver was placed in front of him. Yang Cheng said, "Brother Zhiyuan, last time I offended you with a blog post, and later learned that Brother Zhiyuan had good intentions. I really admire you, but I heard that your assets are not rich, so I'm afraid you can't properly arrange him..."
Lin Su answered, "Brother Yang, Gao Yi, could it be that these silvers are all here to help Mr. Lin, so I will accept them bluntly."
Yang Cheng choked when he answered these words, and when Lin Su stood up, he quickly stopped him and said, "No, this silver is used to redeem Qingxi's contract of sale. You spent 300 taels, and I'll give you 1000 taels. Leave it to me to take care of him, I will not touch him, brother Lin please rest assured."
Lin Su smiled: "Since you won't touch him, isn't it the same wherever you put it?"
Yang Cheng was stunned, and waved his hands to let the servants back out, saying: "Smart people don't speak in secret, since you know what I'm thinking, but you're just a little guy who doesn't have any thoughts, why bother to make things difficult for our Yang family? .”
If there is no task delivered by the system, such things are so common in this era, Lin Su would not care about them at all, let alone pay attention to them, but since he knew, he redeemed people when he saw them, and the tasks must be completed.
"It's not that I am in trouble with your Yang family. If I take someone to the Shangshufu, at least I will give you 3000 taels of silver." Lin Su said with emotion, "I can still get a favor from the Shangshufu, no matter how I compare it to Brother Yang. The value of coming is great, how can it be called embarrassing?"
When Yang Cheng got along with him before, he never felt that he was so sharp and sharp. Since he can't be soft, he can only be tough.
Yang Cheng sat down beside him and said: "But this time we are in Qinghe Mansion, and my Yang family is on good terms with the magistrate, it's up to you whether you can go out of this area or not, don't toast or eat fine wine!"
Looking at his appearance, Lin Su didn't feel panicked, but sat aside with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Bowen is so decent, just say what you want, and he's really twitchy."
Yang Cheng frowned: "Are you willing to give in?"
"I don't want to." Lin Su directly refused.
Yang Cheng's expression was really ugly this time, he felt as if he was being played by this person in front of him: "Lin Su, although my Yang family is only one level higher than your father's, but in the future I will become an official in the court, you really Do you want the entire Lin family to eat and walk around?"
"Young master, young master, you hit it!!!"
Someone shouted outside, directly making the whole restaurant lively.
"Who won?!"
"Someone in my Qinghe Mansion has also been hit. It's a good thing!"
"It looks like a servant of the Yang family. How many places did you win?"
"A total of 90 candidates were selected, and our young master is No. [-] six."
"Good!!! You are indeed a talented person from Qinghe Mansion."
"There are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in places like the capital, and it is outstanding to get 96 places. The key is to look at the palace examination."
"Congratulations!"
There was a lot of congratulations in the restaurant, the young man announced and entered the private room, and several people followed behind him to congratulate Yang Cheng.
"Successful for the first time, Young Master Yang is really extraordinary."
"Don't stop in the future
She had never heard such a blunt statement that she could not refute. If someone said this, the reputation of the Lin family would be completely ruined. Treating the son-in-law harshly is enough for those royal officials to read countless books.
"Of course my son knows about it," Lin Su said with a respectful smile, "so I just wanted to choose a book boy who can read and write, and my father is kind, so naturally he wouldn't tell me about it."
Lin Su's beard twitched, he squeezed the armrest of the chair, and said, "But where did you go? And who did you buy? Isn't it a place where scholars can go? If you are upright, why don't you bring him back?" ? If your reputation spreads, can you take into account your father's and my reputation? Can you take into account our Lin family's reputation, being a father is kind, but have you ever been filial?"
This hat can be enough for Lin Su to drink a pot. The saying that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather is really appropriate.
"If the son really wanted to flirt with men, he should not come home at night. I don't know who distorted the facts in front of his father and alienated our father and son. It is really ulterior motives," Lin Su saluted. A servant who chews on his master's tongue should be dragged out and killed."
"No, you can't!" The beautiful woman stopped directly, and she couldn't help but squeeze the veil tightly when she met Lin Su's meaningful eyes, "They just care about your reputation in Zhiyuan. His official career is not good, and how can those lowly people know any serious characters? If you think the book boy is not good, your father will naturally choose a better one for you. Those trashy ones should be sold as soon as possible."
