Approach the second young master

The results of the palace examination have been announced. The champion is Lin Qi, the second place is a man named Sun Yuchen, and the candidate is Zhao Yunze.

The situation is reversed from that of the parents.

However, this kind of achievement is very good for everyone. Even if Mr. Zhao is a little disappointed, compared with other second-generation officials, he is very excited, and he is more and more worried about his second son Tanhua. happy.

Soon, all the Jinshi were arranged, and Lin Qi also became a scholar of the Hanlin Academy as usual.As for Sun Yuchen and Zhao Yunze, they were both in the Imperial Academy and became editors.

Due to his status, Lin Qi moved out of Zhao's house a few days before taking office, and rented a place in the capital.Since Zhao Yunze attended a gathering of friends in the capital, he was not able to send Lin Qi off.But Lin Qi also felt that this kind of thing didn't matter, and moving house was not a big deal.

Lin Qixin's address is no better than that of the Zhao family. The Zhao family is the mansion of a wealthy family. He just became an official and did not have much money. It is not easy to rent such a house.

After setting things down, Lin Qi heard a knock on the door.When he opened the door, he saw a young man, but he didn't recognize him.

"You are……"

"Hi son, I'm Sun Yuchen."

Lin Qi had heard about Sun Yuchen, the second place in the imperial examination.

"Hi, may I ask why Mr. Sun is here..."

"I heard that Mr. Lin has moved his residence, so come to visit."

"Sun Gongzi, please come in and have a cup of rough tea."

Speaking of Lin Qi, he led people in.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

"Did Mr. Sun come here on foot?"

"To be honest, my house is on this street."

"Oh? That's really a coincidence."

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Qi probably learned something about Sun Yuchen.

Sun Yuchen and Lin Qi are different from Zhao Yunze. They did not come from rich and scholarly families, but are the sons of ordinary workers with poor backgrounds.But despite this, his talent and learning are far superior to others, even if the ranking is not as good as Lin Qi, a large part of this result is due to the emperor's personal preference, and there is no first place in literature, so it is difficult to argue who is better.

Through Sun Yuchen, Lin Qi also gradually understood the party trends of this year's Jinshi—there was a party just after passing the exam. Sure enough, people always like to be in groups.

"Now there are two parties, one is headed by Zhao Yunze, and the other is headed by another party named Feng Nan. In fact, it is not accurate enough to say that the party is Jinshi. Behind Zhao Yunze is the current important minister in the court. And Feng Nan's background, no one knows."

"Which party does Brother Sun belong to?"

"Brother Lin, you must know Zhao Yunze better, but no matter what he is, the people behind him always spend their days and nights without doing their jobs. I really can't stand it."

"Where's Feng Nan?"

"Feng Nan has a lot of conspiracies and tricks. He is in the top three this year, and he used some opportunistic methods to get in. I don't know what his back means, so I dare not join the gang easily."

"What does Brother Sun mean?"

"Brother Lin, will you join Zhao Yunze?"

Lin Qi thought for a while and said, "No."

Although he has a good relationship with Zhao Yunze, it doesn't mean that he can be in the same political party as him.As far as he could see, Zhao Yunze was really not doing his job right now, what Lin Qi wanted was to restore the Lin family business, and follow Zhao Yunze without knowing the year of the monkey.

"I also think that Lin Brothers will choose this way. So I think we might as well be our own school."

"You speak lightly, but it's not easy to do."

"Of course, we have no background, but we have a future. Unless Zhao Yunze acted deliberately, there will be no good results. Feng Nan, I think Brother Lin is not willing to participate, so it's better to form a group of our own and do what we want. Do it, and occasionally support and take care of it."

"can."

"It's getting late, I'll take my leave first."

"Brother Sun, do you want to stay and have dinner together?"

Lin Qi looked up at Sun Yuchen.

Sun Yuchen looked back for a moment, and said: "My father has gone to work, and now there is no one at home, so that's fine."

So they stayed.

Lin Qi took out another jug ​​of wine and opened it.

"Brother Lin drinking?"

"Ah."

"Coincidentally, I also love wine. This wine, ah, good wine!"

Both Sun Yuchen and Lin Qi hold alcohol very well. After drinking for a long time, neither of them became drunk. However, the two of them also know their alcohol holding capacity very well, and they don't take a glass when they know that they may get drunk if they drink any more.

There was a person standing outside the door, watching the two people in the room drinking happily, feeling a little sad in his heart for some reason.

He climbed over the wall and went out again, left his things at the door, and returned home alone.

Zhao Yunze had never felt such a sense of loss.

Even though it was impossible to pursue Qingyuan before, he still had someone he could hate, but now it feels very strange.

A friend has made a new friend, and he should be happy for him, but I always feel unhappy...

After changing hands, Zhao Yunze entered the brothel.

He also didn't know why, as if he wanted to attract someone's attention, he liked to run to the brothel.But in fact, looking at the appearance of the brothel woman, he has no energy at all.

"Second young master is here? Ah, please come in. Are you listening to music today or..."

"Find someone to wait in the room."

"Alright! Quickly, call Qin Yu!"

