The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Lu Xingzhi was not polite, took the letter and opened it directly, looking at it in front of the emperor.

Chapter 40: Learning is difficult

Not long after, Lu Xingzhi put down the letter and smiled at the emperor: "Ruhai wrote to ask me to give his nephew a chance to see if he can study in the academy."

Emperor Zhide looked strange and said: "Lin Qing has also learned to show favoritism?"

Lu Xingzhi: "No, that nephew of his is quite strange. He has talent, but his articles on Jingyi are mediocre. He knows that I don't like this, so he wants me to test him out and see him. Is it a material that can be made?"

"Since Lin Qing said that, he must have great confidence in his nephew."

After Emperor Zhide finished speaking, he told Changlu, "Go and bring people in, I also want to see Lin Ruhai's nephew."

Chang Lu hurriedly said: "The grassroots respect the decree."

After Changlu left, Emperor Zhide ordered Dai Quan again: "You should avoid it first, lest people see through my identity."

"The old slave respects the order."

Dai Quan bowed to salute, and then exited the door.

...

Outside the academy, Lin Yun was waiting impatiently. Suddenly, the door of the academy was opened again, and a fat head came out from inside. He smiled at Lin Yun, "My mountain chief said that he can see you."

Lin Yun proudly said: "I'll just say, as long as you have read my uncle's letter, there is no reason for you mountain chiefs to ignore it."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the door. The old man Guo was about to follow, but he was stopped by the fat head, "My mountain chief said again that he is only allowed to go in by himself."

Miracle doctor Guo showed confusion. Today's incident was too abnormal. The other party pretended not to know him, but now Lu Xingzhi agreed to see Lin Yun, but he still refused to let him in. It's really weird.

Lin Yun begged from the side: "You see he is quite old, and he still has to stand outside to suffer the cold, can you bear it?"

The man thought for a while, and said to Miracle Doctor Guo: "Then go in and find a place to have a cup of tea, but you can't run around in the academy."

Doctor Guo seemed to understand something. He pretended to be angry and said: "Isn't it just a broken academy? I don't want to enter it yet."

"It's best not to enter, anyway, he won't be able to stay for long."

After the fat head finished speaking, he directly closed the gate of the academy.

...

Lin Yun followed the fat head into the academy, passed through the porch, and saw a flat and spacious grassland in front of him. There were a dozen young people in scholar uniforms playing Cuju on the grass. Seeing that they were playing in a very orderly manner, they must have I play this often.

The two of them were walking forward when suddenly a sepak takraw ball flew from the air and hit the fat head's chest.

Lin Yun was quick to move, raised his foot and kicked the sepak takraw ball away in the air.

"Good footwork!"

Some scholars cheered loudly in the crowd, but the fat head was furious, he yelled at the scholars with a dark face and asked, "Who kicked it just now?"

A short but strong scholar ran out from the crowd, saluted his fat head and said, "Master, I kicked you, but I didn't kick you on purpose."

"Qin Xiaoting, I knew it must be you. It seems that you have too much energy. If so, I will punish you to run fifty laps."

"Yes, Master."

The scholar named Qin Xiaoting responded, and then ran around obediently.

Lin Yun secretly smacked his tongue when he saw it. In addition to being beaten here, they were also punished by running in circles. It seemed that it was really not a place for people to stay. Only fools came here to seek punishment.

...

Passing through the two classrooms, Lin Yun noticed that a lecturer was teaching the scholars inside, but he just listened to it hastily, but he couldn't tell what course he was teaching.

Soon, the two walked along the corridor into a small independent courtyard in the northeast corner of the academy.

After entering the courtyard, Lin Yun found that there were still a few men in Tsing Yi guarding the courtyard. He secretly complained in his heart, this Lu Shanzhang has a big spectrum, teaching and educating people with so many guards, presumably his There must be many enemies.

In the end, the two walked into an almost simple elegant room. Lin Yun looked up and found two people sitting in the room, one was an old man with a white beard who was nearly sixty years old, and the other was a middle-aged man with a thin face and sharp eyes. young man.

Before he could tell which one was the master, he heard the old man with white beard laughing and saying: "This old man is Lu Xingzhi, may I ask the scholar's name?"

"Junior Lin Yun pays homage to Master Lu Shan. This is a gift from my uncle."

Lin Yun saluted Lu Xingzhi first, and then offered the gift box with both hands.

When Lu Xingzhi saw this, he was immediately embarrassed. The emperor was sitting next to him. Why did this guy just give him a gift?

Emperor Zhide said with a gloomy face: "Lin Shizi, before you came here, you must have heard that Lu Shanzhang does not accept gifts, right?"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "I've heard of it. However, that's for outsiders. There is no way to accept a gift from my uncle."

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, he almost fainted from anger. He cursed in his heart: "Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai, is this the talent you are talking about? I think he is just a fool."

Emperor Zhide smiled jokingly and said, "Your uncle gave a gift to Master Lu. It must be to help you enter the academy, right?"