Lin Su had quite a few bookboys, if he had to choose again and go back and forth, people would only think that the aunt is a virtuous mother and the aunt is difficult to take care of.
Lin Su sighed, and the beautiful woman just sat upright and stared at him, afraid that something would happen to him.
But Lin Su was really thinking about Yao Mozi: "Forget it, I won't hide it from my father. When Zhiyuan was young and lost at the Lantern Festival, it was my school boy's parents who helped me. Now I can be with you." The father is kind and the son is filial, lest the father lose his wife and son and be said to be a benefactor. The son knew that the benefactor was in distress and was sold into a place like a servant. How could he bear to continue to be tortured, so he stretched out his hand For helping me, the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, not to mention the kindness of saving a life. Such a great kindness, even if he is in trouble for a while, others can say that he is of low birth. My Lin family knows how to repay the kindness. How can I humiliate my benefactor like this , if it gets out, wouldn't it make people laugh at my Lin family for being ungrateful."
Wear a high hat, and he will too.
The beautiful woman froze on the spot: "Mother didn't know about this incident, Zhiyuan, you didn't make it clear earlier."
Lin Su ignored her, but looked at Father Lin: "Father said that I would not bring him back. The son was not because of a guilty conscience, but because he was afraid that he would really be criticized by others. In order to repay his kindness, he gave him a courtyard and a To earn a living, use the power of the father to prevent him from being disturbed by others, please learn from the father."
"I'll let you tell the good and the bad." Lin Ju sighed, "Is he really just a servant, not a servant?"
"Father, you can send someone to investigate. The Cui Nong Pavilion has the word Qing Tang on it." Lin Su said respectfully.
He made a strong promise, and Lin Ju didn't want to make trouble anymore: "Forget it, it's late at night, you go back first, and check it out later, if you have half a lie..."
"That son is unfilial, and the father can remove his son from the family tree if he wants." Lin Su said, looking directly at him.
Lin Su waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back."
The hearts of the two people in the chattering room hurt. The beautiful woman wanted to say something, but she had a stepmother and her stepfather's hat was off, which made it difficult for her to speak for a while, while Lin Ju kept sighing. , the atmosphere was quite stagnant.
Instead, Lin Su went into his small courtyard, someone brought hot water, and fell asleep comfortably after washing.
After staying in the tribute courtyard for a few days, he has to redeem people non-stop, and has to machine gun with his stepfather and stepmother. Even he has to rest.
This sleep was comfortable, but Lin Su was woken up by the sound of talking outside when the rooster crowed.
"The eldest young master came back yesterday and played a big show of prestige, which choked the master and his wife so much that he couldn't speak."
"This trip to Beijing is different. I don't know if I can pass the exam. I'll put on an official air first."
"Who makes someone a scholar, it's impossible to say."
"Since you know you can't say anything, you can still gossip here," Lin Su said, opening the window and looking at the people who were talking, "Here to sow discord between my father and son. I really need to fight. Come, hit!"
If he only offended the young master, he might not be beaten, but if he offended the master, the beating would be well deserved.
Lin Su beat people with his front foot, and let his reputation as a Diao Nu out with his back foot. Reputation is such a thing that people can't help spreading rumors.
"Madam, you have to decide for us, that young master is too cruel."
"It's really unkind to fight at will."
"We have also worked for the Lin family all our lives, how can we treat them like this."
"..."
There was a lot of crying, and the stepmother was also in trouble. She had just heard that someone had been beaten, and then she heard the rumors outside. If Lin Su were to make trouble again at this time, she might really end up letting the eldest son be treated harshly. The charges come down.
She figured it out, that guy was as tolerant as a sheep before, but now his true nature is revealed, he is clearly a wolf, the kind that hurts when he bites someone.
"Be patient for now, he is the eldest son of the master, how can I suffer the crime." The step-wife comforted me.
Lin Su was really too lazy to go back and forth with a woman. Instead of shooting a machine gun there, it would be better to just draw the bottom of the fire.
While the stepwife was still enduring the turmoil for the time being, rumors began to circulate that the Lin family had no children and that the concubine had nothing but the stepwife's hand. , and even the matter of sending some avoidance soup to the concubine's room was found out.