Qin Yu is the number one and the prettiest in Ruoqin Courtyard, and she is very familiar with such things as serving.

But this second young master...

Not active at all, just looking at her.

As if she was an actor.

After tossing like this for a while, Zhao Yunze waved his hand suddenly: "Forget it, you can go out."

Qin Yu looked at Zhao Yunze with complicated eyes, but still got up slowly.

"I'll pay the money, you don't have to worry."

Qin Yu nodded and left the room.

She didn't know this young master very well, but she didn't intend to understand. Knowing too much about these people would cause trouble.

Sun Yuchen stayed at Lin Qi's place at night.Although the house is small, there is a vacant guest room.Sun Yuchen was a little dizzy from drinking, and it was inconvenient to go home again, so he simply stayed.

After Lin Qi helped Sun Yuchen clean up the room, he went back to sleep directly, and didn't see anything at the door.He didn't find something at the door until he got up the next day.

Open the package, it's ink.

Mo is indeed a good gift for scholars. Mo Linqi has heard of it, but he really can't afford it with his ability. He is very happy that someone bought it for him.

But who sent it?Will there be fraud?Thinking of this, Lin Qi put the ink back again.

Yesterday Zhao Yunze wanted to chat with Lin Qi and give him a gift, so he didn't leave his name to write a letter. Unfortunately, Sun Yuchen was there, so he only left ink.Now it is normal for Lin Qi not to know who sent it.

"What's the matter, Brother Lin?"

"look."

"Oh?" Sun Yuchen came over and saw Lin Qi holding a package in his hand, which contained a piece of fine ink.He has heard of this kind of ink, but he has never seen it from a poor family.

"Someone sent it?"

"I don't know, I saw it in the morning."

"Then... how are you going to deal with it?"

"What do you think, Brother Sun?"

"I don't know who gave it away, so it feels inappropriate to accept it like this. Brother Lin can choose to put it back to observe and observe or not to accept it. If the other party wants something, he should show up."

"But what should I do if I don't want to?"

"I'll hide here, and if that person shows up, I'll try my best to help you."

So Lin Qi took Mo carefully and waited to send him off, but he couldn't wait no matter what.

The days passed day by day, and soon it was time to go to the Imperial Academy to take office.Because the ink sender didn't show up, Sun Yuchen was still with Lin Qi all the time, and he went to the Hanlin Academy with Lin Qi on the day he took office.

After going through all the ceremonies and cutscenes, Lin Qi and the others finally had a moment of rest.Sun Yuchen took the initiative to make friends with other Jinshi, and Lin Qi sat down and rested alone.Zhao Yunze had already forgotten about sending ink, and did not talk about it.

"I don't know how to call this same year?" Zhao Yunze smiled and walked in front of Sun Yuchen.

Zhao Yunze is Tanhua and the second young master of the Zhao family. Even Sun Yuchen doesn't like him very much, but he doesn't hate him anyway. It is necessary to get to know him properly.

"I'm Sun Yuchen."

"Hello, Brother Sun, my name is Zhao Yunze, I will give my colleagues advice in the future."

"Hello."

Zhao Yunze looked at Sun Yuchen in front of him, and recognized him as the person who drank with Lin Qi two days ago. After two days of precipitation and calmness, he felt that he was really embarrassed before, because his friends made other friends. happy.In fact, he has also heard about this Sun Yuchen. Sun Yuchen is a good Jinshi with his own style, which should be very helpful for Lin Qi to restore the Lin family.

What Zhao Yunze wanted to do had no common interests with them for the time being, so it was better not to join forces, so after Zhao Yunze said hello, he stopped talking to Sun Yuchen and went to find someone else.

There are many people who take the initiative to make friends with Lin Qi, but because Lin Qi is a little shy and seldom talks, so he shows a feeling of aloofness.But most of the people who take the initiative to make friends with are not thin-skinned. After all, Lin Qi didn't directly shake his face, so he can still communicate if he is careful.

After a short rest, everyone went to work at their posts.

At noon, Sun Yuchen found Lin Qi to chat with after dinner.

"Brother Lin has been in Zhao's residence for a long time, should he know Miss Tang Fen Tang?"

Lin Qi paused when he heard the name, and said, "I've seen it once, but I'm not familiar with it."

"This Ms. Tang's story with Zhao Yunze was known throughout the capital, and they broke up for some reason. It's probably because the children couldn't get along with each other."

Lin Qi knew this paragraph very well, but there was no need to tell Sun Yuchen about it.

"I heard that Zhao Yunze wasn't that absurd in the first place, he was also an honest scholar, and since we broke up, he started going to brothels every day."

Lin Qi had heard of this too, but he didn't believe it all. After all, he had been with Zhao Yunze for so long, and he really didn't think Zhao Yunze was a womanizer.In fact, it is a seed of pure love, but it fails every time.

"Now, Miss Tang is getting married too."

"Oh?" So the focus is here, "With whom?"

"It's not clear, but it must be right."

"Ah."

"They should be getting married soon, anyway, Princess Qingyuan has also heard something about it."

"How about the princess?"

"We should wait until Zhao Yunze has passed this busy period and has a serious official position before getting married."
