The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Xiangling said happily: "San Ye quickly sing it out and tell us to listen."

Liu Rushi said urgently: "No, you forgot that the wife has orders not to interfere with your husband's study."

Xiang Ling hurriedly said: "Yes, I almost forgot."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "It's just singing a song, nothing more."

Liu Rushi persuaded: "After the exam is over, it won't be too late for the third master to sing for us."

"Uh, okay."

Liu Rushi told Tian'er again: "Tian'er, send the third master to study in the study."

"Yes, auntie."

Lin Yun walked out of the bedroom helplessly, muttering, "What a miserable life!"

...

The next morning, Lin Yun, who was writing an article in the study, heard a visitor, so he threw away the brush in his hand and ran out to meet him.

As soon as he walked into the large living room in the front yard, he saw Zhao Hongming, who was dressed like a big bear, greet him, cupped his fists and smiled at him, "Brother Yun, when we first came to the capital, we heard that you were appointed as the deputy commander of the Dongcheng Military Division." Shi, congratulations!"

Lin Yun said modestly: "A petty official the size of a sesame mung bean is nothing."

Tian Sheng and Zhao Lin also came over, saluted Lin Yun and said hello.

After the greetings, Lin Yun asked the three of them to sit down again, and asked them, "Where do you three live after you come to Beijing?"

Zhao Hongming: "We live in the Jinling Guild Hall, where scholars who take the exam are specially entertained."

Lin Yun: "There must be a lot of people over there, and it's not convenient to live there. If you don't give up, why don't you just live in my house?"

Zhao Hongming said happily: "Okay, let's live together, we can go shopping in brothels together."

Lin Yun said awkwardly: "Brother Hongming, I'm afraid it won't be possible to visit a brothel. My uncle has strictly ordered me not to play around before the interrogation."

Zhao Hongming: "Who is your uncle? How can he control you?"

Tian Sheng: "Brother Yun's uncle is the former Yangzhou Salt Patrol Envoy, Master Lin Ruhai."

Zhao Hongming patted his forehead and said: "Look at my memory, I forgot about this."

Zhao Lin asked Lin Yun, "Brother Yun, can I borrow Master Lin's reading notes from his scientific examination?"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "Of course, I also have something to ask Brother Zhao for advice."

Zhao Lin: "Don't dare to ask for advice, let's learn from each other."

Lin Yun smiled at Zhao Hongming again: "Brother Hongming, if you want to go to the brothel to drink flower wine, I can ask Ziying and Xue Pan to accompany you."

Zhao Hongming said happily: "Okay, I just can't find the two of them."

Lin Yun asked Tian Cheng again: "Brother Tian, ​​do you want to go with Brother Hong Ming?"

Tian Sheng hurriedly said: "I'd better stay and study for now. After the exam is over, it won't be too late for us to go to the brothel together."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Lin Yun immediately asked someone to call the housekeeper Qian Cong, and ordered him to clean up a few guest rooms for the three students to live in.

...

Since then, with Tian Sheng and Zhao Lin preparing for the exam together, Lin Yun didn't feel that studying was boring anymore.

Especially Zhao Lin, this guy's scriptures are of a very high level, and studying with him has really benefited Lin Yun a lot.

Of course, he didn't hide his secrets, he took out all the policy papers he wrote, and asked Tian Sheng and Zhao Lin to comment.

As for Zhao Hongming, Xue Pan and Feng Ziying accompanied him wandering around the Fireworks Alley, and they quickly spent all the money he brought.

Fortunately, the examination date is approaching, so he can only stay in the mansion to crouch temporarily, and read the recent articles written by Lin Yun, Tian Sheng, and Zhao Lin.

On February 360, the seventh year of Zhide, the triennial examination competition finally kicked off. Nearly [-] elites from Dachu gathered in the capital to compete for [-] five Jinshi places.

...

In the seventh year of Yongzhi, on the [-]th day of the second month, the sky was not yet clear, and just after Maoshi, the inner house in the forest garden was lit with little lights.

In the bedroom, the bleary-eyed Lin Yun washed and dressed under the service of Xiang Ling and Brother Ying.

Qin Keqing was leaning on the soft couch and watching Ping'er carefully counting the things in the test basket. She originally wanted to prepare things for Lin Yun, but Lin Yun insisted not to do so, so she had to let Ping'er prepare them on her behalf.

At this time, Liu Rushi walked in with Tian'er, and said with a smile, "I prepared some cakes for my husband, and brought them to the examination room to satisfy my hunger."

Lin Yun: "It's better to have less, I guess my aunt will also send someone over."

Qin Keqing: "Bring more unimitated food. If you can't eat it, just throw it away. It's better than not enough food."

Liu Rushi: "What my sister said is true."

As soon as the words were finished, Daiyu came in leading four minions, and saluted Lin Yun: "Brother, little sister, I wish you the title on the gold list and be the number one."