There was a big quarrel for three days, and a small quarrel for two days, forcing the whole Qinghe Mansion to watch the excitement.
"It turns out that her previous virtuousness and generosity were just pretending."
"I just said how could the step-wife be nice to the dead wife's children, it's hypocritical."
"Envy is one of the seven deadly sins."
"..."
Rumors abound, but Lin Su's place is much more relaxed, and he can go to the streets to learn about the rules and regulations of this world.
Qinghe Mansion is not far from the capital, and within a few days, all the candidates who rushed to take the exam had returned. Some people invited Lin Su to sit in a teahouse and tavern to talk about romance, knowledge, and gossip in the market.
It's not that men don't have the heart to gossip, it's just that those gossips can't be discussed in front of women.
"Have you heard, Yang Bowen seems to have fallen in love with someone in Beijing at first sight." The gentle scholar held his folding fan and whispered to Lin Su, "He is the most talented man in Qinghe Mansion, but he is also a hero and a sad beauty."
"Brother Zhiyuan has always been closer to Brother Bowen, do you know which girl he is yearning for?" Another person asked.
"I said that anyone will make the girl's reputation not so good." Lin Su didn't bother to get involved in Yang Cheng's affairs. People don't offend me, I don't offend anyone, and the protagonist is no different from ordinary people.
"Brother Zhiyuan is really boring, he is still such an old pedant, but I heard that you went to the Cui Nong Hall and redeemed someone to come out, I didn't expect you to have such a refined interest." Someone joked.
Lin Su said with a smile: "Brother Luli misunderstood, but the child's parents had saved my life. When my benefactor's son was in trouble, how could I stand idly by and not help? Besides, the child is just a servant, without you telling me so nasty."
Rumors are true or false, it depends on what you say and how you do it, a wrong sentence may destroy yourself, but based on kindness, no one can say that Lin Su is wrong, only that he knows the kindness Illustrated.
"So there is such a reason, brother Zhiyuan, Gao Yi, I worship you." Those people saluted one after another.
Lin Su smiled without saying a word, accepting it completely.
At this time, the conversation turned around, some people believed it, but some people didn't believe it. When Yang Cheng was living in the mansion and painting, someone came to visit him, in order to support each other in the future, which also referred to Lin Su's move.
"He just likes those things, and deliberately made up stories. One sold it to a brothel, and his parents and brothers are unknown, so I can't help him to say it." The man was quite disdainful.
Yang Bowen didn't stop painting, but just said: "A gentleman doesn't speak behind his back, so what he says may not be true."
So what if you really like men?If there is a person who is unparalleled in the world, even a man will feel admiration for him.
It's just that the status gap is there, and it is doomed to fail in this life.
"I don't know if Brother Bowen is staying in the mansion. I have found out clearly that the redeemed man is not a servant, but an unnamed Qing servant named Qingxi." The man snorted, "That bustard Dad even said that people are carried out after being asleep, you really think he Lin Zhiyuan is such a good person, and he is so kind to save his life, it's really thanks to him that he said it."
"If that's the case, he is also a bold person." Yang Cheng looked at the person in the painting, fanned it lightly with a fan and said, "I think that young man is also very good-looking."
"It's a thing that is painted and painted, who knows." The man continued, "But it is said that the young man looks like a man, and Brother Yuman said it after he came back from Beijing. Yi, you also know that brother Yuman has always been good at the way of Longyang, and it is normal to have been to the Guanguan, so what he said is probably close to ten."
"What did you say?!" Yang Cheng calmed down before changing his mind, looked at him excitedly, and almost tore off the painting in his hand, "Who do you think you look like?"
"Son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, what's the matter? It seems like seven or eight points," the man looked at Yang Cheng's excited expression, a little inexplicable, "Is there any problem?"
"It looks like seven or eight points..." Yang Cheng rolled up the scroll, walked back and forth a few steps, "I carried it out after I fell asleep, Lin Zhiyuan, could it be you too... But how could you humiliate him like this."
How can a young man compare to that man in case.
Seeing him muttering, the man didn't understand, so he said, "What humiliation?"
"Qi Qingyi, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has outstanding literary talents, and he is an example of scholars in the world," Yang Cheng said, "Lin Zhiyuan has seen him before, and presumably he admired him but couldn't get it, so he found a substitute, which is clearly a humiliation."