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "It's natural. What else should I do here from Yangzhou?"

Luckily, Lu Xingzhi was not so angry that he vomited blood. He closed his eyes and comforted himself in his heart: "Lin Ruhai must have been driven stupid by the salt merchant. Otherwise, how could he recommend such a thing to me?"

Emperor Zhide laughed aloud, and then asked: "Lin Shizi, tell me first, why do you study?"

Lin Yun replied without hesitation: "Naturally for the purpose of being an official, the bigger the better."

Lu Xingzhi couldn't bear it any longer. He shouted angrily: "Shut up! This academy is not a place for people like you."

Lin Yun blinked and asked, "Master Lu Shan, are you saying that I was eliminated?"

"Yes, let's go."

Lin Yun pretended to be sad and said: "Master Lu Shan, don't you test me?"

"Fuck the exam, get out!"

"Ok."

Lin Yun secretly rejoiced in his heart, the old guy fell for it so easily, it seems that his luck is really good.

He responded, then bowed his head and walked quickly to the door.

Just when he was about to step out of the room, he suddenly heard Emperor Zhi De coldly say behind him: "Lin Shizi, you have been admitted, come to the academy to report tomorrow."

"what!"

Lin Yun blurted out, and then turned his head to look at the Zhide Emperor in surprise.

Emperor Zhide sneered: "You don't learn well at a young age. When I see your uncle next time, I really want to ask him how he taught you such a bold boy."

"Uh,"

Having been seen through, Lin Yun was embarrassing now.

Lu Xingzhi also recalled it at this time, and he said angrily to Lin Yun: "Little bastard, how dare you play tricks on the old man, and I will settle accounts with you later."

Lin Yun hurriedly smiled and said: "Gentlemen, don't be angry, juniors~"

Lu Xingzhi waved his hand and said: "Get out! I will report to the academy tomorrow. If you dare not come, I will have someone break your legs."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Master Lu Shan, I just arrived in the capital yesterday, and there are still many things to deal with at home. Can you give me a few more days?"

Lu Xingzhi: "Then report in three days later, no further delay."

"Thank you! This junior will leave."

Lin Yun fled out of the house in embarrassment. When he walked out of the yard, he blamed himself in his heart, "I'm still inexperienced. It must be because of the heavy traces of the performance just now. Be careful next time."

...

After Lin Yun left, Lu Xingzhi sighed and said, "I didn't expect that I was so smart that I was deceived by this kid."

Emperor Zhide laughed and said, "Sir, you've been beating an eagle all your life, but in the end, the little eagle pecked your eyes out."

Lu Xingzhi: "When did your Majesty see through his trick?"

Emperor Zhide proudly said: "I was also irritated by him at first, but when he said that I studied to be an official, I saw through his mind. Since he was recommended by Lin Qing, how could he be so unbearable?" ."

Lu Xingzhi smiled and said, "I was also bewitched by this kid, and I didn't understand why Ruhai sent him here until now."

"This kid is too slippery. He needs to be cared for carefully by your husband before he can be polished into a piece of rough jade."

Lu Xingzhi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This old man will live up to Ruhai's entrustment."

Chapter 41: I want to marry a wife

When he came out of the academy, he didn't see old man Guo.After searching for a long time, I saw him next to a big tree with plum blossoms in full bloom.

As soon as they met, Doctor Guo couldn't wait to ask him about the result of his meeting with Lu Xingzhi, and asked him if he had been admitted to the academy.

Lin Yun said depressedly: "Don't mention it, Lu Xingzhi had already eliminated me, but there was a nosy guy in the room who insisted on admitting me, and I don't know who he is, even Lu Xingzhi listened to him. "

"Oh, tell me quickly, what that person looks like and how he recruited you."

Lin Yun told the story of the meeting to Doctor Guo. The old man twirled his beard and nodded frequently, but he was amazed in his heart, "I don't know if this kid is lucky or unlucky, but he was personally chosen by the emperor." to the academy."

Old Man Guo: "Boy Yun, you are lucky this time. Once you enter the academy, you will be close to being named on the gold list."

"Come on, even if everything goes well, it will take three years to be admitted to Juren, another year to be admitted to Jinshi, and I don't know how long it will be before I become a small official with sesame seeds and mung beans as a candidate. I guess when I become the magistrate of the county, the children will have to wait." Can run all over the place."

Doctor Guo happily said: "Boy Yun, do you want to marry a wife?"

"Just talking, I'm still young, it seems to be too early to think about this."

"How early is it? After the new year, you will be fourteen. Many people are as old as you, and they even have children."

"Uh, you are a doctor, you should know that it is not good to get married early."

"You can get engaged first. By the way, Mr. Yun, what kind of woman do you want to marry?"

Lin Yun rubbed his chin with his hand, and said with longing: "If I marry a wife, first of all, I must look beautiful, so that I can look good every day. It would be even better if I can be gentler."

"Oh,"