Lin Yun: "To be on the list is because our Lin family's ancestral grave is smoking. As for winning the top spot, don't even think about it,"

Daiyu giggled and said, "Brother will definitely be named on the gold list, the number one scholar in high school."

Lin Yun: "Thank you for your kind words. By the way, what did you bring me?"

Daiyu stretched out her right hand and said, "Here, my father asked me to give this to you."

Lin Yun took a closer look, and it turned out to be a folded paper sign. He took it and unfolded it, and saw three words written on it, "Normal Heart".

Lin Yun put the paper sign on the dressing table, smiled at Daiyu and asked, "What will my sister give me?"

Daiyu smiled sweetly and said, "I gave it away just now."

"What did you send?"

"That's an auspicious saying."

"Oh, this gift of yours is really light."

Hehehe~

After packing up, Lin Yun held the test basket in his left hand and the woolen quilt in his right hand, and smiled at everyone, "I'm leaving, you all go back and rest."

Ping'er hurriedly said: "I will send you off, servant girl."

"Don't send them all, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble if I'm late."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he walked quickly to the door.

Qin Keqing: "What my husband said is that it takes time to send it back and forth, everyone go back, there are Xiao Mo and Zhong Yi outside."

Liu Rushi and Heping'er both bowed, saluted, and left.

Daiyu ran to the couch, smiled at Qin Keqing and said, "Brother's exam will take several days, and Yu'er will sleep with sister-in-law, okay?"

Qin Keqing smiled and said, "Okay, I'm worried about being lonely when I sleep alone."

"With me talking to my sister-in-law, you won't be lonely."

...

Here, as soon as Lin Yun walked out of the yard, he saw Xiaoya standing in front of him with a lantern in one hand and a food box in the other, and said with a smile: "Master, the cakes I made with my own hands are delicious, you can bring them into the examination room go eat."

Lin Yun stretched out both hands and said, "I've already filled up all of this, I really can't fit it."

"It's okay, this servant will take you out."

After Xiaoya finished speaking, she carried a lantern and walked in front of Lin Yun to illuminate him.

Lin Yun asked as he walked, "Why didn't you say you wished me the title on the gold list?"

Xiaoya turned her head and said with a smile: "It's a major event in life for others to be named on the gold list, but for you, third master, it's just icing on the cake."

Lin Yun smacked his lips and said, "The one who knows my heart is also Miss Xiaoya."

"Thank you, Third Master, for the compliment."

Lin Yun suddenly asked: "Xiaoya, may I know your original name?"

Xiaoya smiled and said, "I'll tell you when the third master treats Xiaoya as a relative one day."

"Okay, let's make a deal."

"It's a word."

Chapter 257: Everyone Has Sad Things

On the afternoon of the 24th, Lin Ruhai and Lu Xingzhi were playing against each other across a small table in the Changya room of Yichen Academy.

Lu Xingzhi's expression was very relaxed and his waist was straight. He was holding a delicate white jade teacup in his hand and sipping tea leisurely.

Lin Ruhai, who was sitting opposite, was leaning forward, frowning tightly, holding a white piece in his right hand, and he didn't let it fall down.

After a long time, Lin Ruhai put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess jar and sighed, "Oh! I lost this game again."

Lu Xingzhi: "Ru Hai, you are in such a poor condition today, is it because you are worried about your nephew?"

Lin Ruhai picked up the teacup on the tray, smiled wryly and said, "It's a lie to say that you don't worry about it, I guess at this time, the test should be over, right?"

Lu Xingzhi: "With the speed at which Ruoyu writes, I'm afraid he would have finished his exams and returned home. If you're worried about him, you might as well go back home and have a look now."

"I can't ask anything if I go back now, so I'll wait until the day when the results are released."

After a pause, Lin Ruhai asked Lu Xingzhi, "Brother Xingzhi, do you think the Son of Heaven will release Ruoyu as an official after the trial?"

Lu Xingzhi said in surprise, "Why do you think so?"

Lin Ruhai: "The Son of Heaven first asked Ruoyu to go to Zuowuwei to train soldiers, and then let him go to the Dongcheng Bingmasi to maintain law and order. It can be seen that the Son of Heaven wanted him to experience more experience. I wondered if the Son of Heaven would let Ruoyu go to the place, to be a county magistrate?"

Lu Xingzhi: "Probably not. The deputy commander of Dongcheng Army and Horse Division has similar responsibilities as the county magistrate. There is no need for the emperor to let Ruoyu govern one side."

Lin Ruhai said happily after hearing the words: "If it's what Brother Xing thinks, I will feel at ease."

Lu Xingzhi joked: "Don't you want Ruoyu to become the county magistrate?"

Lin Ruhai: "Ruoyu is young and is too radical in his actions. If he is allowed to govern a party, something will probably go wrong."