The man also stood up: "Since this is the case, if Qi Qingyi finds out, I'm afraid Lin Su will be too hungry and walk away."
"No," Yang Cheng subconsciously refused, "If you let him know, it will only dirty his eyes and ears. Let's talk to Brother Zhiyuan about this matter. Even if he is good at this, we shouldn't Humiliate that man."
That person was full of glory, and someone found a substitute to put him under him, and he was afraid that he would be angry.
Lin Su would go to the small courtyard to see Qing Tang when he had time, and changed the gauze from the small house, and wore ordinary linen clothes. His brows and eyes were still not covered, but the dusty aura around him was left behind. Childish and cute, really like a beautiful book boy.
Lin Su didn't come, and he didn't go out very much. The courtyard was really tidy as Lin Su said. The books and bedding were all dried, the tables, chairs and benches were scrubbed, and even the firewood pile in the kitchen was clean. Neatly.
When Lin Suchu bought the small courtyard, it was barely considered clean and tidy, but when he came back, he felt extremely comfortable walking, sitting and lying down. It took him less than half a cup of tea to sit down. Holding the pastry, a pair of eyes stared at him eagerly.
Because of working, his forehead was a little sweaty, and there were a few blisters on his slender and white fingers, but the smile on his face and the light in his eyes were not comparable to when they first met in the hall.
"Master Su, try this pastry, if it's not good, I'll change it." Qingtang looked at him with bright eyes.
Lin Su tasted the pastry and the tea. He seemed to be waiting for a compliment the whole time. If someone else was here, the pressure to be stared at would be too great. Lin Su stared at him expectantly and said: "It's very well done, but I don't like sweets, so it will be better if I put less sugar next time."
"Yes, Master Su." Qing Tang raised his eyebrows.
Under his expectant gaze, Lin Su drank tea and ate a lot of pastries. After giving himself enough face, he asked, "Have you ever practiced calligraphy in the past few days?"
Qingtang's face froze for a moment, he scratched his cheek lightly and said: "I have practiced it, but it's really hard to be elegant."
"Bring it and show it to me." Lin Su said.
Qing Tang carried a thick stack of paper over, and blushed slightly when handing it to Lin Su: "Qing Tang's handwriting is not as good as Master Su Wanyi."
The words that the young master just annotated on the storybook are better than those he had learned in the past. He had some confidence in his own words, after all, he also went to a private school, but he really wanted to throw them away.
Lin Su looked at the handwriting on the paper, and if he said it was bad, it wasn't particularly bad. Anyone who could read could read it clearly, but it was a little childish and not yet organized. If he could know so much, he might still have learned it in a private school when he was young. Well, although places like the Guanguan sometimes have to be accompanied by poetry reciting, but the poems they recite and what they do are not used by ordinary literati. I am afraid that what they learn more is how to serve guests well.
"It's a bit basic. If you compare with me right away, wouldn't it appear that my ten years of study have been in vain." Lin Su didn't condemn him. Everyone's experience is different, and there can't be a standard requirement.
When Qing Tang got along with him, he knew that he would not get angry easily, and he no longer had the initial anxiety, but the more he got along, the more he felt that the young master was very different from those sour Confucian scholars. At this moment, listening to what he said, she smiled embarrassedly. After a while, he said, "Young Master Su said so."
"If you want to learn characters, start with the most correct ones first, and then make yourself a whole." Lin Su said with a smile, "Don't worry."
He thought about the strokes of the fonts he learned at the beginning, and he practiced them bit by bit. He learned it first, and then learned other fonts, such as wild cursive, flying white, and thin gold, but it took a lot more time to learn than others.
Lin Su got up and spread out the paper. Qing Tang knew that he was going to write, so he sharpened the ink quickly.
The ink was black and full, and Lin Su swiped the pen on the paper, a word "Yong" appeared vividly on it, and every stroke was regular, like a golden hook and silver painting.
Qingtang blinked his eyes. He didn't understand the artistic conception of the words, but he also felt that the young master's writing was very good, much better than the words that he had marked out casually before.
"This character has the strokes of all fonts. If you can practice this character very well, the other characters will not be a big problem." Lin Su handed him the pen, "I've been here recently, and I'll bring you some Book, if you don’t know how, you can ask me.”
"Yes." Qing Tang looked at the word carefully as if he had found a treasure, and felt that the word was just like the young master himself.
