The first daughter is not bad, the prince does not love

Chapter 356 Brother's Future

"Are you hating me?" Lin Xiaoqian asked, "How dare you, a daughter, hate your father?"

Lin Siran lowered her head slightly, showing a slightly sad smile, and said, "I dare not, because the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, three obedience and four virtues, those rules and moral standards that firmly suppress me, so I dare not. But I think even these moral standards Here, there is no way for a person to be grateful to his father who abandoned him, and to obey his words, right?"

"People change people's hearts, why doesn't father ask himself whether he has treated my daughter with sincerity?" Lin Siran raised his head again, his eyes slightly cold.

No matter how thick-skinned Lin Xiaoqian is, he still has no way to refute such words.

He just doesn't have any feelings for Lin Siran. After all, a daughter who hasn't seen each other for 15 years is no different from a stranger.

Maybe there was a little bit of guilt, but compared with his desire for power and status, the feeling of guilt is really insignificant and can be easily forgotten.

Especially when he realized that Lin Siran was not a daughter who could be easily controlled, it made him even more angry with Lin Siran.

Lin Xiaoqian shook off the chaotic thoughts in his head and the momentary guilt in his heart.

"You have to agree to this matter if you don't agree, it's up to you!" Lin Xiaoqian said coldly, "Unless you want your good brother's future to be ruined in your hands."

Lin Xiaoqian wrote down the words "Yan Shichu" on the paper.

Lin Siran's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Lin Xiaoqian in disbelief.

"The imperial examinations are over, and the results will be announced soon. You...what else do you want?" Lin Sizan never expected that the matter of Yan Shichu would become Lin Xiaoqian's weapon to threaten her.

Lin Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Do you know that the rankings will be released soon? You probably don't know what the chief examiner has to do with me, do you?"

Lin Siran swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and seemed to realize what it means to protect each other and form cliques for personal gain.

This year's chief examiner, Huang Yuanshan, had also worked in the household department, and he seemed to have a good personal relationship with Lin Xiaoqian.

"Brother Yuan Shan, I'm in the same discipline as me. I'm the No. [-] scholar, and he's the No. [-]. Based on our friendship for many years, it doesn't seem difficult for him to get rid of the name of a candidate who has no background and no backer?" Lin Xiaoqian smiled. , the smile is so vile.

Lin Siran clenched his fists tightly, and said with a sneer, "Father, you really opened my eyes. A dignified second-rank official, an official of the imperial court, dares to openly form a party for personal gain and cheat in scientific examinations. If His Majesty finds out about this , I don’t know how His Majesty feels about it?”

"Don't threaten me with Your Majesty. The talents and studies of this year's candidates are all good. There will be no problem in selecting the top three candidates. If Yan Shichu is not even qualified to participate in the imperial examination, how could His Majesty notice him? Are you going to sue His Majesty on the basis of my words, saying that Huang Yuanshan and I have colluded with each other for personal gain? We did not engage in personal gain or fraud, but we just think that Yan Shichu is not qualified to enter the imperial examination."

Lin Xiaoqian smiled, this is absolutely impossible to be used as an excuse, although Yan Shichu's talent and learning are very good, but whether to let him enter the palace examination is a matter of the examiner's whim.

"My elder brother has only learned from others, and he is a rare talent. Are you going to cut off his future for your own selfishness?" Lin Siran asked.

"This is officialdom, and it's never a child's trick. If he can't even bear this, he's really not suitable to be an official in the court." Lin Xiaoqian smiled without burden, "The court has no shortage of talents, what is lacking is People who know the times."

Lin Xiaoqian personally tore the paper with Yan Shichu's name into pieces.

"Actually, I wanted to mention Yan Shichu to Brother Yuan Shan for the sake of my fellow countrymen, and ask him to help support me. Now it seems that Yan Shichu is not someone worthy of support." Lin Xiaoqian continued to look at Lin Sichu. Ran Xiao, just to force her to submit.

Lin Siran's body was stiff, and his face was even more stiff.

"The ones who are really unsuitable to be officials in the court are the big rats like you, who only serve as officials for fame and fortune, but don't really care about the country, the country, or the common people. They only have their own self-interest in their eyes. Have you ever had a public heart? Let you It is really a misfortune for the country and the people for such a person to be a high-ranking official!"

Lin Siran despises Lin Xiaoqian deeply.

"You have also been a person who studied hard in the cold window, you have also been full of blood, you have had great ambitions, and you have thought about doing something for the country and the people, but in the end you became filthy and unrecognizable I look down on you, you heard me right, I really look down on you!"

At this moment, Lin Siran did not hesitate to use the harshest words to insult Lin Xiaoqian, but she didn't do that, she just said something sincere.

Lin Xiaoqian's virtue is not worthy, he will definitely have retribution, Lin Xiaoqian has an unshirkable responsibility for the collapse of the Lin family in his previous life, because he was not upright, he was not a clear official, he was only thinking of taking shortcuts, climbing high branches, and extravagantly hoping for fame and fortune that should not be expected.

Lin Xiaoqian was so bloodied by Lin Bianran's scolding that he forgot to refute for a while.

He just stared at Lin Siran tongue-tied, and suddenly felt that he was really a worthless guy. Thinking back to the moment when he was high-spirited and the top student in high school, and thinking about himself who was unscrupulous and self-seeking now, he couldn't hold his head up.

"You don't know anything, what do you know? Do you know how difficult it is for me to climb to where I am today? Do you know that my position is in jeopardy after King Fu collapsed, and I worry every day and night that I will fall into the abyss again? I was demoted that time, I was still young, and I could start over, but now I can't stand the second ordeal, so many up-and-comers are chasing me, I can't slack off, or the Lin family will be completely ruined!"

Lin Xiaoqian roared, he didn't really lose his conscience, he just cared too much about what he had now.

"I have struggled for more than ten years to get where I am today. How could I be willing to go back to the time when I was poor because of a mistake? What ideals and ambitions, what lofty aspirations, none of them are important. You are qualified to talk about your ideals, otherwise it’s all castles in the sky, and you’re just a scholar!" Lin Xiaoqian spurned Lin Siran’s words, and also spurned his young and ignorant self.

Lin Siran sneered, and said, "Rather than fighting, it's more about clinging to others. Like a vine without bones, you can only survive by clinging to the big tree in your eyes. Once your tree falls, you Thinking of changing a tree to climb, you have no backbone at all. The Governor of Southwest China is the new big tree you are looking for, right?"

"Shut up!" Lin Xiaoqian roared, "I only ask you now, whether to agree or not, Yan Shichu's future depends on your thoughts!"

Lin Siran closed his eyes slightly, and also understood that talking to someone like Lin Xiaoqian is useless, he will not wake up, he has already been lost in Vanity Fair.

"I agree, but I can't guarantee that the Han family will definitely take a fancy to me. If they are unwilling to agree to this marriage, you can't blame me, can you?" Lin Siran looked at Lin Xiaoqian.

Lin Xiaoqian smiled, contented, as if he was finally proud in front of his daughter, he raised his chin.