With the majesty that a man should have, he stood upright, as if standing upright.
He was reluctant to draw on Lin Su's handwriting, so he put it aside, took a new page and copied it carefully, every time he wrote it, he felt that it was almost impossible to write like the young master.
He wrote seriously, and he was quiet. Lin Su felt much more comfortable staying here than in other places. He simply sat down at the table, took the paper and thought about those poems and essays, and wrote it on the paper.
In addition to copying, there is another way to describe in calligraphy. Qingtang can be a book boy for a while, but he cannot be a book boy for a lifetime. If one day he gets married and has children, he can also write letters for others, and he can also put them in good books. live.
Qing Tang wrote seriously, and after finishing writing a page, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Su, his beautiful eyes widened, and he said with admiration, "Master Su's writing is really good."
"In the future, you can draw on paper," Lin Su asked with a smile, "Have you ever gone out recently?"
"I went out once, and the paper at home is not enough." Qing Tang said honestly.
Lin Su kept his subordinates, and then asked again: "I think you have heard some rumors, are you not curious why I said you are kind to me?"
Qingtang smiled: "Young master has a reason for saying so. I am the young master's slave, so I don't ask if I shouldn't ask."
He actually heard a lot of rumors, some insulted the young master, and some praised him. People like them are not ashamed, and the young master also wanted to protect him.
"Then don't you wonder why I ransom you?" Lin Su looked up at him and said.
Qing Tang met his gaze, and his eyes drifted away uncomfortably: "I don't know, and I know that the young master has the truth of the young master, but it is inevitable that I also have curiosity in my heart. If the young master is willing to tell, Qing Tang will listen. If the young master If you don't want to say it, Qingtang won't ask."
He knew that it was hard to get a salary now, so he didn't dare to expect too much.
"Because you look like a person." Lin Su said frankly.
Qingtang was stunned for a moment, and asked: "...Is it the young master's favorite person?"
"Of course not." Lin Su laughed, "Although he looks like you eight times in birth, he has both talent and appearance, but he is not the person I like. Do you know who that person is?"
Qing Tang guessed: "I guess only the high-ranking people are qualified to study."
"He is from the capital." Lin Su said, "Qi Qingyi, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."
When Lin Su was going to Beijing in the future, it was inevitable that he would meet Qi Qingyi. This kind of thing should be made clear earlier, lest the child feel inferior or feel like a substitute.
"Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials..." The biggest official Qing Tang has ever seen in his life is the county magistrate. He is wearing a mighty official uniform and sits in the hall. I have heard of that kind of Beijing official, but in the mouth of the bustard, such a person is an official of the sky, and there is an existence that the county magistrate can't catch up with.
I don't know whether it is lucky or unlucky to be similar to his son.
Scholars are ashamed of them. If they know that he is very similar to the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, they will probably cause a lot of trouble.
"How could I be so similar to him?" Qing Tang was a little anxious, "If this is the case, wouldn't it cause trouble for the young master?"
"You are my book boy now, not someone in the hall. No matter how powerful Qi Qingyi is, there is no way that there will be no one like him in the world." Lin Su said, "We may leave here for the capital in a few days. It may happen again in the future, the purpose of my telling you this is that no matter who you look like, you don’t have to worry too much, just be yourself.”
"Yes." Qingtang responded obediently, and asked in a bold voice, "Since Young Master Su doesn't like him, nor does he have any kindness to my family, why does he want to redeem me for this trouble?"
"Although I have no intention of Qi Qingyi, someone is interested in him." Lin Su smiled, "Just treat me as an outburst of kindness."
"The young master obviously can't think of a reason." Qing Tang didn't see him getting angry when he said this, and his smile became brighter, "But the young master is a benefactor, and the young master doesn't want to say it, so Qing Tang waits for the young master to say it later .”
Lin Su responded.
06 Reminder: [Host, raising a child is risky, it doesn’t mean that you are completely safe if you don’t become a adoptive father. 】
This is the experience gained from the host, the more innocent and cute it looks, the more likely it is dark and dark.
[Thinking too much. 】Lin Su tried his best to bring the system back to the normal path, and don't worry about it.
06 is still very worried, after all, his uncle once had such confidence.
Lin Su could only comfort and said: [Don't worry, I have cheats and he doesn't. 】
06, as an existence like a cheat, finally found a little sense of need: [Host, I will definitely work hard. 】
[Well, I believe you. ] Lin Su laughed.
He is still very accurate in seeing people, and he can still tell whether a person is pretending or really innocent.
Wei Yuan in the previous world also had the ability to distinguish, but he was disturbed by emotions and was blinded by being in one of them. If he was facing other people, he would not be as tolerant and relaxed as he was with him.
But Lin Su didn't have this trouble, he wouldn't be blinded by emotion.
Lin Su didn't stay here for too long, he got up and left after writing the copybook, but he heard that someone came to visit when he arrived at the Lin Mansion.
"Who is it?" Lin Su asked.
"Say it's the young master of Yang Tongzhi's family." The servant dared not neglect the person who came out of the official's family.
Yang Cheng?
He received the news really fast. When Lin Su entered the main house, Father Lin was accompanying the guests. His face was full of smiles. It didn't look like he was entertaining the guests, but rather like Yang Cheng was his own son.
Lin Su coughed when he entered, and first saluted Father Lin with a three-point smile: "Father, the child is back."
He turned around and looked at Yang Cheng who was at the side again and said with a smile: "Brother Bowen came to the door, why didn't you let me know in advance, if I come back later, brother Bowen will have to wait."
Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Yang Cheng had a bad expression when he saw him, but at this moment he couldn't directly criticize him, but Father Lin slapped the table and said, "You did a good job!"
"I don't know what Zhiyuan did to make father so angry?" Lin Su was very puzzled.
"Kneel down!" Father Lin scolded directly.
Lin Su narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said with a smile: "If the father doesn't explain the reason, the child will not know what's wrong, and won't kneel."
"You still have the face to say, what kind of boy did you redeem? Shutong, you are so good at fabricating things, you have thrown your scholar's dignity into the dog's belly!" Father Lin threw the teacup angrily. After seeing Lin Su avoiding him, he was even more angry, "If it weren't for Bo Wen's talk today, I wouldn't know that you went to the capital to learn some nonsense things, and how dare you think about Master Shangshu's son?" , I think you are tired of living!"
Although he was angry at what he said, he made it clear. Lin Su understood, smiled and looked at Yang Cheng and said, "Brother Bowen is so quick with a woman's tongue?"
Yang Cheng's expression changed.
"Lin Su!" Father Lin scolded.
"Father, if Zhiyuan said that he is a lifesaver, he is a lifesaver." Lin Su saluted respectfully, "The son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is indeed outstanding, so what's wrong with Zhiyuan not wanting someone similar to him to fall into that kind of place? Brother Bowen knows If they are similar, they rush to the door non-stop, I don't know who has unreasonable thoughts about Mr. Shangshu, but they can't ask for it!"
Yang Bowen's face was green and pale, and he said in a cold voice: "Brother Zhiyuan, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If you talk nonsense and slander my reputation, this matter can't just end like this."
Lin Su laughed: "Brother Bowen, why are you so anxious? Did I say it was you? How dare you let Mr. Shangshu know that you are lusting after him if you admit it so quickly?"
As soon as Lin Su said this, everyone present looked at Yang Cheng who was at the side.
Lin Su did not mention his name, but Yang Cheng directly retorted, instead voluntarily admitting it.Yang Cheng's face was ugly, and the faces of the people who came with him were equally grim, but more complex.
"Can you guarantee that you have no affection for Wen Jue?" Yang Bowen asked through gritted teeth.
Lin Su stretched out his hand and said directly: "I, Lin Zhiyuan, swear by my ancestors and my whole family. If I have any affection for Qi Wenjue, my family will be ruined and my reputation will be ruined. Brother Bowen, I swear, do you dare to swear?"
His oath was really serious, even Father Lin couldn't stop him, but he seemed extraordinarily frank. On the other hand, Yang Cheng was on the verge of riding a tiger, and his face was so ugly that he almost dripped ink.
He didn't dare, and couldn't swear, because he was really interested in Wen Jue.
But Lin Su dared to swear such a poisonous oath, could it be that he really disliked Wenjue, but why did he want to redeem someone similar to that person?
"You redeemed that person really to repay your kindness?" Yang Cheng asked.
Lin Su said, "Naturally, although I have no intentions, there is no guarantee that others will be interested in him. I beg Allah not to find a substitute. I can only make such a bad plan. Brother Bowen probably doesn't care."
As soon as he said this, even Yang Bowen's way to the dignitary was blocked.
"Where did you put him?" Yang Cheng was really unwilling to put him in someone else's place, how could it be safe just relying on Lin Su's words?
Lin Su didn't answer, but said directly: "Brother Bowen didn't seem to swear just now."
Yang Cheng frowned: "I said no, why is brother Zhiyuan so aggressive?"
Father Lin hadn't spoken since just now, but now he said: "Nephew Yang Xian, my son has already said what he should have said, and he has also taken off the hat that should not be worn. He has good intentions, but if you insist If we want to pour dirty water on our Lin family, it will not be good for the harmony of the two families."
Although it is said that the first-level official crushes people to death, they are both officials, and there is no such thing as coming to the door to bully others.
Yang Cheng was so angry that his liver hurt, but he could only swallow the breath forcefully: "This junior is reckless, but I never thought that brother Zhiyuan was out of kindness."
"They are all scholars, who would have a rotten heart and lungs? Isn't it true that all the books have been read into the dog's stomach." Lin Su said to himself, abruptly making the two who were asked by Xingshi very restless.
"Shut up!" Father Lin frowned and scolded, then turned to Yang Cheng and the two, "There is something going on in the house today, so I won't keep the two of you for dinner."
The two were welcomed in, but at this moment they were in a state of embarrassment as if they had been kicked out. Only Father Lin and Lin Su were left in the room. Father Lin took a deep breath and said, "Are you really interested in that person?"
Lin Su said, "Father, do you want me to swear again?"
"No need!" Father Lin's head was throbbing with pain, and he really didn't want to offend his ancestors again, "If you didn't mean it, then you did the right thing. You can't offend the son of the Shangshu Mansion, as long as you look like him. You can't be humiliated easily, the Yang family's matter is too bold and reckless, if it spreads to the middle of the capital, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it, but you don't need to be afraid of him."
"Thank you father for protecting the child, the father is kind, the child is so grateful, it's hard to describe." Lin Su's high hat was put on his head.
Father Lin looked at him inexplicably: "Stop it! This is for the Lin family. You bring that man to the Lin family and take care of him. Don't be a book boy. This matter is not so easy to settle. You will cause trouble every day." , study hard when you have nothing to do, don’t go out to hang out, do you really think you will pass the exam? As a father, he also passed the exam four or five times.”
"Father, Qingtang won't cause gossip when he is outside, and if he really welcomes him into the mansion, he will make people think that the baby is hidden in a golden house." Lin Su said respectfully.
Yuan has family members, and although he has misbehavior and unequal servings of water in a bowl of water, he can't let go easily.
In this era, filial piety is also a criterion for evaluating officials. If you lose your filial piety, you will inevitably be read by the doctor of the imperial censor, which will affect your official fortune. Therefore, the relationship with these two elders is not just a matter of words, unless you can They couldn't get up in one breath.
"That's all, you can handle it yourself. If you don't handle it well, my father won't cover it up for you." Father Lin waved his hand and said, "Go back."
Although he was impatient with Lin Su, he was very displeased with Yang Cheng. In the past, he seemed to be polite and respectful, but he didn't expect him to be so ambiguous.
Just like what Lin Su said, if this matter spreads to Beijing, it would be good for the Yang family to fail. Although being an official in the same field would not make things worse, he would not be afraid if the Yang family made trouble.
Father Lin wanted to protect his family, so naturally he raised a few words when working with Father Yang, but unfortunately it didn't go well.
Yang Wenyuan said solemnly: "You should also educate your son well. You don't have to lose your dignity as a scholar. Zhiyuan has good intentions, but Bowen has bad intentions? Since you want to please Jingli, you don't have to act obediently in front of me. gone."
Naturally, the people below could only listen to what the superiors were talking about. Father Lin hesitated a few times, but he sighed and left without saying anything.
The Yang family is superior to the Lin family, and his son is the most promising high school student in Qinghe Mansion. If Yang Cheng re-enters the imperial court and becomes an official, his Lin family is nothing.
Lin's father knew the truth, and Yang Cheng knew it too, as long as he didn't know that there were similar people in this world, now that he knew it, his heart was burning like a fire, and he couldn't sleep at night.
He knew that Lin Su had left him outside, but it was not appropriate to go looking for this matter with great fanfare, otherwise it would cause a mess all over the place, and even the matter of going to the Lin's house earlier caused his father to reprimand him.
It didn't stop until he explained that he wouldn't really do Longyang's move.
If he really found someone, he would naturally not do that and insult that person in Jingzhong, replacing him with a young man would really be a humiliation, he just wanted to put a similar one in front of him and think about others.
And when he thought of what Lin Su might do to that person, he became very anxious.
"It's just a boy, if you can't be hard, you can buy it softly, just give me some money to buy it." Someone suggested to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng felt that this move was feasible, but the people he sent didn't even enter the Lin mansion, and the servants only said that Lin Su was fined to stay out of the house, which was unbearable.
If Lin Su couldn't come out, he couldn't be with that person. Yang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, but he felt that he missed him more and more. Every time he thought about the scene of Gongyuan coming out, he felt that no one could compare to that person.
If you can be an official in the same court in the future, and you can make an appointment or two, you will live up to this life.
It was already twenty days later when Lin Su came out again, and just after he was released from confinement, the members of the Yang family rushed to the door to invite him.
Lin Su didn't refuse, but as soon as he arrived at the restaurant, a thousand taels of silver was placed in front of him. Yang Cheng said, "Brother Zhiyuan, last time I offended you with a blog post, and later learned that Brother Zhiyuan had good intentions. I really admire you, but I heard that your assets are not rich, so I'm afraid you can't properly arrange him..."
Lin Su answered, "Brother Yang, Gao Yi, could it be that these silvers are all here to help Mr. Lin, so I will accept them bluntly."
Yang Cheng choked when he answered these words, and when Lin Su stood up, he quickly stopped him and said, "No, this silver is used to redeem Qingxi's contract of sale. You spent 300 taels, and I'll give you 1000 taels. Leave it to me to take care of him, I will not touch him, brother Lin please rest assured."
Lin Su smiled: "Since you won't touch him, isn't it the same wherever you put it?"
Yang Cheng was stunned, and waved his hands to let the servants back out, saying: "Smart people don't speak in secret, since you know what I'm thinking, but you're just a little guy who doesn't have any thoughts, why bother to make things difficult for our Yang family? .”
If there is no task delivered by the system, such things are so common in this era, Lin Su would not care about them at all, let alone pay attention to them, but since he knew, he redeemed people when he saw them, and the tasks must be completed.
"It's not that I am in trouble with your Yang family. If I take someone to the Shangshufu, at least I will give you 3000 taels of silver." Lin Su said with emotion, "I can still get a favor from the Shangshufu, no matter how I compare it to Brother Yang. The value of coming is great, how can it be called embarrassing?"
When Yang Cheng got along with him before, he never felt that he was so sharp and sharp. Since he can't be soft, he can only be tough.
Yang Cheng sat down beside him and said: "But this time we are in Qinghe Mansion, and my Yang family is on good terms with the magistrate, it's up to you whether you can go out of this area or not, don't toast or eat fine wine!"
Looking at his appearance, Lin Su didn't feel panicked, but sat aside with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Bowen is so decent, just say what you want, and he's really twitchy."
Yang Cheng frowned: "Are you willing to give in?"
"I don't want to." Lin Su directly refused.
Yang Cheng's expression was really ugly this time, he felt as if he was being played by this person in front of him: "Lin Su, although my Yang family is only one level higher than your father's, but in the future I will become an official in the court, you really Do you want the entire Lin family to eat and walk around?"
"Young master, young master, you hit it!!!"
Someone shouted outside, directly making the whole restaurant lively.
"Who won?!"
"Someone in my Qinghe Mansion has also been hit. It's a good thing!"
"It looks like a servant of the Yang family. How many places did you win?"
"A total of 90 candidates were selected, and our young master is No. [-] six."
"Good!!! You are indeed a talented person from Qinghe Mansion."
"There are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in places like the capital, and it is outstanding to get 96 places. The key is to look at the palace examination."
"Congratulations!"
There was a lot of congratulations in the restaurant, the young man announced and entered the private room, and several people followed behind him to congratulate Yang Cheng.
"Successful for the first time, Young Master Yang is really extraordinary."
"Don't stop in the future
